Chapter 43 The long drive of the white horse to the west hall

The night is cool, the bright moon hangs high, this late night, the two sides of the Yellow River do not return to tranquility, on the contrary, in the sound of water, frogs, insects, everywhere is brightly lit, and people come and go. Not only was the Pujin Department transporting troops and supplies overnight, and trying to reorganize the captured battalion, with the distant escape of the rout and the previous request for help, all around, from the nearest Linjin City behind Pujin to Huayin south of Weishui, and then to Tongguan, Dong Zhuojun had also been on full alert and began to dispatch the army.

Of course, only Linjin City was too close to each other, and he barely learned the information that Zhang Ji died and Pujin changed hands that night, and the rest of Huayin and Tongguan were still based on Zhang Ji's request for help, which inevitably slowed down by half a beat.

Of course, this is enough to shake the situation.

"Jia Jun! Jia Jun! "On the plateau, at the highest point of the gate tower of Tongguan City, Lu Bu climbed the city tower and saw the familiar figure standing here under the moon, so he couldn't help but exhale a long breath." I didn't find anyone in your residence, so I knew that Jia Jun was here...... Jia Jun! ”

"Wen Hou came to me because of Pujin's critical military report?" Jia Xu turned around, but naturally guessed the purpose of the other party's trip.

"What else could it be?" Lu Bu was helpless for a while. "Jia Jun, the situation is urgent, please teach me what the outcome of the battle of Pujin will be?"

"I don't know." Jia Xu's face was as usual, but he spread his hands and told the truth. "Wen Hou, you are also a person who uses soldiers, you said it yourself, we only know some information from the air, at most we know that General Wei is suspicious here, but Pujin has done his best, what do the rest know? That being the case, God knows what the outcome will be? ”

Lu Bu raised his head and sighed, but stepped forward again, lowered his voice and continued to ask: "Jia Jun, I won't hide it from you, now I'm not worried about how Pu Jin is, but I don't know what I should do?" ”

Jia Xu was silent.

"Jia Jun." Seeing this, Lu Bu couldn't help but become earnest and anxious. "I know that you are from Liangzhou, and the Taishi has asked you to supervise me here, but I also know that you are a rare wise man in the world, and you must have the best of both worlds, so that you and I will not be at a loss."

"Wen Hou." Jia Xu said quietly. "It's not that I don't want to give you advice, or I don't want to help you, but I really don't know what you want...... What the hell do you think about yourself? ”

Lu Bu was slightly stunned, as if he didn't react.

"For example." Seeing this, Jia Xu explained a little. "If Pujin is in danger, then everything is business as usual, and Wen Hou should still be thinking about how to win the trust of the Taishi in the chaos, right?"

"Not bad."

"But what if Kazuzu loses?" Jia Xu continued to ask. "What does Wen Hou want? Do you want to learn from General Xu Zhang to join General Wei, or do you want to think about how to help Dong Gong reject General Wei, can you tell me the truth? ”

Lu Bu looked up to the sky and sighed: "Don't hide it from Jia Jun, my wife and beloved daughter are in Chang'an, I just want to survive first, and then talk about other things." ”

"In other words, do you still want to help Dong Gong reject General Wei first?" Jia Xu chuckled softly. "I think so, otherwise Wen Hou wouldn't have come to me to discuss."

Lu Bu also chuckled in a low voice.

"It's just Wen Hou." Jia Xu suddenly turned pale. "It's true that you are determined to help Dong Gong because of your small family, but if Pujin really loses, the door of Guanzhong is wide open, and General Wei gains power at that time, what should I do? When he sees me, a Xiliang person, he probably won't have anything to say, but when he sees Wen Hou, he asks 'Poor friends, Jane's grace, why didn't you come to help me at that time', how should you deal with it? ”

"Actually, after seeing the military report tonight, I suddenly had a plan." Lu Bu also said with a straight face. "Not only can you refuse to defend the general outside the pass, but it is also possible to turn the situation around and achieve a miracle! That's why I want to come to Jia Jun, please refer to one or two for me. ”

"This is the reason why Wen Hou wants to help the Taishi and refuses to defend the general, right?" Jia Xu suddenly sighed in his heart, and he also sighed again and again. "Wen Hou might as well speak up."

