(Please collect, recommend, and reward!) "Wenhe! You must have guessed that I will conquer Jingzhou next year. What do you think about this?" Yuan Shu put down his wine glass and asked Jia Xu with a serious look on his face. . Jia Xu pondered for a moment and replied: "Jingzhou has abundant soldiers and good food, and the city is high and the walls are thick, so it is not suitable to take it by force. In Xu's opinion, the lord should not take the four counties of Jingnan first, completely isolate Jiangxia County and Nan County, and then slowly Picture it. " Jia Xu is worthy of being a poisonous person. According to what he said, after losing the four counties of Jingnan, Liu Biao will completely lose his depth and be caught between Nanyang and Jingnan, lingering and waiting for defeat. "Jingnan?" Yuan Shu was stunned. They had previously discussed taking Yuzhang first and then attacking Jiangxia. At the same time, Xiangyang would send troops to attack Nanjun, attacking from both sides. Jingnan? But they have never thought about it. It should be noted that although Jingnan is vast, it is mostly remote and desolate land. It is far less prosperous than Jiangxia County and Nanjun. Even strategic experts like Zhang Hong have considered taking Jingnan first. Jia Xu¡¯s strategy seems to have opened another ¡®door¡¯ for Yuan Shu. "I never thought there was such an advance route before. Jia Xu is indeed a top strategist!" Yuan Shu secretly praised in his heart. "Wenhe! According to you, how long will it take to capture Jingzhou?" Yuan Shu was most concerned about this, because he wanted to conquer Lu Bu, so he could not delay in Jingzhou for too long. Jia Xu looked at Yuan Shu with deep eyes, and said: "After taking down Jingnan, the lord will advance or retreat according to his own heart, without fear of Liu Biao." He looked at Jia Xu in confusion. However, Yuan Shu showed a smile on his face and said, "Wen He seems to have guessed something?" "I don't know, and I don't want to know." Jia Xu is well versed in the way of protecting one's self. He is a newbie, and although Yuan Shu values ??him, in the end It¡¯s better not to know some things before your footing is stable. Although Yuan Shu had never met Jia Xu, he knew him very well and didn't care. He turned to Yu Fan and ordered: "Zhongxiang goes and calls Yuan Tu, Gongda and Zigang. I have something to discuss with them. " "No!" Yu Fan gestured to Jia Xu and then exited the hall. "Since you have guessed it, is there a way to get the best of both worlds?" This sentence suddenly came out of Yuan Shu's mouth. Jia Xu stole a glance at Yuan Shu and whispered: "Xu doesn't know what my lord means." "Haha!" Yuan Shu smiled lightly and said, "Yu Fan should have told you something, do you remember it?" "You have to look for yourself." , Why don¡¯t you seek the country with me?¡± This passage flashed through Jia Xu¡¯s mind, and his body trembled slightly, but he soon returned to his original state. "You have to say what you need to say!" Yuan Shu looked at Jia Xu with a smile. Jia Xu sighed secretly, he couldn't understand why Yuan Shu knew him so well. "I wonder what your lord's intention is?" Jia Xu asked for the first time. "Xuzhou!" Yuan Shu's eyes flashed and he said calmly. "Xuzhou?" Jia Xu was a little surprised, then frowned and said: "The Central Plains is in chaos, why does my lord get involved in this quagmire? If you can't extricate yourself, wouldn't it be worth the loss?" Yuan Shu said seriously: "I don't want Xuzhou, but Lu Bu " "L¨¹ Bu?" Jia Xu was even more confused now. What is the relationship between Lu Bu and Xuzhou? Suddenly, an idea flashed in Jia Xu's mind, and he thought of a possibility, and it suddenly became clear to him. "My lord, you want to conquer Lu Bu?" Jia Xu asked tentatively. "Not only Lu Bu, but also all the generals under his command, I want to accept him." Yuan Shu did not hide anything and said directly. Jia Xu did not show any surprise. Before defecting, he had an in-depth understanding of Yuan Shu and his civil and military personnel. With the continuous expansion of Yuan Shu's territory, what he lacks most now is no longer civil servants and counselors, but generals who can take charge of their own affairs. Guarding a place seems simple, but is actually difficult. It requires people who are both civil and military. Among Yuan Shu's generals, only Wenpin and Wei Yan meet the requirements, while Ji Ling and Mao Jie can only be considered half of them. After capturing Jingzhou, the territory expanded again, and the generals were bound to become even more nervous. "Obviously, Jia Xu had some misunderstandings. Although he also coveted those generals Yuan Shu, his real goal was Gao Shun, and he wanted to use Gao Shun's power to train the army and improve its combat effectiveness. "L¨¹ Bu is full of wolf nature. If the lord wants to subdue him, he must wait