In Taishi Ci's eyes, Jia Xu was very strange. He appeared in front of people with an old and listless look all day long.

Judging from its appearance alone, it seems harmless to humans and animals.

But after Taishi Ci saw his methods, he realized what a terrifying person was hidden under the disguise.

Under his plan, they won over the vassal state of Liaodong without bloodshed.

The calculations he displayed in it left Taishi Ci, who led troops in battles all day, dumbfounded.

The leaders of the vassal states of Liaodong were very powerful in Liaodong, but in front of Jia Xu, they were like well-behaved children.

If Taishi Ci had not seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed it.

Afterwards, Taishi Ci asked about all this carefully, and Jia Xu just said two words lightly: benefit.

When Taishi Ci asked again, Jia Xu said lazily: "Everything in the world cannot escape the word 'interests'. Once you understand these two words, you will find that everything in the world has a traceable origin."

Taishi Ci looked confused. It was obvious that what Jia Xu said was too profound and beyond his understanding.

Jia Xu said calmly: "If you don't understand, don't think about it anymore. In fact, sometimes it's good not to understand these things. At least you can live a relaxed life."

Jia Xu was a little envious. He lived in conspiracy and calculation all day long. Even in his free time, he did not dare to relax at all.

There is no such thing as a fortune teller in this world, no such thing as someone who can understand people's hearts. Everything is the result of day and night deduction.

I don’t know if he didn’t get enough rest yesterday or the weather was too cold, but today Jia Xu stayed in the room full of fireplaces and didn’t take a step out.

As soon as Taishi Ci walked into his room, he instantly felt hot all over.

Jia Xu was fiddling with the fire, and the sound was a little vague.

"This season is spring. If you are in Luoyang City, with the spring breeze blowing and the flowers blooming, it must be very refreshing.

But now when I come to this place, it is freezing cold when it rains a little bit, and I can’t help but shiver.”

He had been in Xiliang for many years and thought he had adapted to the cold and windy weather. However, when he arrived in Liaodong, he realized that the icy wind still made him feel cold all over.

Taishi Ci said, "It's sunny outside. Wenhe, maybe it will be warmer if you go out for a walk."

"I'm old, and can't stand the wind and rain. It's good to stay in this room. At least I don't have to endure the bone-chilling cold." Jia Xu said lightly, without stopping the movements of his hands.

Taishi Ci looked at the few strands of white hair on Jia Xu's head, feeling somewhat helpless. Although Jia Xu kept saying that he was old, from the fleeting look in his eyes, Taishi Ci clearly felt that this man should not be too old.

At least he didn't walk unsteadily and look old as Jia Xu showed.

Taishi Ci knew his character and naturally didn't want to discuss his age any further, so he turned the topic back to business.

"Wenhe, why did you ask me to come here today? Is there something important?"

Jia Xu continued to stir the fire and said calmly: "My lord, you first defeated Yuan Shao at Guandu and then defeated Yuan Shao at Cangting. These two battles wiped out Yuan Shao's elite troops. The next step is naturally to attack Yuan Shao.

Our lord has been preventing us from taking any action because of today's situation. Tomorrow you will take a thousand people to Yangle.

At the hour of Yin, rockets will be fired into the city. I have already had people secretly place stone paint in the city, and once the rockets arrive, Yangle will be engulfed in a sea of ​​fire.

When the fire is almost done, lead your men to attack and make sure to defeat those defenders.

Once Yangle was broken, Liaoxi would not be able to organize a strong military force in a short period of time.

We can then occupy western Liaoning and eye Youbeiping and Yuyang."

Taishi Ci was not surprised by Jia Xu's strategy. Shooting rockets into the city while everyone was asleep could indeed kill the enemy to the greatest extent possible, but the people living in the city would inevitably be affected.

Jia Xu seemed to see the doubt in his heart, and he continued calmly: "When placing the stone paint, I had people distinguish between the military camp and the residential area, but since there was a fire, some casualties are inevitable, so you don't have to be sad in secret."

Taishi Ci was startled. He thought he didn't show any expression, so how could Jia Xu see what he was thinking at a glance? This ability to see through people's minds was really terrifying.

"Wenhe, I am not worried about the people. Now that Yuan Xi has returned to Youzhou, we have suddenly occupied Liaoxi. If Yuan Xi sends troops to attack, how should we respond?"

When Jia Xu instigated the rebellion of the vassal state of Liaodong, there was no trouble at all. At least on the surface, Liaodong still belonged to Youzhou and Yuan Shao. But now that he was openly trying to seize Liaoxi, he would inevitably be met with a frenzied counterattack from Yuan Xi.

When coming from Luoyang, Emperor Liu asked Taishi Ci to lead a thousand elite soldiers. After this period of harassment, the thousand elite soldiers suffered few casualties.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Taishi Ci recruited a lot of soldiers, but the number was no more than 3,000.

These three thousand people usually stay scattered and hide in the dark, and Taishi Ci will only gather them together when there is a mission.

There are at least 100,000 Yuan army soldiers left in Youzhou. If we rely on these 3,000 people to confront Yuan army head-on, we will definitely have little chance of winning.

"Don't worry about that. Although Gongsun Zan is dead, there are still many people who were loyal to him. These forces cannot be conquered in a short time. I have sent people to contact them secretly. As long as Yang Le starts a fire, they will surely gather to respond.

Although these people are also in the dark, they have been working in Youzhou for many years and are much stronger than us. As long as they cause chaos, Youzhou will become a boiling pot.

Yuan Xi is a son of an aristocratic family, how much talent can he have? He was able to quell these unrests. Even if the ancestors of the Yuan family appeared in spirit, they would not come to this remote place to attack us. "

"Wenhe has a good plan!"

After hearing this, Taishi Ci felt a little relieved. He saluted Jia Xu and walked out of the house to organize his troops.

Jia Xu fiddled with the fire, and it instantly became a little brighter.

He thought of everything about Gongsun Zan's past, and inexplicably felt a little more emotional.

He looked at the fire, sighed and said, "People, you have to be more open-minded in many cases. If Gongsun Bogui were still alive today, why would I have to work so hard?

Perhaps taking advantage of the Battle of Guandu, Youzhou may return to Gongsun Bogui's hands."

Gongsun Zan has been operating in Youzhou for many years and has a deep foundation. If he were still alive, with his prestige, he would surely have the support of many people. By that time, let alone occupying Youzhou, he would probably have already deployed troops in Jizhou and intimidated Yecheng.

Unfortunately, there is no turning back and no regret medicine in this world. No one can stop and can only be carried forward by the situation.
