Emperor Road of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 178 The Conversation with the Poisoner
"Hehe, Yu is late, let Mr. Wenhe wait for a long time." Liu Yu strode over and saw Jia Xu and Du Ji who were seated from a distance, oh, and there was a Hu Che'er.

Hearing Liu Yu's voice, all three of them looked back.When Jia Xu heard Liu Yu's words, he even smiled slightly, and said: "General Liu is not too late, and we have just been seated."

"Mr. Wenhe, this place is no better than Nanyang. How did you rest last night?" Liu Yu naturally knelt down and laughed.

Splashing ink did not enter, Jia Xu continued to chuckle and said: "The general is self-effacing, this place is no worse than Nanyang."

The two talked about some common things.The two of them were chatting back and forth like this, not out of politeness, but because they wanted the other party to speak first.After all, whoever speaks first will lose his momentum, which will be more beneficial to the other party.

However, Liu Yu was disappointed. Jia Xu seemed to have forgotten about the alliance.But this also lifted Liu Yu's spirits, and felt that such a performance was worthy of the word Jia Xu.If Jia Xu really opened his mouth so easily, he still thinks it's meaningless.

"Sir, I don't know how the situation in Nanyang is?" Liu Yu drank his saliva to moisten his throat, and said with a smile at the corner of his mouth again.

Jia Xu is still like an ordinary scholar, no, it should be said that he is like a poor scholar, downcast and old.Uh, the term “lost scholar” was only coined in the Tang Dynasty.But if you look closely at his eyes, you will find that his eyes are as deep as stars, and occasionally flashes of light let you know that he is extraordinary.

He naturally knew what Liu Yu meant, but he still pretended not to know, and replied with a light smile: "If you lean against Jingzhou, you don't lack food and clothing; if you face Xudu, Nanyang is good."

This sentence is not simple, and others may not understand it, thinking that Jia Xu is saying that Nanyang's geographical location is superior, or that the people of Nanyang have no worries about food and clothing.But Liu Yu could understand, after all, after such a long time of tempering, he was no longer the new self.

After a little thought, Liu Yu knew the meaning of Jia Xu's words.His first sentence was nothing more than saying that Nanyang and Jingzhou have a very good relationship, and Jingzhou can be regarded as the backing of Nanyang, providing food and clothing for Nanyang.In fact, Jia Xu's words are not credible, Zhang Xiu is indeed attached to Liu Biao, but now that the tail is too big, Liu Biao is starting to be wary of him, how can he provide him with food and clothing?Even if it was provided, I am afraid that the price Zhang Xiu paid for it was not small.

As for the second sentence, it is even simpler. It is nothing more than that although Zhang Xiu was attacked by Cao Cao, the situation is not bad, so don't worry.This sentence was not false, Cao Ren used one against two, he had to deal with both Zhang Xiu and Ji Ling, and he really didn't have the energy to hit Zhang Xiu harder.

"Jingzhou is someone else's Jingzhou after all, and Xudu is the emperor's Xudu after all." Not to be outdone, Liu Yu immediately replied calmly.

Jia Xu's eyes lit up when he heard this, but he returned to normal in an instant, but he secretly praised it in his heart.

This Liu Yu is really not simple, one leaf knows the autumn, one other person, one emperor, has exposed my words.

"The vastness of Kyushu is full of kingdoms, and Nanyang is no exception." Jia Xu looked directly at Liu Yu, stroked his beard, and smiled meaningfully.

Liu Yu's face changed slightly when he heard this, secretly thinking that Jia Xu wanted to surrender to Cao Cao?That's what he did in history, but now that he really does, I can't stop Cao Cao at all!

"Sir, you and I don't have to play charades. Since General Zhang asked Mr. to come, he naturally intended to ally with me, and he had no intention of surrendering to Cao Cao. I know that Mr. Persuasion, General Zhang will definitely surrender to Cao Cao, but General Zhang trusts Mr. so much, I believe that Mister will not disappoint him." Liu Yu stopped playing charades and said directly to Jia Xu.

