Valkyrie Returns

Chapter 51

When Qin Jiu brought Xiao Wu back to the courtyard, the composure he had pretended in front of outsiders finally collapsed.With trembling hands, he put Xiao Wu's body on the bamboo mat in front of the window tremblingly.At this time, Xiao Wu had no breath, and his face was pale.Only the slightly beating pulse can prove that he still has a breath of life.

Qin Jiu followed the small five meridian carefully and infused a little zhenqi into it.The internal force of the Wuhui Palace is mild and changeable, and it circulates thinly for a week without even the slightest blockage, obviously not suffering from internal injuries.He remembered that the strange poison on his body that day was also solved by Xiu Yuan.He didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly wrote a letter to convey the news.

When Xiuyuan received the news, the first drizzle in early spring had just fallen in Xiliang City.He and Jia Xu were sitting opposite each other in the corridor playing chess, while Lu Bu half-lyed on the tree trunk facing them with his eyes closed to rest his mind, Zhao Yun's voice of training soldiers could be faintly heard from the school field in the front hall. "The news this time is very embarrassing for the military division," Jia Xu saw that Xiu Yuan's mind had not been set on the chessboard, so he simply dropped the chess piece and asked a question.

Xiuyuan shook his head lightly, but still expressed his worries, "Guo Jia left a plan saying that Xiliang had to recuperate for three years before he could fight Cao Wei, so something happened in less than two years. I don't know Mr. What plans does Xiliang City have in the future?"

Xiuyuan's sudden question was a bit inexplicable, and Jia Xu thought for a while before he understood: "Could it be that the military master has seen some secret again?" Xiuyuan didn't bother to hide it, anyway, he doesn't belong to this era, no matter how much he asks, he won't be afraid of shame: "I'm afraid that within half a year, Cao Cao will send his army south and point directly at Jiangdong. I wonder how Mr. Jia wants Xiliang to deal with it?"

"There is no need to worry about this matter. Wouldn't it be better for us to sit back and watch the fire from the other side?" Cao Cao's ambition is well known, and Jia Xu is not surprised by it.

"What if Cao Cao occupied Jiangdong and came back to attack Xiliang?"

"Although Cao Wei's army claims to have a million soldiers, it is actually less than eighty. What's more, they dare not dispatch all the troops from Hefei and Taiyuan. It is not easy to completely annex Jiangdong without Guo Jia. The Yangtze River is naturally dangerous. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If they win by luck and greedily chase across the Yangtze River, we will raid from the rear and disturb Cao Wei's main formation, and seize a city and a half. The journey is far away and wait for them to return to defense. No loss. If they lose, they will certainly not have the strength to attack Xiliang again, we can also take this opportunity to accumulate more strength, and Xiliang will be invincible if it stops quietly."

"Sir, if you are so negative, you never thought of helping Lord Hou rule the world?" Jia Xu's analysis made Xiu Yuan feel that it was ridiculous that he had been entangled in the Battle of Chibi for so long, and this question really hurt his heart. .

But who is Jia Xu, he just flicked his sleeves in a slow manner and then fought back neatly: "The military division's words are too much. Since the military division has the ability to predict the future, it is natural to have concerns. If the world is destined not to belong to Lord Hou, the plan will be successful. No matter how good it is, the military division should understand better than Wen He."

Xiu Yuan didn't know what to say after being choked by Jia Xu, so he had to change the subject hastily: "Now Tao Qian handed over Xuzhou to Liu Bei, and Liu Biao, the prefect of Jingzhou, was originally the clan of the Liu family. The position is embarrassing, you will be involved, and the destruction will only happen in an instant, the lips will be cold, and the east of the river will be in danger when Liu Bei dies, how can Xiliang stay out of it at that time."

No matter how powerful Jia Xu is, he will not understand the general trend better than Xiu Yuan who has read the history of the Three Kingdoms beforehand.After hearing Xiuyuan's words, Dang even laughed out loud: "Since the military master can even predict things so far away, I think I, Xiliang, can rest easy?"

"Mr. Jia was joking. He took a step back and said that Cao Mengde just doesn't want it. Before taking Jiangdong, attack Xiliang first, and Xiliang will be destroyed. It has been more than a year since Zhang Jaw retreated. If Cao Wei's army came back, how should we respond?"

"Isn't Guo Fengxiao still in Jiangdong? We just need to spread this news to Xudu. Regardless of whether it is true or not, Cao Mengde will definitely hesitate. What's more, didn't Liu Yuzhou win Xu Shu and Kong Ming's two advisers? I'm afraid Cao Mengde wants to break through Jingzhou is not so easy. Liu Bei's embarrassing position is a thorn in the throat of Cao Wei and Jiangdong, as for the Xiliang frontier, I am afraid that it is not worthy of attention for the time being."

