Three Kingdoms: Stealing the Tiger Talisman and forcing Yuan Shao to become a monk

Chapter 685 Bingzhou is in urgent need of new troops
Now the tribes of Xianbei have invaded the two prefectures of Yong and Bing with large armies, and the places they pass along the way can be said to be barren of land.

Villages near the border were also burned, killed, and robbed, and the people were also miserable.

At this moment, many fleeing refugees are also pouring into Chang'an in large numbers.

Seeing more and more refugees, Zhang Yun also felt embarrassed at the moment.

For several days in a row, the outer city of Chang'an received nearly ten thousand people.

And this number continues to increase.

Although Chang'an has sufficient food and grass now, it cannot afford such consumption.

If it goes on for a long time, I am afraid that the Xianbei has not yet called, and the city of Chang'an will be in chaos.

In this regard, Zhang Yun also kept sending letters to Yecheng, hoping that there would be an early decision.

However, in the small study in Yecheng, they are extremely busy at the moment.

Jia Xu, Cheng Yu and others have not dared to go home to rest in recent days, and have been silent in the study every day.

The urgent reports sent from the border every day are also piled up as high as a hill on the side of the study.

Even talented people like Jia Xu felt their scalps tingling at the moment.

However, at this moment Cheng Yu opened an urgent report, and his face suddenly became serious.

"Xianbei's attack this time is fierce, and the march is extremely fast. It can be said that it is overwhelming all the way, and it is almost reaching our door." Cheng Yu said angrily while holding the urgent item at hand.

Jia Xu just sighed: "Who says it's not, many cities have been destroyed under the rule of Bingzhou, and they even appeared in Yongzhou."

"The situation is too serious now, we can't continue to defend passively like this." Cheng Yu said.

However, Jia Xu also expressed that he was powerless at this moment, so he said to Cheng Yu.

"Nowadays, the north is also short of troops, and the generals who can lead troops to fight are not here this time. Now it is a bit embarrassing." Jia Xu sighed.

Cheng Yu stood up and said, "If it wasn't for the Wu-Shu alliance, why would the lord have brought all the generals who can fight to Jingzhou. As a result, we have no generals available now."

"It's not my lord's fault. Who would have thought that this barbarian would suddenly attack. Besides, I have received a letter from my lord a few days ago, and now I have brought a large army to help." Jia Xu continued.

"But this far away water can't quench the near thirst. Now that Xianbei is coming in menacingly, if these barbarians are allowed to act like this for a long time, I'm afraid it will cause even greater losses." Cheng Yu sighed.

After listening to Cheng Yu's words, Jia Xu agreed, and said, "The top priority now is to dispatch a powerful force first to hold back these barbarians and buy time for our lord."

Cheng Yu also shook his head and sighed after hearing this: "Basically all the generals who can fight have been dispatched. Who can take on this important task now?"

Jia Xu then said: "I heard that Grandfather Zhong Yao has a son named Zhong Hui who is good at military strategy and proficient in the art of war. He is an outstanding young man in the present age. He should be able to take on this important task."

Cheng Yu said with some doubts: "I have heard of this person, but after all, he is a young general with little combat experience, so I don't know if he can succeed."

Jia Xu said: "There is nothing we can do about it. Now we can only treat it like a dead horse."

Cheng Yu then said: "Oh, that's the only way to go. I don't want this person to defeat Xianbei, but I just hope it can be delayed for a few more days."

Jia Xu then said: "Since Zhong De has no other doubts about this, I am drafting an appointment order based on this book."

Cheng Yu nodded, but suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Wen He, do you want to discuss this matter with Prime Minister Yuan?"

Jia Xu sneered and said, "Zhongde, do you think it's necessary? Since my lord left Yecheng, Prime Minister Yuan has been here for a few days, but I'm not in charge of everything. There's no need to discuss this matter with him." gone."

Cheng Yu was a little worried and said, "But I'm going to decide on such a big matter, I'm afraid it's not right."

Jia Xu then said: "The war is urgent now. If you ask Prime Minister Yuan for instructions, based on my understanding of him, I'm afraid it will be difficult to come up with a decision for a while. It's better for me to do it myself, so as not to delay the battle."

Although Cheng Yu agreed with Jia Xu's point of view, after all, this matter involved quite a lot, and it would be taboo to deploy troops without authorization.

Once blamed, no one will be able to bear it.

So his face was still full of worry.

Jia Xu has already begun to draw up the appointment order at this moment, but he is also thinking about this matter in his heart.

After the appointment order was drafted, he also felt a little unsafe.

Then he said to Cheng Yu: "Zhongde should first write a letter to the lord to inform the current situation. As for the heavy responsibility of appointing and mobilizing the army, I will bear it all by myself."

Cheng Yu frowned slightly and said, "Wen He, you..."

Jia Xu just smiled and said: "Zhongde doesn't have to worry about me. The most he can do is lose his head. I can serve the famous master in this life, so this life is enough."

Cheng Yu originally wanted to say a few more words, but after hearing Jia Xu's remarks about going to death, he couldn't say anything more.

Cheng Yu knew very well that it was a capital crime to deploy troops without authorization, but Jia Xu could face it so calmly, and he could only admire him deeply.

However, there was one person coming at this moment, and when the two saw him, they immediately saluted him.

This person is Xu Shu who was left behind by Yuan Tan in Yecheng.

After Xu Shu arrived, he said to the two of them: "Don't be too polite, both of you. I have heard everything I said just now. When my master left, he told me that in case of emergency, we can do it cheaply. Captain Jia doesn't have to worry about it." , I also think this is feasible.”

"But this is good at regulating and heavy troops..." Cheng Yu still said.

After all, the matter is so big that it cannot be explained simply.

However, Xu Shu took off the token from his waist and said, "This is the order left by my master. If you use this order, you two don't have to worry."

After Jia Xu and Cheng Yu saw the token, they also felt a lot more relaxed.

There is indeed such an order, just like Yuan Tan himself said, so no one will say anything.

Therefore, Jia Xu also thanked Xu Shu at this moment, after all, this act saved his life.

Xu Shu then continued: "The two of you should hurry up and arrange matters. As for the tutor, you don't have to worry about it. I will report it naturally."

Jia Xu and Cheng Yu also thanked Xu Shu.

But when Xu Shu was about to leave, Jia Xu said, "Xu Changshi stay here."

Xu Shu was also surprised and turned around and asked, "Is there anything else, Taiwei Jia?"

Jia Xu then asked: "This time, can Xu Changshi go with us? After all, the young general Xu is still a little worried."

Although Xu Shu's eyes flickered with throbbing, he hid it in an instant.

Therefore, Yuan Tan entrusted him with the task of taking charge of the school affairs office and supervising all officials.

If I go to the battlefield this time, no one will be able to take up this role again.

Therefore, he shook his head and said: "I won't go, let these newcomers show their hands and feet."
