Chapter 131: Jia Xu's Strategy

"Brother Bai Qi, the left leader, send it slowly, please go back!"

At the foot of Tianwangzhai Mountain, Chen Nuo took Zhang Sheng, Gao Shun and others to Zhang Baiqi and Zuo Xiao.

Just a few days ago, Chen Nuo and Zhang Sheng went to Tianwangzhai to rescue Zhang Baiqi, and used the Black Armor Army to curb the momentum of Hu Chi'er's troops in Xiliang, which turned defeat into victory and defeated Hu Chi'er. Although Hu Chi'er was defeated, the matter of Tianwangzhai could not be solved in a day or two. First of all, the traitor king has lost the news, and he doesn't know where he ran away, and he needs to send someone to investigate. And although Wang Gu is gone, there are still a lot of Wang Gu's henchmen left in Tianwang Village, which need to be dealt with. In addition, after the previous war, many corpses were left to be buried, and people's hearts needed to be appeased. Of course, the big leader of Tianwangzhai is dead, and the position of the big boss is still vacant, and when this people's hearts are not at peace, there is an urgent need for someone to come out and take the lead. As the 'uncrowned king', Zhang Baiqi was of course born at the right time under this circumstance, and was unanimously elected as the 'big leader' and ascended to the throne of the lord of the Heavenly King Village. As a result, the succession ceremony that Wang Gu had prepared for himself for the time he had spent was cheaper than Zhang Baiqi, and the guests were all ready-made, so he didn't need to invite them. Chen Nuo was naturally among the guests, so he was left to 'watch the ceremony', and was delayed for a few days before he resigned from Tianwangzhai.

Of course, when it comes to 'watching the ceremony', if Zhang Baiqi is the direct beneficiary, Chen Nuo is the biggest winner among them.

You must know that when Lei Gong passed the Black Mountain Order that night, if it weren't for Chen Nuo who came forward to fight Lei Gong in person, defeated Lei Gong, and made a head start for the heroes in Guanzhong, the other family members didn't know what to be forced to be. If the situation is better, he may be forced to take the Montenegrin order, and then condescend to Montenegro and become the Montenegrin branch; And the worst, the first two are a good example, not only are they dead, but the people in the village may also be divided among other families by Montenegro from now on. It is precisely because of Chen Nuo's emergence that he destroyed the ambitions of Montenegro and saved the face of the various families in Guanzhong, Chen Nuo is like a 'benefactor' to them, and because he not only led the Black Armor Army to repel Xiliang, but also took the Black Armor Army into his own possession, such a thing is really impressive, and it is no wonder that Chen Nuo's image in their minds has suddenly become taller. So on the 'viewing ceremony', all the families and horses were constantly toasting to Chen Nuo, and they all euphemistically said that in the future, they would be driven to obey Chen Nuo's orders.

The other families all actively behaved, and Zhang Baiqi was not to be left behind, persuading Chen Nuo to include Tianwangzhai in his sphere of influence. He even suggested that since Montenegro had a Montenegrin order, why not follow suit and unite the green forests in Guanzhong, and let him Chen Nuo unify the order. Chen Nuo heard it at the time, although his heart moved, he did not accept it presumptuously. Although Zhang Baiqi's idea was good, and it was indeed beneficial for him to unify the green forest in Guanzhong, he knew very well that he was not enough to do this now. Although he has a favor to his family, he does not think that this kind of 'kindness' is enough to make the family sincerely convinced, otherwise they can temporarily choose to give in under the coercion of Montenegro, in order to protect themselves. It's just that they didn't do it in the end, it was precisely because of the rebellious nature in their bones that they were more willing to choose a situation of going their own way, which Chen Nuo couldn't force for a while.

The time is not ripe, and Chen Nuo certainly can't take the liberty of doing this.

Although he, the 'alliance leader' of the green forest, did not succeed, but he got the favor of the green forests in Guanzhong, which was enough to become the capital for him to compete for hegemony in Guanzhong in the future. So Chen Nuo excused himself chicly and walked chicly, without the slightest bit of mud and water. This further enhanced the good impression of the green forests in Guanzhong towards Chen Nuo.

