Chapter 196

Zhang Xiu took a rest in Yuyang County for some time. When Huang Yueying's mother arrived in Yuyang County, he set out North and went to Luyang county again. After all, he had to exchange hostages at the border of Luyang county.

This time Zhang Xiu went north, still led 20000 troops.

The normal number of elite soldiers under his command will be maintained for the time being, and more of them are auxiliary soldiers.

Zhang Xiu was accompanied by two generals, Gan Ning and Chen Zhi, as well as Pang Tong and Jia Xu, who acted as counselors and counsellors for Zhang Xiu at any time.

Twenty thousand elites are already a powerful force.

The army went all the way north.

When Zhang Xiu went to Luyang County in the north, he had already begun to send sentries. First, he went to Guanzhong to get familiar with the situation of Sili area and the strength of Xiliang army in Chang'an and Luoyang.

Only when you know yourself and the other can you win a hundred battles.

Zhang Xiu must find out the situation of the Xiliang army, otherwise it is not good to enter Guanzhong in a panic.

After all, there's time right now.

When Zhang Xiu led his troops to the north, Jia Xu was thinking about the tactics to deal with the generals of the central and Western Liang army. It was not long for him to be under Zhang Xiu's command. Before he came, he had been in Guanzhong and knew the situation of the Liangjun army in Guanzhong.

Now Guanzhong is in chaos.

The generals of the Xiliang army, big and small, were on their own.

There is no unified arrangement.

There is no unified army.

They all attack each other.

Among the biggest warlords in Xiliang, there are only three left: Li Xi, Guo Si and Duan Lu. The rest of the Xiliang army are not to worry about. But of the three, Guo Si is the weakest, unable to compete with Li and Duan.

The strongest is Duan simmer.

The reason is that when Liu Xie left Chang'an and went to Luoyang, he was attacked by Li Xi and others.

Duan Xun was different. Although he was also the Ministry of Dong Zhuo, he devoted himself to serving the emperor and won the praise of Liu Xie and the Chinese military officers and generals of the court. In addition, Cao Cao wanted to use Duan Xun's power to wipe out the Xiliang army, so he sent someone to contact Duan Xun and secretly supported Duan Xun, hoping that Duan Xun would return to the court.

Cao Cao's many allies, and Duan's reputation is good, so the troops under his command are not weak, but also growing.

On the contrary, Li He, who was once the most powerful, was much weaker because he was overbearing, arrogant and domineering. In addition, he failed to pursue Liu Xie for several times and lost his general after several battles.

This is what Jia Xu knew when he left Guanzhong.

Jia Xu is not sure what the situation is. However, based on some of the information he learned in the past, Jia Xu was able to make a response arrangement and make a general judgment.

Towards noon, the troops were stationed and recuperated.

Jia Xu got up and came to Zhang Xiu. He bowed to Zhang Xiu and solemnly said, "Lord, I have something to report."

Zhang xiudao said, "Mr. Zhong De, please say it."

Jia Xu said slowly: "although we still have to rely on sentinels to get information about the central and Western Liang army, we know the general situation of the Western Liang army. After thinking about his humble duty, there may be a way to easily enter Guanzhong without a single soldier. "

Zhang Xiu said, "what's the plan?"

Jia Xu said, "the false way is to attack Guo."

The purpose of the so-called "false Dao cutting Guo" is, on the surface, to pass through a and then to destroy B. After B is destroyed, the troops will be transferred and company a will be destroyed together. Or, in the name of borrowing from the other party, destroy the other party.

In history, Liu Bei's entry into Sichuan was a copy of the stratagem of attacking the Guo State.

Zhang Xiu a listen, general had cognition, way: "how to arrange concretely?"

Jia Xu replied: "in the Xiliang army, Guo is the weakest. Under the pressure of Li Xi and Duan Lu, he has become increasingly difficult. Under such a premise, if the Lord contacted Guo Si, expressed his willingness to form an alliance with him, and led his troops into Guanzhong to help Guo Si stabilize the situation and eliminate Li Xi and Duan Yao, Guo Si would certainly agree. "

Zhang Xiu's eyes narrowed and said with a smile: "I understand your plan. First, he made an alliance with Guo Si to destroy the Xiliang army in Guanzhong. After unifying Guanzhong, we will deal with Guo Si again, right? "

"Yes

Jia Xu answered directly.

