Niu Fu was arguing with Jia Xu at the moment. It's not so much a quarrel as Jia Xu holding him accountable.

"General, didn't you say that you want to observe, observe? It's only been a few days since I supervised the grain and grass this time, and you started to raise troops to attack Liu Jian? Not to mention the broken people, the relationship with Liu Jian now cannot be eased, and what should be done if Xiangguo is blamed back? Niu Fu said impatiently: "What's there?" Anyway, sooner or later, it's going to be fought! Xiangguo clearly ordered that Ben General take the head of Liu Jian, could Ben General still be able to disobey Xiang Guo's order? Jia Xu just stared at Niu Fu indifferently, and there was an unavoidable wisdom in his eyes.

"Y-What are you looking at?" Niu Fu was a little weak when he was stared at by Jia Xu. Jia Xu sighed and said, "General, does Xiangguo really want Liu Jian's head?" ”

"When, of course!" Niu Fu is still stiff-mouthed. Jia Xu looked at Niu Fu with a little more playfulness in his eyes.

"General, although Xu has a low status in the army, he is also a captain, and he still has the identity of writing letters directly to Xiangguo and the generals."

"Could it be that the general really wants Jia Xu to go back, write a letter to Xiangguo, and learn about the matter from Xiangguo?" The muscles on Niu Fu's face twitched slightly.

Jia Xu is very obedient on weekdays. Why did you come to this moment, why did you have to do it against yourself?

That's not his character! Niu Fu didn't know Jia Xu, Jia Xu was very obedient on weekdays, and that was because Niu Fu was able to provide Jia Xu with the protection he deserved on weekdays.

At the same time, Jia Xu has a lot of things that Niu Fu needs to come forward, and uses Niu Fu as a spokesperson to assist Dong Zhuo. But this does not mean that when Niu Fu's behavior threatens Jia Xu's survival, Jia Xu will swallow his anger.

Jia Xu is a person who speaks little on weekdays, treats people modestly, and does not fight for anything, and anyone who has been in contact with this person for a long time will say that he has a good personality.

And he knows how to retreat very well, some rights, benefits, or something, Jia Xu has never fought or grabbed, and he generally swallows it in his stomach when he suffers a loss, and he doesn't argue with others.

But this doesn't mean that his temper is really good, after all, Jia Xu is also a person from Liangzhou. Even if he is a scholar, he has grown up in the border of Liangzhou since he was a child!

Jia Xu has a bottom line, as long as it is within this bottom line, he can tolerate you for anything, but once you touch his bottom line, then he won't do it.

The bottom line is not to let him lose his sense of security! He did not allow anyone to put the crisis too close to him.

As long as you can do this, then everything between you and Jia Xu is easy to discuss. Niu Fu this time, he crossed the line.

And he's more and more out of line. As soon as he heard that Jia Xu was going to write a letter to Dong Zhuo to ask, Niu Fu suddenly panicked.

He hurriedly stood up and said to Jia Xu: "Wen He, don't worry, why bother Xiangguo with such a trivial matter?" Jia Xu seemed a little helpless: "In front of the two armies, life and death are at stake, what is a trivial matter?" ”

"Hehe, hehe, hehe......" Hearing Jia Xu say this, Niu Fu just laughed dryly. Niu Fu's point really makes Jia Xu helpless, he is extremely strong when he is strong, but once he loses money, he will not be tough with you, but he will not admit his mistakes, anyway, he will mess with you and finish the matter.

"Wenhe, what is the relationship between you and me? Why bother? Hahaha, it's not easy for my father-in-law, you said that he was fighting with the Yuan family and the Yuan family's group of dogs in the Central Plains, if you still use these little things to annoy him, wouldn't it seem that you and I are too incompetent! ”

"Liu Jian is different from other princes, this person's ability to use troops is not under the Xiangguo! Why did the general have to go against the will of Xiangguo and forcibly confront Liu Jian? Jia Xu asked puzzled.

Niu Fu turned around twice in the tent, and his face suddenly showed an indescribable evil spirit.

"Wenhe, you don't know! I once led my troops to chase Liu Jian, and that Zhang Fei threw me under the horse in front of the soldiers of the two armies, making me lose face! So far, among the generals, I have been reduced to a laughing stock because of this matter! How many people say that I am the son-in-law of Xiangguo, and I have only sat in this position today! Jia Xu couldn't understand the pain in Niu Fu's heart, on the contrary, he still looked at Niu Fu like a monster.

What is there to be angry about? said that you are sitting in this position today because of Xiangguo's son-in-law...... There's nothing wrong with this, right?

