Chapter 142

The expression on Zhang Xiu's face immediately became serious.

In his impression, Cao Cao should have a period of time before he could send troops to attack Nanyang. But this life, but it is early on the border, made to attack Nanyang County intention.

Obviously, this is the threat brought by Zhang Xiu's strength enhancement.

In fact, the strength of Zhang Xiu today is quite different from that of the first generation.

Once upon a time, he did not have many troops.

Today, strength has increased too much.

It is reasonable for Cao Cao to arrange ahead of time. In the rapid expansion of Zhang Xiu, Cao Cao did not stop it. Once Zhang Xiu's strength expanded to Guanzhong, Cao Cao would have a headache.

Zhang Xiu took a deep breath, suppressed her surprise, and said: "in this way, our plan of going north to attack Guanzhong in the next year can only be put on hold. At present, the first priority is to spare no effort to resist Cao Cao. "

"Yes

Xu Shu nodded solemnly.

When Cao Cao went south, Xu Shu also had great pressure.

Cao Cao gave orders to the princes and ruled Yanzhou, Qingzhou and part of Yuzhou. He was second only to Yuan Shao in Hebei Province. Zhang Xiu is just a county. It's very stressful for anyone to resist Cao Cao.

Zhang Xiu had a fierce look in her eyes. She clenched her fist and threw a voice: "if Cao Cao wants to fight, we will fight. Although our strength is weaker, we are not without the strength of the first World War. "

Zhang Xiu is full of resentment towards Cao's family.

Once upon a time, Cao Cao forcibly occupied his aunt Zou's family, humiliating his Uncle Zhang Ji.

Once upon a time, Cao Pi forced him to death.

Now, Zhang Xiu wants to get all this back one by one.

Knowing that he had to fight, Xu Shu said, "if you want to fight Cao Cao, you'll have to prepare to go north and stay in Luyang county to resist with layout. Luyang county and Yanzhou border, and anthracite in, is a very important place. There is no room for loss in this place. "

Nowadays, anthracite has been sold on a large scale in Nanyang County.

Many people began to use it.

It's cheap, after all.

Zhang Xiu nodded and agreed with Xu Shu's analysis.

"Newspaper!"

Suddenly, a soldier came into the study and reported: "my Lord, there is a man from outside the mansion. He is about fifty years old. He is elegant and has great bearing. He said that he was your old friend and came from Guanzhong to see you. "

"Old friend?"

Zhang Xiu's eyes narrowed.

He knew many old friends. How could he remember them in a hurry.

Suddenly, Zhang Xiu's eyes brightened.

He thought of a man.

Zhang xiuceng stood up, looked at Xu Shu and said, "Yuanzhi, follow me to meet him. If it was him, he alone would be worth a thousand troops. "

"Who?"

Xu Shu was curious.

One person is worth thousands of troops, which is not simple, and has been called a national.

Zhang Xiu did not delay her time and went out immediately.

Xu Shu followed closely.

After a short time, they came to the gate of the prefecture. Zhang Xiu looked around and saw the old man outside the house clearly. On her angular face, she showed a bright smile.

If it was him!

It was Jia Xu who came.

In his first life, Jia Xu went to Zhang Xiu from Guanzhong to Nanyang. He was a counselor around Zhang Xiu and gave advice for him. Unfortunately, at that time, Zhang Xiu didn't have the ambition to compete in the world, and her character was rough, brave and resourceless, so she couldn't be supported by mud.

Even if Jia Xu's wisdom is outstanding, it will not help.

In the end, Jia Xu became Cao Cao's counselor.

Zhang Xiu saw Jia Xu with a smile on her face. She closed her hands and said, "Mr. Wenhe, I haven't seen you for many years. You are still elegant."

When he was in the Xiliang army, he knew Jia Xu, and the relationship between the two sides was good.

That's why Jia Xu went south.

Of course, Zhang Xiu also knows Jia Xu's situation. It must have been Jia Xu who didn't think much of Li Xi and Guo Si, so he left Guanzhong and went south to Nanyang County to seek a place for him.

