In a secret dungeon in Luoyang, Jia Xuzheng looked at the eight-foot tall man in front of him with a playful look.

Of course, this big man is Hua Xiong, which is funny to say. If Cai Yong is placed next to Hua Xiong, it is difficult for anyone to imagine that Cai Yong, with a small body like Cai Yong, can actually knock down

Hua Xiong was twice as big as him. Unfortunately, the reality is that most of the time, if you don't have a tall body, you will definitely win the final victory. Cai Yong just made excuses with his words, and then used a patch of Mongolian sweat medicine, and he was a first-class general like Hua Xiong.

, and he was indeed tricked.

There is not much emphasis on classifying military commanders in this world, but the boundaries between first-class and super-first-class are considered very special. Generally speaking, first-class military commanders are already considered the pinnacle of ordinary military commanders, and super-first-class generals above that can barely be called

They are martial arts masters. At least they have crossed the threshold, have their own "power", and will eventually have their own "way".

It is said that the Nanhua Immortal who was inherited by General Zhang Jiao of that day has his own "Tao". That kind of thing sounds mysterious and mysterious, but to put it bluntly, it is still something that most people can't understand but it is real.

For example, the "Yellow Turban Warrior" created by Zhang Jiao is difficult for outsiders to understand that this is an "invulnerable and invulnerable divine soldier who knows no pain". In fact, it is just that.

And if "Tao" is a realm that can't be touched at any time, in comparison, "Shi" has greater hope. Although it is difficult for a super-class general to break through, it is not impossible to break through. It's just that this breakthrough,

That means the sea and the sky are vast, and it is far more than just an improvement in military force.

For example, if Hua Xiong were to be replaced by a top-notch military general, not to mention Lu Bu, Zhao Yun or Ma Chao, just one like Qu'a would be enough, and it would never be a simple Mongolian sweat medicine.

Eliminate the threat first, and then hide it from others, no matter what

It is still possible to ensure your own safety. This is because super-class generals have extremely strong control over themselves, almost to the limit, and their willpower is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. It is difficult to completely eliminate the effects of the medicine, but it can be done by delaying it.

, and often what we strive for is the time that comes from this delay.

But Hua Xiong would be very unfortunate. He is far from reaching the level of Lu Bu, so after being attacked, he didn't even have time to realize that he had been drugged, and he was already unconscious and collapsed.

Go down and be sent directly to Jia Xu by Cai Yong.

Facing Jia Xu at this moment, Hua Xiong's face was calm and his eyes were calm. But his heart was very uneasy. He gritted his teeth secretly and thought to himself: "The military advisor told a certain person about Cai Bozhe... ah, that's right.

Cai Yong can't be trusted, and I still don't believe it. Now I know that these literati are just idiots, treacherous and disrespectful of loyalty. It's simply disgusting."

Although he was reckless, he was not without wisdom. If he thought about it a little afterwards, he would be able to detect something was wrong, but it was a pity that it was too late to regret it.

No matter how many angry thoughts he had now, he could not change his situation, so he felt helpless afterwards, and even wondered how Lu Bu's military advisor would treat him.

Because he has a pretty good relationship with Lu Bu, Hua Xiong is no stranger to Jia Xu. In fact, Jia Xu and Li Ru worked together at Hulao Pass, and Hua Xiong was already deeply impressed by Jia Xu at that time.

, after all, Li Ru, the military advisor of the Xiliang Army, has always been a celestial being in Hua Xiong’s eyes.

, it was really amazing to see a counselor who didn’t seem to be too far behind him. At that time, Hua Xiong was even thinking that if Jia Xu could be used by his lord as well as the military counselor, then there would be someone like Lu Wenhou.

The most powerful general in the world, why worry about not being able to take over the world and rule the world?

Unfortunately, all the developments that followed were completely beyond Hua Xiong's expectations. Thinking about it now still makes people sigh with regret. Some things may be really destined and cannot be forced. It's not that he regrets not being with the right person, but because

Dong Zhuo felt sorry that he could have lived longer and done better...

"Hua Zijian, if I'm not mistaken, you should have done this on your own initiative and not under Li Wenyou's orders, right?"

Jia Xu didn't speak, he just kept his confident and warm look with a smile. But as soon as he opened his mouth, Hua Xiong was surprised, and then he felt calm. After all, in his opinion, Jia Xu was the same as Li Ru.

It’s not unusual for the same character to guess these things, although I don’t know how the other person guessed them.

