Chapter 219 Xi Yu leads his troops to conquer Qingzhou, and Cao Cao wants to conquer it himself

Seeing that Xi Yu seemed to be shaken, Jia Xu continued, "Sir, this matter has little to do with me. At most, I am just the dean of the design institute..."

"However, this matter is of great concern to you. Even if the battle is not defeated, even if it is a stalemate, in the end you will have to personally lead the troops to fight..."

Hearing Jia Xu's words, Xi Yu thought to himself: This old man is really good at admonishing, and he gets to the point in every sentence.

However, this puts Xi Yu in a dilemma.

"According to what you said, I can't refuse the offer of commanding the troops..."

Seeing that Xiyu was really shaken,

Jia Xu was overjoyed and immediately pursued the victory. He said to Xi Yu, "Sir, you can rest assured about commanding the troops. The strategy formulated by the design institute this time will never let you go into battle to kill the enemy in person! I can guarantee you this.

!”

Hearing this, Xi Yu said in a deep voice, "Look at your posture, I can't do anything if I don't go..."

Jia Xu had already seen through Xi Yu. It was not that the Xi Yu could not bear the bloody battles on the battlefield, nor did he believe in the theory of cause and effect and reincarnation. After all, there were no immortals on the battlefield.

Jia Xu has long understood that the fundamental problem is that their opera master is really lazy and doesn't want to move.

In Jia Xu's opinion, as long as Lord Xi is willing to move, once he trains day and night, Qingzhou Lu Bu is no match for Lord Xi.

Therefore, when Xi Yu finally relented, Jia Xu immediately said, "In this case, my lord, you have agreed to lead the troops in battle. Then we can agree that you must not go back on your word. After all, with your status and status, if you don't keep your word, you still can't.

How do you convince us, sir?"

Seeing this, Xi Yu could no longer refuse, so he had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Jia Xu immediately gave Zhuge Liang and Guo Jia a secret wink, and the three of them immediately left the government office.

After arriving at the door of the Yamen Office, Jia Xu's face was full of pride. He even extended his hand to Zhuge Liang and Guo Jia and said, "Two of you, please give me the money quickly. Don't cheat!"

Zhuge Liang and Guo Jia shook their heads, unable to show off, and then took out several pieces of neatly folded fine silk cloth.

Such things are more precious than gold in the eyes of Confucian scholars and literati.

Jia Xu took it and put it directly into his pocket, feeling very proud.

Zhuge Liang felt a little helpless, "Hey, I'm still too young..."

Guo Jiake couldn't figure it out and asked in confusion, "What is happening today? In the past, the lord could not persuade Mr. Xi, so why is Mr. Xi willing to accept Jia Xu's advice today?"

At this time, Zhuge Liang and Guo Jia kept their promise and gave the silk cloth to Jia Xu. This process was clearly seen by Zhao Yun on the side.

"Two of you, did our master Xi accept it?" Zhao Yun asked doubtfully.

Zhuge Liang, Jia Xu and others nodded immediately, and Zhao Yun trembled all over and almost fell to the ground.

Guo Jia asked, "Haha, Zilong, are you too shocked?"

Zhao Yun said to Jia Xu, "I'm really shocked. I really want to know how the master advised you. The last time you went to the battlefield was nearly two years ago..."

Jia Xu walked to the door of the front yard and said calmly, "Today is different from the past. Your Excellency treats others with kindness, but what about the soldiers and horses under his command!"

"Everyone, please think about it carefully. Although Mr. Xi is smart and wise, he is not a god. The reason why he did not command soldiers before is mainly because the lord has the power of life and death. But now, as the shepherd of Xuzhou, he has 100,000 soldiers and horses under his command. Opportunities

They are all his soldiers."

"If you hold life and death in your own hands, you will definitely know that you have the responsibility to reduce the loss of troops and horses. In this way, your Excellency will find it difficult to refuse."

Jia Xu paused and continued, "Nowadays, the Qingzhou soldiers under your command are stronger than the Danyang soldiers and the Wancheng soldiers. Moreover, your Qingzhou soldiers are stronger than the Danyang soldiers and the Wancheng soldiers.

Naturally, they are stronger than Yuan Shao's Jizhou soldiers."

"As for Lu Bu's Bingzhou Tigers and Wolfs, they have been away for many years and have grown in age. They are all very exhausted, and their combat capabilities are seriously lacking."

"You know, maybe the military units in these places have been adjusted a long time ago. If that is the case, Master Xi only needs to sit in the army and does not need to go into battle to kill the enemy. This matter will be enough to inspire the blood of the Qingzhou soldiers."

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang and Guo Jia looked at each other and both nodded.

So what exactly is this character's harm...

"How is this character?"

Zhao Yun smiled and said: "This character is very good. It is for this reason that we are willing to follow Master Xi to the death and do all the hard work for you."

"Okay..." Guo Jia nodded approvingly.

The combat policy and actions are properly arranged, and the food and grass are sufficient. How to march and fight is now the method of a group of counselors.

…

198, winter.

The snow is falling heavily, and the white bike is walking through the mountains of Xuzhou.

The leader of this army is General Huang, who has a beard all over his mouth.

Huang Zhong's beard now covers the corners of his mouth and chin, and he has grown a year older, but his muscle lines are getting better every year.

Huang Zhong understood very well that this was Yu Xiyu's training system. As long as you exercise hard, it is very easy to grow some muscles.

As for the white-riding horses, they can breathe for a long time and gallop in the ice and snow without much hard work.

This time it all benefited from the "Tai Chi method".

