Among people other than Jiang Dong, if anyone knows Yuan Shu and Jiang Dong the most, it must be Xun Yue. Ever since he investigated Jia Xu, an invisible man who was obviously well hidden, Xun Yue began to pursue him deeply. Because

He did not believe that Yuan Shu would trust an incompetent person so much. Although Jia Xu's background was very secret, it could not withstand Xun Yue's in-depth investigation.

Soon Jia Xu got news from the direction of Xiliang. Jia Xu was from Guzang, Liangzhou, and he once served as a pen official under Li Ru in Dong Zhuo's army. This made Xun Yue even more interested. At that time, he

I guessed that the relationship between Jia Xu and Li Ru was probably unusual.

If you investigate further, you won't be able to get any useful information. This person is too low-key and cautious, and basically leaves no traces. But because of this, it shows that this person must be extraordinary.

There is no problem, but the biggest problem is that for such a talented person who has been working under Li Ru for so long, Xun Yue doesn't believe that Li Ru can't find out. The only explanation is that Li Ru is hiding it for him.

Thinking about it carefully, it is extremely scary. If he didn't know that Jia Xu had a true identity, Li Ru was indeed dead. Xun Yue would have suspected that this guy was Li Ru's trumpet. But even if Jia Xu was not Li Ru, both parties must have

There is a very secret relationship, and it is very likely that this person is Li Ru's close friend.

After learning about the relationship between Jia Xu and Li Ru, Xun Yue realized that Li Jue and Guo Bang of Chang'an were unreliable. These two Xiliang warriors were not born to be lords. They would never think of counterattacking Chang'an and coercing the emperor.

This must be Li Ru's final plan.

Since Li Ru is nostalgic for the past, he will definitely leave a back-up for these people from Xiliang. Because there are no wise men like Li Ru and Jia Xu, Li Jue, Guo Si and others can only defend Chang'an even if they occupy it.

The dog of the household is just a wedding dress for others.

Li Ru's wisdom will not fail to see this, so he is likely to find a good home for these people, or leave a top adviser to assist him. But judging from Jia Xu's trip to Jiangdong,

Li Ru probably chose the former. If he continued to think about it, Xun Yue naturally thought of this terrifying possibility.

Li Jue and Guo Si wanted to defect to Yuan Shu. No, it should be said that the Xiliang army wanted to defect to Yuan Shu.

After using his own spiritual talent to continuously perform calculations, Xun Yue felt that this possibility accounted for more than 90%.

After revealing the reasons why he came to this conclusion, everyone present fell silent. Liu Bei felt extremely bitter in his heart. He finally understood why Cao Cao gave in so decisively on the issue of Xuzhou. He couldn't do it without giving in!

If the two sides get into trouble again at this time, Yuan Shu will fight at his doorstep.

"It seems that we have to join forces with Cao Cao again to prevent Yuan Shu from taking Chang'an." Liu Bei said.

Xun Yue nodded: "But Sili still can't give in."

"Why? Sili has been ruined, what's the use of it?" Liu Bei asked puzzled.

"Only by taking down Sili can we have a chance to break out of the gap between Cao Cao and Yuan Shu and occupy Chang'an and Xiliang." Liu Ye said.

Although Liu Ye is not very good at large-scale strategy, he is not bad at power strategy. Although Yuzhou is rich, it is not a place to live for a long time. Cao Cao and Yuan Shu are both growing stronger, and they still cling to Yuzhou at this time.

Just waiting to die.

The situation at hand is obvious. Fighting with Cao Cao is seeking death, and fighting with Yuan Shu will not gain much. Liu Bei has no better choice but to seek another way out to the west.

"Competing with Cao Cao for Luoyang?"

"It's not an open fight, it's a covert fight," Chen Qun added.

"At times like this, it depends on who takes action quickly."

"Who to send?"

"General Guan is the best."

Although there is no shortage of counselors under Liu Bei, the generals only have Zhang and Zhang. Although Chen Dao is good, he is still young after all, so it is a bit reluctant to act alone. Zhang Fei's reckless character is something that only Liu Bei can control, so he only has

Guan Yu is a suitable candidate.

"Okay, then let's send Yun Chang. The troops are very fast and we will set off tomorrow."

"In addition, please contact Ma Teng, Han Sui and the Qiang people in Xiliang," Liu Ye said.

"Qiang people?" Liu Bei narrowed his eyes and looked at Liu Ye: "Zi Yang, do you know what you are talking about?"

"In emergencies, extraordinary measures should be taken. Those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters. Yuan Shu is so powerful that we cannot allow him to gain power no matter what. At this time, any force should be used." Liu Ye looked sinister.

"When necessary, if Chang'an and Xiliang cannot be captured, Yuan Shu cannot be allowed to capture them either."

After saying that, Liu Ye knelt on the ground and said firmly: "My lord, the situation is critical and it has to be like this! I hope my lord will agree to my suggestion and I will be willing to bear any consequences in the future!"

Xun Yue and Chen Qun looked at Liu Ye in shock. So ruthless, loyal, and courageous!

Liu Bei felt relieved, and a trace of emotion and unbearability flashed in his eyes, but he still held back the guilt in his heart and gently helped Liu Ye up: "Why do you need to do this, Ziyang? Just promise you."

...

In the land of the Southern Barbarians, Sima Yi has been staying here for three days. From the beginning he was very interested, but later he became more and more shocked. Sima Yi truly felt the terrifying potential of Yuan Shu's men.

"It seems that this trip is the right one!" Sima Yi murmured.

"Sir, what did you say?"

Sima Yi, who was slightly lost, shook his head mockingly: "Nothing, let's go, those old people in Chengdu are probably impatient."

The book boy rolled his eyes: "Master, you still know! I've been hanging around here for three days."

Sima Yi punched the book boy on the head: "What do you know? Those old immortals are all withered bones in the graves. What's wrong with letting them wait? What value do these dying people have to be valued?"

"

The book boy squatted on the ground and cried out, holding his head, and finally muttered: "Then you are still messing with them."

"What did you say?" Sima Yi narrowed his triangular eyes and asked in a serious tone.

The book boy jumped up quickly and said with a serious face: "Young Master heard wrong, I didn't say anything."

Sima Yi nodded with satisfaction, slightly loosened his fisted right hand, turned around, and walked away seemingly gracefully.

The book boy behind him looked at the slightly gloomy little adult-like figure and curled his lips slightly.

"You are obviously about the same age as me, but you still pretend to be mature."

Sima Yi's figure froze, and then he took out a bamboo slip from his arms and threw it away as if nothing had happened.

"boom!"

"Ouch!"

The book boy covered his red forehead and squatted on the ground with another cry of pain.

"Put the books away, let's go."

"Yes!" The book boy said in a low voice after he regained consciousness. He lowered his head and rolled his eyes secretly, but he no longer dared to speak nonsense.

He hurriedly put the bamboo slips in his luggage behind his back, and the book boy quickly chased after him.
