"Teacher, why did you call me back in such a hurry just for these things? Quite a few words." Qin Tian looked at Jia Xu and asked with a smile. Managing the Southern Barbarians was a strategy he and Jia Xu had long drawn up. Now,
The Southern Barbarians have already conquered, and even the manpower to govern the Southern Barbarians has been prepared. There is no need to rush to find him back for this kind of thing. Jia Xu personally sent someone to inform him that something big must happen.
"That's right." Jia Xu nodded, hesitated for a moment and then said: "Yuan Shu and Cao Cao have ceased war."
"A ceasefire?" Qin Tian looked at Jia Xu in surprise: "Then Cao Cao also agreed?" Qin Tian absolutely believed that as long as Cao Cao was given time, Yuan Shu would be destroyed sooner or later. The fact was just as Qin Tian expected, he had recently
Although he had been in Jiaozhou, the land of the Southern Barbarians, for two years, he never gave up collecting intelligence from the Central Plains. Yuan Shu marched into Yanzhou, and the governor of Yanzhou was forced to give way to Cao Cao. Cao Cao led his elite troops and defeated Yuan Shu with 20,000 troops.
With an army of 300,000, he kept reining in the defeated troops, captured cities and territories, and occupied almost half of Yuzhou. Under such circumstances, would Cao Cao let Yuan Shu go?
"I agreed." Jia Xu nodded and said, "The news has been confirmed. Cao Cao not only stopped fighting with Yuan Shu and made peace, but also returned Yuan Shu to Chen State as a buffer zone for both sides. He only retained the three counties of Chenliu, Pei State, and Liang State in Yuzhou.
place."
"Hiss, there's so much courage. Is there something going on in the north?" Qin Tian took a breath, and then asked, "If you want to talk about the historical trajectory, that's pure nonsense. If that were the case, he wouldn't be the lord of Jiangdong. As for food and grass,
In other words, could one state not be able to supply the food and grass consumed by the 20,000-strong army? The only explanation, or the only thing that worries Cao Cao, is probably the north.
Yanzhou was originally the place of the Four Wars. Although Cao Cao's entire army was wiped out at Hulao Pass, he gained a lot of reputation. At least he had good relations with Tao Qian, Kong Rong and other surrounding princes, so that he would not be attacked from all sides.
"That's right." Jia Xu nodded with a smile and said: "Yijing, the capital of Gongsun Zan in Peking, has been captured by Yuan Shao's general Yan Liang. Gongsun Zan and his whole family committed suicide in the city of Yijing. Yuan Benchu occupied all the territory of Youzhou and was eyeing the merger of the states, gaining momentum.
It is huge; in addition, the Buluo Imperial City in Luoyang also began to station troops in Hangu Pass, Hanoi and other places, eyeing the pass, and in my humble opinion, I am afraid this is the reason why Cao Cao stopped his troops."
"Guanzhong? Ha..." Qin Tian nodded, coercing the emperor to order the princes. This is what Cao Cao did in history, and it laid the foundation for his dominance over the world.
Now there is an imperial city in Luoyang that does not fall. The so-called first-come-first-served by the water and the towers, and the prosperity and prosperity are not Yuan Shao. If he has the ability, he will never ignore this link. If the Han Emperor can be caught in his hands, those who should have been
The forces belonging to Cao Cao will fall into the hands of Buluo Huangcheng. Not to mention anything else, at least the NPC families in Yingchuan will favor Buluo Huangcheng. This is the advantage of orthodoxy. At least they don't have to be like me, just to get a few points.
Personal talent requires a lot of brainpower.
"But what does this have to do with us?" Qin Tian shook his head to get rid of these chaotic thoughts, looked at Jia Xu, and asked doubtfully.
The fighting in the Central Plains is fierce, and it has nothing to do with Qingtian City. If Yizhou is in his hands now, he can still send troops to Yizhou to take advantage of him, but now... Although Yizhou is right in front of him,
However, the war potential of Qingtian City has been exhausted. At least until this area of Yunnan is developed, rash war will only be a waste of national power.
"Of course it is related. Although we cannot compete for the emperor, we can at this last moment ask for something from the man in Chang'an. You must know that the lord is currently the governor of Yangzhou, but he also leads the Nanzhong of Jiangdong, Jiaozhou and Yizhou.
If the name of the land is not correct, then the words will not be correct. At least for now, the remaining power of the Han Dynasty can still be used by me." Jia Xu said with a smile: "If I expected it to be true, after this battle, if I want to get benefits from the imperial court, I will have nothing to lose.
It’s extremely difficult.”….
Jia Xu did not say why it was difficult, but the meaning of his words was clear. Obviously Jia Xu did not think highly of Li Jue and Guo Si in Guanzhong. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty either lost his fortune to prosperity or was gained by Cao Cao like history.
No matter who gets it, it will not be as easy for Qin Tian to ask for official positions or other things from the imperial court.
"What the teacher said makes sense, just do what the teacher said." He glanced at Jia Xu speechlessly. Is this considered using waste? After thinking about it, he said, "But I don't know what kind of official position I want to ask for?"
"Yangzhou Mu cannot give in. In addition, please grant him the title of General of Zhenxi and supervise the military affairs of Jing and Xiang. He will also dedicate one side to the two of them and make Cao Ren, the younger brother of Cao Mengde clan, the governor of Xingyang. This may alleviate the situation in Guanzhong."
Jia Xu said calmly.
"Will Cao Cao agree? This strategy is obviously to sow discord. How could Cao Cao not see through it?" Qin Tian hesitated.
