Yang Xiu was not a person who was very good at restraining his emotions. After hearing that Chang Diao gave up the Weishui defense line in vain, he was overjoyed. Although he had slapped himself a few times before coming to see Cao Cao, he couldn't help but raise his lips slightly while talking, and the joy in his heart kept bursting out from the inside to the outside.

Cao Cao read countless people, so he suddenly froze through Yang Xiu's little thoughts.

Cao Cao nominally unified the north, and his reputation was unmatched for a while. All his opponents had to be a human being with their tails, wandering back and forth between Han officials and Cao's family officials, and were forced to obey Cao's terrifying prestige and dared not resist at all.

But now it's different.

Cao Cao was defeated in Chibi and now lost the entire Guanzhong again. This will definitely hit Cao Cao's reputation severely, and Yang Xiu can take more people into his own hands.

Yang Xiu's father Yang Biao was a contemporary scholar, and his mother was Yuan Shu's daughter. He was born with a very noble background and had a lot of resources.

Although he had a bad relationship with Cao Pi, he was a good friend to Cao Zhi.

Now Cao Cao's prestige is greatly damaged, and Cao Pi will definitely not be able to convince the public. Yang Xiu can use his powerful political influence to elect Cao Zhi, and then use the Yang family's strong influence in Guanzhong to repair Ma Chao and Han Sui, and then use Yang Biao as a Han minister to repair Liu Bei and Sun Quan. Everyone is nominally worshipping the Emperor of Han, but in fact they will split the earth around the world, just like the Zhou emperor who was ruled by him. As an important link to balance the relationship between the princes, the Yang family will also stand out instantly and become the object of applause from the world.

It would be unbeautiful if a poor man like Yunshan and Chang Diao rode on his head.

Cao Cao felt a sudden pain in his heart. He had defeated Yuan Shao to control Guanzhong before, and he thought that the world could be settled.

Han Sui and Ma Chao are not a genius opponent. Cao Cao originally thought that as long as he attacked, he would be able to calm the chaos in an instant.

But this time, he not only failed, but was hit hard again like Red Cliff.

Even though he has experienced many ups and downs, he doesn't know what to do now.

But at this moment, a gloomy laugh suddenly sounded behind Yang Xiu, who was proud and satisfied:

"How can you guess the military commander Chang's use of troops at will? Don't talk nonsense."

Yang Xiu turned around in surprise, and even more surprised that he actually saw Jia Xu bent over, smiling with his eyebrows and eyes slowly walking into the tent.

"What do you want to say?"

People like Jia Xu are not worthy of Yang Xiu calling him a master. Yang Xiu was just wondering why Jia Xu, who was usually aware of his self-protection, appeared without reporting, and even dared to refute himself in person.

He took a step back and then he found a tall and burly figure at the entrance of the tent. The man stood with his back facing the tent, and his right hand was slowly pressed on the hilt of the sword. It was Xiahou Dun, who Cao Cao trusted the most.

Jia Xu stood with his hands behind his back, with a confident smile on his face, and said slowly in a calm and calm voice:

"At that time, the six countries were still suspicious about attacking Qin, Han, Sui and Ma Chao had already attacked each other. Now they are actually commanding the coalition forces, but they are seeking death.

General Yun is in Chang'an, which is considered to cut off the thieves' retreat. Military commander Chang wanted to annihilate Han Sui and Ma Chao. His use of troops is so good... Haha, it's not something that Dezu can guess."

Jia Xu is the main promoter of Cao Cao's battle in Guanzhong. Strictly speaking, his judgment on this battle is correct. If it weren't for Cao Cao's physical problems, Ma Chao, who had been fooled by the joke, could not stop Cao's subsequent offensive at all.

But if you lose, you will lose. Jia Xu has been protecting himself all these days and dare not say a word. This time he actually came in person and publicly accused Yang Xiu of being wrong. This is clearly...

Show your attitude!

Beads of sweat the size of beans kept sliding down Yang Xiu's forehead, but he firmly believed in his judgment and said in a cold voice:

"Doctor Jia said, Yang's military information is not accurate?"

"No, no, no," Jia Xu smiled, "I never doubt the military situation of the school affairs. After all, Military Secretary Chang put in a lot of effort before, and Ma Chao's crossing the Wei River was absolutely true!

It was just because Ma Chao had punished Chang’s military advisor for crossing the Wei River. What is the difference between this and Yuan Shao back then?"

Jia Xu changed his past low-key attitude and spoke more and more today, and frequently targeted Yang Xiu, repeatedly raising Chang Diao's status, which made Yang Xiu even more vigilant.

"Doctor Jia is also familiar with military tactics. Please teach me why Military Advisor Chang let Ma Chao cross the Wei River?

Ma Chao is not good at water battles, but the Guanzhong army can launch a fierce attack as long as it crosses the river. Even if our army is strong, wouldn’t it be a waste of time to increase casualties?

Military Secretary Chang clearly used the life of the entire army as a joke. What's wrong with me asking the Prime Minister to punish him?"

Jia Xu looked at Cao Pi with a smile and nodded slowly at him. Cao Pi felt warm in his heart and couldn't help but become excited.

He knew that Jia Xu had never been willing to express his attitude, but once he expressed his attitude, it means that the overall situation was settled and he was now fighting for huge benefits for his future.

Yang Xiu has always had a good relationship with his younger disciple Jian, while Jia Xu is his supporter. Jia Xu targeted Yang Xiu like this, which shows that... he is finally going to win.

