The night wind was getting colder. Wang Yu stood alone at the top of Gaotang City, staring at the turbulent river with a thoughtful expression.
The personal guards were all driven away by him, and they could only guard on both sides of the city. However, they did not look worried. After all, this was a heavily guarded city, and assassins and the like were unlikely to appear.
.
Looking at the majestic figure of their commander standing with his hands behind his back from a distance, the guards actually had no worries at all. Even if a blind assassin really appeared, how could they do anything to defeat the invincible lord?
"Hey, my lord, why are you still here? It's freezing cold here... It's true that you, the personal guards, don't know how to give advice?" A round face poked out from the city ladder and saw the scene at the top of the city.
, he immediately frowned and complained to the guards.
The guards all had the urge to roll their eyes, and murmured in their hearts: What does admonishing the lord have to do with us little soldiers? It is obviously the responsibility of Mr. Wenhe as a military advisor, right? If you can't even persuade us, what are we going to do?
What can we do? The master can't just say that he wants to think quietly for a while, and everyone can step forward and drag him down, right?
"You guys, don't think that if you don't speak, I don't know what you are thinking. Don't you just think that this matter is not your business? I am the thief shouting to catch the thief? You know, I am a military advisor, and I can only reluctantly take care of important matters in the army.
Forget it, I have to trouble myself with these trivial matters, do you want me to overwork myself and die young?"
As if he had the ability to read minds, Jia Xu put aside the little murmurs in the hearts of the guards, and teased everyone. At this time, the guards could no longer keep their expressions.
"Look at what you said, how can we have such thoughts? I hope that Mr. Wenhe will live a long life and assist the master in making the country and the country flourish. Who dares to curse you?"
"That's right. That's right, Mr. Wen He. The one my lord respects most is you. The one we respect the most is lord, and the second one is you. How can we be disrespectful to you?"
"My lord has been standing at the top of the city for almost an hour. Mr. Wenhe, do you think..."
"Okay, stop it, you little guys, you haven't learned a bit of my lord's wisdom and martial arts. But you have learned a lot about his glib tongue."
Jia Xu waved his hand and motioned for everyone to give way. While complaining endlessly, he moved his fat body towards Wang Yu: "Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. It's such a cold day. What do you think I'm here for? Get out of the way.
Come on, let me go and persuade you."
The guards all respectfully gave way, looking at Jia Xu's back, but there was an unexplainable feeling.
Wang Yu selects personal guards. He usually selects young soldiers who are brave in combat or have potential, which roughly means training them as an officer reserve. The loyalty of these people is unquestionable, and some relatively secret military information is not hidden.
them.
The situation in Qingzhou has been very good recently. Why can't I see that there is anything worthy of my lord's troubles? If there must be something, it can only be due to changes in Puyang.
The Lord loves talents so much that he is admired by everyone in the army. The little-known Guo Jia does seem to be capable. Otherwise, Cao Cao would not have behaved like that.
Puyang reported that Cao Cao walked through the streets and alleys wearing wooden clogs, walked all the way to Guo Jia's house, and then knocked on the door according to the rules. He waited until there was movement inside before entering the house. It was the same as the legendary Zhou Gong's one mu and three hair catches.
, eating and vomiting food three times is not far from each other. If he was incompetent, would Cao Cao have mobilized his troops and mobilized people like this? Aren't you afraid of becoming the laughing stock of the world?
However, the courage of that talented scholar Guo is really scary, and he actually made such a condition. No wonder the lord is frowning. Now everything seems to have settled, but in case the lord doesn't give up, he plans to go with Wen He
Sir, what can we do if we discuss it?
To be honest, even though Mr. Wen He has a vicious reputation and is called a "poisonous man" by the world, in Qingzhou, everyone in the army dislikes him.
He has no airs and is always smiling. Although he is in a position where one person is inferior to ten thousand people, there is no trace of decisiveness at all. He is more like the kind elders next door. Even though he is in military affairs
, I always have to be lazy in government affairs, but if anyone has troubles, please consult him and you will definitely get a satisfactory answer.
Who can not like such a person?
If Leng Ding were to be a different person, not to mention someone who was not well-behaved, it would not be easy to accept even from an emotional point of view. It is a pity that such a military and national event is of great importance, and the master's level of consideration is not within the reach of ordinary people.
