The streets of Chang'an are busy and lively.
This place was originally a big city with a population of one million. Dong Zhuo moved most of the population of Luoyang here. After the 18th Route princes retreated, Chang'an City naturally retained its prosperity. That is to say, the Chu State has become increasingly powerful. In the past few years, Jianye's reputation has gradually overtaken Chang'an.
A gorgeous carriage stopped in front of the embassy. Jia Xu, who had changed into casual clothes, got out of the car, glanced at the street casually, and then walked into the embassy.
"Wei envoy Song Yi has met the Grand Tutor."
The Wei envoy received the news and quickly came to a room to meet Jia Xu.
At this time, Jia Xu had already sat down and was playing with the tea set. Hearing this, he raised his head and glanced at Song Yi. His face that was good at changing seemed to freeze. he asked, pushing a cup of tea to the other side of the table.
"Do you and I really want this?"
Song Yi sat on the other side of the table, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, frowning.
"I wonder why Mr. Jia is here this time?"
Jia Xu snorted lightly and rolled his eyes.
"Guiyi, let's stop playing this nonsense between you and me. I know that Onizuka must have received some information, but you are happy to see Chu go to war with Qin, and Qin to be more dependent on Wei. Tell me something. Sima Yi, Chu State is very powerful today, if he loses control, Qin State will be gone, and Wei State will also be destroyed!"
Song Yi paused, and he was not in a hurry to deny that Wei had not received the news. After all, the two countries had been feuding for a long time. Dong Zhuo would not believe it, and neither would Jia Xu.
In fact, there is no need to explain. The weakest among the Three Kingdoms is Qin. Now it is Qin that needs help from Wei!
After thinking for a while, Song Yi nodded slightly and said.
"I will bring these words to you, sir. Is there anything else?"
"When Sun Ce becomes emperor, who is in the cabinet? In this campaign against Qin, who will be the leader, Zhou Yu or Ji Shu?"
Qin and Wei have cooperated to some extent in recent years, and this is also to deal with the already powerful Chu State, but the extent of cooperation is not up to Song Yi, even in the intelligence field he is responsible for.
Song Yi hesitated for a moment and said.
"I will not withhold the information I can give to Qin. But I understand what you mean. I will also give the king a memorial stating the interests and share the information with you as much as possible."
Jia Xu's tense face relaxed slightly and continued.
"It saves trouble to talk to smart people. Who is the general manager in Chu State now? Help me with some things."
When Song Yi heard this, his eyes suddenly widened.
"This is impossible!"
Jia Xu is simply kicking his nose in the face! Did he think that because he was easy to talk to, he could climb up the pole?
Song Yi lowered his face and said sternly.
"Wenhe, I want to remind you that Onizuka is just the intelligence department of Wei! You have lost the duel. Lord Guo Jia decided to sever the inheritance for his own reasons. You have no position to influence Onizuka's affairs."
Hehehe~
This is to draw a clear line with him!
Jia Xu felt a twinge of pain that he hadn't seen in a long time. He no longer had the calm or pretentious expression of the past, and said coldly.
"Oh, people's hearts are unpredictable. Without the art of vertical and horizontal skills, there would be no suspicion and opposition. Art is the sword in the hands of our counselors. The sword is good, but the bad thing is the human heart! He, Guo Fengxiao, is stupid, so you are going to follow him and be stupid?"
Song Yi sighed leisurely and said.
"Confucianism has gone from "the people are the most precious and the king is the least important" to Dong Zhongshu's "the power of the king is given by heaven"; the Taoists do everything themselves and educate the people in a corner; the Mohists abandon the complicated and keep the simple and gather together the righteousness in the world. Who remains unchanged? "
"Everything is changing, and this is the only unchanging truth. Seeing this clearly is the reason why the elders chose Lord Guo Jia back then. I can't comment on what happened back then, but losers are no longer qualified to care about Onizuka. Choose. Wen He, please go back. I will tell you if King Wei is willing to share information with Qin."
Jia Xu didn't answer immediately. He just picked up the tea on the table and drank it in one gulp. He was silent for a long time before speaking.
