Jia Xu rarely offered advice on weekdays, but once he offered advice, all he offered to Cao Cao was a strategy that was enough to change the situation.

Cao Cao was wearing filial piety clothes, wearing a white scarf on his head, and a pair of small bean eyes were red and swollen from crying, it was obvious that Xiahou's death had brought him a lot of blows.

Cao Cao's eyes were red and swollen, and he looked at Jia Xu seriously: "What does Wen He mean?" ”

Jia Xu said lightly: "Sikong took the opportunity of General Xiahou's funeral to secretly transfer troops, intending to attack the pottery merchant to take revenge, but in the eyes of the old man, this method is not advisable, and the potter has a lot of talents. ”

Cao Cao took a deep breath: "Then according to what you said, shouldn't Cao take revenge for Yuan Rang's revenge?" The land in Hebei, Cao Mou won't take it? ”

Jia Xu said respectfully: "Sikong misunderstood, the revenge of the relatives naturally has to be avenged, but it also depends on whether it can be repaid, and the fertile land must be taken, but it also depends on whether it can be taken." ”

When Cao Cao heard this, his eyebrows almost turned upside down: "You say I can't compete with the potter?" ”

Jia Xu pondered for a moment: "For now, the Black Mountain Army has fallen to the pottery merchants, the Southern Xiongnu have tied their hands, Wuhuan has been annexed, and the old department of Youzhou has surrendered...... Under all kinds of disadvantages, the old man thinks that Sikong really can't compete with the potter, and even if he does, the loss is too great, and it is not cost-effective. ”

Cao Cao understands what Jia Xu said, but from a certain point of view, he is unwilling to admit it.

He didn't want to admit that he had lost, especially the potter.

Jia Xu continued: "Since we can't fight for Jizhou, Sikong should take a long-term view, leave here, withdraw troops from Luoyang, seek to annex the state, and attack Guanzhong, which can also enhance its strength." ”

Cao Cao sneered and laughed at himself: "If you really let the pottery merchants seize Jizhou and annex the people of the Yan Dynasty, what is the use of Cao Mou attacking Guanzhong?" At that time, he will have the strength to dominate the world. ”

Jia Xu pondered for a moment and said: "The old decay let Sikong temporarily withdraw from the battle for Hebei, and it is also a plan for Sikong to win." ”

Cao Cao turned his head to look at him and said, "What is the winning chess?" ”

"Sikong withdrew from Hebei and united with Sanliu in the south, so that he had the strength to confront the pottery merchants."

……

When he was young, he saw Jia Xu walking out of Cao Cao's tent with a tired face.

Jia Xu's eldest son, Jia Mu, is now following Jia Xu and taking care of his life as a white body, after all, Jia Xu is nearly sixty years old, his health is not as good as before, and he needs to be taken care of by his relatives.

It was getting late, a little cold, and Jia Mu put his cloak on Jia Xu.

"Father, you hurriedly came to Sikong to offer advice, let him leave Hebei, and attack Guanzhong and Sanliu, but for what? It's not like what you taught me on a daily basis. ”

Jia Xu looked around, and when he saw that there was no one, Fang whispered to Jia Mu: "Child, if you think about it carefully, this is more or less for our Jia family to find a way out...... At least the Jia family can be undefeated. ”

Jia Mu looked at Jia Xu curiously, and said strangely: "Please also ask my father for advice." ”

Jia Xu said lightly: "Help both Cao and Tao...... What is there to explain? Go back and realize for yourself. ”

When Jia Mu heard this, he really didn't ask, and lowered his head and pondered.

Jia Xu usually treats him like this and cultivates him.

After a while, Jamu probably understood.

Jia Xu offered advice to Cao Cao to let him leave Hebei and attack Guanzhong, one of which is indeed the best way to retreat to Cao Cao at the moment, because in the current situation, it is not the best strategy to continue to fight hard with potters.

In addition, asking Cao Cao to withdraw his troops at such a moment and give the opportunity to the potters is also a disguised show of goodwill, if the potters really gain power in the future...... This may also be a way out for the Jia family to leave a clear retreat.

……

The potters arranged an ambush in their camp and were ready to meet Cao Cao at any time.

But left and right, Cao Cao's soldiers and horses never appeared.

In the end, the school office brought news that Cao Cao, after mourning Xiahou, actually set off from the village overnight, and the soldiers went west and left the territory of Jizhou.

After the potter learned the news, he was somewhat skeptical.

He immediately sent the school affairs of the school office to the direction where Cao Jun was located and carefully investigated.

In the end, the school affairs brought back a definite message that Cao Cao's soldiers and horses had indeed been divided into two routes and transferred to Luoyang and Sanhe territory.

In this way, Cao Cao can be regarded as withdrawing from the Jizhou dispute? So easy to quit with? Zhuge Liang was in the handsome tent, looking at Pitu while talking to himself suspiciously.

Tao Shang pestleed his chin, also looked at Pitu, and said: "The school affairs of the school affairs office came to report, saying that Jia Xu, the head of the Eagle and Snake Mansion in the Luoyang Helping Zhong Xuanzhi Guan, came to Cao Cao's camp in person...... If nothing else, he persuaded Cao Cao to leave Jizhou. ”

Zhuge Liang was very curious: "Teacher, who is this Jia Xu?" ”

Tao Shang explained: "Jia Xu, who is nearly sixty years old, is in charge of the Eagle and Snake Mansion for Cao Cao, although he does not speak much on weekdays and does not often offer advice, but when he makes a move, it must be a conspiracy, and ordinary people can't understand his thinking. ”

Zhuge Liang was surprised when he heard this: "Listen to the teacher's meaning, this Jia Xu ...... Is it an extremely difficult character to deal with? If this is the case, then why has this person not been famous under Cao Cao all these years? ”

The potter sighed, and he didn't know how to explain it to Zhuge Liang.

At the beginning, when the school government found out about Jia Xu's matter and reported it, if it weren't for the potter's special sensitivity to this name, he might have ignored this person.

Let's go back and look into it.

"Kong Ming, since Cao Cao has withdrawn his troops, then our next step is to start attacking Jizhou."

Zhuge Liang nodded and said, "Just wait for Sima Zhongda, Mr. Guo and others in North Manchuria, and after they have settled down, the soldiers and horses of all roads can attack Jizhou in separate ways." ”

The potter turned around, picked up a pen and a slip on the table, and said: "Kong Ming, how to attack the soldiers and horses from all walks of life this time, how to agree on the time, how to attack Jizhou, all up to you to make a strategy, you write a letter and send an order, and I will cover the seal and ribbon and send it everywhere." ”

Zhuge Liang was shocked when he heard this, and he looked at the potter in surprise: "Teacher, do this...... Did the student trespass? ”

The potter used the pen to dip the ink and handed it to him: "What are so many worries, I will support you, you just let go and do it, command all the soldiers and horses to seize the Daxu of the Yuan clan in Runan, this is not such a thing every day, you are afraid that you can only meet this time in your life, if you don't want to do it, you will not have a chance!" ”

Zhuge Liang hesitated for a moment, and finally his face showed firmness, he reached out and took the pen handed to him by the potter, and wrote it down in front of the potter, stroke by stroke......

In the three years of Jiankang, the Jinling Army, the Southern Xiongnu Army, the Old Department of Youzhou, the Black Mountain Army, and the Three Kings of Wuhuan were divided into five routes, and under the command of the pottery merchant and the instruction of Zhuge Liang, they began to launch a comprehensive attack on the Yuan clan in Jizhou.
