The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Although the defenders of Xiagui blocked the tentative attack of Zhang He and others, because there were not many troops and horses, they could see Cao Cao and Wang Yi's troops from a distance from the top of the city, and the banners were very high. , so I couldn't help being surprised, so I hurried to Li Jue for help.

——But here, might as well say one more thing, where did Cao Cao have more than 20,000 troops? Even with the hundreds of people given to him by the Linjin County guard, the total was only 12,000 or 3,000 people. , and erected more flags inside and outside of their camps, with great momentum and without much need to say much.

It is only said that Li Jue was feeling flustered when the reinforcements of the defending general of Xiagui reported to Li Jue's camp.

Li Jue's panic was naturally not because of Cao Cao, but because of Zhang Ji and Duan Xun's help.

For several days, Zhang Ji and Duan Yu received a military report asking for help almost every day, and they urgently asked Li Jue for reinforcements.

In the military report, Zhang Ji and Duan Xun said to Li Jue: "The Hongnong counties have been lost, and now the only one that can be defended is Huayin. Huayin seems to be lost again, and the gate of Guanzhong has been opened. At that time, Xun It is easy for thieves and horses to enter the pass. I hope that the big Sima and Guo Gong will not lose the big picture because of small gaps, and they should be reconciled early, but they will regret it later. Hope the reinforcements can come soon! "

The military newspapers of Zhang Ji and Duan Xun were not only given to Li Jue, but also to Guo Si. The words in the military newspaper for Guo Si were similar to those in Li Jue’s military newspaper. It is suggested that Li Jue and Guo Si make peace immediately.

A Xun thief was already troublesome. After reading the military report of the general of Xia Gu, and now that there was another Cao Cao, Li Jue became more and more upset.

He summoned his brother Li Ying, his sons Li Xian, Li Li, his nephew Hu Feng, and Li Ru and other advisors to discuss the matter together. After discussing for a long time, everyone has no countermeasures.

Li Jue had no choice but to ask Jia Xu to ask Jia Xu for advice.

These days, especially after Xun Zhen's troops invaded Hongnong County, Jia Xu and Zhong Yao's private exchanges have gradually become closer, and Li Jue has heard about this, even though Jia Xu and Zhong Yao met very closely. Be careful, but after all, this is in Li Jue's camp, how can Li Jue be completely concealed? To be honest, Li Jue had already become suspicious of Jia Xu, and that's why he didn't ask Jia Xu for leave immediately this time. It is possible to use it, and we can only ask Jia Xu for advice again.

Jia Xu came into the room, Li Jue got up to greet him, invited Jia Xu to take a seat, ordered the servants to bring soup and water, and also asked the servants to bring candied fruit, cakes and other things, which were full of dazzling arrays, filled with the entire table, and then returned to the main office by himself. Sit down.

Jia Xu picked up the soup, took a sip, and asked, "I don't know why Gong Zhaoxu is here?"

Li Jue said, "Sir, look at these two military newspapers first."

The attendants in the hall forwarded the two military reports that Li Jue handed out to Jia Xu for viewing.

Jia Xu took it, put the bottom one on the case, opened the top one, and looked at it. It was the latest military newspaper sent by Zhang Ji. After reading it, look at the bottom one, it was Xia Gui The garrison sent a request for reinforcements.

Jia Xu carefully read the two military newspapers and returned them to Li Jue's attendant.

The waiter still held it and returned it to Li Jue. Li Jue didn't answer, and the waiter respectfully put it on the table in front of Li Jue's table.

During the whole process, Jia Xu was silent.

Li Jue couldn't wait any longer, so he took the initiative to speak and said to Jia Xu, "Sir, you have read the two military newspapers, why didn't you say a word?"

Jia Xu asked, "What does the unknown master want me to say?"

Li Jue frowned and said: "The Xun thieves have captured most of Hongnong County, and now only Hua Yin is still in the hands of Zhang Ji and Duan Xun, and the Xun thieves may attack the pass at any time; on the north bank of the Wei River, on the side of Xiagui, Cao Mengde's troops The horse has been killed again. Sir, it can be said that I am facing the enemy from both sides! How should I deal with it? Teach me!"

"As of now, I don't know if Gong Gong has any regrets?"

Li Jue said stunned, "Remorse, what remorse?"

