Three Kingdoms: The Reverse Son of the Guan Family, Dragon Blessing Jingxiang
Chapter 725 The wind blows, and the wise follow the wind
Early in the morning, Yangpingguan suddenly became turbulent.
The reason is that the Wei army's decades-old custom of preparing meals at Mao hour and serving meals in the morning was suddenly broken in the early morning of this day, and the destruction was silent!
It's not that the logistics staff want to sabotage it, but...it's hard for a clever woman to make a plan without rice.
Just this morning... when the three full granaries piled up in Yangping Pass were opened, all the fire-headed soldiers suddenly discovered where was there a grain of grain in these granaries?
All the piles were made of loess and stones.
In other words, including the Qiang people and the legions supported by various ministries, the entire 300,000 Wei army...from this moment on, it is inevitable to run out of food——
One stone stirred up a thousand ripples, but within half a quarter of an hour, the news spread throughout the entire military camp.
Discussions arose one after another.
"Isn't there still food in three granaries? Isn't it said that... even without the support of the barbarians, the food is still enough for half a month? Why... why did the food suddenly run out?"
"Haven't the barbarian reinforcements arrived? Yesterday, weren't they practicing how to attack from both inside and outside...to jointly defeat the Shu army? What is going on today? What is going on?"
"Where is the king? Where is the king? Has anyone asked the king? Where is our king? He can't cook without rice, he... he must say something to us, right?"
Not only the Wei army, but also the Qiang leaders and the remaining generals looked confused at this moment.
this…
What is this and what?
On the contrary, it was Jia Xu and Jia Kui. In such a chaotic situation, the two seemed to be the calmest ones...
The eyes look at the nose, the nose looks at the heart... Occasionally their eyes met, one left a deep sigh of "Alas", while the other spoke quietly and lightly.
"Mr. Jia, please don't forget the mountain pass where we meet the king!"
This is what Jia Kui asked.
The mountain pass he mentioned was the road that Cao Cao and the two of them were riding in that day, and then... mentioned that it avoided all the main roads... and was a small road dug through the rocks that no one knew about!
According to the agreement, today, Cao Cao personally supervised his personal guards... and transported all the food and grass left by the Wei army there at night. Then Jia Xu and Jia Kui arrived at "Si Shi"... and they fled the Hanzhong battlefield together.
This...is the entire escape plan!
Hearing Jia Kui mention it again, Jia Xu pondered for a moment after hearing the words, then nodded and chanted lightly.
"good…"
Listening to Jia Xu's voice, Jia Kui seemed to notice something different, "Mr. Jia...are you worried about anything?"
"No..." Jia Xu immediately replied to Jia Kui in the calmest words.
Jia Kui felt... Jia Xu was acting strange today, but he couldn't explain why, "Then... Mr. Jia, please prepare yourself. It's time for you and I to leave... Taking advantage of this chaos, no one noticed..."
"Not busy, not busy..." Unlike Jia Kui who was a little hurried, Jia Xu looked very calm and composed, just like how he was calm and collected every time he made plans in the past, scheming others and himself——
"Is it possible that Mr. Jia has any other ideas?" Jia Kui suddenly became cautious.
But just as this groan came out.
Sudden…
"Dong dong dong——"
"Kill--"
In an instant, drums outside the city were beating like thunder, shouts of killing, horn blasts, ordnance moving... made shocking sounds... all at the same time, intertwined.
This time, the entire Yangping Pass became even more chaotic.
Everywhere…
"The Shu army attacked the city..."
"Quick, get up to the tower!"
"You've been hungry all night and your stomach is not full? What are you still guarding?"
"Where is the king? Where is the king?"
"It seems that someone saw him heading towards Ziwu Valley!"
"No, let's talk about it. He went to Baoxie Road..."
"He's already run away? What are we supposed to be guarding? If we're guarding... what are we going to eat?"
There are more and more sounds, and more and more noisy...
The sound of the attacking horn also reached the ears of Jia Kui and Jia Xu. Jia Kui was immediately stunned subconsciously, and he groaned heavily.
"What? The siege started so soon?"
For a moment, his whole cheek felt like he was mourning for his concubine.
On the other hand, Jia Xu was completely opposite to Jia Kui's sad face, "Haha...", he seemed to be expecting something, and with a wanton laugh, he turned around directly, no longer paying attention to Jia Kui, and went to Go to the gate of Chengguan.
"Mr. Jia...you..."
Jia Kui shouted quickly.
"Shh..." Jia Xu only raised his index finger. The implication was that he didn't want to hear the voice of "Zhongwei" appear in this chaotic city gate again.
