Hongnong, Hu County.

Zhang Ji's death had a great impact on the morale of the army. Although Zhang Xiu was still entangled with Lu Bu, Shan County was in danger and Zhang Xiu was unable to take care of the remaining two counties. Lu Bu failed to capture Shan County for several days and was no longer in the mood to stay here for a long time, leaving Wei Xu and Cheng Lian to continue to restrain Zhang Xiu here, so he led his army to attack Hongnong, Hu County and Huayin.

Jia Xu is very annoyed now. Although he thought that Zhang Xiu would come to find him, he didn't expect that Zhang Xiu, who has always been respectful to him, would directly tie him up.

The so-called gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. As early as when Ye Zhao and Li Jue and Guo Si were fighting, Jia Xu had already seen that Hongnong could not stay out of it. Even if Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew did not participate, Hongnong was likely to be involved in the competition among various forces.

At that time, Zhang Xiu had been treating him with courtesy, and Zhang Ji was not good to him, which made Jia Xu hesitate and did not leave immediately, and gave Zhang Xiu the opportunity to send someone to tie him up in desperation.

Zhang Xiu didn't see him, but Lu Bu saw him!

Looking at the Nanyang soldiers who surrounded him and others in front of him, Jia Xu kept twitching his lips, he hesitated for a moment, and he shouldn't have taken him to the danger.

The person in charge of escorting Jia Xu looked at the Nanyang army vigilantly, but saw a burly but slightly vulgar general from the Nanyang army. He looked down at these people with a high profile and frowned and said, "I am Gao Sheng, the commander of the thief under the tent of Marquis Wen. You can put down your weapons and survive."

These guards are not ordinary guards. They are all Zhang Xiu's confidants, so they are reluctant to surrender. However, one of them suddenly waved his knife and cut off the ropes on Jia Xu's body.

"No... don't..." Jia Xu wanted to stop him, but it was too late, and he watched the rope cut off by the other party.

"Mr. Wenhe, I have offended many times along the way. Now I am in a situation of death. I think I can't protect my husband's safety. Now let me go, and let my husband go to life and death. "The guard bowed to Jia Xu and said.

Jia Xu twitched his lips and complained in his heart, "If you don't cut this rope, I still have a way out. Now that you act like this, you will cut off your own way out!"

The guard obviously couldn't hear Jia Xu's heart, so he turned around, raised his weapon, and roared: "I will never surrender!"

"I will never surrender!" More than a dozen personal guards shouted slogans and roared at the surrounding Nanyang army. In less than a cup of tea, they were killed, leaving only Jia Xu standing alone in the siege, which seemed a little desolate.

"General, what should I do with this person?" Because Jia Xu was not moved and looked like an important person, a military marquis looked at Gao Sheng and said.

"Kill." Gao Sheng waved impatiently, no matter whether he is important or not, Zhang Ji was killed by Lu Bu. Even if it is important, what's the use?

Jia Xu's expression changed drastically. Without waiting for the soldiers around him to take action, he quickly shouted: "Wait, I am the old friend of Marquis Wen!"

When the soldiers heard this, they couldn't help but look at Gao Sheng hesitantly.

"Old friend?" Gao Sheng looked at Jia Xu disdainfully and said, "I have been with Marquis Wen for many years. When I was in Luoyang, I was already under the command of Marquis Wen. Why did you never know the person you are? Besides, when did Marquis Wen have the Marquis Wen among the generals of Xiliang?"

"It's true!" Jia Xu took a deep breath and said solemnly: "But I still remember when Dong Zhuo was in Chang'an, he wanted to harm Mr. Wen. Who told me?"

Tell the news?

Gao Sheng couldn't help but hesitate when he heard this. He was sure that he had seen almost all the people in Xiliang, but this rumor was a private matter. Even if it was true, it was said to be a secret. How could it be known to others?

"General Gao, why not send me to the Marquis Wen? When you see Marquis Wen, everything will be clear." Jia Xu saw Gao Sheng hesitant and breathed a sigh of relief. He finally saved his life for the time being. However, what should I say when I arrived at Lu Bu's place, I still need to think carefully.

Gao Sheng nodded and said, "It's just right to go back to the camp, take him with him!"

