Under the night, the camp.

When Jia Xu saw Zhang Xiu coming, he bowed respectfully: "Lord, please send me back the news carefully. Cao Cao has appointed Zhong Yao as the Sili School Captain, and is a prescription for the heroes in Guanzhong."

"In addition, he has sent tens of thousands of troops, known as the 300,000 army, with Cao Ren as the vanguard, Xiahou Dun as the rear army, Xu Huang and Xu Chu as the left and right governors."

"Cao Cao personally led the central army and headed straight for Yecheng."

"In addition, Sun Ce from Jiangdong also raised more than tens of thousands of troops, claiming to be a 200,000 army, and sent troops to Lujiang and Chaisang respectively, and the two places were in urgent need."

Jia Xu looked solemn. Cao Cao and Sun Ce were both heroes of the times. Now they raised more than 100,000 troops to capture Jingzhou, which has already made the whole country panic.

Zhang Xiu frowned, not surprised but looked solemn. Both of them were not foolish. It was difficult to defeat with their strong strength. It seemed that the good days were over again.

"It's safe to have Huang Zhong, Wen Pin, Zhao Yun and others stationed in Yecheng, but there is only Liu Ye stationed 8,000 troops in Lujiang, which is probably difficult to last for a long time."

"In this way, tomorrow, Zhang Liao will lead 3,000 cavalry to Lujiang to assist Liu Ye in defense. In addition, Taishi Ci will lead 5,000 infantry to Wuguan and guard the border."

Wuguan is the main road to Guanzhong. Even if Zhang Xiu knew that Liu Bei might rebel against Cao Cao, he could not take it lightly. After all, Guanzhong was Zhong Yao.

Jia Xu frowned and said, "Lord, Taishi Ci is a surrendered general after all. Now that the local area is in a hurry, there must be no mistakes. If he is asked to command the army to guard Wuguan, it may be inappropriate."

"What's more, he has no achievements and may not be able to convince the public. It would be better to let Xu Shu be the general and govern Taishi Ci to guard Wu Pass. I think Taishi Ci would not say much."

Zhang Xiu nodded, "Well, as Wenhe said, you can feel at ease even if you have Xu Shu guarding Wu Guanwu. Tomorrow, I will worship my ancestors and worship the sky, go north to Yecheng, and fight with Cao Cao to the death."

"Nanyang, you must not lose it!"

"Lord, now our three armies are mostly scattered and stationed in various places, so that Xiangyang lacks garrison and has weak control over the local area. I am worried that Jingnan will not be at ease!"

Jia Xu hesitated and said in a deep voice.

"You mean Jiaozhi?" Zhang Xiu frowned.

"It's not just Jiaozhi, but Jingnan's forces are complex, with Shanyue, powerful people, and even Zhang Xian and other remnants. Our army has limited control. If the focus is on the north, we may be afraid of the rebellion of Jingnan."

"At that time, our army will be attacked from both sides, and Jingzhou will inevitably be in turmoil. In this way, the aristocratic families in Jingzhou will not be guaranteed to take advantage of the situation and make trouble." Jia Xu said solemnly.

After listening to Jia Xu's words, Zhang Xiu was quite serious and there were too many things to do with back stabbing. Almost all the princes had to be back stabbed, among which Boss Cao had the most back stabbed.

For example, Chen Gong and Lu Bu, and there have always been rebellions everywhere, there are too many, so he has to send troops to suppress them, which will make the troops that are not rich worse.

"What do Wenhe thinks should do it?" Zhang Xiu said solemnly.

Jia Xu pondered a little, then said, "Lord, Xu thought he should send a general to lead 30,000 troops, claiming to be a hundred thousand elite armors to guard Changsha."

"Leading 30,000 troops? Wenhe, our Jingzhou army is only about 100,000. Now Wuguan, Yecheng, Chaisang, and Lujiang all need heavy troops to guard Changsha. How can 30,000 troops come to guard Changsha?"

Zhang Xiu looked at Jia Xu in surprise.

"Haha, lord can follow the example of Dong Zhuo's way of entering Beijing back then." Jia Xu chuckled his beard and said.

"Dong Zhuo? Are you talking about going out at night and returning at daytime?" Zhang Xiu's pupils shone and he said suddenly.

