After Cao Cao's conspiratorship. The entire Han Dynasty was caught in the flames of war! In the middle, Xi Ran Zhang Xiu can not attack Yizhou, and quietly wait for Yuan Cao to divide the victory and defeat before joining the battle group, but this also involves the problem of the Kanto family, and if Zhang Xiu wants to take advantage of the fisherman, it is difficult to guarantee that Yuan Cao Pi will join forces to deal with Zhang Xiu, you must know that the contradiction between the Kanto and the Kansai is stronger than that between the wealthy family and the Hanmen. At that time, the princes of the Eighteenth Route discussed Dong was the contradiction between Kanto and Kansai.

Therefore, Zhang Xiu's best choice is to take Yizhou down first and accumulate strength. And Zhang Xiu also has a worry, if Yizhou seems to be owned by Liu Bei in history, he has welcomed a strong lord. At that time, Zhang Xiu's trouble is only afraid to be greater. Therefore, taking advantage of the current Yuan Cao war, it is the best choice to destroy the more cowardly Liu Zhang first.

This series of thoughts flashed through Zhang Xiu's mind. I saw Zhang Xiu's eyes staring, and he praised in a somewhat solemn tone: "Good!" What a ghost Guo Fengxiao! After a pause, he said with a fierce gaze: "Fengxiao is not afraid that he can't leave Chang'an City?" ”

Guo Jiayan didn't care, drank the osmanthus wine in the cup, and then looked directly at Zhang Xiu and said: "If the general wants to kill Jia, I'm afraid that Jia is now in a different place." ”

Zhang Xiu heard this, the fierce light converged, and said strangely: "Why is Fengxiao sure that he will not kill you?" ”

Guo Jia smiled slightly and said: "If the people of the world know that Yingchuan Guo Fengxiao, who sent an envoy to Chang'an, died mysteriously under the rule of the general, I am afraid that the reputation of the general will be damaged." The general is a hegemon, and if he wants to get the support of the world's poor people, he will not kill Jia. ”

Zhang Xiu snorted lightly and said, "Fengxiao is so smart, aren't you afraid that Meng De will kill you?" ”

Guo Jia directly took the wine jug, drank the osmanthus wine in the jug, and then chuckled: "Jia will never say this in front of the lord. ”

Zhang Xiu heard it and said curiously: "Then why did Feng Xiao dare to say it in front of the general?" ”

Guo Jia said with a smile: "Who is the general, Jiaxin is like a mirror." Sighing, Guo Jia half-jokingly said: "If Wen Ruo hadn't invited them back then, Jia might have joined the command of the general and worked with the general." ”

Zhang Xiu laughed and said: "If Feng Xiao was willing to come to the same place, he would have been treated as a military priest and a vain." ”

Guo Jia smiled slightly and thanked: "Thank you for the general's kindness, but the lord has the grace of knowing Jia, and he can't abandon it." ”

Zhang Xiu smiled, he didn't care, he also knew that it was impossible to recruit Guo Jia now. At this time, there was music on the stage, and Zhang Xiu said to Guo Jia: "Feng Xiao, let's watch the play together." This is the end of the conversation between the two sides.

After watching the play, Guo Jia packed the remaining hanging flower wine, went ashore and left alone, and Zhang Xiu asked the boatman to drive back to the inner city. When she walked halfway, the little girl Zhang Feng woke up, rubbed her eyes, saw the stage that was no longer lively, and asked in a daze: "Daddy, hasn't the play started yet?" ”

Zhang Xiu touched Zhang Feng's little brain and said, "Silly girl, it's over, you can sleep first, and your father will take you to see it next month." ”

When the little girl heard this, she answered in a daze, and then bit a snow-white finger and fell asleep. The crystal liquid flowed all over Zhang Xiu's shoulders.

