Inside and outside Yuzhong City, both the two camps outside the city and the rebels inside the city have stepped up their precautions. Last night, Bian Zhang and his men failed to attack the Han army's camp. Instead, they returned with a heavy defeat. Even Bian Zhang himself
He also lost an arm. This kind of blow was really too big for the rebels.
Bian Zhang's injury was serious and he bled too much, so he had been unconscious since he came back. It was at noon that he gradually woke up. As soon as he woke up, he felt waves of pain coming from his arm.
Feeling the pain, he gnashed his teeth in hatred and cursed loudly: "Gao Fei, I will definitely let you die without a burial place in order to retaliate for my broken arm."
Not long after he finished speaking, Han Sui walked in from the outside and saw Bian Zhang lying on the bed with a pale face. He walked to the bed, sat on the edge of the bed, and said after greetings: "General Bian, your injury is quite serious. You need to be careful."
Take some time to recover and be sure not to get angry?"
It was rare for Bian Zhang to see Han Sui care so much about him, so he smiled and said: "Thank you General Han for your concern. Now the Han army is strong. Dong Zhuo and Bao Hong have gone to attack the Xianling Qiang in Longxi, while Gao Fei, Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Zhou
Shen is stationed outside the city again, and I am so injured that I cannot operate all military affairs, and I have to trouble General Han to take charge of it."
Han Sui said: "This is natural. General Bian can rest assured. As long as I am here, nothing will happen to Yuzhong and even the entire Jincheng County. Now that the Han army has divided its forces and is lacking in strength, it is time for us to make a counterattack.
General Bian, just rest and rest, and leave the rest to me."
"General, we captured a spy outside the city. The spy claimed to have important military information to report to the general!" A soldier came from outside Bian Zhang's room, bowed to Bian Zhang, and said loudly
.
"Spy? Kill! No matter what the military situation is, kill the spy of the Han army..." Bian Zhang wanted to sit up, but as soon as he moved his body, he felt pain, and he yelled out with a grin on his face, interrupting himself.
words.
Han Sui smiled and said: "General Bian, don't be so excited, I will handle it myself. Please take care of yourself, General Bian!"
After the words fell, Han Sui led the people away. As soon as they walked a short distance, Han Sui said to the person behind him: "Take good care of Bian Zhang, and be sure to use the best medicine. As long as his injury can get better."
Han Sui continued to walk forward, but slowly thought in his mind: "Bian Zhang can't die now. Even if he is to die, he will have to die on the battlefield. The Han army has shown its sharpness. It is the time to employ men. Those Qiang and Hu heroes
The commander-in-chief obeys him, but if he dies, then I will not be able to completely control this army."
When he came to the hall, Han Sui saw a very elegantly dressed man standing there, tied up with ropes. He looked at the man, but he had never seen him before, so he walked up to the man and asked: "You
Are you a spy of the Han army?"
That person was none other than Jia Xu. His plan to alienate Gao Fei was to use his own actions to alienate Han Sui and Bian Zhang, so he swaggered to Yuzhong and deliberately let others catch him, in order to avoid being caught.
He killed him, so when he was caught, he claimed to have important military information.
This was the first time Jia Xu met Han Sui. Seeing that although Han Sui was wearing a military uniform, he was also somewhat elegant. He shook his head and smiled slowly: "I am not a spy!"
Han Sui's reputation was well known and far surpassed that of Jia Xu in Liangzhou. When he saw that Jia Xu had no fear and was dressed as a scholar, he sneered and asked, "You said you have important military information?"
, what kind of military information is this? Tell me, and maybe I can spare your life!"
Jia Xu looked at the ropes on his body and said to Han Sui, "General, please loosen my ropes for me?"
Han Sui was startled. Seeing the calm Jia Xu in front of him, he asked: "How dare you be so arrogant when your death is imminent?"
Jia Xu smiled and said: "My Jia Xu, courtesy name Wenhe, was originally hired by Beigong Boyu. He is not a spy of the Han army. After all, I am a rebel like the general. The general will not let me go."
, but you want to kill me, doesn’t it mean that your own people are killing your own people?”
"So you are Jia Xu who followed Gao Fei and escaped from Luodu Valley. Hum, it's a pity that Beigong Boyu is already dead. Otherwise, he will definitely cut you into pieces. But I am a tolerant person.
Man, please tell me what important military information you have, and if I am satisfied, I will let you go."
"The general misunderstood. I did not escape with Gao Fei, but was held hostage by Gao Fei. At that time, I was forced by the situation and had no choice but to do it. Later, I escaped from Gao Fei's hands. Bei Gong Boyu was indiscriminate.
, believing it to be true, they sent people to my house to kill me. In order to survive, I could only hide in the mountains with my clan. It was not until I heard that Beigong Boyu was dead recently that I dared to come out. I know that the general is a wise man, no
They will kill me because of this matter. Now that the Han army is counterattacking and the general is in embarrassment, it is the time to hire people. Those Qiang and Hu are just brave men, and what the general lacks is people who know strategy. I think I still have some strategy.
That’s why I came here to serve the general.”
Han Sui looked at Jia Xu, but he had many doubts in his heart. However, everything Jia Xu said was true. What he lacked was resourceful people. If he had more resourceful people, he would not lose consecutive battles. He carefully said
After sizing up Jia Xu, he asked, "Are you really here to seek refuge with me?"
