Volume 2: Unpredictable Chapter 365: The strategy of merging states

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "Oh? I don't know about this, but I don't know which state or county Zhicai is referring to?"

    "Bingzhou!"

    Wenhan's eyes widened, and he suddenly felt a sudden enlightenment, and his eyes suddenly burst into extremely beautiful light.  Xilong smiled and continued.

    "The reason why I say this is because the people of Bingzhou are all loyal to the lord. The lord defeated the Qiang and Hu in Bingzhou in the early years, and even went deep into the Qiang territory to rescue 100,000 Han people, winning the title of champion. The lord was able to win the hearts of the people of Bingzhou. At this time  Bingzhou has no owner, and most of the territory of Bingzhou has been captured by the Baibo bandits. If the lord sends his army to attack the Baibo bandits at this time, it is the best time to capture Bingzhou. "

    "But Zhang Yang, the prefect of Pingyang, is an old general of Ding Gong, and he and I were allies of the Yishi Alliance. If I want to take over and merge the state, it is inevitable that I will not have a conflict with him."

    "My lord, if you want to achieve great things, you can't do everything according to your heart and emotions. He has no talent and great strategy, and he has few generals and few soldiers. Although many prefects in Bingzhou regard him as a leader, it is only in name.  . And Zhang Yang was just pushed to the forefront by them.

    Now that Ding Gong is dead, no one in Bingzhou can stabilize the overall situation, and Ding Gong's old generals are all looking out for themselves, so Bingzhou will be defeated by Bai Bo's traitors sooner or later.

    "If the lord waits for the entire Bingzhou to fall into the hands of the Baibo thieves, and then wants to attack it, Hedong will have to pay a heavy price to gain Bingzhou.  "

    Wenhan narrowed his knife-like eyes, and his mind was racing. After a while, Wenhan seemed to have made a decision, and his eyes became firm and bright.

    "Before taking Bingzhou, what preparations should we make in Hedong?"

    Xilong smiled, and his whole body exuded an aura of knowing the overall situation and being confident.

    "There are three preparations. First, you can't do anything without a good reputation. The lord can first send a letter to Zhang Yang, saying that he wants to help him quell the rebellion in Bingzhou. Zhang Yang is on good terms with the lord, and the lord's name of benevolence and righteousness has already been famous.  In the world, after receiving the letter, he will definitely accept the lord's kindness with joy. In this way, the lord will have the reputation of being a master.

    Second, Bingzhou has a vast territory, with eight counties and 164 counties.  To capture Bingzhou, it is necessary to ensure that the soldiers are well-equipped before setting off. The lord can order the generals in Hedong to rest their troops for half a month, so that they can go home and reunite with their relatives.  After all, if they want to leave the army and merge with the state, these soldiers will be separated from their relatives for a long time.

    If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools.  The third is to prepare what is needed for the departure of the army, such as food and grass, armaments, siege weapons, etc.  "

    Wenhan listened to Xilong making arrangements one by one in an orderly manner, and nodded with satisfaction.

    "Well, that's what Zhicai said. Except for the first thing that needs to be carried out by me personally, everything else is left to Zhicai and Zigang. Is this appropriate?"

    "Okay. With me and Zhang Zigang here, my lord can rest assured. Also, during these half months, I hope that my lord will calm down and recuperate. You are the lord of Hedong. And a snake can't do without a head. This moral ideal must be based on my lord's wisdom. It should be  clear."

    "Humph, Xi Zhicai, are you teaching me how to do things the other way around? Of course I understand. Okay, you go out first. After I finish writing the letter, I will prepare to be a hands-off shopkeeper in the next half month and have a good time."

    "I don't dare, I just worry about my lord. Uh Before Long Lin left, I still have one question, but I don't know if I should ask it?"

    "Don't be pretentious, just ask if you want to."

    "My lord, are you really going to let Jia Wenhe leave? This man has no omissions and a superb strategy. If you let him go, no matter who he becomes an official under in the future, that person will become a serious problem for the lord."

    Xilong frowned. He felt that Wenhan's move was undoubtedly letting the tiger return to the mountain and leaving behind troubles.  Even in the hearts of people like Xi Long, Jia Xu is terrifying and difficult to defeat.