He continued: "the Lord knows the situation of Wuguan. As the gateway to the south of Chang'an, it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It will be very difficult to attack Wuguan by force. If Guo Si took the initiative to open Wuguan and welcome the Lord to enter, the army could drive straight into Guanzhong. It will not be difficult to sweep Guanzhong. "

"Well, that's it."

Zhang Xiu's eyes narrowed and said, "but this plan requires people to go to Guanzhong to lobby Guo Si. Otherwise, the plan will not be implemented. "

"But it is

Jia Xu took the initiative to say: "under the Lord's command, those who are most familiar with the situation in Guanzhong, and who are more familiar with Li Xi and Guo Si, are only humble. This time, he lobbied Guo Si and was willing to go. "

Zhang xiudao said: "Guanzhong is too chaotic. If you go to Guanzhong, it will be quite dangerous."

Jia Xu said: "it's just a small matter, not enough to mention."

Zhang Xiu thought about it and said, "if you want to go to Guanzhong, I won't stop you. But when you go to Guanzhong, I'll let Gan Ning go with you to protect your safety. ""Thank you

Jia Xu gave thanks with his fists, and felt more steadfast in his heart.

He knew Guo Si's situation very well, and now in Guo Si's army, even including Guo Si himself, it was not Gan Ning's opponent. With Ganning's protection, his safety is no problem.

Zhang Xiu asked, "when will you start, sir?"

Jia Xu replied: "the earlier we start, the better. We have passed Wan County, and we will arrive at Luyang County in the near future. I plan to turn to the West now and enter Guanzhong from Wuguan. "

"Please don't worry, my Lord. I will come back from Guanzhong as soon as possible."

"Slow is two months, fast is one month."

"At that time, the Lord can go north to Guanzhong. During this period of time, we have to ask the Lord to stay in Nanyang County for the time being and wait for the news of his humble position. "

Jia Xu gave suggestions.

This is his adjustment to the original plan, but it is more conducive to Zhang Xiu's attack on Guanzhong.

Zhang Xiu said with a smile: "Mr. hard."

Jia Xu said: "it's not hard. It's the duty of humble duty."

Now that he has been subordinated to Zhang Xiu, especially since Zhang Xiu has a sign of being a master, he hopes that Zhang Xiu can get a foothold in Guanzhong early and become one of the princes in the world, and finally have a chance to sweep the world.

Zhang Xiu said some polite words again, but she didn't say any more.

After lunch, the army went on.

However, he and his troops are no longer going to Guanzhong with him.

Zhang Xiu is all the way north.

When the army arrived at the county seat of Luyang County, Zhang Xiu met Lu GUI, listened to Lu GUI's report on the situation of Luyang County, and then continued on her way. When Zhang Xiu arrived in Lushan, Lushan was prosperous again.

Coal mining continues.

Although the weather is getting warmer and anthracite is no longer available, it is still being mined.

This is a storage mine.

When it comes to this winter, it can be taken out for further use.

Zhang Xiu didn't stay in Lushan. She continued to go north. After crossing Lianqiao, she soon came to the border of Luyang county and camped two miles away from the junction with Yanzhou.

Zhang Xiu arrives and waits in place.

Time goes by day.

In late March, Zhang Xiu got information from the sentinel that Cheng Yu, as Cao Cao's envoy, came to the border of Luyang county with his team and Cao Jie.

Before Cheng Yu's army arrived, Kuai Yue went to the border first.

When Kuai Yue set out from Xiangyang to Yuyang County, Nanyang County, Zhang Xiu had just been on the expedition for a few days. Kuai Yue handed over the armor and weapons he had brought to Xu Shu, and he went up all the way.

Take a carriage and drive quickly.

When Zhang Xiu arrived at the border of Yuyang County, Kuai Yue followed closely. He came to the gate of the camp, reported by the soldiers, soon, under the guidance of the soldiers, came to Zhang Xiu's Chinese army tent.

Kuai Yue arched his hand and said, "I've seen you."

Zhang Xiu waved her hand and said, "Mr. Yidu, you don't need to be polite. You come from Xiangyang and go all the way to Luyang county. I don't know what's important?"
