Liu Xie is very self-aware, knowing that with his current conditions, it is almost impossible to make Jia Xu return to his heart. It is precisely because of this self-knowledge that Liu Xie made a deal with Jia Xu. In front of the ancestors of the Liu family, Jia Xu made a promise, and what he got was that Jia Xu helped Liu Xie persuade the Xiliang army outside the city, especially Li Wei and Guo Yan, to quietly lead their troops back to Xiliang.

Jia Xu is a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and he can do whatever it takes to survive. In history, if Wang Yun had not insisted on going his own way and had to liquidate Dong Zhuo's remnants, Jia Xu would not have persuaded Li Dao and Guo Yan to raise troops to attack Chang'an. According to Jia Xu's character, he doesn't care about high-ranking officials, but he is such a person who doesn't care about high-ranking officials, and he has peeled off the last fig leaf of the Han family.

There are gods in the first three feet, even if Jia Xu is wise, but he is still in awe of ghosts and gods, seeing Liu Xie swearing to him in front of the spirit card of the ancestors of the Liu family and making a promise, Jia Xu believed Liu Xie. He didn't care about Liu Xie's official wish, of course, Liu Xie didn't make a wish to Jia Xu as an official, but only agreed to Jia Xu's request to wait until the situation stabilized and allow Jia Xu to return to his hometown with his family.

Sometimes, good promises don't touch the hearts of smart people, but seemingly ordinary promises are easier to believe.

……

Knowing that Jia Xu was visiting, Li Wei was still a little puzzled. Although the two of them both serve in Dong Zhuojun, in fact, the two usually have no friendship. As for Jia Xu's understanding, Li Wei is limited to knowing that this person is Niu Fu's subordinate, and the rest is not very good. Now that he heard that Jia Xu was visiting, Li Wei thought that Jia Xu had come to discuss something on the order of Niu Fu.

However, after seeing Jia Xu and listening to the news brought by Jia Xu, Li Wei first didn't believe it, and then panicked. The Taishi is dead! What a joke! Although he was not convinced by Lu Bu in his heart, Li Dao had to admit that Lu Bu's martial arts were indeed a little higher than his own.

Who could hurt the Taishi in front of Lu Bu? What the? Is it Lu Bu's hand? Then it's no wonder.

"General Li, I wonder where you will go next?" Jia Xu asked softly.

“…… Mr. Jia, I don't know what Niu Fu's plans are? Li Dao asked rhetorically when he heard this.

Jia Xu didn't answer immediately, glanced at Li Wei, and said slowly: "Why does General Li think that Jia is here for Niu Fu?" ”

Li Wei was stunned for a moment, frowned and asked, "Isn't Mr. Jia from Niu Fu?" ”

"Good birds choose trees to perch, now that Dong Zhuo is dead, if we don't find a way out early, will we be buried for Dong Zhuo? That Niu Fu is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, and the court may not spare it. Jia and Dong Zhuo are not related, why do they want to wade into this troubled water? ”

"In that case, I wonder who Mr. Jia is here on behalf of this time?"

"General Li, the Ming people don't say secret words, dare to ask General Li, can you be sure to deal with Lu Bu's Hezhou Iron Cavalry?"

"Uh...... If it's just me, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it, but if I can contact Guo Yan, Zhang Ji and others, it's not without a fight. ”

"Hmm...... General Lee is quite self-aware. It's just that General Li should not forget, the surname of this world is Liu, if you unite everyone to attack Chang'an, then the infamy of this national thief, General Li, you will recite it, although the world is big, but there is no place to stand, has General Li ever thought about it? ”

“…… Mr. Jia, please speak up, Li Dao is a rough man, and he is really not good at playing dumb riddles with Mr. ”

"Okay, since General Li said so, then Jia will not play dumb riddles with General Li. In fact, Dong Zhuo's death is also an opportunity for General Li, imagine if Dong Zhuo does not die, when will General Li come out. This Xiliang Army, whose surname was Dong before, will have his surname in the future, and it depends on whether General Li can seize the opportunity in front of him. ”

Hearing this, Li Dao came to his senses. Who wouldn't want to be the boss? Seeing Dong Zhuo's scenery, Li Dao said that it was impossible not to envy it, but Dong Zhuo was powerful, and Li Dao had ideas, but he could only hide them in his heart, and he usually didn't dare to show it in the slightest. But now that Dong Zhuo is dead, being reminded by Jia Xu like this, the little ambition that Li Dao has always hidden in his heart has also been hooked out.

