Chapter 653: Jia Xu's Disappointment

"General, retreat ten miles away and make plans!"

When Yang Ding urgently made suggestions to Li Jue, Li Jue, who was angry and embarrassed, shouted rudely: "Fuck me, kill me..."

"Swish!" Just as Li Jue roared regardless of his subordinates' life and death, a cold arrow flew over his neck. Li Jue staggered and fell directly on his horse's back, looking extremely embarrassed.

"Brother, stay with the green mountains and don't worry about losing firewood. Retreat!" Guo Si rode his horse to Li Jue and said helplessly.

When Cao Zhi's army was pressing on the entire line, Li Jue and Guo Si had already begun to retreat. Cao Zhi was determined to promote his troops, Xu Chu and Wang Ping, three generals, caught up with him and killed countless enemies.

During the 20-mile pursuit, Li Jue and Guo Si's Liangzhou army suffered more than 3,000 casualties, and Cao's army captured more than 1,000 people. It was not until dusk that Cao's army stopped chasing and stationed on the spot, preparing to fight again tomorrow, pushing Li Jue and Guo Si to the edge of the Yellow River and then encircled them on the south bank.

That night, Li Jue, who had just bandaged his wound, rebelled in the barracks. His general Song Guo wanted to murder Li Jue and took his head to surrender to Cao's army. However, the matter was not successful, and his whereabouts were revealed. Li Jue's subordinates noticed it. After arresting Song Guo, Li Jue was chopped into meat paste by knife.

Yang Ding, who was in the alliance, actually participated in the murder of Li Jue, but he did not show up and escaped. Afterwards, he always suspected that Li Jue wanted to kill him, so he led his subordinates of two thousand people to join Yang Feng overnight.

Yang Feng has always instigated Yang Ding, Song Guo and others, but they have been swaying and are ready to see the situation before talking. After all, Cao Zhi has a magic weapon to win, and they only know today. Because Li Jue and Guo Si were defeated too quickly today, Cao's army showed strong strength, so it accelerated the rebellion of Yang Ding, Song Guo and others.

Yang Feng was also unacceptable to the battle that happened too quickly, but after accepting Yang Ding's surrender, his mind immediately became active. On Yang Feng's way back to the journey to meet the saint, Yang Feng deliberately created a little chaos, killed Yang Ding, incorporated Yang Ding's troops, and then left Cao Zhi's army and returned to Dayang City early to report to Emperor Xian that Yang Ding wanted to kill Li Jue but failed and sacrificed his life for his country. However, his subordinates were willing to surrender to the emperor, and Yang Feng had all brought them back.

Liu Xie already knew Cao Zhi's victory today, but he did not expect that Yang Feng, who was also a general of chariots and cavalry, made another extraordinary contribution and instigated all the troops from Li Jue and Guo Si. After Liu Xie praised Yang Feng for a long time, he posthumously named Yang as the latter general at the suggestion of Yang Feng.

In this way, Yang Feng also gave an explanation to Yang Ding's subordinates, and let them follow Yang Feng to attack the world, which was very smooth. Yang Feng also took this opportunity to stay in Dayang City in the name of protecting Emperor Xian and not go to the front line. He also actively lobbyed Emperor Xian, so that Cao Zhi would not go too deep when chasing the enemy, so as not to make Dayang City too empty and take advantage of other enemy troops and threaten Emperor Xian. Liu Xie believed what Yang Feng said.

Li Jue and Guo Si were in trouble. Before the shadow of the initial defeat could be out, a rebellion occurred. The troops were repeatedly damaged, and the morale of the army was no longer stable. At this time, many of the thoughts of being unwilling to be a rebel and becoming a bandit, and rumors spread like wildfire that the enemy general Cao Zhi drove Lei Huo.

The injured Li Jue was in a low mood and could no longer get angry. After discussing with Guo Si, he decided to retreat across the Yellow River overnight and go south to Hongnong before making a decision. It was precisely because of this wise decision that Li Jue and Guo Si were able to preserve it. Because after Cao Zhi won the first victory against Li Jue and Guo Si, he was preparing to steal the camp against them at dawn the next day. This time, he was preparing to bind explosives to the arrows as the pioneers to carry out a second round of devastating attacks against the enemy.

However, when Cao Zhi was preparing for the second round of action, he also encountered a little obstacle. When Emperor Xian sent another oral order to celebrate Cao Zhi's victory, he ordered Cao Zhi to return to Dayang City to report to his face.

When Cao Zhi heard this strange oral order, he frowned. He didn't understand why Emperor Xian wanted to go back when he saw the war was tense.

Jia Xu's attitude towards Cao Zhi was greatly improved because he was wrong in estimating Cao Zhi's strength again. Just as Cao Zhi was worried about whether to pay attention to this sage, he suddenly stood up and said, "This is someone who is making trouble behind the lord. He wants to delay the lord's pace against the enemy. The emperor must be afraid of being persuaded. The defense of Dayang City is now a little empty!"

"Oh!" Jia Xu woke up Cao Zhi and others with a word. In order to defeat Li Jue, Cao Zhi did draw all his subordinates' forces from Dayang City. This is normal for Cao Zhi to think. His front line was only sixty or seventy miles away from Dayang City. If anything happened, he would be rescued quickly, and there was no need to worry about the safety of the Shengjia. Besides, Yang Feng had been sent back? He still had some military troops and did not play a role in this front line, so Cao Zhi sent him back early.

