Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 427
The ground is full of shade, and the clear shadows shake the wind.

The horse's hooves hit the ground unhurriedly, and the young man in brocade clothes leisurely looked around at the weeds and flowers on the mountain road, and suddenly frowned slightly.

Murderous.

It wasn't that someone on the hill wanted to harm him, but that he suddenly had the urge to kill someone.

At this time, between two trees on the hill, a person was lying leisurely on a hammock.Although he rolled out of the hammock to salute him immediately after seeing him, Liu Xie still ignored Jia Xu bluntly. After dismounting himself, he lay on the hammock, and then squinted his eyes and reprimanded: "I will be in my heart." The general of Yuntai is entrusted to you, not only have you not flattened the Runan County like the autumn leaves, but you are not worried about the hundreds of thousands of people in Xuzhou, so you are so comfortable here?"

In my memory, the Jia Xu in history should have been a gloomy character like a ghost fox, or at least that kind of wily guy.But now Liu Xie found that Jia Xu under him was developing in a shameless and shameless direction.After hearing his reproaches, he didn't even bother to put on a look of panic, he just raised his wrinkled old face and said, "Your Majesty, it's not that I don't do my best, it's just that I'm old and suffering from many diseases." , I really feel powerless... I feel powerless."

Liu Xie knew Jia Xu's hobby of pretending to be sick, and every night he boiled some bad-smelling medicinal soup to scare people off.Hearing that he brought this matter up again today, he couldn't help but waved his hands and said: "I'm not a king who doesn't care about his subjects. Knowing that the general is ill, I specially brought all the imperial doctors from Luoyang here. Come on, Zhang Yizheng, give General Jia the pulse."

Originally Liu Xie thought he called out Zhang Ji, so Jia Xu should know some shame.Unexpectedly, the old man's expression really regarded his sarcasm as the concern of the old official from the Han Dynasty, and before Zhang Ji could speak, he rolled up his sleeves to let Zhang Ji feel his pulse.

Zhang Ji naturally saw that this was a joke between the monarch and his ministers, and stepped forward to take Jia Xu's pulse with a smile on his face.But after a while, his face became serious, and his brows were faintly wrinkled.Seeing this, Liu Xie couldn't help becoming nervous, turned over and sat upright on the hammock, and asked, "Doctor, is it true that General Jia is suffering from an old disease?"

It's no wonder that Liu Xie is supercilious and doesn't believe in the old birthday star in Jia Xu's history.After all, he came here through time travel, and many people and things have undergone earth-shaking changes.For example, the Taiwei Ma Rizun, who was supposed to pass away this year, is now yelling and explaining his behind-the-scenes all day long, but watching the Han royal family revive day by day, his voice is louder than anyone else, and he eats every day. You must also drink two bowls of polenta.Seeing his vigor, Liu Xie felt that there would be no problem in living another ten years.

Some people live long and others die short, not to mention that after Jia Xu followed him, he really didn't live as comfortably as in history.After all, Jia Xu was an outstanding adviser in the history of the Three Kingdoms. Once he really fell halfway, it would be a broken arm for Liu Xie.He really couldn't bear this loss.

Fortunately, after hearing this, Zhang Ji also felt that the heat was about the same. He closed his hands and shook his head and replied to Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, General Jia has been weak and sick since he was a child. It's only seven or eighty years of dying."

Hearing the first sentence, Liu Xie was still worried, but when he heard the last sentence, he immediately understood that he had been tricked by Zhang Ji.He cast an annoyed glance at Zhang Ji, then glared at Jia Xu who seemed to be still disappointed, waved his hand and said solemnly: "Okay, the joke is over, let's talk about the current situation in Yanzhou."

For Liu Xie's eastward expedition this time, Xun You was naturally the first to be dispatched to open up the way to Yanzhou.Afterwards, he abducted Zhang Ji's team in Nanyang and came slowly. Although he also got a lot of information along the way, after all, Jia Xu's place is close to the water first.More importantly, what he wanted to ask was not this, but to ask Jia Xu when is the best time to send troops.

Jia Xu was obviously more prepared this time than last time, so he clapped his hands and ordered Liu Pi and Zhou Cang to bring over the sand table situation map he made crudely.The top was densely packed with soldiers and horses representing the two armies of Lu Bu and Cao Cao. Jia Xu looked around, not talking about the current situation, but analyzing the place of Yanzhou.

"Your Majesty, you can see that Yanzhou is shaped like a wide belt, obliquely tied in the middle of Jizhou and Yuzhou. There are a total of eight counties in the whole prefecture. Not only is the land fertile and the products are rich, but it is also the hub of the Han Dynasty. Viewed from west to east, Chenliu County in the southwestern part of Yanzhou has a radius of more than [-] li. The two cities of Suanzao and Fengqiu in the territory are opposite to Yuanwu and Yangwu in the border of Yindi in Henan Province in the west; It is close to the two cities of Yanling in Yingchuan County of Yuzhou and Fule in Chenjun, and Kaocheng in the southeast corner guards the main road from Liang State to the capital in Yuzhou, and it can be called an important place for military strategists."

