Han Dao world

Chapter 148
Liu Xie's relief only lasted half the meal.

Dong Wan beamed and told him that Jia Xu sent two letters to Guo Bang's camp today.

Once in the morning, not long after the letter was delivered, Guo Bang left the camp.

Once in the evening, not long after the letter was delivered, Guo Si's subordinates left the camp.

Before Dong Wan finished speaking, Liu Xie felt that the food in his mouth was not tasty.

Emotional Dong Cheng only watched Jia Xu's body, but he didn't watch Jia Xu's brain. Instead, he became Jia Xu's courier brother, and he ran happily before and after.

Fortunately, Jia Xu has no evil intentions, otherwise she would not know how she died.

After the slander, Liu Xie silently reviewed the whole situation, and had to admit that Jia Xu's two shots played a decisive role.

If Guo Bang hadn't taken the initiative to attack, the two sides don't know how long the confrontation will last.

If it weren't for Guo Si's subordinates to attack, Li Jue still has a clear advantage in military strength. It is not yet known who will have the last laugh.

Even Li Jue was injured because of Guo Si.

Liu Xie smacked his lips, and the little pride in his heart turned into a cloud of smoke.

Compared with Jia Xu, she is still too young.

"Prepare some food and drink. I want to have a candlelit night chat with Mr. Jia," Liu Xie ordered.

Both Fu Shou and Song glanced at each other, both a little disappointed.

Song Du licked his lips. "Your Majesty, the night is getting dark. You fought hard all day and got injured again, didn't you..."

Liu Xie shook his head. "You don't understand. Li Jue is dead, but I haven't won yet. If you don't finish the job well, you may get up early tomorrow, and the world will change."

Song Du wanted to say more, but Fu Shou stopped her and shook his head. "The concubine will arrange it now."

Dong Wan was a little uneasy, and just about to speak, Liu Xie said again: "A Wan, you are tired too, so you can rest in the tent with Song Guiren."

"Oh." Dong Wan scratched her head, got up hesitantly and went out.

Liu Xie called in a Huben servant and asked him to go to Dong Cheng's camp to pick up Jia Xu.

Taking advantage of Jia Xu's absence, he sat cross-legged, spread out the map, and sorted out the situation in front of him.

After a long time, he sighed softly.

-

"Your Majesty." Jia Xu entered the account, sat down opposite Liu Xie, and bowed to salute.

"Thank you sir." Liu Xie picked up a glass of water and handed it to Jia Xu. "If the master hadn't planned a strategy, the big man would be in danger."

Jia Xu took the water glass and held it in the palm of his hand. Feeling the warmth of the palm, he said with a faint smile, "Even if there are thousands of ingenious plans, if there is no determination of His Majesty to go forward, it is empty talk. Three armies are easy to get, but one general is hard to find. Similarly, if There are countless ministers, but those like Your Majesty only see each other once in five hundred years."

Liu Xie's eyes flickered. "As you said, where is Emperor Guangwu?"

Jia Xu was unmoved. "Wang Yi and Wang Xundai, how can they be compared with Li Jue? How can a mob of more than [-] people compare with Xiliang's sharp soldiers who have fought a hundred battles. What Emperor Guangwu needs is courage. What His Majesty needs is not only courage, but also intuition. .”

He raised his head and looked directly at Liu Xie, with a flash of relief in his eyes. "Forgive me for taking the liberty, Your Majesty's talents are as far away as Guangwu, comparable to Emperor Gao. May Your Majesty cherish this gifted by heaven."

Liu Xie couldn't figure out Jia Xu's intention for a while, but it was inconvenient to ask, so he kept silent.

"Your Majesty, Li Jue is dead, how will Qi Kun's disciple and nephew make arrangements?"

Liu Xie breathed out, and explained his arrangements at that time.

Ding Chong hasn't come back yet, and Duan Yan hasn't heard back yet, and he doesn't know if their persuasion to surrender went well.Especially Ding Chong, in order to snatch supplies from Li Jue's camp, he sent Ding Chong to persuade him to surrender before he had time to think about it.Looking at it now, this was really a bit reckless, and it is very likely that persuading him to surrender failed, and instead cost Ding Chong his life.

