Thinking of this, Zhang Ji, who was sitting on the main seat, quickly cut off the idea of retreating, and then looked at Li Xu under the seat, and Li Ji directly turned his attention to Jia Xu.

Jia Xu looked at his nose and nose and did not say a word. Jia Xu didn't speak, and Li Xu didn't dare to speak, so he quickly shook his head at Zhang Ji, indicating that he didn't pay attention either. Zhang Ji sighed in annoyance, waved his hand, and asked Li Xuan and Jia Xu to leave.

"Wen He. Now there is a shortage of food and grass, and the morale of the generals is low. How is this good, please Wenhe teach me. ”

After leaving the tent, Li Xu looked sincere and looked at Jia Xu. Jia Xu looked at Li Xu and said lightly.

"If so, now I will tell General Li and General Zhang to withdraw their troops, go back to Luoyang, confess the guilt to Duke Dong and explain his strength, and then make a military order, reorganize the army, and then come to conquer Hedong. Will General Lee agree? Will General Zhang agree again? ”

Li Zhuo's expression was stunned, and Dong Zhuo's angry appearance rose in his mind, and his neck couldn't help shrinking, and he cowered.

"Never. Dong Gong has a temperament, Wen and you know. If he is angry, I am afraid that I will not be able to save my head. ”

"That's why I asked you to make a military order. Although Dong Gong is short-tempered, there is a Li Zhongling beside him who is mentioning. Today's defeat is all due to the fact that at the critical moment, General Guo underestimated the enemy and did not pay enough attention to the strength of the Hedong Army.

Now, both General Zhang and General Li have tasted hardships, and they will definitely be more cautious against the enemy next time, so that it will be difficult for the Hedong Army to find a gap again. As long as General Li and General Zhang are determined to conquer Hedong, their will will inevitably infect Dong Gong and Li Zhongling. At that time, Dong Gong will not blame you much, but will vigorously support you and let you make up for your mistakes. ”

Li Ru pondered for a while, but finally was afraid of Dong Zhuo's blame, and hesitated to push.

"I have a lot to think about. Today, we still have an army of 40,000 under our command, and although there is little food and grass, we can last for two months. And I'm not a general in the army after all, and General Zhang is not so easy to convince..."

When Jia Xu heard Li Ru's words, he shook his head on the spot, and after sighing, he ignored him and left alone.

And at the same time, in Yanshi City.

"Lord, today's battle is all my fault, I didn't expect that the Liangzhou army would have a master in charge, and I saw through my plan, and almost killed General Gao, causing a big mistake, and Zhicai is willing to be punished!"

"No, third brother. It's Gongming who didn't discover the tricks of the Liangzhou Army earlier, and the blame lies with me, and it has nothing to do with the military advisor, so let me bear it alone. ”

"The military advisor and the four generals are not at fault. It was the dullness of the last general who did not know how to evacuate in time that caused today's crisis. It's all the last thing! ”

"All right, get up, all of you. Zhicai, Boyi, Gongming, you are not at fault in today's battle, if it weren't for your improvisation, I'm afraid that the loss now will be even greater.

Yanshi's county government was temporarily requisitioned by Wen Han, and in the county government hall, Wen Han helped up Xi Long, Xu Huang, and Gao Shun. When the three of them returned, they all knelt down and confessed their guilt. Wen Han knew that the three of them could not be blamed for today's battle, and after being appeased by good words for a while, he tried his best to remove the guilt and shadow in the hearts of Xi Long and the other three.

In today's battle, 2,000 soldiers and horses led by Xu Huang were killed, and the losses of the soldiers and horses led by Gao Shun were even more miserable, with more than 3,000 killed in battle, and 2,000 wounded soldiers who were lightly wounded and seriously injured. The cavalry army led by Wen Han suffered relatively small casualties, only two or three hundred people. But Rao was like this, and the number of casualties reached nearly seven or eight thousand. It was nearly one-third of the strength of the Hedong Army.

It's no wonder that Xi Long, Xu Huang, and Gao Shun have such ugly and guilty faces. But Wen Han didn't want to, they sank into the painful frustration of the past, so they changed the topic.

