Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 556 Zhang Xiu's Helplessness

Looking at Xu You's smile, Yuan Shao seemed to think of something, looked at Xu You and said, "Ziyuan meant... Karasuma?"

"That's right. At that time, the lord and Gongsun Bogui were in a stalemate. Karasuma Dai Shanyu Tadun once sent envoys to ask for a marriage, and sent troops to help the lord defeat Gongsun Bogui. The lord bestowed titles and seals in the name of the court, and gave him as the eldest daughter. Marriage, now is the time to use this person!" Xu You smiled.

Yuan Shao murmured: "Although Ta Dun is brave and good at fighting, he might not be Lu Bu's opponent..."

As he spoke, he stopped suddenly and looked at Xu You.

"My lord, people who are not of our race must have a different heart. They cling to the lord and make peace with the lord because the lord is strong. But after this battle, even if our army wins, it will be a miserable victory. It will be weak for a while. At that time, how can we prevent Tadun from invading? How about inviting Tadun to enter the pass at this time and contain Lu Bu, as for his safety, why should the lord worry about it?" Xu You said with a serious face.

Whether the Hu people can be trusted or not is a consensus. The big Han and Karasuma, Xianbei, and Xiongnu have always been wooed and suppressed. If the Hu people are strong, they will try to split them.

The Xiongnu and Xianbei who were strong in the past and even suppressed the big Han are now a thing of the past. Although Karasuma has not yet ruled the grassland like the Xianbei and the Huns in the past, Tadun is well-known for his prestige, and he acts decisively and fairly. Karasuma's various ministries trust him, and he has the style of a prairie hero. It would be best if he could use Lu Bu's hand to suppress his rising trend. Seize the city of Ye and stabilize the situation.

Yuan Shao took a deep breath, nodded and said: "Immediately send someone to Jiangdong and Jingzhou with my letter to ask Sun Quan and Liu Biao to send troops to help, and another person to go to Karasuma, please send troops to intercept Lu Bu!"

As for whether Tadun would send troops, Yuan Shao would not be worried about this. Tadun dreamed of going south. Although he helped him defeat Gongsun Zan at the beginning, he captured more than [-] households in Yuyang, Youbeiping, and Liaoxi counties and moved them outside the Great Wall. .

However, Yuan Shao had just stabilized the situation at that time, and it was not easy to turn his face. These people were treated as a reward for asking Tadun to send troops. Now that Tadun is given an aboveboard reason to go south to Youzhou, Tadun would wake up laughing, how could he refuse?

Everyone agreed, and each took the order to retreat. As for whether it will be possible in the end, no one knows, but at least they know what to do now.

Guo Tu went to Karasuma to recruit soldiers, Xu You was a famous scholar in Nanyang, and had a long-standing friendship with famous scholars in Jingzhou, so he went to Jingzhou to lobby. As for Jiangdong, Tian Feng finally went to lobby.

Yuan Shao ordered people to rush to Jizhou to inquire about the situation of the battle. At the same time, he got in touch with the troops of Cao Ren, Xia Houyuan, and Han Qiong, telling them not to move lightly and wait for orders from here.

After everything was agreed upon, Yuan Shao was free, and the question was still in his mind. Gaozu was clearly in Yecheng, and Chu Nan's children should not have been able to invade Yecheng so easily even if they used conspiracy and tricks. What happened to Gaozu's side? What happened?
……

Nanyang, Wancheng, and Zhang Xiu have been unable to cope with the turmoil of the gentry recently. During this period of time, the gentry in Nanyang have used various means to deal with him, both openly and secretly. Outside, Liu Bei led the gentry to support the soldiers and horses to fight all the way to Yuyang , Zhang Xiu fought against Liu Bei several times, but he was not Guan Yu's opponent, and was almost killed by Guan Yu several times.

"Sir, it can't be done. If this continues, Nanyang will definitely fall. Why don't I follow the example of Lingjun and slaughter the Nanyang gentry?" Zhang Xiu looked at Jia Xu, who was still an old god, with murderous intent in his eyes. I really didn't expect that everyone was in peace, so how could this group of scholars be so easily instigated by Liu Bei to deal with him.

"Not enough!" Jia Xu shook his head and smiled.

"What's not enough?" Zhang Xiu looked at Jia Xu suspiciously, not understanding what he was talking about.

"The time has not come yet, the general's defeat is not complete enough." Jia Xu said with a smile.

"Sir! Now the east of the Feishui is almost taken by Liu Bei, and the west of the Feishui is also captured by Anzhong, Nieyang, and Rang counties. This is not enough!?" Zhang Xiu didn't know what to say. Very embarrassing, okay?Does it have to be enough to die in battle?

Jia Xu didn't answer, but leisurely picked up the kettle and took a sip of warm water.

"Sir~" Zhang Xiu looked at Jia Xu's appearance, and said a little aggrieved: "Even if the master wants me to die in battle, you should teach me to be a sensible ghost."

"The reason is also simple, Liu Bei's foundation is not enough." Jia Xu looked at Zhang Xiu and smiled.

"So what? Now that all the gentry in Nanyang listen to his orders, isn't the foundation already established?" Zhang Xiu was even more puzzled.

