After Dong Zhao sent Sun Ce to get a satisfactory answer from Cao Cao, he went south non-stop and headed for Yuan Shu's Yangzhou!

After Bingyuan sent Yuan Shao, he went west again, and after entering the state, he went south across Weishui and entered the Chang'an territory! But he came to envoy Liu Bei!

Entering Chang'an, Bing Yuan was able to meet Liu Bei, and Liu Bei was quite surprised when he learned that Bing Yuan had gotten it!

"Genju, I came to Chang'an this time, but what does my senior brother need my Liu Bei's help with?" Liu Bei really couldn't think of Gongsun Zhan's intention to send an envoy, so he asked!

"Hussar general, my lord sent a certain person here mainly to let me want the hussar general to be supreme and grateful. The second is to form an alliance with the hussar general to fight against Yuan Shao! Bing Yuan said!

"Although I Liu Bei is a vast northwest land, but the northwest is bitterly cold, and there have been wars in the past, so I don't have the ability to fight outside the team at this time, otherwise I would have led the troops to attack Cao Cao and save the Son of Heaven!" Liu Bei didn't let Jia Xu, Zhang Zhao and others speak, but replied directly!

"My lord only took the hussar general and was unable to fight again at this time, but my lord also followed the hussar general's suggestion to temporarily make friends with Yuan Shao, and when Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were both defeated, he waved his army south to fight with Yuan Shao for the land of merger.

However, I am afraid that Yuan Shao will be powerful, so I want to invite the hussar general to send troops from Yongzhou and Sizhou to attack and attack Yuan Shao, so that Yuan Shao can be destroyed overnight, my lord, the hussar general and Cao Cao share the land of Yuan Shao! Bing Yuan said!

"This matter is unavoidable, but for the time being, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao have no war, let alone a decisive battle! And if Cao Cao and Yuan Shao have a decisive battle, when both are defeated, I want to attack Cao Cao Yanzhou to save the Son of Heaven and return to the dynasty! Liu Bei didn't obviously refuse, but generally talked about his own thoughts!

However, Bing Yuan didn't care, and continued to speak: "Cao Cao's coercion of the Son of Heaven to make the princes is indeed despicable, but Yuan Shao and Liu Yu want to establish themselves as emperors, which is even more infuriating, so the hussar general should attack Yuan Shao as the main and Cao Cao as the auxiliary!" ”

"This matter allows me to think about it, but there is one thing that needs to be told to my senior brother Gongsun Zhan, the love of giving horses back then, I Liu Bei remembered it, if he has the opportunity to get drunk with his senior brother in the future!

In addition, Youzhou is located in a remote area, but it is surrounded by strong enemies, and I previously suggested that the senior brother should not compete with Yuan Shao, but it is also considered that Xianbei, Goguryeo, Buyeo and even the Japanese on the other side of the sea are all strong enemies in Youzhou, and the senior brother needs to deal with it carefully! Liu Bei said quite sincerely!

After that, the two sides did not discuss government affairs, and then Bing Yuan, accompanied by Zhang Zhao, inspected Chang'an for a while, Liu Bei selected some gifts for Bing Yuan to bring back to Youzhou together!

However, in the Hussar General's Mansion, the dialogue between Liu Bei and Jia Xu and others never stopped!

"Lord, Gongsun Chan sent someone to discuss with the lord at this time about dividing and merging the state, but I'm afraid that the intention is unclear!" After Jia Xu waited for Zhang Zhao to take away Bing Yuan, he spoke!

"I can't fully guess Gongsun Zhan's intentions, maybe someone under Gongsun Chan has seen something and come to test me; Or maybe you really feel that it is a bit difficult to take Jizhou and Merge Prefecture by yourself!

It's just that it's too early, and there is no need to think about it yet! Liu Bei thought about it and said with a headache!

"My lord, I'm afraid it won't be so simple, the next time Bingyuan came and asked to inspect Chang'an, but in a certain opinion, he came to find out whether the lord has the ability to go north or east.

Now that Yuan Shao has won the land of two states, he will inevitably attack Qingzhou in the coming year; And Cao Cao is now in Yanzhou, and if he attacks Xuzhou in the coming year. Then Yuan Shao will fight Cao Cao in the land of three states, and he will inevitably lose both.

Gongsun Zan sent Bingyuan here at this moment, he must have been afraid that the lord would send troops north to seize the state, but he and Cao Cao could only divide Jizhou and Qingzhou. If the lord does not go north to attack Bingzhou, it is very likely that Gongsun Zhan will be able to take the two states of Bingzhou and Jizhou, and his power will be comparable to Cao Cao, so he can also fight with Cao Cao! Jia Xu continued to analyze!

"What Wen He said is that Gongsun Chan is not at ease with me, and is afraid that I will snatch and merge the state together?" The more Liu Bei thought about it, the more it made sense!

"It is very likely that the lord has just offered a plan to the function Sun Zan, so Gongsun Zan is not willing to be a villain, so he will send Bing Yuan to tempt!" Jia Xu continued!

