The battle of Guandu was over, and Yuan Shao fled back to Hebei in a panic, and because of this, those who were used by the potters and Cao Cao as disruptors to disrupt the counties of Hebei before the end of the war also withdrew according to the plan.

At this moment, Jia Xu had arrived in Luoyang from the Central Plains battlefield on the order of Cao Cao, and together with Zhong Xuan, he welcomed back Li Dao and Guo Yan from Hebei.

In the First Battle of Chang'an that year, Jia Xu colluded with Cao Cao, and took away the Son of Heaven with both inside and outside, and used this battle to make Li Dao, Guo Yan, Ma Teng, and Han Sui, the four princes of Guanxi, unable to straighten their waists for many years. The one who is defeated is called a bankrupt, although he is still glorious in death.

When Jia Xu was under Niu Fu, he hooked up with Li Dao for a while, and Li Dao liked him very much at that time, and he respected him very much, which means that Jia Xu is a man, if the surname Jia is a woman, Li Dao has to accept him.

It's a pity that Li Wei's sincerity was exchanged for Jia Xu's vicious calculation and ruthlessness.

The emperor is gone, the territory is gone, the land of Sanfu is difficult to gain a foothold, and Li Dao and Guo Yan are like lost dogs, wandering everywhere in the west of Middle-earth.

It's no different from those who ask for food, the only thing that's better than those who ask for food is that they can grab it.

And Li Wei's love for Jia Xu has also turned into monstrous hatred because of this incident.

He hated to cut Jia Xu into sashimi and eat it with salt.

But even if he hates Jia Xu again, now Li Xu has to rely on Cao Cao to eat, and Jia Xu, as the head of the Eagle and Snake Mansion secretly by Cao Cao's side, is also his dagger, so Li Dao doesn't dare to really do anything to Jia Xu.

But if you don't move Jia Xu, you won't bring it, and Li Wei will give him a good face.

After Li Wei and Guo Yan's soldiers and horses returned from Sanhe, Jia Xu and Zhong Xuan led their troops to meet them outside the city gate of Luoyang.

Luoyang City was poisoned by Dong Zhuo that year, turned into a ruin, but in recent years, after Zhong Xuan's repair and improvement, it has regained some vitality, and the displaced people from all directions have rejoined Luoyang's rule, and the former Han capital has gradually restored some of its former style, and Zhong Xuan can be said to have contributed a lot.

But Li Dao obviously didn't take these things seriously, but it's no wonder that he was one of the main people who burned Luoyang back then, and he could be said to be an important accomplice who followed Dong Zhuo as a tiger, and his nature was fierce and murderous, so it was strange that he could take Luoyang and the people seriously.

It can be said that he is a natural destroyer.

Seeing Zhong Xuan, Li Dao turned over and dismounted, and bowed to him.

Guo Yan also came to meet together.

Zhong Xuan smiled at the two of them: "The two generals have worked hard to harass the border of the three rivers in the state this time, and Zhong Xuan has all the credits on the table, and he has written a book, and Sikong already knows the exploits of the two generals. ”

Guo Yan smiled and said to Zhong Xuan: "With the help of Lao Zhonggong, the two of us will be rewarded by Cao Sikong when we turn around, and we will be thanked." ”

Zhong Xuan laughed and said: "The two generals don't have to be like this, Sikong can get the help of the two generals, and it is also a godsend, after all, the two generals are the two most brave and good warriors in the Xiliang Army in the past, and they are also the elite of the Xiliang Army." ”

Zhong Xuan listened to what he said very well, and he listened to Li Wei happily, and nodded vigorously in agreement.

At this time, Jia Xu flashed out from behind Zhong Xuan and said: "Right now, Cao Sikong has hoarded some grain and grass in Zhongmu County, and the soldiers and horses of the two generals are running out of grain in Bingzhou. ”

Li Wei looked at Jia Xu, and his face suddenly changed.

"Why are you here?" Li Wei gritted his teeth and said to Jia Xu.

