Chapter 381: Scuffle (9)
When Xu Ji led the three generals Dian Wei, Zhou Cang, and Pei Yuanshao to the front line with five thousand shadows, it was already noon.
Looking up, the camp of his side is divided into two parts, look at the flag, close to Weishui, and the opposite of Xianyang on the other side of the river is Zhang Xiu's camp.
In the southeast of Zhang Xiu's camp, the camp that echoes and is very distinct from the end of Zhang Xiu's camp is naturally Li Yan's department. Xu Ji secretly praised in his heart, such a camp, not only to take care of Xianyang, but also to prevent the enemy from making a detour and going straight to Chang'an for a sneak attack, now it is autumn again, the weather is dry and dry, and the most important thing to guard against is the fire attack, this way of arranging the camp in three sections is naturally to prevent this from happening.
Jia Xu, who is best at figuring out the hearts of others, is really doing a good job at this.
Before coming to Zhang Xiu's camp, someone rushed to report, and after a while, Zhang Xiu, Jia Xu and Zhang Liao came out of the tent to greet each other. Xu Ji laughed and dismounted, walked towards the three of them, and saw Zhang Liao at a glance, only then did he remember that strictly speaking, Zhang Liao was not a general under his own account but a subordinate of Lu Bu. couldn't help but be a little hesitant, I didn't know what kind of face to talk to Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu, for fear that if Zhang Liao did not return, he would see that he did not have a relationship with Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu, and it would be unfavorable to the matter of placing Jia Xu and Zhang Xiu next to Emperor Han Xian in the future.
When he turned his head, he saw Jia Xu smiling and nodding his head, knowing that Jia Xu had already settled Zhang Liao for himself, and the heart hanging in his heart was immediately open, and he talked to Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu. Then he came to Zhang Liao, who looked hesitant and unnatural, and said sincerely: "Wenyuan, I have been thinking about Wenyuan for a long time, and I finally have to get together today." It's really a blessing for three lives, and it's a great relief for life! Zhang Liao had a bad impression of Xu Ji. But what Lu Bu did to him had already broken his heart, and he had been in Zhang Xiu's army for a long time. admired Jia Xu's strategy very much, and he got a lot of benefits from it. Therefore, he was relieved to serve in Zhang Xiujun.
He felt that although Zhang Xiu was not the master, it was a very promising thing to follow Jia Xu.
Who knew that it was this person he admired the most who actually told him that he was Xu Ji's person, which surprised Zhang Liaoshi and was at a loss. I have the heart to leave, but I can't bear it. Coupled with Jia Xu's hard persuasion, he reluctantly stayed, preparing to observe Xu Ji as a person first, and then make another plan.
Today, seeing the unruly Zhang Xiu and the mysterious Jia Xu have such a respectful attitude towards Xu Ji, Zhang Liao, who is watching coldly, has another feeling, and feels that Xu Ji must be outstanding. Otherwise, how could characters like Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu be convinced. Think about it again, Xu Ji's means of turning his hands into clouds and turning his hands into rain can actually subvert the Chang'an regime without knowing it. Now the military power is even more in hand. Naturally, there is a fear of Xu Ji.
I wanted to go to the front to meet Xu Ji, but I felt that I couldn't get over my face, not to mention that I was caught by Xu Ji outside Luoyang City, for fear that Xu Ji would see him put on a big show and humiliate himself as a homeless person in front of him. was hesitating, who thought that Xu Ji would take the initiative to talk to him, and hurriedly bowed down and saluted, calling him the lord. What kind of perceptive person is Xu Ji? He had already seen that Zhang Liao seemed to have a lot of opinions about himself. But he didn't know what the problem was, but he knew Zhang Liao. He is an honest man who is cunning to the enemy, sincere to friends, and likes face. Cao Cao's smiling face immediately softened, and he was fated in the end.
Therefore, the way to deal with Zhang Liao is to treat each other with sincerity.
