Chapter 368: Secretly pregnant with a ghost

Under Xu Ji's inquiring gaze, Jia Xu slowly spoke: "The lord should know about the fact that I have a spy in Li Dao Guo Yan's military camp, right?"

Xu Ji nodded, that was a small person, but it was definitely an extremely important part of Jia Xu's Chang'an plan, if it wasn't for this spy to run to Li Dao and Guo Yan, these two would not have gone to Xiliang to confront Ma Teng and Han Sui. Could it be that something is wrong with this person?

Sure enough, Jia Xu said: "I have always been in contact with the people I planted in Li Dao's camp, and I often send spies to the cities occupied by Li Dao to contact my men, but just over a month ago, the spies I sent were suddenly unable to contact my men, and I knew that something was wrong." Hence the strategy of retreat. ”

Zhang Xiu was afraid that Xu Ji would not understand, so he explained on the side: "There was a period of time when the strength of our army reached the vicinity of Sanguan, and the purpose was to facilitate contact with Mr. Jia Xu's spies. Because of this incident, Mr. Jia Xu ordered me and Zhang Wenyuan to fight against Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and retreated to Shenling to hold on to Shenling under the feint of defeat. ”

Xu Ji nodded, and then told his worries, and told Jia Xu the news he got from Guo Huai, Jia Xu shook his head when he heard this: "My lord, please rest assured, Wang Yun's suspicion of me is only because of the Xiliang people, and with Wang Yun's intelligence, he can't see through the special relationship between me and the lord." There was a pause. Jia Yu sneered again: "As for the matter of Liu Zhang's three brothers, I also felt inexplicable after I got the news, but because I have been unable to get in touch with my subordinates. I also heard that Liu Zhang was kidnapped by the Xiliang people, so I knew that Wang Yun was thinking with me. Now listening to the lord say this, it is even more proof of this. Wang Yun is just guarding against me. ”

Shi A was a little puzzled, and frowned and said, "Why do I think Wang Yun is doing this to startle the snake?" Jia Xu laughed and said, "Let's guess what happened: first, my subordinates had problems in Li Wei's camp. Li Dao and Guo Yan felt scared, they were afraid that they would die under my calculations, and they knew that I would have to clean them up sooner or later, so they launched a series of actions. They first went to Chang'an to find Wang Yun and negotiated with Wang Yun, saying that they would tell Wang Yun a big secret, and the price was to ask Wang Yun to let them go. Give a way out, Wang Yun after knowing that the super military divisions in Li Dao and Guo Yan's military camp are my subordinates. After some investigation, of course I believed them, so I agreed to their request and offered to cooperate with them. ”

Everyone nodded, and now it seems that this is about the case. Jia Xu showed strong confidence in his words and said: "My subordinates know that they will not betray me even if they show their feet, but I am afraid that they will commit suicide at the same time that Li Wei finds out his identity, so what Wang Yun can't figure out now is what my Jia Xu's plan is." At least judging from the current situation, Wang Yun thinks that I, Jia Xu, am the biggest profiteer in Chang'an. Moreover, through General Zhang Xiu, I control a powerful army in my hands, and I have every strength to compete with him for control of the imperial court. Xu Ji completely agrees with Jia Xu's analysis. Because Jia Xu has always given people the feeling that he is selfish, he only has his own interests in his heart, and there is no life or death of others. Therefore, it is natural for the suspicious Wang Yun to start guarding against Jia Xu. If you find out that Jia Xu is indifferent after finding out that something is wrong, it is strange.

Jia Xu snorted coldly: "Of course Wang Yun wants to get rid of me quickly. However, he doesn't have the guts yet, and he doesn't know whether it was my Jia Xu's idea to plant people in the camp of Dao Guo Yan. It is still General Zhang Xiu's intention, you must know that the difference is really big. "Several people in the big tent are all very intelligent, and they immediately understood what Jia Xu meant: for Wang Yun, if Jia Xu acted alone, then Wang Yun would have killed Jia Xu a long time ago, but if the person who has ambitions to compete with Wang Yun for the power of Chang'an is not Jia Xu but Zhang Xiu, and Jia Xu is just giving advice to Zhang Xiu, then this matter will be tricky, after all, Zhang Xiu has an army with a total of 50,000 people in his hands, plus Jia Xu, this force is really terrifying.

