Chapter 241 Opponent (Two in One)

A few days ago, Lin Xi held Liu Bei's saber and ordered Zhao Yun and Xun Yu to split into two groups, letting Xun Yu lead Guan Ping along the way, and at the same time escorting the people to Taishan County to return to their orders.

The other way is to let Zhao Yun lead his army to Qinghe and wait for the opportunity.

After Zhao Yun received the order, he thought about it all night, but he didn't understand what it meant to wait for an opportunity, and what was the deep meaning in it.

Furthermore, Liu Bei's orders have always been simple and clear, and the assigned tasks are also clearly divided. It is rare to see such ambiguous military orders.

From this, Zhao Yun guessed that this should be written by Lin Chao.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yun shook his head and smiled, and stopped thinking about it.

Supervising the army has always been unconstrained and unconstrained, so I probably can't figure it out.The most urgent task right now is to rush to Qinghe first.Maybe by the time they arrived at Qinghe, the next military order from the supervising army had already arrived.

Sure enough, when Zhao Yun marched to the border between Julu County and Qinghe County, Jia Xu had been waiting on the official road for a long time with dozens of entourages.

Zhao Yun had never had any contact with Jia Xu, but he had heard from his brother-in-law Lin Xi that Jia Wenhe was extremely talented, and even his brother was regarded as a guest of honor.

With just such a sentence, Zhao Yun probably understood Jia Xu's ability.

Seeing that Jia Xu finished eating the jerky in his hand, Zhao Yun thoughtfully handed over a pot of water.Jia Xu was also polite, took it and drank it in a big gulp, and finally let out a satisfied sigh.

These days Guo Jia is having a hard time under Lin Chao's subordinates, but in fact he, Jia Xu, is similar.

For example, this habit of eating meat, he can't do it when facing Liu Bei's advisers who pay attention to manners.

In the final analysis, the secret of Goudao lies in camouflage.

And Zhao Yun, being one of his own and an honest person, naturally would not spread his ugliness, which caused Jia Xu to let himself go completely.

Zhao Yun waited for him to drink enough, and then asked: "Mr. Jia, what is the meaning of the lord's ordering a certain soldier here. If there is a war, I would like to ask Mr. Jia to make preparations early."

Migrating people from Jizhou is naturally a heavy task, but when Zhao Yun heard that Liu Bei attacked Taishan County, he also had some desire in his heart, after all, he hadn't fought for half a year.

Jia Xu chuckled, and began to wash her oil-stained beard with water, and a pair of eyes that seemed to have insight into the world, projected a light of wisdom.

"General Zhao, don't worry, there must be a chance to make meritorious deeds this time."

Seen by Jia Xu's quick glance, Zhao Yun smiled embarrassedly and said, "Mr. Jia can just call a certain Zilong. But, our army really doesn't need to rectify first?"

"No hurry, no hurry." Jia Xu shook his head slowly and said, "I have two questions, I want to ask General Zhao, if the general has figured it out, it won't be too late for us to march again."

Although Zhao Yun asked Jia Xu to call him Biao Zi, Gou Sheng Jia Xu would not easily agree, and Zhao Yun's status in Liu Bei's group was much higher than him, so he thought it would be better to call him "General Zhao" for the time being.

"Sir, if you have something to say, you might as well speak up."

Zhao Yun thought that Jia Xu was preparing to test himself, and his face was full of sincerity.

"First, have you ever heard, the general, that the mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole follows?" Jia Xu stretched out a finger and said with a smile, "or in other words, when the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman wins."

Mr. Jia underestimated me too much.

Zhao Yun thought about it, and then he opened his mouth to answer: "Sir, the so-called mantis catching cicadas, the oriole is behind, it means..."

But after only half a sentence, he met Jia Xu's smiling eyes, and Zhao Yun woke up suddenly.

wrong!

Mr. Jia is so talented, how can he ask such a question that even a three-year-old child knows?
Reminiscent of the current situation, Zhao Yun suddenly realized that the real answer was ready to come out.

