"This should be a classic of the Five Doks of Rice, sir, too?" Liu Xie said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"The Taoist arts are integrated, but the arts are easy to be obvious but the Tao is hard to see." Jia Xu smiled bitterly. He asked Liu Xie to take his seat, took another seat, and leaned against the edge of the desk. "Your Majesty returns to the camp late at night, are there any questions or inquiries?"

Liu Xie did not hide it and told him about the difficulties he was facing.

Guo Si is about to attack, and he is not sure whether Dong Cheng's camp can defend it. However, compared with defensive positional battles, he has a headache about how to give Yang Ding the second batch of food.

"The Feixiong Army is on the side, and the risk of delivering food has increased greatly, so we must be prepared."

Jia Xu was also a little surprised. "Did Li Jue send Feixiong Army?"

Liu Xie was also surprised. "Sir... didn't expect it?"

Jia Xu raised his head, looked at Liu Xie in a daze, and laughed silently. "Your Majesty, should I expect it?"

Liu Xie didn't say anything, but just stared at Jia Xu and looked at him for a few more times.

He did think this was in Jia Xu's plan.

Isn't it a perfect solution?

Is Jia Xu's innocent expression acting or helpless?

Jia Xu withdrew his gaze and showed his gaze for a while. "What does Your Majesty think of Zhang Liang and Chen Ping?"

Although Liu Xie did not understand why Jia Xu suddenly changed the subject and mentioned Zhang Liang and Chen Ping, he remembered something.

Yan Zhong, another adviser in Liangzhou, can also be regarded as one of Jia Xu's mentors, and his evaluation of Jia Xu is the wonder of Liangping.

Yan Zhong left his name in history. In addition to this incident, he persuaded Huangfu Song to rebel, but was rejected by Huangfu Song.

Strangely, when Yan Zhong had the opportunity to rebel, he refused to cooperate with Han Sui and Ma Teng and died of resentment.

Jia Xu mentioned Zhang Liang and Chen Ping at this moment, which may be related to Yan Zhong’s evaluation of him?

Liu Xie didn't understand and decided to hide his weakness. Based on his life experience, he knew that most of them didn't need to answer by themselves at this time, just listen patiently.

"Zhang Liang and Chen Ping were both thought tanks of Emperor Gaozu, but their names were very different. Everyone called Zhang Liang a god, but Chen Ping a conspirator. Even Chen Ping said that he had many conspiracies and was banned by Taoism and could not end well."

Jia Xu looked up at Liu Xie with a bitter smile on his lips.

"But who believes that Chen Ping is not a natural conspirator. He also wants to follow the great way like Zhang Liang and use open conspiracy. However, his status is very different, so he can only use small tricks and conspiracy."

Liu Xie looked at Jia Xu quietly.

He heard sympathy from Jia Xu's feelings for Chen Ping, and felt the helplessness he wanted to do for Zhang Liang but had to do for Chen Ping. However, he still didn't know why Jia Xu mentioned Zhang Liang and Chen Ping at this moment.

Jia Xu took a sip of water and put down the cup, his expression calmed down.

"The Tao is the meridian, and even though the river turns thousands of times, it will eventually return to the sea. Therefore, the great Tao can be seen. The art is the weft, flowing in a thin stream, leaking traces and revealing traces, living and dying in a day and a night, which is difficult to predict. Therefore, the sage governs the country with Tao, seeking its vastness, and using art to help the urgent needs, seeking its effectiveness."

Now, Liu Xie understood.

Jia Xu had gone around such a big circle, but it actually meant the same thing.

He used a plan to discord Li Jue, and Guo Jue was true, but he could not predict every reaction of Li Jue and Guo Si.

For example, Li Jue sent Li Shi to lead the Feixiong Army to reinforce.

"Your Majesty promised to deliver food, but it was not a dead promise." Jia Xu took another bowl and poured half a bowl of water for Liu Xie. "Yang Ding worked with Li Jue, so he naturally knew the combat power of the Feixiong Army. Even if Your Majesty cannot fulfill his promise, he can still understand His Majesty's difficulties."

"Then... let Yang Ding surrender?"

