"In the third year of the reign of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, Situ Wang Yun, his uncle Dong Cheng, Sikong Cai Yong and other important officials of the empire gathered in Yingchuan, raised the imperial flag, and issued an edict from the emperor to all the princes in the world, ordering the princes from all over the world to rush to King Qin of Yingchuan to meet the Han Dynasty.
His Majesty the Imperial Emperor, the Emperor of Han, who had disappeared for more than a year after the war in Chang'an, finally reappeared. All the princes in the world were shocked when they heard about it and behaved in different ways."
"Hebei Yuan Shao refused to obey the imperial edict and ignored the emperor's orders. Cao Cao of Yanzhou, Runan, Yuan Shu, Jingzhou, Liu Biao, Xuzhou, Lu Bu, Hanzhong, Qin Yang, were ordered to send troops to Yanzhou. Cao Cao took advantage of the terrain and took the lead to arrive at Yingchuan to meet the emperor. He issued another imperial edict to all the Qin kings according to the emperor's order.
The princes retreated and all the princes had no choice but to return in defeat."
"Only Runan Yuan Shu didn't want to see Cao Cao's power, so he set up an ambush outside Yingchuan with the intention of seizing the emperor. Cao Cao's army was in chaos when he rushed to attack. Situ Wang Yun and Sikong Cai Yong died in the chaos. Cao Cao was furious, so he
Xuchang mobilized reinforcements to fight to the death with Yuan Shu. In the end, he even used his royal spirit to frighten the enemy. Yuan Shu returned in hatred and sent a message to the world, claiming that Cao Cao was holding the emperor hostage to order the princes. The soldiers and civilians in Runan were at odds with Cao's thieves. After Cao Cao got the emperor, he decided
The imperial capital of the Han Dynasty was located in Xuchang, which was called Xudu and was renamed Yuan Jian'an. He issued orders from the emperor and commanded the princes of the world." - "The Biography of the Three Kingdoms"
Hanzhong City, the residence of Prince Huangjin Ming
Qin Yang looked at the imperial edict in front of him, snorted coldly and said: "Cao Cao is so treacherous. He actually sent me the edict of the Marquis of Hanzhong. What does this mean? Let me keep Hanzhong forever? Is Hanzhong like this?
Do I still need him to seal this piece of land?"
Xi Zhicai smiled and said: "This guy is clearly killing two birds with one stone. If Your Highness accepts this edict, it will be acknowledging the status of the emperor and Cao Cao's right to issue the emperor's orders. If you don't accept it, it will be disobedience and disrespect."
Be enemies with the Han Empire and its princes. As for the latter, at least the princes in the world don't have the courage yet... Who made Cao Cao not only successfully serve the emperor, but also possess the aura of a king?"
Qin Yang curled his lips and said: "It's a pity that this guy ran fast when we were in Luoyang. At that time, I already guessed that he should have a king's energy. It's just that Yuan Shao came to cause trouble at that time, and Cao Cao was slippery than a loach... Forget it.
, I accepted this edict, but what should I do next? I don’t want to see Cao Cao so arrogant."
Guo Jia smiled slightly and said: "If Your Highness doesn't want Cao Cao to have a hard time, I have a plan..."
Qin Yang's eyes lit up and he said, "Tell me about it."
Guo Jia said: "Because of the matter of serving the emperor, Yuan Shu and Cao Cao met with each other. Although Cao Cao won the battle in the end, Yuan Shu still had hundreds of thousands of troops with his foundation intact. He and Cao Cao were bound to become enemies. It can be expected that the two of them would
There must be a war between people.”
"Then you mean to ask Yuan Shu to send troops to attack Cao Cao's Yanzhou? I'm afraid this is not easy. Even if they are really stupid enough to openly defy the emperor's order to send troops to attack Cao Cao, they have always had a rift with our army, so how can they listen?
What about our words?" Qin Yang hesitated.
"This is not difficult. As long as we, the Yellow Turban Army, don't come forward and find an eloquent wise man to come out and lobby, it will be fine," Guo Jia said with a smile.
"So, you should have already picked someone, right? Tell me who it is, and don't try to sell it to me."
Guo Jia chuckled, looked at Xi Zhi with a meaningful look and said: "Your Highness, you have met this person before, but when it comes to relationships, I'm afraid no one knows him better than Military Advisor Xi..."
"I've seen it too?" Qin Yang's heart moved, he looked at Guo Jia and then Xi Zhicai with suspicion, and murmured: "I said, do you want to recommend someone to me, but don't want to
To be honest? Am I, Qin Yang, the kind of person who is jealous of talents? Tell me, who is this person?"
Xi Zhicai said: "To be fair to Your Highness, if I were to recommend someone else, I would naturally not be like this. But this person has repeatedly opposed His Highness. If His Highness had not had the strength he has now before he started the army, I would naturally have directly recommended him to you."
His Highness recommended it, but now that His Highness is sitting in Hanzhong, Xiliang, controlling Luoyang and Chang'an, the two capitals are in Guanzhong, if I recommend it again at this moment, I am afraid that Your Highness..."
