The Han Empire didn't give him much kindness, and relying on his feelings, it was not easy for him to do this.

If Jia Xu were to give his life to defend the Han family, then he would obviously not do so.

Between the Han Empire and life, of course Jia Xu would choose life without hesitation, so Jia Xu is very anxious now, and he can even dream of being sent to the execution ground to have his head beheaded.

Zhang Ji and Duan Xuan's six gods and masters, Zhang Xiu's panic, these can only exacerbate the fear in his heart, exacerbate his worries about the future, and cannot make him rise up and fight for everyone's well-being.

He wants to live, he wants to live, he wants to live in this chaos, and for this, he can sacrifice a lot of things.

From the time when he fooled all the people who were arrested with him in Liangzhou to give false testimony to him, falsely claiming that he was Duan Cheng's grandson and begging to survive.

From the moment he decided to sacrifice all those who had been captured with him to survive for him alone, he decided.

No matter what, stay alive.

The first taste of the fear of death made Jia Xu know that he was so afraid of death and wanted to live so much.

People who have not experienced the fear of death and are close at hand cannot understand Jia Xu's feelings.

Jia Xu sighed deeply, deeply worried, woke up in the middle of the night countless midnight dreams, touched the cold sweat on his forehead, he couldn't help but tremble, thinking about where his future was.

When will I die?

Where can I be my own place?

Jia Xu didn't know.

Then, he met with the head of the caravan who claimed to be from the Cai clan in Xiangyang.

The leaders of these caravans knew that Jia Xu was the highest person in charge of this area, so they often came to visit Jia Xu and gave him some gifts in exchange for cheap trading rights in this area, and some benefits to go back, anyway, it was also a daily routine.

Jia Xu usually receives them, because behind these caravans are all major families in Jingzhou.

It's the same this time, Xiangyang Cai's leader, Cai Mao, is an important minister by Liu Biao's side, holding important authority, and there is no harm in communicating more with such a person, so Jia Xu wants to meet him.

Then Jia Xu saw a young man coming to him under the guidance of the housekeeper.

"Yan Rou has seen Jia Shangshu."

"Well, you're ......"

Jia Xu frowned slightly, because he heard that this young man called himself Yan Rou, and his surname was not Cai.

"Here is someone who wants to meet Jia Shangshu, but it is not a person from the Xiangyang Cai family."

Yan Rou smiled slightly.

Jia Xu's face changed, his body stepped back, and he pulled out his saber and pointed it at Yan Rou.

"Who are you? What is the intention? Come! ”

Jia Xu gave an order, and the nursing homes outside flocked to it, blocking the water around Yan Rouwei.

"Jia Shangshu, why do you need to make such a big move? There was no weapon on his body, and he didn't come to kill Jia Shangshu, but he came to discuss with Jia Shangshu seriously. ”

"You are not from the Cai clan but you pretend to be from the Cai clan, aren't you ill-intentioned?"

Jia Xu squinted his eyes and looked at Yan Rou, and waved his hand: "Take it!" ”

"Wait!"

Yan Rou raised her hand and said, "Doesn't Jia Shangshu really want to discuss with him?" Although Zai Xia is not from Xiangyang, it is from the east. ”

Yan Rou grinned, smiling so unscrupulously, and Jia Xu's pupils shrank, as if she realized something.

"Jia Shangshu, there is no evil intention in the next place, otherwise why would he report to his home when he came up, instead of hiding his identity and waiting for the opportunity?"

Yan Rou raised her hands to show that she was harmless.

Jia Xu was silent for a while, and his thoughts turned a thousand times.

"Go down, all of you, and shut the door, and don't let anyone in."

The family members looked at Jia Xu together.

"Do it!"

As soon as Jia Xu gave the order, the family members retreated one after another and closed the door.

"Jia Shangshu, are these people reliable? If it is not reliable, I suggest that you better cut the grass and eradicate it, so that the news of your meeting with me today does not leak out. ”

Yan Rou looked at the people who had gone out.

"They have followed me from Luoyang to this point, and they are my earliest personal guards, loyal and infallible."

Jia Xu explained, then took a deep breath and said, "You are from the east, so you are from Puyang?" ”

Yan Rou clapped her hands.

"General Guo is right, Jia Wenhe is really a smart person, and he can hear it clearly with a slight hint."

Jia Xu pursed her lips.

"Are you Guo Zifeng's man?"

"Absolute cronies."

"What are you looking for me?"

"Special for Shangshu to point out a way to live."

Yan Rou bowed.

Jia Xu was stunned for a moment, leaned less, and said: "I didn't say a few words, my tone is not small, I am the secretary of the imperial court, he Guo Zifeng is hundreds of miles away, how can he show me the way to live?" Isn't that ridiculous? ”

Yan Rou smiled.

"It's all at this time, why does Jia Shangshu still pretend to be like this? Didn't Jia Shangshu know that the Han family was already in danger? Once General Guo takes refuge in Yuan Shu, will the Han family still be saved? ”

Jia Xu was stunned when he heard this, and then his eyes lit up.

"Guo Zifeng is going to attack Yuan Shu?"

There was excitement in his tone.

"Jia Shangshu is a smart person, you should understand what I mean, General Guo is the general of the Han Dynasty, and he will never be the general of Yuan Shu, so General Guo has decided to lead the army to the south, crusade against the traitor Yuan Shu, and return the world to a bright future."

Yan Rou said.

Jia Xu held back the excitement in his heart: "In that case, why did General Guo let you come to me?" Is it necessary to have an edict from the imperial court? Or what position is required? ”

"No, General Guo is here to ask me to tell Jia Shangshu that after the crusade against Yuan Shu, General Guo will come to attack Hongnong."

As soon as Yan Rou spoke, Jia Xu stood on the spot.

After a while.

"Is this a demonstration or a declaration of war?"

"No, this is pointing out a way for Jia Shangshu to live."

Yan Rou said with a smile: "Yuan Highway is going against the sky, although it seems to be prestigious all day long, but it is just a dying struggle, General Guo has laid a net of heaven and earth, Yuan Highway will definitely die, and Pseudo Chen will inevitably be destroyed."

But the demise of Pseudo-Chen does not mean that Jia Shangshu and Hongnong can sit back and relax, eliminate Pseudo-Chen, and look at the world, who else is General Guo's opponent? General Guo's next step is to crusade against Hongnong and rescue the Son of Heaven in order to serve the Han heir. ”

Jia Xu swallowed his saliva and forcibly held back the wavering and fear in his heart.

"Why do I believe that Guo Zifeng can defeat Yuan Highway? Yuan Highway is Guo Zifeng's old master, does Guo Zifeng really have a chance of winning if he does this? ”

Yan Rou smiled.

"Why should Jia Shangshu deceive himself? Who is strong and who is weak, who wins and who loses, do you still have to consider? Not to mention Yuzhou and Yangzhou, even Xuzhou is also within the scope of General Guo's plan, this battle, General Guo vowed to put down the Central Plains and control the Central Plains!

At that time, will Hongnong be able to resist General Guo's army? In fact, don't talk about that time, even now, can't General Guo do all this? Even I can enter this Hongnong county town without knowing it, why does Jia Shangshu feel that he can be alone? ”
