Chapter Thirty-Three: Old Fox Jia

Regarding Gao Ye's opinion, Cao Cao also gladly accepted it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoNow that he is in a good situation, there is no need to take advantage of the ice and snow to attack Wancheng. In the first month of the second year of Jian'an, Cao Cao in history suffered a defeat in Wancheng. If it weren't for the fact that Yuan Shu's brainless brain suddenly became the emperor, he was afraid that the news of Cao Cao's defeat would definitely sweep the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty. After all, as the first battle after welcoming back the Han Emperor, it ended in failure, and Cao Cao's prestige was bound to be greatly reduced. And Cao Cao's defeat this time, in Gao Ye's opinion, the biggest reason is because of arrogance and unpreparedness. However, the cause is easy to find, but it is not easy to solve. Because Cao Cao is now very proud, after all, he has been suppressed by Yuan Shao for so many years, and finally turned over, how could he be unhappy in his heart? And Zhang Xiu is just a nobody now, how can Cao Cao take him seriously?

Therefore, if you want to prevent the fiasco of Wancheng, there are only two ways for Gao Ye to go, the first is to attack Wancheng with Cao Cao, so that even if Cao Cao is ambushed, he can still save it. But the problem is that Gao Ye felt that Cao Cao really sent troops to fight Wancheng, and he would not take him with him. After all, Wancheng Zhang Xiu, Cao Cao didn't pay attention to it at all, so if he wanted to take Wancheng, Cao Cao would either recruit in person, or just send himself alone to lead the troops, in his eyes, this was enough. It's just that this is Cao Jun's first battle after welcoming back the Han Emperor, how could he Cao Cao not go in person, firstly, to show the military might, and secondly, it can also deter the middle of the court. In this way, I can't say that I can only tell Dian Wei and the others who are with Cao Cao. Although Dian Wei is a rough man, his brain is definitely enough, as long as he can be 120,000 points careful, there should be no problem.

And the truth is just as Gao Ye expected. In April of the second year of Jian'an, Cao Cao, who had completed the whole army, personally ordered Xiahoudun to be the vanguard and enter Wancheng. Yu Ban is the rear army, and he is also responsible for supervising the transportation of grain, grass and ordnance, and he is personally leading the Chinese army, and the army immediately marched to Wancheng. And Gao Ye stayed behind to guard Yingyin, guarding against Lu Bu in the east and Yuan Shu in the south. Fortunately, what made Gao Ye happy was that Guo Jia and Xun You accompanied him, so as long as he reminded Guo Jia and paid more attention to Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu, there would be no mistakes in the future.

"Big brother, how powerful is that Jia Xu you are talking about?" Guo Jia asked curiously, after all, he had never seen Gao Ye respect someone so much. Even if it is Xun Yu, Gao Ye is just a compliment, and Jia Xu may be more appropriate to describe it with praise, which also aroused Guo Jia's curiosity.

Gao Ye smiled lightly and said: "Feng Xiao, don't underestimate this guy, if you want me to say, this person uses the poison of his tricks and is accurate in his calculations, which is rare in the world." Even if it's Fengxiao, it's not necessarily better than him......" As he spoke, Gao Ye carefully told Guo Jia about Jia Xu's past experience. especially the past when he was a teenager who escaped from the hands of the Di people in the name of Duan Ying; After Dong Zhuo's death, how did Jia Xu persuade Li Dao and Guo Yan to counterattack Chang'an; and how Liu Xie escaped from Li and Guo to Luoyang, and told Guo Jia carefully. After all, Gao Ye is from the afterlife, and he is familiar with these things. After all, the information in this era is not smooth, even if Guo Jia has the spy department in his hands, how can he have such a detailed knowledge of Gao Ye.

After Guo Jia listened to Gao Ye's narration, he laughed and said: "Such a character, if you can compete, it will be a happy thing in your life!" ”

"Don't underestimate you. This Javin and ......"

"Okay, big brother, I already know. Don't worry, this Jia Wenhe, I'll be careful. But big brother, I've never seen you so worried. ”

"Well, if it were the old days, it wouldn't have hurt. Fengxiao, have you found out, the lord is quite complacent now, I am worried that he is unprepared and falls for Jia Wenhe's strategy. In particular, the strategy of deception is used to deal with the current lord, but it is accurate to try one by one. Besides, when Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, this Jia Wenhe was a scribe under Niu Fu, I don't know how well he knew the lord, anyway, I knew that the lord didn't know anything about him. This Jia Xu has always been yin and ruthless, how can I not be worried? ”

"Okay, big brother, you put your heart in your stomach. Take a good look at the movements of Xuzhou and Huainan. As for Jia Wenhe, with me Guo Fengxiao here, I don't believe he can make any waves. ”

Seeing Guo Jia's confident appearance, Gao Ye didn't say anything more. The drum doesn't need a heavy hammer, as long as Guo Jia starts to pay attention to Jia Xu and beware of him, no matter how powerful Jia Xu is, there is no way to almost kill Cao Cao like in history. Anyway, Cao Cao in history, although he lost Dian Wei and his eldest son Cao Ang in this battle, fortunately, his life was worry-free. I reminded Guo Jia this time, just to prevent Cao Cao from experiencing the defeat of Wancheng again, and also for Dian Wei, Cao Ang, and even the pimped Cao Anmin, not to withdraw from the stage of competing for hegemony so early. But in the end, he is not in Wancheng, and such a thing can only be done to the best and obey the destiny of heaven.

In Wancheng, Zhang Xiu heard that Cao Cao had raised an army of 150,000 and came to attack, and his heart was already panicked. Although he is brave, but in Wancheng, there are only 50,000 soldiers and horses, so whether to fight or surrender has become a big problem. Therefore, Zhang Xiu, who hurriedly recruited Jia Xu, asked Jia Xu what to do now as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Now, does the lord want to fight, or do you want to surrender?"

