Jia Xu tightened the big cloak around her body, grumbled something in her mouth, but her eyes were constantly staring at the scroll in her hand, with a casual expression and serious eyes, as if she was suffering from schizophrenia.
Of course, anyone familiar with Qingzhou's chief staff member knows that Mr. Jia looks like this when he is concentrating on his work. As for what he is complaining about, it is hard to say.
Maybe it's because the weather is too cold, maybe the dinner isn't rich enough, or maybe it's something else unrelated, but generally speaking, the issue of workload is Mr. Jia's biggest concern.
Just as he put down one volume of documents and picked up another, a gust of cold wind suddenly blew in, carrying the breath of early winter, as if it penetrated into the bone marrow, causing Jia Xu to shiver.
Jia Xu didn't get angry. It wasn't because he had a good temper, but because it came in with the cold wind, there was also a strong aroma. This smell was very familiar to him, it was ginseng soup.
Although this young master's servant was a bit harsh, treating women like men and men like old scalpers, his thoughtfulness made all the staff feel warm in their hearts.
When the army is out, the supply is naturally not as good as in Qingzhou. Wang Yu and Xu Huang, Taishi Ci's generals drank and ate with the soldiers, and they ate the worst things, but they never lacked supplies for their staff.
There is no need to mention dinner and bed clothes. The ginger soup is served every night. In the morning, there are also exquisite snacks and milk tea - just like spirits, this is a new thing. Jia Xu has lived in Xiliang for half his life and has never had it before.
You know, mixing milk and tea can actually have such an effect.
The bitter taste of the tea is dissolved in the sweetness of the milk, and the fishy smell of the milk is swept away by the freshness of the tea. No wonder the Lord is so sure to launch sea trade with Liaodong. As long as people from Liaodong have tasted this milk tea
How can I not buy a large number of them after that?
Although Jia Xu never took it seriously, such stupid things as a scholar dying for his confidant, these details still gave him a lot of feelings. He was like this, let alone other people?
Tian Feng used a pseudonym when he first arrived, and obviously did not intend to drag his family into it, but this time, he offered to bring his family to Qingzhou, and then resumed his original identity, using his connections in Jizhou to help Wang Yu pacify Hebei.
Added more bricks and mortar.
Thinking of this, Jia Xu was also filled with emotions. Life is like a dream and encounters are unpredictable. Who would have thought that he would follow Dong Zhuo to Luoyang and then transfer to Qingzhou and then Hebei in one breath? Originally, he just wanted to survive in troubled times.
Who would have thought that he would be involved in a series of earth-shattering battles.
It's a difficult time right now, but as soon as this hurdle is passed, the fish will turn into a Kunpeng, and no one can stop the lord's full rise.
For a moment, Jia Xu was a little agitated, and the fatigue caused by the heavy work seemed to be gone.
He pointed to the corner of the long case and said without raising his head: "Put it there."
The long desk was piled with various documents, and only the corners were free.
"Wen He, it's really gratifying that you are so diligent in political affairs." The person who delivered the ginseng soup didn't have any discernment. He put down the soup bowl and left without hesitation. Instead, he sighed. Even with Jia Xu's calmness,
I was startled by this familiar voice.
"Lord? Why are you here? And you are... so frightened, so frightened." Jia Xu looked up and saw that the smiling young man in front of him was not Wang Yu. He quickly struggled to get up, but because he was sitting cross-legged too much,
For a long time, my feet were sore and my legs were numb. I fluttered several times, but I just couldn't stand up.
"I came back from patrolling the camp and saw that the lights here are still on. I stopped by to take a look. It's nothing serious. You don't have to get up. It's too troublesome."
In the Han Dynasty, no one used chairs. When sitting, they knelt down and usually crossed their legs. Wang Yu himself was not used to it. He had been thinking about making a few chairs, but he was too busy and never made time.
Changing customs is also very difficult, so I will put it aside for the time being.
Wang Yu tried to stop him, but Jia Xu finally stood up and saw the gift. It would never happen to this man with the highest emotional intelligence in the Three Kingdoms to be arrogant and get in trouble with his nose.
Even though he usually seems a bit lazy, whether it is between the monarch and his ministers or with his colleagues, he is very measured and can't find any serious faults in Jia Xu.
"Hey, I said you don't need so many etiquettes, forget it." Wang Yu knew that there was nothing he could do to persuade him, so he sighed and sat down by himself.
"The etiquette between monarch and minister cannot be abolished. There is no distinction between superior and inferior. How can there be orders and prohibitions in the army?" After the ceremony, Jia Xu also sat down. He knew that Wang Yu did not like these red tapes, but with the expansion of power and the completion of the shogunate, these
Sooner or later, things have to be put on the table.
Liu Bang also experienced such a change back then. When he raised his troops, he was careless and did not take etiquette seriously. If he is resented by the Lord in the future, it will be hard to recover and it will be too late to regret.
"My lord's visit today...could it be related to Yuan Shao's movements?" Another habit of Wang Yu is to be straightforward and don't like to talk in circles, so Jia Xu also gets straight to the point and gets to the point.
