Chapter 39: The Rite of Audience

Liu Ze was overjoyed, helped Jia Xu up, and said: "If you can get Mr. Wenhe's help, it will be a great deal." Jia Xu said: "Lord, Jia Xu should understand when he goes to stay, wait for me to write a letter, send it to Li Wei, and then set off." Liu Ze said with a smile: "Li Dao and Guo Yan have caused trouble in Chang'an, compared to Dong Zhuo, there are still too many of them, Mr. pay attention." Jia Xu smiled slightly, the light in his triangular eyes flickered, nodded, and said, "It's a good idea." Liu Ze held the wine glass and watched Jia Xu finish writing the letter quickly, Jia Xu said to Jia Hong: "You hold the letter and ask the soldiers in the palace to hand it over to Li Wei tomorrow and return quickly." ”

That night, the group left Chang'an and went to Baling. There is Jia Xu here, and there are checkpoints everywhere, and there is no obstacle to natural passage. When staying overnight in Baling, Jia Xu met with his family, and his wife told that Shi A and others were well protected and there was no mistake, and Jia Xu was very relieved. Early the next morning, Shi A had already prepared the cart, Jia Xu and his family sat in the car, Liu Ze, Shi A, and more than 200 special elite soldiers rode horses to escort them, and marched towards Huayin.

Li Wei drank too much with Guo Yan and others last night, and he didn't get up until almost noon, and his personal guard handed over Jia Xu's letter. Li Wei was annoyed, beat his head and said, "At the banquet last night, I actually forgot Mr. Wenhe, damn it." "Busy opening the letter, read it:

Greetings to General Lee. The city of Chang'an is broken, the general is in power, and he is full of spirit, and he congratulates him. However, there are three things that have to be said. Those who have achieved great things should follow the trend, respect the Son of Heaven, neutralize the officials, and appease the people, which is a long-term plan. Guo Aduo, in order to look at it, the nature of the jackal is also, but the poverty can not be shared with the wealth, the general and the work together, need to be guarded against, remember to remember. Zhang Ji's nephew Zhang Xiu, the brave champion of the three armies, is good at using soldiers, in order to prevent accidents, the general should be transferred to the outside to settle himself. Xu Zi and the general acquaintance, words and scheming, deeply feel Shengde, but the family was coerced, all the five were burned, hesitant to have no plan, can no longer conspire with the general, will go to Jizhou, and reunite with his family. Farewell cursive, to the general.

Li Dao looked at it and sighed, "Li Daozhi is so miserable that he can't listen to Mr. Wenhe's teachings." The deputy general and lieutenant under the account said: "Jizhou is holding Mr. Wenhe's family hostage, why doesn't the general send troops to chase him?" "Jizhou kidnapped Mr.'s family, it should be when Wang Yun and Lu Bu killed innocents, more than half a month from today, why chase him?" Li Dao glanced at the generals under his tent and despised them. "The general is wise." The crowd complimented.

At Huayin Ferry, the big boat in Jizhou was rocking in the river, and when he saw Shi A and others signaling, the big boat slowly docked. Liu Ze got off the horse and helped Jia Xu get out of the car, Jia Xu saw Liu Ze like this, he couldn't help but be honestly afraid, Liu Ze smiled and said: "Please Mr. and his family board the boat, go down the river, and you will be able to reach Jizhou in a few days." Jia Xu saw that the ship was several feet tall and a five-story building was standing on the deck, and sighed: "Such a huge ship, how many people can it carry?" Liu Ze said with a smile: "Three thousand armors." Jia Xu said: "The lord is good, and he will go to Hangu and his party." Liu Ze said: "Mr. wants to be alone and dangerous? Jia Xu said: "When you see the lord for the first time, how can you not have the gift of an audience?" Hangu Xu Rong, a person who knows the soldiers, has won the trust of Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo is dead, each ministry has become its own faction, Xu Rong's home in Liaodong, he has been squeezed out, and he is going here, if the drowning person gets a rope, he will succeed, and the lord should not worry. Liu Ze also admired Xu Rong's ability to use soldiers, and before Hangu Pass, it was precisely because of Xu Rong's action that Dong Zhuo was able to enter Chang'an smoothly. Liu Zedao: "There are no less than 50,000 Hangu troops, how did you get to Liaodong?" "As soon as the words came out, Liu Ze regretted it, what kind of person is Jia Xu, since he proposed to recruit Xu Rong, he must have made a plan in his heart." The lord, Yuan Benchu and Han Fu are in a hurry to compete for Jizhou, the defense around Luoyang is empty, Xu and General Xu cross the water to the north, cross the pass, enter Hanoi, and enter Yanzhou Yan County, Yanzhou Cao Mengde and the main bus are good, how can they stop it? Liu Ze saw that Jia Xu was thinking about Zhou Xiang and said: "Qingzhou Le'an, where Jizhou Seaport is located, Mr. Go to Le'an, take a boat to the sea." Jia Xu smiled and said, "I know it." Liu Ze said secretly, the poison of the Three Kingdoms, the name is well deserved, far away in Chang'an, the affairs of Jizhou and Qingzhou are clearly understood.

