    Cao Pi led a group of soldiers to meet him and asked him to enter the barracks to report what had happened.  After hearing this, Jia Xu's eyes were filled with sparkles, he held his chin and beard, and was silent.  Cao Pi made a confession.  Jia Xu smiled calmly and talked to Cao Pi.

    "Zihuan defeated the Wu thieves in his previous campaign and crossed the natural dangers of the Yangtze River, which can be said to have made a great contribution. Later, because he took pity on Xu Wenxiang's talent, he accepted him for use, but he expected that this person was a Wu thieves insider.  It's no wonder that Huan fell into his trap due to his carelessness. I will report all of this to Your Majesty truthfully. However, Zi Huan, you are the commander-in-chief of the army after all, so you are unavoidable.  It¡¯s worth it!¡±

    When Cao Pi heard this, his heart trembled, and he clearly understood what Jia Xu meant.  His father, Cao Cao, loved talents as much as his life and was thirsty for talents. As Jia Xu said, his father would not blame him more after thinking about it.  But in this way, Xu Sheng will bear a bad reputation.  He eventually died for Cao Pi, but Cao Pi could not be buried with the courtesy of Wei Chen. Naturally, the people of Wu hated him deeply, and they probably would not rectify his name.

    Thinking of this, Cao Pi couldn't help showing a bit of unbearable look in his eyes.  Jia Xu's eyes narrowed and he suddenly said.  

    "Those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters. Zihuan, you still need to study more, otherwise how will you be able to lead the imperial court in the future!?"

    After hearing this, Cao Pi's expression darkened, he sighed secretly, bowed his hands, and said that he had been taught.  When Cao Zhang saw this, he frowned and hesitated, but finally spoke out.  The matter came to an end.  Jia Xu ordered all the troops to go and rest, and then ordered Cao Pi to get a map, and ordered the guide to tell him one by one the important points around Jianye City.  Jia Xu has a photographic memory, and he immediately memorized the topography within dozens of miles of Jianye City.  Afterwards, Jia Xu ordered his generals to retreat, and he was thinking about strategies in his tent.

    At noon the next day, Jia Xu sent an order to the generals to gather in the tent to discuss.  Jia Xu was sitting in the high hall, his face was stern and solemn, exuding an inexplicable pressure, and he said in a deep voice.

    "The terrain of Jianye City is steep, and the city walls are all built with solid rocks. The city is very solid, and it is actually a solid city with copper walls and iron walls. Although our army has weapons, if we break through it head-on, it will be difficult to win, and our army  A lot of troops were lost in the previous campaign and their morale was low, so it was not suitable to fight hard and attack forcefully.

    However, Zhuge Ziyu has always been cautious and careful, and now he is determined to defend Jianye, hoping to occupy Gaocheng to resist our army, waiting for work in leisure, delaying the time, and waiting for our army to be short of food or unable to attack for a long time, or something unexpected happens.  Attack with force.  The current situation is extremely unfavorable to our army.  If you want to defeat Jianye, you can only do it by winning by surprise!  "

    When Cao Pi heard this, his expression condensed and he asked hurriedly.

    "I wonder if Tai Tuo has a plan!?"

    Jia Xu smiled lightly and then spoke. He looked around at the generals and saw that they were all thinking hard, except for Hao Zhao whose eyes were bright.  Jia Xu's eyes showed a bit of strangeness. Yesterday I heard that the reason why he was able to defeat the Wu thieves and cross the Yangtze River was all based on this man's plan.  Jia Xu couldn't help but be curious and asked.

    "In Bodao's opinion, what should we do?"

    Hao Zhao was deep in thought, and when he heard Jia Xu's call, his heart was shaken, and he quickly bowed his hands and bowed.

    "Reporting to Taifu, the general believes that although the Wu thieves are weak, they have a high city to hold, and they are not qualified to fight our army. If we want to win by surprise, we can only lure the Wu thieves out of the city."

    Hearing this, Jia Xu nodded slightly, as if he agreed, and motioned for Hao Zhao to continue.  At this time, Cao Zhang suddenly interrupted.

    "But Taifu also said that Zhuge Ziyu was cautious, and his previous setback was caused by his unexpectedness that there was a strategist in our army. Now I want to lure him out of the city, I'm afraid it will not be easy."

    After hearing this, Hao Zhao looked calm and spoke slowly, neither in a hurry nor in a hurry.

    "What the third prince said is true. It turns out that if it is so, our army might as well make a hasty attack and prepare carefully to concentrate our forces to attack Jianye, but we will also store our baggage in a dangerous place on a high mountain to the west. When the Wu thieves see it, they will definitely think that  We do this in order to mobilize more troops and horses. If Zhuge Ziyu loses his patience and wants to send troops to burn down our army's baggage, we can take the opportunity to defeat him!"