But anyway, Hua Xiong will not take the initiative to speak. Even if the other party asks, he has to answer it himself. His attitude now is very simple and straightforward. This time he admits defeat and will be informed if he wants to be killed.

It's up to you, but if you want to get any information about Li Ru from him, don't even think about it.

Jia Xu doesn't mind either. For him, even if the other person doesn't speak, he can still get the answer he wants just by relying on the changes in his expression after hearing his insidious words. What's more, he is facing Hua Xiong's moodiness and anger.

It's even easier for a rough man who can't hide his true state of mind because of his appearance.

If he was facing someone like Lu Bu, Jia Xu would not think that he could get anything from him, let alone thinking about it.

Well, Jia Xu couldn't help but smile bitterly when he thought of this. After all, Lu Bu had subverted too many of the inherent images of military commanders and warriors for him. Even a calm and majestic person like Zhang Liao couldn't compare with him.

"Actually, General Hua does not need to blame Cai Feibai for this matter. After all, if it were not for the compilation of the history of the Han Dynasty, Cai Feibai would not have devoted himself to Dong Zhuo. What's more, he only joined in name and did not help the evildoers.

.But now when facing you old people, he can wipe off his old face and plead for mercy, and teach us to entertain you well.

You have done your best to be kind and righteous. Besides, even without Cai Feibai, you really think that no one would notice your appearance in Luoyang. You must know that Hua Xiong was already a famous person in Luoyang back then. As soon as this face was discovered, you still wanted to hide it.

Traces. But if you want to avoid being discovered, you have to disguise yourself. It’s just Zijian’s disguise. You know what’s going on, right?”

Hua Xiong sneered on his face, but there was a wry smile in his heart. These military advisors had analyzed it with him at the beginning, but unfortunately he didn't believe it, so he was really clever and put on a disguise. Now thinking about it carefully, it was just as Jia Xu said.

Really, there is no thorough disguise for my temperament. On the contrary, I look abnormal in that way, which may arouse suspicion.

Hua Xiong also believed that Jia Xu was not lying to him, but if Cai Yong hadn't done it, even if Jia Xu discovered an abnormality, it would probably have to wait for a while before taking action. But could he really blame Cai Yong for this matter?

Yong?

Although Hua Xiong has a rough and arrogant temper, he has followed Dong Zhuo all year round and interacted with Li Ru. He has seen all kinds of strategies and tactics, and even if he cannot use them, he will prevent others from using them on him. Unfortunately, for Cai Yong, he

I have always been respectful and felt that the other party could not betray me, but now that I think about it, it is really funny. I am a martial artist. How can I be on an equal footing with Cai Feibai, who is famous among scholars?

Hua Xiong was very angry at first, but now he calms down and thinks about it, it is indeed what Jia Xu said.

Hua Xiong couldn't help but sigh in his heart again. He was really not used to the tricks of these counselors. Even Cai Yong, a famous scholar who devoted himself to literature, could think much faster than himself. If the other party was interested, he would easily fall into it.

It's no wonder that Li Ru often puts points and restrictions on him, but it's a pity that it's useless. Some things really require talent.

Jia Xu then said: "Actually, we also know that it was not your original intention to join forces with Ma Chao and attack Luoyang. It was just that Zhang Xiu went to fight before, out of love for Gu Paoze and as a precaution, so he was

It's a drag, but if you are let back this time and you can persuade Li Wenyou to withdraw, we might still be friendly neighbors; otherwise..."

Hua Xiong was stunned. He didn't even have time to think about what Jia Xu's unfinished "otherwise" was. He looked at Jia Xu. After a long time, he finally asked: "You said, you want to let so-and-so go back?"

This was his first time speaking, which also meant that he finally lost the initiative in front of Jia Xu.

Jia Xu secretly laughed in his heart. He is not afraid of you speaking, but it is troublesome to keep silent. To deal with this kind of reckless man, he has many tricks, and his words can make three-inch lotus flowers grow. When the other party speaks, it proves that he has poked the weak point.

Once you are tempted, everything becomes easier.

But what he said is indeed true. This is what Lu Bu meant. If Lu Bu really wants to deal with Li Ru and the others, he has had many opportunities before. What he hopes more is to make them submit to him independently, such as Li Ru and Xu Rong.

, Xu Huang and Hua Xiong are both civil and military talents that Lu Bu values ​​​​very much. Of course, he also values ​​Zhang Xiu. Unfortunately, because of Zhang Ji's death, he also knew that he and the other party were destined to have no relationship.

