Seeing everyone's expressions of excitement, Xu Shu was young and competitive after all. He glanced provocatively at Jia Xu who was sitting beside him and asked, "What do you think, Mr. Wenhe?"
Jia Xu nodded slightly and said calmly: "Xu generally agrees with what Yuan Zhi said. For the current plan, if we take a step further, we will be exhausted, and if we take a step back, the sky will be brighter. But..."
When Xu Shu heard this, he was overjoyed at first, but after hearing only two words, his heart skipped a beat. Jia Xu continued: "Yuan Zhi ignored the identity of the lord. If I were Cao Cao, I would not hesitate to do anything if I found out that the lord had done anything. Kill it at all costs, so Xu not only supports Yuan Zhi, but also has some different opinions."
He Sian, who was in the first place, looked at this talkative, handsome middle-aged man with a slightly strange expression, and thought to himself: 'Is this still the guy who wants to have a full-body mosaic when he sees Cao Cao and others? '
However, He Si'an also understood that this was just Jia Xu's way of life. It would be a big mistake to look down on this person. He Si'an quickly gathered his mood, stood up, bowed his head, and said, "I would like to hear your opinion, sir."
Jia Xu continued: "I dare to ask you, in these troubled times, what is the most important?" Yan Bi looked at everyone.
Everyone pondered, Zhang Heng and Zhang Yan looked at each other, Zhang Heng said: "Army, territory?"
Jia Xu shook his head slightly and looked at Xu Shu aside.
"Great justice? Or is it the support of the people?" Xu Shu said uncertainly.
Jia Xu nodded slightly, looked at the thoughtful He Sian, and said: "The first is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the army, and the second is to attack the city. What Yuan Zhi said makes sense, but there is a contradiction here. Although On the surface, we have righteousness, but in fact we don’t. To be precise, Xu feels that the identity of the lord must not be disclosed before the master is still young, and I believe everyone agrees on this."
Everyone nodded in agreement, and even Zhang Heng and Zhang Yan knew that once He Sian's identity was exposed, there were only two consequences, either he would become a target of public criticism, or he would be exploited by someone with ulterior motives.
After seeing everyone's expressions, Jia Xu walked to the center of the venue and changed from his usual low-key behavior. Instead, he said a little crazy: "Everyone here is the confidant of the lord, and Xu knows everything he can say. First of all, what Yuan Zhi said. Xu deeply agrees. Xiliang must take it. But my lord’s top priority is to take advantage of the situation!”
Xu Shu's eyes lit up and he heard Jia Xu in the middle of the field continue to say: "Also, although Liangzhou wants to take it, it's not us who takes it, but Lu Bu!"
Hearing this, everyone was shocked, and even He Sian, who was sitting in the first seat, frowned slightly. Although it seems now that Lu Bu is quite different from the reality and the interpretation, He Sian is really worried about handing over the entire Liangzhou to Lu Bu. But he also understood that Jia Xu's strategy would definitely have consequences.
Jia Xu had a clear view of everyone's reactions and continued: "Yuan Zhi said before that Liangzhou can be a retreat, but Xu feels that this is a passive choice. Lu Bu's occupation of Liangzhou has three benefits."
'Well...it's true that experts all use the number three. ' He Si'an thought.
Jia Xu continued: "First, when it comes to taking Liangzhou, although Lu Bu's troops are not as powerful as Li Jue's troops, they are better because they have famous generals such as Hua Xiong and Gao Shun, and are assisted by top advisers like Li Ru. With Ma Teng and other forces assisting from the side, they can be considered evenly matched with Li Jue. Only a long and fierce battle will make Cao Cao, the Yuan brothers and others relax their vigilance. This is one of them!
Secondly, Lu Bu was different from his lord. As Lu Bu, even if he occupied Liangzhou, he would not be able to get the support of the clans. After all, he was only the adopted son of the Grand Master, not his biological son. Therefore, the master can rest assured that he will grow bigger. Moreover... the righteousness of Xiliang is different from that of the Central Plains. The Lord only needs to do one thing to firmly grasp the righteousness of Xiliang! "
Not to mention that the Zhang brothers didn't understand, even Xu Shu and He Sian were a little confused. He Sian cupped his hands and said, "I would like to hear your opinion, Mr. Wen!"
"Marriage, marriage with Lord Weiyang!"
Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this. Only He Sian had a slightly strange expression and thought to himself: 'Xiao Bai? Just started a harem without knowing it? Is this good? '
Xu Shu also walked a few steps in the field, then clapped his hands and said loudly: "Wonderful! Although the reputation of the Grand Master is resented in the Central Plains, it is deeply loved in Xiliang. In this way, the Lord can While not revealing his true identity, he won the support of the Xiliang clan, and..." Xu Shu glanced at Jia Xu in the field, saw him smiling and nodding, and continued: "Mr. Wenhe's third point should be the so-called Go up and attack with our troops. This way, we can gain the hearts of the people of Xiliang without spending a single soldier. Moreover, Lu Bu and Cao Cao have a grudge against their father, so my lord is his only way out."
Everyone was amazed. After a while, He Sian looked at Jia Xu and said, "Mr. Wenhe, what do we need to do?"
Jia Xu smiled slightly and shocked everyone with his words: "Let's take Yizhou!!"
He Sian was not shocked. After all, although Liu Yan from Yizhou was quite talented, he was weak, and his successor Liu Zhang was a notorious idiot, even competing with Adou. But He Si'an couldn't help but flash across the mind of the apprentice Tong Yuan had mentioned before, his eyes slightly erratic.
Different from He Sian's divergent thoughts, the others did not know all this and looked at Jia Xu in shock.
