Chapter 8: Jia Xu's Thoughts

On Shinno Castle, the archers kept releasing the arrows in their hands.

Under the city wall, Cao's army array is also constantly advancing, and it seems that it has reached the city wall.

Although there is no smoke of gunpowder, the war is also going on like tea......

Cao Jun rear!

"If it goes on like this, I'm afraid that after this battle, even if we take Xinye City, our army will suffer heavy losses."

"This is not conducive to our next southern expedition."

Cheng Yu, Xun You, and Jia Xu began to analyze the war at this time, and the current situation was not what any of them wanted to see.

"Why don't you drag?"

"I think that there will not be too much surplus food in this Xinye City, and it must not take three or two days to drag it down without a fight."

Xun You gave his own analysis, and Cheng Yu also felt that it was the best strategy at the moment.

But Jia Xu didn't dare to agree with the two of them.

Drag?

Cao Jun claims to be an army of 800,000, but even if there is none, there are hundreds of thousands, and if it drags on for a few days, how much grain and grass is needed?

Others may be able to afford it, but can they?

Although there is Xun Yu, the chief strategist, in the rear, who is preparing grain and grass for Cao Jun, he can't let people conjure it out of thin air!

Grain and grass are not wasted in this way.

Of course, he naturally wouldn't say this, because he understood, and Cao Cao also knew the important factors in this matter.

They can't afford it.

"Damn, where did this Liu Bei conjure such an elite soldier?"

"Why can't I find out even the slightest bit of news?"

Cao Cao also had a headache, and shouted angrily at everyone.

At this time, Jia Xu finally spoke.

"Prime Minister, my subordinates think that the people in this Xinye City may not be on Liu Bei's side."

After a sentence, everyone looked at him.

"Oh? Wenhe, why do you say this? Cao Cao had a feeling of clearing the clouds, and asked busily.

Jia Xu didn't hide it, and replied directly: "Then Liu Bei only has the second general Liu Guan, and the soldiers are no more than 3,000. ”

"Whether he borrows soldiers or Zhuge Liang's various magical powers, he will definitely not conjure such a powerful elite soldier out of thin air."

"Therefore, according to the subordinates, first, after this force beat Liu Bei away, they will defeat General Cao Ren."

"The second is that Liu Bei knew him but didn't make friends, and after discussing with them, Liu Bei retreated in advance, surrendered Xinye City, and let them face us, while Liu Bei turned around and fled."

Perhaps, this is the most Jia Xu has said, and after he finished speaking, he was silent again and fell into deep thought, probably analyzing whether there was anything wrong with his words.

And Cao Cao, hearing this, was also secretly thinking, which one might be bigger.

After all, no matter who the people here are, it is impossible for them to know the plan set up by Zhuge Liang for them without knowing the prophet, and it was also broken by Zhang Fan's coincidence.

It can be said that the curtain has come to an end on the burning of Xinye, and all that greets everyone is new battles and schemes.

Soon, Cao Cao figured it out.

Either way, it has nothing to do with the current situation!

Now, the main thing is how to deal with the current situation.

"What should we do next?"

After Jia Xu heard this, he smiled again: "Borrow!" ”

"Borrow?" Cao Cao was a little dazed, and looked at Xun You and Cheng Yu on the side.

After all, the two of them are also famous contemporary strategists, and just two words have already made it clear to them what to do next.

"Prime Minister, Wen He means that we can send an envoy to talk, and maybe we can give some benefits to us."

"In this way, we can continue to go south, and wait until the triumph in the future, are we still afraid of a small small city?"

"At that time, whether it is a siege or an attack, it will naturally be effortless."

"It's just that Zixiao's revenge will be recovered later."

Cheng Yu said with his hand, and then Xun Yu also expressed his views together.

"Prime Minister, that's not all."

"It is important to know that once the envoy contacts the other party, we will be able to know exactly who the other party is, and it will be convenient for us to search for other information about the other party in the future."

The more the two talked, the more excited Cao Cao became, as for Cao Ren's hatred, of course he would repay it, and he would still be able to accept it later.

As for Jia Xu, after Cheng Yu spoke, he was already standing aside and silent.

In fact, there is another point that the two of them didn't expect, but Jia Xu had already thought of it.

In his opinion, he will definitely succeed, unless the other party has invincible strength, but at the moment, it is obviously not, and the capture of Xinye City is nothing more than a matter of loss and time.

And after the borrowing is successful, whether the other party will abide by this non-binding thing is even more irrelevant in Jia Xu's view.

He even expected them not to comply, but to go out of the city and plunder the grain and grass in their rear.

Because, only in this way, they can eliminate these guys with minimal losses.

The condescending archers are terrible, but in the open, in the face of the charge of the cavalry, how many rounds can they shoot......

However, this is still a policy for Jia Xu.

In his opinion at this moment, the best strategy is to attack the city at all costs, and then attack the city.

Kill all the soldiers defending Xinye Castle, which seems to be an iron bucket and impregnable.

Because, he felt a trace of fear in his heart, which was even more terrifying than Liu Bei in the past.

Liu Bei's original threat, Guo Jia saw it, and Jia Xu had not joined the Cao army at that time, so he didn't know, but later others made it clear to him.

At that time, Guo Jia told Cao Cao that he should not let Liu Bei lead the army alone, but Cao Cao did not listen, so he created the current Liu Bei.

It can't be killed, it runs fast, and it's particularly difficult.

Now, too, he felt it from this unknown enemy.

If such an existence is given a chance to breathe, or if he is given time to develop, then he will face an invincible enemy in the future.

Jia Xu thinks a lot......

However, he did not say that this was also leaving a way out for himself.

As for how to decide, then it depends on what kind of situation is reported after the messenger is sent.

If the other party is really terrifying, then he has to consider whether to show Cao Cao and attack the city at all costs.

But if the other party is not worth mentioning, then at the lowest cost, come and slowly figure it out.

No way......

Thinking of this, Jia Xu stepped forward again and said, "Prime Minister, my subordinates are willing to go in person." ”

"Huh? Wenhe, wouldn't this be too dangerous? Cao Cao frowned and asked.

"If you send an ordinary envoy, your subordinates are worried that they won't be able to hear the truth of the other party, so please ask for your permission."

The rare Jia Xu made such a move, and Cao Cao was also a little moved.

However, he didn't figure out Jia Xu's purpose for a while.

Cao Cao is not an ordinary person, he has noticed something strange at this moment, but he is a little unclear.

And at this moment, Jia Xu is nothing more than worried that his current job will not last long, after all, he wants a long-term meal ticket to death.

Therefore, he wants to do it himself once and see if this unknown enemy is terrible or not, and if not, then he doesn't need to worry about his current job.

As for the terrible words, he had to think twice......
