Looking at Jia Xu angrily, Wang Yu snorted angrily and said: "What's the matter? I have to tell you at this time? He, I'm not trying to scare you. If you don't give me an explanation today, I will give you one."
Tell me, you'd better take it easy."
"I'm afraid." He apologized, but Jia Xu had a smile on his face, not apologetic at all, but he didn't have a straight face, saying something like: The soldiers in the front are fighting bloody battles, and the lord must not sing and sing in the rear every night.
Nonsense. He just bowed and said calmly: "There are just some things, so it's better to make a decision quickly."
"Over there in Luoyang, can you just discuss it with Zhou?" Wang Yu replied absently.
"No, no." Jia Xu shook his head: "Although that matter is important, it is not urgent. The waterway from Hedong to Hanoi is not so easy to travel, and the trip takes a lot of time. Even if everything goes well,
Once all the white waves have migrated, I’m afraid we’ll have to wait until summer.”
"Then what else is going on? Could it be that Cao Cao has done something?" Wang Yu was confused by what he said.
Jia Xu looked like he had known this for a long time and reminded him: "My lord, you are such a noble man and forget your things. Are you going to ignore that Chief Wei?"
"He?" Wang Yu felt that Jia Xu was a little confused and asked: "He, what do you think I should do with him?"
"What do you think of this person, my lord?" Jia Xu asked without answering.
Wang Yu thought for a moment and then muttered: "This person is very good at martial arts, courageous and courageous, and seems to have some scheming, but there is no need to worry too much about loyalty. He can be used as a general to guard one side.
"
Most of these comments come from what he knew in his previous life. They are very general and have little substantive content. This cannot be blamed on Wang Yu for being ignorant. In fact, the image of Wei Yan in the eyes of most later readers is probably very vague.
of.
Zhuge Liang had a very fantasy evaluation of him. If there is a traitor in the back of his head, he will rebel over time. But in the end, Wei Yan did not really rebel or rebel. When he was most impulsive, he just wanted to deal with Yang Yi, and then
Take over Zhuge Liang's footsteps and continue the great cause of the Northern Expedition.
Liu Bei paid great attention to Wei Yan. When choosing the governor of Guanzhong, he even gave up Zhang Fei, his sworn brother, and chose to trust Wei Yan.
The way Wei Yan appeared was also very dramatic. He suddenly came out when Liu Bei fled Xinye and arrived at Xiangyang City. The timing he chose was very clever, and he didn't look like a foolhardy man at all.
Jia Xu suddenly asked, and the answer Wang Yu gave was naturally not very clear. How could he know a lot of contradictory information before he met a real person?
"Lord Mingjian." Jia Xu responded vaguely. Then he spoke of his own opinions: "Most of what you said is right, but in terms of scheming, you underestimated him. As for guarding a general as a general... Xu thought that
.This argument is also worthy of discussion.”
"How do you say this?" Jia Xu's best ability is to read people's opinions. It is rare for him to take the initiative to speak. Of course, Wang Yu must listen attentively.
"Some details can be seen from Meng Jin's battle."
Jia Xu explained: "Like Yuan Zhi, he came to join the army because of his reputation. At that time, Yuan Zhi's list of hussars had not yet been circulated, and Yuan Zhi's acting style was also low-key. Later, after he made great contributions, you personally promoted him
, and restored his name. Although the situations of the two of them are different, even if they change places, there will probably not be much difference."
"That makes sense." Wang Yu nodded in approval.
Xu Shu is a man who knows how to advance and retreat. In a series of battles in Hedong, this characteristic of his was vividly displayed. Obviously he did not take any action, everything was planned by Xu Shu himself, but after the victory in the battle, it was himself
As his reputation soared, Xu Shu almost didn't tell anyone that he acted based on his own clever plan.
What Wei Yan did so openly in Mengjin would not have been possible for Xu Shu.
"Since he came to join the army, and he found out a lot of information along the way, normally he should have gone through the peaceful Luoyang, rather than the war-filled Hanoi. But he came to Hanoi instead, and emphatically mentioned in the rumors
Meng Jin lingers. Do you think he is waiting for something or looking for something?"
"Go on." Wang Yu knew that the drama was coming.
"It's very simple, he is just waiting for the opportunity."
