Chapter 825: Breakthrough

Guo Jia and Wang Xu's analysis of Xun Yu made the civil and military in the tent amazed, and when Guo Jia suddenly got up, everyone also reacted.

After a moment of silence, Pan Jun, the governor of the Taiwei Mansion, took the lead in speaking out: "Cao Cao used to be the king, and his secret intentions for many years were revealed to the world, Xun Yu was angry and opposed, and he has lost power in Wei for a long time, although because of his prestige and meritorious service in Wei, Cao Cao has never harmed him, but he has also been suspended and idle at home, it can be said that the hope of reviving the Han has been cut off, so what reason does Xun Chen have to help Xiliang for so long?" ”

"Could it be that Xun Yu is secretly plotting, intending to use the power of Liangzhou to turn the tables?" Yan Liang took over.

Zhuge Jun, who joined the army, shook his head instantly: "Impossible, the Liangzhou forces have no good impression of the Han Dynasty, and Xun Yu is a loyal and virtuous minister of the Han Dynasty, and it is impossible to really lead the Liangzhou army to seize the world, he understands that if the Liangzhou army wins the world, let alone the Han Dynasty, it is not even known whether the Han people can still be the masters, and they will not be the sinners!" ”

"So what is Xun Chen still for?" Zhang Jing answered.

Turning around, everyone finally returned to the original question, looking at each other, but no one could come up with an answer.

After a while, Guo Jiacai looked at Jiang Xu and asked solemnly: "Bo Yi, I don't know what you thought of this Xun Chen when you were in Liangzhou?" ”

Jiang Xu lowered his head and thought for a moment, then replied: "Talented!" Both military and political are compatible! Silent! I don't like to socialize with others! Be cautious! He has worked in Liangzhou for many years, but he is very low-key, never fights for merit, does not fight for power, loves money, and has won the trust of the Ma family! ”

"Love money? Don't like to socialize? ”

Guo Jia was puzzled: "Xun Chen regarded money as dung back then, how could he love money?" He is eloquent. I like to talk about world affairs with friends. How can you not like to associate with others? In my opinion. It must be pretended! Use the love of money to make others mistakenly recognize what he wants and hide his true purpose! I don't like to be involved in relationships because I don't want to be tied up by feelings, and at the same time, I am worried that I will lose too many words and I don't want to expose people, so I try not to say too many meaningless words. ”

"I don't know about this subordinate, but it's true in Liangzhou!" Jiang Xu nodded.

"Then what has happened to him in the past two years, such as Cao Cao being called the queen!" Guo Jia asked again.

"Change?" Jiang Xu frowned and pondered. "It's not a big change, but if you think about it. I really feel that since Cao Cao became the king, he seems to have been more silent and less talkative over the years, and he often wanders and sighs! By the way, not long after Cao Cao became king, Xun Chen seemed to have been seriously ill and recuperated at home for nearly two months! ”

As he spoke, Jiang Xu's expression became a little hesitant. "There is another thing, but the subordinates are not sure that it is true, and they don't know whether to talk about it!"

"But it doesn't hurt to say it!" Wang Xu waved his hand.

"It is rumored that Beigong Boyu is very good at fighting. However, since returning to the Shun Ma family, he has never had the opportunity to lead the army to fight. Most of them hold positions in the DPRK, although the power position is not small, they have never had military power, although the Ma family treats them well, but many people privately rumored that in fact, the Ma family is very jealous of this person. This time, the king of Chu went on a large-scale expedition to the west, and all the defense lines of the Ma family were under pressure, and the generals were insufficient, so they had to use Beigong Boyu, and let Xun Chen follow, one was to assist, and the other was also to contain! ”

As Jiang Xu finished speaking, Wang Xu and Guo Jia looked at each other for a moment, and they both saw some thoughts in each other's eyes.

Wang Xu quickly turned around and said, "Hmm! Then today's military discussion will end here, and Liao Hua will also postpone sending troops to the pavilion, and after I think about it carefully, I will make a decision! Jiang Xu will come to my tent later, and the rest of the people will disperse! ”

"No!" The ministers responded with a bang.

