In mid-February, three days had passed since Li Zheng received the edict.

"Lord!"

At noon, Li Zheng was dining, but Xun You came to see him.

"Han Sui sent an envoy here!"

"Oh?!"

Li Zheng put down his chopsticks and said, "Introduce the side hall, I'll go over soon." ”

After washing up and cleaning up, Li Zheng arrived at the side hall and saw a person sitting on the couch, his face calm and calm, as if he was in his own home.

This man was about forty years old, dressed in a simple green robe, with a wooden hairpin pinned to his head, a ruddy complexion, a calm expression, and deep eyes, like a bottomless abyss.

Li Zheng immediately paid attention and said, "Who are you?" Han Wenyu asked you to come to see General Ben, what's the matter? ”

Only then did the man get up slowly, calmly, bowed his hands, and said: "In Xia Wuwei Jia Xu, on the order of General Zhengxi, I came to pay homage to General Zhenxi, and I have important matters to discuss." ”

"You're Jia Xu?!"

Li Zheng's face moved, and he was a little surprised in his heart. I've been looking for this person again, but I didn't expect this slippery head to run to Han Sui's hands, and I must not let it go this time.

For a while, Li Zheng looked at Jia Xu's eyes, which made Jia Xu a little frightened.

After pressing his mind, Jia Xu said: "The general also knows Jia? ”

"How don't you know?" Li Zheng said with a smile: "Wuwei Jia Wenhe, the crown of the contemporary, seeking what others can't seek, there are good and peaceful strange, and this general is like thunder." ”

Jia Xu couldn't help but roll his eyes, and his face showed doubts: "The general is looking at the wrong person, right?" Then he changed his voice and said: "Jia Mou's time is on the order of General Zhengxi, please ask the general to retreat!" ”

"Retirement?" The corners of Li Zheng's mouth twitched, and a strange smile appeared on his face: "How to withdraw from the army?" Where to retreat? ”

"Wu Wei!" Jia Xu's expression was fixed, and he smiled lightly: "General Zhenxi waved his troops to attack General Zhengxi, which is not in line with the etiquette system, if it is known to the imperial court, the general's situation may be embarrassing." For the sake of today's plan, it is better to retire early, which is what the heroes do. ”

"Haha" Li Zheng couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and only said after a while: "Han Sui is ordering me!" Is he really the general of Zhengxi? But a traitor! Furthermore, although I am the general of Zhenxi, the imperial court has not relieved me of my position as a captain to protect the Qiang, and the Qiang people in the Hexi Corridor are in turmoil, and I will send troops to suppress it, where is the duty! ”

When Jia Xu heard this, he couldn't help frowning.

I didn't expect this very young general Zhenxi to be so difficult, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "The general should know that the general of Zhengxi is powerful and has hundreds of thousands of troops, if it is"

That's the threat.

"Okay, let him come." Li Zheng didn't care at all, his face was full of disdain, and said: "Han Sui inserted the bid to sell the head, and the bones in the grave are just dry bones!" ”

Jia Xu is out of line now.

The reasoning doesn't make sense, the threat doesn't work, it's completely soft and hard.

"The general has made a decision, Jia doesn't say much, so he leaves, please do it yourself!" As he spoke, Jia Xu got up and saluted, turned around and was about to leave. He is well known, and in the face of Li Zheng, Jia Xu was a little uneasy and decided to stay away immediately.

"Wait."

How could Li Zheng watch Jia Xu slip away from under his nose?

"I don't care about Han Sui, and I don't care about Han Sui's 100,000 army. Only you, Jia Wenhe, are qualified to let me look high! Since you're here, don't go. Li Zheng smiled and stood up.

Jia Xu finally frowned at this time: "What does the general want?" ”

"There are two paths in front of Mr. Wenhe." Li Zheng stepped forward slowly and said face to face: "First, with a wave of my hand, two guards came in, dragged Mr. Wenhe out, and killed him with one sword. ”

When Jia Xu heard this, his heart couldn't help but tremble, and his calm face finally turned a little pale. Xiucai met a soldier, or met a soldier who knew his roots, Jia Xu was wise, and he was a little at a loss for a while.

