Chapter 240: Jia Xu's Disappearance
When Liu Tai said this, Xi Zhicai and Xun You, who were still playing black and white, couldn't help but glance at each other, Liu Tai said that what Zhang Jiao said was so good, why wasn't he like this? It can even be said that it is more excessive than Zhang Jiao, as soon as the blockade order is issued, the land of the two northern states is blocked, and the students are "imprisoned" in Hwaseong!
Black and white is also known as Go, the ancient "piano, chess, calligraphy, painting" in the chess refers to the Go, the legend of Go was invented and the era of Emperor Yao, inherited for thousands of years, there is also a saying that the chess field is like a battlefield, but Liu Tai can't feel it, what is the meaning of playing black and white?
"Lord, Zhang Jiao's rebellion is imminent, and the Sanfu region is not prepared at all, is it a little inappropriate?" Guo Jia arched his hand at Liu Tai and asked. In fact, Guo Jia wanted to know what Liu Tai was going to do with the Yellow Sect, after all, the Yellow Sect is now becoming more and more powerful, and it can be said that it encompasses the entire Western Frontier of the Han Dynasty.
Liu Tai shook his head, sighed and said: "Now that the Yellow Sect has the support of the Gate Valve Clan, the momentum has been achieved, and our army is being held back by the Xianbei Five Clans in front of us, even if it is played by His Majesty, it will not benefit in the slightest, it is better to wait and see what happens." ”
"My lord is right." Xun You, who was playing Go, raised his head, bowed to Liu Tai and said: "Lord, after all, the soldiers of the Yellow Sect are all composed of croppers, among which there are less than 100,000 soldiers who can really fight, and these croppers who have just raised their heads from the fields know what military discipline is?" What is Military Law? I'm afraid that it is the banner of the Yellow Sect, and the first thing these farmers will deal with is those gate valve clans, if the Yellow Sect loses the support of the gate valve clans, it will immediately become a plate of loose sand! ”
"What about this general? It's just that Jia Xu's bastard is behind the scenes, with Jia Xu here, the chaotic people under the Yellow Sect, even if they will do something to the gate lords, they will definitely be controlled within a certain range, as long as the gate lords in southern Xinjiang do not defect, the soldiers of the Yellow Sect will have a steady stream of food and grass, and then there will be tigers and wolves in front of me in northern Xinjiang, how to be enemies with them? Liu Tai touched his nose, his face was full of sadness, and he said to Xun You with a wry smile.
The people present are all confidants, even if they express their worries, it doesn't matter, at least it won't mess up the morale of the army, after all, as the commander-in-chief, saying some frustrating words in front of people can easily lead to a mutiny in the army.
"It's okay, my lord, as the saying goes, it's better to block than to be sparse, even if Jia Xu has a plan to reach the sky, what can he do? Could it be that he can still control the entire Yellow Sect? Don't forget, Jia Xu is just a strategist! Xun You smiled, although Liu Tai's face was full of sadness, he still said disapprerovingly.
In Xun You's eyes, even if the Yellow Sect rises up, it is just a temporary trouble, and this is the root of the disease under the hundreds of years of rule of the Han Dynasty, if it does not break out at this time, and then presses down, it will only be larger and more terrifying, at least now the northern Xinjiang still has the power to fight back, what if it is a few decades later?
"Enjiaxu is indeed just a strategist" Liu Tai's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had thought of something interesting, he looked at Guo Jia and asked: "Xiao Jiazi, I heard that you have just returned from Liangzhou, have you ever heard of Jia Xu's latest movements?" ”
"Huh??" Guo Jia frowned, and said with a puzzled look: "No, Jia Xu's whereabouts are secret, I only said that the Jia Mansion moved westward, I don't know what the reason is"
"Oh??" Liu Tai nodded, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, a trace of an inexplicable smile hung on the corner of his mouth, and he muttered softly: "Jia Xu, Jia Xu's family name is easy to change, I really thought that you died with Zhang Jiao, it turned out that you still left a way back for yourself!" ”
Yizhou Yizhou is the largest state in the Han world, north of Sanfu, Liangzhou, west of the towering mountains, south of the land of barbarian snakes and insects, east of the rich Jingzhou, the terrain is dangerous, known as Shu Road is difficult to go to the blue sky, and Yizhou is also the dragon of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang was named the king of Han in the past, that is, from Yizhou sent troops to Sanfu and then dominated the world.
