In the vast grassland, Jia Xu collapsed several times after three consecutive days of travel. He didn't dare to stop, he knew that Han Sui was in front of him supervising the march of a large group of soldiers and horses, one step too late, not to mention that Ma Yue's foundation in Liangzhou was gone, and even his own family members would suffer!

One person and three horses galloped on the road, and every time he walked out of more than ten miles, Jia Xu had to stop to look at the ruts on the ground and confirm the direction of progress. Finally this morning, Jia Xu could no longer get off the war horse, his legs were grinded to the flesh and blood, and he didn't dare to change horses halfway, for fear that he would never be able to climb up again, and the dirty burqa was torn into several strips by him, and the lower body was tied to the horse's back, and he marched on the grassland with difficulty.

He is not afraid of tiredness, even if he is tired to death on the road.

He was afraid that he would not be able to find Han Sui.

At dusk on the third day, a group of fierce Liangzhou Qiang cavalry scouts found this lonely traveler, and bent their bows and arrows from a distance and drew their sabers to surround him in the middle, and the leading Qiang people frowned when they saw Jia Xu.

He didn't see a trace of fear on the embarrassed old man's face, on the contrary, he saw the old man's tired but relieved expression.

"Labor and trouble herald, Wuwei Jia Wen and ...... There is an important matter to interview General Han. ”

Jia Xu only said this, and suddenly his body was crooked and he collapsed from the horse, and only relied on those filthy and foul-smelling strips of rags to tie his legs so that he did not fall off the horse, and the scout commander's eyes were straight.

"Take it back and get some water." The commander of the scout trowel paced his horse left and right, covered his mouth and nose, and said, "There has been no water for three or five days, and at least four taels of meat have been removed from the legs...... This old thing is dying! ”

……

When Jia Xu woke up again, the person was already in the military tent, surrounded by bows, knives, guns and spears, and the woolen animal skin was covered with a roll of animal skin, and his body was sore to death, but the most important thing was his legs, and the huge pain passed through the body and he couldn't stand up at all.

The guards outside the tent heard the movement, poked their brains and looked inward, and hurriedly ran away, the general gave the order, and the old man woke up and immediately reported it!

Jia Xu hung his hand weakly, it was difficult to scream, he shook his head weakly, and lay down again in his mind, thinking about what kind of rhetoric he should use to persuade him not to attack the Han army if Han Sui came to see him.

What is more tempting than a piece of low-hanging fruit? He couldn't have imagined.

The sound of armor hanging came from outside, Jia Xu braced his upper body hard, and saw that the curtain was lifted, and a pair of leather boots came into his eyes with the cool breeze of the night. The person who came was not Han Sui, but a man who had a relationship in Zhangjiachuan and was called Chenggong.

"Captain Cheng, what about General Han?" Jia Xu's eyes widened, and he felt a little frustrated in his heart, "The old man chased after him from Jincheng for three days and three nights, doesn't General Han even want to see him?" ”

"Where is the matter, Wen Yue is busy taking over the defense of Pingxiang, otherwise he will definitely come to see you in person." Chenggong Ying smiled, there was some blood on his clothes, he came in to wipe his hands and wash his face, and then he came over to help Jia Xu get up, sat opposite and said: "Oh, by the way, I'm afraid you don't know yet, you have been in a faint for two days, you must be hungry and thirsty, and someone has ordered someone to prepare a soup bag, which will be delivered later." ”

"Take over Pingxiang Defense?" Jia Xu was startled, and the wound on his leg was painful, and he raised his hand and asked, "Pingxiang, has been captured?" ”

Chenggongying scratched his head, he was much younger than Jia Xu, a few years before he barely stood up, sitting in front of Jia Xu, a senior in Liangzhou, he was still very respectful, but this person was definitely a terrible child in Jia Xu's eyes, because he said: "Well, the rebel Song Jianyu of the river head has a big arrogance and fought against the envoy in Rongqiu, and now the victory or defeat is unknown." The Xianbei people went south to break the original in Shuofang, and united with General Huangfu and Yang Fengtai to retreat to Xianping. ”

In a few words, the young man in front of him said most of the current crisis of the big man with a playful face, and then he squinted his eyes and smiled like a weasel who had stolen a chicken: "Therefore, we are worried about the loss of the northland, so we will lead the soldiers and horses to support the defense of the east, so that you will hand over your family to us, there will be no mistake!" ”

Jia Xu narrowed his eyes and replied with a smile: "I'm afraid that General Ma Yu won't easily give up the defense of Pingxiang, right?" ”

He knew that Ma Yue had all the troops deployed in Liangzhou, and Ma Wan led nearly 3,000 soldiers and his family members to live in Pingxiang Township, and integrated the township warriors to train all day long, even if Han Sui did his best, he was afraid that it would not be so easy to capture, this kid should not be playing tricks on the old man, right?

"Ah, do you mean that thin general, it's quite powerful, but the Jun family has played the prestige of the Ma family, but let me wait for some hardship." Even when it came to losses, Cheng Gongying still had a relaxed smile on his face, raised his hand and pointed to the west and said: "We are now in the camp outside the city, General Ma and General Han are both in the city, I don't know how the surrender is, I heard that he is more greedy for money?" ”

Although on weekdays, Rijiaxu longs to play horses and die on the battlefield, but today he was shocked to hear that Ma Yu was defeated and captured.

