Chapter 363 (1/2)

“Jia Xu of Nanyang and Zhang Lei came to yield to Shouchun I request Your Majesty to come down and talk” Jia Xu shouted loudly fro that the advisor’s voice was still so resonant and clear in the dark

“Coer of the soldiers on the walls The Xiliang Cavalry’s sudden appearance have already e the eneh battle when they entered the city

Now, it was said that Zhang Xiu is dead and Jia Xu had also asked to surrender This was not the proble to co to surrender or does he want Shouchun to surrender to him?

“Hmph! Jia Wenhe If you want to surrender, tie your hands behind your back and kneel We will lower a basket and then pull you up onto the walls You can slowly talk there!” Xu Shu immediately and coldly denied Jia Xu’s requet What was there to talk about? Liu Mang was the King of Shu and the owner of Yangzhou How could he go down the walls to talk with such a position? What if they were planning to suddenly take Liu Mang hostage?

“Is the King of Shu really unwilling to coain

“Yes! Jia Wenhe Even if it was Zhang Xiu who came personally, he would not be received in thisof Shu You are an advisor that came to surrender How could you have the qualifications to be personally received by Milord?” The other scholars on the walls of Yangzhou also angrily replied to Jia Xu

“Wenhe! This is…” A general of the Xiliang Cavalry becaer of the soldiers at Shouchun They had truly cas but by acting arrogantly despite co here to surrender

“It does not matter The two of you, watch carefully His Majesty would definitely co Xiu is dead and he needed to find a new Lord However, Liu Mang was not Jia Xu’s only candidate Jia Xu was thinking of serving one of three people One of the options was Cao Cao Following Cao Cao would be theXiu had earned Cao Cao’s hatred by killing his son and Dian Wei Cao CaoXiu’s children Although Jia Xu was not loyal to Zhang Xiu, there was still soether for so many years Besides that, Cao Cao had many talented officers which may cause Jia Xu to be unable to show off his talents Most positions have also already been taken Jia Xu would become like Liu Ye where he is unable to show his talent

The second option was Sun Ce If going to Cao Cao was like beco help in his hour of need This is because Sun Ce was lacking troops His only Yuzhou Cavalry had been destroyed by Lu Bu This cavalry had been several years of Sun Ce’s hard work If Jia Xu were to bring the Xiliang Cavalry over, he would definitely be well received However, he would need to cross the Yangtze River This was difficult to achieve if he did not have anyone to contact

The last option for hi help as the Liu Mang’s Arest Wolf Cavalry and also Zhao Yun’s White Horses As a result, the effect of obtaining cavalry soldiers is not as big as co it to Sun Ce At the same time, it was also not to the extent that they could be considered a decoration Right now, Liu Mang only had fifteen thousand troops This is also including Hao Shao’s troops and Zhao Yun’s troops This is one of the reasons Liu Mang was only able to receive Liu Bei and Zhang Xiu’s attack without countering Right now, the Lu Bu’s Army also only have sixty thousand troops If he was just like Zhang Xiu who has no ah However, Lu Bu was not that kind ofattention to the Lu Bu’s Ar The Lu Bu’s Arzhou In such a chaotic era, sixty thousand troops is hardly enough to compete for the land Even Sun Ce had seventy thousand navy troops If he wanted to recruit more soldiers, he could have several hundreds of thousand soldiers He had also used thatYuan Shao had three hundred thousand soldiers Cao Cao iven him a hard time but he had the ability to win After the battles, he only had one hundred thousand soldiers but if he captures Hefei It would not be difficult to replenish his troops In other words, sixty thousand soldiers is not enough Besides that, nobody would turn down an elite cavalry

During the Battle of Yangzhou, Jia Xu had been waiting It could be considered a test Although Jia Xu had favourable i to talk about if Liu Mang lost If Liu Bei had won, Jia Xu would join up with either Cao Cao or Liu Bei The survival of the Liu Mang’s Ar were to win, Jia Xu would look at Liu Mang and not Liu Bei Liu Bei was already in bad shape after fighting at Yangzhou He did not know about Hu Che Er but he believed that Liu Bei no longer had a chance of claizhou, he would have no future When Cao Cao attacks, Liu Bei could only choose to surrender or die Jia Xu would not join up with so had won, it could be said that he had passed Jia Xu’s first test Now, Jia Xu wanted to see if Liu Mang’s reputation was undeserved or if he truly had courage and insight Jia Xu gave Liu Mang two incense stick worth of ti to come down and talk by then, he would immediately take the soldiers away and surrender to Cao Cao He would no longer care even if Zhang Lei had died The only thing that mattered was his own safety The reason Jia Xu would do this is because he also knew that Liu Mang may dispatch troops and flank him This is also why he did not set up camp as he wanted to be able to escape faster Two incense stick worth of ti

On the other hand, if Liu Mang co This would not only prove Liu Mang’s courage and insight Jia Xu would have also given Liu Mang a reputation of one ould unite the land
