Three Kingdoms: The opening incorporates Li Cunxiao

It's like this in Yuzhang, and it's not much better in Cao Ying.

As soon as Cao Jun set up camp along the river, Jia Xu rushed over in a hurry.

He said that he wanted to make suggestions for Zhang Wu, but in fact he was shirking responsibility and redeeming his merits.

Strictly speaking, Jia Xu is quite pitiful.

He joined Cao Ying's affairs half-heartedly.

According to his wise and self-protective temperament, it is enough for him to offer Cao Cao a plan occasionally, and he will be prosperous and wealthy, and retire peacefully.

However, Cao Cao was a great leader, so there was no reason to let his talent go unused.

Push him directly to the high position of Tingwei.

Tingwei is one of the nine ministers, which can be said to be a truly high and powerful position, but it is a job to offend people.

Not to mention, not long after Jia Xu took office, he was forced by Cao Cao and almost offended all the powerful people in Xuchang.

Now Jia Xu's name has long been synonymous with Feiying's lackey in Xuchang City, and there are many people who want him dead.

If we continue at this pace, it is almost foreseeable that Jia Xu will end up in his later years, and he will definitely die without a burial place.

Now that he had finally escaped from the maelstrom in Xuchang, he made a mistake again in Runan.

According to his plan, Liu Bei should have been fed and accommodated to death, making Liu Bei a strong defense against Jiangdong forces and increasing his leverage to resign as Tingwei.

In fact, the smartest thing Liu Bei could do was to hold his nose and admit it. The most he could do was to write a complaint to Cao Cao. Naturally, everyone would be happy then.

Redirecting directly is the stupidest thing to do.

Liu Bei's foundation was too weak. Even if he teamed up with the surrounding princes to win the battle, he would not be able to share much of the benefits. If the battle is lost and all the princes retreat, Liu Bei will be the only one left to bear Cao Cao's wrath.

It was clearly a low-profit, high-risk job. Even if Jia Xu wanted to break his head, he still wanted to understand why Liu Bei wanted to do it.

But it happened that Liu Bei was not seeking death. Before he died, he dragged Jia Xu into the water.

Now the princes from all over are taking action upon hearing the news, and the war is about to break out.

It's okay to win, but if Zhang Wu fails to live up to expectations, he won't lose the land of Runan County. Liu Bei may not take Xuchang, but will other princes let go of Yuzhou?

When the accountability comes, Hua Xiong won't be able to escape, and Jia Wenhe won't be able to escape unscathed either.

"Champion! Zhang Ziqian! Have you heard my plan? At this time, while Liu Yao of Yangzhou has not moved, it is the best choice to take back Yuzhang with the power of thunder. What are you still hesitating about!"

Zhang Wu knocked on the table like an old monk in meditation:

"Jia Hu, aren't you quite capable when you think you're smart? Now you know you're in a hurry?"

Jia Xu blushed: "Liu Bei is so strange!"

"Hey!~ Do you think that your strategy of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages will not work on anyone? You can recover Yuzhang, but let me ask you a question first,"

Zhang Wu sat up straight and his expression finally became serious:

"If Liu Bei dies, who will guard the Jiangdong forces for my father-in-law? Have you heard of the little overlord Sun Ce? Unfortunately, I have a grudge against him. If we occupy Huainan, we will definitely go down the river and destroy Sun Ce. , otherwise it will always be a hidden danger. The problem is that now we don’t have any navy that is good at fighting!"

Jia Xu was stunned: "Then what do you want?"

Zhang Wu shook his head and pointed at Pang Tong, who was leaning on his side: "It's not what I want. I have left the decision-making before the battle to Shi Yuan, you ask him."

Jia Xu was not happy at that time. Pang Tong was so old that Zhang Wu had the confidence to accompany him to fool around. That was because he was the prime minister's son-in-law. Even if the battle was defeated, it would not be Zhang Wu's turn to take the blame.

But Jia Xu doesn’t have this kind of father-in-law!

"No, Zi Qian, just listen to my advice this time and take Yuzhang quickly. Even if you don't take Huainan first, you have to stop Liu Bei from advancing north. Otherwise, once Liu Yao sends troops, the situation will be unpredictable. "

Pang Tong said: "Mr. Wenhe is a mature and prudent person, but it is difficult to meet the expectations of the king."

"Oh? Ugly boy, if you have any good ideas, please tell me."

Pang Tong was not angry either. Jia Xu mostly taught the art of war and made decisions in the Prime Minister's Mansion. He is half of Zhang Wu's master, but he is not half of Pang Tong's master.

Being teased by his elders, according to Pang Tong's temperament, he would not fall out.

"Unification has no strategy that can be decided upon in one battle. It is better to wait and see for the time being and remain unchanged in the face of all changes."

"Only the Bingzhou line has 15,000 capable cavalry. Why should we stop moving forward?"

"Mr. Wenhe's previous teachings are still in my ears, and Tongtong will not forget them for a moment. Mr. Wenhe said, 'Warriors draw on the trend, follow the trend, and use it against the trend.'"

Pang Tong held down Qing Xiao and stood up, and continued:

"Our army has more cavalry but less infantry. We will inevitably suffer losses when attacking a fortified city. Why not take advantage of the plains around Runan to maximize the advantage of the cavalry in field warfare, so that Liu Bei, who can force himself, will not be able to advance or retreat."

Jia Xu blew his beard angrily and pointed at Zhang Wu: "It's just a Yuzhang. Zhang Ziqian can smash open the gate and take the city with one shot. How about any casualties?"

"Mr. Wenhe's suggestion is all right, but after conquering Yuzhang, the problem raised before still remains. The Huainan counties should be taken or not taken. If they are taken, how to guard against the forces in Jiangdong?"

"It's not like Sun Ce's family is the only one in Jiangdong. In order to facilitate division, it can drag Sun Ce back to the north. No! You are thinking"

Having said this, Jia Xu completely understood.

Suddenly his eyes widened.

Got it, got it all.

It would be too tiring to divide the forces in Jiangdong, so it would be better to divide the coalition forces to attack Cao directly.

As long as the war in Runan lasts long enough and the coalition forces are unable to advance even an inch, the morale of the military will naturally be unstable.

At that time, with the promise of huge profits, they can naturally divide them from within.

At that time, we can use the name of the emperor to allocate Hefei to Liu Biao and Shouchun to Liu Yao.

In this way, the Jiangdong Tigers will naturally have someone to help defend them, and Cao Cao can safely regain Xuzhou and then seek a decisive battle with Yuan Shao.

One battle, and the North is determined!

The premise is to trample Liu Bei to death, or at least cripple Liu Bei.

Since Liu Bei was killed by Liu Bei, he was a traitor, and it would not be enough to establish a great reputation if he did not trample Liu Bei to death.

The problem is that if you play like this, food and grass will be a big problem!

When the army goes to war, eating horses and chewing horses is simply an astronomical sum. Can Xuchang really supply the food and grass consumption for the two fronts?

Once food and grass are out of stock, this is a way to seek death!

Zhang Wu knocked on the table, bringing Jia Xu back to his senses: "Jia Fox, you are the one who started this mess, so don't even think about escaping unscathed. If you win this battle, all the previous ones will be wiped out, and you will have great achievements. This battle If you lose, I don’t need to say much, and my father-in-law will naturally take responsibility. Instead of just being dumbfounded, you should plan carefully. Don’t think about cutting your losses. I, Zhang Wu, will lead the army. Either a big victory or a big defeat. There is no third possibility at all. .”
