Su Poti was still old, but after chatting with Grishka for a while, he was a little sleepy, and Grishka hurriedly took him to rest.

After they left, Zhang Da told Jia Xu and Dong Zhuo what Su Poti said, Dong Zhuo heard it, and almost jumped up excitedly, his eyes widened, looking at Jia Xu on the side, needless to say, Jia Xu knew what he was thinking in his heart, Jia Xu frowned, and said: "Although he is so verbal, he can't fully trust it... Perhaps, he was sent by the King of Kushan to deliberately confuse us..."

"Whether it's the river or the northern mountain pass, you can't relax your vigilance..."Jia Xu said, Dong Zhuo nodded, and said: "However, if the north is really providing food and baggage for the army, then now is the best time to attack Hua Thornzim, as long as they lose their grain and grass, no matter how many troops he gathers, there is no way to enter Sogdia." ”

Jia Xu thought for a moment and said: "It's better to be cautious, Captain Guan once sent a letter, in the northern valley, there is only a narrow mountain pass, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if we venture to enter, the enemy will block the exit again, I am afraid that we will suffer a great disaster, and before we are sure of this matter, we must not rush to send soldiers into Huathornzim..."

Since Jia Xu said this, Dong Zhuo didn't want to say anything, nodded and agreed.

Su Poti rested for a day, and when he got up the next day, there were no soldiers around, only a slave, or a Kushan man, came to serve him, he didn't stay long, so he went to see Grishika, the two entered the study, and there was no one else, Su Poti was still a little surprised by this situation, he didn't expect that the generals of the Han army could trust Grishka so much.

"Prince, tell me the truth, did the Han general kidnap you?"

Grishka shook his head and said, "I also have some prestige in the Han Dynasty, they can't hold me hostage, I came here voluntarily..."

"Why?!" Su Poti was a little incomprehensible.

"I don't want to see the lives here ruined, the original rebellion, even affected the Han merchants, which made the Son of Heaven extraordinarily angry, sent the north and south elite crusade, if I don't come, I'm afraid that this place has become a ruin, the rebels killed the merchants, the thin general is the military commander of the Han Dynasty, called Jia Xu, he rules.. Forget it, you don't understand, he's a very vindictive person..."

"Alas, I wrote a lot of letters to my nephew, but I couldn't send them to him, in fact, as long as he could admit his mistake to Jia Xu, the war would have been avoided, and the people on both sides would not have suffered such a catastrophe... It's just that I don't know how to convince him..."Greeka said seriously, he sighed, and said: "The ministers in the Han Dynasty are also unwilling to fight..."

Su Poti listened, nodded, and said, "You are right, since the new king ascended the throne, he has not practiced any good governance... Even, a few small princes wanted to rebel, and he directly ordered the abandonment of these places, believing that these places would only drag down the empire and would not benefit the empire, and the empire could build a new palace with the money of the soldiers there... Or, a statue of pure gold..."

Su Poti smiled bitterly and said, "We, the old ministers, have been admonished many times, but it has no effect, if you can succeed him and become the king of Kushan, how good it would be..."

"The King of Kushan... I don't have that kind of virtue, I don't have that kind of virtue...", and asked, "Is it true that you said yesterday that the Kushan army had gathered and were preparing to cross the river to fight?" ”

"It is true, of course, that the general of the Han dynasty wrote him a letter, and humiliated him, which made him extremely angry, and he swore that he would wash away his shame, and from the south he requisitioned an army of more than forty men... There are so many soldiers, I can't count how many there are, and the ships are almost filling the entire Daxia River... If you want the Han army to help you and seize the royal power, you can tell the Han army the news and let them prepare. ”

Greskal frowned, and he said, "They already knew, so why should I tell me again?" I don't want to see this war...", he closed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking, he stood up, let Su Poti rest here for the time being, and went to find Jia Xu.

When Jia Xu saw him come in, he sat facing him without the slightest surprise.

"Jia Gong, I want to go to the other side of the river...", said Luxika.

Jia Xu was stunned for a moment and asked, "Jun is going to return to Guishuang?" ”

"That's not the case, Guishan, the one who gave birth to me, the great man, the one who raised me, I can't sit back and watch the two kingdoms go to war, there will be war deaths, there will be casualties, I can't bear it, I am willing to go to Guishan, so that the King of Kushan will apologize for the story and avoid the war..."

"Oh? Apologize? Can you convince your royal nephew to give up the war? ”

"I don't know... However, compared to the general, I am his henchman, if I use myself as a threat to make him give up the war, even in order to kill me, he will give up the war, my nephew, although irritable and unintelligent, but he has been very trustworthy since he was a child... I'm willing to trust him...", looking at the hesitation on Jia Xu's face, he said again:

"If I can save millions of people from war with my life, I have no fear."

"Well... Okay, I need to tell Dong Gong about this matter, and you will go back..."Jia Xu said, Greasy Sejia got up, bowed to him again, and then left here, Jia Xu frowned, secretly thinking, Greasy Sejia is in his own hands, there are two benefits, one is to be able to appease the people here, and the other is that he can be the successor of the Guishan royal power.

