What kind of person Jia Xu is, as soon as he is reminded of something, he will suddenly think of the key to the matter.

Xu Rong reminded him to attack with water and fire, which made Jia Xu sober up all of a sudden.

If it is replaced by himself, from the perspective of Sun Ce, Huang Gai and others, this time he fights with Liu Jian, if he wants to successfully defeat the imperial army and avenge Sun Jian, then it seems that there is no good way at all, and only by attacking with fire can he have a chance to win.

Otherwise, just based on the competition of the strength of the soldiers on both sides, then in terms of Sun Ce's current strength and the quality of the soldiers' equipment, he and Liu Jian will fight for a hundred years, and I am afraid that he will have to lose for a hundred years.

It's just that if you want to take a fire and water offensive, you may be able to imagine it now, but can Sun Ce, Huang Gai and others think about it?

But there is no need for Xu Rong to continue to remind him, once Jia Xu sees the opportunity, then his thoughts will be like a spring, no matter how vicious and subtle the strategy, he can think of it, it must be far better than Xu Rong.

Sun Ce and Huang Gai couldn't think of using fire to deal with the soldiers and horses of the imperial court for a while, so Jia Xu naturally had a way to make them think of the way to use fire to deal with Liu Jian.

So, I saw Jia Xu stand up, arched his hand at Xu Rong, and said: "The old general is really a pillar of the country, the prime minister is assisted by a famous general like the old general, it is a great luck, the old man immediately reported the old general's ideas to the prime minister, as for how to deal with Sun Ce and Huang Gai, the old general needs to do a lot of work!" ”

Xu Rong said with a smile: "This is my business, why not remind Jia Gong?" Jia Gong rest assured, the old man must want to do his best for the prime minister! ”

When Jia Xu heard Xu Rong say this, he nodded with satisfaction.

"If this is the case, the old man will leave first, and General Xu will not send it far away, and wait for the old man to deliver the news to General Xu."

Jia Xu's words are naturally deep and Xu Rong's heart.

……

After discussing with Xu Rong, Jia Xu immediately went to Liu Jian's handsome tent to report to Liu Jian.

After listening to Jia Xu's detailed account of his meeting with Xu Rong, Liu Jian clapped his hands with satisfaction.

"Whether it is the ministers under my command or the generals under my command, they are so for the overall situation of the court, they die hard day and night, think day and night, and do their best, it is really a gratifying thing, there are such loyal ministers and good generals, why not break the Yangping Pass!"

Jia Xu said with a smile: "General Xu's advice has nothing to do with us, and the prime minister doesn't need to praise the old man so much." ”

Liu Jian said with a smile: "How can it have nothing to do with you?" Although General Xu raised this matter, how could he make Sun Ce think of the fire attack? You have to have a lot of planning with Laiwen, I think you already have an idea in mind, right? ”

Jia Xu said in his heart, I'm afraid you are the only one who knows me in this world......

"Prime Minister, there is a way for Sun Ce to take a fire attack on our army, but this method will be a bit risky."

"However, as long as we deal with it cautiously, take precautions, make a steady layout, and at the same time order the school government to carefully check the movements of Yangping Pass, it should not be a big deal, and in the end it should be able to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, it depends on whether the prime minister is willing to take this risk."

Liu Jian immediately said: "Then tell me what you think." ”

Jia Xu then gave up:

"There is a way for the last officer, maybe you can try it, the way is very simple! But with the skills of Huang Gai and Sun Ce and others, they shouldn't be able to see the true meaning. ”

Liu Jian said: "Wenhe, let me hear your strategy." ”

……

In August, Liu Jian once again attacked Yangping Pass twice, although he did not take the pass, but also caused a lot of losses to the soldiers on the pass, causing the morale of the Yizhou army and the Sun family army to drop sharply again.

But at the same time, Liu Jian also made changes.

After all, when the army came to Yizhou, it had the potential to sweep the southwest, but unfortunately it was still blocked by Yangping Pass.

In this way, it is also a big impact on the morale of the imperial court's army.

Both sides are now more tormented, one side is demoralized, desperately trying to protect the city pass, and the sharp spirit of the other side is also beginning to gradually show low because of the solid Yangping Pass, and the sharp soldiers and sharp edges began to fall.

Under such circumstances, Huang Gai felt that the time had come for him to surrender to Liu Jian.

So, he began to find Sun Ce and give advice to Sun Ce.

Sun Ce also thinks this is a good thing.

However, Sun Ce was still skeptical about whether Huang Gai could join forces with him to kill Liu Jian after surrendering to the other party.