Today, there are two sets of physical fitness martial arts in Xi Yu's military camp, one of which is Tai Chi and the other is Wu Qin Xi.

The 500 soldiers and horses in the supply camp, and even the 2,500 Qingzhou soldiers who first came under the command of Master Gui Shunxi, are now able to skillfully practice "Tai Chi".

But none of the tens of thousands of troops who joined later have learned it yet.

At this moment, the place where Bai Qi arrived was in the mountains near Qingzhou. Their apparent purpose of coming here was to survey all the details and investigate whether the winter snow period would have any impact, and if so, what impact it would have.

Now, a month passes quickly, and the terrain changes with the changes of the seasons.

This place is Daxian Mountain.

Qingzhou's border territories are in mutual defense. Qingzhou defends Jizhou, and Yanzhou and Xuzhou defend Qingzhou. Therefore, in terms of geographical location, Xiyu has a unique advantage.

Jizhou is located in the Great Plains of Hebei Province. It has the strongest economic strength and the largest population, so that the two natural dangers of the Yellow River and Jishui River were taken away by Qingzhou.

Because Xuzhou and Yanzhou were not as wealthy as Qingzhou, Qinnan's dangerous Daxian Mountain in the south of the Qingzhou Peninsula, which was "high and narrow and could only accommodate a single track," fell into the hands of Xuzhou, while Shigandang in the west of Mount Tai fell into the hands of Yanzhou.

Xi Yu finally chose to camp in Daxian Mountain.

Because this is the Taishan Mountains, coupled with the natural dangers of the Daxian Mountains, the two become a natural barrier against Qingzhou's invasion.

What's more important is that Xi Yu has occupied the only exit from the natural danger.

Before Xi Yu's arrival, this place was originally guarded by Zang Ba. As soon as Zang Ba heard about Xi Yu's arrival, he immediately led his troops there in person, hoping to fight Xi Yu.

Zangba was originally a cavalry captain under Tao Qian, responsible for recruiting soldiers to fight against the Yellow Turban Army.

After Xuzhou was acquired by Cao Cao, the Tibetan tyrants, Sun Guan, Yin Li and others gathered troops and garrisoned in Kaiyang, dominating one side and not participating in any other princely groups.

Xi Yu had already known about Zang Ba. After arriving in Kaiyang, he led Dian Wei, Zhao Yun and other 500 heavy troops to the camp where Zang Ba was located.

In just one stick of incense, the Tibetan hegemon surrendered and surrendered all military power near Daxian Mountain, not even daring to have the slightest intention of rebellion.

At this moment, in Kaiyang Yamen, Zang Ba toasted Xi Yu and said with a big smile, "Haha, your lord is indeed an extraordinary person. I, Zang Ba, will definitely follow you to the death in the future. Sir, you are my lord of Zang Ba!"

But Zangba's smile was very stiff.

Before this, Zangba thought that Xi Yu was just a civil servant and could not be as powerful as the legend said, so he didn't care about the rumors about Xi Yu. When talking to Xi Yu, his tone was very domineering and rude.

Precisely because Zang Ba despised Xi Yu, he was beaten severely by a guard general next to Xi Yu without even saying a few words.

Xi Yu personally led the troops this time, so he naturally wanted to establish his authority. How could Xi Yu forgive Zang Ba's rudeness? He also gave Zang Ba a violent attack.

That domineering aura directly shattered Zangba's nose bones. Zangba tried to protect his nose with his hands, but his hands were almost thrown away by Xi Yu.

At the end, Xi Yu directly lifted the heavy Si Ding with one hand, stood in front of him unwaveringly, and said in a deep voice, "Zangba, do you surrender to me?"

Zang Ba was frightened at that time. If he was hit by the cauldron, he would definitely be shattered to pieces. Now that things have come to this, how could Zang Ba not think about it?

At this time, Zang Ba poured a full cup of wine for Xi Yu, but he felt that his nose hurt terribly. He toasted to Xi Yu respectfully and said, "Sir, I have been stationed in Kaiyang for a long time. Qingzhou Lu Bu has tried to break through Daxian Mountain many times.

, invaded the land of Xuzhou, but I successfully blocked them all."

"With such a natural danger, I will definitely stop Lu Bu...hiss..."

Suddenly, Zang Ba felt an unbearable pain in his nose. Soon, the severe pain swept through his whole body. Zang Ba's shoulders couldn't help but tremble, and he felt mucus flowing from his nose...

Xi Yu didn't pay attention to Zang Ba at this time, but ate the food happily. The posture of sitting astride the horse with the golden sword was not the temperament of a Confucian scholar at all.

After Xi Yu swallowed a big mouthful of rice, he said to Zang Ba, "You stationed in Kaiyang to resist Lu Bu in Qingzhou. Of course you have worked hard and made great achievements. Now I will make you the Prime Minister of Langya State and lead all the lands of Langya State."

"When I capture Qingzhou, I will immediately ask for merit and rewards for you. It will not be difficult to get promoted to an official position."

Hearing this, Zang Ba was flattered and very excited. He bowed deeply to Xi Yu and sniffed hard, "Ah... Sir... Thank you, Sir!!"

After saying this, Zang Ba secretly glanced at the mighty general in front of Xi Yu. He was very frightened and amazed in his heart: I heard that the stability of Xuzhou in the past few years was all due to Master Xi's implementation of benevolent policies.

If we implement the policy of benevolent government and win the hearts of the people, they will naturally live and work in peace and contentment. Master Xi will be a wise lord who respects the people's wishes. If I sincerely surrender to him, I will be on the right path.

Rather than the way of a king.
