Bai Xiaowen looked at the Jingzhou gentry who came to meet him and said with a smile, "there are so many talents in Jingzhou." he immediately ordered that fifteen people, including Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue and Han song, be granted marquis in the pass.


    Jingzhou gentry thanked one after another, surrounded by Bai Xiaowen''s six Golden cars, and entered Xiangyang City.


    Xun you asked, "Jingzhou gentry have no merit of an inch. Why did the king suddenly grant a reward?"


    Bai Xiaowen replied with a smile, "is Gu the one who doesn''t know how to reward and punish? The purpose of rewarding Jingzhou gentry is to buy horse bones and shake the aspirations of Jiangdong gentry. When Jiangdong gentry see Jingzhou gentry being granted, they will actively contribute, submit to the court and no longer go against sun CE."


    Xun you showed his sincere admiration and said, "the king has insight into the hearts of the people, and the holy candle shines."


    Bai Xiaowen skimmed his mouth without trace. It''s fake. It''s too fake. Xun you, Xun you, I didn''t expect you to have thick eyebrows and big eyes. You''ve learned this too.


    Joking is joking. In fact, Xun you must know the reason why Bai Xiaowen awarded Jingzhou gentry.


    The reason why he pretended not to know and asked, on the one hand, can solve the doubts and dissatisfaction in the hearts of civil and military officials under Bai Xiaowen''s Department, on the other hand, is to flatter the king of Yan.


    After sitting down in Jingzhou''s assassin''s residence, Bai Xiaowen received a report that the garrison in Hefei was 30000 and had arrived in Xiangyang to join the yanwang army.


    Jia Xu, Zhang Xiu, Zhang Liao and Xu Huang led the army. As for Cao Ren, he led the remaining 30000 troops to guard the city of Anhui and rebuild Hefei new city at the same time.


    Such distribution is also Bai Xiaowen''s inspiration.


    If we say that he knows people and makes good use of them, Bai Xiaowen is only stronger than the major monarchs of the Three Kingdoms.


    Jia Xu led the three generals to bow down and hold the long box in his hand: "Jia Xu is lucky to live up to his life. He specially returned the sword ordered by the king."


    Bai Xiaowen met Jia Xu for the first time. He went down the stairs himself, took Jia Xu''s hand and said with a smile, "it''s better to be alone with Jia Wenhe than 100000 soldiers."


    Jia Xu seemed a little unfit to be the focus of the public. He shrank back and said with a forced smile, "Your Majesty is serious."


    Seeing that Jia Xu didn''t adapt, Bai Xiaowen stopped demanding. He took the sword box of Yitian sword and ordered Zhang Xiu and others to get up and watch the table.


    When the sub master and his subordinates sat down, Bai Xiaowen said, "if you resist sun CE, you can rest assured that you can collect Erchuan, otherwise Xichuan will be occupied by Liu Bei and Hanzhong will not be protected. Qing and others should be rewarded for their hard work and high achievements."


    How to seal the reward has been agreed as early as yedU.


    Jia Xu was granted the title of imperial servant, which was one of the nine Qing''s, and was one level higher than his "Zhijin Wu" under Cao Cao.


    Zhang Xiu was promoted to Zhendong general, Zhang Liao and Xu Huang were Pingnan and Pingdong generals respectively, and Cao Ren, who guarded the city of Anhui, also had an envoy go with Bai Xiaowen''s imperial edict to be granted Zhennan general. There is no need to mention other gold, silver, silk and silk.


    Everyone thanked him.


    Jia Xu said with a smile, "the king must have the heart to go down to the south of the Yangtze River."


    Bai Xiaowen nodded and said, "that''s nature. All directions are fixed. Only the south of the Yangtze River is not flat. How can others sleep on the side of the couch? I''ve decided on the basic strategy."


    Bai Xiaowen ordered people to beat drums, gather large and small generals and arrange them under the hall.


    "Zhang Ying and Jia Xu listen to the order!"


    Both of them were slightly stunned, and then hurried out of the line.


    "Zhang Ying is the main general and Jia Xu is the military division. He leads 20000 Sichuan troops to Lingling and pretends to attack Luling!"