Seeing He Sian's calm expression, Jia Xu was slightly surprised. After all, young people rarely have the ability to express their emotions and anger.
Jia Xu continued unhurriedly: "When talking about Yizhou, we have to mention the current Yizhou Prefect, Liu Yan and Liu Junlang. Unlike Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others, this person is a clan member of the Han Dynasty and is naturally hostile to Cao Cao and others. , and has been suffering from illness in recent years, and it seems that his life is not long. His son Liu Zhang is innocent by nature and is not suitable for troubled times. With Liu Yan's resourcefulness, he naturally knows that when he goes to the west one day, Yizhou will only be annexed by others. Lu, and as Liu Zhang’s status as a clan member of the Han Dynasty, he will either be exploited by someone with ulterior motives, or he will be..."
Jia Xu did not continue, but everyone else understood what he meant.
Jia Xu continued: "For Liu Yan, the appearance of the lord is as crucial as a life-saving straw. For the Yizhou clan, instead of following Liu Zhang who is destined to have a bad end, why not support Hanzhong and What about the lord who has the support of Liangzhou? According to Yi Xu, there is only one opportunity left. By then the lord will be sitting in Liangzhou and Bashu. If he advances, he can send troops out of Longyou to join forces with Yuan Shao of Hebei to attack Cao Cao. If he retreats, he can also join forces with Liu Biao of Jingzhou and Liu Yao of Jiangdong. Wait until the Han clan clans unite and become evenly matched with the final victor from the Central Plains."
Everyone was deep in thought. Xu Shu broke the silence first and said: "There is another problem here..." He looked at the Zhang Heng brothers opposite and hesitated to speak.
He Sian reacted first, laughed loudly, stood up and came to Xu Shu's side, patted his shoulder: "What Yuan Zhi is worried about is that the master is weak and the minister is strong."
Zhang Heng and the two people opposite him were also stunned, and then laughed out loud. It was not that they hated Xu Shu, they were even happy to have such a knowledgeable person around He Si'an. The two of them stood up and came to the crowd. Zhang Heng said, "Leaving aside the relationship between me and my lord as son-in-law, does Yuan Zhi know the origin of my Zhang family in Hanzhong?"
Xu Shu shook his head and said: "Is it the Taoist Master that General Zhang said?"
Zhang Heng said solemnly: "To be honest, I am the ninth descendant of Zhang Liang, Marquis of Han Dynasty. Since my ancestors, my Zhang family has had the ancestral precept of assisting the Han Dynasty, and my grandfather Zhang Daoling entrusted me with a dream when I was young. , his old man had long expected that the Han Dynasty would have such a situation, so he arranged all this in advance in his dream. No matter Hanzhong or our Black Mountain lineage, their true identities are all the retainers of the lord. We have only one purpose, that is By assisting the lord to leave the Han Dynasty one day, I, the Zhang family, can follow my grandfather and concentrate on preaching. That’s all.”
Xu Shu was greatly moved, nodded, looked at Jia Xu and said, "Mr. Wenhe, then Yizhou..."
Jia Xu nodded with a smile and said: "Yuanzhi is really quick in thinking. Yizhou is easy to get, but difficult to stabilize. To avoid Yuanzhi's worries, what we need to do is..."
"Immigrate!" Xu Shu and Jia Xu said in unison. Xu Shu was overjoyed at first, then frowned and asked, "What does Mr. Wenhe mean...to move the people from Heishan to Bashu? But such a large-scale population transfer can hardly escape the eyes and ears of all forces."
Jia Xu also changed his previous confidence and said with a solemn expression: "This is indeed a problem, but... it is something that must be done. First of all, the Black Mountain Army is regarded by the world as the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, and in addition to what Yuan Shao previously preached in Hebei The so-called remnants of Zhang Jiao will inevitably be attacked by groups if they continue to stay in Hebei, so they must leave!
In addition, if this matter is completed, for the public, Yizhou is a land of abundance, with thousands of miles of fertile land, which can give these hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians a stable living space. For private purposes, it will not only solve the hidden worries of Yizhou's local power becoming bigger, but also As long as we publicize it properly, our lord's name of benevolence and righteousness can be spread. When the Central Plains is at war, we can use this to attract more people to reduce the power gap with the Central Plains. As for how to cross the sea, Xu could only think of taking advantage of Li Jue's rebellion in Liangzhou and entering Hanzhong in the name of refugees or the remnants of the imperial master.
However, this is only a temporary measure. Whether this plan is successful or not depends on the fact that Montenegro must have an army to stay behind to give people the illusion that the Montenegrin army is still in place. The longer this army can support it, the faster our immigration plan will proceed. If everything goes smoothly, this requires long-term planning. "
After everyone discussed for a while, they left the hut.
Ten days later
"Your Highness, I am grateful to have taken you in, but I must avenge my adoptive father. Now that I have recovered from my injuries, I am ready to set out to reorganize the old troops and fight to the death with Thief Li."
He Sian repeatedly tried to persuade him to stay, but he couldn't resist Lu Bu and others and decided to leave. Finally, he decided to leave early tomorrow morning and return to Weiyang to meet up with Li Ru, Gao Shun and others.
Soon, He Sian also returned to his residence. Just as he was about to enter the house, he was stopped by an old man. He Sian took a closer look and saw that it was Tong Yuan. Tong Yuan stopped talking. He Sian smiled and said, "Sir, if you have anything to do, it's okay to just say it!"
Tong Yuan blushed and said helplessly: "I also have a disciple who is upright and outstanding in martial arts and archery. I like him very much. This person is currently serving under Liu Yan, but because he comes from a poor family, he is not reused. Sir, can you…"
He Sian was shocked when he heard this, and a name flashed through his heart...
