Chapter 110: The First Strategist of the Three Kingdoms (Part II)! (1/3)

Jia Xu's domineering spirit is reflected in the words of General Fubo Ma Yuan. Shushu.com is the fastest updated

"In today's world, not only the king chooses the minister, but the minister also chooses the king."

As the "post-Warring States era" of Chinese history, the criteria for choosing the master of the Three Kingdoms scholars are no different from the pre-Qin intellectuals who are divided in the world, so Xun, Guo Jia, Dong Zhao and other strategists have abandoned Yuan and joined Cao, Guan Yu is not betraying the master, and the Zhuge brothers are loyal to their masters in Eastern Wu and Shu Han.

If this is the general rule.

But Jia Xu provided an exception: Liu Biao and Zhang Xiu, who he took refuge in, turned out to be quite despised in his heart.

Duan Xuan respects Jia Xu on the surface, but is jealous in his heart, because Jia Xu is "well-known" and has a very high prestige among the soldiers, Duan Xuan is afraid that Jia Xu will take the lead.

The timing and reason for Jia Xu's departure from Duan Xuan are also very subtle, and he said: "Simmering is suspicious, there is a sense of taboo, although the etiquette is thick, it cannot be trusted, and it will be planned for a long time." I will be happy when I go, and I hope that I will marry a great helper, and I will be kind to my wife. If there is no mastermind in embroidery, and if you are willing to be praised, your family and body will be complete. ”

The result is not bad in the slightest.

As for Liu Biao, Jia Xu's evaluation is also both accurate and mean: "If the world is peaceful and peaceful, Liu Biao can be ranked as the third public, but in today's troubled times, he is so unsightly and suspicious, he is destined to be a person who does nothing." “

Jia Xu and Zhang Xiu have the best relationship, as early as Chang'an, Zhang Xiu intended to draw Jia Xu into the account, as soon as Jia Xu secretly came to vote, he immediately obeyed his words.

The strange thing is that the reason why Jia Xu defected to Zhang Xiu was not only because of Zhang Xiu's open arms, but also because of such a judgment:

"Zhang Xiu, a master without a head."

With Jia Xu's talent, on the premise of clearly seeing that Zhang Xiu has no great future, he is still resolutely committed to Zhang Xiu's account, the pearl is in the dark, and the dragon is in the ravine, which can quite speculate on Jia Xu's true intentions.

He loves strategy, and he needs a field where his talent can run wild.

If strategy is a kind of beauty, and it is related to the bad idea he unbelievably came up with for Li and Guo Yan back then, then Jia Xu is just understood by us as such an aesthete: as long as his plan is useful, he doesn't care about the discoloration of the country.

Seeing this, it is the most logical thing for Jia Xu to take refuge in Zhang Xiu instead of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.

Cao Cao's subordinates are like a cloud, and he himself is full of scheming, and Jia Xu is destined to stand out from the crowd there.

Yuan Shao seems to be powerful, but this person has great ambition and talent, and he has a strange and fatal weakness: as long as it is beneficial to him, he will not adopt any schemes.

Liu Biao doesn't talk about him, and Yuan Shu, who is good at dreaming of being an emperor, lacks the character of a humble corporal, and Jia Xu is destined to not be able to live calmly.

Jia Xu had a grudge against Lu Bu, and Liu Bei, who was weak at the time, of course couldn't enter Jia Xu's field of vision, and Liu Bei had always had a close relationship with Lu Bu.

Everyone mentions the defeat that Cao Cao has suffered in his life, and will not fail to mention "Wancheng Battle Zhang Xiu", which is also the most miserable battle lost by Boss Cao, the eldest son Cao Ang and the intimate fierce general Dian Wei were killed one after another, and the big Wanliang horse he rode "Jueying" was also killed by an arrow, which can be said to be extremely embarrassing.

There is no doubt that Cao Cao actually lost to Jia Xu in this battle.

Jia Xu later won another round against Cao Cao, although that battle did not have much strategic significance, but it was extremely magical, so that Cao Cao could be used as a textbook to ponder and study the retreat of Cao's army, Zhang Xiu was eager to lead the army to catch up.

Jia Xu stopped him again and again, but Zhang Xiu didn't listen.

