"Wenhe, do you know where Han Tianzi is now?" Lu Bu asked expressionlessly.

Jia Xu thought for a while and replied, "It should still be in Yuzhang County, right?" ”

"That's right. If I regret it now and take Han Tianzi back, Shouchun will be the imperial court in the future, and I can be crowned king and general at will, and I can also dismiss Cao Cao's prime minister. But I didn't do that, because I knew that no matter how big the official rank was, it was the soldiers, the resource, and the people's will that would determine the success or failure of the war. You just said that you want to crown me the king of Chu, I think you might as well give me an extra stone of rice. I don't want this kind of meaningless false name for nothing. As for the 200,000 stone grains and 100 million copper coins, it's okay. But how much does Cao Cao owe me? It has been postponed to five years later, can he still afford it? ”

Jia Xu realized the difficulty of the negotiations and began to reformulate the plan.

Chen Gong said: "In today's world, it is no longer the court that has the final say, and there are fires everywhere, and the heroes are competing for the deer, who will take the official position seriously." Since Wen He wants to convince my lord, he should show sincerity. ”

Jia Xu was silent for a while, and said, "Okay, in addition to the 200,000 stone grain, 100 million copper coins, and 20,000 war horses." ”

Lu Bu was unmoved...

Jia Xu continued: "Add another 100,000 stone grains. ”

"Wenhe, Cao Cao has no food now, and even if he wants my help to repel the foreigners, can he afford to give 300,000 stone of grain? If he promises to give it immediately, even if it is 100,000 stone grain, I am willing to agree. ”

"General Lu, let me take the liberty of asking, are you going to use troops against Sun Liu next?" Jia Xu diverted the topic and asked an irrelevant word.

Lu Bu nodded and said, "That's right." I won't hide it from you. When my warship is built, the first one to be eliminated is Sun Ce, the second is Liu Bei, and the third is your lord Cao Cao. ”

Jia Xu was not angry, nor was he surprised, and said: "I can promise on behalf of the prime minister that as long as General Lu attacks Sun Ce, all the soldiers and horses of my two prefectures will march to Jingzhou and drag Liu Bei." After that, the land of Jingjiao and the two states belonged to the general, and my lord did not occupy any of it. ”

Hearing this promise, Zhang Liang and Xu Shu both felt very good. If Cao Cao could contain Liu Bei behind his back, it would be too simple to eliminate Sun Ce, and it would save a lot of troops and money.

The most important thing is that after Sun Ce is eliminated, he can also go back and clean up Liu Bei, and at that time, Jing and Jiaozhou will be able to smoothly get in their pockets.

"My lord, Mr. Wenhe's proposal is very good." Chen Gong was the first to speak.

Lu Bu glanced at Chen Gong and said, "Can you have a little interest, just such a little benefit, and you also want to send me to Xiliang?" ”

"What more does the lord want?" Xu Shu asked.

Jia Xu also said: "Yes, if General Lu has any requests, you can mention them, as long as they are within my ability, I can agree." ”

"Then I'll tell you?"

"Listen to me."

"Okay."

Lu Budao: "If you want me to send troops to Xiliang, you must do the following. First, give me 300,000 stone grain, 100,000,000 copper coins, and 20,000 war horses, plus what I owe before, to be repaid within three years. In other words, we have to re-sign the agreement and change the previous five years to three years. Second, as long as I attack Sun Ce, the soldiers and horses of your two states will attack Liu Bei's Jingzhou and hold him back. Third, I don't want to fight with other races under the command of Cao Cao, we have to fight each other, and no one should command anyone. Fourth, and most importantly, you must tell Cao Cao that from now on, you will be my man. And don't go back to Yanzhou, just stay in Shouchun, I will make you a scholar of Wenxian Pavilion University, and you will also walk in the military aircraft department. Can you do these four things? ”

The black line at one end of Jia Xu.

Just these four points of Lu Bu can make the popularity vomit blood.

"Congratulations to the host, you successfully provoked Jia Xu and gained 10 rage points!" A beep is heard.

Lu Bu was happy: "There are also unexpected gains." ”

Xu Shu, Chen Gong, and Zhang Liang couldn't help but glance at Lu Bu.

Jia Xu suppressed the anger in his heart and said in a deep voice: "General Lu, you are only a shallow learner and have limited ability, so you are really not a good strategist, why should you offend the prime minister and destroy the alliance because of me?" I believe that with the talent and virtue of a general, there are many people who are willing to serve. ”

"There are indeed many people who are willing to serve me, but few people can match you." Lu Bu said.

"The general is ashamed of his false praise."

Lu Bu said: "Among Cao Cao's many advisors, I value two people, one is Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao, and the other is you Jia Wenhe. Your talent is by no means below Guo Jia, it is only because of the power of the Yingchuan clan that suppresses you that you have no chance to get ahead. If you come under my command, I can assure you, it will definitely be the treatment of the chief strategist. Because I know that you are a very rare talent. ”

"General, I..." Jia Xu wanted to refuse.

Lu Bu said: "Wenhe, can you listen to me finish speaking?" ”

"Say it."

Jia Xu was impatient.

Lu Bu recalled: "I still remember that in the third year of Chuping, Dong Zhuo was killed by me, and the Xiliang Army and the Bingzhou Army in Chang'an all surrendered to me, only Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji, and Fan Chou, who were stationed in Tongguan, were unwilling to surrender, and under your strategy, they counterattacked Chang'an and drove me out of the capital. Such a bold strategy, and the final victory, can ordinary people think of it? ”

Speaking of the old things, Jia Xu's expression changed, and he complained: "General, don't mention Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji, and Fan Chou, I was just hurt by them." ”

"Why?"

"No why."

Lu Bu smiled: "Let's talk about it, I'm interested." ”

Jia Xu rolled his eyes and said, "My original intention was to capture Chang'an, stabilize the situation, and rely on the strength of the princes surnamed Liu to weaken the other princes." Unexpectedly, as soon as these reckless men entered Chang'an, they were carried away by power, and fought with each other all day long for the size of their official ranks, which caused chaos in the dynasty and the majesty of the court to the ground. If not, how can there be today's chaos? ”

"Forget it, what are you talking about..."

Recalling the past, Jia Xu also felt a pity.

If Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji, and Fan Chou could listen to him, after entering Chang'an, they would develop well, and slowly weaken the princes with the 200,000 Xiliang army in their hands as the royal army of the Han Dynasty. Maybe now the Son of Heaven is still in Chang'an, and the Han is still the Han.

Because the princes at that time did not dare to defy the imperial power.

Even Cao Cao's crusade against Tao Qian had to be under the banner of avenging his father, and he did not dare to blatantly mobilize troops.

Then there are Liu Yu, Liu Biao, and Liu Zhang, these princes surnamed Liu are all loyal to the Han family. With the help of their strength, it is not too difficult to weaken other princes and pacify the world step by step.

Like now, Lu Bu opened his mouth and closed his mouth, and if he didn't take the emperor in his eyes, he would almost be called the emperor.