    When Hao Zhao revealed his plan, Jia Xu's eyes suddenly burst out with two rays of light, and he laughed loudly.

    "Hahahaha!! There are many opinions in the world that agree with each other!! Bo Dao's plan is exactly what I want!!"

    It turns out that the strategy Jia Xu thought about last night almost coincided with Hao Zhao's.  Jia Xu suddenly looked at Hao Zhao with admiration and thought to himself.

    "This son pays close attention to every detail, and his strategy is extraordinary. If he sharpens it, in due time, he will become a great weapon!! I heard that Guo Langzi took in a disciple named Jiang Wei, who is a dragon among men. This son  Not long after he entered the official position, he repeatedly made extraordinary achievements. It is really jealous that such an outstanding person fell into the hands of Guo Langzi. "

    Thinking of this, Jia Xu suddenly had an idea and issued transfer orders to all the generals. All the generals took the orders and left. Only Hao Zhao received the military order.  After a while, the only thing left in the tent wasHao Zhao and Jia Xu.  Hao Zhao's face was plain, but he looked unhurried.  Jia Xu frowned and asked in a deep voice.

    "All the generals under my command are willing to be the first to make meritorious deeds. I have given orders to all of them, except for you. But you don't see the slightest sign of urgency. Do you mean that you don't want to make meritorious deeds!?"

    After hearing this, Hao Zhao bowed his hands and said respectfully.

    "There must be a deep meaning in Taifu's arrangement like this. How dare you guess, Zhao is ready to be dispatched at any time!!"

    After hearing this, Jia Xu felt that Hao Zhaoxing was very similar to himself because of his tolerant character, ability to seek fame and fortune, and his ability to control his true nature. He suddenly felt a little happy in his heart, and spoke to him.

    "How old is Bo Dao? Where is he from?"

    "Reporting to Taifu, Zhao is originally from Taiyuan. In the past, due to the rebellion caused by the Baibo bandits, his family moved to the Central Plains to live in peace. Zhao is already twenty-two this year."

    Hao Zhaoji spoke quickly and reported back to Jia Xu.  After hearing this, Jia Xu applauded repeatedly, and then asked Hao Zhao one by one about the situation at home.  I heard that Hao Zhao's father once served as an official in the army, reaching the rank of captain. Later, he got sick and returned to his hometown, and died of illness soon after.  Hao Zhao inherited his father's legacy and joined the army. He came from a clean family and could be described as a martyr.  The more Jia Xu listened, the happier he became. He had always been smooth and cautious in dealing with things. If Hao Zhao's family was in trouble, he would rather abandon it than get into trouble in the future.

    After hearing this, Jia Xu was happy and suddenly changed the subject and spoke to Hao Zhao.

    "Bo Dao, I see that you are young, experienced, humble and courteous, calm in dealing with things, have ambitions in your heart, and are familiar with strategy and war. You are not a thing in the pond. I intend to accept you as my disciple, but I don't know if you are willing.  no?"

    Hearing this, Hao Zhao's eyes changed, and his heart felt as if there were hundreds of feet of waves, and he was surprised and happy at the same time.  It can be seen that Jia Xu is the current Imperial Tutor, one of the Three Dukes, he has accomplished many extraordinary feats in his life, and is highly regarded by his Majesty Cao Cao. If we want to talk about his life deeds, I am afraid it would be difficult to describe them all in three days and three nights.  For such a person to be able to favor him, Hao Zhao couldn't react for a moment and fell into a state of ecstasy.  Jia Xu laughed, and suddenly Hao Zhao knelt on his knees, kowtowed heavily, and said with emotion.

    "How virtuous and talented Zhao is. Fortunately, I am so appreciated by the Taifu. I am willing to serve as your father and listen to your teachings carefully!! I will never let the Taifu suffer!!"

    Jia Xu was overjoyed after hearing this. He quickly helped Hao Zhao up, took a piece of finely carved mutton-fat jade from his waist, and spoke to Hao Zhao.

    "This piece of jade is a gift from your majesty. I will give it to you as a teacher. I hope you will succeed in your studies in the future, work hard, repay the court, and be a pillar of the country!!"

    After Jia Xu said this, he put the jade into Hao Zhao's hand.  Hao Zhao was so excited that he took the jade and said in a solemn voice, feeling extremely grateful to Jia Xu.

    "The disciple is determined to be the master and will obey the teachings!!"