Zhang Xiu returned to the mansion of the general of the fat cavalry and immediately called Jia Xu, Zhong Yu, Fa Zheng, Yang Zhuo, Cheng Gongying and Chen Gong overnight. The six of them hurriedly came to Zhang Xiu's study, and after the guests sat down, Zhang Xiu had just met with Guo Jia, and Guo Jia's conspiracy was told in detail.

After hearing this, everyone thought about it carefully, and they all gasped. The people sitting here are all smart people, and Guo Jia's plan is itself a yang scheme. So that Zhang Xiu had to be tricked. However, after listening to what Zhang Xiu said, everyone knew that Cao Cao's plan was big. The battle between him and Yuan Shao was more than just a big battle between the two males. He also planned the exhibition of other princes in the world, so that they could be their own enemies, and no one could collect the profits of the fisherman.

Fa Zheng frowned and said: "What a ghost Guo Jia, who dares to go to Chang'an alone, has courage and outstanding strategy. Yuan Benchu had him as an opponent, and if he was so eager to send troops, he would definitely be caught by him, but he was afraid that Yuan Benchu would not only lose in this battle, but also be defeated. ”

Jia Xu also frowned and said: "Guo Fengxiao came to see the lord secretly, but I am afraid that there are two more intentions. ”

Zhang Xiu heard it and said suspiciously: "Wen He said." ”

Jia Xu nodded coldly and said, "First, to test the advisors under the lord's command, that is, us. ”

When Zhang Xiu heard this, he was puzzled: "Tempting you?" ”

Jia Xu nodded and said: "Yes, let's see if we can see his second intention, if we can see it, it proves that there are people under the command of the lord who are equal to his intelligence." And if you can't see it."

Jia Xu didn't say the latter words, but everyone understood that if they couldn't see it, it would naturally be Guo Jia's skills. As Cao Cao and Zhang Xiu each swept the rear, the two sides changed from the finished work to the coexistence of competition and cooperation. But both sides know that this situation will not last long, once Yuan Cao wins the battle, if Cao Cao wins, then Cao Cao's next opponent is Zhang Xiu. And it is the biggest opponent, and Zhang Xiu is the same. Therefore, it is understandable that Guo Jia came to test first, but Zhang Xiu did not expect Guo Jia to come so quickly.

Zhang Xiu heard this and asked, "Wenhe, what is the second intention?" ”

Jia Xu didn't answer immediately, but glanced at the few people behind him, only to see Zhong Ci closing his eyes and recuperating. He is dealing with governance, and these strategic struggles have nothing to do with him, he just needs to listen. Behind Fa Zheng's eyes lit up, his expression was solemn, Yang Zhuo and Cheng Gongying frowned, obviously thinking hard, but they also showed a blank look from time to time, obviously they hadn't guessed yet. It was Chen Gong, who showed a look of surprise on his face for a while, and was at a loss for a while, he should have guessed something, but there were some things that he hadn't figured out yet.

Looking at it this way, the level of intelligence of the strategists under Zhang Xiu's command is clear at a glance, Jia Xu and Fa Zheng have the highest intelligence, Chen Gongchan is inferior, Yang Fu and Cheng Gongying are again, but Yang Zhuo is not a simple strategist, he is also good at governance.

Zhang Xiu who Jia Xu saw naturally saw it, and then Zhang Xiu refocused his eyes on Jia Xu's face, waiting for Jia Xu to give an answer. I saw Jia Xu arch his hand and replied: "Lord, I think Guo Jia's intention is to wait for his car to arrive in Chang'an, and the lord will deliberately make it difficult for him to leave Chang'an in anger." In this way, when Yuan Shao sees it, he will know that the lord will not help Cao Cao, and Yuan Shao will send troops in the spring next year with confidence. ”

