"General." The scribe smiled and gave a flat bow to open his jaw.

Zhang Jaw hurriedly jumped off the war horse, and returned the salute with a fist without humility or arrogance: "Don't blame you, sir!" The situation is unknown, and I have to be cautious in the next! "

The general's words are serious! In the absence of clarity, it is appropriate to be cautious! The scribe said indifferently, with a hint of appreciation in his tone.

"The gentleman claims to be a subordinate of the lord, but I don't know what to call him?" Jaw asked.

"In Xia Jia Xu, the words are and." The scribe smiled.

Jia Xu?! Zhang Jaw couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. This name is not unfamiliar to him, when he was in the state, Chen Chu often mentioned him in front of everyone, but Jia Xu never seemed to appear.

Zhang Jaw hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "It turned out to be Mr. Jia Xu." I also heard of Mr.'s name when I was in Nagashu. But why did the gentleman never return to the state?

Jia Xu sighed and said with some shame: "That day in the Tiger Prison Pass, the lord entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, and he secretly came to the pass under the protection of dozens of iron wall guards. However, he was entrusted by the lord and did not complete the task, so he never returned to the lord without face.

Zhang Jaw showed a sudden expression, and then persuaded: "Why should Mr. be like this! The lord will never look down on Mr. for the sake of success or failure once! Sir may not know that the lord has been worried about his safety for a long time, and I have heard the lord blame himself for not putting him in danger!

Jia Xu couldn't help but sigh again, and muttered with a rather moved expression: "The lord values Xu so much, but he is ashamed of the lord!"

After a pause, Jia Xu stretched his face and said to Zhang Jaw: "Let's go, let's talk inside." As he spoke, Jia Xu made a gesture of invitation.

Zhang Jaw immediately made a gesture of invitation, and then the two of them walked together to the nearest palace-like building. This palace-like building is called Tianting Palace, and it is the place where Dong Zhuo and his subordinates usually discuss and give orders.

Zhang Jaw and Jia Xu walked in front, and Zhang Jaw's hundreds of personal soldiers followed closely behind him. Zhang Jaw didn't fully believe Jia Xu, so he didn't give the order to let the pro-soldiers leave, so the pro-soldiers followed closely behind Zhang Jaw.

This situation, the thoughtful Jia Xu has long noticed. However, Jia Xu did not say anything. According to Zhang Jaw's words and deeds just now, Jia Xu has a basic judgment on Zhang Jaw, Zhang Jaw is cautious, wise and brave, and he is a great general who can take charge of himself.

The Northern Army quickly took control of Meiwu, and nothing happened from beginning to end. In this Meiwu, there were only hundreds of soldiers who had laid down their weapons and tens of thousands of migrant workers who had been captured by Dong Zhuo to repair the palace. However, just in case, the soldiers and migrant workers were temporarily put under guard.

In the Heavenly Listening Palace, Jia Xu first briefly recounted his experience in the past year.

It turned out that Chen Chu sent Jia Xu to Guanzhong that day, mainly to plot against Xu Huang. Chen Chu knew that Xu Huang was under Dong Zhuojun and Yang Feng at this time, and at the same time knew that Xu Huang did not look down on Yang Feng very much, and he had great ambitions. Xu Huang is not a simple person, he is one of the five good generals under Cao Cao in later history, and he is especially good at defense.

Chen Chu judged based on the experience of later generations that convincing Xu Huang was definitely nine out of ten, and Jia Xu thought the same. But after Jia Xu arrived in Guanzhong, he found that the actual situation was unexpected.

Xu Huang knew Jia Xu, and when he saw Jia Xu, he was very enthusiastic. Jia Xu and Xu Huang exchanged pleasantries and then got to the point, but something unexpected by Jia Xu appeared, when Xu Huang heard that Jia Xu was here to recruit him for Chen Chu, he showed a displeased look, and then interrupted Jia Xu's words and rejected Chen Chu's solicitation.

This was somewhat unexpected by Jia Xu, but Jia Xu was not an easy person to give up, and he still tried to convince Xu Huang. However, Xu Huang's attitude was very resolute, and Jia Xu could only give up when he saw this scene.

"General Zhang, can you guess what Xu Huang said about the lord at that time?" Jia Xu asked with a smile.

Zhang Jaw shook his head and smiled, "I can't guess this."

"Xu Huang said that the lord is a traitor, so he will never serve the lord!"

Zhang Jaw couldn't help frowning, and said angrily: "What a Xu Huang!" So rude! In the future, he will be captured before the lord!

Jia Xu smiled, "General Zhang doesn't need to be angry, everyone has their own opinions!"

Zhang Jaw nodded, and then asked, "Since Mr. Wenhe didn't recruit Xu Huang, why didn't he return to Bingzhou immediately?"

Jia Xu shook his head with a wry smile and replied: "I, Jia Xu, have always had no last resort, but I didn't expect to do this little thing!" How can I have the face to go back to see my lord! So he stayed in Guanzhong, waiting for an opportunity to make up for it. A few days ago, Dong Zhuo learned the news of the sudden attack of the lord's army, and hurriedly fled to Tianshui with Li Ru and a group of beautiful wives and concubines. I knew that Dong Zhuo couldn't take away the money, food, and goods of Meiwu in a hurry, and knew that when he fled, he would definitely order his subordinates to burn everything that he couldn't take away, so I sneaked into Meiwu in advance. After Dong Zhuo left, I showed up to persuade Vice General Deng, and in this way, everything in Meiwu was saved. The

open jaw showed a sudden expression, "I see!" Then he sat up straight and solemnly saluted Jia Xu with a fist: "Sir, wisdom and bravery!" Open jaw is deeply admired!

