Zhang Xiu, the word Wenjin, Liangzhou Wuwei people. Since childhood, he has been brave and brave, and he is a fine horse and archer. and grew up, and voted for his uncle Zhang Jijun. Every battle is the first, and he has won many times, and he has been appointed as a lieutenant because of his merits. Uncle Zhang Ji died, and Zhang Xiu was in charge of his army. The soldiers not only felt Zhang Jien, but also obeyed Zhang Xiuyong, and they did not obey him.

A few days after Zhang Xiu sat in the position of military master, he felt different. When he was a cavalry lieutenant before, he didn't have to think about it, he just had to follow his uncle's orders and point where to fight. Now that he has become the master of an army, he has to worry about everything. To be busy pacifying the soldiers, busy checking the baggage, busy arranging patrol camps...... These trivial things are okay, I usually follow my uncle to be influenced by him, and I can also draw gourds in the same way. However, one of the most pressing issues at hand is the question of strategic direction.

Many generals have come to ask, general, is the county still fighting, and is it still fighting Xinye according to the previous plan after the county is defeated?

Zhang Xiu was furious on the surface, saying that my uncle died in Yuxian County, and if he didn't take Yuxian and Xinye, how could he comfort my uncle's soul in the sky! But I was really a little apprehensive in my heart. Zhang Xiu is not afraid of war, nor is he afraid of death. What he was afraid of was that he would fail his uncle's trust and the expectations of these soldiers who had followed his uncle for many years. He needs to take this army to survive in these troubled times. And to live well.

After the first seven days, the army rested for a while, and then Zhang Xiu instructed the generals to reorganize their armaments and prepare to fight the county again. The generals were about to retire, when suddenly, a pro-soldier outside the camp reported that the person who had sent Zhang Ji and the bones of the fallen soldiers to Shaanxi County had returned, and had brought a letter. Zhang Xiu called people in, took the letter and looked at it, and couldn't help but be ecstatic.

It turned out that this letter was written by Jia Xu, saying that he had been in Liangzhou for a long time, and the princes had no intention of going east, and he had been sitting for many years, and he was willing to come to Zhang Xiu's army to go on a walk, I don't know if Zhang Xiu welcomes it?

Welcome, how can you not be welcome! Zhang Xiu couldn't wait to raise her hands and feet to welcome. Jia Xu's name, which of the generals of Liangzhou does not know. To tell the truth, the generals of Liangzhou can have today's glory and wealth, all because of Jia Xu's words at the beginning, otherwise they would have died a long time ago. Zhang Ji sighed before his death, saying that Jia Xushi is a genius, why not use it for me in Liangzhou. Such a celebrity actually wants to deign to come to him, Zhang Xiu doesn't care if Jia Xu is still thinking about it or what he wants to do, anyway, he is extremely eager for Jia Xu's arrival. I believe that for the sake of all Wuwei fellow villagers, Jia Xu will not harm himself.

Jia Xu was also very aggrieved, he followed Dong Zhuo, but Dong Zhuo didn't listen to him. As a result, the good situation collapsed in one fell swoop. Finally escaped from the short-lived ghost army of Niu Fu. As a result, Li Dao and Guo Yan actually held the army in their hands and wanted to abandon the army and die without saying a word. Jia Xu didn't have to pay attention to these two fools, but the people of Liangzhou don't hold together, if Wang Yun settles accounts after the autumn, he Jia Xu is a fish on the chopping board, and he will definitely not be able to run. So he scared Li Dao Guo Yan and said that the Chang'an court wanted to punish the people of Liangzhou, and if you abandon the army and run away, a pavilion chief will be able to arrest you. It's really not good, it's never too late to run.

So Li Dao, Guo Yan and others listened to it and knocked Chang'an down in one fell swoop. After the defeat of Chang'an, the overexcited Li Dao Guo Yan opened a killing ring in Chang'an, Wang Yun was killed, and Lu Bu fled, and at this time the generals of Liangzhou were no longer able to control it. The Liangzhou cavalry only killed corpses all over Chang'an City, which frightened the emperor and his ministers in Chang'an, and also made Jia Xu dissatisfied. It was Jia Xu who refused the official position of Shangshu and servant given to him by Li Dao Guo Yan, and he also tried his best to save many people.