"Liang Dao (Jia Kui)..." Jia Xu narrowed his eyes and stopped slightly in his forward steps. He turned his back to Jia Kui and said lightly, "Look, you and I both have the surname Jia. A hundred years ago we were As a matter of family bond, I would like to give you my final advice..."
"What?" Jia Kui's whole body was filled with horror. From Jia Xu's actions and tone, he seemed to have heard something.
"The wind is blowing..." Jia Xu smiled, and then continued quietly, "Smart people must learn to follow the wind -"
At this point, Jia Xu's son Jia Mu has already led people to come to him.
"Dad...everything is ready..."
"Walk--"
Jia Xu didn't turn his head...without paying any more attention to Jia Kui, he had already disappeared into the chaotic city gate.
And his words...
The phrase "The wind has risen, smart people must learn to follow the wind" lingered in Jia Kui's ears for a long time, as if these words suddenly made the atmosphere and environment here become desolate, as if the glorious Wei Dynasty... it The collapse is right before our eyes——
…
…
"Hurry up to the tower——"
"Hold it! Hold it!"
"We have withstood it. Where is the king? Where is the king? Can the king give us a bite to eat?"
The bloody setting sun fills the sky, and it should also dye this bloody battlefield red...
But now on the battlefield, this is not the case at all.
The Wei troops were all listless. Facing the barbarian soldiers who were the vanguard, riding elephants and constantly hitting the city gate, they were all a little panicked and frightened!
On the city tower, Zhang Ji's son Zhang Ji was still shouting with his sword raised, "The thieves have arrived, kill me...kill me..."
But it wasn't until the enemy troops attacked the city that the Wei army panicked and picked up their weapons. Seeing the appearance of the army, Zhang Ji could only say angrily: "Hurry up and throw the logs, throw the boulders, shoot for me... kill the enemy for me, kill the enemy - —”
But the soldiers of the Wei army had parched lips and hungry stomachs. Listening to the growling sound in their stomachs, they feebly dropped the rolling logs and shot arrowheads... However, they were sparse and could not stop the Han army from climbing up the ladder.
Zhang Ji waved his sword, wanting to take the lead and boost the morale of the soldiers, but he just shouted "Come up"...
Behind him, a cold sword suddenly penetrated his back and penetrated from his chest in front.
"ah--"
Zhang Ji turned his head with a face full of surprise, and saw clearly that the person who had done the dirty trick was none other than... none other than... the son of Jia Xu, the military advisor of the Wei Dynasty, Jia Mu, the captain of the city guard on the tower here!
And behind him, his father Jia Xu was standing there.
Obviously, this sword... was instructed by his father.
"You...Jia Wenhe, you..."
Zhang Ji is determined to die with his eyes closed...
Jia Xu ignored him at all, and had no time to explain so much to a dead man. He let his son pull out the sword that penetrated him, and then added another sword to ensure that the sword was completely dead!
Then, while all the Wei soldiers gathered around, they were panicking.
Jia Xu shouted loudly: "Cao Cao has run away? Who are you all working for?"
At this point, Jia Xu's voice suddenly rose: "After being sold, do you still have to count the money for each one? After being sold, you still have to die here for others? Is it worth it?"
The already chaotic city... did not become more chaotic because of Jia Xu's words.
No Wei soldiers ever pointed their swords at Jia Xu——
On the contrary, because of his words, the whole place suddenly became quiet. There were more soldiers surrounding him, but they were all gritting their teeth and gnashing their teeth, with extremely complicated expressions... It was as if Jia Xu's words suddenly struck their hearts. The surging hatred was all directed at Cao Cao.
Even the soldiers of the Shu army who had already boarded the city were stunned.
What's going on?
No more fighting?
Why did Wei Jun gather around each other, some were itching their teeth with hatred, and some were quite moved! So...the question is? What should they do? Do you still want to fight?
Just when the first warriors of the Shu army were confused.
Jia Xu's hoarse but deliberately raised tone came out again, "Why don't you put down your weapons? Open the city gate? Don't you all want to go back alive? Ah..."
Jia Xu is known as the "big liar" and the "old poisoner". He once planned to bring chaos to the world...
Regardless of his identity, status... or the appeal of his words, his words... were undoubtedly enough to move these Wei soldiers.
Seeing that everyone is still hesitating.
"Open the city gate!" Jia Xu's voice chanted again, "Isn't what I said clear enough? Open your eyes and see, who has the final say in the world now? Wei is about to die, are you also going to die? Do you want to imitate Cao Cao who betrayed Heaven’s will and acted against Heaven?”
really…
Jia Xu's words had an effect.
His words also moved all the soldiers——
"Open the city gate..."
Among the soldiers, when the first person shouted these three words, in an instant, the second, third, and countless others shouted these three words that were most suitable for the current situation.
