Chapter 172 "Poisoner"2
In 200 AD (the fifth year of Jian'an), Cao Cao and Yuan Shao fought in Guandu.
Cao's military grain was exhausted. Cao Cao asked Jia Xu. Jia Xu said, "You are better than Yuan Shao in four aspects of shrewdness, bravery, employment and determination. The reason why you can't win for half a year is that you want to take care of everything and seize the opportunity to win quickly."
Cao Cao was good, and later seized the opportunity to attack Wuchao and defeated Yuan Shao in one fell swoop. After Hebei was pacified, Cao Cao led the herdsman of Jizhou and appointed Jia Xu as a doctor of Taizhong.
In 208 (the 13th year of Jian'an), Cao Cao occupied Jingzhou and wanted to take the opportunity to go east of the river.
Jia Xu dissuaded and said that he should appease the people and wait for the opportunity. Cao Cao refused. As a result, he was defeated in the Battle of Red Cliff.
In 211 A.D. (16th year of Jian'an), ten coalition forces led by Han Sui and Ma Chao gathered more than 100,000 horses to guard Tongguan to fight against Cao (see the Battle of Weinan).
After Ma Chao suffered setbacks, he proposed a proposal and conditions to draw the river as a boundary, which was rejected by Cao Cao.
Ma Chao came to challenge many times, but Cao Cao couldn't hold on, which made Ma Chao unable to win quickly.
In September, he once again made a request to delimit the land and send his son as a hostage. Jia Xu thought that he could pretend to agree on the surface, paralyze the other party, and actually actively prepare for the opportunity to annihilate the enemy.
Cao Cao asked Jia Xu how to break the enemy, and Jia Xu said, "Are they separated."
Cao Cao adopted his scheme and wrote a book to alienate Ma Chao and Han Sui, making them civil strife.
Cao Cao took the initiative to attack the Guanzhong army and returned with a great victory.
In 217 A.D. (22 Jian'an), Cao Cao did not establish a prince, Cao Pi was a general, and Cao Zhi, the Marquis of Linqi, was famous. Cao Pi sent people to ask Jia Xu. Jia Xu said, "I hope that the general will cultivate his morality, study diligently, work hard day and night, and not violate the morality of being a son. That's enough."
Cao Pi listened to his advice and deliberately hone himself.
Later, Cao Cao privately asked Jia Xu what he thought about his heir. Jia Xu closed his mouth and did not answer. Cao Cao asked him why he didn't answer. Jia Cao said, "I'm thinking about Yuan Shao and Liu Biao."
Cao Cao laughed and appointed Cao Pi as the crown prince that year.
Jia Xu thought that he was not Cao's old minister, but he had a deep strategy, so he was afraid that Cao Cao would guess, so he adopted a self-preservation strategy, closed the door and did not associate with others in private. His children did not marry and marry powerful. At that time, the world respected him very much when talking about wise men.
In 220 (the first year of Huang Chu), Cao Pi ascended the throne. In order to repay Jia Xu's kindness, he appointed Jia Xu as a lieutenant and became the Marquis of Wei Shou Township, increasing the food town by 300, with a total of 800 households.
He also divided the food city into 200, and appointed his young son Jia to visit as a marquis. The eldest son, Jia Mu, is the emperor's son-in-law.
In March 223 (the fourth year of Huang Chu), Cao Pi made his first expedition to Eastern Wu and ended in failure.
At the beginning, Cao Pi asked Jia Xu, "I want to unify the world. Which one should Wu or Shu fight first?"
Jia Xujian died on Jia Shen Day in June of the same year. At the age of 77, he was the Marquis of Su, and his eldest son Jia Mu succeeded him.
The proposal should govern the country well before use force. Cao Pi didn't listen, but it was useless.
Many years later, Jia Xu and Wang Lang, Cao Zhen and Xin Pi enjoyed the Wei Wendi Temple.
Chen Shou layer commented: "Xun You and Jia Xu are full of strategies. After the change of power, they are good and flat!"
Yi Zhongtian also said: "Jia Xu can judge the situation in troubled times. He has lived for the longest time and saved his family. This is the real wisdom. Jia Xu may be the smartest person in the Three Kingdoms period.
Jia Xu is also one of Li Zhong's favorite advisers. Although he has defected to many princes, he has never taken the initiative to betray anyone.
Maybe he has been living in a remote place in Xiliang all year round, which makes Jia Xu naturally have a strong atmosphere, and his character, who often deals with Hu people, is also quite resolute.
Li Zhong resisted the pain and said happily, "I don't know what's wrong with you?"
"It's the general's life," Jia Xu's words are not amazing, and he still looks insipid.
Several generals around Li Zhong looked at Jia Xu gritting their teeth and couldn't wait to devour him alive.
Li Zhong wondered, "I don't know what you mean?"
