Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 229 Old thing, speak quickly!

"Good! What a Xu Rong, he deserves to be the mainstay of the Han Dynasty!" Liu Xie, who received Xu Rong's reply, laughed loudly.

Now standing on both sides of Liu Xie are either famous generals who are used to fighting, or good planners who are familiar with military books. Regarding Xu Rongbing's entry into Xuanyuan Mountain, they all know what it means.

Snakes are seven inches long, and hitting them at this place can cause the most pain to the bone marrow.When Xu Rong cut off the grain road from Wancheng to Lv Bu's camp, it was equivalent to hitting a poisonous snake more than seven inches with a stick, which made both Lv Bu on the front line and Ji Ling in the rear feel extremely uncomfortable.

Looking at the entire sand table, when Liu Xie placed the wooden figurine representing Xu Rong on Mount Xuanyuan, he suddenly discovered that the entire sand table game came to life.Xu Rong's chess piece is like the dots in Go, where every word is placed, the whole game is alive.In this way, from Hulaoguan to Xuanyuan Mountain, it became the territory of the Han army at once, forming a strategic advantage.

Originally, Lv Bu was arrogant and unstoppable, but after Xu Rong cut off his supply, Lv Bu no longer had such confidence.In this era, no matter how charismatic you are or how powerful you are, you still can't afford to eat.

Being a soldier and eating food is something that every soldier recognizes as a matter of course-compared with Lu Bu's powerful Bingzhou wolf cavalry and those miscellaneous troops, the difference is at most...they should be able to starve for a few more days, right?

However, that's all.

Liu Xie firmly believed that when Lu Bu's Bingzhou wolves gnawed bark and ate grass roots, even if they would not rebel, they would not be able to beat the Han soldiers who outnumbered them and ate more than them.

As for Ji Ling, Xu Rong's action also drove him crazy.If he sent troops to break through the grain roads, he didn't know if it was worth it. After all, Lu Bujun was an outcast thrown by Yuan Shu, and it was his ultimate mission to protect Wancheng from falling.But if Xu Rong is allowed to stir up trouble in the Xuanyuan Mountain area without sending troops, who knows what kind of drama Xu Rong, a strange army, can direct?
The enemy's sore feet are naturally the joy of the self-army.Everyone understood this, and came forward to congratulate Liu Xie one after another, praising Liu Xie for using soldiers like a god.

Only Xun You kept frowning and watching the sand table, and finally couldn't help but said to Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, although General Xu's actions have played a role in controlling the world, but at the same time put himself in danger. Ruo Ji Ling Make a decisive decision and try your best to open up this grain road... I am afraid that General Xu will definitely not abandon Xuanyuan Mountain as a strategic place."

Hearing this, the excitement on Liu Xie's face disappeared completely, showing deep worry.Although he knew that he had made it very clear in the military order, Xun You was right. A soldier like Xu Rong who truly abides by his duties would never do something that would damage the dignity of a soldier like giving up halfway.

The only thing Liu Xie can look forward to is that Yang Xiu.I really hope that the guy who usually looks very smart doesn't really tell Xu Rong that the password at night is "chicken ribs" like in history...

However, even if Yang Xiu suddenly shines this time, cleverly laying out puzzles and tricks, he can only treat the symptoms without knowing the root cause.The only way to rescue Xu Rong out of danger as soon as possible is for the Han army to join forces at Xuanyuan Mountain as soon as possible.

As a result, Liu Xie suddenly turned around, and his face became resolute in an instant: "My dear friends, the situation is now very clear. Although General Xu has used one shot to revitalize the overall situation, how long his nail can be stuck in Xuanyuan Mountain will become a success." This is the key to the outcome of this battle. Since General Xu has not disappointed us, as the emperor of the Han Dynasty, I will not chill the hearts of my subordinates. Everyone has something to think about, please be sure to speak freely."

As soon as the words fell, everyone's faces were serious, and they fell into deep thought.Liu Xie looked around, and his sharp eyes like a falcon immediately noticed the abnormality of a person.

"Jiahu...Jia Aiqing, do you have a good plan?" Liu Xie looked at Jia Xu who was sneaking in the crowd, no matter how he looked at it, he thought Jia Xu's appearance was ridiculous.

"Old, the old minister dare not speak." Jia Xu raised his head and said this resentfully.

Liu Xie's face immediately darkened: This old man, why are you still playing with my 13-year-old kid?Didn't you just say something fierce to you in the hall a while ago, why are you so recalcitrant?
Although he complained like this in his heart, Liu Xie also knew that he had gone too far last time.Indeed, Jia Xu's strategy of "waiting for work with leisure" was a perfect strategy no matter how you look at it.In contrast, the act of letting Xu Rong from Wuguan rush into Xuanyuan Mountain seems a bit eager for quick success.

But Liu Xie had to do so.

Although Jia Xu is a top strategist in this era, he is not a time traveler after all.Perhaps, he could judge from various details that in the battle between Yuan Shu in Yanzhou and Cao Cao, Yuan Shu would be defeated.But he would never know that Yuan Shu's army and Cao Cao's defeat in this battle can only be described as a thousand miles.

