Jia Xu knew very well that if Lu Ning was ready, he would have attacked Lao Cao long ago; the reason why he only accepted Sizhou was to ensure the safety of Yongzhou; if Lu Ning took Wancheng, then Lao Cao had no target to attack, and he was worried that the rear route would be cut off by Lu Ning, so he could only fight with Lu Ning; the purpose of leaving Wancheng was to make Lao Cao still hopeful and have an attack target; although Lao Cao did not dare to attack Lu Ning easily, he might attack Jingzhou!

Jia Xu said: "General Zhang, where Lu Ning wants to attack, it is not something that Lao Cao can control. Lao Cao's butt is blown by the sea breeze. Will you care about your life or death? Once Lu Ning takes down Hanzhong, he will send troops to Yizhou, followed by Wancheng. In this way, all the princes are surrounded by Lu Ning's army, and it is impossible to escape. Now is not the time for Lu Ning to attack Wancheng."

Zhang Xiu said: "Then we will reply to Dong Zhao tomorrow and let Lao Cao give up!"

Jia Xu said: "I will be there tomorrow, and I will hear what tricks Lao Cao's envoy has."

A few days later, Cao Cao's reply to Dong Zhao came, meaning that Zhang Xiu had to accept dispatch after surrendering, Wancheng sent troops to garrison again, and Zhang Xiu had to serve in Xuchang. At the same time, Cao Cao valued Jia Xu very much and hoped to convince Jia Xu to be successful.

During this period, Dong Zhao went to Jia Xu's mansion to ask for a meeting. Jia Xu thought about it but still did not meet Dong Zhao. This is different from history. If it were Jia Xu in history, he would definitely meet Cao Cao's messenger. But the situation is different now. Cao Cao's power is not the largest, and he is still facing attacks from Lu Ning's army at any time. Jia Xu knew very well.

Dong Zhao went to Zhang Xiu's official residence again to ask for a meeting. Zhang Xiu also asked someone to invite Jia Xu to meet Dong Zhao together. Dong Zhao explained Cao Cao's meaning to Zhang Xiu, hoping that Zhang Xiu could surrender to Lao Cao, otherwise Lu Ning's army would die and have no place to bury him when the attack was made.

When Zhang Xiu went to Xuchang, the people on earth knew that Cao Cao wanted to cut off his military power; how could Cao Cao say that he wanted to make Zhang Xiu the king independently and that he would waste food and grass? This kind of thing would only happen when his head was in water. To put it bluntly, it was spending money to help others raise their troops; Cao Cao was nervous about food and grass, so who else would he help!

Cao Cao lacked war horses. Although he bought thousands of war horses from Lu Ning at a high price, they were all war horses eliminated by Lu Ning; and Zhang Xiu's subordinates had 30,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and his combat power was absolutely strong. What Cao Cao cared about the most was Zhang Xiu's 30,000 iron cavalry; otherwise, Cao Cao would not have to send Dong Zhao to persuade Zhang Xiu to surrender.

Dong Zhao said: "General Zhang, my master attaches great importance to you and sincerely invites you. Don't miss the opportunity."

After listening to Jia Zhu's analysis, Zhang Xiu also understood in his heart that once the troops were taken away, he would be a lamb waiting to be slaughtered when he arrived in Xuchang; especially the 5,000 troops that had also wiped out Xiahou Yuan would be retaliated by Xiahou Yuan at any time, which is certain.

Zhang Xiu said: "Gongren, you are too unauthentic. Why did Lao Cao value me very much? In fact, he was interested in the 30,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry in my hand! I have a 50,000 army in Wancheng. With the solid walls of Wancheng, I don't worry about being attacked. I also fooled me, Lu Ning didn't dare to attack Lao Cao. Then Sizhou was not Lao Cao's territory?"

