When Jia Xu said this, his expression was very serious, showing that what he said was said after careful consideration, rather than improvisation.

Lu Bu was slightly stunned, stopped pacing, turned around, and asked Jia Xu, "Sir, or is you not very worried about Zhang Yan?" ”

Jia Xu nodded and replied, "Exactly." ”

Immediately, his head turned with Lu Bu's slow pacing, and explained: "This time to pacify Xiliang Hansui, the frontal army is strong enough, and it is close to Chang'an, so I don't worry too much, but I can go to one division and attack Jincheng from afar, and if it is used properly, it is enough to influence the trend of the battle, one of them; Second, the partial division must pass through Anding and Wuwei counties, Zhang Yanxiang is the head of the thief, quite skillful, but this trip, the labor expedition is very important, and there is no room for mistakes, and Xu is still a little worried about him. ”

The three of them had discussed this matter together several times before, and Jia Xu also volunteered to accompany Zhang Yan's army to give full play to his advantages as a Wuwei person in Xiliang.

However, in Lu Bu's mind, even if you count the auxiliaries, there are 5,000 people and horses, he still feels that its importance is not as important as Jia Xu alone, even if you add the entire Xiliang, it is still not comparable.

So he never agreed to Jia Xu's suggestion, and was still ready to let Zhang Yan lead the army alone.

At this moment, on the eve of the army, Lu Bu heard Jia Xu say this again, and he couldn't help but fall into contemplation again.

Jia Xu asked this question again and again, obviously not because he wanted to fight for merit, or because he felt that Zhang Yan, as a thief leader, needed a proper person to supervise the army, but that he felt that compared to the army commanded by Xu Huang and the assassination operation that was unknown to the effect, the partial division commanded by Zhang Yan was the division. It may play a decisive role in the entire battle situation, and it must not be lost due to an unknowable change in the middle.

It was precisely because of the stakes that he felt he should give his all to make sure nothing went wrong.

After a long time, Lu Bu stopped, returned to the main seat and sat down, and said to Jia Xu sincerely: "I can understand Sir's worries. However, the safety of the gentleman. That's what I'm most worried about, the expedition is far away, sir, this ......"

Jia Xu thanked Lu Bu with a smile and replied calmly: "Xu's safety." The lord doesn't need to worry too much, think about the year. He is single from Wuwei. rushed to Luoyang, and went south from Luoyang, against the river into Shu, and then from Shu to Xiliang, there was no danger. ”

"Didn't Sir, who almost died at the hands of the Di people that time?"

Lu Bu added with a smile, saying that Jia Xu remembered the past. It is also hahadaxiao up.

Xu Shu was puzzled and asked, "Brother Wen He still has such a thrilling thing?" ”

Jia Xu was concise and concise, retelling the situation of the year, and Xu Shu was amazed again and again.

Jia Xu finished speaking. After Xu Shu exclaimed, the three of them fell into silence, the question just raised, Lu Bu's worries, until now, still have no solution.

After pondering for a long time, Jia Xu was the first to speak: "Lord, this time Xu went out with the army, guarded by a soldier, and there is no worry about safety. ”

Lu Bu took a deep breath and said decisively: "It's okay, I'll let Dian Wei lead his subordinates to protect Mr. Guard, otherwise, I can't rest assured." ”

When this matter was agreed, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief, and Xu Shu hesitantly added: "The army is exhausted, the generals are also exhausted, and the lord is sitting in Chang'an, do you want to gather some more people and horses?" ”

This is another problem, now under Lu Bu's account, there are many civil and military subordinates, but in fact, they are scattered everywhere, almost a radish and a pit, and there is no superfluous.

Zhang Liao and Cao Xing were in charge of the military and politics outside the Yanmen Gate, and they had great responsibilities; Gao Shun sat in Taiyuan, assisted by Fa Zheng, Meng Da and others, and at the same time the governor and the state and county affairs; Han Hao stationed in the party; Wang Fang stationed in Gaodu; Hua Xiong, Wang Ling, Wang Chang in Hanoi; Hao Meng guarded Hedong, Zhang Ji, Jin Xuan, Su Ze, Jia Kui and others helped; Han Xian and Yang Feng were stationed in Hongnong, which was the east gate of Guanzhong.

After calculating, with Xu Huang, Zhang Yan, Li Su, Dian Wei, and Jia Xu, leading the army to the west to conquer Han Sui, the generals who sat in Guanzhong almost poured out, so that only Lu Bu, Xu Shu, Song Xian and others remained, such as Wei Xu, who presided over the workshop, and Hou Cheng, who presided over business, and there were just a few people.

Lu Bu quickly calculated in his mind, shook his head and replied: "Don't move for the time being, the other people have their own responsibilities, the remaining troops in Guanzhong are enough, Xiliang is safe, and Liu Yan and Zhang Lu don't dare to come to find a fight at this time." ”

Jia Xu and Xu Shu also laughed softly, but Xu Shu did not stop there, but stretched out his finger to the north and said to Lu Bu and Jia Xu: "Shu is a little worried about the Southern Xiongnu, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not take this opportunity to come and attack them." ”

Jia Xu also had a solemn face, followed behind Lu Bu, and came to the huge map with a whole wall hanging.