If this position is not allowed to be held by his own son-in-law, should he be given to someone else's son-in-law? In these days, which family is not cronyism?

Bloodline? Niu Fu saw the puzzled expression on Jia Xu's face, and said, "I'm not saying that there will be anything wrong with Ren Zhonglang, the son-in-law of Xiangguo, I mean...... They all think that I can only be this Zhonglang general by relying on Xiangguo, but they don't recognize my ability! Jia Xu raised an eyebrow.

ъWhat do people say...... There's still nothing wrong with it, you really don't have much ability, isn't this clear?

Looking at Niu Fu's disgruntled expression, Jia Xu sighed secretly. The most taboo thing about this person is that he has no self-knowledge.

It's like a cow. If you want to say that he has no ability at all, you are wronging him. But the problem is that his ability can't bear his ambition.

He does have some ability, but his eyes are above the top, he feels that he is invincible in the world, and he regards the things that have been given to him because of his background and family as something he has won by his own ability.

Such people are the most hopeless! It's not as good as the real mediocrity! At least, most of the real philistines still know that they are waste!

Jia Xu took a deep breath and said, "The general insulted you because Zhang Fei was in front of the two armies, because he was indignant?" ”

"Exactly, if you don't take revenge, you will be in vain!" Jia Xu said: "But the general never thought about it, why could Zhang Fei insult you in front of the two armies?" When Niu Fu heard this, he didn't react.

"Because he is indeed capable and courageous! If he has no real ability, how can he move the general in the slightest? General, in fact, you should feel lucky, the last time the general clashed with Zhang Fei, the other party had no murderous intent, so the general you can come back alive, if he has the intention to kill you, then the general you ......"

"Enough!" Niu Fu interrupted Jia Xu's words: "Ben will never be weaker than Zhang Fei!" In this battle, Ben will vow to kill Zhang Fei and hate him with blood! ”

"Wenhe, you have to help me with this!"

"Don't worry, in the future, Xiangguo will ask for the guilt, and the responsibility of sending troops without authorization will be borne by me alone, and I will have no worries with you! You just have to help me design and deal with Liu Jian! Jia Xu sighed in his heart.

It's not a question of guilt or not guilt at all, it's what if something happens and I fall into the front?

Knowing that the enemy is strong, but still strong to fight the enemy, who dares to guarantee that my life will not be damaged? When Jia Xu heard this, he sighed.

This Niu Fu is really incorrigible! I've said it all, you're still so stubborn!

When it comes to military strategy, Jia Xu is not what he is good at, but he is good at looking at people. No matter who is strong or weaker in the two armies, with Niu Fu's open-mindedness, his chances of winning Liu Jian are very slim.

It was just an instant, and Jia Xu made up his mind in his heart. Niu Fu wants to disobey Dong Zhuo's military orders and confront Liu Jian, then let him fight against him, he is Dong Zhuo's closest relative, if something really happens, Dong Zhuo will not do anything to his son-in-law, and he is an outsider, don't forget his identity, and follow Niu Fu to mix in.

This battle, whether won or lost, is not good for Jia Xu personally. However, Jia Xu didn't want to really offend Niu Fu because of this matter.

He has never been a person who goes back to offend his colleagues because of official business, especially since this person is still his direct superior.

Then, I saw Jia Xu suddenly stand up, clasped his hands in front of his forehead, leaned forward sharply, and gave a big gift to Niu Fu.

Jia Xu's action surprised Niu Fu. He hurriedly stretched out his hand to help Jia Xu up, and said, "Why is Wenhe like this? ”

"General, my subordinates are not completely sure at this time, help the general break the enemy, please kill me!" When Niu Fu heard this, he was immediately startled.

"Why did Wen He say that?" Jia Xu said helplessly: "As a subordinate official, you can't come up with a perfect strategy to help the general break the enemy, which is no different from death, rather than holding the country and the general accountable in the future, this time you might as well ask for guilt, or leave a good reputation, it is better than being jealous and scolding the general in the future." Niu Fu and Jia Xu haven't known each other for a day or two, and when he heard Jia Xu say this, his heart suddenly dawned.

He probably understood what Jia Xu meant. Jia Xu's character, he still knows more or less. He wanted to obey Dong Zhuo's orders and not formally confront Liu Jian, but Niu Fu wanted to do the opposite...... Then Jia Xu didn't want to play with Niu Fu from the bottom of his heart.

However, Jia Xu is not such an irresponsible person. He was willing to give Niu Fu advice to deal with Liu Jian, but he didn't want to put the responsibility for victory or defeat on himself.