"Jia Jun, please take a look." Lu Bu dragged Jia Xu to the battlements, and then pointed to the brightly lit Youzhou Army Dazhai and said solemnly. "Now we already know that such a big village in front of the pass is just a bluff of auxiliary soldiers, and only Xu Zhang's two departments can really fight, plus the surrender of Shaanxi County......"

"You still want to attack now?" Jia Xu couldn't help frowning. "It's just that there are only Xu Zhang's second troops and some of the troops, and the troops are not weak, right? Moreover, the Youzhou Army has its own Dazhai, and we have 5,000 people in Guanzhong District, how can we win quickly? ”

"You can't win at this time, but if Pujin is captured by the Youzhou army, then tomorrow and the day after tomorrow may not be invincible!" Lu Bu replied with a raised voice. "Jia Jun, what we're talking about is based on Pujin's loss, right?"

"Not bad."

"Then may I ask, if Pujin fails, what will General Wei do?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ You tell me? ”

"It must be to cross the river and return to the east of the river, and then go from Pujin to Linjin, and fight with General Zuo and them in Weishui from there!"

"It's also said that if Pujin is obtained by the Youzhou army, there will be no point in stalemate Tongguan." Jia Xu said thoughtfully. "Wen Hou wants to say, when General Wei crosses the river, you suddenly go out of the customs and follow his back from the rear?"

"Yes!" Lu Bu responded calmly. "In the chaos of the army, I will directly take the enemy general, I intend to capture and kill General Wei on the river beach to determine the overall situation, what does Jia Jun think about this strategy?"

"No!" Jia Xu said bluntly.

"Why?" Lu Fengxian immediately raised his head. "Jia Jun, in the midst of the chaotic battle, I took the general's head like a bag...... In my opinion, this is a once-in-a-lifetime fighter! ”

"Wen Hou." Jia Xu rarely frowned. "I naturally believe in your martial arts, and if you can really take advantage of General Wei's crossing of the river and out of the pass, this plan is certainly feasible...... But I ask you, do you think General Wei would put himself in such a dangerous position? On taking the head of the general in the chaotic war, it is natural that you are outstanding in martial arts and stand alone in the world; But when it comes to the layout of the battle, will General Wei lose to you? Can you think of this fighter, he can't think of it? ”

Lu Bu wanted to speak and stopped.

"Wen Hou." Jia Xu sighed, and also said with emotion. "When you come to ask me, it's nothing more than that I think I'm a little clever and can be sure of the situation, especially in the battle of Xiaopingjin that day, I have repeatedly said it to convince you...... But in fact, it's not that I can pinch and calculate, or I can look at the stars and know the world, but I'm older, a little more understanding, and I can guess some people's thoughts, that's all. For example, I guessed that Yuan Benchu had the intention of annexing the princes, so I concluded that he sent fewer reinforcements; For example, I can see that Wang Kuang is strong on the outside and cowardly on the inside, so I am sure that he will be tricked and act conservatively; And today, since you have come to ask me, I will also speak to you bluntly...... I don't think General Wei will show this flaw! ”

"Specifically?" Lu Bu asked anxiously. "If Pujin is obtained by the Youzhou army, won't he return to Hedong?"

"If you don't return to Hedong, maybe not." Jia Xu pointed to the camp and was not in a hurry. "But have you ever thought that maybe General Wei is not in this camp at all at this time? Maybe he was gone during the decisive battle yesterday? Maybe there was only one white horse flag in the camp at the beginning, and Xu Rong was presiding over the camp from beginning to end? If so, isn't your half-way strategy a fantasy from beginning to end? ”

Lu Bu was stunned and speechless, while Jia Xu shook his head, but simply turned around and left.