"Why did Mr. Jia say that?"

General Li was confused, thinking that Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo, although he won the trust of the imperial court, but at the same time lost the hearts of the Xiliang army. And this Xiliang Army is now leaderless, Niu Fu is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, presumably it is impossible for the imperial court to let the Xiliang Army continue to be controlled by people who have a relationship with Dong Zhuo, so in this way, who can become the next commander of the Xiliang Army? In this Xiliang army, in addition to the generals, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji, Fan Chou and others all have opportunities. ”

“…… Guo Yan shouldn't fight with me, right? Li Dao frowned and said.

"Okay, even if General Guo doesn't fight with the general, what about Zhang Ji and Fan Chou? Are these two General Li sure that they will be willing to serve the general? ”

“…… Mr. Jia, didn't you come to persuade Li Dao to strike first? Li Wei looked at Jia Xu with a strange expression and asked.

"General, don't misunderstand, although Jia is a lobbyist, he doesn't want to see the Xiliang Army kill each other, and finally cheapen Lu Bu, who is eyeing the Xiliang Army."

“…… Whose lobbyist is that gentleman? ”

"Since the general doesn't want to face Zhang Ji and Fan Choudao, the only way to make these two people bow their heads is to take advantage of the situation and force people with momentum, so that these two people have to bow to the general. And to whom the general borrows the momentum, it is natural to borrow from the current saint. ”

“…… You were sent by the little emperor? Li Dao said with some surprise.

"General, although the saint is not very old, he is a saint after all, and he can say a word that is more effective than the general saying hundreds of words. Let's not talk about anything else, the general might as well think about it, if the general can get Lu Bu's support, who in the Xiliang army would dare to be the enemy of the general? ”

“…… Mr. Jia, let's not talk about anything else, but Lu Bu, can he listen to the little emperor? Li Dao asked in disbelief.

"Huh...... General, although Lu Bu will not listen to the words of the saint directly, but you must not forget that the woman that Lu Bu is infatuated with is Wang Yun's righteous daughter, as long as the saint says to Wang Yun, with Wang Yun's temperament, how can he not want to persuade Lu Bu to obey orders. ”

“…… Then why did the saint take a fancy to Li Dao? Li Dao was moved, but he was still a little uneasy.

"General, there are two reasons why the Holy Lord takes a fancy to you, one is that the general's ability is the most outstanding in the Xiliang Army, and you are the only one who can compete with Lu Bu. Dong Zhuo is dead, and Lu Bu's family is dominant, which is not what the saint wants to see, and the general is the candidate used by the saint to balance Lu Bu. As for the second reason, the general has only a subordinate relationship with Dong Zhuo, unlike Niu Fu, Zhang Ji and others who are either Dong Zhuo's relatives or cronies, and they are trustworthy. ”

Everyone loves to hear good things! Although Li Wei was not coaxed by Jia Xu to find the north in a few words, he was still a little fluttering, and a feeling of being alone arose.

Jia Xu is worthy of being a poisoner, and the mouth that can tell the dead to live is flickered, and finally let Li Dao take the bait. Of course, this is also related to the price code offered by Liu Xie. Reluctant to let the child catch the wolf, reluctant to let the daughter-in-law catch the hooligan, this kind of thing is something that many people dream of but can't get. Don't look at Dong Zhuo as the prime minister, but in the Xiliang army, except for Lu Bu, who was made a marquis of the capital, the rest of the people like Li Dao and Guo Yan have always had nothing to do with them.

And Liu Xie, as soon as he made a move, was Chiyang Hou, General Yangwu. At this time, Li Dao had already captured Chang'an in history and had controlled Liu Xie in his hands, and he had not yet digested the news of Dong Zhuo's death. Originally, he was feeling confused about his future, Liu Xie extended an olive branch at this time, and Li Dao naturally grabbed it first without hesitation.

persuaded Li Dao, Jia Xu did not leave in a hurry, Li Dao and Guo Yan have always been Meng does not leave the focus, Jiao does not leave Meng, now Li Dao is not panicked, and naturally thinks of his good brother. Seeing Li Dao seeking an official for Guo Yan, Jia Xu couldn't help but be secretly frightened in his heart, not because of Li Dao, but before leaving the palace, Liu Xie had already asserted that Li Dao would definitely pull Guo Yan to advance and retreat together, Jia Xu didn't believe it at first, but at this time he had to believe it.

