In both attempts, he failed to surpass Bai Xiaowen, which was a defeat in terms of intelligence and scheming.
Regardless of Jia Xu's petty thoughts, he was entrusted with important tasks at a critical moment. This is a sign of his magnanimity.
Zhang Xiu asked: "If Duke Yan wants to appoint Mr. Yan, all he needs is an edict. Does sealing this mouth with a sword also have a profound meaning?"
Jia Xu said:
"There are two reasons. First, I was a fugitive and suddenly became an important minister under the command of Duke Yan, so I must have a token of Duke Yan. Generals Zhang Liao and Xu Huang were originally members of Duke Cao's army, and they even recognized the Yitian Sword.
Secondly, most of the generals in Hefei are former members of Duke Yan. As a newly surrendered person, I am the commander-in-chief. It is inevitable that some will disobey and the military orders will be inconsistent, which is also a taboo for military strategists."
Zhang Xiu understood, nodded and said: "So Yan Gong ordered Mr. Yan to hold this sword, just like the Jie Yue of the feudal official."
Jia Xu said: "With this sword, it is equivalent to borrowing Yan Gong's tiger power. No soldier in the three armies dares to disobey. Yan Gong has far-reaching thoughts and broad mind, so I have to obey."
Zhang Xiu suddenly smiled and said: "Isn't it a bit too hasty to entrust him with such a heavy responsibility without having personally met Mr. Yan and without verifying his loyalty? Isn't it a bit too hasty if Mr. Yan has the intention to seek refuge in Soochow?"
Jia Xu laughed and said: "General, if you don't understand Duke Yan, don't you understand me? From my observation, Duke Yan, Cao Cao and I are all the same kind of people. Although Duke Yan entrusted me with the command sword during this trip, but
There must be an ambush just in case. Why does the general think that the female general named Qiao, as a close confidant of Duke Yan, came to Hefei together?"
Zhang Xiu suddenly understood and nodded in agreement.
…
Bai Xiaowen still ordered Zhang He to garrison in Nanzheng, and sent additional reconnaissance cavalry to central Sichuan to detect intelligence. He himself read the Heavenly Book every day.
After listening to Bai Xiaowen's arrangement in the box, Li Shuyi and other teammates felt that it was not very stable.
Li Shuyi said: "It seems that Jia Xu is not a loyal minister. Is it appropriate for you to hand over the power of Hefei to him?"
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said: "Jia Xu will not be loyal to anyone. He only puts self-preservation first in everything. However, he still has certain bottom lines. For example, when he followed Zhang Xiu, he refused Cao Cao's solicitation, saying that Zhang Xiu's
He obeys his advice and cannot bear to give it up. To say the least, even if he does not have this bottom line, I can safely use him in the battle of Hefei."
After a pause, Bai Xiaowen explained:
"First I defeated Ma Chao, and then defeated Zhang Lu. These two battles have made Jia Xu see my strategy clearly. In addition, I have already occupied the Central Plains, and my power is also the strongest in the world! With Jia Xu's wise and wise character, he can only choose
My camp will never sacrifice the big one for the small one to join Sun Wu.
"The main purpose of sending Sister Qiao along this time is to check whether there are any awakened agents infiltrating Hefei City. After all, the Jiangdong Sun Ce we are facing has a top awakened agent under his command.
"Just in case, I gave Sister Qiao a personal edict. If Jia Xu is really unreliable, it will be enough to counterattack."
Suddenly, Bai Xiaowen got a reminder of the rules of the spirit world:
"Jia Xu, the master of poisonous tactics, chooses you as the monarch's assistant. Jia Xu's special skill: the ultimate strategy takes effect."
"Trick: Passive, when using strategies of alienation, bribery, sneak attack, or ambush, the success rate is increased by 25%; when the above types of strategies are successful, the chance of capturing (killing) the enemy leader in the battle is increased by an additional 25%. This
The effect only takes effect when Jia Xu's loyalty is higher than 80 points."
After receiving the news, Bai Xiaowen shook his head, smiled and shared the information with his teammates.
Li Shuyi: "Jia Xu is a rare leader. I thought he was a lord of Xun Yu's level. What does this mean by increasing the success rate of strategies?"
Bai Xiaowen said: "There are two understandings. The first is the improvement of the success rate based on pure luck. For example, when we use an ambush, the enemy's scouts happen to not detect it. The second understanding is the 'intelligence halo', which is used against the enemy.
When these tricks are used, the enemy's IQ will automatically drop by 25%..."
Li Shuyi shook her head and said: "The second possibility is too ridiculous. I am more inclined to the first understanding."
Bai Xiaowen said with a smile: "No matter which one it is, Jia Xu's bonus is powerful enough. It is much more practical than adding a few attributes to me."
Strategies such as alienation, bribery, sneak attacks, and ambushes are all commonly used strategies of strange soldiers, and they complement Xun You's clever strategies.
Bai Xiaowen is now the Duke of Yan, and there are fewer and fewer opportunities for him to go to the battlefield to fight in person. It is more reliable to increase the charm value, luck value, and strategy success rate by adding a few attributes.
It is normal for Jia Xu not to have a lord level, mainly because of his popularity.
On the other hand, Jia Xu is not a royal counselor, but follows a crooked path, so his evaluation in the Three Kingdoms of the Spirit World must be lower than that of Xun Yu.
At this point, Bai Xiaowen suddenly slapped the case and said: "No. Calculating the time, Zhang Xiu should have just left Wuguan, far away from Hefei! Jia Xu is loyal to me at this time, and must have disobeyed my order and opened the long box in advance
!This thief..."
Li Shuyi: "... Come on."
Bai Xiaowen showed a smile and said: "We have nothing else to do for the time being, so why not go back to our old job as awakeners, sneak into Xichuan, witness the battle between Liu Bei and Liu Zhang, and also get to know Liu Bei's generals, otherwise
From now on, I won’t be able to find any geographical maps of mountains and rivers.”
In fact, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Bai Xiaowen have all met before. But military advisor Pang Tong and the newly conquered Huang Zhong and Wei Yan have not met yet.
"Okay, I'll go with you." Li Shuyi said.
Cecilia and Han Xu were also slightly interested, but they were rejected ruthlessly for a simple reason. Bai Xiaowen still needed the two of them to cover their tracks, lest Zhang He find out that Duke Yan was missing, which would cause trouble.
If you have any military information, you can report it to Cecilia first and contact her through the Raven Messenger.
…
After Liu Bei captured Fushui Pass, he marched straight in and pointed his troops towards Luocheng.
After Liu Quan and other four generals deliberated, Liu Quan was left behind, Zhang Ren stayed in the city, and Lingbao and Deng Xian moved forward with their troops, each setting up a camp to serve as horns to resist Liu Bei.
Huang Zhong and Wei Yan were eager to make contributions and almost staged a wave of all-out martial arts. Liu Bei then sent two generals, each leading an army, to attack the two camps respectively.
Although there were some twists and turns during the period, the final result was that two camps were captured, Deng Xian was killed, and Lingbao was captured alive.
Both Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi witnessed this process with their own eyes. Unfortunately, they had no chance to kill Huang Zhong or Wei Yan in a sneak attack. These two lord-level generals were very resistant to fighting, let alone their trusted generals and large armies.
Liu Bei used the method of benevolence and immediately ordered Lingbao to be released, and then advanced to Luocheng.