"Jia Jun must help me!" Lu Fengxian suddenly grabbed Jia Wenhe's sleeve again. "It's not that I'm doing nothing, it's not that I'm bent on seeking merit, and it's not that I disregard General Wei's feelings back then, but I'm really embarrassed...... Jia Jun said before that was too right, the three generals of the Northern Army have dropped two people, and the main generals in the army are all from Kansai except for one me, so I can't doubt it, I think about it day and night these days, but I am also restless day and night, but my family is small and they are all in Chang'an, for fear of making a mistake. ”

"So, Wen Hou just wants to find a way to survive?" Jia Xu turned around and asked lightly.

"Not bad!"

"You said it earlier." Jia Xu said disapprerovingly. "It's easy."

"Simple?"

"Not bad." Jia Wenhe replied easily. "If Wen Hou wants to survive, why not lead the soldiers and horses of his headquarters to support Pujin with General Zuo?"

Lu Bu was at a loss for a moment: "That's it?" ”

"That's it." Jia Xu turned around and answered. "Wen Hou think about it, you went to Pujin with General Zuo, what else is there to worry about?"

Lu Bu still didn't react: "Please Jia Jun explain it for me." ”

"First, if Wen Hou goes to General Zuo, he will not be the main general, and he will not be suspected." Jia Xu shook his head with a smile. "The reason why you were worried about being suspicious by the Taishi before, wasn't it because you were the main general in a critical place like Tongguan?"

Lu Bu bowed slightly.

"Second, Wen Hou is going to General Zuo here, and he can still act at the opportunity." Jia Xu continued to laugh. "If the battle situation in Pujin is in favor of the Taishi, then Wen Hou is using force; And if Pujin is defeated and the battle situation is reversed, there is nothing to hide, Wen Hou is on the front line, he can always act at the opportunity, and at that time, the front line will be chaotic, no matter what, there will be no information for a while, and he will not really be sorry for the Wen Hou family in the future. ”

Lu Bu suddenly felt enlightened, but hurriedly asked again: "Then may I ask Jia Jun, I will go to Pujin with General Zuo, can General Zuo and Taishi allow?" ”

"Why not?" Jia Xu continued unhurriedly. "Since Pujin is opened, there will be a big war there, and it is time for Wenhou to use force, as for Tongguan here, I am enough to deal with it. And before Xu Rong and Zhang Liao turned against the water, Taishi did not waver for a long time, which shows that he still trusts Wenhou you, but now that he is in Yiwu, he can't repay it, so he can only ask General Zuo to call the shots...... Therefore, at this time, I wrote a letter to General Zuo as the deputy general of Tongguan and the deceased of Liangzhou, and General Zuo, who was in need of employment, had no reason to refuse! ”

Lu Bu sighed with emotion: "Jia Jun is really a lifesaver!" ”

Jia Wenhe shook his head with a wry smile: "I also save first, and then I can save one and count one...... Without further ado, Wen Hou will go and prepare, I will write a letter for you overnight, and then send it overnight, and you will go straight to the Weishui pontoon bridge early tomorrow morning, and meet General Zuo there. ”

After that, the man finally turned around and went downstairs.

And Lu Bu bowed respectfully and sincerely at Jia Xu's back...... In the final analysis, following Cai Bo's master and apprentice, Lu Fengxian has nothing to do with rude and rude in his life.

Back in front of him, the next morning, as Jia Xu expected, as Dong Zhuo's own brother and the actual head of Guanzhong's defense, General Zuo Dong Min was still extremely worried about the Pujin battle situation after sending Guo Yan to lead the cavalry to take the lead, and he was really worried about Lu Bu, plus Dong Zhuo was in Yiwu, and he didn't have time to report, so after all, he was in a hurry, agreed to Jia Xu's suggestion, summoned Lu Wenhou, and appointed him as the deputy general of the army, and went to Pujin together.

