Seeing his father's expression was solemn, Yang Xiu was also secretly surprised and asked quickly: "Father, what happened?"

Yang Biao shook his head, "This is Cao Cao telling me."

He stood up and walked to the hall, looked at the lush woods outside the hall with his hands behind his back, and smiled bitterly for a while: "In this sensitive moment when rumors are flying all over the sky, he is thinking about me and sending me a gift, Xiu'er, what do you mean by him?"

At this time, Yang Xian had briefly told Yang Xiu about meeting Cao Cao at the tavern at noon. Yang Xiu then understood why Cao Cao summoned him. It turned out that he was dissatisfied with his uncle's words. He lowered his head and thought for a moment, and suddenly realized, "Father, I understand what he meant."

"Tell me, what does he mean?" Yang Biao turned around and looked at him.

"Sending a thousand-year-old ginseng is a hint that my father can live a long life, while pigs and Zhu are homophones. Sending a ten-mouthed pigs actually means the meaning of trauma and punishment, which means telling us not to talk nonsense."

Yang Xian's face next to him suddenly became very pale and his legs were trembling. Yang Biao nodded, "Xu'er said it well. Cao Cao was just telling me Yang Biao, don't offend him anymore."

Speaking of this, Yang Biao said earnestly to his clan brother Yang Xian: "You understand that Cao Cao is under great pressure now. He needs to be a warning to the aristocratic family. He originally chose Xun Yu, but because Xun You was in Longxi, he has not taken action for a long time. Now that Xun Yu is in the hands of the Han army, he cannot force the Xun family too much. If Xun Yu is forced to become Jia Xu's second, it will be no more worth the loss. So his goal is to turn to our Yang family again, and prepare to attack our Yang family. I hope to put the safety of the Yang family first and stop talking nonsense."

Yang Xian felt huge pressure, and he knew that he had caused a big disaster. If he was not careful, it would cause trouble to the Yang family. So he nodded repeatedly and said, "I remember, I dare not say a word anymore. I went back to Hongnong overnight and stopped staying in Yedu."

"This is the best. If you go back and clean up, I will arrange for the vehicle to take you back."

Yang Xian bowed and left, Yang Biao said to Yang Xiu again: "Cao Cao asked my son to go to Guanzhong to assist Cao Zhi. This is actually a test. Test my attitude. What I mean, you still have to go. At this sensitive moment, our Yang family cannot choose to take sides and cannot be the target of Cao Cao's warning. We still need to continue to keep a low profile. 1."

Yang Xiu nodded silently, "The boy understands it."

"Go and want to be alone and quiet for a while."

Yang Xiu also said goodbye and left. Yang Biao stood in front of the hall with his hands behind his back, thinking about this incident repeatedly. He felt pressure in his heart. He knew that once Cao Cao was targeted, his family would be difficult to escape the disaster. Yang Biao sighed softly. At this point, he could only take one step at a time.

The flood in Jicheng slowly retreated five days later, and there was no lake storm. After the flood receded, the Jicheng area was in a mess and it was difficult to recover without more than ten years. The Han army was busy with disaster relief and recruiting surrendered troops, and at the same time sent troops to surrender the counties in Longxi. Ten days gradually passed.

The Han army camp was located in Linwei County, Guangwei County at this time. More than a mile eastward is the boundary of Guanzhong. This area is the confluence of Longshan and Zhongnan Mountain. The mountains are steep and steep, stretching for thousands of miles. The Wei River rushed out of a gap from the intersection of these two mountains and entered the vast Guanzhong Plain.

In the central army's tent, Liu Jingzheng discussed the next action with more than a dozen senior military officials. At present, there are two completely different opinions in the army. One is to take the morale of the Longxi victory and attack Guanzhong in one go. This view, represented by Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong, is basically the opinion of military generals.

Another view is to advocate consolidating Longxi, pacifying the future troubles of Di cavalry, first taking over the periphery of Guanlong, and finally encircling and annihilation of Guanzhong. This is Jia Xu's opinion, and it has also been supported by officials including Pang Tong, Fa Zheng, Ma Liang and others.