Liu Ze boarded the boat and went down the river to Qingzhou. Jia Xu led Jia Hong and a few of his entourage, disguised and modified, and headed towards Hangu.

Since the death of Dong Zhuo, Xu Rong's life has been tight, Chang'an is in turmoil, and the grain and grass of the 50,000 army has become a big problem, so Xu Rong has no choice but to go to Hongnong County and ask him to provide grain and grass. Hongnong County was not lightly looted by Dong Zhuo, and he gathered some randomly to give Xu Rong an emergency. Xu Rong looked at the army in front of him, the once invincible Xiliang Xiong soldiers, now the sun is setting, and the glory is no longer there. Li Dao and Guo Bi are Dong Zhuo's old subordinates and fellow villagers, their roots are in Liangzhou, and they defected to Dong Zhuo from Liaodong, although they are valued by Dong Zhuo, but the exclusion of Li Dao, Guo Yan and others is always there, and now Dong Zhuo is dead, and he can't pee in a pot. Xu Rong felt that the future was bleak, sighed, and looked at the reckless mountains in a daze.

The soldiers came to report, and a person who became Jia Xu asked to see the general, "Jia Xu? Mr. Wenhe is here, "Xu Rong was depressed in his heart, and when he heard that his friend was coming, he hurried out to greet him. Jia Xu's tepid appearance, in Xu Rong's opinion, gave himself an anxious heart, as if he poured cold water, and calmed down. When he came to the big tent, Jia Xu coughed and said, "I came here, I have something important to discuss with the general, I don't know?" Mmmm...."Xu Rong waved his hand, and all the people under the tent withdrew. Xu Rong looked at Jia Xu and said, "Mr. is here, I don't know what's the matter?" "You and I have been friends for many years, to make a long story short, the general is happy at the moment?" Xu Rong frowned and said, "Didn't Mr. ask knowingly?" "Hehe, dissatisfied old friend, I am here to show you the way." "Sir, please be clear." "Hehe, where is my old friend's house?" "Liaodong Xiangping, ah... You mean? "Yes, Jizhou Liu Rundong is magnificent, Corporal Lixian, can old friends be interested?" Xu Rong pondered for a while and said: "Jizhou is far away, and under the Hangu Pass, there was a bloody battle with Jizhou. "The old friend thinks too much, and he is now a subordinate of Liu Jizhou." Xu Rong was shocked, "When did Mr. Liu Jizhou take refuge?" "Just five days ago." "The road is thousands of miles away, and the supply of the army is difficult, so this matter needs to be thought twice." "I expected it earlier, old friends, please see," Jia Xu pointed to the map and said: "The army crossed the Guan, plundered the water and went to Shanyang, crossed the Shanyang to know the Jia, crossed the water to Yanxian, Yanzhou Cao Mengde, Jizhou friends, will not be blocked, all the way to Qingzhou Le'an, then take a boat to Liaodong." "How could Yuan Benchu be unprepared?" "The soldiers are fast, Yuan Shao found that the army has reached the river, and now the river is dry, and the army is easy to cross." "Okay, just Mr."

The most important thing for the Xiliang army is horses, Xu Rong ordered an army of 50,000, carrying grain and grass and baggage, and rushed to Qianguan, where the guards were Xu Rong's subordinates. Qinshui County, where did you expect the army to besiege the city, and the county order opened the city gate and surrendered. Xu Rong plundered the county treasury and went straight to Shanyang. Jia Xu commanded the auxiliary troops, drove the cart, and followed closely. Xu Rong concocted the same method, entered Shanyang County, rested for one day, and the next day the army stayed in Huojia. It has been three days since Yuan Shao received the report. On the third day, the army set out and rushed to the river, Xu Rong ordered the collection of boats along the river, and the army crossed the river. Two days later, more than 60,000 people crossed the river safely and entered Yan County. At this point, Jia Xu put a heart in his stomach.