The reason why Zhang Jiao set his nest in Yizhou is naturally because he values the dangerous terrain of Yizhou, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack! As long as there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses guarding Yangping Pass, even hundreds of thousands of troops can not enter Shuzhong, they can attack and retreat to defend, and this place is the foundation, it can also hit the momentum of the Liu royal family to the greatest extent, after all, Hanzhong is the place where Liu Bang rises, and now the people in the foundation are reversed, what face does the Liu family have to rule the world?
Yizhou Shu brocade armor in the world, is the best choice for the entire Han upper-class aristocratic clothing, because Shu brocade is not only good quality, the production is also very beautiful, every piece of Shu brocade has like a work of art, in the Central Plains wars are frequent, the generals under their hands have made meritorious contributions, more to Shu brocade gifts, brocade clothes and jade robes, it is said that Shu brocade, and with the reputation of Shu brocade, Yizhou's business is also very developed, all walks of life have sprung up in Yizhou, only you can't think of it, there is nothing you can't find.
Although Zhang Jiao's momentum is now in the city, sitting in the northern part of Yizhou, with hundreds of thousands of armor under his hands, just like the posture of the second prince in the world, Zhang Jiao is still dissatisfied, why? Because of the two nails arranged by Liu Tai, Gongsun Chan and Gongsun Du! Recently, these two people will find trouble with Zhang Jiao if they have nothing to do, and even many of the two of them secretly sneaked into Chengdu and almost found out Zhang Jiao's secrets.
Why did the two trouble Zhang Jiao? It's very simple, Cao Qian's rebellion was quelled by three people together, why can you Zhang Jiao take the merit alone? Gongsun Du and Gongsun Zhan, who have made a lot of efforts, are drinking cold water next to him? Is it in the past? It's obviously unreasonable!
Zhang Jiao naturally knew that he was at a loss, and he didn't dare to trouble the two of them on the surface, but now that the incident is imminent, leaving the two of them in his rear, Zhang Jiao is not at ease? originally wanted to talk to the resourceful Jia Xu, but Pian Pian Jia Xu went home to save his relatives again, so Zhang Jiao could only stay alone in the Assassin's Mansion to make a dry fire.
"Heavenly Master, if Mr. Jia has been gone for a few months, I'm afraid there will be some variables, right?" A middle-aged man in a black shirt and a scarf sat on the first case at the bottom right of Zhang Jiao, took a sip of fragrant tea from northern Xinjiang, and said lightly.
"Change? Huang Long, are you worried that Jia Xu will never return? Zhang Jiao looked a little tired, and could even be said to be sickly, with a thick faint color between his eyebrows, I don't know why?
"Yes" It turns out that this person's name is Huang Long, and he is Zhang Jiao's military advisor! Huang Long's status in Yizhou is very high, it can be said that he is only below the three Zhang Jiao brothers, and even above Zhang Heng and Zhang Lu's father and son.
"Mr. Jia has never attached much importance to the great cause of my Yellow Sect, and he has never held any position in my sect, but his ability is a hundred times higher than that of his subordinates, this time his subordinates did not approve of Mr. Jia going out, after all, out of Yizhou, it will be difficult to let him come back, but Mr. Jia said, you can hold Liu Tai in Northern Xinjiang for more than four or five months, and give me time to teach, hey" Huang Long sighed, and his slightly resolute face showed a trace of regret, but what can Huang Long do? For example, the only one who can become the opponent of the Yellow Sect today is Liu Tai, if Liu Tai cannot be supported to go south before the Yellow Sect defeats Luoyang, then the great cause of the Yellow Sect will be in jeopardy.