The unscrupulous Zhang Xiu will inevitably think: fighting with Cao Cao, and being able to force him to retreat, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

However, if he did not listen to the words of the strategists, he was doomed to failure, and Zhang Xiu's pursuers were defeated and lost by Cao Cao's troops and fled back in embarrassment.

The embroidery said: "There is no need to say it, if you fail." ”

Zhang Xiu sincerely apologized to Jia Xu.

He said: "Today, you can organize your troops and chase after it." ”

Embroidered and watched: "Now that I have been defeated, how can I chase again?" ”

He said: "If you chase it this time, you will win a big victory; If not, behead me. ”

Zhang Xiu believed Jia Xu's words.

In the second pursuit, Zhang Xiu made a great gain and killed Cao Cao to the ground.

Not only was Cao Cao extremely puzzled by his defeat, but Zhang Xiu and Liu Biao were also suspicious and asked Jia Xu why the victorious army failed, and then pursued the victory after defeat.

Jia Xu said: "This is easy to know. Although the general is good at using soldiers, he is not Cao Cao's opponent. Although the Cao army is defeated, there will be strength for the apse to prevent the pursuing soldiers; Although our soldiers are sharp, they cannot be defeated: so we know that we will be defeated. Those who are anxious to withdraw from the army will have something to do because of the promise; After breaking my pursuers, they will return as quickly as possible, and they will not be prepared; I took advantage of its unpreparedness and chased it even more: so I can win. ”

The reason why the Three Kingdoms are so wise is that they rely on the flow of Jia Xu.

When the two major military groups of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao eliminated the princes one after another, although the world did not become peaceful, the situation became much clearer.

Under the clamp of the two giant claws of Cao and Yuan, it became an imminent matter for Zhang Xiu to take refuge in Yuan Shao or Cao Cao.

The reasons for taking refuge in Yuan Shao seem to be self-evident, one is that Yuan is strong and Cao is weak, and the other is that Zhang Xiu has a grudge against Cao Cao for killing his son.

So, when Yuan Shao took the initiative to send an envoy to surrender, Zhang Xiu, a person without foresight, naturally invaded and took refuge in Yuan Shao.

Jia Xu suddenly flashed from behind the scenes at this time and said: "Thank you Yuan Benchu for your kindness for me, and then convey such a sentence: A person who is not even compatible with his brother Yuan Shu cannot achieve great things." General Zhang, thank you for not being sensitive! “

Zhang Xiu was shocked: "Fang Jin, Yuan is strong, Cao is weak; Today's destruction of the book, if Yuan Shao arrives, what should it be? ”

Jia Xu said: "Just it." ”

Xiu said: "I have a grudge against Cao first, and I am compatible?" ”

Xu said: "There are three from the: Fu Cao Gong served the edict of the Son of Heaven and conquered the world, and it was appropriate to follow one; Shao is strong, I take less from it, I will not take me as the priority, although the is weak, I will be happy, and it should be from the two; The ambition of Cao Gong and Wang Ba will release personal grievances, and Mingde will be in the four seas, and it should be from the three. May the general be undoubted. ”

Embroider from his words, please Liu Ye to meet.

Ye Sheng called Cao De, and said: "If the prime minister remembers old grudges, Anken makes a certain general to marry a good general?" ”

Embroidered Daxi, that is, he went to Xu with Jia Xu and others to surrender.

Embroidery see the exercise, worship at the bottom of the stairs.

Hurriedly helped him up, held his hand and said: "If there is a small mistake, don't take it to heart." ”

Then Feng Xiu was the general of Yangwu, and Feng Jiaxu was the envoy of the Jinwu.

Sure enough, Cao Cao seemed to have completely forgotten the deep enmity he had with Zhang Xiu back then, and personally led the crowd out of the city to greet him, giving Zhang Xiu a very high courtesy.

The reason why Jia Xu is willing to take risks is because he correctly understands the situation in the world and sees through Cao Cao's inner thoughts, such a clever strategic decision is rare in the Three Kingdoms era, and Jia Xu deserves to be the first strategist of the Three Kingdoms.

At this point, Jia Xu's life channel entered another relatively calm sea.