Speaking of which, when Zhang Baiqi proposed that he Tianwangzhai take the lead and Chen Nuo ordered the Guanzhong Green Forest, the other families were beating a drum in their hearts. They are reluctant to accept Montenegro, naturally they have their own ideas. Similarly, if Chen Nuo was allowed to be their 'general alliance leader' and a 'Taishang Emperor' was placed on their heads, they would also feel awkward. Although, when Zhang Baiqi proposed it, they still responded one by one, which really contributed to this matter, and they may not come forward to oppose it. It's just that I am afraid that I will underestimate Chen Nuo afterwards, and regard Chen Nuo's previous standing up for their families as driven by interests, and with some kind of impure purpose. Fortunately, Chen Nuo refused on the spot, which made their faces soften, and they were very ashamed of their thoughts, so they unconsciously increased their good impression of Chen Nuo.

This time Chen Nuo went down the mountain, in addition to Zhang Baiqi, Zuo Colonel and other major leaders to send off, the rest of the village owners who were still in Tianwangzhai to 'watch the ceremony' and did not go back, also came out to send Chen Nuo a ride together. Chen Nuo's side naturally parted with the owners of the village, and it took a long time to really get on the road.

Speaking of which, Chen Nuo only had a dozen horsemen when he came, but now with the newly subdued more than 100 black armor troops, the team has suddenly become stronger. Of course, this does not include Zhang Sheng's hundreds of Hutou Zhai people and the eight hundred Green Forest Zhai brothers borrowed by Gao Shun. As a result, these three families together have the appearance of more than 1,000 people, which looks like an expeditionary force. Originally, he only brought so many people to Chang'an in order not to arouse the idea of the Xiliang people, but now because he killed Hu Chi'er and a horse in the battle of Tianwangzhai, he got these armor soldiers from Lei Gong, which is inconspicuous and conspicuous. Now that things have been provoked, it will be a difficult and dangerous road to Chang'an.

However, fortunately, at the moment, Dong Zhuo died, and all the families in Xiliang were uneasy, and there would be fewer obstacles to entering Chang'an at this time. There are one or two ignorant ones, and with this black armor army in their hands, it is enough to save their lives. Speaking of this black-armored army, since Chen Nuo was able to snatch them from Lei Gong, he naturally had a way to command them. Not to mention, this team of people who originally followed Lei Gong to come, after several battles, was deeply convinced by Chen Nuo, and completely obeyed Chen Nuo's orders, Chen Nuo is now very handy in ordering them, as if this team was originally his, and now it is just returned to him by Lei Bus.

It's just that the sad urging is like Lei Gong, who originally came to pass on the Black Mountain Order, but the Black Mountain Order was not passed, and it was almost done by the king. He was able to escape thanks to Chen Nuo's help, so he was quite helpless when Chen Nuo did not return the Black Armor Army at that time, but in the end, he handed over the Black Armor Army to Chen Nuo in a daze. Speaking of which, Lei Gong still regretted it halfway, and wanted to turn back and ask Chen Nuo for it a few times, but in the end, he couldn't save face, so he shook his hand and went back to Montenegro directly to ask Zhang Yan for his guilt. This is not to be mentioned.

It's just that now that there is this group of black-armored soldiers behind Chen Nuo, his heart can't help but stir up, and he has all kinds of ideas. Thinking that Zhang Yan set up a branch in Montenegro, led it by a small marshal, and formed a special pro-guard army, the Black Armor Army, he was a little inspired by him. He still read it all the way, and his personal health department did not have a special name, and the various departments were also very chaotic, and it seemed necessary to rectify it in the future.

It's just that when I think of 'rectification', I can't help but mutter. After all, so far, he has been doing things 'decently' under Yuan Shao's account, and has not made the slightest outrageous move, and even Pan Zhang's proposal to set up a city in the army He didn't dare to act rashly, it was really because of the frustration of the supervising army. I think that as long as this 'prison army' is there, if he wants to make any moves, he will definitely not be able to hide from his eyes. At that time, the matter was not completed, and I was afraid that it would not be good for him to report the situation to Yuan Shao. Thinking that Yuan Shaoqi was originally a suspicious character, how could he be allowed to act arbitrarily, and he would intervene, and he would not be suspicious of him. So in the end, this matter can only be suppressed temporarily, so as to wait for something to be done in the future.

Of course, there was one more person who left Tianwangzhai with Chen Nuo this time, in addition to Gao Shun, Zhu Rong Qingyi, etc. This man is Milley.