Anyway, it would be fine to meet Lu Bu and take care of someone. If it was really a former friend of Lu Bu and was killed by himself, it would inevitably make Lu Bu unhappy. Gao Sheng was able to be prosperous under Lu Bu for years. The most important thing is that he was good at being a human being and not afraid of trouble. Ye Zhao didn't eat the trick, but he was very generous with Lu Bu.

This time, Gao Sheng came out and contacted Wei Ji at the order of Lu Bu. Wei Ji had withdrawn from the Lianshao camp and did not return to Hedong, but rushed straight to Huayin, hoping to cooperate with Lu Bu and go to Lu Bu's command to protect him first. If Lu Bu agrees, Wei Ji is willing to serve Lu Bu temporarily.

The news of Hedong being captured has been heard. Wei Ji in Hedong cannot go back. And Lu Bu is willing to accept it if there are princes who have defected. This represents the recognition of the people of the world. Moreover, Wei Ji also brought an army of 30,000 to enhance Lu Bu's troops. Even if Ye Zhao counterattacks, the two families will combine into one and defend Nanyang.

Both sides have intentions to cooperate, so it is naturally not difficult to go to negotiate this time. In order to show sincerity, Wei Ji also sent Gao Sheng a lot of war horses for Gao Sheng to bring back. Anyway, the Hedong Army is not available for the time being, so it is better to give it to Lu Bu.

On the way back, it was a coincidence that they met Jia Xu and his group. Now that Lu Bu's troops are surrounding Shan County, the people who escorted Jia Xu are unable to enter and wander around. They happened to meet Gao Sheng who came back to report his life, and there was a previous scene.

In Daying, Shaanxi County, after Gao Sheng reported Wei Ji's intentions, he said to Lu Bu: "Lord, on the way back, he met several generals of Zhang Xiu's troops escort one. The man said he was his lord's old friend. The last general dared not be good at it. He brought the person back and asked the lord to deal with it."

"Old friends?" Lu Bu thought for a while. He didn't remember any old friends he had in Chang'an. He frowned and said, "I don't remember any old friends he had in Chang'an?"

It is almost the same for the enemy. After all, Dong Zhuo was killed by Lu Bu at the time, and the generals of Xiliang had no good impression of Lu Bu.

"This person said that Dong Zhuo wanted to murder his lord back then, which was his secret!" Gao Sheng bowed and said.

"Stealing?" Lu Bu thought about it. It was about seven or eight years ago. He had already forgotten the specific situation and details at that time. After a moment, he waved his hand and said, "Take him in and let me see this old friend!"

It is also today that Lu Bu is in a good mood, Hongnong is in control, Wei Ji comes to invest, everything is developing in a good direction. Although Ye Zhao even acquired the eight counties of Jingzhao, Lu Bu did not accompany him.

Soon, under Gao Sheng's leadership, Jia Xu came down to Lu Bu's central army tent. Seeing Lu Bu, he smiled and walked forward and said, "Does Wen Hou still remember his old friend?"

"You are..." Lu Bu looked at Jia Xu carefully, with a cute smile on his fat face, very friendly and familiar, but he couldn't remember it.

"Jia Xu, the chief clerk of the former Central Secretary!" Jia Xu said with a smile.

"Some impression." Lu Bu shook his head and said, "But which general is the Central Army?"

Back then from Luoyang to Chang'an, the General Kehai of the Central Army went there. Zhu Jun, Huangfu Song and Niu Fu were all appointed Generals of the Central Army, but these people seemed to be very different from him.

"Wen Hou can tell why he was tied up by Zhang Xiu?" Jia Xu did not answer, but smiled.

"How do I know?" Lu Bu frowned and looked at Jia Xu, feeling a little bad. Ye Zhao was talking to him so much back then.

Jia Xu observed his expression and saw Lu Bu being unhappy, and quickly said with a solemn expression: "I am not hiding it. I am here this time to see Mr. Wen and was tied up by Zhang Xiu. Mr. Wen has now obtained all the land of Hongnong, but he did not know that the disaster was coming. I am really worried!"

"Random!" Gao Sheng, Cao Xing, Hou Cheng, Wei Xu and others turned cold when they heard this, and looked at Jia Xu and said sternly: "Where does the sour scholar come from? How dare you exaggerate?"

