Han Shimou

Thinking of this, Zhang Ji, who was sitting in the main table, quickly cut off the idea of ​​retreating, and then looked at Li Cui, who was sitting down, and Li Cui directly cast his gaze on Jia Xu.

Jia Xu, on the other hand, kept silent.When Jia Xu didn't speak, Li Cui didn't dare to speak, and quickly shook his head at Zhang Ji, expressing that he didn't pay attention either.Zhang Ji sighed in annoyance, waved his hand, and told Li Cui and Jia Xu to leave.

"Wen He. Now that there is not enough food and grass, the morale will be low. How to do this, please teach me."

After leaving the tent, Li Cui bowed to Jia Xu with a sincere expression.Jia Xu looked at Li Cui and said calmly.

"If so, now I ask General Li and General Zhang to withdraw their troops, go back to Luoyang, confess the crime to Dong Gong and explain its severity, and then issue a military order to reorganize the army, and then attack Hedong. Will General Li agree? General Zhang will agree again ?"

Li Cui was stunned, and Dong Zhuo's furious look rose in his mind, and he couldn't help shrinking his neck, cowering and cowering.

"It must not be done. You, Wen He, know Mr. Dong's temper. If he gets angry, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep my head in this regard."

"That's why I asked you to issue a military order. Although Mr. Dong has a bad temper, Li Zhongling is beside him to make suggestions. Today's defeat is all because at the critical moment, General Guo underestimated the enemy and did not pay enough attention to the strength of the Hedong Army.

Now, both General Zhang and General Li have suffered a lot, and they will definitely be more cautious when facing the enemy next time. In this way, it will be difficult for the Hedong Army to find a gap.As long as General Li and General Zhang make up their minds to conquer Hedong, their determination will definitely affect Dong Gong and Li Zhongling.At that time, Mr. Dong will not blame you too much, but will support you vigorously and let you make up for your mistakes. "

Li Ru pondered for a while, but in the end he was still afraid of Dong Zhuo's blame, so he hesitated to evade.

"Let me think about this matter a lot. Now, we still have [-] troops under our command. Although we have little food and grass, we can still last for two months. Besides, I am not a general in the army after all, and General Zhang is not so easy to persuade..."

When Jia Xu heard Li Ru's words, she shook her head on the spot, sighed, then ignored him and left alone.

At the same time, in Yanshi City.

"My lord, today's battle is all my fault. I didn't expect that there would be a master in the Liangzhou army who saw through my strategy and almost killed General Gao. This made a big mistake, Zhicai is willing to be punished!"

"No, third brother. It's Gong Ming who didn't discover the trick of the Liangzhou army earlier. The fault lies with me, and it has nothing to do with the military division, so let me alone bear it."

"The military division and the four generals are not at fault. It was the last general who was stupid and didn't know how to evacuate in time, which caused today's crisis. This is all the last general's fault!"

"Okay, you all get up. Zhicai, Boyi, and Gongming, none of you were at fault in today's battle. If you hadn't acted accordingly, I'm afraid that the loss now would be even greater.

The county government office in Yanshi was temporarily requisitioned by Wen Han. In the hall of the county government office, Wen Han helped Xi Long, Xu Huang, and Gao Shun.After the three of them came back, they all knelt down and accepted the crime.Wen Han knew that the three of them could not be blamed for today's battle, so after a while of comforting them with kind words, he tried his best to clear away the guilt and shadows in the hearts of Xi Long and the other three.

In today's battle, two thousand soldiers led by Xu Huang were killed, and the losses of soldiers led by Gao Shun were even more appalling, more than three thousand soldiers were killed in battle, and two thousand soldiers were slightly or seriously injured.The cavalry army led by Wen Han suffered relatively small casualties, only two or three hundred people.But even so, the number of casualties reached nearly 300.It is nearly one-third of the force of the Hedong Army.

It's no wonder that Xi Long, Xu Huang, and Gao Shun looked so ugly and guilty.But Wen Han didn't want to, they were sunk in the painful setbacks of the past, so they changed the topic.