Jia Xu categorically made a conclusion: "Now that the Six Hussars Army has grown in size, and all the generals are in their respective positions, until the war resumes and there is a large-scale military expansion operation, there will probably be no chance to rise to the top. From a new introduction
Ding, even if you are named on the Hussar list, it may be difficult to become the commander-in-chief of an army, unless you have some special leaders like Zilong."
Wang Yu nodded. Zhao Yun's battlefield sense comes from his innate keen observation. This ability makes him the best candidate to coach the light cavalry unit. Coupled with his experience and performance in the Battle of Jieqiao,
Only then did he become the youngest head coach of the first army.
Wei Yan's reputation is not much lower than that of Zhao Yun, but in terms of ability, there doesn't seem to be anything special about him.
"Times make heroes. He must have had the same idea, preparing to show off his skills in the Battle of Hanoi and then win a place in our Qingzhou Army. This is particularly obvious from his grasp of the timing of his attack...
…”
According to Jia Xu's analysis, Wei Yan was probably targeting Zhou Yi and others before they met in the restaurant. The subsequent argument was not only to identify himself, but also to convey a message of goodwill. He was not in a hurry when Meng Jin was in trouble.
Instead of taking action, he kept observing from the sidelines in order to find the best time to take action.
Hard work pays off, he waited.
Because of their misjudgment, Zhou Yi and others fell into trouble and were about to be trapped in the city. At the critical moment, Wei Yan took action in the most shocking way. Needless to say, Zhou Yi and others took credit for saving people afterwards.
The gratitude and the respect that comes with it is what he needs most.
With this, as long as he has Wang Yu's approval, he can win the command of this army that has excellent combat power but insufficient commander level, and will shine in the subsequent Hanoi War, or be completely defeated.
The army was destroyed.
Wang Yu was amazed by Jia Xu's previous analysis, but the last sentence made him a little confused: "The entire army was wiped out?"
"Yes, the entire army was wiped out!"
Jia Xu nodded solemnly and replied seriously: "Although he has some wisdom, but after all, he is among the people, his age is limited, and his experience is quite insufficient, so his judgment of the situation is biased. He did not expect that since Yuan Zhi was in Anyi
After achieving a great victory and getting rid of the pursuit of Mrs. Guo and Li Jue, the situation has suddenly become clearer. My lord, you have other things to worry about. Therefore, he set his target on Zhang Yang and the entire Hanoi!"
After hearing this, Wang Yu felt a sudden enlightenment.
Isn't it? Wei Yan has been planning for so long, and his goal is obviously not only to save an unknown captain and a hundred soldiers, but also to use it as money to make the snowball roll. He wants to raid Anyi and kill Zhang Yang.
Make a great contribution.
Jia Xu's analysis is indeed very similar to that of Wei Yan in history. In the novel, when this person first appeared, it was also at a critical time when Liu Bei was chasing troops and there was no way out. He stepped forward and opened the city.
He opened the gate and had a chaotic fight with the defender Pinyi Tong, giving Liu Bei an opportunity to enter the city.
But he didn't expect that unless the entire Jingzhou army defected, Liu Beigen would not dare to fight Cao Cao in Xiangyang. As a result, Liu Bei ran away, and Wei Yan, who misjudged the situation, was left there. After destroying all the troops, he had no choice but to do so.
Withdrew, ran all the way to Changsha, and continued to wait for the opportunity.
Later, he also killed Han Xuan and welcomed Liu Bei's army into the city, which had been unable to attack for a long time.
Based on this, Wei Yan's ability to seize opportunities is indeed good. However, compared with Zhao Yun's characteristic of specifically looking for flaws and attacking weaknesses, Wei Yan seems to prefer speculation.
Historically, the famous disagreement between him and Zhuge Liang was that the strategy of surprise attack on Ziwu Valley was also speculative. This strategy does have the possibility of success, but it is very dangerous. If you win, you will win everything, if you lose, you will lose everything.
Leave no leeway. This strategy naturally has no merit in the eyes of Zhuge Liang, who has always been cautious in his life.
"In this case, He, do you think he is not suitable to lead the army as a general?"
"Of course it's not suitable." Jia Xu said in a matter-of-fact tone: "Our army is now strong. Future battles should focus on stability. As long as you don't reveal any big flaws, you, my lord, will be the one to bring peace to the world.
! Wei Yan is new, but if he is a deputy general, he must be unwilling to do so, eager to perform, and racking his brains to find opportunities to make meritorious deeds, just like what he did in Mengjin."
