Chapter 143: Zhang Xiu surrenders

"Actually, Ben Jiang really wants to know, why is Mr. Wenhe so optimistic about Cao Cao?"

The corners of Jia Xu's mouth twitched, and he looked at Wang Chong meaningfully: "What does General Annan want to say?" ”

Wang Chong said lightly: "I just want to tell Mr. Wenhe that the world is impermanent, and people can't hang themselves on a tree, just like Mr. Wenhe's optimistic Cao Cao, if when he started a war with Yuan Shao, I Jinfan suddenly sent troops from Huainan to attack the rear of Cao's army, do you think Cao Cao still has the possibility of winning?" ”

"General Annan forgot Sun Cehu?"

"Sun Ce? What can he do? Mr. Wenhe inevitably thinks too highly of him! Wang Chong sneered, "If he can form an alliance with Cao Cao, I can't form an alliance with Jingzhou?" What's more, now that Jiangdong's vitality is greatly damaged, my Jinfan only needs to guard a few ferries with heavy troops, which is enough to make my Huainan land as stable as Mount Tai! ”

Jia Xu smiled and said: "With the wisdom of General Annan, he will not do the thing of destroying the Great Wall!" ”

"Dare to ask Mr. Wenhe, what is the self-destruction of the Great Wall?"

Jia Xu said: "Now the situation in the north is clear, Yuan is strong and Cao is weak, if Yuan Shao wins, with his hundreds of thousands of soldiers, it is enough to swallow the world in a short period of time and create the emperor's industry; On the contrary, if Cao Gong wins, with the Hebei background, it will take at least a few years for Cao Gong to completely digest it, presumably with the ambition of General Annan, he will not just be willing to be an ordinary general under Yuan Shao, right? ”

I have to say that Jia Xu's analysis is very reasonable, Jinfan wants to develop now, what he lacks most is time, in this battle in the north, if the person who wins is Yuan Shao, then the other princes basically have no drama to sing, especially Wang Chong's Huainan is still in no danger to defend, once Yuan Shao's army is pressed...... It's not that Jin Fan doesn't have a chance to win at all, it's just that the odds are too slim, and the result will be cheaper than Sun Ce.

Therefore, if Jin Fan wants to get enough time for development, he can only hope that Cao Cao will defeat Yuan Shao, and Jia Xu saw through this point before he concluded that Wang Chong would never dare to send troops to attack Cao Cao during the battle of Yuan Cao, and maybe when Cao Cao was about to lose his support, he might even help others appropriately.

Jia Xu guessed correctly, Wang Chong really didn't want to stab Cao Cao in the back, but this does not mean that he will show weakness to Jia Xu: "Mr. Wenhe is too superficial, even if Yuan Shao can defeat Cao Cao, he may not be able to defeat my Jinfan, not to mention that the larger Yuan Shao's territory, the greater the contradictions between his factions, Yuan Shao spoils his third son Yuan Shang, and his son-in-law Yuan Tan will not be willing to be taken away, and he will only need to pretend to take refuge in one side or left and right, which is enough to ensure that my Jinfan is immortal." ”

Speaking of this, Wang Chong also deliberately glanced at Jia Xu, whose face became more and more heavy: "And once Yuan Shao dies, the contradictions between his sons and heirs will inevitably be completely intensified, and then the Yuan army will fall apart, isn't it a good time for me to rise Jinfan?" It must be known that the princes of the world can enter the eyes of the general, but Cao Cao is alone, if Cao Cao's henchman can be eliminated as soon as possible, even if the general is allowed to wait for more than ten or twenty years, what does it matter? ”

Jia Xu was completely shocked by Wang Chong's remarks, he really didn't expect Wang Chong to think about the problem so far-reaching, as long as he analyzed it carefully, it is not difficult to find that the idea that Wang Chong said is not just untargeted.

Yuan Shao is nearly fifty years old, and his health is not good, who knows when he will kick his legs to Elysium? And as long as Yuan Shao dies, his stupid sons are probably still helping others count money after being sold by Wang Chong!

However, Jia Xu also knows very well that although this idea is good, there are too many unstable factors, so it is impossible for Wang Chong to take this road until he is forced to do so, but in this way, the problem is back to the starting point.

Jia Xu summed it up, and the conclusion he came to made him quite laughable, Wang Chong said so much, it has no practical meaning at all, and its purpose is nothing more than to raise the bar with himself.

"This kid really refuses to eat at all!" Jia Xu thought to himself speechlessly.

Seeing that Jia Xu no longer contradicted himself, Wang Chong immediately accepted it, and turned to face Zhang Xiu, who had been stunned by the conversation between him and Jia Xu, and cut to the chase: "General Zhang, presumably my intention today, the general already knows, Cao Cao's ambition for Nanyang is bound to win, Wancheng is by no means a place to stay for a long time, if the general goes to Huainan with me, you and I join forces, who else is afraid in this world?" ”

Jia Xu sneered: "Join forces? General Annan's words are so good, in the final analysis, he just wants to incorporate my Nanyang army, is it possible that after seizing the country in the future, General Annan will still be willing to share the world fairly with my family master? ”

"At least in my Jinfan, General Zhang will not be excluded, and he doesn't have to live in fear every day!" Wang Chong stared at Jia Xu with a playful expression, "Mr. Wenhe, since ancient times, those who have been selling and seeking glory have nothing to do!" ”

Wang Chong's heart-wrenching remarks finally made Jia Xu, who had always been moody and invisible, angry and discolored: "You ......"

At this time, Zhang Xiu, who had been silent before, said in a cold voice: "Wenhe, don't say more, no matter what, this general will not defect to Cao Thief!" ”

"Lord......" Zhang Xiu's tone full of disappointment made Jia Xu's heart like a knife, and after a long time, he sighed dejectedly, "That's it......"

A flash of panic flashed in Zhang Xiu's eyes: "Does Wen He want to abandon me?" ”

Jia Xu said: "Lord, the old minister is old and tired, and I ask the lord to allow the old minister to return to his hometown and enjoy his old age in peace......

"This ......" Zhang Xiu subconsciously set his eyes on Wang Chong, the reason why he refused to surrender to Cao so decisively just now was because he had already decided in his heart to return to Jinfan, after all, as Wang Chong just said, defecting to Jinfan, at least don't worry about dying in the future.

Wang Chong asked Jia Xu with a smile: "Mr. Wenhe, are you sure you want to return to your hometown?" ”

Jia Xu ignored the threat in Wang Chong's eyes and replied coldly: "Yes!" ”

Wang Chong raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "It's just right, my Huainan fish and rice township, with beautiful mountains and rivers, should be the best place to recuperate." ”

Wang Chong naturally couldn't let go of this 'poisoner' who could mess with the country, even if he couldn't be used by Jinfan, Wang Chong would never allow him to become his enemy.

Jia Xu smiled bitterly: "It seems that General Annan refuses to let the old man go no matter what?" ”

Wang Chong nodded and said, "Mr. Wenhe is a smart person, he should know how to choose!" ”

Jia Xu was silent for a while when he heard this, and suddenly laughed: "Well, as General Annan said, people can't hang themselves on a tree, in fact, the old man is also looking forward to what General Annan can do, but before that, General Annan still thinks about how to safely lead the army back to Huainan under the pursuit of Cao Gong!" ”

"It's best if Mr. Wenhe can figure it out." Wang Chong was relieved and asked with a smile, "Is this the exam question given by Mr. Wenhe to the general?" ”

"Sort of."

"In that case, Mr. Wenhe, let's see it!"