The most elite horses in Liangzhou have been defeated, is it true that the general trend of Jun has gone?

"Brother Cheng, please take the old man to see General Han quickly, don't take Liangzhou by force!" Jia Xu raised his hand and said: "If you are in Liang, no matter what changes happen in the world, no one will take care of Liangzhou, and the captains of all departments will be safe." If the envoy is not there, then the Han will definitely regain the lost territory, it is better for the monarchs to counterattack the head of the river, not to mention the great achievement, just to maintain the power of the three sides of Liangzhou, General Han is still the largest one, why not? ”

Cheng Gongying's face was a little embarrassed, and he squeezed his eyes before he said hesitantly: "Don't dare to hide the elders, in fact, before going out on the expedition, I will offer a plan to Wen Yue, send Pang De, Bai Huwu and other captains to capture Heguan and send troops to Caohan, and in a few days, when there is bad news flying into Song Jian's formation, Wangcheng will be lost, and his people will definitely return to the division." Although Song Jian has some skills, he is only afraid that he will be slightly deficient in the face of three times the number of soldiers, so that Jun can also have a draw, and the Heshou army will go back to teach Pang De a pot. It's also a solution to the urgent need of the king, right? ”

Jia Xu almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, and this Korean language was a blockbuster. Taking advantage of the time when scolding Ma and Song to attack each other, he lightly raised a large army to attack the two roads together, and reaped the benefits of the fisherman. This battle, I'm afraid it really wants to change the existing pattern of Liangzhou.

"Actually, I think it's very good to make the king, a god-like figure in the civil and military world, govern the government well, appease the people's livelihood, and let the people of Liangzhou turn over, money, food, and finance, what a good thing." Cheng Gongying smiled lightly, and then said: "As for the battle array, the soldiers are impermanent, the water is impermanent, just let me wait for the pawn to go, captain, isn't it the one who leads the soldiers." ”

But the next sentence is not so good in Jia Xu's ears, "Don't fight for military power, he can't fight, and he can't fight." ”

Jia Xu smiled, he didn't have much good strategy on weekdays, and he wouldn't surpass everyone in terms of intelligence, even compared to Li Ru next to Dong Zhuo, he was comparable to him, but in a critical situation, he would be more sober than usual and think accurately, Li Ru was inferior to him in this regard. At the moment, Jia Xu was no longer good, but said: "Captain Chenggong, take me to see General Han, the old man must see General Han to treat the people well in order to be at peace." ”

Cheng Gongying can't resist this old man who has lost meat on his legs, and he would rather lose his flesh and blood than follow hundreds of miles all the way without stopping, which shows that he is not a person who gives up easily. However, when he heard that Jia Xu's words were loose, he was still quite happy, so he had to call the soldiers to carry Jia Xu into the city to meet Han Sui.

Along the way, the Qiang rode rampant through the streets, many houses and neighbors were burned, and the streets were full of Qiang soldiers stabbing to death, throwing their belongings aside, and carrying food out. Suddenly there was a scream from the corner of the street, and a disheveled woman ran out of the house screaming with her hands tightly holding a child of several years old and a small leather bag in her arms, and before she could run two steps, a man flew out of the house again, and the woman's scream pierced the whole street, it was her man, but now the man had a sharp knife stuck in his heart. A Qiang man staggered out of the house with a furious face, and without looking at a sharp knife and stabbing the woman, the screaming stopped abruptly!

Kicking away the child in his arms, the Qiang man bent down and pulled the skin bag fiercely, and spread it out to reveal a piece of grass yellow.

Jia Xu really saw it, it wasn't a gold particle, it was just some wheat grain, just for this bit of wheat grain, he killed two lives?

Rao is Jia Xu is ruthless, but he can't help gritting his teeth.

Cheng Gongying waved his horsewhip to disperse the Qiang soldiers who were blocking the way, he didn't care who his subordinates killed or robbed, but it was not good to block the way.

All the way to the county government, Jia Xu was placed on the futon and sat down, in front of him was Han Sui with a smile on his face, and behind him was a horse playing with five flowers tied and kneeling on the ground. The armor on the horse's body was removed, and his wounds were scattered, and his eyes widened when he saw him sitting here.

Before Han Sui's greetings, Jia Xu said, "Brother Wenyue, you need to withdraw your troops and go south." ”

"The captain and others in the south may not be able to uproot the city of Caohan, and even if they win, they will face endless rebellions. And you can't hit Longxian there, Ma's reinforcements are on the way, and the garrisons of every county and each county are garrisoned by generals like General Ma, and the defense is endless. And the grain and grass of the princes are only afraid that it will be difficult to support the big war by snatching, you don't have to shake your head and pretend to be relaxed, the soldiers put a lot of money and don't grab some grain, what does it mean that you know better than me. If you enter Hanyang again, the only remaining fertile land and arable people in Liangzhou will be killed by those Qianghu people under your command! ”

Jia Xu didn't care what Han Sui was thinking, he touched Han Sui's sore feet, he ignored morality and etiquette to submit to the Han and counterattacked Ma Yue, it was nothing more than seeing the possibility of dominating Liangzhou, he just needed to make him desperate.

It is undoubtedly the most desperate to starve to death in the moment before the hegemony.
