At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Zhang Ji and Duan Yan felt that what Jia Xu said made sense. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Li Jue and Guo Si were settled in this way, and they were asked to guard Guo Peng with their respective thousands of troops as the first line of defense.

The eldest of the two was unhappy, and the eldest was afraid, but they had no choice but to accept it.

From a person in power who was astounded by the situation plummeted to a scumbag, no one would be able to bear it. The gap is too great, especially Li Jue and Guo Si, who have held the highest authority, are just a wave of operations. I was cheated, so I got to where I am today.

Now, Li Jue and Guo Si want to regret as much as they want.

Chapter 519 510 Nine They Are Not Reconciled

After their status plummeted, Li Jue and Guo Si often got together to drink, chat, and talk about the past.

As they talked, they could grit their teeth and hate Duan Yan, Zhang Ji, and Jia Xu by the way.

However, it seems that Jia Xu did not position himself as their enemy. Not only did he not avoid them, but he often sent people to send some money, food and drinks after they were in trouble.

Over time, Li Jue and Guo Si stopped hating Jia Xu.

But they really never thought that Jia Xu would find them again for cooperation.

It is still necessary to discuss the matter of fighting against Duan Yan and Zhang Ji.

"Duan Yan and Zhang Ji are really too much. They just took the emperor to order the princes to do things, but they are not satisfied, and they want to be the king. Not only that, but also bring disasters to the world. The world is now in chaos. Isn't it true? Didn't they cause it?!"

Jia Xu drank a pot of wine, and loudly accused Duan Yan and Zhang Ji in front of Li Jue and Guo Si.

Of course, Li Jue and Guo Si are also clear about this matter. They also heard about Jia Xu's conflict with Duan Yan and Zhang Ji on this matter. The rooms stand side by side, and the world is in chaos.

It was a mess.

To be honest, besides a bit of envy, Li Jue and Guo Si are mostly gloating.

After this period of ups and downs, these two people instead saw some things, saw the unusualness of this world, and saw that the pursuit of supremacy is not so simple and easy. If you are not careful, you will face crisis.

Isn't this the crisis right now?

Before, they operated indiscriminately and discarded good cards, but they only disrupted Kansai, not the world. Even though the world is stable, some people still have illusions about the Han Dynasty.

Duan Yan and Zhang Ji directly messed up the world this time, abolished the Han Dynasty, and stunned everyone, much more ruthless than them.

"Wenhe, do you think it's better when the two of us are generals, or when the two of us are kings?"

Li Jue looked at Jia Xu with a playful expression on his face, gloating in his heart.

Guo Bang is also gloating.

Jia Xu drank a few glasses of wine and smiled wryly.

"Are you still mocking me? Didn't the initiative rest in my hands? Is it something I can decide? Did I have military power at the time? Didn't I try my best to dissuade you?"

After thinking about it, Li Jue and Guo Si were right.

It is true that Jia Xu tried his best to stop what happened at the beginning, but he failed. In the end, Jia Xu cannot be blamed, it can only be said that they were inflated at the time.

It swells a lot.

But, it is true that they are unwilling, they have imagined countless times, if they had maintained restraint at the beginning, would the situation be like this today?

Will they be reduced to a school lieutenant today and be used as cannon fodder by Duan Yao and Zhang Ji?

That's hard to say.

So, they are not reconciled, really not reconciled.

Having said that, what if you are not reconciled?Could it be possible to lead the troops back, annihilate Duan Yan and Zhang Ji's troops, and regain the emperor?

That's a little too difficult, isn't it?

"Up to now, there is really nothing to talk about. We are just school captains. The two of us together have less than three thousand troops. Duan Yan and Zhang Ji can easily crush us to death. At this point, we can only let them manipulate us."

Guo Bang drank a few glasses of wine on his own, with a look of despair on his face.

The same is true for Li Jue, his face is full of depression and helplessness.

Seeing the two people who were in a hurry in the past reduced to this point, Jia Xu felt a little more emotional, but this was not his goal.

"It is true that Zhang Ji and Duan Yan have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, but now the main force has already resisted Ma Teng and Han Sui in Chang'an. Ma Teng and Han Sui attacked fiercely, and now there are less than [-] soldiers and horses staying in the Hongnong area. "

Jia Xu drank another glass of wine and looked at Zhang Ji and Duan Yao.

The two also looked at Jia Xu, wondering what Jia Xu meant.

"Wenhe, what do you mean..."

"Duan Yan and Zhang Ji have gone too far. I can't tolerate them continuing to cholera the world and ruining the way for us Liangzhou people. Now Zhang Ji is in Chang'an. Although Duan Yan stays in Hongnong, the entire Hongnong garrison Ma was only in his early three thousand, and other troops were stationed at various passes to guard against Guo Zifeng.