Although he was one of Cao Cao's advisors, he still offered advice from time to time, especially in the process of Cao Cao's conquest of Ma Chao and Han Sui, Jia Xu made great contributions.

But on the whole, the meaning of Jia Xu's fading out of the rivers and lakes is becoming more and more obvious.

For Cao's father and son, Jia Xu could have made miraculous achievements: Cao Cao and Cao Pi attacked Eastern Wu twice, but they all failed, and the Battle of Chibi greatly damaged Cao Cao's vitality.

Jia Xu had foreseen the opportunity and admonished him, but Cao Cao did not understand the current affairs and failed to adopt Jia Xu's advice, which directly led to a military defeat and created conditions for the three-legged stand.

Jia Xu has always been obscure, and he easily does not say a word.

Jia Xu in his later years was especially obedient, he closed his door and refused to travel; In order to eliminate the suspicion of others, he dealt with the marriage of his children and tried his best to avoid clinging to famous families, which shows Jia Wenhe's clear understanding of the power change, and the so-called meritorious town lord is this truth.

Despite this, in the process of Cao Cao's establishment of the crown prince, in the process of Cao Pi and Cao Zhi's brothers fighting for power, Jia Xu, who stood on Cao Pi's side, still played an important role with his own strategy.

When Cao Pi, who was a general in the five senses at that time, asked Jia Xu for advice on the prince's favor technique, Jia Xu said: "May the general restore his virtue, bow to the cultivation of a scholar, work diligently day and night, and do not violate the way of the son, that's all." “

Just such a seemingly unrealistic remark made Cao Pi change his mind from then on, temper himself, and finally win Cao Cao's favor.

Previously, Cao Cao had also deliberately retired from everyone and asked Jia Xu about the establishment of the prince.

Jia Xu looked embarrassed and deliberately did not answer.

"Why doesn't the gentleman know about it?" Cao Cao asked again.

"No, I just suddenly remembered two people."

"Who?"

"Yuan Shao and Liu Biao".

Jia Xu is not only strategic, but also very good at handling the relationship between father and son. “

Jia Xu's seemingly casual answer may have played a decisive role in promoting the final establishment of Cao Wei's regime.

As we all know, Yuan Shao and Liu Biaozheng did not properly handle the issue of inheritance, and after their deaths, they made their brothers fall apart.

Jia Xu showed Cao Cao the lessons of the past, and finally made Cao Cao make up his mind and make Cao Pi the crown prince.

Such a subtle and sonorous quotation and argument is stronger than a painstaking tongue I don't know how many times, Jia Xu's strategy has reached the realm of "talking and laughing, and the canopy is wiped out".

When Emperor Wen of Wei Cao Pi was in power, Jia Xu, who had made great contributions to the world, was entrusted with the important task of Tai Lieutenant.

However, Jia Xu is old, he is just like a hermit who is hidden in the court, and he still lives a quiet life.

The evil sower and the zealer of strategy finally died peacefully at the age of seventy-seven with a look of high morality and respect.

According to the standards of "people over fifty are not called dead" and "life is rare for seventy years" at that time, Jia Xu can really be said to be longer than Nanshan.

As a strategist, Jia Xu truly took the pursuit of perfection as his own responsibility, he followed the development of the situation, judged the situation, changed the power, acted with the sky, and chose the master.

Survived in the cracks and was at ease, succumbing to the arrangement of fate and going through power and change, until the good death, Jia Xu's attainments in power change and strategy can be said to have reached the realm of the unity of heaven and man.

It should be pointed out that because Chen Shou was close to the turbulent era of the Three Kingdoms, he was able to feel and understand the spirit of the non-moralized era of that era, and he could look at the heroism and aestheticism of that era with a praising and affirmative eye.

Later, Pei Songzhi of the Southern Dynasty was unable to recognize Jia Xu's so-called "moralizing" behavior because he felt the resurgence of moralism in his time due to the confrontation with the foreign regime in the north, and made his own moralizing interpretation of Xun and others.

And it was precisely because Jia Xu himself got rid of the shackles of morality that he gained spiritual freedom and became the first strategist of the Three Kingdoms.

At this time, Cao Cao looked at the first strategist of the Three Kingdoms in front of him, but he couldn't guess why he had this request....
