Six hundred and fortieth chapters request to change rooms
"Prefect Cao actually doesn't have to worry so much. During this time, the generals around Li Jue and Guo Si rebelled and walked away. Their strength is no longer as strong as when they first came to Chang'an. There are also things like rescuing and welcoming the emperor.
Things don't happen every day, and the so-called opportunity cannot be missed and will never come back. Of course, keeping the emperor next to you will cause a lot of inconveniences. Therefore, many princes and powerful people today avoid this matter. It is an advantage or a disadvantage, a blessing or a disaster.
, Governor Cao, you have to weigh it yourself!"
These words were not spoken by Zhong Yao or Cao Zhi's generals or advisers, but by Jia Xu, who had been sitting quietly beside Zhong Yao.
The first half of Jia Xu's words seemed to be persuading Cao Zhi to welcome the emperor, and he also revealed some information about the military strength of Li Jue and Guo Si. The second half seemed to be telling Cao Zhi that welcoming the emperor would be a priority for him.
Inconveniences around you.
What did this guy mean? For a moment, most people in the hall didn't understand the position Jia Xu wanted to express.
"Jia Xu, are you trying to help me? Or... or... I ask you to stay, but you are trying to persuade me..."
Zhong Yao, who was in a panic, felt that Jia Xu was trying to tear him down and take advantage of him. He was very angry at Jia Xu's double-dealing words and involuntarily turned around and roared at Jia Xu.
Unexpectedly, facing Zhong Yao's angry glare, Jia Xu just sighed, glanced at Zhong Yao with his little eyes, and ignored him. Instead, he looked at the tea bowl in front of him and drank the tea slowly.
While working, he peeked at Cao Zhi's reaction from the corner of his eye.
Cao Zhi looked at Jia Xu with great interest as soon as he opened his mouth. He was probably the only one present who could tell that Jia Xu was provoking him and testing him.
Cao Zhi always believed that the battle of wits between him and Jia Xu was not over yet, and Cao Zhi was prepared to slowly recover from tonight's humiliation in the days to come. Unexpectedly, Jia Xu took the initiative to start a fight again, and of course Cao Zhi could not show weakness.
"Master Zhong, don't worry, Mr. Jia is here to help you again. His words just now aroused my competitive spirit, and secondly, he wanted to take the opportunity to test my attitude towards the emperor!"
Cao Zhi's words made Jia Xu's eyes light up, but he never expressed his emotions easily. Regarding the meaning of Cao Zhi's words, he only twitched the corner of his mouth and continued to sip his tea without looking at it.
Cao Zhi took advantage of the astonishment of Zhong Yao and others and continued: "Of course I am also prepared to be provoked by Mr. Jia and send troops to meet the Holy Emperor. I still say that my heart to welcome the Holy Emperor remains unchanged!"
Cao Zhi's statement made Zhong Yao breathe a sigh of relief. Then, Cao Zhi's subordinates said: "Xu Chu, you lead a thousand guards battalion first and go to Dayang to welcome the Holy Emperor! Le Jin, you lead the front army to follow.
If you encounter rebels such as Li Jue and Guo Si, you must ensure the safety of the holy driver!"
"Yes!" Xu Chu and Le Jin took the order and hurried away.
Cao Zhi dispatched the two most powerful generals in his tent at once, which made Zhong Yao not only relieved, but also almost ecstatic for a while. When Cao Zhi issued the general order, he also left his seat in a hurry
, first bowed to Jia Xuyi, expressing his apology for the impulsiveness just now, and then immediately said to Cao Zhi: "The two generals are not familiar with the people around Shengjia, so I'd better go with them to help introduce them!"
"That's fine, Le Jin escorts Zhong Yao to a safe journey!" Cao Zhi has no objection to Zhong Yao giving him a front-line position. They are indeed unfamiliar with the people around Emperor Xian.
But as soon as Cao Zhi promised Zhong Yao to go to Dayang with the front army, Li Ru suddenly stood up, bowed and asked Cao Zhi for orders: "I'll go too! One more person means more care!"
Li Ru's initiative to ask for help stunned everyone. Only Jia Xu squinted his eyes and snorted: "This guy is not simple. It is difficult for Cao Zhi not to be a powerful minister with such a person by his side!"
When Jia Xu thought about it, Cao Zhi, Xun Chen and others also guessed a little bit of Li Ru's intentions. When Xun Chen secretly lamented that Li Ru was very ambitious, Cao Zhi smiled and agreed to Li Ru's request.
Along with Zhong Yao, he followed Yue Jin's former army to pick up the holy driver.
When Li Ru and Zhong Yao left the front hall one after another, preparing to go to Dayang, Cao Zhi glanced at Jia Xu, who was shaking his head, and suddenly changed his mind. Facing Zhang He, Zhao Yun said: "You two gather people from other places.
Soldiers and horses, let them gather towards Anyi, and then stay in Anyi. Xu Chu only leads a thousand guards, which may be a little less. Let Le Jin lead a thousand light cavalry to follow him quickly. I will go to the front army behind!"
"Ah! My lord wants to go to Dayang in person?"
When Zhao Yun Qing said, Cao Zhi smiled faintly, turned to Jia Xu and said: "Of course I am not the only one, Xun Chen is traveling with me, and Mr. Jia..."
"Ah...I..."
########## Jia Xu had no choice but to be dragged by Cao Zhi to join the procession of welcoming the Holy Emperor. At this time, he was neither a subordinate of Cao Zhi, but also a deserted official. Because Jia Xu had previously made it public
The identity belongs to Li Jue, and now the emperor is protected by Li Jue, a group of people who are hostile to Guo Si. If Jia Xu openly appears in front of them, they will definitely dig up Jia Xu's old scores without mercy.