"Hahahaha", Jia Xu suddenly laughed and looked at Li Zhong in a mysterious way. Li Zhong's heart thumped, "General, don't say that the officer is true."
"Although Jia Xu lives in Xiliang all year round, I have heard a lot about generals," Li Zhong smiled awkwardly.
"I don't know if Mr. is an enemy or a friend?" Li Zhong looked at Jia Xu and asked.
Jia Xu looked at Li Zhong and said, "If Jia wants to harm the general, how can he say such words in front of the general? Isn't this a way to die?"
Li Zhong was overjoyed and quickly asked, "Then the gentleman is coming to me." The little heart beat and looked at Jia Xu expectantly.
"It's not, it's not," Jia Xu shook his head.
"Is this Mr.?" Li Zhong was a little puzzled.
Jia Xu didn't say anything, but turned his head to look at Ju Shu, Zhao Yun and other literary generals, and the meaning in his eyes was self-evident.
"Sir, I have something to say directly. They are all my right-hand men and don't need to hide anything from them," Li Zhong said lightly.
Everyone was moved to look at Li Zhong and looked very angry at Jia Xu's meaning.
Jia Xu looked at Li Zhong admiringly and said, "Do you dare to ask the general how many soldiers he has?"
Li Zhong pondered for a moment and said, "300,000". Li Zhong vaguely seemed to have caught something, but he did not hide it and told it truthfully.
"I don't know what the general thinks of this world", "the building will fall.
"I don't know how big the general's heart is." To put it bluntly, he asked Li Zhong's ambition, but others have known it for a long time, so there is nothing surprising.
"Huge the world in your arms and step on the world under your feet," Li Zhong looked at Jia Xu's eyes and said with a straight face.
Jia Xu was stunned and made a move that surprised everyone.
He knelt down to Li Zhong and hugged his fist and said, "Jia Xu worshipped the lord. He is willing to help the lord and hope that the lord will take him in."
Card wipe!!!
Everyone only felt that their chins had fallen off, and even Ju Shu Tian Yu were a little confused. They didn't know that Jia Xu was singing again.
Li Zhong breathed a sigh of relief and secretly said that it was dangerous. It turned out that Jia Xu was testing him. As the saying goes, good birds choose trees to live, and virtuous ministers choose masters. Not only do you mainly choose the right ministers, but also choose the monarch in your mind.
Li Zhong slowly stayed with great perseverance and came to Jia Xu to help him up. He looked at his eyes and sincerely said, "My husband is like King Wen got Jiang Shangye." Who is King Wen? He is the founder of the Zhou Dynasty. To put it bluntly, drinking the emperor is no different, which also indirectly shows Li Zhong's mind.
Jia Xu was even more moved to cry. Since he was a child, only Yan Zhong looked up to him, saying that he had Zhang Liang and Chen Ping's talent. Now he has Li Zhong's praise. Jia Xu secretly vowed to help Li Zhong achieve his career.
"Thank you, Lord," Jia Xu sobbed.
Li Zhong patted Jia Xu on the shoulder and said, "Sir, you don't have to be modest. This is my heartfelt words." Jia Xu nodded movedly.
Seeing this, everyone slowly reacted. Han Dang and other generals were a little unconvinced by Li Zhong's praise, but they did not dare to say it in front of Li Zhong, but secretly curled their mouths in their hearts.
However, Ju Shu Tian Yu and the two knew Li Zhong's ability to know people, and they couldn't help looking at the man in front of them.
"This is my military division Ju Shu Ju Gong and Tian Yu Tian Guo Rang," Li Zhong introduced to Jia Xu.
Jia Xu hugged the two, and they also returned a salute.
"These are my generals, Zhao Yun, Han Dang, Xu Rong, Liao Hua, Zhou Cang, Zhu Ling, "I have met several generals, please forgive me for the past," Jia Xu said sincerely.
Several people nodded, only Han Dang and Zhou Cang curled their lips, looking a little disdainful.
Jia Xu smiled carelessly at this, and Li Zhong shook his head helplessly with a wry smile.
"I don't know how Mr. did this messenger," Li Zhong looked at Jia Xu and asked, and everyone also looked at him with a little curiosity.
Jia Xu touched his beard and said, "My lord, Xu was originally a staff member under Liu Yu, but he felt that this person was the dog guarding the house. He also heard rumors that the lord broke Wuwan. Goguryeo gave birth to the heart of serving the lord, so Xu resigned from Liu Yu and came to Luoyang alone, but he suffered from lack of opportunity. Yes, he had to ask for a civil official with Xu's three-inch tongue." At this point, Jia Xu's mouth was full of bitterness, full of talent but no one appreciated it. Only he knew the loneliness.
I'm sweating. Where are the people today? Not even a recommendation ticket!