Jia Xu was stunned to see Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu in front of him is quite different from Zhang Xiu in his impression.

Zhang Xiu, once a martial arts man, was vulgar in speech, reckless in behavior, and impetuous in hair. She was not so calm, and her temper was also quite impatient. She was a man who didn't understand.

Today's Zhang Xiu is as warm as jade. A station at the door, there is a superior who is not humble posture, let a person like spring breeze, is very comfortable.

In fact, Jia Xu arrived in Yuyang county early.

He left Guanzhong last year and came to Yuyang county to join Zhang Xiu.

But when Jia Xu arrived, Zhang Xiu happened to go to Xiangyang to ask for a marriage, which caused Jia Xu to find no one. So Jia Xu stayed in Yuyang county. Knowing that Zhang Xiu came back, he immediately came to see her.

During his stay in Yuyang County, he learned all kinds of news about Zhang Xiu.All the news shocked Jia Xu.

Is this Zhang Xiu he knows?

There has been such a big change.

Jia Xu's original intention was to find a place to live. He didn't ask for anything else but to settle down under Zhang Xiu. But after listening to Zhang Xiu's deeds, he also vaguely hopes that Zhang Xiu is a master.

It'll show him what he's good at.

Jia Xu returned to his senses and said with a smile, "the old lady Zhang Zhesha is. Old and rotten wood can't afford such a big gift from empress dowager Zhang. Now, I can't stay in Guanzhong, so I've come to go to Zhang Taizhou. I hope Zhang Taizhou will accept me. "

Zhang Xiu said: "it's Zhang Xiu's honor that Mr. Wenhe can come. Please

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang."

Jia Xu bowed his hand to return the gift, which was incorporated with Zhang Xiuyi.

Xu Shu also followed him back, but he was curious. Although the old man in front of him had extraordinary bearing and handled appropriately, there was nothing particularly outstanding.

Entering the hall, the guests and the host take their seats.

Zhang Xiu immediately introduced Xu Shu to Jia Xu, and said that Xu Shu was the county magistrate. She also introduced Jia Xu to Xu Shu, and then said, "Mr. Wenhe is new here. How about being a right military adviser?"

"No problem!"

Jia Xu answered directly.

He is also clear about the situation under Zhang Xiu's command. He knows that Pang Tong is the military adviser beside Zhang Xiu. Now when he comes, he will serve as the right military adviser, which can be regarded as Zhang Xiu's confidant.

It's already pretty good.

For Jia Xu, that's enough!

As a matter of fact, Jia Xu himself is not very keen on power.

He only wanted a safe place in troubled times. If he asked for power, when he was in Chang'an, Dong Zhuo wanted to reuse him, he would not refuse, but refused.

When he arrived at Li Yu, he also hoped to get Jia Xu's help. He also wanted to reuse Jia Xu, but he was rejected by Jia Xu.

Zhang Xiu said, "Mr. Wenhe, just now I was discussing with Yuanzhi about how to deal with Cao Cao. Now Cao Cao's troops are stationed at the border of Nanyang County. I'm afraid that he will send his troops south to attack Nanyang County after the Spring Festival. What do you think of that? "

Jia Xu stroked his beard under his jaw and thought carefully.

A moment later, Jia Xu said, "if I had expected that, the next step is to go north to Guanzhong and take the place of Guanzhong as the foundation, right?"

"Yes

Zhang Xiu answered directly.

It is also very normal to infer from Jia Xu's wisdom his intention to go north.

Xu Shu was also surprised.

He didn't know Jia Xu, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he pointed out the most confidential things under Zhang Xiu's command. Zhang Xiu's next step is indeed to go north to Guanzhong. Although Zhang Xiu told Liu Biao in Xiangyang, in fact, it is a secret in Yuyang county and even Nanyang County.

For the time being, no one knows the news, but Jia Xu infers it directly.

That's great.

Such people, even Xu Shu, also feel very capable.

He also cheered up and listened carefully. He wanted to see what Jia Xu could say.