Seeing Liu Yu's generosity, Jia Xu sighed again in his heart, secretly thinking that this person is really brave.His admiration is not fake, not everyone who encounters this situation can just say it directly without caring.Like the battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao couldn't say that Tian Feng was not good enough, so he became angry and imprisoned Qi.

"That's right, Mr. Wen He, we don't need to play charades, let's talk about it directly." Before Jia Xu could speak, Du Ji who was beside him suddenly interrupted.

But Du Ji just said a word, Jia Xu interrupted him suddenly, and said: "Cao Gong has more than [-] soldiers, and his advisers are like a cloud, and he even coerces the emperor to command the princes. How confident are you?"

"Cao Cao is a traitor, I have a clothes belt edict; Cao Cao is surrounded by enemies, how dare he drive more soldiers south? Besides, Yanzhou is short of food, Cao Cao will soon levy, you and my two families just need to delay it. Mr. Wenhe, what do you think? How?" Liu Yu was not annoyed, he stared at Jia Xu, and smiled vigorously.

Surprised, even more surprised than before.Jia Xu really didn't expect Liu Yu to have such insight.He thought about it carefully, and found that Liu Yu was right. If he said what he said, he might really be able to resist Cao Cao.

In fact, Zhang Xiu did not surrender to Cao Cao for no reason in history.His military strength is not much worse than Cao Cao's, and he also has a poisonous man Jia Xu, if he can't surrender, he will definitely not surrender.

Jia Xu's persuasion is naturally the main reason, but there are also reasons for the powerful Nanyang gentry.Zhang Xiu is no more than a young general in Guanzhong, he has no family background, and only has soldiers and horses. How can the Nanyang nobles tolerate him?On the contrary, Cao Cao is Sikong, representing the emperor of the Han family.Although Zhang Xiu's tail is too big to lose, the fact that Cao Cao represents the emperor is also the reason why Liu Biao does not support Zhang Xiu very much.

Of course, besides the first point of reliability, Liu Yu's other two points are just fooling around, and Jia Xu thought about it again.It was precisely because of this that he was so surprised by Liu Yu.

"General Liu, Yuan Shao is fighting with Gongsun Zan, and Guanzhong is also in chaos. Duke Cao is very safe now. As for the lack of food, hehe, this is not a problem." Jia Xu lightly stroked his beard and said with a faint smile, "However, the general's first point is correct. At least Cao Cao has no advantage in justice. But I believe the general also knows that righteousness is sometimes useless. Those gentry are as cunning as foxes, and it only depends on who is stronger."

"At least they don't dare to stand in line at will, we can concentrate on dealing with Cao Cao." Before Liu Yu could speak, Du Ji interrupted again, this time in a cold tone, "And Cao Cao has lost his righteousness, so we can unite with other people, such as Liu Biao and Lu Bu .As the son of my family is a member of the Han clan, I believe Liu Biao will not refuse."

"With Liu Biao's temperament, even if he doesn't refuse, he probably won't support it." Du Ji just finished speaking, and Jia Xu retorted lightly.

Du Ji's expression froze when he heard the words, he also knew what Jia Xu said was true, so he couldn't refute it.

"Okay, let's not talk about it for the time being." Liu Yu also knew that Jia Xu could not be persuaded now, so he said decisively, "Mr. Wenhe hasn't visited Shangcai yet, so I will take him to have a good look today. Hehe, maybe After seeing it, sir, I figured it out."

I made a little joke to liven up the atmosphere, but seeing no one was laughing, Liu Yu coughed and continued: "Let's eat first, and we'll look around in the afternoon."

There was no lunch in the Han generation, but in the end of the Han Dynasty, there was gradually, especially the gentry tyrants.

The situation is not good, it seems that we can only see if Jia Xu can be persuaded in the afternoon!
