Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 431 No Gambling
When Xi Zhicai opened his eyes again, he didn't see Huangquan Jiuyou, which the Japanese had been worrying about arriving these days, and he didn't see the eerie ghost.However, when he saw Jia Xu's smiling face in front of him, he suddenly had a kind of understanding: maybe, the underworld should have such a face, right?

After falling into the hands of the Han Dynasty, Xi Zhicai has been a little depressed.Not only because Liu Xie gave him a favor last time, but this silent old fox actually used his wits before Liu Xie.

Did Jia Xu see the plan he made to deliberately let Cao Cao die?Now it seems that this old guy must have seen it long ago.Moreover, he deliberately kept pretending to be indifferent, so that he was almost defenseless, and he became Jia Xu's spearman.

As a Hanchen, even though Jia Xu agrees with this strategy, he is not suitable to be the revealer of this bad news.In other words, Jia Xu didn't want to cause these troubles for himself at all, so instead of using his own mouth, he didn't have to face the emperor directly, but instead told the emperor everything he said.

how to say.Xi Zhicai felt that if he hadn't been suffering from a serious illness and lack of energy, he would never have fallen for such a trick.However, such things are harmless, what is more relevant to Xi Zhi is, what adjustments did the emperor make to his strategy?
"Mr. Xi has worked too hard. Doctor Zhang said that you need rest for this illness." Jia Xu said these words very thoughtfully, and in order to show his sincerity, he personally tucked the quilt for Xi Zhicai .

But Xi Zhicai's pale and sallow face turned red in an instant. This was not because she was moved by embarrassment, but because she was angry: "Good job, Jia Xu. When the emperor didn't come, you were worried about the country and the people all day. The demeanor of famous people in the state, and talk about the situation of the family and the country, the world of the Han Dynasty.Holding someone's hand and calling myself a 'little talent', making people think that they found a confidant before they died, and said everything in their hearts.Now that you have finished using yourself, you actually call someone 'Mr. Xi' as soon as you mention your pants.You can't be so unkind as a human being!
However, Xi Zhicai is also an old driver in troubled times. As a prisoner, he must have the consciousness of a prisoner.After all, I am still a counselor under Cao Cao at this moment. How can an old fox like Jia Xu, who is so scheming and has no plans, easily tell himself the adjustment strategy made by the emperor?

As a result, after Xi Zhicai blushed, he quickly regained his composure. Looking at Jia Xu's smiling old face, which he really wanted to punch, he said weakly: "Can Mr. Jia Tell me, where is the Han army now?"

"Chen Guo." This time Jia Xu didn't even think about it, and answered very simply.

Xi Zhicai didn't realize that he had been in a deep sleep for three days, and the first thing he realized was that he understood that the emperor hadn't changed the first half of his strategy.However, at this time, he was even more angry with Jia Xu's stinky virtue of cherishing words like gold: How is Chen Guo doing now?Has the Han army started a fight with Sun Ben?If you talk too much, Jia Xu, you will die!

Seeing Xi Zhicai's burning eyes, Jia Xu couldn't help but put down the steaming meat soup that night: "It seems that if the old man doesn't talk more about Chen Guo's affairs with Mr. Xi, Mr. I'm afraid I can't swallow this bowl of soup." After saying this, Jia Xu's face seemed a little sad, and he said four words lightly: "Chen Wang is dead."

"Chen Wang died?" Xi Zhicai was taken aback immediately: "Are we late?"

"Yes, we are late." When Jia Xu repeated this sentence, his mood was very complicated.On the one hand, he regretted and mourned the death of King Chen.On the other hand, Xi Zhicai said the word "we" without thinking, which shows that he cares about Chen Guo's safety from the bottom of his heart, and at the same time, he does not have much rejection of the Han Dynasty.

"Killed by Sun Ben?" Xi Zhicai didn't even notice his title at the moment, and still asked anxiously.

"No," Jia Xu shook his head first, and then added: "But he died because of Sun Ben. Chen County was heavily besieged by Sun Ben, and King Chen had only less than two thousand townspeople who fought hard to break through once. However, he was blocked by Sun Ben. He negotiated with Sun Ben in order to protect the people of Chen County, but he was imprisoned by Sun Ben, and he heard that the emperor came to help him. , committed suicide."

Only then did Xi Zhi hear that the death of King Chen had nothing to do with Sun Ben.The two armies were fighting, and it was not uncommon for the king of Chen not to have counselors like Luo Jun to help him.On the contrary, it was the news of the arrival of the emperor's reinforcements, which became the reason why Chen Wang's staunch character wanted to die.

But is it Liu Xie's fault?
It didn't seem to be to blame, so Jia Xu set the tone with one word: blame Sun Ben.

