Chapter 21 Strategic vision, the wisdom of top advisors.(1/2)
In just one night, the entire Luoyang City was rummaged through by the Xiliang army. This was the first large-scale search after Dong Zhuo entered Beijing.
The families of ministers suffered heavy losses.
The Xiliang army rushed into their mansion and was already very restrained. Who wouldn't just walk away some valuable things in the house?
It can be said that every Xiliang army involved in the large-scale search made a fortune tonight.
Princess Wannian said, "Xiyao, you led the Xiliang army to deal with those aristocratic families. This trick is indeed very good. Now the ministers, like us, are all hungry. However, our shortage of food is still not solved."
Wang Xiyao asked Wang Yun and Yuan Wei and the others to suffer heavy losses, but he did not receive any benefits, but instead made Dong Zhuo and the Xiliang Army rich.
In this way, Wang Xiyao's actions are all harmful to others and not beneficial to oneself.
Princess Wannian was very unwilling to accept it.
Wang Xiyao smiled and said, "Your Highness Princess, I am just a swordsman. It's okay to let me play tricks on others with martial arts and swordsmanship. The real strategy is not what I am good at."
Princess Wannian asked, "What should I do? Now all the food in the entire Luoyang City has been in Dong Zhuo's hands. If Dong Zhe spit out some food, it would be as difficult as climbing to the sky."
Wang Xiyao said: "Each person does his own duties and plans his own affairs. Let professional matters be left to professionals. Your Highness, don't worry, after breakfast, I will accompany you to meet someone. If we can get his help, our shortage of food will definitely be solved."
Princess Wannian's eyes lit up and she said, "You are talking about Jia Xu? Have you found him?"
Wang Xiyao nodded and said, "I found it. Although Jia Xu is among the Xiliang Army, he is too low-key. There are really not many people who have heard of his name. I asked Cao Mengde to find Jia Xu."
Cao Cao lived in Luoyang City since he was a child.
In Luoyang City, which corner, Cao Mengde has never been to any of the forbidden areas in the palace?
Cao Cao is the real local snake in Luoyang City.
It is definitely correct to ask Cao Cao to help find someone.
As soon as Cao Cao took action, he quickly found Jia Xu's residence.
Princess Wannian said, "Okay. After breakfast, we will go to see Jia Xu. I want to take a look. What kind of wisdom do you mean by the top strategist have?"
...
Wang Xiyao and Princess Wannian came to a dilapidated courtyard.
Princess Wannian glanced at Wang Xiyao in confusion and said, "Are you sure Jia Xu lives in this place?"
Wang Xiyao said: "That's right. Jia Xu lives here. I'll knock on the door."
Wang Xiyao patted the door.
soon.
The door opens.
A man with a medium figure, thin appearance and simple dress looked at Wang Xiyao in surprise.
This person is Jia Xu.
Wang Xiyao said: "Jia Xu, Jia Wenhe, this is our second time to meet."
Wang Xiyao went to join Dong Zhuo and danced a sword in Dong Zhuo's hall. At that time, Jia Xu was in the hall.
However, Jia Xu was not outstanding at all and was too ordinary. At that time, Wang Xiyao focused on Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo, so he naturally ignored him.
Meet Jia Xu again.
Wang Xiyao finally remembered where he had seen him.
Jia Xu bowed and said respectfully: "Wenhe has met the King of Taifu."
Wang Xiyao said, "Mr. Wenhe, wouldn't you invite His Highness and the Princess into the house and sit down?"
Jia Xu was shocked. Unexpectedly, the girl beside Wang Xiyao turned out to be His Highness the Princess.
"Your Highness Princess, Grand Tutor Wang, please come in the fast house."
...
Jia Xu's image subverted Princess Wannian's understanding of top strategists. She felt that top strategists were all wise and wise masters, and their appearance was at least fairy-like.
pity.
Not only does Jia Xu look ordinary, but his living place is even more shabby. He has nothing to do with the imaginary master of immortality.
But it's true that people should not behave like appearance.
Jia Xu asked, "Your Highness, Princess, the King's Tutor. I wonder what you will do when you come to see Jia?"
Wang Xiyao said: "Mr. Wenhe, with your wisdom, I believe that the moment I saw Wang, I guessed our purpose."