"Second, from now on, Mr. Wenhe will do things for me. In the future, it will soar and become famous, and it will be no problem to leave a name in history! ”

With a big stick in one hand and sweet dates in the other, Li Zheng played well.

In fact, only for Jia Xu, Li Zheng would play so without scruples.

Because of Jia Xu's character.

As far as Li Zheng knows, Jia Xu is the most afraid of death, and he is also the best at saving his life. For his own interests, Jia Xu can make the world chaotic with one word!

This is his strength and his weakness. If you change to a great power, in the face of Li Zheng's threat, it is very likely that you will die calmly and will not give in. But Jia Xu won't, he is the most afraid of death and the easiest to succumb.

Of course, Li Zheng knows that this kind of submission is unwilling and can easily be counterattacked. But Li Zheng is confident and will not give Jia Xu a chance to fight back! It will also make him more and more loyal.

Jia Xu was silent for a long time before he said, "Can Jia ask the general a few questions?" ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

"Dare to ask the general, Han Sui has tens of thousands of soldiers, what confidence does the general have to be able to defeat him?"

"To tell the truth, under the command of General Ben, the total number of soldiers and horses is less than 20,000, and some of them are still soldiers, and the number is far less than that of Han Sui. But if you really want to fight, you are confident that you will not fall behind. Secondly, now that Han Sui has obtained a nominal official position and is a minister in the same palace as me, he naturally does not dare to send troops to attack without scruples, even if he has a plan, he must cover it up and dare not make a big show. Therefore, I am not afraid of Han Sui. ”

Although Xun You and Li Zheng both guessed that Han Sui would make a move, they also clearly knew that under the current situation, Han Sui would never dare to attack Li Zheng with a large army.

Even if you send a partial division, you have to hide it.

When Jia Xu heard this, he bowed slightly.

"Dare to ask the general, what is your ambition?"

Li Zheng stared at Jia Xu tightly, word by word, and said, "Win the world!" ”

Jia Xu's eyes lit up: "Is it the same as Han Sui?" ”

"Han Sui? Haha, what kind of thing is he, he can only bounce in Liangzhou for a while in this life. Li Zheng pursed his lips, full of disdain, and then said: "Win the world, conquer a qiē, Mr. Wenhe can wait and see." ”

"General, Jia is afraid of death, can the general let me spend the rest of my life safely, and protect the glory and wealth of my Jia family for three generations?"

"Yes!" Li Zheng is categorical.

Jia Xu looked at Li Zheng squarely, and saw that Li Zheng's eyes were clear and unflinching, and he was slightly sure in his heart. However, Jia Xu secretly calculated - the clay man also has three points of fire, and he was coerced to this point this time, saying that he was not aggrieved, it was absolutely impossible. Although he can't take action for the time being, and according to Jia Xu's cautious character, he won't act blindly. But no matter how powerful Li Zheng is, there will be a time when the dragon swims in shallow water and the tiger falls in Pingyang, and at that time

"Then we'll see."

"We'll see."

After Jia Xu finished speaking, he slowly took three steps back, bowed down and bowed deeply: "Wuwei Jia Xu, meet the lord!" ”

"Mr. Wenhe, please get up!"

Li Zheng was in a good mood, and hurriedly helped Jia Xu up, and said with a smile: "I, Li Zheng, can get the loyalty of Mr. Wenhe, better than getting 100,000 elite soldiers!" ”

"The lord praises it."

Li Zheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "Sit." ”

The two sat down again, chatting for a while, as if they had completely forgotten the previous threats to each other, and the atmosphere instantly became harmonious and harmonious.

