Den!
Cao Ren, Xu Huang and Jia Xu sat in the study.
Originally, Jia Xu had been in Xu County, because Liu Xiu was prosperous in Jingzhou, which made Cao 'Cao' even more fearful. It's just that Cao 'Cao' was busy stabilizing the situation in the north and couldn't afford to go south, so he asked Jia Xu to come to Nanyang County to help Cao Ren and Xu Huang make suggestions.
Jia Xuzheng said: "General Cao, General Xu, tell me about the current situation. โ
Cao Ren said: "Mr. Wenhe, the current situation is that Liu Xiu asked Pang Degong to drum up another academy. Before, there were hospitals and open departments. The current academy is already planning to recruit scholars on a large scale. โ
Jia Xu said again: "What about the others?"
Cao Ren said: "In other aspects, there is no situation. โ
Jia Xu sighed lightly and said, "In this way, your news is not as good as the old man." The old man's information is the same, but more specific. Liu Xiu and Pang Degong teamed up to design and suppress the family in Xiangyang, and then forcibly established the academy. Now, the academy is already in the process of being built. โ
When Cao Ren and Xu Huang heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other.
After all, they have limited information.
Xu Huang asked, "Mr. Wenhe went south to deal with Liu Xiu, what are you going to do now?"
Jia Xu said in a deep voice: "Liu Xiu single-handedly suppressed the family in Xiangyang to open the academy, which is to cut off the foundation of the major families. Although the major families agreed on the surface, they were definitely unconvinced in their hearts. So, that's a breakthrough. โ
Cao Ren's mind turned, and he shook his head and said: "Mr. Wenhe, Liu Xiu's current prestige, if you want to incite the people of the major families to make 'chaos', or even betray Liu Xiu, give them ten dares, they may not dare." โ
Jia Xu stroked the beard under his chin, and said, "General Cao, listen to me carefully." It is naturally difficult to make the major families rebel against Liu Xiu, but as long as they do the right guidance, they may not be unable to succeed. The major families served as a breakthrough, and Pang Degong was the fuse of this matter. โ
"Just imagine, if Pang Degong was assassinated and the clues pointed to the major families, would Liu Xiu be suspicious of the Jingzhou family? Especially Pang Degong was a very special person to Liu Xiu. โ
"Once Pang Degong is out of the pool, then after Liu Xiu is angry, I am afraid that what he does will be out of control. The major families will naturally be 'affected'. โ
Jia Xu said: "Not only has the relationship between the major families and Liu Xiu been separated, but it can also be aimed at Pang Degong, why not do it? The family in Jingzhou already harbors resentment towards Liu Xiu itself, and once Liu Xiu is suspected and suppressed again, then he has to take action." โ
After Xu Huang listened, he said: "Listen to Mr. Wenhe's meaning, there should be a plan next." โ
"Naturally!"
Jia Xu's chin rose slightly, evoking a hint of a smile.
Xu Huang asked, "How did Mr. think about it?"
Jia Xu replied: "General Xu, next, the old man thinks like this,...... , Although Liu Xiu is powerful, when the old man comes, he naturally wants to cut out the wings around him one by one and let him fall step by step. โ
Speaking of this, Jia Xu's eyes surged with infinite confidence.
As a top strategist, Jia Xu has his own self-confidence.
When he was in Xu County, because of the existence of Xun You, Cheng Yu, Xun Yu and others, these people followed Cao 'Cao' from the beginning, Jia Xu rarely spoke, and generally had to say it, or it was irrelevant, so he would open his mouth to speak, and most of the time he kept silent.
Now, Cao 'Cao' asked him to come to Nanyang County to plan the affairs of Xiangyang, and the situation is different.
In Nanyang County, if there is no progress, it is incompetent.
Therefore, as soon as Jia Xu arrived in Nanyang County, he began to take active action.
