Chapter 8 Marching into Xiangyang

Thinking of this, Jia Xu was no longer taboo, and said bluntly: "Exactly, at present, the forces in Guanzhong are mixed, Zhang Langjiang's eastern army is the strongest, our army is slightly inferior, and then there is Liu Bei, who has not yet made a move." is so cheap, Liu Bei will not sit idly by. Let Zhang Lang swallow it alone, presumably Liu Bei was already preparing secretly at this time. And Zhou Yu's hundreds of thousands of troops blocked the south bank of the Yellow River, and occupied several natural dangers. It is almost impossible for our army to move south again at this time. Aid Guanzhong has also become a flower in the mirror. Instead of wasting time here, it is better to withdraw as soon as possible, watch Liu Bei and Zhang Lang fight, at this time our army is in alliance with Liu Bei, Liu Bei will drag Zhang Lang's main army, and our army will give a fatal blow to Zhang Lang's rear, even if Zhang Lang can't be eliminated, I think he can't take care of each other even if he is powerful, right? ”

Cao Ying listened to Jia Xu's suggestion, and at the same time, his mind was also spinning rapidly, in fact, what Jia Xu said was true, in the current form, the Three Kingdoms are in power, and the most disadvantageous one in the current capture of the pass is Cao Ying. Not to mention that there is no way for the troops to go south. Zhou Yu occupied Tongguan again, and almost set foot in Guanzhong. And even if Cao Ying holds Chang'an, he will definitely be able to recapture Guanzhong. Rather than sticking to it, it's better to give it a go.

Although Jia Xu is already seven or eight points sure in his heart that Cao Ying will adopt his own strategy, after all, the companion is like a tiger, God knows, what choice will the Three Kingdoms hero make at this time? Looking at Cao Ying's uncertain face, Jia Xu was also more sure of the guess in his heart, and Cao Ying was really still skeptical. However, it is no wonder that Cao Ying's family has already been hit hard, and if he comes again and loses control of Guanzhong, I am afraid that he will have a head attack.

There was infinite depth in his eyes, like the expression of a wise man when he was contemplating. At this moment, the environment here can only be described in one word - quiet!

Jia Xu could almost hear the sound of mosquitoes fluttering their wings and his own breathing clearly, but he didn't make any movements, carefully observing Cao Ying's every move.

About half an hour later, Cao Ying stood up from the banquet and walked to Jia Xu, who was sitting opposite: "Wenhe, in your opinion, who should be sent to Shuzhong to discuss the alliance?" ”

Sure enough, things were beyond Jia Xu's expectations, and Cao Ying finally chose this method, and the silence that could make ordinary people crazy just now was the best way for him to think.

Jia Xu stood up, clasped his hands into fists, and said respectfully: "Why don't you go to lie down in Shu by Wenhe?" ”

"No!" Cao Ying immediately refuted Jia Xu's request. Yulu cared: "What will happen here, it is not yet known." How can I let my husband go? ”

Jia Xu looked up at Cao Ying, who was holding his hands, his eyes were almost full of bloodshots, as if tears were about to burst out of the frame in the next moment.

"Plop...... Lord. Jia Xu knelt in front of Cao Ying and said movingly: "Wen He is fortunate to be appreciated by the Lord in this life, and he will die without shock!" ”

hurriedly helped Jia Xu up: "Wen He, why did he say this, you gave me advice." Planning for the country should be a blessing to get acquainted with Wen He. ”

The two sighed for a long time before bringing the topic to the point, and Jia Xu wiped the liquid that was about to leak out from the corner of his eyes: "Go to Shuzhong to discuss the alliance, I don't know if the lord has a plan?" ”

Cao Ying's eyes sharpened again, and he returned to his usual domineering style: "Wen Heke still remembers the conspirator who defected to Cheng when we defeated Yuan Shao?" ”

Jia Xu still has some understanding of Cao Ying's net worth, and recalls that there is only one person who can be called a planner in his eyes: "What the lord said is the top planner under Yuan Shao - frustration!" ”

"This is the person who, as far as I know, is not only strategic, but also courageous. Since childhood, he has great ambitions and likes to strategize. First of all, Jizhou was not driving, when Maocai, he was the county commander twice, and when Han Fu entered Jizhou, he was Han Fu's other driver, and was recommended by Han Fu as a riding captain. Yuan Shao occupied Jizhou and defected to Yuan Shao. It can be said that Yuan Shao was wholeheartedly assisted and offered many good strategies, but most of them were not adopted, so he also lost confidence in Yuan Shao. Now I am in charge of the post of staff officer. This trip to Shuzhong can be described as fierce and auspicious. If you are not careful, you may lose Liu Bei, a powerful ally. I think it's more appropriate for him to go. ”

Jia Xu pondered for a moment before he said, "My lord, this frustration is Yuan Shao's general. The stakes are so high that it would be a bit inappropriate to send them there? ”

"The so-called employment is not suspicious, and the suspect is not used. And the stakes are so high that they are in his hands. It is in the interest of his faithfulness to me. "In fact, Cao Ying and Jia Xu all know that if there was only Liu Bei, Shuzhong would have sent someone to ask for help in the face of such a situation, but now there is one more Zhuge Liang, and Liu Bei in Shuzhong is even more powerful. But this alliance, Liu Bei will definitely not refuse. Despite the battles of previous years, they had nothing to think of but to take each other's territory. At this time, Liu Bei had no choice. To sum it up in a simple sentence, this is - politics! After all, they all have a common enemy - Zhang Lang!

Seeing that Cao Ying had made up his mind, Jia Xu didn't have much opinion on going to Frustrated, so he didn't speak at this time. At that moment, Cao Ying announced that he was frustrated. Originally, he was frustrated under Yuan Shao, but he did not betray Yuan Shao, and it was not until Yuan Shao was broken by Cao Shao that he had no choice but to surrender. For several years, I have not been able to show my skills. And after Cao Ying explained the task, he was naturally extremely happy, but he didn't show it, and he was calm. Commanded to leave. Fu Zhi knew very well that it was big or small to say big or small about this matter, but someone like him would definitely be able to think that the answer was already obvious. Liu Bei will definitely be an alliance. And he was happy because although he knew about Liu Bei's alliance, there were still many big obstacles. If the alliance fails, then Liu Bei will definitely die. Cao Ying naturally didn't get any benefits. Therefore, this matter is not Cao Ying's ability to test the frustration. Rather, it shows trust in frustration.

The last section of the Yellow River Basin - Jibei.

At this time, Zhang and Zhong had already led 300,000 elite soldiers to be stationed in Gaotang and other places, and when Cao Ying's order arrived, they would launch a fierce attack on the Gaoshun headquarters guarded by Jibei at any time.

At the suggestion of Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei in Shuzhong urgently ordered Zhang Fei, who was guarding Tianshui, to send troops eastward, aiming to block Zhou Yu's westward advance, so as not to form an encirclement situation.

The war had evolved to a stage where there was nothing to hide, and Zhang Lang also began to step up his march, intending to arrive in Jiaozhou to deal with Meng Shu when Zhou Yu and Huang Zhong's troops were officially engaged in war with Liu Bei.

Jingzhou's Huang Zhong's troops had already made their way south to Fancheng, while Guan Yu had already arrived at the Xiangyang garrison.

Fancheng, in the big tent of Huang Zhongzhong's army.