"Oh shit, are you an old drunkard trying to provoke me? Don't say that I, Qin Yang, am just a prince now. Even if I really achieve hegemony, I won't be as nonchalant as you think. Come on, tell me!
"Qin Yang smiled and punched Xi Zhicai, but his heart became more and more itchy.
Xi Zhicai laughed and said slowly: "Your Highness, don't blame me, I just put the ugly words first. This person is the initiator who destroyed the food and fodder of Your Highness's army in Xiangcheng. He was the one who made plans for Bo Cai and other rebels to besiege Your Highness in Hanzhong."
that……"
"Are you talking about Jia Xu?!" Qin Yang's eyes lit up and he jumped up. He had already wanted to win over Jia Xu. Not to mention that Jia Xu had caused him a few "little troubles".
Jia Xu would not change his original intention even if Qin Yang was his enemy in person. He was a legendary figure known as the "No. 1 Poison Master of the Three Kingdoms"
Xi Zhicai nodded and said: "Yes, it is Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe. In my opinion, if we are to persuade Yuan Shu to meet with Cao Cao and make our Yellow Turban Army break through the current bottleneck, it must be this person."
Do you remember what happened when I first arrived in Hanzhong?"
Qin Yang nodded happily and said: "Of course I remember. I remember that you entrusted Jia Xu to help me persuade Zhang Xiu and Liu Biao to stop the 450,000 troops of the three princes. But since then, you have not mentioned a word about Jia Xu.
Even when I asked you, you didn’t say anything.”
Xi Zhicai said: "That's because this guy had some unfinished business at that time and could not seek refuge with anyone. Now I heard that he is fine, so I took the initiative to recommend him to His Highness..."
Xi Zhicai pondered for a moment and said meaningfully: "Your Highness, although I recommend Jia Xu to Your Highness, as for whether he will actually serve Your Highness, I'm afraid I can't control it."
Qin Yang's heart moved and he smiled: "What do you mean by this? Do you think I am really the kind of villain with rat belly and chicken intestines?"
"That's not true. I have always known that whenever His Highness meets a talented person, he will sincerely recruit him regardless of whether he is an enemy or not. But this is not the case with Jia Xu. He is cautious, especially when it comes to choosing a master. If
If His Highness is really serious, I’m afraid you’ll have to go and invite him yourself.”
Qin Yang smiled and said: "What's so difficult about this? I, Qin Yang, am not a eldest daughter. Where is he who doesn't leave the door and doesn't take two steps? Just lead the way and I'll invite him. If he doesn't come once, I'll invite him twice.
times, if he doesn’t come twice, I will invite him three times. Anyway, I will definitely invite him.”
Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia looked at each other, then smiled and said: "If His Highness can really do this, Jia Xu will definitely be able to join me under the Yellow Turban banner, and serving His Highness is where he is now..."
Qin Yang stopped talking when he saw Xi Zhicai, and couldn't help but said anxiously: "Why don't you tell me that Ai is far away? It doesn't matter, it's just a matter of traveling for a few more days."
Xi Zhicai shook his head and said: "It's not far, but it's also very close to our Hanzhong... Jia Xu is currently living in Wancheng..."
"Wancheng?!" Qin Yang's eyes twitched. Wancheng is Zhang Xiu's territory, and now Zhang Xiu has surrendered to Cao Cao. Although he has a good relationship with Cao Cao on the surface, his relationship with Zhang Xiu is not that good. Cao Cao definitely doesn't.
He would be angry because Zhang Xiu offered him his own head. On the contrary, this might be something Cao Cao would laugh out of in his dreams, right?!
"Well, he is in Wancheng now and is a guest at Zhang Xiu's city lord's palace. According to my estimation, Zhang Xiu's decision to seek refuge with Cao Cao was probably his idea..." Xi Zhicai nodded seriously and said
"In Zhang Xiu's house...he asked Zhang Xiu to defect to Cao Cao?!" Qin Yang muttered to himself a little absentmindedly. If this is the case, if he goes to invite Jia Xu himself, wouldn't it mean delivering food to his door?
Xi Zhicai didn't seem to see Qin Yang's expression, so he continued: "That's all I know. I wonder when His Highness will leave? I'm afraid Guo Jia and I won't be able to accompany His Highness to Wancheng.
After all, Wancheng is Cao Cao's territory, I advise His Highness to bring fewer people..."
"Wait!" Qin Yang said hurriedly: "When did I say I was going?! Are you...are you trying to trick me?"
Seeing Qin Yang's unkind expression, Guo Jia smiled and said: "Your Highness, don't get me wrong, everything we said is true. If we want to accomplish this, it is none other than Jia Xu who should be invited, and His Highness must go there in person."
Isn’t there such a famous saying? If you can’t let go of your children...what’s that?”
Qin Yang said with a sad face: "I can't bear to let my child go, I just want to throw myself into the wolf's den..."
