Chapter 135: Dance in Troubled Times, Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe
"Brother Yi? Who is he?" Cao Cao asked curiously...
"Jia Xu, Jia Wenhe!" Yi Xiaotian read out his name without thinking. "Brother Hao may not know his name, but he must have heard of his deeds."
Um... deeds?
Cao Cao had some impression of the name Jia Xu. He seemed to have mentioned it several times in previous conversations with Brother Yi...
But Cao Cao couldn't remember the specific details.
"Brother Yi? What's the story of Jia Xu?" Cao Cao asked seriously.
Yi Xiaotian stood up slowly, walked slowly to the bed, looked through the window in the direction of Suanzao County, Chenliu County, and murmured in his mouth.
"Brother Hao, I mentioned him to you in the past in Suanzao County, Chenliu County. At that time, brother Hao made a bet with me. The bet was that after Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo, he would be killed by Li Jue and Guo Si.
The remnants of Xiliang, who were as panic-stricken as a bereaved dog, were defeated!"
call out…
Being reminded by Yi Xiaotian, Cao Cao suddenly recalled it.
That's right, he made this bet with Yi Xiaotian at that time, lost a lot of money, and indirectly helped Brother Yi build a blacksmith shop!
According to Cao Cao's opinion, if Lu Bu, who is unparalleled in martial arts, defeated these defeated Xiliang remnants, it would not be a matter of a tiger catching a donkey - it would only take a while...
In the end, Lu Bu was defeated by Li Jue and Guo Si, and the Xiliang counselor who dominated the battlefield was none other than Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe!
He had not cared about things in the west for so long that Cao Cao almost forgot his name.
"Brother Yi, I remembered that at that time, Brother Yi had a very low opinion of this person!"
Cao Cao nodded thoughtfully, then stood up and took two steps left and right. "Brother Yi? Has Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe arrived in Wancheng now and become Zhang Xiu's staff?"
When he asked this question, Cao Cao actually already knew the answer. He patted his forehead and added, "Brother Yi, I'm asking why Jia Xu came to Wancheng? How did he become Zhang Xiu's staff!"
Now, recalling Jia Xu's unpredictable plans, Cao Cao is even more afraid of him, Zhang Xiu, and Wancheng...
This guy defeated the flying general Lu Bu with his remaining soldiers. He should not be underestimated.
"Brother Hiding, do you want to know?" Yi Xiaotian asked with squinted eyes.
"I really want to know." Cao Cao nodded. "I suddenly became very interested in Jia Xu."
"Okay." Yi Xiaotian raised his hand. "Then I will tell you in detail, what has Jia Xu experienced in the past few years? How wise this guy's brain is, and how good his mouth is.
Foolish!"
Yi Xiaotian took a sip of wine to moisten his throat before continuing.
"Since the emperor escaped from Chang'an and returned to the East, Xuanwei General Jia Xu took the initiative to resign and left Li Jue and Guo Si. He knew in his heart that it was because of his words that Li Jue and Guo Si entered
Chang'an, he felt guilty for letting the emperor become a prisoner under house arrest. For this reason, he secretly helped the emperor escape from the clutches of Li Jue and Guo Si, and then he quit!"
At this point, Yi Xiaotian paused for a moment.
"Speaking of which, although Li Jue and Guo Si do not regard the emperor as a human being, they are still respectful to Jia Xu. After all, without Jia Xu, they would have been dead long ago."
"Brother Yi? From what you say, Jia Xu is still a loyal minister!" Upon hearing this, Cao Cao asked thoughtfully.
"Half and half," Yi Xiaotian replied lightly. "Jia Xu has a sense of right and wrong. This is thanks to his orthodox Confucian influence from the Jia family in Wuwei County."
Yi Xiaotian simply talked about Jia Xu’s family and life experience.
It turns out that Jia Xu’s ancestor is Jia Yi of the Western Han Dynasty.
It is the Jia Yi who is famous as a political commentator and writer at that time in the famous "Preface to Prince Teng's Pavilion" "Qu Jia Yi went to Changsha, it is not without a holy master; he traveled to Liang Hong in Haiqu, there is no lack of Ming Dynasty...".
