Chapter 187: Jia Xu confesses the Lord
An hour later, these Xiliang cavalrymen were sleepy and tired, and the cavalry of the Central Army behind them did not seem to catch up, so they strongly asked to stop and take a breath, Niu Fu knew that his subordinates were all arrogant soldiers, and if he disobeyed their will, he was afraid that he would immediately provoke a mutiny, so he had to agree.

Niu Fu turned his head to look at the place where they stopped their horses to rest, which was the only way from Hanoi City to Keiguan, and was in the ditch between two mountains and a ditch, so he laughed and said: "Jin Liang is still too young and inexperienced, if he ambushes elite soldiers on both sides, how can we have our lives?" ”
Jia Xu said sadly: "General, don't you think it's too quiet in this valley? ”
Niu Fu heard Jia Xu say this, listened to it with his ears, and sure enough, except for the neighing of Xiliang horses and the hustle and bustle of Xiliang soldiers, there were no birdsong, no insects in the entire valley, and there was dead silence.
Niu Fu shouted bitterly: "It's not good, there is an ambush!" ”
As soon as Niu Fu's words fell, he saw thousands of crossbowmen of the Central Army emerging on the slopes on both sides, all wearing grass rings on their heads, painted with grass on their bodies, lying on the bushes and not being able to see it at all, and Niu Fu's more than 2,000 Xiliang soldiers were fleeing in embarrassment, and they had no consciousness to send scouts to explore the way, so they were successfully ambushed by the Central Army.
The crossbowmen of the Central Army rained down like arrows, the two thousand Xiliang soldiers were all cavalry, and the high-headed horses suddenly became a live target that could be shot without aiming, either the people died or the horses died, accompanied by the screams of the people and the neighing of the horses, the two thousand Xiliang soldiers were left with more than 1,000 after a rain of arrows.
Niu Fu took the lead and rushed forward, hoping to pass this death ambush circle, but heard a loud bang in the valley in front of him, blocking the way from a large rock rolling down the mountain. Niu Fu had to turn his horse around. Hope escaped the way he came.
Ushisuke saw in despair. When he came, a blood-colored flag had been fluttering on the road, which said "Zhengnan General Jin" written on it, under the banner riding a dragon horse Chitu carrying a stone dragon knife is Zhengnan General Jin Liang Jin Xianting, beside him, straddling a horse and carrying a mountain axe is Jin Liang's Zhiyong Shuangquan generals Xu Huang Xu Gongming.
Behind Jin Liang and Xu Huang were more than 10,000 elite cavalrymen of the Central Army, blocking the escape route of Niu Fu's more than 1,000 cavalry.
After Jin Liang appeared, Zhang Jaw on the mountain ordered his subordinate crossbowmen to stop shooting and open their bows and arrows. Aiming at Niu Fu and the others, if they have something that dissatisfies the lord Jin Liang, these arrows will still fall on them.
Jin Liang raised the stone dragon knife, pointed at Niu Fu, and laughed: "You are at the end of your rope, why don't you hurry up and get off the horse and be captured?" ”
Niu Fu's face was as white as earth, and he asked in a trembling voice, "If I disarm, can you spare my life?" ”
Jin Liang laughed loudly and said, "Niu Fu, have you ever seen Dong Min and Dong Huang recently?" ”
Niu Fuden understood what Jin Liang meant. Dare to love him for wanting to blackmail his father-in-law again, he quickly shook his head and said, "General Jin." I'm just a son-in-law, not compared to Dong Min and Dong Huang, but my father-in-law's flesh and blood, and the general wants to trade me with my father-in-law, I'm afraid I will be disappointed! ”
When Jin Liang heard Niu Fu say this, he also wondered in his heart, would Dong Zhuo send war horses and military rations to him for his stupid son-in-law? If Dong Zhuo didn't do this business, he wouldn't have to keep Niu Fu as a waste, and his eyes couldn't help but be murderous.
Jia Xu was beside Niu Fu, keenly saw the change in Jin Liang's eyes, and hurriedly shouted: "General Jin, Niu Fu can't be killed!" ”
Jin Liang squinted his eyes and looked at Jia Xu, with a more murderous aura in his eyes: "Jia Wenhe, I'll give you a chance, if you don't make sense, not only will Niu Fu die, but you will also be unable to live!" ”
Jia Xu was not taken by Jin Liang's murderous aura, his expression was not the slightest fear, and he arched his hand and said: "This matter is a matter of military secrets, and it should not be said in public. ”
Jin Liang smiled coldly: "You took the initiative to tell me, not that I took the initiative to listen, why did you want me to ride my horse closer, did you want to trap me?" I'm afraid it's your wishful thinking! ”
Jia Xu had no such intention, he was misunderstood by Jin Liang, for fear of provoking Jin Liang's anger and his own life could not be saved, at this time his expression flashed a little flustered, and he bowed down and said: "The general misunderstood, and he didn't have this intention." ”
Jin Liang smiled: "You don't need me to come close, you can also tell me the secret when you get close." Seeing that Jia Xu was a little hesitant, Jin Liangyi waved his hand: "Evil, capture him!" ”
Dian Wei flashed out from behind Jin Liang, instigated the blue-maned horse under his crotch, waved a pair of big iron halberds in his hand, and the flying horse rushed to Jia Xu.
