Chapter 271: The Beginning of the War (I)

After the failed robbery last night, Niu Fu lost more than 8,000 people.

Of course, this is the result of Xu Ji's mercy.

According to Jia Xu's plan, Xu Ji was not in a hurry to attack Niu Fu's army, but just sent Xu Huang and Le Yi to take turns to call the enemy and scold the formation every day, and did their best to insult them.

Although Niu Fu didn't know the depth of Leyi, he knew Xu Huang's heroism, so he naturally hung up the battle free card, but he didn't go out behind closed doors.

Xu Huang is also a smart person, seeing this, he simply discussed with Leyi, the two of them made a full set of plays, pretended to be restless, and went to the camp with the army, Niu Fu just ordered the soldiers to shoot with bows and crossbows, forcing Xu Huang and the two to retreat.

Xu Huang was not too coercive, and when he saw the other party like this, he just led the army to shout and curse in the distance.

Niu Fu saw that Xu Huang was not many, but he was so difficult, and he was deeply worried.

During this period, some of Niu Fu's generals were extremely unconvinced by Xu Huang, and invited them to fight, and Niu Fu naturally sent these people to fight in desperation, but none of them were Xu Huang's generals.

Only then did everyone realize that Xu Huang's stabbing was not fortunate to hurt Hu Chi'er.

Therefore, in the next few days, Xu Huang blindly begged the enemy and scolded the enemy, and did not really fight.

At this time, the only thing that made Niu Fu feel a little at ease was that Hu Chi'er's internal injuries were healed.

At this time, Niu Fu had already learned that there was absolutely no way to repel Xu Huang with his own strength, so he listened to Fan Chou's advice and sent someone to Zhongmu to inform Li Dao Guo Yan and ask them to return to the army as soon as possible. Rescue Shaanxi County.

Hu Chi'er's body gradually recovered, and soon after, Li and Guo Yan returned to Shaanxi County with 50,000 elite soldiers from their headquarters.

Niu Fu saw that his strength had increased greatly. There was a great increase in confidence.

So they feasted in the army.

During the banquet, Niu Fu said to Li Dao and Guo Yan: "Two brothers, the prime minister has been killed by a traitor. Wang Yun's old puppet reversed black and white. It is even more intolerable to collude with the Yanzhou army to attack us. Now that we are united, we must not let go of Xu Huang in front of us. ”

Li Wei snorted coldly: "Dashuai, don't blame me for growing up other people's ambition and destroying my own prestige, in my opinion, if it is a simple breakthrough, it is not difficult, but if you want to destroy Xu Huang, it will not be so easy." I advised Dashuai to dismiss this idea. ”

Niu Fu didn't expect that this subordinate who used to be obedient to his words would actually oppose his opinion, and he couldn't help but be stunned, and his heart was furious, but he knew that it was the time to employ people, so he couldn't start infighting first, and then divert the topic and talk about other things.

Fan Chou watched coldly, knowing that Niu Fu's influence in the army has been greatly reduced, and he is now powerless to control these military bosses in front of him. I couldn't help but start secretly planning for myself.

Hu Chi'er didn't have so much scheming. He was overjoyed to see so many, and the wound he had been wounded two days ago had made the murderous man feel like he was in the dark.

Once this Hu Chi'er is happy, she is only interested in two things, one is a woman. One is to kill.

Now that he is injured, naturally he can't touch a woman, of course he will kill someone. He ordered the soldiers in the army to arrest all the Wuwei people in Niu Fu's army. and they will be beheaded. Of course, it was because he couldn't vent his hatred for Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu, so he killed Wuwei people here to vent his personal anger.

A few days ago, Niu Fu was still blocking this matter. At this time, there was silence.

Li Dao Guo Yan was different on the surface, but he was furious in his heart, because this matter was coming to the two of them, you must know that Jia Xu was seconded by the two from Zhang Ji, and at that time, the two of them strongly recommended Jia Xu to Niu Fu, saying that this person was amazing and gorgeous, and he had the opportunity to make plans and gods, and asked Niu Fu to ask Zhang Ji for this person.

Although Niu Fu and Li Ru are brothers-in-law, but the two are not harmonious, although they are both literate and martial, but they are fighting openly and secretly, Niu Fu has always been at a disadvantage, so he will use the excuse to go out to garrison troops, which is actually to avoid Li Ru's suppression.

At that time, the reason why Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu lent their beloved strategist Jia Xu to the two of them was also to use Niu Fu's strength to fight Li Ru. is even hinting to Li Ru that Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu are not easy to deal with.

