"Jia Xu from Nanyang, especially with young Zhang Lei, Shouchun, please surrender! Please also invite His Royal Highness the King of Shu to come down to the city to discuss!" Jia Xu stood at the bottom of the city and shouted loudly towards Liu Mang's army on the city wall. Such a scribe in this dark night Among them, the voice is very loud, which is very surprising.
"Please surrender? Get down the city wall?!" With such a voice, Jia Xu directly detonated the people above Shouchun. The sudden long-distance raid of Xiliang cavalry under the city of Shouchun already made all the civil and military people in Shouchun very angry. Shame and anger, if this is rushed into the city, it will be another scuffle.
Now it is revealed that Zhang Xiu is dead, and even Jia Xu begged to surrender! These are not problems. The most critical problem is that they want Liu Mang, the lord of Yangzhou, to come down to the city wall to negotiate? Are you here to ask for surrender or to persuade you to surrender
"Hmph! Jia Wenhe, if you are begging to surrender! Bind your hands and kneel down on Shouchun. We will put down the hanging basket and pull you up to talk in detail!" Xu Shu who was beside him directly refuted Complied with Jia Xu's request, and said coldly. Still want to go down town for business talks? Liu Mang is the king of Shu and also the lord of Yangzhou, with such a noble status, how could he get down the city wall? If there is a fraud in it and they take Liu Mang, then what can this group of people do.
"His Royal Highness the King of Shu really doesn't want to go down the city wall to discuss with Jia Xu!" Jia Xu who was under the city continued to ask.
"That's right! Jia Wenhe, I think it's impossible for the king of Shu to meet you even if your relatives come. You, a counselor, come to ask for your surrender. How can you be confident? What qualifications do you have for my lord to negotiate with you in person!" The literati in Yangzhou were also angrily scolding Jia Xu in the city.
"Mr. Wenhe, this, this!" Looking at the anger of Shouchun Wenwu on the city wall. The two generals of the Xiliang cavalry under the city were also a little flustered. They really came here to surrender. Looking at Jia Xu's appearance of being an uncle when he came to ask for surrender, he was really afraid of messing up the matter.
"It doesn't matter! The two generals are watching, His Royal Highness the King of Shu will definitely meet us," Jia Xu said very calmly.
It is true that he came here this time because Zhang Xiu died, and he was planning to find a new master, but Liu Wei is not necessarily his inevitable candidate for Jia Xu. Jia Xu has three people in total, one is Cao Cao from Yanzhou, Cao Cao Now Hebei is almost pacified. With the land of four continents in Hebei, it can be said that he is already the biggest prince in the world. It is safest to mix with Cao Cao, but Jia Xu also has scruples. The child who is less than five years old is a scruple. Zhang Xiuzhang Zhang Xiu had a deep grudge with Lao Cao. Zhang Xiu killed Lao Cao's most beloved eldest son, as well as his beloved general Dian Wei, his nephew Cao Anmin, and even almost killed Cao Pi. Surrendering in this way, Lao Cao may use his Jia Xu, but he will not let go of the only blood left by Zhang Xiu. Although Jia Xu didn't follow Zhang Xiu, but over the years, he has always had some feelings. Another scruple is that Cao Cao now has a lot of Chinese ministers and generals. It is difficult to play a role. After all, Cao Cao's various important positions have been occupied by others. Just like Liu Ye, although he is talented, he cannot be used.
The second person is Sun Ce from Jiangdong. If surrendering to Lao Cao is just icing on the cake, then surrendering to Sun Ce is really a blessing in disguise, because Sun Ce in Jiangdong is really short of horses and heavy armored cavalry. Being wiped out by Lu Bu's army is Sun Ce's background in Jiangdong for many years. It can be said that if Jia Xu takes the more than 5,000 Xiliang iron cavalry to go, Sun Ce will definitely be named a guest of honor by Sun Ce.
It's just that if you want to go to Jiangdong, you need to cross the Yangtze River. It's very difficult to do without contact.
