Tang Xiu's cheap father-in-law, Wang Yun, sent his friend Chen Gong to persuade Lu Bu to vote.

Tang Xiu still knows about Chen Gong, and he is also a top strategist in the late Han Dynasty, compared to Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and others, he is only one line behind, and he is not inferior to Li Ru, who was killed by him.

Chen Gong in history, the chief strategist under Lu Bu's account, was upright and resourceful, and made friends with well-known people at home and abroad when he was young.

Chen Gong in history was the first to appear as Cao Cao's adviser and was regarded as Cao Cao's confidant. But after that, because Cao Cao killed Bian Rang and other famous people in the late Han Dynasty, he turned against Cao Cao, and lobbied Zhang Miao to betray Cao Cao and welcome Lu Bu into Yanzhou.

Chen Gong then assisted Lü Bu, attacked Cao Cao, and successively captured Yanzhou and Xuzhou. In Xiapi City, Lu Bu did not listen to Chen Gong's plan to complement each other, so he failed. After Lü Bu was defeated, he was captured by Cao Cao along with Lü Bu and others, and was determined to die.

This is a top strategist who assisted Lu Bu in history and defeated Cao Cao, if it weren't for Lu Bu's disobedience and insistence, he was afraid that the outcome would be unpredictable. If you can't say Cao Cao and Cao Mengde, you have to fold it in the hands of Chen Gong.

When Chen Gong was young, he made friends with well-known people at home, and he was also a confidant and friend with Tang Xiu's cheap father-in-law, Wang Yun.

This time, he was invited out of the mountain by Wang Yun and sent to return to the court with Shun Lu Bu, which was a big surprise for Tang Xiu.

Tang Xiu still believed in Chen Gong's ability, and at that time, there would be 50,000 Xiliang troops led by Lu Bu to return to the imperial court, and there would be such a useful talent as Chen Gong.

It is a great help for the Han court and his task of supporting the Han Dynasty!

Sure enough, not long after, there was good news that Chen Gong had successfully lobbied Lu Bu.

Lü Bu returned to the imperial court and was appointed as the general of the second rank of the guard, ranking more than the third duke.

It is at the same level as the hussar general Zhang Liao and the chariot cavalry general Hua Xiong, second only to Tang Xiu, the general.

Lü Bu did not lead the army back to the imperial court, but was ordered by the imperial court to lead the army to attack Chang'an, assisted by the Chen Palace.

And Tang Xiu also did his best to join the state army, and Zhang Ji and Fan Chou's 30,000 troops were responsible for logistics, a total of 80,000 troops, and marched to Hangu Pass.

There is no suspense in this battle.

No matter how resourceful Jia Xu is, he is helpless in the face of Tang Xiu and Lu Bu's two-way army.

Hangu Pass and Chang'an City were lost one after another, Niu Fu's troops were defeated and killed, and Jia Xu was transferred to Zhang Ji's command and was introduced to Tang Xiu.

Jia Xu, Zhang Ji, and Zhang Xiu's uncle and nephew originally worked under Dong Zhuo, and they had a good relationship.

Even if Zhang Xiu and Liu Guan Zhang led the army before, and Zhang Ji and Fan Chouer were in charge of logistics, they were all defeated by Jia Xu's design, it was a different position, and each was the master.

Now that Jia Xu has come to vote, Zhang Ji naturally will not retreat, and introduced him to the general Tang Xiu.

For Jia Xu, a top strategist, Tang Xiu also loves and hates.

Naturally, there is such a top strategist in love, which can be of great use. It is natural that Jia Xu designed it before, defeated the army of Zhang Xiu and Liu Guanzhang, and caused him to lose 60,000 soldiers and horses, and all of them were the elite of Xiliang.

Tang Xiu finally realized some of the feelings of Cao Cao and Cao Mengde in history.