Niu Fu saw that the cold and shining arrows of the thousands of crossbowmen under Zhang Jaw were aimed at him, and he was afraid of Dian Wei's might, so he didn't dare to move, but Jia Xu couldn't react at all, so he was pressed by Dian Wei's halberd on his neck, forcing Jia Xu to ride his horse and walk in front of Jin Liang.
Jin Liang snorted coldly: "Evil, there is no need to be so polite!" ”
Dian Wei understood what Jin Liang meant, put a halberd in the saddle, stretched out his hand to lift Jia Xu from Jia Xu's horse, like carrying a child, placed it in front of his horse, and then rode back to his own formation, plopped, and threw Jia Xu in front of the red rabbit horse.
Jia Xu was smashed, and the Venus in front of him was all over the place, and before he could get up, Dian Wei jumped up from the green-maned horse, lifted Jia Xu's neck, forced him to stand firm, and forced him to bow down to Lu Bu.
Jin Liang saw Dian Wei abusing Jia Xu, his heart was extremely happy, Dian Wei treated Jia Xu like this, if he let Dian Wei know that he was in history because of this Jia Xu's strategy to Zhang Xiujin that he let himself die so aggrieved and so miserable, he didn't pick up Jia Xu's skin and cramps.
Jin Liang held the stone dragon knife, rested on Jia Xu's neck, and sneered: "Jia Xu, do you think that the world belongs to you as the smartest, and everyone in the world is in your calculations, in this troubled world, you can save your life the most?" Do the math, can you still save your life now? ”Jia Xu raised his head, his eyes regained composure, and he looked at Jin Liang without the slightest cowardice: "I can save my life!" ”
Jin Liang was surprised: "You think I won't dare to kill you?" ”
Jia Xu smiled and said, "It's not that the general doesn't dare to kill me, but he doesn't want to kill me!" ”
Jin Liang Senran smiled: "I don't want to kill you?" You Sven scum who aids in the abuse and fears that the world will not be chaotic should have died a long time ago! ”
Jia Xu smiled: "I'm afraid the world won't be chaotic?" Does the general really want the world to be peaceful now? If the world is peaceful, how can you show the ability of the general! ”
"Jia Wenhe. You underestimate me Jin Liang too much. If the world can really be peaceful, it will be peaceful immediately. The people can live and work in peace and contentment immediately, I am willing to return to my hometown in Jiuyuan immediately to herd cattle and horses for a living," Jin Liang sighed and said: "How can this world become more and more peaceful day by day, if there is no Jin Liang, I don't know how many people in this world are called lonely and widowed, I don't know how many people poison the souls, I don't know how many people's wives and wives are scattered and their families are ruined, it's not that I Jin Liang doesn't want peace." But the peace of the Han world is not something that can be obtained with empty mouths and white teeth, but can only be obtained by means of iron and blood. ”
"This is the reason why the iron-blooded Han is the only one in the Central Army?!" Jia Xu asked.
"Yes, my great man is like that phoenix, it is impossible to be reborn without going through the reverse rock!" Jin Liang said unusually firmly.
Jin Liang suddenly realized that he was questioning Jia Xu, how could he turn it into him asking himself, so he pretended to be serious: "To get back to the point, why do you say I don't want to kill you?" ”
Jia Xu smiled: "The murderous aura in the general's eyes is just a deterrent. But there is no murderous intention, but it reveals the desire to seek talents. The poem made by the general a few days ago, "The mountains are not tired of being high, the water is not tired of being deep, Zhou Gong is spitting breasts, and the world is returning to the heart", Jia Xu recited from time to time, and when he saw the general's eyes today, he could see Jia Xu in the eyes of the general, hehe, he is a rare talent! Jia Xu dared to conclude that the general was willing to use me, not to kill me! ”
Jin Liang laughed and said: "Wenhe, I finally understand why you are named Xu, Xu, Dayan, you are really a person who is not ashamed of your words!" ”
"General, do you really think that I, Jia Xu, am a vain and incompetent person?" Jia Xu smiled and said: "General, don't bully me Jia Xu again, don't deliberately humiliate me Jia Xu again, so that I can give in." To tell the truth with the general, if you can let me Jia Xu show my talents, I don't need the general to do all kinds of tricks, I Jia Xu will do my best, if you can't let me Jia Xu display his talents, although the general has tried all means, I Jia Xu will not make a plan for the general! ”
"I don't understand, with your ability, why do you succumb to Niu Fu?" Jin Liang has never understood why Jia Xu has been in the company of those unsuccessful Xiliang martial artists in the first half of his life.
