Chapter 148

Lushan.

The army encamped at the foot of the mountain.

Zhang Xiu's military account was also set up here.

For Zhang Xiu, although he faced the approaching of Cao Cao, he didn't have much pressure. After all, I've seen a lot in my past and present life, and I have decades of experience.

Instead, he was looking forward to the first confrontation with Cao Cao.

In the army, only Zhang Xiu.

Chen Dao and Gan Ning have gone on duty. The two of them are ready to join hands to block Cao Jun who enters Luyang county.

While Zhang Xiu was reading, Jia Xu lifted the curtain of the tent door and entered the tent.

"My Lord!"

Jia Xu bowed his hand to salute.

Zhang Xiu said, "Wenhe is coming. Sit down!"

"Thank you

Jia Xu lifted up his robe and sat down. He said, "these days, I have been trying to deduce the direction of the war with Cao Cao. Thinking about it, I found a mistake. "

Zhang Xiu asked, "what's wrong?"

Jia Xu said: "I asked the local people in Lushan County, and learned that it is really the only way to go from Yanzhou to Luyang county. But in addition, there are also some mountain paths. "

When Zhang Xiu heard the speech, her eyebrows rose.

He immediately understood Jia Xu's intention and said, "Wenhe means to worry that Cao Jun will march from the path to the county seat of Luyang county. Once Cao Jun seizes the county, he can give us a fatal blow from the rear. "

"The prefect is wise!"

Jia Xu nodded with a smile.

It has to be said that Zhang Xiu is really quick to respond. He doesn't need to make it clear to guess his intention.

Jia Xu continued: "as far as I know, almost all the grain sent by ziyuyang county is stationed in Luyang county. If the county seat of Luyang county is lost, it means that our army can no longer get supplies. If Cao's army attacked the rear, it would be a draw from the bottom of the pot. Our rear is cut off and our food and grass are seized. Even if Cao Cao does not attack, we will not be able to survive. "

"Hiss!"

After hearing this, Zhang Xiu took a cool breath.

That's something he didn't take into account.

Zhang Xiu had been looking forward to fighting Cao Cao for a short time, but she ignored the rear.

Jia Xu's words awakened Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu's thoughts scattered, thinking about Cao Cao's current situation. According to historical records, Cao Cao's counselor Xi Zhicai has died of illness, and now it is Guo Jia who gives advice to Cao Cao.

Zhang Xiu is also familiar with Guo Jia. With Guo Jia's character, it is possible for Zhang Xiu to plot a plot to attack the county seat of Luyang county.

Zhang xiudao said, "what you said is true, but how to solve it?"

Jia Xu said: "it's not difficult to report back to my Lord. It just needs a simple adjustment. If the Cao army does not surprise the rear, then our adjustment will have no effect. If the Cao army strikes, it will follow the trend. "

Immediately, Jia Xu said the detailed plan.

After hearing this, Zhang Xiu deliberated carefully and agreed with Jia Xu's suggestion.

It has to be said that Jia Xu is resourceful.

Every step is accurate.

Every step is just right.

In history, when Jia Xu assisted Zhang Xiu, Zhang Xiu was weak, but he defeated Cao Cao twice in a row, making Cao Cao disheartened.

All this is Jia Xu's plan.

With Jia Xu in, Zhang Xiu saves a lot of things.

Zhang Xiu wrote a letter immediately, writing the detailed arrangement on it. Then, he called for the soldiers and ordered them to return to the county seat of Luyang county quickly, so that the county magistrate Lu GUI could make arrangements.

When everything was arranged properly, Zhang Xiu was relieved.

Zhang Xiu changed her words and asked, "Mr. Zhang has come from Guanzhong. How is the situation in Guanzhong now?"

"A mess!"

Jia Xu shook his head and answered.

Jia Xu sighed and said, "now Guo Si and Li Yi are attacking each other, and many other Xiliang troops are occupying and raging. The whole situation in Guanzhong is a mess, which needs to be rectified. As for the people in Guanzhong, they are living in dire straits. "

Zhang Xiu nodded and said, "if we can defeat Cao Cao quickly, we can send troops to Guanzhong as soon as possible."

"I hope so!"

Jia Xu nodded, he also agreed with Zhang Xiu to go north, hoping that Zhang Xiu would have a real foothold as soon as possible.

Nanyang County is too limited.

Zhang Xiu continued: "Sir, I'm under my command. I don't know where your family is now?"

"All in my hometown!"

Jia Xu answered directly.

In his heart, he thought of a possibility that Zhang Xiu would bring his family to Nanyang County?

Jia Xu is unwilling.

Because, for the time being, he is living under the command of Zhang Xiu, and has not recognized Zhang Xiu as the main one.

