Chapter Ninety-Three: Jia Xu's Clever Plan to Settle the World
Yang Feng was defeated like this, and Lu Bu knew that things were out of action, so he also led his troops to retreat.
But if he wants to retreat at this time, is it so easy? The battlefield is a place where he can come and go whenever he wants?
Qin Zhen, Xue Baochai and their soldiers were united, facing Lu Bu's deserters, and they rushed to kill for a while, and Lu Bu was defeated.
The remnants of the defeated army fled back to Anyi, and Qin Zhen surrounded Lu Bu is group before they Chen soldiers were in Anyi.
Qin Zhen sent Zhang Ji to persuade LΓΌ Bu to hand over the emperor.
After all, Zhang Ji and Lu Bu, as well as Yang Feng, have all mixed under Dong Zhuo, and they may have some friendships.
And Anyi, after all, there is an emperor here, if they fight in front of the emperor, it is not good.
If you can move with words, why do you have to use force?
At this time, the two sides played against each other, and many times they were a bit of a Warring States legacy, and they liked to use lobbyists.
But Zhang Ji's lobbying didn't seem to have played a role, and Lu Bu didn't pay much attention to Zhang Ji.
Actually, they didn't have anything to say, Qin Zhen meant, but he just wanted him to surrender, Lu Bu knew.
But if Lu Bu would have surrendered, he would have surrendered a long time ago, so why do you need Zhang Ji to do more? Lu Bu would definitely not surrender to Qin Zhen.
His goals are ambitious.
"What are we going to do?"
Xue Baochai and Jia Tanchun asked Qin Zhen. Are they going to immediately attack Anyi and rob the emperor?
At this time, the emperor is really a strange commodity to live in, and everyone wants to get him. Whoever gets him will get great benefits.
Qin Zhen couldn't make a decision either.
"Wait for one day, we have to give Lu Bu enough time, so that even if Lu Bu still resists stubbornly in the end and does not surrender to us, and we march to Anyi again, others will say that we have nothing to do. It's as if we were aggressive and had other plans. This is to give Lu Bu face, and at the same time to give face to the emperor. β
Qin Zhen said.
He is still a little forced by the situation, and he doesn't want the world to gossip about him.
In the face of the emperor, he turned out to have no respect and rushed to war in front of the emperor, what is this not contempt for the emperor?
And the mood is so urgent, is there some ulterior attempt?
As a courtier, you must be above board, and positive people are like this.
Is this a positive character stupid? No, it is the positive people who must do this, to maintain the justice of their actions.
If you want to be a person like Dong Zhuo, then you can do everything according to your own heart.
However, as a result, some hearts and minds will inevitably be lost.
This is the truth that a gentleman can deceive him. Doesn't the gentleman know that this is his weakness?
Gentlemen know, but they have to do it for the sake of a bigger goal.
Anyone, what kind of person he chooses to be, what kind of path he takes, there are advantages and disadvantages. It's up to you to weigh it.
There is no reason to let the whole world take advantage of it.
As a last resort, Qin Zhen didn't want to be too strong and impatient. Now that he has all the advantages, why should he leave a handle for others?
"Lu Bu's people, should we put it back?"
Xue Baochai asked again.
Qin Zhen said: "If you kill them, you can't let them go back." Let's wait here for a few days, and if Lu Bu hasn't surrendered yet, we'll attack the city. β
Anyi City is just a small mound, it can't be regarded as a city at all, Lu Bu has no danger to defend, and surrender is their way out sooner or later.
On Lu Bu's side, Lu Bu was discussing with Jia Xu.
"Mr. said that Qin Zhen can be captured in a battle, and there seems to be a little wrong in this matter now!"
Lu Bu said to Jia Xu.
LΓΌ Bu protected the emperor, and after retreating to Anyi, Zhang Yang, the Taishou of Hanoi, led his troops to surrender. Yang Feng led some of his remnants of the defeated army and also came to join them.
This time, Lu Bu's troops were prosperous, and he had the confidence to go against Chang'an.
However, the current situation is very different from when he originally imagined it. Qin Zhen, a character who appeared out of nowhere, they thought that Qin Zhen would not transfer troops to fight.
However, unexpectedly, they wanted to set up troops to fight Qin Zhen in an ambush this time, but they did not succeed, but were captured by Qin Zhen Han Xian.
It's really a loss of soldiers, nothing is fished, and there is a lot of trouble.
All of this was not mentioned in Jia Xu's previous discussions! Jia Xu's assumption has a big omission.
At this time, Lu Bu lost his trust in Jia Xu a little.
Jia Xu said: "The prince should be anxious. Victory or defeat on the battlefield is only a matter of a moment, these are ordinary things. Although the prince lost this battle, it is still too early to judge the final victory or defeat. β
Lu Budao: "Does Sir have any other plans?"
Jia Xu said: "Attacking head-on, we are in a weak position, which is not good for us. Well, we should get around that. β
"I heard that Zhen Guogong is now holding the arrow of Fu Guiren. And Fu Guiren was particularly concerned about the emperor's safety. Now as long as we send someone to ambush the nobles and ask Qin Zhen to withdraw his troops, Qin Zhen's division is unknown, and he will definitely withdraw his troops. β
"When the time comes, their soldiers will be so discouraged that they don't need us to attack, and their morale will be lost. Then, we can control the court. The emperor and the nobles will all listen to the words of the prince. β
"Qin Zhenjing has greatly reduced his prestige. And he is in the court, and his foundation is still shallow. With no more prestige, what else can he do? When the time comes, won't the prince and the prince take over the power of the court? β
"Why should the prince be discouraged?"
He said this as if it were the same thing. When Lu Bu heard this, his heart turned around, and a hint of joy appeared on his face.
"But Qin Zhen may not allow us to have so much time to arrange. If he comes against us soon, we will not be able to resist it. At that time, Chang'an saw that we were weak, how could they negotiate with us? Fu Guiren directly believed that Qin Zhen was it, and we had no chance at all. β
Jia Xu's plan was to make Fu Guiren distrust Qin Zhen's actions, and then he turned to compromise with Lu Bu.
But if Qin Zhen is advancing in Anyi and Lu Bu is losing and retreating, then is there still a need for Fu Guiren to compromise with Lu Bu?
Jia Xu said: "Drag Qin Zhen, I can do it." Speaking of Chang'an, you can send Yang Xiu, the son of Yang Biao, to go. Although Yang Biao's father and son are not necessarily willing to use us. But now that Yang Biao is in our hands, Yang Xiu has arrived in Chang'an, and he has to do his best for us. It can be done. β
When Lu Bu heard Jia Xu arrange it like this, he was overjoyed and said, "Mr. is clever in his strategy, and he is really an immortal!"
Qin Zhen's side, after waiting for a day, there was no movement in Anyi City at all. And they've been shouting at the city. But the city never agreed.