Cao Cao in history, fought against Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu used Jia Xu's stratagem to defeat Cao Cao twice. After the battle of Guandu, Jia Xu persuaded Zhang Xiu to surrender to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was defeated twice by Jia Xu's schemes, and he also loved and hated Jia Xu. Later, after getting Jia Xu's assistance, he also used Jia Xu's strategy to disintegrate the forces of Ma Chao and Han Sui, and pacified Guanzhong in one fell swoop.

Chang'an City.

Tang Xiu's temporary general's mansion, the council chamber.

"Mr. Wenhe, please." Rao is Tang Xiu, the great general, and he also treated Jia Xu Jia Wen and this top strategist with courtesy, and personally went out to greet him.

Jia Xu has a slender figure, dressed as a scholar, and his appearance is not very outstanding, at first glance he looks like an ordinary middle-aged scribe. But in such a year, the middle-aged scribe has been famous through the ages, and he has been involved in defeating Zhang Xiu and Liu Guanzhang and others before.

"I've seen the general." Jia Xu bowed to Tang Xiu, and at the same time secretly looked at the general of the current dynasty.

Seeing that Tang Xiu was really as young as the legend, Jia Xu was also a little surprised, how could he not be surprised that he could make such a big achievement at such a young age?

"Mr. Wenhe, please take a seat." Tang Xiu smiled slightly, helped Jia Xu up, took Jia Xu's hand very enthusiastically, and walked into the hall.

Jia Xu naturally felt Tang Xiu's enthusiasm, which was nothing more than to express his sincere solicitation, and from his point of view, Tang Xiu was also a lord worthy of refuge.

Judging from Tang Xiu's current achievements, whether he really wants to help the Han Dynasty or has other ambitions, he is in the middle of the day and is the biggest force in the world.

The most important thing is that Tang Xiu is capable and young! It's much better than Dong Zhuo, who he assisted before!

In the hall, Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Zhang Ji, Fan Chou and other generals, as well as Chen Gong, a Wenchen strategist, all looked complicated when they saw Tang Xiu recruiting Jia Xu so enthusiastically.

After all, the 110,000 troops sent by Tang Xiu before were defeated by Jia Xu's design, and more than half of them were lost.

Now, Tang Xiu, the general, seems to have no guilt, and he is very enthusiastic about Jia Xu, which is heartbreaking.

Even Lu Bu was ashamed of himself, he boasted that if he had changed himself, he would never have treated Jia Xu like this.

After Tang Xiu introduced Jia Xu into the seat, he returned to the main seat and sat down, glanced around at everyone, and said with a smile: "This big victory, pacifying Chang'an in one fell swoop, all of you are meritorious, and when you return to the court in the future, you will definitely be rewarded!" ”

"General Xie!" The crowd spoke in unison.

Tang Xiu bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "Now that Mr. Gongtai and Mr. Wenhe are helping, why worry about the Han not being prosperous?" ”

"The Great General is falsely praised."

Chen Gong and Jia Xu expressed their modesty at the same time.

Tang Xiu was also telling the truth, this time to recover Chang'an and Hangu Pass, it was already in his plan. And Chen Gong and Jia Xu are the biggest gains.

If he felt that the generals under his command were not enough, but with the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang, and after Lu Bu returned to the imperial court, there were Guan Hai and Gao Shun in Xuzhou, and Tai Shici in Beihai, etc., it was already good.

Once there is a war, there is also a general who can be called at will.

But in terms of strategists, Tang Xiu was a blank, that is, the previous top strategist Li Ru, who could not surrender because of his position, so he had to be killed.

Now, I have got Chen Gong and Jia Xu, two top strategists.

And these two top strategists, he also has their own uses.

For Jia Xu, Tang Xiu and Dong Zhuo did the same, that is, let Jia Xu stay in Chang'an temporarily and be responsible for the affairs of Chang'an.

Tang Xiu also ordered Zhang Liao to command 50,000 troops and state troops, leaving Jia Xu to jointly govern Chang'an.

After Chang'an was settled, Tang Xiu could rest assured that the princes of the world would be pacified and the task of reviving the Han Dynasty would be completed.
