Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu entered to see the Son of Heaven. The Son of Heaven got straight to the point and asked directly: "Erqing is returning from the north, where do you want to go?" ”

Zhang Xiu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "The minister is willing to be here to protect Your Majesty." ”

The Son of Heaven sighed: "Zhang Qing has to hide it. "Since the Son of Heaven was established as the emperor by Dong Zhuo, he has been in exile, I don't know how many hardships he has experienced, how many frightens he has secretly experienced, and his mind has long been honed to be extraordinary. He knew very well in his heart that he, a powerless and powerless empty man, could have any attraction to Zhang Xiu. Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu stayed in Jingzhou for several years and didn't see each other to protect themselves, but now they remember themselves after losing the battle in Nanyang? No way! There is only one possibility, that is, Zhang Xiu can't stay in Jingzhou, and then he has other plans. It's just that when I passed through this place, I happened to be stationed here. The Son of Heaven didn't think that if he was still in Chang'an, Zhang Xiu would come to Chang'an to meet him.

Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu glanced at each other, and Jia Xu bowed and said: "Your Majesty Shengming, the ministers have indeed concealed it from Your Majesty, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive your sins." Chen and General Zhang were defeated by Cao Cao, and Jingzhou could no longer stay. Then he wanted to go north to Yuan Shao, and took the lives of all the soldiers of the three armies. ”

Since the Son of Heaven is suspicious, then he should say it generously, he has a large army in hand, so what is there to fear.

The Son of Heaven seemed to laugh and laughed. If you want to vote for Yuan Shao, go directly out of Shaanxi County to Hangu Pass, do you have to cross the river and turn around to come here? Which of you Liangzhou warriors really takes me to heart?

The Son of Heaven didn't say anything, but said: "I have a good place to go, better than Yuan Shao." I don't know if Erqing can be interested? ”

Zhang Xiu bowed and said: "The minister is willing to hear the details." "Let's see what you can say. Jia Xu was also silent beside him.

The Son of Heaven said, "How is Qingzhou?" ”

Ignoring the shock of Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu, the Son of Heaven continued: "The Yuan family has long had the intention of rebellion, Yuan Shu said that the emperor was in front, and Yuan Shao was in power. is named Hanchen, but in fact he is a thief. If the second secretary still has the Han family in mind, he can go to Qingzhou to help Liu Bei defeat Yuan Shao and pacify the princes. Wouldn't it be beautiful to be crowned with a wife and a son in the future, and to leave a name in history? "It doesn't matter if you're going to Jizhou or not, let me have a good time first.

Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu glanced at each other, forcibly suppressed the horror in their hearts, and bowed together: "Since the ministers are subject to Han duties and eat Han Lu, they are Han Chen." I am willing to obey Your Majesty's will. The Son of Heaven knew it in his heart, so he smiled, and his heart was first willing to hear the details, and then he obeyed the order, not to say that it hit your heart, how can you be willing to obey the order?

Jia Xu suddenly bowed again: "The minister is presumptuous, I don't know if Your Majesty has the intention of moving to Qingzhou?" "Now that the destination is known to the Son of Heaven, then the idea in his heart can begin to be executed.

The Son of Heaven's eyes lit up, lowered his eyelids again, and said, "I'm a little tired, Erqing and step down." Let's talk about the rest. ”

When he arrived at the camp outside the city, Zhang Xiu was puzzled and came to ask Jia Xu.

Jia Xu laughed and said, "I didn't expect Your Majesty to be very smart. I can see at a glance that we are waiting for the purpose of the march. ”

He said to Zhang Xiu again: "Congratulations to the general, congratulations to the general." ”

Zhang Xiu said suspiciously: "Jia Gong, where does the joy come from?" ”

Jia Xu said: "Your Majesty is also interested in Qingzhou, and this general is also happy." ”

Zhang Xiu understood, and was even more worried: "This is going to Qingzhou, the road is difficult, and it is difficult to protect itself, and the Son of Heaven will drive with him, but what?" ”

Jia Xu smiled and said: "General, you and I lead a lone army to Qingzhou, or escort the Son of Heaven and hundreds of officials to Qingzhou, which is the greatest credit?" ”

Zhang Xiu said: "Naturally, it is to escort the Son of Heaven and hundreds of officials to Qingzhou together. ”

Jia Xu smiled again: "What if you can capture the annex for Liu Qingzhou by the way on the way?" ”

Zhang Xiu gasped, his eyes glared at the boss: "Jia Gong, you!" You! "I couldn't even speak, I didn't say what I said was after going to Jizhou to attack Yuan Shao. Why did you go around to Bingzhou again?

This plan was also brewed after Jia Xu met Duan Xuan. Entering Jizhou is also to send people to infiltrate Qingzhou to contact Liu Bei in order to cooperate with the action. So, why don't you go out of Hedong and merge with Liu Bei, and bring down the merger with Liu Bei, and welcome the Son of Heaven to Qingzhou by the way?

