I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 283 Jia Xu's Strategy and Retreat

Niu Fu is arguing with Jia Xu at the moment.

Rather than saying it was a quarrel, it might be better to say that Jia Xu was holding him accountable.

"General, didn't you say that you need to observe, observe? It has only been a few days since I came back to Sili to supervise the grain and grass, and you have started to attack Liu Jian? Let alone the loss of troops, the relationship with Liu Jian is even more serious now." Unable to ease, what should we do if we turn around and blame Xiangguo?"

Niu Fu said impatiently: "What's the matter? Anyway, sooner or later they will fight! Xiangguo clearly ordered me to take Liu Jian's head. Could this general violate Xiangguo's order?"

Jia Xu just stared at Niu Fu indifferently, and there was an unavoidable wisdom in his eyes.

"You, what are you looking at?"

Niu Fu was a little guilty of being stared at by Jia Xu.

Jia Xu sighed and said, "General, does Xiangguo really want Liu Jian's head?"

"Damn, of course!" Niu Fu was still stubborn.

Jia Xu looked at Niu Fu with more amusement in his eyes.

"General, although Xu's status in the army is not high, he is still a captain. He still has the status to write 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 it from Xiangguo?"

The muscles on Niu Fu's face twitched.

Jia Xu is usually very obedient.

How come at this moment, why do you want to fight against yourself instead?
That's not his character!
Niu Fu doesn't know Jia Xu well. Jia Xu is usually very obedient, that's because Niu Fu can provide Jia Xu with the protection he deserves.

At the same time, Jia Xu has many things that need Niu Fu to come forward, and he 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 very little on weekdays, treats people with humility, and doesn't argue about anything. 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 give in, some power, profit and so on, Jia Xu has never fought or grabbed, and he usually swallows it in his stomach when he suffers a loss, and does not argue with others.

But this doesn't mean that his temper is really good, after all, Jia Xu is also from Liangzhou.

Even if he is a gentry, he grew up in the frontier 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 in anything, but once you touch his bottom line, then he will stop doing it.

The bottom line is not to let him lose his sense of security!

He does not allow anyone to place the crisis too close to him.

As long as you can do this, everything between you and Jia Xu can be negotiated.

Niu Fu has crossed the line this time.

And he's pretty out of line.

When he heard that Jia Xu was going to write a letter to Dong Zhuo to inquire, Niu Fu became a little flustered.

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 battle between the two armies, life and death are at stake, how can there be a small matter?"

"Heh, heh heh, heh heh..."

Hearing what Jia Xu said, Niu Fu just laughed dryly.

This point of Niu Fu really made Jia Xu helpless. When he was strong, he was very strong, but once he was wronged, he would not be tough with you, but he would not admit his mistakes, anyway, he would just hang out with you in a muddy manner.

"Wenhe, what is the relationship between you and me? Why is this so? Hahaha, my father-in-law is not easy. You said he fought with the Yuan family and the dogs of the Yuan family in the Central Plains. If you still bother him with our trivial matters, wouldn't it be easy?" It’s not that you and I are too incompetent!”

"Liu Jian is different from other princes. This man's ability to use troops is not inferior to that of the prime minister! Why did the general go against the will of the prime minister and forcibly confront Liu Jian?" Jia Xu asked very puzzled.

Niu Fu turned around twice in the handsome tent, suddenly an indescribable evil appeared on his face.

"Wenhe, you don't know! I led troops to chase Liu Jian back then, but Zhang Fei threw me off the horse in front of the soldiers of the two armies, making me lose face! Among the generals, I still don't I was reduced to a laughing stock because of this matter! How many people say that I am the son-in-law of Xiangguo, and I just sat in the position I am today!"

Jia Xu couldn't understand the pain in Niu Fu's heart, on the contrary, he still looked at Niu Fu as if he were looking at a monster.

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

This position is not allowed for my own son-in-law, so should I give it to someone else's son-in-law?
These days, which family is not nepotism?Discuss things with blood?
Niu Fu saw the puzzled expression on Jia Xu's face, and said, "I'm not saying that it's wrong to be the son-in-law of Xiangguo as Zhonglang. General Lang, but he doesn't recognize my ability!"

