~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The mansion of Jia Xu, the general of the military division and the secretary of the Lingshangshu, is next door to the Hussar General's Mansion, which is convenient for summoning and discussing, which shows the importance that Ma Han attaches to Jia Xu.

On this day, Jia Cai went to the Naidi Mansion, presented an auspicious sticker, and said with a smile: "This is the daughter of Xun Zhongyu (Xun Yue) clan's nephew, Yingchuan Gaomen, and my Jia family's marriage, congratulations!" ”

Jia Xu held Ji Ti in his hand, twisted his beard and smiled while looking at it, and asked his subordinates: "Where is San Lang?" ”

The servant replied, "Go home, the young master has gone to the north, and he has just left the city gate." ”

Jia Xu's face sank: "Chase him back immediately." ”

Only then did the subordinates go out in a hurry, and another servant came to report: "The hussar general has sent the family to invite the head of the house to come over to discuss the matter." ”

Jia Cai was a little surprised: "Didn't you just go down to the court, how can you ...... What does Wen He know? ”

Jia Xu stretched out his finger to the east and said two words: "Xiapi." ”

Jia Cai was stunned, and then exclaimed: "The lord wants to save Lu Bu?" I'm afraid it's beyond the reach of the whip, right? ”

Jia Xu said: "It should be said that the lord will never let Cao Cao succeed - or, at least, will not let him take all of Lu Bu's army." ”

Jia Cai nodded slowly.

It was the same with Yuan Shao before, Zhao Yun not only took away thousands of prisoners from the Youzhou army, but also captured Youzhou because of the rescue of Baima's righteous servants. Everyone was moved. There were deserters in the barracks every day, and they continued to flee to Youbeiping, and in just two months, two barracks were empty. And as winter turns to spring, the weather improves. The number of fleeing soldiers increased day by day, and even mutiny occurred due to the interception and severe punishment of deserters by Yuan's army, resulting in large-scale defections.

Yuan Shao even sent an envoy to Tuyuan to urge Zhao Yun to refuse to accept the deserters and repatriate the fugitive soldiers—which was of course impossible. Yuan Shao also knew that it was impossible, but he made this gesture in order to put pressure on the Liaodong side and warn the other party that it was too ugly to eat goodbye - the conscience of heaven and earth, whether it was Ma Han or Zhao Yun. I didn't think it would be like this. This can only be said that the Yuan family forced the Gongsun family to death, which was unpopular in Youzhou.

Ma Han warned his subordinates early on: other forces can not care, but Yuan Shao and Cao Cao must pay attention to them. Every effort must be made to weaken these two forces as much as possible.

In the Battle of Yijing, Liaodong took half of the spoils, plus a large number of Youzhou deserters, it can be said that most of the results fell into the hands of Ma Han. Yuan Shao's family has a big business. There is plenty of money and food, and there are many generals, but I don't care much about that bit of rations. He cares more about face, there are too many deserters, and he has cut his own face.

And Cao Cao is different, this person is not as happy as Yuan Shao, but pays more attention to reality, if he destroys Lu Bu. The strength has skyrocketed, and its momentum is unstoppable.

Jia Cai was still skeptical: "Cao Cao had fought with Lu Bu for many years before. I didn't see how I could get the other party's ......."

Jia Xu said lightly: "Yuan Benchu and Gongsun Boqi have been attacking each other for many years, who would have thought. Died in a war? ”

Jia Cai was speechless.

At this time, the footsteps were urgent, and Jia Ji's voice came from outside: "Ah Weng, what's the urgent call?" ”

Jia Cai stroked his beard and smiled: "San Lang is back, looking at this auspicious sticker, I don't know how happy I am." ”

Jia Cai guessed wrong, when Jia Ji saw Na Ji Tie, his face changed, but he was not happy, but angry, and said to his father and uncle: "My son has already chosen ...... mind."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Jia Xu: "A gentleman is good, it doesn't matter, but it also depends on who he likes." ”

Jia Xu said as he asked the servants to carry up a wooden box, open it, and show his sons one by one.

"You often go to Beipi to watch Cai's female teaching, and you should know about things here." Jia Xu took out a black and glazed board, and said, "This thing is called a blackboard, take chalk and write it on the board, white characters on a black background, clearly legible, you can use a soft cloth to paint it off, and it is the best thing to learn for Mongolian children." ”

Jia Xu put down the blackboard and chalk, and took out a few things, which were actually triangular boards, protractors, compasses and other learning tools commonly used in primary schools in later generations, and said coldly: "What these things are for, you must know better than your father - don't tell your father, you don't know who invented this thing, and who gave it to!" ”

Jia Ji was silent for a while, and then said in a low voice: "As Ah Weng said, my fair lady is a good gentleman. ”

Jia Xu stared at the young man coldly, without saying a word, hoping that Jia Ji bowed his head in fear.