"Who is this master of the Liangzhou army? He seems to be able to see everything we do. If today, if it weren't for someone with aspirations and quick wits, who knows how to burn food to turn things around, the consequences would really be unimaginable. "

Speaking of this expert, Xi Long's face froze, and his originally gloomy gaze immediately became radiant.

"My lord, this person has vicious schemes, and all his schemes are to drive people to death. From what I can see, this person's strategy is even better than that of Dong Zhuo's adviser, Li Ru. It's just that such a person, how can he be so unknown? Apart from Li Ru, Dong Zhuo had never heard of such a sharp counselor.

From this point of view, this person is not only cunning, but also good at hiding.If I had known that this number one expert was hiding in the Liangzhou army, I would never have made such a hasty plan. "

Vicious and good at hiding?Wen Han squinted his eyes, and quickly read the counselors under Dong Zhuo's command recorded in history in his mind.

Suddenly, Wen Han stared, wishing he could slap himself several times.

"Damn!! How did I forget this number!!"

Wen Han cried out sadly in his heart, he thought of a super strategist that he must not take lightly.That is Jia Xu, who is known as the "poison man".First served as a counselor in Li Jue's account, and then became Zhang Xiu's counselor after Li Jue and others failed.

Zhang Xiu used his strategy to defeat Cao Cao twice, and almost killed the peerless Cao Cao.If it wasn't for Dian Wei's loyal protection of the lord, he blocked Zhang Xiu's army with his own strength.I'm afraid that Cao Cao will die in Wancheng, and Cao Cao's eldest son Cao Ang also died in that battle.

Just like what Xilong said, Jia Xu came up with tricks, ruthless tricks, and forced people to death.Because of Jia Xu's superb strategy, even if Jia Xu murdered Cao Cao's most beloved general and eldest son, Cao Cao would not have the heart to kill him.Instead, he reused Jia Xu and won Jia Xu's sincerity, showing his true qualities as a hero.

Later, Jia Xu did not disappoint Cao Cao.Cao Cao fought Yuan Shao at Guandu, Tongguan defeated Xiliang, Ma Chao and Han Sui all had Jia Xu.

At the same time, Jia Xu played an important role in the issue of Cao Cao's successor.Because he secretly assisted Cao Pi.Cao Pi later proclaimed himself emperor and appointed his officials as Taiwei and Wei Shouxianghou.Moreover, it is said that Sima Yi was most afraid of these two in Cao Cao's group all his life. Before the two of them died, he never dared to show his ambition.One is of course the peerless hero Cao Cao, and the other is the poisonous Jia Xu!

At the same time, Jia Xu is good at hiding, which is also reflected in his practice after joining Cao Cao.Jia Xu often kept his door closed and never interacted with others in private, and his children did not marry powerful people when they got married.And he never competes with others, but he always knows that when Cao Cao needs him, he will always make plans at the most suitable time.

In a later generation, a master critic once commented on Jia Xu that Jia Xu was able to assess the situation in troubled times, and he was the one who lived the longest and saved his family.This is the real great wisdom, Jia Xu may be the smartest person in the Three Kingdoms period.

Wen Han didn't know whether Jia Xu was the smartest person in the Three Kingdoms period, but he was sure that this person was absolutely terrifying, because even today, Wen Han had tried his viciousness.Today's battle was also the heaviest loss in his history!

Thinking of Jia Xu, Wen Han's face became frightened for a while, Xi Long saw that Wen Han's face was covered with cold sweat, his expression was dull, and he called Wen Han several times before Wen Han came to his senses.

"Zhicai, pass on the order. Add more defenses, and don't attack rashly again. That expert is named Jia Xu. Against this person, you can't be a little, a little slack!"

This is the first time Xilong has seen Wen Han so dignified, so dignified that one can feel a little fear in him.Unconsciously, Xi Long felt a little nervous, and nodded heavily.

