Jia Xu already had an idea in his heart.

But he didn't show it.

Jia Xu's personality was originally cold, and he and Xun You and Mao Jue greeted each other neither cold nor hot.

Seeing the burly Dian Wei, he was slightly stunned for a moment, and thought in his heart.

The lord's reputation is not very good, and it is not easy to recruit scribes.

I can't imagine that there are many generals.

Fortunately, with Xun You, they came. It can also alleviate the problem of dealing with the shortage of talents in government affairs.

Xun You and Mao Jue didn't know Jia Xu's character very well, and they saw each other's attitude...... It was peaceful.

They don't want to be too enthusiastic.

The two sides are really respectful of each other, but fortunately, Lu Bu adjusted the atmosphere in the middle, so there was no cold scene.

For the officials under his command who are not mingling, Lu Bu is not unhappy, and of course he is not happy.

Anyway, as long as they don't delay the business, the other Lu Bu don't want to get involved too much.

The banquet was spent in a relaxed environment, and Jia Xu deliberately delayed for a while, when Lu Bu sent Xun You away.

When he saw that Jia Xu was still in the middle hall, he knew that the other party had something to say to him.

He sat in front of Jia Xu. "Mr. Wenhe has something to say."

"Hmm!" Jia Xu nodded and said, "General, your reputation is not good. I'm sure you know that. This is a big obstacle for you to recruit talents. Seriously, I really didn't expect Xun You to really come to you. But it's a good opportunity for you. ”

Lu Bu understood what Jia Xu meant. "You mean you want to use Xun You's identity to make a fuss?"

Jia Xu was very satisfied with Lu Bu's reaction. "Yes. Yingchuan Xun's family is a scribe and has a good reputation in the family, and Xunyou's refuge will bring great help to your reputation. We need to grasp this point and spread the word. This may attract more talented people to take refuge. ”

Lu Bu pondered for a while and said: "This must have a degree, after which it will easily arouse the disgust of the Yingchuan Xun family and Xun You, and then a good thing will become a bad thing." ”

Jia Xu agreed: "This is understood. If the general trusts him, he will leave this matter to the subordinate to be responsible. The lower officials will definitely take care of it. ”

"Wenhe, I absolutely trust. You can do it with confidence. ”

Jia Xu arched his hand and said, "General Xie! ”

When Jia Xu raised his head, he said, "General, this time I will send an envoy to Xiliang to meet Ma Teng and Han Sui." But I found something. ”

"Oh." Lu Bu immediately became interested and asked, "Tell me what you have seen and heard about this mission." ”

After Jia Xu sorted things out, he said: "Ma Teng and Han Sui are not as close as rumored by the outside world. They are more like a cooperative relationship under mutual compromise. ”

Lu Bu was not surprised by this, he wanted to hear Jia Xu's opinion.

"I want to hear about it."

"Ma Teng can lead troops to fight, but he is not good at governance. Han Sui knows a little about governance, and he has a great reputation in Xiliang, but he doesn't know how to fight.

Therefore, Ma Teng needed Han Sui to take care of Xiliang, and Han Sui needed Ma Teng to lead troops to suppress and resist tribal enemies such as Qiang, Di, and Xiongnu. They joined hands with each other to occupy Xiliang and have been safe with each other.

However, in recent years, Han Sui has recruited many generals, and more importantly, he married his daughter to Yan Xing, and received strong support from the Yan family.

In the future, if the general wants to deal with Ma Teng and Han Sui, he can take advantage of this. ”

Lu Bu nodded and said: "We can't let them detect our hostility, first deal with the Xiongnu, recapture Fufeng, Feng Yi, and Longshang and other places, and then consider dealing with Ma Teng and Han Sui." ”

"The general reminded that."

"Mr. Wenhe is also tired all the way. Go and rest first. There's still a lot to do tomorrow. ”

"Resignation."

Sending Jia Xu away, Lu Bu came to a relatively cold house in Chang'an.

