Looking at Zhang Xiu's rather solemn eyes, a trace of surprise flashed in the corner of Jia Xu's eyes. He thought, When did the martial artist Zhang Xiu have such a brain? He actually wanted Cao Cao to attack him after he proposed to be affiliated with Liu Biao?
It's not simple. Could it be that there's an expert helping him?
One had to know that before this, whether it was Zhang Ji or Zhang Xiu, they were both obedient to him. Now, they actually had doubts in their hearts.
Of course, he did want to rely on Zhang Xiu to rely on Cao Cao. Zhang Xiu was Cao Cao's hinterland. If he could persuade him to surrender, it would definitely be a great achievement. It would be like climbing up step by step.
As for Zhang Xiu, what did his life and death have to do with him?
A fierce look flashed across his eyes. Jia Xu pretended to be puzzled and said,"What do you think, General?"
"Wenhe, what do you think of Jing State?”Zhang Xiu suddenly said.
"Jing state?"
Jia Xu was stunned for a moment, but immediately heaved a sigh of relief instead. The nine counties of Jing and Xiang had long been occupied by the big families of Jing and Xiang. Even Liu Biao, a relative of the imperial family, could only borrow strength to fight. How could a mere warrior of Xi Liang touch Jing and Xiang?
(Note: Jingzhou is actually eight counties. Zhangling County was divided from Nanyang at the end of the Han Dynasty, so it was collectively called Nanyang.)
" General, Jingzhou is naturally excellent. The nine prefectures of Jing and Xiang are fertile and rich. It would be best if we could gain a foothold. However, Liu Biao of Jingzhou has 100,000 soldiers…"
Jia Xu did not point it out and looked up at Zhang Xiu.
"Haha, Wen He, don't be suspicious. Xiu was just asking casually.”
Zhang Xiu laughed heartily and turned to say,"By the way, Wenhe, I'll have to trouble you with the negotiation with Liu Biao."”
"General, this is my duty.”Jia Xu lowered his head and cupped his hands, but his understanding of Zhang Xiu had already changed.
"Alright, everyone can leave first." Zhang Xiu waved his hand and said in a deep voice as he turned around,"Hu Che 'er, stay behind."
When everyone left, Hu Che 'er cupped his fists and said,""My lord, what is it?"
"How about we gather the soldiers? How much rations do we have left?" Zhang Xiu asked in a deep voice.
Food and people were the key in a chaotic world. Since he had come here, he had to make plans. At the very least, he could not just sit around and wait for death.
Hearing this, Hu Che 'er was rather dejected. He lowered his head and lamented,""My lord, the warriors of Western Liang have either died or scattered. There are less than eight thousand of them, and only a thousand warhorses. As for the rations, I'm afraid they can only last for five days at most. If this continues, I'm afraid…"
"Less than 8,000?"
Zhang Xiu was stunned. Although he was familiar with the historical trajectory, he did not know how many people there were in each period of time. It was no wonder that Zhang Xiu had surrendered. How could eight thousand men resist Cao Cao?
"Alright, I understand. Go down and tell them to keep their spirits up. The military rations will arrive in a few days.”
After saying that, Zhang Xiu left.
Sigh, what a headache. This Western Liang army was completely poor. The only thing that caught his attention were the thousand warhorses.
Nanyang was located on a plain, and these thousand warhorses were enough for him to be self-sufficient.
However, a thousand warhorses were not enough to fight against Cao Cao, and Cao Cao's army would arrive next spring. He had to do something during this period, or history would repeat itself.
As they walked, the backyard of the county government was dilapidated. The county magistrate had long died in the war. There were only a few hundred households in the city, and they were all starving and living miserably.
Returning to his bedroom, Zhang Xiu had mixed feelings.
He sighed. The Three Kingdoms was not as simple as it was written in novels. Putting everything else aside, just Jia Xu alone was hard to control, so how could he compete with Cao Cao and Liu Bei?
Moreover, this group of people had many talented subordinates. Even the weakest Liu Bei had Guan and Zhang under him. And his subordinates were quiet in literature and martial arts, the only one Jia Xu still hid his selfishness.
Damn it, this was simply hell mode!
But then again, where was the System that was the standard for transmigration novels? He didn't f * cking use a cheat and hoped to dominate the world with his face? It would probably be difficult for him to survive.
"Damn system, are you there?"
"Ding…Blind Chicken Show System is being activated.”
"Ding! Blind Chicken Chaotic Show System has been successfully bound. It will help the host to sleep on the knees of a beauty, wake up and control the world, show off thousands of heroes, and become a show emperor.”
Zhang Xiu: "???"
He was just joking, but there really was one.
Awesome!
"Well, the system usually has a novice gift bag, right? Is it a rocket launcher, a Barrett, an AK47, or a 98K?”
Zhang Xiu smacked his lips in anticipation.
The System: "???"
"Ding, in view of the fact that the host is about to die, we will make an exception and give you a novice gift bag.”
Ding!" The big gift bag has been issued. Refined grain x2000 stones, primary seed grain x1000 stones, Tiger Head Ao Golden Spear x1, warhorse x500, Heavenly Xiu Points x500, Four-dimensional attribute detection ability activated.”
"Ding! Fame function has been activated, Martial Merit function has been activated, Basic Merchant Shop has been activated, and Heavenly Wheel has been activated.”
"Ding! Drunken Beauty's Leg mission has been sent. The mission duration is seven days. The mission content is to win the heart of Madam Zou. The mission reward is 500 Heavenly Elegance Points, 3 Great Recovery Pills, and 1 Golden Silk Soft Armor.”
Zhang Xiu: "???"
Zou Corporation? This was simply nonsense. How could someone as lecherous and righteous as him do such a thing? Absolutely impossible, absolutely impossible!
"Um, um, System Bro, isn't the reward a little too little for something as big as winning Zou shi's heart?”Zhang Xiu touched the tip of his nose and said shamelessly.
"Ding! In view of the fact that the host is too shameless, the completion of the mission will be rewarded with an additional top-grade divine chariot.”
"Ding! Reputation points are the recognition of the people under the host's rule. The more people under the host's rule, the higher the recognition of the host, and the higher the reputation points obtained.”
Ding!" Martial Merit Points are related to the number of enemies killed and the territory occupied by the army under the host's rule. The more enemies killed and the larger the territory, the more Martial Merit Points obtained.”
"Ding, reputation points and martial merit points can be used to exchange for items in the system store. The items are limited to military equipment and rations.”
Ding!" The host can obtain Heavenly Elegance Points after completing the mission. The Heavenly Elegance Points can be used for the lucky draw. The host can check the contents of the prize by himself.”
"Ding! If the host fails to complete the mission within the time limit, Jiji will be shortened by three inches.”
Zhang Xiu was stunned. F * ck your grandpa, how could it be used if it shrunk three inches? He could only freeload!
Ding!" Currently, the host has 0 reputation points, 0 martial merit points, and 500 Tianxiu points. The host should expand his territory as soon as possible and complete the system mission to become an emperor.”
Zhang Xiu did not bother with the trashy system. Instead, he focused on the system store. There were only weapons, food, and the like.
On the other side, the item that consumed Heavenly Elegance Points was a spinning wheel. Each spin required 100 Heavenly Elegance Points. However, the items on the spinning wheel made Zhang Xiu's eyes light up, because there were actually many things from the future.
