"Hahaha!"

Jia Xu came back to his senses when he heard the voice and observed the suspicion in Xu Chu and Pang De's eyes. He shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "It seems that Zhongkang Ling Ming has a deep misunderstanding of me, thinking that I am willing to let them go. Isn't that wrong?"

Xu Chu and Pang De changed their expressions when they heard the sound, lowered their heads slightly, and remained silent. This was the default.

Seeing this, Jia Xu took out a stack of letters and silk from his sleeve and smiled and said, "At this time, the lord gave me the order, the two generals might as well see it with their own eyes."

Xu Chu stood up and took the letter and silk with both hands. Pang De followed it up to check, but saw that there were only fourteen words on the letter and silk: "The military advisor was ordered to do things, and the generals followed the words. Li Li."

Xu Chu and Pang De remembered the handwriting of the lord Li Li, and knew the authenticity at a glance.

Therefore, after reading the order, Xu Chu returned it with both hands, looked at Pang De, and said respectfully: "We are aware of the crime and let the military advisor deal with it. The lord's order is here, and we should obey the order of the military advisor!"

Jia Xu smiled and helped the two of them up: "Zhongkang, Ling Ming is loyal to his lord and abides by military discipline. What kind of crime is there? The lord has already strict orders. In the Xiliang border guards, no one can be allowed to mobilize a soldier without permission. The military order is like a mountain, and the two generals follow the order. If I want to mobilize the army, I must present the lord's handwriting, otherwise I will not be able to mobilize troops. This is an iron rule of military rules, no one can be used to usurp the enemy. Violators are considered as ruling. Therefore, the two generals do not have to worry about it. As military advisors, I should set an example. How can I know that the law is violated?"

"The military advisor is generous. We will submit to you." Xu Chu and Pang De said in unison.

Jia Xu smiled and nodded, raised his hand to signal the two to get up and take their seats, and then slowly walked towards the main position with a smile on his face. The moment he turned around, although Jia Xu was full of smiles, he was extremely shocked and deeply moved.

Once upon a time, Jia Xu thought that he was the second only to his lord Li Li in the army, with a high prestige, as if he was below one person and above ten thousand people, and had a transcendent status. The Chang'an Rebellion was planned and personally commanded. He achieved great success and became famous in one battle. Since then, everyone in the world knows that the chief adviser under Li Li of Xiliang was Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe. For this reason, many princes and generals of the hostile forces called him a "poison war". Although the Sili War was first proposed by Guo Jia, he also had a contribution from Jia Xu, and his achievements were second only to Guo Jia. This time, the original sacrifice to the original tomb of Loudi was also a major event he planned, and he began to make a real arrangement three years ago. Until now, the time is ripe. It was not until now that it was ripe. It was officially launched.

Last year, Li Li promoted Guo Jia, who had a low qualification, to serve as the right military advisor. From that moment on, Jia Xu realized that he was too sharp and had to restrain himself, otherwise he would become the target of public criticism sooner or later. Then he deliberately retreated behind the scenes to avoid jealousy, but the facts proved that his lord Li Li had no grudges towards him. He did not doubt him at all, and still remained as an arm. He trusted him as always.

During that period, Jia Xu was deeply confused and could not grasp what position he was in the Xiliang army, and whether he was accused of having great achievements or not. This kind of thought of worrying about gains and losses never found the answer, which made Jia Xu more cautious in his actions, fearing that he would regret it too late.

Jia Xusu came from Xu's planner, believing that the so-called planner is to plan for oneself, settle down and not stand under the wall; the second is to plan for the leader, clearing obstacles for the lord, and growing rapidly; the third is to plan for the world, quell the turbulent times, and achieve success and fame. Therefore, he was cautious in his work, low-key in others, kind to others, and if he didn't take action, he would hit him, and he would not leave any troubles. However, for some reason, he was always inadvertently exposed by Li Liyu. Many times he himself was unaware of this, and he did not wake up until he woke up later.

Before this, Jia Xu was very worried that he would be too conspicuous, one day he would inevitably lead to a disaster, or was suspicious of his lord Li Li, and would not have a good ending. What made him most secret was the army, because the first Xiliang army was planned and carried out by him, thus establishing his prominent position in the army in one fell swoop. For this reason, he always thought that his position was very subtle and dangerous, but he could not control the expansion and growth of the army at all.

However, today's performance of Xu Chu and Pang De surprised Jia Xu, completely uncovering the doubt that he had accumulated in his heart for a long time but could not find the answer. He had never understood why his lord Li Li never had suspicion about him, and always trusted him very much, and repeatedly entrusted important tasks. This question troubled him for a long time, and it was not until now that the answer was found. It turned out that the master of the Western Liang army could make the generals in the army truly follow the orders from beginning to end, that is, the lord Li Li. Although Jia Xu had prestige and outstanding achievements in the army, he could never reach the height of the lord Li Li, and it was impossible to pose a threat to Li Li's command. Therefore, the main generals in the army would not obey him, and naturally would not suspect him, and he would still value him and trust him as always.

