Chapter 993: Only by giving up can you gain something
Fei Qian was surprised. This Jia Xu was really like a jingle cat. When he asked for something, he could come up with something.
Jia Xu took out a seal ribbon from his arms and handed it to the bodyguard beside Fei Qian.
Fei Qian took it, then opened the seal ribbon and took a look. The four characters "Zuo Feng Yi Seal" engraved in seal script came into view. "Wen He, what are you..."
Jia Xu smiled and said: "When I met Zhang Xiaowei before, I was actually on the way to Zuo Fengyi... This square seal should be able to help the prince."
?Feng Yi on the left and Fufeng on the right originally worked in Chang''an, but later moved to Luoyang and managed government affairs separately.
As the saying goes, one emperor has one courtier, and this was basically the case for the prefects of the Han Dynasty. The complete powers of the prefects in the Han Dynasty can be said to be quite formidable. They had sufficient personnel power. The appointment and dismissal of county magistrates and magistrates were recommended by the prefects. All officials in the county were appointed and dismissed by the prefects themselves from among the people of the county. It has military power and can control tiger talismans and bamboo talismans to control the garrison in the county and can be used to suppress bandits and counter rebellions and other matters.
??Under Zuo Fengyi, there are still many subordinate officials. These subordinate officials can naturally be appointed by Zuo Fengyi from among the local people. So as long as the local personnel are not monolithic, there will naturally be a lot of room for maneuver.
??Although Zuo Fengyi was already in charge, what does it matter?
At this stage, it is not a matter of first come, first served, reciprocity of courtesy, but a matter of who has a strong backing and more guns. Otherwise, there will not be so many prefects in Dongjun, and there will not be many governors of Yanzhou and Qingzhou...
Jia Xu knew that he would never have another chance to serve as Zuo Fengyi, so he took advantage of this opportunity and simply took out the seal ribbon.
?Speaking of which, Jia Xu really knows how to make choices and can always make the most correct move in certain situations. In this regard, even Fei Qian may not be able to do this.
??Zuofeng Yiyin, in the Han Dynasty, was not simply the seal of a prefect, but also symbolized a family and the highest social class that a surname could reach.
In the Han Dynasty, scholars paid special attention to their reputation, that is, their reputation. Once they became famous, they would not only receive word-of-mouth praise from those around them, but they would even receive utilitarian official positions one after another.
?As an important part of reputation, it is whether you or your family has served as a high-ranking official with two thousand dan. This has become an invisible indicator. Otherwise, even if you have a huge wealth, you may not be noticed by others.
This is also the development of officialdom in the entire Han Dynasty. At this stage, it can be said that not 100%, but more than 90% of the official positions in the world are in the hands of the gentry. Such a huge group will naturally guide the entire Social value orientation and public opinion orientation.
To a certain extent, the gentry now represents the ruling class. If they do not have the strength to overthrow the ruling class, any behavior that violates or provokes this class will be rejected by the ruling class. Although few people came to check the water meter in the Han Dynasty, due to its reputation among the nobles, if this thing fell to the ground, even if it was picked up again, it would not be cleaned.
Although he cannot take up office, he can still claim that he has obtained an official position of two thousand dan, and he can also increase his reputation. However, Jia Xu''s current approach is to give up this opportunity, which is equivalent to giving up the fame he obtained. Other people under Fei Qian''s command.
Fei Qian pinched Zuo Fengyi''s big seal and said with a smile: "Wen He, you just gave me such an important thing?"
Jia Xu laughed and was noncommittal.
Upon seeing this, Fei Qian nodded, then gently tossed Zuo Fengyi''s big seal up and down a few times, and said: "There are few people who can see as thoroughly as Wen He, and can pick up and put down..."
Jia Xu said: "The prince is very complimentary. I just think that this seal and ribbon can play its due role only if it is given to the prince..."
The officials of the Han Dynasty are very interesting. Not only the big seals, but also the scepters and other things can be made locally. There are no anti-counterfeiting marks or lasers to identify the authenticity. Just like this big seal, there is actually one in the hands of the current prefect Zuo Fengyi...
According to convention, new officials can take up their posts directly with their seals and ribbons, while the original prefect must return to the central government to hand in his original seals and ribbons, and then either serve as the ninth minister, or be transferred to another prefecture after debriefing his duties.
So, yes, now that Zuo Fengyi''s seal is in hand, Fei Qian can naturally appoint a prefect of Zuo Fengyi.
??Yang Biao had to go through Zuo Fengyi if he wanted to get support from Hongnong. Therefore, such a post of governor could be the best tool for Fei Qian to restrain Yang Biao.
