Jia Xu's eyes are unique, like a torch, and he can see Zhang Yan's inner worry at a glance, at this time, Zhang Yan, standing in front of Jia Xu, is like a child without clothes, everything is seen by Jia Xu.

However, Zhang Yan is very glad that he has such a good teacher and best friend as Jia Xu, Jia Xu is like a mirror, which can reflect his shortcomings, and like a father, when Zhang Yan is confused, he points out a bright road to Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan enjoys this extraordinary relationship with Jia Xu very much, like father and son, like master and apprentice, and like close friends, two people with a big age difference, they have become a good pair of old friends, and both of them seem to want to continue this relationship.

At the beginning, Chen Deng was the only person Zhang Yan who was a confidant, and after Chen Deng's death, this gap was filled by Jia Xu. And because Jia Xu is older and has more life experience, he often thinks about things at a deeper level than others.

Being able to have such an intimate relationship with the famous "poison man" in the history of the Three Kingdoms, Zhang Yan feels that it is a pleasure. If it were someone else, he wouldn't have found that feeling. And in his opinion, the "poisoner" is not only not poisonous, but more benevolent, generous, and generous, and his body is full of the demeanor of an elder.

In front of Jia Xu, Zhang Yan didn't think about hiding anything, but about Sima Yi's question, he couldn't tell Jia Xu directly, how did this person behave in history, if he said this, Jia Xu would definitely think that he was a psychopath.

Therefore, Zhang Yan thought about it for a while, and then went through some processing. said to Jia Xu: "I asked someone to see Sima Yi's photo." The man said that Sima Yi had a backbone in the back of his head. I may not be able to see anything now, but as long as the power is in hand, over time, I will inevitably have the heart of plotting and usurping rebellion. However, Sima Yi is an outstanding talent, and he can be regarded as a leader among the younger generation, and he handled the issue of Jingzhou very well, which made our army enter Jingzhou. can be bloodless, and accept Jingzhou smoothly. ”

After Jia Xu heard this, he thought for a moment, and then said to Zhang Yan: "There are two sides to everything, the key is to see how you look at it." The words of the phase master are not necessarily accurate, even if the calculation is extremely accurate, as far as the current Sima Yi is concerned, he is still just a yellow-haired boy, with no power and no soldiers in his hands, what is he doing to rebel? ”

There was a pause. Jia Xu continued: "No one can say what will happen in the future. His Royal Highness doesn't need to dwell on this, while Sima Yi is still working for His Highness, he can't waste this talent. If His Royal Highness finds out that there is anything abnormal about Sima Yi in the future, he can be deposed, or put under house arrest, and if necessary, he can even break the wrist of a strong man! ”

One minute ago, Jia Xu still admired Sima Yi very much, but the next minute, Jia Xu persuaded Zhang Yan to kill Sima Yi once he found out that Sima Yi was abnormal, and the two seemed to be contradictory, but in fact there was no contradiction at all.

In the former, Jia Xu thought about the Han and recommended talents to the Han as much as possible. The latter, also for the sake of the Han Dynasty, was built to kill Sima Yi by Zhang Yan to ensure the prosperity of the Han Dynasty.

Moreover, when Jia Xu said this, his eyelids didn't even blink, as if Sima Yi was like a dispensable person.

Zhang Yan said: "In addition to this reason, I am also worried that Sima Yi's strategic plan will be too delayed, and it will also cause dissatisfaction among the generals in the army, and I am even more worried that Zhou Yu will see that this is our trick, and this strategic plan is also a bit too risky." ”

Jia Xu hurriedly said: "It's not a risk, it's a gamble!" Sima Yi is making a big gamble, if we win, we can take the whole of Jiangdong and eliminate the Sun clan. If we lose the bet, we will not lose anything, at most the reputation of the lord will be lost. ”

Zhang Yan felt that Jia Xu's analysis was very thorough, and after talking with him freely, his mood was also much soothed and happier.

"Your Highness, Sima Yi's strategic plan is actually a plan to pride the enemy, most of our army are soldiers and horses from the north, and they don't know much about water, and they will get dizzy even when they take a boat, let alone go to war. Although there is a surrendered Jingzhou Navy to rely on, but the Jingzhou Navy does not have a suitable naval army general to command, it is definitely impossible to win the battle. Zhou Yu has been immersed in the navy for a long time, and his subordinates are all elites, and if he fights the Jiangdong navy, he is likely to suffer heavy losses. In addition, the recent hot weather has entered the Yangtze River, and there are general high temperatures on both sides of the Yangtze River, and if you go out on the expedition under such circumstances, not only will people and animals not be able to stand it, but once the dead bodies are not cleaned up in time, it is very likely that a plague will break out in the army. Once the plague is rampant, no matter how many troops our army has, it will be in vain. Therefore, I also think that Sima Yi's plan is very effective, which can not only avoid the scorching heat, but also implement the strategy of arrogance against the enemy, and also free up a lot of time to continue to strengthen the training of the navy. Jia Xu said.

Zhang Yan nodded and said, "You and I have the same idea, but whether Zhou Yu will be fooled or not is only up to fate." ”

Sima Yi's strategic plan is highly confidential, and because it involves the enemy's plan, it can only keep the vast majority of people in the dark, and only a very small number of people can know about it.

