"Oh, Lu Bu's IQ is getting bigger!" Chang'an, Taiwei's Mansion, Ye Zhao was really surprised when he received a report from the front line. Lu Bu actually knew that Hongnong could not defend, so he took the initiative to retreat?

"Lord, Lu Bu is not worth worrying about, but the Hongnong population..." Li Ru frowned. After all, Hongnong also had a population of more than 200,000. He was taken away by Lu Bu. Not only did he strengthen Lu Bu, even if Ye Zhao took Hongnong, he still had to continue to add population to Hongnong. Otherwise, what would it be for a wasteland?

"How did the little warlords in Sanfu and the other area clean up?" Ye Zhao stood up and pondered.

"The clarification has not been completed yet. Although these military laws are not strong, they are spread all over the country, and several generals are inadequate." Li Ru shook his head and said.

"Then let Duan Wei go!" Ye Zhao thought for a while and said, "Tell Duan Wei not to confront Lu Bu, just stop the people from coming down."

"Here!" Li Ru nodded. Now all the generals around Ye Zhao have been sent out to clear out all the bandits and bandits. The surrendered troops in the Chi camp in Kunming are not available for the time being. The Chang'an defenders cannot be moved lightly, and only Duan Wei's 20,000 troops can be mobilized directly.

...

Hongnong, Hu County.

The people of Huayin have been migrated here because they may be intercepted by Ye Zhao at any time. Therefore, Wei Ji was very cruel in this migration. Those who are willing to cooperate, those who are unwilling to cooperate, and those who are unwilling to cooperate, will be killed.

Anyway, Hongnong was next to Ye Zhao's territory. Those who stayed there were Ye Zhao's subjects in the future. Although there was no accurate news from Hedong, Zhao Yun's men had been entrenched in Hongnong for so long. Wei Ji did not think that the Wei family could survive. He could not find Ye Zhao to avenge this family-destroying grudge. He could only vent his sarcasm in these people who might become Ye Zhao's people and to take advantage of his mother's demeanor. Wei Ji now only wants to kill people.

As the first prince to surrender to him, Lu Bu was very polite to Wei Ji and promised to build Yang, Shunyang, and Hecheng to cultivate the Wei family. These three counties are also connected with Hanzhong. If Ye Zhao went to Hanzhong to send troops, Lu Bu believed that Wei Ji would be more active than anyone else.

Wei Ji accepted Lu Bu's arrangement very simply. He had no choice now. He wanted to take revenge, but with the current situation, it would be difficult for Ye Zhao to fight in a short period of time, so he could only choose Lu Bu. As for the troops, Lu Bu left him three thousand troops, and the rest were all incorporated into his own army, which was also the price of hiding Lu Bu.

In fact, no prince could allow his subordinates to have 30,000 troops independent of him. Even if Lu Bu did not understand politics, he would never give in to such things.

Holding 30,000 soldiers in his hand, he has a rich land in Hedong, but now he has to rely on others to hand over the military power in his hands. This feeling is not good, but no matter how bad he feels, he can only endure it.

"So many people, hundreds of miles, twenty miles a day..." Lu Bu rode his horse under the city of Shan County, looked at the direction of the city wall, frowned and looked at Jia Xu and said, "Military advisor, how long will it take to move the population away?"

"At the current speed, the last batch may take two months." Jia Xu said with a wry smile. This period was not smooth.

"Two months?" Lu Bu frowned and said, "I have ordered people to rush back to Nanyang according to the military advisor's wishes and arranged these people. But two months are too long, so how could Ye Zhao remain indifferent?"

Jia Xu smiled and said, "So, I suggest that Wen Hou give up Shan County and lead the army to lie on the side of Taihua Mountain. If the Shu army wants to pursue, it must pass here. With Wen Hou's ability, he can attack head-on and buy time for our army."

"I said that Zhang Xiu's son will be given a way out, but if I leave, what if he leads his troops to stop me from returning?" Lu Bu frowned at Jia Xu.

"If Mr. Wen trusts me and is willing to go to the city, he will definitely convince Zhang Xiu to withdraw from Shaanxi County." Jia Xu bowed.

"No, what if Zhang Xiu was malicious about the military advisor?" Lu Bu frowned.

"Don't worry, Mr. Wen, I have known Zhang Xiu for several years. I know this person's temperament and will definitely convince him to withdraw his troops!" Jia Xu said with a smile.

"Okay!" Lu Bu nodded and said, "Wei Xu, Cheng Lian!"

"The last general is here!" Wei Xu and the second general Cheng Lian stepped forward and bowed.

"You two will go with the military advisor to protect your safety." Lu Bu said calmly.

"This..." The two of them changed slightly when they heard this. If Zhang Xiu had malicious intentions, then there would be no return.

"Even if you go, there are only three thousand soldiers in Shan County now. If Zhang Xiu dares to touch you and others, I will slaughter the city!" Lu Bu glanced at Shan County and snorted coldly.

At this time, there were not many defenders in Shan County. Lu Bu did not continue to attack because of Jia Xu's face. Otherwise, Shan County would have been destroyed!

"Here!" the two bowed.

"Also, bring the military advisor back!" Lu Bu glanced at Jia Xu and said.

Jia Xu smiled bitterly, knowing that Lu Bu did not believe in him. It was better to say that the two were monitoring him than to protect him. However, Lu Bu did not make it clear, and he couldn't say it out. After bowing, he took the two out of the camp and went outside Shan County to ask the city gate.

