With this flurry of words, the smoke in the world has dissipated a lot, but the most important issue has not yet been resolved.
Seeing everyone fell into silence for a moment, Han Sui turned his gaze to himself. Jia Xu immediately knew that it was his chance to speak.
Sure enough, Han Sui looked at Jia Xu for a moment, then looked away silently, turned to everyone and smiled and said: "You don't know yet, I had no intention of holding today's meeting. After all, I have not handled things well in the past few years and have failed one after another. What? Do you dare to explain to all of you? Let alone talk to Brother Song. It was Brother Wenhe who exchanged letters with me, saying that he had a big plan. If successful, he could help us get out of trouble in Longban, and the eagle will fly to Sanfu."
After the words fell, everyone turned their eyes to Jia Xu, and Jia Xu responded with a smile. Especially Song Jian, he didn't look at it carefully just now, but now his eyebrows were like swords, but in the end he got nothing.
He turned to Han Sui and smiled: "Han Yue, if I remember correctly, this is the man who gave advice to Niu Fu and Xu Rong to attack Chang'an. As a result, they were defeated in Longshouyuan. Niu Fu, Li Jue and Guo Si Several people were all killed in the battle, and more than 100,000 troops were wiped out in one day. Do you believe what he said?"
Han Sui lowered his eyebrows and looked at the case and replied: "Brother Song's words are too heavy on success or failure. Without Brother Wenhe's advice, Dong Jun would have been killed by Wang Yun long ago. How could he break the Wuguan? Juan Sanfu, severely damaged Lu Bu and nearly defeated Chang'an? If Bingzhou had not sent troops, the government and the public might have been under the control of Brother Wenhe. From this point of view, Brother Wenhe was just trying to defeat Chen Chong."
Song Jian could not refute, knowing that his words were no match for Han Sui, so he looked at Jia Xu and said slowly: "In that case, I will listen to Jia Jun's wise words."
After hearing this, Jia Xu slowly stood up from the table and said modestly: "As the Heshou King said, a defeated general will naturally not dare to speak high."
But at this point, Jia Xu did not directly state his strategy. Instead, he continued what Han Sui said: "And what Han Gong just said was actually a ridiculous compliment to me. Back then, the bloody battle at Longshouyuan was not a chess game." Missed by one? It's because I don't understand military geography, but Longshou is like a god in using troops, that's why we were defeated."
Having said this, he began to retell the events of the war that day and explain them in detail to everyone present. Although everyone knows the results of the Chang'an battle, they don't know much about the process. As a warrior, the only thing he likes in his life is to form formations and fight, so some generals who originally didn't care about Jia Xu's words couldn't help but listen carefully and ask questions frequently.
Jia Xu said that he tested Huang Zhong Yi Cong before the war and ordered him to hide in Feng Qi Yuan. All the generals secretly exclaimed, but when they heard that Huang Zhong Yi Cong could not make any achievements, they found it incredible. Finally, Jia Xu said, "Niu Fu Gu Mu" It was difficult to support, so he led his troops to support him. When the ridge was instantly occupied by a strange army, the princes of Liangzhou sat there for a long time, unable to say another word.
After this explanation, half an hour had passed. The sun had risen above the eaves, and the chirping of sparrows could be heard in the courtyard. But everyone was still assuming in their minds whether they could do better in this battle if they were Jia Xu. In the end, it was Ma Teng who said first: "I think Mr. The fault is due to the lack of morale in the army and the inability of the gentleman to take care of both." In his words, he already had great respect for Jia Xu.
Jia Xu asked back, "But I usually arrange things like this, so why is it that only Chen Chong can defeat me?" Everyone looked at each other and heard Jia Xu say, "This is because only Chen Chong can find my flaws! That's why. I'm really far away."
Everyone was silent. Although they were suspected of deprecating their ambitions, no one denied Jia Xu's words.
