Jinyang

Jinyang is located in the heart of Bingzhou, and now the armies of Xu Rong and Jia Xu have been stationed here.

Since Zhang Liao led the cavalry to encircle and suppress the Hu people gathered near Shangdang, he began to attack other cities in Shangdang based on Shangdang.

When Zhang Liao led the troops, the large county towns and small cities in the state opened their gates one after another and chose to accept the incorporation.

Therefore, when Zhang Liao came to Jinyang, the gate of Jinyang was wide open, waiting for Zhang Liao's station.

After Zhang Liao entered Jinyang, he summoned Xu Rong and Jia Xu to let him lead the troops.

After Xu Rong and Jia Xu's armies were stationed, and the three of them made detailed plans, Zhang Liao led the cavalry to Xihe County in the northwest of Bingzhou.

According to the discussion of the three of them, after the incorporation of Xihe County, Zhang Liao will go directly to his hometown Yanmen County.

The final strategy of the three was that Xu Rong and Jia Xu led the troops to be stationed in Jinyang, radiating the entire Bingzhou region, while Zhang Liao led the troops to be stationed in Yanmen County for a long time.

If there were changes in other parts of the state, Xu Rong and Jia Xu would send troops to quell the chaos, and Zhang Liao was mainly responsible for guarding against the Hu people on the border.

The people in Jinyang City, the state capital, did not change much because of the arrival of Xu Rong and Jia Xu's army.

The only possibility that the change is that the governor of the county guard mansion will be replaced by Xu Rong, and the war in the entire annexed state will be led by Xu Rong in the future, as for Jia Xu.

Jia Xu was bidding farewell to Xu Rong at this time.

"General Xu, there is no obstacle to the annexation of the state, I'm afraid I have to leave for Chang'an City."

Jia Xu didn't see any expression on his face, and said calmly to Xu Rong.

Xu Rong chuckled lightly and said: "This is a good thing, Wen He can enter the eyes of the Prime Minister's Law, and his future is limitless." ”

When Jia Xu heard this, he pulled the corners of his mouth.

Not long after Jia Xu followed Xu Rong to send troops to the state, he received news from the Xiangguo Mansion of Chang'an City.

The news of Xiangguofu expressed only one meaning, after the annexation of the state was decided, Jia Xu was ordered to return to Chang'an City as soon as possible, and Xiangguo was destined to summon each other.

The country has a destiny to call.

Compared with leading the troops with Xu Rong in Bingzhou, Jia Xu was definitely unwilling to return to Chang'an City.

Although Chang'an City is the capital of a country, the entanglement of interests inside, it is a headache to think about it.

The leader who led the army outside is now Xu Rong, who has won the battle and shared some credit, and if he loses, the boss will take the blame, where can I find such a good thing?

It's a pity.

The days of comfort are coming to an end.

Jia Xu sighed secretly in his heart, but it would not be enough to say that he was worried about the wind and orange clouds in Chang'an City.

It's just because people are much easier, and Xiangguo said before that you can't be a marquis unless you have military merits.

Leading troops outside is the best way to get credit.

Although Jia Xu said that his personality was a little gloomy, he still had some utilitarianism in his heart, otherwise he would not be an official.

"Wenhe, you are about to return to Chang'an City, and Xu has something else to ask." Just when Jia Xu's mind was surging, Xu Rong, who was at the top, opened his mouth and asked.

Jia Xu saluted and said: "The general's bluntness is that he knows everything and says everything. ”

Xu Rong smiled, after this period of getting along, Xu Rong also knew Jia Xu's personality.

Although Jia Xu looks a little cold, he is also a good subordinate, as long as the things handed over to him are handled very properly, which is very reassuring.

And from time to time there will be some good advice, and being able to work with such people will undoubtedly be much smoother.

I only heard Xu Rong ask: "Now that the imperial court has issued an edict, saying that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are traitors, but Xiangguo is ready to send troops to the two?" ”

"If we want to send troops to the two of them, we should prepare the best countermeasures in advance."

