"Sir, we just came from there!" Ge Jun and Zhang Hu anxiously said to Jia Xu.
"No matter! Although Xuande Gong is not as tyrannical as Sun Ce and ruthless as Cao Gong, but Xuande Gong is still tolerant! " Jia Xu dispelled the two's apprehension. Liu Bei was a person who was hungry and thirsty for talent. As long as it was a talent, Liu Bei would want it. For people like Jia Xu, his need for people like Liu Bei had reached a certain level. Even if Jia Xu killed Liu Bei's son or sold Liu Bei's woman, perhaps even if Jia Xu killed Jia Xu's son or sold Jia Xu's woman, Liu Bei would still smile and be respectful to Jia Xu. This was also why even if Liu Bei failed again and again, there was still a group of people who were loyal to him.
Liu Mang was really anxious because he thought of Sun Ce and Cao Cao. He really did not think that this Jia Xu would pull Liu Bei, this shameless Liu Bei. Admittedly, Liu Bei's face was a bit thick, a bit shameless, and a bit hypocritical, but you cannot deny that Liu Bei can also be regarded as a wise master. Even Sun Qian, that kind of second-rate strategist, Liu Bei was respectful to Sun Qian, not to mention Jia Xu this kind of sly old fox.
If Jia Xu really submitted to Liu Bei, then Liu Mang really wanted to cry. The little fire chicken already made Liu Bei like a tiger with wings. If not for the many variables and Cao Cao's provision support, perhaps Yangzhou would really be taken over by the little fire chicken and his master Liu Bei.
Occupying Yangzhou and Yuzhou, and then encircling Lujiang, perhaps the Central Plains will really have a change of master. If the little fire chicken has such ability, then what about the old fox Jia Xu? Liu Mang did not dare to gamble, because if the gamble was lost, then it would be the lives of tens of thousands of officers and soldiers.
But now the Black Flag army and the Formation Breaker have not given a response.
"Let's go, let's go back to Nanyang!" Jia Xu turned his horse around and said indifferently.
"Jia Xu, please wait!" Liu Mang suddenly shouted at Jia Xu.
"What? Your Highness the King Of Shu really wants to reveal his true intentions!" Jia Xu coldly sneered.
"No, no!" If you want to hit a snake, you have to hit its weak point. If you want to confiscate its property, then it must be exterminated. If you want to cut the grass, then it must be removed from the roots. Otherwise, when the spring breeze blows, it will grow again. Not to mention, Jia Xu is a poisonous snake. Even if the grass grows again, it will only cover the ground. If this poisonous snake cannot be killed, then it will bite people to death. Therefore, Liu Mang did not have full confidence in fighting with Jia Xu. "Mr. Wen He, it is already late, why don't you rest here for a night?" Liu Mang asked with a smile. He wanted to delay time.
How could Jia Xu not see through his thoughts? He immediately sneered and said, "No, there is no need to trouble Your Highness the King Of Shu. We are from the border and are used to living in the open. In order to prevent any accidents from happening, we must hurry on with our journey!" Jia Xu said so much to Liu Mang. First, Liu Mang was a wise master. If he did not say anything, then it would be a waste of his hard work. Second, he was afraid of angering Liu Mang's army. The Xiliang Cavalry had just arrived at Shouchun. Liu Mang was stalling for time. Jia Xu was also doing the same. It could be said that the Xiliang Cavalry had reached their limit. They needed time to relieve their fatigue and recover their strength. If Liu Mang attacked from the beginning, then Jia Xu would not be able to escape. But now! Most of the Xiliang Cavalry had recovered their strength. It was time to leave.
"Me!" Liu Mang was about to hit his horse when Jia Xu waved his hand. Two Xiliang Cavalry nodded their heads and threw the arrows in their hands. The arrows landed beside Liu Mang's feet. This was obviously a warning. If Liu Mang took another step forward, he would not be so polite. "Your Highness the King Of Shu will not see you off!" Jia Xu said as he prepared to leave. The Xiliang Cavalry also began to leave.
"My Lord. You let Jia Xu leave just like that? " Liu Mang was about to order the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry to move out. However, Liu Mang could only bitterly smile and shake his head. If he really went forward and killed Jia Xu, it would be fine. If he could not kill him, then this hatred would be formed. Liu Mang believed that once Jia Xu joined Liu Bei's Army, his first target would be him. However, letting him leave was also a huge threat to Liu Mang's Army.
Originally, Yangzhou had Xu Shu and Liu Bei who could completely suppress Liu Bei. There was also Xu Shu who was about the same level as him and Liu Ye who was much better than Pang Tong. It could be said that Liu Mang was not afraid of Liu Bei making a comeback. However, if there was an old fox, then it would be hard to say. Unless Old Man Chen Gong also came to Yangzhou. However, Chen Gong still had to take care of Lujiang's matters and was unable to split himself. He also had to deal with Sun Ce from Jiangdong. This pressure was not small.
Liu Mang and Liu Ye could only bitterly smile helplessly. They had sent a top strategist and heavy cavalry to Liu Mang. When did Liu Mang become Liu Bei's lobbyist? He even excluded Sun Ce and Cao Cao from Jia Xu. If Liu Bei knew about this, he would definitely give Liu Mang the best lobbyist award!
