Chapter 456: Envy, Jealousy, and Hate (Gal. 7)
"I have heard for a long time that Mr. Jia is resourceful and powerful. Now that someone is trapped here, does Mr. Jia have a clever plan to save someone? "After welcoming Niu Fu and you into the big tent, Li Wei and the three of them sat opposite Niu Fu and Jia Xu in two rows, and vacated the main seat. And the first to speak was naturally Li Dao, the eldest of the three lieutenants.
Jia Xu secretly glanced at Niu Fu, who had a gloomy face, smiled, and gave Niu Fu a slightly calm look - when they met, Li Ji, Fan Chou, and Zhang Ji did not give Niu Fu a salute, and when they were seated before, the three of them did not invite Niu Fu to sit in the right seat. In this case, Niu Fu couldn't help but be angry in his heart - Jia Xu looked at the three people in front of him, stroked his small goatee and said, "The three of them have surrendered to the imperial court? I wonder if the decree has come to this? If the decree has not arrived, the old man can say a few more words; If the decree has arrived, please let the three generals go away. β
After Jia Xu's words, the three of them were shocked: it was indeed a 'ghost fox' with vicious eyes, and his name was well deserved! After the three of them glanced at each other twice, Li Dao said: "Don't hide it, sir, I was desperate before, and I did send someone to ask the court for a pardon." Seven days have passed, but there has been no news. I also hope that Mr. Pian and others are all in the Xiliang lineage, and use the wisdom of Tongtian to guide a certain clear road. β
"Since the holy decree has not arrived, the old man has the courage to say a few words, and the military power is regarded as an over-the-top gossip. If there is anything wrong, I hope the general will not be surprised. Jia Xu took a sip of the liquor in front of him, feeling that the wine was too bland, and couldn't help but drink more, and after seeing that the three of them didn't dare to, he continued: "The general begged for a pardon, which is also a way to survive." If the court agrees, you are the kings of the court, and the Han Dynasty is now in turmoil, the princes are divided, and the generals have heavy troops, so the court will naturally use high-ranking officials to envelop them......."
When the three of them heard Jia Xu say this, their faces couldn't help but show a hint of joy. dreamed that he would eat and drink spicy food in the future and recreate the glory of Dong Zhuo when he was alive, of course, he was a little overjoyed. But Jia Xu's next sentence made them a little confused.
"However, listening to what General Li said, the imperial court has not issued a pardon decree for seven days, presumably it will not be pardoned again at the age of one year." Jia Fox was such a wise person, from the demeanor of these people, he could see at a glance that they had received the holy decree. Only then did the conversation turn around, trying to fool them into not being able to find the east, west, north and south.
"Why did you say that, sir?" Zhang Ji couldn't help it at this time, but he still maintained his respect for Jia Xu, and after raising his glass, he said: "This year, the imperial court has issued two amnesty decrees, one is in the first month of that year, and Dong Taishi gave amnesty to the world; Another time was the month before last, after Wang Yun and Lu Bu assassinated Dong Taishi, they also announced to the princes and granted amnesty to the world. That's already twice. Why does the gentleman say that he will not be pardoned at the age of one year? β
After Jia Xu drank Zhang Ji's toast, he saw the other two, even Niu Fu looking at him intently. couldn't help but slow down his movements, took another bite of food, and whetted everyone's appetite before he spoke: "What the old man said is not referring to this age, but to the generals!" β
"How?" Fan Chou is actually the most politically minded person among the three, but this person is cautious by nature and doesn't want to show his head for anything. But at this time, after hearing Jia Xu say that it was a matter of life and death, he no longer pursued his golden mean. With some trembling, he asked, "Sir, but you said that the state is .......?"
Jia Xu didn't wait for Fan Chou to finish speaking, he nodded directly, interrupted Fan Chou and said, "Yes, it is those soldiers who have joined the state." β
Speaking of which, Li Dao and Zhang Ji knew what was going on. It turned out that at the time of Dong Zhuo's ambush, at this time, Li Dao and Guo Yan were in Zhongmu to conquer Zhu Jun, and they had already broken Zhu Jun's rabble, took his base in Zhongmu, and took advantage of the situation to sweep the two counties of Yingchuan and Chenliu to the east, killing along the way, and slaughtering everywhere they passed.
But when they were enjoying killing, news suddenly came - their beloved Dong Zhuo and Dong Taishi were killed!
