Chapter 535 Zhang He and Cao Zhang take turns
An old and deafening voice came from Jia Xu's mouth, and then continued to resound in the hall.
Can make Jia Xu so excited, it seems that the current situation is indeed not very good for Cao Wei.
When the word "Jieting" was repeated in Jia Xu's mouth, the eyes of all the officials in the hall focused on a certain dot on the map behind Cao Rui.
That small spot is exactly where the place name is Jieting.
Seeing that Jia Xu was too excited, Cao Rui was afraid that Jia Xu, who was already weak, would lose his breath due to too much excitement, so he got up and stroked Jia Xu's back to calm down.
But Jia Xu declined Cao Rui's kindness.
At this moment, no matter how steady he is, he can no longer keep a low profile.
Jia Xu stood up tremblingly, then looked at Wang Ling with a pair of cloudy eyes and said:
"Your policy is not in line with the current situation."
When Jia Xu opened his mouth, he disapproved of Wang Ling's strategy.
Although Jia Xu's eyes are cloudy, there is a bit of sharpness hidden in Jia Xu's cloudy eyes.
When facing Jia Xu's gaze, even Sima Yi would be shocked, let alone Wang Ling?
Under Jia Xu's gaze, Wang Ling no longer regarded the man in front of him as a notorious villain, but instead remembered the reason why Jia Xu became notorious.
In the chaos of Li and Guo, Wancheng was attacked and killed, and the books were wiped out, and heirs were established with one word.
Each of these entries represents Jia Xu's ingenious strategies that have been presented to the world in the past.
And behind every clever strategy, there is buried the blood of countless people, and even Jia Xu single-handedly buried the hope of the great man's rebirth.
Viciousness and precision are Jia Xu's most fair evaluations in Minister Cao Wei's mind.
Now when such a person stared at him, even if Jia Xu didn't show malice on purpose, Wang Ling still felt a chill in his heart.
Under the unspeakable emotions, Wang Ling subconsciously bowed to Jia Xu: "What good words does the Taiwei have, I would like to hear the details."
Regardless of how much Wang Ling, who came from a high family, privately looked down on Jia Xu in the past, Jia Xu's achievements for the Wei Dynasty and his current status in the Wei Dynasty were far above Wang Ling.
This is why Wang Ling dared to be disrespectful to Jia Xu on the surface.
After hearing Wang Ling's words, Jia Xu immediately expressed his thoughts:
"Yan Yun said just now that we must first gather a large army to defeat Mi Yang's troops, and then go to rescue Longyou. If our army does this, then it will be exactly what the bandit army wanted.
Mi Yang is exceptionally intelligent, although he doesn't have many troops at the moment, but when our army sent troops to attack that time before, how could he have more troops in his hands?
But when has our army ever won? "
When Jia Xu said these words, not only Wang Ling was speechless, but even all the officials in the palace couldn't think of refuting Jia Xu's words.
Facts speak louder than words.
Seeing that all the officials in the hall were silent, Jia Xu continued to say:
"At the beginning, when our army's morale was high and there were many troops, we couldn't defeat Mi Yang quickly, let alone now that Mi Yang is prestige in Guanzhong and relying on elite soldiers to occupy the main road?
Even though Mi Yang sees that our army is strong and temporarily retreats from Xiegukou, but with the existence of the ramp, Mi Yang can lead his army out of Xiegukou at any time.
Will our army still go north by then? "
"The reason why Mi Yang is willing to be a suspicious army is, first, to attack the west and make Longyou empty, and second, to make our army extremely afraid of him, and focus all attention on him, so as to buy time for Liu Bei."
What Jia Xu said made all the officials look at each other in blank dismay.
They hadn't thought of this before.
When most of the Wei officials in the hall heard that Mi Yang was outside Chang'an, their subconscious reaction was to quickly get rid of Mi Yang.
But they never thought that this is exactly what Mi Yang wanted them to do.
It is very difficult for an army of [-] to attack Chang'an.
But if you only use the advantage of location to hold the camp, it will be very easy to do for a period of time.
After clarifying Mi Yang's intentions, Jia Xu came to the map with a stick, pointed to the street pavilion on the map and said:
"Since the bandit army has used its main force to attack Longyou, it is inevitable that the bandit army will want to annex the entire Liangzhou.
Because the key to Liangzhou lies in Longyou.
But right now the key to Longyou lies in Jieting! "
Speaking of this, Jia Xu's tone became more and more serious.
"Jieting is located under the Longshan Mountains, although the terrain is not steep, it is not an easy place to attack either.
If our army wants to rescue Longyou, we can only send troops from Chang'an and pass through Chencang to enter Longyou.
But now the main force of the rebel army is in Tianshui County. If our army enters Longyou from the road of Tianshui County via Chencang, the grain road will be easily attacked by Liu Bei's army.
