Without receiving the court's order, Wen Yuan had no choice but to wait, waiting for Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to be chased and killed by two mad dogs, Li Jue and Guo Si. At that time, Wen Yuan "just happened to" hear the news and sent troops to rescue the emperor from dire straits.
The ministers were still thinking about how to find reasons and excuses to send troops to welcome Emperor Xian back, but Wen Yuan firmly ordered Zhao Yun and others to be prepared at all times, because he was a person from the previous life and knew that Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty would definitely be defeated by Li Jue and Guo Si. He was chasing and running eastward in a hurry. It was natural and logical to send troops to rescue him at this time.
The situation in Chang'an has been developing in the direction that Wen Yuan expected. After Hongnong Zhang Ji arrived in Chang'an, he indeed persuaded Emperor Xian to return eastward. Wen Yuan was gearing up and waiting for Li Jue and Guo Si to send troops to rescue people. One person's movements made Wen Yuan temporarily Changed my mind.
You must know that at this time, Chang'an and outside were already covered with night shadow guards sent by Wen Yuan, paying close attention to the disturbances in Chang'an City. The movements of Emperor Xian were naturally the top priority of Wen Yuan's attention, but Wen Yuan did not forget One person, Jia Xu.
Among the Yeying Guards sent to Chang'an this time, there are eighteen military masters sent by Wenyuan to monitor Jia Xu. This shows that Wenyuan's Jia Xu attaches great importance to them. These people are all elites selected from a thousand. They kept strict control, and Jia Xu's daily movements could be accurately communicated to Wen Yuan. He had just moved his family out of Chang'an, and Ye Yingwei immediately reported the news to Wen Yuan.
Jia Xu wanted to leave Chang'an and Li Jue to join him elsewhere.
Upon hearing the news, Wen Yuan's first reaction was that Jia Xu must be used for his own purposes, otherwise he would rather kill him to avoid future troubles.
You must know that Jia Xu is known as a poisonous person, and everything he plans in his life is wrong. Often, his words can kill thousands of people, and even change the course of history. What is even more terrifying is his Every strategy is to first keep yourself away from the dangerous whirlpool. No matter how miserable others are, I will be safe and sound.
Wen Yuan remembered that he had read some historical materials before, which divided counselors into five levels: the fifth level plans things, the fourth level plans people, the third level plans the master, the second level plans the world, and the first level plans oneself.
Although this division does not convince everyone, it is not unreasonable. Guo Jia of his generation was talented and made many ingenious plans for Cao Cao, but in the end he died on the way to the Northern Expedition to Karasuma. With the talents of King Xunyu, Cao Cao must go on the expedition. Leaving Xun Yu behind could be said to be the rear pillar that Cao Cao relied on the most. In the end, he was inevitably jealous of Cao Cao and was poisoned for his life.
Needless to say, Zhuge Liang often compares himself to Guan Zhong and Leyi, who divided the world into three parts and determined the world. In the end, he devoted his whole life and failed to realize his great ambition on the Wuzhang Plain.
Only Jia Xu, although he wandered among various forces in his early years, and these forces were either unknown or had bad records, but Jia Xu did not die with the demise of these small forces. In the end, he fell in love with Cao Cao. The big tree stood in the palace for more than twenty years without falling, and it did not die until it was seventy-seven years old.
Among the many outstanding counselors in the Three Kingdoms, Jia Xu was one of the few who died alive.
If judged based on this, Jia Xu is a first-class counselor, while someone as powerful as Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Zhuge Liang and others can only be regarded as a second-class or third-class counselor.
As for that encounter in the north of Luoyang City, Wen Yuan almost died due to Jia Xu's plan, and finally escaped back to the military camp at Hulao Pass in embarrassment. Wen Yuan still cannot forget that thrilling encounter.
Jia Xu must be recruited into his army, and he must not be a threat to himself. Just imagine if Jia Xu defected to someone else, and if the person he took refuge in became hostile to Wen Yuan in the future, Wen Yuan would have to be in fear day and night. Rest your pillow.
Even though he was as shrewd as Cao Cao, the great hero of the generation, he fell victim to Jia Xu's insidious schemes in Wancheng. His beloved son Cao Ang, his nephew Cao Anmin, and his confidant general Dian Wei all fell into Jia Xu's vicious schemes.
So after thinking about it for a while, Wen Yuan decided to sneak into the pass secretly and meet Jia Xu before he could. For this reason, Wen Yuan even temporarily gave up the opportunity to personally welcome Emperor Xian to the pass, because the only way was to win over Jia Xu. Only under his own account can Wen Yuan rest assured.

Jia Xu sat down opposite Wen Yuan and said calmly: "When we met five years ago, the general's demeanor was even better than before. It's just that I missed it at the time. I didn't expect that the Bingzhou deserter actually defeated Wen Hou Lu Bu. Zhang Liao, who is famous all over the world, never imagined that General Zhang could be so extraordinary and achieve such achievements in just five years."
Wen Yuan smiled bitterly and said: "Sir, you are ridiculous. Liao's success today is just a fluke. If it weren't for your mercy outside Luoyang City, Liao would have been withered bones in the grave long ago. I didn't expect that after so long, Mr. Keeping it in mind so much,"
Being cared about by Jia Xu was not a pleasant thing to see. Wen Yuan couldn't help but shudder when he thought about it.
"The general let the dog live. It was such a great kindness. How could Xu forget it? Although Xu has no other talents, anyone who has met him will remember it." After a while of greetings, Jia Xu had already seen Wen before. Yuan recovered from his surprise, and his eyes became extremely deep, making it difficult to fathom what was in his heart.
"Haha, I didn't expect Mr. Wen He to have a photographic memory. Liao Zhen admires him very much..."
While Wen Yuan was talking, he was secretly excited. This was a poisonous man. He was a first-class counselor who could kill people while talking and laughing. It would be fine if he didn't know Jia Xu's life, but Wen Yuan knew Jia Xu's life very well. The bottom line is, being watched by Jia Xu, Wen Yuan felt uncomfortable all over. If he hadn't been used to seeing the big world in the past few years, and acted like a person with the authority of a superior, Wen Yuan would have caused some embarrassing things.
Even so, Wen Yuan also behaved in an unprecedentedly reserved manner.
After the greetings, Jia Xu said: "I don't know why the general is here in disguise."
"This..." I can't remember how long it has been since I hesitated like this. Wen Yuan's performance today was indeed substandard, and even he was scolding himself in his heart.
"The general must have something unspeakable. In that case, just don't tell him," Jia Xu said very calmly, looking at Wen Yuan with a hint of strangeness that could easily go unnoticed.
Although it was not easy to notice, Wen Yuan still discovered it. After all these years of training, Wen Yuan's observation skills have become extremely sharp. The reason why he hesitated was just because he was afraid of Jia Xu's ambition.
But after seeing Jia Xu's strange look, Wen Yuan's stubbornness couldn't help but come up, "Grandma, isn't he a poisoner? What's the big deal, I'm here today just to recruit you, if you are willing to follow me obediently" Let's go. If you refuse even a little bit, today is the day you die, so as not to be plotted by you secretly in the future. I still don't believe it. With my current skills, I can't cure you.
Wen Yuan bowed his hand and said with emotion: "Liao came here this time to ask Mr. to serve me."
