Rogue master in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 317
Jia Xu nodded and said, "I understand what you mean, Chen Wei. Although we are at a disadvantage compared to Dong Zhuo in terms of military strength, our greatest disadvantage lies in the defense of Chang'an City."

Chen Wei said: "Among the twelve city gates, Dong Zhuo has five gates, but we don't have any. With this alone, we have already lost a lot!"

Jia Xu said: "Dong Zhuo occupies five of the twelve city gates, the most immovable, and needs to be drawn slowly; while Wang Yunhuangfusong's royalists account for four. Although the royalists are gradually weakening, they can starve to death. It is bigger than a horse, and it is difficult to obtain it in a short period of time; as for the three city gates that appear to be under the jurisdiction of Weiwei, but are actually controlled by the Yuan family, it may not be so easy to get at."

Chen Wei is also frowning at this moment, feeling his head is big.

The two pondered for a moment, then Jia Xu suddenly said, "Although we can't annex them all at once, we can divide them."

"How to divide and map it?" Chen Wei asked.

Jia Xu said with a happy face, "Although there are twelve gates in Chang'an City, it's not that the more you occupy, the better, but the most important thing is the right location."

Chen Wei vaguely seemed to have guessed something, and hurriedly asked, "Wen He, tell me quickly."

"We are stationed in Tongguan, and Tongguan is to the east of Chang'an, that is, if our army from Tongguan wants to enter Chang'an, which city gate should be the shortest distance?" Jia Xu asked.

"Naturally the east side!" Chen Wei's eyes lit up, and he finally understood what Jia Xu meant.

"That's right. There are three gates on each of the four walls of Chang'an City, and the east wall is straight. The three gates are all on the east wall. They are Xuanping Gate, Qingming Gate and Bacheng Gate. Among them, Xuanping Gate and Qingming Gate are controlled by In the hands of the Royalist Party, the Bacheng Gate is actually controlled by the Yuan family. We have garrisoned [-] troops in Tongguan. If we occupy the three gates to the east of Chang'an City, we can let the army enter Chang'an City within a day. This is what Dong Zhuo said. What I am most afraid of, otherwise I would not have been able to arrest Dong Juan today, and finally released Dong Juan due to Dong Zhuo's pressure." Jia Xu said.

A look of joy flashed across Chen Wei's eyes: "None of the three city gates in the east are in Dong Zhuo's hands? In this way, this is our greatest advantage. If we can get these three city gates, we will have the opportunity to fight with Dong Zhuo." Capital."

Jia Xu showed a bitter smile and said, "How easy is it to get these three city gates?"

Chen Wei said with a smile: "It's better than fighting with Dong Zhuo, isn't it? And it's a matter of human effort. You said that if you can get Wang Yunhuangfusong to give us these two city gates, and then find a way to take away the Yuan family's Bacheng gate, that's a big deal." Is it possible?"

Jia Xu stroked his beard and pondered for a moment, his eyes lit up, and said: "Now Wang Yun and Huangfusong are doing everything possible to win over you, Chen Wei, this can be used."

Chen Wei smiled knowingly and said: "That's right, I ignored Wang Yun and the others before, just because I was afraid of offending Dong Zhuo and harming us; but now it's different, if we get the three city gates to the east, we will openly break with Dong Zhuo. We also have confidence!"

"Wang Yun and Huang Fusong used Liu Ying to woo Chen Wei twice before, but you rejected both of them. I'm afraid Wang Yun won't come to you again. If we took the initiative to find him, but we were at a disadvantage, it would be bad for future negotiations." Jia Xu worried.

Chen Wei said with a smile: "Last night in Fengming Pavilion, Zi Niang should have guessed that I had seen through last time. It was Huangfusong who ordered her to provoke my relationship with Lu Bu. Maybe she had already told Huangfusong that Huangfusong knew that I had seen through. He will definitely be afraid that I will get angry and have some concerns, if I guess correctly, he will definitely send someone to spy on me in the next two days..."