"Yang Ding surrendered, but there are advantages and disadvantages. First, he has a grudge with Li Jue, so he can only form an alliance with Guo Si. In this way, Li Jue will have to spend more time on guarding them. Second, it can increase the military rations of Li Jue and Guo Si. If Li Jue's military rations are not good, he will either retreat or attack urgently."

Jia Xu twisted his fingers and pondered again: "The trouble is only lies in Mr. Yang. However, he is from Huayin and is familiar with the terrain. If he is not good, he can support him in the depths of Mount Hua for a while and he will be in danger of life."

Liu Xie nodded gently, but felt a little uneasy.

Jia Xu's analysis is correct. Even if Yang Ding surrenders, it may not be a bad thing, but may be a good thing.

But is this Jia Xu’s truth?

Liu Xie weighed the pros and cons for a while, but still couldn't make up his mind and decided to put the issue aside for the time being.

The agreement between him and Yang Ding is still two or three days away, so you can consider it again.

"Thank you for your advice, sir." Liu Xie bowed slightly to greet him.

Jia Xu bowed and returned the tribute. "This is the duty that the minister should do."

"Can you tell me about the Feixiong Army and Li Shi, who commanded the Feixiong Army?"

"Of course." Jia Xu took a sip of water and said slowly: "The Feixiong Army was originally Dong Zhuo's army, including Han people, Qiang people, and Mihu in the north. The reason why they took Feixiong as their name was that the Han Qiang in Liangzhou believed in bears the bear, and the other was that Dong Zhuo himself respected Jiang Shang."

"As for Li Shi..." Jia Xu smiled. "He is the legitimate son of Li Jue and his wife Hu. He is extremely favored by Hu, so he can command the Feixiong Army with a weak title. He is not bad at talent, but has never experienced life and death. It is difficult to lead a tiger and wolf army like Feixiong Army."

Liu Xie was puzzled. "Li Jue has been fighting all day long these years, but Li Shi has led the Feixiong Army, but has never experienced life and death?"

"Among the generals of Dong Zhuo, Li Jue is the strongest and has a plan, so he usually won't send out the Feixiong Army. Moreover, the Feixiong Army is famous, and his opponents often feel timid when they see the Feixiong Army's battle flag, and take the initiative to retreat, and will not sacrifice their lives to fight."

Liu Xie suddenly realized and then asked: "Liangzhou has produced elite cavalry. In addition to the Feixiong Army, what other elite cavalry are there in Liangzhou?"

Jia Xu shook his head. "Liangzhou has produced good horses and many cavalry, but it is rare to have elite cavalry. Dong Zhuo fought for his life and spent his family wealth, and he saved up more than 2,000 Feixiong Army, known as three thousand. In recent years, he suffered a lot of losses in the Central Plains, but he was not able to replenish it. In fact, it was only more than 1,000 people."

"There are so few elite cavalry in Liangzhou?"

Jia Xu smiled, waved his hand, signaling Liu Xie not to be surprised.

"The so-called elites not only need thousands of war-torn men, but also have the discipline of enforcing orders and bans. Liangzhou has many Hu Feng, lacks integrity, and is born to pursue profits. There are countless war-torn men, and there are only a handful of people who can enforcing orders and bans. The reason why the Feixiong Army was able to become Dong Zhuo's troops is because Dong Zhuo is one of the many warriors, who are powerful in Xiliang, and share wealth and suffering with the soldiers. Only in this way can he conquer his heart and gain his life."

Liu Xie glanced at Jia Xu, but he wanted to speak but stopped.

Jia Xu does mean to justify Dong Zhuo’s name, but what he is talking about is the facts.

As a warrior, Dong Zhuo has his own personal charm when he was able to live in Liangzhou for so many years and eventually become the leader of the warriors in Liangzhou.

As for whether this charm conforms to mainstream moral concepts, it is not something that Dong Zhuo can solve.

The morality of the people of Liangzhou is originally different from that of the people of the Central Plains.

"Then... sir, can you defeat Feixiong Jun?" Liu Xie asked tentatively.

Jia Xu's eyes flashed for a moment. "Your Majesty can recall Lu Bu, and in the name of Lu Bu's flying general and his courage, there may be three-point chance."