Jia Xu raised her eyebrows.

What people say...is nothing wrong with it, you really don't have much ability, isn't that obvious?

Looking at Niu Fu's displeased expression, Jia Xu secretly sighed.

This person, the most taboo thing is that he has no self-knowledge.

Just like Niu Fu.

If you want to say that he has no ability at all, it would be wronging him.

But the problem is that his ability cannot bear his ambition.

He does have some abilities, but his eyes are higher than the top, and he feels that he is invincible in the world, and he regards what is bestowed on him because of his birth and family as he has won by his own ability.

Such a person is the most hopeless!
Not as good as those real mediocre people!
At least, most of the truly mediocre people still know that they are useless!
Jia Xu took a deep breath and said, "The general insulted you because Zhang Fei was in front of the two armies, because you are angry?"

"Exactly, if you don't avenge this revenge, you will be in vain!"

Jia Xu said: "General, have you ever thought about it, why Zhang Fei can insult you in front of the two armies?"

When Niu Fu heard this, he didn't respond.

"Because he is indeed capable and courageous! If he has no real ability, how can he move the general at all? General, in fact, you should feel lucky. The last time the general confronted Zhang Fei, the other party had no intention of killing, so the general You can come back alive, if he intends to kill you, then you, general..."

"enough!"

Niu Fu interrupted Jia Xu's words: "This general will never be weaker than Zhang Fei! In this battle, I will swear to kill Zhang Fei, and I will hate you with blood!"

"Wenhe, you must help me with this matter!"

"Don't worry, in the future, Xiangguo will inquire about the crime and send troops without authorization. I will bear all the responsibility, and you will have no worries! Just help me design and deal with Liu Jian!"

Jia Xu sighed secretly.

This is not a question of guilt or not at all, but what should I do if something goes wrong and I am trapped in front of the battle?
Knowing that the enemy is strong, but still forcefully confronting the enemy, who can guarantee that my life will not be damaged?

When Jia Xu heard this, he sighed deeply.

This Niu Fu is really hopeless!
I've talked about this for the sake of it, but you are still so stubborn!

When it comes to military strategy, Jia Xu is not the director, but he is good at reading people.

Regardless of who is stronger or weaker in the two armies, if Niu Fu has such a heart, his chances of defeating Liu Jian are very slim.

In just an instant, Jia Xu made up his mind.

Niu Fu wants to disobey Dong Zhuo's military order and fight against Liu Jian, so let him fight. He is Dong Zhuo's close relative. If something happens, Dong Zhuo will not do anything to his son-in-law, but he is an outsider, don't He forgot his identity and followed Niu Fu to blend in.

Whether he wins or loses this battle, it is of no benefit to 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 would go back and offend his colleagues because of official business, especially if this person is his immediate superior.

Afterwards, Jia Xu stood up suddenly, put his arms around his forehead, leaned forward sharply, and gave Niu Fu a big gift.

Niu Fu was greatly surprised by Jia Xu's actions.

He hastily stretched out his hand to support Jia Xu, and said, "Why is Wen He like this?"

"General, this subordinate is not fully sure at this time, help the general to defeat the enemy, please kill me!"

When Niu Fu heard this, he was startled.

"Why did Wenhe say that?"

Jia Xu said helplessly: "As an official, I can't make a perfect plan. Helping the general defeat the enemy is no different from death. Instead of holding the prime minister and the general accountable in the future, I might as well plead guilty this time, so as to leave a good reputation. It's better than being jealous and scolding for the general in the future."

It wasn't that Niu Fu and Jia Xu had known each other for a day or two. Hearing what Jia Xu said, he suddenly understood.

He probably understood what Jia Xu meant.

He still knows Jia Xu's character to some extent.

He wanted to obey Dong Zhuo's order 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 her heart.

However, Jia Xu is not such an irresponsible person.

He is willing to give Niu Fu advice and advice against Liu Jian, but he doesn't want to put the responsibility for victory or defeat on himself.

In short, the fundamental meaning of Jia Xu’s move is: I will give you the strategy of fighting, but I don’t guarantee that you can win. I don’t want credit for winning or losing, and I don’t take responsibility.If it’s okay, let’s play, if it’s not, you have nothing else to do if you kill me.