Of course, Yang Biao can also appoint another Zuo Fengyi to fight against Fei Qian. However, now that Zhong Shao is in charge of Shangshutai, will Yang Biao be able to make such personnel appointments smoothly?
?Perhaps Zhong Shao will happily use his authority to complete a complete procedure for Fei Qian on the chancery table...
As the original governor of Zuo Fengyi, when faced with a power struggle between two or even multiple parties, as long as he is not a fool, he will usually choose to stay out of the matter, so that he will not offend any party regardless of emotion or reason. Then wait until the limelight is confirmed before standing up and cheering for the winner.
? Then Fei Qian can use Zuo Fengyi''s geographical location to influence the situation in Guanzhong. For Feiqian, this can indeed solve some concerns...
However, since Jia Xu handed over this big seal to Fei Qian, Fei Qian naturally needs to make some arrangements with Jia Xu. Otherwise, it is not a better idea to take things for nothing and give nothing. way of being in the world.
Thinking of this, Fei Qian said to Jia Xu: "The soldiers of Xianbei are like a thorn on the back. If they cannot be completely removed, they will be a serious problem after all. I wonder what Wen He thinks about this matter?"
Jia Xu said: "The greatest strength of Xianbei is riding. It is most suitable to gallop left and right, and to make surprise attacks from front and back. However, in frontal combat, most people will fall downwind. However, the land to the north, with its ravines and ridges, is not suitable for infantry." Because of this, there are many defeats. It is most appropriate for the prince to set up a stronghold in Yinshan Mountain, which is a strategic point... Does the prince mean that Xianbei may attack in advance? "
Jia Xu''s sense of touch is indeed very sensitive. Without any information assistance, just from Fei Qian''s words, he can guess that Xianbei may attack in advance...
Fei Qian said: "News came from Yinshan, saying that there were many commotions among the people, and fights occurred from time to time... It turned out that when Yinshan first recovered, the number of people was not large, so Gongming and others were asked to march in Yinshan to control the law, but now that there are more people, they use Military law maintains order, so it is inevitable that there will be some inconvenience... In addition, Ambassador Cui of Xihe also sent people to send messages and found signs of some Xianbei tribes mobilizing..."
Jia Xu stroked his beard and said: "If we attack at this time, Xianbei will use his strength to hurt others... But it is also understandable that if the Yinshan Fortress is completed, it will be more difficult for Xianbei to attack again... Therefore, The right solution is to attack while the monarch''s foothold in Yinshan is not stable..."
?As a time traveler, although the biggest advantage is the general trend of historical development, it would be a shame not to take advantage of it. However, no matter how you understand the history of the Three Kingdoms, you may not be able to know what these foreign barbarians are doing.
?? Xianbei King Budugen was indeed killed by Kebi Neng in history, but that doesn’t mean he can be manipulated casually. What’s more, humans are among the most complex creatures. How can one think of having a fatal fight with Fei Qian?
?Of course, the vast majority of people, especially those in high positions, are more rational than emotional, that is, they are people who can fully weigh the pros and cons before making a move. Otherwise, it would be impossible to guess and deduce their behavior...
Like a mentally ill person who does things erratically or only behaves in line with what he thinks is the truth, how can he make predictions? "Yes, there is one more thing," Fei Qian said, "Besides Xianbei, the Xiongnu are barbarians after all. They can be used, but they cannot return to their hearts... Otherwise, with the help of the Xiongnu, I will not feel troublesome..."
Jia Xu frowned and said, "Yu Fuluo wants to rebel? No, it''s not Yu Fulu, then...is it Huchuquan?" Yu Fuluo is near Yinshan Mountain. If it was Yufuluo, I''m afraid there would have been an urgent call from the other side of Yinshan Mountain. Military reports indicate that troops need to be dispatched immediately.
?Fei Qian nodded.
Since Jia Xu is asked to serve as a consultant, some information naturally needs to be disclosed to Jia Xu. Otherwise, no matter how smart Jia Xu is, it will be difficult to use it in the face of a completely dark situation.
Fei Qian said: "Although it is not obvious, there is this sign... When Yang Gong came to Pingyang before, Huchuquan lent a thousand Huqi... In addition, we also found some strange movements of Hu people in Gaonu''s place..."
Fei Qian showed a wry smile as he spoke.
Actually, Huchuquan''s behavior may be partly caused by Fei Qian himself...
In order to hinder Yu Fuluo, and then to confuse the Xianbei people, I deliberately put some yellow mud on the inside of Huchuquan''s crotch. As a result, Huchuquan actually pooped, and he was actually disgusting. Feiqian.