"Then let him be the general?" After all, he is a famous general. Of course, Wang Yu will not abandon him. It would be too wasteful.
"There is something wrong with being a general. With his character, it is easy to compete with others for the limelight. Ziyi also likes to compete with others for the limelight, but he has no scheming. He only fights straightforwardly and will not cause too difficult consequences. But this guy
Chief Wei, I'm afraid he'll do whatever it takes to get the limelight."
"In this case..." Wang Yu finally realized the seriousness of the situation. According to what Jia Xu said, a good general should be abandoned? Could it be that what Zhuge Liang said was rebellious, that Wei Yan was striving to get ahead and would do whatever it took to do so.
style?
Oh, that's troublesome.
"We can't drive him away, right? It's just a problem with his personality, but it's not a big problem." Wang Yu felt that Wei Yan was very pitiful and was always looked down upon by military advisors. The same was true for Kong Ming and the same was true for Jia Xu.
"Not young." Jia Xu said earnestly: "My lord, you have to think about what kind of character the generals in the army have now? Even the most taciturn and profound generals were not originally called very scheming. Now,
Now that someone likes this is here, do you think the army is too peaceful?"
Wang Yu couldn't defeat Jia Xu, so he had no choice. He spread his hands and said: "Then what do you think we should do? Drive him away and we will have a strong enemy in the future?"
"Of course not." Jia Xu waved his hand and said: "This person is a talent, the key is to see how he is used."
"Then how do you use it?" Before being interrupted by Jia Xu, Wang Yu was unsheathing his sword and loading his gun. As a result, the fat man poured cold water on him again. At this time, he was in a bad mood and simply stopped guessing.
Stare at Jia Xu and ask him to explain why.
Jia Xu twisted his beard and narrowed his eyes, and said slowly: "Xu thinks that we should go with the flow and let him serve in the Yinwu Army. After a few years, he can be made the chief general of the Yinwu Army."
"Huh?" Wang Yu was greatly surprised and asked subconsciously: "What about Yuan Zhi?"
"My lord, don't you think that Yuan Zhi is not suitable to be the leader of the Hidden Mist Army?" Jia Xu touched his chin and began to explain the reasons for his proposed personnel changes.
"The missions carried out by the Hidden Mist Army are usually very dangerous, requiring ruthlessness and decisiveness. At the same time, the scale of the battle is not large. Although Yuan Zhi is full of tricks, he is too upright, and now his main tasks are
It’s fine against the enemy, but what if we take action against the enemy in the future?”
"My lord, even if you have a way to deal with the problems between the factions, you will never think that our army will always be as harmonious as it is now, right? Sooner or later, the Hidden Mist Army will have to fight internally. Do you think that kind of
Can Yuan Zhi handle the situation?"
"What's more, you should have seen by now that Yuan Zhi is not a general, but a commander! He is particularly good at coordinating operations and commanding large armies to conduct field operations. No one can compare with the generals. Only you, my lord, can win.
, it would be too wasteful for such a person to be confined to a small pond like the Hidden Mist Army."
"My lord, although you have an unparalleled army, the world is so big. When you sweep across the world in the future, there will always be someone who can lead the army and take charge of the battle alone. For now, Yuan Zhi is the best candidate."
"As for the Hidden Mist Army, the nature of combat determines its style. The general is eager for quick success and is willing to take risks. These are not shortcomings, but are advantages. An army in the dark cannot be controlled by people in the sun. What do you think?"
"With your approval, Xu is willing to accept a disciple. Over time, he may become a sharp blade in the hands of the main attacker!"
After Jia Xu finished speaking, Wang Yu was dazzled by what he heard. If nothing else, it was because of the prospects that Jia Xu had outlined.
As the commander-in-chief of one side, Xu Shu fights side by side with Zhao Yun, Taishi Ci and others. How terrifying will the combat power he can unleash?
What is even more difficult to comment on is Wei Yan - Wei Yan who has been trained by the old fox Jia Xu, a Wei Yan who is in charge of the imperial guards and KGB-style troops, a Wei Yan who specializes in walking in the dark... What kind of freak will this be!
Wang Yu was looking forward to this, so he patted Jia Xu on the shoulder and said solemnly: "He, I leave this matter to you, just go ahead and do it."
