When Ji Han and his men traveled to the Three Kingdoms crew

Chapter 94 Because He is Liu Xuande
"Captain of the Qiang Guard?"

Not to mention Taishi Ci, even Liu Bei was stunned, because the "Protector of the Qiang" was not a miscellaneous title.

It can be traced back to the period of Emperor Xiaowu, and during the time of Emperor Xiaoxuan it was also called "the pioneers of the Qiang."

Its main purpose was to manage the Qiang people and obtain local strategic resources such as horses, food, timber, etc. in order to better deal with the Huns.

Therefore, the Protector of the Qiang was also called "Protector of the Qiang Envoy" or "Protector of the Qiang Envoy" and had the privilege of holding the imperial seal.

After the Southern Xiongnu surrendered, the Northern Xiongnu declined.

The court began to care less and less about the Qiang people. Since Emperor Guangwu, the Protector of the Qiang had been deposed and reinstated several times.

If the Qiang people had not frequently caused rebellions, I am afraid the court would not have appointed a commander to protect the Qiang.

Although the situation of the Protector of the Qiang was not as good as that of the Early Han Dynasty, he still had the privileges of farming, supervision, and expedition.

Although the permanent army consisted of 2,000 men, it once reached a huge number of 20,000, not to mention the ability to obtain high-quality horses.

Even Cao Cao, who invaded Jingzhou in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, had only 5,000 elite cavalry.

Liu Bei was not a fool. Although Jia Xu did not say anything, even Guan Yu, who had pacified the Hao family, could hear the plan behind it.

Not to mention Liangzhou, even the three thousand Youzhou soldiers he led, there were more than a hundred who were good at riding.
but
Liu Bei expressed his doubts, "Wenhe, it is not easy to become the Protector of the Qiang. Could it be that Wenhe has some clever plan?"

"It's not a brilliant plan." Jia Xu said loudly, "The Protector of the Qiang is usually a border officer. Your Excellency meets this requirement, but what he lacks is military merit and prestige among the Qiang and Hu people. I have a plan that can save Jincheng County from danger and make Zuo Chang suffer the consequences of his own actions!"

"Oh?"

Liu Bei's eyes suddenly lit up. This was Wen He's plan. Now Jincheng County was saved.
etc--

Thinking of Jia Xu's strategy in the book, Liu Bei immediately poured himself with cold water, calmed down immediately, and decided to listen first.

Liu Bei's change could not escape Jia Xu's eyes, but he did not mind at all, and said lightly: "My Lord, do you know Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou?"

"I know." Liu Bei nodded. "I heard that Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou are the two leaders of the Qiang and Hu tribes. They are quite prestigious among the Qiang and Hu people. All the Qiang people respect them. These two have great ambitions. They must be the source of the cholera in Liangzhou."

When he was governing Jincheng County and eliminating Beigong Boyu's spies, or "spies", he also thought of using the same method to counterattack, but time was tight and he only managed to pry out basic information about Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou from the Qiang and Hu people.

"Your Excellency only knows one side of the story. Beigong Boyu is a cautious man with some strategy. Compared with the other Qiang and Hu people, he has far-reaching ambitions. Li Wenhou is brave and knowledgeable in military affairs. Unfortunately, the flaws of these two are also obvious. They look down on ordinary people, but treat the nobles with great respect. It is not difficult to guess their purpose. They want to borrow the reputation of the famous scholars to whitewash their own actions and add legitimacy to their occupation of Jincheng and even Liangzhou."

"At present, the city walls of Jincheng County, except for Wuyun County and Lingju, where the Qiang Protector is temporarily staying, have all fallen into disrepair over the years. It is really difficult to resist the Qiang and Hu."

There was no panic on Jia Xu's face, and he remained calm.

Liu Bei hurriedly said: "Please teach me, sir!"

All sorts of things came to Jia Xu's mind, but he glanced at Liu Bei and finally said out the not-so-good plan. One word came out of his mouth, "Fire."

"fire?"

Liu Bei and Taishi Ci looked at each other in confusion. There were no mountains or canyons in Jincheng County, and the terrain was almost concave. Even if they used fire tactics, it would be impossible to achieve much success.

The two of them thought of what Jia Xu had mentioned before, their eyes widened, and a flash of lightning passed through their heads.

