Chapter 215 Jia Xu's submission

Just as Jia Xu boarded the carriage, a young man dressed as a little boy at the door of the post station hurriedly ran to the station and soon came outside a courtyard.

This courtyard is the residence of Xun Wenruo, Cao Cao's messenger.

The young man pushed the door and entered and happened to see Xun Wenruo sitting quietly in the courtyard. He hurried forward and saluted, "I've seen you, sir."

"Well, let's talk about something." If Xun Wen didn't mean to look up, he still looked down at the bamboo slips in his hand.

"Sir, just now Liu Qi sent someone to pick up Jia Wenhe." The young man bowed.

"Oh, Liu Qi's action is fast." Xun Wenruo was slightly surprised, and then stopped looking down at Zhu Jian.

Seeing that Xun Wen was like this, the young man bowed and saluted and retreated silently.

"Can you inform Fan Cheng and Shangyong Ercheng about Wancheng?" Just as the young man was about to walk out of the courtyard, Xun Wenruo suddenly asked.

"I have sent someone to inform you." The young man hurriedly turned around and bowed.

"Well, go and prepare immediately. Then we will leave Xiangyang and rush to Fancheng." Xun Wenruo's voice was extremely calm and there was no emotion.

"No." The young man saluted and left quickly.

After the young man left, Xun Wenruo put down the bamboo slip in his hand and looked at the door and sighed. Wancheng returned to the control of Liu Biao, which had the greatest impact on Cao Cao's power. From now on, there will be no obstruction between Liu Biao and Cao Cao. A little carelessness is a big war, and the current situation is obviously unfavorable to Cao Cao.

Yuan Shao in the north stared at him, and Cao Cao had to do his best to deal with it. Now there is a Liu Biao with unknown intention behind him, which is not a good thing for Cao Cao.

Now Liu Biao regains control of Wancheng and Cao Cao's forces. Cao Cao has to defend himself, and the best way is to control Wancheng in his own hands. He ordered people to inform Fancheng and Shangyong Ercheng, hoping that the defenders of Shangyong and Fancheng will find an opportunity to take back Wancheng. However, although Pang Tong's name has not heard of it, but It is definitely extraordinary to be able to quietly take back Wancheng and capture Zhang Xiu, and there is also Gan Xingba, who has become famous. Just in case, he had to rush to Fancheng immediately to help.

Wancheng Zhangxiu was originally a person who knew current affairs. The reason why he defected last time was that Cao Cao forcibly accepted his aunt, and on the other hand, it was to protect himself. As long as he sent people to Wancheng to state his interests with Zhang Xiu, coupled with Jia Xu's persuasion, he would definitely succeed. He didn't expect to beat Liu Biao so quickly.

No one expected that Liu Biao, who had always been the best, would send troops to take back Wancheng. When the notice was issued, he ordered people to inquire. He knew that before the notice was issued, Liu Qi had been to Liu Biao's house, and the people above the notice were under the command of Liu Qi. He already knew that it was probably done by Liu Qi.

I figured this out, but it made him a headache. According to Liu Qi's performance these days, Liu Qi is not an easy-to-get person, and unlike Liu Biao, this person is sharp and tough. It is difficult to say that he will intervene during the war between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.

"Sir is ready." In just a quarter of an hour, the young man just came back here and bowed.

"Hmm." Xun Wenruo nodded and put down the bamboo slips, got up and walked out.

"You stay and report to Xu Du immediately if something happens in Xiangyang." Xun Wenruo suddenly turned around and looked at the young man behind him.

"No." The young man was stunned and then responded.

"If there is anything difficult, go to Cai Mao. He will help you." After saying that, Xun Wenruo ignored the shocked expression of the young man and quickly left.

.....................................................................................

The carriage slowly stopped, and Jia Xu opened the curtain and bowed his head and came out.

"Sir, please." The soldier bowed.

"Well, lead the way ahead." Jia Xu was not polite and ordered directly.

Then, Jia Xu walked into Liu Qi's house under the leadership of the soldiers. Counting the last wedding, Jia Xu came to Liu Qi's house for the second time. Compared with the last time, the current mansion looks a little deserted, but it is also because of this that it looks a little solemn and simple.

"Sir, please come in. The lord is waiting in the study." The soldier led Jia Xu, ignored the curious eyes along the way, and went straight out of the study.

Jia Xu nodded and walked in. He was still a little curious about what Liu Qi said, and this was Xiangyang City. Even if Liu Qi didn't come, there were dozens of ways to invite him.

"Mr. Wenhe, please." As soon as Jia Xu entered the study, he saw Liu Qi sitting at the table and reaching out to invite Jia Xu to sit down. There were more than a dozen exquisite dishes on the table, and a jar of wine that was smelling strong wine.

Jia Xu knew that this wine was the wine of Jufulou. Jufulou is so famous that he will naturally not miss it when he comes to Xiangyang. Seeing Liu Qi's invitation, Jia Xu did not refuse to sit opposite Liu Qi.

Drinking and chatting should have been in the garden or in the hall, but neither of them felt it was inappropriate at this time.

