Chapter 1638 Battle for Yecheng III

Jia Xu was able to find Yan Xing in advance, not because he was smarter than Li Ru, but because Jia Xu could get more information in Hebei.

Jia Xu has been eyeing Yan Xing for a long time.

However, Li Ru's layout in Hebei is obviously not as good as Jia Xu's. He didn't update Yan Xing's news in time, but he had to wait until Ju Yi reminded him.

The Yelou under Jia Xu's command has condensed most of the spies in Cao Wei's formation, plus his ability, and some arrangements in Xiliang in the past. In addition, he has the mentality of learning and imitating Jing Wusi.

That's why Yelou has developed rapidly, and is now the second largest spy network in the world, sweeping the whole world, including the southwest, with very strong strength.

On the contrary, although Li Ru also integrated some spies under Liu Bei's command, Liu Bei's development in this area is not as good as Cao Cao's, nor is it as important as Cao Cao's emphasis on the transmission of news.

So Jia Xu already knew that there was still a military force available, but Li Ru realized it later.

Jia Xu went to see Li Ru.

When the two met, it was not to reminisce about the old days. In this troubled world, each was his master, but it was just a matter of getting to the bottom of things. Jia Xu got a feel for Li Ru's bottom line.

Li Ru's success fell short, but Jia Xu didn't expect Jia Xu to hide such a trick.

When Jia Xu came to him, he didn't intend to give Yan Xing a second choice. He looked very calm and confident: "General Yan, this is no longer the era of grand masters. Xiliang has no future. The future lies in the Central Plains. You If you want to survive, so do I!"

"You are telling me that my ability is not enough to dominate one side!" Yan Xing gritted his teeth.

Although this is true, but being deliberately reminded, I still feel a little bit ashamed.

"If you have the ability, you don't need to stay here!"

Jia Xu said calmly.

"Even so, Cao Wei may not be the only way to go for a certain family. Looking at the world, I can vote for Beiyan or Dongwu!"

Yan Xing said proudly: "With my ability, I will definitely be the guest of honor!"

"maybe!"

Jia Xu smiled and didn't care.

Yan Xing's pupils were a little gloomy, he stared at Jia Xu, a little unpredictable Jia Xu's mind, when he was in Xiliang, he was most annoyed by these talkative people.

Cheng Gongying, the counselor under Han Sui's command, was such a person.

Speaking of Cheng Gongying, his hatred for Ming increased by another three points. Cheng Gongying's surrender made him feel very humiliated. This is an era of Xiliang people's betrayal.

"General Yan, you are very clear in your heart, who can achieve great things, and who can only be a passer-by!" Jia Xu said calmly: "Can you still not see through the battle of Guandu?"

His words made Yan Xing's heart skip a beat.

The Battle of Guandu ended so quickly that he couldn't react so quickly. He was really ready to go south for reinforcements. After all, he didn't want to be a slave of the three surnames.

Unfortunately, Yuan Shao's defeat was too fast, which made his situation a bit embarrassing.

"After this battle, the princes of the Han Dynasty must unite, but who is the leader? Can't you see that, maybe you think that King Yan or King Wu can suppress the prestige of King Wei!"

Jia Xu's voice was a little cold, but very confident.

The battle at Guandu has almost started to spread, and the reputation of Wei Wang Cao Cao will rise to a higher level, and his prestige will be everywhere.

In this battle, the fighting power of the Wei army was also superior to that of the Yan army and the Wu army.

At the beginning, Cao Cao would rather not get Hebei, but fought this battle independently, just to take the initiative in the alliance in the future. With the endorsement of this battle, neither Liu Bei nor Sun Ce dared to take the lead.

The position of the leader of this alliance must be King Wei.

Yan Xing was impulsive, not stupid. He understood the overall situation. When the news of the Guandu battle came, he already felt that the merits of King Wei could suppress the court.

After all, this big man is ruled by the king of Wei. He has also thought about it, but he is not reconciled. Now that Jia Xu has nakedly dissected his thoughts, he can't sit still anymore.

"Even if I vote for the king of Wei, will the king of Wei accept me?" Yan Xing said tentatively: "People in the Central Plains are treating us Xiliang people as barbarians. When Yuan Shao sent someone to recruit me, he also said it nicely. , but in the end, he still treats me like a dog, a watchdog!"

"That's Yuan Benchu. My king's demeanor is not comparable to such a villain. I am also from Xiliang, but I can be regarded as highly by my king. My king treats talents with respect, regardless of their background. He can tolerate even Lu Fengxian. I can't tolerate you alone, Yan Xing, if you have greater ability, I can make you have a higher status than Lu Fengxian, and in the Wei army, whoever has it can be the leader!" Jia Xu said firmly.

Speaking of Lu Bu, Yan Xing's heart moved slightly, he was a little moved, because Lu Bu's reputation is the worst in the world, but in Weiying, he is still quite valued.

