Jia Wenhe, in the mouth of Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew, is now outside Nanxiang City, looking at the city wall not far away in the night. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Along the way, it is necessary to hide both the tracks and the rapid march, even a person of Jia Xu's strength is a little unbearable.

To be honest, it is not Jia Xu's style to help Zhang Xiu so hard, all along, he has been hiding his talent in the Xiliang Army, and he is an ordinary clerk with peace of mind, even if Li Ru once invited him out of the mountain so sincerely, he refused. But this time, he did it, and he made no secret of his strength.

As Zhang Ji said, he knows the general trend of the world in his heart, since Niu Fu was expelled, not only did the Xiliang army not stop, but the contradictions intensified, he saw the signs of chaos in Chang'an, so he did not hesitate to give up the leisurely position in the court, choose to follow Zhang Xiu, and leave the whirlpool. Jia Xu in the game did not have the idea of uniting for the Xiliang army to break Chang'an, he was just a small person, and he has always been cautious, even if Niu Fu was expelled, he was not liquidated by Li Dao and others, so the departure went smoothly.

Following Zhang Xiu is also an inevitability, because he has too little choice. The older generation of generals of the Xiliang Army was directly excluded by him, and after decades of military career, he had already developed his own style, coupled with the situation of the Xiliang Army, he would not trust anyone; And the new generation of successors has also learned their style all over the ...... Only Zhang Xiu, when he was young, he learned a lot of skills outside, when Bian Zhang Han Sui was in turmoil, Zhang Xiu was still in his hometown Zu Li as a county official, Han Sui's hometown Jincheng Lu Sheng attacked and killed Zu Li Chang Liu Jun, Zhang Xiu soon found an opportunity to break into Lu Sheng's lair, took down the head of Lu Sheng among thousands of people, killed hundreds, and drifted away, praised by the whole county. But because of this, Zhang Xiu couldn't stay in his hometown, so he defected to his uncle Zhang Ji and joined the Xiliang Army. Later, he led the army to garrison Beidi County, and made a great name, known as the "Northland Gun King", but he never changed his old habits, governed the army strictly, and became an outlier in the Xiliang Army. And he is a real person, so Jia Xu chose to leave Chang'an with Zhang Xiu.

Not only that, Jia Xu also helped Zhang Xiu, took Wuguan and Danshui, and now brought people to Nanxiang. It's not that he wants to do this, but Zhang Ji, as the Western Liang Army, was originally ostracized by the Kanto, and if he didn't seize the territory and lay the foundation in time, there would be no room for a foothold in the Kanto region. After all, in the hearts of the Kwantung princes, the Western Liang Army was their great enemy. Therefore, he only seized as many counties as possible in Nanyang before Yuan Shu reacted, Danshui was the first, and Nanxiang was the second.

"Strategist, can you do it?" At this time, a mighty man came to Jia Xu's side, it was Hu Che'er, the general of the unified army.

"The defenses in the city are very tight, and fortunately there are no strong people who can do the same as before. Let's start, try to fight as much as possible, after all, it's not a long-term solution, maybe this is the last time, and if you want to take the city in the future, you can only attack head-on. Jia Xu said.

Then he closed his eyes, and an invisible wave emanated and floated towards the city walls.

Behind him, Hu Che'er was ready to attack.

The Nanxiang County Ya is still brightly lit, although it is already deep, but the Nanxiang chief still has not rested. The news of the fall of Wuguan and the attack on Danshui has reached him, and he has also sent someone to quickly deliver the news to Wancheng, asking Yuan Yin, the Taishou of Nanyang, to support.

After receiving the news, he immediately began to prepare for battle, even knowing that it would take a few days for the enemy to attack here, he did not slack off, and insisted on personally patrolling the city every night. After he came back from his inspection today, he was a little flustered, as if something bad had happened, but he couldn't find the source.

The defense of the city has been arranged, and the big clans in the city have also been informed that they will help defend the city and resist the Xiliang army, but because he is uneasy, he does not rest, but guards in the county office.

"Report the ......" A long procrastination came, and the sound of hurried footsteps came from far and near, and it was a soldier covered in blood who broke into the lobby, "My lord, the enemy army is attacking at night, the west gate has been lost, the enemy army has entered the city, we are not opponents at all, please evacuate immediately." ”

"What?" Nanxiang Chang stood up "poof", "What's the matter, didn't this official order that once there is a war, report to this official as soon as possible?" Why did someone report it when the city gate was lost? ”

"My lord, it's not that we didn't come, but that the enemy had an internal response, and directly opened the city gate, and then the army entered the city, and we didn't have time to organize a defense......" the soldier said breathlessly, "Moreover, the county lieutenant went to stop the enemy, and was killed with a stick, and then no one dared to meet the enemy." My lord, while they haven't arrived yet, hurry up and evacuate, they won't be able to leave any later. ”

"Go, where to go, as a retainer of the Yuan family, if you fail to protect the territory, what face do you have to see the lord's family? Needless to say, I swear to live and die with this city. Under the firelight, Nanxiang's face was pale, but his tone was very firm.