After realizing all this and finding the answer that has troubled him for a long time, Jia Xu felt mixed feelings and had a lot of feelings. At the same time, he breathed a deep breath of relief, felt relieved, and felt at ease. He no longer had to think about it tremblingly, nor had he had to be restrained and had many concerns. From then on, he could throw away all his burdens and concerns, let go of his hands and feet, go lightly, show his skills, and display his talents to the fullest.

After eliminating his concerns, Jia Xu looked back at the situation and power structure of the Xiliang army and the prefectures and counties in Xiliang. It was a different scene. The seven masters under the lord Li Li, except for Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin, who were both civil and military, the other six people occupied one side and advanced together, vaguely showing the trend of "horse racing".

Li Xuan and Li Ru, who are known as "Double Li's Free Horse", guarded Jingzhao and Liangzhou, and were in charge of government affairs in Xiliang, focusing on farming, trade, taxation, administration and raising food, supplies and other matters. Jia Xu and Guo Jia were in charge of military affairs, coordinated wars, and planned the strategies and tactics of the various princes; Guo Jia was in charge of the General's Mansion, handled military affairs, and dispatched in the middle; and Jia Xu was in charge of the command and implementation, ensuring that the scheduled plan was foolproof. Zhou Yu led the army to fight, and if necessary, he could be the commander of the central army and take charge of foreign wars. In fact, Li Li led the army to conquer the conquest. Fa Zheng was in Hanzhong, peeking into the southwest, planning Yizhou, and waiting for an opportunity to act. Lusu was in the northern border, governing prefectures and counties, consolidating the foundation of Bingzhou, providing food, supplies and supplies to Teng Xiao, who was guarding the border, and ensuring stability in the northern border.

Judging from the current situation, after the military and political affairs of Bingzhou are on track, Lu Su may leave Bingzhou. After all, the army of Teng Xiao and Zhang Liao are stationed in Bingzhou, and Cui Yan, the other magistrate of Bingzhou, is also a great political talent, who is competent for the position of governor of the state. The reason why Li Li arranged him to assist Lu Su in Bingzhou was to wait until Lu Su was transferred to serve as governor.

This is the layout of government affairs in prefectures and counties, and the defense is more tight in terms of military border guards and wars.

On the west side, Li Jue and Fan Yong presided over the military and political affairs of Yongzhou. They stationed in the border areas of the Western Regions. They gathered heavy troops in Dunhuang County to resist the invasion of the Western Regions.

In the north, Teng Xiao entered Bingzhou and Rong guarded the northern border; Zhang Liao stationed troops in Shangdang, and the tiger looked at Yanzhou and Hebei.

To the southwest, Huang Zhong was in charge of Jiameng Pass, Fa Zheng was appointed as the Hanzhong County Magistrate, and gathered heavy troops in Yangping Guantun. He is now confronting the Yizhou army, and the two sides are at a strife. The war is about to begin.

To the east, Bo Cai was stationed in Tongguan. Xu Huang, the general under the tent, stationed troops in Anyi, camped in Hedong, but stationed troops in Henoi, staring at Yanzhou. Gaoshun guarded Hangu Pass, and Qinglong Camp stationed in Xingyang, and was at the forefront of Sili. Once the order to advance came, he could send troops to capture Luoyang and recover the entire Sili territory.

Nowadays, the Xiliang Army is strong, full of talents, military generals, and strategists. Not to mention military generals, there are dozens of outstanding strategic people among the civil officials and strategists. No one can surpass the wise men and lead them alone. A prominent position above ten thousand people will eventually be seated, but it is still unknown who the person is, and he is temporarily waiting for a position. Only when the Central Plains is pacified will the person surface and reveal the mystery.

—————————————————————

Looking back at the military and political layout of the four prefectures of Xiliang, Jia Xu suddenly realized that a huge rock pressed on his heart was finally moved away, and his unstable heart also fell, and he felt very calm.

After calming down his thoughts, Jia Xu picked up a bamboo slip from the table and said to Xu Chu and Pang De with a smile: "This is a summary of the war in Hanzhong that was transferred recently. Fa Zheng mentioned something in the book. The lord made a loss-making deal in Hanzhong to compensate the death soldiers in Yizhou for 30,000 gold, and squandered the victory of the battle at Yangping Pass. Hahaha!"

Amid the laughter, Jia Xu changed his tone: "But I thought this compensation was definitely a stroke of magic. It seems to be of no effect at the moment, but the subsequent value is incalculable. Therefore, Fengxiao, Yuanzhong, and Wenyou agreed with this matter and agreed to the expenses and then returned 30,000 yuan from the income seized by our army to serve as taxes in Hanzhong. However, the Hanzhong war has ended now, and there is no war in each battalion, and the entire army will rest. Therefore, this huge deficit will fall on your Qinglong Camp. Do you have any objections to this?"