Therefore, if our army wants to successfully send reinforcements to Longyou, we must urgently order a general to rush from Chang'an to Chencang, and then turn from Chencang to cross the Longshan Mountain Road and enter Longyou Middle.
In order to achieve this goal, the street pavilion must not allow any mistakes. "
"As long as our army can seize the street pavilion first, then the bandit army will not be able to block our army's access to Longyou, and the second Longyou County will be more determined to defend the city when they know that reinforcements are coming.
Only then will our army have enough time to continuously mobilize military and material resources to fight the bandit army in Longyou.
If our army is wasted, let the bandit army send a general to guard Jieting in advance, not only will our reinforcements not be able to enter Longyou, but within a few months, the second county of Longyou will definitely be captured by the bandit army.
The most urgent thing for our army to do now is not to let the bandit army completely blockade Longyou.
Otherwise, by that time, our army's general situation in Liangzhou will have gone. "
Finally, Jia Xu ended his speech with a particularly dignified tone.
And just after Jia Xu's speech was over, all the Wei officials in the hall looked at the street pavilion on the map, with pensive expressions on their faces.
Wei Chen, who was able to participate in the parliament, may not necessarily be a person who is proficient in military strategy, but he still has basic judgment.
Jia Xu has spoken so clearly, coupled with the clear topography drawn on the map, many of you Weichen have begun to accept Jia Xu's strategy.
After all, Jia Xu's bad reputation is due to his bad reputation, but his wisdom has never been denied.
However, Wang Ling, who knew the military strategy, inevitably had a question in his heart.
Wang Ling bowed to Jia Xu and asked, "What if the bandits occupy the street pavilion first?"
When Wang Ling asked this question, Jia Xu's eyes inevitably flashed a trace of worry.
That was indeed what worried him the most.
Although he can accurately see that Jieting is the key to reversing the entire Longyou battlefield, but he can see it. Could it be that Liu Bei can't see it?
Even if Liu Bei neglected this point, Mi Yang would definitely remind Liu Bei of the vital points of Jieting Yidi before the war.
And most importantly, no matter what kind of good plan he said today, his good plan is essentially just a way to make up for it.
Because the Han army had taken the initiative in the entire Longyou battlefield when the Han army was attacking the west.
This means that it is very likely that the Han army will arrive at Jieting one step ahead of time to deploy defenses.
This is very unfavorable to Wei Jun in terms of the current battlefield situation.
When Wang Ling uttered the guess that this might become a reality, all the ministers in the hall were astonished when they realized it.
They originally thought that the situation on the battlefield might be reversed, but now that they think about it carefully, it seems that the Han army is firmly in the upper hand.
Facing Wang Ling's question, Jia Xu didn't know how to answer it for a while.
After all, he is just a counselor, and making suggestions is what he is good at, but it is not what he should do to make a final decision.
Fortunately, there was a wise young master standing behind Jia Xu at this time.
After Cao Rui heard Wang Ling's question and saw that Wang Ling's question caused many ministers in the hall to change their expressions, he stood up directly, stepped over Jia Xu's old and stooped body, and came in front of the ministers.
"When the country is in crisis, who cares whether the enemy seizes the street pavilion first?
It would be best if our army can seize the street pavilion first, if not. "
Having said that, Cao Rui paused for a moment.
But soon a decisive decision came from his mouth:
"Then fight! Gather all the strength of our country now, and take back Jieting no matter what!"
After saying this, Cao Rui couldn't help but have objections from the ministers, so he directly issued an edict:
"Planned move: Add Zhang He, the general of the left, as the general who conquers the west, and order him to lead the troops of the headquarters to rush to the rescue of Jieting!
In addition, send people to Huainan and Hebei to issue conscription documents, and let the generals at all levels in the two places lead their troops to support Chang'an! "
Zhang He was originally under the command of Cao Zhen and was responsible for guarding the land of Hexi.
But after the Battle of Xiangfan, Cao Pi transferred him to Wancheng, and was transferred to Wancheng with Zhang Xi, as well as the elite tens of thousands of Guanzhong cavalry.
Cao Rui knew about this, and he also knew that if he wanted to make preparations for storming Jieting, he had to send a general to go there.
Apart from the clansmen of Cao Wei, Zhang Yun is the only one who can be called an admiral among foreign surnames.
Cao Rui's edict above reveals his determination to win Jieting and protect Longyou.
But what the officials in the palace didn't expect was that Cao Rui's determination was far more than that.
"Send someone to Rencheng to urgently summon the king of Rencheng to the capital!"
After hearing Cao Rui's edict, all the officials in the hall looked up at Cao Rui in surprise.
The king of Rencheng mentioned by Cao Rui refers to Cao Zhang.
