Although Jia Xu was shocked when Liu Xin pointed out that he had served in the Xiliang Army. But there is no confusion. Let's talk about Liu Xin's intention to call him to Chang'an. On the way, he guessed it. however. Faced with Liu Xin's straightforward inquiry. The scheming Jia Xu did not immediately answer. Instead, he bowed his head pretending to be contemplative. After a while. Just now he said: "There are countless capable people and strangers under the lord. The subordinates are compared with the adults. There is nothing outstanding. The subordinates think twice. The reason why the lord calls his subordinates to come. Must be because the subordinates are. It is from the Xiliang family. The lord's move must be to subdue Liangzhou."
Liu Xin knows Jia Xu's wit. Such a simple question definitely does not need to be considered for so long. But he didn't point out his pretentiousness. He smiled and said: "Wenhe is really talented. When Liu first arrived in Chang'an, he wanted to use troops against Liangzhou. But Feng Xiao told Liu. As long as Liu sits in Chang'an. No more than a month. Liangzhou lords are strong. Must come to match. Liu is not at ease. He sent Dong Zhuo’s subordinate Fan Chou to lobby in various counties in Liangzhou. Now half a month has passed. There is no movement from Liangzhou. Liu is worried about this."
Jia Xu spent half a year in Xiangyang. I have heard a lot about these civil servants and generals under Liu Xin. Also know Guo Jia's name. He thought a little. Then I know the purpose of this strategy. But he said with a humble expression: "The lord is absurd. The subordinates are really ashamed. Mr. Guo is very clever. The lords in Xiliang are brave and cruel. If the lord immediately uses troops. They will definitely form a group to fight against the lord. . But it’s not a good idea for the lord to wait blindly."
Liu Xin knows that Jia Xu must have something in his heart. Hurriedly asked: "Wen Heji said this. You should teach me with good strategies."
Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty "deposed a hundred schools. Dominates Confucianism." Who among the world's scholars doesn't want to seek a background? Those so-called master hermits. Or unreliable. As a result, the years were wasted. Disheartened. Or flashy. Only talk on paper. All useless. Jia Xu Hanchuang studied hard. Of course, I also think that one day I can stand on the temple. He has already recognized that Liu Xin is a master. I definitely want to make a good impression the first time I offer advice. Naturally, be extra cautious.
Although about how to calm Xiliang. Jia Xu has carefully considered it for two days. I heard Liu Xin's inquiry. Still sorted out my thoughts in my mind again. Make sure nothing is missing. Then he said: "Go back to the lord. Lord Guo expected nothing wrong. But he can only cure the symptoms, not the root cause. These Xiliang heroes force the situation to meet. It is because of oral dissatisfaction. After a long time, the heart is opposed. If you want to make it, Liangzhou Yongding. Only the combined use of grace and prestige, and the combined use of suing and caress."
"Use both grace and prestige, and use both caress." Liu Xin frowned slightly.
"That's right. Both enlightenment and prowess are used together, and the caressing is used together." These words came out. On the contrary, Jia Xu is no longer cautious. Said confidently. "Even when Dong Zhuo served as the governor of Xiliang. There was not a monolithic one. There were many Qiang people in Xiliang. There were many conflicts between Qiang and Han. There are also conflicts between the tyrants and the strong. The lord must completely calm Liangzhou. Beat some people. Pull some people."
Liu Xin nodded and said, "Wenhe. You are telling me to kill chickens and monkeys. Then. Who should I pull. Who beats who."
Jia Xu said confidently: "The lord can take advantage of the contradictions between the Qiang and Han people. Attack the Qiang people. To win over the powerful Han people in the counties."
Liu Xin shook his head. Said: "The people of the Qiang nationality are also the people of my great Han. When Liu takes Liangzhou. The first thing to do is to ease the conflicts between the Qiang and Han people. Let the Qiang and Han people truly become a family. Just like Liu was in Jing, Yierzhou has the same policy towards the barbarians. There is one more thing you might want to know. The Qiang leader Beigong Boyu was captured by my army outside the city of Xiwu a few days ago. I have let him go back. He also promised not to live forever. Rebellion. I am willing to persuade the various tribes of the Qiang tribe to obey my orders."
Jia Xu said with joy: "The Qiang people are brave and brave. If you can get help from the Qiang people. Liangzhou's peace is just around the corner. Now that Beigong Boyu is willing to vote, the lord will be a La Qiang. Fight the powerful."
Liu Xin waved her hand gently. Said: "Liu does not allow Han people to oppress the Qiang people. Of course, he will not use the Qiang people to slaughter the Han people. There is no need to discuss this matter."
The view of "not my race. Their hearts must be different" was a big market at the time. Including Jia Xu also thinks so. Therefore, as soon as he came up, he persuaded Liu Xin to forcefully attack the Qiang people. It took me a long time to work out it. Use the contradiction between the Han and Qiang nationalities to establish the strategy of Enli Wei. It was rejected by Liu Xin without hesitation. Jia Xu felt a little nervous. A little sweat gradually oozes from the palm of his hand.
Liu Xin suddenly turned pale when he saw Jia Xu's face. Could not help but smile. Said: "Wenhe. There are only two of us here. Just say whatever you think. It won't get in the way."
Jia Xu forced himself to calm down. He folded his hands and said: "Back to the Lord. If you can't take advantage of the contradictions between Han and Qiang. Then you can only use the relationship between Liangzhou's great powers. Pull some people. Beat some people."