"That's right, when Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, he transferred his troops out of the city at night because of his limited military equipment. He returned one after another during the day and acted as reinforcements."

"That was done by this method that made the people in the world think that there was a huge number of Western Liang cavalry in Luoyang, so no one dared to be in trouble. Therefore, the lord only needs to send 5,000 people."

"In this way, there are 30,000 Jingjia stationed in Changsha. The Jingnan clans dare not rebel, Shanyue dare not rebel, and Jiaozhi Shixie needs to weigh one or two more, and he will win three goals in one go."

Jia Xu was sure to win and said with a chuckle.

"Good," Zhang Xiu smiled, then frowned and said, "Wenhe, who do you think you should lead the army?"

"Why would you let Zhao Fan and Niu Jin and Fu Tong lead the army, which will strengthen our army's momentum, and secondly, will the people in the world see my Zhang Xiu's attitude of being based on merit?"

"No, this is absolutely not allowed."

"Lord, Zhao Fan, Niu Jin, and Fu Tong have just joined the army. Not to mention that they are not familiar with the battle formation, they can't convince the public to conquer Jingnan just because they have no achievements."

"Xu thought that Jingnan's profits were far superior to the front line, and he must send famous generals to guard it. Only in this way can our army be safe in the rear and be at ease against Cao Cao and Sun Ce."

"Otherwise, once Jingnan changes, our army will have to shrink its front line. In this way, Nanyang and Lujiang will be occupied by Cao Cao and Sun Ce."

"The cavalry of the Lord of Nanyang will be abandoned, and there will be no springboard to attack Cao Cao. In this way, Cao Cao will be free of worries. It is difficult to lose Chaisang in Lujiang, and it is difficult to capture Yangzhou."

Jia Xu looked solemn and said anxiously.

"Wen and who do you think you should send to guard Jingnan?" Zhang Xiu thought for a moment and then said.

"Haha," Jia Xu chuckled and said in a deep voice: "Is there anyone under the lord's command who is more suitable than General Wen Pinwen?"

"Wen Pin?" Zhang Xiu was surprised.

"That's right, General Wen has already shocked Jingnan. If this person is responsible for guarding Jingnan, I would have thought that all the aristocratic families would be afraid, and all the mountains and rivers would be shrunk, and Shi Xie would be afraid."

"And General Wen has a great military achievements. I think everyone under his command dares to refuse to accept it. He is a great candidate." Jia Xu said loudly.

After listening to Jia Xu's words, Zhang Xiu nodded, as if he agreed, and immediately said, "Since that's the case, I will ask Wen to return to Xiangyang to guard Jingnan on the day."

"It's so good," Jia Xu said, and then said: "In addition, since our army is defending the enemy from Jiangbei, Xiangyang must stay with his lord's confidant, and he is a good government official to manage government affairs."

"Wenhe, don't you keep Xiangyang in charge of government affairs?" Zhang Xiu asked in surprise.

Jia Xu shook his head and said immediately: "This battle is of great importance. I should follow my lord north. What's more, those who are not proficient in government affairs in Xiangyang cannot operate this time."

Jia Xu's eyes were solemn. Four grain roads, oh no, should be considered as five grain roads that require orderly operation. At the same time, it also needs to ensure the stability of Jingzhou and ensure that the Jingzhou family does not rebel. They must be politically capable ministers.

"A person who is proficient in government affairs?" Zhang Xiu frowned and continued: "Wander Wenhe refers to Kong Ming?"

"Well, Zhuge Liang is humble but arrogant, but his internal affairs are beyond my reach. In recent days, he has been more skilled in government affairs."

"If he was responsible for the government affairs of Jingxiang, there would be no security on the front line." Jia Xu gave a high evaluation. Although he didn't want the Zhuge Xushu faction to become bigger, these people were all full of knowledge and talent, so it would be no pity.

After saying that, Jia Xu hesitated and said, "But although Zhuge Liang is mature, he is not as old as the champion after all, and it is not his turn to be senior. I'm worried..."

"Are you worried that someone will not accept it?" Zhang Xiu frowned and shouted: "It's okay, I know what I know. I will discuss matters tomorrow."

"Okay, it's getting late, Wenhe takes a break soon."

"Master Xie is concerned, Xu goes down first."
