Liu Jing turned around and ordered: "Please come in."

After a moment, Jia Xu and Sima Yi quickly walked into the meeting hall. Jia Xu stepped forward and bowed, "I'm going to see Your Highness."

Liu Jing hurriedly stepped forward to support Jia Xu. Seeing that he was thinner than during the last battle of Guanzhong, he knew that he worked hard. In addition, he was seventy years old, which made Liu Jing feel very sad. He sighed and said, "Military advisor, please rest at home in the future."

Jia Xu smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness. Guanzhong strategy has been my dream for more than ten years. After I consolidate Guanzhong, I will no longer care."

Liu Jing nodded and asked Sima Yi again, "Sima Shangshu, has the envoy Cao Cao arranged it?"

"Report to your highness, I have arranged him in the VIP hotel."

Jia Xu smiled and said, "Dong Zhao has come this time, and he has a lot of plans. Does Your Highness know his purpose?"

"If I'm not mistaken, Dong Zhao should have come for the Battle of Hefei."

Jia Xu was stunned, but after a change of thought, he immediately realized that the Han army stationed troops in Wan County and Chaohu and allocated large-scale food and food supplies. How could Cao Cao not know? Liu Jing expected Dong Zhao's intention to come.

But Liu Jing shook his head, "It's not what the military advisor thought, but for other reasons. Dong Zhao was just an open envoy, and an secret envoy had arrived ten days ago."

Jia Xu was confused. What's going on? Cao Cao sent two envoys to the darkness. He really couldn't understand, but Jia Xu was very envious, but he didn't rush to ask, but waited patiently for Liu Jing to tell himself. Liu Jing said lightly: "Dong Zhao is here, on the surface, for the Battle of Hefei, but behind it is the battle between Cao Pi and Cao Zhi. Can the military advisor know whose person Dong Zhao is?"

Jia Xu nodded, "Weichen knows that he is Cao Zhi's confidant."

"That's true. As early as ten days ago, Yang Biao's nephew Yang Xun arrived in Chengdu and handed me a letter from Yang Biao. Please wait for the military advisor."

Liu Jing went back to the official room to get the letter. Jia Xu took this break and asked Sima Yi: "Zhongda, does Your Highness want to attack Hefei?"

Jia Xu smiled bitterly and said, "I heard what Xu Yuanzhi meant. Your Highness seemed to value moving the capital more. After stabilizing Chang'an, then consider the southeast."

Jia Xu had a little idea in his heart. He had already guessed Liu Jing's intention. At this time, Liu Jing quickly walked back to the meeting hall and handed Yang Biao's letter to Jia Xu, "It's this letter, military advisor, please take a look."

Jia Xu took the letter scroll, and saw that the letter scroll sleeve said, "The Great Han Wei Yang Biao respectfully urged His Highness the King of Han." Jia Xu thought to himself, "This Yang Biao has been silent for many years, may he be active again?"

He opened the letter scroll and looked at it briefly, and became more and more surprised. It turned out that Yang Biao had decided to support Cao Zhi, and in the name of Wei, he begged the King of Han to support Cao Zhi as his heir. Jia Xu couldn't help but sneer: "This Yang Biao is not safe in his later years, and he still wants His Highness to do his dowry for him. It's a good idea."

Liu Jing took the letter and said, "I got information from Yedu. Recently, Cui Yan often went to Yang Biao's mansion, and his clan's brother Sikong Cui Lin held a banquet and invited famous scholars from Yedu. The military advisor said what happened."

Jia Xu suddenly understood several questions, and he smiled and said, "Your Highness refers to the northern gentry beginning to support Cao Zhi. Dong Zhao was on an envoy to build momentum for Cao Zhi."

"That's right. I'm afraid this is also Cao Cao's true intention. The battle in Hefei is already on the string. How could Cao Cao give up with just one mission? Why didn't he understand this? But he still accepted Cao Zhi's recommendation and ordered Dong Zhao to go to Chengdu to block the battle of Hefei. It seems that Cao Cao has been hesitating for many years and finally wants to make Cao Zhi his heir."

