In the fourth year of the Han Dynasty (193), in April of the summer.

The states and counties of the Han Dynasty gradually ushered in a great melee.

During this period, Cao Cao, the governor of Yanzhou who was in Yanzhou and Yu, fought east with more than 30,000 elite soldiers. He was defeated along the way, and his troops were directly under Tancheng, the capital of Donghai County.

Because the siege failed, the two sides confronted each other and the battle situation fell into a stalemate.

On the other hand, Yuan Benchu, who was in Jizhou, also fought with Youyan overlord Gongsun Zan again in Panhe.

After the Jieqiao Battle, Ju Yi, a good general who had always been good at using crossbowski, was dismissed from his post because of his arrogant nature and was jealous of Yuan Shao and eventually died of worries and anger.

Now Gongsun Zan has learned the lesson of his first defeat and placed the infantry on both sides of the coast to point the knights at any time.

For a moment, Yuan Shao was unable to defeat the Youyan Knights and was at a disadvantage in the field. He had to stay in a silence without fighting and secretly thought about good strategies to defeat the enemy.

More than that.

Now even the western part of the Han Dynasty is unwilling to be lonely.

When Ma Teng and Han Sui of Xiliang raised an army to attack Chang'an in the east, Zhang Ji, Duan Wei and other troops were influenced by Yuan Yao's plan to disregard the overall situation and took their troops to leave the Xiliang Group and head east to Hedong, Hongnong and other places.

After Li Jue sent Fan Chou to bring tens of thousands of Xiliang's main force to fight back against the horses, and after the Korean coalition forces, he finally moved his eyes eastward.

He was very angry about Zhang Ji and Duan Wei.

It was impossible to decide to assemble a large army and strangle the two of them in one fell swoop in the Eastern Expedition.

However, when it comes to mobilizing troops and generals, he was unable to reach a consensus with Fan Chou, Guo Si and others.

The three of them were each on guard against each other, fearing that their subordinates would suffer any damage when they advanced eastward and their strength would decline. They would be taken advantage of the opportunity to merge them.

That's it!

All parties are unwilling to send their troops to quell the rebellion.

The quelling rebellion has ended here.

At the critical moment, Li Jue seemed to think of Jia Xu, who had once abandoned his official position and returned home again.

He did what he thought of, and he re-enlisted Jia Xu as an official in the court and became a confidant, which was more important than before.

"Wenhe, I want to gather the strength of the entire army to fight against the rebel generals Zhang Ji, Duan Wei and others, and recover Hedong, Hongnong and other counties to gain a glimpse of the situation in Shandong such as Luoyang."

"I don't know what to do with the text or the idea?"

In the mansion, Li Jue and Jia Xu were sitting cross-legged with each other, and Li Jue couldn't help but speak and ask.

Upon hearing this, Jia Xu just responded very briefly: "No!"

"General, today, the west is now in peace, and the political situation is still unstable. The army should be stationed in the area of ​​Sanguan and Chencang west of Chang'an. It is necessary to deter the Xiliang coalition forces. It is not advisable to move the army eastward."

Jia Xu clearly objected to this strategy.

After a few words.

Li Jue felt a little unwilling to give up and couldn't help but say: "Wenhe, but Zhang Ji and Duan Wei's two thieves had deviated at a critical moment, which almost caused the defense line to be violated by rebels such as Ma Teng."

"If you don't capture and kill these two people, it will be difficult to relieve my hatred!"

Before he could finish his words, anger appeared on his face.

Obviously, he had always hated the incident where the two of them were dissuaded by Yuan Yao and rebelled.

Looking at Li Jue's expression, Jia Xu still remained calm. He could naturally guess what Li Jue had deep in his heart, pondered for a while, and couldn't help but bow and respond:

"General, Xu has a strategy to let our army station between Guanzhong, observe the situation in the world, and let the princes of Guandong gather in one place to carry out fire and reap profits."

As soon as this said, Li Julian looked moved and asked, "Wenhe has any good ideas, please come quickly."

