Zhang Xiu heard Jia Xu say this, and hurriedly said: "Jia Gong, what should I do?" ”

The two entered the hall, Jia Xu waved his hand, showing the surprise of the subordinates leaving, and then said to Zhang Xiu: "Now this situation, Wancheng can't be saved." ”

Zhang Xiu's expression darkened, and he handed the letter in his hand to Jia Xu.

Jia Xu waved his hand and said, "Don't look at it, I know, it's from Jingzhou, and the news that Jiangdong has been attacked." ”

Zhang Xiu sighed and said, "Jia Gong is still smart, you can guess this." ”

Jia Xu said: "Recently, there have been people going north to Nanyang, and something must have happened in Jingnan." ”

"My lord, you are so anxious to find me again."

"Except for the emergency military situation from Jingzhou, Jingzhou may not be able to stop the Jiangdong army, and there is no other possible thing."

Zhang Xiu sat down in the main seat dejectedly, and while pouring wine by himself, he said, "Then what should we do now?" Do you want to take refuge in Cao Cao again? ”

"Last time, we killed the captain of his personal guard, his eldest son, nephew and others, this kind of bitter hatred, even if the gods came, it was impossible to accept us to surrender again."

Jia Xu shook his head and said, "Not necessarily. ”

Zhang Xiu raised her head suspiciously.

Jia Xu said: "Now Jingzhou can't stop Jiangdong, once Jingzhou is taken by Jiangdong, the situation of half of Jiangdong is inevitable." ”

"Cao Cao has such a neighbor by his side, how can he sleep peacefully?"

"In Jizhou and Youzhou in the north, recent intelligence has always shown that Yuan Shao is far stronger than Gongsun Zhan."

"It is inevitable that Yuan Shao will win Gongsun Zhan."

"Yuan Shao was born in the third duke, and he was ambitious, and he wanted to dominate the world."

"Therefore, when the Son of Heaven suffered, when the princes were the king, he did not make a move, otherwise, the Son of Heaven would not have fallen into the hands of Cao Cao."

"Now that Cao Cao controls the Son of Heaven, once Yuan Shao takes Gongsun Zhan, he will inevitably not even have scruples about the old relationship between him and Cao Cao in the past, but will uproot Cao Cao and the Son of Heaven."

"As far as Yuan Shao is concerned, the Son of Heaven is of no help to him, and his identity is not much worse than that of the Son of Heaven."

"Cao Cao knows this better than anyone else."

"Therefore, he has to face two fierce opponents in the north, Yuan Shao and Jiangdong, at the same time."

"Compared with Yuan Shao, although Jiangdong seems to be at peace with Cao Cao now, Jiangdong Hefei is a stone's throw away from Xudu."

"If our Wancheng falls into the hands of Jiangdong again, lord, if you are Cao Cao and you stand in Xudu, how would you feel?"

Zhang Xiu shuddered and said, "I was restless all night." ”

Jia Xu said: "Yes, whoever it is, it will be intolerable." ”

"Once Jiangdong sends out from Wancheng and Hefei, it is inevitable that Xu will be defeated."

"Moreover, if Jiangdong takes Jingzhou this time, this half of the country will be formed, whether it is talent, grain and grass, it is far from being comparable to Cao Cao."

"Jingzhou and Xuzhou have always been grain producing places, and together, even Jizhou has no fear."

"And the Yanzhou and Yuzhou owned by Cao Cao, plus the Sili he just occupied, the land of the three states are not grain producing areas."

"The turbulent times of these years have led to constant wars in these three places, and the people who are still here are not one out of ten, and the population is insufficient."

"Cao Cao has no way to fight it."

"Therefore, his desire for Wancheng may even be more important than his own life."

"With Wancheng, there is no need to move the capital, at least it can curb the possibility of the development of Jiangdong to the north."

"Without Wancheng, relocation is inevitable."

"Moreover, even his current inheritance, he can't keep it."

"Of course, Jiangdong is now fighting for many years, and has just won Xuzhou, Jingzhou and other places, so he must recuperate as soon as possible, so he must be unwilling to face Yuan Shao."

"Therefore, keep Cao Cao for the time being, so that it can be used to counter Yuan Shao's southward buffer."

"At most, Jiangdong can only open the battle in Xuzhou to drag Yuan Shao."

"So, Cao Cao's south will be safe for a few years."

"However, Cao Cao is not Liu Biao's generation, and he will definitely not be willing to do so."

"Therefore, if Cao Cao gets the information about Jingzhou now, he may already be rectifying the soldiers and will conquer our Wancheng for the second time."

"If we take refuge in Cao Cao for the second time now, even if there is great hatred before, Cao Cao will accept us."

"It's just that we have to do some superficial work now."

