After Li Dao and Guo Yan occupied Chang'an, Liu Xie actually missed Dong Zhuo a little, and he finally understood what it meant to be in the midst of happiness and not knowing happiness. You must know that when Dong Zhuo was alive, at most he played with palace maids and bullied hundreds of officials, which was still good for Liu Xie. But Li and Guo were moody, and the arrogance on their bodies made Liu Xie even more frightened.

Especially after Li and Guo killed Wang Yun's family, looking at Liu Xie's eyes, it was as if they were looking at the slaughtered lamb. There were even several times, Li Dao and Guo Yan tried to kill Liu Xie to stand on his own, if it wasn't for Zhang Ji, Fan Chou and others to stop him, Liu Xie might have been killed. However, because of this, Liu Xie is much more honest!

Liu Xie yearns for power, and even his brother Liu Bian can't tolerate it, how can he endure the bullying of Li and Guo. So, Liu Xie secretly sent people to contact the courtiers, hoping that someone could get rid of Li and Guo. Although Wang Yun's death made the courtiers feel a little cold, there were still many people loyal to the Han family.

At the suggestion of Ma Yu, the counselor Shao, and the general Liu Fan of Zuo Zhonglang, Liu Xie named Ma Teng as the general of Zhengxi and Han Sui as the general of Zhenxi, and gave them a secret edict, ordering them to work together to fight the thief.

Ma Teng and Han Sui naturally did not dare to slack off when they received the holy decree, and immediately swore in Wuwei to raise troops, and led more than 100,000 troops to Chang'an. But they forgot that it was Dong Zhuo who defeated them back then. Now, the forces of Li Dao and Guo Yan are taken over from Dong Zhuo, and the military strength is not inferior to Dong Zhuo, and Jia Xu is helping him, how can Ma and Han be opponents?

Ma and Han were defeated, if it weren't for Fan Chou's unbearable heart and a little slackness on the way to pursuit, Han Sui would have been left in Chang'an forever. However, Fan Chou was killed by Li Wei because of his benevolence.

Fan Chou is a veteran general under Dong Zhuo, who has fought side by side with Li Dao and Guo Yan for more than ten years, and Li Dao did not hesitate to kill him, which made Zhang Ji, who was also Dong Zhuo's old general, a little scared. So, Zhang Ji found Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu to discuss how to break away from Li Dao and Guo Xu.

Jia Xu, an old fox, was not ready to die for anyone, and he helped Li and Guo, but he just didn't want to be implicated by Dong Zhuo. With Jia Xu's wisdom, of course he could see that Li Dao and Guo Yan could not last long, so he had already thought of leaving, but he didn't know how to choose. Now Zhang Ji also wants to leave, and he hits it off.

With Jia Xu's idea, there is naturally no problem in preserving Zhang Ji, but how to choose is a very troublesome matter. If there was no Liu Zhang, Jia Xu would definitely suggest that Zhang Ji go to Wancheng.

Now, Liu Zhang is in Xichuan, and he and Zhang Xiu have the same friendship. In troubled times, if you don't have great ambition and ambition, the best way to preserve it is to find a strong and promising prince to take refuge. In Jia Xu's eyes, Liu Zhang is not only powerful, but also very wise. More importantly, the relationship between Zhang Xiu and Liu Zhang can make Zhang Xiu develop better.

In the conference hall, looking at Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew, thinking about how good Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew used to be, Jia Xu hesitated for a long time before asking in a deep voice: "Dare to ask the two generals, now that they are in troubled times, I don't know what the two of you think?" ”

"What does Mr. Jia mean?" Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu glanced at each other, they didn't understand what Jia Xu meant.

Jia Xu smiled and asked: "What do you mean, do the two generals want to find a prince to take refuge in, or become a prince?" ”

"This..."Zhang Ji asked, "Is there any difference?" ”

Jia Xu said: "Now is the troubled times, if you are a prince, you will face the danger of being annexed. If the world is about to be unified, it will be annexed, and there will be worries about the surname. However, if the two generals are capable, they may be able to unify the world! ”

"Dominate the world!" Zhang Xiu's eyes shot a glimmer of light, and he seemed to be a little moved.

"Smack!" Zhang Ji slapped Zhang Xiu's head and said, "Don't dream in vain, you kid!" Is the world so unified? Usually on that little military affairs, you are bitter, if you are allowed to govern the world, sooner or later I will be cut off from the Zhang family! ”

Zhang Xiu touched the place where Zhang Ji was pumped, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Uncle, I'm just thinking about it, you don't have to be so ruthless!" ”

"Don't even think about it!" Zhang Ji sneered: "You must know that once you have any extravagant hopes, it is easy to cause death." Take Lu Bu as an example, don't look at him killing Ding Yuan and Dong Xiang, the scenery is infinite for a while, but he is not far from death! Once ambition is created, it is not so easy to fade. ”

"Uncle, I know!" Zhang Xiu can disagree with anyone, but he can't disagree with this uncle who raised him since he was a child. Don't look at Zhang Xiu calling Zhang Ji his uncle, in Zhang Xiu's heart, Zhang Ji has always been his father.

Seeing that Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu were so self-aware, Jia Xu nodded with great satisfaction. To be honest, if Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiuzhen were ready to compete for the world, Jia Xu would leave without hesitation. Because in Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu, there is no bearing of the master. Even if there were, Jia Xu would not take such a risk and choose a prince who was still under the fence.