Speaking of which, Jia Yi also studied under Zhang Cang, the prime minister of the Western Han Dynasty. Zhang Cang was also a close disciple of Xunzi, one of the three giants of Confucianism, and his favorite disciple. For this reason, the Jia family in Wuwei County can be said to be an authentic Confucian orthodoxy.
Having been influenced like this since childhood, it is natural that the Confucian concept of loyalty to the emperor has already penetrated into Jia Xu’s bones...
Yi Xiaotian explained the details here in detail.
Cao Cao was very interested when he heard this. He didn't expect that there was such a Confucian orthodoxy in Wuwei County. He didn't expect that the person who muddied the troubled times was a descendant of Confucianism.
"Brother Yi? Did Jia Xu leave Li Jue and Guo Si and go to Wancheng? To Zhang Xiu's place?" Cao Cao asked curiously.
"No!" Yi Xiaotian waved his hand. "He first went to his hometown and was stationed in the army of Duan Xuan, a small prince in Huayin County. Speaking of which, Duan Xuan was originally Dong Zhuo's old army, but he and Li Jue and Guo Si
The difference is that he attaches great importance to production and cares for the people in his residence. When the emperor returned eastward, he passed by his territory and Duan Xuan even sent food and clothing to the emperor!"
"oh…"
Cao Cao nodded.
Since Jia Xu is loyal to the emperor and Duan Xuan behaves like this, it is understandable to defect to him, but...
Cao Cao scratched his head. "Brother Yi? Wasn't he quite good in Duan Xuan's army? Why did he go to Zhang Xiu later? Didn't Duan Xuan not respect him enough?"
"Respect? Of course we respect him! Jia Xu is not well-known in the Central Plains, but he is famous among the Xiliang army. How could Duan Xuan and his men dare not respect Jia Xu? But under such circumstances, Jia Xu did not
How long did you stay before you packed your bags and left?"
Yi Xiaotian's words came out next...
leave?
Cao Cao couldn't understand it at all. He was well respected and famous, so why did he leave?
With this in mind, his eyes became full of curiosity when he looked at Yi Xiaotian.
Seeing Cao Cao's expression, Yi Xiaotian smiled slightly. "This is where Jia Xu excels! After a brief contact, he discovered that Duan Xu has a characteristic - he is suspicious by nature. Now he, Jia Xu, is in Huayin County
The popularity is so great that Duan Yan already feels vaguely threatened. If Jia Xu stays here any longer, Duan Yan will definitely not be able to tolerate him!"
Speaking of this, Yi Xiaotian stretched out his hand and said, "On the contrary, when Jia Xu left, Duan Xuan was very happy. Not only did he give him a generous allowance, but he also sent someone to take care of Jia Xu's family! Hiding the truth from brother Pinpin, this Jia Xu
Is your ability to understand the situation outstanding enough? Is it outstanding enough?"
Huh...Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief.
If helping Li Jue and Guo Si defeat Lu Bu is enough to prove that Jia Xu's strategy is unparalleled, then...these two resignations are even more evidence of his outstanding insight. Such judgment of the overall situation is afraid of Cao Cao.
Except for Brother Yi and Xun Yu, no one can rival him.
Cao Cao suddenly became more appreciative of Jia Xu.
"Brother Yi? Then Jia Xu will choose Wancheng where Zhang Xiu is located next?"
Cao Cao asked.
But he felt something was wrong, so he tapped his forehead and asked immediately.
"Brother Yi, why did Jia Xu have to defect to Zhang Xiu? At that time, the emperor was already in the hands of Cao Cao. Whether it was strength or morality, shouldn't Jia Xu should have defected to Cao Cao? Why did Jia Xu abandon the strong to seek the weak?
Woolen cloth?"
When Cao Cao asked this question, he felt puzzled...
Isn't it just to make the world return to its heart when he welcomes the emperor and orders the princes? How come he is not as popular as Zhang Xiu in terms of people's support? The more he thinks about it, the worse he feels.
Well…
Yi Xiaotian turned around, this is a good question.
Yes, no matter where he thought about it, Jia Xu should defect to Cao Cao, but he chose the weak over the strong, and chose Cao Cao's good neighbor Zhang Xiu. This is Jia Xu's brilliance, because there is still something hidden in the middle.
There is a reason...a reason that needs to be explained in detail.
