[@historian252]

Actually the Zhang Liang that Jia Xu was compared to was a key advisor to the founder of the Han Dynasty.

Dude is so laidback i love it and that laugh

[@TheNightowlGaming]

Haha yeah Jia Xus cool

[@historian252]

Also the games changed why Jia Xu encouraged Zhang Xiu to attack Cao Cao causing Cao Ang, Cao Anmin, and Dian Wei's death. Cao Cao planned to have Zhang Xiu killed for Xiu's anger towards Cao Cao trying to marry his aunt. And Jia Xu told him to choose the best opportunity to attack. Zhang Xiu actually beat Cao Cao during their two year conflict and before the battle of Guandu Jia Xu encouraged

Him to surrender to Cao Cao as he would need help in defeating Yuan Shao.

[@TheNightowlGaming]

Oh gotcha, super interesting. Jia Xu has got an interesting story

[@jamiemartin1434]

I do believe Jia Xu was actually close to his previous lord before he began serving Cao Cao to the point that he actually still like hang out with him after he advised him to so end up because both of them actually begun being stubborn to Cao Cao.

[@TheNightowlGaming]

oh gotcha

Ironically Zhang xiu was like his only friend irl

@@TheNightowlGaming damn shame he’s an npc although I would still welcome the inclusion of a friendship between them even if Zhang Xiu is a generic.

I think the games really downplayed the maneuvres that this guy was capable of. Historically, of course he was not defeated by Cao Cao and taken in by him. He was serving Zhang Xiu as a strategist, and Yuan Shao with an overwhelming force asked Zhang Xiu to join him to defeat Cao Cao together. Jia Xu said no, and told Zhang Xiu to join Cao Cao instead, despite Cao Cao being Zhang Xiu's enemy. It turned out Jia Xu was correct. Cao Cao welcomed Zhang Xiu personally and even persuaded the Emperor to enfeoff Zhang Xiu. After the battle of Wan castle, Cao Cao was attacking Zhang Xiu for years without any good result. Zhang Xiu was a good general but Jia Xu was the main reason why they are able to defend. Cao Cao and Cao Pi would consult Jia Xu on many matters, and whenever they don't listen to him, terrible things happen to them. Out of all the figures in 3 kingdoms if there were a sage I think this guy would be one. He just seems to knew everything.

[@TheNightowlGaming]

Definitely underratd, but you said in history he wasnt beaten and taken in by Cao Cao? How did he end up with Cao Cao after Wan Castle then? Or are you saying Zhang Xiu surrendered and basically confederated their forces into Cao Cao, which i think i remember learning about

[@xyzcv5]

@@TheNightowlGaming After the Wan castle, Cao Cao and Zhang Xiu continued to battle each other. Copied from a translation of Records of Three Kingdoms - Pei Songzhi annotated, Jia Xu's biography: After that, Cao Cao fought against Yuan Shao at Guandu, and Yuan Shao sent a messenger to make connections with Zhang Xiu, as well as sending Jia Xu a letter proposing an alliance. Zhang Xiu wished to accept it, but Jia Xu said openly to Yuan Shao’s messenger at the gathering hosted by Zhang Xiu, “Return and express to Yuan Benchu that we decline. If he could not accept even his brother, could he accept the talented men of the realm?” Zhang Xiu, startled, said, “This is going too far!” And secretly he said to Jia Xu, “If this is so, where should we find asylum?” Jia Xu said, “Let us submit to Lord Cao.” “Yuan is strong and Cao is weak,” Zhang Xiu said, “and on top of that we have been Cao’s enemies. Why submit to him?” Jia Xu replied, “This is precisely the reason why it is good to submit to him. Lord Cao commands the world by keeping the Emperor - reason one. Since Yuan Shao is strong and powerful, should we submit to him with our paltry number of men, he would not regard us highly. Lord Cao’s men are few, and thus would be glad to receive us - reason two. Those who have the ambition of a princely hegemon must release their private grudges, in order to have their virtues be known to the Four Seas - reason three. I pray you, general, doubt not!” Zhang Xiu concurred and led his men to submit to Cao Cao. When Cao Cao saw him, he was glad; and holding Jia Xu’s hands, he said, “There is one man who made my trustworthiness be exulted by the world; and good sir, you are he!” He then petitioned for Jia Xu to be the Commander of the Palace Guard and made Marquis of an imperial precinct. Jia Xu was then promoted to be Governor of Ji Province. As Ji Province had not been taken under control yet, he was left behind to be a military advisor for [Cao Cao’s] office of the Minister of Works.

Hey can you make a clan in COC for your subscribers.? So that all those who don't get donation nd don't have a clan can finally get one

[@TheNightowlGaming]

I have a clan for subscribers but I dont play CoC that much so I advise not to join it, you just need to find a clan that works for ya, there are lots of clans out there

[@dantles]

not much to say but that I don't like him, moveset is bla, looks are bla, story is bla and everything about him is bla, I do know that he was a ass but I don't care

[@TheNightowlGaming]

And thats okay! 😁

[@dantles]

@@TheNightowlGaming I have notice something and it is funny, it is rare that our two opinions match, most of the time (like now) it is me hating a character and you say it is ok or me loving a character and you saying it is bla but as you said it is ok, we don't have to like same things what matter is that we respect our opinions ps: I still hate ma chao

[@TheNightowlGaming]

@@dantles Of course I respect it because we are still both fans of the franchise which indubitably gets my respect its just the details we disagree on 😁 but anyone who is a Dynasty Warriors fan is cool in my book

[@dantles]

@@TheNightowlGaming and that is something we both can agree with, it is rare to find someone who is accepting of other opinions and I am not just a fan I am SUPER fan LOL I also love samurai warriors and warriors orochi but just don't talk about warriors ALL-STARS that thing is not a game but idea for game-ish that is like 15% done and sold to people, then again with knowing who was in charge of making it I am not surprised, that dude has record of failures in KOEI