Who knows that the situation of Lu Dao and the next turn, there will be so many things, although Li Dao and Guo Yan also hate Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu, but Niu Fu is doing this now, which makes the two even more unbearable.

At that moment, the two of them were silent, quietly watching everything happen in front of them.

In a short time, more than a dozen Xiliang people were pushed into the big tent, and before they could struggle, they were pressed to the ground.

Hu Chi'er jumped up and scolded: "Grandma is a bear! The people of Wuwei are all bad breeds and traitors to his grandmother! Lao Tzu will kill a Wuwei person every day in the future! ”

With that, he drew the sword from his waist and strode towards one of the soldiers.

The soldier of Naxiliang was so frightened that his face was pale, like a pile of mud, and he fell to the ground trembling.

"Humph!" A cold snort came, the voice was not loud or small, just enough for everyone to hear clearly, with countless anger and disdain in the voice.

Everyone followed the voice, but saw that the person who made the voice was a tall Xiliang soldier, who looked white and clean, but this person's face was covered with many scars, which was daunting.

This person is naturally Jia Cheng, a fine worker sent by Jia Xu.

Hu Chi'er was furious when she heard this, and immediately jumped in front of Jia Cheng, and said viciously: "What are you laughing at?" It's okay, I'll cut you out today. After that, he wanted to stab Jia Cheng to death with a sword.

"Wait!" A sharp male voice came, and the person who spoke was a treacherous Li Dao, and everyone was stunned and looked at Li Dao.

Li Wei said in a deep voice: "I don't think this person is very human, listening to his laughter seems to have a deep meaning, we might as well listen to him." ”

Hu Chi'er looked at Niu Fu with a look of anticipation, Niu Fu knew that he couldn't make too much trouble with Li Wei, after all, everyone still had to cooperate, so he hurriedly put on a smile on his face and said: "General Li is reasonable, let's listen to what this person is laughing at." ”

Jia Cheng had long known that he would be safe, so he sneered: "What can I laugh at?" I'm just a little person, and it's not a pity to die, I'm afraid that the generals are already dying. But I don't know it, it's really ridiculous and pitiful! ”

Niu Fu and the others looked at each other when they heard this. I didn't expect the person in front of me to say such things.

Guo Yan's face sank and said: "If you want to live, you will start talking nonsense, it seems that you can't be left ...... in the world."

Jia Chengha said with a smile: "How can I be a person who deceives people." Now Xu Huang's army is just a trick to disturb the enemy, Xu Huang is now waiting for the Yanzhou army to arrive, if the Yanzhou army comes here, we will all die without a place to be buried. ”

Niu Fu and the others' faces immediately changed, because what the person in front of them said was very reasonable.

Thinking of this, Niu Fu hurriedly ordered someone to loosen Jia Cheng's ties, and ordered someone to escort those Wuwei people in the tent outside the tent first, and then poured a bowl of hot wine for Jia Cheng, and ordered Jia Cheng to drink it first.

This is the look on Jia Cheng's face that is a little better. He said calmly to the people in front of him: "Everyone, the villain naturally knows why General Hu Chi'er wants to kill us and others, except for traitors like Jia Xu and Zhang Xiu, it is really embarrassing for me to be a traitor. But if General Hu Chi'er kills us today, won't it create an illusion that I, the people of Xiliang, will only kill each other? Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu have already killed General Xu Rong, how can we become ordinary with these two people and be willing to degenerate? ”

Everyone in the big tent who said these words immediately nodded, even Hu Chi'er was no exception.

Li Dao thought of this. Only then did he ask, "Then what is the matter of Xu Huangjun that you said?" ”

Jia Cheng said calmly: "Wang Yun has announced to the world that Yanzhou will send troops to assist Wang Yun in confronting our army. It is said that the army mobilized this time is the Gaoshun army stationed in Jizhou in the Yanzhou army, but the problem is that we have no way to know whether this news is true or false. The Yanzhou army likes to use intrigue and trickery the most, and perhaps it is the Yanzhou army that is really mobilized, who knows when they will arrive? If they kill suddenly. Where do we have a chance to escape? We don't need to deny the strength of the Yanzhou army. ”

Jia Cheng's words made everyone's faces change uncontrollably.

Jia Cheng looked at Niu Fu and said in a deep voice: "Although Xu Huang looks very rough on the surface. But he was a very wise general. ”

Niu Fu nodded and said, "That's true," and then explained the situation that night.

