The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 181

Youzhou borders Jizhou, and Youzhou is above Jizhou, so Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao will definitely not live in harmony.

Gongsun Zan was very furious when he learned that his younger brother Gongsun Fan was killed by Dongfang Sheng, but he was delayed for a while because he competed with Liu Yu for Youzhou, but as soon as he finished Liu Yu, he immediately sent his sworn brother Le Hedang to lead the army. Bai Mayi came to Dongfang Sheng for revenge.

In the county government office of Zhangwu County, Dongfang Sheng was sitting at the top, with Zhao Yun, Zhang Yun, Wang Hu, Badao, Zhao Kai and Chu Jian under his command. Jia Xu is one.

But Jia Xu can stand up to many of them. He is known as a poisonous man. After Zhang Xiu returned to Cao Cao, he has been supporting Cao Cao's important counselors in the later period, and he is also the only Cao Cao counselor who died well. one.

He is not famous in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but his evaluation in Romance of the Three Kingdoms is very high.Jia Xu, who is a commoner, has almost no strategy left behind, and after the contingency changes, he is good and flat.This is Chen Shou's evaluation, saying that Jia Xu has clever calculations and has comparable talents to Zhang Liang and Chen Ping.

At that time, General Duan Yan and Jia Xu were stationed in Huayin in the same county, and Jia Xu went to join Duan Yao.Jia Xu has always been well-known and admired by Duan Yan's army. Duan Yan is afraid that Jia Xu will seize his military power, but on the surface he treats Jia Xu very politely.

After Jia Xu saw it, she felt uneasy.Nanyang Zhang Xiu had a secret relationship with Jia Xu, so Zhang Xiu sent someone to meet Jia Xu.

When Jia Xu was leaving, someone asked Jia Xu: "Duan Yan treated you so well, why did you leave?" Jia Xu said: "Duan Yan is suspicious by nature, and he meant to suspect me. Although the treatment is generous, he cannot be relied on. , I will be killed by him if I stay for a long time, and he must be very happy to leave him, and he expects me to connect with foreign aid and treat my family well. Zhang Xiu lacks counselors and is very willing to get me, so that my family and I can be preserved."

When Jia Xu arrived at Zhang Xiu's place, Zhang Xiu was overjoyed and led his descendants to greet him.And Duan Yan knew that Jia Xu had left, so he really treated his family kindly.

Of course, there are many situations mentioned above. The most important thing for Jia Xu is to be able to see through human nature.This is Jia Xu, a smart man, and a smart man who protects his family.

Some people say that Jia Xu is a chaotic man, but this is actually an extremely ridiculous statement.Even if Li Jue and Guo Si did not capture Luoyang City, could the Eastern Han Dynasty continue forever?
Although Dongfang Sheng didn't know very well, he also knew that Jia Xu was a good adviser. As for Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, although Dongfang Sheng wanted to recruit them, he probably didn't have enough prestige at this time to make them work for him.

"Le Hedang must enter Bohai County from Quanzhou County in Yuyang County." Zhao Yun glanced at the map and said, "I would like to take the Changsheng Army to set up an ambush to intercept and kill."

Dongfang Sheng pondered for a while and said, "Although Le Hedang is not a great figure, he leads Gongsun Zan's White Horse Yicong. I think Zilong must know the strength of the White Horse Yicong."

Zhao Yun remained silent. As a village chief of Baima Yicong, he certainly knew the strength of Baima Yicong.That is Gongsun Zan who has been fighting against Xianbei, Xiongnu and other alien races. Although there are not many people, all of them are elite soldiers.

It was because of Gongsun Zan in Youzhou that those alien races bowed their heads and ears and did not dare to act rashly. Speaking of which, he and Dong Zhuo were almost the same, the same toughness, and the same cruelty and betrayal in the end.

Zhao Yun breathed out and said, "My lord, do you want to lead Feiying Camp to Quanzhou County?"

"I'm not going to Quanzhou." Dongfang Sheng shook his head. Zhao Yun was a little stunned. He originally thought that Dongfang Sheng was worried about his Changsheng Army and that's why he said that, but Dongfang Sheng said he would not go to Quanzhou, which made Zhao Yun a little confused. sorted out.

"What I need is a big victory, not a tragic victory." Dongfang Sheng explained, "Now we are short of troops, so we can't over-deplete them. Although we can win by setting up an ambush, I'm afraid it will cost a lot."

"Then according to my lord's opinion?" Zhao Yun was a little confused about the situation. Wouldn't it be possible to defeat Baima Yicong without paying three times as many soldiers?
Dongfang Sheng is well aware of the importance of a commander to the army, even if the leader of the modern army of later generations is killed, it will inevitably cause panic, so Dongfang Sheng decided to win the war by beheading the next generation.

"Catch the thief and capture the king!" Dongfang Sheng said with a smile, "You still take the Changsheng Army to set up an ambush, and you can attack only after I cut off Le Hedang's head and give a signal!"

Although Jia Xu didn't agree with Dongfang Sheng's beheading action, he had to say that Dongfang Sheng's move was good.

Le Hedang is not the commander of Baima Yicong. It is not a good idea to let someone who is not familiar with Baima Yicong lead the army. As long as the commander dies, it will definitely cause chaos.

In the battles of this period, the main general has a great influence on the soldiers below. Once the main general dies, no matter how many soldiers there are, they will collapse due to panic.

Although Zhao Yun was somewhat dissatisfied with Dongfang Sheng's method, judging from the number of soldiers Dongfang Sheng currently has, I am afraid that this method is really the only way to reduce the loss of soldiers.

Nowadays, wars are raging, and many places are even deserted for thousands of miles. Guanzhong has become dilapidated because of Dong Zhuo's rebellion. If Dongfang Sheng hadn't killed Li Jue in advance, I am afraid that Guanzhong will experience another Li Jue like in history. The Guo Si rebellion will only become more depressed.

But even so, the situation in Guanzhong is not much better. Although Li Jue is dead, but Guo Si and Zhang Ji are facing each other, the situation in Guanzhong is still not very good.

Dongfang Sheng wants to recruit soldiers, but in Linhai, Bohai County, there are pirates raging and the population is dying and the economy is not very good. It is even more difficult to recruit soldiers. Although there are few locals, they are extremely tough.

Since ancient times, strong soldiers have been produced in places of bitter cold. Although Dongfang Sheng did not recruit many soldiers, most of them were strong soldiers. This also slightly made up for the shortcoming of insufficient soldiers.

If the reputation is not enough, it can be built slowly; if the territory is not big enough, it can be seized slowly; if the ambition is not big enough, it can be gradually enlarged.

Dongfang Sheng didn't believe in the son of heaven, let alone the nonsense of the later history books saying that the emperor was born with visions. They all have one nose and two eyes, which is nothing unusual.

The reason for this beheading action this time is also Jia Xu's suggestion. He thinks that although Le Hedang is Gongsun Zan's brother-in-law, he is not the real master of Baima Yicong after all, so he only needs to be removed, and the powerful Baima Yicong will definitely The group of dragons has no leader, and Zhao Yun will lead the cavalry to attack again at that time, and it is estimated that this time they will return with a big victory.
