Zhang Xiu did not wait for the Shanyue to changeZhang Xiu did not wait for the Shanyue to make greater progress in the reform and returned to Huainan, naturally because the north was about to surge.

As soon as he returned to Shouchun, two not very good news were reported to Zhang Xiu. One is the escape of Guo Jia and Xu Chu who hijacked Jia Xu.

There is no doubt that the nature of this incident is extremely bad. This kind of extremely serious incident can happen in his own nest, and it stands to reason that all the parties involved should be heavily punished, but Zhang Xiu did not punish Yuan Yin, who was directly responsible for letting Xu Chu be easily released, on the contrary, Zhang Xiu also praised Yuan Yao and Yuan Gongwei, who had the merit of "saving people", but there was no accountability for the escape of the two heavyweights, Guo Jia and Xu Chu, as if these two people had never been in Huainan, which really confused everyone.

In addition, because of the return of the two generals Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, Zhou Yu stepped down as the temporary deputy garrison of Shouchun, but he had a better place to go, that is, to rectify the weak Yangzhou naval army.

Because the focus of the previous princes' rivalry was on land, coupled with Zhang Xiu's unstable foundation and limited energy, Zhang Xiujun's naval army has always been in an insignificant position. However, Zhang Xiu himself is not the kind of Continental Armyist, and the indispensable role of the naval army has been fully demonstrated by crossing the Yangtze River to attack Jiangdong, especially if Zhang Xiu wants to make a difference between the Jianghuai River, it is necessary to build new warships and train sailors, so as to obtain stronger strategic depth and extensibility in this troubled era.

Just do it! During the period when Zhou Yu served as the deputy garrison of Shouchun, Shouchun's civil and military personnel all saw Mei Zhoulang's literary and military talents, especially after witnessing the courage and heroic performance of this twenty-four-year-old young man outside Shouchun City, no one questioned Zhang Xiu's choice to let Zhou Yu be the governor of Yangzhou Navy.

In addition, Zhang Xiu also inserted Lu Meng, who performed well in the Zhenze Water Battle, into the naval army, and gave him a military position to be dispatched by Zhou Yu.

There is also the fierce general Tai Shici, Zhang Xiu once considered letting Tai Shici and Cao Xing take charge of the Qianghu bow cavalry, but after thinking about it for a long time, Zhang Xiu still chose to delegate Tai Shici to Zhang Xunjun, who lacked generals to command the army, and gave him the real power to take charge of the army, as a show of his attention.

As for Tong Fei, who was accidentally excavated in Shucheng, Zhang Xiu was not sure of his other abilities in addition to his force value, so according to the previous practice, he stayed by his side for a period of time as a general.

Another not very good news was that Jia Xu told Zhang Xiu that Li Rulai had come to Zhang Xiu.

Who is Li Ru? The former national thief Dong Zhuo's first think tank and first pro-confidant! played an extremely important role in the entire Dong Zhuo Rebellion. It can be said that more than half of the disasters Dong Zhuo has done have Li Ru's figure appearing. If Jia Xu is called a poisoner because of his scheming to attack poison, what Li Ru did was directly vicious on the surface, and one of the vicious things he did was to kill the young emperor with his own hands and kill Concubine Tang and Empress Dowager He!

Maybe it was because the things he did were too angry and resentful, and later Dong Zhuo was killed, and the second thing Wang Yun and others looked for was Li Ru, but fortunately, Li Ru was not only ruthless, but also poisonous enough, and he had already seen Lu Bu's two hearts, so he slipped away from the chaos when he was sick at home at the beginning of the incident. But later, Li Dao and Guo Yan returned to Chang'an, and Li Dao, who was in power, re-applied for Li Ru's official position, but was resolutely opposed by Emperor Xian's death, and Li Ru was not very well received in the Xiliang Army, so the matter was finally abandoned.

In fact, Li Ru, you killed Liu Xie's own brother, it is reasonable for Liu Xie to tolerate Li Ru to worship again, otherwise the Liu royal family of the Han Dynasty will really become a big joke.

