In fact, Wang Yi never trusted Jiang Xu, and was very wary of Liang Xu.
There is no reason, a kind of intuition coming from a woman, that is, the intuition that these two people cannot be trusted at all.
But now, Wang Yi didn't find anything unusual.
During the time when Jiang Xu was helping her husband defend the city, he did not show anything wrong, and some of his suggestions were very appropriate to the current situation.
Especially asking her husband to quickly ask for help from Guo Huai. If he really wanted to betray his husband and surrender the city, he would definitely not come up with such an idea.
The journey from Ji County to Pingxiang County is only more than three days. After Governor Guo learned the news, it only took seven or eight days to reorganize the army to move south. The time of more than ten days was not a big deal for guarding Ji County. Difficult matter.
Jiang Xu's proposal was entirely to help her husband defend Ji County, and there was no problem with it.
As for Liang Xu, he gave reasonable explanations from beginning to end, including why he did not guard Xi County and ran back to Hebei County. It was completely reasonable and reasonable. Even if Wang Yi hid behind the tent and listened, he would not notice anything strange.
Therefore, Wang Yi could not find any problems with these two people, at least logically and intellectually.
But Wang Yi subconsciously felt that something was wrong with these two people.
As for the city defense of Ji County, as long as it is defended, if it cannot be defended for ten days, then my husband will really be a joke.
Therefore, Wang Yi did not give his husband any advice, but just asked him to defend himself seriously.
As for Liang Xu, that night, Liang Xu finally met Jiang Ji and Jiang Xu, Jiang Ji's clan brother. The three of them got together to discuss countermeasures.
"Brother Zhong Yi, why do you want Zhao Ang to control the defense of Hebei County?!" Liang Xu asked Jiang Ji very puzzledly, and said, "If Brother Boyi is in charge of Hebei County, wouldn't our big plans be easy?!"
Liang Xu really didn't understand why Zhao Ang, the governor of Yizhou, was asked to come forward.
Jiang Xucai is the magistrate of Tianshui County. It is most appropriate and reasonable for him to come forward to organize the defense of Tianshui County.
The Zhao family, represented by Zhao Ang, will never choose to surrender.
Letting Zhao Ang take power would be quite detrimental to the subsequent cooperation with the King of Hanzhong's army to seize the city.
But Jiang Xu said, "This is just a tactic to delay the war!"
Jiang Xu told the reason for doing this.
According to Jiang Jiong's intention, Jiang Xu was indeed asked to come forward to organize the defense of Hebei County. After all, Jiang Xu was the county magistrate and the legitimate second-in-command of Tianshui County. Although Zhao Ang was the governor of Yizhou and had a relatively high official position, his scope of authority was It has no control over the actual affairs of Tianshui County.
But on the one hand, keeping Zhao Ang in Ji County will be troublesome after all. Zhao Ang and his wife have a deep hatred for Ma Chao, so it is impossible for them to choose to surrender, and the Zhao family's power in Ji County is not small. Once the whole city surrenders, the Zhao family will May cause chaos.
Therefore, Jiang Xu wanted to let Zhao Ang take control of the defense of Hebei County in name only, and then trick Zhao Ang into going out to fight in the city, thereby tricking Zhao Ang to death.
Secondly, Jiang Xu also needs to use Zhao Ang to stabilize Guo Huai, the governor of Liangzhou in Pingxiang County.
After all, according to Jiang Jiong, Ma Zun had already fled to Pingxiang County to find Guo Huai. Counting the time, Ma Zun should be able to arrive in Pingxiang County only three or four days after Jiang Jiong returned to Ji County. He told Guo Huai about the invasion of Shu army.
It's hard to say what Guo Huai's reaction will be, or whether he will immediately organize his army and go south. Therefore, Jiang Xu must convince Guo Huai that Tianshui County will not surrender without a fight.
Although Jiang Xu himself came forward to organize the defense of Hebei County, although it was justified, on Guo Huai's side, the Jiang family was not as obedient as the Zhao family.
Therefore, after Jiang Xu recommended Zhao Ang as the guard general of Ji County, he immediately encouraged Zhao Ang to write a letter to Guo Huai, trying to stabilize Guo Huai and prevent Guo Huai from leading his troops south so quickly.