As the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, Liu Jian is not an ordinary person, he is surrounded by elite soldiers and fierce generals, and in the strict Han army camp, Liu Jian must be in the safest territory.

However, even if he couldn't kill Liu Jian, Sun Ce still told Huang Gai his other thoughts...... If he really can't do it, he will find the location of Xu Rongzhi, the general under Liu Jian, if he can kill Xu Rong, it can be regarded as avenging half of Sun Jian's blood revenge.

However, Huang Gai did not agree with Sun Ce's idea!

He believes that although Xu Rong is also the murderer of Sun Jian, if his own plan is used on Xu Rong, it is impossible to behead Liu Jian in the future, which is tantamount to startling the snake.

However, if you don't kill Xu Rong and kill Liu Jian, the success rate is really not high, which puts Huang Gai, Sun Ce and others in a dilemma.

After this incident, Sun Ce and Huang Gai both scratched their heads a little.

Indeed, this time it really gave them a bit of a headache! If you miss this opportunity, if you want to kill Liu Jian in the future, it will be difficult.

Just when Sun Ce and Huang Gai were a little worried, a herald hurriedly walked in and reported to the two of them: "General, Liu Jian's army has made some changes, and it seems that it is opening up the camp!" ”

Sun Ce and Huang Gai were stunned when they heard this.

They didn't expect that Liu Jian would actually pull out the camp at this time.

What is it for?

"Where did Liu Jian move the camp?"

The guard bowed his hand to Sun Ce and said: "Now, Liu Jian has just opened the camp, and it is not known where to move it specifically. ”

Sun Ce waved his hand at the guard and said, "Investigate quickly, after Liu Jian finishes moving the camp, report to me in time if there is any movement, there must be no delay, if the situation is found out and the situation is favorable, there will be a heavy reward." ”

"No!"

Then the guard left in a hurry, and only Sun Ce and Huang Gai were left in the hall.

Sun Ce turned his head and looked at Huang Gai suspiciously, and asked, "What happened to this Liu thief who suddenly moved to the camp?" ”

Huang Gai said suspiciously: "Isn't it because you can't take Yangping Pass for a long time, and you want to withdraw the army?" ”

Sun Ce shook his head with a wry smile and said, "How is this possible? Liu Jian gathered an army of 50,000 or 60,000 people, and they were all elites in Guanzhong and Liangzhou, and he also transported a lot of siege equipment to Yizhou, how could he retreat immediately just because he fought a few battles in Yangping Pass? This simply doesn't make sense. ”

Huang Gai also knew in his heart that this matter was unreasonable, but he couldn't think of what Liu Jian was doing when he transferred the camp at this time.

It wasn't until I went to inquire about intelligence in the afternoon that I brought back a correct answer to Sun Ce and Huang Gai.

Unexpectedly, Liu Jian actually felt that the heat in August was unbearable, so he moved all the soldiers and horses to a shady place, and let the soldiers of the three armies go to escape the heat.

Sun Ce and Huang Gai were stunned when they first heard this, and the two of them really didn't believe it.

But then, the two of them suddenly seemed to think of something.

I saw Sun Ce trembling and said to the scout: "You send a few more groups of men and horses to carefully inquire about the news of Liu Jian's camp, and draw a map of his camp for me, remember, you must be careful!"

"No, the subordinates are determined to share the worries of the general!"

The scout immediately made a promise to Sun Ce, and then hurriedly went out to investigate, and this time it was not until the next morning that the scout came to Sun Ce again, and gave Sun Ce the news they had obtained, and they drew the layout of Liu Jianxin's camp on a silk silk, even including the mountains and rivers next to it, and gave a general description.

After listening to the scout's description, Sun Ce and Huang Gai's faces both showed joy.

"God help me, God help me."

Sun Ce slapped the table with a smile and instructed the scout: "Quickly invite all the generals, including the generals of Yizhou, to the conference hall!" I have important matters to counsel with them. “

Not long after, the generals of Yizhou came to Sun Ce one after another and listened to him tell about Liu Jian's army pulling out the camp and changing the place to set up camp.

After talking about Liu Jian's camp, Sun Ce showed the drawings reported by the scout to the generals present one by one.

Then I saw Sun Ce smile and say to these people present:

"Liu Deran thinks very highly of himself, and at the same time he is also full of arrogance, and now he will arrange all his soldiers to go to a dense place in the mountains and forests, this August is hot, if you attack with fire, won't your army be destroyed?"