After the battle of Tianwangzhai, Chen Nuo never saw Milai again because of the fire in the back mountain, and let people look for it, but there was no trace at all, so he couldn't help but have to worry about it. Speaking of which, although Milley doesn't have much to do with him, after all, people came with him, so it's naturally not good to lose news so suddenly. However, just when Chen Nuo was worried, he didn't want Milai to suddenly come back to see him, and he was unscathed, so Chen Nuo was naturally happy. Mi Lai was also silent about the aftermath, and Chen Nuo didn't ask much. This time I went down the mountain, and I also brought it down.

Chen Nuo's party left Tianwangzhai and hurried all the way towards Shaanxi County. That Zhang Sheng said goodbye to Chen Nuo halfway and returned to Hutou Village with the remaining brothers, while Gao Shun returned to Lulin Village to return the borrowed 800 men and horses, and went on the road with Chen Nuo and others. This time, Chen Nuo and his party were the Black Armor Army and the dozen or so personal guards he brought, although the group was still a little conspicuous, but because they were all cavalry, they walked much faster.

When Chen Nuo looked at Shaanxi County and rushed over, he said that Hu Chi'er, who was going to Caoyang Pavilion, had also left Li Su, rushed back to Shaanxi County first, and told Niu Fu the news that he had received.

When Niu Fu heard the meaning of the imperial court, he was preparing to dissolve Xiliang on the surface, but in fact, after disbanding Xiliang, he was going to kill him again, his heart was so evil that he was so frightened that he was sweating profusely, and he didn't know why. He didn't see anyone, only Hu Chi'er, and asked someone to see Jia Xu, and the three of them closed the door in the tent to discuss the matter.

After listening to Hu Chi'er's words, Jia Xu just twisted his beard vigorously, his brows knotted slightly, and he was silent for a while, falling into deep thought. Regarding this matter, he and Niu Fu's mood is actually similar, the same heaviness. Although Hu Chi'er only mentioned that Niu Fu would not be spared, it was not difficult to imagine that Niu Fu was not spared, and Xiliang generals like them were afraid that they would not be spared. Now that the meaning of the imperial court has been clarified, he Jia Xu is under the nest, of course, he has to consider his own fate.

In the tent, Niu Fu looked at Jia Xu with a pair of eyes, a little begging, but he didn't see Jia Xu open his mouth for a long time, and he couldn't help but feel anxious: "Mr. Jia, you are talking, what should I do in Xiliang about this matter, you take the idea for me, you usually don't have a lot of ideas!" ”

Hu Chi'er saw that Niu Fu was anxious, and he was also confused, and couldn't help but look at Jia Xu with these eyes.

Jia Xu twisted his beard, glanced up at Niu Fu, and did not speak immediately.

Inside the tent, the atmosphere was much heavier.

It was also when Niu Fu was frantic and ready to speak again, but he saw Na Jia Xu say slowly: "The meaning of the imperial court is all in General Hu's words, but it is just to dismiss my Xiliang people first, and then treat the general and other crimes." Haha, their idea is not bad, as long as they disband the general's people first, the general will be alone, and it will naturally be much easier for them to deal with. However, now that we know the meaning of the imperial court, it is not difficult to deal with it. When Niu Fu heard this, his eyes were together, and he laughed: "I knew that Mr. must have an idea, say it quickly!" ”

Jia Xu twisted his beard and said slowly: "Without him!" Since this matter is going to come sooner or later, we simply spread the word about them before we come. As long as we tell the court the intentions below, and then add fuel to the vinegar, so that everyone below is in danger, they will not let the court do this in order to protect themselves. And as long as the hearts of the people below are gathered and twisted into a rope for our use, are you still afraid that it will not work? ”

When Niu Fu heard this, his eyes rolled and he said, "What does Mr. Jia mean is that we want to resist the imperial decree and disobey it?" But in this way, won't I, Xiliang, really become a thief? ...... then"

Jia Xu smiled: "Since ancient times, it has been a king who has been a king and a loser, and only those who fail are thieves." General, since the imperial court has forced us to this point, do you still want to be arrested? If that's the case, as soon as my Xiliang people are scattered, it will really become a plate of scattered sand, and anyone can easily kill us. And if not, then take the opportunity to gather people, attack Chang'an in the west, kill in the name of avenging Taishi Dong, and call on other Xiliang people, I'm afraid that it won't be possible? ”

