"Who in the land of Jingxiang doesn't know Mr. Shui Jing? I have admired him for a long time and came here specially to visit him. I hope you will forgive me for any rudeness."
Seeing that Jia Rong's answer was quite satisfactory, Shui Jing's expression returned to normal, "That's it, please come in."
Although Shui Jing's reputation in Jingxiang was very high, he was not so arrogant that he went against the people in the army. The person in front of him might have something to do with Liu Biao, so it would not be a good idea to offend him.
Wang Yue, Sun Ce, Liu Si, and Zhao Yun were left outside the door. Jia Rong followed Shui Jing and others in alone. Jia Rong was reassured by the world-famous Mr. Shui Jing. Even if his identity was leaked, there would be no one in the villa.
Worry for life.
After the guests and hosts were seated, Shui Jing began to discuss academic issues with the scholars he had met before. One of them was the most eye-catching. His words were often refreshing and attracted Jia Rong's attention.
From this person's words and deeds, Jia Rong felt that it was not the graceful temperament of a Confucian scholar, but an edge, just like the killing spirit on the battlefield. Zhang Zhao and Zhang Li were rare internal affairs talents. This person did not have that kind of temperament.
But there was something more attractive to Jia Rong.
"I wonder what this general thinks of the current situation in the world?" Shui Jing turned his gaze to Jia Rong and asked.
Jia Rong, who was a little drowsy after hearing this, suddenly woke up, straightened his thoughts and said: "Please let Mr. Shui Jing make it clear that this junior is stupid." You must remain humble in front of these pretentious Confucian scholars. Jia Rong deeply understands their mouths.
How awesome.
"General, it's okay to say so." Shui Jing said gently.
"Today, the most serious disaster is the Yellow Turban Rebellion, which caused countless Li people to lose their homes. Many people who had nowhere to go turned into bandits and robbed passing merchants and pedestrians. The Qiang people and Xianbei's disaster has been brought to an extreme.
The great containment is attributed to the general Jia Rong and the governor of Hanyang Han Sui. After the alliance and the crusade, the princes of the world fell apart. They did not want to serve the country and embezzled each other. The people were once again plunged into war. It can be said that 'the people are in dire straits.'
"
Mr. Shui Jing nodded slightly, but his brows furrowed slightly. Jia Rong's analysis was logical, but when it came to the common people, they ignored the dignity of the royal family during the war. There was a typical representative in the court.
General Jia Rong, and this person placed the credit for quelling the Qiang rebellion on Jia Rong and Han Sui, which somewhat made the scholars present feel a little uncomfortable.
Although Shui Jing had never met the general, his deeds were widely circulated in Jingzhou. He held the Han emperor hostage and moved the capital to Chang'an, which was a treasonous act in the eyes of any minister. All kinds of bullying of the emperor and occupying the imperial court were simply unreasonable.
There are too many to write about. Unfortunately, some Confucian scholars continued to excuse Jia Rong, and some even went to Chang'an to seek refuge. Shui Jing really couldn't figure out where these Confucian scholars had forgotten what they learned.
"Troubled times are coming. You Confucian scholars should think about how to reimburse the country and let the people live a prosperous life. Only when the people are strong can a country be called rich and powerful." Jia Rong's tone unknowingly regarded these Confucian students as their education
object.
"This general is wrong. The royal family is the foundation of the country. Only supporting the royal family is the right way. The Han Dynasty has been in the country for four hundred years, and the people of our Han Dynasty are also proud to be Han people. Figures like the general should
Think about fighting on the battlefield and making achievements in order to revitalize the Han Dynasty in the future, instead of talking about it here." A Confucian scholar said in a clear and logical manner.
"General, can you tell me your views on Jia Rong?" Shui Jing interrupted the Confucian scholar's question.
Jia Rong cupped his hands and said, "Sir, just call me Ronggu."
The Confucian scholar did not complain at all about Shui Jing interrupting him, but he looked at Jia Rong with a somewhat unkind look. He was an out-and-out royalist and could not bear to see the dignity of the royal family being violated in any way.
Confucian scholars held the same opinion. Dong Zhuo's bloody cruelty made their loyalty known to the world.
"General Jia Rong, whose achievements are enough to be remembered for centuries, defeated the Yellow Turbans with a weak force, and killed all the Yellow Turbans who fled. As a result, with the death of Zhang Jiao, the Yellow Turban Rebellion subsided; he rushed to the battlefield with hundreds of cavalry, many times
Defeated the Qiang cavalry and returned with a great victory; with a weak force of thousands of people, they defended Pingxiang City under Han Sui's 100,000-strong army, and recovered Jincheng with a single blow; recently, they used 30,000 people to resist the 140,000-strong Xianbei army.
The army captured Xianbei general Murong Feng and saved the people on the border from the flames of war; these achievements are among the best in the past dynasties and are a model among military generals." Jia Rong truthfully told his achievements.
The Confucian scholars in the room were whispering to each other. Jia Rong's achievements were enough to make him proud of the big man. Especially the battles he won with weak troops were shocking to hear. Especially recently, Jia Rong defeated the Xianbei army with 30,000 troops.
Forty thousand troops made him famous, but such people still cannot attract these Confucian scholars, otherwise they would not have the leisure to discuss the general trend of the world here. Although Jia Rong has many achievements, bullying the royal family is enough to erase all of his achievements.
of military exploits.
"Has General Rong ever known that Jia Rong controlled the imperial court, bullied the royal family, and destroyed the dignity of the Han Dynasty? Such rebellious officials, despite their unparalleled achievements, are no different from animals?" A Confucian scholar said in a harsh tone.
