It turned out that the middle-aged man's surname was Jia and his name was Wenhe, and he was from Wuwei, Liangzhou.

Jia Xu was only young and was praised by Yan Zhong, a famous scholar in Liangzhou at that time, and became a filial and honest official in the court. However, because there was no one in the court, he was poor and had no money to bribe Shangguan. In addition, he was a cold-hearted person by nature and had poor reputations, and did not like Shangguan, so he stayed in Luoyang for more than ten years and was still a small local official.

After Dong Zhuo disrupted the capital, all officials in Luoyang were in danger, so Jia Xu took the opportunity to resign and planned to return to Wuwei's house. However, because of Huangfu Song's affairs, the Western Liang army had very strict surveillance of the western checkpoints, so Jia Xu had to take his family to Xingyang, intending to go through Yiyang, Nanyang, and then return to Wuwei through Bazhou.

Unexpectedly, the Battle of Sishui Pass occurred during this period. Jia Xu knew that the riots were like bandits, so he and his family temporarily avoided the countryside outside the pass, and happened to be found by Zhuang Xia's troops, who were responsible for clearing out the remaining enemies outside the pass.

Lei Heng paid the money to Zhuang Xia's troops based on the number of heads he had won. Several barbarian soldiers were complaining that they had not won today, so they discovered Jia Xu, the big son.

"Boss! No one around, it's better to... let's make up for the numbers... the Badong people are waiting for the rice to be cooked!"

"But this woman and child... the lord has strict orders and must not hurt innocent people!"

"Or... the women and children let go, and the adult man beheaded for rewards?"

"Okay! Brothers... have quicker methods and tighter mouths!"

"Go..."

The barbarian shouted loudly, and a trace of cruel murderous intent flashed through his eyes, showing off his sharp waist knife in his hand, poking it to the vital points of the middle-aged scholar's heart.

"Let's go!" The middle-aged scholar burst into cold sweat on his forehead, and he didn't know where the strength came from, so he shouted loudly: "I'm your lord's...uh...old friend!"

"Well?"

The barbarian uttered a whistle and stopped the sword force. The sharp tip of the knife was only a slight distance from the middle-aged scholar's chest. The cold blade penetrated his clothes, causing the middle-aged scholar to feel muscle pain.

"Boss, this guy said he was his lord's... his old friend..." The barbarian was stunned for a moment, raised his head and shouted loudly.

The little barbarian leader leaned over and asked in confusion: "What is an old friend?"

The barbarian shook his head, confused and yelled, "The lord has never said that he cannot kill his old friend, right?"

The murderous intent reappeared in the eyes of the little barbarian leader, and he ordered in a deep voice: "Then kill!"

The middle-aged scholar was anxious and shouted: "I am not only your lord's old friend, but actually your lord's uncle! Yes, uncle!"

"uncle?"

"Uh..." The middle-aged scholar took a breath, wiped away the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and said tremblingly: "Uncle is... Your lord's surname is Lei and his name is Heng, and his name is righteous. He is now appointed as General Pingko and the governor of Bazhou, right? He is my nephew, do you understand?"

The barbarian turned his head and looked at the little leader and asked, "Boss, the lord is still his nephew. Do you still have to listen to him? This is amazing!"

The little leader thought for a while and said, "Since he is the lord's uncle, he naturally cannot be killed! I will report to the young leader (referring to Zhuang Xia), you guys will watch him, if you dare to move around... you will be your reward!"

"San'er, the reward you received was ruined like this, I'm really unwilling to accept it."

"Didn't the boss say that as long as he moves, we can get the reward!"

Several barbarians watched the leader ride away, and their eyes were staring at the middle-aged scholar, making his scalp numb.

The middle-aged scholar couldn't bear it and raised his hand to call the barbarians to come and ask about the situation.

"Hey, he moved, he moved!"

"Hurry up...get it!"

The barbarian shouted loudly, and the murderous intent in his eyes reappeared, revealing the sharp waist knife in his hand.

The middle-aged scholar quickly shouted loudly again: "I am your lord's uncle! Uncle! I want to see your lord!"

"Lord is not available, don't delay our harvest and reward!"

"Reward money?" the middle-aged scribe couldn't help but ask in confusion, "How much does it cost?"

"Twenty cents per head!" The barbarian soldier said, holding his waist knife and counting the number of men beside the middle-aged scholar.

"I will pay five hundred dollars and ask your general to take me to meet your lord..."

Zhuang Xia reported the incident to Lei Heng in a scattered manner.

"So, I will bring him here..." Zhuang Xia glanced at Lei Heng with a sneak peek at Lei Heng, and saw that his expression was still cold, and quickly concluded in a low voice.

Lei Heng analyzed the information provided by Zhuang Xia to himself word by word. He was from Wuwei County, Liangzhou, who once worked as a Langguan in Luoyang and a middle-aged scholar. This is interesting! Lei Heng laughed in his heart. Since you are so good at "protecting yourself", you can't escape the palm of my hand.

The next day, it was still early, and Lei Heng led Dian Wei and Zhuang Xia to the room prepared separately for the middle-aged scholar.

"You are guarding outside the door, and no one is allowed to come in without my permission." After Lei Heng gave instructions to the guards guarding at the door, he led Dian Wei and Zhuang Xia straight into the inner room.

"Uh..." Jia Xu moaned for a long time, and finally woke up from his endless sleepiness.

"Sir, are you finally awake?" A sinister voice came into Jia Xu's ears. Jia Xu was shocked, and then he found that there were three people standing in front of the couch.

"I don't know if the gentleman respects his surname and name? Where is the fairyland? Have you ever been an official in the court?"

