Although Li Jue wanted to find a solution on his own, he really had no choice.
"so what should I do now?"
After hearing Jia Xu's words, Li Jue and others looked at each other, filled with sorrow.
"Now we have only two options. One is to surrender directly. I believe our achievements in handing over Yongzhou are enough for everyone to become an idle rich man. The other is to raise an army to resist. As long as Yuan Shu is dragged into a protracted war, I believe that as time goes by,
He will naturally retreat."
To be honest, Jia Xu is not optimistic about Yuan Shu's attack this time. He is well prepared. There are more than 100,000 troops in Jincheng now. It is really not easy to resist if attacked from two sides.
"What do you think?"
Li Jue glanced at the three people around him. He was also undecided. The glory and wealth he had spent in Chang'an for such a long time had already corrupted him. Now that he was asked to lead an army to resist Yuan Shu, he really couldn't bear to use the sword.
"Let's fight. They're already fighting at the door. Surrender?
What are you thinking about?"
After hearing Li Jue's words, Fan Chou stood up and shouted at Li Jue.
"Well, Fan Chou is right. Since Yuan Shu has already reached his home, surrendering would be out of character for a Xiliang man."
Fan Chou stood up, and Guo Si, who was close to him, also stood up to support Fan Chou's opinion.
"Then fight."
Both of them agreed, and Zhang Ji also stood up. If they had a conflict now, it would be over when Yuan Shu called.
"Okay, since we all agree, let's prepare to send troops."
All three people agreed, and Li Jue could only put aside his thoughts and agreed to send troops.
"Since we are going to fight, we must have a plan. Should we send troops to Sizhou or stick to Yongzhou?"
Zhang Ji glanced at the three of them, his eyes flashing with thoughts.
"Jia Xu, what do you think we should do?"
Li Jue turned his attention to Jia Xu, who was standing in the middle.
"Sending troops to Sizhou is obviously not feasible, but it is also difficult to hold on. After all, Yuan Shu has now occupied Xiliang. If we lead troops to Sizhou to resist Yuan Shu, it is very likely that Zhao Yun will lead troops from Liangzhou to sneak attack Chang'an. It is better to send 50,000 troops
We will garrison Tongguan and the remaining troops will garrison Chang'an. This way we can not only resist Yuan Shu but also be prepared for attacks from Xiliang."
Jia Xu thought for a while and came up with the idea of dividing his troops to garrison.
"If we divide our troops, we won't be able to defend both sides."
When Zhang Ji heard Jia Xu's thoughts, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.
"If Yuan Shu breaks through Tongguan easily, we will have no chance to defend Yongzhou. If he fights with Zhao Yun of Liangzhou, he will definitely win a great victory. By then we will be trapped in Chang'an, and sooner or later we will perish."
Jia Xu shook his head, if he really ignored Sizhou, then Yongzhou would not be able to defend it.
"Well, that's what Jia Xu said, who is willing to go to Tongguan to guard it?"
Li Jue nodded. What Jia Xu said makes sense. It is indeed the case that Chang'an cannot be defended alone.
"I'll go."
Zhang Ji glanced at the three of them, frowned slightly and stood up to take the order.
"You don't have enough troops on your own, Brother Fan Chou, how about you go to Tongguan with Zhang Ji?"
I heard that Zhang Ji was going to go, but he only had 20,000 troops under his command, so it would definitely not be enough to go by himself.
"Well, then I will go to Tongguan Town with Zhang Ji to guard the area."
Fan Chou stood up and nodded to Li Jue.
"Okay, then you two join forces and go to Tongguan, and Guo Si and I will guard Chang'an."
"good."
"I'm going to Tongguan right now."
"Um."
When Li Jue spoke, Guo Si and the others had no objection. They each stood up and clasped their fists, and then left Li Jue's mansion.
"General, if nothing is wrong, Jia Xu will leave."
Seeing the three people leaving, Jia Xu also clasped his fists and wanted to leave.
"Wen He, wait a moment."
Li Jue opened his mouth to call Jia Xu to stop.
"?
?”
When Jia Xu heard Li Jue calling him, he was stunned.
"Wen He, do you think we can stop Yuan Shu this time?"