Jia Xu laughed and waved his hand; The general is overrated! It's just to make up for it!

Zhang Jaw paused, and then asked, "By the way, Mr. Wenhe." I don't know how much money and food there is in this eyebrow dock? This question was Zhang Jaw's greatest concern, because one of the main purposes of the Northern Army going south to Guanzhong was to seize the money and grain stored in Dong Zhuo's Meiwu.

For this question, Jia Xu has obviously been prepared. As soon as he heard Zhang Jaw's question, he smiled and said, "The eyebrow dock stores ninety percent of the money, grain, and goods that Dong Zhuo has looted. Money and food alone are enough for our army to spend more than five years! "

Although Zhang Jaw knew that Meiwu's reserves were very huge, he didn't expect it to be so large, and the money and food alone would be enough to serve the Northern Army for five years! Before setting out on the expedition, everyone, including Chen Chu, predicted that Meiwu's reserves would probably be enough to conquer the Northern Army for two to three years.

Zhang Jaw couldn't help but show a look of disbelief, and exclaimed, "There are so many! After a pause, he said with a questioning face: "Mr. Wenhe may not know the current situation of my Northern Army!" At present, our northern army plus the 100,000 Huns in Qiangqu have a total strength of more than 610,000! Could it be that Meiwu's money and food can provide me with 610,000 troops for five years?

Jia Xu smiled and said, "Although I am in Guanzhong, I still have some understanding of the situation of the lord. When I say five-year use, I mean the amount of money for the Lord's army of 610,000!

Receiving Jia Xu's affirmative answer, Zhang Jaw was even more surprised, and at the same time delighted. With such a huge amount of money and food as support, the Northern Army will have no worries!

"Great! I need to tell the good news right away! Then he ordered the guards to fetch pen and ink, wrote a short note, and then ordered the guards to immediately pass the short note with a flying pigeon.

Jia Xu on the side saw that Zhang Jaw also briefly talked about himself in the short note, and Jia Xu couldn't help but show a smile.

After Zhang Jaw finished doing this, Jia Xu said: "General Zhang, I guess you will be a little curious about this eyebrow dock. Why don't I take General Zhang around this Meiwu, how about it?

Zhang Jaw happily agreed.

Soon after the Northern Army took control of Meiwu, Dong Zhuo, together with Jia Xu and a group of warblers Yanyan, also arrived in Tianshui.

Tianshui is nearly 1,000 miles west of Chang'an and more than 600 miles west of Meiwu, located on the shore of Weishui. Not far to the west of Tianshui is Longxi County.

On the same day, Li Dao led an army of 150,000 troops to Tianshui after leaving Beidi County. Li Wei made Tianshui his base camp and then marched to Longxi. A few days later, Ma Teng withdrew the encirclement of Longxi and retreated thirty miles to the village.

Although he repelled the Xiliang army, Li Dao was not happy at all, because there was a young general in the Xiliang army who was really powerful, and in the melee, this young general even beheaded six powerful generals under Li Dao, and even Li Dao himself was almost carried in the hands of the other party, and it was because of the existence of this young general that Li Dao could not expand the results of the battle.

Just as Li Wei was considering whether to continue attacking Ma Teng, news came from the east. This news shocked Li Dao. Li Dao didn't care about attacking Ma Teng, so he hurriedly withdrew the main force of the army to Tianshui, while waiting for Dong Zhuo's arrival.

A few days later, Dong Zhuo and his entourage finally arrived in Tianshui, and Li Dao and others hurriedly went out of the city to greet them. Accompanying Li Dao out of the city were Dong Zhuo's other son-in-law, Niu Fu, and Yang Feng, the chief general who guarded Longxi. In addition to these three generals, there are also some generals, including Xu Huang, who said that Chen Chu was a traitor. Xu Huang's identity at this time was still Yang Feng's general.

When everyone saw Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo had already lost a lot of weight, although he was still very fat. Dong Zhuo's face was very gloomy, and his appearance was very much like a wounded beast.

Everyone didn't dare to say anything, and after seeing the ceremony, they lowered their hands and followed Dong Zhuo and entered the city together.

In fact, not only Dong Zhuo was in a bad mood, but others were also in a bad mood. The Northern Army suddenly moved south, and the timing was just right, and in just half a month, Beidi County, Chang'an, and even Meiwu were lost one after another. The loss of Beidi County and Chang'an is still secondary, and the biggest blow to Dong Zhuojun is the loss of Meiwu. You must know that there is almost all of Dong Zhuojun's belongings in the Meiwu. Dong Zhuojun's current situation is very bad, the territory in his hands is only left in Longxi and Tianshui counties, the army is only about 160,000, and at the same time there is a lack of money and food in his hands, it is impossible for Dong Zhuojun at this time to resist the attack from both sides of the Xiliang Army and the Zhengbei Army.

As soon as Dong Zhuo came to Tianshui, he sang songs every day and indulged in enjoyment. Li Ru had risked his life to persuade him several times, but Dong Zhuo didn't listen to him at all. Dong Zhuo seemed to have given up.

As the news of the situation in the east spread among Dong Zhuo's army, Dong Zhuojun's military spirit fluctuated irrepressibly, deserters appeared one after another among the soldiers, and the generals had no heart to control the army.

The whole Longxi and Tianshui are in a gloomy and bleak situation.

All the people seem to have given up, but there is one person who still hasn't given up, and that person is Li Ru.