Of course, in the end, Liu Jing's attitude was the main one. Liu Jing initially supported Jia Xu's stable plan, but the Northern Expedition took him enough time, which made Liu Jing lose his patience. In particular, the Han army captured Nanyang County, forming a cross-face attack on Guanzhong. More importantly, Cao Cao's confidence began to lack, and even in the end he wanted to give up Longxi.

This time the capture of Longxi caused a major blow to the morale of the Cao army. Why can't we take advantage of the morale of the Cao army to directly enter Guanzhong when the morale of the Cao army is sluggish? Perhaps it is more appropriate to be politically stable, but military surprises are the king.

"Now the Cao army in Guanzhong has a force of about 110,200,000 troops, and we can use 140,000 troops, 100,000 to the west, 20,000 each in Hanzhong and Nanyang. The Han army in Nanyang took Wuguan Road in the east, and the Hanzhong army in the south walked on Chencang Road. We advanced east along the Weishui River Valley and launched a face-to-face attack, forcing the Cao army to divide its troops to defend. More importantly, Cao Cao's 20,000 cavalry were not in Guanzhong, which gave us a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Liu Jing said this and looked at Jia Xu. He hoped to convince Jia Xu to support him in sending troops. Jia Xu understood Liu Jing's eagerness to seize Guanzhong, and then smiled and said, "I remember that the first thing that happened after seizing Longxi was to destroy the Di cavalry, eliminate future troubles, and then go east to Guanzhong. Why did you change your mind now?"

"There is a Qiang king who is restrained by me on the Di people. I don't have to worry about it for a while. I can seize Guanzhong and then turn back to deal with the Di people. It's just that opportunity is not missed. Once Cao's army recovers its morale and the cavalry enters Guanzhong again, if you want to seize Guanzhong, then there will be no favorable conditions like today."

Jia Xu, Fa Zheng, Pang Tong and others looked at each other and they all felt Liu Jing's determination to seize Guanzhong. At this time, Fa Zheng said: "Wei Chen suggested that we should consider seizing Chen Cang first. This is the western gate of Guanzhong. Once the western gate is opened by us, we will take the initiative. At that time, we are discussing whether to directly capture the entire Guanzhong."

Huang Zhong nodded and smiled, "The French military advisor's suggestion makes sense. First test the facts of Cao's army. If the capture of Chen Cang is smooth, then we will directly attack Chang'an. If the capture of Chen Cang is not smooth, it will not be too late for us to make a long-term plan."

Zhao Yun also said: "I also support the French military advisor's plan."

Liu Jing pondered for a moment and finally agreed to this plan, "If you want to use the French military advisor's plan, send troops to attack Guanzhong, among which the west and south are mainly attacking Chen Cang."

...........

At night, Liu Jing was alone in front of the sand table to consider military deployment. At this time, Jia Xu's voice came from outside the tent, "Is the provincial governor resting?"

"Not yet, the state governor is probably considering military information."

"I'll report it to me and say I have something to ask for my opinion."

At this time, Liu Jing smiled in the tent and said, "The military advisor is not polite, please come in."

Jia Xu walked in with a smile. He changed into a loose green robe and a flat scarf, looking quite leisurely. He smiled and said, "Since the decision has been made, why should the provincial governor be so nervous? He will study military information tonight and take a break."

Liu Jing smiled bitterly, "Although I decided to attack Chen Cang, I was really unsure and I felt very conflicted."

Jia Xu smiled slightly, "I think this attack on Guanzhong will not hinder the overall situation regardless of the outcome. The key is that with Longxi, you can attack and retreat and defend. It is incomparable to our Northern Expedition, so I did not object in the end."

"The military advisor thinks how likely I will win this time I send troops to Guanzhong."

"This is hard to say, I think it's at most 50% sure."

Liu Jing was stunned, "Why is it only 50%?"

"The reason is very simple. Cao Cao has tens of thousands of troops in Xuchang. If the Nanyang army attacks Wuguan, what should Nanyang do? Xiangyang do? So the so-called east attack does not exist at all. As for the south, I went to Sanguan. Unless I attacked ten times the army, or a sneak attack at night, the Sanguan defenders fell asleep again, and there was still a little chance, otherwise the southern line would be meaningless."