Jia Xu nodded and said, "If I don't come to seek refuge with the general, why should I show up?"
Han Sui said: "Then first tell me what important military information you have?"
"When I came here, I saw that the Han army had retreated quietly, and in a very secretive manner. I guess the general doesn't know the news yet, right?"
"Is everything you said true?" Han Sui asked in surprise as he had not received any news from the scouts. He had always thought that the Han army was outside the city.
Jia Xu smiled and said: "The general can send scouts to investigate. The current Han army camp is just an empty camp, and the guards are also dummies. If I tell any lies, the general can chop off my head."
Han Sui immediately sent people to find out the news and temporarily imprisoned Jia Xu until the scouts returned before interrogating him again.
After nightfall, the men sent by Han Sui came back to report, and what they said was indeed consistent with Jia Xu's words. Han Sui immediately had Jia Xu released and met with Jia Xu in the hall.
At this time, Jia Xu was still tied up with ropes. As soon as he walked into the hall, he saw a trace of joy on Han Sui's face and shouted: "The general called me here, I don't know why? It's late at night, I
If you are tired and want to rest, even if you are a death row prisoner, you must have a full meal before you die, right?"
When Han Sui heard that Jia Xu was not afraid of death, he immediately burst into laughter, walked to Jia Xu's side, personally untied Jia Xu, and said slowly: "Sir, I misunderstood, how could I kill you? Since you are
Beigong Boyu invited me to do the job, so we are a family. Your husband is not afraid of death. He is indeed my sergeant in Liangzhou. Now our army just lacks counselors like generals. I wonder if your husband can stay and help me?
"
Jia Xu said: "I have already expressed my intention. It's just that you suspected me and refused to use me. Since the general wants to use me now, he must agree to three conditions. I will never let the general down."
.”
As soon as he heard about the terms, Han Sui felt a little unhappy and asked coldly: "What terms?"
"First, I want to live in the best room and have servants to serve me; second, I want two beauties and a box of gold; third, the general must only use me as a counselor. If the general agrees to all three
, then I will tell the general how to defeat the Han army, seize the three auxiliaries, and become the king of Guanzhong." Jia Xu spoke eloquently.
After hearing the first two conditions of Jia Xu, Han Sui felt that Jia Xu was a greedy, lustful person who only enjoyed wealth. However, when he heard the third and following words, he felt that Jia Xu was a bit brazen. He only named Jia Xu.
I once heard from Beigong Boyu that a person who should be unknown in Liangzhou actually spoke so loudly. He sneered three times and immediately asked: "Isn't this too much, sir?"
"Nothing at all. The first and second conditions are to make up for the loss I suffered when I was kidnapped by Gao Fei and misunderstood by Beigong Boyu. As for the third condition, I don't want anyone to become my competitor. The general is a smart man.
If there is a clever counselor like me, there is no need for others. I, Jia Xu, will be able to help the general become the king of Guanzhong."
"Are you serious?" Han Sui has always been worried about his goal of becoming the king of Guanzhong. If Gao Fei hadn't blocked his path in Chencang, he would have occupied the entire Guanzhong by now, and he should have been the king of Guanzhong.
, after listening to Jia Xu’s bold words, although he was a little doubtful, he still decided to give it a try, so he asked.
"Absolutely!" Jia Xu replied resolutely, leaving Han Sui unable to find any flaws in him.
Han Sui thought about it carefully, slapped his thigh, and immediately shouted: "Okay! I promise you, then you must tell me how to become the king of Guanzhong!"
Jia Xu chuckled and said, "What's the hurry? If I tell him now, wouldn't the general kick me away when he finds out? I must fulfill his promise before I tell him.
"
Han Sui said angrily: "Then what do you have to do before you are willing to say it?"
"It's very simple. First fulfill the general's promise and give me three days. After three days, I will definitely tell the general how to become king in Guanzhong."
"You are in my hands now. If after three days, I find out that you are lying to me, then don't blame me for being rude to you."
"Don't worry, I haven't lived enough yet, so how can I ask for death?"
Han Sui immediately ordered people to arrange a room for Jia Xu, and found four maidservants to serve Jia Xu. He also gave Jia Xu two beauties and a box of gold, and sent people to secretly monitor Jia Xu.
After Jia Xu got everything he wanted, he hugged the two beauties and hung out in the room without leaving the door. Food and drink were brought in by the maids, and they could be heard all night long.
The laughter came from inside the room.
The room where Jia Xu was staying was very close to Bian Zhang's room. Bian Zhang was recuperating in the room and needed to rest, but he could always hear the sound of women laughing and cursing. This made him feel very angry, and he couldn't help but lie in bed.
He cursed: "Which maidservant is so ignorant of the rules that she is still laughing in the middle of the night? Go and arrest her, and if she laughs again, I will cut off her tongue."
The person in charge of serving Bian Zhang in the room replied: "General Qi, this person cannot be caught. It is the beauty given to Mr. Jia by General Han. General Han has ordered that no one can harass Mr. Jia without his instructions."
"
"Mr. Jia? Where did Mr. Jia come from? He, Han Sui, is a general, and I am also a general. His orders are orders, and my orders are bullshit? You're not going, are you? Then I'll go!"
Bian Zhang used all his strength to get up from the bed, endured his pain and strode outside. The servants in charge of serving him knew Bian Zhang's temper and did not dare to stop him.