With a smile on her face, Zhang Xiu said, "my husband is from Xiliang. Now Xiliang is not peaceful. In my opinion, it's better to move my husband's family to Nanyang County. Of course, it has to defeat Cao Cao. If you can't even stop Cao Cao's attack, Nanyang County will not be safe. It's unrealistic for Mr. Cao to move his family here. "Jia Xuchang breathed a sigh of relief.

His heart is more emotional, Zhang Xiu really can handle things, and insight into his ideas.

Obviously, if we don't defeat Cao Cao, Zhang Xiu won't be able to gain a real foothold and not be regarded as a vassal. If Zhang Xiu defeated Cao Cao, it would be enough to have a real foothold in Nanyang and send troops to Chang'an.

At that time, the general trend of Zhang embroidery had become.

If Jia Xu moved his family again, he would be safe and have enough future. At that time, Jia Xu was also willing to be loyal to Zhang Xiu.

Jia Xu said, "please obey your instructions."

Zhang Xiu also showed a smile on her face.

Jia Xu is now following him and playing for him, just looking for a safe place. In fact, there is no real loyalty to him. Once Jia Xu's family is moved here, it means that Jia Xu really works for him.

This is clear to Zhang Xiu.

……

North of Lushan, 15 li away.

This place is only 20 li away from Yanzhou. It is flat and open.

In the spring of February, ice and snow melt.

On the earth, all things have been revived, and countless plants have sprouted and grown. At a glance, the whole earth is green and full of vitality.

"Wow!"

The river flows and winds down.

Luyang County in Nanyang County is located in the north of the Yangtze River system and the southernmost part of the Yellow River system, belonging to the Huaihe River system. In Luyang County, there are many rivers, and the water system is relatively developed.

Near the north of Lushan Mountain, there is a river winding down.

In deep winter, because it was so cold last year, the water surface of the river froze. Now it's spring, the temperature is rising, the ice is melting, but the river is still a little cold.

The river in this area is called Shahe.

To get to Lushan, you have to cross the Shahe River, because the river is eight feet wide at most, and you can only go through the bridge built on the river.

There are few people living around, and there are few boats.

A few miles south of the Shahe River, in a forest. The soldiers led by Ganning are ambushing here. The number of soldiers he brought was not very large, only 2000 soldiers, who were dedicated to stopping the pioneers of Cao Jun.

It has been two days since he arrived here.

All the time, it's ambushed here.

All the soldiers in the army eat dry food. Although the conditions encountered by the soldiers were quite difficult, they were full of fighting spirit and momentum.

Many of them were from Nanyang County. They had been fighting with Zhang Xiu and had long been veterans on the battlefield.

I can bear the hardships.

Gan Ning hid in the dense forest and told his soldiers the story of Cao Cao.

Gambling is strictly prohibited in his army.

Soldiers don't gamble and have nothing to do. They are very bored. Therefore, Gan Ning called all the soldiers and sat together in rows. He said something about Zhang Xiu and Cao Cao.

Gan Ning's understanding of Cao Cao is mostly from Zhang Xiu's mouth.

He held his head high, cadenced, and continued: "although Cao Cao is a hero, he is extremely suspicious and has a strong killing heart. It's said that he failed to assassinate Dong Zhuo. After he left Luoyang, he passed through his old friend LV boshe's family and went to the door. This is Lu Bo she... "

Gan Ning talked about Cao Cao's killing of LV Bohe.

At this time, footsteps came.

"Newspaper!"

A sentinel quickly came to Ganning and reported: "Captain Gan, here comes Cao Jun. The sentinel sent back news that Cao's vanguard, about 3000 people, had arrived near Lianqiao. "

The bridge across the Shahe River is called Lianqiao.

"Here we are at last!"

Gan Ning stood up and said in a loud voice: "brothers, the story will be told later. Now it's time for war. After two days of waiting, Cao Jun finally came. My Lord is waiting for our good news in Lushan. I will kill Cao Jun earlier so that I can ask him for credit. "

All soldiers, come in.

One by one, with high morale on their faces, they all picked up their own weapons, and then prepared with all their strength.

Soon all the soldiers were on alert.

Ganning let his soldiers all hide, waiting quietly on the official road. Because of the flat terrain nearby, it is not easy to use the terrain, so Ganning just hides in the vegetation, waiting quietly.

Time goes by.

The warm sun in spring makes people sleepy.

Gan Ning, however, glared and waited.

"Here it is. Someone is coming."

After waiting for Ganning for a short time, I suddenly saw a black line creeping rapidly on the official road in front of him, running towards his direction.

Here comes Cao Jun!

At this moment, Ganning was in high spirits.