Jia Xu said: "General Zhang and Duan said in the book: 'It's too late to regret it', so Xu dared to ask the Duke, do you have regrets now?"

"Regret what!"

Jia Xu said, "If it wasn't for the Duke to kill Fan Chou in the middle of the seat that day, and if there was an internal strife between the Duke and General Guo, how could it be today?"

Li Jue was unhappy when he heard the words, but because he still needed Jia Xu to advise him, he reluctantly held back his anger and said, "Fan Chou and Han Sui are colluding to plot against me, if I don't kill him, I will do harm to him! What's wrong? Guo Duo slandered me, saying that I poisoned him, so he attacked me first, and I fought him. Is it my fault? Sir, I don't think I did anything wrong in these two things!"

Unexpectedly, until now, Li Jue still has no regrets and insists that he has done nothing wrong.

Jia Xu sighed secretly, knowing that Li Jue was hopeless, so he stopped talking nonsense, changed the subject, and said, "You don't ask me for advice, but the best way to deal with it is now. "Isn't the second General Zhang and Duan already dedicated to the Duke?"

Li Jue said: "Zhang Ji has already given to me? Sir, do you mean to make peace with Guo Duoyan?"

Jia Xu said: "As the Duke said, Duke Yu Xia was attacked on both sides, and the Duke and General Guo fought for more than a month. Now both Duke and General Guo have lost a lot of troops and horses. Those who have already become eccentric, this is the time of life and death! At this time, the only way to solve the crisis is to quickly make peace with General Guo, and then Gong and General Guo will join forces to block Zhendong and Cao Mengde. There is vitality. You must not hesitate any longer!"

Li Jue was unwilling and said, "Make peace with Guo Duo!"

Jia Xu said: "The general did not think I was stupid, so he recruited me and condescended to ask for a plan. This is what my plan is. Apart from this, there is no good plan to offer."

Li Jue actually knew in his heart that this was the case, and there was indeed no other good plan to use. , I will make peace with Guo Duoyan. Just sir, if I am willing to make peace with Guo Duoyan, will he make peace with me?"

Jia Xu said: "Now the Duke and General Guo are both at a loss. If they are divided, they will lose both. If they are combined, they can live. As long as the Duke is willing to make peace with General Guo, General Guo will certainly be willing to make peace with him."

Li Jue asked Jia Xu, and said, "Sir, would you like to have a hard time, be a lobbyist for me, and go ask Guo Duo what's your intention?"

Jia Xu said: "The general has given the order, how dare Xu refuse!" He asked Li Jue and said, "But I don't know what I should say to General Guo after I arrive at General Guo's camp to show the general's sincerity?"

Li Jue said, "Show my sincerity?" Asked Jia Xu, he said, "How do you feel, sir? What should I do to show my sincerity?"

Jia Xu said: "It is an ancient custom to form alliances with protons. In my humble opinion, it is better to propose to General Guo that the Duke and General Guo take their beloved sons as pledges to each other, so that they can not only make peace, but also obtain each other. trust."

"Proton?"

Jia Xu said, "If we can't gain trust with each other, Duke Ming, even if we make peace, it's just a piece of paper, and it's useless."

This is quite right, Li Jue thought for a moment, and said, "Okay! Just listen to the sir!"

Without delaying, Jia Xu left the Li Jue Tang and went to the Guo Si camp.

In Guo Si's camp, when he saw Guo Si, Jia Xu told Guo Si about Li Jueyuan's intention of reconciling with Guo Si, and told Guo Si the proposal of protons on both sides to increase trust.

When Zhang Bao was in charge, but still failed to conquer Li Jue's camp, Guo Si had already made peace with Li Jue, but Li Jue did not agree. Now that Xun Zhen and Cao Cao were approaching, Cao Cao would also That’s all, Xun Zhen is a strong enemy. For the sake of self-preservation, Guo Si will not object to making peace with Li Jue; even if they exchange love for their sons to increase trust, this is what should be done and must be done. Yes, Guo Si pretended not to do it, and after putting on the air, he agreed to Yanhe and Proton.

After successfully completing the task, Jia Xu came back to see Li Jue, and reported: "General Guo is willing to make peace with Gong Yan, and agreed to exchange his beloved son. No objection, the ceremony of proton and oath can be performed tomorrow."