After more than half an hour, Jia Xu said: "Although the lord is not afraid of Han Sui, he must also be on guard. If you are not talented, you are willing to respond to the Lord's office. ”

The implication is that he is ready to return to Han Sui and be a spy for Li Zheng.

However, Li Zheng shook his head and denied it.

Jia Xu is a big slippery head, even if he has recognized the master, Li Zheng doesn't trust him very much. If he lets him go this time, maybe something will happen. After all, Jia Xu confessed to the Lord, and it was Li Zheng's sword soldiers who persecuted him.

"Hehe, kill chickens with a knife? Mr. Wenhe is talented, such a thing, I don't need Mr. to take risks personally, I have my own place. As he spoke, Li Zheng's voice changed and said, "Mr. Wenhe, do you know what follow-up measures Han Sui has?" ”

Li Zheng smiled and asked.

Although he had already guessed in his heart, Li Zheng still wanted to test Jia Xu a little first.

Jia Xu said with a smile: "Han Sui took his subordinates as envoys, attracted the attention of the lord in the open, and sent 30,000 troops to prepare to attack secretly. ”

"Oh? What did the gentleman think, how should I deal with it? ”

Jia Xu saw that Li Zheng's face was as usual, and knew that Li Zheng had been prepared, so he couldn't help but secretly admire, and said with a smile: "Since the lord has been prepared, why do you need to say more?" ”

"Jia Wenhe, Jia Wenhe, you are a big slippery head." Li Zheng pointed at him and smiled for a while, then said: "I have indeed been prepared, but knowing that the other side can win all battles, I don't mind knowing more about the situation." ”

Hearing Li Zheng's words, Jia Xu did not hide it, and told everything he knew.

After listening to Jia Xu's words and comparing them with Xun Yu and his own speculation, Li Zheng couldn't help but smile.

Subsequently, Li Zheng asked someone to call Xun You, introduce the two to know each other, and then according to what Jia Xu said, the plan was slightly adjusted so that nothing went wrong, and then instructed the two to leave Gaoping the next day and return to Lingzhou.

And Li Zheng himself stays here and has to make some preparations.

The next day, a hundred Qingjia warriors escorted Xun You and the amazed Jia Xu to Lingzhou.

After Li Zheng sent the two away, he received a group of special guests in the county government.

The person in charge of stabilizing Lu Shuihu - the patriarch and handsome of the tribes of all sizes.

In the hall, Li Zheng was dressed in armor and sat on the main seat, his face was indifferent, and his eyes showed murderous aura.

In the face of aliens, the more gentle they are, the more difficult it is to convince them. These people obey only power!

Sitting on the main seat, Li Zheng's gaze like a blade swept over the two columns of Lu Shui Hu Haoshuai on the left and right of the hall, causing the previous noise in the entire hall to stop immediately.

Li Zheng nodded with satisfaction and said, "This general invited all Lu Shui and Hu Haoshuai here, one of them is to recruit Lu Shui's righteous servants. You have known this for a long time, so I will mention it here. ”

Lu Shui, Hu Zhuhao, nodded yes.

Faced with the temptation of a large amount of food, Lu Shuihu had already gathered 10,000 righteous servants, and had already been properly placed by Li Zheng. Moreover, Li Zheng has already paid a deposit for this - 30,000 stone of grain.

Li Zheng is so bold, which is also a factor that can easily invite these heroes.

"Secondly, there is something about the delicious echinoderm pig" Li Zheng's voice was very slow, which made many heroes in the hall swallow their saliva.

The smell of the animal called the echinoderm pig is simply intoxicating!

In particular, Li Zheng once hinted that he would give them the opportunity to raise such livestock with great potential, so these heroes would obediently come here to meet Li Zheng.

Li Zheng's boldness and the temptation of the echinoderm pig, two factors combined, so that these always unruly alien races were headed.

"General Lee!"

Lu Shui Hu Haoshuai on the right shouted, "If you are willing to let my tribe raise echinoderm pigs, I can give up the commission for this employment!" ”

"I'm willing to wait!"