In fact, Hu Chuquan might not have thought of this at first, but it’s like he has been emphasizing to teenagers not to watch pornographic movies, and then people of that age will be more curious about pornographic movies, well, I refer to American movies here. , you have to see how the King Kong Gourd Baby fights against the snake demon...
The same is probably true for Huchuquan.
Now Huchuquan may be thinking that since the Imperial Court of Meiji is no longer here, Yufuluo has gone to Yinshan, and then he also has a certain number of tribesmen and horses, and his ambitions will naturally expand with the expansion of the tribesmen and horses. . However, Hu Chuquan still had some sense and did not make any big moves rashly, but just moved tentatively around the edges.
?Of course, this is also the reason why Fei Qian’s troops are relatively strong now.
??Most of the barbarians follow the rules of the prairie. The first wolf eats the best, the strong wolf eats the next best, and as for the last ones, they can only lick some blood foam and bone residue, which is considered good.
?Hence, Huchuquan did not dare to act rashly when Fei Qian did not reveal any flaws. On the other hand, Fei Qian''s side was not easy to deal with either.
After all, Huchuquan is Yuvuluo’s younger brother. If he attacks Huchuquan without any conclusive evidence, what will Yuvluo think? After all, Yinshan still needs Yu Fuluo to coordinate its defense. If one thing is not handled well, wouldn''t it mean that Yu Fulo will be sent to Xianbei on the opposite side?
Jia Xu obviously understood the key to this, so he said: "...Now, the matter depends on the severity. It''s not too late to deal with Xianbei first, and then go back to deal with Huchuquan, but the key lies in Fuluo..."
Fei Qian nodded and said: "This matter is exactly what I am worried about... In the Yinshan Mountains, there are three captains, Xu Ma and Zhang. These three people command the troops, train the soldiers, and repair the walls. It is not a problem, but it is expected that The enemy has the opportunity to gain insight into people''s hearts, but I''m afraid there are some shortcomings in this aspect..."
Fei Qian turned to look at Jia Xu and said, "I wonder if Wenhe is willing to go through the hard work?"
In the past, there were not enough civil servants and counselors, so Xu Huang, who was more or less intellectually and politically better, was asked to serve first. Now that he has a few more counselors, he naturally needs to be deployed to the places where they are most needed.
Jia Xu raised his hands and said, "I am willing to obey your order."
"Good!" Fei Qian said, "In this way, I entrusted Yinshan to Wenhe... I worshiped Wenhe as the administrator of Yinshan, conquered the west and offered wine, had full authority to handle the civil affairs of Yinshan, and cooperated with Gongming to plan military affairs."
The official position of conquering the West and offering wine, can be big or small. Although the word "jijiu" is mostly used in academic circles, such as academic palaces, it is like the position of university president in later generations. But like later generations, university presidents are also figures within the establishment...
Furthermore, in ancient rituals, during the sacrificial feast, the eldest person would raise wine to the ground as a sacrifice, so "sacrificial wine" is also used as an honorific, or to refer to important people.
?Zhengxi Jijiu, as the name suggests, refers to the important people who are registered in Feiqian''s Zhengxi General''s Mansion.
"Wei!" Jia Xu saluted and said, "Your Majesty, please be at ease. I will go back and sort things out right away. I will set off today for Yinshan Mountain."
Fei Qian nodded and said: "In this case, I will not send Wenhe. After some time, I will naturally lead my troops northward..."
Fei Qian looked at Jia Xu and did not finish his words, because when Fei Qian leads the army north, whether he will also deal with the Xiongnu depends on the intelligence Jia Xu collected in Yinshan during this period, as well as related judgments. .
Jia Xu nodded, obviously understanding what Fei Qian meant, and then he cupped his hands and left.
Fei Qian watched Jia Xu go away, then looked at the Zuo Feng Yi seal ribbon in his hand. He was just about to put the seal ribbon away when he suddenly saw a wisp of smoke coming from outside the city, and a man who looked like a postman was beating a horse. Coming straight to Pingyang, it seems that some latest information has been passed on.
?Fei Qian couldn''t help but frown. The current situation could change at any time, and any change would lead to a series of situation shocks. The current postman, I don''t know what kind of news it will bring...
The information from the postman was quickly forwarded through the soldier. Fei Qian opened the fire paint, took out the silk cloth from the bamboo tube, unfolded it, and couldn''t help but widen his eyes.
To Fei Qian’s expectation, this message was not about new changes in Guanzhong, but about changes in Guandong...
The information is not long, but it contains a lot of people and things involved.
Fei Qian pondered for a while, then turned around and said: "Come here, please pass the order, the martial arts lecture hall will be held tomorrow, and all civil and military personnel must be present..."
