Jia Xu was completely convinced by Bai Xiaowen.
Both times, he had failed to surpass Bai Xiaowen. This was due to his awe in terms of intelligence.
He did not care about Jia Xu's thoughts and gave him an important task at a critical moment. This was his magnanimity.
Zhang Xiu asked, "If the Duke Of Yan wants to use you, he only needs to send an edict. Is there a deeper meaning behind this sword? "
Jia Xu said,
"There are two reasons. First of all, I was originally a fugitive, but I suddenly became an important minister under Duke Yan's command. I must have Duke Yan's token. Zhang Liao and Xu Huang, two generals, were Duke Cao's former subordinates; they recognized this Yitian Sword. Secondly, most of the generals in Hefei are old subordinates of the Duke Of Yan. I'm a new general, so it's inevitable that some people will not be convinced. "
Zhang Xiu understood and nodded, "That's why the Duke Of Yan wants you to hold this sword. It's like holding a battle-axe."
Jia Xu said, "With this sword, it's like borrowing the might of the Duke Of Yan. No one dares to be unconvinced. The Duke Of Yan thinks far and wide, so I have to admit that I'm impressed. "
Zhang Xiu suddenly laughed, "The Duke Of Yan has not seen you personally and has not verified your loyalty. Isn't it a little too rash to entrust such an important task to you? If you want to join Dong Yue Wu, wouldn't that be bad? "
Jia Xu laughed, "General, you don't understand the Duke Of Yan, but don't you understand me? From what I've seen, the Duke Of Yan, Cao Cao, and I are the same type of people. Although the Duke Of Yan has entrusted me with the sword, I'm sure there will be a backup plan. General, why do you think that female general Qiao, as a trusted aide of the Duke Of Yan, came to Hefei with him? "
Zhang Xiu was enlightened and nodded.
… …
Bai Xiaowen still ordered Zhang He to stand guard in Nanzheng. In addition, he sent more scouts to Chuanzhong to scout for information. He himself spent his days reading the Heavenly Book.
Li Shuyi and the other teammates felt uneasy after listening to Bai Xiaowen's arrangement in the box.
Li Shuyi said, "Jia Xu is not a loyal minister. Is it appropriate for you to give him the power of Hefei?"
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said, "Jia Xu is not loyal to anyone. He only wants to protect himself. However, he still had a bottom line. For example, when he was following Zhang Xiu, he had once rejected Cao Cao's recruitment, saying that Zhang Xiu listened to his advice and could not bear to abandon him. Taking a step back, even if he doesn't have this bottom line, I can still use him in the battle of Hefei without worry. "
After pausing for a moment, Bai Xiaowen explained.
"First, I defeated Ma Chao, and then I defeated Zhang Lu. These two battles have allowed Jia Xu to see my strategy clearly. In addition, I have already occupied the Central Plains, and my forces are the strongest in the world! With Jia Xu's character of protecting himself, he can only choose my camp. He will not abandon his position and seek refuge with Sun Wu.
"This time, I sent Sister Qiao with me mainly to check if there are any Awakened spies in Hefei. After all, we are facing Sun Ce of Jiangdong, and he has top-level Awakened under his command.
"Just in case, I also gave Sister Qiao a handwritten edict. If Jia Xu is really unreliable, it will be enough to counterattack. "
Suddenly, Bai Xiaowen received a notification from the Spiritual Realm.
"Absolute Strategy Poison Warrior Jia Xu has chosen you as the Sovereign Assistant. Jia Xu's special skill: Absolute Strategy has taken effect. "
"Absolute Strategy: Passive. When using strategies of alienation, bribery, sneak attack, or ambush, the success rate is increased by 25%. When the above strategy is successful, the chance of capturing (killing) the enemy leader is increased by an additional 25%. This effect will only take effect when Jia Xu's loyalty is higher than 80 points. "
After receiving this message, Bai Xiaowen shook his head and shared the information with his teammates.
Li Shuyi said, "Jia Xu is a rare leader. I thought it would be a Lord like Xun Yu. What does this increase the success rate of the strategy mean? "
Bai Xiaowen said, "There are two ways to understand it. First, it's purely a lucky increase in the success rate. For example, we used an ambush and the enemy's scouts didn't detect it. Second, it's the 'Intelligence Reduction Halo'. When using these tricks on the enemy, the enemy's IQ will automatically decrease by 25% … "
Li Shuyi shook his head and said, "The second possibility is too ridiculous. I prefer the first one."
Bai Xiaowen said with a smile, "No matter which one it is, Jia Xu's bonus is enough. It's much more practical than adding a few points to my attributes."
Sowing discord, bribing, sneak attack, ambush, these were all commonly used tactics of surprise troops, which happened to complement Xun You's wonderful strategy.
Bai Xiaowen was now the Duke of Yan, and there were fewer and fewer opportunities for him to personally fight on the battlefield. Adding a few points to his attributes was not as reliable as increasing his Charm, Luck, and success rate of the strategy.
It was normal that Jia Xu was not a Lord. It was mainly because of his popularity.
On the other hand, Jia Xu was not a King's Strategist. He walked the crooked path, so his evaluation in the Spirit Realm's Three Kingdoms was definitely lower than Xun Yu's.
Bai Xiaowen suddenly slapped the table and said, "That's not right. Zhang Xiu should have just left Wuguan and is far from Hefei! Jia Xu is loyal to me now, so he definitely didn't listen to my orders and opened the box in advance! This son of a bitch … "
Li Shuyi said, "… Come on."
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said, "We don't have anything else to do for the time being. Why don't we go back to our old job as Awakened and sneak into Xichuan to witness the battle between Liu Bei and Liu Bei? It's also good to recognize the generals under Liu Bei. Otherwise, we won't be able to find the geographical map in the future."
In fact, Bai Xiaowen had already met Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun. However, he had not met Pang Tong and the newly recruited Huang Zhong and Wei Yan.
"Okay, I'll go with you," Li Shuyi said.
Cecilia and Han Xu were also a little tempted, but they were ruthlessly rejected. The reason was simple. Bai Xiaowen still needed the two of them to cover their tracks so that Zhang He would not find out that the Duke of Yan was missing. That would be troublesome.
If there was any military intelligence, they could report it to Cecilia first and contact her through Raven Messenger.
…
After Liu Bei took Fushui Pass, he went straight into Luocheng and aimed his army at Luocheng.
After Liu Bei and the other generals had a discussion, they decided to leave Liu Bei and Zhang Ren to defend the city while Ling Bao and Deng Xian led their troops forward. They each set up a barracks and formed a corner around each other to stop Liu Bei.
Huang Zhong and Wei Yan were eager to make a contribution, so they almost went all out. Therefore, Liu Bei sent the two generals to lead an army and attack the two barracks.
Although there were some twists and turns in the process, the final result was that they took the two barracks, killed Deng Xian, and captured Ling Bao alive.
Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi witnessed the entire process with their own eyes. Unfortunately, the two of them did not have the chance to sneak attack Huang Zhong and Wei Yan. These two Lord-class generals were very resistant to attacks, not to mention their trusted subordinates and subordinates.
Liu Bei was used to using benevolent methods. He immediately ordered Ling Bao to release her and then advanced towards Luocheng.