After hearing this, Dong Zhao was speechless and it was really hard to return the signing. Indeed, when Lu Ning attacked Sizhou, Lao Cao had no reaction, and basically did not send reinforcements, which made Xiahou Yuan captured. Of course, Lao Cao was also confused by several armies of Lu Ning. Zhang He and Xu Huang conducted large-scale exercises on the border of Cao Cao, which scared Lao Cao so much that he was ready to fight. When Lao Cao reinforced, Zhang He and Xu Huang's army marched again and mobilized Lao Cao's army to the point of wandering around. Zhang He and Xu Huang's soldiers were all war horses and were very mobile. Lao Cao's army was indeed infantry, so how could it keep up! In the end, Sizhou was captured by Taishi Ci at lightning speed.

Dong Zhao said: "General Zhang, after Sizhou was burned by Dong Zhuo, it was deserted within 200 miles. Our master didn't want it at first, so he took the initiative to give up Sizhou."

Zhang Xiu laughed and said, "Gongren, you are so good at fooling around. Xiahou Yuan was captured by Taishici. Why did you say that you would give up Sizhou voluntarily? Is there anyone you gave up like that?"

Jia Xu said lightly: "It seems that Cao Cao's army was mobilized by Lu Ning's army at that time, and he ran back and forth on the road for many days!"

At this moment, the guards came to report: "General, Lu Ning's messenger Ju Su asked for a visit?"

Zhang Xiu was stunned after hearing this! He had just been driven to Wancheng by Lu Ning, and now he sent a messenger. What does this mean? I am worried that there is no place to vent my anger. Since Lu Ning still dares to send someone to ask for a meeting.

Zhang Xiu shouted loudly: "Press up Lu Ning's messenger Ju Su."

The guard said, "Yes!"

Ju Su was suppressed by Zhang Xiu's guards, which made Ju Su very depressed. What's this? Why did you show off your power as soon as you meet? Are I, Ju Su, scared?

Ju Su held his head up and didn't say hello, and looked arrogant and stared at Zhang Xiu with his eyes tightly.

After a while, Ju Su laughed wildly and said, "General Zhang, do you dare to cut me down?"

When Zhang Xiu heard this, he was so angry that he immediately shouted: "Drag it down and chop it!"

The guards just moved, and Jia Xu said, "Slowly! Untie Mr. Ju first."

Zhang Xiu said: "Wenhe, what's there to say? We have a great grudge with Lu Ning. I can't find anyone to vent my anger!"

Jia Xu said: "General Zhang, if the two countries have no war, no matter how great the envoy is, they cannot abuse the messenger. If they kill the messenger, they will not say that Lu Ning will not let you go, even the people in the world will say you, how can you do anything in the future?"

Ju Su finally met Jia Xu, glanced at him, saluted Jia Xu, and then said, "Is it Mr. Jia?"

After returning the gift, Jia Xu said, "I am Jia Xu, Jia Wenhe."

Ju Shu said: "Mr. Jia, you are a talented person. My lord has a very high opinion of you. He said that Mr. Jia is one of the six top strategists in the world. He is unmatched in everything he has learned. I feel honored to see him today!"

Ju Su Bang was an arrogant person and did not take others seriously. Ju Su was one of the two famous scholars in Jizhou. His talent was also outstanding, especially his overall view. When he was under Lu Ning, he often communicated with Guan Ning, Cai Yong, Lu Zhi, Guo Jia and others, and only then did he realize that there were so many talented people in the world, and gradually restrained his arrogance.

When chatting with Lu Ning, Ju Su also heard of the six top strategists in the world. Although Lu Ning did not say it all, Jia Xu was indeed one of them. Ju Su was clear about this, so Ju Su saluted Jia Xu. After all, Lu Ning had a correct understanding of talents and basically did not have much difference.

Jia Xu was stunned after hearing this! Lu Ning had a high opinion of himself. How could Lu Ning understand him before? This really puzzled Jia Xu; although Jia Xu was very confident, he might be regarded as the six top strategists in the world by Lu Hua, which is a great honor; Lu Ning is the strongest prince in the world, and his achievements are unmatched, especially in foreign combat, and he has achieved a series of achievements. Lu Ning, who can lead his subordinates to eliminate the Xianbei tribe, the Huns and other foreign barbarians, must have no doubts about this, Jia Xu knew this in his heart.