In other words, if I have enough ability, I will definitely be valued by King Wei.

However, Yan Xing was still a little hesitant. His hesitation did not mean that he was unwilling to work, but that he was a little apprehensive and confused about the future.

Now under his command, there are only five or six thousand Xiliang soldiers left, and the independent side doesn't want to. This amount of troops will be eaten up every minute without even leaving bones.

To vote for the Ming Army, don't even think about it, he definitely won't, so there are not many people he can choose.

Wu Guo is very strange.

Moreover, he was far away in Jiangdong, and he didn't want to go south, so there were only Beiyan and Cao Wei. Compared with Beiyan, he was more optimistic about Cao Wei.

At least one thing Jia Xu said was right. After the Battle of Guandu, Wei Wang Cao Cao will become the leader of the Han princes. He is the king of the princes, and he will hold the Han court and be in charge of righteousness.

He is indeed the best object of surrender.

"General Yan, chances don't come often. Now the main force of the king is resting in Guandu, so there is no time. We are determined to win Yecheng, and your strength will be revealed!"

Jia Xu knew that Yan Xingxing was determined, so he added fire: "If you can make this contribution for the king, and you are willing to guarantee your life, you will have a future in the future. You and I are both from Xiliang. If you watch and help each other in the camp, you may not be able to become a marquis and a prime minister in the future!"

Hearing this, Yan Xing took a deep breath, stepped down from his seat, and then bowed his hands to salute Jia Xu: "Mr. If you come here, you will live up to the kindness of Mr. today's persuasion!"

Jia Xu laughed, she really got the upper hand, Yan Xing had nowhere to go at this time, the ants on the hot pot couldn't find a way out, and if there was a way out, they would rush in regardless.

So whether it was him or Li Ru, it was easy to convince him.

"General Yan, you are welcome. You and I will have more contacts in the future. You help me take charge of the night tower, and I will help you gain a firm foothold in the army. The Wei army lost its troops in the battle of Wancheng. Now is the time when talents are needed. As you are My ability and my strategy will definitely be valued by the king of Wei, and I will be able to stand alone in the future!"

Jia Xu made a promise, and it was sincere. To be honest, Ma Teng is unreliable, and Ma Xiu is even more incompetent. Some, without military power to rely on, he felt a little unsafe in the Wei camp.

"We must cooperate!"

Yan Xing has been very worried these days, and he finally let go of it.

He whispered: "Sir, I have a gift for you, I hope it will help the current situation in Yecheng!"

"what gift?"

"Come with me!"

Yan Xing took the lead, Jia Xu followed, and the two, one in front and one behind, crossed the backyard of the county government office and came to the military camp behind.

In the school grounds, soldiers from Xiliang were practicing.

"Is this the only remaining elite under your command?"

Jia Xu squinted his eyes, he could see the bravery of these soldiers and Xiliang soldiers, which was much better than the morale of the Longxi Army.

"Back when Duke Han was defeated, I was able to gather some soldiers. Later, I gathered some soldiers from Xiliang. It's just that I have been working hard for Yuan Benchu ​​all these years, and I lost a lot!"

Yan Xing sighed: "It is the duty of the soldiers to fight on the battlefield and wrap their corpses in horse leather. It's just that a certain trustee is not a person. Facing these soldiers, I feel a little guilty in my heart!"

He worked hard for Yuan Benchu, but he didn't even get the treatment he deserved. The soldiers who died in battle disappeared from this world like unknown knights without leaving their names behind.

"Xiliang people will remember them!"

Jia Xu was also a little depressed.

Xiliang, since the defeat of Dong Zhuo, they are all like pigs and dogs. Trees fall and monkeys scatter, and the scattered monkeys are not as good as pigs and dogs. The lucky ones can vote for the Ming Lord like him, and the unlucky ones are like Yan Xing. Don't feel too bad.

They went into a cellar.

A person is imprisoned in the cellar.

This person is somewhat familiar.

"Yuan Tan?"

Jia Xu didn't expect Yuan Tan to be in Yan Xing's hands.

"He was defeated and escaped, and I bumped into him. When he came back from Qingzhou, he tried to recruit my soldiers and horses, but I beat him out. Now he falls into my hands, which is also karma!"

Yan Xing said with a sneer.

"traitor!"

Yuan Tan's hair was disheveled, and when he saw Yan Xing, he immediately rushed over with a fierce face, screaming and drinking desperately.

He is a dignified son of a brother, and he is sad and angry in his heart, but he doesn't have enough courage to commit suicide. Living like this makes him very uncomfortable.

"Am I a traitor?"

Yan Xing sneered: "Don't forget, who saved you on the way, not me, you have already died under Ju Yi's subordinates, the one who betrayed Yuan Benchu ​​was never me, but your most important general!"

Yuan Tan was suffocated when he heard this.