Liu Jing said this and looked at Jia Xu meaningfully. He knew that Jia Xu had a say in this matter. He wanted to hear Jia Xu's opinion. Jia Xu also understood Liu Jing's hint. He pondered for a moment: "Your Highness is right. The call for the world has been called for more than ten years. Cao Pi is the chief of the world and is smart and capable. In recent years, he has served as the General of the Five-Secret General and Deputy Prime Minister, and gradually took charge of the government's power. Whether from the law or the reality of the continued power of Cao Wei's power, Cao Pi should be the world. But Cao Cao has been hesitant to this day, which just shows that he actually does not want to make Cao Pi the heir, but rather is biased towards Cao Zhi."

Liu Jing smiled and said, "Parents generally prefer young people. Could it be that Cao Cao is the same as Yuan Benchu?"

"Not"

Jia Xu shook his head and said, "Cao Zhi is not a young man. Cao Cao loved him the most, but Cao Chong. If he used the theory of favoritism, he should make Cao Chong the heir. It can be seen that the theory of favoritism does not hold true. Cao Cao is a talented and stubborn person. How can he follow the attitude of a fool and establish the world with favoritism?"

"Why is the reason?" Sima Yi, who was standing beside him, couldn't help asking.

Jia Xu smiled and said calmly: "Some people say that Cao Jian is talented and the best in the world. He should be the lord of the world. Some people say that Cao Cao often praised Jian for his talent and strategy, which is the most similar to himself. To establish Cao Jian as his heir, he could inherit his father's business. However, the poor ministers believe that the fundamental reason why Cao Cao wanted to establish Cao Zhi as his heir was in His Highness."

"Because of me" Liu Jing was stunned.

Jia Xu nodded, "It is precisely because of the increasing strength of Your Highness that Cao Cao was worried and worried about the continuation of the Cao family. I still remember that after Cao Cao was promoted to Duke of Wei, Your Highness told Cao Cao twice to stop the horse and not take the most dangerous step. What is the result? I saw it very clearly. Since His Highness Runan and Cao Cao for a while, Cao Cao removed the ceremony of Jiuxi. In the past year, the calls for Cao Cao to be promoted to King of Wei have been higher and higher, but Cao Cao was unmoved. This shows that Your Highness's announcement has been effective. It is precisely for the long-term consideration of the family that Cao Cao considered choosing Cao Zhi as the world."

Sima Yi said on the side: "I had a lot of contact with Cao Zhi back then, and I found that Cao Zhi valued Confucianism and respected scholars. If Cao Zhi was his heir, I'm afraid that Cao Cao's twenty years of hard work would be wasted."

Jia Xu sighed and said, "It is true. Cao Zhi values ​​Confucianism, respects the gentry, and advocates respect for etiquette. If he becomes the prime minister in the future, he may be respectful to the Emperor of Han. Although Emperor Liu Xie hated Cao Cao the most, he was afraid of Your Highness the most. Once the Emperor of Han regained the title of the Nine Five, the one who suffered the greatest losses was not the Cao family, but us."

Liu Jing paced back and forth in the lobby with his hands behind his back. Jia Xu felt clear and could see through the essence of the matter. The reason he stated was exactly what he had thought about during this period. Moreover, Jia Xu pointed out incisively that Cao Zhi was in power, and the biggest loss was not Cao's family, but him Liu Jing. Liu Jing looked at the roof worriedly and said for a while: "The military advisor means that we must try our best to prevent Cao Zhi from ascending the throne and support Cao Pi as the world."

"No"

Jia Xu shook his head gently and said with a smile: "Our best choice is not Cao Pi, but to muddle the water and make Cao Cao unable to come to the world for a long time. This is the most beneficial to us."

Liu Jing felt something, and he deserved to be Jia Xu. It was indeed a clever view. He smiled and changed the subject, "The military advisor told me about the situation in Guanzhong, how is Chang'an now?"

Dong Zhao took his entourage to live in the VIP hotel. The house was elegant and comfortable, and the attorney was attentive, which quickly eliminated the fatigue of the journey. However, there was something that made him unhappy, that was, the Han army strictly guarded him, and more than 2,000 soldiers guarded around the VIP hotel, which made him feel more or less monitored.