Princess Wannian said gently: "I and Wang Xiyao come to visit with a bit absurdity. Please don't be surprised by Mr. Wenhe. But we encountered a problem and needed a wise man to plan and help solve the problem. In desperation, I could only come and ask Mr. Wenhe."
Jia Xu's face was calm, but his mind was moving, and his brain was thinking quickly.
Jia Xu knew very well what Princess Wannian and Wang Xiyao did recently. Therefore, he could be sure that Wang Xiyao did not really defect to Dong Zhuo.
There were tens of thousands of hooligans outside Luoyang City, and Dong Zhuo and the court did not intend to take care of them, but Princess Wannian and Wang Xiyao took the risk of offending Dong Zhuo to provide disaster relief.
He is really kind-hearted and courageous.
To be honest, Jia Xu glanced at Princess Wannian and Wang Xiyao with a high glance.
If Princess Wannian was a man, Jia Xu would kneel down and worship his lord without saying a word.
What a pity that Princess Wannian is just a daughter and cannot be a lord.
A wise man like Jia Xu certainly wants to seek a lord who cares about the world and has benevolence and righteousness to assist him. However, such a lord is too rare.
So far, Jia Xu has not met anyone like this.
Jia Xu has met many hypocrites who are full of benevolence, righteousness, morality and cruel people like Dong Zhuo.
Except for the great scholar Cai Yong, the ministers and ministers in the court, who were a little better, had a little scholarly spirit. The others were all very hypocritical.
Princess Wannian was anxious when she saw Jia Xu being silent.
After all, she is still too young. Even though her mind is more mature than other girls, she still can't hold back when she encounters the current situation.
Wang Xiyao shook his head at her and signaled not to disturb Jia Xu.
Staying silent will put more psychological pressure on Jia Xu. A princess and the tutor of the current dynasty are waiting for Jia Xu to reply.
About half a stick of incense has passed.
Jia Xu looked up at Princess Wannian and Wang Xiyao and said, "I don't know how you learned that someone was a strategist. But these are not important anymore. Today, if I refuse His Highness the eldest princess to come out to assist, I will end up like Li Ru."
Wang Xiyao said: "Mr. Wenhe, Li Ru was not killed by me."
Jia Xu's eyes flashed and he said with a smile: "Have Jia said that Li Ru was killed by the Grand Tutor Wang?"
Wang Xiyao was stunned and came to his senses. He was fooled by Jia Xu.
Before, Jia Xu could not be sure that Li Ru died under Wang Xiyao's sword, so now Jia Xu can be sure.
If you are sure that Wang Xiyao assassinated Li Ru, many recent things can be connected in Jia Xu's mind.
Even when Dong Zhuo was assassinated last night, Jia Xu could be sure that it was Wang Xiyao.
...
Wang Xiyao and Princess Wannian stayed at Jia Xu's house for the whole morning.
The two of them had lunch with Jia Xu and walked out of the dilapidated courtyard.
Jia Xu sent them to the door.
When leaving, Wang Xiyao said: "Mr. Wenhe, what do you think is the ultimate goal of a strategist?"
Jia Xu said: "Let's plan for the country."
He is worthy of being a top strategist. Jia Xu has a great heart and ambition to be a prime minister.
Wang Xiyao smiled and said, "Mr. Wenhe is right. However, I think there is only one ultimate goal of all the planning of the strategist. That is, it can achieve 'benefiting the country, the people, and the self-interest' at the same time."
Jia Xu said: "Please rest assured His Highness the Princess and the Prince of Wang. Later, I will go to see the Prime Minister and ask for food for disaster relief."
It was not until this time that Jia Xu truly decided to assist Princess Wannian instead of vain and imprisoning the snake.
Wang Xiyao's words "benefit the country, the people, and the selfishness" touched Jia Xu.
As long as what you do is beneficial to the court and the people, you can get promoted and make money and enjoy wealth. As for whether the person you are assisting is a woman, what does it matter?
Wang Xiyao said: "Mr. Wang and His Highness the Princess are waiting for good news from Mr. Wenhe."
Princess Wannian said, "Mr. Wenhe, I have said goodbye."
...
Back to Jiange.
Princess Wannian was a little excited: "Wang Xiyao, does Mr. Wenhe really want to assist me? I still can't believe it."
I talked with Jia Xu all morning and must have talked about many topics.
Jia Xu is well-informed and well-informed, knowledgeable, and has made his analysis of the general trend of the world.
Wang Xiyao was very shocked.