"Yes." Wang Yu nodded, with a look of hatred flashing in his eyes, "Yuan Shao was so crazy that he actually wanted to lure a wolf into his house and gamble with the country of the Han Dynasty and the fate of the Central Plains in order to fight a civil war! So he cut him into pieces with a thousand knives.
It’s hard to erase his heinous sins!”
"..." Jia Xu was stunned upon hearing this.
Wang Yu has always had a good grasp of the balance when competing with others, and has almost never been affected by his own emotions. Even if he had a blood feud with Baima Yicong, which made the battle of Long Zuo a success.
He didn't even talk about justice, but he still had the intention to appreciate and even recruit.
Now, he hates Yuan Shao so deeply, and for such a reason, no wonder... the lord and General Gongsun get along so well.
In fact, the difference between Hu and Han in this era was not as serious as in later generations, because the Hu people were always losers and were all subjects who bowed to the Han.
Yuan Shao was not the first to drive Hu cavalry to fight. During the Zhang Chun Rebellion, the imperial court issued an order to the Huns to go to Jizhou to help in the war. Although the price could not be agreed upon, the Huns once again showed their capricious nature, but from this
It can be seen that the mainstream view in the court is that they do not reject the idea of driving Hu cavalry into battle.
In the frontier fortress, Jia Xu had a deep understanding of this. In the eyes of the important officials of the imperial court, there was not much difference between the Hu people and the Han people. They believed that the former had no brains and the latter were more dangerous.
The Yellow Turban Rebellion epitomized the danger of the latter. As for the barbarians, those uncivilized barbarians were content with robbing property, killing people, and occasionally setting fires or something like that.
The beautiful scenery of the Central Plains, even if you have your eye on it, you won’t be able to usurp it.
Jia Xu does not agree with this view, but he has worked hard to adapt in the past. The so-called high-mindedness and standing out from the crowd are not allowed. If you want to live a long life, you have to live in harmony with the light. Now, since the Lord is not so
Come to think of it, it's not that difficult to turn around.
When Wang Yu's low roar rolled over, Jia Xu asked softly: "So, the plan is about to be implemented?"
"Yeah." Wang Yu nodded.
He has also discussed the concept of dividing Han and Hu with other people, and he also knows what the mainstream view is. In the court and among the scholars, almost no one takes those barbarians and losers in their eyes, even the third assistant
The land was almost lost, but the ministers still looked down at each other with a condescending attitude.
This era pays attention to the celebrity effect. The ministers of the DPRK and Central Government are the leaders among the celebrities, and their attitudes are the mainstream views of the contemporary era. As for what ordinary people think, is that important?
But Wang Yu would never think so. He had read through thousands of years of Chinese history and knew what this view would eventually lead to. If it weren't for the prodigal descendants of the Sima family who recruited Hu soldiers to help, how would there have been the Five Chaos that followed?
Hua, how could it have started multiple barbarian invasions?
Fortunately, now that he is already a hero, he can just express his views without having to take pains to convince others.
His ideas will naturally affect the direction of public opinion within the forces. Sooner or later, the concept of treating Hu as an enemy and being sufficiently wary of Hu Lu will be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The Central Plains will no longer leave any room for barbarians to take advantage of it.
opportunity.
Of course, to achieve this goal, the current battle is a hurdle.
"Wenhe, in your opinion, are the conditions mature?" Wang Yu asked.
"Right now, the jaw opening is relatively stable. There should be no abnormal behavior in the short term. However, the longer time passes, the stronger the uncontrollable factors will become. Although it can be ignored for the time being, it is better to be on the safe side and take precautions."
After the army moved south, it was Jia Xu's responsibility to guard Zhang Jia. Psychological warfare was what he was best at, and psychological warfare also attached great importance to the sustainability of the effect. Half of Jia Xu's hard work in the past few days was spent on
It's up here.
"Liu Dai has grown a lot better than before. He must have been determined to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and wait for Yuan Shao's main force to arrive before sending troops to help. If Yuan Shao is not available, even if our army completely defeats Cao Cao, he will not
Crossing the river."
Jia Xu smiled disdainfully: "Not only did he not plan to cross the river, but he also took the time to build a defense line. The latest intelligence shows that he has built more than 30 beacon towers on the south bank of the river, one every ten miles away, and there are people guarding it day and night.
If there was any sign of trouble, a beacon lighted as a warning. It seemed that Wen Ze's suspected soldiers were frightened."
Wang Yu sneered loudly: "A tough-looking person with such a little courage dares to besiege someone? Beacon tower, if the beacon tower is useful, what else do famous generals do?"
"That's what my lord said."
Jia Xu echoed: "Yanzhou soldiers are elite, but they have rarely experienced battles. Cao Cao's army has been on the battlefield for a long time, but their equipment is not satisfactory. Liu Dai is not a courageous person, but he has many suspicions. He has been reluctant to join forces with Cao Cao and fights alone.
Worry
He is not the opponent of our army, so he can only put up a defensive posture on the river bank. If nothing else, this momentum is weak first. The three armies can seize the commander, but the ordinary man cannot seize the ambition. Liu Dai's move is actually self-destruction.
Tao."
After sighing, Jia Xu changed the topic and asked: "When will the Lord's intention be launched?"
Wang Yu replied without hesitation: "It's better to fight sooner rather than later!" (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
