Although Li Jue and Guo Si didn't have any strategies, they knew that the Kuai brothers were both famous people in Jingzhou and they were quite resourceful.

Therefore, they were very enthusiastic about the Kuai brothers and had been trying their best to persuade them to submit to themselves.

However, Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue knew that although Li Jue and Guo Si fought bravely, they had little political acumen and it was difficult to gain a foothold in troubled times.

However, in order to protect the interests of the Kuai family, the two of them decided to pretend to surrender for the time being. However, the two brothers submitted to Li Jue and Guo Si respectively, and then looked for opportunities to escape from their control.

So Kuai Liang followed Li Jue, and Kuai Yue followed Guo Si. They persuaded Li Jue and Guo Si respectively to support their own troops and break away from Yuan Shu's control.

After Dong Zhuo's death, Li Jue and Guo Si briefly supported their own troops in Luoyang, so they already had strong ambitions.

If Yuan Shu was a powerful prince, they might surrender, but Yuan Shu did not have much means to suppress them. Even if Liu Biao came to attack him, he would need Li Jue and Guo Si to help repel the enemy.

In addition, the two of them originally served under Dong Zhuo, and Li Jue was convinced by Dong Zhuo's ambition and dominance, but now Yuan Shu is completely different from Dong Zhuo.

Although he had Dong Zhuo's ambitions, he did not have Dong Zhuo's strength, and he had high ambitions and low abilities. All of this made Li Jue and Guo Si look down on Yuan Shu.

If it weren't for the fact that the three princes Yuan Shao, Ma Teng and Lu Bu attacked Sizhou together and Li Jue and Guo Bang were unable to resist, so they followed Jia Xu's suggestion and settled in Yuan Shu's territory, they would not have listened to Yuan Shu's order at all.

So the Kuai brothers tried to persuade Li Jue and Li Jue, and they were quickly persuaded to betray Dacheng State openly and occupied Wuling County and Lingling County in Jingzhou to support themselves.

Later, Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue started to sow discord around Li Jue and Guo Si respectively, saying bad things about each other, which caused Li Jue and Guo Si to resent each other little by little.

The two Kuai brothers thought that their actions were perfect and no one could see it, but what they didn't know was that everything they did fell into Jia Xu's eyes.

As early as when they surrendered, Jia Xu was very suspicious that they were obviously brothers, but they had to separate from each other to serve Li Jue and Guo Si respectively.

At that time, Jia Xu guessed that the two of them must have other intentions, so he had been secretly observing every move of the Kuai brothers.

As a super strategist, Jia Xu's intelligence and strategy are far superior to the two Kuai brothers, and he has long been accustomed to hiding behind the scenes, so the two Kuai brothers have no defense against Jia Xu.

However, although Jia Xu saw the plan of the two Kuai brothers, he not only did not stop the two, but also did not expose the two. Instead, he kept hiding in secret and observed the reactions of Li Jue and Guo Bang.

He hoped that Li Jue and Guo Si could see the abnormalities of the Kuai brothers with their own abilities, but to his disappointment, Li Jue and Guo Si had no feeling at all, and even became more and more dissatisfied with each other. trust.

Seeing this situation, Jia Xu was extremely disappointed, so he began to secretly break away from Li Jue and Guo Si little by little, and instead supported Zhang Xiu.

With the help of the Kuai brothers, Li Jue and Guo Si gradually forgot about Jia Xu's existence.

The biggest reason why Jia Xu chose Zhang Xiu was that Zhang Xiu, like him, was from Wuwei County, Liangzhou, and they were from the same hometown.

Since Dong Zhuo's death, Li Jue and Guo Si were the two most prestigious remaining generals under Dong Zhuo. Zhang Xiu followed his father Zhang Ji and stayed with Li Jue and Guo Si.

But not long after, Zhang Ji died of illness in Wancheng, so Zhang Xiu took over Zhang Ji's tribe.

However, because Zhang Xiu was not old, he was not in the inner circle of Li Jue and Guo Si, so Zhang Xiu had been dissatisfied with them for a long time.

But because he and Jia Xu are from the same hometown, they often get together and have a good relationship.

Now Jia Xu is supporting Zhang Xiu, and the first thing he said to him is,"The Kuai brothers assisted Li Jue and Guo Si respectively, but they continued to sow discord between them.

Now that they have resented each other, they must not be able to use it anymore." How long will it take for internal strife to break out and attack each other?

Therefore, General Zhang must be prepared at any time. Once a battle breaks out, when one party dies and both sides suffer, General Zhang will quickly lead his troops to reap the benefits and control the Liangzhou Army. It's in his own hands."

After hearing Jia Xu's words, Zhang Xiu was very surprised and asked:"Since sir, you have seen the Kuai brothers' plan, why don't you remind the two generals and instead support them?"

Jia Xu replied. :"The plan of the Kuai brothers is so simple, but not only can they not see through it, but they believe the words of a person who has just surrendered to them and cannot even guarantee their loyalty, and they have an internal conflict with their old brothers for many years.

They are so stupid, even if I remind them this time I will inevitably do it again in the future.

If I don't see it by then, won't I fall into someone else's plan and not even be able to save my life?

So I must get away from them as soon as possible and find someone who is trustworthy and capable of taking charge of the Liangzhou army. People as stupid as them will not lead the Xiliang Army to continue to develop."

After listening to Jia Xu's words, Zhang Xiu immediately understood Jia Xu's thoughts and said that everything would be subject to Jia Xu's arrangements.

Sure enough, not long after, under the planning of the Kuai brothers, Li Jue and Guo Si not only broke out in internal strife, but also had a serious conflict. In the end, Li Jue took the opportunity to kill Guo Si.

Just when Li Jue thought he could take all the Liangzhou army and Wuling and Lingling counties for himself, Zhang Xiu led thousands of his troops to surround Li Jue.

When Li Jue saw this, he immediately knew that Zhang Xiu had already planned it, so without saying a word, he slashed at Zhang Xiu with his sword.

However, Zhang Xiu is known as the King of Spears in the North, and he is unrivaled in Liangzhou with his Hundred Birds Chaofeng Spear. Even if Li Jue is Dong Zhuo's second best master after Lu Bu, it will still be difficult to defeat Zhang Xiu.

The two fought for less than thirty rounds. Zhang Xiu stabbed Li Jue in the heart with a spear. Then he twisted the spear and Li Jue fell off his horse and died on the spot.

After Li Jue's death, Zhang Xiu became the person with the highest official position in the Liangzhou army under Dong Zhuo's command. Coupled with the prestige of his father Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu successfully recruited the troops of Li Jue and Guo Si.

At this time, Jia Xu had already seen the ambitions of the Kuai brothers from their attitude towards Li Jue and knew that there would be no better development even if they continued to stay in Jingzhou.

So Zhang Xiu, on Jia Xu's suggestion, led the Liangzhou army into Yizhou.