Then, with a "crunch", the huge gate of Yangping Pass, which was originally crumbling due to the collision of wild elephants, suddenly opened like a silent beast...
I wonder what the reason for the charging Shu soldiers was?
but…
This was undoubtedly a good opportunity to attack, and they all clenched their weapons and rushed into the city gate.
Never thought about it, but now.
Led by Jia Xu, countless soldiers of the Wei army filed out of the city gate. They did not carry weapons and even took off their armor. Under the leadership of Jia Xu, they all shouted.
"Welcome the Han army, fight against Wei, welcome the emperor's uncle, and punish Wudao——"
"Welcome the Han army, fight against Wei, welcome the emperor's uncle, and punish Wudao——"
For a moment, such a sound resounded.
This also marked the end of Fazheng's original plan to take advantage of the fact that the Wei army was running out of food and the city was in chaos, so that the barbarians and the Han army could attack the city together.
Yes, where is the need to siege the city?
Didn't these Wei troops come out openly?
Is the gate of Yangpingguan that the Shu army has been thinking about opened?
…
Not long after.
The Shu army completely controlled Yangping Pass.
Liu Bei and Fa Zheng, led by Zhao Yun, also entered the city gate and came to Jia Xu.
At this moment, Jia Xu was in a house on the top of the city, squinting his eyes, sitting cross-legged on a cushion... His son Jia Mu was guarding him...
There were many Shu army soldiers on the periphery.
As the footsteps of Liu Bei and Fa Zheng resounded here...
Jia Xu opened his eyes.
"Are you Jia Xu?" Fa Zheng asked for Liu Bei...
Jia Xu raised his eyes, glanced at Fa Zheng, and then his eyes fell on Liu Bei, "This is probably Uncle Liu, right?"
"That's right..." Liu Bei squinted his eyes, while Jia Xu was looking at him, he was also looking at the old man in his seventies.
Speaking of which, in the decades of chaos in the world, the old man's methods can be said to be extremely sharp, and the old man's reputation is even more well-known...
Even now, as a surrenderer...
Even now, surrounded by his own soldiers, standing guard.
But facing him, Liu Bei still dared not be careless or slack.
"This..." Jia Xu slowly raised his hand, holding a map in his hand.
His son Jia Mu quickly took it and handed it to Liu Bei respectfully.
Zhao Yun was a little worried, and took the map before Liu Bei, fearing that the truth would be revealed...
Liu Bei gently pushed Zhao Yun away, took the map himself, and then slowly unfolded it, only to see a brand new route depicted on it.
This is a route to the north that has never been seen in the previous Hanzhong maps. It seems to pass through a thick mountain range... and escape from the mountain range!
——『Could it be』
Liu Bei couldn't help but think:
——『Could it be that Cao Cao...had arranged this retreat for himself from the beginning? 』
——『He would rather let me betray the world, which is consistent with his usual style of doing things! 』
Before Liu Bei could think deeply, at this moment...
"Lord——"
"Brother——"
Zhang Fei and Huang Zhong arrived at the same time. Zhang Fei was impatient and didn't care that Liu Bei was looking at the map and thinking. He spoke directly, "I have searched the entire Yangping Pass, and there is no trace of Cao thief... In addition to Cao thief, the chief priest, saint, and ghost of the Five Pecks of Rice Sect...are also missing and nowhere to be found!"
After Zhang Fei finished speaking, Huang Zhong continued, "I have asked many Wei Some of the surrendered generals and soldiers of the army said they took the Baoxiade Road, some said they took the Ziwu Valley, and some even said they had bypassed Yangping Pass and took the Qishan Road and Chencang Road! There were also many who claimed to have seen it with their own eyes... Each of them spoke in a very concise manner, but in a short while, they said four roads... It was impossible to judge where the Cao thief took for a while? "
Huang Zhong led the topic to Cao Cao's escape route, and Liu Bei looked at the map that Jia Xu gave him in his hand, and he seemed to understand something immediately.
He didn't bother to respond to Zhang Fei and Huang Zhong, but asked Jia Xu solemnly, "Mr. Jia? The escape route in the map you gave me is that of Cao Cao?"
"Yes!" Jia Xu responded in the simplest words.
Fa Zheng wanted to ask how he knew it, but he didn't wait for the voice to come out.
"Prepare the horse——"
Suddenly, Liu Bei became extremely excited and strode out the door, eager to get on the horse. No one was more eager to catch Cao Cao than him.
Fa Zheng hurriedly caught up and reminded: "Is there a trick?"
Liu Bei took a look at Jia Xu who was calm in the room, and then sighed: "If there is a trick, then Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe would not be here——"
While speaking, the horse had been led over, and Liu Bei had already climbed on the horse.
Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and Zhang Fei also climbed on the horse.
"De De De --
"Gee --"
Amid the neighing of horses and Liu Bei's eager galloping, a cavalry team had already sped away.
Fa Zheng looked at Liu Bei's departing back from afar and sighed, "Alas". It was not that he thought Liu Bei would be in danger, but... it was a bit... hasty to trust Jia Xu so easily!
Fa Zheng turned around and walked back to Jia Xu step by step. He did not show his joy on his face. Facing Jia Xu, he even bowed solemnly, "Mr. Jia, I have heard of you for a long time..."
"But there is one thing I can't figure out. Mr. Jia is a loyal minister of the Wei Dynasty. Why did he choose to betray Cao Cao this time? "
Following Fa Zheng's words.
Jia Xu's tightly closed pupils slowly opened, he met Fa Zheng's gaze directly, and then he sighed very solemnly, seriously, and meticulously: "I, Jia Xu, have always been a Han minister..."
Ah...
It seems that this sentence shocked Fa Zheng.
However...this is just the beginning, Fa Zheng is still a little naive in front of Jia Xu.
Because, Jia Xu's next sentence will make him even more surprised...and even more shocked.
"In fact, since the beginning of the Hanzhong battlefield, I have always been helping you! This young friend...didn't you notice it?"
"Haha, if it weren't for me, Chengdu would have been really lost, right? So, in the current situation, is it that Liu Huangshu is chasing Cao Mengde, or Cao Mengde is chasing Liu Huangshu? Maybe..."
Fa Zheng is a smart man, and as smart as he is, he can extract something from Jia Xu's words.
Sure enough, the old ones are still the best-
Oh my God! While others are planning, he is planning for himself...
In the decisive battle between Han and Wei, regardless of the outcome, this old poisonous Jia is already invincible!
High--
This layout... is really high!
Thinking of this, Fa Zheng bowed again, "Junior has learned--"
Jia Xu still replied calmly: "Serving in the same dynasty, as a Han minister, I dare not, dare not--"
As if, in just a moment... he had already accepted this new identity calmly.
…
…
"What... what did you say?"
"You said this cave is a dead end? A dead end? There is no Cao thief here? Are you serious?——"
When the scouts finally reported back the news that this mountain road was a "dead end" and a "dead end"...
Not only Liu Bei, but also Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, and Huang Zhong, their pupils were all wide open.
Originally, when they saw this secret cave, they already felt incredible...
Who could have thought of this?
Cao Cao would carve out a new road to Guanzhong from Qishan Road, Chencang Road, Baoxia Road, Tangxia Road, and Ziwu Valley... This is no longer going in the opposite direction, this is simply too idle, he expected that there would be such a day now.
Of course, from everyone's perspective, if Cao Cao really expected such a day, they would admire him!
Awesome...
There is something!
But... just when they were puzzled for half an incense stick of time, when the news came back that this was a dead end road...
Oh my God!
Everyone was stunned!
This means that Cao Cao did not escape from here, and because of this, the Shu army spent too much time here, but neglected the pursuit of other roads!
This is the real "something"...
"It turns out that Jia Xu has such a bad intention..." Zhang Fei was furious, "I will go back and pierce him with the Zhangba Snake Spear!"
"Ten thousand arrows piercing the heart is also good..." Huang Zhong was also itching with hatred.
Zhao Yun looked at Liu Bei with a serious expression.
"My lord, what should we do?"
"Huh..." With a heavy sigh, Liu Bei tried to analyze: "Just now General Huang said that someone from the Wei army saw Cao Cao fleeing in which direction?"
"It was Qishan Road, Chencang Road, Tangxia Road, Ziwu Valley... equivalent to the road leading to Guanzhong, only Baoxia Road, no one saw it!"
As Huang Zhong said, Liu Bei sighed again. He squinted his eyes and pondered for a moment, muttering, "Is there only no Baoxia Road?"
Just as he said this, "Pass my military order..." Liu Bei ordered decisively: "Send cavalry to Baoxia Road to chase..."
"Ah..." Huang Zhong was stunned.
Liu Bei explained: "False and true, true and false, Cao Cao is the most cunning... No one saw him heading for Baoxia Road, so most likely his escape route is here..."
At this point, Liu Bei continued to order: "In addition, send a pigeon to Chang'an City and let my second brother guard Baoxia Road... This Cao thief must be captured-"
When he said the word "capture", Liu Bei deliberately emphasized the tone.
Zhao Yun asked at the right time: "Then... How will the lord deal with Jia Xu?"
Liu Bei's eyes became more and more serious, and he said fiercely:
"Tie him up-"