until he is cornered and do not give him military power after subduing him. Otherwise, there will be endless troubles." Jia Xu's words seemed to be admonishing Yuan Shu, but in fact they were not. "You need to wait until he is desperate to act." Jia Xu's words have already shown his own attitude. He doesn't know when Lu Bu is desperate, otherwise he will just say it. According to Jia Xu¡¯s intention, he wanted to persuade Yuan Shu toHe gave up his thoughts, but he didn't expect that it would be self-defeating, but instead strengthened Yuan Shu's determination to conquer Lu Bu. Yuan Shu had been immersed in political intrigue for many years, and soon understood the meaning of Jia Xu's words. "When you are desperate! Are you going to Xiapi?" Looking back on history, Lu Bu was trapped in Xiapi and had no other way out. He was eventually betrayed by his subordinates and died. "If this is the case, it will be much easier to handle!" Yuan Shu was secretly happy. There were still several years before Lu Bu was trapped in Xiapi, which was enough for him to take Jingzhou. "Report!" A voice interrupted Yuan Shu's thoughts. "Four gentlemen, Feng Ji, Xun You, Zhang Hong, and Yu Fan, have asked to see you." The attendant reported. Yuan Shu came to his senses and waved his hand: "Let them in." "Promise!" After a while, four people from Fengji came hand in hand and paid homage with a big salute: "Meet the lord!" "No need to be polite!" Yuan Shu waved his hand and said : "Sit down!" "Thank you, Lord!" Everyone sat down and looked at Jia Xu curiously. "This is Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe, you have seen them with extraordinary intelligence and scheming." Yu Fan and Jia Xu had known each other for a long time, but Yuan Shu introduced them to Feng Ji, Xun You, and Zhang Hong. In fact, the three of them had already heard Yu Fan talk about it on the way here, so they were not surprised when they heard it now. They were polite to each other and said nothing else. Afterwards, Yuan Shu said to Feng Ji and others: "Wen He advised me to take the four counties of Jingnan first and completely isolate Jiangxia County and Nan County. What do you think?" Feng Ji and others were stunned. Yu Fan did not tell the three of them about this matter. Pass. At that moment, the three of them pondered for a moment, and then they heard Zhang Hong say: "My lord! This plan is feasible. After taking down the four counties in Jingnan, our army can attack from the north and the south. Liu Biao has no way to retreat, so he has to sit back and wait for death." After speaking, Zhang Hong turned to Jia Xu admired him and said, "Mr. Jia is a great talent. This plan is a brilliant one." "I don't dare!" Jia Xu said modestly, "It's just a small plan that made Zhang Shangshu laugh." Yuan Shu waved his hand and said, "You don't need to do that. You're welcome, Wen He has already taken effect, you just have to say hello." "No!" Everyone responded quickly. Feng Ji cleared his throat, stood up and said: "Lord! If you want to capture Jingnan, you must first take the Yuzhang. Only by taking the Yuzhang, our army can cross the Gan River and attack Jingnan." "Yes!" Yuan Shu nodded slightly. , said: "I wanted to attack Liu Yao some time ago, but it was a pity that his rule was unstable, so I delayed it. Now that the mountains and rivers in the east of the Yangtze have been leveled, we can send out troops." "Rescue." Yuan Shu asked, "Can we order Xiangyang Wenpin to go south and intimidate Nanjun so that Liu Biao will be wary and dare not rescue?" . Besides, there is no need to send troops to rescue Nanjun. They can also send troops from Jiangxia. " Yuan Shu had no choice but to break up the alliance of Liu and Liu, so he had to attack Yuzhang City. After breaking Yuzhang City, he crossed the Gan River and arrived. At that time, Jiangxia and Jingnan will be exposed under his iron hoof. In this way, Yuan Shu can completely take the initiative. At this time, Yuan Shu accidentally noticed that Jia Xu was hesitant to speak, as if he wanted to say something. Yuan Shu's heart moved and he said: "If Wen He has something to say, you might as well say it directly!" A trace of hesitation flashed across Jia Xu's face. He is a clumsy person and doesn't like to express himself. He has already been in the limelight today. If he says more, it will be a bit too much. , it might even cause dissatisfaction among Feng Ji and others, and the relationship with his colleagues would be tense as soon as he arrived. This is not what Jia Xu wants to see. "Haha!" Yuan Shu could more or less guess what Jia Xu was worried about, and said jokingly: "Wen He must be aware that you must do your best under my command, otherwise you will not be promoted. If the official position is small, the salary will not be much. The food and drinks at Mingyue Tower are very expensive! Even I can¡¯t afford them.¡±¡
