Chapter 2536 Liangzhou Song

Sun Ce also specially sent Jia Xu an edict, asking him to use Dong Zhuo as an example to summarize the merits and demerits of Liangzhou people over the past few decades and provide reference for the imperial court to govern Liangzhou.

After receiving the edict, Jia Xu stayed in the house alone for a long time.

The next day, he asked Lu Su for instructions and wanted to take a step first, go to Jincheng by bicycle to meet with Jincheng Governor Yan Xing.

At the foot of Gaolan Mountain, the governor of Jincheng Yan Xing and his wife stood side by side, with a solemn expression and sighed from time to time.

Lu Su has been in Liangzhou for so long, and they have not sent anyone to greet him. They just want to see how Lu Su deals with Ma Teng. Han Sui died in battle. This revenge is not only recorded on Cao Cao, but Ma Teng cannot escape. If they have the opportunity to take revenge, they don’t mind cleaning up Ma Teng.

Now that Ma Teng handed over Wudu, he transformed himself into the right-hand arm of the Grand Governor Anxi, which made them very uncomfortable and even a little angry.

When they learned that Jia Xu was coming by bicycle, both of them knew what Jia Xu was going to do, but they didn't know how to face Jia Xu.

Jia Xu is not only the military advisor of the Grand Governor of Anxi, but also the most famous wise man in Liangzhou. Many people compare him with Han Sui and believe that he is far better than Han Sui. The situation in Liangzhou today is all thanks to Jia Xu.

This made Yan Xing and Han Shaoying even more uncomfortable.

How to receive Jia Xu has become the first problem they must face. According to their original intention, don’t say that they will come out of the city to welcome Jia Xu, and whether or not they will let Jia Xu enter the city is a problem. But they cannot consider one problem: the emperor personally rushed to Hedong to meet Jia Xu, but now Jia Xu takes the initiative to come to Jincheng. If they stayed in the door, they would be too arrogant. If someone wrote a letter to impeach him, they would not be able to explain.

For the sake of the emperor, they had to surrender themselves and go out of the city to greet each other, so as not to lose their words.

But the fire in my heart is hard to extinguish.

While waiting anxiously, Jia Xu's carriage rushed over and slowly stopped in front of them.

The smoke and dust kicked up by the horse's hooves swept forward like a dragon, and it took a while to dissipate a little.

The car door was pushed open, Jia Xu covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves and slowly got out of the car.

Yan Xing and Han Shaoying looked at each other, saluted, pulled the corners of his mouth, showed a very reluctant smile, and greeted Jia Xu. Jia Xu coughed while raising his head, his eyes on Yan Xing, Han Shaoying swept back and forth twice, and laughed.

"I'm so sorry for you."

"How dare you, how dare you?" Yan Xing said awkwardly.

"No need to hide it." Jia Xu shook his hand and pointed to the snow-capped mountains in the distance. "We Liangzhou people are like snow-capped mountains, with black and white distinctions. It is natural to repay kindness and revenge. There is nothing to hide."

Yan Xing and Han Shaoying looked at each other. Han Shaoying said, "What the military advisor said is very true, but now he has revenge and cannot avenge him."

"I want to kill Ma Shoucheng and avenge Wenyue?"

Han Shaoying bit his lip and nodded vigorously.

"Have you ever thought about it? Wen Yue led the troops into Wudu to save Ma Shoucheng or to seize Wudu?" Jia Xu glanced at the couple and said lightly: "Why is Wen Yue called the Nine-Curve Yellow River? You should know better than me, right?"

Han Shaoying blushed and blurted out. "Is the military advisor coming in bicycles to humiliate the deceased?"

Jia Xu shook his head. "The dead are gone, and the living are waiting. Although I have no friendship with your father, I don't have much hatred. I don't have to drive hundreds of miles just to show off my verbal pleasure. I am old and don't have that energy."

Yan Xing stopped Han Shaoying. "Military advisor, you are..."

"I just want to tell you that although Wen Yue and Ma Shoucheng are sworn brothers, they never regard each other as true brothers. Whoever lives or dies is all the luck of everyone." Jia Xu sighed softly. "It is said that Liangzhou's horses are rampant in the world, but why are Liangzhou people always despised by Guandong people? It's not because Liangzhou has no talents, but because Liangzhou people like internal fighting too much. Yanming, of course you almost beat Meng Qi to death?"

"I..." Yan Xing was speechless, smacked his lips, and said embarrassedly: "Young man's spirit, no need to mention the military advisor."

"Yes, it's all over, so there's no need to mention it." Jia Xu sighed for a long time and said, "Let's put aside the revenge, and talk about repaying kindness."

"Repay kindness?" Yan Xing and Han Shaoying looked at each other, not knowing what Jia Xu wanted to say.

"Yanming, do you know how much criticism has Your Majesty resisted by appointing you as Gincheng Governor?"

Yan Xing was shocked and hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty treats me naturally, his kindness is as heavy as a mountain. If you don't know the kindness of your Majesty, how can I be today?"

Jia Xu looked at Han Shaoying.

Han Shaoying did not dare to neglect, and bowed: "Military advisor, if there was no His Majesty, Shaoying would not have the opportunity to lead troops and fight with men. If you say thank you, Shaoying would be even better than Yanming. He would like to go through fire and water for His Majesty, and he would never refuse."

