"If you are tired of walking in the dew, why don't you stay up all night, saying that there is a lot of dew in your walk?" [Poetry·Xinglu]
After all, Duan Xun was an envoy of the imperial court, and he was responsible for the imperial edict. However, when he arrived in Shaanxi County, there was no movement. Apparently, he was concealed secretly, and his intention was not to let everyone know that the imperial court had pardoned them, so as to achieve his ulterior motives.
.
From the audience's performance along the way, it is undoubtedly clear who this person is.
Jia Xu felt angry and thought he was smart for a moment, but he didn't expect to be used and deceived by Li Jue and others, whom he usually despised. He could have accepted a pardon, but instead he was forced into the ranks of the rebels, and was even tricked into becoming the mastermind.
How does this make future generations view him?
He was extremely angry in his heart. This was really helping the evildoers and being taken advantage of by traitors.
I heard Cai Yong continue to incite: "I didn't mention it in the account just now because I might be dead and have no proof. If I say it in vain, it will make Li Jue cross-examine me. From this, how can people like Jue Si achieve great things? You follow and raise an army,
only
It is an expedient measure and a last resort. Now that the Holy Emperor is on the throne, he is determined to revive the country and select all candidates based on virtue and talent. He also ignores past grudges and breaks the past practice of pardoning after one year to allow those who still have loyalty like the school captain.
People reform."
Cai Yong half-tilted his upper body towards Jia Xu and made an intimate gesture: "Your Majesty has known about the great talent of the school captain for a long time. Your Majesty said when you came here that if this matter can be facilitated, he will pay homage to the minister and be ranked as the ninth minister. No need to say anything."
Why do you have to help this generation to cause chaos? How can it be done by a human minister to exploit the power of chaos and abandon the way of aid?"
After saying this, Jia Xu no longer showed any pretense and said: "I originally thought there was no hope of being pardoned, so I did this rebellious act. Now, Your Majesty is wise, please forgive me. He is just a mere incompetent, how can he benefit the country?"
Does Your Majesty value you? If Your Majesty does not regard Xu as humble, Xu is willing to follow him around and be driven by him."
"Okay, okay, Captain Jia's move has solved the imperial court's crisis in a short time. He has made great contributions to the country, so what does it mean to be without talent? Your Majesty is indeed right about the person. If you have wise ministers, the Han Dynasty will be rejuvenated." Cai Yong said excitedly.
He carefully put the knot in his arms aside and bowed to Jia Xu.
"No! No!" Jia Xu hurriedly left the banquet and declined, saying: "Mr. Cai is more famous and older than me, so I am not allowed to pay homage to him."
"I only know the righteousness of the scriptures, but not wisdom. I am here today only because of your Majesty's advice. Your Majesty only gave me a general strategy for what to do next. Please ask Colonel Jia to help me with the specifics."
After the two politely declined for a while, they returned to the table. Jia Xu twisted his beard and muttered: "I wonder what your Majesty's plan is?"
"His Majesty's original words were, 'Unite all those who can be united. In this way, we can reduce the enemy to the minimum and concentrate on dealing with stubborn people like Hu Zhen and others.' Among them, Hu Zhen and Yang Ding are the ones who have been hand-picked by His Majesty to be unpardoned.
, the rest, such as Fan Chou and others, are worth winning over." Cai Yong said.
Jia Xu's eyes lit up, and he praised in his heart: "Although your Majesty's words are crude, they are still a perfect principle. They are consistent with Mencius' words: 'Those who have gained the Tao will have many help, and those who have lost the Tao will have few help.'"
It seems that the young emperor is indeed as wise as Cai Yong said. With such a wise master, how could Jia Xu not seize this opportunity?
He carefully analyzed Cai Yong: "Now, as Cai Gong saw, the army is divided into two factions. One faction is dominated by Li Jue and other Niu Fu's old troops. They have strong soldiers and horses and are unwilling to give up and be bound by the imperial court again. This is
You can follow your majesty's wishes and, after entering the city, ambush and kill them as a warning to others. Their troops will either be dismissed or returned to the imperial court, and they will all be subject to the Holy Order."