The two sat opposite each other and drank by themselves, and did not mean to say hello to each other at all. It was not until a few glasses of wine that the two looked up and looked at each other.

"You must have known the purpose of inviting me to come here this time." Liu Qi smiled and said.

"Let's not talk about this in advance. What I want to know is where your sentence comes from and what it means." Jia Xu waved his hand and asked directly.

"That's what I heard from a hermit. He told me that as a counselor, I should seek myself, others, soldiers, the country and the world." Liu Qi said leisurely while drinking.

"Oh, this sentence is indeed a famous saying. As a counselor, you can do so, you can be regarded as a successful counselor." Jia Xu laughed.

"Yes, this sentence is right, but there are few people who can do it, but I don't know if you are one of them." Liu Qi looked up at Jia Xu and said.

"Oh, it seems that if I don't agree today, the eldest son won't let me go." Jia Xu restrained his smile and asked in a low voice.

"Yes, only if you agree today can you leave, otherwise I'm afraid you won't leave Xiangyang in your life." Liu Qi did not hide the truth.

"Ha ha." Jia Xu smiled and said nothing. He knew that although Liu Qi said it was easy, once he refused, he would put himself under house arrest without hesitation.

Liu Qi did not say anything, but drank by himself while waiting for Jia Xu's decision. He did not open his mouth to persuade Jia Xu, because he knew that these were all in vain. The current situation was clear in his heart that he would not change his decision because of his few words.

Unlike Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, Zhuge Liang has the ideal of restoring the Han Dynasty. For this ideal, Zhuge Liang can take care of nothing, or even his own life. From Zhuge Liang's six out of Qishan, he finally died of illness in Wuzhangyuan. Zhuge Liang has an ideal, and he will With this ideal, he works hard and strives. He is obsessed with his ideals.

And Pang Tong also has his own ideal. His ideal is to use his talents on the battlefield. Therefore, whoever gives him this opportunity will work for him. It is a portrayal of the death of a confidant.

But Jia Xu is different. Jia Xu has no ideal in his heart. What he does in his life is to do his best to be a counselor, a qualified and successful counselor, so he will not stubbornly insist for his ideals. Because of this, Liu Qi will not talk nonsense with Jia Xu. What he needs to do is to speak his heart. It is thought that if this decision-making power is handed over to Jia Xu, Jia Xu will naturally make the most reasonable decision according to the current situation.

If Jia Xu is unwilling to work for himself, even if he kills him, he will not change his mind, because he will definitely be scrupulous about killing him. However, it seems that there is nothing like this for Jia Xu now.

Since Jia Xu became an official, he has successively assisted Li Zui and Zhang Xiu. In history, Jia Xu will also assist Cao Cao. Li urged the destruction, Jia Xu assisted Zhang Xiu, Zhang Xiu surrendered, Jia Xu assisted Cao Cao, and Jia Xu was thinking about other things under the premise of protecting himself at every step, which is the key to Jia Xu's ability to stand.

Liu Qi didn't speak, and Jia Xu didn't say anything. Although Jia Xu was calm on the surface at this time, he was hesitating in his heart. What he wanted was to surrender Cao Cao with Zhang Xiu. He thought that Cao Cao was the most likely person to win the world. Although Liu Qi's performance surprised him, he did not change his opinion because of this.

But at this time, he was in Xiangyang, and in Liu Qi's house, his own life and death were in the hands of Liu Qi. He had to agree to Liu Qi's conditions, and he did not disdain to do so by falsely agreeing to Liu Qi.

"Dare to ask where the eldest prince Xuanwei is at this time?" Jia Xu thought of Zhang Xiu. Zhang Xiu treated him well. Even if he worked for Liu Qi, he could not ignore Zhang Xiu.

"Don't worry, sir. This is Xuan Weihou's handwriting." Liu Qi said and handed a cloth scarf at the table to Jia Xu.

Jia Xu took the cloth towel and opened it. The handwriting on the cloth towel was indeed Zhang Xiu's self. From the brocade cloth, he knew that Zhang Xiu was not in any danger at this time, and he also persuaded himself to work for Liu Qi.

After reading the content on the brocade carefully, Jia Xu was relieved. Zhang Xiu did not write this letter under coercion, but voluntarily.

Put away the brocade cloth and Jia Xu looked at Liu Qi. He had already made a decision in his heart. At worst, he would go to others after Liu Qi's death. Zhang Xiu got up and left the table, bowed and said, "See the master."

"Okay, Wenhe, please get up." Although he knew that Jia Xu was not sincere, Liu Qi was still very happy. He was sure to let Jia Xu work for himself willingly.

"Ha ha, Xuan Weihou will be able to get to Xiangyang in the next two days. At that time, he still needs Wen He to appease his father." Liu Qi asked Jia Xu to sit down.

"I would like to worry about the Lord." Jia Xu did not refuse. Since he turned to Liu Qi, he should do what he should do. As for whether Liu Qi adopts it or not, that is Liu Qi's business. This is Jia Xu's plan.
