"Sir, these grains and grasses are really horses...... Did the Lord give it to us? Li Wei and the four of them looked at the countless grains and grass, as if they were dreaming, and couldn't help but ask, wanting to get Jia Xu's affirmative answer to determine the joy in their hearts.

Jia Xu naturally didn't pay attention to Li Dao, who was like a fool at this time, but turned to Li Meng and asked, "General, is it true that the imperial court only has less than 40,000 troops?" ”

"Hmm...... In fact, there are less than 30,000 capable fighters, and the other more than 10,000 are newly recruited soldiers, which are not of great use. Li Meng nodded affirmatively, but after thinking for a moment, he added, "However, this is only the number of people on the surface. I can't say the specifics. ”

"There are 10,000 county soldiers, composed of private soldiers raised by Wang Yun before; 30,000 wolves, 20,000 veterans, and 10,000 recruits; There are still 10,000 soldiers and horses in the Tiger Ben Forbidden Army, in addition, are there other soldiers and horses? Jia Xu frowned, not worried about his plan, but because he was worried about meeting a group of fools under Dong Zhuo: as a general in the imperial court, he didn't even know the soldiers and horses in Chang'an, and he still had the face to shout that he would unite with the Ma family and attack Chang'an in one fell swoop?

'Just talking about breaking through Chang'an, a certain lord has already done it, and he still needs to unite with you? Jia Xu smiled bitterly, really not understanding where these people's self-confidence came from.......

"Well, maybe Chang'an is one of these centaurs. However, in the two counties of Jingzhao and Fengyi, there are still some county soldiers. A few days ago, there were also a lot of rebels who fled into the two counties......." Li Meng also frowned at this time, in his opinion, it is impossible to capture the two counties and knock Chang'an, relying only on these more than 70,000 soldiers and horses, not to mention the thick walls of the ancient capital of Chang'an.......

"It's okay, it's winter now, and it's not easy to move troops. And if there are really a lot of deserters in the two counties, then it will be even better......." Jia Xu carefully recalled his plan again, and after finding that there was nothing missing, he showed a meaningful smile and said to Li Meng. Then, he raised his feet and walked to the big tent, and muttered: "People are old, and their bones are really bad, and they can't stand the cold after standing for a while....... These grains and grass are enough for 100,000 people to use for more than three months, so the general should quickly order an inventory of the hoards. ”

The last sentence was said to Li Dao, Guo Yan and others. And after those people heard this, they naturally agreed in a panic. And those who followed Jia Xu back to the big tent, in addition to Niu Fu and Li Meng, there was also Zhang Xiu who hesitated for a moment, and then gave up counting the grain and grass and followed in.

"Sir, the Ma family has only one hand to the sky, and after waiting for this grain and grass, they only need to recruit the people and escort them, and they can wave their troops into Chang'an within a few days!" As soon as he entered the account, Zhang Xiu held the warm wine and respectfully poured it for Jia Xu. There was an excited look on his face, as if the time to make a contribution was just around the corner.

"The young general takes it for granted, 70,000 demoralized soldiers, and attacks Chang'an, the western capital of 50,000 in winter?" Jia Xu shook his head and asked Zhang Xiu with a smile: "The young general thinks he can win a battle?" ”

"Naturally impossible, since someone has entered the Ma family, this matter still needs to be decided by Mr." Li Wei and Guo Yan are obviously not small people who do inventory and hoarding of grain and grass, and after Fan Chou and Zhang Ji presided over the overall situation, the two of them also entered the big tent, and they happened to hear Jia Xu's questioning.

"It's clear, can the general return to the Ma family now?" Jia Xu was sure in his heart that he had completely collected these Dong Zhuo's old departments at this moment, so he asked in a bright light, so that he could set up a name to be subordinate to facilitate his own plans in the future.