Who killed Master Dong?
It was Wang Yun and Lu Bu, who were from Bingzhou.
So Li Dao and Guo Yan were angry and killed the Bingzhou people in their army, a total of thousands of men and women - the Bingzhou soldiers originally belonged to Lu Bu, Dong Zhuo did not trust the Bingzhou soldiers, and scattered them into his own Liangzhou Army, only retaining Lu Bu's main force and the Bingzhou wolf cavalry troops, so Li Dao and Guo Yan's army also had some Bingzhou people.
"Sir, how can these thousands of soldiers be worth more than 70,000 elite soldiers under a certain rank? Which is more important, how can the court not see it? Li Dao began to be a little worried: if someone else said this, Li Dao would definitely laugh and give up. However, when these words came out of Jia Xu's mouth, the meaning was not quite the same.
And his words also expressed the hearts of Fan Chou and Zhang Ji. The two of them had long forgotten to drink and eat at this time, and they just looked at Jia Xu in a daze, looking much more urgent than before! At this time, Niu Fu's face gradually showed joy, but he also looked at Jia Xu with a confused look, looking forward to Jia Xu answering questions.
This time, Jia Xu didn't whet everyone's appetite anymore, but asked Li Dao rhetorically: "Does the general know what official position Lu Bu is now?" β
"General Fenwu?!" When Li Dao answered, there were inquiries, suspicions, disdain, and even more jealousy.
"That's right, not only from the second rank of the Fenwu general, but also from the fake festival, the same three divisions, Feng Wenhou!" Jia Xu threw this bombshell suddenly, expecting to see the disbelief and stunned looks of these people.
But as a result, Jia Xu was disappointed. In addition to Niu Fu's shocked look, Li Dao, Fan Chou, and Zhang Ji all looked dazed and ignorant. Jia Xu reacted immediately: these three people are just small shrimps at the level of captains, and they simply don't know anything about the etiquette of regular court officials!
Therefore, Jia Xu sighed and remembered what Ma Chao said: hooligans are not scary, but they are afraid that hooligans are educated! In Jia Xu's eyes, Ma Chao is a literate hooligan. As for these three uneducated hooligans, Jia Xu only had to go through a lot of words to explain: "The fake festival is to give the charm festival on behalf of the emperor, and for those who violate the military law, they have the power to cut first and then play;
The 'Three Princes' refer to the 'Three Princes' such as Taiwei, Situ, and Sikong, and the 'Three Princes' are the members of the imperial court and the highest goal of the world's corporals and officials. Lu Bu is a martial artist and can't be the third duke. Therefore, the 'Yi Tong Three Divisions', that is, the official position, power and subordinate officials and staff are all like the three princes, and they enjoy the treatment of the 'three publics'.
The last is the feudal marquis, and Lu Bu's 'Wen Hou' is the county marquis with the highest title in the Han Dynasty, which means that Lu Bu can enjoy the food of a county in addition to Lu! β
"What?" At this time, Li Dao, Fan Chou, and Zhang Ji reacted, all of them looked a little unable to believe their ears. Even the chopsticks in his hand fell to the ground, and he was still unconscious. Until Li Wei, who reacted quickly, finally exclaimed: "This thief is so gracious?!" The court is not blind!! β
Jia Xu didn't move his voice, so that he tasted this bland and five-flavored water wine again, and finally tasted the wine: the court was not blind, but had already become a living dead man with no hands, no feet, no eyes and no ears. Only the face that is hard to hold is left, waiting for Youer and these reckless men to tear it with their own hands! .......
"Military advisor, what does it have to do with Lu Bu's favor and the imperial court's refusal to pardon these people?" Li Dao, Fan Chou, and Zhang Ji were still immersed in absolute jealousy of Lu Bu at this time, and Niu Fu couldn't help but ask. When the three of them heard this question, their eyes were like flames, staring at Jia Xu with burning eyes, expecting his answer.
And Li Wei even touched his hand to his waist, he was waiting, and after Jia Xu said an obviously looped answer, he immediately cut Jia Xu! ββThe holy decree of forgiveness is already in the hands of Lao Tzu, but you have come to bewitch the people! Lu Bu can get such a holy favor, and the soldiers and horses in the hands of a certain class are several times that of Lu Bu, wouldn't they even want to ascend to the sky?! Jia Lao'er, you pray that you had better make up that demon story round!