Jia Xu got up, put the triangle, protractor, and compass in front of Jia Ji one by one, and brushed his sleeves away.

Jia Ji looked at these three things in a daze, unaware of it.

Leaning less, Jia Cai got up, walked to the congzi, and said in a deep voice: "Don't you know what your father means?" ”

Jia Ji bowed uprightly: "I hope my uncle will solve his doubts." ”

Jia Cai bent down, stretched out his hand, and his fingertips brushed over the surface of three things: "You can measure distances, you can measure angles, and you can draw circles—your father is using these three things as a metaphor, knowing how to do things, and understanding the rules." ”

……

"Lu Bu can't die, and the state iron cavalry and the trapping camp can't fall into the hands of Cao Cao." Ma Han summoned two masterminds and drew the bottom line straight to the point.

Jia Xu nodded slowly: "Cao Mengde is a masterpiece, the so-called dragon will turn into a dragon when it encounters a storm, Xuzhou is like a cloud, and an iron horse is like the wind. ”

Guo Jia bowed his head, and then asked: "However, Sili and Xuzhou are thousands of miles away, what does Ming Gong want?" ”

These two are both top-level strategists, and they are extremely accurate, and they both recognize the wariness of the same lord against Cao Cao, but what kind of countermeasures to take is quite tricky.

"To rescue a thousand miles of danger, it is nothing more than echoing each other from afar, encircling Wei to save Zhao, and directly sending troops." Ma Han pointed out one by one on the topographic map hanging on the back wall with his baton, "Let's talk about echoing each other from afar, and someone has done this before us - Zhang Yang, the Taishou of Hanoi, has personally led a large army to appear in Dong City to support Lu Bu. Although his army has never crossed the river, it is enough to threaten Puyang, and it can change from echoing from afar to encircling Wei to save Zhao at any time. ”

"Because of Zhang Yang's demonstration effect, Yanzhou has also strengthened our defenses. Xu Gongming came to report that Fengqiu and Junyi to the east of Xingyang, and Wei to the south. There were a large number of Cao army outposts, but our army had the slightest sign of sending troops, and it was absolutely impossible to hide it. Ma Han put down his baton, looked at the two of them, and said in a deep voice. Unless we decide to tear our faces with Cao Cao and send a large army directly. ”

Guo Jia shook his head: "It is almost impossible for Luoyang to send troops, Cao Cao has not only paid a lot of tribute in recent years, but also repeatedly sent envoys to make friends with his ministers, and there are many old things in the court." The reviews are very good. And the Dragon Wolf Army is regarded as the tiger of Zhenjing, and it is difficult to officially leave Beijing without the order of the Son of Heaven. And neither the Son of Heaven nor the courtiers would agree to participate in the battle of the heroes. ”

Guo Jia mentions a "formal" concept here. refers to the Dragon Wolf Army as the nominal pro-army of the Son of Heaven, according to the system. If you want to transfer troops to the battle, you must hold the Son of Heaven rune, the edict, and the seal of the hussar general to be valid.

But whether it is Ma Han, Jia Xu, or Guo Jia, they all understand that this set of processes on weekdays is quite good, once they enter the state of imminent battle, except for Ma Chao and Pang De's dragon and wolf divisions, it is difficult to say, the rest of the dragon and wolf army soldiers. Only recognize the hussar general's seal. Emperor...... Let's wait until you don't have to eat the grain of Liaodong.

Ma Han was silent, although he had absolute control over the Dragon Wolf Army, but for this matter. Grievances with Cao Cao on the outside and discord with the monarchs and ministers on the inside are unfavorable from the overall point of view. Unless Cao Cao can be beaten to death with a stick and Yanzhou is included, the dragon and wolf army will not be able to attack.

"My thoughts are like this, Liaodong has recently received a large number of Youzhou fugitives. Integrate, it shouldn't be difficult to pull out three thousand people. It was then transported south by boat. Go to Yuzhou Mountain and join forces with Guan Cheng, you can get 5,000 troops. Ma Han groaned. This method of direct military intervention is the most effective, but with such a mixed battle, it is uncertain whether it can repel Cao Cao. ”

A temporary remnant of the defeated army, not accustomed to water, drifting at sea for dozens of days, let alone participating in the war after getting off the ship, just recovering from the state, I am afraid that it will take more than ten days, and it will not be possible to adapt to the water and soil to lie down the next batch. This plan, to be honest, Ma Han is not sure.

