Three days later.

Jia Xu, who has returned to Chang'an, received an investigation report from his subordinates:

"Reported to the Duke, Wugong County does have Chen Fei's household registration, but according to the neighbors, his father and the eldest son's house separated from each other and his family was poor. The family of four died of illness 20 days ago and was thrown into a mass grave with everyone."

Jia Xu waved to him, twisting his beard without saying a word.

Jamu, who was sitting behind him, looked at him:

"Father, I read historical records and occasionally resurrected from the dead, but is this kind of thing... really true?"

Jia Xu spoke slowly:

"It's not just historical records. Just last year, someone in Changsha was resurrected a month after his death, and was regarded as a sign of great danger. Sure enough, the Central Plains earthquake and Chiyou was seen in Jiao Kang (see note)... But I still think that the resurrection of a person's death is contrary to common sense and cannot be trusted."

Jia Mu nodded:

"What does my father want to deal with Chen Fei?"

Jia Xu glanced at him and raised his eyebrows:

"I see that you have had a lot of talks with him these days, and you have even called him brothers, so let's keep him by my side as an official!"

Jamu suddenly smiled:

"I'll tell him now!"

Looking at his son who was running away, Jia Xu smiled faintly, but his expression returned to normal.

There was a small official outside the door and walked in quickly:

"Mr., the imperial decree has arrived!"

Jia Xu reached out to take it, but did not open it.

Li Jue and Guo Si are in power. Today's court is just a group of strait teams. What's the difference between this decree or not?

-

"Brother Chen, my father has agreed to let you stay by your side as an official!"

On this side, Jia Mu was happily informing Chen Fei.

A big rock in Chen Fei's heart finally landed on the ground and he hurriedly bowed to him:

"Thank you, brother, please thank me. I would like to thank you for your kindness to the Jia family. I respect my father and son to save me from the end of my journey. I will never forget this kindness and love forever!"

After all, thirteen-year-old Jia Mu is young and innocent, and is not as low-key and deep as Jia Xu. Chen Fei has been somewhat flattering in the past three days, making Young Master Jia treat him as a true brother who falls like the same mind.

Since he found a "backer", Chen Fei accepted his current identity with peace of mind. The most urgent task is to learn the writing, classics, and court system of the Eastern Han Dynasty in the shortest time, and at the same time try to avoid being too "advanced" in his words and deeds.

Although Jia Xu was the prefect of Zuo Fengyi, he quickly resigned from his position as a local official of 2,000 shi, and chose to accept the 600 shi, and his power and subordinates were greatly reduced.

Because he had previously offered a plan to "counterattack Chang'an", the Xiliang Legion was able to regain control of the court. Therefore, both Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji and other generals respected Jia Xu's existence very much. In order to use his intelligence, money, food, cloth, chariots, horses and servants, they all had everything, and were supplied in all seasons.

But Jia Xu never made a fuss, but was very low-key. Apart from the necessary persuasion and advice, he rarely showed his existence in the court. He sat coldly at Li, Guo, Fan, Zhang and others for power - because he knew better than anyone else that although he was respected, he did not have real power in his hands, so he was unable to change the current chaos.

"Yanzhou Yellow Turban Thiefs Resurrected, killed Rencheng Prime Minister Zheng Sui, and governor Liu Dai also died in the chaos of the army. The people of Yanzhou were shocked three times a day. Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, and the general of Wan Qian, the prefect of Yingdong County, Cao Cao, became the governor of Yanzhou..."

On this day, Jia Xu handed the battle reports in his hand to his son with a serious expression.

"I really don't know when it will be messed up!"

Jia Mu looked around and passed it to Chen Fei.

Compared to Jia Mu's carelessness, Chen Fei looked at it very carefully.

The initial battle report came from May. Affected by the severe drought in the Central Plains, more than one million Yellow Turban troops rebelled on the East. Zheng Sui and Liu Dai were captured in the city without any resistance and died in a bad life. Although Cao Cao took over, he intended to quell the rebellion, but he lacked time to prepare for his troops. He suffered major setbacks when he sent troops for the first time, and his friend Bao Xin died in the battlefield.

However, Cao Cao was still Cao Cao. Although he lost his arm, he won the war with his outstanding military capabilities a few months later, successfully repelled the Yellow Turban thieves and prevented the entire Yanzhou from falling into the hands of the Yellow Turban. But even so, his military strength was still far inferior to the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, which was known as the "million people".

While admiring the heroic battle report of Governor Cao, he heard Jia Xu say:

"A few days ago, I praised Cao Cao as a hero of the world. I did not agree. Two years ago, when the Shandong princes besieged Luoyang, this man had repeatedly fought against the crowd, but he was unable to call on all heroes to advance westward. He was easily defeated by Xu Rong and could only rely on Yuan Shao. Obviously, he was just a mediocre talent. But since last year, I have gradually changed my views on him. Do you know what the reason?"

Chen Fei thought for a moment and shook his head honestly.

I just heard Jia Xu stroke his beard and said:

"That's...Xun Yu of Yingchuan defected to Cao Cao. His virtuous nephew, do you know what kind of person Xun Yu is?"

Chen Fei hesitated for a moment, and did not shake his head this time:

"He was the head of the Xun family of Yingchuan. He was rarely known for his handsomeness and was known as the talent of Wang Zuo. He could almost be regarded as the representative of the entire Yingchuan gentry. He was able to abandon Yuan Shao, who was the three masters of the four generations and dominate Jizhou, and chose Cao Cao, who was vassal under Yuan Shao, to notice that Cao Cao was outstanding."

Jia Xu nodded slightly:

"That's why I have inquired from many ways. Cao Cao did not follow Confucianism or Taoism, but used the punishment orders in the Ming Dynasty. It was an example of Ming Dynasty. Compared to Yuan Shao's politeness and unstoppable behavior, Cao Cao was better at wise and decisive, and was also good at military tactics. It is not an exaggeration to praise him for his integrity in both civil and military affairs."

He continued:

"This person is a descendant of eunuchs and has always been despised by scholars. He was originally the most lacking in fame and could only rely on the support of the Party of Peiguo Township. But Xun Yu came to solve this problem. With the influence of the Xun clan in Yingchuan, Cao Cao will definitely be favored by a large number of Central Plains gentry. At that time..."

He paused for a moment, and Chen Fei naturally continued:

"At that time... Cao Cao will naturally not be willing to be Yuan Shao's vassal again!"

Jia Xu sighed:

"If I don't think about it, the lord of the Central Plains will be determined by Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, among Yuan Shu, Lv Bu, Gongsun Zan, Zhang Yang, Tao Qian, Liu Biao, Liu Yan, Chen Wen, Kong Rong, etc., all mediocre people, and there is no need to worry about it. As the nephew said, Yuan Benchu's wealthy family was above the top. If I defected, I would definitely not be valued. In comparison, Cao Mengde might be able to treat the virtuous and the nobles."

Chen Fei's heart moved:

"Is the Fujun intentionally assisting Cao Cao?"

Jia Xu nodded slowly:

"The world is in turmoil, and we must plan for our children..."

Before he could finish his voice, he heard Jia Mu's panic sound coming from outside the hall:

"Father! Grandmother, grandmother is seriously ill!"