He walked in, and Li Ru was reading a book.

Hearing the movement, he rolled up the book and set it aside.

"I thought you weren't coming!"

Lu Bugui sat down and asked, "What about the information I want?" ”

Li Ru stood up and took out a few bamboo scrolls from the bookshelf and placed them in front of him.

"It hasn't been long since it was established, and many spies are not skilled enough, so that's all for the time being."

Lu Bu opened the bamboo scroll and looked at it.

Li Ru lazily explained. "In the third year of Zhongping, Hugh slaughtered the Xiongnu and other tribes, the Xiongnu were single in the Qiangqu. After the death of the Southern Xiongnu old Shan Yu Qiangqu, the Southern Xiongnu's private Xubu Gu Du Hou was Shan Yu.

Yu Fuluo, the son of Shan Yu of the Southern Xiongnu Qiangqu, was unwilling and wanted to unite with the Han to regain Shan Yu's title. It's a pity that as soon as he came, Emperor Ling of Han was critically ill and had no time to take care of Fuluo.

Yu Fuluo had no choice but to take the tribe of sixty or seventy thousand tribes to join forces with the Baibo army to wander and plunder in the area of Hedong County.

When Dong Zhuo set the capital of Chang'an, Yu Fuluo took the opportunity to treat Fufeng and Feng Yi as his family's pastures, speeding back and forth, plundering the people. ”

Lu Bu rolled up the bamboo roll and said, "I'm not interested in these. I'm only interested in how many soldiers he has now? How many generals are there, where are they now? What about combat effectiveness? ”

Li Ru took out a bamboo scroll and handed it to Lu Bu. "As long as the Huns can ride on horses, they can participate in the battle. There are probably more than 37,000 cavalry capable of fighting, and they come and go like the wind. Good at running. As for the combat, it is not as good as Yuan Shao's elite troops, but it is stronger than Zhang Yang, and it should be at the same level as Li Dao and Guo Yan. ”

Lu Bu already had a general understanding of the strength of the Southern Xiongnu, so he picked up a few bamboo rolls and walked out.

"It's like spying on the Southern Huns, and if there is a situation, report it immediately."

Li Ru replied lazily, "Yes." ”

On the 14th, the middle hall of the General's Mansion.

Lu Bu walked into the middle hall and sat down in the main seat in the hall.

A group of subordinates stood up and saluted Lu Bu.

"See the general!"

"All the princes are exempt, sit down!" Lu Bu waved his right hand lightly and said in a loud voice, "Wenhe, what has been the movement of the Xiongnu in recent days?" ”

Lu Bu will not pin all the information on Li Ru, and Jia Xu also controls an intelligence organization.

Jia Xu saluted Cao Cao and replied, "General Yu, the Xiongnu are gathering in Beibei, and it looks like they are going to send troops." If nothing else, many of those Huns came to our Jingzhao when they had time. ”

Lu Bu laughed and said with a heroic expression: "Hahaha...... The Xiongnu were originally ambitious wolves. It's a pity that even if they have a million-strong army, what shall I fear? ”

The Chinese martial arts subordinates of the Tang heard Lü Bu's bold words, and the crowd was excited.

Cheng Lian hurriedly stood up and shouted in unison: "The general is majestic and strategic!" Sweeping Guanzhong is just around the corner! ”

Lu Bu laughed, motioned for everyone to sit down, and then continued to ask Jia Xu: "In addition to the Xiongnu, Xiliang Ma Teng, Yanzhou Liu Bei, Jizhou Yuan Shao, Youzhou Gongsun Zhan, what is the movement of the Sun family in Jiangnan?" ”

"Ma Teng, no change. After Cao Cao was made the general of Zhendong, he is now recruiting talents and recuperating, and it seems that his ambition is not small. ”

Jia Xu continued: "Compared with Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, there is another person's movements that are also worthy of the general's attention!" ”

"Who?"
