Henan Yin, Luoyang City.

Over the past few months, Yan Xing in Luoyang has been busy with "three cups and three meals, and three meals and three meals". The Luoyang court, which was exposed, was like an empty shell and was placed aside, and the real power and hegemony, whose behavior is the core of Yan, has been running rapidly.

The personnel affairs, etiquette, law, punishment, money, silk, grain, grass, engineering work, plus military affairs with the most heavy power and responsibility, all military affairs will be arranged in a full schedule, which makes the burden on Yan Xing, who is in the center of power, much heavier.

Fortunately, the Bald Mansion he ruled was composed of the original general shogunate and the Hedong County Mansion. Most of the officials who acted as the chief officials of each Cao Cao were the old people in the county, including Pei Hui, Jia Kui, Sun Zi, etc. There were also senior officials such as Yan Su, Pei Qian, and Chang Lin. They were very skilled in handling important military and political affairs, and Yan Xing was also very good at commanding.

With the joint efforts of the monarch and ministers, the military and political affairs of the monarchy, which was finally managed in an orderly manner through the Bafu, which was both military and political, from the Luoyang court to the Sanhe County.

However, as the ruler of Yan Xing, although he had the help of the officials of the Ba Mansion, had to do some things himself.

For example, when he met the famous scholars and local talents from all over the world who came to Luoyang and came to the General's Mansion to pay homage to him.

Pei Hui, a clerk in the Western Cao, was responsible for the recruitment assessment of the officials and soldiers in the mansion. Ordinary scholars came to pay their respects. Yan Xing, who was busy with everything, would usually let Pei Hui meet him on his behalf and hire him on his behalf. However, if a famous scholar like Xun You came to pay respects, Yan Xing had to put the important military and political affairs aside and take the time to receive them in person.

When there is a great chaos today, heroes take advantage of the situation and heroes scattered in all fields. A wise ruler wants to choose a wise minister, and a wise minister also chooses a wise ruler. Jizhou and Jingzhou are undoubtedly the places where the most talented people gather in the world, followed by Yangzhou, Liaodong, Shuzhong and other places.

At present, Yan Xing welcomed the emperor back to Luoyang and shouted the slogan "Return to the old capital and revive the Han Dynasty". Using the name of the Emperor of Han, he issued an edict to recruit famous scholars living in all over the world and talents to enter the capital.

Gradually, Luoyang, among the world, formed a situation where talents from all directions gathered.

Although there were scholars living in Jingzhou like Zhao Yan, Fan Qin and Du Xi, who believed that Yan Xing was holding the emperor hostage and acted as a magnanimous person, which was no different from Dong Zhuo, Li Jue and others. He refused to enlist in the court and was even ashamed to accept the official position of the Luoyang court.

However, there were still many talents living in Jingzhou who were reluctant to get the value of Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, so they decided to choose another wise ruler. They left the land of Jingxiang and came to Luoyang according to the imperial edict.

Yan Xing took over the similar experience of Du Ji and Sima Zhi of Hanoi, who personally inspected and regarded their talents. He successively engraved them into the mansion and served as the Shi Zuo, the general of the cavalry, Cao Zhongjun.

Xun You was one of the most recent talents living in Jingzhou.

Xun You was previously granted the title of the prefect of Shu County by the Chang'an court. He wanted to go to Shu to take his post. However, the road to Shu was difficult and dangerous, and there were five dou of rice thieves separated into chaos. Therefore, Xun You had to stay in the Jingxiang area.

Although Xun You is late now, Yan Xing is still very happy. He personally met and interviewed him. He asked the corporal clerk humbly for advice from this famous scholar in the world who is nearly forty.

Xun You was very smart and courageous. He was able to observe traitors at the age of thirteen. When he was in Chang'an, he and Zheng Tai, who was also a famous scholar in the world, disclosed his plans to kill Dong Zhuo. Zheng Tai fled in a hurry. He Yong was worried and afraid of suicide. Only Xun You treated him as if he was homeless and was still calm in prison. Finally, he survived and witnessed Dong Zhuo's destruction.

But Xun You is also a person with deep intelligence and defense. During his conversation with Xun You, Yan Xing vaguely noticed Xun You's hidden secrets, but this further strengthened Yan Xing's plan to keep this hidden talent by his side.

After some interviews, Yan Xing immediately decided to procure Xun You as a military advisor and to advise General Cavalry's military affairs.

For this appointment, Yan Xing also specifically asked the military advisor for the wine sacrificial work of Ji Zhicai.

Xi Zhicai planned the military strategy and the credit for the counselor of the military was known to the former general's shogunate and the Hedong County Government. It can be said that he deserved the position of military advisor Jijiu, and all the officials in the mansion were convinced.

But Xun You is different. Although he is famous as a famous scholar in the country, he has never shown his true talents under Yan Xing's command. In addition, Xun You is a clever person and is unknown to others. Therefore, Yan Xing must calm down the fluctuations caused by eliminating Xun You into the mansion.

Xi Zhicai is the key figure among them.

Only if Xi Zhicai happily accepts Xun You and his list, the other old people in the mansion will not have too much resentment or resistance. On the contrary, if Xi Zhicai takes the lead in secretly suppressing Xun You, the newcomer who suddenly ascended the high position in the mansion, will then bring a series of negative impacts to the General Cavalry's mansion.

As a result, when Yan Xing asked Xi Zhicai, Xi Zhicai smiled and said directly:

"Wisdom is attainable, but foolish is not attainable. Xun Gong is an extraordinary person and cannot be surrendered. Ming Gong declared him a military offering to wine, which is right!"