A sinister voice sounded again. Jia Xu took a breath, and his eyes finally adapted to the dark light outside the house. He saw clearly that the person who spoke was Lei Heng, the Mu of Bazhou. Although his eyebrows were gloomy at this time, his dark and bright eyes were bright and bright, and he had a charming style while looking around.

"Uh..." Jia Xu uh, glanced at him, and couldn't hide his identity, so he had to answer: "I'm... a person in Wuwei, Liangzhou! He was indeed a Lang official in the court, but because of Dong Zhuo, he had resigned."

Lei Heng asked coldly again: "Have you been in the army last night?"

Jia Xu replied: "It's great, thank you for your kindness in the general's 'guard'."

Lei Heng stretched out his hand and said coldly: "Since my uncle thinks it's 'very good', why not stay in the army and help his nephew achieve success?"

"The general is joking, but the little talent is a little unintentional, how can he serve the general?"

"Is that so, why don't you leave?"

Jia Xu said: "The general is not allowed to allow it, and the villain dares not leave without authorization."

Lei Heng said: "I am now agreeing, sir, please leave."

Jia Xu said: "In this way, please give your hands high and give them clothes to your family!"

"Why can you 'lift your hands' on your legs?" Lei Heng said coldly, "I don't know what the teacher means?"

Jia Xu said helplessly: "The villain is just a commoner. I wonder why the general is so difficult?"

"Iki Buyi? Hehe..."

Seeing Lei Heng's cold expression, Jia Xu couldn't help but feel his heart sank.

Lei Heng frowned and said coldly: "Since that's the case, I might as well say bluntly that others can let go, but you can't."

Jia Xu took a deep breath of air conditioning and said, "Why is this?"

"Because you are a famous scholar in Liangzhou... Jia Xu!"

There was not much surprise on Jia Xu's face, and he said calmly: "It turns out that the general had known the identity of a villain!"

Lei Heng said coldly: "Jia Xu, now there are two ways for you to choose, or stay in the army to serve me. Otherwise, I will immediately order you to kill you. What I did in the past two days is to make you observe me as a person. You should know that as long as you shake your head, I will kill you without hesitation."

Jia Xu said calmly: "In this way, Xu is willing to be a general's staff!"

Lei Heng smiled sinisterly and said, "Sir is worthy of being a smart person, and he is well versed in the way of protecting oneself, hehe..."

"Are ants even greedy for life, let alone people?" Jia Xu did not think at all, and said calmly: "Isn't the general's actions also meant to fight for a way out?"

"Very good, he's a sensible person." Lei Heng turned around and ordered Zhuang Xia, "Send the order! Zhuang Xia made merits in finding my uncle, promoted to General of the Central Army, and admired five jars of monkey wine. He appointed his uncle Jia Xu as the head of the inner palace and immediately sent his family to Hanzhong, and ordered Yan Shu and Xiaodi to take good care of him!"

"Uncle, can you see my nephew's arrangements like this?"

"Very good, very good!" Jia Xu replied expressionlessly.

Seeing that Jia Xu did not ask or answer, Lei Heng did not take the initiative to worry about the princess, so he had to speak directly: "Please try to surrender these Xiliang generals and generals!"

"But yesterday, everyone was tied up in the hall?"

“That’s right!”

"Don't surrender all!"

"Why?" Lei Heng asked anxiously, "Can you guys lead the way?"

"But!" Jia Xu's speech was still concise and clear, and pointed at Zhuang Xia and continued, "I need to borrow this general."

Lei Heng naturally had no objection and ordered: "Zhuang Xia, follow the arrangements of sir!"

Zhuang Xia quickly agreed, "Receive the order!" and begged Jia Xu in a low voice, "Uncle, I am a rough man, my subordinates are used to being naughty, you don't care about villains..."

"General is joking!" Jia Xu looked at Zhuang Xia's nervous look and smiled faintly, "It's just a matter of giving the general a wealth!"

"A wealth?"

"Not bad!" Jia Xu smiled sinisterly, "A head of twenty coins!"

ah?

It's indeed a poisonous man.

Lei Heng felt a little sorry for these elite and brave generals of the Xiliang Army. However, since Jia Xu had been given the order, the king should not change his orders every day, and only hope that these people can recognize the times and be heroes.

"After half an hour, please ask General Zhuang to lead troops to escort all the Xiliang army prisoners to the schoolyard. By the way, prepare a hundred executioners..."

Sishuiguan Schoolyard.

There were more than 30 generals and officers of the Xiliang army kneeling in front of the general station, and more than 2,000 captured Xiliang soldiers were in the center.

Lei Heng, accompanied by Jia Xu, Zhu Wu and Sun Ding, climbed to the generals, Dian Wei led his personal soldiers to escort the side, and Zhuang Xia led his general Xiliang army to surround the center of the schoolyard.

Jia Xu's eyes turned, and suddenly stepped forward, and whispered a few times in Lei Heng's ear. Lei Heng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said happily: "What a 'gent man can deceive his way'! No wonder you asked Zhuang Xia to arrange a hundred executioners. It turned out that he had this intention. Hehe, it's worthy of being Jia Wenhe, you can think of such a vicious plan."

Jia Xu smiled and said, "My lord has been awarded too much, hehe... Yesterday Xu learned that Xu Rong loved soldiers like his sons and had a high prestige among the Xiliang army. He acted like this and was just right to clamp down on each other."

"Come here." Lei Heng waved his hand and said quickly, "Take Xu Rong, Li Su, and Zhao Cen!"

Soon, Xu Rong and the other two were taken to the generals.

Xu Rong's eyes were facing the sky, and he didn't even look at Lei Heng. He just snorted from his nostrils. Dian Wei next to him was furious and pulled out his halberds and was about to kill Xu Rong, but Lei Heng reached out to hold him down.
