Just when Zhao Yun, Ma Chao and Chen Gong were all worried, Jia Xu suddenly spoke: "The lord once told Xu that when the two countries fight against each other, they fight for resources. ”

Zhao Yun listened thoughtfully, Ma Chao and Chen Gong followed Zhang Xiu without Jia Xu and Zhao Yunchang, and they were a little confused by the new words that suddenly appeared in Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu nodded, and asked Jia Xu rhetorically: "What does Wenhe mean?" ”

Jia Xu replied: "The lord once said that ordinary people only see money, food, weapons, war horses and other things, but in fact, talent is the most important kind of resource. ”

Zhang Xiu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said: "What does Wenhe mean to plunder the population? ”

Jia Xu nodded and said: "Yes, after several years of governance by Yuan Shao, Jizhou has recovered a lot, and there are many people living near Yecheng. The lord's army attacked Chaoge today, Yuan Shao's men of insight will naturally notice this threat, if it is not bad, Yuan Shao should send troops to capture the northeast of Hanoi after relieving his breath, so that the lord's army can drive straight into the threat of Yecheng, and our army and Yuan Shao should be bounded by Huai County from next year. In this case, why didn't the lord move the people near Yecheng, the defeated soldiers of Guandu and the people of Hanoi to Henan and Hedong, so as to weaken Yuan Shao's strength. In addition, Cao Cao has not much grain and grass, and his captives of nearly 100,000 Yuan troops may only be able to reorganize three percent, and the remaining seventy percent should be killed by Cao Cao's usual means. In this way, the lord can stand up to more than 100,000 battle-hardened foot soldiers, and as long as he is trained, he can use these more than 100,000 foot soldiers as the front to attack Yizhou. Moreover, the families of these soldiers are all in Jizhou, and the lord who died in the battle does not need to give his family a pension of money and food, and the large amount of money and food saved is enough for the lord to form an elite army. ”

Zhang Xiu is also a shrewd person, and of course he understands what Jia Xu means when he hears it, with the situation that Yizhou is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if Zhang Xiu's army attacks, I am afraid that the pension for the soldiers who died in the battle alone is a large amount of money. This pension is a rule set by Zhang Xiu, so that the military is no longer the lowly profession in the past. Coupled with the martial arts of the people in Kansai, Zhang Xiu's move won the hearts of the people in Kansai, and it was already an honor to join the army under Zhang Xiu's rule.

Although due to the opening of the trade routes in the Western Regions, the income of the Hussar General's Mansion increased several times, and the pension was changed to no food, only a large amount of money. But the attack on Yizhou will definitely kill a large number of soldiers, if according to Jia Xu's strategy, it is true that the money and food saved in this are enough to form another elite army.

And the only thing to worry about here is the problem of these soldiers, thinking of this, Zhang Xiu said: "Although Wenhe's plan is good, if the morale of the soldiers is not high, I am afraid that entering Yizhou to fight will drag down the elite of our army." ”

When Jia Xu heard this, he smiled slightly, and said: "It's okay, there must be a brave man under the so-called heavy reward, and the lord can reward him heavily." ”

Zhang Xiu heard it and muttered: "Heavy reward? Then he caught a glimpse of Jia Xu's mysterious smile that suddenly appeared, and Zhang Xiu immediately understood what Jia Xu meant.

The "heavy reward" in Jia Xu's mouth is actually an empty reward, if these Yuan family soldiers are successfully surrendered, their families are all in Hebei, and the heavy reward given to them by Zhang Xiu will not have a chance to take home in the first place. In this way, it can only be used under Zhang Xiu's rule, and Zhang Xiu, as a traverser, naturally understands the benefits of money circulation, and wishes they could use it more. And if these soldiers are not used, stay on their bodies or in the camp, and after they die in battle, these rewards will also be recovered, so that the so-called "heavy reward" given by Zhang Xiu actually flows back into Zhang Xiu's bag after a circle.

Zhang Xiu wanted to understand the reason, and secretly praised: "Sure enough, he is a poisoner, just a simple strategy, which can not only weaken the enemy, but also enhance his own strength, and save Zhang Xiu's money and food, killing multiple birds with one stone." Zhang Xiu felt that this dispatch of troops was absolutely not in vain, taking Hanoi and confiscating the wealth accumulated by many families in Hanoi for a hundred years, plus these more than 100,000 veterans and the people near Yecheng, Zhang Xiu felt that this dispatch was definitely worth the money. The big battle has not been fought, and the small battle is easily won, but the benefits are huge.

While Zhang Xiu wanted to understand, Chen Gong over there had also thought clearly, and high-fived and praised: "Wen He has a good plan!" The palace is served! ”

Zhang Xiu knew that Chen Gong was not a pedantic person, and Jia Xu fooled more than 100,000 soldiers with this plan, but Chen Gong didn't feel that it was inappropriate, and he became convinced of Jia Xu.