"Sima Yi is young and energetic, and he is bent on playing political tricks and delaying important events. I'd like to trouble Song Dynasty.
Your Excellency, convey to Mr. Xun Yu that the State of Qin is willing to formally form an alliance with the State of Wei. "
After that, Jia Xu stood up and left with a normal expression.
······
Dangu.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten days passed, and the Chu army's vanguard of 20,000 troops had arrived outside Duangu County in Tianshui County. They crossed Chencang to the east, and after laying down the Xicheng Fortress, they could march to Chang'an City.
At this moment, the army was not in a hurry to attack the city, but instead set up camp thirty miles away.
"How about it? After taking down Duangu, do you still want to go to Chencang?"
The person who spoke was General Wang Wei, and the person beside him was General Zhang Yun. The two were good friends, so they walked to the big tent while chatting.
Zhang Yun touched the beard on his temples and said.
"The credit is not so easy to get. The main force of the Qin army must be stationed in Yicheng. If we go to Chencang and run into the elite of the Qin army, we may not be able to get a good deal."
Now, the Yulin Army is replenishing and recuperating in Hanzhong, and it will take at least half a month to transfer most of Yizhou's troops and horses. I heard that Yunnan will also send troops this time, but it may take two months to get there.
In addition to clearing roads through mountains and building bridges across rivers, the vanguard army's biggest goal was to seize Duangu Valley as a bridgehead for the attack on Liangzhou, and send a large number of scouts to explore the surrounding terrain to facilitate future army operations.
Wang Wei nodded and answered.
"Then don't rush and fight slowly. There are only 3,000 people in this county. We will definitely capture it within ten days. By then, the main force of our army will have almost arrived. If we have the opportunity to capture Chencang again, we will gain more credit. "
hehe.
The two of them smiled and walked into the big tent and sat down. Zhang Yun poured himself a glass of water and said.
"It's a pity that the card of the Yulin Army was handed over to Lu Xun. He made a surprise attack on Hanzhong and defeated Yangping Pass. After the war, he will be rewarded based on his merits. This merit is enough for him to be promoted to general."
Wang Wei laughed upon seeing this.
"What? Do you have any thoughts about the Yulin Army? Don't think about it. The Yulin Army, Jinfan Army, and Baima Yicong, these three elites will only be handed over to the hands of your favorite generals. Lu Xun can take charge of the Yulin Army. Because he is Ji Situ’s disciple.”
"However, although Lu Xun is young, he still understands the ways of the world. He took the credit for Hanzhong and took the initiative to give us the vanguard for a few battles. I thought before Master Situ arrived, he would use the opportunity to point out the country, but who knew he would Collect it as soon as it's ready, the food, grass, and ordnance are all ready for us. After we capture Duangu this time, if we successfully capture Chencang again, we must remember his favor."
Zhang Yun was about to speak, but suddenly the sound of a horn sounded outside, and he said in shock.
"What's going on? Who blew the horn? Didn't I order not to attack the city today?"
There was also a lot of noise outside the tent, and it was obvious that the whole army was alarmed. Zhang Yun and Wang Wei's expressions changed, and they wanted to go out of the tent to check.
At this time, four or five guards outside the tent broke in and said in a panic.
"General Qi, the Qin army has entered the camp and is heading straight for the tent. Please follow us and evacuate!"
The Qin army came in and killed them?
How can it be? How long did it take?
Just evacuate? The top priority is naturally to deploy troops and generals to repel the enemy.
"Asshole!"
Zhang Yun kicked down a guard and said in a deep voice.
"Hurry up and gather the people, and follow me to repel the enemy army!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire tent was lifted up.
Yes, lift it up.
The entire big tent was cut off at the waist, and the upper half of the tent that had lost its restraints was blown backwards by the wind.
There was a sudden enlightenment, and the sun shone on their faces, making everyone feel dazed.
"Are you the commander-in-chief of the Chu army?"
Riding a handsome red rabbit horse, Lu Bu carried Fang Tian Huaji, and they stood in front of the big tent and looked down at Zhang Yun.
