"What, Hangu Pass is lost, and the Lu family is lost?" Dong Zhuo, who happened to return to Chang'an, had not yet sat down, and the news of Chen Lin's capture of the Lu clan reached Chang'an, Dong Zhuo was shocked and hurriedly looked at Li Ru. Li Ru lowered his head and thought for a while, and said: "Lord, it is reported that the loss of Guguan is because the Hanzhong army has used a siege tower that has not been seen for many years, and the defenders were defeated by the Hanzhong army in a panic. "The person who knows Dong Zhuo best is Li Ru, at this time, Dong Zhuo was only afraid of being scared enough, so Li Ru didn't say anything else, let Dong Zhuo feel safe first, and then consider other ways to deal with Chen Lin.

Sure enough, when Dong Zhuo heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest, recovered his expression, and then smashed the wooden case in the hall with a fierce iron fist, and scattered with a bang: "Chen Bozhi, Chen Bozhi again, Sun Wentai is gone, why hasn't he left yet." You could hear the anger in Dong Zhuo's tone. Dong Zhuo's words also caused Li Ru to think, I saw Li Ru running to the map and looking at it carefully for a long time, Dong Zhuo found Li Ru's strange appearance, knew that Li Ru was thinking, and did not make a sound. After half a ring, Dong Zhuo was really impatient, so he asked, "Wen You, have you come up with a way?" ”

Li Ru raised his head and said, "My lord, just now why didn't the Hanzhong Army leave, Confucianism thought of it a little. Dong Zhuo sighed and asked, "What's the matter?" Li Ru: "The lord and look, now the coalition forces are all fiefdoms, Sun Wentai also returned to the Central Plains after the defeat in Hanoi, it is said that Sun Wentai did not return to Changsha, but took Yangzhou, Confucianism is not bad, Sun Wentai should be going back to his hometown Jiangdong, this is 108,000 miles away from Chang'an, the lord is not worried about Sun Wentai. Look at Chen Bozhi's army, its place of governance is in Hanzhong, and Chen Lin is in Sili, at this time nearly a year of war, Hanzhong soldiers and horses must also miss Hanzhong, but Chen Bozhi wants to return to Hanzhong but can only take Luoyang, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Nanyang to travel thousands of miles, really hard. Now Chen Bozhi is desperately trying to capture Hangu Pass, according to General Duan's report, his army is only a few thousand, less than 10,000, it stands to reason that Chen Bozhi should rest and recuperate after the battle of Hangu Pass, but his reaction was to take Lu on the same day. Confucianism thought that the soldiers and horses in Hanzhong were attacking the road back to Hanzhong, and wanted to go from Wuguan. ”

Li Ru's words attracted Dong Zhuo's attention, and Chen Lin was also leaving, which was something that Dong Zhuo couldn't ask for. But Dong Zhuo changed his mind and said, "Thousands? Since his army is only a few thousand, and now he is in the Lu family, he will send a large army to destroy him. Li Ru hurriedly shouted: "No, my lord, now our army and the Kwantung coalition army are safe and sound, if our army sends a large army out of Tongguan at this time, it will definitely cause panic in the Kwantung region, and it is very likely to cause the second Kwantung coalition army to attack Chang'an, which is absolutely impossible." ”

Speaking of the Kwantung Coalition Army, Dong Zhuo said that he was not afraid that it was fake, but thinking of the difficult Chen Lin, Dong Zhuo said angrily: "Then what should I do, this Chen Bozhi is always not dying, and it is not a way?" ”

Li Ru: "Give way, lord, give way to the soldiers and horses of Hanzhong and return to Hanzhong." Dong Zhuo was taken aback and gave way? How to make, Wuguan? Looking at Li Ru suspiciously, Li Ru hurriedly said: "Lord, now Zhang Shidu is alone in Wuguan, and the Lu family has been captured by Hanzhong, and Wuguan has resolutely become a lone army. ”