"The general doesn't know, I am a native of Wuwei in Liangzhou, and I was born in a poor family, although I am filial piety, but I have no family appreciation, and I am forced to rely on Dong Zhuo for a living. The reason why I am under the account of Niu Fu is that I don't hide it, purely because Niu Fu is vulgar and uneducated, has no resourcefulness, and obeys my words, and my talent can be displayed to the fullest! Jia Xu had already made a decision in his heart, so he told it without concealment.
Jin Liang glanced at Niu Fu, who was as fat as Dong Zhuo, and sneered: "Follow a pig, and that pig will obey you, what can you do?" Niu Fu can't even win against Mrs. Guo's white wave thief! ”
Jia Xu fought a cold war, he finally understood why he had been silent all along, it turned out that he had followed the wrong master, and couldn't help sighing: "The general's words woke up the dreamer, I, Jia Xu, often boasted that there are few wise people like me in the world, but I didn't think about it, but I couldn't even do the most fundamental choice!" ”
Jin Liang put away the stone dragon knife and patted Jia Xu's shoulder: "Wenhe, as the saying goes, a rising tide lifts a boat, if the water you choose is very shallow, even if he only carries you as a boat, it will make no sense." Wenhe, listen to my advice, in the future, don't blindly emphasize whether your talents can be used to the fullest, but see whether the lord can give full play to everyone's talents, only when the water rises, can your boat sail to the fullest. ”
Jia Xu listened to Jin Liang's words, was stunned for a long time, and after coming to his senses, he leaned down and bowed: "Jia Xu bows to the lord!" ”
Jin Liang didn't expect Jia Xu to be able to worship himself as his lord so quickly, and he was quite surprised: "Wenhe, aren't you afraid of regret?" "Jia Xu has followed Niu Fu, Li Wei, Duan Xuan, Zhang Xiu, and Cao Cao in the guys, and he is also a good person who can change jobs among the strategists, Jin Liang really can't grasp his pulse, in case he changes jobs again that day, he won't be a cup.
"Lord, please rest assured, throughout your life, you will live up to Jia Xu, Jia Xu will live up to you!" Jia Xu said unusually firmly.
"Wenhe, in my heart, you are my Chen Ping!" For people like Jia Xu, Jin Liang is not good at using Xiao He and Zhang Liang as a metaphor, so he has to compare Chen Ping, who is not so perfect but is second only to the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty, I really don't know how Jin Liang will fulfill this metaphor, because he has also said similar things to Guo Jia.
"Jia Xu is valued by the lord, although he is full of liver and brain, he will not give up!" Jia Xu has been through more than 40 cold and summer months. In addition to Yan Zhong, a famous man in Liangzhou, who said that he had the talent of Zhang Liang and Chen Ping. He rarely heard any other compliments. Those hometown people always say that he likes to talk big, so he hatefully changed his name to Xu, in Dong Zhuojun, his resourcefulness is just a tool for him to struggle on the survival line, in case he can't come up with a good plan that day, he will be slaughtered by that group of martial artists like a cow and sheep, like Jin Liang, he has never received such a grace. Especially when he saw the first meeting, Jin Liang couldn't hide the appreciation in his eyes, which had never happened in Jia Xu's life.
"Wenhe, get up and tell me, why can't Niu Fu be killed?" Jin Liang hid his excitement about recruiting Guo Jia and Jia Xu under his command, and remembered the original reason why Jia Xu came over.
Jia Xu said eloquently: "My lord, Niu Fu is the nephew of the famous general Duan Ying who is guarding the pass in Jiguan, and the nephew of the general Duan Xuan under Dong Zhuo, Duan Yi, who is similar to his uncle. Bad at attacking but good at defending, although there are only 2,000 men. But holding the Kei Pass, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, can also be held steadily.
Nearly 100,000 soldiers under the command of the general could not be deployed under the Kei Pass, and could only use the tactics of adding fuel to slowly consume the strength of the city.
Leaving Niu Fu's life, you can take Keiguan so lightly. ”
After listening to Jia Xu, Jin Liang was convinced: "Wenhe's plan is really a wonderful plan, so I will act according to it." ”
Jin Liang promised to spare Niu Fu's life, Niu Fu was grateful to Dade, and when he knew that Jin Liang wanted to blackmail him to cheat him, he insisted on refusing.
When Jin Liang's cold Fang Tianhua halberd rested on his neck, Niu Fu gave in.