However, as a last resort, Wang Yun didn't want to attack Zhang Xiu's army, because Wang Yun was worried that if Jia Xu planted a treacherous matter, it had nothing to do with Zhang Xiu, but because he didn't handle it properly, he gave Jia Xu an opportunity to encourage Zhang Xiu to attack Chang'an, which would be very bad. Jia Xu laughed and said: "Wang Yun is suspicious by nature, once he finds that I and General Zhang Xiu are not very reliable, he will think about it, and first solve the internal enemy, and in Chang'an City, the people who are opposed to him are Yang Biao and Lu Bu, if General Zhang Xiu intends to deal with him, and if he joins forces with these two people, Wang Yun will immediately die without a place to be buried, and in this case, there will be a fake kidnapping of Liu Zhang."

Xu Ji struck with both hands and said, "I see! Wenhe, do you mean that Wang Yun thinks that if Brother Zhang Xiu and you want to cooperate with Yang Biao, the basis of cooperation must be Liu Yan's problem, so Wang Yun will attack Liu Zhang? ”

Jia Xu said with a smile: "That's right, Wang Yun is not a fool, the Hanzhong war has been fought for more than two months, and General Zhang Xiu and I have not been in love, but we have occupied some inconsequential passes, coupled with Li Yu's news, Wang Yun will definitely think that I am deliberately delaying and showing favor to Yang Biao, and I put forward a request to Wang Yun that I want to send Liu Zhang to the front line of Shenling, Wang Yun is of course even more suspicious." After a pause, he said: "You must know that before General Zhang Xiu and I set off from Chang'an, Wang Yun had already formulated a strategy to use Liu Zhang to seize Hanzhong and create a contradiction between Zhang Lu and Liu Yan according to my suggestion, but now he is beginning to suspect that General Zhang Xiu and I are trying to ask for Liu Zhang, of course, it is impossible to hand Liu Zhang over to us." After all, the only thing Wang Yun can threaten Liu Yan now is to control Liu Yan's three sons in his own hands. And in fact, during the period of the disappearance of today's saint, Wang Yun and Liu Yan have been fighting a big lawsuit, Liu Yan has always said that Wang Yun's name is not right, and his words are not good, if he wants to be the emperor, I am afraid that he would have already sent troops to attack Chang'an, but to this day. Liu Yan just moved his tongue. As long as Zhang Lu bluffs in Hanzhong, he is clearly a rat trap. was afraid that Wang Yun, a ruthless man, would kill his three sons, so that after his death. Yizhou is ownerless. Shi Aleng snorted and said, "I see." However, it is normal for Wang Yun to think so, Liu Yan is old and frail, and there is no heir around him. Wang Yun thought that Mr. Wenhe begged Liu Zhang to send Liu Zhang back to Yizhou, so that he could gain a foothold in Yizhou, so he made the matter of Xiliang soldiers robbing Liu Zhang's car. In this way, Liu Yan and Zhang Lu will not dare to act rashly."

Zhang Xiusenran said: "Wang Yun has another advantage in doing this, that is, he blames Yang Biao for the abduction of Liu Zhang. Take the opportunity to make a move on Yang Biao, so that you can not only further control Chang'an. And it also put an end to what he was afraid of happening, and we and Yang Biao should be together. Jia Xu said with a smile: "In fact, for Wang Yun, this benefit is the first place, after all, if you go outside, you must first settle inside."

Xu Ji sneered: "There is nothing in the world, mediocre people disturb themselves, Wang Yun is really funny." But being hit by him by mistake like this is not good for us. ”

At this time, Xu Ji was in a good mood, after all, Wang Yun did not target Jia Xu because he doubted the relationship between himself and Jia Yi, and now this possibility has basically been ruled out, and then think about it as long as Xu Wei succeeds in intercepting Wang Ling by the river. Then Wang Yunxiu wants to see through his whereabouts, and he has a little more certainty in the battle in Chang'an. Shi Ah had a question. said: "However, since Wang Yun is the supreme governor of Chang'an, since Mr. Wenhe is so suspicious. It's better to issue an order and directly transfer Mr. Wenhe and General Zhang Xiu back to Chang'an, why bother so much? ”