Come to think of it. Xu Ji stepped forward and grabbed Zhang Liao. Affectionately walked towards the big tent of the Chinese army. Zhang Liao was a little overwhelmed. Xu Ji looked at Zhang Liao, who was a little blushing, and said with a smile: "Wenyuan is his own person. If there is anything I have to say, I always feel that Wen Yuan was particularly targeted at me before, and I don't know what the reason is. I don't think it's because I captured Wen Yuan alive, right? Wouldn't Wen Yuan be a scheming villain? Have I offended Wenyuan? I also want to tell you, so that I can change it. Haha, if you don't, you will be encouraged. ”
Zhang Liao didn't expect Xu Ji to ask himself so single-handedly, and he was a little stunned for a while, but he liked Xu Ji's character who could say anything, and he wouldn't take Xu Ji's capture of himself to heart. As a professional soldier, success or failure on the battlefield can be handled calmly, but only personality cannot be discarded, which has always been Zhang Liao's creed. Xu Ji didn't insult himself when he caught him that day, and his attitude towards him was much stronger than Lu Bu's.
Therefore, Zhang Liao couldn't help but feel close to Xu Ji Dasheng at the moment, and was a little embarrassed to tell him the bad feeling that Xu Ji gave him when he fought Xu Ji outside Luoyang City.
Xu Ji then understood what was going on, and said with a smile: "What Wen Yuan said makes sense, it seems that my performance at that time was a little arrogant." Zhang Liao was stunned again, he didn't expect Xu Ji to be so brave to admit his mistakes, and he felt even more admiration in his heart.
Jia Xu, who had been listening to the conversation between the two, said with a smile: "The lord is a real hero, and he doesn't defend himself, Jia Xu admires it." ”
Xu Ji turned his head to look at Jia Xu and stopped: "Wenhe ......"
Zhang Liao asked Jia Xu: "Mr. Wenhe, why do you say this?" He was originally a person with a thousand dexterities, so he naturally heard Jia Xu's off-string sound. Jia Xu didn't look at Xu Ji either, and said to Zhang Liao: "Wenyuan, although I was not at the scene at the time, I can guess a thing or two about the lord's mind." Since the lord is there to stop you, he must have a certain understanding of your whereabouts, since he knows that you are Zhang Liao, then he naturally also knows Lu Bu, think about it, I waited for a night, just waiting for you, but Lu Bu is nowhere to be found, it is obviously a detour to the two princes, the lord's idea at that time must be to ensure the safety of the two princes, how can fighting with you not make him anxious, he will naturally show absent-mindedness between his actions and behaviors, but it has nothing to do with disrespecting Wen Yuan. Jia Xu's words shocked Zhang Liao's body, stunned for a long time, and then knelt on the ground, ashamed and sincere: "Lord, it is really ...... to spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain."
Xu Ji pulled Zhang Liao up. He said earnestly: "Wen Yuan, the three armies can win the commandery, but the puppet can't win his ambition, let alone a hero like Wen Yuan?" People's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and you don't know what I thought at the time, the so-called ignorant are not to blame, Wen Yuan really shouldn't take it to heart. ”
Zhang Liao stood up, his eyes flashing with gratitude. He nodded heavily, and his heart was already full of swearing. Xu Ji looked at Zhang Liu's determined appearance. It's more like untying a heart knot, and he said happily: "This is the refreshing man of my heart ring!" ”
He turned his head to look at Jia Xu and said, "Wen He still knows me." ”
Jia Xu said: "The lord has won the award." This is human nature, Wen Yuan is just obsessed for a while, and it doesn't matter if he explains the original on behalf of the lord. Xu Ji was stunned for a moment, looked at Jia Xu and smiled meaningfully, Jia Xu is Jia Xu after all, he knows the best way to protect himself, and knows that his status in the Yanzhou army is getting heavier. It's starting to rein in its edge.
But that's a good thing. This proves that Jia Xu has begun to truly submit to himself.
Everyone talked and laughed, and when they entered the big tent of the Chinese army, Zhang Xiu ordered someone to go to Li Yan's camp to invite Li Yan over.
Not much. Li Yan led a sturdy man to come. After not seeing him for a long time, Li Yan's originally immature face added a little majesty and fortitude, and some beards grew on his mouth, and the demeanor of a general jumped in front of Xu Ji.
Seeing Xu Ji, Li Yan was pleasantly surprised.
The man behind him was staring at Xu Ji.
Without asking Xu Ji, he also knew that this person was probably Wei Yan who was "famous for future generations".