Jin Liang ordered Xu Huang and Hao Zhao to lead two thousand elite cavalry, all of which pretended to be fleeing Xiliang cavalry, and the two wanted to carry Niu Fu but pretended to be protective.
Jin Liang personally led 10,000 elite cavalry of the Central Army, pretending to be in hot pursuit.
Zhang Jaw stayed behind to clean up the battlefield, reorganize the prisoners, and at the same time guard the main roads everywhere to prevent anyone from rushing to Keiguan to ventilate and report the news.
When he arrived outside Jiguan, Niu Fu felt the cold daggers of Xu Huang and Hao Zhao resting on his waist, and he had no choice but to shout in a trembling voice: "Duan Yan, open the door, open the door quickly!" ”
Duan Yi ordered the soldiers at the city gate to let go of the city gate, open the drawbridge, and let Li Su's men and horses out of the city.
Li Su put on a silver helmet, put on a white robe of silver chain mail, carried a hook gun, took the lead, and rushed to Niu Fu's side: "General Niu, I, Li Su, have come to the rescue!" ”
Niu Fu waved the big knife, tired of dealing with Wei Yue, while glaring at the bull's eyes and snorting coldly: "My Niu Fu is cheap, I don't need you to save a dignified tiger Ben Zhonglang in the future!" ”
Although Li Su came to the front, Niu Fu still didn't dare to tell Li Su the true situation, because he knew that if Dian Wei and Wei Yue in front of him wanted to solve him, they would not be like this now, and they would definitely hack themselves to death within three or five rounds. You might as well believe Jin Liang's words for the time being, and help Jin Liang take Jiguan first, and Jin Liang promised to keep the secret of Jiguan being scammed.
Li Su said loudly: "General Niu, why do you say such angry words, it is important to kill the enemy now!" ”
Dian Wei and Wei Yue glanced at each other, their movements were much slower, and they were quickly repelled by Li Su and Niu Fu.
Li Su saw that the enemy general who was tightly entangled with Niu Fu was retreating, and hurriedly led Niu Fu to retreat to the city gate, and Dian Wei and Wei Yue followed closely behind.
Xu Huang and Hao Zhao hurriedly led people to blend in with the reinforcements brought by Li Su, and when they passed the city gate when they retreated, Li Su raised his head and shouted: "Duan Duwei, quickly pull up the suspension bridge, close the city gate, and block Jin Liang's pursuers!" ”
Duan Yu hurriedly ordered someone to pull up the drawbridge and close the city gate, but saw that Jin Liang had already flown onto the drawbridge, the stone dragon knife flew away, and the suspension bridge cable as thick as a human arm was cut by the barb of the stone dragon knife, and the suspension bridge clanged with a loud bang, and it was laid across the moat, not moving at all.
The guards on the city were stunned, the cable was a good thick hemp rope wrapped in iron wire, soaked in tung oil for half a year, the strength was very high, impact resistance, wear resistance, mildew resistance, insect resistance, it was simply a knife cut constantly, the axe chisel was impenetrable, and the suspension bridge of more than 1,000 catties was supported for many years, no one expected, but overnight, it was gently swept by Jin Liang's stone dragon knife, broken into two ends, and more than 20 soldiers who pulled the cable in vain to pull up the suspension bridge in the city gate suddenly lightened in their hands, Tengteng retreated dozens of steps, sat down together, and their faces were like earth.
The guards were so stunned that they forgot to shoot arrows downwards and shoot back Jin Liang, who had already come to the front and back of the drawbridge one after another, pulled out the iron-tired bow behind them, opened the bow and shot arrows, and shot at the head of the city, covering those foot soldiers to follow quickly.
The guards of Jiguan who tried to close the gate in vain were killed one by one by Dian Wei and Wei Yue, who broke into Jiguan first, and the city gate was opened, and the elite soldiers under Jin Liang poured in like a tide. Dian Wei and Wei Yue fought bravely, and their subordinates had almost no enemies, and they kept attacking the city, shouting loudly while attacking: "100,000 elite horsemen under the command of Jin Liang, the general of Zhengnan, are here, and there is a reward for surrendering, disarming and not killing, and those who try to resist are guilty of crime and their families!" ”
The thousands of archers arranged by Duan Yi on the city wall and the commanding heights in the city stretched their bows and arrows, ready to launch below, but Jin Liang's men and horses had already been strangled with Li Su's men and horses, and there were few archers among those archers who could shoot, and they were afraid of accidentally injuring Li Su and his subordinates, and they were afraid of accidentally injuring the son-in-law of Master Dong Zhuo of Xiangguo, so they hesitated and did not dare to release the arrows.
And Xu Huang and Hao Zhao have already led their elite soldiers, climbed the city wall, and climbed other commanding heights, saying that they were ordered by Niu Fu to take over the defense, and ordered them to disarm and put things in order, and if anyone dared to resist, they would be killed on the spot.