Jia Xu has drawn a path for Niu Fu, so how will Niu Fu choose?

Obviously, the path Jia Xu drew for him was very much in line with Niu Fu's current needs.

He immediately agreed: "Wenhe has a sincere heart. I already know that the soldiers are the great affairs of the country! The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, how can Wenhe be under the control of one person? You just tell us your strategy, I Take it at your own discretion, whether you win or lose, it has nothing to do with you!"

"Also, if I come to Yanjin, to the southwest is Suanzao County, where the remnants of Qiaomao and Bao Xin are currently stationed. Although their current strength does not pose a threat to me, just in case, It's still Lao Wenhe who leads his troops to retreat a hundred miles to the west!"

"One, you can help me take care of the food road in the rear, and the other is that you can get closer and monitor the movements of the thieves in Suanzao County."

After hearing this, Jia Xu immediately thanked Niu Fu.

In fact, the coalition forces of Qiao Mao and Bao Xin almost made Lu Bu, Zhang Liao and others fight shit last time, how dare they send troops so easily now?

They hid in Suanzao City, wishing they could rebuild the city wall to more than double the original size to be at ease.

Niu Fu was giving Jia Xu a reason to leave his central army and go to the rear.

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

In fact, Niu Fu really looked down on Jia Xu's character.

If you don't do meritorious service, you hide when you have something to do. You are as timid as a chicken, how dare you claim to be from Liangzhou when you go out?
But such a person is quite good, at least he won't take credit from himself.

Seeing that Niu Fu agreed to send him to the rear, Jia Xu felt relieved.

He said to Niu Fu: "General, although our army is invincible in field battles, Liu Jian knows himself and the enemy. He stationed his troops in Yanjin and guarded the ferry. He can attack and retreat as well as defend. If our army is too involved by the Kwantung coalition forces, he can take advantage of the gap to attack each other." , is really a coup."

"I heard that in Liu Jian's army, there are many strong bows and crossbows, and the infantry is quite elite. If the general storms Yanjin, he will suffer a lot of casualties, and he may not be able to win. If he wants to defeat Liu Jian, there is only one way. !"

"any solution?"

Jia Xu said, "Cut off his food."

When Niu Fu heard this, he was immediately refreshed.

But he soon withered again.

"Henan and Hebei have a vast territory, and there are many counties and towns, and there are villages everywhere. There are no less than a dozen grain roads that Liu Jian transported from Hebei. How to break them?"

Jia Xu said: "If Liu Jian joins forces with Yuan Shao, there may be many choices in his way of food, which cannot be broken."

"But now, he is not on the same path with the princes of the Guandong, and there is even a gap between him and Yuan Shao."

"From Hebei to Henan, he can't delay the route too much. If he passes through too many counties, Liu Jian may be negligent. After all, most of the land in Yanzhou is controlled by Yuan Shao's vassals. If Liu Jian's food supply is cut off, Liu Jian's [-] soldiers and horses will be left alone, and will be destroyed overnight!"

When Niu Fu heard this, he suddenly realized.

"Wenhe Gaolun!"

Jia Xu said: "So, Liu Jian's current food situation is still easy to infer."

After finishing speaking, Jia Xu walked to the map in the tent, pointed to Yanjin County on it, and said, "There are many counties in the Central Plains. Why did Liu Jian station troops in Yanjin County? It is because there are Yanjin County here. Jin Ferry, and backed by the Yellow River, can directly seal Yanjin Ferry so that it will not be disturbed by outsiders."

Niu Fu is not a dull person, when he heard this, he already understood it roughly.

"He crossed from Liyang to Yanjin...directly transporting food by water?"

Jia Xu said: "On the other side of Baima County, the nearest ferry is Liyang Ferry. The two places are only separated by a river, almost close at hand, and not within the territory of all the herdsmen. If the general wants to defeat Liu Jian, he must do so. One trick."

"But, again, this strategy may not be successful. The chance of winning or losing is half and half. After all, Liu Jian is a man who is good at using troops. Before doing this, the general must carefully inquire about information and make a lot of planning."

Niu Fu nodded suddenly: "Half the chance of winning, but it's enough! Please Wenhe teach me how to march and how to use tactics!"
