The Three Kingdoms started from fooling Jia Xu

Chapter 294 You Can Rest Now!

Wake up,
It was already midnight.

Zhang Xiu woke up slowly, his head was a little groggy, he had slept a little bit, looking at the sky outside, it was already pitch black, only the candles flickering in the room.

Wherever she looked, Zhang Xiu frowned, and on the table next to her, Mrs. Zou fell asleep on her stomach, and there was a tray in front of her.

In the tray, there was an earthen pot, which should be boiled soup, and there were two pieces of bread beside it. These were specially prepared by Zou Shi, but he didn't wake himself up.

Zhang Xiu stepped forward, showing a trace of helplessness.

Touching that beautiful face with her fingers, she shook her head and muttered to herself, "You're so stupid."

It was a cold spring night, and she fell asleep just like that.

Thinking about it, Zhang Xiu hugged him around his waist, and the latter suddenly woke up, but the whole person was already hugged, and the masculinity rushed towards his face.

"Ye Liang, why did you fall asleep here!" Zhang Xiu said in a reproachful tone.

Zou bowed her head, a little shy, but it was more of a kind of happiness, and only when she was with this little man, she didn't have to be so restrained.

Putting it on the bed, Zhang Xiu lifted the quilt to cover it.

"You go to bed first, you haven't been back for a long time, I'll go out and tell them by the way, so as not to worry them." Zhang Xiu covered the quilt and said softly.

Zou nodded instinctively, but in the next second she blushed again, and said in a low voice: "Well, if Yuan Ying and the others ask you when you came back, just say evening..."

"Why?" Zhang Xiu was curious.

"If you tell me what you want to say, if you let them know that you will be back at noon, they will definitely suspect that you are..., when the time comes..." Zou's cheeks turned red,
Zhang Xiu chuckled slightly, then nodded solemnly, and at the same time said solemnly: "Don't worry, one day I will let you become the king's woman in a fair manner."

After speaking, Zhang Xiu left the room.

In the room, Zou was stunned for a long time.

"Be his woman?" Zou muttered to himself with sour eyes, but he was a little moved in his heart. Just such a promise, Zou was already moved.

……

The next day, early morning.

Zhang Xiu simply washed up and went out.

Jingzhou was full of dangers, and he had to make preparations to deal with Yuan Shao in Hebei. Although Yuan Shao was worthy of the military, his status gave him a lot of points.

And he also wanted to know what Jia Xu's intention was for letting him hide and return to the city.

After a while, in the prime minister's mansion.

Zhang Xiu thought he had come very early, but Jia Xu, Chen Qun and Lu Su arrived early.These three people are currently the three people Zhang Xiu relies on most in Jingzhou.

Except for them, such as Zhang Zhao, Yi Ji, Ma's family, Cai's family, etc., they were not allowed to enter the top secret. It's not that they don't trust them, mainly because their families have serious influence.

"Welcome to the triumphant return of the lord!"

Several people laughed lightly, bowed and said from their hearts.

Before Zhang Xiu insisted on attacking Jiaozhou, they tried to dissuade them many times, they all thought that they could not go to fight Jiaozhou, after all the distance was far away and it would not be easy to capture in a short time.

But in just three or four months, Zhang Xiu pacified Jiaozhou. You must know that this included the round trip. This time was so fast that not many people dared to believe it.

"There is no need to be too polite," Zhang Xiu waved his hand, taking the first place, looked at Jia Xu, and said in a deep voice, "Wen He, I read in your letter that you asked me to hide and return to the city. What does that mean?"

"Hehe, my lord, there are two reasons for letting you hide and return to the city."

"First, now that Yuan Shao has eliminated Gongsun Zan, Jingzhou will follow me. However, he has just stabilized Youzhou, and the localities are still unstable. We should show weakness and lure him to go south as soon as possible."

"Yuan Shao owns half of the land in the world. If the lord returns home with great fanfare, I'm afraid it will make him fearful. In this case, he will definitely rest and recuperate before going south."

"On the contrary, Youzhou has just settled down, so it is not suitable to use troops, and Bingzhou is sparsely populated, and even the Huns gather, so they cannot provide strong support."

"The Yellow Turban Rebellion in Qingzhou has been raging for several years, and the two states of Yan and Yu in the Central Plains have long been dilapidated. The only thing they can rely on is the fertile land of Jizhou. The available soldiers are only 20."

"But if you let him cultivate for a while, then he will occupy half of the world, and the number of people will be nearly twice that of ours. In this way, within three years, the gap between the Lord and him will be even greater."

Jia Xu looked dignified and said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Zhang Xiu also frowned slightly, what Jia Xu said was not bad, Yuan Shao already had half of the land in the world, and he also had the blessing of status.

If he is not induced to go south, I am afraid that he will be the one to worry about in three years. Now that Yuan Shao can mobilize an army of more than 50, it will not be difficult for him to mobilize an army of [-] in three years.

