Chapter 143

Jia Xu stroked his beard with a smile and said, "it's right that the next step of the plan is to capture Guanzhong. In today's Guanzhong area, the Xiliang army is divided into four parts, and each of them is in his own way. "

"This is the most appropriate time to attack Li Xi and Guo Si."

"But Cao Cao is not stupid."

"Cao Cao, who is familiar with the art of war, has a strong vision, and is resolute and heroic. What's more, there are countless generals and talented people under Cao Cao's command. "

"These people are enough to judge the situation in Nanyang County."

"As long as you are a person with vision, you can no longer be allowed to develop."

"So Cao Cao would rather shelve the war in Xuzhou and Yangzhou for the time being than let you grow up. Cao Cao's first task is to contain you. His best plan is to defeat you and capture Nanyang so as to attack Jingzhou. "

Jia Xu analyzed the reason.

Although Jia Xu didn't participate in the process, he said it exactly.

Xu Shu was surprised, but his face was calm. He continued: "since Mr. Jia has accurate judgment, how are you going to solve it?"

"It's not difficult!"

Jia Xu replied with a smile.

Xu Shu said: "I'd like to hear it in detail!"

Zhang Xiu's eyes narrowed with curiosity.

In the first generation, Zhang Xiu's strength was very weak. And Zhang Xiu herself, no idea of the world, not willing to be Liu Biao's shield, more afraid of Cao Cao.

At that time, Cao Cao went south to Xiangyang, and at Jia Xu's suggestion, he directly subordinated to Cao Cao.

So that Cao Cao occupied his aunt.

Although Zhang Xiu finally rebelled against Cao Cao, killed Cao Cao's son Cao ang, and even killed Cao Cao's beloved general Dian Wei under Jia Xu's plan, Zhang Xiu finally chose to surrender and became a minister of Cao Cao's Royal Highness.

Now, it's different.

Zhang Xiu's strength is strong.

He would like to see what kind of advice Jia Yu can give.

Jia Xu is not impatient, light way: "to resist Cao Cao, at least two steps."

"If the two policies are in parallel, we will win this battle."

"In the first step, Zhang Taishou led his troops to the north, stationed in the front line of Luyang County, defended the whole line, and then resisted and blocked step by step, constantly weakening Cao Cao's strength."

"The final purpose is to lure the enemy into the hinterland of Nanyang County. The reason why we want to lure the enemy into depth is to increase the length of the other party's grain supply line, so as to facilitate the counterattack. "

"The second step is to send the debaters to Yangzhou to persuade Yuan Shu to send troops. Cao Shu and Yuan Cao have never dealt with each other. Even under the pressure of Cao Cao, many parts of Yuan Shu were lost. In his heart, Yuan Shu must have wanted revenge. "

"Cao Cao has to be on guard against Lu Bu in Xuzhou and Yuan Shu's attack. He can't bear it."

"In the end, Cao Cao will withdraw."

"As soon as Cao Cao withdraws, he can take advantage of the situation to fight back and take Cao Cao by surprise."

Jia Xu's eyes twinkled with light and said: "Cao Cao is really powerful, but Cao Cao's strength is not the most powerful. He is bound to be unable to hold out if he joins hands with Yuan Shu to attack Cao Cao. "

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

When Xu Shu heard it, he praised it on his own initiative.

Just now, he was also thinking about the strategy to defeat the enemy, but he did not think of uniting Yuan Shu. What I think of is all defense, but I don't think of the overall situation, and I don't think of taking actions from the overall situation to restrain Cao Cao's rear.

As long as Yuan Shu sent troops, Cao Cao would be affected.

It's a wonderful strategy!

The expression on Zhang Xiu's face was also more relaxed. She cheered for Jia Xu's stratagem and said: "Mr. Wenhe's stratagem is really wonderful.".

Jia Xu said with a smile, "how many troops can Zhang Taishou mobilize now?"

Zhang xiudao said: "there are more than 15000 elite soldiers, including the rest of the auxiliary soldiers, there are more than 20000 soldiers."

Zhang Xiu's strength is constantly increasing.

There are excellent troops and strong generals, and they are extremely strong.

After thinking for a while, Jia Xu nodded: "20000 people, enough. In my opinion, even if Cao Cao sent troops, the largest number of troops would be 30000. He is the strong attack side, Zhang Taishou mainly defends, 20000 people and horses are enough to resist

Zhang Xiu nodded in agreement.

