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

Chapter 41 Wen He’s clever plan to calm the world
Jia Xu has one characteristic when giving advice to others - he doesn't advise, that is, he never cares about the listener's final choice.

Because people can only have one destiny.

The more he rises and falls in the world, the more he fears the unknown. Even Jia Wenhe only thinks that he can see a little further and think a little deeper than ordinary people. How can he have the confidence to be a guiding light for others?
Seeing that Xu Jiashu chose to take the initiative without hesitation, he, as a veteran soldier, gave Magistrate Xu a thorough explanation of the difficulty and operational points of the night attack.

How to launch a successful night attack?

First, there must be enough elite manpower.

In the general sense, being able to conquer and fight well is of little use in situations like night raids, at least not as much as usual.

Those who participated in the night attack had to go deep into the camp of tens of thousands of troops, beat gongs and drums while the enemy was sleeping, fan the flames everywhere, and then calmly return the same way they came.

In this series of tasks, the most important thing is to remain calm in the face of major events. As the saying goes, "A brave man with blood will have a red face when he is angry; a man with a brave pulse will have a green face with anger; a man with bone bravery will have a pale face with anger; a man with divine courage will have a pale face when he is angry." People are angry but their expression remains unchanged.”

Therefore, these people must be "brave" men, and their combat effectiveness is secondary.

And the most difficult thing to deal with is that even if there are a sufficient number of warriors, they must not suffer from night blindness, also known as "bird blindness", which is common in this era. Otherwise, no matter how brave they are, it will be in vain.

Isn't this a coincidence?

Night blindness is mostly caused by acquired lack of vitamin A, which can be solved by eating more protein and animal liver. This is common sense in modern times!

Under Jia Xu's doubtful eyes, Xu Jiashu said that he could solve the manpower problem.

So we started talking about the second difficulty - to hide from the enemy's early warning system.

Due to the prevalence of night blindness, preparing for possible night attacks has become a compulsory course for military generals.

A common method is to set up sentries to monitor the enemy's movements.

In addition, the camping party usually sets up trenches and traps, lays deer antlers and caltrops, erects camp walls, lights torches, clears surrounding trees, etc.
Camps should also be spaced apart from each other, and important supplies should be guarded by dedicated personnel.

The above are all routine operations.

"However, if the opponent's guard is a fool, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Jia Xu concluded.

"Zhang Ren and Yan Yan," Xu Jiashu recalled how Liu Bei entered Shu, and a chill ran down his back: "Both are Shu generals."

"It doesn't matter."

Hearing this, Jia Xu lowered his demands, "If we can carefully avoid the enemy's eyes and ears, we can still come back alive."

After all, traps are dead but people are alive. As long as they are not discovered by the Yizhou soldiers' sentries in advance and then fall into an ambush, the rest will be nothing more than a victory.

Unknowingly, the two of them silently changed their goal from [night raid and robbery of the camp] to [come back alive].
"That's it?" Xu Jiashu asked curiously, "Are there any other difficulties?"

"Yes, there is, but for Zi Mao, it's not a problem." Jia Xu said a rare piece of good news.

"What is it?"

Jia Xu looked serious, and his words seemed to have a ring of gold and iron: "A general who is willing to die but not live, and who will never move forward!"

What is a kidnapping camp?
It is the most extreme way of using a small person to make a big difference, where hundreds of people go to kill people and set fire to thousands of troops. The leader must have enough weight, otherwise he will not be able to lead this group of brave men.

This is a huge gamble that he can't afford to lose. Xu Jiashu has no one else to entrust him to. He must put his own life on the gambling table, just for the chance of a royal flush that reverses the situation!
"Zimao, after hearing this, do you still want to go?" Jia Xu's words pointed directly at people's hearts, "You must know that if there is a slight mistake, a thousand arrows will pierce the heart!"

If Xu Jiashu showed a little wavering, Jia Xu would not mind making an exception and urging this little brother to run away with him.

"." Xu Jiashu lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

It seems that he has enlightened himself. Jia Xu is happy and regretful at the same time. After all, he knows that life is precious. In this world, what is more important than living well?

At least he didn't think so.

It's just a pity that the world has lost another heroic seedling.

"How can we avoid the sentry?" Xu Jiashu raised his head, "It feels a bit difficult."

"Is this what you were thinking about just now?"

"correct."

"You kid!" Jia Xu stopped stroking his beard and stood up, "Then I'll help you again!"

[Jia Xu will not leave your camp until Nanzheng is besieged again]

[In the next few days, Jia Xu climbed up the tower at dawn and returned to your house at dusk. You introduced Liu Ying to Jia Xu.After Liu Xie died, she was no longer the eldest princess, and you told him that Liu Ying would become the future queen]

Jia Xu didn't come back until dark again. Recently, Liu Ying had been busy mobilizing the masses to collect tinder and small drums for night attacks in the city, so only two grown men were present for dinner.

I don't know why, but when the hostess is not at home, the interest in drinking is always higher.

In the yard, the two of them kept changing glasses, and even Xu Jiashu rarely felt drunk.

"Zimao," Jia Xu burped without any trace of wine, stroked his chest, and asked casually: "Did you save the eldest princess in order to become the late emperor's brother-in-law?"

"It's Her Majesty the Queen!"

Xu Jiashu recalled the scene when they first met with blurred eyes, "I didn't know her at the time!"

"Oh?"

Jia Xu suddenly became interested and leaned over to refill Xu Jiashu's wine bottle, as if waiting to hear the story, "Then you brought her to Hanzhong?"

While he was drunk, Xu Jiashu simply told everything that happened after coming to Hanzhong, including Liu Ying's performance in turning the tide when facing Zhang Lu, "If it weren't for Liu Yan, the thief, Hanzhong would have been taken back by her in one fell swoop!"

Jia Xu laughed dumbly, "Zimao actually really wants the eldest princess to become the queen?"

".Is there something wrong?"

Xu Jiashu had a natural look on his face - the Queen is so sentimental, and as the only descendant of Liu Hong, isn't she more orthodox than those clans that proclaimed themselves emperors?
"There's nothing wrong with it." Unfortunately, there is no word "romantic" in this era. Jia Xu looked at the moon and thought for a while, then sighed: "I just feel that Zi Mao is really a little unusual."

"But..." Jia Xu couldn't help but ask: "Since Zi Mao didn't fancy the identity of the eldest princess in the first place, why would he risk his life to fight Liu Yan now?"

This question is actually asking Xu Jiashu, since he has no interest in power, why is he going to the battlefield again now? Wouldn't it be better to find a quiet place to hide and live with Liu Ying?

If you wanted to be a lover, why did you end up becoming a fighter?
"Maybe it's because Liu Ying wants this world." Xu Jiashu drank it all and thought seriously, "All her family members died because of this. If it was really lost, she might be very sad. "

Before becoming a lover, one must become a fighter. This is what he thought. If a person does not fight for what he loves, then what on earth is he loving?

"It's so."

Jia Xu muttered to himself.

For a long time, he raised his head and looked up at the night sky, pointed at the half-missing moon exposed in the clouds and said to Xu Jiashu: "Zimao, look, my plan is done!"