No one can help me, I can only pray and sing in private.
Jia Xu's ability to grasp people's hearts is unparalleled in the world. With a glance at the faces of his personal guards, he can clearly see the thoughts of these people. While feeling warm in his heart, he can't help but feel dumbfounded.
He is panicking, but the bystanders are getting angry. What is this?
"My lord, at this juncture, why are you pretending to be serious by running to the city? Are you afraid of misunderstanding others?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Wang Yu turned around with a smile and asked jokingly: "Wen He, so you are worried?"
"Me?" Jia Xu sniffed and said disdainfully: "I wish I could do it? This military advisor's job is, as you said, one has to do his best and fight to the death. How can there be trouble?
Okay, even if you die, you can catch it
It's only a fool who dominates Weizhi and refuses to let go. Li Shiyi is a stupid pig. He just agreed at that time. Let Guo Fengxiao be the cow, horse, and military advisor, and I will be your master's butler.
, the kind that doesn’t require any work.”
After thinking for a while, he added: "It's better to kidnap people directly or even kill them. Keeping such a troublesome guy would be a big disaster! This Li Shiyi, I thought he was nothing but stupid.
All good, now look at it, he is not only stupid, but also very stupid. He has to ask for instructions on everything, what else do you need him as a captain?"
Wang Yu felt that Li Shiyi was really innocent. He had been looking for Guo Jia for a long time but could not find him. He finally found him. Time was tight and he did not have time to give any more warnings, but it was obvious that Li Shi took him seriously.
It's really weird to have the courage to kill someone immediately.
However, he didn't have time to defend his subordinates right now. Instead, he spread his arms and put on an innocent look: "Then I have to disappoint you. I am not charming enough to be a lord, and I don't know how to vomit and hold my hair."
In the end, all I can do is capture you and make you a cow, a horse, and a strategist. Then you will die of exhaustion. What can I do?"
Jia Xu sighed sadly: "Well, what can I do? I can only blame myself for my miserable life."
Thinking of all the things they had done since they met, the two looked at each other and smiled, and all the grudges that existed or did not exist disappeared.
"Wen He, you came just in time. Once Guo Jia comes out, the previous strategy may not work. The entire plan will have to be changed."
Not being able to recruit Guo Jia was certainly a pity for Wang Yu, but he didn't regret it. He had already predicted this when he was looking for Guo Jia and sending out the recruitment.
Who was the wisest strategist in the Three Kingdoms era? Wang Yu has never done statistics, but in his opinion, it is nothing more than those three or four people: Kong Ming, who is so wise and almost demonic, Jia Xu, who has insight into people's hearts, Guo Jia, who is clever and calculating, and top
Plus the versatile Zhou Gongjin.
As for Sima Yi and his ilk, he is just a shady politician, not a military strategist at all. If it were not for his identity, I am afraid he would not be written down as an important role in the history books. The things he is good at are actually the same as Yuan Shao
If you follow a routine, your achievements may be very high. But most of your achievements are of the kind that cannot be put on the stage and cannot be seen in the light.
Among the Four Great Wise Men, Kong Ming and Guo Jia are the most similar. Kong Ming is ten years younger than Guo Jia. He debuted ten years later, and he officially came out of the army at the age of twenty-six or seven. Before that, Guo Jia had served in the Yuan Shao Shogunate.
After such a short experience, Zhuge Liang simply stayed at home.
Wang Yu thought that he was not Yi Zhongtian. In his previous life, he would not have studied every detail of the Three Kingdoms over and over, but in this life, he would not be able to do without studying.
According to his knowledge, the ancients matured early, and there were many people who started doing things at the age of twelve or thirteen. Isn't Gan Luo, who was the prime minister at thirteen, an allusion to the Han Dynasty? Guo Jia and the others did not necessarily imitate Gan Luo's exaggeration, but
You don’t have to wait until you are twenty-six or seven to come out.
Later generations were very particular about work. Although the Han Dynasty was not so particular, there were a few people who didn’t want to take advantage of their youth to get more qualifications and make their resumes look better. With the talents of these two, they were afraid that they would not be able to find anyone to accept them.
