Since Dong Zhuo sent people to persuade him to surrender, it must not only be Xu Chu and others.

After asking Cao Ren, Cao Ren relayed Cao Cao's words.

"In addition to Yin Shaofu who was sent to Liangxian, Yingchuan and other places, there are also Han Rong, the great Honglu, Hu Wuban, the master Wu Xiu, and the Yue cavalry captain Wang Gui."

Xu Chu asked, "Zixiao, has Brother Meng De already gathered from Yangren?" ”

Cao Ren nodded.

Xi Zhong groaned: "It's strange, I found out that Dong Zhuo ordered Hu Zhen and Xu Rong's troops to retreat to the two passes, why did they send people to persuade them to surrender now?" ”

Xu Chu was also puzzled. Dong Zhuo just killed the Yuan clan in Luoyang not long ago, a total of more than 50 people, if Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were timid rats, they might surrender, but these two people were determined to rebel, at this time, in addition to the national hatred, there was more family hatred, where would they surrender?

Xu Chu thought about it for a while, and said in his heart: Could it be him again?

......

Jia Xu stood at the gate of the camp, looking at the fires in the distance.

The fire has only been burning for half a day, and it is estimated that it will have to burn for several days. When the fire stopped, the capital was in ruins. The residents of the city were driven by the sergeants to move in the direction of Chang'an, and their belongings were confiscated by Dong Zhuo under various names - in fact, there was no need for any name, after the Xiliang army entered Beijing, didn't they always do this?

Jia Xu never thought of himself as a good person, but after seeing the gods drowning in the fire, and seeing hundreds of people being slaughtered and trampled to death, his heart as hard as iron couldn't help but shake a little.

Sleeping with the enemy.

Looking through the history books, it seems that only this word is the most appropriate to describe oneself.

Jia Xu smiled self-deprecatingly. When the scholar died as a confidant, when he was in Wuwei Guzang, almost no one recognized his talent, only the famous scholar Yan Zhong felt that he had superhuman wisdom, which was comparable to the former Han Dynasty ministers Chen Ping and Zhang Liang. Outside of Yan Zhong, there is only Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo first appointed him as a lieutenant of the Taiwei Mansion, and then promoted him to the captain of the Imperial Commander's Mansion, and when he sent Niu Fu to attack Wang Kuang, he appointed him as a department to command thousands of tiger soldiers.

As the only scribe in Dong Zhuo's army who has led a single one, Jia Xu knows that Dong Zhuo attaches great importance to him, but this weight has also brought him more and more into the abyss.

After thinking a lot, Jia Xu sighed and returned to the military tent.

Dong Zhuo smiled at him reluctantly and said, "Wenhe, it's cold outside, come and warm up by the fire." ”

Jia Xu thanked him with a smile, and it could be seen that Dong Zhuo was in a bad mood.

When assisting Dong Zhuo for a long time, Jia Xu knew that Dong Zhuo was a suspicious person. This man who mastered the Han Dynasty once reused Wu Qiong, Zhou Yu, Yuan Shao and others after they raised troops, and killed the two in a fit of rage, but not long after, Dong Zhuo regretted it. There are many similar examples, such as the appointment of Liu Biao as the assassin of Jingzhou in the name of the imperial court, Dong Zhuo also regretted it.

"Wenhe, where is Liu Jingsheng?"

"Back to Xiangguo, you should have arrived in Jingzhou."

Dong Zhuo squinted, shook the wine glass in his hand, and said, "Wenhe, I'm still not very relieved." ”

Jia Xu stretched out his hand and roasted on the stove, lowered his head and said, "What is Xiangguo worried about?" ”

"Liu Jingsheng, a clan member of the Han family, a member of the party, has always dealt with me. He went to Jingzhou to be a assassin, will he really compete for power with Yuan Shu, a kid? Hey, I'm afraid that after he arrives in Jingzhou, he will get involved with Yuan Shu and deal with us together. ”

"Xiangguo is too worried." Jia Xu smiled modestly and looked up at Dong Zhuo.

For some reason, every time he sees Jia Xu's smile, Dong Zhuo will be very relieved, but in addition to peace of mind, he will inevitably have a little palpitations. Jia Xucheng is as Yan Zhong said, he is an unborn adviser, but recently, I heard that he always sighs for a long time, and it seems that there is something uneasy in his heart.