    "A gentleman always keeps his promise. Although I think I am not a gentleman, I do not want to be a treacherous villain. Since I have made a promise to him, how can I break my promise."

    "Heyit's inconvenient for Long to say more. Long will go and arrange his departure."

    Xilong seemed to have expected Wenhan to make such a decision. He shook his head, bowed to Wenhan and left.  Wenhan rubbed his sore temples, closed his eyes and meditated for a while, then sat down on the desk and started writing a letter.

    An hour later, Wen Han had just finished writing the letter to Zhang Yang and had just relaxed when a sergeant reported that Jia Xu wanted to see him.  Wenhan was a little surprised and his heartbeat accelerated suddenly, wondering if Jia Xu had changed his mind and was willing to join his army?

    However, Wenhan quickly threw away this idea.  I think Jia Xu is probably here to say goodbye.

    "Send him in."

    Wenhan nodded to the sergeant.  After a while, Jia Xu walked in. He bowed deeply to Wen Han before speaking.

      "Xu threatened millions of lives, but Wen Guanjun was still willing to fulfill his promise and let Xu leave. Wen Guanjun is indeed a man of trust. Xu admires him very much."

    "Jia Wenhe, there is no need to say anything about appearance. Are you coming here to say goodbye to me, or are you here to see if I have any intention of harming you?"

    But Jia Xu didn't seem to hear the irony in Wenhan's words, and just smiled at Wenhan.

    "Xu is terrified. If Wen Guanjun had attacked Xu, Xu would have died thousands of times. Wen Guanjun's conduct has always been upright, how dare Xu doubt it.

    Xu Xu came here this time. In addition to saying goodbye, he also specially offered a strategy and advice to Champion Wen to repay the great kindness of Champion Wen for the millions of Liangzhou people.  "

    "Oh? I'm all ears."

    "Chuan Wen is a man of great talent and great strategy, so there is no need for Xu to clarify some of his words. If Champion Wen wants to expand his power, Xu feels that there is a state and county that is most suitable for Champion Wen."

    "Bingzhou?"

    "Uh Haha, it seems that Wen Guanjun's subordinates are also Crouching Tigers, Hidden Dragons. Xu really doesn't know what's good or bad, and he just does whatever he wants. I wonder if it was the talented man named Xi Zhicai who General Xu often mentioned, who made the plan for Wen Guanjun?"

    Wenhan looked at Jia Xu silently and did not answer. Jia Xu smiled casually and said again.

    "In this case, I am sorry to say that my talent is shallow, but I can only offer one piece of advice to the literary champion."

    Jia Xu paused, put away his smile, his face became darker, and looked into Wen Han's eyes.

    "Champion Wen, with your great talents and the many heroes under your command, it is not difficult to be powerful. But if you want to conquer the world, Champion Wen still lacks the heart needed in troubled times."

    "The heart needed in troubled times? What kind of heart is it?"

    Wenhan's heart sank and he stared at Jia Xu, but Jia Xu had an expression that could only be understood but not expressed, and shook his head at Wenhan.

    "That's it for now. Xu won't linger any longer. I hope Champion Wen will take care of himself."

    Jia Xu bowed his hands in salute and left gracefully.  Jia Xu's words seemed to have a great impact on Wenhan. Wenhan fell into deep thought for a long time and could not recover for a long time.

    It was night, Jia Xu left Anyi City with his family members, Chen Bing and other dozens of Liangzhou people.  Chen Bing and his subordinates had already decided to follow Jia Xu for the rest of their lives from the moment they fled with Jia Xu from Li Cui.  Wenhan did not leave them behind and asked them to leave with Jia Xu.

    "Master, I think Champion Nawen treats his subordinates very well, and he is ambitious and strategic. He also values ??the master. Why doesn't the master stay under his command and become an official?"

    Chen Bing was driving a carriage, and behind his carriage, there were two carriages.  Jia Xu's family members sat in these three carriages.  There were dozens of Liangzhou people following him, acting as guards.

    Jia Xu, on the other hand, was sitting next to Chen Bing. After hearing Chen Bing's question, his face became a little heavy.