Liu Xin groaned: "Liu does not advocate force. But Liangzhou is close to Sili. If it cannot be settled as soon as possible, it will affect the revival of my Han Dynasty. It is helpless. Only swords and soldiers will face each other. Wenhe. You are the only one. It is from Xiliang. You should be more clear about the situation of Liangzhou's tycoons. You can analyze it for me."
Regarding the situation in Liangzhou. Jia Xu really worked hard. Many preparations have been made. So he leaned back and said, "Go back to the lord. Liangzhou Hao has more than a dozen large and small. The stronger ones are Han Sui, Ma Teng, Yang Fu, Pei Mao, etc. Among them, Han Sui is the most powerful. Subordinates think. If you want to stand up in Xiliang, you can’t show your strength against those other powerful ones. Choose the weaker among the four and strike them."
Liu Xin nodded and said: "I heard that Han Sui and Ma Teng are married brothers. But this is the case."
Jia Xu smiled and said, "Han and Ma have indeed become brothers. But they are all because of their interests. The time is divided and the time fits. It is uncountable."
Liu Xin thought for a moment. Said: "Wenhe. You said just now. Among these tycoons, Han Sui is the most powerful."
Jia Xu nodded. Said: "Go back to the lord. Han Sui has eight soldiers and horses. The leaders and generals are all brave. It is difficult for all the powerful and powerful."
Liu Xin patted the table. Said: "That's good. Just take Han Sui's knife and stand up."
Jia Xu didn't expect Liu Xin to choose the strongest player. He hesitated: "Lord. If you attack Han Sui, I'm afraid the soldiers will be damaged. Do you think about it again."
Liu Xin said disapprovingly: "Since it is a prestige. Choose the strong one and strike it. As long as you defeat Han Sui. Who dares to say "no" to the other tycoons."
In fact, Liu Xin didn't say one more thing. In his impression. Yang Fu has always been to the court. Pei Mao is not very clear. It is estimated that there is no major achievement. It should be Ma Teng and Han Sui who have to spend their energy to deal with them. Although Han Sui has a lot of troops. But there are no powerful warriors under him. It's Ma Teng. His son Ma Chao. Nephew Ma Dai. General Pound is the champion of the three armies. Therefore, Liu Xin did not take Han Sui's eight military horses to heart. On the contrary, Ma Teng was somewhat eager to win.
Jia Xu couldn't help being impressed by Liu Xin's extraordinary courage. Stand up. Fists with both hands. Said: "Since the Lord's heart has been decided, the subordinates are willing to serve in front of the army."
Liu Xin smiled and said: "Wenhe. Sit down and talk. You are from Liangzhou. You are familiar with the human geography there. Now you are naturally indispensable to use soldiers."
Jia Xu didn't sit down. He took out a piece of yellow silk from his arms. Spread it gently on the table in front of Liu Xin. Said: "Lord, please see. This topographic map of Liangzhou was drawn by his subordinates. Where is suitable for ambushes. Where is suitable for field warfare. Where must be attacked. Subordinates do not understand."
Most maps of that era were relatively crudely produced. Besides, this one was hand-painted by Jia Xu. Liu Xin didn't care too much. He picked it up and glanced at it. Suddenly I was attracted. Pointing to the upper left corner of the map and asked: "Wenhe. It turns out that this is Yumen Pass and Yang Pass. From then on, it should be the Western Regions to the west."
Jia Xu said, "The lord's words are not bad. The Western Regions are outside the pass. My great man once set up the Protectorate to manage the Western Regions. Now it has been abandoned for a long time."
Liu Xin didn't know much about the situation in the Western Regions. I just remember that the ancient Silk Road used the Western Regions to achieve exchanges between the East and the West. It is said that the Western Regions were once part of Han's territory for a long time. Involved in interest. Looking at that map for a long time. Just then he said: "Wenhe. You said we can't reset the Western Regions Protectorate."
Jia Xu didn't expect Liangzhou to be settled yet. Liu Xin set his sights on the Western Regions. Can not help but froze for a moment. Immediately, Liu Xin was more excited about having such an ambition. Said: "In the early years of the Han Dynasty. The Western Regions Protectorate governed 36 countries. After several changes. Later, the jurisdiction of the Western Regions Protectorate was limited to the east of Congling. Wusun and Dawan are no longer owned by the Han. Until now The Han is declining. Although the name west of Congling is owned by the Han, the post of Protector of the Western Regions has been vacant for many years. If the lord can restore the jurisdiction of the Han in the Western Regions, it will be an unworldly achievement.
Liu Xinqiang held the joy in his heart. Said: "If you want to stabilize the Western Regions. Liangzhou must be pacified. This matter should be put aside first."
While talking. The soldiers outside the door suddenly came to report: "Teach your lord. Xiangyang sent an emergency document."
Jia Xu took the paperwork from the soldier. Respectfully handed it to Liu Xin. The document was sealed with fire lacquer. Jia Xu has no way of knowing the contents. But the word "emergency" was stamped with a fiery red mark on the cover. Extraordinarily dazzling. Obviously something extremely important happened.
Liu Xin frowned slightly. During my absence in Xiangyang. Those little ones are really bold. Is there anyone else who is thinking of going to Xiangyang? Take the urgent paperwork. Liu Xin was not eager to open it. He silently recalled the current situation in his heart. Yuan Shu offered to strike out. Cao Cao was defeated and returned to Puyang. Jiangdong has Gan Ning and Xu Chu when it is no problem. Could it be that the war in Zhongnan is unfavorable.
Jia Xu kept watching Liu Xin's movements. I saw him slowly tearing open the cover. Extract the official documents inside. Glancing hastily. Suddenly his expression changed drastically.