If it were sent to the King of Kushan, there would be no doubt that the King of Kushan would kill this powerful contender.

Next, he will either withdraw his troops or continue his crusade.

If he withdraws his army, Sogdia will have the opportunity to recover, and now through the cultivation of these slaves, as long as Sogdia is given a year or two, Sogdia will be able to develop rapidly, and self-sufficiency will not be too difficult, if he does not withdraw his troops and continue to attack, his prestige in Kushan will definitely be greatly reduced, and the Han can continue to wage war against Kushan in the name of revenge for him.

Jia Xu thought about it seriously, and in the end, he still felt that it was inappropriate, the heir to the throne, in his own hands, might be able to play a better role.

Subsequently, in order to verify whether the news passed by Su Poti was correct, Jia Xu made some arrangements, first of all, the monitoring of Su Poti, there seems to be no one around Su Poti who is monitoring, in fact, there are not many people who secretly monitor him, just to see if he will show any horses, on the other hand, even Greasy Sejia is the same, subject to Jia Xu's strict surveillance.

And Sun Jian, who was in the distance, including Guan Yu in the north, also received an order to probe the enemy again.

Gongsun Chan probed the enemy situation in the northern mountain pass, hurriedly returned to the garrison, and informed Guan Yu that the situation in the north had changed, standing in the mountain pass, he could hear the sound of the enemy's training army, and looking at the mountain wall, he could also see a lot of flag sounds, including many birds hovering on the other side of the mountain, as if there was a large group of enemies on the opposite bank, and at night, you could also see the billowing black smoke they made when they were cooking on the fire.

In the south, there is no change, I didn't see any boats coming, as usual, but, the careful Cao Cao found that the river has a rising trend, and according to the locals, there should not be such a situation at this time, this is usually in the spring heavy rain, only the situation will appear, knowing this, Sun Jian also hurriedly told Dong Zhuo Daying.

When the river rises, it is likely that enemy ships are gathering on this river, and too many ships are piled up on the river.

Dong Zhuo was already sure in his heart that the Guishan people were preparing to attack from the waterway, they had gathered many ships on the river, and the north, it was just their bluff, if they really wanted to attack from the north, they would not make such a move to make the Han army ready, that is, they were just feints to attack the north, so that they could divide their forces to the north, and then attack from the south!

He couldn't wait any longer, and wanted to send an elite army of soldiers to the north to cut off the other party's grain and grass.

Jia Xu still didn't allow it, Dong Zhuo could also hold down the heart that was looking forward to making meritorious contributions, after all, he was not a young man, he had been in the army for decades, starting from the period of Emperor Huan, after three generations of kings, and countless battles, he knew that the most taboo in combat was utilitarianism, so he could stabilize his mind, but most of the captains under his command were a little unable to sit still, they were still young, and they were more eager to get more military achievements!

Dong Zhuo and Jia Xu discussed for a long time, and finally decided, or don't rush to send troops to the north, if you rush to send troops, you may fall into the disadvantage of the army, it is best to send a scout into the north, to explore the truth, in addition, to let the elite soldiers guard outside, at any time to respond, if there is something wrong, immediately fight.

For this matter, Dong Zhuo asked Huang Zhong to stay in the camp, and he and Jia Xu went to the north and went to the place where Guan Yu was guarded.

When Dong Zhuo led the army to arrive, Gongsun Zhan, Guan Yu, and Hua Xiong came to greet him, seeing Hua Xiong's honest smile, Dong Zhuo had a headache, and everyone entered the camp together, Dong Zhuo didn't talk nonsense, and directly told what had happened in these days, and talked about his and Jia Xu's decision, and everyone's eyes suddenly looked at Gongsun Zhan.

Gongsun Chan met everyone's eyes, stepped forward, bowed to Dong Zhuo, and said: "We are willing to go to find out the whereabouts of the enemy, but if something happens, I hope that Dong Gong can quickly support..."

"Don't worry!"

The next day, Dong Zhuo's army rushed to the mountain pass, stopped, cut down the surrounding dense forests, these dense forests, not only obstructed everyone's sight, and even, they also made Dong Zhuo have no way to camp here, after two or three days, most of the dense forests here were cleared, Dong Zhuo set up camp here, and Gongsun Zhan led the soldiers of the brave battalion, fully armed, crossed the mountain pass, and entered Huathornzimo.

Gongsun Chan sat at the front, the mountain pass here is narrow, he has no way to ride the horse, he can only let the horse go ahead, he drives the horse behind him, the group passed through the mountain pass like this, the more forward, the more open the mountain pass, Gongsun Chan only then rode on the horse, however, it is still a person to advance, Gongsun Chan is afraid that there will be a blockage when he will escape.

Gongsun Chan held a strong bow in his hand, looked around, and moved forward cautiously, feeling a little nervous.