"Who is the master of this Liangzhou army, every move we are waiting for seems to be seen by him. If it were today, if it weren't for the wisdom of the people, and they knew how to burn grain to turn the tables, the consequences would be really unimaginable. ”

Speaking of this master, Xi Long's face froze, and his originally gloomy gaze immediately burst into brilliance.

"Lord, this person has a vicious plan, and all his plans are to force people to death. As far as I can see, this person's strategy is even better than Dong Zhuo's think tank Li Ru. It's just that such a person, how can he be unknown, except for Li Ru under Dong Zhuo, he has never heard of such a sharp strategist.

In this way, this person is not only vicious, but also good at hiding. If I had known that there was such a master hiding in the Liangzhou army, I would never have made such a rash plan. ”

Vicious and good at hiding? Wen Han narrowed his eyes and quickly read the strategists under Dong Zhuo's command recorded in history in his mind.

Suddenly, Wen Han's eyes widened, and he wanted to slap himself several times.

"Damn!! How did I forget this person!! ”

Wen Han cried out in his heart, he remembered a super strategist that he would never take lightly. That is Jia Xu, who is known as the 'poisoner', he is full of tricks and has no last resort. first served as a strategist in Li Dao's account, and then after Li Dao and others failed, he became Zhang Xiu's strategist.

Zhang Xiu used his tactics to defeat Cao Cao twice, and almost killed the peerless Cao Cao. If it weren't for the fact that Adrax Wei was loyal to the Lord, he would have blocked Zhang Xiu's army with the strength of one person. I am afraid that Cao Cao will die in Wancheng, and Cao Cao's eldest son Cao Ang also died in that battle.

As Xi Long said, Jia Xu made a plan, and the plan was vicious, forcing people to death. It is precisely because of Jia Xu's superb strategy that even if Jia Xu murdered Cao Cao's most beloved general and eldest son, Cao Cao was ruthless enough to kill him. Instead, he reused Jia Xu, won Jia Xu's sincere convincing, and showed his true colors.

Later, Jia Xu did not disappoint Cao Cao. Cao Cao fought Yuan Shao in Guandu, Tongguan broke Xiliang, Ma Chao and Han Sui all had Jia Xu's figure.

At the same time, on the issue of Cao Cao's successor, Jia Xu played an important role. Because it was he who secretly assisted Cao Pi. Cao Pi later called the emperor and named his official Taiwei and Wei Shou Xianghou. Moreover, it is said that Sima Yi was the most afraid of the two in the Cao Cao group in his life, and he never dared to show his ambitions before the two of them died. One is, of course, the peerless hero Cao Cao, and the other is the poisoner Jia Xu!

At the same time, Jia Xu is good at concealment, which is also reflected in his practice after joining Cao Cao. Jia Xu often kept his door behind closed doors, did not associate with others in private, and his children did not marry the powerful. And he never competes with others, but he always knows when Cao Cao needs him, and he always makes plans at the most suitable time.

In later generations, a certain master critic once commented on Jia Xu, Jia Xu was able to judge the situation in troubled times, he lived the longest, and he also saved his family. This is the real great wisdom, and Jia Xu may be the smartest person during the Three Kingdoms period.

Whether Jia Xu was the smartest person in the Three Kingdoms period, Wen Han didn't know, but he was sure that this person was definitely terrifying, because even today, Wen Han had already tried his viciousness. Today's battle is also the heaviest loss he has ever had!

Thinking of Jia Xu, Wen Han's face was scared for a while, and Xi Long saw that Wen Han's face was covered with cold sweat, his expression was sluggish, and he shouted Wen Han several times before Wen Han reacted.

"Zhicai, pass the order. Increase the defense, and you must not rush to attack again. The high man's name is Jia Xu. Against this person, you can't be a little, a little lax! ”

This is the first time Xi Long has seen Wen Han so dignified, so dignified that people feel that he has a trace of fear. Xi Long didn't feel a little nervous in his heart, and he shook his head heavily.

