Chapter 106 Accompanying Jia Xu
At this time, Pan Feng thought of Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe. He has been busy with government affairs for many days, and this first-class counselor who came to him with Zhang Xiu is still idle and waiting for work!
It's okay to say that Zhang Xiu is a general after all. Arrange him casually in the army and give him a deputy general to fight against Zhang Baiqi first. Moreover, Zhang Xiu is also a loyal general in history, but Pan Feng does not have much prejudice. Although Zhang Xiu once defected to Cao Cao and later rebelled against Cao Cao and killed Cao Cao's beloved confidant Dian Wei, even Cao Ang, Cao's eldest son, died in the chaos. But it was because Cao Cao accepted his brother Zhang Ji's wife, that is, his sister-in-law. Zhang Xiu rebelled with shame.
Later, at Cao Cao's most difficult time, that is, on the eve of the Battle of Guandu, at Jia Xu's suggestion, Zhang Xiu surrendered to Cao Cao again. Zhang Xiu was also worried that Cao would be retalised if he surrendered, but Jia Xu said no, and Jia Xu's vision was indeed old-fashioned. After Zhang Xiu's surrender, Cao Cao did not embarras him, but gave Zhang Xiu quite good courtesy. In fact, Jia Xu was also selfish. At that time, he had seen that Cao Cao had the potential to be the hero and might even unify the world, so he surrendered to Cao Cao again and again with Zhang Xiu.
What makes Pan Feng feel happy is that now that Jia Xu can come to himself, he must value his potential. It seems that even if I can't dominate the world in the future, it is more than enough to be called Xichuan Shu, occupy Hanzhong and Xichuan, and be called a king of Hanzhong like Liu Bei.
Jia Xu was summoned by Pan Feng in the inn and quickly arrived. As soon as he arrived at Pan Feng, Jia Xu knelt on one knee and gave the courtesy of his minister. There is no complaint at all because of the days of neglect. Pan Feng can't help but be very satisfied with this attitude of a current affairs man.
"Jia Xu, I will pay a visit to the lord."
"Wenhe, please get up quickly." Pan Feng smiled and stepped forward to hold Jia Xu's arms, which is also respect for him! After helping Jia Xu up, Pan Feng continued to say, "Wenhe, I have been busy during this period and have been a little cold to you. I hope you can forgive me. I'm looking for you today. There is something important. Let's talk as we walk.
As soon as he heard something important, Jia Xu's eyes lit up, and his deep eyes contained this trace of disbelief. He did not intend to ascend to the sky in one step. He intends to gain trust from Pan Feng step by step and rise to power step by step. He didn't expect to get any important tasks at once. He was still muttering in his heart, is this true or a conspiracy?
But soon his doubts were dispelled. Pan Feng sat in the carriage and asked him to lie in the same car. Pan Feng said in the car, "I'm rushing to see Zhang Song, the messenger of Sichuan and Shu. I don't know what purpose he is holding this time. I'll ask you to cover for me for a while. Let's act with the camera."
"The envoy of Sichuan and Shu." Jia Xu said again, and then there was a smile on his face, "Is it really coming? As expected."
"What's really coming? What did Wen He say? Pan Feng was puzzled again and didn't know what Jia Xu was talking about.
"Master, although I have been in the inn, I have not been idle and have been paying attention to the situation in Hanzhong. A few days ago, the master took advantage of Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang's fight to capture Hanzhong. I guess Liu Zhang was unwilling this time and sent Zhang Song to take a piece of meat from the master's mouth. Jia Xu analyzed.
Pan Feng sneered: "Liu Zhang is too whimsic! I want to extract my teeth from the tiger's mouth, but I don't think he has a door. Is Wenhe good? It seems that he has really not been idle recently.
"Thank you for your appreciation, but I don't know whether to say it or not." Jia Xu said hesitantly, as if he was a little embarrassed.
"If you have anything, just say it. I don't have so many rules here." Pan Feng smiled.
"Lord, although Liu Zhang is a sheep, we are tigers..." Jia Xu said that there is nothing more to say here, and some things can be ordered.
"I understand the meaning of Wenhe. Don't you just want to say that we have just experienced a big war and need to rest? I know how many pounds I have, but he can't help me as a little Liu Zhang. Pan Feng seemed to disdain Liu Zhang in Sichuan and Shu.
"Lord, I'm not worried about Liu Zhang, even if we are at war now. Although Liu Zhang can't help it, it's still more than enough to draw. I'm worried about Ma Teng Han Sui in Kansai. If we go to war with Liu Zhang, will they take the opportunity to go south? So in my opinion, it's better not to turn against Liu Zhang. When the time is ripe, we will slowly swallow his big fat meat.
"Actually, I don't plan to turn against Liu Zhang. How can I deal with it later? I still rely on Wen He." Pan Feng smiled.
However, when Jia Xu heard this, he looked embarrassed. He was a little worried and said, "Lord, I'm good at making suggestions, but my defense is still far from it. If the lord wants to rely on me to send away the Sichuan envoys, I'm afraid he has found the wrong person.