Speaking of this, Jia Xu stopped, and Fa Zheng continued: "And in essence, in the battle of Yuan Cao, if Cao Cao is defeated, the lord will definitely help. In this way, when Cao Cao is defeated, there is no need to send an envoy to ask for help, and the lord will immediately send troops, so that the prince will become Cao Cao's reserve to save his life in the six major battles! The previous is not counted and lost. Pave a way back for Cao Cao, this ghost Guo Jia is really terrifying, with his help, Cao Mengde will be a big disaster for the lord in the future,"

Before Fa Zheng finished speaking, Chen Gong immediately spoke: "Please kill Guo Jia to get rid of future troubles!" ”

Zhang Xiu smiled bitterly and said: "If you can kill him, how can you not kill him, but if you kill him, I don't know what the world's poor scholars will think of this general."

When Chen Gong heard this, he made a sad gesture and sighed: "The lord is confused, the lord should kill Guo Jia first, and then just charge him with a crime." No matter how bad it is, it is said that he is not accustomed to the water and soil in Chang'an, and he fell ill on the couch, and finally the medicine stone was ineffective, and a whimper. In this way, although it cannot be concealed from the intelligent, it can be blocked from the mouths of people all over the world. When Zhang Xiu heard this, he suddenly realized, patted the long case, and shouted: "Someone!" ”

At this time, Jia Xu looked at Chen Gong and nodded. I don't know if it's an affirmation of his plan or satisfaction with his title for Zhang Xiu. After that, Jia Xu said: "The lord has missed the opportunity before, but now Guo Jia has escaped from Chang'an City."

At this time, there were soldiers pouring in outside, Zhang Xiu heard Jia Xu's words, first waved his hand to let the soldiers out, and then asked Jia Xu: "Wenhe and continue." ”

Jia Xu nodded and said, "Guo Jianeng sneaked into Chang'an City unknowingly, and he can come to see the lord secretly, and there must be Cao Mengde's people in Chang'an City to help." I was afraid that after separating from the lord, he would leave Chang'an City immediately. If the lord wants to intercept him along the way, he will definitely make a big deal about it, and then he will not be able to kill him secretly. It will also spread this matter all over the world, which will damage the reputation of the lord. ”

After listening to Jia Xu's analysis, Zhang Xiu nodded, and sighed: "What a ghost Guo Jia, he was deceived by him if he was a little negligent, it can really be described as a three-step plan, a five-step plan, amazing!" Terrible! ”

After a pause, Zhang Xiu asked Jia Xu: "Wenhe." This Guo Jiashi would have been like nothing, but there was a small way to make him suffer a loss and teach him a lesson. ”

Jia Xu thought for a while and said, "Guo Jia is nowhere to be found now, and the lord can't deal with him clearly." It is not easy to make him suffer. However, someone sent it to the door, and the lord could make it difficult for him. ”

After hearing this, Zhang Xiu smiled strangely and said, "Wen He is talking about the envoy convoy that came to Chang'an under the banner of Guo Jia?" ”

Jia Xu nodded and said, "Not bad." Guo Jia asked us to test us, and asked the lord to make it difficult for the messenger sent by Cao Cao, and the lord might as well fake it and do it, so that Yuan Shao could be confused even more, and secondly, he could breathe a sigh of relief for the lord. Moreover, the person in charge of guarding the convoy this time was Cao Cao's younger brother Cao Hong, who was brave and unscrupulous. When Cao Cao pursued Dong Zhuo who retreated to Chang'an, he was ambushed by Wen Wei, and it was Cao Hong who saved Cao Cao's life, so Cao Hong relied on Cao Cao, and he was Cao Cao's henchman, and some people had no one in his eyes.