Jia Cheng sneered: "Actually, this is just Xu Huang's plan, the purpose is to make the lord dare not act rashly." Sit back here and wait for death, what Xu Huang said to Dashuai that night was just an alarmist and intimidating, don't take it seriously, and the many harassments these days are just bluffs. If Xu Huang really had that kind of ability, the general would have died on the spot that night. Isn't their purpose to be handsome? How can there be such a good opportunity not to let you go, but there is a reason to ask for the enemy and scold the enemy these days? ”

When everyone thought about it, it was really like that.

Niu Fu was now persuaded by the person in front of him, and couldn't help but humbly ask: "If it is according to the opinion of the gentleman, what should we do now?" ”

Jia Cheng was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly organized the words that Jia Xu taught him, and said in a deep voice: "The people of Liangzhou in Chang'an City want to punish the people of Liangzhou, and the Yanzhou army is huge, and it is invincible, it is better to lead the people to the west, where the troops are collected, to attack Chang'an, to avenge Dong Gong, fortunately, to serve the country to conquer the world, if it is not good, it will not be left behind." After all, Xiliang is the foundation of our army, as long as our army arrives in Xiliang, isn't it calling for wind and rain and doing whatever you want? ”

Everyone was stunned, but they didn't expect Jia Cheng to mean to take the initiative. It's just a pretty good idea.

Fan Chouzhi knew that the morale of the army was extremely low now, and it was really not easy to go on a long-distance expedition at this time, so he couldn't help frowning and said: "But now that the army is disheartened, it is really dangerous for us to send troops to attack Chang'an." ”

Jia Cheng learned enough of Jia Xu's appearance, and said with a cold smile: "What's so difficult about this, we only need to spread rumors in the army, saying that Wang Yun is ready to kill the Xiliang people, and if you think that the soldiers of our army will fight to the death." ”

After a pause, he said: "Although Xu Huang is brave, but our purpose is to go straight to Chang'an, no matter how powerful Xu Huang is, it is impossible for him to block our tens of thousands of horses alone, and his army is even more pitiful." Isn't it good for us to rush up and pass by, and to avoid confrontation with it? If we stagnate, until the Yanzhou soldiers are here, we will regret it too late. ”

For a moment the hall was silent, and no more talking.

After a long time, Li Dao let out a sigh of relief and said, "Who is under the feet?" How could there be such a conspiracy? In my opinion, it is not under Jia Xu. ”

Jia Cheng knew that the other party had this question, so he pretended to be indifferent and said: "My name is Wang Mei, and I am Jia Xu's villager. I used to be friends, but now I can't wait to eat them alive! Jia Xu is selfish. Wolf-hearted, I don't remember my affection for him in my early years. actually harmed me in secret, when Jia Xu resigned from the official West and returned to the west, I walked with him, and met the Di people on the road, and dozens of us were killed by the Di people. In order to escape, Jia Xu lied to them that he was the nephew of Taiwei Duan Gui, but he betrayed me and made me a slave in the Di people for many years, and I took the opportunity to escape. I heard that Jia Xu, a thief, was working in the marshal, so he joined the army and wanted to take revenge. Because he was afraid of being recognized by him, he disfigured himself, but who knew that Lu Daojia had a big life and actually ran away. ”

Everyone suddenly realized, but Jia Cheng was secretly laughing in his heart, the real scene was of course the opposite.

Guo Yan said on the side: "The ancient knights are no different. ”

Jia Cheng said: "Where do I have such a hero? In fact, I am also for myself, if I can break through Chang'an. I can go to Jia Xu for revenge. ”

The people in the big tent are all fierce and cruel people, all of them are selfish and self-interested, and they all hate Jia Xu deeply, so Jia Cheng's words immediately won the favor and trust of everyone. When he landed, everyone was close to Jia Cheng. Especially Hu Chi'er.

And the dozen or so Wuwei people fled because of Jia Cheng's relationship.

This Jia Chengnai is a very alert person, and because he has been influenced by Jia Xu for a long time. There is naturally a set of marching and fighting, although he is not a first-class strategist. But it's still easy to talk on paper and fool these stupid people in front of you.

What's more, Jia Xu has already given Jia Cheng enough information. Jia Cheng favored everyone's temper and character, which made everyone admire his wisdom very much.

In just a short period of time, Jia Cheng became a new generation of military advisors in the Niu Auxiliary Army.

