Countless peasants who came to watch were also shocked, not only because of Cao Cao's ruthless methods, but also because of Cao Cao's great changes.

Cao Cao that night was like a rakshasa in hell, and Jia Xu can't forget Cao Cao's terrifying eyes at that time.

Since then, these peasants have been extremely in awe of Cao Cao, but they no longer have the closeness they had at the beginning. And Cao Cao was also implicated in this incident and was sent back to the countryside.

After that, Jia Xu asked Cao Cao if it was worth it. Cao Cao just smiled indifferently and said that food is something to feed people, no matter whether they are honorable or low, have power or no power, or are poor or rich, they all have to eat this kind of thing in order to maintain their lives and have the strength to do things.

Therefore, food is indispensable, must be respected, and is the source of life. He can endure the exploitation of the peasants by those grain officials, and he can endure others secretly laughing at him as a fool and a fool, but he can't stand these beasts trampling on a grain and a half grain!

At that time, Jia Xu seemed to understand whether he understood or not. And when Cao Cao returned, the peasants were in groups, sending each other all the way, and refused to disperse for a long time. Jia Xu also left Luoyang at that time, with a little sigh and doubt.

Thinking back to the beginning, the more Jia Xu thought about Cao Cao's words, the more he felt that there was actually a great truth in these simple words.

He has always believed that Cao Cao, who attaches great importance to food and life, will definitely be able to create a great achievement!

The past is like smoke, and it is fleeting. When Jia Xu came back to his senses, he found that he was already on his way to Xuchang.

The next day, it was still dark. However, Zhang Xiu learned from the scouts last night that Cao Cao had not burned the grain in Xuchang City, and he was overjoyed, so he led his troops to capture Xuchang early.

In the sky, the sun is shining, and the sun is dazzling. Xi Zhicai was still dressed in a loose linen robe, his hair was flying in the wind, looking at the army coming outside the city, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Jia Wenhe, you're here." ”

At the same time, in the army that was heading towards Xuchang City, Jia Xu frowned slightly, and suddenly had a feeling of disgust, although he never believed in intuition, but the so-called careful sailing of the ship of ten thousand years, so he taught people to Zhang Xiu to tell him not to act impatiently, and to look for opportunities.

Zhang Xiu trusted Jia Xu very much, and when he heard about it, he immediately slowed down the speed of the army, and listened to it nearly five or six hundred zhang outside the city, and set up a formation.

Zhang Xiu's expression was shocked, and he immediately galloped towards the city gate, and shouted: "Cao Cao's cunning old fox has gone, why don't you hurry up and follow him back!?" Otherwise, once Chen Liu's case comes, you will become a lonely ghost!! ”

"Hahaha, then I have to thank King Zhang Gun for letting the treasure city of Xuchang out, if Chen stays unprotected, I still have Xuchang to rely on!!" When Xiahou Yuan in the city heard this, he immediately laughed loudly, and his arrogance was very arrogant.

"Xiahou dog thief Hugh wants to be presumptuous, now Xuchang has not many troops, I want to take it back, just like a bag to explore!!" Zhang Xiu's eyes widened, and he immediately shouted loudly.

When Xiahou Yuan heard this, he smiled and said: "My city is indeed empty of troops, but I am afraid that King Zhang Gun will not dare to come to take it!" ”

"You fuck, there is a kind of open the city gate, if Lao Tzu doesn't dare to enter the city, come to take your head of a dog thief, Lao Tzu is raised by a son of a bitch!!" When Zhang Xiu heard this, she couldn't help but be angry, and she was angry for a while, and she didn't cover her mouth.

"Haha!! That's what you said!! Xiahou Yuan was obedient, and his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he saw his prey fall into the trap he had ambushed, and the laughter was as proud as he was.

Zhang Xiu listened to Xiahou Yuan's incomparably loud laughter, his face couldn't help but change, and suddenly he had a hint of foreboding in his heart, as if he wanted to prove that he was right, and immediately shouted and said: "You don't bluff here!" I don't believe it, how dare you!! ”

Suddenly, there was a loud rumbling roar. Zhang Xiu's face changed in shock, and the city gate was really opened.

I saw Xiahou Yuan with a strange smile on his face, and he stretched out his hand unhurriedly and smiled: "Hehe, if you want to dig your own grave, I will not bow to invite you into the urn." King Zhang, please!! Otherwise, you're a son of a bitch!! ”

"You!! Xiahou Miaocai, you wait!! Zhang Xiu gritted his teeth, and was about to rush away, and all the generals behind him did not change color, and they were about to persuade. Zhang Xiu suddenly pulled out his horse, but went to find his think tank, Jia Xu.

Xiahou Yuan saw Zhang Xiu leaving, and his deputy general Le Jin looked at each other, so he also turned around and left, and went to find Xi Zhicai.

Inside the enemy building, Xi Zhicai held a cup of hot tea in his hand, took a sip gently, and when he saw Xiahou Yuan coming, he put down the teacup and said with a smile: "How?" ”

"Now the gates are open. However, there is Jia Xu here, I am afraid that the embroidery will not be tricked. Xiahou Yuan's eyes narrowed, and he replied in a condensed voice.

"It doesn't matter. Now our biggest advantage is that we know Jia Xu's deposit, but the other side doesn't know that I stayed in Xuchang. With a little patience, you can always break the deadlock. Xi Zhicai smiled brightly and said unhurriedly.

"But I'm afraid I won't be able to blind Jia Xu for long." Xiahou Yuan sank and said again.

"If you can't be blinded, you can't be blinded. Don't forget, a king is a king, and a minister is a minister. The person you and I have to deal with, if it's Jia Xu, I'm afraid I don't dare to guarantee that I can keep Xuchang, but if it's this Zhang family... Hehe..."At the end, Xi Zhicai couldn't help but smile even brighter.