"Ah!" Xu Chu and Pang De were shocked, stood up with a "scarlet" sound, staring at Jia Xu in a daze, with both anger and fear in their eyes, and the eyes of looking at Jia Xu were filled with the smell of revenge for officials.

"Thirty thousand gold, that is 30 million Wuzhu coins. In the past six months, there has been no war in my Qinglong Camp, so naturally it has not been seized. There is no workshop under my jurisdiction, and there is no wanton exploitation of business travelers. How can there be such a large amount of money? Could it be that the military advisor deliberately made things difficult for the last general?" Xu Chu asked indignantly.

Pang De said in a gang speech: "What General Zhongkang said is very true. The food and supplies of the soldiers of our camp were all supplied by the prefect of Hongnong Xun Chen. He had no remaining money at all. The military advisor asked for 30,000 gold from our camp, which was indeed a embarrassment for me to wait."

Jia Xu was confused and looked shocked. After a while, he realized that Xu Chu and Pang De mistakenly thought that Jia Xu deliberately made things difficult for them and openly asked for a bribe. Suddenly, Jia Xu laughed: "Hahaha! What are you two thinking? Are you Jia Wenhe who accepts bribes at will? Even if I am so bold? You two don't have to be bitter, as if I am a hungry wolf who eats people and doesn't swallow bones."

While speaking, Jia Xu got up and walked to the door of the tent, and said with a smile: "To be honest, I came to Xingyang Camp for the group of people in the valley south, and raised some money to make up for the deficit of the lord's previous expedition to fight Hanzhong. Otherwise, the soldiers of the Shufeng Camp, Wushuang Iron Cavalry, and the third camp of Qingong Camp are like you two now, and they are bitter all day long, as if anyone owes money and doesn't pay it back. They have a deep grudge. As for, it's just 30,000 gold, what a big deal. Just as Jia stretches out his finger, he can get it."

"Uh? If you stretch your finger, you will get 30,000 gold. Then, the military advisor stretched out his finger a few more times and asked me to make some money. As long as you can pay back 30,000 gold!" Xu Chu looked straight at Jia Xu's chubby fingers, and his Adam's apple surgingly swallowed his mouth and said with a hurried look.

Jia Xu immediately pointed to the valley in the distance and smiled and said, "Thirty thousand golds are there, and you can lead your troops to take them tonight."

"Ah! Those are a bunch of poor people who are so poor that they don't even have clothes. They are even poorer than us. How could they have 30,000 gold?" Xu Chu stared at the valley pointing to by Jia Xu, and said without hesitation.

Jia Xu laughed happily: "Zhongkang, have you forgotten who they are? Indeed, they don't even have clothes to wear now, but this does not mean they don't have gold, silver and fine softness. I remember that I mentioned to you before that these people brought more than a dozen boxes of gold, silver and fine softness, and every thing in the box was worth a lot of money, at least a hundred gold, or at most a priceless treasure. If the news I got was correct, then each of these dozen big boxes was worth more than 30,000 gold. The lord squandered 30,000 gold in Hanzhong, and we naturally wanted to make the money back for the lord, so it was a blessing that you two led your troops to take back the boxes."

Speaking of this, Jia Xu reminded with a serious expression: "Remember, I only need the gold, silver and fineness in the box, and I didn't let you catch them. In addition, try not to hurt them, just drive them away, just rob money and not kill people. Another thing I want to remind you two, the defenders of Xingyang Camp did not find their whereabouts, but they were unfortunately caught by the robbers who blocked the road, that's all. How about it, can you two do it? Regardless of whether it can be done or not, you must start immediately. The lord's handwriting is here. If you can't do this, you two don't have to lead troops to fight. You can go to the stable to raise horses. You can't even step into the barracks within half a year!"

"No, we will accept the order!" Seeing Jia Xu's gloomy face, Xu Chu and Pang De dared not say more, and bowed to respond.

"Well, I'll wait for your good news." Jia Xu nodded slightly, turned around and walked into the tent with his hands behind his back.

Watching Jia Xu walk into the inner room for a nap, Xu Chu stuttered: "The military advisor is really worthy of being a 'poison soldier'. He speaks with a smile, which makes people mistakenly think that he is very kind and easy to talk to, but in fact his methods are really extremely vicious! If you don't catch them, don't catch them. You even asked us to pretend to be robbers and rob them. But even though it was a robber, they insisted on saying it was 'take'. These literati are really."

Pang De said deeply: "I offended the military advisor this time, so I have to be careful in the future. Maybe it will fall into his hands at any time, and that will be miserable!"

"Well, what Ling Ming said is reasonable." Xu Chu nodded in response and said solemnly: "This poisonous man is full of tricks. We can't fight him even if we tie him together. It's better to be careful, otherwise one day I will hit him and I will cry without tears!"