Li Jue opened his mouth and directly expressed the questions in his heart.
"I don't know this either, but Yuan Shu is coming this time fiercely, and it may be difficult to resist him. I can only say that we have to do our best to obey fate."
What can Jia Xu say now? Could it be that you are weak chickens in front of Yuan Shu. It is impossible to resist them. Go to bed early.
"I see, I understand, Wen He, I have something to ask you to help me with."
After listening to Jia Xu's words, Li Jue also understood what he meant, which was that he couldn't resist.
"General, please tell me something."
Now Jia Xu was even more confused. What did Li Jue want to do?
"Go to Xiliang immediately and contact Zhao Yun over there to see how Yuan Shu will treat me if I want to surrender. If appropriate, I can lead the army to surrender."
Li Jue glanced at Jia Xu and directly expressed his thoughts.
"General, do you want to surrender?"
Jia Xu was stunned at this moment. He had just said righteous words, but now he wants to surrender directly without taking three others with him. You are a real dog.
"Since you are so irresistible, it would be better to surrender neatly. Isn't it true that he who knows the current situation is a hero?"
Li Jue shook his head. He could no longer lift the sword and did not want to fight anymore. It would be better to surrender than to do so.
"I see."
After listening to Li Jue's words, Jia Xu also nodded. If he said this, it would be human nature.
"That's all up to you."
"promise."
Zhang Ji and Fan Chou left with their troops and horses, while Jia Xu also left Chang'an in a light carriage and headed towards Xiliang without anyone knowing.
Time passed day by day, and Yuan Shu and his army finally arrived at Chenliu County where Tian Feng was located.
"Lord."
Seeing Yuan Shu coming, Tian Feng also went out of the city to greet him.
"There's no need for this. I've already said that you don't need these vain things. Who is this?"
Yuan Shu got out of the car and looked at Tian Feng, but his eyes were immediately attracted by a burly man.
"My lord, let me introduce you. This is Taishi Ci, named Ziyi, who was sent by Qingzhou to support you."
Seeing Yuan Shu's eyes being attracted by Tai Shici, Tian Feng's eyes showed the same feeling as if he had known you would feel like this.
"Tai Shi Ci?"
Yuan Shu directly activated the Heavenly Eye Technique. He had not activated it for a long time. He saw a flash of light, and Taishi Ci's purple beam of light shot straight into the sky.
"Ding dong, we found the first-class general Tai Shi Ci."
Looking at the beam of light and hearing the system prompt, Yuan Shu was sure that the person in front of him was none other than Taishi Ziyi, who would later become famous in Jiangdong.
"Taishici, right? Where is he from?"
In line with the principle of not missing something when you find it, Yuan Shu came directly to Tai Shici.
"Sir, Taishi Ci is from Qingzhou and Donghai."
Upon hearing Yuan Shu questioning him, Taishi Ci immediately knelt down on one knee and saluted him.
"Who else is at home?"
Yuan Shu asked again, Taishi Ci was a well-known filial son in ancient and modern times. As long as he could capture his mother, Taishi Ci would not be able to escape his grasp.
"Sir, there is an old mother in Taishi Ci's home."
Taishi Ci quickly answered Yuan Shu's question.
"Order Jushou to immediately send someone to arrange for Taishi Ci's mother to be placed in the capital after receiving the letter."
Yuan Shu's words immediately stunned everyone around him. What the hell is this? You just met someone and you want to put someone's mother in your care?
"Thank you so much, Taishi Ci."
Taishi Ci immediately became excited after hearing Yuan Shu's words. Everyone knew that Xindu was prosperous, but it would be difficult for ordinary people to make a living in Xindu. But now Yuan Shu directly sent someone to pick up his mother. He was so confused.
"It's just a little effort. Ziyi, are you willing to accept me as your master and drive me?"
Looking at the excited Tai Shici, Yuan Shu couldn't help but smile.
"Tai Shi Ci is willing to pay homage to the lord."
Taishi Ci knelt down on his knees, cupped his fists and saluted Yuan Shu.
"Ding dong, congratulations to the host for recovering the famous general Tai Shi Ci, and will be rewarded with 15 prestige points."
"Okay, I'm so lucky to have Ziyi. Get up quickly."
