Three Kingdoms: I, the Emperor of Wei, am loyal and honest! - #123 - Chapter 123
As Jia Xu took the initiative to ask for help, Cao Cao immediately laughed:”If Wen He takes action, success will be immediate!
Zixiu also mentioned Wen He in the letter, saying that there is no more suitable candidate than Wen He..
He also said that as long as the money is given to Wen He,
Wen He is a very resourceful person and he will definitely know what Zi Xiu wants.……”
Hearing what Cao Cao said, Jia Xu had a confident smile on his face:”Young Master said this, you are flattering me.
I am afraid that no one in this world can compare with Young Master’s unconstrained talents.
I can only I just guessed a little bit of what the young master meant.……”
Although Jia Xu was modest, the confidence on his face showed that Jia Xu had understood what Cao Ang meant.
This actually made Cao Cao a little curious. Everything else in his elder son’s letter was made clear, but this was left out.
Even Cao Cao only half-understood what Cao Ang had in mind.
Therefore, when he saw Jia Xu being like this, he asked with a bit of embarrassment and a bit of curiosity that a father didn’t know his son,”What does Wen He say, what is the profound meaning of Zi Xiu?”
On the side, Guo Jia, Xun You and others were also very interested. They were able to guess some of the interests, but they still felt that their guesses were a bit off.
As for Xia Houyuan, Yu Jin, Zhang Xiu, Xu Huang, Dian Wei and other generals, they were even more confused.
Jia Xu smiled slightly, stroked his beard and said:”Although you have discovered enough copper mines in Xuzhou, the mining of copper mines and the casting of coins take time.
During this period of time, even if you have been minting money day and night, , and the quantity is limited.
And many of them are used to reward meritorious soldiers.
Therefore, the new money sent by the young master may be a lot, but it will not be too much.
Moreover, the thieves in Guanzhong are all greedy and unrestrained. Even if you need to appease and stabilize these people at the moment, you don’t need to invest too much money in case these people are too greedy.
Therefore, the money sent by the young master can only be used as a deposit.
If you want the follow-up money, you have to wait for it to be broken. Yuan Shao is fine.
This will restrain some people from going back on their word, and the young master will allow me to freely distribute the money to people like Duan Xuan and Pei Mao who are good friends with me.
If you are a greedy person like Li Jue and Guo Si, you can give some more to whet their appetite. If you meet someone who is willing to cooperate with our army, you can recruit them.
If you encounter someone who refuses to be bribed, you can also drive away tigers and devour wolves, so that those who are under my control will attack and devour those who are my enemies!
There are already dissatisfactions among the princes in Guanzhong, and there are constant new and old hatreds just because Yuan Shao paid so much to bribe them. Only then can we temporarily unite.
And I can use the new money created by the young master as a rock to lobby for discord and widen the rift among the princes in Guanzhong. I can even bribe some of the princes’ generals to betray and kill each other!
This strategy made the princes in Guanzhong suspicious of each other, and the alliance that was finally established fell apart in an instant.
And all it needed was a small amount of new money from the young master and some words from me.
To put it bluntly, the young master would just exchange Xuzhou Copper. If all the mines are moved, it may not be as good as Yuan Shao’s work, and it may not be able to satisfy the appetite of the princes in Guanzhong.
However, the purpose of the young master is not really to bribe and appease them, but just to prevent them from becoming an obstacle to our army..
Therefore, the young master’s money is mainly for the princes in Guanzhong to see, not for them to spend!”
Jia Xu’s words revealed his interpretation of Cao Ang’s meaning, which fell in the ears of Cao Cao and others, and they couldn’t help but let them know. It was like an enlightenment, and everyone was numb!
Even Cao Cao, who has always been famous for his cunning, never thought that there could be so many ways to play?
He was able to guess part of it just now, but he couldn’t guess all of it!
Especially Jia Xu’s last sentence, that the money is for the princes in Guanzhong to see, not to spend, made Cao Cao’s eyes light up, as if he had discovered a new world!
“I see! Isn’t this like hanging a green vegetable in front of the mules and horses, tempting them to be driven away in order to eat the green vegetables.
In the end, I was too exhausted to eat that green vegetable!”
Cao Cao suddenly realized that he felt that the operation of such a big man was ten times more cunning than his own! After all, if Cao Cao wanted to appease someone, he had to spend real money on it.
Even if he had no money in his hand , , even if he ordered the city to be massacred, he had to raise money. However, when he got there, he only took a small amount of money, and even wanted to do it without spending any money! Appetite!
Isn’t this just a waste of money after using it? How clever!
Of course, Cao Cao also knows that the princes in Guanzhong are not fools, and they may be greedy and wait for Cao Ang’s final payment.
There are definitely people who don’t believe in empty promises.
But it depends on Jia Xu’s operation!
Will the subordinate generals take the bait? As for asking the younger brother to kill the boss, the goal can be achieved!
