Xun You made a strong point, and all the counselors agreed. The generals were not intimidated by Ye Feng's fierce force, and were eager to fight to regain their dignity.
Wancheng is located in the south of Sili, surrounded by mountains on all sides. It is the gateway to Luoyang in Zhongzhou. It leads to Chang'an in the west. It has extraordinary strategic significance. Cao Cao has long wanted to conquer it. At this time, the soldiers were holding their breath. It was the right time.
Then he ordered another 50,000 troops to escort grain and grass, hoping to capture Wancheng in one fell swoop, reject Jingxiang in the south, and move toward Guanzhong in the west.
Zhang Xiu welcomed Ye Feng into the city and held a banquet to welcome the wind. During the banquet, there was a middle-aged man in black accompanying him, it was Jia Xu of Xiliang.
This was the first time for Ye Feng to see the real Jia Xu. He saw that he was tall, heavy in appearance, with a square face and white face, a straight nose and a square mouth. He was not gloomy and vicious as expected, but instead made people feel like a resolute and steady national scholar.
Feng is on par with Guo Jia, except that Guo Jia's eyebrows are flying and the tips of his eyebrows are flying upwards, while Jia Xu's eyebrows are smooth and flat, and the tips of his eyebrows are slightly frowned and restrained.
It is said that Jia Xu is the successor of Jia Yi. His great-grandfather was the prefect of Wuwei, his grandfather served as the governor of Yanzhou, and his father attacked Qingqi General. He can be regarded as a family of officials. He has learned the essence of Confucian self-preservation. A gentleman will not stand under a dangerous wall!
In order to protect himself, he instigated Li Jue to succeed, which caused the Han Dynasty to be in danger, the people to be displaced, and he was known as a poisoner. It is said that this was the only thing for which he felt regretful, and it cannot be tested today.
It was his ancestor Jia Yi who had true knowledge and insight. He accomplished all his plans in his life. He was ranked first among the Eight Gentlemen of the Wei and Jin Dynasties for his ability to plan strategies.
When assisting Cao Cao, he focused on attacking Yuan Shao, and Wuchao burned grain to decide the battle; he tried to persuade Cao Cao to attack Wu, but Cao Cao refused to listen, leading to the loss of Chibi; during the confrontation on the Wei River, he designed to alienate Ma Chao and Han Sui, and Xiliang was defeated.
With one word, Cao Pi was confirmed to be the heir apparent. After he ascended the throne, Cao Pi was granted the title of Taiwei, Marquis of Shouxiang, and an additional three hundred cities. He also discouraged Cao Pi from planning to attack Wu, but Cao Pi insisted on going his own way and returned without success.
He died at the age of seventy-seven and was given the posthumous title Suhou.
Protecting yourself and seeking profit is the best in ancient and modern times. Knowing people and cutting off trends is unparalleled in the world!
At that time, celebrities and Confucian scholars were all strategizing and did not want to compete for world supremacy. Otherwise, the Sima family would not be able to succeed.
They greeted each other, because Jia Xu had already served as a minister, Guanglu doctor, and general Xuanyi. Ye Feng then said: "I have admired the minister for a long time and achieved power that no one can do. Now that I meet him today, I will be lucky for the rest of my life!"
He was not close to him, and even vaguely criticized Jia Xu for helping Li Jue bring trouble to the Central Plains, but he did admire his talent.
Jia Xu smiled calmly: "It's just for the sake of his life. On behalf of the marquis, he planned a secluded merger and moved forward to eliminate the great troubles of the alien race. Xu sincerely yearned for it." In order to save his life, Jia Xu pointed out Ye Feng's best achievements.
I flattered him a bit.
Ye Feng admired Jia Xu with all his heart. He bowed again and said, "Sir, your talent is unparalleled in the world. Please give Ye a few words."
Zhang Xiu raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "I can live in peace in Wancheng only with the help of my husband. The present generation is here. The plum blossoms are shining, it's time to drink freely, let's talk about other things."
"please!"
"please!"
…
After singing and having a rest, they found their own place to rest. Only then did Ye Feng call out the Soul-Calling Tower to visit Gao Shun. He felt sad in his heart. Since Gao Shun followed him, he has always been brave and tenacious, with outstanding military exploits and feelings as good as those of his brothers. Unexpectedly,
He died unexpectedly overnight and became this ignorant fighting spirit...
Lu Bu was like this, Gao Shun was like this, Ye Feng suddenly became excited... Could it be that the historical military general would have died at that time? So Yan Liang, Wen Chou only had two years to live?