And at noon that day, after Dong Min's department and more than 1,000 henchmen brought by Lu Bu crossed Weishui together, they got the bad news from Guo Yan in front, knowing that Pujin had been lost, so Fu urged the whole army to march quickly, trying to recapture the camp before the Youzhou army failed to cross enough troops!

At the same time, probably because he also understood that the Youzhou army outside Tongguan would definitely turn to Pujin as a breakthrough, Dong Min immediately sent someone to Pegasus to summon him, asking Li Dao, Li Meng, and Hu Zhen to immediately converge in Shaanxi County, enter the pass through Tongguan Avenue, and then participate in the Battle of Pujin!

However, what is interesting is that there is a slight deviation here - the Youzhou military camp outside Tongguan has no intention of moving at all, not only did Xu Rong and others not raise troops to cross the river to Hedong to participate in the Battle of Pujin, but even the plausible white horse flag is still fluttering in the wind under the pass.

"Prince!" After waiting for another day, Xu Rong and Zhang Liao simply came to meet Gongsun Xun who was fishing together in the afternoon. "The news that Pujin has been seized and the emptiness of Shaanxi County should immediately reach the ears of the Hongnong Guanxi Army, and then Li Meng, Hu Zhen, and Li Dao will know that we don't have many soldiers and horses here as long as they test it a little......

"Can't you stop them?" Gongsun Xun disagreed.

"Subordinates can naturally block it, if the prince orders us to delay Hongnong's Kansai army here as much as possible, of course we are willing to do our best." Xu Rong said earnestly. "But the prince's daughter, you really don't have to risk here, you still have to cross the river quickly."

"If you really want to cross the river." Gongsun Xun still didn't care. "Just send me to the other side, there's no need to be in such a hurry."

"But the prince," Zhang Liao also raised his head and admonished. "Now that Pujin has been captured, the passage into the pass has been opened, and the battle is fierce there, if the prince can personally go to supervise the battle, our army will inevitably be greatly boosted, and then the enemy army will be broken, maybe it will be able to take Tongguan from the pass...... Why waste time here? ”

"It's not empty consumption." Gongsun Xun finally sighed. "But what you said also makes sense, that's good, wait another day, if there is no movement before noon tomorrow, I will cross the river alone, go to Pujin through the east of the river, and you will lead troops to Shaanxi County to ambush me, regardless of whether it is Hu Zhen or Li Meng, let them suffer a loss, and be afraid again!"

General Zhang Xu glanced at each other, half helpless, half relieved.

One night was silent, and another day was spent until the morning of May 20, although he and the second general agreed to cross the river in the afternoon, Gongsun Xun still held a fishing rod and prepared to go to the north of the camp to fish...... It's also helpless.

However, he had just come to the old place to put down the maza, and before he could ask Sima Lang and Jia Kui to help put on the earthworm, there was a commotion behind him, and then Xu Rong, who was wearing full armor, hurriedly came to report: "Junhou, Tongguan is here, please surrender!" ”

Gongsun Xun was stunned for a moment, but he got up directly, didn't even bother to pay attention to the fishing rod, and quickly followed Xu Bojin back.

"Is there a fraud?" Jia Kui was the first to throw down the fishing rod and followed behind to ask, but the honest Sima Lang could only pinch the earthworm and follow behind him with the fishing rod.

"There's a!" Gongsun Xun didn't look back. "I have been waiting here for many days, just waiting for this time, let Zhang Liao first lead 2,000 troops into the pass to control the gate, Xu Rong packed up the brigade, and the whole army followed...... The overall situation of Guanzhong will be decided today! ”

Everyone hurriedly gave orders, but Gongsun Xun didn't wait for Xu Rong's brigade at all, he returned to the camp and dressed neatly, after the broken blade of the crane crown and the white horse steel lance, he jumped up directly, led the crowd into the city, and saw Jia Wenhe waiting on the hill!

