Kong Rong respects Liu Bei as a hero, not to mention that he and Tao Qian are friends who are irreversible, Liu Bei is the person who left Tao Qian's life, and now he knows that if Cao Cao personally conquers, Liu Bei will not be able to hold Xuzhou, so he is busy saying:

"The prime minister is angry, this winter, no troops can be moved, and it is not too late to send troops in the spring of next year. Now you can take this opportunity to win over the princes of the world to be prepared. ”

Cao Cao nodded silently:

"Zhang Xiu and Liu Biao are also my future troubles, let's talk about Zhang Xiu first, and then talk about Liu Biao......"

But see Liu Ye said:

"Liu Ye is willing to go."

When Cao Cao heard this, he nodded and smiled:

"If Ziyang goes, this matter can be done."

Then he sent Liu Ye to persuade Zhang Xiu in Yucheng.

Zhang Xiu is located in the city, is in the rear of Cao Cao's camp, if the front and Yuan Shao war, and Zhang Xiu and Liu Biao from behind, attack Xu Du, Cao Cao has no chance of winning. Therefore, winning over Zhang Xiu and Liu Biao naturally became the top priority of the Yuan Cao family.

Qiaocheng, located at the front of Jingcheng, belongs to Cao Cao's rear, if Yuan Shao can win this person over, it is equivalent to China's small satellite North Korea, so not only Cao Cao sent people to fight for Zhang Xiu, Yuan Shao is also extremely concerned about this, now in the middle of winter, it is the time to rest the army, the heroes are taking advantage of this season to lay a good joint, Yuan Shao's subordinates have many ministers, and some people secretly mention the point, but they say that Yuan Shao secretly instructed Yuan Shao:

"If the general wants to get Zhang Xiu, he must first come back to Jia Wen and the secret road."

Yuan Shao didn't know why he asked.

Frustrated:

"Jia Xu is the first strategist under Zhang Xiu, Zhang Xiu regards him as Fan Zeng of Xiang Yu and Jiang Shang of the Martial King, and obeys his words!"

Yuan Shao naturally understood Jia Xu's weight when he heard this, so he personally sent a messenger to Jia Xu, asking this great understanding to say a few kind words in front of Zhang Xiu.

In fact, Jia Xu already had a plan in mind about this matter, and after reading Yuan Shao's handwritten letter, he said with a smile:

"Your lord has a high opinion, and he understands the analysis of the current situation, and in terms of military strength, Yuan Gong is naturally second to none, I already have a plan in my heart, sir, rest assured."

When the envoy heard this, he happily went to see Zhang Xiu.

It's a coincidence, but on the same day, Liu Ye also arrived, what kind of character is this Liu Ye, just arrived in the city, he already knew everything, came to Jiafu, and said with a smile as soon as he entered the door:

"Wen He doesn't seem to want to see me, right?"

Jia Xu saw that it was Liu Ye, and couldn't help laughing:

"Gong Liu laughed, Gong Liu came here for Gong Cao?"

Liu Ye sat next to him and shook his head and sighed:

"It's a pity that it's a step late, it's just that I don't know what Jia Gong thinks about the current situation?"

Jia Xu narrowed his eyes and smiled extremely treacherously:

"Jia Mou has always heard that Mr. is well-informed and has accurate information, don't you know that you have lost Yuan Shao for a while?"

The corners of Liu Ye's mouth raised lightly and smiled disdainfully:

"Mr. is wrong, I did it on purpose, just for Mr. to see it clearly."

After that, he looked at Jia Xu with deep meaning, and Jia Xuqi said:

"What do you mean by that?"

Liu Ye said:

"I said that this matter is not for Gong Cao, but for you and General Zhang."

Jia Xu stretched out his hand and said with a smile:

"Liu Gong is a master negotiator, please speak, Jia listens."

When Liu Ye heard this, he stood up and said:

"In terms of military strength, Cao Gong is slightly inferior, Yuan Shao dominates the land of the four counties, and the soldiers are good soldiers, but Yuan Shao is invincible to Cao Gong in three places."

But when he saw Jia Xu trimming his nails casually, he said:

"One is nature."

Hearing this, Jia Xu raised his head and said:

"Yuan Shao is wide on the outside and taboo on the inside, lacking in judgment and less planning, Cao Gong is open-minded by nature, there is no doubt about employing people, and he is a meritocracy, which is indeed higher than Yuan Gong, and he doesn't say anything."

Liu Ye secretly admired, almost no different from what he thought in his heart, but this person is talented, but it is easy to talk to smart people, and he immediately nodded and smiled:

"Wen He is really high-minded. The second point is that Cao Gong has dedicated the emperor to sit in Kyoto and support the Son of Heaven to order the princes. ”

Jia Xu took a sip of tea and said:

"Yes, Yuan Shao sent troops, and his name is not right, on the contrary, Cao Gong is famous, and Cao Gong is a good politician."

Liu Ye nodded and smiled:

"The third point is that Yuan Shao has more soldiers and Cao Cao has fewer soldiers."

Jia Wenhe nodded again and again:

"Liu Gong Gao sees."

Liu Ye got up and said with a smile:

"Chatting with Wen He is really enjoyable, no wonder Cao Gong is so serious about Wen He."

Jia Xu said strangely:

"How does Cao Gong know about Jia?"

Liu Ye said:

"In the first war of the year, Jia Gong hurt Cao Gong so badly."