I also thought that when Cao's army approached the city, it was the beginning of the Battle of Wancheng, and let's look at the results of Dianwei and Cao Ang. I was worried about what to do, and a big stone weighed on my heart, and I lay awake in the middle of the night.
Early the next morning, Zhang Xiu sent someone to invite him, and Ye Feng went with Guo Jia and Yan Liang.
Arriving at the General's Mansion, Zhang Xiu, Jia Xu and others welcomed him in. The guests and hosts were seated separately.
Zhang Xiu said: "Tanma came to report: Cao's army has increased its troops and the army is pressing down on the border! I hope the general can help me and fight to the death with him!"
Ye Feng cupped his hands and said: "General Ye is so kind to you, I will definitely not stay out of it!"
Zhang Xiu felt relieved. Jia Xu had already made suggestions: Cao Cao's army was strong and he was experienced in using troops. He also had the help of Xun You, Cheng Yu and other wise men. It would be extremely difficult to win. Even a small victory would be a tragic victory. The general would definitely ask for the help of Daihou.
, the tens of thousands of fighting souls under his command are enough to serve as one hundred thousand elite soldiers!
Guo Jia sneered and said: "The thief Cao rushed in rashly, why not kill him here!"
Guo Jia was not famous at this time, and everyone was shocked when he heard this. Ye Feng also looked inquiring, and thought to himself: Stop pretending, if you have any clever ideas, tell him immediately, Cao Cao has sent troops outside the city.
Zhang Xiu valued talents very much and obeyed Jia Xu's advice. Seeing that Ye Feng did not interrupt, he realized that this was not an ordinary follower of Ye Feng, but must be a think tank. Although he was suspected of being alarmist, he still handed over his hand and said: "I would like to hear your advice, sir."
"Although the journey from Xudu to Wancheng is not far, the mountain road is difficult to travel, the supply of food and grass is difficult, and the command is inconvenient. With the ability of the general and the help of the gentleman, it will be difficult to determine the outcome of the stalemate."
Zhang Xiu nodded, then sighed and said, "It's just that the area of Wancheng is limited, and the manpower and materials are meager. After a battle, one's vitality will be severely damaged. How can one kill Cao Cao!"
Guo Jia said with a smile: "Although Cao Cao has occupied Zhongzhou and commanded the world in the name of the Emperor, it seems powerful, but in fact it is not the case. The Central Plains is the place where the four battles took place. Now that Cao Cao has come with all his strength, the rear will be empty. I heard that the general and Jingzhou
If Liu Shijun is on good terms, he can send a letter to ask his troops to go out from Jiangxia to attack Xudu, and send another messenger to Hebei Province to ask Yuan Benchu to send troops. If the general entangles Cao's army headquarters, Yuan Benchu and Liu Jingsheng will attack from the north and south, Cao's thieves will be defeated! There will be no death.
Riye!"
Jia Xu's eyes flashed, and he remembered this young man deeply. Then he said slowly with a calm face: "Your Excellency's words are very true, but Liu Jingsheng is the housekeeper... who also has a grudge against the Sun family in Jiangdong.
I don't want to cause more trouble, as for Yuan Benchu..."
Zhang Xiu smiled bitterly and said: "Yuan Benchu originally sent an envoy to make peace with me, but he was repelled by a certain person who destroyed the book."
Jia Xu shook his head slightly and said, "That's okay. I'm just afraid that Yuan Benchu, who has great ambition but few talents, is unwilling to take risks and go deep into the enemy's territory alone."
Guo Jia rolled his eyes helplessly: His understanding of these people is still a bit lacking. Are they all stupid if they don't make a profit?
Jia Xu looked around at the crowd and muttered: "If we take Wancheng to resist Duke Cao, we will lose it if we fight for a long time. My lord is not a man who wants to dominate the world, so why don't you surrender!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Liang took a step forward, drew his long sword out of its sheath with a cang clang, pointed it at Jia Xu, and said angrily: "If you want to trap me, my brother must first ask for my sword!"
Leng Sensen's sword blade flashed with murderous intent. You can surrender, but you, Jia Xu, have no chance of seeing Cao Cao.
Jia Xu remained motionless and said: "Welcoming Duke Cao into the city can protect the ancestral hall and bring peace to the people. Only when we win the battle can we surrender. It cannot be done overnight. I will naturally ask you to leave safely before that."
Ye Feng also didn't expect that Jia Xu had already made up his mind to surrender to Cao Cao, but Zhang Xiu treated him very well and couldn't bear to abandon him. He just kept him and waited to persuade Zhang Xiu to agree.
Zhang Xiu did not refute, obviously he was unsure, Ye Feng said solemnly:
"Why does Wen He value Cao Cao alone?" (To be continued...)