Seeing Zhao Yun's expression, Jia Xu couldn't help but nodded with a smile, and asked, "Secondly, since my lord started his army the year before last, he has been almost invincible, why is that?"

this problem……

Zhao Yun thought about it carefully, and then said: "Sir, I think that the reason why the lord is invincible is because there are many capable people under his command, and they all work together, and this is the result of today."

"That's one of the reasons, but not all."

Jia Xu laughed and said: "When I was in high school, Lin Zichu once said something, which I thought was very reasonable, and today I also said it to the general to listen to."

"What?"

Upon hearing what Lin Chao had said, Zhao Yun immediately became interested.

"To judge a person's talent, one must look at one's enemy."

"This……"

Hearing this, Zhao Yun fell silent, pondered for a while, and when he was about to say something, Jia Xu stood up, patted his buttocks, and walked into the tent without looking back.

"Forgive me, General. I'm a little tired after traveling all the way from Fenggao. Let's go to rest first."

Looking at Jia Xu's back, Zhao Yun suddenly thought of what Jia Xu said just now, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

It seems that Mr. Jia will never have a deep talk with him before he realizes it.

The first question is easy to understand.

Based on the current situation, Sun Guan of Guangzong is the cicada, the princes of Yanzhou are the mantises, and his side is the oriole.

But the second question... why has Liu Bei been invincible in recent years?

Zhao Yun thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't figure it out.

Jia Xu's group of riddlers has been very successful.

……

Wei County, Qiqiu County.

General Pan Feng of Wushuang signed a guarantee ticket in front of Han Fu, led [-] troops out of Yecheng, and went straight to Wei County occupied by Sun Kang. On the day, the army attacked the city.

Although Han Fu admired Pan Feng's bravery, he himself was too indecisive. Before Pan Feng set off, he began to feel worried again, so he sent the cavalry captain Jushou as a military adviser to accompany the army in the battle.

Of course, Admiral Pan dismissed Ju Shou.And he said that he can follow the army, but don't get in the way. After defeating the bandit army, he will share some credit with Jushou.

The general's mind can be seen.

Regarding General Pan's charity, Ju Shou immediately nodded in agreement.

He also said that he was just a scholar, I don't know anything about the battlefield, General Pan watched the fight, as long as you are happy.

Afterwards, he called the trial assignment into his own account.

"Zhengnan, this wine was given to someone by General Pan. It is a superb product. It would be a pity not to taste it."

The conditions in the army were not very good, there were no wine glasses, let alone bronze bottles, but fortunately Jushou was not a person who paid attention to details, so he directly took out a large coarse porcelain bowl, filled it with the judge, and said with a smile at the same time.

Unlike Ju Shou who was full of smiles, the judge snorted coldly, and said disdainfully: "You, Ju Gong, also want that guy's wine, I really don't know what to say."

Ju Shou drank the wine in the bowl, and then persuaded with a smile: "Don't be angry, what is the crime of good wine, Zheng Nan should not implicate the innocent."

Hearing this, the examiner took a sip and exclaimed: "That Mrs. Pan is as stupid as a pig and a dog, he really spoiled such a good wine for no reason!"

Seeing that the judge had turned into a Zaan madman, Ju Shou quickly said:

"Keep your voice down, keep your voice down, I didn't want you to harm me by bringing you out. They are all General Pan's men inside and out."

"so what!"

It's okay if Ju Shou didn't persuade him, but after this persuasion, the trial match became more energetic, and he said loudly: "Mr. Pan, how dare you kill a... woo... woo..."

"Brother Zhengnan, speak carefully, speak carefully!"

Ju Shou rushed over and directly covered the judge's mouth, for fear that he would call Pan Feng over too loudly.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."

The trial match glared at Ju Shou, but he couldn't break free from this strong man's locked male posture.

"Zhengnan, as long as you stop talking nonsense, I will let you go, how about it?"

The examiner glared at Ju Shou, then nodded.

But as soon as Ju Shou let go, he immediately shouted: "Ju Gongyou, you actually begged for mercy from that man, I am ashamed of you for... woo woo..."

This time, Ju Shou didn't dare to let go of the trial and match.

This guy's mouth is too poisonous and his head is iron, if he is not careful, he will cause disaster.

"Zhengnan, don't be in a hurry, just listen to a few words."