As a result, Niu Fu's army prepared to break through under Jia Cheng's suggestion.

The next day, Xu Huang came out as usual to fight against the enemy.

Niu Fu didn't even say hello, and led the generals of all sizes to directly rush and kill.

As soon as Xu Huang saw it, he knew that Jia Cheng's strategy had succeeded, so he hurriedly pretended to be unstoppable and evacuated with the army.

At this time, the Xiliang soldiers under Niu Fu had already heard the rumors spread in the army, and knew that the only way for them to survive was to kill back to Xiliang, so they were extraordinarily brave when they rushed to kill.

Therefore, Niu Fu's "breakthrough" was very smooth.

After this group of rabble rushed over, Xu Ji, Xu Huang, and Le Yi rode out of the hiding place.

Looking at the dust that had not been dispersed for a long time by the Xiliang soldiers, Le Yi grinned and said, "His grandmother's, I didn't expect them to be so brave in escaping for their lives."

Xu Ji said with a smile: "Anyway, Jia Xu's strategy is half the success. ”

Xu Huang nodded and said, "Lord, this time you can tell me what kind of tricks Jia Xu is playing, right?" ”

Xu Ji said with a smile: "If Wenhe wants to attack Hanzhong and Xishu, he must beware of Han Sui and Ma Teng in Xiliang, these two people are close friends with Liu Yannai, Ma Teng is loyal and righteous, Han Sui is ambitious, if he knows Daowen and attacks Xishu and Hanzhong, these two will definitely besiege Wenhe from behind." Wenhe saw through this point, so he came up with this strategy, hoping that Niu Fu and others would go west and return to Xiliang, so that the old and new forces would inevitably collide, and at that time Xiliang himself would be in a mess, where would he still have the leisure to manage Hanzhong and Xishu? ”

Xu Huang suddenly sighed, "This strategy is really vicious. But what if Niu Fu and the others break through Chang'an? ”

Xu Ji said with a smile: "Gongming is really a wise general. What I thought of was something in history, Li Dao and Guo Yan really broke through Chang'an, but at that time, Jia Xu was on the side of Li Dao and others, thinking of this, Xu Ji smiled and said: "But Gongming rest assured, there is Wenhe in Chang'an, and he will control the situation." Moreover, there are Lu Bu, Zhang Xiu, Hua Xiong, Zhang Liao and others, Chang'an City can be said to be impregnable, no problem. Wen He should know the importance of Chang'an to our army in the future. ”

Xu Huang nodded, and couldn't help but say, "But my lord, is Mr. Jia Xu alone blocking three sides?" ”

Xu Jiha said with a smile: "The vicissitudes of the sea show the true character of a hero, Wang Yun is now obedient to Wen Heyan, needless to say, Lu Bu is even more obedient to him; Wen He also said in the letter: Ma Teng and Han Sui will break up sooner or later, there are contradictions in the Niu auxiliary army, and it is also a situation of fragmentation, as long as Jia Cheng does what he tells him, Xiliang will be in chaos sooner or later, and it will not be too late to clean them up after we are free in the future; As for Hanzhong and Xishu, Zhang Lu and Liu Yan are harmonious on the surface, but there are also rifts, and Wen He said in the letter that he has his own way to deal with these two people. ”

Le Yi asked questioned: "Zhang Lu and Liu Yan also have contradictions?" ”

A mysterious smile appeared on Xu Ji's face, and he said softly, "Didn't I tell you?" Just wait patiently and watch the show! ”

Le Yi nodded, knowing that it was useless to think about it, and then asked, "By the way, my lord, what are we doing next?" ”

Xu Ji looked at Xu Huang and said with a smile: "I've endured Yuan Shao for a long time, and I'll cut him now, hum!" Now that there are two armies in Bingzhou, Zhang Yang and Wang Kuang, obeying Yuan Shao's orders, how can I let them go? ”

Xu Huang looked at Xu Ji in a daze and said, "Lord, are the two of us going with four thousand people?" ”

Xu Jiha smiled and said, "Why don't you think about it, I didn't order the forbidden army to stop moving south and west after receiving Jia Xu's letter?" Thought I was really going to deal with Ushisuke? Hmph, I gave a secret order early to ask Gao Shun's army to gather in Bingzhou to see where Zhang Yang and Wang Kuang can go! ”

Xu Huang looked at Xu Ji and couldn't say a word.

Xu Ji had been planning how to pacify the north earlier. (To be continued......)