When the two met the next year, Gongsun Xun turned over and dismounted, and directly held Jia Xu's hand in the closed door, and sighed: "I know that Wenhe will not fail me!" ”

"The prince didn't fail me, how could I fail the prince?" Jia Xu's face remained unchanged and he replied calmly, but the words of the return made Zhang Liao next to him and the generals who followed Gongsun Xun suspicious.

"Wenhe!" Gongsun Xun shook his head slightly, temporarily threw away the topic, and turned to ask each other. "The decisive battle of Pujin, is there anything to teach me?"

"Yes!" Jia Xu replied calmly. "Please ignore Pujin and drive directly into the customs from here to determine the overall situation!"

"To fight Chang'an?" Gongsun Xun couldn't help frowning. "Chang'an is two hundred and forty miles away from here, and the people are mixed, is it feasible?"

"Not feasible." Jia Xu shook his head, but his face remained unchanged. "So I'm not asking the prince to fight Chang'an, but to ask the prince to go to Hewu, which is five hundred miles away!"

Gongsun Xun was puzzled for a while.

"Dong Gong is over there, there are only thousands of defenders!" Jia Xu was not in a hurry and pointed out the key points. "As long as the prince is desperate, before everyone reacts, he makes a long-distance attack and blocks Dong Gong in Yiwu, the overall situation in Guanzhong will be determined, and there will be no possibility of repeatedness...... According to the chess from Liaoxi, the marquis's hometown, this is called a one-step general! ”

Gongsun Xun suddenly realized, but he seemed to be unpredictable in some places.

First of all, it's not Pu Jin and Dong Min, because once Dong Min retreats to chase after him, he will only let Lou Gui and Tian Feng follow in a big way, and in the end, when he blocks Yiwu, it must be Dong Min who will be defeated!

It's not that this long-distance attack is not feasible from a military point of view, because if Jia Xu didn't lie to himself, then just Xu Rong's five thousand cavalry could block Yiwu, and at this point, Jia Xu really didn't need to lie to himself, and even these troops in his hands were not only Xu Rong's five thousand cavalry! In fact, with the surrender of Shaanxi County, he had 7,000 horsemen at this time!

It's not to worry about the back road, because now that Tongguan is in hand, it can in turn block Hongnong's Dong Zhuojun, and even Wuguan can send people to seize it now!

But......

As soon as he thought of this, Gongsun Xun's eyes suddenly met Jia Xu's eyes: "Wenhe, do the hearts of the people in Guanzhong belong to me?" ”

"Why don't you belong to the prince?" Jia Xu replied with Gongsun Xun's gaze. "In the battle of Guanzhong that day, does the prince still think that it was fought in vain? Still thinking it's a waste of time? If it weren't for the battle of Weishui that day, would I have been so happy today? If it weren't for the Battle of Weishui that day, would the defeated army in Shaanxi County be so simply reorganized by the prince? If it weren't for the battle that day, would the soldiers of Tongguan surrender with me so happily today? Prince, there is no cause in the world...... Today's situation is that Dong Gong killed too much and lost the hearts of the people, and it was also the grace and power of the prince that day, and it was a matter of its own! In short, don't hesitate, no one will stop you on the road, and as long as the prince is blocked under the dock, they will only fall to the prince one after another! ”

Gongsun Xun nodded slowly: "In this case, Wenhe, Tongguan will be handed over to you!" ”

Jia Xu leaned over and responded: "It's not just Tongguan, I want to dispatch Li Dao, ask the prince to leave Sima Boda and thousands of foot soldiers, and I will block the martial arts for the prince!" ”

Gongsun Xun finally let go of the other party's hand, but turned over and got on the horse, and then pulled out the broken blade given by the old man in the Tongguan gate, and turned around and shouted: "Pass my military order, the cavalry of the whole army will rush to the west with my banner, and the enemy is only one person, and he is in Yixian!" ”

So far, the people didn't wait directly, so they directly jumped to the west, and Xu Rong, Zhang Liao and others jumped in a panic to follow...... Seven thousand cavalry, passing through the Tong Pass without entering, even went all the way to the west.