This is exactly what Lu Bu pioneered, in his mansion, the council hall, and the study, all hung huge maps, so that they could be viewed anytime and anywhere, so that everyone under the tent was affected, and they followed suit, and huge maps were hung in the halls and studies of his home.

The map is made very carefully, although it is not as detailed and complete as the map of the later generations, it can be compared to the extremely simple maps of this world, but it is much more complete, at least the direction, distance, and traffic arteries are as detailed and comprehensive as they can.

From Meiji, where the Southern Xiongnu is located, to Chang'an, there are two main roads, one is through Beidi County, from Qi County in the northwest of Chang'an; One is through the upper county of Bingzhou, from Xianyang, where Chang'an was found.

Neither road is smooth, and the distance is long enough, no less than Zhang Yan leading his army from Chang'an to attack Jincheng.

The three of them stared at the map and looked at it for a while, Lu Bu looked at it, and still felt that with the current strength of the Southern Xiongnu, it was really impossible to attack Guanzhong like this, and according to the military information detected, since Yu Fuluo and Liu Bao were killed by him, Yu Fuluo's brother Hu Chuquan fled back to Meiji, but he did not regain the power of the Southern Xiongnu as he wished.

Combining these factors, Lu Bu smiled confidently at Jia Xu and Xu Shu: "It's okay, with me and Mr. Yuanzhi sitting in Chang'an, it's good that the Southern Huns don't come, if they really come, don't think about going back." ”

Such a strong self-confidence infected Jia Xu and Xu Shu.

Think about it, the strength of the Southern Xiongnu, compared to Xianbei, but it is too far behind, when Lu Bu was outside the Yanmen Pass, but even killed Bu Dugen and Fu Luo Han, defeated the Xianbei Iron Cavalry, so that now, the Xianbei Iron Cavalry does not dare to approach Yanmen County at all, although the leader is still entrenched in the clouds, Dingxiang area, but he does not dare to mention the matter of avenging his son Bu Dugen and his brother Fu Luohan.

As soon as the big and small matters were properly discussed, Jia Xu and Dian Wei temporarily joined Zhang Yan's army, except for Lu Bu to discuss with Zhang Yan alone to pacify, there was no other reaction.

First Li Su led the army to set off, and then Xu Huang and Zhang Yan left the city at the same time.

Lu Bu sent the three armies away, and what swelled up in his heart was a faint sense of loss.

Now he is a high and powerful man, and the burden on his shoulders is greater than ever, so that it is much more difficult than ever to lead the army himself.

This time he went west to Han Sui, he just showed such a hint of the intention of leading the army to the expedition, and he was dissuaded by the concerted voices of everyone under the account, for different reasons, and finally poked his heart in the heart, or what Jia Xu and Xu Shu said in private.

If every time there is a big war, it is he, the lord, who personally leads the army, then how should those generals under his account deal with themselves?

The potential meaning of this sentence is that Lu Bu, as the lord, is brave and brave, but he can't go to the subordinates under the account to compete for merit because of this, which will make the generals under the account very uneasy.

Lu Bu has experience from later generations, from the perspective of management, now he is very much like the chairman and CEO of a huge group company in later generations, and the Empress Dowager He and the Son of Heaven Liu Wei are the nominal chairmen.

Therefore, after sending Xu Huang and others away, Lu Bu felt lost and lost, and melancholy returned to melancholy, he could only be patient and encourage himself, to endure loneliness, and in the future, the army would march eastward and compete for hegemony in the Central Plains.

After returning from outside the city, Lu Buxin was reined, and just arrived at the gate of the mansion, thinking of the Empress Dowager He who was separated by a wall, his heart moved, so he simply led the crowd to the gate of Changxin Palace and came to the door to meet him.

Here he is already a regular guest, and he can enter the palace without waiting for the chamberlain to report it.

In a moment, Mu Shun, the head of Empress Dowager He's chamberlain, hurried over and greeted Lu Bu to the palace, seeing that Lu Bu was just one person, he couldn't help but ask curiously: "The general accompanies the saint to see off the army, and the saint ......."

Lu Bu smiled and replied: "Oh, the Holy Lord is very interested, and he is going to inspect the Royal Chamber of Commerce and the Royal Trade Union. ”

Mu Shun hurriedly explained: "I don't know about this, and the general forgives me." ”

Changxin Palace is much smaller than the North Palace in Luoyang, and after talking for a while, he walked to the courtyard where the Empress Dowager He lived, Mu Shun invited Lu Bu in, and he was busy with his own affairs.

Entering the house, Lu Buhuan swept his eyes, and found that the Empress Dowager He seemed to be in a bad mood today, and was lazily leaning against the window, looking at the flowers blooming in the courtyard in a daze, until Lu Bu said goodbye, she turned her head elegantly and smiled.

Empress Dowager He's two personal maids, Qin'er and Mei'er, were both indoors to accompany her, Lu Bu didn't dare to make a mistake, and asked respectfully: "The Empress Dowager seems to be lacking in interest today, but what's the matter?" ”

"Alas, what's the matter, it's just that spring goes to summer, and I'm too lazy to move." Empress Dowager He replied in a coquettish voice, and immediately turned to Qin'er and Mei'er, and ordered, "You guys go and get busy, the mourning family has some important matters to discuss with the general of the chariot cavalry."