"Use the emperor as bait."

After saying that, Jia Xu suddenly had a few gloomy faces and quickly replied.

"Son of Heaven? Wenhe, do you want to...?"

Li Jue was a little confused when he heard this sentence. He didn't keep up with the rhythm. He thought for a while and looked at Jia Xu's tall body with a suspicious look and asked.

"General, according to the war reports sent back in recent days, the chaos in Kanto has been established. The princes have long since had an alliance that has not been there for a long time. They have fought against Luoyang's great power. Instead, they have fallen into civil strife and robbed the prefectures and counties in order to achieve a significant development of their own power."

"Since that's the case, why don't our army take the initiative and throw the emperor out as bait to lead the princes from all sides to come and fight for it?"

As soon as this statement fell, he continued to analyze with a gloomy face and continued to analyze: "Although the Han flag has long been no longer as powerful as before, it is still nominally the world of the Han Dynasty. Yingfeng Emperor can still have extremely strong political advantages."

"If anyone can get the emperor, he will be able to use the emperor to fight against the unjust officials, which will have an extremely strong suppression on the other parties."

After saying that, Li Jie had some concerns on his face and couldn't help but say, "But with the power of the Yuan clan in Guandong, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu really need the emperor's flag to command the princes in the world?"

At this moment, he asked a key question.

yes!

With the power of the Yuan family, even if the emperor did not take action again, he still maintained a decisive advantage when facing the princes of the world.

Because the Yuan family mastered knowledge and mastered the subordinates of the scholarly class.

On the contrary, once the emperor is supported, it will hinder the Yuan family's power center, and some of the gains will not be worth the loss.

Thinking of this, Li Jue also showed an upset look on his face.

But who is Jia Xu?

Since the poisonous man has spoken, he must have thought about the perfect solution.

"No, the general only cares about one thing, but has not thought about the second."

Upon hearing this, Jia Xu's eyes flashed, and he thought about the people's hearts and said in detail: "Although the Yuan family does not need the emperor's flag, the other princes need it."

"The current situation in Kanto is in a situation where the two Yuans are fighting each other."

"Almost all wars from south to north revolve around Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. If the emperor is ordered to leave, the alliance relationship between Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shu, Tao Qian against Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Biao and other princes is completely broken."

"Because, except for Yuan, no matter where the other princes seized the emperor, they could be able to accept the emperor to defeat the unjust ministers, and then annex the princes, and their power would increase greatly in the short term."

"At that time, they will inevitably compete with Yuan, and this must be a situation that the two Yuans do not want to see."

"In this way, the two Yuans will inevitably prevent all parties from obtaining the emperor, and our army happened to use this to fuel the fire, making it difficult for the princes to survive alone and lead them to a large-scale melee between them in the battle for the emperor."

"As long as the two Yuans stop all parties, the alliance between them will collapse suddenly."

Jia Xu said slowly.

Then he said, "But this strategy must be done step by step, and only when the time is ripe can it achieve results."

"The first step between now is that our army should immediately remove the threat from Nanyang."

"Fa Lubu?"

"General, that's exactly what it is."

"Because Yuan Shu gave it to Nanyang, Lu Bu has become the minion of the Yuan family. If our army wants to implement this policy, it must first control Nanyang County."

"Because Nanyang County is located in the world, and the Nanyang Basin is a flat land, it would be an excellent place to live here to lure all the princes to come and join the fire!"

After saying that, Li Jue couldn't help but say: "It's just Wenhe and Lu Bu are brave. I heard that he has quickly recruited an army recently, and it is unlikely to be destroyed in the short term."

"hehe."

Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on Jia Xu's face and stroked his long beard.

Then he said: "General, don't worry. Nanyang belongs to Jingxiang and is the barrier of Xiangyang. Our army only needs to contact Liu Biao to make a contribution. He thinks that he will definitely go north and fight Lu Bu even more actively than our army."

"And our army can just send elite cavalry to take advantage of the situation and rob!"