Jia Xu said again at this time: "However, a ruler is long and an inch is short. I am not as skilled as Chen Chong in military formations, but it does not hinder today." He then asked, "Do you know the situation in the DPRK? "
Huang Yan, the governor of Jiuquan, shook his head and said: "I heard about it at first, but in the past two years, it has been mostly controlled by Lu Bu. How can I have time to pay attention to the government?"
Jia Xu also shook his head when he heard this, turned to Huang Yan and said: "Lü Bu is a scoundrel, a small and narrow-minded man in the north. Although he is brave and brave, he is still very smart. How can he fight against the kings? It's nothing more than the imperial court. We have money, food and supplies to support each other, and Chen Chong is planning a general plan. If you are not aware of the situation in the DPRK, it is tantamount to abandoning the basic and chasing the weak, and naturally you will not be able to win."
When everyone heard this, they all nodded in agreement. Cheng Gongying, the prefect of Jincheng, was a wise man among the Liang people, and he was the mastermind under Han Sui. At this moment, he couldn't help but said: "What Brother Wenhe said is of course very reasonable. Therefore, in the past two years, I also spied on the news, but since Chen Chong came to power, the imperial court As we become stronger and stronger, the people's hearts are becoming more and more loyal, and we have occupied the dangerous mountains. I really don't know how to deal with it. And as Brother Wenhe said, Chen Chong is also very good at military affairs, so isn't our army bound to be defeated?"
Jia Xu continued: "Brother Cheng knows that there is no way out and the gains are unknown." Jia Xu paused for a moment and then suddenly said, "You don't know yet, but the current situation in the court is already divided from top to bottom, with internal and external constraints, and great chaos is imminent. Got it!"
Everyone was horrified and asked what happened. Jia Xu then talked about the struggle at the end of last year when the emperor forced Hebei to withdraw his troops and Liu Bei deposed the imperial party. He analyzed: "The most difficult thing since ancient times is to accompany the emperor. The most dangerous thing is to usurp the throne. Liu Bei has been exposed. They are not willing to serve as ministers, but Chen Chong still takes it upon himself to appease the government. The most difficult and dangerous things are all done by them, so how can everything else go as planned? Moreover, the emperor's temperament suddenly changed drastically. I guess there is someone stirring up trouble in the capital. , and he is quite capable. If Liu Bei continues to force him, there will definitely be chaos in the court, and it will only happen in two or three years!"
When he said this, while everyone was thinking about it, the room became dull again.
Han Sui thought to himself: "Jia Wen and someone who has been in the court should have a hidden clue. This news is true. But at this time, the monarch and his ministers in the court are at odds, but it will not lead to great chaos. It does not matter what is happening in front of us. Benefits? Oh, Lu Bu is not a party to Liu Bei, and he will also be affected if there is chaos in the court. This is a way, I can secretly vote for Liu Bei and help him control the artifact, and then..." He thought of this, He raised his head and looked around, seeing that most of the people bowed their heads and remained silent.
Song Jian was not good at politics to begin with, he was just brave enough to use troops. After seeing the Liang army killing each other, he led his troops to stick to Heguan and proclaimed himself king, avoiding the world and ignoring foreign affairs. Therefore, although I heard it was an opportunity at this time, I couldn't think of any way and could only continue to think.
Ma Teng was always quick-witted, but at this moment, he gently stroked his beard and didn't know what he was thinking.
After a while, Jia Xu saw that everyone seemed to have gained something, so he continued. What he said was exactly what Han Sui expected: "If there is chaos in the court, it will not actually lead to great chaos. After all, the important positions are already in the hands of the Overlord. But if there is chaos in the court and the Overlord loses its righteousness, how can the princes of the world sit back and watch?" ? Yuan Shao of Hebei, Liu Biao of Jingzhou, and Liu Yan of Yizhou all aspired to proclaim themselves emperor, as well as Lu Bu of the north, who the emperor relied on. These four people would definitely raise troops to cause chaos. By this time, everything in the east and west of the Bafu was in chaos, and the north and south were uneven. You will definitely lose sight of one thing! This is a good opportunity for you and me."