Because Jiang Xu suddenly reported a lot of secret information from the high-level in Liangzhou, Wang Xu had more thoughts, and after the military discussion was dispersed, he took Guo Jia back to his account.

As soon as the two stepped into Wang Xu's camp, Guo Jia's heavy face became slightly excited.

"My lord! If what Jiang Xu said is true, then Xun Chen must have deliberately voted for Chu! ”

"Huh! I don't think you think so? Wang Xu smiled.

"Otherwise, I can't find any other explanation!" Guo Jia's demeanor was calm and conclusive: "Judging from Jiang Xu's description, coupled with his subordinates' understanding of Xun Chen, he is definitely not sincere in assisting Liangzhou, I already know his skills very well many years ago, and it is definitely not like that, let alone today after years of tempering?" Besides, he has been working in Liangzhou for so many years, and we didn't even know about it from Jiang Xu's mouth until today, which shows that he doesn't show up in front of anyone at all except for high-level directors on weekdays, otherwise why haven't even his subordinates heard of it? ”

"If it is only said that the Ma family has the intention to hide these capable people, and the news of the control is spread, in the hope that they can be taken by surprise in this inevitable war, so that our Chu State is not prepared to deal with it, then it will definitely not be possible to not even reveal their identities. Like Jiang Xu, Jiang Yu, Beigong Boyu and others, maybe the lord didn't know about it because of his busy state affairs, but his subordinates have been here for many years, and they finally know them, after all, these people will always walk around in Liangzhou, and they will have relatives and friends, but because the other party intends to hide secrets, they can't be sure what their talents are! ”

"But Xun Chen's affairs, his subordinates have never even heard of it, so there is only one reason, he himself fully cooperates with the Ma family's strategy, and cooperates to the point that he doesn't move around, doesn't make friends, and doesn't see anyone other than necessary. The minister said that there may be such a person, but it will never be Xun Chen, you must know that his personality and ability are biased towards planning and good words, and he does not know people widely, how can he really give full play to his best talents? ”

"There are so many reasons, it is enough to affirm that Xun Chen must not be sincere in serving Liangzhou, proving that his subordinates speculate that he must help Xun Yu and want to rejuvenate the Han Dynasty! But now, Cao Cao has been the king for a long time, exposing his true heart, Xun Yu has lost power, depression has become ill, idle at home, and the last qi of the Han Dynasty has also been dissipated, so Xun Chen has no reason to continue to serve in Liangzhou! ”

"With this as the premise, then if the Ma family didn't stare at him too much, with Xun Chen's wisdom, it would be easy to get out with his family. If the Ma family supervises him very strictly, then if they want to get out, they can only seek help from others. The second is that the heart is exhausted, and he resigns and returns home! ”

But according to Jiang Xu, he has never resigned, so it must be the first two, and now that Xun Chen is in Liangzhou, there are only two places that can accommodate him. A Wei State Cao Cao. The second is the state of Chu. However, Xun Yu has fallen into such a field today. As his own brother, Xun Chen went to Cao Cao, how could it be reasonable? With Cao Cao's wisdom and suspicion, it will soon be possible to deduce that Xun Chen has secretly connected with Xun Yu and become a Han dynasty over the years. How do you get a good death? ”

"It must be known that Cao Cao has not moved Xun Yu so far, entirely because Xun You is still alive, and Xun You was quite supportive of his move to become king. Cao Cao didn't want Xun You to have any more resentment in his heart. The director lost two arms one after another, so he only put Xun Yu under house arrest and made him live for a long time. ”

Therefore, Xun Chen is still quiet, serving Liangzhou for many years, or because it is difficult to get out, he is waiting for the opportunity for the lord to conquer Liangzhou, or it is similar to when Fa Zheng served Yizhou. He wants to bring merit to Chu! ”

When Guo Jia's voice fell, Wang Xu nodded in agreement. It doesn't seem surprising.

"That's true! It's a pity that I still can't figure it out, since Xun Chen is so loyal to the Han Dynasty, why did he choose Chu State at this moment? ”

"Lord, he has no choice!"