Although his tone was respectful when he met Xu Ji, there was an arrogance that was difficult to hide. This also made Xu Ji affirm his speculation about Wei Yan, this person is good at everything, but there is only one shortcoming. That's too proud.
Xu Ji quietly asked Wei Yan to stand up, and said a few words to him affectionately, but he was thinking about how to subdue Wei Yan's heart.
At this time, all the heavyweights on the Yanzhou side of the Hanzhong front were already present. Naturally, the conversation turned to the enemy.
Xu Jixian put forward the confusion in his heart that he could not understand what the basis of Wang Yun's cooperation with the Hanzhong Army was. And this question is also something that everyone has been thinking about. Before Jia Xu could speak, Wei Yan said on the side: "Is it that Wang Yun wants to abolish the emperor and set up Liu Yan when he sees that the current saint is gone, you must know that Wang Yun and Yuan Shao have been secretly colluding for a long time." It is also normal to have such a bad intention. What's more, Liu Yan is old. The three sons were faint and faint. It is not as good as a human king, which is really beneficial to Wang Yun's control of the imperial court. ”
Everyone nodded. Wei Yan saw that everyone agreed. Very proud.
Zhang Liao shook his head on the side and said: "What Wen Chang said is wrong, others don't know, but I know the people of Zhang Lu and Liu Bei in Hanzhong." These two people are ambitious, and they have long been disobedient to Liu Yan, and it is really fantastical and unrealistic to ask them to serve Liu Yan so hard. Wei Yan wanted to refute when he heard this, but he found that he lacked words, and he knew that Zhang Liao had fought here for a long time, and he had more say than himself in the Hanzhong war.
Xu Ji shouted in his heart, he didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to be arrogant in such a moment.
Thinking of this, Xu Ji smiled and said: "Wen Yuan has won my heart, I am above the court to explain the saint and the civil and military officials like this, but these words have to deceive those outsiders who don't know that General Zhang Xiu and Wen He are our people, Liu Bei and Zhang Lu are extremely ambitious, I don't think they will necessarily lose to Liu Yan's generation." After a pause, he ignored Wei Yan, who was a little embarrassed, and said: "What's more, Wang Yun is a cautious person, and he has never given up hope for the whereabouts of the current opponent. Therefore, Wang Yun did not dare to do it rashly. ”
Everyone nodded their heads, and they felt reasonable.
Wei Yan only knew that Xu Ji was powerful, and he knew that all the generals under Xu Ji's command were hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and it was not necessarily worse than himself to propose a person casually, at least that Zhang Liaodi's opinion was above him. In this way, the arrogance is reined in.
Jia Xu looked at everything coldly, and knew well about the small "battle" just now, and knew Xu Ji's intentions. In order to cooperate with Xu Ji, Jia Xu didn't go around in any circles, and went straight to the point: "The lord is right, Wang Yun is not cooperating with Liu Yan, but putting aside Liu Yan and cooperating directly with Liu Bei and Zhang Lu." ”
Everyone was stunned, they didn't expect Jia Xu to be so sure, and they immediately thought deeply. They were also suspicious, but they were not as sure as Jia Xu, after all, until now they did not know what the basis of Wang Yun and Hanzhong's cooperation was. Jia Xu looked at the people in the big account and said leisurely: "In the key to this matter. Everyone has forgotten one person, and that is Zhang Ren! ”
Everyone was stunned again, not understanding what important role Zhang Ren had in the entire Chang'an and Hanzhong region.
Jia Xu said coldly: "Don't forget that Liu Bei's army is Zhang Ren's place, that is to say, when we talk about Liu Bei, we must consider Zhang Ren's place and Liu Bei together." The crowd nodded. Xu Ji was enlightened, but he couldn't say it clearly for a while. It's uncomfortable to have the answer on your lips and not be able to blurt it out.