Xu Huang's eyes showed admiration, and he said: "With Mr. Planning, you will definitely be able to defeat Liu Xiu step by step." โ
Cao Ren also said, "Thank you, sir." โ
In fact, Cao Ren did not have a good impression of Jia Xu, the reason is that Cao 'Cao' led Cao Ang to attack Zhang Xiu, and in the end Cao Ang and Dian Wei both died in that battle, Dian Wei and Cao Ren are comrades, and Cao Ang is Cao Ren's junior. Both of them died under Jia Xu's scheme, and Cao Ren's mood when he saw Jia Xu can be imagined.
It's just that now that Liu Xiu is rising, everything is focused on the overall situation.
Cao Ren could only suppress his former grievances and join forces temporarily, hoping that Jia Xu could suppress Liu Xiu, otherwise Liu Xiu's continuous rise would make the situation very troublesome.
Jia Xuzheng said: "We are all doing things for the prime minister, and the old man was ordered by the prime minister to go south to take charge of the affairs of Jingzhou, and dealing with Liu Xiu is also a matter of course, General Cao does not have to be polite." โ
Cao Ren changed his words and said: "The general policy has been set, but it is not easy to really act. โ
Jia Xu said: "There is still enough time, let's deduce it slowly." โ
......
Nan-Hai County, Longchuan County.
Nanhai County borders Jiangdong and belongs to a large county in the east of Jiaozhou.
Although Sun Quan commanded all the counties in Jiangdong, because he had been at war with Jingzhou, he had no time to attack Jiaozhou. Historically, Sun Quan began to move against the 'Jiao' state, which was also after the Battle of Chibi, but now Sun Quan is no longer able to go south.
Therefore, this gave Liu Bei an opportunity to take advantage of.
Liu Bei borrowed Sun Quan's soldiers, as well as his own soldiers, and under the planning of Zhuge Liang and Chen Zhi, he soon seized Longchuan County in the north of Nanhai County and took root here.
Longchuan County is a large county, but it is vast and sparsely populated.
The population is not large, and the geographical location is also very remote, so the life of the people here is not good.
For Liu Bei, geographical location does not affect him. Liu Bei took control of Longchuan County, and in a short period of time, he had already made the people follow, and even when the people mentioned Liu Bei, they were all 'handed' praise, with an expression of admiration and reverence.
In terms of the ability to collect the heart, Liu Bei is indeed outstanding.
After Liu Bei really took control of Longchuan County, he quickly discussed with Zhuge Liang and began to wave his army to the east, capturing Jieyang County to the east of Nanhai County. There are seven counties in Nanhai County, but Longchuan County and Jieyang County alone have occupied nearly half of the territory.
Liu Bei occupied half of Nanhai County, and his power began to increase rapidly.
In military and government affairs, Liu Bei did not 'interfere' and made every effort to subdue the people.
In less than half a month, Liu Bei appeased the people of Jieyang County, and then after discussing with Zhuge Liang and Chen Zhi, he waved his army and went straight to Panyu County, the seat of Nanhai County.
The strength and defense of Nan-Hai County were not comparable to Jingzhou, and could not be compared with the Central Plains.
Especially Liu Bei had a fierce general like Chen Zhi under his command, and Zhuge Liang planned to easily seize Panyu County and completely occupy the governance of Nanhai County.
After Liu Bei succeeded in one fell swoop, he began to win over the local scholars, and then publicized his identity, and in a short period of time, he conquered the other four counties.
For a time, Liu Bei directly controlled the entire Nanhai County.
Compared with in Nanyang County, Liu Bei was attacked by the enemy on his back, Cao Ren's army was in the north, and Liu Xiu was eyeing him in the south, almost surviving in the cracks.
In Nanhai County, Liu Bei is a leap from the sea, especially when he is assisted by Sun Quan, it is extremely easy.
After seizing Nanhai County, Liu Bei adopted Zhuge Liang's suggestion and temporarily withdrew his troops, one is to raise the 'essence' and accumulate strength, and the other is to consolidate the foundation of Nanhai County, so as to prepare for the next attack on 'Jiao' Prefecture.
