In the big tent, Li Xiang's compliments immediately harvested a large wave of summoning points for him.
Of course, if you are courteous, you must also compliment others when they compliment you. Dong Zhuo still understood this.
"General Li is really ridiculous. Everyone in the north knows General Li's reputation." After hearing Li Xiang's compliment, Dong Zhuo immediately replied with a smile.
"General Li, I have something to say but I don't know whether to say it or not?" Dong Zhuo suddenly said in a dilemma.
"It's okay to say it, Governor Dong," Li Xiang replied immediately.
"Hahaha, General Li and I hit it off like old friends. I wonder if I can shamelessly call General Li a good brother?" Dong Zhuo asked with a smile.
Li Xiang never expected that Dong Zhuo would say such a thing. You know, Dong Zhuo is a little older than his father.
However, in Li Xiang's view, Dong Zhuo still has great use value in the future. Since he has asked so, he can just agree. What's more, with the age gap between the two, Li Xiang feels that he is called
It’s not a bad idea to say brother.
Furthermore, now that he is still on Dong Zhuo's territory, even if Xing Tian is waiting for orders outside the tent, he is safe. But if he really wants to refuse Dong Zhuo's request, it may not end well in a while.
"I have met my elder brother." Now that he had made his decision, Li Xiang did not hesitate and immediately changed his title and saluted Dong Zhuo.
"Hahaha, dear brother, you are so polite. Come on, dear brother, let us have another drink."
Dong Zhuo was obviously in a good mood at this time. At this time, Dong Zhuo was not the Dong Zhuo who would make waves in the Han Dynasty in the future.
At this time, Dong Zhuo was just a prefect, and he was obviously not doing well in the court despite his powerful background.
From Dong Zhuo's point of view, it would be very beneficial for him to make friends with Li Xiang. Li Xiang's father, Li Yang, was a dignified pastor of Bingzhou, and Li Xiang himself came from the Li family, a top family in Bingzhou. At a young age, he was famous far and wide, and he was bound to have a bright future.
Dong Zhuo felt that it would definitely be beneficial to his future development if he could make friends with Li Xiang.
Dong Zhuo achieved his goal, and Li Xiang felt that he was not at a loss, and maybe there would be additional profits in the future. Therefore, for a while, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.
However, in the middle of drinking, Li Xiang sighed slightly as if by accident.
Dong Zhuo was sitting not far from Li Xiang at this time and focused most of his attention on Li Xiang. Naturally, he immediately discovered Li Xiang's strange phenomenon.
"Hahaha, dear brother, if you have any worries, tell me about it. Maybe I can help you solve it." Dong Zhuo said with a bold face.
"It's okay, brother. It's just that I was too hasty when I sent troops from Bingzhou. Nowadays, there is a shortage of civilian officials such as swordsmen, penmen, and clerks in the army. Now it is difficult to recruit in this war. These days, all the minor military affairs in the army are completely suppressed.
When it comes to the younger brother, how can the younger brother know how to deal with these things when he troubles Wu Fu? The younger brother has been so worried these days. But he never thought that at such a happy time as getting along with the elder brother, he would think of these annoying things.
I'll punish myself with three cups first and hope that my brother will forgive me."
After all, without waiting for Dong Zhuo's reaction, he drank three glasses of wine.
"Hahaha, it's just a trivial matter, so why should I worry about it, my dear brother? They are just a few clerks, but there is no shortage of them in my brother's army. After a banquet, I will ask my brother to pick out a few of my dear brothers.
They just come to the good brother's account and do what he wants." Dong Zhuo said with a nonchalant look on his face. If he could exchange a few swordsmen and pens for Li Xiang's favor, Dong Zhuo would not feel it was a loss in this transaction.
Realizing that Dong Zhuo was about to fall into the hole he dug, Li Xiang suppressed the joy in his heart and said casually,
"Thank you very much, brother. But why should I bother my brother to do such a small thing personally? I think that gentleman is pretty good. Why don't you just give him to me as a gift?" After saying that, Li Xiang pointed to Jia Xu as if he didn't care.
direction.
Dong Zhuo was worried at first that Li Xiang was going to pick off some important figures in his army, and he was thinking about how to refuse without offending Li Xiang. However, he never thought that what Li Xiang wanted was just someone he had no impression of.
Dong Zhuo felt that since this person had no memory of himself, he must be just a mediocre person. In this case, it would be just a gift to Li Xiang. A useless person can exchange a favor with Li Xiang. Isn't it wonderful?
.
"Since my dear brother is interested in this person, then as a brother, I will give him to my dear brother and let him come to your account to be used." Dong Zhuo said to Li Xiang with a bold face again.
When Li Xiang heard this, he immediately pretended to be grateful and said, "Thank you very much, brother. Brother, please. I will give you another drink."
Of course, Li Xiang was indeed very grateful to Dong Zhuo at this time. He never expected that Dong Zhuo would give Jia Xu to him so simply. A design that he casually tried out would actually succeed so easily.
With Jia Xu's intelligence, he is definitely one of the top ones in the entire Three Kingdoms. Li Xiang feels that in terms of intelligence alone, even the geniuses and Wolong may not be able to surpass Jia Xu.
Jia Xu was a famous counselor, military strategist and hero of the founding of Cao Wei during the Three Kingdoms period. He was originally a general under Dong Zhuo. After Dong Zhuo's death, he offered his advice to Li Jue and Guo Si to counterattack Chang'an. After Li Jue and others failed, he became Zhang Xiu
Zhang Xiu used his strategies to defeat Cao Cao twice. Before the Battle of Guandu, he persuaded Zhang Xiu to surrender to Cao Cao.
During the Battle of Guandu, Jia Xu advocated a decisive battle with Yuan Shao. Before the Battle of Chibi, he believed that the people should be appeased instead of mobilizing troops to attack Jiangdong. Cao Cao refused to listen, and he suffered a serious setback. When Cao Cao and the Guanzhong Allied Forces were in a stalemate in Weinan, Jia Xuxian broke up with him.
The plan was to defeat Ma Chao and Han Sui, allowing Cao Cao to conquer Guanzhong in one fell swoop.
When it came to determining Cao Cao's successor, Jia Xu used Yuan Shao and Liu Biao as examples, implying that Cao Cao could not abolish the elder and establish the younger, thus secretly helping Cao Pi become the heir apparent.
After Cao Pi became emperor, he asked Jia Xu whether he should destroy Shu or Wu first. Jia Xu suggested that the country should be governed first before using force. Cao Pi refused to listen, and he returned to conquer Wu without success.
Compared with other counselors of the same era and at the same level, Jia Xu's reputation is indeed far inferior. But this does not mean that Jia Xu is worse than others, just because Jia Xu is too low-key. If others don't ask, I'm afraid Jia Xu will just pretend.
I don't know, but I rarely take the initiative to offer advice like other counselors.
Moreover, although Jia Xu did not often offer suggestions, once he did offer them, they were bound to succeed, and they were often very vicious and cut straight to the enemy's vital points. His reputation as a poisonous man was definitely deserved.
Li Xiang almost couldn't help laughing to the sky when he thought that the poisonous master Jia Wenhe would soon become his own.
"This Dong Zhuo is really his good big brother, good brother. He has just recognized his brother, and Dong Zhuo has given him such a great gift." Li Xiang thought with a hint of pride in his heart.
