Chapter Forty-Nine: Jia Xu, the Poisoner of the Troubled Country

"Boom! Boom! Knock ......"

Accompanied by the sound of war drums, more than a dozen generals in black armor entered the hall of the Meiyang County Ya in turn.

Dong Zhuo wore a black robe and black armor, and wore a white tiger skin, sitting upright behind the handsome case in the lobby, Li Ruwei coveted the left and right, and Huaxiong and Dong Huang each led a cadre to separate the school on both sides of the lobby.

All the generals stepped forward together, bowed to Dong Zhuo together, and bowed: "See the lord." ”

Dong Zhuo's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Everyone is exempt!" ”

After all the generals stood still, Dong Zhuo said expressionlessly: "Everyone is here?" ”

Dong Huang had already jumped out and said sharply: "Lord Qiqi!" Only the general Zhou Shen and the three other horses under his command did not arrive, and all the others arrived. ”

When Dong Zhuo heard this, his expression was not very good, he was busy dealing with Bian Zhang Han Sui recently, but he forgot about this week.

He just habitually asked before the meeting, if Dong Huang hadn't jumped out and said that Zhou Shen hadn't come, he wouldn't have remembered the existence of this person at all.

It's just that Dong Zhuo is beating drums and gathering generals today, but Zhou Shen and the generals under his command are not there, which is not a good sign.

It seems that it is time to be cautious about that week, otherwise he has five thousand soldiers and horses in his hands, and it will not be good if he gets into any trouble.

"Smack~"

After everything was taken care of, Dong Zhuo lowered his face, picked up the Xingmu with his right hand and slapped it on the handsome case, and shouted in a deep voice: "Dong Huang, you lead someone to Zhou Shen's mansion and bring him to a certain family!" ”

Dong Huang's face flashed with joy, he had long wanted to find trouble with Zhou Shen, but he was afraid that Dong Zhuo would blame him, so he didn't dare to make a move, but now with Dong Zhuo's order, he could attack Zhou Shen unscrupulously.

"The last will be ordered!"

Dong Huang immediately responded with a fist, strode out of the lobby, led hundreds of horses, and went to find Zhou Shen's trouble.

After Dong Huang left, Dong Zhuo continued to speak: "This morning, there is a report from Wugong City Pegasus, Huangfu Jianshou, Xu Rong, Gao Shun, and Xu Huang will break Han Sui last night, killing 10,000 enemies and capturing 5,000, only Han Sui led hundreds of remnants of the army to flee in defeat. As a result, the enemy army was left with only 40,000 soldiers and horses outside the city......"

"Newspaper~"

Dong Zhuo was talking, a hurried voice came, and the little colonel guarding the door walked in quickly, knelt down on one knee, and said: "Qi Lord, just now the East Gate guard came to report, saying that General Zhou Shen led thousands of men and horses, and lied that he was ordered by the lord's army to go out of the city on business. ”

"What? That week Shen ran away? ”

A voice like thunder rang out, full of disbelief and irrepressible anger in his tone. But Hua Xiong jumped out, pressed the sword with his right hand, and the thunderous voice sounded again, "Lord, I will lead the troops to chase after me, and I will definitely arrest Zhou Shen's gang and hand it over to the lord!" ”

Saying that, Hua Xiong didn't wait for Dong Zhuo to agree, and ran out with his sword.

"You come back to me!"

Dong Zhuo stopped Hua Xiong and said slowly: "There are 40,000 soldiers and horses in Bianzhang outside the city, and the soldiers in my Meiyang City lost 1,000 in the last battle with Li Wenhou, only 15,000 remaining, and now Zhou Shen has taken away 5,000, so there are only 10,000 soldiers and horses in the city, if you chase and kill Zhou Shen, the defenders in the city are only thousands, in case the soldiers in the city lead the army to attack, what should I do at that time?" ”

When Hua Xiong heard this, he had to return to his seat stupidly.

Dong Zhuo really didn't expect this Zhou Shen to be so bold and dare to lead his troops out of the city and run away. In fact, a little Zhou Shen, Dong Zhuo doesn't look at it yet, but what Dong Zhuo really cares about is Zhou Shen's 5,000 soldiers and horses.

Dong Zhuo couldn't help but feel a little remorseful, when Dong Huang wanted to kill Zhou Shen, he took into account that the impact was not very good, so he stopped him, thinking of a good way to seize Zhou Shen's military power, and then clean up Zhou Shen, I didn't want him to ignore it, and let that Zhou Shen run away, I knew this, it was better to let Dong Huang kill Zhou Shen at the beginning, so that although I had a bad reputation for selfishness, at least Zhou Shen's five thousand soldiers and horses could still be held in his own hands.

It seems that this man can't be too greedy! If Dong Zhuo hadn't been too greedy and wanted fame and fortune, he wouldn't have ended up in the whole chicken and egg fight.