Jia Xu was expressionless, not happy or angry, and made a long gesture at Li Dao, and said: "Back to General Li's words, the old man was ordered by Cao Sikong to meet the two with Zhong Gong in Luoyang, and the other was to plan the affairs of Montenegro for Sikong. ”

Li Wei didn't listen to Jia Xu's words at all, his eyes were like copper bells, staring at Jia Xu viciously, almost spewing fire.

This is why Li Wei restrained his emotions, otherwise he would definitely pounce on Jia Xu and bite Jia Xu a few times.

Zhong Xuan saw that the situation was wrong, and hurriedly stood up as a peacemaker, and said to Li Wei: "Jia Wenhe is right, Luoyang's grain is not enough for the two generals to rest for a long time, the two generals can rest here for two days, and then go to Zhongmu County by Xingyang Yongdao, where their own soldiers will receive the two and provide grain and grass to rest the soldiers and horses." ”

Li Wei let out a long sigh of relief and suppressed the anger in his chest, "You don't have to rest for two days!" Li is not used to eating the wine and meat of Luoyang, and he is not used to seeing the villain who is contrary to the yang and the yin, so General Guo and I immediately set off for Zhongmu County. ”

When Zhong Miao heard this, he said, "Doesn't the general even rest on horseback?" ”

Guo Yan also said sadly: "Brother Li, otherwise, it's okay to sleep in Luoyang for a night first......"

"If you want to sleep, you can sleep by yourself." Li Dao gave him a fierce look, then turned around and mounted his horse, beckoned the soldiers to go around the city, and went straight to the east.

Guo Yan sighed and said goodbye to Zhong Xuan helplessly.

After the figures of the two gradually drifted away, Jia Xu suddenly turned his head to look at Zhong Xuan curiously, and said, "The villain that Li Dao said in his mouth is not Zhong Gong, isn't it?" When have you sinned against him. ”

Zhong Xuan was angry and wanted to laugh.

"What do you say about me! It's clearly you, old fellow! Alas, Wen Hegong, you and Li Dao have a holiday, and it is not easy to understand, and you need to act cautiously in the future. ”

Jia Xu nodded gratefully, and said, "Thank you Zhong Gong for your concern, don't worry, Li Dao is a puppet, brave and unscrupulous, he won't do anything to the old man." ”

Zhong Xuan grinned: "Wen Hegong misunderstood. I asked you to act cautiously, which means that in the future, under Sikong's account, you take it lightly, don't pick Li Dao to death, after all, Sikong still needs him...... The old man didn't worry that you would be treated by Li Dao, you thought too much. ”

When Jia Xu heard this, a rare smile appeared on his face, which had always been unwavering.

It seems that he is self-inflicted.

Zhong Xuan stared at Jia Xu seriously and said to him, "How is the matter over there Zhang Baiqi?" ”

Jia Xu sighed and said: "Zhang Baiqi has been following the old man's instructions, secretly contacting Tao Sheng of Montenegro, hoping to use him to persuade Zhang Yan to surrender to Cao Sikong, but Bai Huan is quite opposed to this matter, he seems to be trying his best to identify the Xuzhou potter, and now Zhang Yan is also hesitant, but listening to Zhang Baiqi's words back, Zhang Yan seems to be a little inclined to the potter. ”

Zhong Xuan was taken aback when he heard this, and said: "Although the Black Mountain Army is not a regular army, and the living forces have been wiped out by Yuan Shao a lot in recent years, but the population under its jurisdiction is dense, and it cannot be ignored. ”

Jia Xu was not in a hurry when he heard this, he just brushed his beard and looked at the sky in the distance with a pair of cloudy eyes.

After thinking about it for a while, he saw Jia Xu sigh and said, "If Zhang Yan really makes up his mind, then the old man can only work harder and find a way to help Sikong get rid of him and change another lord of Montenegro." ”

Zhong Xuan listened to such understatements, and his whole body trembled involuntarily.