Before Guo Zifeng’s Northern Expedition to Xianbei, Duan Yan and Zhang Ji dispatched troops to Chang’an to defend the city without worry, so the garrison forces in the Hongnong area were scattered and insufficient. As long as you want, I can help you get back the original things, and you can become generals again ! "

Li Jue and Guo Si looked at each other, and then obviously showed suspicion.

"Wenhe, are you serious?"

"Really! It's absolutely true! But you have to promise me that you will never do the same thing as Zhang Ji and Duan Yao, and you are not allowed to feudalize the state! If you agree, I will assist you. If you don't agree, this matter will be dropped." .”

Li Jue and Guo Si looked at each other and remained silent for a long time.

This incident happened before Guo Peng's crusade against Xianbei and his return to Xuzhou.

Soon, Guo Peng sent people to the court to announce the Xuzhou Incident, so the court learned that Guo Peng sent troops south to Xuzhou and learned of the turmoil in Xuzhou.

After Duan Yan heard about it, he was very pleasantly surprised, thinking that Guo Peng would not have the energy to open up two battlefields at the same time, so he mobilized [-] soldiers and horses to support Chang'an guarded by Zhang Ji, and he did his best to provide him with food and logistics.

During the period of internal and external troubles, Duan Yan and Zhang Ji also ignored the little conflicts between each other, put aside their previous suspicions and worked together, no matter what, let's get over the immediate catastrophe first.

Under such circumstances, Jia Xu seized the opportunity, and with the assistance of Linzi Ying, which had been fully infiltrated, reached an agreement with Li Jue and Guo Si, using him as an internal response to obtain Hong Kong for Li Jue and Guo Si. The control of the agricultural city, and then the control of the emperor.

Establish Liangzhou Central Government version 4.0.

Li Jue and Guo Si's ambitions that had been suppressed for many days broke out again, and their previous ambitions returned again. Under the guidance of Jia Xu and the internal support of the Linzi Camp, they broke up the army into pieces and arrived in Hong Kong in batches from the Luoyang area. rural suburbs.

With the help of Jia Xu, Li Jue and Guo Si also changed their faces and entered Hongnong City, preparing to launch a brand new mutiny.

As for this, Duan Yan, who was tired of coping with the Chang'an war, never noticed it.

Naturally, his subordinates never found out.

In the first ten days of November, the weather turned severe and winter officially came. The battle of Chang'an became more and more difficult to fight.

Zhang Ji once wanted peace talks, but was dissuaded by Jia Xu. Jia Xu said that he must not show weakness at this time, otherwise once the Ma-Han coalition forces see Zhang Ji's weakness, they will definitely make progress.

Zhang Ji felt that it made sense, so he gritted his teeth and transferred a thousand soldiers from Hongnong to Chang'an to deal with the fierce offensive of the Ma-Korean coalition forces. He also repeatedly launched strategic counterattacks and fought counterattacks.

Speaking of which, Zhang Ji really felt that Ma Teng's son, Ma Chao, was really vigorous.

The young Ma Chao didn't care about life and death at all, let alone lead the team to charge into the battle, he actually led the team to attack the city, climbed the ladder with a big shield, climbed the city wall to fight to the death, and was covered in blood.

Zhang Ji was terrified by Ma Chao's ferocity, and the three generals jointly attacked Ma Chao, but they couldn't do anything to Ma Chao. If it weren't for the fact that the Ma-Korean coalition forces did not have the upper hand on the tower, Chang'an City might have been taken away.

Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, these young people are really ruthless.

Chapter 520. 520 The more chaotic this world is, the happier I am!

Faced with such an attack and the large number of non-combat attrition caused by the severe cold, Zhang Ji had no choice but to constantly transfer troops from Hongnong to replenish his strength.

Of course, the Ma-Korean coalition forces are not much better.

It's just that there are more people and stronger combat effectiveness, and the Qianghu people in the army are also more resistant to the cold.

Hongnong's city defense force is getting weaker and weaker, which in Jia Xu's view is a better and better opportunity, so Jia Xu and Yan Rou discussed it and decided to take action.

"This time, there is really no turning back, Wen Hegong, have you made your decision?"

The night before the action, Yan Rou had a secret meeting with Jia Xu, and Yan Rou asked Jia Xu for the last time.

Jia Xu smiled.

"My family has been sent away. Now, how can I turn back? Even if I abandon this body, I still have to do this for Duke Wei. I only hope that Duke Wei will take good care of my family."

The matter has come to this point, Jia Xu has been deeply involved in this matter, and there is no possibility of withdrawing. For the future, for the sake of future generations, he will definitely fight hard for the best ending.

Yan Rou nodded, very satisfied with Jia Xu's statement.

"Don't worry, I will work with Wen Hegong on this matter, and we will advance and retreat together."

Yan Rou stared at Jia Xu and nodded slowly.