Zhang Xiu asked suspiciously, "Surface kung fu?" ”

Jia Xu nodded and said, "Yes, now immediately let people build three tombs outside the city, one is Dian Wei, one is Cao Ang, and one is Cao Anmin." ”

Zhang Xiu said with a sad face: "In the battle that day, these three people were divided into corpses by the chaotic army, and they didn't know where to throw their bones. ”

Jia Xu said patiently: "Just fix the grave!" As for the inside of the tomb, just find a few white bones and throw them in, if Cao Cao gets Wancheng, do you think he will really open the tomb? ”

"The bones are not cold, and it is taboo to open the grave."

"After a few years, even if the grave is moved again, who can be sure who the owner of the white bones is?"

"Besides, we're also buried in a thick way."

Zhang Xiu suddenly said, "Then, we are ready now, and then welcome Cao Cao?" ”

Jia Xu waved his hand.

Zhang Xiu said blankly: "Jia Gong, I'm a little confused. ”

Jia Xu said: "Lord, the three holes of the cunning rabbit, why do you only drill one alley?" ”

"I'm just letting the lord be ready to welcome Cao Cao."

"Because, Cao Cao must be preparing a large army."

"If Jiangdong can't take Jingzhou quickly, and Cao Cao attacks again, we can't stop it for too long."

"Now that Jingzhou is too busy to take care of itself, it is impossible to help us."

"At that time, we can only vote for Cao Cao again."

"However, the possibility of this situation is not as likely as Jiangdong to take Jingzhou."

"Jiangdong and Jingzhou are feuding, Jingzhou's family has a big business, and before, Jiangdong has never set foot in Jingzhou."

"Now Jiangdong has entered the hinterland of Jingzhou."

"This shows that there have been major changes in Xiangyang, Jingzhou, for example, Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao died."

Zhang Xiu was stunned and said, "Won't it?" The last time I saw Liu Biao, he was still ruddy. ”

Jia Xu said: "Anything, it is possible. ”

"The more unlikely it is, the more shocking it will be when it happens."

"Jingzhou is the situation now."

"There was a major change in Xiangyang, Jingzhou, which led to the inability of Jingzhou to unify against the enemy, and Jiangdong happened to grasp this information for the first time."

"By grasping the major defect of Jingzhou's temporary inability to unify the enemy, Jiangdong can destroy the withering and penetrate the belly of Jingzhou."

"The general trend of Jiangdong has been formed, and this is like a flood that bursts the embankment, and it can't be stopped."

"Jingzhou, it is very likely to be gone."

"Jingbei is a general of the civil service, and it is difficult to support it alone."

"Once Jingzhou is gone, this is a good opportunity for us."

"Taking refuge in Jiangdong and contributing to the momentum of half of Jiangdong, as far as Jiangdong is concerned, we are heroes, and my lord and I have a good ending. At least, the second half of his life will have no worries about food and clothing, and prosperity and wealth will not be a problem. ”

"I know that the lord has always wanted to return to Wuwei with these thousands of parts."

"Taking refuge in Jiangdong is also the way that the lord is most likely to take them back."

"It's just—"

Zhang Xiu was enthusiastically boiled by Jia Xu's words, as if he saw the dawn in the dark.

This "just" instantly pulled him down the abyss.

Zhang Xiu hurriedly said: "Just? ”

Jia Xu let out a long sigh and said, "Lord, before this, we all have to defend Wancheng. ”

"And, be firm."

"Don't hesitate."

"In troubled times, the princes are afraid of half-heartedness."

Zhang Xiu nodded heavily and said, "Okay!" ”

Jia Xu continued: "Also, no matter whether we end up taking refuge in Cao Cao or Jiangdong, we can't be as free as before. At least, it can't be reused by others in general. ”

"Whether it is Cao Cao or Jiangdong, they have their strong staff group in this situation."

"Cao Cao has the Yingchuan clan."

"There are major families in Jiangdong in Jiangdong."

"Lord, you have to let go of the competitive heart of your youth and learn to forbear."

Jia Xu raised his head and sighed: "Actually, being competitive and glorifying the lintel is not the same for a while, and it is not very beneficial. ”

"The world is impermanent, and there is no flower for a hundred days."

"Today, he is a guest, and he is a prisoner."

"On the contrary, he is forbearant and low-key, just like the long stream of water, which can always be obtained."

"In the future, once Wancheng is sacrificed, it will be difficult for me and the lord to get together again."

"I can't remind my lord either."

"Lord, you have to take care of yourself."

"I don't want to risk my life in the future to collect your body."

Jia Xu's last few words were very sad.

Zhang Xiu's eyes were also a little red, and he said, "Jia Gong, I remember your teachings, and you have to take care of yourself." ”
