"Hehehe!"

Jia Xu came back to his senses when he heard this, and keenly observed the suspicion in Xu Chu and Pang De's eyes, and suddenly he shook his head slightly, and said with a smile: "It seems that Zhong Kang and Ling Ming have a deep misunderstanding of the old man, thinking that the old man has a heart for the Han family and intends to let them go." The old man is not wrong, right? ”

Xu Chu and Pang De changed their complexions when they heard this, lowered their heads slightly, and were silent. This is the default.

Seeing this, Jia Xu took out a stack of letters from his sleeve and said with a smile: "At this time, the lord gave me the warrant, and the two generals might as well take a look at it with their own eyes." ”

Xu Chu got up and took the letter with both hands, and Pang De came up to inspect it, but saw that there were only 14 words on the letter: "The military advisor acts according to orders, and the generals carry out according to their words." Li Li. ”

Regarding the handwriting of the lord Li Li, Xu Chu and Pang De knew it by heart, and they knew the authenticity at a glance.

Therefore, after reading the warrant, Xu Chu returned it with both hands, glanced at Pang De, and said respectfully: "We are guilty and let the military advisor deal with it." The Lord's decree is here, and we should obey the orders of the military commander! ”

Jia Xu smiled and helped the two of them up: "Zhong Kang and Ling Ming are loyal to the lord and abide by military discipline, what a crime." The lord has already strictly ordered that all the troops on the border of our western Liang garrison, except in the event of a sudden war, shall not be ordered by the lord, and no one shall mobilize a single soldier without authorization. The military order is like a mountain, the two generals follow the order, and the old man must also show the lord's edict if he wants to mobilize the army, otherwise he must not mobilize the soldiers and horses. This is an iron law of military regulations, no one is allowed to trespass, and violators will be regarded as treason. Therefore, the two generals don't have to mind, the old man, as a military advisor, should lead by example, how can he know the law and break the law? ”

"The military advisor is magnanimous. I'll wait. Xu Chu and Pang De said in unison.

Jia Xu smiled, raised his hand to signal the two to get up and take their seats, and then slowly walked to the main seat with a smile on his face. The moment he turned around. Although Jia Xu was full of smiles, he was extremely shocked and deeply touched in his heart.

Once upon a time, Jia Xu thought that he was the second only to the lord Li Li in the army, and his prestige was extremely high, as if he was above 10,000 people under one person, and his status was transcendent. The Chang'an Rebellion was planned and personally commanded by him. The battle record is brilliant, and he became famous in the first battle, and since then everyone in the world knows that the chief strategist under the command of Xiliang Li Li is his Jia Xu Jia Wenhe. For this reason, many princes and generals of hostile forces secretly called him a "poisoner". Although the Sili War was first proposed by Guo Jia, it also had a share of his merits, and his merits were second only to Guo Jia. The matter of the original mausoleum in Loudi is also a major event planned by him, and he began to lay out it as early as three years ago. Until now the time is ripe. The implementation has just been officially launched.

Last year, Li Li promoted Guo Jia, who was still young, to be the right army division, and from that moment Jia Xu realized that he was too sharp, and he had to be restrained, otherwise he would become the target of the public sooner or later. He then deliberately retreated into the background to avoid attracting jealousy, but it turned out that the lord Li Li had no grudge against him. I didn't suspect him at all, and I still relied on him. Trust as always.

During that period of time, Jia Xu was deeply puzzled, and he couldn't figure out what kind of position he was in in the Xiliang Army, and whether he was suspected of being a master of high merit. This kind of thinking of suffering from gains and losses has not been able to find an answer, which makes Jia Xu more and more cautious, lest it be too late to regret one mistake.

Jia Xusu comes from the mastermind of the scheme, and believes that one of the so-called plotters is to seek oneself, live in peace, and not stand under the wall; the second is the mastermind, who removes obstacles for the lord and grows rapidly; The third is to seek the world, calm the troubled times, and achieve fame. Therefore, he is cautious, low-key, and kind to others. However, for some reason, he was always inadvertently exposed by Li Li's imperial envoys, and many times he himself was unaware of it, and he didn't wake up until afterwards.

Before that, Jia Xu was very worried that he was too conspicuous, and one day he would definitely cause a big disaster, or he would be suspicious of the lord Li Li and would not die well. And what made him the most secretive was the army, because he planned and was responsible for the implementation of the first Xiliang army reorganization, which established his prominent position in the army in one fell swoop. For this reason, he has always thought that his position is very delicate and dangerous, but he is helpless, and he cannot control the expansion and growth of the army at all.

However, today's expressions of Xu Chu and Pang De surprised Jia Xu again, completely revealing the doubts that he had been backlogged in his heart for a long time but could not find an answer. He has always wondered why the lord Li Li has never been suspicious of him, has always trusted him so much, and has repeatedly entrusted him with important tasks, this question has troubled him for a long time, and he has not found an answer until this moment. It turned out that there was only one person who was the master of the Xiliang Army and could make the generals in the army truly obey their orders from beginning to end, and that was the lord Li Li. Although he Jia Xu has a lot of prestige in the army and has outstanding achievements, he will never be able to reach the height of the lord Li Li, and it is impossible to pose a threat to Li Li's commander-in-chief. Therefore, the main generals in the army will not obey him, and the lord Li Li will naturally not be suspicious of him, and will always reuse him and trust him.