"Wenhe, Cao's army is strong, if you fight, I'm afraid it's not an opponent. But if you come down ......," Zhang Xiu groaned, "You also know that I served under Dong Zhuo with my uncle Zhang Ji at the beginning. Later, Li and Guo came to power, and I helped them a lot. Your Majesty fled eastward, and I led my troops in pursuit. I'm only afraid that if I surrender, even if Cao Cao can tolerate me, the Chinese military force will not tolerate me. Now that I think about it, it is better to surrender Liu Biao......"

When Jia Xu heard this, he smiled: "Surrender Liu Biao, absolutely not!" ”

"But why?"

"Didn't the lord forget that General Zhang Ji died at the hands of Liu Biao? General Zhang Ji has a lot of prestige in the army, and if the lord surrenders Liu Biao, the army's morale will be discouraged immediately. Moreover, since the death of General Zhang Ji, the lord has led his men and horses to occupy Wancheng. The reason why Liu Biao let the lord divide the territory was also to let the lord block Cao Cao's soldiers and horses for him. If the lord abandons Wancheng and surrenders to Liu Biao, does the lord think that Liu Biao can really accept the lord? When the time comes, people will be swordsmen, I will be fish and meat, 50,000 troops will be divided and absorbed by him, the lord has no soldiers and no power, and he is not at the mercy of others in Jingzhou! Therefore, it is not possible to surrender Liu Biao. ”

"So what?" Zhang Xiu asked eagerly.

"Test Cao Cao." Jia Xu smiled lightly, "That Cao Cao now supports the Han Emperor, has the name of righteousness, and now he has sent 150,000 troops to come to conquer." If it is a battle, the lord also knows that it is difficult to win, so he will surrender to it, why not? Moreover, this battle was Cao Cao's first battle since he became a commonplace, and the meaning of prestige was even greater than victory or defeat. If the lord took the initiative to surrender, Cao Cao would surely gladly accept it. ”

"But I'm worried about the ...... of the ministers in the court."

"Don't worry about that." Jia Xu chuckled and said, "Then Cao Cao is now the time to seek talent, if it is not good for the lord, it is self-defeating." According to Cao Cao's wisdom, he will not do it. If the lord is worried, he wishes to be a messenger and go to Cao Ying to ask for surrender. At that time, he will seek the position of Wancheng Taishou for the lord, and he will be safe. If Cao Cao truly accepts the lord, he will not be stingy with the Taishou of Wancheng. If Cao Cao intends to be unfavorable to the lord, we can also lure him into the city first, and then plot against him. Hehe......" Jia Xu's sneering smile really made Zhang Xiu shudder. I don't know why, anyway, I know that as long as I see Jia Xu's expression, someone must be unlucky. Fortunately, Jia Xu has received great favor from his uncle, otherwise, I would have to weigh Jia Xu's plan carefully.

"In that case, please make peace."

"Don't worry, my lord."

Under Jia Xu's persuasion, Zhang Xiu was the same as history, and when Cao Cao had just stationed troops in Shuishui, he asked Jia Xu to go to Cao Ying to present a letter of surrender for him. As soon as Jia Xu entered the camp, even Cao Cao felt surprised. He had just stationed troops here, and Zhang Xiu sent a messenger to come, and he didn't know what it meant, could it be that he wanted to surrender? However, since the other party sent a messenger to come, it was not good for him not to see him, so he asked Dian Wei to bring Jia Xu into the big tent, and he was with Guo Jia and Xun You, ready to listen to what he wanted to say.

As soon as Jia Xu entered the big tent, he immediately bowed down and said, "Wuwei Jia Xu, I have seen Lord Sikong." ”

As soon as Jia Xu's words were spoken, Guo Jia, who was lazy on the side, instantly came to his senses, and a pair of eyes looked Jia Xu up and down. Speaking of which, this guy's figure is a bit blessed, and the most important thing is that he has a harmless face. In Guo Jia's opinion, if it weren't for Gao Ye's reminder, he would never have taken a second look. But now that he has been praised by his eldest brother and has learned about this person's past, how can he not be careless now that he has arrived as a messenger?

Cao Cao obviously didn't care much about Jia Xu, but he was very casual and asked about Jia Xu's intentions.

Jia Xu smiled slightly: "When His Majesty Xiang Sun was in Chang'an, my lord had the heart to get rid of thieves and keep the saint safe. It's a pity that at that time, my family was soft-spoken, and it was difficult to do anything. Now that he is lucky, occupying Wancheng, although Yuan Shao and Liu Biao are recruiting each other, they are unmoved. Those who do it are all to serve His Majesty, but they have no way to see it, so they are in Wancheng. Now that Sikong is here, my lord is naturally overjoyed, so he specially ordered to come and ask to see Sikong to express his gratitude. My lord said: 'If he can be taken in by Sikong and serve the court, he will be grateful to Sikong in his heart.' Willing to defend Wancheng for Sikong to block Liu Biao in Jingzhou. ’”

When Cao Cao heard that Yuan Shao had also come to recruit Zhang Xiu, he couldn't help but be surprised. After all, Wancheng is located in the southwest of Yanzhou, if Zhang Xiu votes for Yuan Shao, he is afraid that his situation is critical. Then he heard Zhang Xiu's words of intent to take refuge in himself, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed. Doesn't it just want to defend Wancheng and have reservations, now that Zhang Xiu doesn't make trouble, it is enough to help him resist the attack of Liu Biao who may come. is just a Wancheng, what is there to give up?

However, when Guo Jia heard this, his two eyes instantly stared at Jia Xu, this old fox really has some ability!