"Is this news from the ghost face camp? Xu Shu has returned to Xuzhou with Liu Bei?"

"Of course it is absolutely true. Xu Shu's 80-year-old mother was forced to death by Cao Cao in Xudu, but everyone knows it. If Liu Bei takes the opportunity to help him take revenge as a bait, Xu Shu will never refuse. What's more, Jingzhou It is the throat of the world, and it may be difficult for Liu Biao to defend it. If it is not what I expected, Jingzhou City may have already belonged to Liu Bei. Others don’t know, but I don’t know? The old man of Zhuge Kongming, in Jingzhou is a rare and famous family, even if it is going to turn the world upside down, it will not be difficult."

"Since Guo Jia left Cao Ying, Cao Mengde's behavior has indeed become more extreme than before. It is not impossible to kill Xu's mother in a fit of anger. It's just why Soochow didn't take Jingzhou for a long time? Instead, Liu Bei took advantage of it for nothing. , have a firm foundation?" It is obvious that the current situation is far from the history of the Three Kingdoms that Xiu Yuan is familiar with.Perhaps since he conquered Jia Xu in Luoyang, there has been a terrifying butterfly effect in this time and space, and he can never go back to the past.

"It's not that Zhou Yu doesn't want this piece of fat, it's just that he doesn't want to talk about it. Liu Bei's ability to capture Jingzhou without a single soldier is inseparable from Huang Chengyan, an old guy who has managed for many years. What's more, Liu Bei's foundation is not stable, even if Jingzhou This is the target of public criticism, and I have to do it.

Conversely, if Zhou Yu sent troops to capture Jingzhou, Cao Cao would definitely take action.In fact, the existence of Liu Bei's forces is very subtle to the current situation of Cao Wei and Soochow.Cao Cao's behavior has become more arbitrary in recent years, and there have been many voices of opposition within the Cao Wei Group.If you don't care about sending troops to Xiliang, you may have endless troubles.Since the military adviser said that he would send troops to Jiangdong, I'm afraid he can't be wrong. "

After hearing Jia Xu's repeated analysis, Xiu Yuan was not so sure about the occurrence of the Battle of Chibi.So he softened his tone: "Mr. Jia was joking. The way of divination and divination is elusive and uncertain. How can an ordinary person in Xiuyuan judge the future by himself? It's just that he can occasionally see some omens. , can’t be counted.”

"Didn't Master Hou befriend Sun Ce in the early years? Why don't you take this opportunity to go to Jiangdong with Master Hou? Maybe you will get something unexpected. According to the news from Qin Jiu, Xiao Wu's injury may be serious." It’s not something that ordinary medical officers can cure.”

"If you just want to treat Xiao Wu's injury, why bother the military division and Master Hou to go there for nothing, just let me go?" Yu Ji didn't know when he appeared behind Jia Xu, and took over the conversation with a smile.Xiuyuan was shocked when he heard the words, and stood up with a whoosh: "Immortal Master Yu Ji absolutely must not, I did divination last night, and the evil aspect of the immortal master's life wheel has appeared, and now he has not been able to practice the double cultivation method with his Taoist companion. If you leave Xiliang again, you will be seeking your own death!"

Yu Jiben followed Xiu Yuan just to avoid misfortune, and he was anxious when he heard Xiu Yuan's words, so he didn't dare to talk too much.Just like a chicken pecking rice with his own round head, he kept ordering.Jia Xu looked funny, so she had to take a cup of cold weak tea on the table to cover it up a bit so as not to burst out laughing on the spot.

It wasn't until Ji left worriedly that Xiu Yuan calmed down: "Mr. Jia's words are very true. It is meaningless for me and Lord Hou to stay in Xiliang City now. Why don't we go out to find out the news as soon as possible, and I will prepare right away." Xiu Yuan said Without waiting for Jia Xu to speak again, she left the corridor and went to the back house on her own.

Lv Bu's hearing ability is very good, he just listened to the conversation between Xiu Yuan and Jia Xu almost verbatim, and when the two of them returned to the room, Lv Bu asked: "Qinghe obviously slept with me on the bed last night. Shui-zhi-huan, where do you have time for divination?" Xiu Yuan patted Lu Bu's head amusedly and asked, "Could it be that Fengxian wants me to tell the story of reincarnation? It's just some old shadows, Whether it can be counted this time is still unknown, wouldn't it be better to use divination to blur the past?"

"Qinghe is still smart. How long do we have to live like this? You can't go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and you can't leave everything behind to live in seclusion. It's really boring to just practice swords every day." Xiu Yuan Hearing the words, I was taken aback, and my mood soon became depressed: "Actually, I don't know how to continue now. Maybe it's just like what Mr. Jia said. This time you and I will go to Jiangdong together. Anyway, we can also visit along the way. Why not take a look at the beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River?"