Xu Ji shook his head: "Brother Shi's words are wrong. In doing so, Wang Yun was the only one who startled the snake, and Wang Yun had already decided that there was a problem with Wen He. And before Wang Yun received the news from Li Xuan, two things had already happened: first, the people who Jia Xu had planted beside Li Xuan and Guo Yan lost the news for no reason. If Brother Shi is Wenhe, shouldn't he be vigilant? Wang Yun transferred you back to Chang'an at this time, will you not doubt it? Shi A suddenly said: "The lord's words are reasonable, if I were Mr. Wenhe, I would definitely find many excuses to shirk and not return to Chang'an when I received Wang Yun's order." It seems that sending troops to kidnap Liu Zhang is also a way out. At least by doing so, Yang Biao can be caught and ensured that there is one less force in Chang'an City that threatens him. It's a bit risky though. ”

Jia Xu looked at Shi A and said indifferently: "Mr. Shi A, Wang Yun seems to be risky to do this, but in fact, it is very safe, Wang Yun just deliberately let me know about Liu Zhang's matter, give me a trick to knock the mountain and shock the tiger, and even test whether the matter of interfering with his subordinates next to Li Dao Guo Yan has anything to do with General Zhang Xiu, and then decide what to do." Xu Ji and the three of them looked at each other, and their hearts were shocked.

Jia Xu snorted coldly: "The reason why Wang Yun is safe to do this is because he has already prevented any possibility, Wang Yun knows my means, so he will take this method to see my reaction, he thinks that if this matter is only done by me, then I will definitely find a way to save my life, and the most direct way is to bewitch General Zhang Xiu." ”

Zhang Xiu said coldly on the side: "Of course Wang Yun knows that my uncle and I have always been obedient to Mr. Jia Xu. Therefore, Wang Yun naturally thinks that it is very likely that Mr. Wenhe will use me to save his life. Jia Xu sneered: But Wang Yun is not at all careful, because he knows that General Zhang Xiu will definitely not turn his face against him for me, after all, Wang Yun has not done anything to endanger General Zhang Xiu, not to mention that General Zhang Ji is still fighting in the Central Plains, and the supply of grain and grass still needs to be supplied by the Chang'an army in Tongguan."

Speaking of this, Jia Xu turned his head to look at Xu Ji and said with a smile: "According to the information from the Central Plains, General Zhang Ji was very unhappy with the lord at the princes' meeting, I think, that was the lord's strategy to confuse Yuan Shao, right?" “

Xu Ji smiled: "I really can't hide anything from Wenhe." Jia Xu said indifferently: "But after the lord came like this, it was a kind of confusion for Wang Yun." There was a pause. Jia Xu said again: "If this matter is that I and General Zhang Xiu join forces to confuse Wang Yun, Wang Yun is not afraid of this matter, he will think that General Zhang Xiu will contact Zhang Lu in Hanzhong to attack Chang'an together, and at that time, Wang Yun can reach an agreement with Liu Yan to ask Liu Yan to fight back as a condition for returning Liu Zhang." So no matter what, the damage to Wang Yun is not great. If Wang Yun is worried, he is also worried about our collusion with Lu Bu. After all, Zhang Liao is here with us, ha, it was originally to get Zhang Liao, but now there is such a situation. It was unexpected, but there was no room for relaxation in the relationship between Lu Bu and Wang Yun. Ridiculous Lu Bu. Now that he occupies the northern city of Chang'an, it is really the most normal reaction. After all, Yang Biao was arrested. The rabbit dies and the fox hurts the like! For a while, there was no sound in the big tent, obviously aroused by Jia Xu's analysis and deep thought.

After a while. Jia Xu said: "I was originally planning to use Wang Yun's first conjecture, who knew that General Zhang Ji's fake discord with the lord in the alliance of princes reached me, I knew that I should use the first possibility." Let Wang Yun mistakenly think that I, Jia Xu, am using General Zhang Xiu to save my life. Xu Ji said with a smile: "So Wen and you are suspicious, and you want Brother Zhang Xiu and Zhang Liao's kid to lose the battle where Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are, and retreat to Shenling in the name of righteousness, but in fact, they are showing weakness to the enemy." Let Wang Yun think that you only have the ability to protect yourself reluctantly, right? ”

Jia Xu nodded and snorted coldly: "As the lord said, if you want to deal with Wang Yun." Then we must first find out who Wang Yun's helper is. I actually did this in the hope of forcing all of Wang Yun's helpers out. Glancing at everyone in the big tent, Shen Han said: "If my expectation is right, Wang Yun has already reached an agreement with Li Dao and Guo Yan and even Han Sui Ma Teng, there must be an army from Xiliangdi sneaking towards the Chang'an region, if I expected it correctly, when this army arrives." It was the day when Wang Yun turned his face. The reason why Wang Yun doesn't dare to do it now is entirely because he still can't figure out how far the relationship between us and Lu Bu has progressed, and now he is completely delaying time. ”

Everyone's hearts were awe-inspiring, and Xu Ji felt that the trip was worth it.