    Although Zhang Ying had some doubts, he accepted the order with awe.


    When checking the soldiers and horses, Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu said respectively: "Congratulations, sir. You have been so valued by the king of Yan and granted the position of Jiuqing by Jin. However, why can you see the meaning of going to the south of the Yangtze River from the official appointment of the king of Yan?"


    Jia Xu said, "there are two reasons. First, King Yan sent 100000 troops to the south. It would be too much of a fuss if he was only for the four counties of Jingzhou. Second, the general positions granted by King Yan are ''Pingdong'' and ''Pingnan'', which can see his intention."


    Zhang Xiu nodded and said, "Sir, you are in high spirits today. It seems very different from hiding your power and biding your time under Cao Cao."


    Jia Xu said with a smile, "only with such a wise lord can I dare to show my strengths."


    After looking around, Jia Xu whispered to Zhang Xiu, "the king of Yan is the first-class wise man himself, and his strategy is better than Cao Cao. Our counselors are trying hard to think and come up with ideas. It''s hard to see the back of the king of Yan, so why hide our power and bide our time?"


    While they were talking, they suddenly heard Zhang Ying''s voice: "servant, I have checked the army and horse baggage. The military situation is urgent. You''d better go south quickly."


    Jia Xu promised.


    Zhang Xiu said: "Mr. Zhang Ying is general Zhang Ying''s staff. I don''t know whether he agrees or not. Will he listen to Mr. Zhang''s words like me?"


    Jia Xu said with a smile, "you can think of it. The king of Yan can''t think of it. Zhang Ying is also a good general. He calms down the bandits in Bingzhou and takes over the defense of Jingzhou. He behaves appropriately and moves forward and backward properly. I use the time to explain the reason. Zhang Ying must be able to understand."


    After a pause, Jia Xu said again, "if Zhang Ying doesn''t use my plan, I''ll be silent. Anyway, it''s a feint. With Zhang Ying''s ability, I won''t encounter a big defeat. Now I''m one of the nine Qing Dynasties, and I don''t have to make achievements and win wealth."


    ……


    Bai Xiaowen personally led the main force of the army to 100000 and lied to 300000 to enter Jiangxia.


    Wei Yan asked to be a pioneer. Bai Xiaowen granted him 10000 troops.


    Wei Yan''s vanguard army came to Jiangxia City, set up a ladder, a stone catapult and a cannon to attack the city.


    In Jiangxia City, Lu Su and LV Meng fought desperately to defend, but there were few soldiers. The main force of the army was used by sun CE in the battle of Hefei. At present, they are stationed in Jiangdong for rest.


    In addition, Bai Xiaowen''s role in sealing off the gentry in Jingzhou is reflected. The gentry people in Jiangxia city do not return to the army in Jiangdong.


    Lu Su and LV Meng discussed.


    Lu Su said, "there is a shortage of food and grass in the city, and the soldiers are weak. Jiangxia city can''t be defended."


    LV Meng said, "fortunately, Wei Yan has few troops and horses. According to my estimation, he can stick to it for half a month."


    Lu Su shook his head and said:


    "Wei Yan is not afraid, but Yuan Xi''s 300000 troops will come in a few days. When Jiangxia is surrounded, not only will the city be lost, but you and I will become prisoners, and these 3000 troops will be captured and killed by Yuan Jun."


    LV Meng said, "we are entrusted by our Lord to guard the four counties of Jiangxia. These four counties are the result of our bloody struggle. It''s a pity to abandon them."


    Lu Su said, "if you save people and lose land, both people and land will be saved; if you save land and lose people, both people and land will be lost. The four counties of Jiangxia hang out alone, separated by the vast river from the foundation of our army. They can''t stick to it, but they have to give up."


    After listening to Lu Su''s words, LV Meng hugged his fist and said, "listening to your words is like being enlightened. Someone led the army to break through from the south gate and cross the river to the south."


    The two had decided, so they opened the south gate at night and broke out. Wei Yan was unprepared. He was overjoyed to see the soldiers of Jiangxia City fleeing. He waved his army straight into the city, occupied the city and sent people to win the victory of King Yan''s army.