Dong Zhuo is not afraid of Chen Lin's thousands of troops, but afraid that Chen Lin's unrelenting attitude will lead to a series of incidents against Dong Zhuo, the current Chang'an is becoming more and more unpeaceful, Dong Zhuo seems to be beautiful, but in fact it is really an external and internal trouble, he has to be careful every day, the five thousand flying bear army will not leave an inch, and the current Dong Zhuo basically doesn't trust anyone except Li Ru, not even Lu Bu. So after thinking about it for a while, Dong Zhuo still decided that he could quickly solve Chen Lin's troubled guy, so he said: "Okay, just according to what Wenyou said." ”

Hundreds of miles away in Wuguan, after Zhang Ji got Zhang Xiu back, he determined the matter of the Lu family, and he was even more frightened in his heart, and he didn't expect that he would become a besieged lone soldier in a blink of an eye, and now Zhang Ji could only pray that Yuan Shu of Nanyang would not come to trouble him. If Yuan Shu also intervened, Wuguan would really suffer from the enemy on his back and abdomen, and he would be dead, not that Zhang Ji's strength was insufficient, but the army's heart was unstable. Since Zhang Xiu came back, there have been rumors in Wuguan now, saying that he was abandoned by Dong Zhuo, and this rumor is more terrible than anything else.

Zhang Ji and several people gathered around to discuss, and the general Lei Xu hurriedly shouted: "General, if you fight, I don't believe that the 10,000-strong army will not be able to defeat the small Lu clan and return to Chang'an." Zhang Xiu immediately said: "That's because the general has never seen the soldiers and horses in Hanzhong." "Zhang Xiu has fought with Huang Zhong, and with Zhang Xiu's strength, he has said such things, and no one dares to say anything like fighting anymore. Zhang Ji knew the current situation of his army best, and smiled self-deprecatingly, except for his limited elite who could still fight, now there was nothing more than a group of frightened people in Wuguan.

Zhang Ji: "Wait, Xiangguo won't leave me waiting." Although Zhang Ji said so, Zhang Ji really didn't have much confidence in Dong Zhuo's personality, and Zhang Ji was not Dong Zhuo's cronies. Unexpectedly, at this time, there were soldiers and horses who returned: "General, there is a person outside the pass who claims to be an envoy from Hanzhong and asks to see him." Zhang Ji was taken aback, and Zhang Xiu said: "Uncle, it must have been sent by Chen Bozhi to persuade him to surrender." Zhang Ji smiled miserably: "Hehe, persuade to surrender? It seems that our army really has no way out. "Just walk out.

The person who came was Jia Xu, Zhou Cang Huang Yan followed left and right, and saw Jia Xu walking into Wuguan with a smile on his face, not afraid at all. Zhang Ji: "Sir, but Jia Wenhe?" Hey, Jia Xu didn't expect Zhang Ji to recognize himself, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that the unknown scholar would also enter the general's ears, and I was terrified." ”

Zhang Ji: "Mr. Jia is strategizing, Xingyang, Bishui Pass, Luoyang, Mianchi, Hangu Pass, where is there no figure of Mr., why should Mr. be humble, please." Jia Xu was not hypocritical, and entered the customs with Zhang Ji in every move.

The two sides sat down, Zhou Cang and Huang Yan's eyes were like lightning, and they stood behind Jia Xu with expressionless faces, Zhang Xiu was a master of martial arts, and he could see the extraordinaryness of the two at a glance, and asked, "Who is behind Mr." Jia Xu smiled, thinking that Zhang Xiu was a warrior, so he might as well press him in this regard, so he said: "Oh, this is the personal guard of the lord, there is some force, I don't know if the general can give him a lesson or two." ”

Zhang Xiu was originally a good martial artist, and seeing the appearance of the two of them, how could he not, without waiting for Zhang Ji to stop him, he jumped out after shouting good, Zhang Ji couldn't drink anymore when he saw this. Jia Xu smiled at a glance, turned around and nodded at Zhou Cang, Zhou Cang looked at him angrily, stretched out his hand and pulled out the big knife on his back, a huge steel knife: "Some, Zhou Cang, Hanzhong Tai Guardian Deputy Commander." After saying that, it was like an orangutan peeling a banana, and the huge steel knife was raised and smashed effortlessly, and it was menacing. Zhang Xiu raised the gun to block it, and hit the gun, just when Zhang Xiu was full of joy and thought that he was blocking, he felt a much greater force than Huang Zhong coming, and he knocked Zhang Xiu into the air and smashed it heavily on the ground. A room full of people were dumbfounded, who Zhang Xiu was, they knew, he was defeated in one round at the hands of a deputy commander.