Speaking of this, Xu Rong paused, and then said: "If you send troops to recruit Cao Cao, it will naturally be sent by the Sili region, and this matter has nothing to do with us." ”

"It's just that if Yuan Shao is conscripted, I'm afraid that the state will send troops, and the state will send troops, and this matter may fall on the general."

"Yuan Shao now occupies Jizhou, if there are hundreds of thousands of people who can go to the battlefield in battle, it is not so easy to deal with."

"I thought it would be better to contact Youzhou Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan in advance, and then Yuan Shao would be defeated if they attacked from both sides!"

Xu Rong told Jia Xu about his plan, and when he said it, Jia Xu shook his head and retorted: "The general is fallacious. ”

"Huh?"

Xu Rong raised his eyebrows, was he wrong?

Jia Xu organized the following language and explained: "Now that we are waiting for the troops to merge with the state, Xiangguo also ordered Li Dao, Guo Yan and others to join the division. ”

"It will take some time to occupy the two places, and it will take even more time if you want to resume production."

"And there was news from Chang'an before, Xiangguo ordered his righteous son Zhang Xiu to recruit troops in the Fufeng area, waiting for the opportunity."

"This should be done in preparation for the attack on the Hanzhong region."

"And the state."

"Si Li."

"If you add Jizhou and Yanzhou, it will be a four-line battle, and now the soldiers stationed in Chang'an are not available, if it is a war, it will be defeated, and the people who know the soldiers of the Xiangguo will do such an unwise act?"

Xu Rong listened to Jia Xu's analysis and hesitated: "What does Xiangguo mean......?" ”

Jia Xu had a rare smile on his face, "Xiangguo is also a wise man." ”

"The imperial court decreed that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were traitors, and this is the policy of the country to conquer the world!"

When Xu Rong heard this, he muttered: "Serve the country to conquer the world?!" ”

Jia Xu affirmed: "Yes! ”

"Serve the country to conquer the world, occupy the name of righteousness, and do the strategy of two tigers competing for food!"

Xu Rong was puzzled: "Two tigers competing for food? ”

"Yes!"

I only heard Jia Xu then explain: "Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are also traitors. ”

"Gongsun Zan and Tao Qian are officials appointed by the imperial court, and they use Youzhou Gongsun Chan to contain Yuan Shao and Tao Qian to contain Cao Cao."

"If Xu is not mistaken, Xiangguo secretly gave Gongsun Zan the right to rule Jizhou in the name of the imperial court, so that he could contain Yuan Shao."

"On Cao Cao's side, Tao Qian will be given the right to rule Yanzhou and let him contain Cao Cao."

"After such calculations, Gongsun Zhan and Tao Qian will definitely make some moves."

"As long as these two people have a move, then Xiangguo will be able to win the opportunity to recuperate, and when the last two tigers fight, there will be an injury, and Xiangguo can sit and reap the benefits."

After listening to Jia Xu's analysis, Xu Rong also thought in his heart, after all, he didn't have Jia Xu in this kind of battle at the strategic height.

Seeing that Xu Rong was silent, Jia Xu did not continue to speak to interrupt his train of thought.

After a long time, Xu Rong figured out the connection, but there was still one thing he didn't understand.

Since Fang Cai had already asked a lot, he didn't care about asking more, so he just heard Xu Rong ask: "Wen He said that the Prime Minister will use Youzhou Gongsun Zan to contain Yuan Shao. ”

"Now that Youzhou Mu is Liu Yu, Xiangguo uses Gongsun Zan to contain Yuan Shao, isn't it a sacrifice to the end?"

Jia Xu listened to Xu Rong's question, raised his eyebrows, pondered for a moment and replied: "As for why it is Gongsun Zhan, there is another calculation in this. ”

"Another calculation?!"

“……”

Xu Rong's eyes showed doubt.