    After that, Jia Xu and Hao Zhaoxian briefly talked about the situation in the court. After all, Hao Zhao was now Jia Xu's disciple, and the two had a close relationship.  And Jia Xu has always supported the eldest son Cao Pi to inherit the position of Dabao, and Hao Zhao will now be labeled as one of Cao Pi's faction.  Among them, Xun You, Chen Qun and others secretly supported Cao Zhi.  As for Cao Zhang, because of his bravery, he was supported by many soldiers in the court, led by Zhang Jia and Xu Chu.  After hearing this, Hao Zhao was secretly shocked. It turned out that the seemingly peaceful Wei Dynasty court was secretly divided into factions and was in turmoil.  However, Hao Zhao has actually appointed Jia Xu as his teacher. Naturally, he will not join anyone else except Cao Pi.  Jia Xu was very happy when he saw Hao Zhao's understanding.  Suddenly, Jia Xu's face tightened, with a somewhat solemn look on his face, and he spoke to Hao Zhao in a deep voice.

    "Bo Dao, there is one thing you should always keep in mind. No matter what, our loyalty is to Your Majesty. Even if one day, Your Majesty orders you to get rid of someone, no matter who this person is, you don't have to worry too much, carry it out.  That¡¯s it!¡±

    "But what if!?"

    Hao Zhao¡¯s eyes changed and he opened his mouth to stop.  Jia Xu's face was cold and there was no room for doubt.

    "The Wei Dynasty was founded by His Majesty after untold hardships and has achieved unparalleled achievements. Every city and place in the Wei Dynasty, every brick and tile, including humans and animals, all belong to Your Majesty. Whatever His Majesty orders, whether it is for the teacher or the Crown Prince, please do it immediately.  OK. Otherwise, a lot of people will die!¡±

    Hao Zhao's face changed continuously when he heard this. When he mentioned Cao Cao, his current emperor, Jia Xu couldn't help but show a bit of horror in his eyes.  Hao Zhao saw this and engraved Jia Xu's instructions in his heart.

    The night passed.  That night, Cao Zhang followed Jia Xu's instructions and personally led his troops to gather the heavy supplies in a dangerous place on the hilltop to the west.  On the next day, Wu Bing scouts found out and quickly reported back to Zhuge Jin.  After Zhuge Jin heard this, his expression changed drastically, his face looked heavy, and he sighed.

    "It seems that Jia Wenhe is going to gather troops and attack Jianye City!"

    "What do you think, Master Sima?"

    When Zhu Huan heard this, his face tightened, a look of confusion flashed in his eyes, and he asked in a solemn voice.  Zhuge Jin's eyes flashed with light and he said slowly.

    "The reason why the Wei invaders stationed their baggage in a dangerous place was, firstly, to facilitate the deployment of troops and horses and to gather troops. Secondly, it was to improve the situation.??Our army went to attack the camp and burned the baggage.  "

    Zhu Huan was very intelligent, and when he heard it, he woke up.  After a while, Zhu Huan suddenly laughed.  When Zhuge Jin saw this, he frowned and asked.

    "Why is Xiu Mu laughing so hard!?"

    "Huan Xiao said that Jia Wenhe has a false reputation, but he is just a man of plans and a man who does not know how to adapt to changes!!"

    Zhu Huan's face hardened, his eyes were bright, and he said with a smile on his lips.  Zhuge Jin heard this and saw that Zhu Huan seemed to be strategizing. He was shocked and asked urgently.

    "Why did Xiu Mu say this? Tell me in detail!"

    Zhu Huan bowed his head and accepted the promise, then said slowly.

    "Jia Wenhe suffered two defeats this time. First, our Jianye City was firmly entrenched, not to mention the Wei invaders with 20,000 soldiers and horses, even a hundred thousand troops were eager and difficult to defeat!! Second, the Wei invaders gathered their forces  , thinking that our army is too tired to guard against danger, but it is too disrespectful to our ears!"

    Zhuge Jin's face changed continuously when he heard this, and he nodded repeatedly.  Zhu Huan changed the subject and continued.

    "Da Sima, don't worry too much. As the saying goes, those who bully the enemy will be defeated! I have a plan to teach the Wei invaders to retreat in a hurry!! This is the plan. The Wei invaders concentrate their forces and rush to capture Jianye City.  When his army is attacking wildly, the defense of its food garrison is empty. However, we can teach the brave men in the city to disguise themselves as soldiers to guard it, but secretly we can teach the elite men to come out from the west gate, eager to attack the food garrison.  , and then set it on fire. The enemy's army has lost all its supplies, is short of supplies, and is in great disarray. Our army will be ready to withdraw soon. But when we see the enemy's retreat, we will lead the army and the people in the city to cover it up, and we will definitely win a complete victory.  !¡±
