"It doesn't have to cost too much!" Liu Wei was worried that it would cost too much in the Hetao, and Xu Shu hurriedly said to him: "Your Highness only needs to exempt the Hetao from taxes, and each family will reclaim the land and own it by each family. ”

Holding his chin in his hand and staring at Xu Shu without blinking his eyes for a long time, Liu Wei finally showed a smile on his face and said to Xu Shu: "When the Huns are finished, this matter will be handed over to Yuan Zhi to deal with!" ”

"No!" hugged his fists and bowed in response, and Xu Shu was speechless.

"Let's hang that floor class for two days, and after two days, this king will summon you again!" As he spoke, Liu Wei stood up and said to Xu Shu and Chen Gong: "Two military advisors, you must pay close attention to the movements of the Cao army these days, the Huns are just an itch on the skin, and Cao Cao is a big problem!" ”

"No!" Xu Shu and Chen Gong got Liu Wei's order, stood up together, and responded again with their fists clenched.

Liu Wei and Cao Cao competed for supremacy in the Jianghuai Valley, and the Xiongnu went to humble themselves to cause chaos, which just added a little more trouble to Liu Wei.

Xia Cai, which is only dozens of miles away from Shouchun, has been closed since Cao Ren's army started from Shouchun, and the people in the city are also strictly forbidden to go out of the city.

Jia Xu, who was originally going to return to Luoyang from Xuzhou, happened to receive an order from Liu Wei asking him to help let go of Cai.

When he came to Xia Cai, Jia Xu found that the entire Xia Cai City was crowded with the Qin army, and tens of thousands of Qin troops were already fighting with equipment, just waiting for the Cao army to arrive.

Just after inspecting the defense of Xiacai, Jia Xu already had a plan in his heart.

The city of Xia Cai is strong, and there are many soldiers in the city, even if the Cao army is three or two hundred thousand people, I am afraid that it will be difficult to break through for a while and a half.

The defense of this city is not worth Liu Wei's bothering at all.

The reason why Liu Wei bothered was because he lost Shouchun, and Cao's army occupied the main road of Jianghuai and cut off the road from Great Qin to Tongtong.

On the Xiacai city wall, every three steps, there will be a heavily armed Qin soldier standing straight in front of the battlements, his eyes staring at the outside of the city.

The battle flags of the Qin army planted on the battlements were like thick black clouds, flying fiercely in the wind.

Holding the battlements with both hands, Jia Xu frowned tightly, looking at the wilderness outside the city, and had not spoken for a long time.

The two soldiers of the Qin army stood straight behind Jia Xu, their hands on the hilt of their swords, looking at the wilderness outside the city like him.

Just as Jia Xu was staring at the wilderness outside the city and thinking about something, there was a sound of unhurried footsteps behind him.

"Zhonglang!" The footsteps stopped behind Jia Xu, and what came into his ears was a deep and magnetic sound.

Hearing the voice behind him, Jia Xu turned his face and glanced back.

What appeared in his sight was Zhang Liao, who was the first to lead the army into Xia Cai.

Since serving Liu Wei, Zhang Liao has not made much achievements, and now Lu Bu has also entered Xia Cai, every time he sees Lu Bu, Zhang Liao always feels a little unhappy in his heart.

Fortunately, today's Lu Bu doesn't care much about the things of the past, and since he led the army into Xia Cai with Tai Shici, Lu Bu has never looked for the incident of Zhang Liao.

Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses gathered in Xia Cai, and all the people added up to more than 50,000 people.

Such a huge army, if it is scattered in Xia Cai City, it is not too much, but once it is gathered in one place, it is a force strong enough to destroy the withering and decaying.

Several generals are on duty in turns these days, and today is the day when Zhang Liao is on duty.

Jia Xu stood on the city wall for a long time, Zhang Liao already felt that something was wrong, but he didn't immediately go to interrupt Jia Xu's train of thought, until a long time later, seeing that Jia Xu had not meant to leave, he stepped forward to say hello.

Seeing Zhang Liao, Jia Xu hurriedly raised his fists and arched towards Zhang Liao and greeted: "General Wenyuan!" ”

"The last general has seen Zhonglang standing here for a long time, and I don't know what he is thinking?" hugged his fist and gave Jia Xu a salute back, and Zhang Liao asked him with a smile.

"A certain person is thinking about himself!" Turning his face to the outside of the city again, Jia Xu said to Zhang Liao: "Cao Ren's army has already opened from Shouchun two days ago, but why is it still just wandering around Shouchun until now?" ”

"What do you mean by ......?" Hearing Jia Xu's words, Zhang Liao said suspiciously: "Cao Ren or just feigned to capture Cai?" ”

"It's possible!" Nodding, Jia Xu then said to Zhang Liao: "But the current shape shì, the feint attack may also become the main attack, and the situation is very unfavorable to our army......