The Son of Heaven is already in the east of the river, on the edge of the state. And I heard that after Lu Bu escaped from Guanzhong that year, he was in Bingzhou. If you can win over Lu Bu, let alone move Duan to simmer, why worry about the big thing? What's more, the Son of Heaven is only afraid that he has long intended to go east to Qingzhou in his heart, but the road is far away and he can't get there. After a little temptation before, didn't the Son of Heaven be tempted.

Jia Xu's mind turned, and he said to Zhang Xiu: "If the general can follow my plan, the matter will be successful." ”

Zhang Xiu took a deep breath, completely calmed down by Jia Xu's brain-opening plan, and said, "Just follow Jia Gong's words!" ”

As for what would happen if things failed, Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu didn't think about it. They couldn't stay in Jingzhou, and they came here far away, so they were already in danger. Since it's all about taking risks, why not go for it.

The plan has been decided, and Jia Xu asked Zhang Xiu to arrange a few fine people to sneak to Bingzhou and Qingzhou respectively. If they didn't have other thoughts, they led the army to sneak to Youzhou from Bingzhou, and then enter Qingzhou from Youzhou, it shouldn't be too difficult. But now the plan is very big, without Liu Bei's cooperation, there are not enough allies, and they still can't do it on their own.

Jia Xu hit Bai Bojun and Duan Xuan again. Because of the merit of the White Wave Army, the leaders were named generals. He also asked for credit for the leaders of the various ministries, and each asked for some strange official positions for himself, and the blacksmiths in Anyi City were too busy to do so. I didn't have time to engrave it, so I drew it casually with a cone. Then he was arrogant and self-satisfied, and did not respect the Son of Heaven. Caused complaints.

Jia Xu could already imagine that if he escorted the Son of Heaven to Qingzhou, Bai Bojun would definitely refuse. Hedong is the foundation of the Baibo Army, and it has been in business for many years, so how can it be abandoned lightly. Then there will be another big war. It's a pity that Duan Xuan was persuaded to come together, but he refused. Let's take your time, what you do at that time, if you have a little eyebrows, why worry about Duan Xuan.

When Jia Xu was planning here, Liu Bei was not idle in Qingzhou. Hearing that Guan Yu won the entire territory of Jiujiang and forced Zhou Yu to return to his teacher, he was overjoyed. Xuan listened to Cao Cao's defeat of Zhang Xiu in Nanyang, Zhang Xiu fled far away, Cao Cao's soldiers danced in Yin, and he was still eyeing Jingzhou. Xindao, no matter what, can't make Cao Cao get Jingzhou again.

Then Xun Yu was summoned to discuss, and said: "Wen Ruo, Cao Mengdexing's unknown army attacked Jingzhou." Before, I ordered Uncle Chen to go to the army in Peiguo, but Cao Mengde was unmoved, and now Zhang Xiu has been defeated, Jingzhou is in danger, and I want to raise a division to ask for it. to solve the danger of Jingzhou. I'm afraid that Yuan Shao will also invade Youzhou, what can I do about it? ”

Yuan Shao is a major problem that Liu Bei cannot avoid at present. He really wanted to fight with Yuan Shao, but this fight was not something that could be solved in a short time. At that time, he and Yuan Shao fought and defeated Yuan Shao, and Qingzhou must have hurt his vitality. When he recovered, he was afraid that Sun Jian would already sit firmly in Yangzhou, and Cao Cao would already have Jingzhou. Sun Jian said that Cao Cao would be difficult to deal with. In history, he was able to sweep away all the heroes with a county. Now if he is allowed to occupy the three states, will this be necessary?

The advantage of his previous prophet has also been exhausted by the unrecognizable historical process. If Cao Cao's development is allowed without interference, it is really difficult to say who will be surnamed when this day comes.

Xun Yu thought for a while and said to Liu Bei: "Lord, with the power of my Qingzhou, I am afraid it will be difficult to support the north and the south at the same time." It is better to choose one direction and give priority to the strategy. In my opinion, it is better to unite with Youzhou, attack Yuan Shao first, and sweep the north. ”

Xun Yu felt that Liu Bei was thinking too much, thinking about Yangzhou, thinking about Cao Cao, and thinking about protecting Youzhou to fight Yuan Shao. How can two fists be able to beat four hands. It's better to put down the others, first unite with Youzhou to send troops, strike first, and beat Yuan Shao down.

Liu Bei listened to Xun Yu's words, and was shocked in his heart, he was greedy for everything, it was really not good. Then he said: "Jingzhou must not be saved." "Yangzhou can let Guan Yu stop, but Jingzhou still has to be saved.

Xun Yu said: "You can send Taishi Ziyi's generals into Yan, and Cao Cao will definitely return to the division when he hears it." In this way, Jingzhou has nothing to do. ”

Liu Bei happily obeyed.