"Milord, you are just afraid that if you can't kill Jia Xu, this Jia Xu will take revenge on you. However, if you let him go, he will be safe. He has already said that he wants to join Liu Bei. Now that the situation in the North is settled, Liu Bei will definitely fight with us for the position of the Overlord of the Central Plains. Jia Xu will become our enemy soon. What are you still worried about?" Liu Mang understood Liu Mang's words and comforted him.
"That's right!" Liu Mang thought about it. No matter if he was worried about Jia Xu, this snake would bite sooner or later. If he joined Liu Bei's Army, he would definitely become the enemy of the Lvbu's Army. Since this was going to happen sooner or later, there was no need to care about grudges. However, by the time Liu Mang reacted, a long time had already passed. The Xiliang Cavalry would definitely be several li away. It would be difficult to chase after them. Just as Liu Mang was feeling helpless and regretful, suddenly there was a burst of battle cries from afar.
"What's the situation?!" Liu Mang's face was full of vigilance. He had been in this world for so long and was already used to being vigilant at all times. "The entire army was on guard! No matter what, it was not wrong to be vigilant. All of the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry's battle swords were unsheathed. The warhorses also began to warm up.
"Kill, kill, kill!" Suddenly, a group of cavalrymen rushed out of the forest outside Shouchun. These cavalrymen were wearing heavy armor with red inner armor. Aren't they the Xiliang Cavalrymen who had just left? But why are they panicking now?
"Your Highness King Of Shu, we are willing to surrender! We are willing to surrender!" Just as Liu Mang did not know what was going on, a group of Xiliang Cavalry suddenly dismounted and dropped their weapons. They then knelt in front of Liu Mang.
"Huh?" Liu Mang's eyes widened. Liu Ye, who was beside him, was also staring at him. He had no idea what was going on.
Another group of cavalry rushed out from the forest. This group of cavalry was mixed with a carriage. In front of the carriage were several cavalrymen. The one leading the group was an old acquaintance of Liu Mang, the top strategist in the world, Jia Xu!
"Despicable, despicable and shameless!" Jia Xu looked at Liu Mang with a resentful expression.
"Despicable and shameless?" Liu Mang was stunned. This Jia Xu suddenly rushed out from the forest with shouts of killing behind him. Liu Mang still did not understand what was going on. Now that he was being called despicable and shameless, he was really wronged.
Looking at the shouts of killing, Zhang Liao and Wen Yuan pulled Liu Mang. "Little Lord, it should be Gao Shun's [Formation Breaker]!" That's right, the shouts of killing that Zhang Liao heard came from the [Formation Breaker]. Gao Shun's [Formation Breaker] and Xu Sheng's [Black Flag Army] went out from different gates but their destinations were different. They each had to guard two routes. The sky was dark and they could not use torches. They could only rely on the weak starlight. It was already a good thing that they did not get lost. Gao Shun did not have anything wrong but Xu Sheng was a little off. Although this was an exaggeration, Xu Sheng was still off by tens of li. He actually encountered Gao Shun's troops. If they did not raise their banners in advance, the two unknown troops would have started killing each other in the night.
Since Xu Sheng had gone the wrong way, it was already too late for him to go back. Although Gao Shun did not speak much, he knew military strategy and battle formations. After thinking it over, the two decided not to ambush. After all, although the [Formation Breaker] and the [Black Flag Army] had ten thousand people, they had to defend an area of hundreds of li. Instead, they took the initiative to attack. Yes! They took the initiative to attack and outflank the south gate of Shouchun. They gambled that the Xiliang Cavalry had not left yet. Sure enough, they made the right bet. They caught the Xiliang Cavalry on the way. The Xiliang Cavalry were all heavy cavalry. The sound of their galloping could be heard from several li away. Ten thousand heavy cavalry ambushed and outflanked the Xiliang Cavalry. The Xiliang Cavalry were all heavy cavalry. The sound of their galloping could be heard from several li away. Ten thousand heavy armored infantry ambushed and outflanked the Xiliang Cavalry. The Xiliang Cavalry were all heavy cavalry. The sound of their galloping could be heard from several li away. Therefore, the scene in front of them happened.
Jia Xu stared fixedly at Liu Mang. He had really underestimated the King Of Shu. He did not expect that he would ambush so many soldiers without anyone noticing. It was all for him and the Xiliang Cavalry. Jia Xu thought that Liu Mang was stalling for time to convince him. Who knew that he would not use his words and would directly finish him off.
"Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, get ready!" Seeing the resentful expression on Jia Xu's face, he directly shouted at the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry and the soldiers on the walls of Shouchun. He was afraid that Jia Xu would act out of desperation and fight to the death. One must know that Liu Mang had already left the main group. His personal guards quickly went forward to protect him. They were afraid that Jia Xu would lead the Xiliang Cavalry to attack and capture Liu Mang.
Just when the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry was in a state of panic, Jia Xu directly dismounted from his warhorse and straightforwardly knelt on the ground. "Jia Xu of Nanyang, together with his young master Zhang Lei and general Ge Jun Zhang Hu, surrender!"