Ma Wan asked anxiously: "What kind of opportunity is this?"
Jia Xu suddenly took a few steps forward and said loudly: "Everyone, this is naturally a good opportunity to enter the capital again and kidnap the emperor!"
This sound was like thunder on the ground, far beyond everyone's imagination. Even Han Sui couldn't help but paled, unable to imagine. No matter how bold he was, it would be difficult to connect the good opportunity with kidnapping the emperor. But he had another feeling that told him that Jia Xu did have a plan, which made him dumbfounded and asked in a low voice: "Why did Wen He say this?"
Jia Xu saw the bright eyes of all the heroes in Xiliang, and tried his best to hide the longing in his heart, knowing that the goal of this trip had been achieved. Although Liangzhou was the first in chaos in the world, the imperial court was unable to retreat for a long time, so it can be said that it was not unyielding and brave. But these people in front of them are getting older with age, and their mentality is no longer as strong as before. All they want is to change their ways and return to official status. As long as you grasp this, the initiative will always be in your own hands.
Thinking of this, he then responded to everyone: "The most worrying thing for the hegemons in the world must be Hebei. This year, the hegemons once again deployed troops to eliminate worries for Hebei. But now, Yuan Shao has surpassed Gongsun Zan. No surprise. , we can also annex Youyan by the end of the year, how will Bafu respond by then?"
Jia Xu immediately replied: "We must use all the troops under our control to cross the Yellow River north with hundreds of thousands of troops to compete with Yuan Shao!"
"At that time, Guanzhong will be extremely empty. All you need to do is mobilize your troops and leave Longban in the east. You will be able to take control of Chang'an in an instant. Capture Chen Chong and hold the emperor, but you can only cover your hands and ears! At this point, you can claim the name of the emperor. Cross the river to the east of Hedong and occupy the land of Shangdang and Jinyang. If you advance, you can look at Shandong, and if you retreat, you can close the gate and defend yourself. The so-called dragon soaring thousands of miles and commanding China is nothing more than this."
After he finished speaking about the general outline, everyone returned to silence, but this time it was no longer because of the annoyance in their hearts before, but because of the shock at Jia Xu's plan. Even Ma Chao at the door couldn't help but stare at Jia Xu for a long time, admiring him in his heart.
Only Cheng Gongying, the prefect of Jincheng, thought for a while and raised some questions: "Wen He's plan is indeed brilliant, but Chang'an is a fortified city with huge defenses after all, and Chen Chong is good at using his troops. If the city cannot be attacked for a while, and Lu Bu marches from the north, If you cut off my way of coming and going, wouldn't that be asking for death?"
This question hits the nail on the head. If we can't defeat Lu Bu first, how can we hold the emperor hostage and fight for world hegemony? Everyone in the audience suddenly woke up and turned to see how Jia Xu would answer.
Jia Xu had already been worried about this. After Cheng Gongying finished speaking, he paced a few steps and said slowly: "Brother Cheng, have you forgotten? Lu Bu is a member of Liu Bei's party, and now Dong Cheng is sent to Chencang." . As long as you are determined, I can try to win over Lu Bu and Dong Cheng and conspire with them on major issues. As long as these two people are inside, no matter how superb Chen Tingjian's military skills are, they will definitely be flesh on the anvil and ghost under the sword. This This is what I call ‘leaving behind the last to pursue the original’.”
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
Unknowingly, Jia Xu had already talked until noon. Everyone was heartbroken after listening to it, and finally agreed with what Jia Xu said. As for the details, they will be worked out slowly in the coming days.
After the discussion was over, everyone filed out of the mansion and set up a banquet in the lobby. Zhang Xiu got the opportunity and came forward to ask Jia Xu about the results. Jia Xu smiled and nodded, and encouraged him: "As heaven moves forward, a gentleman strives to constantly strive for self-improvement. What happened today is just the beginning. Don't let your guard down."