In the eyes of the top leaders of the Yellow Sect, as long as Luoyang falls, after the hundred officials of the court and the Son of Heaven are executed, the popular support of the Han Dynasty will be completely lost. Is it necessary to be thankless?
Of course, it is also because Zhang Jiao, Huang Long and others are too self-confident, since gradually taking control of the power of southern Xinjiang, Zhang Jiao has privately trained nearly 500,000 soldiers and horses, distributed around southern Xinjiang, although the combat effectiveness is very unstable, but at least there are 500,000 troops, right?
Coupled with the four states of the Central Plains, the three auxiliary areas, and the rudder of the Yellow Sect in Liangzhou, as long as they are righteous together, the Yellow Sect can completely subvert the rule of the Han Dynasty with the momentum of sweeping the world, and as long as Luoyang falls, the Yellow Sect army can go north with a great victory, and pacify the northern Xinjiang in one fell swoop, then the world can be determined.
Zhang Jiao frowned, Jia Xu's going north was also approved by Zhang Jiao, but Zhang Jiao didn't think that Jia Xu might never return, after all, the trend of the Yellow Sect can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye, and the most important thing is that Jia Xu's two clansmen and disciples are still in Zhang Jiao's hands, in Zhang Jiao's opinion, if he controls Jia Xu's disciples, he can indirectly control Jia Xu, but obviously Zhang Jiao's thinking is too simple.
"Why did Wen He abandon me?" Zhang Jiao frowned, and asked out loud with a puzzled look, now that Jia Xu is not here, Huang Long is Zhang Jiao's chief military advisor!
Huang Long shook his head with a wry smile, put down the teacup, picked up a handful of sunspots on the side of the desk, put it on the chessboard and said: "Heavenly Master, please look, now Northern Xinjiang is like Liu Tai, although Northern Xinjiang is embattled at this time, but no matter what, Northern Xinjiang is much stronger than my Yellow Sect foundation, and most importantly, Liu Tai is famous, as long as he holds the army, even the Son of Heaven will not dare to move him easily!" ”
Then, I saw that Huang Long picked up a handful of white seeds again, placed them around the black seeds, and even said that he surrounded the black seeds, and said: "And our Yellow Sect is like a white child, the strength is huge, but it is too scattered, and the believers in Jingyang and the two states are all obeying the orders of the earth master and the human teacher, and you have no direct loyalty to the heavenly master at all." ”
Zhang Jiao stood up, walked in front of Huang Long, looked at the chessboard with both eyes, looked very ugly, and said gloomily: "What the military advisor means is that even if it is possible for our army to capture Luoyang, it is impossible to defeat Liu Tai, and it can even be said that it will split halfway?" ”
"Ahem" Huang Long felt the cold air emitted from Zhang Jiao's body, and couldn't help but shiver, but he still coughed twice, nodded and said: "That's true, not only the earth division and the human teacher, but also the leaders of other states and counties, it can even be said that they are nominally subordinates of the Heavenly Master, but in fact they are all working independently, and the most terrifying thing is that when Luoyang is broken, Mr. Jia came up with the canon that is not allowed to harm the common people and not to violate the gate valve, It will be completely destroyed by the rebel armies on all sides, and there is nothing we can do in the face of such a situation. ”
Zhang Jiao's expression was ugly, if it weren't for Huang Long's words, Zhang Jiao really couldn't have imagined that although the Yellow Sect had expanded countless times after coming to the south, it was also on the verge of collapse, but unfortunately, Zhang Jiao did not have the ability to reorganize the Yellow Sect and did not have time.
"According to the opinion of the military division, can this situation still be suppressed?" Zhang Jiao looked at Huang Long with a frosty face, this old courtier who originally followed him and also proposed the establishment of the Yellow Sect, asked out loud.
