Three Kingdoms: I, the Emperor of Wei, am loyal and honest! - #124 - Chapter 124

Si Libu, Hongnong County, Mianchi.

This place is east of Tongguan, west of Hangu Pass, and about a hundred miles east is Hangu Pass.

Not far from Hangu Pass, there are Luoyang and Mengjing Pass.

At this moment, Ma Teng, Han Sui and more than a dozen other princes from Guanzhong are marching here.

As long as we march for another day or two, we can leave Hangu Pass in the east.

At that time, after heading northeast to outflank Cao Cao at Mengjin Pass, he and Gao Gan’s Bingzhou Army attacked Cao Cao’s army.

Marching to the southeast, you can attack the counties in Yuzhou and go straight to Xudu!

Therefore, although the team of the Guanzhong princes is a ragtag crowd, their morale is rare and high at this moment.

Even Li Jue, Guo Si and others, after being temporarily negotiated by Yuan Shao’s envoys, arrived first and marched quickly to get here.

It’s not that Li Jue, Guo Si and others worked hard for Yuan Shao, but they were worried that they would be late and Yuzhou would be looted by Ma Teng, Han Sui and others first, and they would not be able to get much profit.

Therefore, outside Mianchi tonight, within a radius of more than a hundred miles, the 200,000 Guanzhong Allied Forces were scattered into more than a dozen camps of various sizes, each camping ten miles apart.

The reason why they camped at a distance was because the princes in Guanzhong had their own old and new grudges, and were full of conflicts. At this time, they put aside the hatred alliance for the time being, but they were also on guard against each other, for fear that one side would suddenly regret it and attack their own camp.

At this moment, Jia Xu, accompanied by Xia Houyuan Xu Huang, climbed up to a peak on the remaining mountain range of Mianchi Mountain and looked up.

I saw the firelight of the camp in the direction of Mianchi, which was roughly divided into a dozen places, each about ten miles apart.

This made Jia Xu couldn’t help but laugh:”Although the princes in Guanzhong were temporarily united by Yuan Shao, they are all on guard after all, and things can be done!” At this moment, Jia Xu’s confidence became even more abundant.

He asked Xia Houyuan to hide here with a large group of troops and most of the vehicles.

He took Xu Huang, led 500 soldiers, and pulled 20 carts of cash boxes, and arrived at the outskirts of the Guanzhong Allied Forces, outside Duan Xuan’s camp, at night.

After reporting his identity, Duan Xuan immediately asked someone to attract Jia Xu.

“Oops, why are Wenhe here!”

Duan Xuan said with enthusiasm when he saw Jia Xu.

He and Jia Xu were from the same hometown. Like Li Jue, Guo Si, Zhang Ji, Fan Chou and others, they were all born in Xiliang, and they were all Dong Zhuo’s subordinates at the beginning. After

Dong Zhuo’s death, Situ Wang Yun was arrogant and was not kind to the old Xiliang tribe. He wanted to liquidate Dong Zhuo’s remaining party, so Jia Xu made suggestions for Li Jue, Guo Bin and other old Xiliang tribes, and united with the Qiang soldiers to cause chaos in Chang’an. Wang Yun died, and Lu Bu fled. The emperor and the officials were hijacked by Li Jue and Guo Si.

Later, Li Jue, Guo Si and Fan Chou fought for power and started fighting among themselves. In order to avoid disaster, Zhang Ji led his troops to flee Guandong and assassinated Fan Chou and Guo Si. The two families were dominant and had constant disputes.

Jia Xu tried to persuade them to make peace many times, but seeing that Li Jue and Guo Si were both aggressive and short-sighted, he found an opportunity to leave and join the army stationed in Huayin. Another former subordinate of Dong Zhuo, his fellow countryman Duan Xu, was very kind to Jia Xu at first, but later he began to be wary of

Jia Xu because of his prestige in the Xiliang army. Duan Xu was worried that Jia Xu would turn against him and replace him.

At this time, Zhang Ji was killed by an arrow while attacking Liu Biao’s Wancheng. Zhang Ji’s nephew Zhang Xiu had no one to support him, so he sent someone to contact Jia Xu to ask him to assist him.

Duan Xuan was worried that Jia Xu would threaten him. , so he happily sent Jia Xu away to join Zhang Xiu, and also treated Jia Xu’s family well, so that Jia Xu could make foreign aid and serve as Duan Shen’s allies.

Therefore, it can be said that Duan Shen and Jia Xu had some affinity with each other. Jia Xu is a complicated and pragmatic person, and is regarded as a threat. When Jia Xu is under someone else’s account and is friendly with Duan Xuan, he is regarded as a helper by Duan Xuan! It was just right for Jia Xu to break through!

