Chapter 122: Unthinkable
How powerful are words?
Jiang Jin said something very similar to what his predecessors said, this 'predecessor' is called Liu Biao, he once said after Zhang Ji's death, Zhang Ji came to Jingzhou at the end of the road, but I, as the master, killed him, which is rude, so I only accept condolences and do not accept congratulations.
Liu Biao's words made Zhang Xiu's heart drop in Nanyang, and now, Jiang Jin also said that it was rude to kill guests as a host, so he didn't do it.
reminded Zhang Xiu of her widowed aunt.
With the intention of drinking, Zhang Xiu thought a lot on the way out of the city, and when he returned to the military village, he relayed to Jia Xu the situation in the hall today, and asked, "What can Mr. teach me?" ”
Because Zhang Xiu and his generals went to drink, Jia Xu stayed in the army to sit in the town, who knew that he had just finished speaking boringly, Jia Xu had already stood up and said with a sad feeling: "The general has missed a good opportunity!" ”
"Where's the opportunity?"
"The general is the Taishou of Nanyang, so the envoy doesn't know you? It is clear that he knows who Jiang Duliao is, so he is arrogant and wants to retreat from the general's north, making Jiang Duliao suspicious! If the general can take the lead in killing the envoy one step earlier, he can remove Jiang Duliao's doubts and ensure the retreat of Zhao Guo in the north. Jia Xu said to Zhang Xiu: "And Jiang Duliao killed the envoy, one is angry, and the other is also to remove the general's intention to surrender to the south, if the general can keep the envoy one step earlier and take advantage of the chaos to get out, he can protect the future of the south to return to Jingzhou." At present, the north is also suspicious, and the south is also suspicious, where can the general go? ”
Huh? Zhang Xiu poured cold water on his face and chewed carefully, it was really like what Jia Xu said, somehow he pushed himself to a dead end, as if he had let Jiang Jin and the messenger play tricks!
Originally, the little good impression of Jiang Jin in his heart was 'poof' and disappeared.
"What does the gentleman think he should do now?"
Jia Xu said without thinking: "If the general wants to go north to join Yan, he only needs to attack Jingzhou with Jiang Duliao." ”
"If you want to return to Jingzhou, will you be safe?"
Jia Xu paused for a moment, he didn't think it was a good idea, but he still said: "Go the opposite, attack Jiang Jin and win, and return to Jingzhou to explain to Liu Gong." ”
But when it comes to attacking Jiang Jin, Zhang Xiu is in trouble, first, he respects Jiang Jin's temperament, and second, Zhang Xiu said: "General Jiang has a lot of soldiers and horses, and I am afraid that he will not be able to win the war." ”
"The generals of Beizhou, Du Liao Jiang Jin is the weakest among them." This time, Jia Xu couldn't bear it, looked at Zhang Xiu in great surprise, and said, "Doesn't the general know?" ”
Zhang Xiu really didn't know, he was even more surprised than Jia Xu, and said: "This is definitely not the case, Jiang Jinzhi's army is extremely strong, and the camp is also in order...... That's not right. ”
"The generals of Beizhou are all weak and bullying, but Jiang Jin is strong but cannot bully the weak, even if he has thousands of troops and horses, it is difficult to defeat the generals in the way of using soldiers."
Jia Xu was not optimistic about Jiang Jin at all, in fact, the generals of the Yan clan had read all the battles since the Second Zhang Rebellion, and even knew the combat methods and habits of the generals better than some of the staff who joined the Yan clan after the imperial court moved the capital. In his opinion, Lu Yi, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Gao Ran, plus Tian Yu, who commanded the naval army, can be called the five difficult generals of the Yan clan to fight, as for Tai Shici, Zhao Yun, Hua Xiong, Dian Wei and others, they all have the courage of a hundred people, and they should be worried when they meet on the battlefield. Zhang Jaw and others, who have not even shown great ambition but have more strength than their official positions, should not be underestimated.
But Jiang Jin is the only one among these people.
Creak! Fighting against the Southern Huns, what is that thing called!
In the past, it was an exaggeration to say that a Han enemy Wuhu was a little exaggerated, but today's armor skills and soldier quality, as long as there is a similar general, it is not difficult to fight a Han enemy Wuhu battle; There is no other reason, it is far ahead of the Hu soldiers in terms of logistics and armor technology, and both sides have fought tactically for hundreds of years without too many new tricks, and the Han people have been fighting for more than ten years, and the elite soldiers are much more elite than the loose soldiers of the Hu people.
But Jiang Duliao just lost.
However, Jia Xu also found that although Jiang Jin's way of brave soldiers and horses did not grow after the flooding of Gongsun Jun, his brain became more and more similar to his brother, and now he actually knew that he used words to squeeze Liu Biao...... This had never happened before, and Jiang Jin had never shown any resourcefulness.
Maybe the flooded Gongsun Army can make a mark?
Jia Xu thought about this, but said to Zhang Xiu, who was secretly planning how to clean up Jiang Jin: "But now that I return to Jingzhou, I am afraid that the general will have almost no place to stand after the war!" ”
"What do you mean by that, sir?"
"The general can defeat Jiang Duliao, but it is really difficult to defeat the frustrated Gonghe, not to mention that it has the advantage of eight passes, and now it is October, and the general can break through Yique Pass at the end of the month? If not, then it is meaningless to enter Sizhou, but it will make the Yan clan hateful, not to mention that Yanzhou will have to attack and defend next year, is it possible that the general will face the Yan army's crusade, Liu Jingsheng can give the general some help? ”
This question made Zhang Xiu's heart cold, and he muttered: "Jingzhou and I are just using each other, Jingzhou tried its best to appease Zhang when he had soldiers, if he is weak one day, I am afraid that Jingzhou will be the first to attack...... No one has forgotten that my uncle died in Jingzhou. However, why did Mr. assert that the offensive and defensive situation would be easy in the coming year, could it be that Cao Yanzhou, Yuan Qingzhou, and the powerful alliance of the Han clan princes and kings could not resist the southward offensive of the Yan clan? Even if they are defeated, they can't be defeated so quickly, right? ”
Whether you want it or not, the alliance of kings will make people think of the former alliance against Dong, Zhang Xiu said: "In the past, the defeat of the coalition army was due to the fact that the people of the people were uneven, and they had no intention of fighting after Dong Gong moved the capital to Chang'an, so they retreated without a fight. Now that the alliance of kings is huge, and the kingdoms are all within the two states, it is enough to support the grain and grass of the headquarters, and the baggage is sufficient to fight and the natural offensive is rapid, and they have no disadvantages in the past coalition army, can't this be victorious? ”
"It's true that the coalition forces don't have the disadvantages of the past, but they also don't have the advantages of the past. In addition to King Chen and Liu Pet, can there be outstanding people among the princes and kings? I'm afraid that there has never been, where do they have the ability to match such talents as Yan Zhongqing, Cao Mengde, and Yuan Benchu? Could it be that the general thinks that Sun Wentai alone will be able to do things? What's more, although the kings are united, they may not be united with the allies, they can't tolerate Yan Zhongqing, can they tolerate Cao Mengde? In the long run, even if the coalition army is not defeated in less than half a year, it will definitely look like a god, if the troops are divided and leave, there is no need for Yan Zhongqing, only Jiang Duliao can play those Han clan relatives in applause! ”
"If the general doesn't go north to join Yan, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