After speaking, the two laughed, and the so-called heroes saw the same thing.

Jia Xu looked at the sun and said:

"I expect that the conversation between my lord and Yuan Shao's envoy is approaching, and Duke Liu will wait a while, and wait for me to see my lord."

Liu Ye nodded, picked up the teacup alone, and drank the tea, very relaxed, as if everything around him was none of his business.

But said that Jia Xu went straight to Zhang Xiu's house, Zhang Xiu is setting up his own banquet to entertain Yuan Shao to envoy, in Zhang Xiu's view, he should be obedient to Yuan Shao as the best policy, after all, Cao Cao's beloved son, Cao Cao's fierce general Dian Wei, Cao Cao's nephews all died in their own hands, killing a son is like killing a father, this feud can be said to be unshared, not to mention that Yuan Shao is in four counties, many generals, far better than Cao Cao, and it is the best policy to obey Yuan Shao, so he is very humble and toasts again and again.

But seeing Jia Xu coming in, Zhang Xiu was busy introducing Jia Xu and Yuan Shao's envoys, and Yuan Shao's envoys also nodded at Jia Xu with a smile, but Jia Xu didn't seem to know himself at all, looked at him and asked:

"What is the reason why the gentleman is here?"

Jia Xu's tone was cold and unfamiliar, Yuan Shao's envoy was surprised when he heard this, what am I doing here? Zhang Xiu doesn't know, don't you know? Of course, I came to discuss the joint creation of the Great Central Plains Co-prosperity Circle. But looking at Jia Xu's appearance...... This change is too big, isn't it Jia Xu who is meeting today? Yuan Shao's envoy was a little difficult to accept for a while, and he was stunned, Zhang Xiu saw this and hurriedly said:

"Sir, this is Yuan Gong's special plan to discuss with us to resist Cao......"

After saying that, he handed Yuan Shao's letter to Jia Xu, and even glanced at Jia Xu again and again when he spoke, but when he saw Jia Xu glance at the letter, he sneered and said:

"You can repay Yuan Benchu, my brother can't tolerate it, how can you tolerate the world's warriors?"

After that, he tore Yuan Shao's letter in half.

Zhang Xiu's head buzzed when she saw this, she had already become a mortal enemy with Cao Cao, and now she broke with Yuan Shao, not afraid that the two buddies would shake hands and talk about destroying themselves first? After all, Zhang Xiu was from a famous family, and he reacted very quickly, ignoring Jia Xu and hurriedly grabbed Yuan Shao's envoy's hand and said:

"Wen He is a little drunk, don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously, today we are just eating and drinking, not talking about state affairs, not talking about state affairs."

The messenger didn't even pay attention to Zhang Xiu, looked at Jia Xu in a daze, and nodded:

"Sir's intentions, I will convey them and take my leave."

Then he had to leave the table.

But it was said that Yuan Shao's envoy got up and left when he saw this scene, Yuan Shao sat on the four counties, and his envoy was a little arrogant, even if he was not a little arrogant, people tore up the letters, how could he sit down?

Zhang Xiu hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed him and said with a smile:

"Sir, don't worry, finish eating and then leave."

The messenger glanced at Zhang Xiu and sneered, didn't say much, pulled his sleeves, and left the table.

Zhang Xiu looked at the back of Yuan Shao's envoy and sighed, looking at Jia Xu, who was calm and calm on the side, he was almost angry, but he knew Jia Xu's talent, and he didn't dare to send fire to him, so he had to stomp his feet and say:

"Sir, Fang Jin Yuan is strong and Cao is weak, not to mention that I have a common enmity with Cao Cao, and now I have destroyed the book and reprimanded the envoy, if Yuan Shao raises troops here, how can it be good?"

Zhang Xiuqiang suppressed herself, but between the lines, she still showed resentment and anger.

Jia Xu didn't seem to notice it at all, and smiled indifferently:

"If so, the general can vote for Cao Gong."

Zhang Xiu heard that even if he had a good cultivation, how could he still suppress the fire, it was you who called himself to beat Cao Cao, but as a result, he beat people to the point of losing his nephews and nephews, and now it is you who let himself and Cao Cao, kill people and love sons, heh? He's your mother?

Of course, Zhang Xiu didn't dare to scold, his hands trembled a little, his liver trembled, he took a deep breath, calmed down for a long time, and swallowed the words to his mouth, but he felt that the qi in his chest rose sharply, and it was really unbearable, and he pressed down and pressed again, and only then calmed down and complained:

"I have a deep hatred for Cao Cao, how can I be compatible?"

The words came out of his lips, still full of gunpowder.

Jia Xu shook his head indifferently and smiled indifferently:

"The general has three from Cao Gong: first, Cao Gong was called by the Son of Heaven to conquer the world, which is justified and politically advantageous; Second, Yuan Shao is strong, I take less from more, I will not be reused, Cao Cao is weak, I will wait to vote, I will gladly accept it, since ancient times, the icing on the cake is not as good as sending charcoal in the snow; Third, Cao Gong has the ambition of being a king, how can he lose his benevolence and righteousness because of his own personal grudges? ”

Although Jia Xu is reasonable, how can Zhang Xiu listen to it? But what can be done now? Yuan Shao sent an envoy to sue for peace, Cao Cao didn't even let go of a fart, and Jia Xu let himself go to the fart? I really don't know what this old fox thinks? I have to be a little angry, yes:

"It's up to the gentleman."