After all, Zhao Ang was fully committed to Cao Wei. Even if Guo Huai didn't trust Jiang Xu, he would still trust Zhao Ang.
As for the defense of Ji County. Haha, Jiang Xu has been an official in Tianshui County for so many years, and Ji County is the hometown of the Jiang family. Now that the Liang family and the Jiang family have conspired, the Yang family has chosen to sit on the sidelines. If this still cannot control Ji County County defense, then Jiang Xu should stop doing so many things.
Nominally Zhao Ang is in charge of the defense of Hebei County, but in fact, Jiang Xu is still the one secretly controlling everything.
After saying this, Liang Xu finally had an understanding of the current situation in Ji County.
only
"Then Zhao Ang is just a helpless man, so there is nothing to worry about. But his wife is a bit of a hindrance!" Liang Xu reminded tactfully.
Zhao Ang really doesn't have any great abilities, no bravery, and no strategy. But he really has a good wife.
Ma Chao fell into the hands of this woman back then.
Moreover, this woman is ruthless. When Ma Chao took Zhao Ang's hot value Zhao Yue hostage, Zhao Ang was worried about Zhao Yue's safety and did not dare to easily rebel against Ma Chao. As a result, this woman directly said, "Why would you waste a son for the sake of the country?" .Then that’s her biological son.
Because of Zhao Yue's good fortune, Ma Chao ran too hastily and did not have time to deal with Zhao Yue. Zhao Yue found an opportunity and ran out. Otherwise, Zhao Ang would have no son.
Now, too, Jiang Ji was being questioned and Liang Xu was almost exposed. The woman was there.
But Jiang Xu didn't care at all.
Most of Liangzhou's heroes are not known for their intelligence, which is why that woman gained such a great reputation. But there is one thing to say, if you really want to compare with those talented people, how can Wang Yi's level be enough? !
If nothing else, can she, Wang Yi, compare with Jia Xu? !
That is the representative of the resourceful people in Liangzhou.
Even if Jia Xu is not in Liangzhou now and is serving as a lieutenant in Yecheng, there are still many people in Liangzhou and even in Ji County who can surpass her.
Jiang Xu believed that he was no worse than that woman, not to mention that he had Qilin'er at home.
"Wang just has some small plans, nothing to be afraid of!" Jiang Xu shook his head with a smile and said, "There is no need to worry about this matter. When Zhao Ang gathers his troops tomorrow, we will be a little excited. Even Wang Yi, Nothing can be done.”
Regarding how to deal with Zhao Ang and Wang Yi, Jiang Xu had already thought of a way. In fact, it was not his own idea, but the suggestion of his eldest nephew.
The clan brother Jiang Ji really has a good son. God wants the Jiang family to prosper.
As early as the Jiang family decided to submit to "Master Wang", Jiang Wei, the son of Jiang Ji, proposed at an internal meeting of the family to set Zhao Ang as a benchmark to appease Guo Huai's heart. At the same time, for Zhao Ang, he and Wang Yi only need to be separated briefly to Just use words to motivate him to fight.
The dignified governor of Yizhou made a promise at the military meeting, and even Wang Yi had no way to change it.
To put it bluntly, Jiang Xu's series of actions and plans actually had Jiang Wei's shadow behind them.
And Jiang Wei's plan was not very clever, it just took advantage of Wang's gender disadvantage.
After all, Wang Yi was just a female. In this era, she was not qualified to participate in military discussions. At the same time, she had no way to watch her husband break his promise and lose his reputation.
Therefore, as long as Zhao Ang is forced to speak out and go to war on his own, even if Wang Yi later discovers something is wrong, he will not be able to change anything.
In the past, everyone had the same interests, so this woman was given a chance to express herself. But now, in this troubled world, there is still too little that women can do.
As for how to motivate Zhao Ang to fight, it is too easy.
Zhao Ang, relying on his wife's strategies and plans, gained great fame and benefits in Cao Wei, but in the end he was just a brainless and reckless man.
The only advantage is probably that he is obedient and listens to his wife.
If a person like this is encouraged with words, he might be able to say something when his brain gets hot.
