Chapter Twenty-Five: Jia Xu's Opinion
It wasn't Lu Bu who talked to the three of them later, he didn't want to play any tricks with these officials, just leave these troublesome things to Jia Xu to deal with, he just needed to maintain a cold and arrogant side, in his previous life, he was a proud person.
About an hour later, Jia Xu knocked on the door and entered.
"How are the three of them?" Lu Bu asked.
"Wen Hou, from the perspective of humble duty, the Mi family has the intention of taking refuge in Wen Hou, and the humble position has hinted at Mi Zhu, if Mi Zhu agrees to marry, the Mi family will inevitably follow Wen Hou's side." Jia Xu said that he has a certain understanding of the affairs between big families, and if he wants these families to follow, he must gain their trust, and there is nothing more direct and simple than marriage.
Lu Budao: "Ben Jiang is a person with a wife and daughter, if Mi Zhu is interested, let his sister be the concubine of Ben General." ”
Taking a concubine is a very ordinary thing in the eyes of officials, but after all, Lu Bu at this time is from the future world, and he has a certain rejection of such a system, but he also understands Jia Xu's intentions in doing this.
"Humble duty understands." Jia Xu arched his hand.
"Peng Cheng will definitely become the general, Wen He should not hide it." Lu Bu said slowly.
"Although Wen Hou can rest assured, he will definitely do his best." Jia Xu said.
After Jia Xu negotiated with Chen Deng and others, he had already been exposed, and the officials in the city were very likely to attribute Lu Bu's plan this time to him, and once Lu Bu lost his current power, he would not end well.
"What about the army outside the city?" Lu Bu cast an inquiring look.
Jia Xu pondered for a moment and said: "Although there are more than 10,000 people in the army outside the city at this time, there is no need to worry, the most important thing is Pengcheng, Tao Qian is difficult to take advantage of Wen Hou's hands, and it will definitely make his prestige in Xuzhou decline, which is also a good opportunity for Wen Hou to control Pengcheng." ”
"Okay, if there is any change in the city, kill it directly, no need to show mercy." Lu Bu nodded.
"What the humble post is worried about is that Tao Qian will unite with officials from other states and counties, if this is the case, then the situation of Wen Hou is critical, this time Tao Qian led the army to crusade against the old thief of Dong Zhuo in the city and occupy the righteousness." Jia Xu arched his hand.
Lu Bu smiled: "I thought that Wen He would hide it all along. ”
Jia Xu's heart moved, and from Lu Bu's words, he clearly noticed that Lu Bu had already thought about this.
"Humble and stupid, I just thought of it." Jia Xu said calmly.
Lu Budao: "The eighteenth road princes crusaded against Dong Zhuo, the momentum was huge, but the cost was quite large, even if they stood up to support Tao Qian at this time, the troops sent would not be too much, besides, if Tao Qian's army was defeated, would it be necessary for them to support a Xuzhou assassin who had no power?" ”
"Wen Hou is wise." Jia Xu arched his hand and said: "After occupying Xuzhou, Marquis Wen can give the Ming court and lead the post of Xuzhou pastor, so it is justified." ”
Lu Bu said with a smile: "Ben Jiang is separated from Dong Zhuo, and the old thief can be said to hate Ben Jiang to the core, how can he easily agree to this." ”
"Wen Hou's words are bad, with Dong Zhuo's character, he will not agree to this, but Li Ru will persuade Dong Zhuo to agree." Jia Xu said slowly: "Dong Zhuo angered the princes of the world in Luoyang, and caused the princes' coalition to attack Luoyang, although the capital was moved to Chang'an, he must be panicked, at this time, what Dong Zhuo needs to do is to make the role of the Son of Heaven as much as possible in his hands." ”
"Although the Son of Heaven has no power, after all, he is the son of the first emperor, and it is justifiable to be canonized by the Son of Heaven, and after Wenhou occupies Xuzhou, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the princes, so as to distract the princes' attention to Chang'an, and use Wenhou to attract the attack of the princes, which is of great benefit to Dong Zhuo."
Lu Bu snorted coldly: "In that case, why should Ben Jiang ask the imperial court. ”
"If Marquis Wen does not have the canonization of the imperial court, it will definitely make the people of Xuzhou unstable, this is one, even if Marquis Wen does not give the Ming court, will the rest of the princes sit back and watch Marquis Wen sit in Xuzhou?" Jia Xu said: "Rather than this, it is better to go through the imperial court." ”
Lu Bu pondered for a moment and said: "What you said has a certain amount of truth, and it is not too late to talk about this matter after repelling Tao Qian." ”
"Whoa." Jia Xu arched his hand.
Jia Xu suddenly found that Lu Bu was arrogant, but he was still able to listen to some useful suggestions, maybe the coldness was just what he showed.
Lu Bu was not even more curious about Jia Xu, this famous strategist in the late Han Dynasty was really extraordinary, if he could get Jia Xu's best help, why not be able to gain a foothold in Xuzhou.
Although Xuzhou is not as huge as Yanzhou and Jizhou, Xuzhou is rich, and with Xuzhou as the foundation, it may be able to do more when the princes are fighting.
For three days in a row, no fighting broke out outside the city, and if it weren't for the occasional presence of scouts from Tao Qian's army outside the city, the officials in Pengcheng even suspected that Tao Qian had retreated.
Tao Qian has been running Xuzhou for many years, and there are not a few people who secretly support him, but these families, without the support of the Chen family and the Mi family, are difficult to succeed.
Many officials Huo Ran woke up, they all underestimated Lu Bu, as a military general, Lu Bu actually played tricks with the officials of Xuzhou, behind these families, but with the support of officials, after the family was destroyed, they could be spared.
The Chen family and the Mi family seemed to have disappeared, and they closed their doors and did not see others, which made the officials in the city feel a strange atmosphere.
At the second watch, the west gate opened, and Gao Shun led the trapped camp to leave quietly, and at the same time, the south gate and the north gate opened at the same time, and the two cavalry teams disappeared into the night.
Three days, the officials of Pengcheng have seen Lu Bu's means, at this time, even if there are officials who want to help Tao Qian in secret, it is impossible to stand up at such a time, and then they have to rely on Tao Qian's own ability, if Tao Qian can have an advantage in the confrontation with Lu Bu, they don't mind helping from it, so that Tao Qian can become the master of Xuzhou again, otherwise, they can only rely on Lu Bu to survive.
Reality is sometimes so cruel, without enough strength, even if there is someone to support it, what can it be.
The moon was sparse, and the two cavalry teams stopped at a distance of one mile from the Xuzhou military camp.
Just half an hour after the three teams left, on the west side of the Xuzhou military camp, there was a shocking shout of killing.
Gao Shun led the trapping camp and entered the Xuzhou army.
However, the Xuzhou army seemed to have been prepared for this surprise attack, and rushed forward quickly, trying to wipe out the trapped camp.