The last person is Liu Mang, the king of Shu in Yangzhou. The Xiliang iron cavalry joining Liu Mang's army can't be regarded as sending charcoal in a timely manner. After all, Liu Mang's army also belongs to Lu Bu's army. , and the White Horse Congyi that is about to be formed in Zhao Yun's hands, so the demand for cavalry is not as high as that of Sun Ce's army, but it can't be counted as icing on the cake, because Lu Bujia Liu Mang's army is still too small, and Liu Mang's current main force in Yangzhou There are only about 15,000 people, and this still includes Hao Shao's trilogy, and Zhao Yun's cavalry! This is why, when Liu Bei and Zhang Xiu's army entered Yangzhou, Liu Mang could only avoid the battle but not fight. And the entire Lu Bu army plus Lujiang is just over 60,000 people. If this is just a second-rate prince, like Zhang Xiu, then it doesn't matter, as long as the soldiers and horses are enough to deter Xiaoxiao, he is up for sale anyway No ambition, but Lu Bujun is different. Jia Xu has been paying attention to Lu Bujun when he was in Nanyang. Since they occupied Lujiang, and then took Yangzhou, this is all about expansion, wanting to compete for hegemony in this troubled world How could the world dare to submit to others! The 60,000 army looks like a lot, but in fact, it is very little for the hegemony of the world. It is not enough at all. Sun Ce has 70,000 sailors in the east of the Yangtze River. , the gentry in Jiangdong conquered 100,000 soldiers and horses, and Yuan Shao had an army of 300,000 troops in the battle of Guandu. Although Lao Cao fought hard, he also won the victory. Now he also has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands. It is not impossible to restore Yuan Shao's 300,000 troops. Even Liu Biao, a city guard dog in Jingzhou, has 70,000 sailors stationed in Jiangxia and Jiangdong to fight for the front, let alone Xiangyang. With 60,000 Malays, on the original track, Jingzhou surrendered to Cao Cao under the plan of Cai Mao Kuai Yue, but gave Cao Cao 300,000 navy troops! 60,000 soldiers and horses are really not enough to fight for world hegemony. With the addition of Xiliang iron cavalry, then Liu Wei has three heavy armored cavalry in his hands. Who would dislike the elite soldiers and horses
This battle of Yangzhou, Jia Xu is also waiting and watching, which can be regarded as a test. Although Jia Xu has a good impression of Liu Mang, if Liu Mang loses, regardless of everything, if Liu Bei wins, then Jia Xu may join Liu Bei’s army. Or Cao Jun, the life and death of Liu Mang's army has nothing to do with him, but if Liu Mang wins, then Jia Xu really has to consider Yangzhou Liu Mang, Liu Bei no longer wants to, he was also disabled in the battle of Yangzhou, Hu Che'er I don't understand, but Jia Xu can see that Liu Bei is no longer able to win the hegemony in the Central Plains, Yangzhou can't even take it down, let alone the revenge of Liu Mang's army, once Lao Cao recovers. Liu Bei has only two choices. Either be destroyed. Either surrender, following such a hopeless person, Jia Xu will not do it!
Now that Liu Mang has won the Battle of Yangzhou, it can be said that he has completed Jia Xu's first test, and now it is Jia Xu's second test. Let's see if Liu Mang, the King of Shu, has earned his reputation or is it real? For courageous people, if Liu Mang is unwilling to come down. Jia Xu only gave Liu Mang two sticks of incense time. If Liu Mang didn't come down, then Jia Xu would turn around and leave with more than 5,000 Xiliang iron cavalry, surrendering to Cao Cao. In terms of Jia Xu's character, Zhang Lei died as soon as he died ! As long as Jia Xu is fine, Jia Xu will really do this. How could he not know that Liu Mang might have sent soldiers and horses to go out from the other two gates to surround him, so he didn't set up camp, just to leave immediately, this is Jia Xu's ultimate when he was two sticks of incense up.
And if Liu Mang gets down the city wall. So what if Jia Xu surrendered! This is not only a test of Liu Mang's courage, but also a big gift from Jia Xu. That is fame, the real reputation that can be famous all over the world.
What is in Jia Xu's hand! ? It was Xiliang iron cavalry, and even Zhang Xiu's youngest son, Zhang Lei, and the master of Xiliang iron cavalry was Zhang Xiu, and Zhang Xiu was the enemy of Lu Bu's army. Lu Bu's love killed Zhang Fan in the hands of Zhang Xiu and Bingzhou Even half of the wolf riders died, almost wiped out the whole army, and almost wiped out the Lu Bu army by the three alliances.