Shaking his head helplessly, Dong Zhuo smiled bitterly: "Bo Jiao, you immediately write a memo to the imperial court for me, explaining that our army killed Li Wenhou and broke Han Sui, and in addition, inform the imperial court that Zhou Shen led the troops to defect when the war was imminent."

Wen Zheng, you write a letter for me and inform the general He Jin of this matter. ”

"Whoa!"

Li Ruwei and the two immediately saluted.

"Uncle ......"

A hurried voice came, and it was Dong Huang, who went to find Zhou Shen, who returned in vain.

Dong Huang hurriedly walked in, bowed to Dong Zhuo, and said, "Lord, Zhou Shen led 5,000 soldiers and horses from the east gate of the headquarters, and now there are only 10,000 soldiers and horses in the city, what should we do now?" ”

Dong Zhuo was a little surprised, looked at Dong Huang and said, "Why didn't you lead the troops out of the city to chase and kill that Zhou Shen?" ”

That knew that Dong Huang said righteously: "The last general also wants to chase after him, but without the order of the lord's army, how dare he transfer troops and horses without authorization?" What's more, now there are only 10,000 soldiers and horses left in the city, if the last general leads the troops to chase, there are too few defenders in the city, what if something happens? Although the last general has a gap with that week, how dare the last general abolish the public for personal reasons? ”

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he turned his head and glanced at Li Ru, then nodded slowly, and laughed, "I don't want my son to grow a lot!" My son can have such insight, why should a certain family worry about leaving Zhou Shen's 5,000 soldiers and horses. ”

Dong Huang was extremely happy to receive such praise from Dong Zhuo, and hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you uncle for the praise, the little nephew is ashamed!" ”

When it was over, Dong Huang said again: "By the way, uncle, the little nephew caught a scholar, but it was Zhou Shen's main book, Liangzhou Wuwei people's family, named Jia Xu, I don't know what to do?" ”

"Who?"

Dong Zhuo was shocked when he heard this, and asked anxiously, "Who did you catch?" ”

Dong Huang was a little puzzled, what's wrong with my uncle, didn't he just grab a small master book, as for being so excited?

Although he had doubts in his heart, Dong Huang didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly said: "Zhou Shen's main book, Jia Xu, Wuwei Gu Zangren!" ”

"Hahaha......"

Dong Zhuo immediately looked up to the sky and laughed when he heard this.

Dong Huang looked at Dong Zhuo and asked cautiously, "Why is my uncle laughing so much?" The little nephew just grabbed the little master book, why is the uncle so happy? ”

Dong Zhuo changed his previous depression and said with a smile: "If you lose the east, you will reap the mulberry." I didn't want to go 5,000 soldiers and horses, but I got a Jia Wenhe!

Shaojin, you go and bring Jia Wenhe to a certain family. ”

Dong Huang was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously, "Jia Wenhe?" Uncle is talking about that Jia Xu? ”

Dong Zhuo was in a good mood at the moment, and patiently explained: "That's right, it's the Jia Xu you caught and brought him up!" ”

Jia Xu, the poisoner of the troubled country, is a figure that Dong Zhuo wants to recruit under his command day and night.

Among the strategists in the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty, in addition to his son-in-law Li Ru, the poisoner Jia Xu Jia Wenhe, the ghost talent Guo Jia Guo Fengxiao, the phoenix pang tong Pang Shiyuan, Lu Su Lu Zijing, and Xu Shu Xu Yuanzhi, these six people are the strategist camp that Dong Zhuo has always dreamed of building.

Jia Xu's ability is beyond doubt, in this era of generals and ministers, Jia Xu's resourcefulness can be said to be among the top three.

In "Tang Hui Yao", Jia Xu is listed as the first of the "Eight Gentlemen of Wei and Jin".

is full of tricks, and there is no last resort, and he is talking about Jia Xu. Jia Xu didn't have many schemes, but none of them were wrong or missing.

The first time was after Dong Zhuo's death, Jia Xu suggested that Li Dao and Guo Yan counterattack Chang'an, which resulted in the last bit of majesty of the Han Dynasty being trampled on by Li Dao and Guo Yan.

Later, Zhang Xiu defeated Cao Cao twice under Jia Xu's strategy, allowing Cao Cao to fold his eldest son Cao Ang and the general Dian Wei.

After returning to Cao Cao, Jia Xu also made a lot of contributions to Cao Wei, and before the battle of Guandu, Jia Xu advocated a decisive battle with Yuan Shao.

Before the Battle of Chibi, Jia Xu thought that the north should be stabilized first, and it was not appropriate to mobilize the troops to go on an expedition, but Cao Cao did not listen, and the result was a fiasco.

After that, Jia Xu offered a plan to divide Ma Chao and Han Sui and pacify Guanzhong.

After Cao Pi became the emperor, he wanted to conquer Jiangdong in person, but Jia Xu still thought that it was not suitable to go on the expedition, but Cao Pi did not listen, and as a result, he lost his troops and returned to the army.