Jia Rong didn't look into it too carefully. He smiled slightly and said that everyone has different opinions on one thing, but his own achievements cannot be erased. The Xiliang Army's kindness to the people has won the hearts of countless people. Since ancient times,
In a world where those who win the hearts of the people, a weak royal family can only bring disaster to the people, and what the people need is strong protection. This is one of the reasons why there are more and more people in Chang'an.
"I think the general's words are quite biased in favor of Jia Rong. Could it be that the general has an old relationship with Jia Rong of Chang'an?" Shui Jing asked.
Jia Rong laughed loudly and said: "A small person like me would be lucky to be favored by a general. As a military general, you should think about how to drive away foreign enemies and let the people live a stable life."
There was an unhappy look between Shui Jing's brows. Although the man in front of him could be called a good general, he yearned for Jia Rong. Given time, he would definitely go to Chang'an to seek refuge with Jia Rong.
There are many aristocratic families in Jingzhou. Even if Jia Rong comes to the city, the aristocratic families in the city will not join him. His set of governance measures have greatly suppressed the development of the aristocratic families. When the people have the same status as them, how can they talk about being superior to others?
Among the Confucian scholars, the majority were children of aristocratic families, and they all criticized Jia Rong.
Only Guo Jia and Cheng Yu looked at Jia Rong with a hint of solemnity. Cheng Yu, as Mr. Shui Jing said, was a man of great talent. He was not only good at strategy, but also good at governing the country. He advocated ruling the country according to law and was quite like Shang Yang in those days.
, it was quite stated in Yingchuan College that Liu Biao had originally recruited him, but was rejected by him. There was something faintly attracted to Jia Rong, which made Cheng Yu have the urge to go forward and find out.
After admiring the scenery of Shuijing Manor, Jia Rong and Guo Jiacheng Yu had a conversation. Some Confucian scholars looked at Jia Rong with evil eyes. Most of the Confucian scholars were thinking about the family and the royal family, but Jia Rong offended the family in these two aspects.
All over.
Jia Rong got up and left with Zhao Yun and others. The brief confrontation with the Confucian scholars allowed him to publicize his governance philosophy. Most of the Confucian scholars opposed it but could not stop other talented people from eagerly admiring it.
"Fengxiao, what do you think of this person?" Cheng Yu asked in a low voice.
"The depth of this man's city is unfathomable. He is definitely not an ordinary person. Given time, he will surely occupy a place in the Xiliang Army." Guo Jia put away his cynical attitude and said with a serious face: "The guards around this person are not ordinary people either.
generation."
Cheng Yu nodded and said, "The world is about to be in chaos. What do you think of Feng Xiao?"
In Yingchuan Academy, Cheng Yu and Guo Jia can be considered to be on friendly terms. Guo Jia was born in a poor family. When he first entered Yingchuan Academy, he was looked down upon. Guo Jia seemed to be a wild man, but in fact he had big plans. The other one
Xun Yu, a great talent at Yingchuan Academy, also had a good relationship with the two. However, Xun Yu was an out-and-out royalist, and all he thought about was the dignity of the royal family. Recently, he was thinking of going to Chang'an. Cheng Yu often regretted having Wang Zuo.
Xun Yu, who was talented, walked on a very narrow road.
Guo Jia smiled and said: "Jia Rong from Chang'an, Yuan Shao from Jizhou, Liu Biao from Jingzhou, all of them are fine."
Cheng Yu said with a heavy face: "Filial piety is a matter of life, so you must think clearly. Jia Rong re-employed a scholar from a poor family, but he violated the Han family. Since Emperor Guangwu, he has gone against the family, and there is no way in the Han Dynasty.
Let's go, Liu Biao is famous for his Eight Horsemen, but he himself has no great talent or strategy. He is not a wise master. The fourth and third princes of the Yuan family are also a good place to go. No matter where you go as a filial piety, you must be careful and don't be so unruly, so as not to cause trouble.
Come and behead someone." Cheng Yu is older than Guo Jia and is experienced and steady in his work.
"Thank you Zhongde for reminding me. I will not make a decision before I am absolutely sure."
"Fengxiao's health is not good, so try to go to those romantic places as little as possible."
"I recently heard that Dongjun was acquired by Cao Cao. What do you think of Fengxiao?"
Guo Jia said disapprovingly: "They are just people who deceive the world and steal their reputation. For the sake of profit, the princes are fighting against each other, and the people are in dire straits. Jincheng and Chang'an are the paradise that the people yearn for. In less than five years, Chang'an's prosperity will definitely be as prosperous as Luoyang in the past.
.”
"Fengxiao, Cao Cao once assassinated Dong Zhuo, but escaped after being discovered by Dong Zhuo. Later, he issued an edict to attack Dong Zhuo. He took the lead and lost his troops. Perhaps he was not the person who deceived the world and stole his reputation as Fengxiao said."
Guo Jia laughed and said: "Zhong Dexiu should not be deceived by his appearance. Xu Zijiang once asserted that Cao Cao was 'a capable minister in governing the world and a hero in troubled times'. It is rumored that Jia Rong had an old relationship with him, and he had made a trip to Luoyang.
If you leave him, Dong Zhuo will be furious."
"Feng Xiao, please wait and see. Cao Cao is not the Cao Mengde that the world sees."
Guo Jia was surprised and asked: "Could it be that Zhongde wants to join Cao Cao?"
Cheng Yu nodded.
Guo Jia shut his mouth knowingly. Even eight horses couldn't pull back what Cheng Yu had decided.
"Zhongde, you and I have known each other for a long time. Today I will have a big drink in a restaurant in the city. I won't come back until I'm drunk."