It's a pity that Liaodong's forces have reached their limit, and they can't draw a few thousand troops to the south in the short term.

Jia Xu's eyelids drooped, he kept brushing his beard, and after a while, he stretched out three fingers: "Sancheng." ”

Ma and Guo are both shrewd people, and as soon as they heard it, they knew that Jia Xu was saying that the probability of successfully forcing Cao Jun back was no more than 30%.

Ma Han was quite convinced of Jia Xu's strategy and decision, knowing that this person would be right in his words, he said that thirty percent was really only thirty percent. It is impossible to fight any battle with 100% certainty, but if there is only 30%, it is better not to fight.

Guo Jia stared straight at the giant map, suddenly stood up from behind the case, walked to the map, stretched out Bai Xuan's finger, and rowed down a river, until the end - Xiapi, and then knocked lightly.

Ma Han's eyes lit up, but Jia Xu sighed secretly: "Guo Fengxiao, Guo Fengxiao, so risky, aren't you worried about your wealth?" ”

The route drawn by Guo Jia is to enter Yingchuan from the south of Luoyang, turn southwest to Nanyang, and then go south along Yecheng, Wuyin, and Biyang all the way to Fuyang. This is the source of the Tongbai Mountains and the Huai River. From this downstream, you can go straight to Xuzhou along the junction of Jing, Henan and Yangzhou.

This line, brushing the border of Jingzhou, Yuzhou, Yangzhou and other three states, danger and opportunity coexist. At that time, the three major forces of Cao Cao, Liu Biao, and Yuan Shu were basically bounded by Huaishui, and this river was regarded as a military buffer zone. But the buffer zone is a buffer zone, and you can't always lead an army to swagger through the market, and it's strange that the three major forces don't rise up and attack.

"The lord can order a general to lead more than 100 people to go south along this line and enter Xu to save Lu." Guo Jia pointed his finger at three places, "There are three sources of troops, one is the soldiers of Yuzhou Island, there are 2,000 people; the second is the Danyang Jing Pawn, which can be co-tuned with the Tao brothers; The third is the Mi family servants in Qu County, and there is no big problem when thousands of people are transferred. In this way, you can get 5,000 sharp soldiers, both land and water, forcing Cao to retreat, and the odds of victory can be increased by three points. ”

In a war, there is a sixty percent chance of victory, and you can give it a go.

But Guo Jia then shook his head: "It's a pity, if you want to unify these three armies, I'm afraid no one can do it right now." ”

Indeed, Xu Huang has enough ability, but not enough prestige, at least the Mi brothers will not buy his account. Le Jin is barely qualified, but he was born in Cao Ying, and if he takes on this heavy responsibility, he is afraid that there will be variables. And apart from these two generals, the rest of the people are simply not enough to unify the three armies.

"Actually, there's a fourth army." Ma Han suddenly smiled and knocked on a certain place on the map, "As soon as this army comes out, it is far better than the other three armies, and you can add three points, no, five points to win!" ”

This time it was Guo Jia's turn to light up: "It turned out to be him-with the help of this person, he will definitely be able to deal a fatal blow to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will not escape this time." ”

Ma Han laughed at Gu Jiaxu: "What is the meaning of Wenhe"?

Jia Xu nodded: "With a three-pronged approach, the dark army will break out, and Cao Cao will be defeated in this battle." Only one ......"

Ma Han stretched out his thumb and pointed at himself: "I know, only by me can I unify the three armies, and more importantly, I must personally come forward to transfer this dark army - then good, I will enter Xuzhou three times!" ”

Jia Xu sighed secretly, what he was worried about was this, there were some things that Guo Jia could say and dared to say, but he Jia Xu couldn't say it, and there were some things that he had to say, and he said at the moment: "The danger of this trip is better than the previous one, and the lord has a great responsibility, so he must not be careless." ”

"I know, but if you can hit Cao Cao hard, this risk is worth taking."

"Lord ......"

Jia Xu still needed to be persuaded again, but was stopped by Ma Han raising his hand, and shook his fist: "When there is a storm in Xuzhou, I will disperse this storm and make him Cao Cao never become a dragon!" (To be continued) R580