Jia Xu continued: "the only problem is that once there is a war, it will consume countless money and food. Taishou Zhang, if the war lasts for several months, can you persist? It's impossible to support without enough money and food. "

With a smile, Zhang Xiu confidently said, "in terms of money and food, Mr. Wenhe is at ease. When it comes to money and food, I have no shortage. Liu Biao has promised that in the near future, he will send 100000 tons of grain, which is enough to support the war. As for money, it is impossible to run out of money in my Treasury. "

"Oh, it happened!"

Jia Xu praised: "with Liu Biao's support, Zhang Taishou is the best."

He didn't doubt Zhang Xiu's words.When it comes to such an important matter, Zhang Xiu can't lie.

Zhang Xiu changed her words and said, "Wenhe first came to Yuyang county and temporarily lives in the prefect's residence. Later, I will ask Yuanzhi to arrange a residence for Mr. Yu Wenhe. "

"Thank you."

Jia Xu gave thanks.

Zhang Xiu arranges for the servant to lead Jia Xu to step down.

Xu Shu said: "Lord, although Jia Xu came to join us, he never worshipped him. It seems that it is not easy to accept Jia Xu. He does have talent, but is he reliable? "

"Reliable!"

Zhang Xiu nodded and answered.

Zhang Xiu continued: "Yuanzhi, you have never been in the Xiliang army, so you don't know Jia Xu. He is a very resourceful man. He is highly valued by either Dong Zhuo or Li Xi. "

"Even if Li Ru, Dong Zhuo's counselor in the past, was respectful to Jia Xu."

"This man's stratagem is always vicious."

"He is more of an egoist."

"Now I'm obedient. In order to have a foothold and live a stable life, I'll give you some advice."

Zhang Xiu said: "Yuan Zhi knows that after Wang Yun killed Dong Zhuo, he took control of the court hall and was ready to kill the commander of the Xiliang army. At that time, the generals of the Xiliang army were in a state of panic and prepared to retreat and flee. Who was the one who came up with the plan to make Li Xi, Guo Si and others enter Luoyang and regain control of the government? "

"Jia Xu?"

Xu Shu guessed that when it comes to Jia Xu, it must be him.

Zhang Xiu said, "it's really Jia Xu."

"At the beginning, the court heard that it was going to kill all the generals of the Xiliang army. Jia Xu is also a member of the Xiliang army. In order to protect himself and avoid being investigated for responsibility by the imperial court, he personally persuaded Li Xi and Guo Si to tell them that once they retreat, they will die. "

"If you enter Luoyang, there is still a chance of life."

"It's true!"

"The Xiliang army gathered together like a fierce tiger, while Wang Yun, who was stationed in Luoyang, was proud and self righteous, and finally ended up in the end of death."

Zhang Xiu said in a deep voice: "it can be said that Jia Xu's stratagem directly led to the fall of Huang Quan, and also led to the emperor's becoming a puppet, resulting in the disaster of the Xiliang army in Guanzhong. But from the perspective of military strategy, Jia Xu's plan is extremely accurate and can be called a fatal blow. "

"Hiss!"

When Xu Shu heard the speech, he took a breath.

He felt the poison of Jia Xu.

Xu Shu shook his head and said with emotion: "Jia Xu is really bold and unbridled. If I knew that the Xiliang army would cause death after it entered Luoyang, I would not have done such a trick. "

"Different people have different ways of dealing with them," Zhang said

Xu Shu continued: "indeed, I have my bottom line and insistence. I will not disturb the imperial court or harm the innocent people. Jia Xu said that although he was powerful, he was careful to use it. "

Zhang Xiu said: "I can grasp this scale. In fact, it's a good sword to use. With Jia Xu, we can solve a lot of things. "

Xu Shu said: "my Lord is wise!"

After a pause, Xu Shu continued: "there are Cao troops in Luyang county. When does the Lord plan to lead the troops north?"

Zhang Xiu thought a little and said, "after January, although the weather is still cold, it will take at least half a month for the army to start from Yuyang county and reach Luyang County in the north

"If there is a road jam, it will take even longer, at least a month."

"When we arrive in Luyang County, it is expected to be spring in February."

"At that time, the weather was warm and war could begin. Therefore, it is better to go north as soon as possible than later. Tomorrow morning, I will lead the army northward and go to Luyang county

Zhang Xiu said: "Yuanzhi, you are still in the rear, and arrange people to go to Yangzhou to persuade Yuanshu to send troops."

Xu Shu said, "don't worry, my Lord. I understand your humble position."

"Good!"

Zhang Xiu nodded, no more words, let Xu Shu to deal with the things in hand.
