Chapter 255 Jia Xu on virtue

Zhou Yu stood up, respectfully bowed to Jia Xu, and said, "Mr. Wenhe's eyes are as bright as lightning. Yu is indeed a little impatient, just because he feels the burden on his shoulders is heavy and the pressure is very high. Please give me advice. The current situation is like this..."

Zhou Yu dipped his finger in wine, roughly drew a map on the stone table, clicked in the northwest corner, and said, "Let's talk about the farthest. This is Liangzhou. At present, countries in the Western Regions are not at peace, and there is constant civil strife in Liangzhou. Han Sui, Ma Teng and Xu Rong each occupy one side, fighting each other, and there is no power to look out."

Zhou Yu pointed to the eastern part of Liangzhou and said, "This is the Hetao area. The land is fertile and sparse. Since the Huns split into two parts of the north and south, the Northern Xiongnu moved westward to Kangju. The base of the Mobei grassland was occupied by the Xianbei people. The Southern Xiongnu relied on the imperial court and was placed in the Hetao area. Due to the complex tribal composition, it was difficult to control and control, resulting in internal distancing. There were rebellions from time to time, and many Southern Shanyu were killed. Since the Qiangqu Shanyu was killed, two Southern Xiongnus appeared in the Southern Xiongnu. One was his son Yu Fuluo, who led his troops to operate in the Hedong area and often fought with the Baibo army. The other was Xubugudu Hou Shanyu, who still ruled the Hetao area. However, these two forces were not enough to pose a threat to the Central Plains."

"At present, the most threat to our nation is the Xianbei. They were originally the remaining tribes of the Donghu. After the Northern Huns moved west, they all gained their territory. More than 100,000 households of the Xiongnu left in the desert were merged into the Xianbei. Their strength increased greatly and their power gradually became stronger. The Xianbei man Tan Shihuai was very talented and unified the Xianbei tribes. He established a royal court in the Danhan Mountain in Gaoliu, plundered the border counties to the south, resisted Dingling in the north, and repelled Fuyu in the east, and attacked Wusun in the west, completely occupied the homeland of the Xiongnu, with more than 14,000 miles from east to west, and more than 7,000 miles from north to south, becoming a huge empire. Tan Shihuai divided the jurisdiction into three tribes, including the eastern, middle and western tribes, with a total of about 60 towns, each with the emperor as its leader, and under its jurisdiction."

Zhou Yu's fingers were a little heavy in the north of the Mo, and he said angrily, "The Xianbei people repeatedly invaded our borders, plundered people, grain, burned houses, and slaughtered young and strong, which are already a major threat to our country! Fortunately, after Tan Shihuai's death, the alliance collapsed, and the Xianbei was divided into many unrelated branches, which poses a smaller threat to us. However, the Dubugen Group, the Kebineng Group, and the Suli Group all had tens of thousands of iron cavalry, and the string control personnel each had no less than 100,000. Once one of them unified the various tribes of the Xianbei, it would be a disaster for our Han Dynasty!"

Jia Xu listened quietly, and Zhou Yu pointed to the northeast of the map and said with a sigh: "There are foreign races around, including the three counties of Liaodong, Liaoxi, and Youbeiping. Now they are led by Tadun, the nephew of Qiu Liju, the Wuhuan master of Wuhuan in western Liaoning. This person is brave and strategic, so they should not be underestimated. There are also Fuyu, a thousand miles north of Xuantu, and Goguryeo, to the south, who are all eyeing our country."

Jia Xu bowed to Zhou Yu and said seriously: "My lord is so familiar with the situation of foreign races around him. Xu admires him very much. When the Han Dynasty was at its peak, these barbarians surrendered and paid tribute. Now that we have frequent internal wars, the people are living in poverty, it is no wonder they are watching. I already understand the lord's intentions. I must have felt that the heavy responsibility is on my shoulders, and the time is not waiting, and I see that everything is progressing slowly, so I am so anxious, right?"

At this moment, Zhou Yu's drunkenness had been mostly gone. He nodded and smiled: "I also know that I was a little anxious, but when I think of these things and the territory of the Han Dynasty might fall into the hands of the enemy, I can't help it. Does Mr. Wenhe have any solutions?"