And once Jia Xu surrenders with Zhang Lei, Liu Mang will be famous all over the world. Even if such hatred can be let go, and the child of the enemy can be accepted, how big a heart must be, then It is the ability to tolerate others, even the enemy can tolerate, so what about other talented people! It must be able to tolerate it. This is a troubled time, and the etiquette is broken, but people pay extra attention to reputation, just like Liu Bei's hypocrisy, there are a group of brainwashed loyal people following Liu Bei, otherwise they will just sell straw sandals How could such an achievement be achieved! After failing so many times, even Yuan Shu, the descendant of the fourth generation and the third lord, was wiped out after only one failure, but Liu Bei relied on his reputation of benevolence and righteousness like the immortal Xiaoqiang. Lao Cao arrested Liu Bei, but he didn't kill Liu Bei because he was afraid that killing Liu Bei would arouse public anger.
If you choose this way, if you win the city wall, you will not only be able to subdue Jia Xu and accept the five thousand Xiliang iron cavalry, but also become famous all over the world. a stumbling block.
This multiple-choice question was left by Jia Xu to Liu Mang on the city wall. Whether the time for the two incense sticks is long or not, or whether it is short or not, depends on how Liu Mang chooses the two fates.
"My lord, be careful of deceit!" Xu Shu who was beside him persuaded him earnestly.
"Yes! My lord, what should I do if there is a false surrender outside the city!" Liu Ye was also consoling Liu Mang. These two people don't believe Jia Xu, because Jia Xu's reputation is too ugly, and why you Jia Xu wants to take the postgraduate entrance examination for Liu Mang, you have the qualifications!
"Huh?!" Liu Mang frowned, he didn't know what to do, he didn't know what to do, it wouldn't matter if he cheated, the city management army and the black chess army should have arrived at the ambush location, and the Bingzhou wolf rider was also in the city, Even if she was arrested, Jia Xu would not be able to escape.
"He is indeed Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe!" Just as Liu Mang was hesitating, a familiar voice came from behind.
"Marquis Wen, my lord!" All the civil and military men on the city wall saluted Lu Bu.
"Father-in-law!" Liu Mang also stepped forward to take advantage of Lu Bu's side and knelt down. This action made Xu Shu frown a little, but he didn't say anything.
"This person is indeed Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe!" Others may not know this Jia Xu, but Lu Bu has no reason not to know him. Lu Bu had met Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe when Dong Zhuo was still alive. Dong Zhuo's Shangshu Ling was one of the three lords and nine ministers, but this person rarely spoke. Dong Zhuo didn't ask him and Jia Xu didn't answer him. After a long time, he was naturally forgotten.
Later, Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo at the instigation of Wang Yun, and Jia Xu disappeared without a trace. Originally, the two should have had no intersection, but Wang Yun's order to punish Jia Xu forced Jia Xu to marry him. The limelight, the name of Jia Xu was on the order of punishing traitors, because Jia Xu really fought back in order to protect himself, and persuaded Li Jue and Guo Si to re-command the army to counterattack Chang'an. At that time, Li Jue and Guo Si had dozens of soldiers Most of Wan's soldiers and horses are Xiliang's elite, and they were gathered by two people because of Dong Zhuo's death, while Chang'an has only a few thousand garrison troops, and there are Lu Bu's men. If Guo Si and Li Jue attack the city, even if Sun Wu is alive It is also difficult to hold on, and it is difficult for Lu Bu to escape because of his family's problems. But this Jia Xu is worthy of being an old man. In order not to offend Lu Bu completely, he sent a letter to Lu Bu before the two attacked Chang'an. At that time, Lu Bu and Wang Yun also had conflicts. It is impossible for Lu Bu to bury himself for Wang Yun. , so he left with the opportunity, which allowed Lu Bu to leave Chang'an as soon as possible and avoid being besieged by Li Jue and Guo Si.
It was because of this that Lu Bu had a deep impression on Jia Xu. Although it was dark now, Lu Bu could see the scene below clearly by the light of the torch, and Jia Xu's face appeared in Lu Bu's eyes.
"Then father-in-law, Zhang Xiu's death?!" If Jia Xu is true, then what Jia Xu said later should also be true.
"I don't know if Zhang Xiu is dead or not, but I know that I didn't kill Zhang Xiu, and it's impossible for Zhang Xiu to die because of me." After hearing Chen Gong's plan, Lu Bu still held back Zhang Xiu. Yes, Lu Bu is still very confident in his martial arts. Although he gave Zhang Xiu countless wounds, none of them were fatal. With Zhang Xiu's ability, he can heal within a dozen or so days of rest.
But now that Zhang Xiu is dead, this has to make people think too much.
Before Lu Bu explained it clearly, Xu Shu's exclamation came from the other side, "Master, what are you doing?!" Liu Mang's figure had disappeared on the city wall! (to be continued..)
