Although he has only been in Yinchuan for a short time, Jia Xu has already carefully observed the situation among the people and towns and cities, and collected a lot of information about Chen Cheng. The biggest change in the countryside is that he can often see
There are mills built near the water, or with tall and large windmill frames. After asking carefully, I found out that these mills are used to grind wheat.
He bought some ground wheat from the villagers. After cooking, the texture was completely different from the wheat rice he had eaten before. One was in the sky and the other was underground. After hearing that these mills were built under the guidance of people sent by the state pastoral government,
After that, Jia Xu was shocked.
But what surprised him even more was that Chen Cheng had tamed the princes of Xiliang in just a few years. Whether Yang Qiu or Cheng Yi, both of whom were arrogant, could actually
He had never expected to bow his head to an outsider like Chen Cheng. Even a arrogant prince like Han Sui had to come to Yinchuan obediently in order to survive.
Being brought over by Yan Zhong today, Jia Xu looked at Chen Cheng carefully. Chen Shijun's appearance was not far from what he had imagined. His body was majestic, as powerful as a galloping horse, and his voice was loud. He could really "stand on people with his fists."
, a hero with a horse on his arm. You can tell at a glance that he is a peerless warrior with courage that is unmatched by any man.
But he was a little disappointed. Although he could subdue the rebellious princes of Xiliang with his strength, he could only be a "overlord of Xiliang". Jia Xu met Chen Cheng and Yan Zhong together.
, it is natural to think of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu in the late Qin Dynasty, and his father Fan Zeng.
In his opinion, Chen Cheng was probably not as good as Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, so could Yan Zhong be as good as his "sub-father" Fan Zeng?
While he was thinking about it, Chen Cheng said with a smile: "Bo Dao said it's the Chinese New Year, so let's not talk about official matters first. I think it makes sense, so let's not talk about it now. We can talk about the common things after we have worshiped the gods on the Lantern Festival."
Although Wen He is from Liangzhou, he has probably never tasted our Yinchuan special food. Now that he is here, you must try these things. If you like it, I will have someone send you some."
Seeing Chen Cheng's face full of smiles, Jia Xu's thoughts changed again, and he secretly thought: Although Chen Shijun is a warrior, he treats others very kindly, which is very different from Xiang Yu.
After Chen Cheng greeted Jia Xu, he sat back in his seat. Not long after he sat down, he saw Ma Yunlu, encouraged by Liu Qian, walking to Zhao Yun's side with a wine glass in hand, and said with a blushing face: "
General Zhao, let me toast you."
Zhao Yun's expression softened rarely. He picked up the wine glass and looked aside, and saw Liu Qian who was almost rolling with a smile, and Chen Cheng who was smiling brightly.
He looked back and said softly: "You are still young, so don't drink too much."
"kindness!"
When people are immersed in beautiful things, time will pass quickly. The evening banquet is over quickly. In the blink of an eye, the activities of worshiping the gods during the Lantern Festival have also passed. Jia Xu is in the house arranged by the Ministry of Rites.
Prepare things that will be used when Chen Shijun summons him tomorrow. He was born in a poor family, and he has been able to get to where he is now step by step because of his caution. This world will not give him too many opportunities to make mistakes.
During the inspection, his subordinates came in and reported: "Captain, Han Sui wants to see you."
Jia Xu asked in surprise: "Han Sui Hanwen Yue?"
"Exactly."
Why did Han Sui come to see me at this time? Jia Xu pondered for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "Invite him in quickly."
In any case, Han Sui was once the most powerful prince in the Xiliang army, and his daughter married Yan Zhong's nephew, so there was no reason to exclude him. But for some reason, Jia Xu seemed to smell it
It smelled of conspiracy. He straightened his clothes and went out to greet her.
Han Sui was dressed as a scribe and looked quite bookish. However, his temples were already gray and he looked older than he actually was. Although Jia Xu was in his forties, he was still strong and energetic.
It's a young man.
"I didn't know that General Han was coming to visit me. I apologize for missing the welcome."
Han Sui smiled and said: "I am no longer a general. Now I am just an old man waiting to die."
Jia Xu asked Han Sui to sit down in the room and asked his followers to serve him tea. After the followers retreated, he asked, "General Han is here this time. I don't know what he has to say."
Han Sui smiled and said: "I just heard that you are here, so I came to visit. When this person gets old, he likes to miss the past. Wen He is our hero in Liangzhou. Since we live in the same city, how can we not come to visit?
?I originally wanted to come here a long time ago, but I was afraid of disturbing you, so I waited until now."
"Ashamed," Jia Xu said with a slight look of shame on his face, "I should have been the one to visit the general."
"You told me not to call me general," Han Chun waved his hand and said, "I have never obeyed others, but I am convinced by Yan Shangshu."
Jia Xu thought to himself: You often use conspiracy and tricks, but in the end you are plotted by Yan Zhong. You should admire others. But is it really just Yan Zhong's plan?
Han Sui continued: "Yan Shangshu once said to people that Wen He has the same talents as Zhang Liang and Chen Ping. He has always set his sights on others and never praises others easily, but he admires Wen He so much. Dong Bingzhou must have admired Wen He.