Is it
Jia Xu did not keep the secret, "Use Han Yue as bait to lure the enemy deep into our territory, close the gates and beat the dog, set fire to the city, and divert the disaster to the east."

"What about the people in the city?" Liu Bei asked.

"It's OK, Lord. A few days ago, Chief Clerk Jian issued a decree, and the people of Haomen County have been evacuated one after another. There is still plenty of time." Jia Xu asked in return: "Does the Lord care about the gains and losses of a city or a place? Or does he care about Han Yue's life?"

Liu Bei took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and then unclenched them. "As long as we are alive, there is hope. If the houses are destroyed, they can be rebuilt. If the cities are gone, they can be rebuilt. As for Han Yue, if I can save the people, let alone Han Yue, even if I am allowed to go, I will not frown."

"Good good."

Jia Xu's eyes were full of admiration. He thought of the recent days when he saw Wuyun County gradually getting better. People are not plants or trees, so who can be heartless? Even the lives of the people are valued, so what about Jia Wenhe?

But wasn’t he originally looking for stability?

Why are you giving advice to the Lord now?
Forget it, forget it. Only when the master is safe can he, Jia Wenhe, be safe.

It's not a plan for the Lord, it's just to protect myself.

Thinking of this, Jia Xu felt his shoulders lighten. "But."

Jia Xu suddenly thought of someone and felt uneasy.

Liu Bei asked with concern, "What happened to Wenhe?"

"Master, there is a variable."

"Who?"

"Captain of the Qiang Guard, if Leng Zheng thinks of the worst, the Qiang Rebellion may come early."

Liu Bei was quite open-minded. He consoled him, "Wenhe, it's okay. If the enemy comes, we will stop them. If the water comes, we will block it. If the Qiang arrives early, I can just go out and fight them myself. Don't they want famous people and fame? Who can beat me in occupying Jincheng?"

"."

Jia Xu looked at Liu Bei deeply and thought, My Lord, this is not something to be proud of.
But when I think of Liu Bei's character, it is indeed something this man can do.
In the end, Jia Xu didn't say anything, and just let out a sigh.

Taishi Ci, who was standing aside, asked, "Mr. Jia, I want to ask, where is the third brother?"

"You mean Yide?"

Seeing Taishi Ci nodded, Jia Xu added, "This time we all rely on Yide. It was Yide who caught Han Yue's handle and forced Han Yue to cooperate with us!"

Taishi Ci was doubtful. Even though he was alert, he knew very little about Jia Xu. Moreover, he did not feel that there was anything strange about what Jia Xu said just now, so he believed what Jia Xu said for the time being.

"."

Liu Bei looked at Jia Xu and said nothing more. Based on his understanding of Jia Xu, Zhang Fei, and Jian Yong, Jia Xu must have spread the credit among them. So, just pretend that he knew nothing. Sometimes, you have to pretend to be confused.

"Wenhe, we will take our leave and go get ready."

After Liu Bei and Taishi Ci said goodbye to Jia Xu.

Jia Xu's wife came out, her face full of curiosity, "My dear, why do I feel that these strategies are not your style?"

"No?" Jia Xu laughed dryly. "Indeed, this is the worst option."

"The worst option? What about the best and middle options?"

"The best strategy is naturally not to come to Jincheng County. As for the middle strategy," Jia Xu said calmly, "it is better to join the Qiang people. Zuochang's military preparations are slack. According to my strategy, with your ability, Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou can be destroyed with a flick of the hand. We will definitely replace them. The governor of Liangzhou is within our reach. In just a few years, we can dominate Liangzhou."

"Then why don't you tell the Lord?"

"Why."

Jia Xu's eyes showed mixed emotions. "Because he is Liu Xuande."

Liu Bei hurried back to the county government office, and just as he reached the gate, he felt the atmosphere becoming more and more oppressive. He raised his head, the last rays of sunlight were dying, and the sky was terrifyingly gloomy, as if it would fall down at any time.

"My Lord, is it going to rain?" Taishi Ci said.

Before Liu Bei could respond.

The scout hurriedly ran behind Liu Bei and fell to the ground. He shouted

"Report - Lord, tens of thousands of Qiang and Hu are rushing towards Jincheng!!!"

Liu Bei closed his eyes.

It's not raining.

It's an enemy attack
He opened his eyes suddenly.

"Call the troops and meet the enemy!"