The first battle between the Hedong army and the Liangzhou army conquered by it ended in a loss for both sides.After a few days, there was no movement between the two parties. Wen Han was cautious in everything because he discovered Jia Xu's existence, and only thought of defending the city.Zhang Ji, the general of Liangzhou, also led Li Cui, Jia Xu and other soldiers to observe Yanshi City. Seeing that Yanshi had built an urn city, and it was completely guarded and waiting for the enemy to attack, Zhang Ji was in a panic. .

"Could it be that this article is extraordinary, and I knew that Dong Gong would send troops to conquer? Otherwise, how could this Yanshi be so heavily guarded, and this urn city can be seen to be newly built."

Zhang Ji shook his head, his face full of distress, as time goes by, the food in his army will be less and less, and the time left for him will be less and less.

On the other hand, Jia Xu, looking at Yanshi, who is as solid as gold, secretly admired him, and unconsciously valued Wen Han's Hedong Group.

Zhang Ji thought about it for a long time, but he didn't think of how to attack this Yanshi city. Besides Yanshi city, if he wanted to attack Hedong, he had to go to Hanoi or Hongnong.Now that time is running out, it is absolutely impossible to go away to Hongnong. As for Yuan Benchu, the prefect of Hanoi, who has just fallen out with Dong Zhuo, it is almost impossible to lend him the way.Therefore, Zhang Ji had no choice but to attack Yanshi City if he wanted to attack Hedong.

Zhang Ji sighed again and again, thinking of Li Tui's tricks that day, he asked him about the method.But Li Cui had no ink in his stomach at all, and after a while, it was not easy to ask Jia Xu face to face.I had no choice but to tell Zhang Ji that he couldn't think of any way to defeat the enemy for a while, and asked Zhang Ji to give him some more time.

Zhang Ji was very helpless, and after observing Yanshi Cheng for a while, he led the troops away.

In the next few days, Li Cui often pestered Jia Xu, persuading Jia Xu with good words and threats, but Jia Xu was determined and did not want to make any more plans, using the excuse of being helpless to evade Li Cui.

After that day, Jia Xu advised Li Cui to go back to Luoyang to regroup and fight again, but Li Cui refused to listen.Jia Xu's original interest was lost, and he had seen Yanshi's defensive measures. Unless there is a clever strategy implemented, it is basically impossible to break through within two months.

At this time, Jia Xu didn't want to show his talents too much. There were many reasons for this. Of course, the most important point was that Jia Xu was not optimistic about Dong Zhuo's ability to win the world.

Jia Xu had no idea, so Li Cui was of course dumb. Seeing that Li Cui hadn't thought of a way to defeat the enemy for many days, Zhang Ji stopped hesitating and prepared to storm Yanshi City.

On the day Zhang Ji made the decision to storm Yanshi, Jia Xu fell ill coincidentally, and asked Zhang Ji and Li to return to Luoyang to recuperate.Seeing Jia Xu's pale face and the fact that he seldom spoke in the army, Zhang Ji agreed to him.As for Li Cui, Jia Xu refused to advise him, it would be better to be out of sight to be quiet, and his sluggish look did not seem to be pretending to be sick, so he didn't stop him.

So Li urged a group of more than ten soldiers to escort Jia Xu back to Luoyang.Jia Xu walked halfway, stopped on a river bank, and said to Du Bo, the guard beside him.

"Chen Bing went to fetch water and wash my face."

This Dubo is also from Wuwei, Liangzhou, a fellow villager who came to Jia Xu, and he respects Jia Xu very much.And Jia Xu also regarded him as a confidant, and under Li Cui's command, he secretly helped him to be promoted from a pawn to a Dubo.Chen Bing was grateful to Jia Xu in his heart, and even vaguely regarded Jia Xu as his master.

After Chen Bing responded respectfully, he got off his horse and fetched water for Jia Xu with a bamboo tube. When he came back, he handed the bamboo tube to Jia Xu, and opened his mouth as if hesitating to speak.