"Your Majesty does not need you to go through fire and water. Your Majesty only needs you to give up your personal grudges and prejudice and contribute to the stability of Liangzhou. The Grand Governor of Anxi travels west and inspects Liangzhou, and is entrusted by Your Majesty to stabilize Liangzhou. As a native of Liangzhou, if you still hold on to a little personal grudge and do not put the overall situation first, wouldn't you let Your Majesty down your trust?"

Yan Xing, Han Shaoying was ashamed and bowed to thank him.

Yan Xing general Jia Xu welcomed him into the city and held a banquet to entertain him.

Jia Xu wrote him to the court, and the emperor agreed to write a biography for Dong Zhuo, and summarized it, reviewing the gains and losses of Liangzhou for nearly a hundred years, and preparing for the long-term stability of Liangzhou one by one, with Yan Xing and his wife, Cheng Gongying and others.

Yan Xing and others were both surprised and happy, and cheered.

Liangzhou has been in chaos for more than a hundred years and has long been tired of this kind of life of life and death, especially after seeing the wealth of Kanto. Yan Xing and Han Shaoying often regret chatting in private. If Han Sui had not been killed, their future might be better. Now that they have returned to Jincheng, although they are honored and have been in charge, they cannot be compared with Kanto.

The situation in Liangzhou is special, and the new policy in Guandong cannot be copied. How to straighten the relationship and avoid unrest has always been a question they considered. The emperor intends to govern Liangzhou, eradicate the 100-year turmoil in Liangzhou, and respect the opinions of the people of Liangzhou, which gave them a glimmer of hope.

Before this, the court never really paid attention to the opinions of the people of Liangzhou. Even if there were wise men like Fu Xie shouting loudly in the court, they only made a temporary rise in the end and soon became reborn. In a hundred years, the court officials formally proposed to give up Liangzhou as many as five times.

Sanming, Liangzhou has made great military achievements. Why did the Guandong people in the court look at them directly?

The emperor was willing to listen to the opinions of the people of Liangzhou and seek long-term stability for Liangzhou. For the people of Liangzhou, this was good news that they had been waiting for hundreds of years. If they missed it, they would be the sinners of the entire Liangzhou.

Yan Xing understood the reason why Jia Xu arrived in person and was even more ashamed.

Cheng Gongying was also very excited, but he spent a longer time in Liangzhou and was familiar with the nature of powerful people from all over the world. Most of these people have no knowledge and are used to fighting for the immediate interests, or even turning against each other. After all, not everyone is as wise as Jia Xu, and even like Yan Xing and Han Shaoying, there are not many people who have opened their horizons in Guandong. Years of struggle have accumulated a lot of grudges, which has made them feel embarrassed to let go of their grudges and consider the future of the entire Liangzhou.

In the final analysis, interests are still needed. Only when they can get more benefits can they support the new measures of the court. Otherwise, no matter how good the policies are, they will have no way to talk about them. Instead, it is better to find a way to kill a group of them first.

After hearing Cheng Gongying's words, Jia Xu was amused and crying.

Han Sui is a smart person among Liangzhou people. Cheng Gongying is Han Sui's confidant and a rare calm person. The first way he thought of was to kill people, which shows how heavy the habit of internal fighting among Liangzhou people is.

Seeing that Jia Xu's expression was wrong, Cheng Gongying knew that he had made up his words and was embarrassed.

Yan Xing took the initiative to ask Jia Xu for advice and broke the embarrassing situation.

Jia Xu said that Cheng Gongying had a right saying, interests are the fundamentals. To truly solve the problem of Liangzhou, we must balance the interests in all aspects. Liangzhou includes Ganzhou, which has been divided. Ningzhou has poor land, suitable for grazing, not suitable for farming, and cannot support too many people. This also destined that Liangzhou can take advantage of the chaos of Guandong for a while, but cannot pose a real threat to Guandong, especially when Guandong restores stability.

Therefore, Liangzhou cannot do without Guandong.

Kanto is also inseparable from Liangzhou.

First of all, Liangzhou is an important horse-producing place. Although Youzhou and Bingzhou also produce horses, the best horse is Liangzhou horses, especially war horses. The Central Plains do not produce horses, cavalry, post offices, or even daily riding requires a large number of horses. Liangzhou can provide horses to the court in exchange for food, salt, iron, silk and other materials.

Secondly, there are cattle and sheep in Liangzhou. The emperor valued people's livelihood, and the lives of the people in Guandong are getting better, and there is a great need for meat. If several important waterways are used to send the livestock and fur from Liangzhou to Guandong, it is also a way to make money.

Finally, and the most critical point, Liangzhou is the only way to the Western Regions. If the silk, porcelain and other valuable materials from the Central Plains are to be transported to the Western Regions for sale, they must pass through Liangzhou. Even if the emperor attaches importance to sea transportation, Hexi is still indispensable, at least for the foreseeable twenty or thirty years.

The emperor has set the basic direction. In the next twenty years, the Grand Governor of Anxi and the Left Protector will start with Liangzhou and continue to advance to the Western Regions until the distant Qin. For the people of Liangzhou, this is undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you make good use of it, the people of Liangzhou will occupy an important place in the Great Wu army, and it is undoubtedly a group of generals who have been granted marquis for their military merits.

For Liangzhou, this is an opportunity to prove its strength. For individuals, this is an opportunity to improve the status of the family. Anyone with some knowledge will not let it go easily. If you still focus on the interests in front of you at this time, you will not blame others. You deserve to be a powerful countryman for the rest of your life.