Zhang Ren looked at the layout on the picture seriously, pondered seriously for a while, and said, "Not bad, not bad!" Liu Jian moved the soldiers and horses to the mountains and forests, this is to let the soldiers rest and rebuild their morale! and fight us for the long ......"

Liu Xuan, the general of Shuzhong, also said approvingly: "Liu Jian fought a protracted war with us, but I didn't expect that we didn't want to fight a protracted war with him. ”

"He acted like this, thinking that he also calculated that we would shrink into Yangping Pass, and we would not dare to clash with him head-on, and this time he could be said to have calculated himself into it."

Shu General Zhuo Ying analyzed: "In fact, according to common sense, it is reasonable for Liu Deran to think so, if it is changed to me standing in his position, comparing the military strength and strength of the two sides horizontally, I will definitely feel that if our soldiers and horses go out of Yangping Pass, they will not have the strength to fight with him at all." ”

"Only by relying on the sinister nature of Yangping Pass, Liu Jian's army was blocked outside Yangping Pass, and after a long time, the other party's food and grass were insufficient, and the morale of the three armies was low, so they naturally retreated!"

In fact, it is not surprising that everyone thinks so, according to the general common sense method, no one will take such a big risk and move the soldiers and horses to a place with lush mountains and forests, just to lure their own side out of the customs, and according to common sense, they will not go out of the customs under normal circumstances, and will only defend here, so no matter from which point of view, the Yizhou officials and troops will not ponder in the direction of Liu Jian's premeditation.

Moreover, Hanzhong in August is indeed sweltering, and Liu Jian has been unable to tackle key problems for a long time, if it is replaced by the idea of a normal general, now is indeed the time when the morale and state of the troops are at their lowest, and it is not possible to do some actions to restore the morale and fighting spirit of the soldiers.

And solving the problem of unbearable heat is the primary task for Liu Jian!

Afterwards, I saw Sun Ce say to everyone: "At this juncture, it is also the time to send Huang Gongfu to surrender to Liu Jian, wait to find out the situation of the enemy army, and then make calculations, if you can attack with fire, maybe you can solve the great difficulty of my Yangping Pass!" ”

Huang Gai understood that whether this task of avenging the old general was on him, and he immediately said to Sun Ce: "General rest assured, Huang will definitely live up to the general's hopes!" ”

……

Subsequently, Huang Gai sent Lü Meng to meet Liu Jian again, Chen Ming himself had found a good opportunity to be willing to surrender, and made an appointment with Liu Jian to lead the crowd to return to Shun.

And Liu Jian sent the veteran Xu Rong to lead the soldiers and horses to meet Huang Gai under the Yangping Pass.

In order to reflect the authenticity of their submission, Huang Gai and Sun Ce also made a big drama about the internal generals, on the day when Huang Gai tangled the "like-minded" people out of the customs, there was a commotion in front of the gate of Yangping Pass, and the Yizhou general Liu Bi personally led his troops to chase Huang Gai, and there was a great tendency to block the siege, but fortunately Xu Rong came to relieve the siege.

Xu Rong commanded his elite soldiers, killed Liu Bi's soldiers and horses, opened the way for Huang Gai and others, and personally retreated to meet Huang Gai towards Liu Jian's army camp. When he arrived at Liu Jian's village, Huang Gai immediately bowed down in front of Liu Jian.

"The last general, Huang Gai, meet the prime minister, Prime Minister Kenna descended to me, a rebellious person, I am really open-minded, tolerant of all rivers, Huang admires it very much!"

Liu Jian stretched out his hand and lifted Huang Gai up from the ground, looking him up and down.

Huang Gai's age is not young, he is in his fifties, the beard and hair on his face are a little white, he is tall and strong, very burly, he is from Lingling, but his body exudes the same bold air as the people of the northern border counties.

Liu Jian carefully looked at Huang Gai's face, and muttered in his heart.

To be honest, but from the point of view of appearance, Liu Jian felt that Huang Gai was not a person who could surrender, this person had a heroic face, his eyes were bright, and he looked like a loyal minister.

I don't know how a person of such a appearance can come up with such a plan as a bitter meat plan.

To be honest, it's not suitable for deception.

Liu Jian stepped forward with a smile, helped Huang Gai up from the ground, and said: "It is really a great fortune for the country to come to Shun after the public overcome!" ”

"There is a public cover, why worry about Yangping not breaking?"

"However, the public reply still needs to carefully explain the affairs of Yizhou to me, so that I can understand the current situation in Yizhou."