Among the princes in Guanzhong, who is unjust and willing to betray his boss for profit? Who is loyal and unmoved by money? There is no one who has served under Dong Zhuo, Li Jue, Guo Si, Duan Xuan, etc.
Jia Xu knows the inside story better!
It can be said that Cao Ang’s bait is only the first step, and Jia Xu’s operation is the key!
Only Jia Xu, who knows the situation of the princes in Guanzhong and is full of harmful tricks, can do it.
Even if it were Guo Jia, it might not be possible!
Not only Cao Cao was sighing, but even Guo Jia and Xun You couldn’t help but slap their foreheads in surprise.
Before this, they had never thought of so many twists and turns…
like this.
They must have thought about using money to drive a wedge between the princes in Guanzhong, but Guo Jia and the others had never thought of such a harmful move by bribing the soldiers below to assassinate the rebel princes in Guanzhong.
Of course, whether Cheng Yu had thought of it, Guo Jiaxunyou didn’t.
Got it.
(If you want to read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!
) After all, Cheng Yu and Cheng Zhongde can even use his own father and fellow villagers to make human meat dry food.
His bottom line may not be any higher than that of Jia Xu…
or even Maybe he is lower than Jia Xu, but he is not qualified because he is not familiar with the Xiliang princes.
……
“Impossible, the young master is a benevolent and righteous man, how could he instruct such things as assassinations?
Mr. Wenhe, please don’t misunderstand the young master!”
At this moment, among the generals, Dian Wei, Yu Jin, Xia Houyuan and others spoke one after another with protective looks on their faces.
They felt that some of the methods Jia Xu said were definitely not what Mr. Cao Ang meant, so he asked Jia Xu not to talk nonsense.
Jia Xu glanced at the generals and couldn’t help but smile bitterly:”The generals are right, this is indeed not what the young master meant, I came up with it myself.
The young master just asked me to adapt to circumstances.
No matter what happened during this mission to the princes in Guanzhong, it was all done by me, Jia Wenhe!”
When Jia Xu said this, there was actually one sentence that was left unsaid.
That is, Cao Ang did not tell Jia Xu what to do, but just because he didn’t explain anything and let Jia Xu do it on his own, he was already telling Jia Xu that he could do it. No matter what the means…
However, if the incident of assassination, kidnapping and sap comes out, the bad reputation will belong to Jia Xu and has nothing to do with Cao Ang! How could Yuan Shao have the heart to do such a thing in a decisive battle?
Therefore, Cao Ang’s character of a benevolent and righteous gentleman will never be affected!
Only a few insiders such as Jia Xu and Guo Jia can understand this meaning! Dian Wei
, Xia Houyuan and others couldn’t think of it…
Since the young master had given the signal to reveal the matter from the beginning, Jia Xu would naturally not reveal the mystery to Xia Houyuan and the others, and could only reveal the mystery. Keep it in mind and bear it all on your own!
This made Jia Xu couldn’t help but admire it. From this point of view, Master Zixiu was indeed right in his letter. The person who understood Cao Ang best was Jia Xu, Jia Wenhe…… but that doesn’t mean that the young master has seen through Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe…
But Jia Xu is not dissatisfied, only admires him, and is even a little grateful for his reputation?
Xu doesn’t care, so what if he betrays him?
But the meritorious service is real!
If he can defeat the princes in Guanzhong this time, it will be no less than defeating the enemy and slaying the generals! Threat! It even saved the overall situation of the decisive battle!
If you want to defeat the enemy under normal circumstances, you will need at least 100,000 more Cao troops to stop the 200,000 people in the pass.
And Cao Ang gave Jia Xu this (money). The opportunity to perform meritorious service can be said to make Jia Xu an army of 100,000 people!
After this wave, he and his descendants will be able to rest on their merits for the rest of their lives and wait to die…
That’s it, Jia Xu After making preparations, within two days, the money from Cao Ang arrived.
It was all Cao Lang’s new money, packed in boxes one by one on the carriage.
It looked like a lot! In fact, it is only about 20 to 30 million yuan, converted into gold, two to three thousand gold.
This money is about the same for buying one or two princes, but it is far more difficult to buy more than a dozen princes and their generals in Guanzhong. After all
, Yuan Shao gave away tens of thousands of gold to the princes in Guanzhong this time!
However, although the money sent by Cao Ang was not as valuable as Yuan Shao, it seemed to be much more than the ordinary five baht, so it was still enough as bait!
As for the rest, it all depends on Jia Xu’s performance.
“.Set off!”
With a wave of his hand, Jia Xu, escorted by the two generals Xu Huang and Xia Houyuan, led thousands of troops and horses, escorted a hundred carts of Cao Lang’s money, and headed west.
At this moment, the princes in Guanzhong had just left Tongguan Er. Hundreds of miles away, there is still a distance between Yaoshan and Hangu Pass, and I have not yet left the pass.
I am just marching while dreaming of breaking through Xudu and plundering Yuzhou. I don’t know what kind of horror is about to happen.……