Jia Xu saw that the generals in Liangzhou were all martial artists, worse than Dong Zhuo, and in the past few years, you have beaten me, and I have beaten you. A while ago, Li Dao killed Fan Chou, and fought with Guo Yan, which made Chang'an a miasma, and Chang'an City, which had hundreds of thousands of household registrations, was tossed by these people, and it was about to become a ghost town. Jia Xu also knew at this time that he couldn't stay in Chang'an. If you stay any longer, you may be killed one day.

From the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms era, if you want to say that Jia Xu's strategy is the first in the world, there may be people who will be unconvinced to debate a few words, but when it comes to Jia Xu's self-preservation, he admits the second, and no one dares to admit the first. When Jia Xu was young, he once resigned and went home to recuperate, and on the way he encountered a rebellion against the Di people, and he killed the Han people when he caught them. Jia Xu and dozens of other people were unlucky enough to be arrested. Everyone else was scared to death, but Jia Xu said calmly that I am the nephew of Duan Gong (Duan Xi), don't touch me, my family will pay a lot of money to ransom me. Duan Xi is a fierce man who dares to carry out genocide in Liangzhou, and no one is afraid. So the Di people not only released Jia Xu, but also personally escorted him home. The history books say that Jia Xuquan is used to help things, and this is also the case. Lying to the butcher's knife face without changing his color, it can be seen that Jia Xu's composure and courage. Later, after Jia Xu in history took refuge in Zhang Xiu, he first persuaded Zhang Xiu to take refuge in Liu Biao, and finally persuaded Zhang Xiu to take refuge in Cao Cao. And he himself, at the age of more than seventy, and the high-ranking officials of Taiwei and Weishou Township Marquis, were able to die a good death.

At this time, Jia Xu was no longer optimistic about Li Wei and Guo Yan in Chang'an, and happened to be in Huayin, a fellow villager in the same county, Duan Xuan, so Jia Xu abandoned his official position and went to Huayin to take refuge in Duan Xuan. As a result, Duan Xuan was afraid of Jia Xu's prestige, and he didn't know that Jia Xu was here to flee, for fear that Jia Xu would take away his military power. So on the surface, he was polite to Jia Xu, but in private, he asked his own soldiers to follow Jia Xu in the name of protection and follow him at any time.

When Jia Xu saw Duan Xuan like this, he thought to himself, Lao Duan didn't believe me. At this time, Jia Xu's heart was also up and down. If Jia Xu knew Duan Xuan's thoughts, he would definitely jump to his feet and scold, I, Jia Wenhe, have been a captain to beg for capture, but I don't like to lead troops to fight, such a dangerous job is only suitable for you rude martial artists. What use do I want your army? It's a pity that the two of them have their own ghosts, and they are destined to not be able to talk freely.

Jia Xu was in Huayin, and he was anxious, when he suddenly heard that Zhang Jibing went to Jingzhou and died in Nanyang. After sighing a few times for Zhang Ji, the old man, Jia Xu asked people who was in charge of Zhang Ji's troops now, and someone replied that it was Zhang Ji's nephew Zhang Xiu. As soon as he heard this, Jia Xu was moved.

Zhang Xiu, a hairy guy, is much easier to deal with than Zhang Ji. He is now in charge of the new army, he will definitely shrink back, if I go there, Zhang Xiu will not say that he will obey me, and I can be the majority of the masters. At the very least, the safety of my life can be guaranteed. So Jia Xu wrote a letter to Zhang Xiu to test it. If Zhang Xiu is willing, he will have to carry his bags to Jingzhou.

Fortunately, Zhang Xiu did not disappoint Jia Xu, and immediately wrote a letter to come over, with a very low posture, and called Jia Xu as his uncle in the letter, saying that Jia Xu was coming, and he was willing to send troops to pick up Yunyun.

Jia Xu got the letter and laughed. went to see Duan Xuan and said to Duan Xuan, I have been bothering my brother these days. It's not a way for me to live here for a long time. Now our fellow Zhang Ji died on the battlefield, and his nephew Zhang Xiu is in charge of the army and asks me to go to Nanyang to help him. This kid can be regarded as something we have watched grow up, and I can't refuse. I have already promised him, and I am here to bid farewell to Brother Duan today.

