Chapter 371 The Venom of the Viper

Liu Mang finally knew how poisonous Jia Xu's poisonous snake was, and even more so how strong Jia Xu's desire for revenge was. Before leaving Nanyang and coming to Shouchun, he lit up all the food and grass in Nanyang, so that there was no food and grass left in Wancheng now, and he could only rely on Runan, Yuzhou to support it.

"Wenhe, are you giving me a gift?!" Liu Mang looked at Jia Xu with a smile. Jia Xu came to surrender this time but gave him two big gifts. The first one is the Xiliang Iron Cavalry under his command, with more than 6,400 people. Those who can hold on to this place are the elite troops among the Xiliang Iron Cavalry. Liu Mang did not have the coldness of the newly surrendered Ge army and Zhang Hu's heart. In addition to Liu Mang's preparation to allocate hundreds of Xiliang Iron Cavalry as the heavy armored infantrymen under his command, the other Xiliang Iron Cavalry are still commanding in the hands of these two people, but the main general has been replaced. This time, Lu Bu gave Zhang Liao to Liu Mang.

He was transferred here, it was not that Zhang Liao made a mistake, but that Lu Bu didn't want Zhang Liao to stay in the Bingzhou wolf cavalry now, so Zhang Liao could only see things and think of others. Another reason was that Zhang Liao used Zhang Liao's firm character and his first-hand military training methods to make the Western Liang Iron Cavalry surrender. The most important thing is that Zhang Liao and the Western Liang Iron Cavalry still had hatred. Although Zhang Xiu was dead, Zhang Liao was still hostile to the Western Liang Iron Cavalry. This kind of hostility was not wanted by Liu Mang and Lu Bu. Since the Western Liang Iron Cavalry subjugated, it was his own people. If the commander of the Bingzhou wolf cavalry under his command hated the Western Liang Iron Cavalry every day, what was this called?

As the saying goes, it is better to be dispersed than blocking, so Lu Bu and Liu Mang left the great god Zhang Liao, as soon as they planned, and stayed in Shouchun to command the Western Liang Iron Cavalry. With Zhang Liao's methods, he would definitely not have a bad thing, but because of his hostility towards the Western Liang Iron Cavalry, he would still train these Xiliang cubs to death, so that Liu Mang would have another elite army in his hands. How could Liu Mang be unhappy!

The second gift Jia Xu gave was Zhang Xiu's youngest son Zhang Lei. Liu Mang left Zhang Lei, and after being surrendered to the Western Liang Iron Cavalry, he gained a good reputation. This reputation could even be famous all over the world because Liu Mang and Zhang Xiu were enemies. Zhang Xiu joined forces with Liu Bei but almost broke Liu Mang's foundation and destroyed his foundation. Even half of the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry died. Lu Bu was even ambushed. Such hatred is not deep! However, Liu Mang and Lu Bu abandoned past grudges, not only did not care about the mistakes made by Zhang Xiu, but also incorporated the Western Liang Iron Cavalry and took Zhang Lei's son. Even under the instigation of Xu Shu and Liu Ye, Liu Mang took Zhang Lei as his adopted son. This kind of tolerance is widely circulated in the world. Those scholars all admired Liu Mang's virtues more and more.

But Liu Mang didn't expect that Jia Xu was still hiding this. When they left Nanyang, they actually ordered the granary of Wancheng in Nanyang with a torch! Now, this Liu Da'er probably wants to drink the northwest wind, because the foundation of Yuzhou is almost squeezed. He originally hoped to take Wancheng to supplement it, but now he can only subsidize it himself. Liu Bei, Nanyang, had just gotten it, and he could not abandon it, so he could only rely on the Weibo military food in Yuzhou. Fortunately, there were not many people in Nanyang. Otherwise, Liu Bei might be dragged down by his new territory.

"This is not a gift to the lord, but just to protect himself!" Jia Xu did not seek credit because it was not a credit at all, but a poisonous fang stretched out by Jia Xu. If Liu Bei dares to make a decision about Jia Xu, you can either kill Jia Xu directly, or you can wait for Jia Xu to have a gulp of poisonous fangs! This is a shock to Jia Xu. It can also be regarded as a warning to other people who have made a decision about Jia Xu.

"Uh!" Everyone around felt that Jia Xu was really a little more hostile, and he couldn't help but feel cold. Because others attacked him, he directly gave the food and supplies of a county. If Nanyang was an ordinary county in Jingzhou, then the unlucky one would be just one or two people. Perhaps hundreds of thousands of people in a county would starve to death, which was enough to see that Jia Xu could sacrifice everything else in front of his own interests. Everyone couldn't help but widen Jia Xu's distance.