Jia Xu said in a deep voice: "Don't forget. Zhang Ren's will is the will of Zhang Ren's entire family, why would Zhang Ren's family provide troops to Liu Bei? There is only one explanation for that. In Yizhou, at least the forces represented by Zhang Ren have become disillusioned with Liu Yan, and they need a new strong leader to serve the interests of Yizhou. ”
That's it! Xu Ji let out a long breath, and what he wanted to say was this: Liu Yan had been abandoned by the family clan in Yizhou, just as the family clan in Jingzhou had abandoned Liu Biao now. Looking at the shocked and incredulous crowd, Jia Xu explained: "Since the Chang'an Rebellion. The whole situation is unfavorable to Liu Yan. Hanzhong and Yizhou were originally the foundation of the struggle for the world, and although 'Yizhou has the spirit of a heavenly son' is an alarmist statement by a warlock, the importance of its strategic location is self-evident. This is a place that everyone wants to hold in their hands. Liu Yan was an unscrupulous thief when he came here. This means that in the future, anyone who wants to get Hanzhong and Yizhou can use this reason to conquer Yizhou, whether it is Xiliangren, Wang Yun, or the lord. Therefore, the family of Yizhou is worried that if it is conquered and occupied by outsiders by force, it will be a huge damage to the interests of their family. The best thing to do, of course, is to find someone else to be the new leader of Yizhou. And this person is Liu Bei! However, everyone had a chance to breathe, and Jia Xu said: "The plans of the Yizhou family did not start today, according to the lord. Zhang Song, a famous scholar in Yizhou, had already joined the alliance in Yuan Shao Gepo, and he visited all the princes when he was in Yuanshu, and he carried the 'Diagram of Entering Shu', which was clearly to find another master for Yizhou. Gradually, the crowd was impressed by Jia Xudi's incisive insights. Listening attentively, Jia Xu continued: "Zhang Song did that to seek the near and far. But Zhang Ren is different, his choice of Liu Bei is really an absolutely wise move, Liu Bei's identity is at least expensive as the emperor's uncle regardless of whether it is true or not. And it is Liu Yu's subordinates, who have always flaunted their loyalty to the Han Dynasty. If Liu Bei is the lord of Yizhou. Then others naturally have nothing to say, let alone easily attack Hanzhong and Yizhou on the charge of crusading against rebellion. ”
Jia Xu smiled as he spoke. He continued: "What's more, Liu Bei has no foundation, half a lifetime is drifting, and he has to be closed, like a lost dog and a fish that has slipped through the net, it is the time to be down, and he is eager to find a place to live, which is very in line with the requirements of the Yizhou family." Xu Ji was convinced in his heart, he really deserved to be Jia Xu, he could guess the truth of the matter at the slightest clue. Why didn't he think of Zhang Song's body? Don't you know a lot about the family? I didn't expect it to be as good as Jia Xu. This old guy is the one who really sees the big picture!
But at the same time, I am also sighing in my heart: Now the Yizhou family is dominated by Liu Bei, although there is an element of utilization, but Liu Bei is originally a hero, and it may not be the dragon abyss to settle here, and it seems that he has added another big enemy. However, Xu Ji is not very afraid of this situation.
This time Liu Bei's entry into Shu is quite different from the historical entry into Shu, and Liu Bei's entry into Shu in history has always faced the struggle between foreign forces in Jingzhou and local forces in Yizhou. With Zhuge Liang's skills, he was unable to resolve it, so he could only suppress the local forces in Jingzhou. This can be seen from the employment strategy in the "Teacher Table", which is nothing more than the fear that the family clan in Yizhou will rise again and control the government, which means that the family clan in Yizhou may surrender to Cao Wei or the Sima clan at any time. Therefore, Zhuge Liang's power is not intended to seize Adou's rights, but precisely because he is afraid that Adou will be betrayed by the local forces in Yizhou. can be too shallow for external forces, and Zhuge Liang has not been able to fully control the overall situation.
The current Liu Bei is different, he has no one else to rely on, he can only fully believe in the family of Yizhou, such Liu Bei is much easier to deal with than Liu Bei in history. Because he could be betrayed by the family at any time.
But the thing that caused Da Shi Ci a headache was. The family clan in Yizhou may not betray Liu Bei when he is against him, after all, his attitude towards the clan is obvious to all. The possibility of Yizhou surrendering without a fight is really rare. Xu Ji was thinking there, but Zhang Xiu suddenly said on the side: "No wonder after the Chang'an Rebellion, Zhang Ren asked Liu Bei to return to Yizhou with him, it turned out that he had already planned to do so at that time."