It’s the same as listening to what you say, right?”
Jia Xu laughed and said: "Yan Shangshu is ridiculous. I have few talents and little knowledge. How can I compare with Liuhou and Xianhou? There are many talents under Dong Bingzhou, and it seems that those below me have a lot of talent. With this little ability, I am not inferior to the Fang family.
Eye."
Zhang Liang was one of the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty. Liu Bang praised him as "strategically strategizing and winning from thousands of miles away." After the establishment of the Han Dynasty, he was named Liuhou.
Chen Ping, Zhang Liang and Chen Ping are all recognized as great talents by the world. Yan Zhong compared Jia Xu with these two people, which can be said to be a very high praise.
Han Suidao said: "Otherwise, although Yan Shangshu is very resourceful, his ability to recognize people is also far beyond ordinary people. He has assisted Huangfu Song and Chen Shijun successively, and has achieved extraordinary achievements. If he can be valued by Yan Shangshu, Wen He must be the same."
Not an ordinary person."
He sighed: "Back then, both Shishu and Yan Shangshu were in Liangzhou, but I couldn't recognize the heroes, so I was reduced to the current situation. If I could have hired anyone to help me, how could I have been defeated in Chencang City?"
Jia Xu smiled and said, "Is it possible that General Han is dissatisfied with the current situation?"
"No, no," Han Sui waved his hands repeatedly, shaking his head and said, "Chen Shijun is brave and good at fighting, and uses troops like a god. Yan Bodao has far-reaching wisdom. I am convinced that I will be defeated by them."
Jia Xu thought: If you are really convinced, why come and tell me this?
He had always been cautious and took self-preservation as his top priority. Now that Han Sui came to tell him that he had and did not have these things, he was full of vigilance. Although Han Sui seemed to be in despair now, he used to be called "
"Nine Bends of the Yellow River", killing so many people who were sworn brothers and superiors one after another, how could Jia Xu deal with it carelessly?
Han Sui let out a long sigh and said, "When this man is old, he only thinks about his children and grandchildren. I have done many things in the past and made many enemies. I am already so old, so it doesn't matter what happens. But
I’m afraid those people will do harm to my children.”
Jia Xu also has a son, and there are two more. Hearing what Han Sui said, he couldn't help but feel moved on his face, and said: "What General Han said is true. As a parent, you only want your children and grandchildren to be better than your own generation."
Lived better.”
Han Sui covered his face and said, "I'm ashamed. When I think of a couple of children, I can't help myself."
Jia Xu said: "Where, where, General Han's nature is revealed, and I can't help but think of my two sons at home. Parents in the world are all ordinary."
Then the two of them told some stories about Liangzhou. They were ten years apart in age, but they both came from the old times. When they were young, the Han Empire had not weakened to the extent it is now. When they grow up,
After the Great War, the situation in the world became increasingly unstable, and rebellions in Liangzhou occurred one after another.
Han Sui joined the ranks of the rebels in the tide of the times, and gradually became the most powerful prince in Liangzhou by relying on bloody killings and extraordinary methods. Jia Xu chose to join Dong Zhuo's men, although
His promotion was slow, but he reached the position of Cavalry Commander step by step.
The two people made different choices, and their subsequent experiences were very different. But after a while, the two met again in Yinchuan. It can only be said that it was fate. As they talked, they both felt deeply.
, very sad.
Finally, Han Sui touched the old tears in his eyes and said: "I came here today mainly to visit Wenhe. Secondly, I want to ask Wenhe for the sake of being from Xiliang. If I have trouble in the future, I can treat Quanzi."
Han Li will take care of one or two."
Jia Xu said: "There is no need for the general to give orders. I should keep this in mind. If the situation changes in the future, please ask the general to take care of my two sons under appropriate circumstances."
Han Sui laughed and said: "With Wen He's talents, his future will be limitless. Naturally, your son does not need me to take care of him. But if one day comes, I will still remember this day even if I put this old face aside."
The words..."
The two talked for a long time, and although they didn't drink, they were both guests and hosts. Han Sui stood up to leave, and Jia Xu sent him to the door. The two exchanged pleasantries again, and Han Sui left. When Han Sui left, Jia Xu
The smile on his face gradually disappeared.
The two of them talked a lot just now, seemingly just talking about old things in Liangzhou and their children, as if they were real old friends. But is Jia Xu the kind of person who would be confused by his hometown? Zhang Liang
He is a strategic talent who "strategizes", but what Chen Ping is best at is conspiracy!
Being called by Yan Zhong "as talented as Zhang Liang and Chen Ping", how could Jia Xu have no sense of conspiracy?
He turned around and walked back into the house to continue checking the things he would use tomorrow, but his mind was already confused. He thought to himself: Could it be that Han Sui wanted to do something?
But this is impossible. Han Wenyue is far away from his army and lives in Yinchuan City with more than a hundred people. Even if he has evil intentions, what can he do?
Jia Xu thought for a long time, but he still didn't know what Han Sui's plan was. He sighed softly and said to himself: "Is it because I often judge others by myself, so I think wrong?