When Duan Xuan heard this, his eyes rolled, and several thoughts flashed in his heart, so he said with a smile, Alas, I was about to entrust Wen and Yu with a heavy responsibility in some time. I didn't expect Wenhe to leave me for Nanyang. However, Lao Zhang died miserably, and Zhang Xiu, this kid, is far away in Nanyang, since he wrote to ask you to help, I can't disagree. We Wuwei people have to help Wuwei people, right? Come on, Wenhe, you and I don't know when we'll see you again, let's have a drink.

So Duan Xuan held a banquet and saw Jia Xu off. When the wine was half-drunk, Duan Xuan smiled and said: "Wenhe, when you get to Zhang Xiu, you have to talk to my nephew, now the only people in Liangzhou Wuwei are leading the troops, and he and I are the only ones." We need to help each other. ”

Jia Xu replied: "Brother Zhongming, I don't need you to say it, I will also persuade General Zhang and Brother Zhongming to help each other." This time I went south to Jingzhou, and the future is uncertain. The family urine is still placed in Huayin, and I ask Brother Zhongming to take care of it. ”

Duan Xuan hurriedly nodded in agreement. This time, the two drank and dispersed.

Before Jia Xu left, an acquaintance asked him: "Duan Xuan treats Jun Hou, Jun An goes?" ”

Jia Xu said: "Simmering suspicious, taboo, although the etiquette is thick, it cannot be feared, and it will be planned for a long time." I will be happy when I go, and I hope that I will marry a great helper, and I will be kind to my wife. If there is no mastermind in embroidery, and if you are willing to be praised, your family and body will be complete. ”

Let yourself and your family be safe, this is Jia Xu.

So Jia Xu went down to Nanyang with the sergeant sent by Zhang Xiu, and when he arrived at Zhang Xiu, Zhang Xiu insisted on the gift of his son and nephew. Duan Xuan was in Huayin, and he also treated the Jia family well, arranging for people to send money and goods every month to provide for needs.

When Jia Xu arrived in Nanyang, Zhang Xiu asked him, what should I do in this situation? Jia Xu stroked the long beard under his chin and said, let's fight first, and then beat down Yuxian and Xinye.

Zhang Xiu also trusted Jia Xu, and without saying a word, he raised a large army and attacked Sui County. Although Zhang Xiu's army was a newly deceased general, there was another Jia Xu who was more famous than Zhang Ji, so his morale was greatly boosted. After several days of onslaught, the county was pulled out. After capturing Qixian, Zhang Xiu only let the soldiers rest in the city for a day and night, and then rushed to Xinye. The defenders and most of the defenders of Xinye Castle have been lost outside the city of Yuxian, and reinforcements from Nanyang and Xiangyang have not yet arrived. At this time, how can there be any spare strength to resist Zhang Xiu. When the army arrived, Xinye Ling had already taken his family and fled the city. So Shinno went down without a fight.

Zhang Xiu got Xinye, so he came to ask Jia Xu. Jia Xu said: "If you have Xinye, Jingzhou will have a move." I want to go south to Xiangyang and see Liu Biao. ”

Zhang Xiu was shocked, Jia Xu went to Liu Biao, what if there was a good one, what if Jia Xu didn't come back. Jia Xu seemed to know what Zhang Xiu was thinking, and said with a smile: "Don't panic, general, I have a plan, and there will be good news to report to the general." ”

Zhang Xiu couldn't, so he had to send his own soldiers to escort Jia Xu all the way to Xiangyang to see Liu Biao.

Liu Biao here, I heard that Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu led troops into Kou Nanyang, Jiangxia guarded Huang Zu, and the general Wen Ping asked Liu Biao for battle, vowing to destroy the invading Liangzhou army. Liu Biao was discussing with the ministers, and suddenly someone came to report that Jia Xu from Liangzhou had come to ask for a meeting.

Liu Biao was not only an official in Chang'an, but naturally he had also heard of Jia Xu's name, so he said: "It turned out to be Jia Wenhe, a famous man in Liangzhou, please hurry up." ”