Ju Yi would kill him, which he did not expect. The change of the day was also his nightmare, and the news from Guandu was his despair.

Zhou Guo is finished.

He's screwed too.

If it wasn't for Feng Ji's quick reaction, he would have been killed when Ju Yi attacked the camp, but he escaped, but unexpectedly fell into the hands of Yan Xing.

Yan Xing is a general of Xiliang, the most untrustworthy general of Xiliang. In the Zhou army system, Yan Xing has always been excluded from all generals.

"Very good!"

Jia Xu laughed, sometimes luck is so good, when someone brings a pillow when he wants to sleep, he still thinks about how to compete with Ju Yi.

Ju Yi is the great general of the state of Zhou, and he also has Yuan Shang in his hands. Yuan Shang is Yuan Shao's third son and his favorite son, who can be a puppet.

Yuan Shao has been in charge of Hebei for so many years, and the foundation is still very deep. Even if the army is defeated, the local aristocratic families, gentry and wealthy families, I don't know how many people still turn to him.

The existence of Yuan Shang can make some people directly surrender to Beiyan.

This is what the Central Plains court does not want to see.

But as long as Yuan Tan is in his hands, Ju Yi can do it, and he can do it too. Yuan Shang is not a descendant, and he is not as important as Yuan Tan in terms of status.

Jia Xu liked Yan Xing's great gift very much.

But if Yuan Tan wanted to cooperate with him, he had to put in some effort.

"Is he the only one who escaped?" Jia Xu asked.

"Yuan Shao's advisor, Feng Ji, led three hundred elites to protect him and escape. When he arrived in Qinghe, there were less than a hundred people left!"

Yan Xingdao.

"What about Fengji?"

"He is a civil servant. He almost died in such a catastrophe. He was shot in the abdomen with an arrow, but he survived and is now cultivating. I think this person's plan is fair, and it is still a courtesy to him!"

Yan Xingdao: "So it was placed in a courtyard in the front yard!"

Jia Xu glanced at Yuan Tan and asked, "Yuan Tan, Yuan Benchu ​​died in battle, and your younger brother Yuan Xi was also beheaded. Yuan Shang is still young, so he will inevitably become someone else's puppet. Now do you want to die or do you want to die?" If you want to live, think clearly about yourself!"

"Humph!"

Yuan Tan was a bit stubborn, and looked at Jia Xu with disdain.

"Ha ha!"

Jia Xu smiled, he didn't care, if a person like Yuan Tan had the backbone, he would have killed himself when the army was defeated, and if he is still alive now, where would his backbone be?

He doesn't need to convince Yuan Tan, he only needs to convince one person.

Yan Xing and Jia Xu walked out.

They went to the front yard.

"Here?" Jia Xu looked at the small courtyard.

"Ok!"

Yan Xing nodded.

"You go to order troops and enter Wei County immediately. The current situation is difficult and the soldiers are very fast. It is urgent to enter Yecheng. As the saying goes, the time is not to be missed. This is your chance. If you want to impress the king of Wei, just You can't let others take the credit, Wei Wang will definitely send the main force north soon, and you won't get anything by then!"

Jia Xu said to Yan Xing.

"Okay, I'll deploy troops immediately!" Yan Xing's eyes lit up, he nodded and said, he quickly ordered troops, ready to rush into Yecheng.

Jia Xu walked into the courtyard.

In the courtyard, a middle-aged man was lying on a chair, his abdominal wound was still wrapped in cloth, and his face was very pale.

This person is one of Yuan Shao's advisers.

Every season.

Feng Ji also noticed Jia Xu at this time, he squinted his eyes slightly, this person was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was.

"Are you here to kill me?" Feng Ji asked.

"Here to save you!"

Jia Xu said.

"Who is coming?"

"Your Majesty the King of Wei, General of the Night Tower, Jia Xu!"

"It turned out to be you, Jia Wenhe!" Feng Ji is still very familiar with this name. Jia Xu's name became famous before many of today's counselors. Back in Dong Zhuo's era, the ruthless Li Ru poisonous Jia Xu, It is already famous in the world.

"Yuan Tan is in my hands!"

Jia Xu said.

"Can he still live?" Feng Ji was a little haggard.

"As long as you want, he can!" Jia Xu said.

"What do you want me to do?"

Fengji is straightforward.

"Ju Yi has kidnapped Yuan Shang, I need Yuan Tan, you go and persuade Yuan Tan, as long as he is willing to cooperate with King Wei, King Wei can go to the court and let him inherit the title of King Zhou!"

Jia Xu said very directly.

"Still be a puppet!"

Feng Ji knew very well that now Cao Cao needed a puppet, so Yuan Tan was valuable.

"It's better than death!" Jia Xu said.

"Correct!"

The corner of Feng Ji's mouth rose slightly, and he smiled: "It's better to live than to die!"
