The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 404 Jia Xu's New Plan ([-])

Jia Xu couldn't help feeling a little worried about Cao Pi's health.

Since Cao Pi took over Cao Cao's position, he has recruited many beauties to fill his backyard.But he suffers from insomnia at night, coupled with excessive indulgence, even if his body is not destroyed, his spirit will certainly not recover.

Because of this matter, Jia Xu has persuaded Cao Pi many times on the sidelines.But Cao Pi didn't take it seriously at all, and he was still indulgent every day.

But the current situation is too bad, it is impossible to delay any longer, and a countermeasure must be come up with immediately.

Jia Xu said resolutely: "No. The military situation is really urgent now, and the old man must see the lord immediately!"

Jia Xu's sparkling eyes stared closely at Shi Jing's.Shi Jing was a little flustered by him, feeling that Jia Xu's gaze was really frightening.He had no choice but to say: "Then, my lord, go to the listening hall and wait a while, then go and inform the lord."

Jia Xu nodded.Shi Jing called a guard standing guard in the aisle next to him, and asked him to help Jia Xu to the hall.But in fact, Jia Xu is still in good health now, and his hands and feet have always been very agile, so I let Shi Jing not have to do this, and he can walk over by himself.

Shi Jing didn't try to persuade her anymore, Jia Xu's physical condition was probably better than Cao Pi's.Just now I supported him, one was out of respect for the elder; the other was because I was afraid that it would be bad if the old man accidentally fell down at night.

After Shi Jing bowed to Jia Xu, she turned and walked towards the aisle next to her.Jia Xu walked in the opposite direction and walked towards the lobby.The jumping lights of the lights on both sides of the corridor pulled his not-so-tall figure into a slender, long, and shaky black shadow on the ground.

Jia Xu sat alone in the lobby for nearly four quarters of an hour, feeling the colder the more she sat.In fact, there was always a fire in the lobby, but because the space inside was too large and the weather outside was too cold, the brazier was useless at all.

Jia Xu couldn't help feeling a little anxious. Before, Cao Pi would never let him wait for such a long time.

Another quarter of an hour later, Cao Pi finally arrived late.It's just that his eyes are full of bloodshot eyes now. Although he is wearing loose robes, Jia Xu can still see that his feet are sloppy when he walks, and his body is really very tired. It doesn't look like a man in his prime should have. look.

Jia Xu got up inside and saluted Cao Pi.After Cao Pi sat down in the middle hall, he also asked Jia Xu to sit back in his original seat, and asked with a little displeasure, "Master Jia, do you have something important to do when you come to see Gu's family late at night?"

Jia Xu cupped his hands, persuading him, "My lord, for my generation, we should take the life of the people and the people of the country as our duty. If we are not pure in heart and desires, we can't use the true spirit as a big economy. If you work hard every day, waiting for leaks at five o'clock, the chickens will die." Ming is still slowly approaching the court. The case is like a mountain, and the sun is high and he has not been involved in official business. All the matters of governing the country and the people are all flirtatious. If this tired face, how can there be a strong and shrewd rule? Hope my lord Be cautious."

Seeing that Jia Xu came to take care of his private life again, Cao Pi was annoyed at being interrupted when he was flirting with Mrs. Zhu before, and now he is even more upset.But it's not easy for him to say anything to a veteran like Jia Xu, let alone express his dissatisfaction too much.

Cao Pi just coughed lightly and said, "Lord Jia, Gu is really tired now, what do you have to report?"

Jia Xu knew that he couldn't persuade Cao Pi now, since he was going to take a group of beauties on the road, he knew that he couldn't do without women all the time.

Jia Xu secretly sighed, let's talk about the important things first.He submitted the battle report to Cao Pi.

Cao Pi took the battle report and looked at it near the lights.Cao Pi's reading speed is said to be ten lines at a glance, which is extremely fast, and he quickly read the entire battle report.

Cao Pi has always been a person with a deep city and never easily reveals too much inner emotion.But the content of this battle report is really exciting.I went south with such great fanfare to conquer personally. Although it was obvious that the Jingzhou army was driven across Xiangshui, they actually retreated by themselves.What's even worse is that on the way to retreat, they shot and killed tens of thousands of their former army, killing everyone on their backs. As a result, even the main general Zhang Liao can't be found now, and his life and death are unknown!
Could it be that these two 10,000+ people are here to continue defeating Guan Yu and achieve his new reputation?This is definitely not the result he was after!
With a bang, Cao Pi angrily threw the battle report on the ground under the hall.Cao Pi's anger finally broke out.

Jia Xu stood up from his seat, went out and picked up the battle report from the ground, and said, "My lord, don't be too angry. Although the Jingzhou army is hateful, our army was indeed defeated in some parts, but from the overall situation, we still use The grand strategy defeated the Jingzhou army, and forced them to automatically retreat to the front line of Xiangyang. Now they can only rely on the suspicion of Xiangshui to defend Xiangyang City."

Cao Pi couldn't help shouting: "But this is not the result that the lonely family wants, nor is it the strategy you planned to achieve the result!"

Although Jia Xu was a little apprehensive, the expression on his face did not change at all.He bowed his hands to Cao Pi and said firmly: "My lord, although our army is no longer able to encircle and wipe out the Jingzhou army in Nanyang County, but we can drive them out, and the result is almost the same. Moreover, they can retreat the whole army. For us, it's not entirely a bad thing."

Cao Pi was refreshed and asked, "Why?"

Jia Xu was originally a very cunning old fox, since he dared to come to see Cao Pi overnight, of course he had already thought of an alternative plan in his heart.Otherwise, he, the strategist who formulates the strategy, will face a lot of crimes next.

Jia Xu said: "My lord should already know that Lu Meng, the governor of Eastern Wu, has led his army to surround Jiangling City. Jiangling City is the heart of Nanjun and the foothold of the Jingzhou army. Once it is captured by the Wu army, the consequences will be disastrous. Therefore, the Jingzhou army will definitely go all out to rescue Jiangling City."

Cao Pi moved in his heart and said, "So, do you want our army to cross the river and seize Xiangyang City when it is empty?"

Jia Xu's eyes flashed, and he denied: "No. Our army only needs to suppress the whole army to the shore of Xiangshui, let alone cross the river to attack Xiangyang City."

Cao Pi wondered: "Why is this? Don't we take Xiangyang and Nanjun?"

Jia Xu laughed and said, "My lord, although Soochow has surrendered to us now, it's just an expedient measure for them, and they will definitely go back on their word in the future. Therefore, we might as well just sit here in Nanyang and watch the tigers." Let Soochow fight with the Jingzhou army first. The result is that no matter which one of them wins, the strength of both sides will be weakened. At that time, it will not be too late for our army to attack them again."

Cao Pi nodded, thinking that Jia Xu's new strategy seemed to be a good one.But he is not a stupid person, and he vaguely guessed that Jia Xu's contribution to this plan seems to be absolved of responsibility for himself.

That night, after Jia Xu left, Cao Pi immediately wrote a letter to Sima Yi who was far away in Xuchang, and sent someone to send it as quickly as possible.In the letter, Cao Pi asked Sima Yi whether Ji Jiaxu's new strategy was feasible.