Li Ru, who had no official position and no position, has since disappeared. After Li Dao and Guo Yan, there was no intention of reusing Li Ru. In fact, from the very beginning, when Li Dao was looking at Jia Xu as Zuo, Feng Yi was just playing Li Ru as a mere servant, and Li Ru had already lost his status in Xiliang. Later, Jia Xu was shown as a scholar and servant, and Doctor Guanglu even had to be made a marquis, but Li Ru, the former first strategist of Xiliang, completely disappeared from the political arena and was annihilated.

However, it is certain that Li Ru did not die in Wang Yun's coup d'état and other military rebellions, especially when Li Ru brought Jia Xu's family to Shouchun, which directly proved this to Zhang Xiu.

In person with Zhang Xiu, Li Ru, who bowed his head and bowed, honestly told Zhang Xiu what he didn't know about. The general meaning is as follows: Li Ru saw that Li Dao Guo Yan was lucky and fled back to his hometown Xiliang privately, and had to return to the Central Plains for various reasons to seek life, during which he made a decision to defect to Zhang Xiu, and met Duan Xuanbu soldiers who escorted Jia Xu's relatives to Xuchang from Wuguan near Nanyang on the way.

"Li Ru knows that he has a deep sin, and he often hates that he can't give death to the Han Dynasty to get relief and comfort the people of the world, and he also wants to cut himself off to show his regret in the past, but people will eventually die, and early death is really cheap for Li to commit a lot of crimes, so I, Li Ru, am willing to choose a Ming Lord Renjun to serve the work of dogs and horses, and do everything I can to help Xinghan save the people, and hope that General Zhendong will be fulfilled!"

Although Zhang Xiu, who was sitting at the top of the position, had a heavy face and a focused expression, in fact, Zhang Xiu didn't believe that what Li Ru said was a punctuation mark. It's not that what Li Ru said is false, but Zhang Xiu knows that what Li Ru says is full of exaggeration and exaggeration.

Can you see that Li Dao and Guo Yan were not long in luck at the beginning of Li Dao and Guo Yan's power? I believe this, after all, he is a person who can see the potential of Lu Bufei at a glance, and can predict Dong Zhuo's defeat with the Diao Chan incident, so it is normal to see that Li Dao and Guo Yan will not last long.

Flee back to your hometown Xiliang and can't get along? Others don't know what the situation is in remote Xiliang, but Zhang Xiu, who knows history well, knows it in his heart. In Dong Zhuo's later period, the Xiliang region was already out of Dong Zhuo's control. The new Xiliang valve headed by Ma Teng and Han Sui is hostile to Dong Zhuo's old Xiliang valve, so naturally he will not be polite to Dong Zhuo and Li Ru who stayed in Xiliang's Tianshan mansion, so it naturally makes sense that Li Ru can't get along in Xiliang.

But one thing that makes more sense is that everyone in the world knows the heinous sin of Li Ru's killing of the emperor, and after losing power, Li Ru must not flee to the south of Yizhou Jingzhou, an area where the Han clan is in power, and he can't escape to the old enemies Cao Cao and Yuan Shao in the east. You must know that the political capital of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao in their early years was accumulated by assassinating Dong Zhuo and launching a campaign against Dong, and Li Ru must have died if he went to the Central Plains. So if you don't want to flee to the north and mingle with the Xiongnu Xianbei Hu people, you can only abscond back to your hometown to make a living.

As for Zhang Xiu, who decided to defect to some origins, he saved Jia Xu's family by the way? Zhang Xiu is hehe, I'm afraid the real situation is reversed. should have met Jia Xu's family by chance, and then he had the idea of taking advantage of the situation to join Zhang Xiu. Otherwise, hum, although Zhang Xiu does not have much loyalty to the Eastern Han court, if Zhang Xiu were to choose between Li Ru and the Eastern Han court, Zhang Xiu would definitely choose the Eastern Han court in which Cao Cao was in power.