Xu Ji shook his head and said: "This is not necessarily, although Zhang Ren is smart and alert, but at that time, I was afraid that my thoughts were not enough, in my opinion, it is more likely that Liu Bei took the initiative to ask to follow Zhang Ren to Yizhou for refuge." After all, when he returned to Youzhou, he would face the retaliation of my Yanzhou army, don't forget that Youzhou was already in turmoil at that time, and the Yanzhou army was looking for a reason to start a war with the Youzhou army, and my disappearance was not unrelated to Liu Bei, after all, he was very close to Zhang Ren at that time, so it was different when he returned to Yizhou, after all, Wangyun had already commanded Chang'an at that time, and there was still Hanzhong in between, even if the Yanzhou army wanted to settle accounts with him, it would follow thousands of mountains and rivers. It's better than staying in Youzhou!"
Zhang Liao admired on the side: "Lord Mingjian!" Xu Ji smiled: "It's still Wenhe." Let's listen to him. ”
Jia Xu smiled and said: "This is the idea of the Yizhou family, let's talk about Wang Yun, although he no longer trusts me, but he knows the importance of Hanzhong and Yizhou to him, of course he wants this area to be calmed down, and he wants to get rid of me Jia Xu, this is the basis of the cooperation between the two." After a pause, he said: "If my guess is correct, it must be like this: the inner ghost I planted in Li Dao Guo Yan has been notified to Wang Yunhou now. Wang Yun began to act against me. And this matter did not hide from Ma Teng and Han Sui, and Ma Teng and Han Sui have always been in contact with the Hanzhong army, as a result, the Hanzhong army learned the news and began to actively seek cooperation with Wang Yun, they helped Wang Yun deal with me and General Zhang Xiu, and Wang Yun wanted to hand over the three brothers Liu Zhang to the Hanzhong army to deal with. In this way, Zhang Lu in Hanzhong and the family of Yizhou were sure to force Liu Yan to hand over the location of the Yizhou Assassin History. Because of this, there is such a situation in front of us, I think that the three brothers Liu Zhang must have fallen into the hands of Zhang Lu and Liu Beidi. That's why they suddenly sent troops to attack General Zhang Liao. As for Ma Teng, Han Sui, Li Dao, and Guo Yan, they are all accomplices. For a moment, the hall was extremely quiet, obviously shocked by Jia Xu's analysis.
Halfway, Wei Yancai said: "Dare to ask Mr. Wenhe, aren't Ma Teng and Han Sui friends of Liu Yan?" Will they do it? ”
Jia Xu said indifferently: "Han Sui was originally a person who forgot his righteousness for profit, while Ma Teng has always been jealous and hateful, especially hating people who are not loyal to the Han family. Don't forget, the two of them were still arguing about whether they should help Liu Yan a while ago, so it was normal for Ma Teng to deal with Liu Yan, and it was also very normal for Han Sui to see the wind and turn to support the decision to deal with Liu Yan. ”
Wei Yan's eyes were already full of admiration when he looked at Jia Xu at this time. This kind of intelligence can't catch up with me if I really can't catch up.
Xu Ji sighed: "After such an analysis by Wen He, it is like seeing the blue sky through the clouds and mist, and my heart is happy!" The corners of Jia Xu's mouth suddenly showed a hint of coldness, and he sneered: "So what? This is just what I guessed afterwards, the really powerful person is the person who hid behind Zhang Ren and Liu Bei and planned the overall situation, this person actually found the basis of cooperation between Xiliang, Hanzhong, Liu Bei, Wang Yun, Wang Yun, Wang Yun and others, and played Wang Yun, Ma Teng and others between applause, and found Liu Bei, the new leader of the family in Yizhou, which almost concealed my Jia Xu, which is really amazing! Such an opponent is really hard to find! ”
Everyone thought about it carefully, and they all broke out in a cold sweat. When Xu Ji thought of this mysterious figure who made Jia Xudou admire, his head was a little big, and he said in a deep voice: "Wenhe, do you have any clues about this person?" ”
Jia Xu took a sip of tea and said indifferently: "Lord, I heard that Liu Bei has a trusted military advisor, very young, his name is Pang Tong, and the lord should be him." ”
"What?" Xu Ji shouted in a lost voice.
"Phoenix Chick" Pang Tong, he actually entered Sichuan! And become your own enemy!
If he is in one continent, then his future journey to conquer Yizhou and Hanzhong will become extremely difficult. (To be continued......)
