Chapter 523: Jia Xu(2/2)
Yan Zhong was filled with enthusiasm. What he saw was Zhang Yang, the nearly 6,000 cavalrymen.
But what he didn't know was that what made Xu An excited was not Zhang Yang, nor the nearly 6,000 cavalrymen who were good at fighting, but Jia Xu himself and the forces of the Jia Xu family.
Because of Wang Xin, Xu An also had a rough understanding of the Liangzhou family.
Jia Xu's ancestors were Jia Yi, the chief tutor of Changsha, the Western Han Dynasty. Jia Yi studied under Zhang Cang, the prime minister of the Western Han Dynasty, and Zhang Cang studied under Xunzi, one of the three giants of Confucianism. Zhang Cang was the closed disciple of Xunzi and his favorite disciple.
Zhang Cang's nephew was Zhang Er, the King of Zhao of the Western Han Dynasty. Coincidentally, Zhang Gui of the Former Liang was a descendant of Zhang Er, who later lived in Wuwei County.
The Jia family is also exactly the same as the Zhang family in the Western Han Dynasty. They lived in Wuwei County for generations. The Jia family in Wuwei County can be regarded as an orthodox Confucian family. If you can say that Jia Xu, you will get half of the Wuwei County.
Yan Zhong and Jia Xu are both from Wuwei County. Although Yan Zhong came from a noble family, he was quite different from Jia Xu.
Although Han Sui nominally occupied Wuwei County, he actually governed it with the Zhang and Jia clans.
If Jia Xu persuades Jia to join Taiping Road, then Wuwei County can be defeated in a battle.
By then, the Yellow Turban Army will occupy the four counties of Wuwei, Northland, Anding and Hanyang, Hansui and Ma Teng, and will be compressed to the south of Jincheng, Longxi and Wudu. There is no way to retreat or escape.
The occupation of Wuwei also cut off the connection between Zhangye County and the southern counties, and two were won by one shot.
By then, Han Sui and Ma Teng will lose even worse, and will let Han Sui and Ma Teng see the situation earlier, and finally step onto the negotiation table and choose to join the Taiping Road, without even the idea of fighting the beasts.
As for the option of Han Sui and Ma Teng joining Dong Zhuo, it actually does not exist at all.
Because even if Han Sui and Ma Teng really reached a consensus and chose to defect to Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo would never agree unless Dong Zhuo is ready to go to full war with the Yellow Turban Army.
In fact, Dong Zhuo has now lost all his aura, indulged in the sensuality, and has completely fallen into depravity.
With the help of Jia, the Yellow Turban Army will be able to capture Wudu County and severely attack Han Sui and Ma Teng.
Getting Jia Xu's favor is undoubtedly another big help.
Jia Xu in history was called a poisonous man by later generations. The Three Kingdoms commented: "Jia Xu has no choice but to make plans, and to make changes after achieving success. His goodness is the best."
It means that the planning is precise and accurate, and has never miscalculated it. It can make changes that adapt to objective situations, know how to adapt to the rules, and never stick to the rules. It is the same type of talent as Zhang Liang and Chen Ping.
It is almost the same as Yan Zhong's comments, and they all say that they have the talents of Zhang Liang and Chen Ping.
In the original time and space, after Wang Yun and Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo, he liquidated the remnants of Liangzhou.
Everyone was panicked and thought they were in a state of death, but Jia Xu was not panicked at all and offered a plan to "counterattack Chang'an".
Most people knew about what happened later. Li Jue and Guo Si were killed and survived, defeated Lu Bu and Xu Rong, and attacked Chang'an all the way and controlled the government.
After the Li Guo Rebellion, Jia Xu rebelled with Zhang Xiu's account again.
Zhang Xiu once defeated Cao Cao twice with his strategy.
Later, Jia Xu persuaded Zhang Xiu to surrender to Cao Cao. After Zhang Xiu surrendered, Cao Cao not only did not retaliate, but even became in-laws with him. In the end, Zhang Xiu died of illness on the way to the north of Wuhuan and was also named the posthumous Marquis of Ding.
Whether it is the hearts of the people and the military strategy, Jia Xu can be said to be very familiar with it.
In the subsequent Battle of Guandu and Battle of Chibi, Jia Xu even decided the winner and lose.
During the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao was obviously a weak side, but Jia Xu believed that Cao Cao would win, and later Guandu was indeed a big victory.
Before the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao obviously had the upper hand and was almost impossible to defeat. However, Jia Xu persuaded Cao Cao that he believed that the people should be appeased and waited for the opportunity. Cao Cao did not adopt Jia Xu's suggestion, but he was defeated in the Battle of Chibi.
Jia Xu is well aware of the hearts of the people and military strategies, and Jia Xu can see clearly the direction of the world's general trend.
Later, Ma Chao and Han Sui raised an army to attack Cao Cao. When Cao Cao fought with him, Jia Xu made a plan to distract Ma Chao and Han Sui's alliance, allowing Cao Cao to pacify the Guanzhong area in one fell swoop.
In determining Cao Cao's heir, Jia Xu took Yuan Shao and Liu Biao as an example and implied that Cao Cao could not abolish the eldest son and establish the young son, thus secretly helping Cao Pi to become the crown prince.
Cao Pi ascended the throne and became the empress, and appointed him as the imperial teacher. In order to repay Jia Xu's kindness, he also appointed Jia Xu as the Grand Marshal and promoted to the title of Marquis of Weishouxiang.
He also appointed his youngest son Jia Fang as the marquis, and appointed his eldest son Jia Mu as the son-in-law.
Throughout his life, Jia Xu made every decision he made was extremely correct and he did not make any mistakes.
But now only Xu An knows all this, knows Jia Xu's talent.
Yan Zhong, who attaches great importance to Jia Xu, believes that he is good and talented, but he just thinks that Jia Xu has potential and talent. He never thought that Jia Xu could actually achieve such a floor in time and space.
Among the counselors from the Three Kingdoms in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Jia Xu could definitely be among the top.
With Jia Xu's help, Taiping Road will definitely move forward faster.
Xu An exhaled a breath of turbid air, from being poor and in the Taihang Mountains, there was no one to discuss, to now Yan Zhong, Xu You, and Jia Xu.