Nodding slightly, Zhang Xiu agreed.

Only when he was not in Jingzhou, Yuan Shao would go south without waiting for his strength to recover.

"Secondly, the Yuan family is of the fourth generation and the third lord. The families inside and outside Jingzhou are already ready to move. When Yuan Shao goes south, they are so flattering and dedicated. This is an internal worry."

"However, these aristocratic families are very large, and it is difficult to eradicate these people by ordinary means. If they are forcibly eradicated, it will inevitably lead to stronger resistance, which is unwise."

"The only way to let these people reveal their secrets, and they can still eradicate their family power in one fell swoop, is treason. Therefore, these people must not be reconciled if the lord has not returned."

"At that time, as long as these people are treasonous and collaborating with the enemy, the Lord can order the emperor to punish their nine clans, and slaughter these black sheep in one fell swoop, so as to calm internal worries."

"Only in this way can the lord be able to stabilize the rear, fight Yuan Shao to the death, and determine the hegemony of the world." Jia Xu said, clasping his fists to show his dignity.

"Haha, well said, with Jia Wenhe's help, why should I worry about my success?" Zhang Xiu said loudly, he had only thought about it before, but Jia Xu listed it all.

So delicate, he has even clearly studied the opponent's psychology, subdued the arrangement of the aristocratic family's movements, and wanted to kill him in one fell swoop.
Who doesn't love such a poisonous person?
"Then what should I do now?" Zhang Xiu asked curiously.

"Hehe, since the lord wants to pacify Jiaozhou, he will naturally need to rest for a while. During this time, the lord can rest in peace and rest, and leave other things to me."

Jia Xu bowed and said with a light smile, recently Zhang Xiu's greatest use is to hide, only if Zhang Xiu doesn't show up, can these people show their feet, and Yuan Shao can make Yuan Shao underestimate the enemy.

"Rest?" Zhang Xiu was stunned.

Damn, I came back to work to defeat the enemy, how can I rest?I ran back to rest specially, what does this look like?Do you still look like the lord of a state?
Zhang Xiu was filled with righteous indignation, and he had already made an oath in his heart that after returning home, he would start studying various military books, political law, mahjong, bah!
"That's right, after my lord goes back, I just need to rest in peace." Jia Xu said with certainty.

"Then, what about Zhuge Liang, where is Huang Zhong? Do you need to tell me?" Zhang Xiu asked suspiciously.

"No need, the news of the lord's return can only be known to me and a few others. As for the lord's mansion, we also need to beware of the eyeliner of the aristocratic family." Jia Xu warned.

"Forget it," Zhang Xiu waved his hand and didn't bother to ask.

"Oh, by the way, before I went out to fight, how did the training of those common people go?" Zhang Xiu suddenly remembered and asked.

"Hehe, the method created by the lord is peerless. I am afraid that there is no one in the world who can compare with the lord." Lu Su who spoke was a little emotional.

Leaving aside the pinyin literacy method, the addition, subtraction, multiplication and division rules are also amazing. Even for them, they have benefited a lot and learned a lot.

"My lord, you don't know that even if the letter is conveyed in pinyin, even if it is robbed by other princes, they will not understand the content at all. And the first spelling of pinyin is too powerful."

Chen Qun also had some admiration and agreed.

"Don't worry, my lord, these two laws are too powerful. All those who learn will send someone from the Yan family to advise them to try not to leak them out. In addition, the second training session has already begun."

"At that time, I should no longer lack officials in Jingzhou." Jia Xu explained.

"That's good!" Zhang Xiu squeezed his chin and nodded.

He had just had an idea before, and he didn't think so much. Now it seems that his approach is successful, at least it solves some problems.

Then, several people discussed together,
After a long time, Zhang Xiu had no choice but to leave.

Because they are going to greet themselves, that is called helplessness.

On the way back to the mansion, Zhang Xiu sent someone to pick up the mahjong that had been made before. It happened to be free during this time, playing mahjong and fishing with his wives and concubines, it was very good.

As for the art of war, ahem, playing mahjong and fishing is the process of learning the art of war.

…………

Jizhou, Yecheng.

At this time, the government will be located.

In the hall, there are countless scribes and generals, including many well-known scribes, and the military generals are mainly Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Zhang He Gaolan.

To be honest, these people are not weak.

In the hall, the atmosphere is dignified.

Yuan Shao was looking at the letter that Xu You handed over just now, while the rest of the civil and military officials looked at it expectantly. At present, Yuan Shao's rule of the world is almost certain.

After a long time, Yuan Shao raised his eyebrows and asked with hesitant eyes: "Ziyuan, you said in your letter that Jia Xu deliberately bombarded Zhang Xiu's return, but in fact he hasn't returned yet."

"Where did you get this letter from? Is it credible?"