In Xi Zhicai's mind, he also knew that as Yan Xing's range of troops expanded, it would be difficult for him to continue to follow Yan Xing to fight south and north, and in the army. Xun You's arrival was able to fill the vacant space he left to a certain extent, which was also the reason why Yan Xing entrusted Xun You with important tasks after his first meeting.

Those who know others are wise, and those who know themselves are wise. They are as wise as those who play the role of a playful ambition. In the face of personal fame and the interests of their own camp, they make the choice that they think is correct.

···

Duan Wei also made the most correct choice he thought, and he sent Jia Xu to Luoyang City.

He believed that with Jia Xu's talent, he could not only win Yan Xing's favor, but also fulfill his mission and help him reach an agreed agreement with Yan Xing.

Jia Xu is exactly what can do.

When Yan Xing learned that Jia Xu was coming to pay a visit, he personally welcomed Jia Xu and invited him to the room for negotiation.

Looking at Jia Xu, who was still wearing a goatee and had not changed much in Qinghuang's face, Yan Xing secretly lamented Jia Xu's ability to stay, and at the same time he could not help but recall the scene when the two first met.

Yan Xing was just a small Sima, and Jia Xu was the official in Dong Zhuo's mansion. The two were ordered to go on a mission to Guanzhong to recruit Huangfu Song, who had heavy troops, into the court.

Yan Xing, as Li Ru's confidant, went with his envoys. On the one hand, he was to protect Jia Xu, and on the other hand, he secretly monitored Jia Xu, who had become resourceful, and wanted him to be Li Shiqi who surrendered to Qi, rather than being a fan-yang Youshi Kuai Tong who encouraged Han Xin to rebel against the Han Dynasty.

So in Huangfu Song's military camp, Yan Xing also visited Jia Xu every night. It was not only out of Li Ru's instructions, but also mixed with his own selfishness. He tentatively tried to hide his own secrets on the road and hide his clumsy Jia Xu, who finally led to the world's strategy for the first half.

"The two places in Hedong and Yiluo are the fronts, and they will conquer Longyou in the west, gather in Hexi's Jingqin in the south, and gather in Shu County in the south, and the corn in Hanzhong. They will defend the three Qins in Guanzhong. They will advance and retreat freely, attack and defend us, and form a strong Qin force. They will support the great righteousness of the emperor and pacify the rebellion of Guandong in the east, just like Qin sweeping the six kings and Han pacifying the seven kings. Let's ask this, who can't be convinced by the prime minister's military commander, and who can't be defeated by the city."

This is a clear strategy. It was able to put forward such high opinions as early as when Guandong Prefecture and County were debating Dong, which shows the long-term and outstanding gaze of Jia Xu.

Yan Xing didn't know if Jia Xu had mentioned his world strategy to Dong Zhuo later, but from the experience of Jia Xu who returned from his meritorious service as the commander of Pingjin and being squeezed out of the Prime Minister's Mansion by Li Ru, who was afraid of him, it can be seen that Dong Zhuo gradually alienated Jia Xu.

On the contrary, Yan Xing, who was greatly shocked at the time, remembered Jia Xu's world strategy and waited with him, and took advantage of the original intention of taking advantage of the momentum to gradually combine it through practice.

From the original separatist rule of Hedong to the current pursuit of Guanzhong, what Yan Xing has always insisted on is actually Jia Xu's world strategy.

This is why today, Yan Xing, who is in the high position of General Cavalry, still treats Jia Xu very much, as he has the same attitude as before.

Jia Xu also felt that Yan Xing, who was in his prime, was respectful to him, and he couldn't help but feel a little moved.

However, he did not forget his identity as the Hongnong envoy who came here this time. Jia Xu explained Duan Wei's intentions in detail and pointed out the important relationship between Hedong-Hongnong's families that are in harmony and benefiting both sides.

Yan Xing naturally made a promise with a smile on this. His staff had actually had differences in their attitude towards Hongnong Duan Wei. Zhou Liang believed that Duan Wei was cunning and was more cunning than raising a tiger, it would be better to try it as soon as possible and use the emperor's edict to conquer him into the court. If Hongnong refuses, then use this as a reason to send troops from three sides to completely annex Hongnong.

Xi Zhicai suggested that Yan Xing slowly and make plans. He could gradually disintegrate Hongnong's power by transferring Duan Wei out of Hongnong, collecting military power, and conscripting him into the dynasty, and finally implement the purpose of incorporating Hongnong's county into the Sanhe Land.

After much consideration, Yan Xing decided to choose Xi Zhicai's strategy. While taking a slow plan, Yan Xing did not relax his vigilance. He still retained the iron-fisted method of Zhou Liang's three-sided attack and one-shot annexation.

Now Duan Wei also understood his situation and made a choice that was a happy choice for both companies, so it was naturally the best.

Seeing that the mission was achieved, the atmosphere of the conversation in the room became more and more harmonious. When old friends met, Bai Ruxin and the two had a great conversation.

However, after Yan Xing asked Jia Xu for help and expressed his intention to eliminate Jia Xu as the chief of the marching, the atmosphere in the room turned sharply and became a little nervous in an instant.

ps: Some book friends raised questions about Yongzhou, and let me explain again that Yongzhou established by the court in the late Han Dynasty was different from Yongzhou established by Cao Wei. According to the records of "Zizhi Tongjian·Han Ji Fifty-Three", "(the first year of Xingping), the four counties of Hexi were separated by Liangzhou, and they wrote a letter to ask for a separate state. In June, Bingzi, the imperial edict was given to Chenliu Handan Shang as the governor of Yongzhou, and the rule was governed by him." In other words, Yongzhou at the end of the Han Dynasty was actually set up in the four counties of Hexi that divided Liangzhou. In this book, Yongzhou was set up in the fourth year of Chuping.
