Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty-Three Jia Xu Three Steps
Chapter 523: Jia Xu takes three steps
Liu Cen frowned. When he came, he thought of many ways to talk, but he never thought that Li Jue would be so rude.
"explain."
Li Jue's brows furrowed even more tightly. He had already told him not to do stupid things, but he didn't expect this kid to do this again.
"Now Yuan Shu will capture Xuzhou immediately. By then, he will have the land of Youzhou, Jizhou, Qingzhou, Bingzhou and Xuzhou, and his next step will definitely be to attack Yanzhou.
My lord has just settled in Yanzhou to face Yuan Shu's army, and he thinks it is difficult to resist, so he asked me to rush to Chang'an, hoping that several generals can send troops to help us fight against Yuan Shu."
What Liu Cen said was well-organized and very provocative.
"Haha, your lord made a good plan. He borrowed our troops to fight against Yuan Shu. Then your lord will be able to capture Yanzhou without any effort. After Yanzhou is stabilized, I'm afraid the next step is to attack Yuzhou.
Then let’s take advantage of the situation and capture Chang’an.”
Jia Xu sneered at the side for a while, and then opened his mouth to retort to Liu Cen.
"This must be Zuo Fengyi and Jia Wenhe. My lord told me when he came here that he has great knowledge and is a famous wise man in the world today."
Seeing Jia Xu speak, Liu Cen's heart skipped a beat. Chen Gong had told him when he came that Li Jue and Guo Si were easy to deal with, but Jia Xu was a difficult person. If he was not dealt with, it would be impossible to succeed.
.
"No need to flatter me, I just want to know if your master has this idea."
Jia Xu didn't listen to Liu Cen's compliments at all, and still looked at Liu Cen with a cold face.
"Zuo Fengyi's words are serious. After Yuan Shu captures Yanzhou, his next step will definitely be to march westward, first to Yuzhou and then to Yongzhou. By then, even if a few generals have strong soldiers and horses, they will be unable to resist if they want to.
As the saying goes, as long as my lord can keep Yanzhou, Yanzhou will be the barrier to the east of Yongzhou. As long as Yanzhou is not destroyed, Yongzhou will be safe and sound."
Liu Cen knew that Jia Xu was difficult to deal with, so he quickly spoke.
"Huh, so what if we agree to send troops?
Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses are strong and it is difficult to resist."
Jia Xu shook his head and said something depressing at the same time.
"Zuo Fengyi, don't worry about this. My lord has contacted various princes, including Liu Jingsheng in Jingzhou, Yuan Gongluo in Nanyang, Chen Wen in Yangzhou, Ma Teng and Han Sui in Xiliang, and Marquis Lu Fengxian of Wen who has left Jingzhou, and they have all agreed.
Join us to fight against Yuan Shu. If a few generals can send troops, it will be even more powerful."
After hearing Jia Xu's words, Liu Cen's face immediately changed. There was a way.
After Liu Cen finished speaking, Jia Xu smiled slightly. Everything he wanted to know was already clear, so he winked at Li Jue, who was in the first place, and the latter also nodded knowingly.
"Liu Cen, we need to discuss such a big matter for a while before we can make a decision. Come and arrange for the envoy to go down and rest."
After hearing Li Jue's words, Liu Cen also knew that this matter could not be rushed. After bowing, he followed Li Jue's guards and left the hall.
"Wen He, so many princes have sent troops. It seems that it will be easy for Liu Bei to protect Yanzhou this time. What should we do?
Send troops or just sit back and watch."
After Liu Cen left, Li Jue glanced at Jia Xu aside.
"General, what Liu Cen said is mixed between truth and falsehood. Lu Bu's servant with the third surname is now without a fixed residence. As long as Liu Bei is willing to provide a county for him to cultivate, he will naturally not refuse to go there happily.
As for Liu Jingsheng and Yuan Gongluo, they are not easy to deal with. They will never agree to send troops easily. At most, they will just sit back and watch. If the situation is good, they will definitely send troops to get a share of the pie. But once the battle situation is unfavorable, they will never send troops.
The same is true for Chen Wen and Cao Cao in Yangzhou, so Liu Bei is definitely unable to protect himself now."
Jia Xu was not as easy to deceive as Lu Bu and Li Jue. As soon as he spoke, Jia Xu knew that he was just bluffing.
"What should we do?
Are we really just sitting back and waiting for death, as that Liu Cen said, if Yuan Shu captures Yanzhou and then marches westward to attack us?"
Guo Si frowned at the side. Although he was also afraid of Yuan Shu, as Liu Cen said, Yanzhou and Yongzhou are now one and the same. As the saying goes, to protect Yanzhou is to protect themselves.
"Haha, it depends on us."
Compared with the frowns of Guo Si, Li Jue and others, Jia Xu still had a plan in mind.
"What to say, tell me quickly."
Fan Chou looked at Jia Xu with anxious eyes.
"Actually, it's just a few steps. First, send envoys to Xiliang immediately, explain to Ma Teng and Han Sui that they will send troops to help Liu, and then explain to them the great relationship. As long as they send troops to merge the state, after they capture the merger, they will become Liangzhou.
Mu, one of them is Bingzhou Mu. With the greed of the two of them, they will definitely trample Bingzhou.
Secondly, we secretly sent people to Jingzhou and told Liu Jingsheng and Yuan Shu that we would send troops to help and invite them to rescue Liu Bei together. However, the people sent must do it openly and secretly. After the message is conveyed, they will be killed.
Will give Yuan Shu the handle,
If Cao Cao and Chen Wen in Yangzhou knew that Yuan Shu's attack on Yanzhou was unfavorable, they would definitely jump out and attack Xuzhou. Yuan Shu would probably be beaten back to Qingzhou.
Finally, there was an edict, making Liu Bei the Mu of Yanzhou, Zhu Jun the Wei of Yanzhou, and taking charge of Yanzhou with Duke Liu Bei.
Zhu Jun did not dare to disobey the imperial edict after receiving it, so he would definitely lead his elite troops to station in Yanzhou, thus defeating an enemy and strengthening Liu Bei's power against Yuan Shu."
Hearing Jia Xu's three-step move, Li Jue, Guo Si and others all had happy faces. They had never thought that sometimes you don't need to use a knife or a gun to do something, but you can control a group of princes with just your words.
It was so refreshing.
"Well, Jia Xu is indeed very resourceful. I believe that with so many princes participating, it will be difficult for Yuan Shu to capture Yanzhou. To say the least, even if he captures Yanzhou, Ma Teng and Han Sui will be the first to be defeated. Come on,
drink wine."
Fan Chou burst into laughter, picked up the big bowl in front of him and drank directly. Although he was sitting in Chang'an, he still couldn't change his old habits. He didn't like the big bowls used by literati and wine nobles, who preferred to be traffickers and soldiers.
"Okay, let's drink. I wish Liu Bei can secure Yanzhou and repel Yuan Shu."
"Here, cheers."
"drink."
Li Jue, Guo Si, and Zhang Ji also lost their worries and started drinking from large bowls.
Jia Xu did not participate. After they had drunkenly, they quietly left the Cavalry General's Mansion.
"Master, I see that the generals are in high spirits, but why are you so sad?"
The servants were confused after seeing Jia Xu.
"It's okay, clouds are always clouds. Even if the sky is full of dark clouds now, it can only cover the sun for a while. Let's go back home."