"It's one thing to be able to see through it, but I am sure that Cao Mengde will be called upon. What Cao Mengde lacks now is a legitimate reason to march to Luoyang. You must know that Cao Mengde is not the lord. He must consider the feelings of those wealthy families.
"Buluo Imperial City has a very harmonious relationship with the aristocratic family in the Sili area. Using troops rashly will arouse the resentment of the aristocratic family. Now that we have given him a legitimate reason to march, how can Cao Mengde not accept the call?" Jia Xu decided.
"Poison" Qin Tian raised a thumb and said to Jia Xu, this added fire, no matter who wins the final victory, there will be no winner in this war. Even if Emperor Xian is welcomed, it will still take a long time.
Time to recuperate not only delayed the demise of Li Jue and Guo Si, but also bought time for Qingtian City. A chaotic Central Plains is obviously more beneficial to Qingtian City than a unified Central Plains.
"My lord is full of praise."
"What about us? Do we have anything to do?" Qin Tian asked again. In the future, Nanzhong will mainly focus on development, and it cannot enter the Central Plains. In the next few years, most of the wars Qingtian City will face will still be
Mainly from the Sun, Liu and Yuan families.
"Recruit troops and horses, hoard food and grass, and observe the changes of the times."
"Incisive" Qin Tian praised and said: "The matter of going to Guanzhong will be left to the teacher. I wonder if the teacher has someone to choose?"
"This time Xu plans to go there in person." Jia Xu said.
"What?" Qin Tian was shocked: "How did this happen? The teacher is the brains of Qingtian City, how can he take risks himself? No."
Jia Xu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "To facilitate this, we not only need an eloquent person, but also someone who can be recognized by Li Jue, Guo Si and others."
"Then Li Ru can't do it?" Qin Tian frowned.
Jia Xu shook his head and said: "Li Ru has an urgent talent. If we look at this alone, Li Ru is indeed qualified, but he is not a suitable candidate. Because his reputation in the Xiliang army is too high, if he really goes to Xiliang
, I’m afraid it will be a situation that will never come back. Li Jue and Guo Si will definitely not let him back. Besides, this plan was devised by Xu, so how can he take advantage of others?"
"Do you have to go?" Qin Tian said in a deep voice.
"The lord dominates the industry. Xu must take the risk to seek the greatest benefit for the lord." Jia Xu nodded.
"Since the teacher is going, Qingtian will not stop him." Qin Tian nodded, and then shouted behind him: "Yue Xi"
"The general will be here at the end." Hearing this, Yue Xi quickly came to Qin Tian's side: "Master, what's the matter?"
"Choose two hundred of the most elite guards to accompany you to Chang'an with the teacher. Remember, the safety of the teacher is the top priority in everything," Qin Tian said, looking at Yue Xi seriously.
"General, I will obey your order." Yue Xi nodded fiercely: "I will protect the safety of the military division to the death."
"My lord, General Yuexi and the Suwei camp need to protect our lord's safety, how can we leave without permission?" Jia Xu was shocked and quickly stopped him.
"I am in Jiangdong, what danger can there be? Besides, the teacher is going to Chang'an. It is a long way. The princes in the Central Plains are at war. If there is no one to protect me, how can I rest assured? I can listen to the teacher on everything else, but this is the only one.
You have to listen to me, don’t say anything else,” Qin Tian said decisively…
Seeing that Qin Tian was resolute, Jia Xu no longer tried to shirk the blame. Yue Xi was one of Qin Tian's many generals, and he was very brave. Jia Xu knew very well that it was not a bad thing to have such a person accompanying him for protection. He happily accepted it and said, "So,
Let General Yue Xi go with Xu on this trip, but the two hundred guards are not necessary. The target is too big, and his whereabouts will be easily exposed. Xu plans to go to Yizhou, and he can also take a look at the customs of Yizhou to prepare for the future.
Our army is planning to march into Yizhou."
"That's fine." Qin Tian nodded, turned to look at Yue Xi and said, "Yue Xi, this trip to the north is of great importance. Along the way, the teacher's orders are equivalent to my orders. There must be no mistakes. You can do it."
?”
"Lord, don't worry. Even if Yue Xi risks his life, he will definitely protect the safety of the military advisor." Yue Xi nodded fiercely. Even in Qingtian City, many people only knew about Jia Xu's existence.
He didn't know the details, but as Qin Tian's guard commander, Yue Xi was very aware of Jia Xu's position in Qin Tian's heart and did not dare to neglect him.
Jia Xu said: "My lord, it is better to travel to Chang'an sooner rather than later, for fear of something changing later, Jia Xu will set off now."
"So urgent?" Qin Tian frowned slightly.
"Although Li and Guo are close, they are not inseparable. The Emperor of Han is controlled by both of them at the same time. No matter how close the relationship is, there will be some friction. There are many capable people in the Central Plains. I am worried that someone will take advantage of this to divide the two of them.
"If the two of them turn against each other, even though there are hundreds of thousands of Xiliang troops guarding Chang'an, in Xu's opinion, they can be defeated with a wave of their hands and cannot be ignored." Jia Xu nodded and said.
Qin Tian was silent when he heard this. He knew very well that the possibility of this happening was extremely high. In history, it was because of the rebellion between the two men that hundreds of thousands of Xiliang soldiers collapsed.
"In this case, please be careful along the way, teacher. If something cannot be done, don't force it. Qingtian City can do without any official position, but it cannot live without a teacher," Qin Tian said in a deep voice.
Even though Jia Xu had a cold nature, he couldn't help but feel moved when he heard this. He nodded and said, "Don't worry, my lord, Xu has remembered."