King Chen is dead, and the deceased is the greatest, so naturally he can't say anything more.The Son of Heaven is the Son of Heaven, and there is nothing wrong with it.Therefore, this blame can only be carried by Sun Ben.

After thinking about this, Xi Zhicai doesn't want to get too involved in this aspect, after all, there are too many unspeakable partings in life and death in troubled times.He is more concerned about the war between the two armies.

"Sun Ben forced Queen Chen to death, and in the name of sending King Chen to burial, deceived the gate of Chen County, and rushed to Chen County before the emperor." Jia Xu frowned slightly, and then raised his face expressionlessly. He said: "Right now, it is time for the two armies to confront each other."

As soon as Jia Xu finished speaking, Xi Zhicai really heard the sound of golden drums, which was the drums used when the two armies faced each other.Without thinking about it, he blurted out: "Speed ​​up and go to watch the battle..." As soon as the words came out, Xi Zhicai's face flashed a trace of embarrassment: I still didn't recognize the current situation, although the Han Dynasty was very serious about myself. Preferential treatment, but Jia Xu, who refused to reveal even a word about the strategy of the emperor, how could he take himself out to observe the strength of the Han army?
But what Xi Zhicai didn't expect was that this time, Jia Xu replied very simply: "Yes." Then, he picked up the mutton soup on the table again, and added a condition: "As long as the sir finishes drinking this Bowl of meat soup, Your Majesty has a word first, you can go wherever you want."

Xi Zhicai didn't look like a person suffering from a serious illness at all. He took the meat soup with both hands and poured it into his stomach.After drinking, he took the initiative to call two soldiers and carried him out of the tent.

As soon as he left the tent, Xi Zhicai suddenly understood that Sun Ben was going to lose.

There was no other reason, all he could see at the moment were Han soldiers in sackcloth.The white filial clothing stretched into one piece, like a mass of angry waves, about to drown Sun Ben's army.Especially in the front battle, Xi Zhicai also saw that the emperor did not use the canopy banner car, but replaced it with white plain banners, and there was a white pendant hanging on both sides of the big banner, and wrote "Sacrifice to the heroic spirit of the king of Chen, and kill the rebels." Thief' nine characters.

Regardless of whether Sun Ben felt guilty about Chen Wang's death, Liu Xie's preemptive momentum will undoubtedly cause the morale of the soldiers to drop a bit first.At the same time, the two strong appeals of righteousness and personal grievances, national hatred and family hatred will also mobilize the hatred of the people of Chen County towards Sun Ben's army.

However, Xi Zhicai finally let out a sigh of regret.Because he came so close, he saw that Sun Ben did not bring out a large number of soldiers, and he obviously understood that his own army should not fight hard against the Han army.After all, regardless of victory or defeat, his army poured out, as long as the people of Chen County closed the city gate to prevent him from entering the city, all the military supplies and supplies from the looting would become the Han army's.At that time, the army fled alone and was short of food. There was no other possibility except to be beaten like a bereaved dog by the Han army.

Sun Ben seemed to see the shortcomings of the Han army this time, and understood that the emperor of the Han family would not just recover Chen Guo and avenge Chen Wang Liu Chong.Because of this, this battle is a test for Liu Xie.

But the strange thing is that after finally seeing Liu Xie, Xi Zhicai found that this 14-year-old boy didn't seem to pay much attention to Sun Ben except for the regret of Chen Wang's death.He looked back and looked around, and when he saw Xi Zhicai, he still had the heart to say hello: "Mr. Xi is here?"

This clearly did not regard the battlefield as a battlefield, let alone Sun Ben!

Xi Zhicai really didn't want to say anything, but with an occupational disease, he couldn't help reminding Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, what you are fighting with Sun Ben is not the victory or defeat of the first battle, but the time when no one can beat it! "

Unexpectedly, when Liu Xie heard the words, he extended three fingers to Xi Zhicai: "Three days, if I take Chen County in three days, Mr. Xi will return to the Han Dynasty. How, is Xi Zhicai going to bet on this game? A gamble?"

Xi Zhicai carefully calculated the strength comparison between the Han army and Sun Ben, and under a strong attack, the Han army is really possible.However, the loss of soldiers and generals will obviously affect the strategy in the future.Unexpectedly, Liu Xie seemed to see what Xi Zhicai was thinking, and added another sentence: "If I lose more than 500 people, I will be considered a loser, okay?"

Xi Zhicai frowned again, looked at Liu Xie's young and sunny face, and suddenly nodded firmly, but just as Liu Xie's smile was about to bloom, he uttered two words: "No gambling!" .”