In April of the sixth year of Chuping, the general of Zhendong came to the east, and between half a month, even Wuguan, Danshui, Nanxiang, Nanxiang, Nanxiang Chief, and the county lieutenant were all gone, and the world was shaken.

……

"Bang", the sound of breaking came, accompanied by a roar of rage: "Zhang Ji, how dare he attack my Nanyang?" Send troops, immediately send troops, and destroy him, and not a single Xiliang army can let go......"

Shouchun Yuan Shu's mansion, Yuan Shu, who received the news, was furious, and regardless of the opposition of his subordinates, he immediately sent someone to inform Nanyang Taishou Yuan Yin to mobilize Nanyang soldiers and horses, exterminate Zhang Ji, and transfer troops from Yuzhou to support.

……

"Mr. Wenhe, I have heard of the name for a long time, and I finally saw it today." In Nanxiang County, Zhang Ji finally met Jia Xu and was very polite.

"The general is polite, he is a nobody, and he should not be like this." Jia Xu said modestly, "In the future, I will ask the general to take more care." ”

"Wenhe is polite, within half a month, the three cities of Lianke, the world says that my Zhang Jijun is powerful, but I don't know how much it is Wenhe's work, directly rebelled against the defenders in the city, opened the city gate, and I need to rely on Wenhe for advice in the future!" As soon as Jia Xu said this, Zhang Ji knew that he would stay, and he was very happy.

"It's just a small skill of carving insects, and it's also because there are no talents in the city that they succeeded by luck, and this is passed out, and the enemy has a response, and he can't do it like this in the future." Jia Xu said, "In the final analysis, the siege of the city still depends on the strength in hand. ”

The credit of Jia Xu that Zhang Ji said is a skill of Jia Xu, directly rebelling against the defenders of the city gate, opening the city gate, lowering the drawbridge, and then the army can directly enter the city. But this is only on the premise that the defenders do not have strong figures, and once they encounter resistance, a few people are turned against them, which is of no avail at all.

"Of course, I have been in the army for many years, and I still understand this." Zhang Ji said, "Wen He also knows that we are coming from the east and facing enemies on all sides, what does Wen He teach me?" ”

"Dare to ask the general, whose territory is Nanyang?" Jia Xu asked.

"Yuan Highway, what's wrong?" Zhang Ji was puzzled, but he thought in his heart that there were many things about this literati, so it would be good to say no.

"Then where does Nanyang belong and who should be under its jurisdiction?" Jia Xu asked again.

"Jingzhou, Liu Jingsheng, Wenhe means ......" Zhang Ji somewhat understood.

"Nanyang was originally the territory of Jingzhou, but since Liu Jingsheng became the ruler of Jingzhou, he has never gained control of Nanyang, and was even attacked by Sun Jian, who was sent by Yuan Shu and almost captured Jingzhou. Deng County, which is now close to Xiangyang, was also bought by Liu Biao from Yuan Shu at a huge price as a buffer between them. Jia Xu said, "Nanyang is the land of Longxing, the largest county in the world, the land of one county, and the household registration exceeds that of other places and states, how can Liu Biao not want to take it back." But Yuan Shu was powerful, and Liu Biao did not dare to make any changes. But now it's different, we're here, facing Yuan Shu head-on, attracting Yuan Shu to attack head-on, and Yuan Shu is still in the east to conquer Tao Qian, if Liu Jingsheng doesn't take the opportunity to recapture Nanyang, then he will be a prince of one side in vain. ”

"Liu Jingsheng has been sitting in Jingzhou for several years, his strength has long been restored, and he is also a person who is not willing to be lonely, otherwise he would not interfere in the affairs of Yizhou, he will definitely send troops while we are fighting with Yuan Shu." Zhang Ji stood up and walked back and forth, "But, we can't fight in front, they pick up cheap in the back, right?" ”

"It's too early to say who will pick up the bargain. But there is one thing, if Liu Biao does not move, we will definitely lose by ourselves. Jia Xu said, "The strength of the first prince of Kwantung is not something that the scattered Xiliang army can resist. ”

"Okay, I'll repair the book to Liu Jingsheng and conspire with Nanyang." Zhang Ji made up his mind.

"If you're not busy, maybe Liu Jingsheng is more anxious than us!" Jia Xu looked confident.

At this moment, a guard came to report, and Liu Jingsheng sent an envoy to ask for a meeting.

"Demons!" Zhang Ji commented on Jia Xu in his heart, this feeling was only when he faced Li Ru.
