Reborn in the Three Kingdoms, I stole Liu Bei's uncle

After finishing all the things, Liu Yu still did not relax at all.

He transferred Liu Bei to Chang'an and put him in charge of the defense of the city because he valued Liu Bei's status as a relative of the Han royal family.

At this time, Liu Bei was not at the pinnacle of power, but he still maintained the necessary respect for the Han Dynasty and the emperor.

Liu Yu believed that with Guo Jia's intelligence, he would definitely not try to persuade Liu Bei.

Liu Yu deliberately invited Jia Xu to the study and told him about the adjustments he had just made.

Jia Xu listened quietly, his face calm and expressionless.

Liu Yu felt a little disappointed. His cunning and forbearance still seemed a little immature in front of Jia Xu. It was obviously impossible to see anything unusual on his face.

Jia Xu sat there like an old fox, saying nothing.

There was no other way, Liu Yu could only ask Jia Xu directly for his opinion.

"I made this adjustment for the safety of His Majesty, Wenhe, what do you think?"

Jia Xu raised his head slowly, his eyes cloudy.

"My lord, you have devoted yourself to the safety of the emperor. I really admire you. If everyone was as sincere as you, how could there be so many troubles in this world?

Liu Xuande is a relative of the Han Dynasty and will certainly be able to protect your majesty's safety. As for Xu Zhongkang, he is loyal and brave. The mission entrusted to him by the lord will definitely not go wrong!"

Jia Xu said this very calmly, as if it was a very obvious matter and there was no need for any hesitation.

Liu Yu continued to ask: "Has Fengxiao received any letters these days?"

Jia Xu took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Liu Yu.

"Feng Xiao did receive a letter. I guess the lord asked him to recuperate in Jingzhou, and he was a little bored. These letters are all about daily trivial matters."

Liu Yu received the letter, read it through, and found that it was just as Jia Xu said. Every detail was written to Jia Xu in detail.

Liu Yu handed the letter to Jia Xu and said with a smile: "Feng Xiao's lifelong ambition is to see the revival of the Han Dynasty. If he is not physically unable to withstand the ordeal, he should really be brought to Nanzheng."

Jia Xu smiled bitterly and said, “My lord, it is not wrong not to let Fengxiao come.

The weather in Nanzheng is too dry and windy. It's only August and the mornings and evenings are already extremely cold.

My old bones are almost broken by this kind of weather. If Feng Xiao really comes here, it will do more harm than good to his sick body."

After saying this, Jia Xu coughed twice, picked up a cup of tea and took a sip before stopping.

He seemed unwilling to dwell on this issue for too long and changed the subject in time.

"In the past few days, war reports have been coming from all directions. Cao Cao has retreated to Yizhou from the old road of Chencang just as the lord expected. Before the group arrived in Yizhou, they ordered the soldiers to close the pass and prepare for battle. It seems that he is ready to defend the pass and fight a war of attrition with us!"

"Cao Cao is good at using troops and is defending himself. I am not surprised by this. Once the generals have reorganized their soldiers, they can send troops to attack Yizhou."

Seeing Liu Yu's confident look, Jia Xu couldn't help but ask: "My lord, do you have a plan in mind for conquering Yizhou?"

Liu Yu recalled the historical route of Wei's expedition to conquer Shu and expressed this idea.

When Jia Xu heard this, clarity appeared in his confused eyes for the first time.

"It is a brilliant plan to combine the positive and the odd, and the real and the fake. If my prediction is correct, Yizhou will be pacified soon."

With Jia Xu's approval, Liu Yu became more confident about this strategy.

For the next period of time, Nanzheng was peaceful and calm. Liu Yu stayed in his study every day, receiving news from all directions.

A piece of news from Liangzhou soon caught his attention.

After Ma Teng and Han Sui had gone through an inner struggle, Han Sui finally couldn't bear it anymore.

On a dark and windy night, he took advantage of the cover of darkness and led his army to raid Ma Teng's camp like a ghost.

Ma Teng was caught off guard, and the camp instantly fell into chaos and fire.

Although Ma Teng fought hard, Han Sui was more powerful and well prepared. After a fierce battle, Ma Teng could only lead nearly a hundred loyal guards to flee in panic.

They ran wildly all the way, looking in a mess, with pursuers chasing them and a raging flame of war behind them.

In fact, Liu Yu had anticipated the falling out between Ma Teng and Han Sui. Promising Ma Teng huge benefits and asking him to attack Bingzhou was just an introduction.

After all, power and interests often make people lose their nature, and even brothers who were once close friends are not immune.

However, what surprised Liu Yu was that for quite a long period of time, the two men had been able to live in peace without any fierce conflict.

Liu Yu passed the news to Jia Xu and asked this resourceful strategist to express his opinion.

Jia Xu took the information and read it carefully. His deep gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the paper and see the truth hidden behind it.

After reading it, Jia Xu frowned slightly and remained silent. After a long while, he slowly said: "As Ma Teng has been using troops in Bingzhou in recent years, his power has grown and his military strength has become stronger.

Han Sui was naturally dissatisfied with this, but he just kept it to himself. The reason why he did not take action before was probably because he was concerned about your friendship with Ma Chao and did not want to easily provoke trouble.

But now we are about to attack Yizhou, which is a critical period, but Han Sui chose to suddenly attack at this time. Cao Cao must be behind this. "

A hint of coldness flashed in Liu Yu's eyes.

"The situation in the world is like this. Does Cao Cao really think that Han Sui alone can stop my progress?"

Jia Xu smiled and said, "Cao Cao must also know that Han Sui cannot resist the lord's army at all, but as long as Han Sui distracts the lord and delays our offensive, Cao Cao's goal will be achieved."

Liu Yu lowered his head in thought.

"Wenhe, how do you think we should deal with this?"

Jia Xu pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Don't worry about this matter, just wait and see.

Although Ma Teng failed, he had been operating in Liang Province for many years and his foundation still existed. It was almost impossible for Han Sui to occupy Liang Province in one battle.

We just need to wait and see, let them fight each other, and when the time is right, it won’t be too late to send troops.”

Liu Yu felt that what Jia Xu said made sense, so he ignored it. Things developed just as Jia Xu had expected. After Ma Teng's failure, he gathered the remnants in Liang Province and gradually formed a stalemate with Han Sui.

Taking advantage of this gap, Liu Yu's soldiers had rested for a while, and Liu Yu decided to launch an attack on Cao Cao.

"Xingba, listen to my order. You are to lead 20,000 elite soldiers to cross Dingjun Mountain and capture Hanchang."

"Han Sheng, listen to my orders. You are to lead 50,000 elite soldiers to attack Jiange."

"Bo Ping, you lead 20,000 troops to attack Yinping!"

All the generals bowed their heads and accepted the order, then quickly went forward to organize their troops, leaving Zhao Yun alone with a puzzled look on his face.

"Since I followed my lord, I have fought hundreds of battles, big and small, and never fell behind. The battle to defeat Cao Cao was the key to the unification of the Han Dynasty. Why did my lord send all of them out and only leave me, Zhao Yun, behind?

Do you think, my lord, that your martial arts and strategies are superior to mine?"