Zhang He is currently the first of Cao Wei's generals with foreign surnames, but Cao Wei has always put his clan first in his generals.
That is to say, in recent years, Cao Weizong's relatives and generals have withered one after another, which gave a group of generals with different surnames a chance to be active.
And among the existing famous generals of the Cao Wei clan, who has the highest prestige?
Cao Zhen was the well-deserved No.1 among the clansmen of Cao Wei before.
But after Cao Zhen's defeat, this fact has quietly changed.
In the minds of the world at the moment, Cao Zhang is the No.1 general of Cao Wei's clan.
Even before Cao Zhen's defeat, Cao Zhang's prestige was only slightly inferior to Cao Zhen's.
Not to mention, in fact, according to Cao Cao's arrangements before his death, Cao Zhang was the top leader in the Guanzhong area!
When the situation is unfavorable, the stability of people's hearts is especially important.
Although in recent years, Cao Zhang has been living idle in Rencheng, but he is only living idle, not dead.
Leaving aside other places, Cao Zhang is very prestigious in Guanzhong alone.
And now he is the only one among the famous generals of Cao Wei clan who has not been defeated by Mi Yang.
All the ministers knew that Cao Rui wanted to call Cao Zhang to Luoyang urgently, probably for the purpose of letting Cao Zhang play in the Guanzhong battlefield, and this was also for the purpose of stabilizing people's hearts.
But they knew better why Cao Zhang was frozen by Cao Pi!
Isn't it because Cao Zhang's prestige in Guanzhong is so great that Cao Pi feels threatened?
So they never expected that at this time, Cao Rui would boldly use Cao Zhang to stabilize the situation.
Does His Majesty know that the prince is doing this?
While the ministers looked at Cao Rui with surprised eyes, Cao Rui was not affected by the surprised and doubtful eyes of the ministers and changed his mind.
The father is afraid of the emperor's uncle, but he doesn't.
Because from the moment he became the prince of Cao Wei, he firmly believed that he could firmly control everyone in Cao Wei.
Whether it's Jia Xu, who is cunning and calculating, or Cao Zhang, who is outstanding in military power, they are just a tool for him to complete his imperial hegemony.
Since it is a tool, why be afraid of it?
Cao Rui's self-confidence comes from his own intelligence, and also from Cao Cao's teaching to him back then.
And with Cao Rui's calm and confident temperament exuding, the officials in the palace looked at Cao Rui in a daze.
They seemed to see a familiar figure on Cao Rui.
That familiar figure made the panic in the hearts of the officials gradually calm down.
Facing the gazes of the officials, Cao Rui finally said:
"Liu Bei could rely on the mountains to defend, but now he takes the initiative to attack, and he is greedy for the three counties. He only knows how to attack but does not know how to retreat. He will definitely be defeated."
After saying these prophetic words, Cao Rui left the Chaoyang Palace.
Looking at Cao Rui's leaving figure, Jia Xu's ravaged face revealed a slight smile.
If Cao Pi was in charge today, what would his reaction be when he heard the bad news?
Furious, and then hurriedly begged the ministers for advice, and finally fell into many strategies, unable to make a decisive decision.
But none of these emotions appeared on Cao Rui.
Cao Rui just vented his anger at the beginning, and then quickly and calmly responded to the tricky battle.
It is natural to be angry, but it is the good quality of an emperor to learn to control his anger.
Obviously Cao Rui has this quality.
And how old is Cao Rui this year?
After thinking of Cao Rui's age, Jia Xu thought of Mi Yang's age.
Mi Yang is very young, and Cao Rui is equally young. They will definitely be each other's best opponents in the future.
In addition, there is also a sophisticated Sun Quan.
Will Sun Quan always submit to Liu Bei?
Maybe Sun Quan would be afraid of Liu Bei, but what if Liu Bei died?
Thinking of this, Jia Xu, who had guessed in his heart, couldn't help coughing violently.
The great river has been flowing eastward for many years, and the blood of many heroes has been sprinkled in it, but it has not been able to wash away the desires in the hearts of the world.
As long as the desire is in one day, how can the world be so easy to return to unity?
Back then in Guanzhong, he buried the hope of the great man's rebirth with his own hands.
Now also in Guanzhong, there is a young man who wants to rebuild the dilapidated Han community with his own efforts.
But can he do it?
Maybe this is why God let him live to this day.
Let him see with his own eyes, whether he will become a sinner through the ages, or a hero who conforms to the current situation!
After Cao Rui disbanded the court meeting, the three edicts issued by Cao Rui at the court meeting were soon turned into documents and sent to various places.
At the same time, Liu Bei, who led his army to station in Tianshui County, also held a meeting in high spirits.
This council was discussing who should be sent to guard the kiosk.
Chapter 1, there is another chapter in the early morning.