Jia Xu raised her brows lightly and laughed. "Duan Yan's loyalty is impeccable, but his greed for money is old and getting stronger. Alas, Xiliang is poor, and survival is not easy. What can I do?"

"Ding Chong...can he succeed in persuading him to surrender?"

"Your Majesty can be at ease. Ding Chong may not be able to persuade Li Shi to surrender, but Li Shi does not have the courage to kill Ding Chong. Tomorrow morning, His Majesty will issue an edict to pardon Li Shi and his mother, the Hu family. The matter will be decided. As for Yang Ding There……"

Jia Xu took a sip of water. "It's better for His Majesty to issue an edict. Wei Wei Xinsheng is too murderous, I'm afraid it will surprise him."

Liu Xie nodded, and said: "Wei Wei suffered a lot this time, why not let him take over Li Shi's men and horses, pick some elite cavalry, and add them to the Northern and Southern Army, so as to reassure the soldiers."

Jia Xu's eyes flickered slightly. "Your Majesty is very thoughtful, and I think it is very good. Your Majesty is going to Hedong to establish a foothold. It is inevitable to fight against the Huns. It is good to make some preparations in advance. Speaking of which, most of these soldiers are warriors who have fought with Dong Zhuo for many years. Their tactics against the Huns Not unfamiliar."

Liu Xie secretly smiled.

Sure enough, care is chaos.As calm as Jia Xu, once the lives and deaths of a large number of Xiliang people are involved, he cannot remain calm.

Liu Xie got up, lifted the kettle from the fire pit, and added some hot water for Jia Xu.

"Sir, before Li Jue's head fell to the ground, he said a few words to me."

"Really?" Jia Xu brought the cup to his mouth and blew gently, the lingering mist blocked his eyes.

Liu Xie recounted his experience before beheading Li Jue, and then looked at Jia Xu quietly.

Jia Xu was silent for a while, then said with emotion: "Your Majesty's ambition is so great that I cannot guess it. I take back what I just said."

"Which one?"

"Your Majesty is comparable to Emperor Gao." Jia Xu smiled. "Your Majesty has the strengths of Emperor Gao and Emperor Guangwu, more than that."

Liu Xie stared at Jia Xu for a moment, then burst out laughing.

Jia Xu also laughed.

Liu Xie put his hand on Jia Xu's shoulder and pressed it lightly. "Sir, I don't intend to compete with Emperor Gao and Emperor Guangwu, and this time is different from that time, so don't stick to the story. But if you can rejuvenate the great Han, restore peace, and save the people from the fire, even if you deviate from the scriptures, I will do it No hesitation."

He paused, and then said: "Soldiers are impermanent, water has an impermanent shape, how can governing a country last forever?"

Jia Xu nodded thoughtfully. "What your Majesty said is far-reaching and profound, beyond the reach of my ministers."

Liu Xie rolled his eyes with his back to Jia Xu, and waved his hands. "It's getting late, sir, go to bed earlier. I still have something to think about. If there is any doubt, please ask sir to clarify."

Jia Xu got up. "I am always waiting for your Majesty's inquiries."

Liu Xie nodded and watched Jia Xu leave.

He sat alone, thought for a while, and felt that he could only follow Jia Xu's suggestion.

Ding Chong might not be able to persuade Li Shi to surrender by himself, so it is better to formally issue an edict to pardon Li Shi's mother and son.

Not only Li Shi's mother and son, but also Li Huan, Li Ying and others must be pardoned together to reassure everyone.

Although Li Jue is dead, there are still nearly [-] people under his command. It is unrealistic to kill them all, and it is too dangerous to keep them untreated. If they are not careful, they will mutiny.The most realistic way is to pardon Li Huan, Li Ying and others, to appease them, and then to recruit elites from the middle to supplement the Northern and Southern Army.

Only in this way, the strength of Xiliang people should not be underestimated.

Jia Xu's goal was perfectly achieved.