Zhang Xiu frowned and said, "Wenhe, I still don't understand why the two sides suddenly ceased fire on the Xiliang side. Does Li Dao and Guo Yan have such a great ability to convince Ma Teng and Han Sui? Jia Xu laughed and said: "This matter is not very difficult, Han Sui is originally an easy person to buy, as for Ma Teng, he has always advanced and retreated with Han Sui." If Han Sui quits the army, Ma Teng will not insist.

Xu Ji smiled at Zhang Xiu and said, "As long as Li urges Guo Yan to say to Han Sui, the villain: 'Everyone is from Xiliang, so it is necessary to kill each other?'" The one who wants to kill us all now is Wang Yun. It's not Lord Yang Biao, and Lord Yang Biao has a tense relationship with Wang Yun now. If you are still fighting against our army, won't you help Wang Yun again? Once we are wiped out. Will Wang Yun let you go? The cunning rabbit died, and the reason for the lackey cooking was too obvious. Looking at Zhang Xiuhua and nodding, Jia Xu said: "In the early days of the armistice, Li Dao and Guo Yan used this excuse to get a temporary truce, but after they met Wang Yun, especially when Yang Biao was arrested, Ma Teng and Han Sui would not start a war against Li Dao and Guo Yan because of the rat trap, speaking of Han Sui's despicable people, maybe they couldn't help but run away for a piece of the pie!" But how can I say it, now that the battle of Xiliangdi was provoked by my Jia Xu, if Wang Yun asked them to send troops to attack General Zhang Xiu, how could they not be active? ”

Shi A frowned and asked, "But will Wang Yun do it without asking?" Didn't Mr. Wenhe want to give Wang Yun the illusion that the whole conspiracy was your personal handiwork? Will Wang Yun still target General Zhang Xiu? Jia Xu snorted coldly and said: "Wang Yun is a smart person, he should know that General Zhang Xiu will definitely protect me, threaten General Zhang Xiu, and ask General Zhang Xiu to hand me over to Wang Yun, will General Zhang Xiu do it?" Fortunately, General Zhang Xiu was killed together, isn't there one less trouble? That's why I said, Wang Yun is waiting for the army from Xiliang now, if Wang Yun has another helper, then it must be Xiliang people! Xu Ji said coldly: "If you want to attack Brother Zhang Xiu now, the best way is to destroy the place where you are hoarding food." ”

Jia Xu sneered: "I have thought of this a long time ago, and Xianyang has already prepared there. Shi A frowned and said: "Even if we are on guard in Xianyang, even if we have guessed Wang Yun's intentions now, but there is still no way to take Wang Yun, since Wang Yun has been on guard, it is fundamentally impossible to capture Chang'an City with our strength, not to mention that there is also the Hanzhong Army in front of you, as long as Wang Yun takes Liu Zhang to threaten Liu Yan, the Hanzhong Army will immediately entangle you, this is simply a situation of waiting for death." ”

Jia Xu laughed when he heard this: "Mr. Shi's words are not bad, if there is no lord here, my Jia Xu is indeed a lone army here, but with this strange army brought by the lord, hum!" That's not to let me turn the clouds and rain, let it go! I had expected this day long before my lord came. Everyone was in high spirits and immediately looked at Jia Xu.

Naturally, I want to know how the top military advisors of the Three Kingdoms era can resolve the current crisis.

In fact, the current situation was also expected by Xu Ji, and more importantly, Xu Ji also knew that since Jia Xu was so calm, he must have already had a draft, but whether this solution could fight for the greatest benefit for himself, Xu Ji's purpose in coming to Chang'an was undoubtedly to seize this crucial and critical place, and only after capturing Chang'an could he further attack Xiliang and Yizhou.
