"Uncle Wenhe, I'm causing trouble for you." Zhang Xiu said to Jia Xu.
Zhang Xiu treated Jia Xu privately as a descendant.
"Humph." Jia Xu hummed with drooping eyebrows.
Previously, Zhang Xiu was so excited that he directly joined the Cavalry General's Mansion, and his behavior of talking to death really caused a lot of "trouble" for Jia Xu!
This directly caused Jia Xu to change from the one being persuaded to the one who needed to take the initiative to persuade Zhu Zhi, and... it had not yet succeeded. Apparently Bai Tu had named him to go to Jinling, and Zhu Zhi would not let him go at all.
"Uncle Wenhe, you will also go to Jinling in the future. Bai Gong also promised that he will go to Duan Xuan to ask for your family. It is said that the climate in Jinling is pleasant, so you can enjoy your family as much as possible." Zhang Xiu explained with a shy face.
road.
When Jia Xu abandoned Duan Xuan and joined Zhang Xiu, his family was left behind in Huayin.
Duan Xuan was originally afraid of Jia Xu, but he was actually happy that he was leaving. He also wanted to attract Zhang Xiu to help each other, so he took good care of Jia Xu's family, but did not let them go.
Zhang Xiu's face was not enough to ask for people from Duan Xuan, especially the positions of Huayin and Wancheng. Zhang Xiu insisted on asking for Jia Xu's family members, and Duan Xuan was afraid that he wanted to annex him.
However, Bai Tu was different from Zhang Xiu. He had much more face, and Duan Yan understood after thinking about it that if Bai Tu really wanted to do anything to him, it would be useless if he tied up Jia Xu's family members, so all he needed was a piece of paper.
Don't be afraid that he won't obey.
"Enjoy your family relationship to the fullest? It's good to be able to survive." Jia Xu didn't look very happy.
"My lord, haven't you already said that what happened before, Uncle Wen He was just trying to survive, and it was also Li Jue and Guo Si's fault that he wreaked havoc in Guanzhong. Uncle Wen He still had a chance to make a mistake... With Uncle Wen He's ability
, I will definitely be able to perform better in the Cavalry General's Mansion than here with my nephew." Zhang Xiu complimented.
"Exhibition? Humph, if I only wanted to show off my strengths, I would have been mad at you long ago, and today?" Jia Xu curled her lips and said.
Jia Xu's principle is "if you are poor, you can take care of yourself; if you are rich, you can protect yourself." Compared with ordinary conspirators and people who harm others and enrich themselves, Jia Xu passively harms others, just like when he was a small official in the Xiliang Army,
Even though he was not young, Jia Xu never made any sacrifices to advance to the next level when he was safe.
Probably because, in his opinion, there are more dangers after being developed. Being able to be a small official paddling and "taking care of oneself" is the happiest thing. As for being developed... he wants to do that more than helping the world.
The purpose is also to "protect oneself", not to be suspected, not to be framed by enemies.
Therefore, in history, even the suspicious Cao Pi relied heavily on Jia Xu.
If Jia Xu had an enterprising spirit, he would be the most terrifying conspirator and a more ruthless poisoner than Li Ru who proposed the plan to burn down Luoyang. But... Jia Xu is the type who has no enterprising spirit and only passively spreads poison.
"Hehe, my lord is naturally different from me...Besides, there are many capable people in the Cavalry General's Mansion. Come to think of it...that word is...using tricks to make up for the numbers? No...fishing in troubled waters?" Zhang Xiu couldn't describe it for a moment.
I saw Jia Xu looking over with dead eyes.
However, Jia Xu already understood what he meant - if he had said this to other counselors, he would definitely feel humiliated, but if he had said it to the few petty-minded people under Yuan Shao, he might have lost his mind.
However, for Jia Xu, these words spoke to his heart.
Jia Xu was optimistic about Cao Cao before, mainly because Cao Cao had enough smart people. When he persuaded Zhang Xiu, he said that Cao Cao needed him more and would be more likely to be reused, while Yuan Shao only regarded him as dispensable.
