Chapter 633 Jia Xu South Comes
The loss of Wancheng and Niu Fu's murder soon reached Zhang Ji, who went to Yuzhou to compete for the city.
The moment Zhang Ji heard the news, his head suddenly roared.
His eyes turned pale and he fainted on the spot.
Zhang Xiu was beside him, and when he saw his uncle's appearance, he was shocked. He hurriedly ran forward, hugged Zhang Ji, shook, pinched the person again, shook and shouted, finally awakening Zhang Ji.
Zhang Ji slowly opened his eyes, and after Zhang Xiu touched his chest and calmed his anger, he sobbed: "Lu Bu dog thief, cut off my back and kill my robes. Now my family is all trapped in Wancheng. What should I do? What should I do?"
Zhang Xiu couldn't answer the question Zhang Ji asked.
In the end, the uncle and nephew had to invite Jia Xu to help analyze the current situation.
Jia Xu's opinions were very pertinent.
"Give up Wancheng, go to Xiangyang, and join the Liu family in Shanyang."
To be honest, when saying these fourteen-word mantras, Jia Xu did not have much self-interest in his heart, but planned to win the win with Zhang Ji and his uncle and nephew.
Niu Fu died, and the remaining three people were like grasshoppers on a rope. Jia Xu didn't want to see their uncle and nephew follow Niu Fu's footsteps, hoping that they could have a good destination.
It was at this moment that Huang Zhong's envoy rushed to Yuzhou and in the name of Huang Zhong, he surrendered Zhang Ji and others to Jingzhou.
If Zhang Ji knew the truth and agreed with the flow, it would be quite good.
But the problem is that they are really ignorant.
"Give me a stick to the camp!" After hearing the envoy's words of persuading surrender, Zhang Ji waved his hand and directly asked the envoy from Xiangyang to get out of the camp. He didn't want to listen to any words of persuading surrender.
Jia Xu stood beside Zhang Ji and watched indifferently as Zhang Ji drove Huang Zhong's envoy out, Fang said: "From the meaning of General Zhonglang, do you still want to continue fighting with Lu Bu?"
Zhang Ji said angrily: "Lu Bu took away my foundation, destroyed my home, killed my colleagues, and ruined my relatives. I am irreconcilable with him, so I will naturally fight!"
Jia Xu sighed and said, "If you want to fight... you might as well use the power of Jingzhou, it is not too late to fight with him."
Zhang Ji turned his head suddenly, his voice gradually getting colder.
"Wenhe, as the captain of my Xiliang Army, you must put your mind in a proper way. You must consider our soldiers of the three armies, and you must not be biased!"
Jia Xu said expressionlessly: "I am not biased, what I think in my heart is always to find a good home for the soldiers and myself."
Zhang Ji stood up and said, "Good home? Your good home is to sell us all to Xiangyang, which is cheaper for people from Jingzhou?"
Jia Xu replied in a panic: "The General of the Central Army misunderstood me, I have never thought about it like this."
"You asked us to seize Yuzhou in the past and achieve his own hegemony. Now you let us follow Jingzhou and be servants of others? But why?"
Jia Xu sighed lightly: "Because of the times, that's all... If the General of the Central Army doesn't believe me, kill me, why bother to blame me?"
Zhang Ji was so choked by Jia Xu's words that he didn't know how to answer.
Kill Jia Xu... He never thought about it before.
"Forget it, don't mention the old things! Zhang is going to lead his troops back to Wancheng and pursue Lu Bu!"
Jia Xu heard this and said, "I want to advise the general of the Central Army to stop chasing him."
"I have decided to do it. I will not give up until I kill Lu Bu!"
Jia Xu couldn't help but remain silent when he heard this.
When he was young, Fang listened to him slowly: "The Bingzhou army under Lu Bu's command advanced very quickly. If you want to chase, you still need to select a sharp horse riding a fast horse to catch up."
Zhang Ji raised his hand and said, "I naturally know such a small matter. I will personally order the elite strong cavalry to chase Lu Bu overnight... Humph, the one named Lu just captured Wancheng and returned with great victory. He must be proud and arrogant. I know him too well... I will attack him by taking advantage of the negligence this time, and I will definitely be able to kill his head and hang it above the gate!"
Zhang Ji was eager to seek revenge on Lu Bu, and Jia Xu understood that he was powerless to stop him... Forget it, if you can't stop it, you can't stop it.
However, he thought that after Lu Bu broke Wancheng, he would be proud and take advantage of the opportunity to attack and win a complete victory... This is nothing wrong.
Lu Bu, who was once seen in Luoyang and Chang'an, was indeed a person with a higher attitude than his superiority.
But can you guarantee that there are no other capable people in Luoyang City now who follow the army to remind Lu Bu to set up defenses?
Anyway, Jia Xu himself cannot guarantee it.
...
Zhang Ji led his troops to attack that night and chased after Lu Bu's army.
The infantry of the Western Liang Army led by Jia Xu and other Xiliang Army captains returned along the road heading north of Zhang Ji as a follow-up support.