In the town of Shaanxi County, Zhang Xiu greeted him with filial piety, looked at Jia Xu with a bad look and said, "Sir, I treat you with politeness, but you repay me like this?"

"Xu only wants to survive." Jia Xu smiled and did not care about Zhang Xiu's reproach: "General, remember, whether it is General Zhang Ji or General, Xu has not betrayed anyone."

"Then what's wrong with you here?" Zhang Xiu's heart was blocked and he said in a muffled voice: "If you say surrender to Lu Bu, you'll be spared!"

"Can the two generals let me talk to General Zhang alone?" Jia Xu did not answer, but looked at Wei Xu and Cheng Lian.

The two of them were timid. Now they saw Zhang Xiu’s unkind gaze and nodded and said, “We will wait outside the door for the military advisor.”

"Military advisor?" Zhang Xiu sneered and looked at Jia Xu and said.

"Xu has already said that, to keep it!" Jia Xu didn't care and looked at Zhang Xiu and said, "This time he came to persuade the general to withdraw his troops and go to Hanoi."

"Wei Family?" Zhang Xiu frowned.

"It's not because of the Wei family. The Taiwei has sent troops to Hedong. The Wei family has now been destroyed. Wei Ji has joined Lu Bu's command." Jia Xu shook his head: "At this time, Lu Bu wants to move the people of Hongnong, but he does not want to get entangled with the general. Therefore, I am trying to persuade Lu Bu and allow me to come and persuade the general to withdraw."

"I will die with that Lu Bu!" Zhang Xiu said coldly.

"I will not die together. Lu Bu has now merged with the troops of Hanoi, and his troops are so strong. Only the Guanzhong Taiwei. If Lu Bu is determined to attack the city, there will be only three thousand soldiers in the city at this time. How can he die together with him?" Jia Xu looked at Zhang Xiu and shook his head and sighed: "The useful body left may be a day for revenge in the future. If he dies here today, there will be no revenge. The Taiwei is a virtuous and virtuous master. The martial arts and military skills of the major general are of the best. If he defects to the Taiwei, he will have achievements in the future. Moreover, Nanyang is close to Hanzhong. The Taiwei and Wen Hou will have a battle in the future. The general will die at this time, which means no purpose."

"Why are you helping me?" Zhang Xiu frowned and looked at Jia Xu.

"I joined Mr. Wen to survive. I came to persuade you to be kind to the past." Jia Xu said with a smile.

"Since the sir also feels that the Grand Marshal is the wise ruler, why not go to Hedong with me?" Zhang Xiu frowned.

"The general thinks that if Marquis Wen let me into the city, would he not be prepared? If Xu had not returned to the camp before the general retreated, it would be difficult for the general to cross the river!" Jia Xu shook his head at Zhang Xiu and said, "He had this intention before, but Lu Bu sent Wei Xu and Cheng Lian to come over, and Jia Xu calmed down his mind. At least for the time being, he would not have the chance to leave."

Zhang Xiu looked at Jia Xu for a long time, then sighed and bowed to Jia Xu and said, "There were so offensive things before Xiu, please don't blame me!"

"There is no way to do anything about General Zhang Ji's death. Please don't blame the general. I will not help the general. It's just that the situation at that time will not be saved unless General Zhang Ji is willing to give up Hongnong!" Jia Xu said to Zhang Xiu. He knew that Zhang Xiu was always worried about this matter.

Give up Hongnong? How is it possible?

Zhang Ji nodded to express his understanding. He knew his uncle's character. It was impossible to make Zhang Ji give up the foundation of Hongnong. At this moment, he also understood why Jia Xu had been avoiding him.

"After this matter, Xu went to leave first. If I didn't leave, I'm afraid that Marquis Wen would order the city to attack. The general must remember that after entering the tent of the Taiwei, don't mention revenge easily. The Taiwei governs the army with laws. If the general asks the Taiwei without merit, he will be disgusted by the Taiwei. I hope the general will be careful!" Jia Xu finally explained.

"I have recorded the embroidery." Zhang Xiu sighed and said, "If there is still a chance in the future, I hope I can work with the teacher again."

Jia Xu nodded and said nothing more. After going out to meet Cheng Lian and Wei Xu, he immediately left the city and did not stop in Shan County.

Zhang Ji sent Jia Xu to the city gate. After watching Jiaxu leave, he came back a little lost, but saw a beautiful woman waiting at home.

"I've seen my aunt!" Seeing the beautiful woman, Zhang Xiu hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "How did Aunt come out?"

"I heard that Mr. Wenhe came, but I wonder if he had a solution?" the beautiful woman asked in a low voice.

The beautiful woman's surname is Zou, who is a fair woman in Chang'an. She is born with a beautiful appearance. Zhang Ji used to be interested in Chang'an. Although the concubine he married was an elder, in fact, Zou was only two years older than Zhang Xiu. She could chat with Zhang Xiu on weekdays. Later, Zhang Ji's official wife died of illness. Because she loved the Zou family, she made her a official wife. Although she was a low-class family, Zhang Xiu never felt rude after Zhang Ji's death. She was respectful to Zou family. If anything, she would discuss with Zou family first.

Zou had heard of Jia Xu before and knew that he was a wise man. So after learning that Jia Xu was coming, he wanted to come over and ask Jia Xu to come out. Unexpectedly, Jia Xu came quickly and went quickly, which disappointed Zou.

"Sir, I have persuaded Lu Bu to let me leave. Tonight, my nephew will escort my aunt across the river and go to Hedong to join the Grand Marshal." Zhang Xiu bowed and said.