Cai Yong nodded, agreeing with Jia Xu's view. Of course, this was already planned.
Jia Xu went on to say: "The other faction is dominated by Dong Zhuo's old troops such as Fan Chou, Dong Cheng and others. After seeing Li Jue and others commit suicide, they will definitely be afraid of the imperial court. Although their official positions were once higher than Li Jue's, they are still
If the troops and horses are slightly weaker, it won't matter if we lose military power. The imperial court will not break its promise and treat those who surrender badly."
"The imperial court has bestowed favors on the country, and the Liu family has been in power for four hundred years. How can it be broken by others? Since I was ordered to come here, it is the greatest sincerity of the imperial court." Cai Yong said: "As long as they are willing to surrender, they will retain their military power.
Even if it is Li Jue or Guo Si who is promoted to a higher level, Your Majesty is willing to give in to others for the time being and get promoted and rewarded."
"It will be easy to handle this way." Jia Xu knocked on the table with his fingers, leaned forward and said: "They raised their troops here just to save their lives. Since the battle of Xinfeng, the lives of all the generals are not in danger, so
I want to further seek high-ranking officials and generous salaries. As long as Your Majesty ignores the past grudges and does not hesitate to reward him, I can persuade everyone to accept the recruitment and abandon the army and enter the city for Cai Gong. However, if anything happens after entering the city, it has nothing to do with me."
Cai Yong understood that Jia Xu did not want to get the reputation of harming his colleagues, and expressed his understanding: "This is natural. Before leaving, Your Majesty has given me an easy job. As long as the Liangzhou generals are willing to enter the city, I will be a hussar general."
,
Your Majesty can afford it. However, after Hu Zhen and others are crowned, the imperial court will send people to take over the troops here. At that time, they are afraid that there will be a change in military morale and some die-hard loyalists will instigate resistance, so Captain Jia must come forward to mediate."
Jia Xu nodded, and suddenly remembered that Zhang Ji, the captain of Niu Fu's old army, had been friendly with him in the past. Once he entered the dynasty in the future, he might be alone without the help of the army, so he might as well reserve an army for himself.
power.
As for why he did not choose Fan Chou, who was also convinced by him, it was because Fan Chou was brave and foolhardy, often hurting others without knowing it, and was not as calm as Zhang Ji.
In order to prevent the emperor from putting all Niu Fu's old men on the unpardonable blacklist, Jia Xu felt the need to rescue Zhang Ji: "The school captain Zhang Ji is quite courageous, and he usually trusts me. If I can get his help to suppress the army,
This will go more smoothly."
Cai Yong knew that he was vouching for Zhang Ji, and Zhang Ji was not the person named by the emperor to die, so he was happy to be a favor and agreed without hesitation.
With his life in danger and his future guaranteed, Jia Xu no longer had any worries and began to plan for the emperor: "Today, everyone can see the military power on the city. In addition, His Majesty came to the city in person. Under the shock of his majesty, all the generals spoke
Not to mention, they are actually a little timid in their hearts. Therefore, Cai Gong’s trip is just in time, and it is not difficult to persuade them to submit.”
Cai Yong did not answer, and just listened to Jia Xu continue: "The difficulty lies in letting them abandon their subordinates and go into the city alone to receive the reward. Dong Zhuo has learned from his mistakes, and I am afraid they will have to work harder to convince Li Jue."
"This is a big problem." Cai Yong sighed: "They are all cunning and unwilling to let go easily. They will not stop until they see Wang Yun die. Zhong Shenfu has already returned to the city to report, and I don't know what your Majesty's decision will be.
"
Jia Xu seemed to have expected it. Although he did not see the young emperor in Chang'an City, he felt that he had gradually figured out his temper: "If Chao Cuo can drive back the soldiers of the seven countries, killing Wang Yun can defeat a hundred thousand people. So.
Your Majesty's wisdom makes it easy for you to make a decision."
Cai Yong was a man who knew the history, and he was even more worried about this: "I am afraid that they will think that the imperial court is weak, blindly seek peace, and have contempt for it."
"If they were not careless, how could they have fallen into His Majesty's favor?"