At the same time, it was said that Zhang Xiu returned to the army. As soon as Jia Xu saw Zhang Xiu, his face was indifferent, and he opened his mouth and said, "This is a plan." There will be ambushes in the city. ”

"Sure enough!" When Zhang Xiu heard this, she couldn't help but stare at her, and her face couldn't help but show a little aggrieved anger.

At this moment, the enemy soldiers in the city suddenly scolded in unison, saying that Zhang Xiu was a gutless rat, a brute raised by a son of a bitch, and even if he opened the city gate, he would not dare to attack.

When Zhang Xiu heard this, his complexion changed continuously, he gritted his teeth, and as the cry got higher, the more ugly his face became, and he shouted angrily: "Xiahou dog thief is really too deceitful!" ”

As soon as Zhang Xiu's words came out, many soldiers echoed one after another, all of them were full of indignation, and they all had to work hard.

"Lord, the soldier can be killed, I will fight with him!!"

"That's right, if the lord thinks that there is really an ambush inside, I am willing to be a death squad, and the lord will answer it later!!"

"That's right!! Our army has 20,000 people, even if there is an ambush in this city, I'm afraid it's not much, it's really going to fight, who wins and who loses, it's still unknown!! ”

With these few cheers, there was a sudden upsurge. Zhang Xiu's eyes couldn't help but show a little impatient. When Jia Xu saw it, he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, and said, "How many troops there are in the city, our army is still unknown. If there are more than 3,000 people, our army will risk breaking in, and will be ambushed first, and then even if there is an endless stream of reinforcements to respond, I am afraid that even if we win, it will be a crushing defeat, with countless casualties. In this way, if there are other princes plotting against Yingchuan, how can we resist it? The other party was not afraid that our army would know this strategy, and it could even be said that that person had already expected that we would not dare to risk losing both sides and fight with him! ”

As soon as Jia Xu said this, everyone's faces changed. At this time, the louder the scolding, the more angry the generals were, and they came to ask for their lives to fight.

"Wenhe, what should I do now!?" Zhang Xiu's handsome face was distorted to be hideous and gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and asked.

"Calm the anger of the people, slowly withdraw the army, and fight again tomorrow. Because of the momentary anger, and lose the overall situation, it is the work of the horseman. Jia Xu glanced at Zhang Xiu meaningfully. Although Zhang Xiu was not angry, he even blamed Jia Xu for being cautious and calm. After all, Zhang Xiu was young and vigorous, and he had been defeated by Cao Cao before, and he was in a hurry to take revenge and recapture Xuchang. How do you know that this time, the enemy opened the city gate wide, and he was so insulted, but he didn't dare to kill into the city, if this matter spread, I am afraid that he Zhang Xiu will become the laughing stock of the world.

For some people, personal face and prestige are even more important than a qiē. Zhang Xiu didn't come to this point, but he also took his face and prestige very seriously. At least, he didn't know how many times he wanted to lead his troops into the city and fight to the death with the other army.

However, or because of Jia Xu by Zhang Xiu's side, Zhang Xiu didn't seem to dare to mess around, so he finally suppressed his anger, shouted that after withdrawing the army, he pulled out his horse and left, ignoring Jia Xu at all. "Goometer, Goometer. Are you going to use the strategy of inviting the king into the urn, or the strategy of separation? Jia Xu was not surprised by Zhang Xiu's appearance, as if he had expected that Zhang Xiu would be dissatisfied with himself, and now his eyes were focused, and he looked at the top of the city faintly, and said while pondering.

At the same time, Xiahou Yuan couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw Zhang Xiujun withdrawing, and smiled at Le Jin next to him: "Hahaha, I didn't expect the military advisor's strategy to really work, don't you say that this Zhang family child can really bear it, if I change it, I don't know if I can bear it." ”

"The military advisor was extremely resourceful, forcing that embroidery, opening the door and not entering, and had to endure the infamy. When this incident came out, the Zhang family's child would lose face, but if someone mentioned it in the future, he couldn't raise his head. Because of this, he will definitely resent Jia Xu in his heart. In my opinion, this is the real purpose of the military design! Lejin's eyes lit up, and his face was full of excitement and excitement.

As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of laughter suddenly came from behind him.

"Zhang Xiu is young, his mind is not yet mature, and he can get Yingchuan because of Jia Xu. But Zhang Xiu has no ability to control Jia Xu. The monarch is weak and the minister is strong, and the best thing to use at this time is the discord strategy. ”

As soon as these words came out, Xiahou Yuan and Le Jin couldn't help but turn their eyes, and when they saw that it was Xi Zhicai coming, they were all shocked, and they all bowed, admiring how wise Xi Zhi was. Xi Zhicai waved his hand lightly and said: "When it comes to intelligence and strategy, then Jia Wenhe is afraid that he is ten or even a hundred times better than me." ”

When Xiahou Yuan heard this, he couldn't help but be a little disdainful, and said, "That's the case, why is he helpless about the current situation?" ”

"It's not like it's helpless. It was that the other army was angry and easy to be impulsive, but Jia Xu was afraid of fighting to the death with our army, which attracted the rest of the princes to take advantage of the fire to rob and attack Yingchuan. So his priority now is to calm the anger of the people, and then think about what to do. That's what the people who are in control of the big picture should do. Both of you are generals, and in the future, with the continuous expansion of the lord's foundation, there will be an opportunity to lead the three armies, and then you two will also need to learn from this Jia Xu's calmness and prudence, so that you will be able to take charge of your own in the near future!! ”