Guo Jia smiled and shook his head: "When a person's dreams and beliefs that he has spent decades chasing are suddenly shattered, then he has only two choices, one is to give up and spend the rest of his life alone!" The second is to make a new choice! Xun Chen is loyal to the Han Dynasty, and he has paid so much over the years, but in the end? Xun Yu failed, failed to see through Cao Cao, failed to restrain Cao Cao. But Xun Yu is at least enough to go down in history and be famous for eternity, but Xun Chen will inevitably be completely submerged! ”

"From Xun Chen's actions, it can be seen that he is not a pedantic and inflexible stubborn person, when he exerts his last strength, he has exhausted half of his life's energy, the Han will still die, so why not assist Ming Jun to create a new prosperous era? Now that the state of Chu has taken advantage of the general trend, if it wants to use the rest of its life to make a career, why not? He did not resign in Liangzhou, and he did not remain incognito, which is enough to explain a qiē. ”

Guo Jia's words greatly increased Wang Xu's confidence, and he said decisively: "Okay! Since you're so sure, what do you do now? ”

"According to the minister, if Xun Chen really has the heart to surrender, he will not trust others, but only his subordinates!"

"In this case, you really have to go to the street pavilion for a walk!"

"It won't take too long, it only takes three days, and the subordinates will be able to give an accurate reply to the lord!"

"Good! Then the rest of the matter will be held off for the time being, and then the matter will be settled! ”

"No!" Guo Jia responded to the order and arched his hand: "Without further ado, my subordinates will leave!" ”

"Let Dian Wei go with you, be careful!"

"The lord is safe, and his subordinates will not be hasty!"

Guo Jia said goodbye to Wang Xu, got up, and only Dian Wei secretly accompanied dozens of masters and quietly went to the street pavilion......

At night, Jiang Xu also came to Wang Xu's tent according to the order.

"Bo Yi! Sit! Wang Xu's smile was gentle.

"Thank you, King Chu!"

After all, Jiang Xu had just arrived, and when he saw Wang Xu alone at this time, he was a little restrained.

Wang Xu noticed that his body was tense and his forehead was sweating, and he couldn't help but tease and reassure: "Bo Yi, what's the matter?" Am I scary? Why are you so nervous? It's just you and me, but relax! I'm just asking about something! ”

"I implore the King of Chu to make it clear, if his subordinates know, they will tell them all!" Jiang Xu still couldn't relax, and his words were stiff.

Wang Xu was helpless, knowing that he was not familiar with it, and he couldn't overcome his worries for a while, but he didn't talk much nonsense.

"Then I'll be blunt, in your opinion, where are the most easily broken defensive lines in Liangzhou? Where is the hardest to breach? ”

Jiang Xu didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly replied: "If you only look at the difficulty of attacking on the battlefield, Anding is the most difficult to break, followed by the defense line laid by General Pang De in the south, followed by Jieting, then the coalition army of various ethnic groups in the north, and finally Longguan. ”

"Oh? Do you think Longguan is the easiest to break? Why? Wang Xuqi said.

"Because Liangzhou has no troops in the middle of the road, Longguan seems to be dangerous, but in fact, there are not many garrison troops, and it is just a bluff, and most of the troops are in the street pavilion."

"What about Liangzhou's main combat power?" Wang Xu frowned.

"Most of them are in the south, and the strategy set by Liangzhou is to concentrate superior forces and first destroy General Zhang Liao's troops and horses in Wudu, and the troops in the middle are not much, and a large part of them are stationed in Anding, to guard against the Chu army led by Xu Shengsuo, who is stationed in Qi County. It's just that although Longguan is the easiest to break, it is also relatively speaking, if it is really attacked, it is not so easy. This is only what the subordinates know, and there are still a few secret teams, even the subordinates don't know where to move! Now that his subordinates have been captured, Yi Ma Yizhi is cautious, and he will redeploy, even if he does not know that the end has been surrendered, it will be the same! ”

"If that's the case, then the information really doesn't mean much!"

Wang Xu shook his head, since there was no meaning, he didn't ask any more, and instead smiled and said, "Bo Yi, then do you have a way to persuade your fellow brother Jiang Yi to come down?" ”

"Yes! It is consistent with my heart, but because of the Ma family's hospitality, if it is pointed out with righteousness, it should be lowered! Saying that, Jiang Xu shook his head again: "But it's hard now!" (To be continued......)