"Haha," Liu Mang smiled awkwardly and felt that the poisonous snake was a little over, but Liu Mang had already grasped the seven inches of the poisonous snake. As long as Liu Mang was not defeated and his foundation was unstable, he would not be afraid of the poisonous snake biting back. "Liu Bei and Liu Xuande may regret his failure to investigate for the moment!" How could Liu Bei not regret it? Liu Mang learned everything from Jia Xu one after another. That day outside Shouchun, Zhang Xiu's Western Liang Iron Cavalry was surrounded and ambushed by Lu Bu's army, and only a thousand cavalry escaped. Liu Bei's white-eared heavy armored soldiers and general Chen Dao who came to rescue were also left by Lu Bu's army. It can be said that Liu Bei and Zhang Xiu were both fleeing in a panic.

Originally, Lu Bu wanted to take advantage of the victory and pursue Liu Bei, but he had to give up because of the food and grass problem. In addition, it was difficult to find the traces of these two troops, and they should have been hidden in the dense forest.

The news of Zhang Xiu's defeat soon spread to Nanyang. Jia Xu from Nanyang could still accept it. Winning and defeat are common among military strategists! There are losses and wins. Although Zhang Xiu lost 20,000 heavily armored cavalry this time, Zhang Xiu did not hurt the knot. He was originally a person who was waiting for the price. Although there were many heavy armored cavalry in Xiliang, it was just a part of Zhang Xiu's troops. Zhang Xiu also had 18,000 Western Liang cavalry and 30,000 infantry in Nanyang. As long as Zhang Xiu returned, he could still find a good lord. Jia Xu was also preparing to persuade Zhang Xiu to find a lord as soon as possible. The situation in the world was about to be clear. The overlord of the northern overlord, the overlord of the Central Plains, and the overlord south of the Yangtze River were the real people in the world who could compete for hegemony. Zhang Xiu relied on the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hand and his years of savings, no matter which one he joined, he was extremely welcome.

But what Jia Xu didn't expect was that Zhang Xiu died and died in Yangzhou. Jia Xu's first reaction was that he did not believe it. Although Zhang Xiu attacked Yangzhou, Jia Xu believed that it would be impossible for Zhang Xiu to die with the wisdom of Chen Gong of Lu Bu's army. If Zhang Xiu died, then Nanyang would become a land without a border, and it was very easy to attract hatred. Nanyang would definitely remain with Yangzhou in Lujiang. Chen Gong would not do such a loss-making business. Later, Zhang Xiu's body came back, and Hu Cheer brought back Zhang Xiu's body, which made Jia Xu a little believer, because Lu Bu was just a reckless person. Perhaps Chen Gong said it, but Lu Bu didn't listen. After all, Hu Cheer can be regarded as a minister of the Zhang family. He has been among the Western Liang Iron Cavalry since he followed Zhang Ji. It can be regarded as Zhang Xiu's confidant. The words he said in Hu Cheer's tone are very high.

At that time, Jia Xu began to believe it slowly, but shook his head and sighed. He thought that Lu Bu was a character, but who knew that this was the case, Jia Xu also began to prepare to continue to lie dormant. He even prepared to leave alone.

Zhang Xiu died, and Hu Cheer brought back Zhang Xiu's last words. The one who passed the throne was not Zhang Xiu's eldest son Zhang Quan, but taught the position of the Lord of Nanyang to Zhang Ji's son Zhang Cheng. This is to return the throne and also to cause disaster. Although the inheritance system of the eldest son has its drawbacks, he ensured that there would be no large-scale civil strife after he succeeded to the throne. You must know that the reason why Zhang Xiu was able to inherit Zhang Ji's position at that time was not only Zhang Ji's love for Zhang Xiu, but also one thing was that Zhang Ji's son Zhang Cheng was still a child of thirteen or fourteen years old. What did the Xiliang Army know? At that time, the situation was that the army could not break the city from Nanyang, and the army had insufficient food and grass.

If a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child is in power, then there is no other way to go except for the destruction of the Xiliang army. Therefore, Zhang Ji was passed down to Zhang Xiu. At that time, Zhang Xiu was still very prestigious among the Western Liang Iron Cavalry. Zhang Ji hoped that Zhang Xiu could take the Western Liang Iron Cavalry to overcome the difficulties, which could be regarded as leaving a bloodline for him. It is obvious that Zhang Ji passed the throne very successfully. Zhang Xiu did not choose to fight to the death with Liu Biao in Jingzhou, but chose to compromise and cooperate with Liu Biao in Jingzhou. He guarded Nanyang and helped Liu Biao guard the southern gate of Jingzhou. Liu Biao in Jingzhou gave Zhang Xiu a habitat and a supply of food and grass.