Dong Zhuo put away his thoughts and said, "What does Wenhe mean?" ”

Jia Xu said: "Yuan Highway is entrenched in Luyang, and there has not been a single soldier for nearly a month, what does Xiangguo think he is doing? ”

"Oh? Let's hear about it. ”

"It is nothing more than using the capital of his Yuan family's son-in-law to collect Jingzhou scholars, reorganize soldiers and horses, collect baggage, and prepare for the capture of Jingzhou in the future. Xiangguo sent Liu Jingsheng to Jingzhou to serve as the assassin, Yuan Highway has always been arrogant, he arrived first, Liu Jingsheng is later, how can he give in. ”

Dong Zhuo bowed his head and said suspiciously: "Yuan Shu is arrogant, I know." But what if Liu Biaozhong doesn't like it and deliberately tolerates it? ”

Jia Xu immediately said: "Liu Jingsheng has a high name, he is not a person who compromises and seeks perfection, Xiang Guobei was confused by his appearance of a 'generous elder'. Taking a step back, Yuan Highway is extremely arrogant, even if Liu Jingsheng is willing to endure it, unless he vacates the position of Jingzhou Thorn History, Yuan Shu will definitely be pressing step by step. Therefore, there must be a vicious fight between the two, and Xiang Guo just has to sit in the camp and wait to see a good show. ”

Dong Zhuo couldn't help but think of the plan arranged by Jia Xu before: let Han Fu be the pastor of Jizhou, and let Yuan Shao be the Taishou of Bohai.

At that time, he didn't believe that Han Fu would go against Yuan Shao, after all, Han Fu was a protégé of the Yuan family, and it was a great violation of the etiquette law of the world for the protégé to rebel against the old master. But the result was that Han Fu not only imprisoned Yuan Shao for his own power, but also constantly sent people to monitor Yuan Shao, and finally when the princes raised troops, he had to turn to support Yuan Shao.

I have to say that Jia Xu's vision is quite vicious, almost playing with high-ranking celebrities like Yuan Shao and Han Fu between applause.

Thinking of this, Dong Zhuo felt a lot of relief and sighed: "I have been in the army since I was a child, and I have been marching and fighting battles, relying on courage, orders and prohibitions, and clear rewards and punishments. ”

Jia Xu said a few words modestly and said: "Xiangguo is too modest, compared to what Xiangguo has done, I am not worth mentioning." Governing the country with righteousness, using soldiers with odds, and doing what the country does is the right way in the world. ”

Dong Zhuo accepted Jia Xu's flattering words and laughed for a while.

Jia Xu sat down and closed his eyes and said nothing.

Dong Zhuo's mastermind is Jia Xu, but when it comes to military strategy, it is headed by Li Ru. Li Ru was also in the tent at this time, and after listening to the conversation between the two, he touched his beard and said, "Ming Gong, I also agree with what Wen He said, there will be an internal fight in Jingzhou soon." In addition to Jingzhou, Han Fu and Yuan Shao in Jizhou are also secretly intriguing, I heard that Han Fu has slowly reduced the military rations shipped to Hanoi and Suojube, combined with the previous performance of the princes, Jizhou and Yanzhou are no longer worried. In this way, I implore Ming Gong to give an order to let Generals Hu and Xu Er lead their troops south, cut off the troops of Xu, Cao, and Sun, and the overall situation can be determined in a battle. ”

"Well, I sent someone to persuade me to surrender a few days ago, and that's exactly what I meant." Dong Zhuo said proudly. On the one hand, he sent people to persuade him to surrender, and on the other hand, he secretly sent troops. In addition to targeting Xu Chu and others, he also asked Niu Fu to cross the river again, in order to strike at Yuan Shao again.

Originally, it was taboo to change the order of the day, especially when marching and fighting. Dong Zhuo previously ordered Hu Zhen and Xu Rong to withdraw from the army, and now they have joined forces with Lu Bu to send troops again, but it was because of Jia Xu's calculations.

Jia Xu believes that after Hu and Xu retreated, Xu Chu and others must be careless, thinking that Dong Zhuo intends to stick to the pass and does not want to cause trouble. Using this psychology, there is an opportunity to drive Xu Chu and others out of Liang County and return to their own territory.

The only downside is that it is difficult for Lu Bu and Hu Zhen to work together. So Jia Xu also added a point, asking Dong Zhuo to let Xu Rong and Lu Bu be a part and Hu Zhen to be a part. Xu Rong is spicy and calm, Lu Bu is brave and invincible, and the two of them mainly attack Liang County. Hu Zhen led his troops from Dagu Pass to Wushi County, and set off from Yuyuan Pass to attack Yingchuan County.