But what Jia Xu said about someone who was making trouble behind him was naturally referring to Yang Feng, Dong Cheng and others. Cao Zhi also thought of it after Jia Xu reminded him that he defeated Li Jue and Guo Si alone. Excluding Yang Feng and Dong Cheng was suspected of taking the credit.

Cao Zhi asked Jia Xu what to do now, whether it was considered disobedience to go back, and whether it would delay the fighter plane when he went back.

Jia Xu looked at a group of generals sitting in Cao Zhi's tent, and the adviser said, "The general is outside, and there is a precedent for the king to be unacceptable! But when he went back, he wanted to get along with Yang Feng and others in order to have a good relationship with his colleagues? Or should he let the emperor be instigated by them and delay the lord for some time?"

Many people didn't understand the two questions Jia Xu asked Cao Zhi. These two things were originally one. Cao Zhi didn't want to have a good relationship with Yang Feng, Dong Cheng and others. It has nothing to do with returning to Dayang City. It mainly depends on Cao Zhi's attitude. He didn't want to have friendship with these people and ignore them. How could he go back and show that he compromised with Yang Feng and others.

Jia Xu believed that there was, and it was from an unexpected perspective by Cao Zhi and others. He suggested that Cao Zhi still take two generals back to Dayang City to solve the problem of "some people" forever, so that the emperor would listen to him in the future and no longer have such things like this happening today.

Shocked! Cao Zhi, Xun Chen and others were shocked when they heard Jia Xu's words, not only shocked, but also shocked!

"This old boy is really worthy of being a 'poison soldier'. He gave me the first plan, and it's so cruel. He wants me to be the second Dong Zhuo, Li Jue, and Guo Si!"

Cao Zhi muttered, recovered from his senses, blew his beard (no beard, only stubble) stared at him, patted several cases, and asked how Jia Xu could say this?

Jia Xu was not afraid, his little eyes looked contemptuous, conveying "Don't pretend to me! In the face of power, absolute power, who will not be moved? I, Jia Xu, just said what you desire most in your heart!"

Cao Zhi had never thought about killing the officials who were decentralized with him and becoming a real powerful minister. Jia Xu's words made him feel excited on the way back to Dayang City. Xu Chu looked excited. Cao Zhi was angry with Jia Xu for some reason and said a few words to him, but he still followed his advice and organized his own personal guard camp. More than 3,000 people returned to Dayang City, and even brought Xu Chu with him like a devil.

Cao Zhi's attitude even Xu Chu, who was not very smart, wanted to think that Cao Zhizhen would take action. He had absolutely no objection to kill all Yang Feng, and Dong Cheng, and Xu Huang was his. He was Cao Zhi's absolute direct line. Cao Zhi wanted him to kill the emperor. This heartless person dared, let alone kill a few bird officials who didn't like him.

Xu Chu's excitement did not give Cao Zhi any inspiration, or was in a good mood. He rode his horse with his head down for a long time. Cao Zhi suddenly stopped the horse and stopped there!

"Brother, what's wrong?"

After the generals of the personal guard camp behind Cao Zhi looked at each other, Xu Chu ran to Cao Zhi's side by horse and asked carefully.

Cao Zhi came out of the mood for a while, and when he raised his head again, he breathed a sigh of relief, and seemed to be talking to Xu Chu, thinking that he was muttering to himself: "Let your brother do these things!"

Xu Chu didn't understand what Cao Zhi meant for a moment, and Cao Zhi had already said to him: "Let's go back, let's deal with Li Jue and Guo Si first!"

"Hmm? Ah? Oh!"

Xu Chu has no political awareness, and it is even more impossible for him to help Cao Zhi provide advice on major issues. As long as he fights, he will go wherever Cao Zhi points!

Cao Zhi's return disappointed Jia Xu, but Xun Chen was relieved. Although he was knowledgeable and knowledgeable, he seemed not ready to assist Cao Zhi as a powerful minister!

Cao Zhi's concession was characterized in Jia Xu's mind as: he is talented but not cruel enough, and it is difficult to become a talent for emperors and generals!

Jia Xu expressed disappointment with Cao Zhi's undecisive behavior, and even ignored Cao Zhi and went back to his tent to rest. But he still gained from Cao Zhi's performance today. Cao Zhi did not dare to solve Yang Feng and others in one breath, which shows that he was compromised. But this issue can be viewed dialectically. Cao Zhi had a kind heart and wanted to help Emperor Xian build a healthy political order and bring new atmosphere to the remaining court, rather than learning from Dong Zhuo, Li Jue, Guo Si and others, and only wanted to control the emperor, dominate the court, and have power.

As a subordinate, Jia Xu can see that the subordinate he serves is not a bloodthirsty butcher, which should be quite gratifying. However, it is difficult to achieve a lifetime of hegemony, and he is inevitably a little disappointed. Fortunately, Jia Xu has not yet pursued power and has become obsessed with him. At present, he is only looking for a stable life. Perhaps Cao Zhi is still a good choice here.

But in the court where the strong prey on the weak and the modern chaotic social context, this attitude is not necessarily the best way to settle down. Jia Xu even foreshadowed that sooner or later, Cao Zhi would not take his life, and others would take his life.

But Jia Xu is currently quite strong and can control the current situation. Jia Xu has plenty of time to influence Cao Zhi. If Cao Zhi is a waste material who is "rotten wood cannot be carved", then he has no choice but to find another wise master to settle down.

Cao Zhi ignored Jia Xu's happiness or unhappy about this matter. At this time, he put aside some things he shouldn't have thought about and actively participated in the preparations to organize troops to attack Li Jue and Guo Si's camp at dawn tomorrow.