Ju Shou maintained the posture of a strong man locking a man, and said with a smile: "The situation is chaotic at the moment. You and I are not trusted by the emperor. It is difficult to gain military power. It would be better to let General Pan charge forward. Wouldn't it be beautiful?"

Hearing this, the judge was stunned for a moment.

What do you mean, you want to treat Pan Feng as an early bird?
That's right, this is the Ju Gonghe I know!

Thinking about it, the appraiser nodded to Jushou, motioning him to let go of himself.

Seeing that the judge had stopped struggling, Jushou also understood that he would stop talking nonsense, so he let him go.

This time, the judge did not yell anymore, but stood up, straightened the clothes that Ju Shou had messed up just now, then sat down again, took another sip from the wine bowl.

"Gongyu, you call someone here, do you want to discuss important matters with him?"

After taking a few sips of fine wine, the judge's face turned rosy.

Of course, it could also be because I was too excited.

Hearing this, Ju Shou couldn't help but sighed while holding his forehead, resisting the urge to go up to cover the mouth of the judge again.

He finally understood the reason why Han Fu didn't put a lot of emphasis on trial assignments. This guy was not only stubborn, but also often made mistakes in his speech.

What is a joint discussion on major issues?

Can you be more precise with your words?
I don't know, I thought the two of us were planning to rebel!
"Brother Zhengnan, speak carefully, speak carefully..."

Ju Shou said this sentence countless times today.

The judge also knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, so he smiled embarrassingly and apologized.

Ju Shou took a sip of his wine, suppressed his shock, and then continued: "Brother Zhengnan, have you ever heard of Zhongshan Lin Zichu?"

Hearing this, Shen Pei nodded, his face became serious, and he asked: "But Marquis Anxiting, the prefect of Langya, Lin Chao, Lin Zichu who is currently the governor of Xuzhou?"

"Of course."

Jushou nodded.

"Do you know this person?"

Ju Shou shook his head and said, "I have never met this person, but I have known him for a long time."

"What do you mean by that?"

"The art of war says that if you know yourself and the enemy, you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles. How can you not think about this person!"

The judge smiled: "You think this person will be our enemy?"

"Brother Zhengnan was joking. In today's world, it is difficult to distinguish between friends and foes. Anyone can be our enemy!"

"This……"

After thinking for a while, the examiner understood Ju Shou's meaning, nodded and said, "That's true."

Ju Shou continued: "Liu Xuande started at the end of the century. At the beginning, he was only a county captain, but he rose rapidly, and even won consecutive battles. In the end, he became a prince. There is this person behind him. And every time this person makes a move, the timing is just right. It's as if he can see success or failure, it's puzzling. This person's calculations and control over people's hearts have reached an extremely terrifying level, as if he is still alive, it is frightening!"

This evaluation is not low. Even after hearing the audition, they all showed doubts.

What kind of person is Jushou? He is a genius that he has only seen in his life.

Even his evaluation like this is enough to show the horror of Lin Chao.

"Gongyu, what evidence do you have for your statement?"

It's just that the judge still didn't want to believe it, so he asked.

Now when others mention Liu Bei's camp, although Lin Chao is the most famous, the influence of Guan Yu, Xun You, Xun Yu and others is not in vain.

However, Jushou's words directly promoted Lin Chao to a new level. Without sufficient evidence, it would be difficult to convince the judge.

"There are three proofs."

Ju Shou held up three fingers and spoke.

"There are so many?"

"First, in the battle of Zhongshan the year before last, Liu Xuande had no more than a thousand soldiers and only a few generals. But since Lin Zichu defected, in just half a year, Liu Xuande conquered Zhongshan and killed Zhang Chun. At the same time, he also took Tian Yuanhao and Zhao Zilong. Both of them are not ordinary people."

The judge nodded and asked: "Then, the battle of Liu Xuande's real rise should be the battle of Bingzhou last year, the extermination of Xiu Tubu, and the Pingbai wave of bandits, but at this time Lin Zichu was far away in Luoyang and did not participate. "

"This is the second point I want to talk about. In the battle of Bingzhou, although Lu Zigan led the army, the soldiers used were still Liu Xuande's headquarters. In this battle, Liu Xuande used Yingchuan Xun Gongda as his army. Zhang Zhaozhi was so brave that he burned all the thieves in Bingzhou with a few fires.