Pan Feng didn't care, but laughed.
"Don't worry about Wenhe. Let's practice if we can't argue. In the future, Wenhe has to lead one side when my territory is big. I need to deal with people at all levels. How can I not have a three-inch tongue! Wenhe, don't worry, how can I send away the envoys of Sichuan and Shu later? Anyway, the empty check is free of charge, and you can make any price. Pan Feng is equivalent to opening a big short check for Jia Xu. Anyway, it can't be cashed now, but is it a little expectation for his subordinates?
Jia Xu still felt hot after hearing this. After all, this sounded comfortable, no matter whether it was true or not. He also secretly admired his eyes in his heart. He didn't pick the wrong person, and it was comfortable to follow such a master.
When the two hurried to the reception room of the official office, Zhang Song had been waiting there for a long time. Zhang Song is not good-looking, with a small nose and small eyes and a bowed back. Some are similar to the translators in the modern Anti-Japanese War. The dripping little eyes turn from time to time, and you can always see the taste of old deep-fried dough sticks.
"Don't you think this is Pan Taishou's hospitality? It's better to be famous than to wait for me as a messenger for so long. The words are full of sarcasm, and one person must be able to understand the meaning contained in it.
If ordinary people had heard this, they would have been furious. After listening to this, Jia Xu's face was also very ugly. He didn't expect this pine to be so rude. He was worried that Pan Feng would be furious and kicked Zhang Song out in a hurry. If the messenger was humiliated, it was estimated that Liu Zhang's good temper would also fight in Hanzhong because of his face.
Although Hanzhong is now a strong soldier and horse, plus 5,000 elite cavalry brought by Zhang Xiu, there are more than 12,000 soldiers and horses in Hanzhong now, and their number is basically the same as Zhang Lu's heyday. However, because Zhang Xiu had just defected, Xiliang's soldiers were not satisfied with the water and soil of Hanzhong. In addition, Pan Feng disrupted them and scattered them into various military camps. It will take some time for the soldiers to form a combat strength.
Pan Feng was not angry, at least not angry from the surface. He smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Zhang Song, don't be angry. It's really wrong for me to be late. I've been too busy these days. I'm here to apologize to you. I hope you don't blame me.
This sudden apology made Zhang Song feel like his fist hitting the cotton, and he didn't use any force at all. It's very uncomfortable. You should know that in this era, one monarch has a very good face. Apologizing to subordinates or other people's messengers is simply fantastic. Tian Feng obviously did not expect Pan Feng to do so. I was caught off guard.
Jia Xu didn't expect Pan Feng to be so generous, and he was finally relieved. At least this apology can be regarded as giving Liu Zhang face, and finally he can't fall out.
Since Pan Feng let go, Zhang Song is not too difficult. He thought for a moment and said, "Pan Taishou is in charge of the land of Hanzhong. There are indeed many things. I understand."
"As long as you can understand, sir. Long live your understanding. Is there anything you need Pan to help me on this special trip? Sir, don't be polite. As long as Pan can do it, he will never refuse. Pan Feng smiled and said that it was better for him to say his purpose, so as not to beat him sideways for a while and point it out with sand. Pan Feng is not very suitable for this set.
When Zhang Song saw that Pan Feng was so straightforward and asked himself his purpose directly, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty. He looked around and didn't see Pang Tong's figure, so he was relieved. Last time in Chengdu, Pang Tong's words and Confucians really left a deep impression on him. He, who always thought he was unparalleled in eloquence, was silently refuted by Pang Tong, which has left a shadow in his heart.
"Since Pan Taishou likes to go straight, I will be straightforward and go straight to the point. Before talking about business, I want to ask Pan Taishou a question. If two people do business, one person invests a large amount of capital and makes one person invest a small capital. If they make a profit, how should they divide it?"
"It is not clear that more investment makes more profits. Less investment and less profit, which is a clear problem!" Jia Xu replied for Pan Feng with a smile. He didn't want to be in the limelight, but Pan Feng was a little stunned and did not answer at the first time. At this time, Jia Xu took over.
Pan Feng was thinking about how to send Zhang Song away, so this thinking could not keep up more or less, so he gave Jia Xu such an opportunity.
"Who is this?" Zhang Song looked at the strange face in front of him and was a little confused. Before going to Hanzhong, he had seen the portraits of the high-level Hanzhong and still knew more or less about some powerful figures in Hanzhong. The person in front of me is too strange.
"In Jia Xu, the text and. He is a counselor under the new Pan Taishou. Jia Xu's tone was plain, and he could not hear emotional fluctuations at all.
"It turned out that it was newly invested under Pan Taishou. No wonder I haven't heard of it before. Mr. Wenhe also said that this business is a big profit. I'm afraid the rules of this battlefield are also like this! It's a gentleman's style for Pan Taishou to do this!"