If Li Ru and others really go to war with Lu Bu, although they can be recruited and surrendered later, there will definitely be many troublesome problems. For example, there will inevitably be casualties in the war. It is inevitable that everyone will be their own master. But if they wait until the same time,

As one master, how to reconcile both sides is a difficult problem. Jiang Jun must be worried and frightened, full of distrust and suspicion. To dispel their doubts, let them gradually integrate and give them the same status and rights, it should be

The best way;

But this may hurt the emotions of the soldiers under Lu Bu's original command, so we can't really be impartial. We need to let them know that there is a bias, and there are differences between internal and external, but it can't be too obvious, otherwise Jiang Jun himself will feel confused.

It will create a sense of imbalance, even if they themselves know that this is a reasonable thing... In short, this is a very troublesome thing, so if possible, both Lu Bu and Jia Xu actually prefer not to have anything to do with Li Ru

conflict.

But if you think about it, you know how difficult this kind of thing is. Not everyone can easily influence someone like Li Ru to change his mind. Just because they have had contact with each other before, Jia Xu knows this very well. If he could cooperate happily at the beginning, he can only

It is said that they are heroes and have the same views, but when it comes to matters related to his personal future and that of his subordinates, both Lu Bu and Jia Xu are just outsiders, with no right to interfere or influence.

Strictly speaking, Li Ru should still hate Lu Bu. No matter how rational a person is, when something happens to him, it is difficult to maintain a rational attitude towards him, especially Li Ru's wife Dong Yuan is Dong Zhuo's favorite.

A beloved daughter, although Jia Xu doesn’t know what Dong Yuan’s situation is now, she

Since Dong Zhuo's death, Dong Yuan has long lost her original cheerfulness and outgoingness, and has become reclusive and her temperament has probably become much gloomier. This is for sure, and these will be remembered on Lu Bu's head, so Li Ru, who has a deep relationship with his wife,

It's hard to say what he would think, and whether he would refuse to accept Lu Bu's surrender even to death.

This is also another main reason why Lu Bu has been silent before. He would rather keep wasting it like this than have to fight against each other after confirming the result.

But now the appearance of Hua Xiong has made Jia Xu see more possibilities. After all, Hua Xiong is also the most respected general in Li Ru's camp and the one with the best relationship with Li Ru, such as Xu Huang and Zhang

Xiu, the force may not be inferior to him. But when it comes to getting Li

Trust, that is far inferior. After all, both of them joined Dong Zhuo in his later period. Fei Huaxiong followed Dong Zhuo at about the same time that Li Ru followed Dong Zhuo. They have long-term colleagues and feelings of loyalty. In this way

Of course, people's words carry more weight.

What's more critical is how Jia Xu can unknowingly influence Hua Xiong and then influence Li Ru without arousing suspicion from the other party.

What Jia Xu said just now was not just rambling, but rather pointed. In this way, he could indirectly understand some of Li Ru's attitude from Hua Xiong.

What can be determined now is that Li Ru does not have too much hatred for Lu Bu. After all, Dong Zhuo's death was self-inflicted on the one hand, and on the other hand it had no direct relationship with Lu Bu. I'm afraid Dong Yuan was strong on the outside but also strong on the inside.

Qi Nu also realized that this was just emotionally unacceptable, and the impact on Li Ru was much smaller. In addition, Jia Xu knew that their only child, Li Ni, seemed to have a good relationship with Lu Bu. Perhaps this was also an influence.

.

After determining these, the success rate of persuasion is increased. It would be best if Hua Xiong can have a subtle influence. Jia Xu also has this confidence; so there is another troublesome problem, which is how to make Li Ru have

It was enough reason to get out without being criticized, especially since Zhang Xiu would not be unable to explain anything.

For a long time, a smile appeared on Jia Xu's face. Apparently he had thought of a plan, which was simply two words, "separate".

At this time, Hua Xiong looked at Jia Xu's smile, and for some reason he suddenly felt the temperature around him drop sharply. His body felt an inexplicable coldness - as if something bad was about to happen.

…

At this time, Li Ru didn't know that something bad was going to happen. He only knew that the recent series of events were not very satisfying.

While he was in Xin'an County, Hongnong County, his mind had already drifted to Luoyang, a hundred miles away.

From Xin'an to Luoyang, you have to pass through Hangu Pass and pass through Gucheng and other places. If you go alone, you can complete this journey in half a day. However, there are many things to consider when marching an army.

It's so easy to walk.

The only thing about the alliance with Ma Chao that could cause some disturbance in Li Ru's heart was that Ma Chao directly appointed him as the army's military advisor, and he had to listen to his opinions at all times.
