Faced with an almost certain defeat, Li Jue and Guo Si had no choice but to turn to Jia Xu for help.

Jia Xu was one of the top five super counselors during the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty. Although he is not as famous as Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi because of his consistent low profile, he is definitely not inferior to the two in terms of planning.

And what Jia Xu is best at is finding a way out for himself.

Perhaps because of his own personality, Jia Xu has always been very cautious. Whenever there is a big event, he thinks about victory before failure. Therefore, he can always think of various situations in advance and find the safest solution in advance.

And his grasp of people's hearts is absolutely top-notch in the world.

It was under Jia Xu's planning that Li Jue and Guo Bang went from defeated generals like lost dogs to princes who controlled Sizhou and enjoyed wealth and honor.

Therefore, both Li Jue and Guo Si regarded Jia Xu as their chief think tank and were convinced of him.

With the absolute respect of Li Jue and Guo Si, Jia Xu's status in Luoyang is also very high. Therefore, Yuan Shao, Lu Bu and Ma Teng allThe news of the attack on Sizhou had already reached his ears.

In order to save his life, Jia Xu had already thought of a countermeasure, so when Li Jue and Guo Si came to him to ask for advice, Jia Xu almost blurted out:"Abandon Sili and go south to Jingzhou."

Regarding Jia Xu's proposal, Li Jue and Guo Si were not capable enough to figure out the reasons.

However, out of admiration and trust in Jia Xu's decision, the two of them did not ask the reason, and directly led the army to leave Sizhou and march towards Jingzhou.

Without the resistance of Li Jue and Guo Si, Yuan Shao and other three princes almost occupied the entire Sili Prefecture unimpeded.

Among them, Lu Bu occupied Hedong County and Fengyi on the left, Ma Teng occupied Fufeng and Jingzhaoyin on the right, and Yuan Shao occupied Hanoi County and Hongnong County.

As Li Jue and Guo Si had predicted, the three princes divided Sili Prefecture.

While Yuan Shao, Lu Bu and Ma Teng were making great progress, Xi Zhicai personally came to Jingzhou to lobby in order to get Liu Biao to form an alliance with Cao Cao to attack Sun Jian.

Liu Biao had heard about Xi Zhicai's name for a long time, so when the guard informed him that Xi Zhicai was seeking an audience, Liu Biao was very surprised.

However, although he was surprised, since Liu Biao was a prince and Xi Zhicai was Cao Cao's envoy, it was naturally impossible for him to miss him.

So Xi Zhicai entered the Prefecture Mu's Mansion, looked at Liu Biao who was sitting high up, bowed and said,"I am Xi Zhicai from Yingchuan. My lord, Cao Cao, has come to pay homage to Liu Jingzhou and give a great gift to Lord Prefecture Mu."

Liu Biao narrowed his eyes and looked at Xi Zhicai, and then said:"Liu has heard of Xi Zhicai for a long time. It is said that Mr. Xi is a great talent in the world and has great strategies.

It was under Mr. Xi's plan that Cao Mengde attacked We have traveled to most areas of Qingzhou and Yanzhou.

But today, Mr. Liu came to Jingzhou and said he would give Mr. Liu a big gift, but Mr. X seemed to come empty-handed. I wonder where the gift is?"

Xi Zhicai laughed. Then he said:"I don't dare to be a great talent, it's just a false name.

As for Lord Zhou Mu saying that my lord controlled Qingzhou and Yanzhou under Xi's plan, Xi doesn't even dare to be a great talent.

Mr. Cao is a great talent, and Wen Tao's martial arts are among the best in the world. I only made some suggestions to capture Qing and Yanzhou, which are not enough.

Even without me, Cao Gong captured Qing and Yanzhou very easily.

As for dedication , Lord Zhou Mu's great gift is not in my hands now.

If Lord Zhou Mu really wants this gift, I will definitely point out the method for you, but I still need some effort from you."

After Xi Zhi finished speaking, Liu Biao lowered his head and pondered, but Cai Hao shouted:"How presumptuous!

As a shepherd of Jingzhou and a clan member of the Han Dynasty, my lord has never seen anything. If you want to give a gift, just give it out.

But you still miss my lord Go find it yourself, is it possible that we in Jingzhou are lacking this small gift from you and have to help you?"

After Cai Hao finished speaking, Liu Biao still did not speak, but looked at Xi Zhicai.

Xi Zhi then knew that what Cai Mao said was probably what Liu Biao thought. However, as the governor of a state, he was embarrassed to say so, so he said it through Cai Mao's mouth.

Then Xi Zhicai smiled and said:"If Sir Zhou Mu doesn't want this great gift, of course I won't say anything.

But if he does want it, he really has to help me.

And according to my guess, Lord Zhou Mu should be asking for it."

After Xi Zhi finished speaking, Liu Biao finally couldn't help it anymore and took the initiative to ask:"What exactly is what sir said? Please stop being pretentious."

When Xi Zhi saw that Liu Biao was no longer tensed, he answered confidently. :"This great gift is, Sun Jian’s head on his neck!"

"ah!"

Everyone present was shocked when they heard Xi Zhicai's words.

The hatred between Sun Jian and Liu Biao had already reached an unending state.

Sun Jian wanted to kill Liu Biao to avenge Zu Mao, and Liu Biao also wanted to kill Sun Jian. , to take back the imperial seal.

So after hearing what Xi Zhicai said, Cai Mao first said:"Xi Zhicai, our lord respects you as a famous person in the world and gives you face, but we don't care.

Sun Jian is known as the Tiger of Jiangdong. We have fought with him several times, and we have long known that he is brave and very invincible.

Do you think that with just such a light word of yours, you can take out Sun Jian's head and offer it to my lord?

If you don't tell me how to kill Sun Jian today, even if my lord is willing to let you go, the soldiers under Cai Mao will not be able to endure your deception of my lord!"

Liu Biao obviously didn't believe that Xi Zhicai had the means to kill Sun Jian, so he also said:"Mr. Xi may not know that although Sun Jian is a bit reckless, his ability to lead troops in battle is indeed not bad.

If I, Liu, had not taken advantage of the geographical advantage, I might not be able to defeat him.

Since the gentleman said that there is a way to remove his head, he must have some good ideas. Please tell us and let us all analyze whether it is feasible."

Xi Zhicai had already mastered the art, so he naturally wouldn't have stage fright.

So he said:"To be honest, my lord has long wanted to go south to Yangzhou.

However, Yangzhou was occupied by Sun Jian. If we fought on land, our lord would naturally not be afraid of Sun Jian. However, there were many floods in Yangzhou, and our army knew that it was no match for the Jiangdong navy in the water battle.

The only one in the world that can compete with Sun Jian's Jiangdong Navy is your Jingzhou Navy.

However, the reason why your Excellency cannot defeat Sun Jian is because he is no match for Sun Jian in a land battle.

In this case, why don't our Cao and Liu families learn from each other's strengths and form an alliance to attack Sun Jian?

If our army were to contain Sun Jian's army, and Lord Zhou Mu came to deal with Sun Jian's navy, Sun Jian would not be able to escape death.

By then, won’t his head be in the master’s pocket?"