Not to mention, Liu Xie artificially added some condiments to this event that was already destined by history.

If Liu Xie adopted Jia Xu's delaying tactics, the Han army would most likely miss the battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shu.Once Cao Cao is allowed to enjoy the honor of being so powerful in the world, the significance of the Han army's dispatch of troops outside the pass this time, not to mention the waste of all previous efforts, will at least be dimmed because of it.

Not to mention, if the Han Dynasty army did not participate in the ensuing Yanzhou War, then a series of unpredictable changes would cause Liu Xie to lose this historical prophetic advantage.After all, the current him is far from having the strength to hold the pulse of this era.

At present, he can only sneak into the cracks of the times like a ghost, seize all events that are beneficial to him, and make himself stronger as soon as possible.

"I forgive you for your innocence this time." Liu Xie sighed and assured Jia Xu in a low voice.As the emperor, he felt that such an answer implicitly expressed his apology for the last incident.

Unexpectedly, Jia Xu, an old man, really dared to show his face, and replied to Liu Xie like a bargain: "The old minister still dare not speak nonsense, so as not to disturb the big game that His Majesty has painstakingly planned."

Before Jia Xu's voice disappeared, Liu Xie's sharp eyes were fixed on Jia Xu again. Thousands of hectares of huge waves roared in the heart of the Han Emperor: Could it be that the old man Jia Xu has seen What are you going to do when you come out?

impossible.

This was Liu Xie's subconscious first reaction.However, when he saw Jia Xu's slightly lowered head but not concealing his confident attitude, Liu Xie doubted his own judgment.After all, this old man is a well-deserved wise man of this era, no one can know what is going on in his sloppy head.

But soon, Liu Xie saw something in Jia Xu's eyes.Although his eyes are still bright, flashing the insidiousness of Zhizhu in his hands.But at the same time, in his wide sleeve robe, the old guy's thumb, index finger and middle finger were pinched together, rubbing back and forth... This movement is clearly a shameless street gangster blackmailing others!
Liu Xie immediately ran away, but thinking that Jia Xu was never a targetless person, Liu Xie suppressed the evil fire in his heart, leaned back slightly, and said to Jia Xu: "Oh, in this way, General Jia feels my apology Isn’t that enough? I’m always easy to talk, why don’t you tell me what you really want, general?”

From ancient times to the present, there has never been a courtier who dared to have such a dialogue with the emperor, even though the glory of the Han Dynasty is no longer what it used to be.But everyone can see that with the emperor Liu Xie in power, the degeneration of the Han Dynasty will definitely not advance, but will only move towards the road of revival.

As a result, everyone looked at this ignorant general Xuanyi as if they were looking at a monster.

"How dare the old minister." Although Jia Xu said this sentence, the next sentence was not reserved at all: "The old minister just thinks that the geomantic omen in Luoyang is a bit bad, and it is deserted all day. Nanyang is a county, but the climate Appropriate, most suitable for His Majesty to be considerate of veterans and those who are in their dying years."

Hearing Jia Xu say that he is a dying person, Liu Xie almost laughed out loud.Everyone knows that this old guy is one of the few long-lived people in the Three Kingdoms. Although he only lived to be 74 years old in his life, he can be considered a renown at the end of Han Dynasty when life expectancy is generally not more than 50 years old.

After listening to Jia Xu's request, Liu Xie couldn't help being puzzled. Jia Xu's meaning was obvious. After this battle, he hoped to serve in Nanyang County.

Of course, Liu Xie would not naively think that Jia Xu just wanted to be a prefect in Nanyang by himself. He definitely wanted Duan Yan, Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu, and Xiliang cavalry to be stationed in Nanyang.

However, this request is not a serious proposal for either the Han Dynasty or Jia Xu.After all, this proposal is of no benefit to the Xiliang iron cavalry, nor is it harmful to the Han Dynasty.

If one had to find a sliver of benefit to Jia Xu, it would be that Jia Xu successfully escaped the ending of being incorporated by Liu Xie—obviously, after the victory of the Han Dynasty in this battle, the power would definitely not only be satisfied with the Guanzhong area, and regain Luo The matter of Yang will soon be put on the agenda.

Moreover, the most interesting point is that in history, Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu, the golden pair, were entrenched in Wancheng, Nanyang County.It's just that three years later, Zhang Ji attacked Rangcheng because of lack of food in Guanzhong, and died of the arrow.After Zhang Xiu took over the army, Liu Biao of Jingzhou couldn't afford to offend these hungry turtles, so he gave up Wancheng to Zhang Xiu and made an alliance with him.

Could it be that history was preordained in the dark?

Liu Xie shook his head, but after reacting immediately, his face was suddenly furious again, and he pointed at Jia Xu again like a sword and shouted: "Old man, are your skin itchy again? I'm asking you how to defeat the enemy, you Tell me what the hell are you trying to do?!"

"Your Majesty, look at you, didn't we agree not to be angry..." Jia Xu shrank her neck helplessly, and had no choice but to reveal another poisonous plan of her own.