"Before Liu Bei, there was only a small town of Xinye, with no more than three thousand soldiers. There was only one Guan Yu who was famous, and the rest were nothing to fear. This is Liu Bei's foundation. As for the others, he just used Liu Bei's hand to drive away the general. Now they are surrounded Liu Bei's side may be due to the fact that Liu Bei has the means, but it is more for Nanyang. The general holds the military power in Nanyang and opened up business with Ling Jun. There is no need to beg for mercy from the nobles of Nanyang, or even the magistrates of the counties. A lot of them are from the Hall of Strange People, no matter which point, it is enough for the Nanyang nobles to take action against the general."

Jia Xu helped Zhang Xiu analyze the situation in a calm and unhurried tone: "But the general has an official position conferred by the court and has no obvious faults. In this battle, there must be a flag, and Liu Bei will It's this flag."

"This..." Zhang Xiu looked at Jia Xu, seeming to understand, but also didn't seem to understand: "Then what should I do?"

"Two ways, interrupt this flag, or let the Nanyang scholars feel that it doesn't matter whether the flag is there or not." Jia Xu drank his saliva and smiled.

"I want to interrupt this flag!" Zhang Xiu bluntly stated his wish. He was bullied by Guan Yu so badly. Xiu hated Guan Yu deeply, but he couldn't do anything about it. This man was far above him, whether he was single-handedly brave or commanding an army. Reasoning?
Jia Xu drank tea silently and did not answer.

"Sir!" Zhang Xiu looked at Jia Xu helplessly, "Is there a way?"

Jia Xu put down his water glass and was about to speak when he saw Hu Che'er hurried in, saluted the two of them, "My lord, sir."

"What's the matter?" Zhang Xiu straightened his body and coughed lightly.

"Central Plains urgent report, Yuan Shao led the elite to leave Yecheng for some reason. One month later, Chu Lingjun suddenly led the Black Mountain Army to appear outside Yecheng, and successfully seized Yecheng and broke through Yecheng." Hu Che'er bowed.

"Oh?" Jia Xu's eyes widened a little, and he reached out to take the letter. After reading it, he was a little surprised: "Yuan Shao led the elite to leave Yecheng, there must be a reason, send someone to find out about this matter!"

"Here!" Hu Che'er looked at Zhang Xiu, saw Zhang Xiu nodded, clasped his fists in a salute, turned around and ran away.

"It's so fast!" Jia Xu subconsciously went to get the water glass, but grabbed it in fear. When she turned her head to look, she saw Zhang Xiu holding the water glass and looking at herself with resentment.

"Cough~ what did the general just say?" Jia Xu laughed.

"Sir, do you have a way to let me defeat Guan Yu?" Zhang Xiu asked with a dark face.

"No." Jia Xu said simply.

Zhang Xiu: "..."

His gaze became even more resentful.

"Guan Yu, is the god general of the world. Since he lost Zhang Fei in the battle of Runan, he has been brave and diligent. He dared not speak up as much as Wen Hou, but his growth is really amazing. Moreover, he is both civil and military. He is not only superior in martial arts, but also unified Soldiers are also fierce in battle, looking at the world, there are not many who can defeat this man, although the general is a handsome man, but compared with Guan Yu, he is far away, it is almost impossible for the general to defeat Guan Yu head-on." Jia Xu comforted her.

Zhang Xiu said that she was not comforted, and even wanted to find a place to cry.

"Although there is no way to defeat Guan Yu, there is a way to defeat him." Jia Xu laughed.

"Sir, please tell me!" Zhang Xiu immediately cheered up. Although he felt that these two sentences should have the same meaning, literati always like to do things like taking off their pants and farting.

"Liu Bei and Guan Yu are able to achieve what they are today, all thanks to the support of Nanyang scholars. In other words, if these scholars give up Liu Bei, Guan Yu will only be a general with less than [-] troops. Return to Xinye." Jia Xu smiled.

"But do you want to imitate Lingjun and slaughter the gentry?" Zhang Xiu looked at Jia Xu and asked.

"The reason why Lingjun can do this is because he has absolute military power. Marquis Wen's bravery is unparalleled in the world. He has successively defeated heroes from Jiangdong, heroes from all walks of life in the Central Plains, including Cao Cao. These battles, including the current north-south dispute, but One defeat is enough to put Ling Jun and Wen Hou in a state of doom, the general is incapable of suppressing Guan Yu first, so if you use this method, please send my subordinates and family members to the Central Plains first." Jia Xu shook his head.

The road to success of Lu Bu and Chu Nan cannot be replicated. Three conditions must be met. First, you must have money. No matter how powerful a person is, it is useless, and it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

Secondly, the military power is in hand and has absolute oppressive power, just like Lu Bu was able to fight his way out even in the face of explicit or covert encirclement and suppression by Cao Cao, the Chen family, and Jiangdong Sun Ce.

The third thing is to have a brain. If there is only Lu Bu without Chu Nan, or only Chu Nan without Lu Bu, or if both of them are together but suspicious of each other, it is impossible to do these things.

Right now, Zhang Xiu can barely achieve the third point, and the other two points are not available. The financial resources come from Xuchang's business, but now that the Central Plains is fighting, all financial and material resources are given priority to the front line. As for military power, although Zhang Xiu has the military power in Nanyang , but he does not have the ability to suppress Guan Yu, so he does not have these two points. Forcibly imitating Chu Nan, there is only a dead end.

"Sir, no, what should I do?" Zhang Xiu laughed quickly.

"Bring them together first, then split them up, and then kill them!" Jia Xu laughed.

Zhang Xiu looked at Jia Xu, saw that Jia Xu stopped talking, and said helplessly, "Can you elaborate, sir?"

I'm really fed up with Jia Xu's personality that can't beat two farts with three sticks!