Therefore, Jia Xu repeatedly asked Cao Zhi that he would not go. He would definitely stay in Anyi and wait for Cao Zhi's return.
No matter how much Jia Xu begged, Cao Zhi was indifferent and insisted on taking Jia Xu with him. Based on Li Ru's request, Cao Zhi went with Zhong Yao to protect Cao Zhi's interests, and then suddenly thought, why bother to sacrifice the near for the distant!
Jia Xu was not only close to Li Jue and Guo Si, but also served Emperor Xian for four years. No one should know the current court and the people around Emperor Xian better than him.
When Cao Zhi was sure that taking Jia Xu with him was a wise move, Xun Chen did not forget to remind Cao Zhi that Jia Xu was a thief who could tell at a glance that he was not a good person. Xun Chen reminded Cao Zhi that it was good to take Jia Xu with him, but don't be fooled by this
Jia Xu contacted or took refuge with Li Jue and others again to trick them!
Cao Zhi also thought carefully about Xun Chen's reminder. Judging from his historical knowledge and observation of Jia Xu's hiding place, it is unlikely that he will join Li Jue again. Jia Xu is a very realistic person, and he has
A long-term awareness that most people don't have. Although Cao Zhi has not shown any unique qualities that make Jia Xu think of his talent and strategy, Jia Xu will not go back to Li Jue, who is about to become a bandit.
Anyway, when he met Cao Zhi, Jia Xu was unlucky. Not only was his original plan disrupted for no reason, but his entire life trajectory was also disrupted. Cao Zhi didn't recognize anything else but that Jia Xu was the most "poisonous person" in the history of the Three Kingdoms.
", who knows how to protect himself best and is the best at scheming with others. Since he accidentally encountered him, he would ruthlessly cut him off with a knife in the middle and cut off his future destiny. Even if it was forced, he would have to make Jia Xu serve him.
After Cao Zhi asked Le Jin to go ahead, he led the front army with 6,000 infantry, followed closely behind, and advanced towards Dayang.
There was an incident before Cao Zhi's departure. Jia Xu's wife, Huang, who had just moved into the backyard, hurried over to Jia Xu before she had packed her bags and told Jia Xu that the female guest Yang who lived in the same hospital with her was going to commit suicide. She entered
After the hospital, she first went to visit the neighbor who was also a female guest as mentioned by her husband. It was a coincidence that she went there and happened to see Yang Wan, who was too ashamed and angry to face the world and hanged herself. So she immediately called the maids and the servants rescued Yang Wan.
Down.
Yang Wan also just hanged herself. After Huang rescued her, she woke up soon. But no matter how Huang asked her if she had anything that was bothering her, she refused to tell her. She just kept crying and wanted to die. Comfort.
After waiting for a long time, Mrs. Huang had no choice but to come to her husband and explain the situation. Mrs. Huang was running errands for a new acquaintance, not for anything else but to clear up the relationship.
Huang and Jia Xu had been husband and wife for more than thirty years, and they had learned a few tricks to protect themselves. She was afraid that Yang Wan died in her yard for no reason and would be related to her, so she asked her by the way.
Cao Zhi requested - change rooms.
After hearing Huang's request, Cao Zhi cursed secretly, "What a pair. If Jia Xu is an old fox, you, an old female fox, are no less good!"
At this time, Cao Zhi had no time to care about Huang's timidity. When he heard that Yang Wan had committed suicide, he quickly dismounted his horse and asked the ready-to-go troops to stand by. He then walked around the backyard to comfort Yang Wan.
Looking at the world at all times and in all over the world, there is probably only one person in the world, Cao Zhi, a great love sage, who postponed such an important matter as welcoming the emperor in order to appease a woman with whom he had no relationship, and was not even married.
Jia Xu poked her head and looked at Cao Zhi's quickly disappearing figure, and said to Xun Chen who was in the same carriage: "Your master is really a lover!"
In response to Jia Xu's ridicule, Xun Chen could only respond with an embarrassed wry smile.
But Cao Zhi didn't let Jia Xu and others wait any longer, and I don't know how he persuaded Yang Wan. He entered the inner palace and came back after a while.
Jia Xu couldn't forget to joke: "The prefect is so capable, how can he settle it so quickly?"
Regarding Jia Xu's ridicule, Cao Zhi certainly would not hold back, and retorted in time without thinking: "Of course, women just cry, make trouble, and hang themselves. With these three magic weapons, I can get rid of them with just six words."
Defeat that woman!"
"Those six words?" Huang couldn't help but asked.
Cao Zhi stretched out his fingers and tugged them while chanting like numbers: "When I come back, marry her!"
"Ah, that's a horse..." The startled Xun Chen rushed to the car window, forced Jia Xu out of the way, and blurted out, wanting to remind Cao Zhi that Yang Wan was Ma Chao's first wife. There was no divorce in ancient times, and Ma Chao was not dead.
He also didn't divorce Yang Wan. How could Cao Zhi brazenly say that he wanted to marry Yang Wan? But before he said the word "Quanma Chao", he thought of Jia Xu who was not part of their group, so he quickly stopped talking.
But who Jia Xu is, you can guess it even without giving him anything. Now that Xun Chen has already told half of it, Jia Xu also immediately guessed that the female guest imprisoned by Cao Zhi might be from Xiliang
People from the Ma family.
"No wonder this Cao Zhi appears here. It turns out that he came here to steal someone else's concubine. He is so daring that even people from the Ma family in Xiliang dare to touch him! This guy is really not an ordinary person!"
Jia Xu had no idea about Cao Zhi's love affair, so he just sent his wife back to move!