Jia Xu shook his head and replied, "This fact is unhurried. With Xu's personality, he can live a safe life and drink wine every day, which is enough. But the lord is in the world and takes it as his mission to save the people. It is normal to be radical. However, Xu thought that eating food should be done at one bite at a time and the road should be taken step by step. The lord has won the six counties in Jiangdong, and it will take at least three years and two years to stabilize the internal affairs. Only after the internal affairs are stable can he consider fighting for dominance in the world. This is indeed insurmountable."

"Yes~~" Zhou Yu sighed deeply. He has always been reluctant to show his confusion and anxiety in front of his subordinates, but when facing Jia Xu, Zhou Yu felt much more relaxed. Perhaps because Jia Xu is proficient in human nature, he can't hide it from him.

"Why don't I know what Mr. Wenhe said?" Zhou Yu took another sip of wine and sighed, "Not only are foreign enemies around him, but the Central Plains are now essentially divided. The powerful people from all over the country occupy the territory and fight against each other. The imperial court's decrees cannot leave the Guanzhong area at all. We face many enemies, and some of them are also very powerful. To be honest, I have no confidence in winning."

Jia Xu narrowed his eyes and replied, "Xu still said that those who are virtuous in the world live in it. The climate of the Han Dynasty has ended, which is a fact that anyone with discerning eyes knows. Xu was a idle person in Xiliang who was loved by his lord and gave advice to him, and expressed his gratitude. But Xu was originally a subordinate of Dong Zhuo. Can the lord know why Xu made up his mind to surrender to his lord in the end?"

Zhou Yu asked with interest: "Why? Please tell me about Wenhe."

Jia Xu replied: "One word: virtue! The so-called eight virtues, filial piety, fraternity, loyalty, trustworthiness, etiquette, righteousness, integrity, shame. Although the lord is young, your cultivation has already reached this level. This sentence is by no means Xu's flattery, but heartfelt words. Looking at the heroes in the world, there are several who are incomparable to the lord in terms of ability, but in terms of virtue, no one can be your right. Now the lord has six counties in Jiangdong. As long as you manage it well, all industries will flourish and political harmony will surely appear. By then, the lord will have enough soldiers and food. As long as you are under the banner of righteousness and inspire the world with kindness, everyone will not be able to surrender?"

Although Jia Xu explained that he had no intention of flattery, his words still made Zhou Yu sound very comfortable. Zhou Yu knew that Jia Xu was famous for his complete plans in history, and that all the things he had seen would happen. I hope he would not disappoint him.

It was too late at night, but the wind suddenly became stronger, swaying the flowers, plants and trees in the back garden. Suddenly, a flash of lightning appeared in the distance night sky, illuminating half of the sky, and a rumbling thunder followed one after another.

In the strong wind that was blowing, Zhou Yu raised the wine cup to Jia Xu and said loudly: "Listen to Mr. Wenhe, my heart has calmed down a lot. Don't worry, I know what to do. Come on, I'll give you a glass!"

After saying that, Zhou Yu and Jia Xu each drank all the wine in the cup, looked at each other and laughed.

At this moment, the wind became even stronger, blowing across the eaves, blew the roof tiles, and making a whimpering sound. Then, without warning, the heavy raindrops wrapped in the wind and fell down, and there was a "crackling" sound in the yard, like countless soybeans jumping on the ground.

Jia Xu started to pour himself a drink, poured himself a glass of wine, and said, "It's strong wind and rain, and I can't go back for the time being. I, Lao Jia, will drink a few more glasses here~~"

Zhou Yu smiled slightly. Good wine was Jia Xu's favorite. It was at this moment that he showed the true nature of a man from the northwest. While drinking, Jia Xu was no longer a Confucian scholar with a strange mind, but a generous and tough Western Liang man, who was so straightforward and cute.

"Boom~~" Another thunder sounded. In the heavy rain, Zhou Yu saw a yellow bamboo umbrella floating over like a cloud. Under the umbrella was a graceful figure, and there was a bamboo umbrella under her armpit, and was rushing to come...