"The military advisor means that only attacks on the western front, is that true?"

“Not exactly”

Jia Xu picked up the wooden pole and pointed to Longxian northwest of Chencang, and said, "We can also walk on Longshan Road. The key point of Longshan Road is Jieting. According to prisoners of war, there are five thousand Cao army guards there. I don't know how many of them are now. We can divide the troops into two, one to Jieting and the other to Weishui River Valley. If we can seize Jieting, we can directly enter Guanzhong from Jieting and disperse the defensive forces of Cao's army, which will be of great help to seize Guanzhong."

Liu Jing suddenly realized, "The military advisor means that he is going to the Wei River Valley, but in fact he is seizing Jieting."

Jia Xu narrowed his eyes and smiled, "So I'll let the provincial governor relax a little and don't do anything. In fact, as long as you seize Jieting, the initiative in Guanzhong will be in our hands. You can seize Guanzhong anytime. I suggest that you still not trigger it, and it will be able to restrain the Cao army in Guanzhong."

Liu Jing nodded silently, Jiang is still so hot

...........

Liu Jing couldn't sleep, so he walked out of the tent and walked slowly in the camp alone, but he was thinking about Jia Xu's plan in his mind, which made him sigh that it was because of Jia Xu that he could get to this day step by step.

Before he knew it, Liu Jing walked to the back tent, which was the place where Xun You was placed under house arrest. Tens of thousands of Cao's prisoners of war were sent back to Xiabian County for enlistment, but Xun You was left in the Han army camp.

"How is Mr. Xun?" Liu Jing asked a guard soldier with a smile.

"Sir, I'm very good, I'll listen to him playing the piano in the morning."

Liu Jing nodded, "Go and inform me and say I'll come to visit him."

The soldiers entered the tent and came out for a moment and said, "Mr. Xun asked the governor of the state to come in."

Liu Jing walked into the tent with his hands behind his back, and saw Xun You sitting on the couch reading a book. He bowed and smiled and said, "Sir, look good."

Xun You put down the book, bowed to Liu Jing, and smiled and said, "I have no thoughts, no worries, eat well, sleep well, and look good. Thank you for your concern."

He waved his hand and said, "The governor of the state is not feeling shabby, please sit down."

Liu Jing was not polite, so he sat down directly in the guest seat. Xun You also sat down. A soldier serving Xun You served tea. Xun You took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "I used to not drink tea, but later I gradually felt the beauty of tea and fell in love with tea. Here I am most satisfied with it is that I drank this year's new tea. I didn't have it before, and it was basically old tea."

Liu Jing smiled, "If the teacher likes it, I will send someone to send dozens of kilograms of new tea to the teacher every year in the future."

Xun You suddenly heard the profound meaning of Liu Jing's words and asked tentatively: "Does the Zhou Mu want to let me go?"

Liu Jing smiled faintly, "In fact, I will make my own choice for my husband. If my husband is willing to stay in Bashu, I welcome him very much. If I want to go back to Yedu, I will not stop him. Mr. decides for himself."

Xun You thought about it and asked again: "How did my uncle choose?"

Liu Jing knew that Xun You was referring to Xun Yu, and smiled and said, "Now Xun Lingjun was invited by his old friend Pang Degong to study the mystery in Lumen Academy. It has nothing to do with the government. He came and went freely, so I did not give him any choice."

Xun You pondered for a moment and said, "If I go back, will the provincial governor not worry that I will continue to be an enemy with the provincial governor and obstruct the Han army's plan for the eastern expedition?"

"I believe that sir will not, and Cao Cao will no longer use sir to lead the military. After all, I am the Han army and take it as my responsibility to revive the Han Han Dynasty. sir has already repaid Cao Cao's kindness in Longxi. I believe that sir will no longer obstruct the revival of the Han Dynasty for Cao Wei."

Xun You lowered his head and sighed slightly after a while, "Thank you for your tolerance in the Palace Master. I still chose to go back to Yedu. As for whether I will be enemies with the Palace Master again, I will not make any guarantee. Frankly speaking, I don't know either."