Zhang Ji hurriedly spoke: "Vice President Zhou is mighty, come and have a drink." Peeking at Zhang Xiu, he saw Zhang Xiu standing up with Hu Che'er's support, and breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, everyone in Zhang Jijun was afraid of Chen Lin, Jia Xu laughed, the effect was very good, and he turned around and nodded at Zhou Cang with a smile.

Just as Jia Xu and Zhang Ji were chatting happily, there was suddenly another report: "General Yu, there is a messenger who claims to be the Hanzhong Army outside." Jia Xu and Zhang Ji were both stunned, Jia Xu frowned, and secretly said that something happened to the Lu family? Zhang Ji was even more unclear, so he had to invite in, but the person who came was an ordinary shadowless, and as soon as he came in, he rushed to Jia Xu, bowed his head and whispered in his ear for a while, Jia Xu was shocked. Jia Xu looked up at Zhang Ji in the right position, thinking in his heart, alas, it seems that there is no way to say that the matter of surrender is over, Dong Zhuo actually sent Li Su to negotiate.

It turned out that as soon as Jia Xu left the Lu family, Li Su sent by Dong Zhuo arrived at the Lu family and negotiated with Chen Lin, Chen Lin was surprised that Dong Zhuo had guessed his plan to return to Hanzhong so accurately, so the lion opened his mouth, in addition to the official seal of the general with facial features given by Dong Zhuo, he also asked for a month's grain and grass. A truce with Dong Zhuo allowed Zhang Ji to return to Tongguan, while Wuguan was ceded to Chen Lin, and Chen Lin was not allowed to attack Tongguan again. Chen Lin hurriedly sent Wuying to inform Jia Xu, Jia Xu was active at this time, seeing Zhang Ji's appearance, it seemed that Zhang Ji had not received Dong Zhuo's letter, in this case, Jia Xu secretly said in his heart that it was better to blackmail again, it was considered Dong Zhuo and Zhang Ji to eat at both ends.

I saw that after Jia Xu listened, he laughed out loud, Zhang Ji didn't know why, and asked, "I don't know why, Mr., what did Chen Taishou say?" Jia Xu: "General Zhang, the lord of a certain family just sent someone to say that the general is a famous general in Xiliang, and the lord worships him very much." General, the Ming people don't say dark words, this time my Hanzhong army wants to turn back to Hanzhong, I don't know if the general wants the street? ”

As soon as Jia Xu's words came out, he alarmed all the Zhang Ji generals in the hall, this Chen Lin is not a persuasion, but a negotiation. Zhang Ji was excited in his heart, not to persuade him to surrender, okay, okay, and said urgently: "Really? ”

Jia Xu pretended to be serious and said: "General Zhang, there is no smile on military affairs, a certain lord does not want to start a war with the general, I don't know if the general is willing to negotiate peace?" Zhang Ji: "Yes, willing." ”

Seeing Zhang Ji's appearance, Jia Xu became more calm in his heart, and said: "If you and I don't agree on a time, General Zhang can pass through the Lu clan unharmed and turn back to Tongguan, and my Hanzhong army will never attack, but there is one thing that needs the general's help." "Condition, Zhang Ji said secretly, this is clearly a condition, but at this time, it seems that the Hanzhong army has the upper hand, and Zhang Ji is alone in guarding Wuguan, which is already at the end of the road.

When leaving Wuguan, Huang Yan smiled and said: "The military advisor is really a god, but isn't the military advisor worried that Zhang Shidu will regret it after learning about Dong Zhongying's actions?" Jia Xu smiled and said: "So I have to return to the Lu clan as soon as possible, and I have to bother the second general wolf cavalry to have a hard time, and temporarily receive the messenger from Chang'an to Wuguan." ”

The three of them laughed at the same time and galloped back.

Chen Lin returned to Hanzhong, and the vigorous battle against Dong was thunderous and rainy, but everything will be buried in time, some things have changed, and some things are the same as always, but no matter what, everyone can't help but be selfish, the difference is just a means used for selfishness, just like the current Yizhou, how a mess.