Now that Zhang Xiu is dead, it is logical that he should be passed on to his eldest son Zhang Quan. If Zhang Quan is just as young as Zhang Cheng back then, then it is understandable that he is still in Zhang Cheng, allowing Zhang Cheng to inherit the Xiliang Army. But Zhang Quan is not young, and Zhang Quan is even one year older than Zhang Chengdu. How could Zhang Quan convince him? Why should I give up the foundation left by his father? When he was in Nanyang, Zhang Quan was originally trained as a young lord. Now the news brought by Hu Cheer is still in Zhang Cheng, so Zhang Quan was not happy at that time.

Zhang Cheng was also overjoyed because he thought he was in Zhang Quan. After all, Zhang Quan was Zhang Xiu's son, so no one was not loved by his own son. Zhang Cheng still knew his brother Zhang Xiu. Although he cared about him very much, he was also wary of himself. Now that Zhang Xiu died, he actually gave him a high position. Didn't this make Zhang Cheng excited? Zhang Cheng originally wanted to retreat because that was because Zhang Cheng's team was not enough. Because Zhang Xiu was on guard, although Zhang Cheng was in a high position in Nanyang, he was just a civil servant without real power. How could he succeed to the throne?

Fortunately, Hu Cheer was loyal to Zhang Cheng at this time. Hu Cheer had a high prestige among the Western Liang army and had Hu Cheer's support. It can be said that he had firmly taken half of the position. In addition to some of the old ministers left by Zhang Ji after his death, Zhang Cheng could still take the position of the Lord of Nanyang.

So Zhang Cheng resolutely prepared to be his Lord of Nanyang, but what he didn't expect was that Hu Cheer's loyalty was also said to Zhang Quan. On the day when Zhang Cheng became the Lord of Wancheng, Zhang Quan broke out. Zhang Quan had soldiers in his hands. The soldiers besieged Zhang Cheng and wanted to ask Hu Cheer for help, but he was stunned. Hu Cheer disappeared, and Zhang Cheng's final outcome was also destined. Zhang Quan was much crueler than his father Zhang Xiu. Not only did he pull Zhang Cheng off the position of Lord of Nanyang, but he also brought Zhang Cheng away.

He killed Zhang Cheng directly to eliminate future troubles. Zhang Quan thought he had succeeded and Nanyang was in his hands, but Zhang Quan was not happy for long, because after he killed Zhang Cheng, Hu Cheer appeared. Hu Cheer did not come to congratulate him, but to kill him! The name was also very refreshing, that is, Zhang Quan was fond of the master. Regardless of whether Zhang Quan was Zhang Xiu's son, Zhang Cheng was the nominal lord of Nanyang after all. After Zhang Quan killed Zhang Cheng, Hu Cheer could naturally stand up and uphold justice, and Zhang Quan was also killed.

Zhang Xiu's eldest son Zhang Quan died, and Zhang Ji's son Zhang Cheng died, leaving only one youngest son Zhang Lei. Hu Cheer wanted to push Zhang Xiu's youngest son Zhang Lei to the front desk. Zhang Lei inherited his father's General Yang Wu's position. Zhang Lei was only five years old and was the top ten puppet candidate.

Jia Xu looked at Hu Cheer's every move coldly. Jia Xu was indifferent to Hu Cheer's everything. After all, Jia Xu didn't want to get involved. After all, Hu Cheer was also very famous in the army. However, Jia Xu didn't expect that if he didn't mess with Hu Cheer, Hu Cheer had his own ideas and wanted to assist him Hu Cheer himself. Hu Cheer made a clear statement. Zhang Xiu was killed by him, but it was not killed by Hu Cheer alone. There was Zhang Fei and Liao Hua from Liu Bei's army as an assistant. Hu Cheer rebelled because Zhang Xiu blamed him for losing eight thousand Western Liang cavalry, and Hu Cheer broke his arm. He was afraid that Zhang Xiu would abandon him, while Pang Tong in Liu Bei's army wanted the troops of the Western Liang army. The two sides naturally killed Zhang Xiu.

Now Hu Cheer wants Jia Xu to assist him because he doesn't want to be under Liu Bei anymore. Because when he killed Zhang Quan, the feeling of being in power was so good that Hu Cheer could not bear to abandon him. If he welcomed Liu Bei, then even if Hu Cheer made great contributions, he would be under others. Hu Cheer didn't want to do this. He knew that he was no match for himself, but Jia Xu's talent was able to give him Hu Cheer firmly.

Hu Cheer wants Jia Xu to be loyal, of course Jia Xu doesn't want to do it. What kind of thing is Hu Cheer? Just a Hu man, to put it nicely, the Qiang tribe, but the bad one is just a savage barbarian. Now he is still a disabled barbarian. What qualifications do you have to make Jia Xu loyal? Even Zhang Xiu and Dong Zhuo can't impress him, Jia Xu, let alone such a Hu boy.

