Three Kingdoms: I don’t want to fall in love in troubled times

Chapter 40 Young man, are you really not afraid of death?
Seeing how miserable the Yizhou soldiers were, Xu Jiashu slept soundly on the couch.

As soon as he woke up the next day, he couldn't help but open the simulator immediately, wondering how Liu Yan, a conspicuous person, would deal with the next situation.

Originally, even if Liu Yan underestimated the enemy and launched an attack on Hanzhong without completing internal integration, these forbidden troops would not dare to fish in such an open and honest manner.

But it was Liu Ying's appearance at the top of the city that played a key role, and Shi Sunrui therefore initiated a series of contacts in private.

The generals of the Forbidden Army came all the way to join the army just to earn a living. They were far from being loyal to Liu Yan, the new lord, so they were happy to retain their strength and use this to enhance their voice in the army - -The more Yizhou soldiers died, the less Liu Yan dared to touch these forbidden troops. Instead, he had to find ways to please them.

This series of chain reactions actually originated from Xu Jiashu’s second option.

Although until now, he thought Liu Yan was just a simple dish
[Liu Yan could not attack Nanzheng for a long time, and Liu Biao, the herdsman of Jingzhou, was ready to move at the border. After hearing the news, the Yizhou army that besieged the city temporarily stopped the attack and retreated ten miles]

Xu Jiashu looked down and thought to himself: It looks like this conspicuous bag is going to slip away again. When I kill Zhang Lu and integrate the entire territory of Hanzhong, he will never have a chance again.

[Three days later, Liu Yan ordered the Yizhou soldiers to stay under surveillance, and the imperial troops bypassed Nanzheng City and attacked the remaining eight counties]

What?
Xu Jiashu thought he had seen it wrong.

Even a modern man like him knows that when facing a fortified city, bypassing it without attacking is the best option.

Only when Liu Yan desperately captured Nanzheng City could the Yizhou Army, which had been on an expedition, have a bridgehead and a food transfer station to continue advancing. Otherwise, the logistics line would become longer and longer, all the way from Shu to the front line, and become a fragile Changshan. of snake.

More importantly, Nanzheng City is located at the exit of Micang Road, firmly on the road to and from Hanzhong.

If he in the city gets a chance and leads a group of troops to block the rice warehouse road, the connection between Hanzhong and Shu will be completely cut off. By then, Liu Yan's army will be unable to fly, and they will all die in the narrow Hanzhong Basin.

Is Liu Yan crazy for daring to take such a risk?
"There is nothing to worry about when Liu Biao deceives the world and steals his reputation," Liu Yan announced in the military tent.

His retreat was not to guard against Liu Biao at the border, but to hold this meeting - he wanted to give the newly defected Forbidden Army a good beating and make them stop thinking about preserving their strength.

"But I want to advise all generals to take a long-term view." Liu Yan was wearing the emperor's military uniform, wearing a military bow on his head, a golden cicada on his head, and a flat scarf. He looked impressive with cold eyes. Will.

Dealing with these people under Nanzheng City might lead to a sudden mutiny, so Liu Yanren did not break out until this time.

He deprived a Forbidden Army general of his military power on the spot and warned everyone: "If anyone is timid in battle again, he will act according to military law!"

Hanzhong is the target that all Shu regimes must capture, and Liu Yan will never allow any more mischief.

He personally assigned tasks to various ministries.

"Wu Yi and Yan Yan stayed to keep an eye on Nanzheng, while the other generals attacked Chenggu, Xicheng, Baozhong, Mianyang, Anyang, Xixian, Shangyong, and Fangling respectively, so they could do things easily."

Liu Yan's plan was to let his two most trusted generals lead the Yizhou soldiers to continue to surround Nanzheng City, while letting the newly defected Forbidden Army attack the other eight counties that were relatively weak.

He didn't care about anything during the attack, and he could keep any spoils he grabbed, in order to encourage these forbidden troops to capture the entire territory of Hanzhong as soon as possible.