Jia Xu's eyes showed admiration, and he smiled and said, "Chen Wei, you really are getting more and more thoughtful."

Chen Wei shook his head modestly, and then said: "It's nothing, I'm just worried about what bargaining chip we should give, so that the royalists like Huangfusong are willing to give us the Xuanping Gate and the Qingming Gate."

Jia Xu also nodded solemnly and said: "Sending two of the four city gates of the Royalist faction is equivalent to letting them cut off an arm. I am afraid that even if they intend to win over you, Chen Wei, they will not be willing."

"I don't want to..." Chen Wei frowned in thought. After a long time, he slowly raised his head, squinted his eyes slightly, and said softly: "They don't want me because they don't need me urgently yet, and it's not worth giving up the two city gates. ...Only when they are in danger and have to rely on me..."

Having said that, Chen Wei looked up at Jia Xu.

Jia Xu shook her body, clapped her hands and said, "Yes, find a way to intensify the conflict between Dong Zhuo and Wang Yun!"

"What way?" Chen Wei stood up abruptly.

Jia Xu also had a tense expression on his face, pacing back and forth, then suddenly stood still, and said: "Since Zhu Jun was killed by Lu Bu, the rebel army who was holding back Dong Zhuo's Xiliang soldiers suffered heavy losses, and the strength of Wang Yunhuangfusong against Dong Zhuo has also weakened. Many, and it is also because of this that Dong Zhuo dared to abolish Emperor Shao and set up Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. However, the strength of the rebel army is still there, and it is only because of the loss of the leader Zhu Jun that he temporarily hibernates around Chang'an and has not been dispatched. Dong Zhuo also had scruples and did not send troops to destroy them. "

"If we send someone pretending to be a rebel army to attack Meiwu, and Meiwu is Dong Zhuo's lair, Dong Zhuo will be furious and will definitely send troops to conquer the rebel army. With Dong Zhuo's shrewdness, he will definitely let the general send troops, which can not only wipe out the rebel army, but also consume us. Kill two birds with one stone, Dong Zhuo will never let go of this opportunity. At the beginning, Chen Wei, you pretended not to agree, and finally you were forced to send troops when you had no choice. In this way, neither Dong Zhuo nor Wang Yun would doubt it. And those rebels are Huangfu Song Wangyun's lifeblood had already been damaged by Zhu Jun's vitality. As the general Hu Ben's teacher, Huangfu Song and Wang Yun must be afraid, and they will definitely look for the general secretly. At this time, any bargaining chip can be spread out and placed on the table Talk!" Jia Xu said.

Chen Wei shook his head in admiration, and said: "Getting Wenhe from Xu Rong back then was the greatest gift from heaven to Chen Wei!"

Jia Xu was both surprised and happy, and said with a smile: "To meet a virtuous master like you, Chen Wei, is the heaven's gift to Wenhe."

Chen Wei smiled and said: "Then this matter will be arranged according to what Wen told you. As for pretending to be a rebel army and attacking Meiwu, this is the most critical point. It must be done seamlessly so that Dong Zhuo can believe it."

Jia Xu laughed and said, "General, do you still remember what tricks Dong Zhuo used when he took control of Luoyang?"

Chen Wei was puzzled and asked, "What's the plan?"

Jia Xu stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Back when Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, he only had a few thousand soldiers and horses, but he let the soldiers and horses from the capital steal out of Luoyang secretly at night, and entered Luoyang with great fanfare during the day. Dong Zhuo’s army is powerful, so everyone fears it. Now we have [-] tiger guards stationed outside the city of Chang’an. Because Sun Hou has used all his troops to hunt down the mastermind behind the scenes that Dong Huang said, [-] of them are searching inside the city. , and the remaining [-] were searched outside the city."

"Then we will choose the opposite strategy from Dong Zhuo's." Jia Xu laughed.

"Oh? The opposite strategy?" Chen Wei's eyes lit up.
