Chapter 226 Strain

Dong Zhuo smiled.

He had a fat face, a bunch of beards and thick eyebrows. With this smile, his beard and eyebrows were squeezed together, extremely ugly!

"So, Lu Lang has a crush on Cai Yong's daughter, haha... Jia Xu, tell me, what is Lu Lang's plan? After listening to it, if our family thinks this plan is OK, then we can agree to him!"

"Returning to the Taishi, Lu Lang said... He would only offer advice if the Taishi sent these people to the Yangxian boundary..."

"What?"

Dong Zhuo was angry again and cursed: "It's ungrateful. Now the coalition of princes is in full swing. How can our family have time to bargain with him?"

In fact, Lu Lang also took this eye on this. The current situation in Luoyang is really infuriating, so... Lu Lang made this suggestion to Jia Xu.

A journey of life, a clever plan, just a few people. Lu Lang believes that Dong Zhuo will definitely agree to such a deal.

Even if Dong Zhuo was unsure of his mind and asked Li Ru, Lu Lang was not afraid...

Because now, Li Ru definitely didn't expect what this strategy was to retreat to the enemy!

"Okay, you go down first!" Dong Zhuo waved his hand to Jia Xu. In Dong Zhuo's opinion, Jia Xu was just a disciple under his son-in-law, so he naturally would not pay attention to it.

Jia Xu left the Grand Tutor's Mansion and came directly to his home.

After entering the door, Mrs. Jia came out to greet Jia Xu and told Jia Xu about something.

That is, Yan Zhong, a famous Western Liang scholar who has always valued Jia Xu, died!

"Dead?"

Jia Xu suddenly felt shocked and asked, "How did you die?"

"It is said that last year, Han Sui and Ma Teng mutiny in Hanyang. They forced Mr. Yan to be the leader of the rebels. Mr. Yan refused to obey and committed suicide..."

Mrs. Jia Xu felt a little discouraged for no reason. He said casually: "In this world, alas..."

After sighing, Jia Xu suddenly looked at his wife and said to him: "Madam, the current situation is turbulent. I originally thought that our family would be able to live a stable life when we came to the capital, but... under the pressure of the army of princes, the capital is no longer safe! This time I came back from Bingzhou, and I guess the Grand Master will order the burning of Luoyang soon. Then... where are you, mother and son going?"

"Burn Luoyang?" Jia Xu's words scared Mrs. Jia, and then Mrs. Jia asked: "Master, this Luoyang is the thousand-year-old capital. Is the Grand Master so brave to burn it?"

Jia Xu said: "What do you know about a woman? This is a last resort..."

Thinking of this, Jia Xu thought to himself, wondering how Dong Zhuo and Li Ru were discussing, would he agree to Lu Lang’s request?

Shaking his head, Jia Xu said, "No matter what, you can't stay in the capital anymore. I tell you... Don't take anything at home. Hurry up and take our children out of the city with you and the carriage. The further you go, the better. Try not to let people see your identity... Just remember, after going north and crossing the Yellow River, you will enter Hongnong City and then turn to a place called Yang County. When you get there, you will find Jia Kui, the prefect of Yang County, and explain your identity to him!"

"Master..." Mrs. Jia asked, "What should you do?"

Jia Xu sighed leisurely and said, "I have to finish some things before I can leave, otherwise I can't leave even if I want to! Now it's a disaster, don't think so much!"

After explaining to his wife, Jia Xu left his home again and headed to Niu Fu's military camp.

On the other hand, after Jia Xu left, Dong Zhuo asked Li Ru: "You haven't spoken just now, but now what do you have to say?"

Li Ru shook the feather fan and said, "Ming Gong, judging by Jia Wenhe's words, Lu Lang seems to be a lustful person. It's better to send the person he wants from Lu Lang's intention..."

"What if I sent the person over but Lu Lang refused to give him a suggestion?" Dong Zhuo was unhappy and asked Li Ru: "You are also a resourceful person. Do you have any tricks to get rid of the enemy?"

Li Ru said with some embarrassment: "Move the capital to Chang'an..."

"That's to avoid the enemy!" Dong Zhuo said angrily: "It's not to retreat to the enemy!"

There is only one word difference between avoiding the enemy and repelling the enemy, but the purpose is far from the same.

Avoid means evasion. When moving the capital to Chang'an, you can only avoid the attack of powerful enemies, but you cannot disrupt the alliance of the princes. At that time... what if the princes kill to Chang'an again?

And at this time, a mutiny had just occurred in Liangzhou, behind Dong Zhuo. If the capital was not useful, there would be no place to retreat!

Therefore, after hearing the news of Yan Zhong's death, Jia Xu immediately asked his wife to leave the capital with his children.

Because Jia Xu had already expected that under such circumstances, Dong Zhuo would definitely agree to Lu Lang's request and agreed to Lu Lang's request. This is the first step, and next... it is to move the capital!

In the Grand Tutor's Mansion, after Dong Zhuo was angry, Li Ru still didn't think of a solution, so the two of them had to stare at each other.

Finally, Dong Zhuo had no choice but to say, "Come on, invite Jia Wenhe!"

"Ming Gong is..." Li Ru asked.

Dong Zhuo said, "Hmph! What else can I do? I can only agree to Lu Lang's request. Our family will let Jia Xu send Cai Yong and Situ Wang Yun's family all over! In addition... the steps of the princes outside the pass must be stopped! Let's do this, you and Fengxian personally lead the army to camp in front of Hulao Pass. How many days can you delay, try to delay time and wait for news from Lu Lang!"

"Since that's the case, I'm going to say goodbye!"

Li Ru nodded and took the order.

When Jia Xu arrived at the Grand Tutor's Mansion, Dong Zhuo said to Jia Xu: "How about you send this person Lu Lang wants?"

Jia Xu shook his head and said to Dong Zhuo: "I'm afraid I won't take good care of you along the way!"

Dong Zhuo laughed, actually... although he is a rough man, he is not stupid. Dong Zhuo asked this sentence on purpose, wanting to see Jia Xu's reaction.

This time Jia Xu went to Bingzhou, but Lu Lang was favored by him. Dong Zhuo naturally knew that the people he sent to protect Jia Xu would definitely report to Dong Zhuo when he came back.

Seeing Jia Xu's answer like this, Dong Zhuo believed that Jia Xu had not deceived him, because if Jia Xu and Lu Lang had colluded, then Jia Xu would definitely be happy after knowing that he could escort Cai Yong and others north!

But Jia Xu's face not only did not look happy, but instead looked worried, which made Dong Zhuo very satisfied!

Dong Zhuo said: "Wenhe is really a steady person. Since that's the case...you can go to the palace with me first, tell the emperor and ministers about Lu Lang's request first, and let us make plans!"