"What...... What the? Do you want me to raise an army to attack Chang'an? ”

Niu Fu was so stumbling that he almost planted it. His palms were stained with sweat, and beads of sweat were rolling on his forehead. Speaking of which, he is suspicious and murderous, but he is not an ambitious guy. Even if his father-in-law Dong Zhuo had done this kind of anti-heaven thing, he never dared to think about it. was suddenly mentioned by Jia Xu today, and his heart was beating again and again, and he felt that the flesh on his body was trembling, and he almost didn't mention it in one breath. As soon as he waved his hand, he quickly interrupted Jia Xu's words: "Jia ...... Mr. Jia, you still don't say much, we are discussing how to deal with the will of the imperial court, how to make them take it back, but not to do such a rebellious thing. ”

Jia Xu drew this strategy, but it was after a period of tangled thinking. Of course, when he said it, he actually knew that Niu Fu would most likely oppose it. It's just that, from the current point of view, the biggest force in the Xiliang Army is his gang, and he is still Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, so he will naturally be powerful when he is called, if he can't achieve that effect, he can only choose him.

Jia Xu immediately said: "If the will of the imperial court can be withdrawn, or if it can be discussed a little bit, why should I say such things and take such a big risk?" General, you should have heard that it is Wang Yun who is now in charge of the government in the imperial court. Wang Yun has always harbored evil intentions, and after so many years of low eyes of Dong Taishi, Dong Taishi has not been able to see him, which shows the depth of his thoughts. Think that once a person like him controls the government, how can he let me go of Xiliang and others? And that man's temper is tight, how can he be easy to match? Moreover, Cai Bojiao was a famous man in the world, and because he had received a little favor from Dong Zhuo, he took him to prison and killed him with a sigh. For a childless person like him, do you still expect him to be able to forgive me Xiliang and others? What's more, general, you listened to General Hu's words about Li Su's house, and said that if you spare other Xiliang people, you will never spare you, general, do you think that if you don't kill Chang'an, there are other ways to choose? ”

"This ......"

Niu Fu's heart sank, Jia Xu's words were not unreasonable, he couldn't help but think deeply. It's just that if he is asked to lead people from all walks of life to kill Chang'an, he will ask himself if it is not this material. was so entangled, I couldn't make up my mind, and I had to look at Hu Chi'er with a pair of eyes. Hu Chi'er is his confidant, and he usually looks for him if he has any undecided things, and now that he is in trouble, he will naturally not let him go. It's just that Hu Chi'er's heart can't be calmed down until now.

If he listened to Jia Xu's words, and then blindly followed Niu Fu to kill Chang'an, he didn't dare to imagine such a thing. After all, this is a big deal, and it can't be decided so easily. What's more, if Chang'an was so easy to attack, he would have persuaded Hu Chi'er to take it as Jia Xu said. And once the incident starts and Chang'an is not taken, they will have to be charged with rebellion, and their lives will be at risk at any time. This is a life-threatening matter, how can he make a hasty decision?

He thought left and right, if he didn't do this, he would simply let the court disband, and he would return to his hometown, so it would not be a crime of treason, and maybe he would be able to pick up a small life. But after all, it is still not safe to do this, maybe as Li Su said after being drunk, when he was halfway there, dozens of people from a random county lieutenant would take him down. Hu Chi'er's eyes were rolling from side to side, thinking about some things in his mind quickly, and he didn't notice Niu Fu's gaze at all.

Only he suddenly raised his head and glanced at Niu Fu, and suddenly his eyes lit up, as if he had found hope for life from Niu Fu. It seems that if you want to survive, you have to count on Niu Fu, or rather, on Niu Fu's good head.

He was so concerned in his heart, and when he heard Niu Fu's inquiry, he didn't think twice, picked up the idea for Niu Fu, and said: "Actually, Mr. Jia's words are right, general, you might as well listen to Mr. Jia." Niu Fu had never had an idea, and after listening to Hu Chi'er's approval, he didn't say a word, nodded and said: "Then this matter will be done like this, and the details will be presided over by Mr." ”

"No!" When Jia Xu heard this, he bowed down and got up, took the order and went out.