As for how to stimulate, Jiang Wei didn't need to teach him this. Jiang Xu had plenty of ideas, and he explained it to Jiang Ji and Liang Xu in a gibbering voice.
On the next day, Zhao Ang held a military meeting at his residence and summoned Jiang Xu, Liang Xu, Jiang Jiong, Yin Shang and others to discuss how to defend the city against the Shu army.
"Gentlemen, Jicheng is our foundation, and it is related to the safety of the country. I hope that you will work together to protect the state and county!" Zhao Ang said to everyone in the house, "Today the Shu thieves are coming, gentlemen. If you have a good strategy to defeat the enemy, you might as well try it."
After Zhao Ang finished his opening remarks, he waited for several people to offer their opinions and suggestions.
"There is no need to worry, Lord Governor!" Yin Shang, who had never played much of the role, came forward and said, "In some cases, the Shu thieves from the Qishan Road are just a partial army. Someone has three strategies to defeat the thieves' army."
Zhao Ang's eyes suddenly lit up.
The relationship between the Yin family and the Zhao family is good. They have always been semi-dependent on the Zhao family, so Zhao Ang trusts Yin Shang.
"Master Yin, if you have any good ideas, tell me quickly!" Zhao Ang asked impatiently.
Yin Shang heard this and said, "Liu Bei personally led the army to attack the Shu thieves. Now Liu Bei is still holding a stalemate with Governor Cao's army in Xiegu. Therefore, I judge that those who come out of Qishan Road this time are only one side of the army and cannot defeat the enemy." If we encounter a disadvantage in the battle with more than 10,000 people, we will definitely return to Hanzhong, and we will definitely not stalemate with our prefectures and counties."
Zhao Ang listened and nodded repeatedly.
Although the news flow was not smooth at this time, within nearly a month, even Tianshui County knew that Liu Bei's Yellow Luo Umbrella had appeared near Baoxie Road, and Cao Hong personally led the army to confront him.
With both Liu Bei's Huangluo Umbrella and Cao Hong leading the troops to confront each other, the common judgment at this time was that Liu Bei's main attack direction was along the Baoxie Road. Even if there were dangers in other places, it was just a partial attack. It just attracts the Liangzhou Army and prevents the Liangzhou Army from easily marching eastward to support Cao Hong.
Therefore, Zhao Ang also felt that Yin Shang's analysis was very reasonable.
Yin Shang smiled and continued, "Therefore, I have three strategies to defeat the enemy. If the strategy is good, the governor can order a general to go out of the city to ambush, wait for the Shu thieves to arrive, and cooperate with the defenders in the city to attack together, so that they are unexpected. , the Shu thieves will be defeated. If the Shu thieves are defeated, they will return to the south. In this way, the siege of Tianshui will be solved, and we will all be heroes. For those who fall into the trap, the governor will guard the city and not fight with the thieves. Contact Liangzhou governor Guo Huai to lure them The troops move south. In this way, Guo Governor will be able to defeat the thieves, and we will gain the advantage of defending the city. Although we have no great achievements, we will not make any mistakes. The next plan is to take advantage of the traitors before they arrive, and we will lead our troops to defect to Guo Governor. This can be guaranteed. The whole family, wives and children, is just afraid that Governor Guo will be in trouble later."
Ma Chao in history actually fell out with the local powerful during the Liangzhou War. Ma Chao's wife and children were killed by Zhao Ang's family. Ma Chao also killed Zhao Ang's son Zhao Yue and Jiang Xu's mother, Yang. Fu was seriously injured and still continued to fight. The two sides were actually fighting to the death. There is actually a bug here. If we strictly follow history, if Ma Chao returns to Liangzhou at this time, it is impossible for the people of Liangzhou to surrender to Liu Bei. But in order to write this paragraph, I had to weaken what Ma Chao did in Liangzhou and weaken the hatred between Liangzhou people and Ma Chao. Otherwise, it would be impossible to write like this. As long as Ma Chao is involved, Liangzhou will not be pacified so easily. But Ma Chao was still alive at this time, and it was impossible to attack Liangzhou without his role. Historical research shows that the party showed mercy.