It seems that it has nothing to do with him, Lin Zichu, but Brother Zhengnan knows that Lu Ziqian has always been hated by eunuchs, and at that time the late emperor was in court and favored eunuchs, how could Lu Zigan be allowed to lead the army?Furthermore, who recommended Xun Gongda to go to Liu Xuande and serve as a military adviser as soon as he arrived in the army? "

"This..." The judge became more and more absurd the more he heard it, and he couldn't help but retort, "I don't know how Lu Zigan was able to lead the army, but you said that Xun Gongda became Liu Xuande's military adviser after being recommended by Lin Zichu. Agreed. Xun Gongda was recruited by General He Suigao to enter the capital, but Lin Zichu entered Luoyang alone, how can he stir up the situation in the capital!"

"But at the end of last year, Lin Zichu married the daughter of the Xun family, and also attracted Xun Wenruo and Xun Youruo. Everyone knows this. Maybe Lin Zichu had already planned all this before he came to Beijing."

In the face of the facts, the judge was unwilling to believe it, but he couldn't deny it, so he could only continue to ask: "What about the third point?"

"The third point is that it is time for Liu Xuande to surround Luoyang and ask for rewards." Ju Shou's eyes were full of wisdom, and he sneered, "The first emperor died less than ten days ago, and Liu Xuande led the army to Luoyang. Under Yangcheng, this is too coincidental. It should be noted that Dong Zhongying and Ding Jianyang who received the order to enter Beijing at that time did not come as quickly as Liu Xuande."

"This!"

The judge was completely shocked, and lost his voice: "Gongyu, you suspect that the death of the late emperor is related to him, Lin Zichu!"

Ju Shou shook his head and said, "That's not true. At that time, he was still alone in Luoyang, and he had no ability to murder the late emperor. But after the late emperor passed away, he, Lin Zichu, must have gotten the news immediately and informed Liu Xuande to rush To Luoyang..."

The examiner smiled wryly and said, "So, most likely, Lin Zichu also colluded with the eunuch, otherwise it is impossible to explain how he got the news."

"That's right." Ju Shou nodded and said, "That's why someone said that Lin Zichu was in Luoyang, and he definitely had a plan, and he was very skilled in grasping the timing."

"Gongyu, if the above three things are true as you said, then Lin Zichu...is truly terrifying."

The judge nodded and said solemnly.

At this time, Ju Shou stood up, looked at the judge, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"As handsome as Lin Zichu, brother Zhengnan doesn't want to fight with him?"

Even so, the judge saw through Ju Shou's intentions at a glance, and said with a sneer, "Oh, it's because you, Mr. Ju, are so itchy and want to fight Lin Zichu?"

"That's right. Although he, Lin Zichu, is terrifying, but he is overconfident and wants to weigh himself."

Ju Shou admitted it frankly, with a faint smile still on his face.

His eyes were full of fighting spirit and anticipation.

This is the first time I have seen Jushou in such a state.

 There are two versions of Jushou's Biaozi. Here, Lao Yu took Gongyu, because the granted characters and and the characters are quite detailed.

  Ju Shou is a very powerful figure. Compared with Yuan Shao, he is equivalent to Xun Yu to Cao Cao, and Zhuge Liang to Liu Bei.

  The strategy he planned for Yuan Shao is not much better than that of Longzhong. The original text is posted below, and interested friends can read it.

  A general with a weak crown ascends to the court, and he will be famous all over the world;If you ride alone, Dong Zhuo will be terrified; if you go to the north of Jihe River, you will see the head of Bohai.Vibrating the soldiers of one county, gathering the people of Jizhou, powerfully shaking Heshuo, and becoming famous all over the world.

  Although the Yellow Turban is cunning and Heishan is domineering, if you move your army to the east, Qingzhou can be settled; if you fight against Heishan, Zhang Yan will be destroyed;

  To the north of the Hengda River, in the land of the four prefectures, gather the talents of heroes, gather millions of people, welcome the grand master to Xijing, restore the ancestral temple to Luoyi, command the world to fight for the unrecovered, who can fight against it?