Doing so may cause Hanzhong's vitality to be severely damaged, and even the direct line may be unstable, but Liu Yan has no choice.For him, getting Hanzhong is more important than anything else. As for the negative impact caused, there will be plenty of opportunities to make up for it in the future.

Outside Nanzheng City, Yizhou's army attacked in all directions like a maiden scattering flowers, like a tsunami hitting the remaining eight counties in Hanzhong. Wherever it went, the fertile fields were turned into scorched earth and the beautiful scenery was burned to ashes. [The remaining Yizhou soldiers can only watch the friendly forces getting rich and lose the motivation to fight. The encirclement outside Nanzheng City suddenly becomes sparse, and your pressure is reduced a lot]

[One day, someone came from outside the city, claiming to be an old friend, and asked to see Magistrate Xu]

[This person’s name is Jia Wenhe]

"Zimao, are you okay?"

During this meeting, Jia Xu's image was consistent with the image of counselors in history. He was wearing a long robe with narrow sleeves and a timid mouth. He dismounted neatly, which reminded Xu Jiashu of Dong Bai's words, "I have never seen him in Xiliang." A man who cannot ride a horse."

"Brother Wenhe!"

Xu Jiashu was surprised and happy!
You know, in this simulation, he did not participate in the historical events after the capital was moved. He had been farming in Hanzhong, so except for Zhang Lu, he could not see any famous generals from the Three Kingdoms.

Now that Nanzheng County is in danger, the only person who can come to him as a small county magistrate at this time is Jia Xu, who he has friendship with in real life.

It is said that when Dong Zhuo died, according to Wang Yun's idea, all the Xiliang troops were to be killed, leaving no one alive. Fortunately, Liu Xie spoke to save their lives, so the Xiliang troops stayed in Chang'an to wait for reorganization, and Jia Xu Li Jue and Guo Si were not advised to risk their lives as in history.

But later Liu Xie died unexpectedly, and the Xiliang army and the imperial court went their separate ways. Most of them returned to their hometown in Liangzhou with the spoils of war, while a small number of them went south to join Liu Yan.

Naturally, Jia Xu looked down upon Liu Yan, but the Central Plains was too chaotic. Liu Yu, Liu Biao, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao and others were fighting in darkness. With Jia Xu's wise and wise nature, he would not take the initiative to take risks until the situation became clear. I heard that Xu Jiashu once again defended Nanzheng City and came to see him.

Xu Jiashu told Jia Xu unreservedly the process of defending the city twice.

"Brother Wenhe, what should I do?"

[Jia Xu stroked his beard for a long time and gave you three strategies for you to choose from]

[[-]. Contact Zhang Lu, and at the same time implement the strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the country in Hanzhong. Even if the Shu area is rich, it cannot always support the Yizhou soldiers and the imperial army through the Micang Road. The cost will be one thousand injuries to the enemy and nine hundred losses to oneself. 】

[[-]. Taking advantage of the fact that the Yizhou soldiers outside the city were not interested in fighting, they came out to rob the camp and attack at night. Once Liu Yan's direct lineage was destroyed, he would naturally be unable to command a scattered Forbidden Army. 】

[[-]. Take advantage of the loosening of the siege outside the city and sneak away with him. 】

【[-]. Free Simulation】

It has to be said that as a top strategist, the three strategies Jia Xu gave are of very high quality.

But if Jia Xu was given the choice, he would only choose to run away. After all, surviving is the biggest gain, and other actions have varying degrees of danger.

The purpose of strengthening the walls and clearing the country was to bet that the Yizhou army would starve away, and the night attack was simply to bet on one's life. According to Jia Xu's standards, neither was a good idea.

After he finished talking about the three strategies, he slowly looked at Xu Jiashu. Unexpectedly, the eyes of this young friend who had fallen in love with him at first sight in Luoyang blurted out: "I choose the second one, wrapped in armor and holding a ring, and robbing the camp will be like entering an uninhabited land." !”

Jia Xu shook his head, feeling a little funny.

Young man, are you really not afraid of death?