Li Jue put down a big stone in his heart. Although the strong enemy was pressing the situation, he was a little relieved at this time. He said a few hardships to Jia Xu, and said, "Then it will be tomorrow.

For the next thing, don't bother Jia Xu.

Li Jue dispatched Li Ru to go back to the Guo Si camp to discuss with Guo Si the details of the alliance tomorrow. Two or three trips back and forth, everything is settled. It was agreed that tomorrow afternoon, between the two camps of Li Jue and Guo Si, a place in the east of the city would be chosen to hold the ceremony of proton and covenant. Guo Si asked Jia Xu to participate and be a witness. Jia Xu agreed.

The night passed.

Early the next morning, Jia Xu packed up and waited for Li Jue to send someone to pick him up.

Unexpectedly, they waited left and right, waited for noon, waited for afternoon, and only waited until evening, and still no one from Li Jue came.

Jia Xu asked suspiciously, "Could it be that something changed?" So Jia Mu was asked to inquire about the situation.

After waiting for more than half an hour, Jia Mu turned back and reported to Li Jue: "Father, today's oath between Da Sima and General Guo may not work."

Jia Xu asked, "Why can't it work?"

"Didn't Da Sima and General Guo follow Father's suggestion and agree to offer their sons to each other?"

Jia Xu said, "Yes."

"But Da Sima's wife loves her son and doesn't want to confront him."

Jia Xu was stunned for a moment and said, "You said that Da Sima's wife loves her son and doesn't want to confront him?"

"exactly."

Jia Xu asked, "What is the opinion of the Great Sima?"

"Da Sima can't be stubborn about his wife. Therefore, today's alliance between Da Sima and General Guo can only be done."

Jia Xu simply didn't know how to evaluate it.

He raised his head, put his hand on his forehead, sighed for a while, opened his eyes, and said to Jia Mu, "Da Sima and General Guo have both married a good wife."

Jia Mu said, "Father, what should we do now?"

Jia Xu said: "I gave Da Sima this proton and alliance strategy, because I was forced to do so. Since Da Sima called me to ask for advice, if I didn't offer a strategy that satisfied him, maybe he would take anger at me. That's why I gave him this plan. Anyway, I have made a plan, and now it's him who doesn't listen, so it has nothing to do with me."

"Father means that Father will not care about this matter?"

"I can't control it." Jia Xu raised his face again and thought for a while, then suddenly laughed and said, "It's because of his wife and beloved son!"

This smile seems to be funny, but also like a sneer.

Jia Xu shook his head, stood up, left the hall with his sleeves, and went back to the bedroom.

Two days later, news came that the covenant between Li Jue and Guo Si was actually established.

When Jia Xu first heard it, he thought that Li Jue did not listen to his wife's wishes and succeeded with Guo Si's proton. It turned out that the reason why the covenant was finally achieved~www.wuxiaspot.com~ was not the success of Li Jue and Guo Si's protons, but Li Jue listened to Li Ru's improvement method and changed his thinking. As a hostage girl, Guo Si did not object, and the covenant was fulfilled.

When the news spread, everyone who heard it shook their heads.

Since ancient times, only protons have been heard, how can there be women who have heard of protons? It is conceivable that although the covenant between Li Jue and Guo Si was established, the alliance between the two of them is basically a blank piece of paper, and there must be no trust at all between the two of them.

But no matter what, the covenant was finally reached, and Li Jue and Guo Si stopped fighting for the time being. Although the two of them were still suspicious of each other because of the unreliable covenant, they would never see each other except the day of the covenant. Li Jue was unwilling to enter the Guo Si camp, and Guo Si also did not want to go to Li Jue camp. After discussing the exchange, the two finally made a decision to send troops to assist Xia Ji, Zhang Ji, and Duan Xun. A few days later, the reinforcements from the two groups left their camps, heading towards Xiagui in the north and Huayin in the east.

But not long after the two troops left the camp, one of them quietly came to Jia Xu's room and came to see Jia Xu.

Seeing Jia Xu's first face, the man questioned Jia Xu and said, "I heard that Li Jue and Guo Si made an alliance and made an alliance. It was a public offering to Li Jue? Li Jue and Guo Si are about to be defeated. I don't know why Gonggong gave him advice!"