In the evening of the next day, Jia Xu invited Duan Yao, who had been discussing the Chang'an war with him in the court all day, to come to his home for dinner and drinks to relieve his fatigue.

Duan Yan didn't doubt that he was there, followed Jia Xu to Jia Xu's house, Jia Xu ordered his family to prepare a banquet, and the two sat facing each other, drinking together.

"Wenhe, I would like to respect you for this glass of wine. If it weren't for your great help, the military rations alone would be enough to give me a headache."

Duan Yan raised his wine glass to toast Jia Xu.

"It's my job."

Jia Xu returned a toast.

After drinking the wine in the glass, Duan Yao ate a few mouthfuls of food, and began to sigh again.

"The army under Ma Teng and Han Sui's command is fierce, and there are Qiang and Hu soldiers to help out. They have lived in Liangzhou for a long time and are resistant to the cold. However, the old troops of Liangzhou under our command have been damaged a lot. The recruits are not as cold-resistant as the soldiers of Ma and Han. There are not a few people who died of frostbite, I am really worried, Ma and Han are determined to win Chang'an."

Jia Xu ate a few mouthfuls of food in silence.

"What Yu Gong said, I am also worried. The battle is long and consumes a lot of food. Our family is weak and cannot withstand such a protracted war. The longer the war is delayed, the worse it will be for us, let alone our east. And Guo Zifeng."

Mentioning Guo Peng gave Duan Yao a headache.

"How is the battle in Xuzhou? Guo Zifeng is probably determined to win Xuzhou."

"Exactly. Although there is no news yet, from my point of view, Tao Gongzu can't compete against Guo Zifeng anyway. Once Guo Zifeng sends troops, Xuzhou will definitely be taken down. The Chen and Mi families in Xuzhou support Guo Zifeng. See Come on, Xuzhou is already in Guo Zifeng's pocket."

Jia Xu also said the same.

"How can this be good... Guo Zifeng leveled the Southern Huns before, and then leveled the Xianbei, and the northern border troubles disappeared. Now Xuzhou, the only place that can restrain Guo Zifeng, is in chaos again. Yangzhou, Jingzhou, and Yizhou are too busy to take care of themselves. We are also in flames of war here. Who cares? Can you restrict Guo Zifeng?"

Duan Yan's face was full of worry: "I'm worried now, Guo Zifeng has solved Xuzhou, and I'm afraid he will find an excuse to lead troops westward. How should we deal with it then?"

Jia Xu was silent for a while.

"It will take time for Guo Zifeng to solve Xuzhou, it will also take time to rectify Xuzhou, and he has to recuperate. He will not start a new war within a year. If the situation is good, we need to solve Ma and Han within half a year. If so, There is room for turning around.”

"I understand what Wen He means. Now we just need to see when Ma and Han can be defeated."

Duan Yan drank another glass of wine and sighed: "But Ma and Han are sharp soldiers, and our veterans are tired. If there is not Chang'an City, I am afraid that the army will be defeated long ago. Defeating Ma and Han is not easy."

"It's not easy, but compared to Guo Zifeng's threat, isn't the threat of Ma and Han a trivial matter?"

"But even if it's a trivial matter, we can't easily solve it. There are wolves in the front and tigers in the back. How can we maintain it..."

Duan Yan drank several glasses of wine and sighed.

"Duke Yu, the world has become so chaotic, the Eight Kingdoms are in chaos, the flames of war are raging, and the people are in dire straits. Has Duke Yu ever regretted it?"

Jia Xu put down his wine glass suddenly, and looked at Duan Yao seriously.

"regret?"

Duan Yao ate a few mouthfuls of food, and looked at Jia Xu: "Wen He said, do I regret the feudal state and the founding of the country?"

"Exactly, if there is no great seal of the world, how could the world be in such chaos?"

Jia Xu shook his head: "Has Duke Yu regretted it? If it hadn't been for this move, the battle of Chang'an might not have been fought, at least, it wouldn't be possible now, and Duke Yu wouldn't have to face the current situation."

Jia Xu wanted to know if Duan Yan felt a little regretful, but the answer was not what he thought.

"Why should I regret it?"

Duan Yan sneered: "Wenhe, I have established a state and established a country. I am the king of a country. Why should I regret it? Just like before, you say, why do I persist, just to bully the little emperor? "

"The world is in such a mess, is it better than before?"

Jia Xu frowned.

"Wenhe, I know that you have always opposed our feudalism and statehood, but men are born in the world, and if they don't pursue higher fame and wealth, what are they pursuing? Immortality? Celebrities in the world? Or beautiful women?

If I don't pursue higher fame and power, why would I hold the little emperor hostage to do such a thing?Only in troubled times, can we have the opportunity to wait for warriors to enter the house. Without troubled times, we can only stay in Liangzhou forever, for the rest of our lives, Wenhe, you are also from Liangzhou, do you want to? "