The reason is not why, just because Li Ru's reputation is too bad, to a certain extent, containing Li Ru is against the whole world!

Thinking that Emperor Han Xian died tens of thousands of Han courtiers and soldiers around him overnight, but in front of the extremely vicious Li Dao, he still gritted his teeth and scolded Li Ru for refusing to confer an official. Although Li Ru's talent is not under Jia Xu, it is definitely not as big as Zhang Xiu's enemies of the world for him.

Fortunately, Li Ru himself is self-aware and understands Zhang Xiu's concerns. also understands that Zhang Xiu is still willing to listen to his nonsense, and it is already very tolerant that he did not cut off his head and send it to Xuchang.

Before coming to Huainan, Li Ru actually thought that with the credit of saving Jia Xu's family, coupled with Jia Xu's current status in the Zhang Xiu Group, he could still get mixed up with an official position. But on the first day he came to Shouchun, Li Ru understood that he had conceived everything too simply, and he also thought that Jia Xu and Zhang Xiu were too simple.

The first day Li Ru came, that is, the day when Guo Jiayu tricked Yuan Yin into rescuing Xu Chu and kidnapped Jia Xu to make a big fuss about Shouchun. Li Ru was still polite with Jia Xu at the time, but suddenly Jia Xu inexplicably said that he was going to the front hall to pick up something. Then, not long after Jia Xu walked out, Jia's mansion was in chaos, and when Li Ru was panicked like a frightened bird, Jia Xu wanted to take his life and was about to flee from the door, but he found that Jia Xu was actually held hostage by a man with a tiger's back and a waist and wearing prison clothes!

At that time, Li Ru didn't know what was going on, so he could only continue to stay in Jiafu as the life-saving benefactor of the Jia family, and he didn't dare to go anywhere. Until the news came in the evening, one of the two people who held Jia Xu hostage was Cao Cao's henchman Guo Jia, and the other was Cao Cao's favorite general Xu Chu, and when the identities of these two people were captured by Zhang Xiujun before, Li Ru suddenly understood everything! It is also speculated that the subsequent tense development can be obtained.

Sure enough, although the two generals who stayed behind in Shouchun, Li Tong and Zhou Yu, failed to save Jia Xu, but only a day later, Jia Xu was inexplicably rescued by a palace captain who was equivalent to eating and waiting for death, which greatly surprised everyone's expectations, but it made Li Ru frightened!

After Jia Xu came back, he was still calm, but Li Ru no longer dared to talk about the family that he saved Jia Xu. The truth of the matter is already clear, the depth of Jia Xu's scheming is by no means something he can measure, and it is also worth Zhang Xiu to let go of Guo Jia and Xu Chu to exchange for Jia Xu's family from Cao Cao. And his own horizontal bar is to break this imminent situation.

Fortunately, the situation has been pushed in a better direction by itself. The reason why Jia Xu still chose to let Guo Jia and Xu Chu go after his family was safe Li Ru also guessed that it was nothing more than the current situation of Yuan Qiang and Cao Weak, after all, the current reality is that the internal friction between several princes in the Central Plains is too serious, and they can't compete with the Yuan family when they are tied together.

Presumably, these are actually the ghost Guo Jia should also know it in his heart, so Jia Xu naturally doesn't have to worry about being held hostage and his life is in danger. In fact, the process of Guo Jia and Xu Chu's escape from Huainan can be described as this - "forcibly sent away by Jia Xu under the protection of Jia Xu······

In this way, Li Ru understood that he had nothing to say about taking refuge in Zhang Xiu. However, Jia Xu still used Li Ru's rescue of his family to help Li Ru meet in front of Zhang Xiu, which made Li Ru's heart ignite new hope.

Pay attention to the wording, this time it's just an introduction, not a homophonic introduction! Li Ru, who secretly sighed in his heart that Jia Xu did everything without leakage, understood that Jia Xu gave him a chance, and then it was up to him to see how he fought in front of Zhang Xiu.