"Dazu is afraid he doesn't know that Guanzhong has been in chaos for a long time and the people are living in poverty..."

"Why don't I know?" Yang Xiu retorted and said aggressively, "I also know that the Guanzhong chaos back then, Doctor Jia made a lot of efforts."

Li Jue, a crime in Chang'an, listened to Jia Xu.

Because of Jia Xu's words, Li Jue and Guo Si caused trouble to Guanzhong, killed Wang Yun and kidnapped the emperor, causing all the old ministers, including Yang Biao, to be insulted, and indirectly led to the Han Dynasty becoming like this now.

Yang Xiu had already hated Jia Xu. Now this guy dared to come to him to mock him. He would curse him no matter what.

This incident was originally a major stain on Jia Xu's life. When someone mentioned it a little, Jia Xu's face would have changed drastically.

But this time he just twitched the corners of his mouth, and the old face soon filled with spring again.

"Yes, it was my husband's sin before.

So this time, Guanzhong will be determined, and I can't bear to let Dezu ruin this matter."

He bowed to Cao Cao and Cao Pi, and said warmly:

"Prime Minister, I have also received a message.

I heard that Military Commander Chang won a complete victory by the Yellow River. Han Sui and Ma Chao were only spared. Yang Qiu surrendered. More than half of the rebel generals in Guanzhong were killed. Except for less than 10,000 people fled to the Qiang and Hu tribes, the rest surrendered.

The great chaos in Guanzhong has been going to end over the past decade. I am here to congratulate the Prime Minister.”

This news was shocking, and even made Cao Cao and his son feel unbelievable than Chang Diao's defeat.

How is that possible?

After losing the Wei River defense line, Han Sui and Ma Chao can fully demonstrate the horse battle he is best at. Why is he beaten like this?

Cao Cao, who had been fighting for life, suddenly felt that he would not be able to fight. Even if Chang Diao set up an ambush again, even if he was carrying the water to boost morale, how could he achieve such a result?

Even if Cao Cao leads his army personally, he may not be able to defeat the rebels in Guanzhong head-on. How did the people behind Changdi Palace do it?

"How did you hear it? Did you also build a school affairs behind the Prime Minister's back?" Yang Xiu was shocked and angry. He believed that Jia Xu would not speak nonsense in front of Cao Cao, but this matter was too incredible.

If Guanzhong is recovered, Cao Cao, who was in decline before, will regain the initiative. Wouldn't all his previous plans become a joke?

"Although I don't have school affairs in my hands, I always have a few fellow villagers. Did Dezu forget where I am?"

Only then did Yang Xiu remember that the gloomy and terrifying old man in front of him had a close connection with the Liangzhou people. The calmness in his heart was gradually swallowed up, and his body shook significantly a few times.

"Why, why is this happening..."

.

The official news about the victory or defeat has not yet been heard, and Cao Cao and his son could only temporarily suppress the excitement in their hearts and told Jia Xu not to disclose the matter for the time being, just in case there is a slight deviation, which would be slapped in the face.

Cao Pi was very satisfied with Jia Xu's performance. He enthusiastically took Jia Xu's hand and sent him out of the Prime Minister's Mansion. He kept talking to him all the way, hoping to follow Jia Xu's advice and guidance in the future. This superficial method of winning over made Jia Xu laugh and cry, but when facing this future master, he still humbly showed a flattering look, expressing his willingness to obey Cao Pi's orders in the future and do his best to serve Cao Pi.

In sharp contrast to Cao Pi's proud spring breeze, Yang Xiu's face was gloomy.

He had already noticed a trace of something wrong, but he still had a last glimmer of luck in his heart, thinking that Jia Xu was just a bluff this time and was quietly waiting for the final victory result.

Yang Xiu also realized that his posture was a bit too much before. After hearing that Chang Diao turned defeat into victory, he not only disliked but showed a disappointed expression. This must have been clearly seen by Cao Cao.

This level of cultivation is still not enough, Yang Xiu warned himself to work harder in the future.

Looking at Jia Xu's back as he walked away, he slowly clenched his fists and began to figure out a way out for himself with difficulty.

If, if it is really as Jia Xu said, what should we do?

·

Jia Xu slowly boarded the carriage.

Instead of going back to the house directly, he went to buy some daily expenses at home with the help of his servants, and then walked slowly on the street in the cold wind, and walked into an inn without realizing it.

The postman seemed to be prepared. When he saw Jia Xu coming, he just nodded slightly and called him, allowing Jia Xu to slowly walk into an inconspicuous wood-room.

Xu Shu sat quietly in the woodshed. When he saw Jia Xu coming, he stood up to greet him and saluted slowly at Jia Xu.

"Thank you, Mr. Jia, for your hard work!"

“Haha, it’s a matter of raising hands.

The Prime Minister will naturally know this after a few days. I have to thank Yuan Zhi for reporting the news."

Xu Shu's pale face showed a crazy smile due to excitement. He nodded slightly and smiled calmly:

"I still have to thank Mr. Jia, otherwise I'm worried that Cao Thief would not be able to hold on at that time."

Even though Jia Xu has been treating human life as a mustard for many years, he couldn't help feeling a slight cold when he saw Xu Shu's calm smile.

However, he quickly returned to his calm.

"Supporting the Han Dynasty has always been Jia's long-cherished wish, but he has never had a chance for so many years.
