The Three Kingdoms

On this day, apart from Sun Quan and Lv Bu who led the army to the north, other courtiers had already gathered in the court hall.

"Your Majesty is still in Zhongshan?"

Zhang Zhao raised his head and stared at Sun Ce who was directly opposite him: "Observing filial piety for one month, this should be enough!"

"I tried my best to persuade him, but he said that the sky of Great Wu will not fall down. If we can't even handle this matter well, the court council will be disbanded. He is still working so hard to set up a council. Well, what's more, he told me to go up the mountain and not disturb him to fulfill my filial piety!"

Sun Ce smiled wryly: "I have no choice but to persuade him!"

"Nowadays, the Great Wu is in full swing, and the frontline soldiers are fighting bloody battles. As the King of Great Wu, how can he be so depressed and sinking, he should cheer up!"

Cheng Pu had a gloomy face.

"Your Majesty felt that he had failed to protect the late emperor. He felt ashamed in his heart. He always wanted to serve the Empress Dowager well. Now that the Empress Dowager passed away due to illness, he was naturally distraught and indignant. It is only natural that he made this decision!"

Zhou Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, sighed, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty is right, the sky of Great Wu hasn't fallen yet, if we can't even bear this pressure, the imperial council will be in vain!"

"But now the battle in northern Xinjiang is in full swing, without His Majesty, I always feel uneasy!" Gu Yong smiled wryly.

"No matter what, during this period of time, we must hold on!"

Sun Ce said firmly.

"Now that's the only way to go!"

Zhang Zhao and Cheng Pu glanced at each other, the more they tested the abilities of the two heads of civil servants and generals.

If they can't stabilize, the people below will be in chaos.

"Governor Li, what do you think of the news sent back by the Blood Wolf Legion?"

Huang Zhong suddenly handed over a report sent back from Beijiang, staring fixedly at Li Ru, and asked word by word.

Li Ru said nothing.

He had already read this news, and he was naturally the first one to read the news sent back from the Jinyiwei channel.

He was also surprised.

But he doesn't regret his decision back then.

"Governor Li, Jia Wenhe's death was verified by your Jin Yiwei. Now a dead person has suddenly come back to life, and has become the chief counselor of Huchuquan, the Great Khan of the Huns. You really should give us an explanation. !"

Cheng Pu said.

"I admit that I once let Jia Wenhe go on purpose in Luoyang. His fake death was a trick I used. I naturally understand it. I know he is still alive!"

Li Ru looked calm, and said lightly: "I made a mistake in this matter, and I was moved with compassion. I thought he would look for a frontier place, hide his name, and spend the rest of his life like I did in the past, so I didn't kill them all, as for how he appeared in the court of the Huns, I don't know!"

"What I want to ask is, can we trust him today?"

Cheng Pu's eyes flicked across a bright light, and asked: "After Zhao Yun received the news, he has been faced with the choice of deploying troops. Whether he should go deep into the prairie or fight Jiuyuan City decisively, he is not sure about this point. If he believes Jia Xu, then we will put all the four main forces of the Blood Wolf Legion into the battle of Jiuyuan City. The staff deduces that there is an [-]% chance of winning, and we can even defeat the main force of the Huns and wipe out the new Huns. But if he is not credible , then Jiuyuan City is a trap!"

"Here, Jia Xu and I know each other best, so let me share my personal opinion!"

Hearing this, Li Ru fell into deep thought, and after a quarter of an hour of contemplation, he said: "I think Jia Wenhe's words can be trusted for three reasons. The person whose eggs hit the rocks, he knows the power of the Great Wu Dynasty better than anyone else, and he will not think that the mere Huns can be compared with the Great Wu, so his chances of turning to the Huns may be too low. Second, when he was young and studying, he used to He was plundered by the Qiang people, tortured, and suffered a lot. He has prejudices against the barbarians outside the Central Plains. I don’t think he will really help the Huns. As for the third point, Jia Xu I know is not a willing person. An ordinary person suddenly appeared in the Huns and did so many things, I am more inclined, he is using the springboard of the Huns to jump onto the stage of the court!"

"I understand what you mean. Jia Xu wants to take advantage of the pacification of the Xiongnu, get rid of his crimes, and then carry his unworldly achievements and surrender to my Great Wu!" Sun Ce stared at Li Ru, but there was still a trace of doubt in his heart, and said : "But if Jia Wenhe really wanted to surrender, why did he escape before?"

"Before he didn't escape, there was no chance at all!"

Li Ru explained: "Under the circumstances at that time, it was impossible for him to surrender. Otherwise, if I didn't kill him, Cao Mengde wouldn't keep him, and he would definitely take him to hell with him!"

Under the circumstances at that time, Jia Xu was the one who must be killed. Even if he could surrender, the chance of surviving was not great. "

"What do you think?"

Cheng Pu's gaze swept across the faces of the courtiers.

"Credible!"

"I think it's right to be cautious!"

"Opportunities are fleeting, you must seize them!"

"In case of a trap, wouldn't the blood wolf army suffer heavy casualties?"

The opinions of the ministers are not very unified.

After the final show of hands, the discussion came to a conclusion, and they still decided to trust Jia Xu once and grasp this opportunity well.

"Governor Li, you send someone to inform Zhao Yun of the council's decision as quickly as possible. If you can be sure that Jia Xu is the one who sent the Huns' defense plan, then trust him once!"

Cheng Pu said resolutely: "As for the rest, Zhao Yun needs to make his own decision. How to fight and where to fight can only be chosen by Zhao Yun!"

"Yes!"

Li Ru nodded.

Yanzhou, Xianyang City.

This Xianyang is not Xianyang, the capital of the Qin Dynasty, but a small frontier city under the jurisdiction of Yunzhong County in the past. One end connects Wuyuan County in the west, and the other end connects to the prairie. It belongs to the position of the later Tumed Right Banner.

The entire city stands between the wind and sand and the grassland. Its size is that of a small town, with only a few thousand households and a population of less than [-].

Before, it was occupied by the Huns because the Central Plains War could not take care of it.

The Huns have occupied it for more than a year.

However, during a raid three days ago, more than a thousand Xiongnu troops guarding the city were wiped out by the Wu army, and a golden dragon imperial flag and a blood wolf army flag were flying over the city again.

These two flags declare that this place has returned to the Great Wu Dynasty.

It was not a small-scale army that started to take back the city, but the main force of blood wolves led by Zhao Yun himself. The main force of this force was aimed at Jiuyuan City.

outside the city.

A simple camp.

"I don't know how the situation in Beizhou is!"

Zhao Yun sat cross-legged in the main tent of the Zhongying, looked at a map of the battlefield and the distribution of troops, and frowned tightly: "With the strength of two legions here, they should be able to successfully surround and kill Liu Bao's [-] troops." Iron cavalry!"

What he was worried about was Liu Bao's [-] cavalry, which were the most elite soldiers of the Huns.

According to the mark on the troop distribution map, the King's Court of the Huns had dispatched the most elite cavalry to Liu Bao, just to let Liu Bao block the main force of the Wu army from going west.