    "Although Champion Wen is good, he has a fatal flaw, that is, he is too idealistic and emotional. This shortcoming of his will sooner or later lead to disaster in this troubled world.

    "If he could have experienced the pain before this catastrophe came and discovered it earlier, then he might still be able to accomplish great things.  Otherwise, he would only be shining brightly for a moment.

    As for why I didn¡¯t become an official under him, it was all because I would be ruthless and cut off people¡¯s escape every time I tried to make plans. However, Champion Wen was easily swayed by his benevolence, so he and I were not suitable.  In this way, even if I reluctantly join him as an official, it will be difficult for me to get ahead.  "

    Chen Bing said something like he didn¡¯t understand, and then asked again.

    "Then Master, where should we go in such a big world? Is it possible that we have to go back to Li Cui's place?"

    "The moment I left Li Cui's staff, I decided to part ways with him. As for where to go, I have already made a decision."

    "Ah? Master has already thought about it, so what is Master's choice?"

    "Cao Cao, Cao Mengde. This person is definitely better than Champion Wen in all aspects, and what's even more rare is that he has a heroic heart. I can guarantee that the general trend of the world will be changed by this person. It is even possible,  He is the unique person who can put an end to the current chaotic situation. Now that he has not become famous, it is the best time for me to become an official. "

    "Cao Cao? Master, he and Champion Wen are close friends. After all, Master has served under Champion Wen. If Master becomes an official under Cao Cao, I am afraid that Champion Wen will be dissatisfied with Cao Cao. Therefore, will Cao Cao reject Master?  ?¡±

    "Haha, don't underestimate Wen Guanjun's magnanimity. He will never be dissatisfied with Cao Cao just because of such a trivial matter.

    And as I said just now, Cao Cao is a heroic figure.  As long as it can help him achieve great things, even if he hasHe would accept any person with deep hatred across the sea without hesitation.  "

    "It's the villain who talks too much. With your intelligence, sir, the decision you made is definitely the right one."

    After that, Chen Bing said nothing again, Jia Xu closed his eyes and meditated, and the three carriages drove quickly towards Chen Liu under the sound of horse whips.

    After Jia Xu left Anyi, Wen Han had a rare free time in the following days.  Under the careful care of Hua Tuo and Diao Chan, Guan Yu gradually recovered from his injuries.  After that, Hua Tuo treated Wenhan for a while, and Wenhan's right shoulder gradually no longer hurt.  At the same time, Xilong and Zhang Hong began to make preparations for the attack on the Baibo bandits.  In addition to the two of them who were extremely busy every day, the military attach¨¦s such as Xu Huang, Gao Shun, and Zhou Cang seemed a little comfortable and leisurely.

    In the Anyi Prefecture, Wen Han was combing Cai Yan's hair. Cai Yan's hair was black and soft, exuding a delicate fragrance.

    "Sanlang, how can you, the governor of the county, do such a thing? It really lacks dignity. Sanlang, please put it down quickly."

    "Haha, there is no majesty between husband and wife. Yan'er, I am often away fighting, which really hurts you. Just let me do something to make up for it.

    And on weekdays, don¡¯t be too frugal, spend what you need to spend, and buy the satin and bead jewelry you like when you see them.  You have been wearing this dress for a few days. Tomorrow I will send someone to buy some silk and satin, and then call a good tailor to sew a new dress for you.  "

    Wenhan lowered his head and kissed Cai Yan's black hair, sniffing the fragrance of her hair with fascination. Cai Yan blushed, and mist rose in her beautiful eyes. She didn't want Wenhan to always be by her side.

    But from the moment she fell in love with this man, she understood that this man could not only belong to her.

    However, as long as this man still remembers her, cares about her, and loves her.  Even for a moment, she felt full of happiness.

    Cai Yan felt Wen Han's body temperature and breath, and felt so sweet that she couldn't speak, as if she was afraid that this rare atmosphere would be broken.

    After a while, Wen Han suddenly remembered what the horse tamer had entrusted to him, and asked Cai Yan.

    "By the way, Yan'er. Have you ever found the person that Senior Wenxing dragged me to look for?"

    "Oh, Saburo, are you talking about Lianxiang, Meixiang, and Lanxiang?"

    Cai Yan smiled and asked with raised brows like a moving elf.
