On the way again, Lin Chuan's speed was not as fast as before. This was to take care of Jia Xu's body. After all, he was a scholar and could not afford to travel too much.
"Sir, I heard that the main force of the Yellow Turban army is stationed outside Changshe, with a total of 100,000 people. Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song, and Zhu Xi, who were sent by the Imperial Court, have suffered successive defeats. Now, they only have eight thousand men to defend Changshe. In your opinion, what are our chances of winning this battle?”
After slowing down, Zhao Yun seemed a little bored and took the initiative to talk to Jia Xu.
Actually, it was also because he saw that Lin Chuan thought so highly of Jia Xu and wanted to test if he really had talent or if the lord had misjudged him.
"Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song are both experts in using troops. The reason why they were defeated by the Yellow Turban bandits was partly because of the disparity in strength, but also because the morale of the rebel army was high at this time.
However, in the end, the Yellow Turban Army was just a bunch of motley crew with an empty reputation. Moreover, the disadvantage of having too many people was that once there were too many people, the amount of rations consumed would naturally increase. The Yellow Turban Army's supplies were completely dependent on looting on the spot, so Zhang Jiao was bound to lose the siege of Changshe.”
After Jia Xu finished speaking, Pei Yuanqing scratched his head and muttered, What did this have to do with what Zilong was asking?
Zhao Yun, on the other hand, was carefully savoring Jia Xu's words. After a long time, she nodded in agreement.
Only Lin Chuan knew that Jia Xu's words hit the lifeline of the Battle of Changshe. In the history of the Battle of Changshe, it was precisely because the Yellow Turban Army did not understand the art of war that they fell into Huangfu Song's fire attack.
Just based on this point, one could still see that Jia Xu's vision was far-sighted.
In the past, whenever he talked about this, Dong Zhuo would always say that Jia Xu was a good talker and useless. However, Lin Chuan showed a kind of appreciation, so Jia Xu rode up to Lin Chuan and continued,
"My lord, not only will Zhang Jiao lose the Battle of Changshe, he will also lose the Yellow Turban Uprising. And just as I expected, not only will he lose, he will lose very quickly.”
"Really? These Yellow Turban thieves were said to have millions of people. Even if you ate a million steamed buns in a year, you wouldn't be able to finish them.”
Obviously, Pei Yuanqing could not believe Jia Xu's words. In his opinion, unless there were a few more people like Lin Chuan and a few more killing machines like the Eighteen Horsemen of Yanyun, it would be impossible.
In the eyes of Pei Yuanqing and Zhao Yun, Jia Xu's words were somewhat exaggerated, but Lin Chuan clearly knew that the Yellow Turban Rebellion had indeed ended in less than a year.
The more it was so, the more Lin Chuan wanted to know how Jia Xu could make such an accurate judgment, even calculating the timing.
"Not only that, from what I can see, the Central Plains is very likely to enter a war that will last for decades or even a hundred years. This is also why I hope to join the lord.”
Jia Xu appeared to be worried, feeling a little uneasy about the future.
Pei Yuanqing and Zhao Yun looked at each other, feeling that Jia Xu was getting more and more ridiculous. The current Great Han was still very powerful, so how could it enter decades of war in an instant?
Lin Chuan secretly admired Jia Xu's vicious vision. It seemed that he was called a Poison Warrior not only because of his insidious schemes, but also because of his vicious vision.
At the same time, Lin Chuan was certain that the position of military advisor would be his in the future. The more stunning Jia Xu's talent was, the more excited Lin Chuan would be.
"My lord, do you think what Wenhe said is true?”
Compared to Pei Yuanqing, Zhao Yun was a good child who loved to study. This could be seen from her high intelligence.
"Ha, that's true." Lin Chuan smiled and continued,"
"Liu Hong has eunuchs who disrupt the government and powerful ministers who cause trouble outside. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he gave the right to recruit soldiers to the various vassals. Any of the above could cause a dynasty to collapse, but Liu Hong happened to encounter them.
Just you wait and see. In order to expand their power, the various dukes will definitely do their best to eliminate the Yellow Turban bandits and expand their armies at the same time. At that time, the situation will not be under Liu Hong's control.”
After hearing Lin Chuan's words, Jia Xu bowed deeply to the former.
"Why is Wen He doing this?"
Lin Chuan looked at Jia Xu somewhat inexplicably, his eyes carrying a hint of ambiguity. Could it be that this guy had a fetish for the dragon sun?
"My lord, please don't blame me. I feel lucky for myself.
I thought that since you were able to defeat 50,000 enemies with just 1,000 cavalry, you should be an invincible hero like Xiang Yu.
I didn't expect my lord to have such far-reaching knowledge. It's really a lifetime's fortune to be able to display Xu's ambition.”
It seemed that Jia Xu had indeed been sullen for too long. After meeting Zhiyin, he was extremely excited.
Zhao Yun was carefully pondering over the conversation between this master and servant. From time to time, he would also consult Jia Xu for some military insights. It seemed that in his heart, he was also convinced by Jia Xu.
Pei Yuanqing, on the other hand, was getting impatient and started drinking. In terms of personality, he was quite similar to Zhang Fei.
In reality, Pei Yuanqing was indeed brave but not resourceful. Otherwise, he would not have let others lure him into the Thunder Fire Array so easily. Of course, that was his predecessor. Under his command, such a thing would definitely not happen again.
"Hey, you only know how to drink. Didn't you hear the military counselor and the lord say that you have to have foresight? I don't think you're far-sighted enough."
Lin Chuan was stunned for a while. Was there a time when this Zhao Yun was so mischievous? In this case, other than Lin Chuan, only Zhao Yun Gang would speak to Pei Yuanqing like this in the entire military camp.
"I say, why are you worrying about it? What, you, Zhao Zilong, have suddenly become Mr. Zhao?
We'll attack wherever the lord points. Why are we talking about irrelevant things?”
"Haha…"
Pei Yuanqing's words caused everyone to burst into laughter. Thinking about it carefully, it really made sense.
While everyone was bickering, they had unknowingly arrived outside Changshe City. There was not a single flag on the city gate, but the city gate was tightly closed.
"My lord, it seems like Lu Zhi's forces are in a tight spot, and he's trying to scare Zhang Jiao.”
Jia Xu looked at the bare city pass and said with a smile.
Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song were indeed experts in using troops.
Of course, this kind of trick could fool Zhang Jiao and the others, but if he really encountered an expert like Jia Xu, it would be considered showing off his skills in front of an expert.
"Let's go into the city and see what's going on inside.”