After saying so much in one breath, as soon as the old man stretched out his hand, Liu Pi immediately handed over a clear spring boiled in a wooden tube.After Jia Xu moistened his throat, he continued: "Dongjun, Dongping, and Jibei in the north face Jizhou across the river (the Yellow River); Jiyin, Shanyang, and Rencheng in the south of Yanzhou are far away from Jizhou. The states of Liang, Pei, and Lu in Yuzhou intertwined each other. To the east, Taishan County has magnificent mountains and dangerous terrain, especially Kangfu’s, which is the only way to Xuzhou in the east.”

Speaking of Father Kang, Liu Xie knew that Jia Xu had already hit the point: "You also think that after Lv Bu won Yanzhou, he should stick to Dongping, Duan Kangfu, and Taishan to attack Cao Cao instead of stationing in Puyang. Impossible to do?!"

The biggest advantage of being a time traveler is that he can carry out reverse deduction based on the existing ending of history.Lv Bu's move, in the analysis of later generations, all think that he lost the best chance to defeat Cao Cao in one fell swoop.As far as the matter is concerned, Liu Xie also feels that Lu Bu, Chen Bingkang and his father will firmly block Cao Cao's army from the gate of Yanzhou. , there is no chance of a comeback.

Unexpectedly, when Jia Xu heard this, he couldn't help laughing twice, and reminded Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, General Lu's invasion of Yanzhou is not stable. If the army moves lightly and fights Cao Cao to the death, wouldn't it be really brave and foolhardy? People? Zhang Miao and Chen Gong just hate Cao Cao's injustice, how could they, native-born Yanzhou scholars, sincerely give Yanzhou as a gift?"

As soon as these words came out, Li Yan couldn't help being puzzled: "But General Lu is following an order to hunt down thieves. Zhang Miao and Chen Gong are Han officials, how dare they not do their best to assist them?"

Looking at Li Yan, Jia Xu couldn't help showing a look of "you are still too naive", and said leisurely: "The little general lives in Nanyang, which is adjacent to Guanzhong. It is natural for him to yearn for imperial power. After passing Nanyang, The Kanto region has been in dispute for many years, even though the common people admire the emperor's prestige, they have long since dared not seek extravagance, and only want to save themselves by force. Otherwise, why would the emperor not hesitate to send General Xun, a pillar-like figure in the court, to enter Yingchuan?"

Liu Xie and his subordinates all knew about Xun You's stay in Yingchuan.Even though Xun You was a member of Yingchuan's prominent family, he had to go through a series of life and death disasters before finally opening up the situation in Yingchuan.Corresponding to this, we can see that although the edicts of the Han Dynasty have great moral motivation, they are still too unsatisfactory in actual implementation.

"It's my incompetence that made the people of the four quarters thirst for the Han Dynasty and dare not believe it." Liu Xie blamed himself, then uncovered this article, and turned to the main topic: "Since Lu Fengxian couldn't raise his troops to guard Father Kang, Then I will ride lightly into Yanzhou, I should have the best of both worlds, right?"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty... If you don't want Xuzhou to fall into the hands of thieves, you can do it like this. It's just that Xuzhou will escape the claws of the devil and fall into the tiger's mouth again... cough cough." This is not what Jia Xu said, Liu Xie Looking back, at some time, Zhou Cang and Liu Pi carried a sick scholar to the front of the sand table simulation table.

As soon as Zhang Ji saw this person, without waiting for Liu Xie's order, he immediately stepped forward to check and ask.It's just that the scribe seemed to be very worried, and he didn't answer Zhang Ji's question at all. Instead, he struggled to get up, but he was deeply ill. He could only salute Liu Xie on the stretcher, and said impatiently: "Your Majesty, the locust plague is raging in Yanzhou. Even though Cao and Lu are fighting each other, they will do nothing in a short period of time. However, Xuzhou is in danger. Does Your Majesty want to turn a blind eye?"

Of course Liu Xie knew that this person was Cao Cao's most talented strategist in the early days. This talent was not inferior to Xun Yu and Guo Jia.However, judging from the fact that he helped Cao Cao become the lord of Yanzhou, we know that this person is capable.After all, everyone knows that it is easy to go from ten to a hundred, but it is very difficult to start from scratch.

"Mr. Xi is referring to Liu Bei?" Liu Xie curled his lips, feeling that Xi Zhicai's plan to kill people with a knife was very clumsy: "Uncle Liu Huang is a clan member of the Han family, benevolent and generous, he is not afraid of life and death to help Xuzhou, he is a man of the dynasty. Although I am young, I will not be provoked by Mr. Zhang, it is better for Mr. Zhang to take care of me at ease."

"It's not Liu Bei, it's Yangzhou Yuan Shu!" Xi Zhicai seemed to be very emotional, coughing endlessly, and shouted these words almost with all his strength.

And these words fell into Liu Xie's ears, and he couldn't help shaking his body: the history of Gou Ri!The bad situation does not change, but the worse situation is not too bad!