This time, the lord made things difficult for Cao Hong, even if Guo Jia saw through this plan afterwards, but with Cao Hong's character, he would also hate Guo Jia, although he would be suppressed by Cao Cao for a while. However, this plan of the lord to provoke the internal struggle of Cao Ying is a long-term plan, and there will certainly be opportunities to use or deepen his internal struggle in the future. ”

At this time, Yang Zhuo, Cheng Gongying, Chen Gong and others saw the power of this Jia Changshi, who is usually inconspicuous and undewy, and only a small plan contains three intentions, and a simple and temporary plan has evolved into a long-term plan, which has planted the seeds for instigating the struggle between Cao Ying's civil and military affairs and the ministers and ministers in the future. At this time, everyone understood that Jia Xuzhicai was indeed worthy of the position of Zhang Xiu's strategist, not relying on his qualifications. Originally, Yang Zhuo and the others were still a little dissatisfied with Jia Xu, but after today, they were convinced.

When Zhang Xiu heard this, he laughed and said, "Okay! Cao Mengde has Guo Fengxiao, and Ben will also have Wenhe, which is enough for him! ”

Jia Xu listened humbly and said: "The lord has praised it. ”

Zhang Xiu smiled and asked: "Wenhe, Guo Jia offered this strategy to let the general attack Ba County, although there is the intention of dragging the general into the battle in Yizhou, and he has no time to care about the northern war, but it is also a good plan to attack Yizhou, what do you think?" ”

Jia Xu nodded and said, "Guo Jia's strategy is a conspiracy, as long as the lord wants to benefit the state." He could have used it anyway. He has no fear, and the lord will definitely be tricked. ”

Zhang Xiu nodded and said, "Yes, although Ben Jiang knew his intentions after listening to it, he also had to fall for it." ”

Jia Xu nodded calmly and said, "However, although Guo Jia has a plan, the lord may not necessarily act according to Guo Jia's plan. Attacking Yizhou, there are two strategies for the lord to choose. ”

Zhang Xiuxi said: "Wen is gentle and careful. ”

Jia Xu replied and replied: "These two strategies have one thing in common, that is, the three armies are parallel. All the way from Longxi, Hanzhong troops, take Yinping Avenue, straight to take Jiangyou, this road is the morning of Yishan, filial piety they said the policy. First: The road is from Nanzheng to increase a large number of troops in the Sword Pavilion and the first line of Jiameng Pass, this road is a suspicious soldier, and Zhang Renzhi's experience can indeed see that this road is a suspicious soldier. However, the target of this suspicious soldier's plan is Liu Zhang himself. In order to make Liu Zhang frightened, he forced Zhang Ren to increase his troops and drag down part of the Yizhou army. The third way is to send troops over the Micang Mountain, first attack the land of Brazil, and then attack the entire Ba County, as Guo Jia said. ”

After a pause, Jia Xu continued: "And the two strategies are to see whether the lord focuses on the first road army or the third road army, if the focus of the attack is to attack the Jiangyou army, the grasp is not high, but once it succeeds, the situation between our army and Liu Zhang will be reversed, and Dingding Yizhou is just around the corner." If you focus on the third road, it is safe, but it will take several years to attack Yizhou. And now that the three armies are parallel, they can take care of each other and improve the master's grasp of attacking Yizhou. ”

Jia Xu's two strategies for Zhang Xiu did make it difficult for Zhang Xiu to choose, the success rate of taking Yinping Avenue is low but the return is high, and the success rate of attacking Bajun is high but it will fall into the quagmire of war in the future. Zhang Xiu pondered for a while. asked Jia Xu: "Wenhe, can you attack Yizhou at the same time?" ”

Jia Xu pondered for a moment and said, "But! However, grain and grass are the biggest problem, and a large number of soldiers must be arranged on both sides, and for the sake of secrecy, soldiers can be lightly loaded, but grain and grass cannot. Therefore, during the first stage of the sneak attack, the grain and grass could be supplied by Hanzhong County, and after the response of Deyizhou, a large amount of grain and grass should be transported from Chang'an into Hanzhong immediately, so that a lot of Chang'an's grain and grass would be transferred at once. And in terms of time, Yuan Cao should almost divide the winner and loser. If the lord wants to use the army to attack Hanoi County, he will have to reduce his troops. ”