"The Ma family treats someone like this, how can someone be a treacherous person? The military advisor is above, and a certain person swears to return to the Ma family, if there are two hearts, people and gods will be punished! Li Dao and Guo Yan were very compatible this time, and they both knelt down and swore an oath. And Li Meng and Zhang Xiu also knelt down immediately: "I am willing to follow the Ma family and swear to serve!" ”

"Very good, Ma Jiade and other loyal people are even more powerful!" Jia Xu stroked his small goatee and smiled, got up and helped everyone up one by one, and then said: "In this case, please also ask the generals to order the soldiers to cut down trees and set up camps, and after surviving this winter, the old man will definitely let you sit in the palace hall!" ”

"This ......." Everyone was a little stupid for a while, especially Guo Yan, who was anxious, and asked directly: "Military advisor, you are resourceful, why don't you think about capturing Chang'an, opening up the road back to Liangzhou, and letting someone go back to their hometown, but let someone suffer here?" ”

"General Guo, although the old man has a strategy, but he can't turn stones into gold and beans into soldiers, the current situation, not to mention that winter is not suitable for a certain kind of army, even if you enter the army, do you think that with our more than 70,000 rebels, we can capture Gyeonggi and Liangfu all the way and set foot in the western capital Chang'an?"

"Isn't that still the Ma family's help......." Guo Yan didn't think about it, and blurted out this sentence.

When Jia Xu heard this, his face became calm, he slowly stood up, walked in front of Guo Yan, and said to Guo Yan in a ghostly manner: "General Guo, may I ask if you are obedient to the Ma family, or are the Ma family obedient to you?!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Wu Si immediately understood, and walked directly behind Jia Xu with his sword, not only to protect Jia Xu, but also to strengthen Jia Xu's momentum. And Niu Fu is also a person with eyes, and without saying a word, he stepped forward with Zhihu Chi'er and shouted: "The will of the lord, but you can speculate without permission?" The capture of Chang'an, the lord has already been achieved, so why wait? ”

At this time, Fan Chou and Zhang Ji seemed to have just finished the matter in their hands, and they came to thank and return to the account. Seeing this situation, the two naturally knew that it was Guo Yan's damn troublemaker who caused trouble, and after the two glanced at each other, they knelt down with their fists and said to Jia Xu: "A certain person is willing to lead his subordinates to return to the Ma family, but the military advisor is sent, and he swears to serve!" ”

"Strategist, I have already said before that I am by no means a perfidious person. Where the military advisor needs to be served, just ask! "Li Dao is a smart person, in this situation, although he is unwilling to tear his face with Guo Yan, he will definitely not cut off his way of life: first, Fan Chou and Zhang Ji have obviously moved closer to the Ma family; Second, the information brought by Li Meng shows that the road to the imperial court has been broken; Thirdly, Jia Xu had no last resort, and the Ma family had such a handful of sending a large amount of grain and grass here, and it was effortless to capture Chang'an before........

Li Dao is a villain, but he is different from Guo Yan, it can be said that he is a smart villain. Therefore, at this time, he also expressed his attitude of standing on the Ma family's side. When Guo Yan saw this scene, he couldn't react for a while, and pointed to Li Dao, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji and others and said, "You, you ....... What's going on? ”

"Nothing! It's just that you idiot wants to die, don't pull us along! Since Jia Xu came, Fan Chou has long been dissatisfied with Guo Yan's stupid behavior, and he can't help but speak.

"I, I...... I just asked two more questions, military advisor, I don't mean anything else! Guo Yan is this kind of virtue, bullying the soft and afraid of the hard and having no assertiveness, seeing that the general trend is like this at the moment, he wagged his tail and begged for mercy.

And Jia Xu saw that the effect had been achieved, Fang Youyou returned to his seat and said: "The old man said that next year's spring equinox, you will definitely sit in the court. At this moment, he ordered to set up camp to survive the cold winter! ”

"No!" At this time, no one had any objections, and the generals bowed down and retreated. And after Li Dao and the others retreated, Jia Xu said to Li Meng: "General Li, you dare to kill the imperial court envoy here, presumably there is a reason to go back to Chang'an, and Jia has something to ........"

"Strategist! I don't plan to go back to Chang'an! Li Meng was stunned, and Jia Xu was also stunned. In the end, Jia Xu said with a helpless wry smile: "It's okay, General Li will be in Chang'an on this, so he said that the rebels insisted on not disbanding, and killed the imperial envoy." And because of the righteousness of your comrades, you were saved from death, and you have come to restore your life. ”

"Strategist, isn't it good to be here? Why do you have to go back? Li Meng was a little depressed, he didn't want to go back to Chang'an to suffer that idleness.

"Because, the old man still needs you in Chang'an, and cooperate with the shadow ....... of the Ma family" Speaking of this, Jia Xu couldn't help laughing, and finally spit out two words: "Rumors!" ”

"Rumors? ........ "Li Meng is stupid: what good is a small rumor?"