After teaching his nephew a lesson, Zhang Ji smiled and asked: "Mr. Jia, Xiu'er and I don't have the intention of dominating the world, so should we find a prince to take refuge?" ”

"Yes!" Jia Xu said with a smile on his face: "Originally, if there was no such person, I would suggest that the two of you find a place to hibernate, and when the situation of the world is clear, then take refuge in one of the princes." But now, I suggest you both defect to him! ”

"Who can be so valued by Mr. Jia?" When Zhang Ji heard this, he was surprised.

You must know that Jia Xu is the most lazy, if he is not involved, he will never take the initiative to say a word. It's unprecedented to say good things for others now.

Jia Xu said with a smile: "Naturally, it is General Zhang Xiao's junior brother, Yizhou Mu Liu Zhang!" ”

"Liu Jiyu?" Zhang Ji smiled: "If I remember correctly, Liu Zhang is only in his early twenties this year. Although he has made a lot of achievements, he is not worthy of such praise from Mr. ”

"Definitely!" Jia Xu said: "Ambition is not in old age! Xi Ganluo worshiped the prime minister at the age of twelve, and Xiang Lu was a Confucius teacher at the age of seven, how could he despise him because of his young age? Imagine back then, He Jin recruited all foreign fans to enter Beijing, if Liu Zhang was willing to come, with his strength, what would happen to Prime Minister Dong Cheng? But Liu Zhang didn't come! As it turned out, he was right not to come! ”

"It's... Is Mr. Jia saying that the champion Hou deliberately did not obey the edict and let Dong Xiang take charge of Chang'an? Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu glanced at each other, they didn't have Jia Xu's vision, but they could understand Jia Xu's analysis.

"Two generals, just imagine!" Jia Xu said with a smile: "Champion Hou once used 80,000 troops to block the prime minister's 100,000 army, who dares to guarantee that Champion Hou has no other troops?" As far as I know, the champion Hou Pingding Yizhou used at least 100,000 troops, while his enemies had a full 230,000 troops. Maybe the Yizhou soldiers are not as good as the Liangzhou soldiers, but before entering Beijing, Prime Minister Dong Cheng only had 200,000 troops! As long as the champion Hou uses the people of his headquarters to block the prime minister, and then absorbs the people of Luoyang, Prime Minister Dong will not be able to enter Beijing! But Champion Hou didn't do this, why? ”

"Could it be that he had long expected the end of Dong Xiang?" Zhang Xiu's eyes widened, he knew that his little junior brother was powerful, but he didn't expect Liu Zhang to be so powerful.

Jia Xu nodded and said: "There are only two possibilities for mastering Luoyang, one is to compromise with the family family, and maybe it can make the Han Dynasty prosperous again, but it will definitely not be more successful than Emperor Guangwu, let alone Gaozu." The second is to go against the family, if you succeed, you will surpass Guangwu and Gaozu, and if you fail, you will die without a place to be buried! Dong Xiang chose the second way and went against the family, but it caused the world to be dissatisfied! How powerful the power of the family in the world is, the fate of Dong Xiang can be imagined! ”

"As Mr. said, sooner or later, the champion Hou will be the enemy of the family, and it is only a matter of time before he perishes!" Zhang Xiu looked puzzled, he was also the enemy of the world's family, but it was only sooner or later. Could it be that later, Liu Zhang will be able to wipe out the world's great families?

"Don't underestimate this sooner or later, if you grasp it properly, the champion Hou may not be able to create a great cause that surpasses Gaozu! The thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, as long as the champion Hou Nai's surname is lowered, one state and one state will be cleaned up, and after reunification, the world will exist in name only! Of course, it depends on the means of the champion Hou! Although Jia Xu's statement is not complete, he has already guessed Liu Zhang's thoughts. If Liu Zhang was here, he would definitely introduce Jia Xu as a confidant.

"So, Mr. Jia suggested that we go to Liu Zhang?" Zhang Ji said very seriously: "We used to be under the command of Prime Minister Dong Cheng, will the champion Hou take us in?" ”

"Of course!" Jia Xu said with a smile: "If it is someone else, Champion Hou may have to think about it, but if it is General Zhang, Champion Hou will definitely greet him in person!" ”

"Just because Xiu'er is the senior brother of the champion Hou?" Zhang Ji suddenly realized that he also accepted Jia Xu's statement.

Jia Xu nodded and was just about to speak, when a junior colonel broke into the conference hall and said, "General Zhang, the two generals Li Dao and Guo Yan invite you to the palace to discuss matters!" ”

"I don't know what's going on?" Since Fan Chou was killed, Zhang Ji has tried to show up and talk as little as possible, for fear of being killed by Li Dao and Guo Yan, and now he is a little scared when he hears that Li Dao and Guo Bi have summoned him.

The little colonel replied: "I don't know the specific situation, but it is said that it is for Ma Teng and Han Sui's offense!" ”

"Oh! Go down! Zhang Ji sent the colonel away and turned his head to look at Jia Xu.

Jia Xu bowed down and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the general, you can rely on this matter to get out of Chang'an!" ”

"Oh?" Zhang Ji smiled and asked, "Didn't Mr. Jia ask me to guard against Ma Teng and Han Sui, but he turned around and went to Yizhou?" ”

"That's exactly what it means!" Jia Xu touched the goatee under his chin with a smile.

Zhang Ji said with a smile: "In this case, I will ask Li and Guo to return to Liangzhou today!" ”

Jia Xu helped Zhang Ji to make suggestions, just to leave Chang'an, how could he let Zhang Ji run away alone, he said with a smile: "I will go with the general!" With the general alone, how can he be the opponent of Ma and Han! With my help, Li Dao and Guo Yan are also relieved! ”

"Then let's go to the palace now!" Zhang Ji and Jia Xu came out together, Zhang Xiu followed behind them, and the three of them went to the palace together.