In short, the fundamental meaning of Jia Xu's play is: I will give you the plan to fight, but I don't guarantee that you can win, I don't want the credit if you win or lose, and you don't have to take the responsibility, do you think you can do it?

Okay, let's play, no, if you kill me, I won't have any other tricks. Jia Xu drew a path for Niu Fu, so how would Niu Fu choose?

Obviously, the path that Jia Xu drew for him was still very much in line with Niu Fu's needs. He immediately agreed: "Wenhe has a sincere heart, I already know, soldiers, the country's major affairs!" The situation of the battlefield is changing rapidly, how can it be all under the control of Wen He alone? You just have to tell me your strategy, and I will adopt it at my own discretion, and it has nothing to do with you whether you win or lose! ”

"Also, if I am in Yanjin, to the southwest is Suzao County, and now the remnants of Qiao Mao and Bao Xin are stationed there, although according to their current strength, there is no threat to me, but just in case, there is still Lao Wenhe to lead his troops to retreat a hundred miles to the west!"

"First, you can help me take care of the grain road in the rear, and second, you can be closer to monitor the movements of the thieves in Suozao County." When Jia Xu heard this, he immediately thanked Niu Fu.

In fact, the combined forces of Qiao Mao and Bao Xin almost made Lu Bu and Zhang Liao and others beat last time, where do they dare to send troops easily?

They hid in the sour jujube city, and they couldn't wait to build the city wall more than twice as much as the original before they could rest assured. Niu Fu gave Jia Xu a reason to leave his Chinese army and stay in the rear.

In this way, whether it is victory or defeat, the battle between himself and Liu Jian has nothing to do with Jia Xu.

In fact, Niu Fu didn't like Jia Xu's character in his heart. If you have merit, you will hide if you have something, and you are like a chicken, how embarrassed to go out is that you are from Liangzhou, but such a person is also very good, at least you will not take credit from yourself.

Jia Xu saw that Niu Fu promised to prop himself to the rear, so he settled down. He said to Niu Fu: "General, although our army is invincible in the field, Liu Jian knows himself and knows the enemy, he is stationed in Yanjin, held at the ferry, can attack and retreat, and can defend, if our army is too involved in the Kwantung coalition army, he can also take advantage of the gap to attack, it is really a wonderful move." ”

"I heard that in Liu Jian's army, there are many strong bows and crossbows, and the foot soldiers are quite elite, if the general attacks Yanjin, he will definitely suffer a lot of casualties, and he may not be able to win, so if you want to defeat Liu Jian, there is only one way!"

"What's the solution?" Jia Xu said: "Cut off its food." Niu Fu suddenly felt energetic when he heard this. But he soon wilted again.

"Henan and Hebei, the area is vast, and there is another horse Pingchuan, there are many counties, everywhere in the township, Liu Jian from Hebei grain road, no less than a dozen, how to break it?" Jia Xu said: "If Liu Jian and Yuan Shao are united, his grain path may have many choices and cannot be broken,"

"But now, he is not all the way with the Kwantung princes, and even with Yuan Shao, there is still a gap."

"Transporting grain from Hebei to Henan, he can't extend the route too much, if there are too many counties passed, Liu Jian may also be negligent, after all, most of the land of Yanzhou is controlled by Yuan Shao's vassals, once Yuan Shao orders to cut off Liu Jian's grain route in Henan, Liu Jian's 30,000 soldiers and horses will be alone and destroyed!" When Niu Fu heard this, he suddenly realized.

"Wen and Gao Theory!" Jia Xu said: "Therefore, Liu Jian's current grain road is still very easy to deduce. After that, he saw Jia Xu walk to the map in the tent, and pointed to the Yanjin County above: "In the Central Plains, there are many county seats, why does Liu Jian want to garrison Yanjin County to defend it?" It is because there is a Yanjin ferry here, and it is backed by the Yellow River, which can directly seal the Yanjin ferry and not be disturbed by outsiders. "Niu Fu is not a dull person, and when he heard this, he already roughly understood.

He crossed from Liyang to Yanjin...... Transporting grain directly by water? Jia Xu said: "On the other side of Baima County, the nearest ferry port is Liyangdu, these two places are only separated by a river, almost close at hand, and not within the territory of a group of herdsmen. ”

"But, again, this strategy may not be successful, the chance of victory or defeat is half and half, after all, Liu Jian is a person who is good at using soldiers, and the general has to carefully inquire about the information before doing this method, and it is necessary to plan many times." Niu Fu nodded suddenly: "Half the chance of winning, but it's enough!" Please Wenhe teach me how to march and how to calculate! ”