Moreover, although Jia Xu has no moral integrity and is even very vicious. However, Jia Xu is still a Han man after all, and he cannot be in the hands of a Hu man. This is the most basic dignity of being a Han man! Jia Xu refused without thinking. After Jia Xu refused, he regretted it, not because he regretted rejecting Hu Cheer, but because he shouldn't have refused directly. This would lead to Hu Cheer's attack on him.

Sure enough, Hu Cheer did not dare to kill Jia Xu directly on the surface. After all, Jia Xu still has fame, and the Western Liang cavalry also gave Jia Xu a lot of face. Hu Cheer's prestige in the army is that most of the Han cavalry in the Qiang cavalry should respect Jia Xu more. After all, Jia Xu is a cultural person.

Hu Cheer did not kill Jia Xu directly. But this person had a tyrannical factor in his blood. Since he couldn't get it, he would naturally kill Jia Xu, because Jia Xu knew too much. Once Jia Xu revealed it to Liu Bei, Hu Cheer would be almost the same. Moreover, if Jia Xu was so talented, if Liu Bei fell in love with him, then Hu Cheer would not have a good life in the future.

So Hu Cheer wanted to kill Jia Xu, and Hu Cheer was not a fool. He knew that the Han cavalry respected Jia Xu very much. If he wanted to kill Jia Xu openly, then these Han cavalry would definitely not agree. Moreover, he also killed Zhang Xiu's son Zhang Quan, which made the Han cavalry dissatisfied. Even if Zhang Quan was obsessed with the Lord, it would not be your turn, an outsider, to intervene.

Hu Cheer dispersed all the Han cavalry, and even some important Han generals were asked to go out by Hu Cheer, and they were killed in the end. Hu Cheer was not stupid, and Jia Xu was even less stupid. Will Jia Xu let Hu Cheer deal with him? No way! Hu Cheer was acting, and Jia Xu was not idle either. It would have been a laborious task for Jia Xu to contact the Han generals. After all, Hu Cheer has always been the deputy general of the Western Liang Army, and he still has prestige, but unexpectedly Hu Cheer gave him a chance. He was scheduling the Han Dynasty, so he pushed the Han generals to Jia Xu.

Jia Xu also had selfish intentions among Hu Cheer's Han Dynasty. Some Han generals had bad relationships with Jia Xu, and Jia Xu was afraid that those Han generals with their own opinions would not be good at leading them, so those who had their own opinions were basically sent by Hu Cheer to see the King of Hell.

The remaining ones are Ge Jun, Zhang Hu, and Liu Jie. There are three generals in total, the person Jia Xu contacted. The endings of so many seniors in front of them were there, so these three were naturally afraid. They surrounded Jia Xu as their own protection, but Liu Jie died in battle later.

There were nearly 10,000 people from the Western Liang Iron Cavalry, and the rest were Han soldiers and horses. More than 1,000 people were cleared by Hu Cheer. Jia Xu took them to take action first. Hu Cheer thought everything was done, so he was almost killing Jia Xu, but he didn't expect Jia Xu to take action first. Jia Xu led three Han generals and more than 7,000 people directly into the city. The first target of attack was the Nanyang Prefectural Palace, which contained Zhang Xiu's family. The most important one was Zhang Xiu's youngest son Zhang Lei. This was a talisman that Jia Xu gave him. It was easy to return with Zhang Lei. He could steal Zhang Lei. After that, Jia Xu's target was placed on the food and grass in Nanyang.

Hu Che'er never lived in Nanyang. He lived in the camp of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry. Jia Xu could not take revenge on him and could not kill Hu Che'er, but could not kill Hu Che'er. Jia Xu could make it difficult for him to live in Hu Che'er, so Jia Xu burned all the food and grass in Nanyang with a torch.

Anyway, Jia Xu was not going to stay in Nanyang anymore, and it was useless to keep the food and grass. Jia Xu burned Nanyang's food and grass. If Hu Cheer didn't react, he would be a fool. The two Western Liang cavalry met outside Nanyang, Qiang cavalry and Han cavalry, these two former robes interacted with each other. Hu Cheer could not stop Jia Xu, and Jia Xu also left the price of a thousand people. The war general Liu Jie was also killed in battle, and then rushed out of Nanyang.

So now Nanyang is basically without any food and grass. There are few people in Nanyang, and Hu Cheer cannot rob the people. He can only rely on the already broken family of Liu Bei in Yuzhou!

No one who messes with this poisonous snake has ever had a good result!