"Cao Ren's army is nothing more than tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, how can the situation be unfavorable to our army?" Jia Xu's words made Zhang Liao feel very disapproving, and he said to Jia Xu: "His Royal Highness did not ask us to defeat Shouchun, our army only needs to defend Xia Cai, and Cao Ren will definitely return in vain." ”

"Your Highness didn't want us to break Shouchun!" Jia Xu smiled slightly, shook his head, turned to face Zhang Liao and said, "But the general doesn't want to attack Xia Cai?" ”

Asked by Jia Xu, Zhang Liao was stunned for a moment, his eyelids lowered slightly, and he pondered for a moment before asking Jia Xu: "Then with Zhonglang's plan, what should our army do to break that Shouchun?" ”

"Lure the enemy deep, dark Chen Cang!" Looking at each other with Zhang Liao, Jia Xu lowered his voice and said to Zhang Liao: "Lure the Cao army to the outskirts of Xia Cai, our army confronts the Cao army outside the city, and mainly attacks the Cao army's baggage, making them tired of guarding the army's food. In addition, there is another army sneaking to Shouchun, pretending to be Cao Jun to deceive the city to send military rations quickly, and when the Cao army in the city opens the city, the army rushes in, and Shouchun can be obtained! ”

"Zhonglang's plan, but it will make the people of Shouchun suffer a lot!" Staring at Jia Xu in astonishment, Zhang Liao's mouth opened slightly, and he was stunned for a moment before he said: "In this way, the main Cao army will have no intention of dealing too much with our army to defend the military rations, and the Cao army in Shouchun City must have insufficient troops, and when they learn that our army is attacking the main force of the army, they will definitely step up the looting, so that the people of Shouchun will be sad!" ”

"In order to have a long spring, the people can just endure some hardships!" Turning around and looking out of the city again, Jia Xu sighed lightly and said, "It's just that in this way, if His Highness knows, he will definitely blame the general and a certain ......."

"What Zhonglang said is actually not bad!" Standing behind Jia Xu, Zhang Liao hesitated for a moment, and then said to Jia Xu: "Your Highness is sometimes too kind-hearted. Wen Hou was defeated in Shouchun, and he must be angry in his heart, General Ziyi and the last general had never fought with Cao's army since they set out on the expedition, and they were also depressed in their hearts. It is imperative to seize Shouchun, and as for His Royal Highness, he will be charged with Zhonglang at the end of the year! ”

Turning to look at Zhang Liao, Jia Xu nodded, and did not say that it was still not okay to travel.

Seeing him nodding, Zhang Liao did not hesitate, and clasped his fists at him and said: "The last general will go here to ask Wen Hou and General Ziyi to discuss the attack on Shouchun, and a little later, he will invite someone to invite Zhonglang." ”

"Someone is only waiting for news from the general in this city!" hugged his fists and saluted Zhang Liao back, Jia Xu responded, and looked at Zhang Liao who turned to leave.

After Zhang Liao left, Jia Xu turned around and looked out of the city again.

The city wall he was standing on was facing the direction of Shouchun, and the loss of Shouchun cast a layer of gloom on the Qin army and even the entire Great Qin.

If you can capture Shouchun......

Looking at the direction of Shouchun, Jia Xu faintly felt a burst of excitement in his heart.

Guo Jia is not in the area of Xia Cai and Shouchun, even if he has the ability to strategize, it is impossible for Jia Xu to grasp the battlefield more easily than Jia Xu, who is on the battlefield.

Sitting in Xia Cai, if he can't fight Guo Jia who is far away in Xudu, Jia Xu will really be ashamed in the future, and he will not dare to give Liu Wei a plan again!

Under Jia Xu's encouragement, Zhang Liao, who had already had the idea of seizing Shouchun, immediately got on his horse after getting off the city wall, led several personal soldiers, and quickly ran towards the direction of the military camp in the city.

The news that Cao Jun was about to enter the city had already reached the ears of the people in the city, and not long after Cai Cai attached himself to Daqin, the people's sense of belonging to Daqin was not very strong.

Knowing that Cao Jun was coming, every family in the city was closed, and no matter men, women, old and young, they dared to go out lightly.

It was precisely because the people did not dare to go out that Zhang Liao led a few personal soldiers to run on the streets, and did not encounter any obstacles.

Almost galloping on horseback, after a while, Zhang Liao led several of his own soldiers to the door of the barracks.

As soon as he reined in the war horse, an officer guarding the Yamen of the army camp came up and helped Zhang Liao lead the war horse.

"Can Wen Hou and General Taishi be in the camp?" Before he got off the horse, Zhang Liao asked the officer.

"General Qiqi!" Helping Zhang Liao stabilize his horse, the officer arched at him with his fists, looked up at him and said: "Wenhou and General Taishi are both in the camp, and the two generals are training their soldiers and horses to prepare for the big battle when the Cao army comes!" ”

"Hmm!" Knowing that both of them were in the barracks, Zhang Liao turned over and got off his horse and strode towards the barracks.

Several of the pro-soldiers who followed Zhang Liao also got off their horses one after another and followed him into the barracks.

The soldiers followed Zhang Liao into the barracks, and immediately a few soldiers guarding Yamen stepped forward, led the war horses for them, and led the war horses to the tethered horse stakes near the Yamen.

led a few personal soldiers into the barracks, and Zhang Liao walked straight towards the school yard in the barracks.

It was still far away from the school grounds, and he heard a burst of shouts of killing coming from the school grounds.

The shouting and killing sound was neat, low and majestic, and in that roar, Zhang Liao could hear a strong killing intent.

The Qin army who retired from Shouchun, except for some who had broken arms and legs, the rest of their injuries had recovered.

In the first battle of Shouchun, the defeat of the Qin army carved an unhealable wound in the hearts of these retired soldiers, and that battle was always regarded as a humiliation in the lives of these Qin soldiers.

The Cao army was about to enter the city, but the Qin army in the city did not feel nervous at all, and each of them was looking forward to the arrival of the Cao army earlier, so that they could avenge the defeat of the Shouchun battle that day.

When he was about to walk to the school field, Zhang Liao saw Lu Bu and Tai Shi Ci standing side by side on the periphery of the school field, and not far behind them, Pei Yuanshao was leaning on a wooden stake, watching the two of them practice soldiers and horses.