Looking at the enthusiastic Duan Xuan, Jia Xu knew that he had come to the right place.

This fellow countryman knew that he was already under Cao Cao’s account, but he was still so enthusiastic. It was obvious that he had guessed. Jia Xu did not resist the intention of coming, so after chatting with Duan Xuan in the tent, Jia Xu said straight to the point:”I came here on the orders of General Cao Gong to persuade the princes in Guanzhong to rebel against Yuan Shao and help him. Mr. Cao!”

Jia Xu only said that Cao Cao asked him to come, but did not mention Cao Ang at all.

Because he knew the young master best and knew that he cherished his reputation, and did not want the world to know that he was involved in this matter, so he did not mention it at all..

Even if the blame comes, only Jia Xu and Cao Cao, who is already in trouble, will take the blame…

Sure enough, after hearing Jia Xu’s straight-to-the-point explanation, Duan Xuan’s expression flashed, and he said with a helpless smile:”Wen He I don’t know, but helping Yuan Shao was not my original intention.

However, Yuan Shao sent people with heavy sums of money to lobby the princes in Guanzhong, and Li Jue, Guo Si, Ma Teng, Han Sui and others were all bribed.

I was caught in the middle, and I really had no choice but to accept Yuan Shao’s gift.

Now that I have accepted his gift, there is no reason to betray him.”

Jia Xu smiled slightly. Didn’t he understand this fellow countryman?

Duan Yan was not bad in nature, and he didn’t have much ambition. He was just guarding his one-third of an acre of land and preserving his family’s wealth.

But Duan Yan had The loyalty of a thousand dollars and a promise is false.

Otherwise, he would not be cautious about Jia Xu and force this great counselor to leave.

Therefore, Duan Xuan’s words are just for sale. bdcb) Yes, Jia Xu continued to go straight to the point:”How much did Yuan Shao give to the general, and how much did he give to Li Jue, Guo Si and others?”

“Forget it, Yuan Shao gave Li Jue and Guo Si two thousand gold worth of goods each!

But they only gave me five hundred gold!

It’s really infuriating to treat one person so favorably over another!

Some thieves with less powerful leaders were bribed with only two to three hundred gold.”

Duan Xuan said with some annoyance when he mentioned this.

Jia Xu knew in his heart that this was Yuan Shao’s fault. No matter how declining Li Jue and Guo Si were, they were still the leaders in the old Xiliang tribe, and Duan Xuan’s reputation and power were not as good as those of Duan Xuan. There is a difference between Li Jue and Guo Si, so Yuan Shao gave money.

“To be honest, general, when I came this time, Cao Gong gave me sixty carts of goods.

Because I felt like a fellow countryman with the general, I took it upon myself to bring twenty cartloads of goods to the general.

All of them are good new money, one car is worth half a million yuan, and twenty cars is worth 10 million yuan!

General, please take a look!”

Jia Xu said, and ordered Xu Huang to lead people to open all the money boxes on the twenty cars.

Under the light of the torch, the boxes full of new money shone with bright golden light, like gold.

Immediately, Duan Xuan and his soldiers were stunned!

Ten million dollars was roughly equivalent to a thousand pieces of gold, but it looked much more shocking than Ren Jin’s perspective!

Duan Xuan breathed heavily and stepped forward to grab a handful of new money. , realized that this was different from any money before. The two sides were engraved with the characters Jian’an Wu Baht and Qiusi Cao Zhu, and the outline size and weight were larger and thicker than any other money. Although the target was five baht, there was actually more than seven baht!

If Dong Zhuo had cut corners on the small coins without characters before, Cao Lang could have made two and a half coins without characters!

, this money is worth two coins in this era!

These twenty carts of new money are equivalent to two thousand gold!

This made Duan Xuan a little surprised:”This money is more than the ordinary two coins. The son of Cao Gong, Cao Ang, the hussar general, cast money like this. Wouldn’t it be a loss?”

Jia Xu looked at Duan Xuan’s shocked look and smiled mysteriously:”Master Zixiu is a benevolent and righteous person, with the ambition to rectify the world.

The first thing to do is to cast real new money.

Of course, the reason for this is also because Master Zixiu discovered a large amount of copper mines after he captured Xuzhou.

Because there was enough copper material, the coins were made thick and heavy, and some weight was even added to feed the world and bring order to the world.

The general’s twenty new carts of money are just a deposit. If you can help Duke Cao, you will get a bigger reward after defeating Yuan Shao! (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Because I have a close relationship with the general, I thought of this good thing in advance. I hope the general will think twice!”