But in fact, Jia Xu's plan for himself was exactly the opposite. He hoped that Cao Cao would not pay too much attention to him, so as not to be involved in the whirlpool. In contrast... Yuan Shao's group conspirators were better at engaging in internal fighting. Jia Xu did not want to
Put yourself in danger.
"Hey, Jiangdong... is a place where there are many aristocratic families, and Bai Gong is lenient in his actions, but he is stubborn and stubborn in dealing with things... he can even be said to be arrogant. I don't know whether this is a blessing or a curse." Jia Xu was not completely reassured.
The reason why Bai Tu was ranked lower than Cao Cao in Jia Xu's mind was because the Jiangdong where Bai Tu started his career was a place where the family was strong, which meant... xenophobia; the other reason was that Bai Tu was worried
Tu Ren, as a prince from the current secular perspective, can even be said to be "morally obsessive" and whose moral values are very different from ordinary people, Jia Xu felt that he would definitely not get along with him.
In any case, since he listened to what Bai Tu conveyed, at least he had no intention of killing himself to serve the Han Dynasty, Jia Xu did not want to risk running away.
In a few days, Jia Xu will return to Jinling with Zhu Zhi, while Zhang Xiu will continue to be retained in Wancheng - not to retain "his Wancheng", but to subordinate the Chariot and Cavalry General's Mansion to the Front School.
As a lieutenant, he guarded Wancheng.
The reduction of "school lieutenant" to a grassroots official position started with the proliferation of miscellaneous generals and lieutenant generals. However, a truly established school lieutenant is actually still very valuable. For example, in the capital, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu all held the position.
The eighth captain of Xiyuan.
The five captains of the front, rear, left, right, and middle schools are subordinate officers affiliated to the Chariot and Cavalry General's Mansion. They are official positions with a rank equivalent to two thousand stones.
Bai Tu specially gave Zhang Xiu a position in the Chariot and Cavalry General's Palace, also to show his closeness.
Lu Meng was also ordered to temporarily stay in Wancheng and serve under Zhang Xiu, while the woodcutter... still wanted to return to Jinling.
Originally, Zhang Xiu wanted to keep his junior brother in Wancheng to make great achievements together, but the woodcutter refused.
The woodcutter was only dissatisfied because the guy "suspected of being a senior brother" wanted to defect to Cao Cao, so he asked to go with him, but in fact, he still had an unresolved knot.
After that... Zhang Xiu felt very proud. Now he had defected to the Cavalry General's Mansion, saying "Follow the lord and fight for the people" one after another, and began to look down on the young junior brother who had talked so eloquently to him from a moral perspective.
However, the woodcutter is not a provocateur of this level, and can rekindle his fighting spirit.
…
When Jia Xu and Zhu Zhi arrived in Jinling, Bai Tu had also seen Xu Dulai's "Prime Minister's Mansion Campaign" - that is, Cao Pi!
On the one hand, Cao Pi's motorcade was indeed slow enough; on the other hand... Jia Xu was much more agile than Zhu Zhi imagined.
Because his family was still with Duan Zhen and he had nothing to live with, Jia Xu returned to Jinling with Zhu Zhi almost alone. Jia Xu had been in the army for a long time. Although he was not proficient in martial arts, he was a good horseman, which really made Zhu Zhi also
Startled.
After Cao Pi came to Jinling, Sima Lang visited the officials of the Chariot and Cavalry General's Mansion for him as a famous scholar. Cao Pi washed up the next day and came to visit Bai Tu honestly.
As for Xia Houjuan...he was pretending to be a small clerk in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Originally, Cao Pi wanted Xiahou Juan to disguise himself as a manservant and not go out normally, but Xiahoujuan naturally disagreed. In the end, the two of them compromised, and Xiahoujuan dressed up as a man, but not as a manservant, but as a small book.