Therefore, except for Zhang Yan, Jia Xu, and Sima Yi, no one knows about this highly confidential matter.

The next day, as soon as everyone had rebelled, Zhang Yan sent someone to summon everyone to the hall to discuss matters. When the summoned people arrived in the hall one after another, Zhang Yan announced in public the appointment of Sima Yi as the general of Pingnan, temporarily holding the rank of major marshal, and concurrently serving as a military advisor.

As soon as this appointment was promulgated, it immediately stirred up quite a wave among the ministers. Among the people in the hall, there are many generals who can fight and are accustomed to fighting, and there are even more talented people with clever plans and full of wisdom, but I don't know why, I chose Sima Yi.

"Sima Yi is a simple yellow-haired boy, can he know what war is? His Royal Highness King Yan, are you mistaken? Xu Huang is a straight man, as soon as he heard that it was Sima Yi, a yellow-haired boy, who was the general of Pingnan, he was not very convinced, and shouted directly.

Zhang Yan said: "The reason why this king made this decision was after careful consideration. General Xu, you don't have to look at Sima Yi young and despise him. ”

Xu Huang said: "His Royal Highness King Yan, there are so many people in the hall, why did you choose him?" General Zhao, General Taishi, and General Zhang, which one is not the three armies of Yongguan, who can fight habitually and have experienced a hundred battles? It is not in question whether the last general chooses any of them, because the last general is convinced of them. Even if His Highness chooses General Ma, the last general will not have any opinion, but His Highness ......"

"It's nothing good, this king has made up his mind, and he will never change it. From now on, Sima Yi is the general of Pingnan, with the rank of major marshal. In addition, Pang Tong, Zhuge Liang, Xu You and others joined the army, Chen Lin was the main book, Jia Xu was the supervisor, Tai Shici, Huang Zhong, Ma Chao, Zhang He, Pang De, Wen Ping and others stayed in Xiazhi County, and the rest of the generals all returned to their own defense areas, actively prepared for battle, and were always on standby. Those who dare to disobey will be beheaded for public display! Zhang Yan didn't wait for Xu Huang to finish speaking, and then said sharply.

Zhang Yan's words were loud, and the hall was dumbfounded, no matter how dissatisfied someone was, in front of Zhang Yan, he didn't dare to express himself again.

At this time, Sima Yi squeezed out of the crowd, and respectfully hugged his fists towards Zhang Yan and said: "Thank you His Royal Highness King Yan for your trust in Weichen, Weichen will do his best, and he will definitely live up to His Royal Highness King Yan's high hopes for Weichen, take Jiangdong, eliminate the Sun family, and sacrifice Sun Quan's head!" ”

Zhang Yan waved his hand and said: "Very good, this king has great expectations for you, and I hope you can do everything you just said." ”

After the meeting ended, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, Lu Meng, Jiang Qin, Lu Su, Liu Ye, Xu You, Cui Yan, Gao Rou and others returned to their defense areas one after another, but Xu Huang was reluctant to leave, and he walked out only after all the people in the hall were gone.

However, Xu Huang did not leave, but went straight to Zhang Yan, wanting to persuade Zhang Yan again, begging Zhang Yan to retract his fate and choose another general of Pingnan.

Xu Huang came to Zhang Yan's residence, and before he arrived, he was blocked out of the courtyard gate by the Jinyi guard who was responsible for guarding here, and said directly to Xu Huang: "This is the place where King Yan rests, no one is allowed to enter without being summoned by His Royal Highness King Yan, please cooperate with the general!" ”

When Xu Huang heard this, he was immediately a little annoyed, and as soon as his temper came up, he said to the Jinyi guard who was blocking his way: "Do you know who General Ben is?" Dodge away, or else, you'll be eaten by your good fruit! ”

"His Royal Highness King Yan has instructed that no matter who comes, they must be reported. Even if the general is the left general of the current dynasty, there can be no exceptions! Jin Yiwei said.

Xu Huang ate a closed door, and because this person was a Jinyi guard, he chose to swallow his anger and said to the Jinyi guard: "Since this is the case, then please go in and inform His Royal Highness King Yan for me, just say that I Xu Huang has something to tell His Highness." ”

Jin Yiwei said coldly: "Wait here, I'll go in and report." ”

As soon as the words fell, Jin Yiwei turned around and entered the courtyard gate, and the rest of the Jin Yiwei filled the vacancy of the departing Jin Yiwei, still looking at Xu Huang with fierce eyes, and there was no fear of people like Xu Huang at all.

Jinyiwei is an intelligence force formed by Zhang Yan, the king of Yan, and has many privileges, as long as the king of Yan gives an order, he can be arrested immediately, without going through the government. At the same time, Jinyiwei is also a spy unit and a secret organization responsible for spying on many important people.

Xu Huang didn't dare to provoke, so he could only swallow his anger, and after waiting for a while, the Jinyi guard who went in to report came back and motioned for Xu Huang to go in, so that Xu Huang was able to enter the small courtyard where Zhang Yan, the king of Yan, was located.

"The last general will see His Royal Highness King Yan!" Xu Huang walked directly to Zhang Yan's side and said with his fists cupped.

Zhang Yan hurriedly asked, "Why are you still here, why haven't you returned to the Yueyang Defense Zone?" (To be continued......)