This was also when there was no publication. The distance between the two sides was not short. If Zhang Ji wanted to catch up with Lu Bu, he could only use the Western Liang cavalry to pursue him at full speed. The speed of his infantry team was too slow. If the entire army pursued him, the rear team could only drag the front army back and miss the opportunity to fight.
Facts have proved that Jia Xu's judgment was correct.
When the subsequent infantry troops of the Liangzhou Army arrived at the Jinzang Beach in the southeast of Nanyang County, Jia Xu welcomed Zhang Xiu and led the defeated Xiliang cavalry back to see him in panic.
Lu Bu did not leave the territory of Wancheng at all. He retreated to Luoyang and was just emitting smoke bombs, and the smoke bomb just caught Zhang Ji's eyes in anger.
There is no doubt that it was Li Ru's idea to ask Lu Bu to withdraw his troops if he pretended to withdraw his troops, but it was Li Ru's idea to lie in the middle of the journey.
These people knew each other very well, Zhang Ji knew Lu Bu, but Li Ru was also familiar with Zhang Ji's nature.
He knew that, given Zhang Ji's hot temper and situation, if he heard that Niu Fu was dead and Wancheng fell, he would definitely not let Lu Bu go.
This is what Li Ru said to Lu Bu in the previous episode, and another great contribution was given to him.
"Mr. Wenhe... uncle he... died in battle!"
Zhang Xiu's face was covered with dust and dry blood, and he was so embarrassed that he didn't look like a general. The first thing he did when he saw Jia Xu was about to hold Jia Xu, he felt sad, and his crying sounded so sad.
It is a kind of emotional catharsis from the heart.
A tough young man on weekdays, who would have thought that he would cry like this?
Jia Xu sighed and reached out and patted Zhang Xiu on the back.
First he lost his father in Liangzhou, but now Ruby's father's uncle has also passed away. The future of this young man is like these defeated soldiers, like a duckweed in the wind, shaking.
"How did General Zhonglang leave?" Jia Xu asked just after Zhang Xiu's crying slightly.
"Uncle, he was ambushed by Lu Bu, and he was hit by more than ten arrows!"
Although Zhang Xiu was not crying loudly, tears were still dripping down his cheeks, and his voice was full of regret and grief: "The soldiers who were with my uncle in the front army have not been killed forever. Because I was in the rear, I was not poisoned by Lu Bu's army, but I hate it... I can't even rob my uncle's body!"
When he said this, he saw that Zhang Xiu was already beating his chest and stamping his feet, and his tone trembled, looking particularly desolate.
When Jia Xu heard that Zhang Xiu had not even taken back Zhang Ji's body, he couldn't help but feel a little clear and sad.
In this era, the whole body is the most important thing for a person to die. After all, the ancients did not have comprehensive knowledge. In their opinion, people would still feel pain after death. The corpse would be connected with their spiritual consciousness, so they were extremely particular about being buried in peace.
Jia Xu stood aside, without saying a word, but gently comforted Zhang Xiu's broad back.
It was not until Zhang Xiu recovered a little from his regret that Jia Xu pulled him to the side and said, "The Major General is mourning. People cannot be resurrected when they die. General Zhonglang is dead. However, the remaining soldiers of the three armies are still undecided. They still need to follow the Major General in the future. Please do not indulge in sorrow and cheer up earlier."
Zhang Xiu wiped his tears and wiped his face dirty.
"Yes, what Wen Hegong said is... Alas, I regret not listening to the gentleman's words, but at this critical moment, where should we go?"
Jia Xu said lightly: "I will still say the previous sentence, first protect yourself and then develop. According to the current situation of our army, the troops will be scattered. According to the loss, if you are about to take a wrong step... I am afraid that all the soldiers of our three armies will die without a place to die."
At this moment, how could Zhang Xiu not understand what Jia Xu said was right?
He nodded vigorously: "Since that's the case, I will lead my troops to Xiangyang and surrender to Huang Zhong."
Zhang Ji was defeated and died. In desperation, Zhang Xiu had no choice but to lead his soldiers to Xiangyang to seek surrender to Huang Zhong.
But the problem is that Huang Zhong is unwilling to accept them now.
After all, he had sent someone to surrender Zhang Ji with kindness, but his envoy had just met Zhang Ji and was driven out by him.
With Huang Zhong's temper, he would definitely not be able to withstand such humiliation.
Now he is also the number one general in Jingzhou and is famous all over the world. How can he ignore his face?
Zhang Ji's kindness of trampling on Huang Zhong at will made Huang Zhong feel very uncomfortable.
Therefore, after Zhang Xiu's envoy arrived in Xiangyang, he received a reply that "Liu Zhenxi is not in Xiangyang, and he is surrendered, so Huang cannot make decisions without authorization."
After being held back by Huang Zhong, Zhang Xiu felt even more panicked.
It's just because his military rations are about to be exhausted.
At this crisis, Jia Xu personally went to Xiangyang to meet Huang Zhong.
Jia Xu is also a person who doesn't like to talk much on weekdays, but this time, in order to successfully enter Jingzhou, he also gave up his old face and fought hard.