General Yang Lie, Marquis of Meiyang, this is the price code for Guo Yan. With Jia Xu's tongue as bright as a spring, and Li Wei on the side constantly beating the side drum, Guo Yan quickly accepted it. And with the surrender of Li Dao and Guo Yan, Zhang Ji and Fan Chou also bowed their heads one after another and agreed to Liu Xie's solicitation.

Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Army, in addition to the Bingzhou Army under Lu Bu, Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji, Fan Chou, and Niu Fu controlled the vast majority of the Xiliang Army. At present, four of these five people have accepted Liu Xie's reward, and the rest of Niu Fu seems to be alone. The news of Dong Zhuo's death had already reached the camp of the Xiliang Army at this time, and in addition to the Xiliang Army under Niu Fu, the remaining four people's military camp reacted a little calmly to the news.

As Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, now that his father-in-law has been killed, Niu Fu of course wants to take revenge, but he is afraid of Lu Bu and does not dare to send troops alone to take revenge.

Li Dao and the others came, but their reaction disappointed Niu Fu. Li Dao's gang didn't seem to be worried about their fate at all. They didn't have to worry, not long after Jia Xu persuaded Li Dao and the others, the pardon on behalf of the imperial court and the holy decree of the feudal marquis were sent to the hands of the four of them.

Today's Li Wei is Chiyang Hou, Guo Yan is Meiyang Hou, as for Zhang Ji and Fan Chou, they are also Wannian Hou and Pingyang Hou respectively. Compared with Niu Fu, who is not relied on by Siliu, Li Dao and others are full of everything, so they are naturally unwilling to follow Niu Fu to attack Chang'an to avenge the dead Dong Zhuo.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are deeply favored by the Taishi, and now that the Taishi is in trouble, aren't you worried about your own life at all?" Niu Fu was really a little anxious, and his voice couldn't help but be louder.

“…… General Niu's words are also reasonable, but I don't know what General Niu thinks? Li Dao asked.

Seeing that someone finally spoke, Niu Fu hurriedly replied: "I intend to break through Chang'an to avenge the Taishi, I wonder if you are willing to help Niu Fu?" Niu Fu can assure you that after the deed is completed, he will not treat you badly. ”

Without waiting for the others to react, Li Dao preemptively said: "Okay, according to what General Niu said, I will go back and order all the soldiers and horses, rush to join the general, and then we will enter Chang'an together to avenge the Taishi." ”

"Okay, that's a deal. Niu Fu swore that after the deed was completed, he would not treat you badly. ”

Li Dao and the others went out of Niu Fu's camp, and they didn't break up in a hurry, seeing that there were no outsiders around, Fan Chou asked Li Dao: "Childish, that Niu Fu naturally wants to find death, you just let him go, why bother to go to this troubled water?" ”

Without waiting for Li Wei to answer, Guo Yan on the side had already sneered and said, "Lao Fan, do you think that if you don't agree, will we still be able to leave alive?" ”

"Not really, right?" Zhang Ji was a little skeptical of Guo Yan's words.

"Not really? Very much! You didn't listen to the tone of his Niu Fu's words, as if he was already the next coach of the Xiliang Army. Won't you treat me badly? Was I a subordinate of his Niu Fu before? ”

"So what now? Is it really to order troops to attack Chang'an? Fan Chou couldn't help but ask.

"The soldiers are the point, but they are not going to attack Chang'an." Li Wei sneered and said: "The imperial court has not only forgiven our sins, but also added officials to us. Since he Niu Fu is unkind, then don't blame us for being unjust. ”

"Childish, you're going to kill him?" Guo Yan was a little surprised when he heard this.

"If he doesn't die, we will definitely lose the trust of the court. Originally, he Niu Fu was Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, and sooner or later he would be liquidated by the imperial court, so it was better for us to give him a ride now and save him from suffering in the future. ”

Although the four of them all have titles, because Li Dao is the first person Jia Xu is looking for, the four of them are all headed by Li Dao, since Li Dao is determined to get rid of Niu Fu, Guo Wei and the others have no more objections.

Niu Fu was looking forward to Li Dao and others leading their troops to converge, and then go with him to attack Chang'an. Unexpectedly, it was not a friendly army waiting for them, but a group of killing gods. Because of the lack of preparedness in advance, Niu Fu's army was killed and defeated, Niu Fu himself died in the chaos, and the Xiliang army, which was not very united, also became more cautious with each other because of Niu Fu's death.