Over there, Zhao Yun was thoughtful, and Ma Chao was directly unclear. Zhang Xiu didn't say much, just nodded slightly and said: "Zilong, Meng Qi, and you each led 20,000 cavalry into Jizhou, and tried to move the people of Jizhou into Hanoi within ten days. In addition to the common people, they should also try their best to collect the defeated soldiers of Guandu. ”

Zhao Yun and Ma Chao heard it, and at the same time arched their hands and said, "Promise ......"

At this time, Chen Gong asked, "How can the lord ask Cao Cao for those Yuan army soldiers?" ”

Zhang Xiu heard this, turned his head and asked Jia Xu, "What does Wenhe think?" ”

Jia Xu replied with a smile: "The traitor Liu Bei fled to Jingzhou, and he may go north to take Xuchang at any time, and there is a lack of soldiers in Xinye, Yiyang and other places on the east bank of Nanyang County. And Xiliang Yumen Pass is in disrepair, and the northern Xianbei is ready to move, if the border cannot be guarded, the lord will have to avoid disaster in Xuchang. The lord only needs to write this situation to the imperial court and ask the court to surrender the pawns collected by Cao Sikong to Yuan Shao. ”

After listening to this, Zhang Xiu's heart sank. In the past, Zhang Xiu thought that Guo Jia was the strongest calculating person in the world, but now it seems that Jia Xu is not bad, the first article is about Liu Bei's problem or the situation problem, but the second and third articles are directly aimed at Cao Cao's heart. Although Cao Cao is a traitor, Zhang Xiu, a person who has crossed through his patriotic heart, also knows it. When Cao Cao was young, his ambition was to become a figure like Wei Huo who opened up territory and became famous in history. Until now, Cao Cao's power is leaning towards the government and the opposition, and this heart has not changed.

Jia Xu's plan was to pressure Cao Cao with reason, which means that if you don't give me Zhang Xiu, you won't help you defend that place in Xinye, and wait for Liu Bei to raise troops to take Xuchang. The second and third articles are about Cao Cao in love, which means that I, Zhang Xiu, have the same ambitions as you, and we both hope to become a figure like Wei Huo and open up territory. Of course, this is also an excuse for Cao Cao to send the troops to Zhang Xiu. In the end, it is naturally a threat, if Cao Cao does not send the pawns, Zhang Xiu will "avoid trouble" Xuchang, the meaning is self-evident.

In this way, it is both soft and hard, even if Cao Cao saw through Zhang Xiu's plan, but the situation at this time is not as good as people, Cao Cao has just formed a big enmity with Yuan Shao, if Zhang Xiu, who is stronger than him, can only attack Cao Cao at this time, as if he is dealing with Yuan Shao. If Zhang Xiu formed an alliance with Yuan Shao, his victory in the battle of Cao Cao's Guandu would be gone. Therefore, whether it is Cao Cao himself or those military advisors and strategists in Cao Ying, they should understand that they can't offend Zhang Xiu for the sake of the soldier who is about to be killed.

Due to Yuan Cao's war and Guo Jia's misestimation of Yizhou's strength, Zhang Xiu had an opportunity to take a huge advantage and ask Yuan Cao for a large share of the benefits on both sides.

Zhang Xiu's plan has been decided, Zhao Yun and Ma Chao each led 20,000 elite soldiers into Jizhou in two ways, Zhao Yun led 20,000 thunder cavalry all the way south to the Yellow River, and then went east to Liyang, in order to try to collect the defeated troops of Guandu. And because these Yuan family stragglers all knew that Yuan Shao was now in Liyang, they went to vote one after another, so Zhao Yun's way was mainly to collect and surrender the defeated soldiers, and the people who migrated were relatively few, after all, the Yellow River was a war zone before, and most of the people left.

Ma Chao waved all the way to the northeast, moved the people of Wei County (Zhishu Yecheng) into Hanoi, and arranged for Chen Palace to be picked up by Zhang Xiu, who had 10,000 soldiers in Chaoge, and then moved the people to Henan and Hedong by water and land.

And when Zhao Yun and Ma Chao waved their troops into Jizhou, Zhang Xiu's letter had been sent to Cao Cao in Guandu.

"Dangdangdang......"

In the big tent, Cao Cao kept smashing the utensils on the table, and at the same time kept scolding: "Despicable Zhang Xiu thief! Yes! After scolding, he directly pulled out the Heavenly Sword on the weapon rack next to him.

"Boom......"

"Click, click, click......"

The Heavenly Sword swung continuously, and the desk made of fine golden silk nanmu was dismantled by the Heavenly Sword and turned into a pile of broken wood.

Cao Cao was furious in the big tent, Xu Chu and Dian Wei, who were guarding outside the tent, glanced at each other, the two of them had been with Cao Cao for a long time, and he was very angry very rarely. Even Xu Chu saw it for the first time, that is, Dian Wei saw it once when Cao Cao lost his father, and Cao Cao was angry that time, but it was dozens of cities in Xuzhou that were slaughtered, and Surabaya stopped Cao Cao's anger. This time Cao Cao was furious, and he didn't know how much blood he had to shed to stop, which was the same idea of the two of them.