Jia Xu was not afraid and smiled and said, "Half Wen has felt that although the land is large, it is powerful and unsatisfied when it comes to governance?"

"This is true, but why is a disaster coming?" Lu Bu frowned. Since entering Hongnong, he felt a little too busy. Nanyang needs to take care of it, and Hongnong also needs to take care of it, which makes him feel like he is out of reach.

"Nanyang to Hongnong is nearly 400 miles. If we count from Shan County, it will be as many as 600 miles." Jia Xu saw a large map in the tent, walked to the map and gestured, "Although the Marquis of Wen has benefited a lot in this battle, Wenhou will look at it. From Hongnong to Nanyang, there are Taihua Mountain, Kusong Mountain, Kinmen, Xionger Mountain and Fengshui. Communication and transportation are inconvenient. It seems that the two places are connected, but the information transmission is quite sluggish. Moreover, Wenhou has thought that if Ye Zhao took advantage of the Marquis of Wen to send a brigade of partial troops from Hanzhong to Zhuyang and loot the rear, can Wenhou save it?"

Lu Bu's expression gradually became solemn.

Jia Xu smiled and said, "We need to know that Hongnong is just gaining, but the hearts of the people have not been attached to it. The Wenhou Wenhou has been in operation for several years. It is the foundation of Wenhou. Now he abandons the foundation and occupies Hongnong, which is to abandon the foundation and chase the end. Once Nanyang is in a loss, Ye Zhao will then move his troops eastward. I know that Wen Hou is brave and brave, and is the most brave in the world. However, after all, he is outnumbered. Now Ye Zhao not only has the Shu army for his minions, but also gathers the soldiers of Li Jue and Guo Si, and at least 150,000 troops. In addition, Ye Zhao was originally a man who knew the army. Is Wen Hou confident that his troops were insufficient and the people were not attached to him. To defeat Ye Zhao and protect Hongnong?"

"This..." Lu Bu couldn't help but speak in a speech when he heard this. His family knew his family's affairs. When it comes to military strategy, he asked himself not to lose to anyone, but not to mention that the enemy is large and we are few, even if the troops on both sides are equal, he might not be able to beat Ye Zhao. In terms of courage, Ye Zhao is not weak, and Dian Wei is also the top general of the world. Even if Lu Bu can be unbeaten, it is not easy to win. Overall, he has no chance of winning at all.

"Even if the Marquis of Wen can win, Nanyang is the place where Longxing is, and Marquis of Wen abandoned Nanyang and guarded Hongnong, it would be unwise. If Ye Zhao was taught to obtain Nanyang, Marquis of Wen should look at the map. The west, east and north sides of Hongnong are surrounded by Ye Zhao. The so-called long-term defense will lead to a loss. It is difficult to see what the Marquis of Wen has the chance to win!" After Jia Xu finished speaking, he stood with his hands behind his back and said no more.

Lu Bu looked in front of the map for a long time, sighed and bowed to Jia Xu, "If it weren't for Mr. Bu, it would be in danger. But if he gave up Hongnong, Bu would not be willing to give up. Can you teach me?"

"This..." Jia Xu didn't think about it at all, but at this time Lu Bu asked for his life, his mind moved quickly, and after a moment, nodded and smiled: "Wen Hou just needs to move all the Hongnong people to Nanyang, and even if Ye Zhao gets Hongnong, it will be just a wasteland!"

"Good plan!" Lu Bu smiled and smiled.

Jia Xu despised this trick, Li Ru and Ye Zhao had used it.

Lu Bu put his shoulders on Jia Xu and said to everyone: "I don't expect that there are talented people coming to vote today. In the future... I will ask Mr. Jia for the name of the name?"

"I dare not, Jia Xu, whose name is Wenhe." Jia Xu had a bad premonition and said with a thorn in his mouth.

"In the future, Wenhe will be our military advisor, so you must not be rude to Mr. Wenhe!" Lu Bulang laughed and said, "Looking at the face of Mr. Zhang Xiu, let him spare his life, Gao Sheng, go and inform Wei Ji and let him cooperate with the migration of the people of Hongnong."

"Here!"