After Jia Xu finished speaking, Duan Xuan fell into deep thought for a moment.

Looking at the twenty boxes of golden new money in front of him, Duan Xuan was very moved.

Originally, he helped Yuan Shao, firstly because Yuan Shao did have a military advantage and was sitting in the four states of Hebei. He was so rich that he spread money in Guanzhong to make Li Jue, Guo Si and others follow Yuan Shao. Duan Xuan followed suit.

Although Yuan Shao only gave him 500 gold, he also claimed to be a deposit, and waited until he defeated the Cao family and his son. , there was also a generous reward, and they were also allowed to plunder Yuzhou.

In comparison, the twenty boxes of money brought by Jia Xu were worth one or two thousand gold. Although it was more than the deposit given by Yuan Shao, it was not particularly valuable. Advantage.

Of course Jia Xu understood this and continued to fan the flames:”Does the general know that Mr. Cao Ang defeated four princes in three months? Duan

Xuan was shocked and said with amazement:”Now it has been spread throughout the world that Cao Zixiu used his troops like a god. In three months, he defeated four princes, Lu Bu, Yuan Shu, Sun Ce, and Liu Biao, captured two princes, and killed two princes.”.

They left Xudu with 5,000 soldiers and horses, and nearly 300,000 soldiers and horses were collected in March!

Who in the world knows about such a god-like achievement?

Jia Xu smiled meaningfully:”Since the general knows the talents of Master Zixiu, he might as well think about it. Master Zixiu was able to start with five thousand soldiers and horses, wipe out four princes, and withdraw 300,000 troops.”

Now that there are more than 200,000 troops in hand, there is no need to think about the outcome of the decisive battle with Yuan Shao in the Guandu area?

The general may not know something. In the battle of Guandu a few days ago, Young Master Cao Ang had already defeated Yuan Shao. He killed Yuan Shao’s general Yan Liang and killed tens of thousands of his enemies.

After Yuan Shao’s defeat, even the great banner was captured by the generals under the command of Master Cao Ang. Now he has retreated to Suanzao and is trying every means to mobilize reinforcements.

Young Master Cao Ang sent Liu Bei north to relieve Gongsun Zan of Yi Jing. At that time, Gongsun Zan led his army south from Youzhou and attacked Yuan Shao’s back. How could Yuan Shao be invincible?

Moreover, Young Master Cao Ang sent Guan Yu to lead a group of troops back to guard Xudu.

Guan Yu was brave enough that no one could match him. Back then, Hua Xiong of our Xiliang army was beheaded by Guan Yu. Who among the old Xiliang troops can stop him now?”

“Therefore, even if the generals, Li Jue, Guo Si and others attacked Xu Du, they would not be able to capture it.

When Young Master Cao Ang defeats Yuan Shao and returns with a massive victory over the Tiger and Wolf troops, the general will be surrounded by a ragtag group of people such as Li Jue and Guo Si. How can he be Young Master Cao Ang’s opponent?

Moreover, the princes in Guanzhong all have their own hidden agendas, and when there is an interest, they scramble to be the first.

When in danger, he is afraid of betraying his allies and runs faster than anyone else.

What will the general do when he gets there?

Sun Ce was so brave that he was known as the little overlord. He wanted to attack Lujiang, but he was killed by Young Master Cao Ang.

If the general goes against Yuan Shao and attacks the foundation of Yuzhou, how can he survive?”

Jia Xu’s words were full of lies and truth. Duan Xuan broke into cold sweat the moment he said it!

Although Liu Bei turned to Yuan Shao and did not go to rescue Gongsun Zan, Duan Xuan didn’t know!

When he thought of what Jia Xu said about Cao Ang’s layout, and Cao Ang’s Duan Yan felt that if this was true, Cao Ang would definitely win!

He could no longer defy Yuan Shao and bring about his own destruction!

So Duan Yan did not hesitate and said immediately:”I am willing to listen to Wen. With the words of He, surrender to Duke Cao and Master Cao Ang!

It’s just that I have less than 20,000 troops and horses in my hands, far less than Li Jue, Guo Si, Ma, Teng and Han Sui.[]

Moreover, they all received two or three thousand gold from Yuan Shao, but Wen He gave me one-third of the money. I am afraid it will be difficult to bribe them with the rest…

It is difficult for my family to change the situation..

Jia Xu stroked his beard and smiled:”General, there is no need to worry about this. I have my own plan. As long as the general acts according to my words!””

So Duan Xuan immediately expressed his willingness to cooperate fully.

Jia Xu also struck while the iron was hot and asked Duan Xuan to cooperate with him.���In the name of wine, he sent someone to invite Guo Si’s general Wu Xi.