Isn’t it true that just by showing off your talent you are qualified to be treated like a guest?
The reason why they are unwilling to serve as officials, if we use the inference method, is that these two people have too high ambitions, and they are not even willing to be inferior to others.
After Guo Jia became an official, Cao Cao obeyed his words and was a well-deserved chief strategist; Zhuge Liang was worse than Guo Jia. After all, he missed the best opportunity and had not many choices, but he was still the number one person in Shu Han in the end.
As a result, Wang Yu unfortunately guessed the truth and lost the opportunity to recruit Guo Jia. Speaking of which, he provided this opportunity to Cao Cao. If Xi Zhicai had not died, Cao Cao would not have been able to recruit Guo Jia.
, no matter how sincere you are, it’s all in vain.
If it were Jia Xu or Xu Shu who went to poach people, they might have the principle of getting people even if they don't get what they want, and then they would lure people back first. Unfortunately, the place where Guo Jia stayed was not very good, it was an enemy-occupied area.
, we can only send a guy named Lieutenant Li, who is not very smart, and is actually not very smart, to be a lobbyist.
There is really nothing to regret about failure. It is enough to get Jia Xu among the four great military advisors.
"Cao Mengde mobilized troops in such a way, and Xun Wenruo also visited beforehand, which shows that Guo Fengxiao is indeed extraordinary. If my lord, your previous plan cannot be implemented smoothly, then you should turn to consolidating the results." When it comes to business, Jia Xu is still very keen,
His suggestions were also bloody.
"That's all we can do." Wang Yu nodded and suddenly asked in a confused manner: "Wen He, who do you prefer to carry out this mission?"
"My lord, you have already made up your mind, so why bother to ask me? The one who attacks Langya must be Zhang Junyi!" Jia Xu smiled brightly and said: "If that weren't the case, lord, why have you been urging General Zhang to reorganize his troops and horses these past few days? Did he select elite soldiers from Hebei Province?"
Wang Yu stroked his palms and smiled: "It's true that we can't hide it from Wen He."
"My Lord is hesitant, presumably because he is worried about the risks of employing people, right?" Jia Xu was not satisfied, but asked with a slight solemnity.
"Exactly." Wang Yu admitted frankly. Although he believed in Zhang Jia's character, a subordinated general was a subordinated general after all. He could not guess what Zhang Zhi was thinking. Who can guarantee that Zhang Zhi and Cao Cao had no personal relationship with each other? Click to connect? In the Battle of Guandu in history, he took Gao Lan and went directly to Cao Ying.
Zhang Jaw was not one of Qingzhou's fifth generals who was famous for his loyalty. If he were to let such a man out to take charge of his own affairs, if he was instigated to rebel, he would really lose his wife and his army.
But thinking about it conversely, there are many benefits to releasing Zhang Jia. The most important one is undoubtedly the effect of buying horse bones for a thousand dollars. Zhang Jia is the first heavyweight demoted general recruited by the Qingzhou Army. With his precedent, in In future battles, it will be much easier to persuade famous generals to surrender.
What Wang Yu has been thinking about in the past two days, apart from the general situation of the world, is half of his mind on Zhang Jia. The task of counterattacking Langya is not difficult militarily, but it has a great diplomatic impact, so it is left to this person is the most suitable, the question is its reliability.
Before the battle in Pingyuan, Zhang Jia sent his confidants to take his family members to Yanzhou, but they have not yet reconnected with him. Guo Jia is already in power there, so there is no guarantee that if Cao Cao robs Zhang Jia's family members, they can use them to instigate Zhang Jia. , that would be troublesome.
Jia Xu narrowed his eyes and said with a mysterious smile: "My lord, there is no need to worry too much. I have been thinking about this for a long time. I think it is not dangerous, so I can do it boldly."
"Oh?" Wang Yu's eyes lit up and he asked: "Where does the plan come from?" (To be continued...)

From different angles, there are different conclusions. Different people also have different opinions. Xiaoyu doesn’t have to convince anyone. meaning.
In fact, this is just a headline. Didn’t you notice that including the chapter name, there are four four-character characters in total? Well, this joke is not funny, let’s just call it a cold joke by Xiaoyu.