"In this way, in the opinion of Wen He, will I take this merger or not?" Liu Bei asked!

"Naturally, the state and the four states, Yongzhou is separated by the Yellow River and Weishui, and the northern Xianbei of the state is Kirby can be in charge, the lord and Budugen are good, Kirby can regard the lord as an enemy, is once the lord takes away the state, Kirby can inevitably harass from time to time.

If the lord is better in Kirby, Budugen will inevitably cholera Liangzhou, so for the lord, it is not beneficial to take away the state!

More importantly, Gongsun Zhan's power was originally weaker than Cao Cao's, and if the lord recaptured and annexed the state, Gongsun Chan would inevitably not be able to compete with Cao Cao, which was not conducive to the lord's western and southern strategies! Jia Xu analyzed!

"That's true, if Gongsun Zan thinks about me so much, but it's really a bit of a villain, now I have six states in the northwest, although the territory is vast, but there are many enemies: there are Kushan and Northern Xiongnu in the northwest; There is Xianbei in the north; There are Jingzhou and Yizhou in the south; There are Yanzhou, Jizhou, and Yuzhou in the east!

At this time, seizing and annexing the state is nothing more than increasing the ability of Gongsun Chan and Kirby to be enemies, and it is useless for my strategy! Liu Bei nodded and said!

"Wen He, speaking of this, next year, what will happen to Yuan Shu, Liu Biao, Sun Ce and Liu Zhang?" After thinking about it, Liu Bei continued to ask!

"Liu Biao is the lord of the guard, if there is no order from the Son of Heaven, he will inevitably hold Jingzhou, although Jingzhou Nanyang is in the hands of the lord, but because of the Yangtze River natural danger, Liu Biao will not easily send troops, so next year Liu Biao will not move and wait for the opportunity!

Put Liu Zhang, after Liu Yan's death, Liu Zhang failed to even defend it, Zhang Lu dominated Hanzhong, but Liu Zhang could only defend by risk, so even if Liu Zhang sent troops, he would inevitably only go north to fight Hanzhong, and he would not attack Jingzhou along the Yangtze River, or go south to fight the barbarians in Nanzhong! Jia Xu said quite confidently!

"Well, that's true, what about Yuan Shu and Sun Ce?" Liu Bei continued to ask!

"Yuan Shu has captured Yangzhou, at this time the soldiers in his hands are full of food, the power is strong, next year when his power is at its peak, it will inevitably be called the emperor in Yangzhou, then Sun Ce will inevitably attack Yuan Shu with righteousness, so in the next two years, Yuan Shu and Sun Ce will inevitably have a big war to destroy each other!" Jia Xu also analyzed!

"If Yuan Shu and Sun Ce fight, what should I do in Jiaozhou?" Liu Bei continued to ask!

"It depends on the situation, if Jiaozhou is attacking Yizhou or Jingzhou at that time, then the battle of Yangzhou has nothing to do with the lord, but if Jiaozhou is in a truce at that time, there may be a chance to fight Yangzhou!"

"The words of Wenhe are good strategies! The day before yesterday, I chatted with Fuchu and Akihime, and I heard Akihime talk about your eldest son, Jamu! How old is Jamu now? Liu Bei asked lightly!

Regarding Liu Bei's question, Jia Xu's heart tightened, not that Jia Xu had any rebellious thoughts, but that Jia Xu, who was the main defender of the family, did not want his son to enter Liu Bei's government affairs group so early! However, Jia Xu couldn't avoid Liu Bei's questioning, so he said:

"Dog Jamu is Chinese New Year's Eve now!"

"Have you ever been married?"

"I took my wife four years ago, and my father-in-law was not there at that time, and it was my mother's marriage!"

"Oh, I see, some time ago, I listened to Zhao Ji's words, Jia Mu is outstanding, and if the territory in the six northwestern states is vast, but there are few capable officials, I want to use Jia Mu as a county guard, I don't know what Wenhe thinks?" Liu Bei finally said his purpose!

Jia Xu is different from Huang Zhong, Ma Teng, Lu Bu and others, Jia Xu is low-key, although he is a military advisor in Liu Bei's army, and he is the head of the military advisor, but he is in a hurry to get an official position for his son!

And the generals under Liu Bei are different, once the heirs grow up, they are recommended to fight on the battlefield under Liu Bei, and even people like Lu Meng, Huang Xu, and Ma Chao can already stand alone!

"But by the command of the Lord!" Jia Xu thought about it and felt that there was no excuse to refuse, so he agreed!!

"Xizhou is stable, and the officials are prosperous, let Jia Mu go to Shanshan County first to guard a county, and if he has outstanding political achievements, he will be transferred back to Chang'an to serve!" In the end, Liu Bei decided!

This decision is indispensable for Jia Xu, Jia Xu has followed Liu Bei for the longest time and has the highest merits, but Liu Bei's reward for Jia Xu is not particularly thick, especially for official positions, but now Jia Mu is the patriarch of a county, which can be said to return Liu Bei's favor to Jia Xu to Jia Mu!