After experiencing this qiē and finding the answer that had troubled him for a long time, Jia Xu really had mixed feelings in his heart. At the same time, he also breathed a deep sigh of relief, relieved, and calm, no longer had to tremble and think about the past and after, and there was no need to have many scruples with restraints. From then on, he can throw away all his baggage and concerns, let go of his hands and feet, travel lightly, show his talents, and display his talents to the fullest.

After eliminating his worries, Jia Xu looked back at the shape and power structure of the Xiliang Army and the states and counties of Xiliang, Huo Ran was a different scene. The seven masterminds under the command of the lord Li Li, except for Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin, who are both civil and military, the other six people are on their own side, and they go hand in hand, faintly showing the trend of "horse racing".

Li Xuan and Li Ru, who have the name of "Shuangli Bijia", sit in Jingzhao and Liangzhou, take charge of the government affairs of Xiliang, and focus on farming, trade, taxation, government management, and raising grain and grass and other affairs. Jia Xu and Guo Jia were in charge of military affairs, coordinated the war, and planned the strategy and tactics to eliminate the princes from all walks of life; Guo Jia sits in the General's Mansion, handles military affairs, and dispatches in the center; And he is in charge of directing the specific implementation and ensuring that the plan is foolproof. Zhou Yu commanded the army to fight, and if necessary, he could be the commander of the Chinese army, and take charge of foreign wars. In fact, it was an indispensable arm in the conquest of Li Li's army. Fa Zheng sat in Hanzhong, peeking into the southwest and planning Yizhou. Wait for the opportunity. Lu Su sat in northern Xinjiang, governed the prefectures and counties, consolidated the foundation of the state, provided grain and grass for Teng Xiao, who was guarding the border fortress, and ensured the stability of northern Xinjiang.

Judging from the current situation, after the military and political affairs of the annexation state are on the right track, it is possible that Lu Su will leave the annexation state. After all, Teng Xiao and Zhang Liao's army are stationed in Bingzhou, and Cui Yan, the commander of Bingzhou, is also a great political talent, enough to be qualified for the post of state assassin. And the reason why Li Li arranged him to assist Lu Su in Bingzhou. The purpose is to wait for Lu Su to be transferred and he will take over the assassin history.

This is the layout of the state and county government affairs, and the army has been deployed more closely in terms of border garrison and warfare.

To the west, Li Dao and Fan Yong presided over the military administration of Yongzhou. Garrisoned on the border of the Western Regions. Gather heavy troops in Dunhuang County to resist the invasion of the Western Regions.

In the north, Teng Xiao was stationed in Bingzhou and guarded the northern frontier; Zhang Liaotun went to the party and looked down on Yanzhou and Hebei.

In the southwest, Huang Zhong sat in Jiameng Pass, Fa Zheng led the Hanzhong County Guard, and gathered heavy troops in Yangping Pass. At present, they are facing off from afar with the Yizhou army, and the two sides are tense. The Great War is on the verge of breaking out.

In the east, Bocai was stationed in Tongguan, and the general Xu Huang was stationed in Anyi, and camped in Hedong but Chen soldiers were in Hanoi, eyeing Yanzhou. Gaoshun Town guards Hangu Pass, Qinglong Battalion is stationed in Xingyang, and is at the forefront of Sili, once the order to march comes, you can send troops to capture Luoyang and recover the entire territory of Sili.

Nowadays, the Xiliang Army can be described as strong and strong, full of talents, generals like clouds, and strategists like rain. Not to mention the military generals, there are dozens of people with outstanding strategies among the civil servants and strategists, and no one can dominate the sages and dominate the leader. There will eventually be people sitting in prominent positions above 10,000 people under one person, but who they are is is still unknown, and the position is temporarily vacant. Only when the Central Plains is pacified will it be possible for it to surface and unravel the mystery.

—————————— small dividing lines——————————

Looking back on the military and political layout of the four states of Xiliang, Jia Xu suddenly became enlightened, and a boulder pressed on his heart finally moved away, and his suspended heart also fell, and his heart was settled.

After gathering his thoughts, Jia Xu picked up a roll of bamboo slips from the table, and said to Xu Chu and Pang De with a smile: "This is a summary of the Hanzhong war that was recently forwarded, and Fa Zheng mentioned one thing in the book, the lord made a loss-making deal in Hanzhong, compensated the dead soldiers in Yizhou with 30,000 gold, and squandered the battle of Yangping Pass. Hehehe! ”

In the midst of laughter, Jia Xu changed his words: "But I think this compensation is definitely a stroke of genius, and it seems that it has no effect at present, but the follow-up value is immeasurable." Therefore, I agreed with Fengxiao, Yuanzhong, and Wenyou on this matter, and promised that this expenditure would then be returned to Fa Zheng 30,000 gold from the proceeds of our army's seizures as taxes in Hanzhong. However, now that the war in Hanzhong has ended, there is no war in all battalions, and the whole army is resting, so this huge deficit will fall on your Qinglong battalion. Do you have any objections to this? ”

"Ahh Xu Chu and Pang De were shocked, stood up with a "poof", and looked at Jia Xu dumbfounded, with anger and fear in their eyes, and their eyes looking at Jia Xu were full of the taste of official revenge.