Before long, Xu Chu and Dian Wei saw a large group of scribes and generals coming from a distance, and the leader of the scribe side was Guo Jia, followed by Xun You, Xi Zhong, Cheng Yu and others. The generals were headed by Xiahoudun, followed by Yu Ban, Li Dian and Xintou's Zhang Jaw and others.

Seeing this, Xu Chu took a few steps forward and said to Guo Jia: "Guo sacrificed wine, the lord was furious in the tent. ”

Guo Jia nodded and said, "Jia is going to calm the anger of the lord." ”

Xu Chu listened, nodded, and let Guo Jia and the others in. Sure enough, when Guo Jia and the others entered the tent, Xu Chu and Dian Wei could no longer hear Cao Cao's angry roar.

At this time, in the big tent, Cao Cao asked with a gloomy face: "Fengxiao, this embroidered thief is taking advantage of the fire to rob!" Take advantage of the fire! After speaking, he threw Zhang Xiu's letter to the ground.

Guo Jiashi picked up the letter that Cao Cao threw to the ground, then opened it to look at it, and then handed the letter to Xun You and others. Only then did he say: "Lord, it was Jia's miscalculation and overestimation of Liu Zhang's strength that Zhang Xiu had a chance, please punish the lord." ”

Cao Cao listened, froze his mind, and then sighed and waved his hand: "Feng Xiao is not familiar with the situation in Yizhou at all, just based on the previous news and the performance of Zhang Ren and Yan Yan, even this Sikong overestimated Liu Zhang. After speaking, he waved his hand again, meaning that Guo Jia was not to blame.

After reading the letter, Xun You frowned and said: "The lord fought with Yuan Shao here to the death, and then defeated him, and received 100,000 soldiers, and he opened his mouth to seventy percent." Although these Hebei soldiers are not all elites who have followed Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan for several years, they have fought with our army for a year, and they can be regarded as veterans. Zhang Xiu got 70,000 veterans without much effort, which is really a good calculation. ”

Xi Zhong nodded and said: "It's not all, if Zhang Xiuru uses these soldiers to attack Yizhou, all he consumes is grain and grass, so it is as if he has become a master and a man, and Zhang Xiu has laid down Yizhou for himself." Feng Xiao's previous calculations were in vain, this Jia Wenhe is really powerful. ”

Later, Cheng Yu also spoke: "Actually, the lord may not be able to swallow these pawns, Zhang Xiu means that if the lord has a pawn, he will give it to him, but if this army becomes a corporal under the lord, Zhang Xiu can't ask for it." ”

Xun You heard this, shook his head and said: "Gather the newly harvested grain and grass in the Zhizhi, the lord is indeed barely enough to collect these soldiers. But next year it will be impossible for our army to attack Hebei. It must be known that Hebei has a deep heritage, Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, and Gao Gan came to save Jizhou, Yuan Shao also began to collect the defeated troops, and the four-way army gathered. ”

Xun You, Xi Zhong, and Cheng Yu competed to discuss, the current situation is that it is a capital enemy, and there is no good reason not to give it, if it is really Zhang Xiu who attacks Xuchang, he Cao Cao is difficult to take care of.

His face was gloomy as water, Cao Cao turned his head and asked Guo Jiadao, "Is there a good way to be filial piety?" ”

Guo Jia smiled slightly and said: "What you say is reasonable, but even if Zhang Xiu asks for these 70,000 soldiers, in fact, the benefits may not be as great as you think." First of all, it will take a long time for Zhang Xiu to retrain these soldiers who have left their hometowns and suffered great defeats into combatable soldiers. Secondly, Zhang Xiu wants to use this army to enter Yizhou, although there are many soldiers, but the road in Yizhou is difficult to travel, the first thing to solve in attacking Yizhou is the problem of grain and grass, these 70,000 soldiers can not be put into the battlefield of Yizhou at one time, Zhang Xiu has to spend more grain and grass in a short period of time than before, and Zhang Xiu is also restricted at the same time, making it unlikely that he will interfere in the war in Hebei. And with this buffer, Yizhou Liu Zhang can already contain Zhang Xiu, and the lord can calmly attack Hebei. And what you are worried about Zhang Xiu will take down Yizhou quickly, in fact, it is easy to solve, that is, to make another enemy for Zhang Xiu. ”

Xun You, Xi Zhong, and Cheng Yu muttered when they heard it: "Make another enemy? Then he read aloud in unison: "Liu Bei! ”

Cao Cao heard it and laughed: "I see! Wonderful! It's wonderful! is a good ghost Guo Fengxiao, and he actually hid this Sikong from the past. ”

Guo Jia heard it and said with a wry smile: "Lord, Jia Ke asked for your consent, but he didn't hide it from you." ”

Cao Cao laughed and said: "Originally, I didn't understand the intention of Fengxiao, but now I can be regarded as clear." ”

Xun You was puzzled when he heard this, so he asked, "What kind of calculation does Feng Xiao have to hide from me?" ”

Guo Jia smiled slightly and said: "Without him, Jia just asked General Miaocai to show mercy when he pursued Liu Bei." ”

Xun You, Xi Zhong, Cheng Yu, Xiahoudun and others opened their mouths one after another when they heard this, and they were surprised!