……

Changan

Back in Chang'an, Jia Xu saw Liu Xie, who he hadn't seen for a few days, one was to restore his life, and the other was to resign to Liu Xie. But when he saw Liu Xie, Jia Xu couldn't help but be taken aback, Liu Xie in front of him was in very poor spirits, and the two dark circles reminded Jia Xu that Liu Xie in front of him hadn't had a good rest in the past few days.

"It's been a hard few days?" Jia Xu asked tentatively.

"Ah, it's okay, it took a lot of time and effort to convince those old ministers. Mr. Jia has worked hard, and this time he was able to stabilize the Xiliang Army, and Mr. Jia has made great contributions. ”

......As soon as Jia Xu said this, he saw Liu Xie yawning a lot, Liu Xie rubbed his eyes and said apologetically to Jia Xu: "Don't blame Mr. Jia, tell me what you did when you went to Li Wei's army, although it has temporarily stabilized the Xiliang army, it is not a matter to keep the Xiliang army near Chang'an, and you still need to find a way to transfer it to Xiliang as soon as possible." ”

Seeing Liu Xie's inquiry, Jia Xu had no choice but to tell his experience in Li Weijun, but as soon as he was halfway through, Jia Xu couldn't continue, because Liu Xie actually fell asleep while sitting. As a courtier, Jia Xu naturally didn't want to wake up Liu Xie at this time, and if he resigned, it would be even more unspeakable.

"Mr. Jia, please come with the slave maid." A small yellow door stepped forward and whispered to Jia Xu.

"What?"

"The Holy One has confessed that when the gentleman leaves, he will give some things to the gentleman."

"This father-in-law, the saint has been working hard these days?" Jia Xu asked tentatively.

"Back to Mr. Jia's words, the saint has been really hard these days, although the slave doesn't know what the saint is discussing with you, but it can be seen that the lords are very disapproving of the saint's decision, but in the end they were persuaded by the saint."

Hearing Xiao Huangmen's reply, Jia Xu couldn't help but become interested in how Liu Xie persuaded Wang Yun and others. It's just that now that Liu Xie is asleep, he can't wake up and ask what is going on, so he can only leave first and come back another day.

Sitting in his own carriage, Jia Xu spread out a roll of maps sent by the little yellow door. The picture is a map of the territory of the Han Dynasty, but the states and counties that have been painted with different colors on it made Jia Xu stunned, and after looking at it for a while, he realized that the different colors represent the different forces in various parts of the Han Dynasty today, among which the place that represents the orthodoxy of the Han dynasty is only Yongzhou.

"It seems that compared to Wang Situ's old ministers, this little emperor is quite self-aware." Jia Xu said to himself while looking at the map.

Everyone has a heart for fame and fortune, the difference is only the difference in severity, and Jia Xu is no exception. It's just that Jia Xu has a bad background and a bad career, and over time, he will look down on the word fame and fortune. Doing things for Niu Fu is just to support his family, otherwise with Jia Xu's ability, he shouldn't be worse than Li Ru. But Jia Xu didn't show himself in Dong Zhuojun, first, Jia Xu saw that Dong Zhuofei was the master, and he didn't want to be implicated too much in the future. The second is that Jia Xu's heart for fame and fortune has faded, as the so-called desirelessness is rigid, since Jia Xu is not too extravagant for high-ranking officials, he is naturally not interested in going to the camp.

He originally planned to take his family back to his hometown for the rest of his life after this matter, but after looking at the map of the territory of the Han Dynasty that Liu Xie asked Xiao Huangmen to transfer to him, Jia Xu suddenly became a little interested in Liu Xie, the little emperor, and wanted to see what kind of things this little guy who recognized reality and understood his current situation could do in this troubled era.

Because of this interest, Jia Xu's original resignation faded. When he returned home, Dong Zhuo was now dead, and Wang Yun didn't have to worry that Jia Xu would go to report the news, so he sent Jia's mother, who had stayed in Wang's house to recuperate, back to Jia's house. Not to mention, the imperial doctor's shot is extraordinary, Jia Mu originally saw that it was about to end, but now her spirit is good. When he saw his son coming back, he immediately asked with a smile: "Wen and my son, are you back?" ”

"The child worries the mother."

"It's good to come back, it's good to come back." Jia Mu helped Jia Xu up and said in a voice.
