Chapter 353: Jia Xu's Mistake Doesn't Work
After coming out of Liu Yu's military tent, Jia Xu prepared to go to Ma Chao's camp tent. Jia Xu felt that if he wanted to disturb Cao Cao's territory, only Ma Chao had this ability. Ma Chao's reputation and methods, Jia Xu knows and appreciates it very much, and he is the best candidate.
And on the way to Ma Chao's tent, Chen Gong found him.
"Mr. Wenhe, can you invite Mr. Wen to talk about it?" Chen Gong said with a smile.
"It's an honor to be invited to the public stage." Jia Xu didn't know what Chen Gong was going to do, but he wouldn't refuse Chen Gong's invitation.
Chen Gong invited Jia Xu to his tent. After the two of them were divided, Chen Gong said: "Mr. Wenhe, at the meeting just now, did Mr. want to use some special means to disturb Cao Cao's arrangement?" ”
"The public station is really intelligent, as the public station said, but it has been approved by the lord and is fully responsible for this matter. It won't take long to solve the lord's dilemma. Jia Xu thought that Chen Gong wanted to meddle in the matter he was responsible for, so he first carried Liu Yu out and reminded Chen Gong not to worry.
"Mr. Wenhe, I don't want to meddle in this matter. But there are some things, let's give Mr. a detailed look at them first. Of course Chen Gong knew what Jia Xu meant.
"Oh, what do you think about the public platform?" Jia Xu became interested.
"Born in Yanzhou, the Chen family is also a big family in Yanzhou, and they also know a thing or two about the situation in Yanzhou. I feel that if I follow what Mr. just said, I may not be able to make a breakthrough. Cao Cao is no better than other princes, his statecraft is superb, and the people in Yanzhou are very supportive, and Cao Cao has long known that the situation on Yuan Shao's side is the operation behind the scenes of the lord, and he will definitely be prepared. Under the worry Mr. in vain. Chen Gong said sincerely.
"The public station is too worried, no matter who it is, it is selfish. As long as his net worth and life are threatened, then he will inevitably react. Those who are capable will rebel, and those who are not capable will complain or divert their resentment. As a prince, Cao Cao was unable to resist the invasion of outsiders, causing the people under his territory to be harmed. The people are very simple, as long as they can survive. If Cao Cao couldn't guarantee this, then the people and the family wouldn't trust him so much. Jia Xu said confidently.
For Jia Xu's self-confidence, Chen Gong didn't know what to say, and in the end he could only let Jia Xu go, there was only so much he could do, and the final result would be planned by Jia Xu himself.
Jia Xu thinks that Chen Gong is a blind concern, and Jia Xu knows that Chen Gong is a person from Yanzhou, so he should not agree with his own strategy, Jia Xu thinks that Chen Gong's opinion is from his own selfishness, so he does not accept Chen Gong's suggestion.
Jia Xu found Ma Chao, told Ma Chao about his plan just now, and hoped that Ma Chao would complete this task together. Of course, Ma Chao will not object, and even looks forward to doing it.
So, Jia Xu arranged for Ma Chao to lead 10,000 cavalry to march into the depths of Yanzhou, encounter cities or villages, and carry out massacres, but it cannot be revealed that they are Liu Yu's soldiers and horses. The vicious Jia Xu also asked Ma Chao to pretend to be Cao Cao's soldiers, which made Cao Cao lose the hearts of the people.
Ma Chao did as Jia Xu ordered, and the methods were more cruel, and there were no lives left in the villages he passed by. But within a few days, Ma Chao realized that something was wrong, and when he was about to attack a village again, he found that there was no one in the village, and there was no food. And this kind of thing is not accidental, the villages that Ma Chao encountered in the next process were all empty, and the cities were strictly guarded and confined to four gates.