"Thirty thousand gold, that's thirty million five baht. In the past six months, there has been no war in our Qinglong Battalion, so naturally it has not been captured, and there are no workshops under its jurisdiction, let alone wantonly exploiting business travelers. How can there be such a large amount of money, is the military advisor deliberately making things difficult for the general? Xu Chu asked indignantly.

Pang De said: "What General Zhongkang said is extremely true. The grain and grass of the soldiers of our battalion were all supplied by Hongnong Xun Chen Taishou, and he had no surplus wealth at all, and the military adviser asked my battalion for 30,000 gold, which was indeed embarrassing for me to wait. ”

Jia Xu was confused when he heard this, his expression was stunned, and it took him a while to figure it out, it turned out that Xu Chu and Pang De mistakenly thought that he Jia Xu deliberately made things difficult for the two of them, and openly asked for bribes. Suddenly, Jia Xu smiled dumbly: "Hehehe! What do you two think? Am I, Jia Wenhe, a person who wantonly accepts bribes, even if I do, am I so bold? You two don't have to be bitter, as if I were a hungry wolf who eats people and doesn't swallow bones. ”

While speaking, Jia Xu got up and walked to the door of the big tent, and said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, I made a special trip to the Xingyang camp this time to come for the group of people in the southern mountain pass, and to raise a little money to make up for the deficit of the lord's previous expedition to Hanzhong." Otherwise, the soldiers of the Shuofeng Battalion, the Wushuang Iron Cavalry, and the Qin Gong Battalion are just like the two of you now, with bitter faces all day long, as if someone owes money and doesn't pay it back, and they are bitter and bitter. As for it, isn't it just 30,000 gold, what a big deal, as long as Jia stretches out his fingers, he can get it at his fingertips. ”

"Huh? Stretch out your fingers and you will have 30,000 gold, so 、、、 military advisor will stretch out your fingers a few more times, and let me wait for a small fortune, as long as I can repay 30,000 gold! Xu Chu looked directly at Jia Xu's chubby fingers, swallowed saliva from his throat in his throat, and said with a slug eye.

Jia Xu immediately stretched out his hand and pointed to the mountain col in the distance, and said with a smile: "The 30,000 gold is there, and you can lead your troops to get it this evening." ”

"Ahh That's a bunch of poor ghosts who are so poor that they don't even have clothes, poorer than us, how can they have 30,000 gold? Xu Chu stared at the col pointed to by Jia Xu with wide eyes, and said without thinking.

Jia Xu laughed heartily: "Zhongkang, have you forgotten who they are? It is true that they do not even have clothes to wear, but that does not mean that they do not have gold and silver. I remember I mentioned to you before that these men carried a dozen chests of gold and silver, and every item in the boxes was worth a fortune, ranging from a hundred gold to priceless. If the information I get is correct, then each of these dozen large chests is worth more than 30,000 gold. The lord squandered 30,000 gold in Hanzhong, and we naturally want to earn the money back for the lord, so I will ask the two of you to lead the troops to take these boxes back. ”

Speaking of this, Jia Xu said with a stern expression: "Remember, I only need the gold and silver in the box to be soft, and I didn't let you arrest them." In addition, try not to hurt them, just drive them away, and only rob property and not kill people. Another thing to remind you two is that the defenders of my Xingyang camp did not find their whereabouts, but they were unlucky enough to be met by robbers who blocked the road and robbed, and that's it. Well, can you two do it? Whether you can do it or not, you must do it immediately, and the Lord is here. If you can't do such a trivial thing, then you two don't need to lead the troops to fight, let me go to the stable to raise horses, and don't think about stepping into the barracks within half a year! ”

"No, I'll take the order!" Seeing Jia Xu's gloomy face, Xu Chu and Pang De didn't dare to say more, and bowed down to answer.

"Well, I'm waiting for good news from you." Jia Xu nodded slightly, and immediately turned around and walked into the big tent with his hands behind his back.

Watching Jia Xu walk into the inner room to take a break, Xu Chu smacked his tongue and said: "The military advisor really deserves to be a 'poisoner', he speaks with a smile, which makes people mistakenly think that he is very kind and easy to talk, but in fact, his methods are really vicious!" If you don't catch it, you won't catch it, and let me wait to pretend to be a robber to block the road and rob, but it's obviously a robbery, but I want to say 'take'. These literati are really ??????"

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

"Well, what Ling Ming said makes sense." Xu Chu nodded in response, and said solemnly: "This poisoner is scheming, we can't fight him if we are tied together, it's better to be careful, otherwise if you hit him one day, you won't have tears if you want to cry!" ”
