Chapter 458 Jia Xu
At this time, in the late Eastern Han Dynasty
When Cao Cao heard what Lin Ke said, everyone was stunned for a long time. They never expected that Jia Xu, who looked like a scholar, was actually a ruthless strategist!
Fortunately, it was from their main camp; otherwise, it's hard to say whether it would have been a disaster or a disaster if they had faced each other!
Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief at this point; thankfully, it was Cao Mengde who had such cunning!
Liu Bei and his men were also shocked, never having imagined that Li Jue, Guo Si, and others had such a reason for their counterattack on Chang'an!
If they were to confront him, it's uncertain whether they would fall into his trap, but they do have a strategist on their side!
As for Sun Quan of Jiangdong, he was calculating how much of a chance he had of winning if he killed him!
However, Jia Xu, the person in question, had absolutely no desire to steal the limelight at this event!
If Lin Ke were to comment, she would definitely say he's truly the king of survival in this era! He preserved himself and successfully survived to the very end!
……
In the live broadcast room.
Lin Ke continued, "Jia Xu's plan has a higher chance of protecting himself, after all, Dong Zhuo and his people are all from the Liangzhou circle, but the influence he brings is not small."
"First of all, the Eastern Han court was already in chaos after Dong Zhuo's rule, but it recovered somewhat under Wang Yun's rule. Unfortunately, it didn't last long, and under the rule of Li Jue, Guo Si and others, it fell into hell again."
"It must be said that although Dong Zhuo did not govern very well and barely maintained the operation of the court, he was at least somewhat polite to the civil officials. But Li Jue, Guo Si and others were not polite to them, especially since they were busy fighting among themselves for power."
"In this Liangzhou group, in the past two or three years, perhaps only Jia Xu has been working diligently. When Li Jue, Guo Si and others offered him a high-ranking official position, Jia Xu declined, simply to protect himself."
"In historical records, it is said that when Jia Xu served as Minister, he did a good job. Li Jue, Guo Si and others listened to him. However, the policy of releasing troops used by these people easily caused chaos in Chang'an. The people could not eat, and these warlords would also rob the relief supplies that Emperor Xian of Han had given to the disaster victims."
"Even though Jia Xu mediated the internal strife, in 195 AD, Li Jue and Guo Si fought each other. Li Jue kidnapped the emperor and his palace servants, while Guo Si took the officials hostage. As a result, the city of Chang'an, including the palace, was engulfed in chaos."
"Jia Xu realized that if this thing continued to follow him, he might not even be able to save his life. So, on the one hand, he advised Li Jue not to coerce the emperor and kill ministers, and on the other hand, he contacted his subordinates to weaken his power. Jia Xu also resigned in that year."
"Jia Xu's second boss was Zhang Xiu of Wancheng, the same Zhang Xiu who implicated Cao Cao's eldest son and beloved general during that micro-management."
Zhang Fei: I remember, that traitor Cao Cao took a fancy to his aunt!
Da Ming Zhu Ba Ba: That time the losses were truly heavy. According to Miss Lin, was it also because of Jia Xu?
Cheng Yaojin of the Tang Dynasty: Who knew Cao Cao had such a taste?!
Boss Cao, you guys don't understand my aesthetic sense!
Yuan Shao of the Eastern Han Dynasty: ...It's all because of this that we suffered a huge setback. What's there to be so smug about?
Emperor Zhao Kuangyin of the Song Dynasty: I never thought of this. It's a bit outrageous, but Jia Xu is truly a master strategist. If it weren't for him, Li Jue and Guo Si would not have made their mark in history.
.......
Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly realized that if Li Jue and Guo Si had been allowed to escape, they might have remained nameless figures instead of being recorded in history. Jia Xu devised this plan to protect himself, but he never imagined the immense impact it would have on people at the time.
It even affected the political situation of the world. Thinking of this, people from other timelines shuddered. Those of them who were educated were quick-witted and extremely good at calculations!
Lin Ke in another live stream is still continuing:
"Zhang Xiu was not originally the master of Wancheng. Rather, it was because Zhang Ji, a former subordinate of Dong Zhuo, was killed in battle, that his nephew Zhang Xiu took over his troops."
"Until the second year of Jian'an, when Cao Cao arrived in Wancheng, the peace was broken. Because of Cao Cao's little hobby, Jia Xu gave him an idea."
"As the saying goes, the first to strike wins, the last to strike suffers. Zhang Xiu, taking advantage of his surrendered status, deployed his military forces and launched a surprise attack on Cao Cao's central army."
"If it weren't for Dian Wei's bravery and fighting prowess, Cao Cao would have been in real danger. Let's go over the whole process."
"First," Zhang Xiu requested Cao Cao's permission to move his army to higher ground.
"As a result, when he passed through Cao Cao's camp, he reported to Cao Cao that the army was short of vehicles, so he allowed the soldiers to wear their armor during the transfer."
"Jia Xu's deceptive strategies successfully misled Cao Cao, who had no suspicions. As a result, Zhang Xiu's troops, clad in armor, entered Cao Cao's camp."
"Thus, Cao Cao's army, caught in the ambush, held off Zhang Xiu's army's offensive for a long time thanks to Dian Wei's unstoppable force, with only a dozen or so soldiers."
"Thus, Cao Cao was able to escape. This battle was the Battle of Yu River. Judging from the outcome, Cao Cao suffered heavy losses, and this strategy was indeed executed by a minor warlord, Zhang Xiu."
"One has to admire the brilliance of Jia Xu's strategies!"
"And the consequences of this step were not limited to this. If Cao Ang had not died in battle, perhaps Cao Pi would not have been the one to inherit Cao Wei later."
"Under Cao Pi, Emperor Xian of Han was deposed, and the Eastern Han Dynasty was thus destroyed. However, given the chaos at the time, it seemed that whether or not the Eastern Han court was abolished, its existence was largely meaningless."
"Putting aside Emperor Xian's personal abilities, he was essentially a puppet ruler. However, among deposed emperors or rulers who lost their kingdoms, Liu Xie's ending can be considered relatively good!"
Liu Xiu, the Chosen One of the Great Han Dynasty: Miss Lin, that hurts!
Big Han Liu Zhuzhu: It can be considered a dignified end for Big Han!
Li Erfeng of the Tang Dynasty: Compared to the later emperors who lost their kingdoms, this is actually quite good, especially when compared with the Song Dynasty!
Emperor Zhao Kuangyin of the Song Dynasty: Unless absolutely necessary, the following sentence can be omitted!
Zhu Baba of the Ming Dynasty: Because of a woman, this series of consequences occurred. Lord Cao, you have suffered a huge loss!
Cao, the boss: ┐(′-｀)┌…
……
Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty
Zhu Yuanzhang put down the small light screen and said to Empress Ma, "Jia Xu truly deserves to be called the 'poisonous strategist' by later generations. With just one move from him, even Cao Cao suffered a great loss!"
Upon hearing this, Empress Ma smiled. She agreed. Even disregarding the fact that he was acting to protect himself, his ability to advise Cao Cao and devise strategies demonstrated his competence as a strategist.
After thinking for a moment, Empress Ma continued, "Chongba, the children went to study the excavators of later generations. I wonder how it went!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang slapped his thigh and laughed heartily: "Sister, you mean this? Biao'er already told us. Let's go for a drive together sometime!"
When Empress Ma heard this, she smiled.