"Don't worry, my lord, this letter is absolutely reliable. Think about it, my lord, Xiangyang is thousands of miles away from Jiaozhi, and there are many difficulties in traveling through mountains and rivers. Even if Zhang Xiu is talented, it is impossible for him to return triumphantly in three or four months."

"So, Jia Xu heard that the lord killed Gongsun Zan, and because of Jingzhou's internal troubles, he pretended that Zhang Xiu had returned, but in fact he didn't know where Zhang Xiu was."

"Therefore, You thought that when the dragons in Jingzhou were leaderless and there were internal and external troubles, a large number of troops would be gathered to go south to Jingzhou. As long as Zhangxiu in Jingzhou was captured, then Liu Bei in Guanzhong and Liu Zhang in Yizhou would be nothing to worry about."

Xu You pinched a small goatee and talked confidently.

After the words fell, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

They were also curious at first, because Zhang Xiu didn't show up all the time, but now they suddenly realized what Xu You said, and nodded one after another.

"My lord, what Xu You said makes some sense. At this time, my lord is heading south, so my lord has three chances to win, and Zhang Xiu has three chances to lose." Guo Tu came out with a chuckle.

"Which three wins and three losses?" Yuan Shao was curious.

"First, my lord has just killed Gongsun Zan. At this time, the morale of the three armies is booming, and the soldiers are in full swing. My lord can give an order to lead hundreds of thousands of troops to the south."

"On the contrary, Zhang Xiu's life and death are uncertain, and the soldiers under his command are devoid of morality. It is absolutely impossible to resist. This is a military victory."

"Secondly, the lord is from the fourth generation and the third lord, and his disciples and old officials are all over the world. The aristocratic families from all over Jingzhou have contacted the lord, and the voice of support is very high."

"On the contrary, Zhang Xiu was born in a grassy village in Xiliang. He once offended the aristocratic family. A few years ago, he introduced the two policies of strict orders and appointment of talents, and even pushed the aristocratic family to be the lord. It has long been an internal and external trouble. This is the victory."

"Thirdly, the lord occupies the land of six states in the world, and even owns the old capitals of Luoyang and Xuchang. There are tens of thousands of people under his command, and he is very popular among the people."

"On the other hand, Zhang Xiu has only two states, and the people are not as many as the lord, so they can't be compared at all. Therefore, everyone in the world surrenders to the lord, which is a victory."

"My lord has three victories, and Zhang Xiu has three defeats. Why do you worry about not being able to defeat the enemy? It's just a snap of your fingers." Guo Tu said with a light smile.

"Hehe, good, well said."

"Yan Liang listens to the order, and you lead an army of [-], as the vanguard of the army, immediately set off and rush to Nanyang, there must be no mistake." Yuan Shao glanced and saw Yan Liang.

"No!" Yan Liang was excited.

"My lord, don't do it!" It was Tian Feng who spoke, and he shouted in pain: "My lord, Zhang Xiu used his soldiers like a god, and repeatedly injured Cao Cao twice, how can he be underestimated?"

"What's more, as far as I know, the people under his command also support this person. Compared with the lord, I'm afraid... I'm afraid it's even worse."

"You..." Guo Tu was annoyed.

Such a good opportunity, this guy will not seize it.

"Okay, since you said that, then tell me, what should our army do now?" Yuan Shao said, tall and mighty, with a gray beard.

"My lord, it's too easy to destroy Zhang Xiu. It only takes one point, and Zhang Xiu will collapse without a fight." Tian Feng raised his arrogant head, quite boldly.

"That point?" Yuan Shao was curious.

"The lord sits on the land of six states, so he can cultivate and thrive. After doing this for up to three days, his subordinates will not be able to jump for a long time, and they will definitely collapse."

"Even if it doesn't collapse, there will be a huge difference in strength between him and the lord. At that time, Jingzhou can be easily taken down, and then the court can be revived, and the prestige of a strong man can be restored."

"No matter how bad it is, after several years of development, the lord only needs to hoard the army in Nanyang, Jiujiang, and Lujiang. In this way, Zhang Xiu can only cope. In less than a year and a half, the lord will definitely defeat Zhang Xiu."

Tian Feng bowed and explained very sincerely.

He asked himself, it would not be a good thing to send troops to Jingzhou right after taking Youzhou. Although they won the battle, these people have not fought any tough battles after all, so they are bound to lose again.

"Replenish your energy? Wait and see what happens?"

Yuan Shao frowned slightly, and Fox questioned.

To be honest, he doesn't want to recharge his energy. He is nearly fifty years old, and it may be too late if he doesn't rule the world. According to Tian Feng, he still needs several years.

"Hmph, what a joke, Zhang Xiu's life and death are unknown now, it's a good opportunity, my lord, don't listen to the villain and miss the opportunity." Guo Tu shook his sleeves and snorted coldly.