At the same time, Ma Chao, who was pretending to be Cao Jun, actually encountered the attack of Cao Cao's troops, which made Ma Chao wonder, how could Cao Cao know that they were pretending. Moreover, after Ma Chao was attacked, there was a steady stream of Cao troops coming, if it weren't for Ma Chao's cavalry, he might not have been able to escape.
Ma Chao reported the situation to Jia Xu. Jia Xu was a little surprised, how could it be different from the plan.
In fact, after Cao Cao knew about Yuan Shao's situation, he began to arrange defenses for this matter. Cao Cao arranged for light cavalry to constantly travel to various villages and cities in his territory, and when he found that something was wrong, he had to report it to the county seat, and each city had personnel who specialized in dealing with such matters, and he had to arrange for people to notify the relevant personnel in other counties to make timely and accurate arrangements, and so on.
This is Guo Jia's arrangement according to the dark work method provided by Li Fu in the past, but the dark department is secretly worked, and Guo Jia has officially formalized these methods.
The effect is very significant, Cao Cao strengthened the monitoring of the territory, so when Ma Chao slaughtered several villages, he was immediately discovered by Cao Cao.
After investigation, it was found that Ma Chao was pretending to be Cao's army to carry out the operation, and Cao Cao directly ordered the defenders everywhere to attack directly when they saw suspicious troops, without reporting. So Jia Xu's plan failed.
After Jia Xu carefully inquired into all kinds of news, he found that his strategy could not continue, Cao Cao was fully prepared, and if he continued, it would be in vain.
Jia Xu ordered Ma Chao to evacuate as soon as possible, and he couldn't go any further. Ma Chao returned to Liu Yu's camp very depressed, he originally wanted to make a great contribution, but he didn't expect to come back in disgrace, Ma Chao felt that he was very faceless, which was another blow to Ma Chao, who had strong self-esteem.
Jia Xu hurriedly came to Liu Yu's camp, Chen Gong was also here with Liu Yu, Jia Xu blushed, he just didn't listen to Chen Gong's words before, which led to the current failure, Jia Xu bowed his head to Liu Yu and confessed his guilt and said: "My lord, I am incompetent and cannot realize my previous plan." Please punish the lord. ”
Liu Yu had already received the news of Ma Chao's failure to march into the army, but fortunately, the loss was not very large, and Liu Yu could afford this kind of failure.
Liu Yu said softly: "Okay, get up." Cao Mengde is not as good as Yuan Benchu, he is not ordinary. The strategy to cause losses to Yuan Shao can't be used on Cao Cao, this guy is a thief. Just pay more attention in the future. ”
"Thank you for your innocence." Jia Xu is grateful for Liu Yu's understanding.
Chen Gong saw that Jia Xu knew his mistake, so he didn't say much, and he didn't say that he had reminded him before, so as not to make Liu Yu unhappy.
"Well, now Meng Qi can't make progress. Then our army can only fight Cao Cao hard. Order, Ma Chao and Pang De converged, be sure to stop Cao Cao, not let him continue to advance, any means can be used. Wen and you also went with Ma Chao, which can be regarded as atonement. Liu Yu said to Jia Xu.
"Under the command!" Jia Xu happily accepted the order.
"Gongtai, you stay in Chen Liucheng and be responsible for all the command and dispatch. The king personally led the troops to fight with the two brothers of the Xiahou family. Liu Yu also made relevant arrangements for Chen Gong.
"Don't worry, the lord will ensure that Chen Liucheng is always in the hands of the lord." Chen Gong also made a guarantee.
"Alright, let's all go down." After arranging everything, Liu Yu began to rush people. Jia Xu and Chen Gong didn't dare to stay longer, and immediately left Liu Yu's camp.
After leaving Liu Yu's camp, Jia Xu immediately bowed to Chen Gong and thanked him for his previous advice, but unfortunately he was too confident and did not listen to him.
Chen Gong smiled and said that it was nothing.
Jia Xu invited Chen Gong to his tent to talk and enhance his feelings. Chen Gong was also happy to go.
