Xiao Yuan looked at him.
Jia You continued: "It doesn't take long for a horse to gallop from Liaoyang to King Xuan, but it will take at least two days for us to arrive. If during this period, the war situation changes and the Ghost King escapes back to the country, Then there will be endless troubles.”
Hearing this, Xiao Yuan frowned slightly: "This matter is indeed something to be considered. In this way, we will first detach a group of elite troops and march quickly to support the Xuan Army. At the same time, we will detach another group of troops and set up an ambush on the main road leading to Anyang. ."
Jia You said: "The king's concerns are very true, but there is still another place that needs to be guarded against."
"You mean the Anyang border, right?" Xiao Yuan asked.
"Yes." Jia You said seriously: "The Ghost King has never changed his intention to invade the Central Plains. This time, if he is allowed to escape, this war will not be considered a complete victory. I believe that not only must he be intercepted on all sides , but also to cut off its escape route, just in case."
"Well..." Xiao Yuan nodded slowly at first, but soon said with some worry: "But the border gate of Anyang is where An Jun is stationed. To cut off the ghost queen's path, only An Jun can do it. "
"The king has said before that when necessary, general Yu An can be obtained. I deeply agree with this." Jia You said.
Xiao Yuan glanced at him again, then shook his head with a wry smile: "It's easy to say, but it's difficult to do this."
Unexpectedly, Jia You smiled slightly, raised his hand again and said: "I request my order to secretly go to the border of Anyang. As your envoy, I will meet with the border generals of the An army and inform them of my interests."
"What!?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan's eyes widened for a moment, and then he shook his head and said: "No, no, no! It can't be like this!"
"Your Majesty!" Jia You was a little anxious.
Xiao Yuan said seriously: "Now the entire Anyang is still under the jurisdiction of Yu Anmin, with nearly 100,000 troops. This trip is too dangerous! But if there is any accident, we don't even have a chance to respond!"
Knowing that he was worried about himself, Jia You felt moved in his heart and said seriously: "Your Majesty, since I am going, I will fulfill my mission."
"No!" Xiao Yuan still refused decisively.
If Jia You goes to meet General Anjun in secret, if the other party has malicious intentions, it will be over! Of course Xiao Yuan would not be willing to lose such an outstanding counselor.
Seeing this, Jia You became more and more moved: "Your Majesty, I am a humble man. If I can meet a wise king in my lifetime, it will be my lifelong honor to be favored by him and to assist him. If I can plan for you and see the benefits, I will be honored." , nine deaths without regrets!"
As he spoke, he knelt down and saluted seriously: "My lord, I sincerely ask for your permission."
"You!" Xiao Yuan didn't know what to say.
Jia You continued: "Your Majesty, someone must handle this matter, otherwise, the Ghost King will escape and it will be too late..."
He repeatedly requested, but Xiao Yuan couldn't help but start pacing back and forth, still feeling uneasy.
"Your Majesty..."
"Stop talking!" Xiao Yuan stopped, stretched out his hand to help him up, and said quietly: "If something happens to you, I will regret it for the rest of my life."
"I'm scared, please don't worry, Your Majesty." Jia You hurriedly bowed.
Xiao Yuan took a deep breath, weighed it again, and then said: "Okay, since you insist on this, I can only allow you, but you must pay attention to safety, and you must not let Yu Anmin know your existence, and General Qi An, If anything goes wrong, you must drop everything and evacuate immediately!"
"Yes, please keep this in mind."
"Also, the safety of this trip is unpredictable. You need to bring enough guards. If there is any emergency, we can protect you as soon as possible." Xiao Yuan explained uneasily.
"Yes, don't worry, Your Majesty. In addition, I would like to invite General Xu Rong to accompany me. He is highly skilled in martial arts and can help when necessary. I hope Your Majesty will allow it."
"Okay." Xiao Yuan nodded and said, "I will also ask Lin Chu to arrange some manpower for you to facilitate things."
"Thank you, Your Majesty——"
Xiao Yuan looked at him, moved the corner of his mouth, and wanted to say something, but after a pause, he could only say: "Ai Qing, please take care of everything when you go here, and be careful in everything."
A monarch, with so many warnings, Jia You felt warm in his heart, and saluted again and shouted: "My lord, what virtue and ability can make the king worried? I must do my best to bring good news to the king..."
After the decision was made, Xiao Yuan immediately called Xu Rong and explained to him.
When the latter heard this, he was secretly frightened, but under the king's orders, how could he not dare to disobey him? He hurriedly clasped his fists and bent down: "General, take your orders! If there is an accident, I will risk my life to protect Lord Jia's safety!"
"Well, go ahead and follow Mr. Jia's arrangements for everything." Xiao Yuan waved his hand.
"promise!"
Xu Rong saluted respectfully, and when he got outside, he immediately found Jia You and complained somewhat: "Master Jia, I heard that you took the initiative to ask to go to Anyang?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?" Jia You raised his eyebrows.
"Oh, my Lord Jia." Xu Rong grinned secretly: "You said it's not good for you to stay with the king. Why do you have to run to Anyang, and why do you take me with you?"
Hearing what he said, Jia You was happy and said cheerfully: "What? What do you mean, are you afraid? I am not afraid of a weak civil servant, but you, a high-ranking military lieutenant general, are afraid?" "
"This, this, isn't this a question of whether you are afraid or not?" Xu Rong said: "The whole of Anyang is guarded by the An army, and it is well known to the world that Yu Anmin colluded with the ghost tribe. Going there at this time is no different from committing suicide. !”
Yes, in his opinion, if only two or three people run to the enemy's territory, no matter how capable they are, if someone wants to kill you, it will be hard to fly!
"Haha!" Unexpectedly, when Jia You heard this, he looked up and smiled and said, "Xu Rong, Xu Rong, you only have martial arts skills, but you are really brave."
"Ah? Sir, what do you mean by this?" Xu Rong's face was still full of sadness.
Jia You said calmly: "Let me ask you, if you were a general of the An army, what would you do?"
"What do you mean?" Xu Rong was stunned.
Jia You continued: "Will you abandon your ancestors, be scolded by thousands of people, follow Yu Anmin, flee to the ghost tribe, live to survive, and be a human being?"
"this……"
"Or are you willing to take advantage of this opportunity to make meritorious deeds, exonerate your reputation, and be upright?"
"Hiss..." After hearing what he said, Xu Rong couldn't help but take a breath, and then his eyes widened: "Sir, are you completely sure?"
"Don't worry, if this is done, you will also have the ability to protect me." Jia You said directly.
Hearing this, Xu Rong's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but laugh twice.
Is Jia You a fool? It can be said that he is so shrewd that even if one of his eyelashes is pulled out, it will be empty.
While secretly heading to Anyang, Xiao Yuan did not pause for a moment. He immediately summoned the generals, issued an order, divided the troops into two groups, and began to march quickly.