Wu Xi had always been ambitious and wanted to replace Guo Si, but he was not strong enough and never dared to take action.

Under Jia Xu’s inducement, Wu Xi was persuaded by a few words and Wu Xi saw the opportunity.

So that night, Wu Xi suddenly, with the help of Duan Xuan’s troops, led his troops to attack and assassinated Guo Si!

Wu Xi then took control of all 30,000 troops under Guo Si.

Immediately afterwards, Wu Xi and Duan Xuan combined more than 40,000 troops and began to attack Li Jue’s camp.

Li Jue originally had 40,000 troops and horses, more than Guo Si and Duan Xuan.

But now Guo Si was killed, Wu Xi replaced him, and joined forces with Duan Xuan, and his military strength exceeded Li Jue.

In addition, Xu Huang, the Cao army general beside Jia Xu, led 500 Cao army elite troops to help. Li Jue was suddenly attacked again, so his troops were quickly defeated and fled, with numerous casualties.

Li Jue was also among the rebels and was killed by Xu Huang!

Li Jue’s men fled, died, and surrendered. In the end, about 20,000 people were surrendered.

It is temporarily in charge of Xu Huang.

As a result, Xu Huang, Wu Xi and Duan Xuan had more than 60,000 soldiers and horses, which was quite powerful!

In fact, Duan Yan originally had thousands of troops, Guo Si had 30,000 troops, and Li Jue had 40,000 troops. The three families combined had almost 80,000 to 90,000 troops.

But after two internal fights provoked by Jia Xu, each of them suffered casualties and fled, leaving only more than 60,000 people!

Nearly one-third of the staff was reduced overnight, which shows that Jia Xu’s reputation as a poisonous person is not false!

Of course, although there were a lot of losses, the losses were all from the ragtag group that had no fighting ability, and the ones that remained were the barely usable soldiers!

The combat effectiveness of these more than 60,000 soldiers and horses will only be stronger than the original 89,000 soldiers and horses!

After solving Li Jue and Guo Si, the only ones left to deal with are Ma Teng, Han Sui and other forces!

Speaking of which, Ma Teng, Han Sui, Li Jue, Guo Si, Jia Xu and others are all fellows from Liangzhou.

It’s just that when Dong Zhuo led the Xiliang army to the capital, most of the old Xiliang troops stayed in Guanzhong and Guandong and never returned to Liangzhou.

So Ma Teng and Han Sui rose up in Liangzhou and became the overlord of Liangzhou after Dong Zhuo.

Later, it extended its tentacles to Guanzhong.

It can be said that although the princes of Guanzhong are fighting in Guanzhong, they are actually from Xiliang…

The faction that came up from Liangzhou such as Ma Teng and Han Sui, and Dong Zhuo’s old tribe such as Li Jue, Guo Si, Duan Xuan and others are two different groups. So camping is different.

Li Jue, Guo Si, Duan Xuan and others camped ten miles apart, not only to guard against each other, but also to guard against Ma Teng, Han Sui and others.

The same goes for Ma Teng and Han Sui. They each camped ten miles apart, but they were all separated from the camps of Li Jue, Guo Si and others by another thirty to fifty miles. With the camps of the small princes lying across the middle as a buffer, they were divided into two distinct areas. piece.

Therefore, a fire broke out last night where Li Jue and Guo Si’s troops were camping, and the sound of killing was loud. Ma Teng and Han Sui heard it from a distance, but because they had their own agendas and were worried about being plotted by Li Jue and Guo Si, and because they were far away, they did not Send troops to move.

It wasn’t until dawn that we learned that both Li Jue and Guo Si were dead. Jia Xu integrated Li Jue, Guo Si, and Duan Xuan, with a combined force of more than 60,000, and directly launched a banner to oppose Yuan Shao and help the court!

Jia Xu then sent thirty carts covered with felt cloth to the camps of Ma Teng and Han Sui.

Jia Xu also sent several carts over to the rest of the bandits and commanders in Guanzhong.

But Ma Teng immediately invited Han Sui and the princes of Liangzhou in Guanzhong to discuss matters.

He was not as easily satisfied as Duan Xuan. He knew that Cao Ang and his son were a greater threat than Yuan Shao, so he decided to help Yuan Shao, otherwise his independent status as a prince would not be guaranteed.

After Han Sui and other princes arrived, the first thing Ma Teng did was to take out the thirty carts of money given by Jia Xu, saying that this was Jia Xu’s plan and that everyone should not be fooled, and asked everyone if they had been given away. How much.

The other minor princes confessed one after another, but Han Sui said that he only received one money…

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the tent changed.……