The first battle between the Hedong Army and the Liangzhou Army that was conquered by it ended in defeat. After a few days, there was no movement on either side, and Wen Han was cautious in everything because he found out about Jia Xu's existence, and he only had the idea of defending the city. And Zhang Ji, the general of Liangzhou, also led Li Xuan, Jia Xu and other soldiers to observe Yanshi City, and saw that Yanshi had built an urn city, and he was completely in a posture of holding still and waiting for the enemy to attack, Zhang Ji was big for a while.

"Could it be that this is extraordinary, I knew that the Dong Guild would send troops to conquer? Otherwise, how could this Yanshi be so well guarded, and this urn city would know that it was newly built at a glance. ”

Zhang Ji shook his head, his face full of distress, as time went by, there would be less and less food in his army, and there would be less and less time left for him.

And Jia Xu on the side, looking at the solid Yanshi, also secretly appreciated, and unconsciously valued Wenhan's Hedong Group.

Zhang Ji thought about it for a while, but he didn't think of how to break through this Yanshi City, and in addition to Yanshi City, if he wanted to attack Hedong, he had to borrow Hanoi or go to Hongnong. At present, time is pressing, and it is absolutely impossible to go away to Hongnong, and as for Hanoi Taishou Yuan Benchu who has just turned his face with Dong Zhuo, it is almost impossible to lend him the road. Therefore, if Zhang Ji wants to attack Hedong, he has no choice but to break through Yanshi City.

Zhang Ji sighed again and again, thinking that Li urged him to say a clever plan again and again that day, so he asked him for the method. And Li urged his stomach to have no ink at all, and after a long time, it was not good to ask Jia Xu in person. I had to tell Zhang Ji that he couldn't think of any way to break the enemy for a while, so he asked Zhang Ji to give him a little more time.

Zhang Ji was very helpless, and after observing Yanshi for a while, he led the troops to leave.

In the next few days, Li Xu often pestered Jia Xu, persuading him with good words and threatening him with evil words, but Jia Xu was hard-hearted and didn't want to make another plan, so he shirked Li Xu with the excuse that there was nothing to be done.

After that day, Jia Xu persuaded Li to return to Luoyang to reorganize and fight again, but Li urged him not to listen. Jia Xu's original interest was completely gone, and coupled with the garrison measures he had seen from Yanshi, unless there was a strange strategy to implement, it was basically impossible to break through within two months.

At this time, Jia Xu didn't want to show his talent too much, for many reasons, of course, the most important point is that Jia Xu is not optimistic that Dong Zhuo can get the world.

Jia Xu had no plan, of course Li Xuan became a dumb man, Zhang Ji saw that Li Xuan had not thought of a plan to break the enemy for many days, so he no longer hesitated at the moment and prepared to storm Yanshi City.

And on the day when Zhang Ji made the decision to attack Yanshi, Jia Xu fell ill by coincidence, and asked Zhang Ji and Li Qi to return to Luoyang to recuperate. Zhang Ji saw that Jia Xu's face was pale and colorless, and he rarely spoke in the army, so he agreed to him. As for Li Xu, Jia Xu refused to give advice for him, it was better to be out of sight, and he looked sluggish, and he didn't seem to be pretending to be sick, so he didn't stop him.

So Li Xun sent a team of more than a dozen soldiers and horses to escort Jia Xu back to Luoyang. Jia Xu was halfway to the road, stopped in the middle of a riverbank, and guarded Du Bodao beside him.

"Chen Bing went to fetch water and washed my face."

This Dubo is also a native of Wuwei in Liangzhou, and he is a fellow villager who comes to Jia Xu, and he has special respect for Jia Xu. And Jia Xu also regarded him as a confidant, and secretly helped him rise from a pawn to a dub under Li Xu's command. Chen Bing was grateful to Jia Xu in his heart, and even vaguely regarded Jia Xu as his master.

After Chen Bing responded respectfully, he got off the horse and took the bamboo tube to fetch water for Jia Xu, and after coming back, he handed the bamboo tube to Jia Xu, and opened his mouth, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.