In the evening, Dong Zhao woke up after a sleep, feeling refreshed and extremely full of energy. Anyway, there was nothing to do today, and the King of Han would meet him tomorrow. Dong Zhao wanted to go and visit Chengdu to see if he could regain his feelings for 40 years ago. At this time, a follower quickly walked to the door and bowed: "I have sent this to you, the envoy, someone has sent this."

He presented a note, and Dong Zhao took it and looked at it. He saw a sentence written on it, "When I saw the begonia room in the flower tavern."

Dong Zhao was slightly stunned and asked his follower, "Who gave the note?"

"I don't know. I just came back from outside and was about to reach the door, a child gave me this note."

After thinking about it, Dong Zhao understood that it was probably the Han army that strictly guarded the VIP hotel. It was inconvenient for people to ask for a visit. It was very likely that it was Yang Tian. Thinking of this, he ordered again: "Go and ask where the Hua Tavern is."

"I know that you can see it by walking south a mile from the gate. It is a very good tavern."

Dong Zhao decided to go and meet this mysterious man for a while. He immediately changed his clothes and brought a follower. He walked out of the gate as if he was taking a walk, and went south calmly.

Soon, Dong Zhao came to the Flower Tavern. When he first heard this name, he thought it was a brothel, but in fact it was one of the famous taverns in Chengdu, covering an area of ​​four acres and consisting of two small red-story buildings. It was dusk and the business was very prosperous.

Dong Zhao walked to the door and immediately a bartender came up with him, smiling and said, "Are the guests here to have a meal?"

Dong Zhao nodded, "Haitang Room, there has been an agreement in advance."

The bartender hurriedly said, "Customer, please follow me."

They walked into the back restaurant and went upstairs. There were more than a dozen elegant rooms here, and the innermost one was the crabapple room. Dong Zhao pushed the door and walked into the room. He saw a person waiting in the room. He was about forty years old, thin and fair, wearing a green robe, a flat scarf wrapped in his head, and dressed very simply. Dong Zhao recognized it at a glance. It turned out to be Yang Xun. He couldn't help laughing, "Who did I say it, it turned out to be Yang Jun, and I asked me to guess for a long time."

Dong Zhao and Yang Xun were very familiar with each other. When Yang Xun left Chang'an, he met Dong Zhao and got a high-level waist card. Yang Xun bowed and smiled and said, "The Han army guarded the VIP hotel tightly, so he had to ask Mr. Dong to come out to meet. If you are rude, please forgive me."

"It's okay, it's better to be careful."

Dong Zhao sat down happily, Yang Xun sat down opposite him, picked up the wine pot and filled a glass of wine in front of him, and smiled and said, "I have been waiting in Chengdu for ten days, and I finally waited for Mr. Dong today."

Dong Zhao picked up his ear cup and took a sip of wine, and said with a smile: "Eunuch Yang should have gained something for this trip."

Yang Xun nodded, put the token on the table, pushed it to Dong Zhao, and replied with a smile: "It's time to check it out. Your Highness the King of Han has also visited him. Now I'll order Dong to bus."

"What did you say about Yang Tian? " Dong Zhao asked anxiously.

Yang Xun sneered and said, "Although Yang Tian did not surrender to the Han army, this person is selfish and bold, and dared to fabricate false information to deceive Duke Wei."

Dong Zhao was shocked, "Where did you start with this?" Dong Zhao was of course very nervous. He was nominally Yang Tian's boss. If Yang Tian fabricated false information, Dong Zhao would have been implicated. If Cao Pi was involved, how could Duke Wei forgive him? He suddenly became anxious.

Yang Xun then explained the meeting with Zhang Lu'er in detail, and finally said: "After the incident, the official also investigated Lin Jin and found that he did have a relationship with Yang Tian, ​​but it was only a few days ago that he had just been a general friend. So more than a month ago, he would not sell the secrets of Pingzhang Platform, no matter what, the record of the matter must be false."

Dong Zhao pondered for a long time and said, "This matter is of great importance and involves a lot of people. It is best to confirm with Yang Tian himself. Envoy Yang should not draw conclusions easily."
