"General." Diao Chan, surrounded by two maids, came to Jia Rong and saluted.
Jia Rong wanted to turn his eyes elsewhere, thinking that he would be laughed at by Diao Chan, so he smiled and said: "Miss, I haven't seen you for a few days, and your style is even better than before."
Jia Rong did not hesitate to praise the beauty.
"Thank you for the compliment, General." Diao Chan said in a calm tone. Diao Chan had heard too many words of appreciation.
It has to be said that Diao Chan is a rare beauty in the world. This level cannot be compared with the pure and lovely Cai Yan and the fresh and refined Wei Fu. Her every frown and smile contain endless charm. This is the woman who is most tempting to men.
"I wonder why the lady is wearing a veil?" Everyone is curious about women wearing veils.
Diao Chan chuckled a few times and said softly: "The little girl has an ugly face. She is afraid of frightening the general, so she covers her face with a veil."
The giggles were like fairy sounds, making Jia Rong feel drunk for a moment.
"My lady's appearance is beyond the reach of even a fairy." Jia Rong blurted out.
Diao Chan was surprised: "Oh, so the general has seen Xiu'er?"
"Xiu'er?" Jia Rong jumped up and said loudly: "Do you know Xiu'er?"
After many years, Jia Rong still has Xiu'er in his mind and heart. When Diao Chan mentioned it, he could no longer contain his excitement.
Diao Chan's beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly, but remembering Wang Yun's instructions, she smiled and said, "Of course I know you. The little girl's surname is Diao Ming Xiu'er."
Jia Rong was greatly disappointed when he heard this. He thought there would be news about Xiu'er, but he didn't expect that the two people had the same name. Although Diao Xiu'er had a myriad of charms that countless women couldn't compare to, Jia Rong still liked Xiu'er from Lijiacun in his heart.
Sitting weakly on the chair, Jia Rong said: "I hope you'll forgive me for being rude just now."
When the bandits were wiped out, Jia Rong didn't believe that Xiu'er died like that. The expression on the bandit leader's face when he was about to die did not escape Jia Rong's eyes. All along, Jia Rong has been looking forward to one day being able to meet Xiu'er.
Reunion.
"Does the general know a woman named Xiu'er?" From Jia Rong's expression, it is not difficult to see the status of the woman named Xiu'er in his heart. Jia Rong's expression made Diao Chan slightly disgusted, but she thought in front of a peerless beauty.
Another woman.
Jia Rong sighed and nodded.
Diao Chan stared at Jia Rong and said, "General, can you tell the little girl about Xiu'er?"
For some reason, when he heard Xiu'er's name, Jia Rong's emotions overflowed, and he felt a little irritable for no reason. Maybe it was because Diao Chan made people so friendly, but Jia Rong actually told Diao Chan about himself and Xiu'er.
Read it again.
After hearing what the bandit said about Xiu'er's last encounter, Diao Chan started sobbing. In troubled times, beauties are so miserable, and a couple of lovers were separated like this.
Jia Rong didn't expect Diao Chan to be so emotional. He was at a loss for a while. He couldn't say stop crying and I'll buy you candy. However, this cry made Jia Rong feel that Diao Chan was much kinder and could help the strange woman.
And if you shed tears, your nature will not be too bad.
Seeing Jia Rong's bewildered look, Diao Chan couldn't help but burst into tears. With Xiu'er's incident as a foreshadowing, Diao Chan's impression of Jia Rong changed a lot. From a few words, it was not difficult to find that Jia Rong was actually a
A man of true temperament.
After leaving Situ's Mansion, Jia Rong woke up a lot when he was blown by the cold wind. For some reason, he always felt a little uncomfortable in Situ's Mansion, as if there was a pair of invisible eyes staring at him, which made him very uncomfortable. Maybe he was too preoccupied.
.
"It's better to come to Situ Mansion less often." Jia Rong thought to himself.
Not long after Jia Rong and his party left Situ's Mansion, a few soldiers walked out of an inconspicuous corner and hurried towards the Grand Master's Mansion.
Jia Rong went to Situ's Mansion to meet Wang Yun a lot of times. Dong Zhuo's minions were all over the city and had already received the news. Due to the strength of the Xiliang Army, Dong Zhuo had been trying to avoid contact with the Xiliang Army, and Jia Rong
He didn't act secretly. Every time he went somewhere, he went blatantly with his "blood guards". Dong Zhuo's soldiers could easily get the news.
"General, do you want to kill those people?" Zhang Zhi made a beheading gesture.
Jia Rong shook his head and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, they are just some clowns."
In the Grand Master's Mansion, Dong Zhuo sat down at the top with the help of his maid. He looked at the officials below him and was full of pride. He thought that he was just a small border general with no more than two thousand soldiers and only a few generals.
, Nowadays, all the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are for his own use, and he has countless ministers and counselors under his command. As long as he is willing, those scholars will rush to come.
"Pay close attention to the movements of the Xiliang army, especially Jia Rong." Dong Zhuo sat down on his seat and said with a sigh of relief. Dong Zhuo was content to enjoy the pampering he had experienced over the past few days.
Li Su cupped his fists and said, "No!"
In the past, Dong Zhuo would definitely ask his advisers when doing this, and Li Ru would be the first to ask. According to Li Su's summary in the recent period, it is found that Dong Zhuo's good habit is gradually getting rid of him.
, Dong Zhuo alone has the final say in everything, and others have no say.
After the confrontation between Xiliang's army and Dong Zhuo's army outside the city, Dong Zhuo gradually became alienated from Li Ru and did not pay as much attention to him as before. Many things were taken over by Li Su, and Li Ru's power was gradually weakened.
"Go down and tell me that the Marquis will go to the army tomorrow." Dong Zhuo said.
The officials under his command and the generals in the army shouted "The general is wise!"
Li Ru still maintained a respectful look, making it impossible for anyone to find any fault. In the past, Li Ru suppressed Li Su, but now that Li Su has turned around, every time Li Su goes to show off next to Li Ru, Li Ru looks on with a smile.
Looking at him, that long-lost smile made Li Su feel a little frightened and retreated in defeat.
Dong Zhuo paid more and more attention to Li Su, especially when nearly two hundred soldiers escaped from the Xiliang army and joined him.
"Lord, this is the news that came through Xianlian Pavilion." Jia Xu respectfully handed several neatly folded papers to Jia Rong.
After reading the above news, Jia Rongchang took a breath of air. As expected, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao and others who escaped from the capital were restless and recruited troops. Not only that, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu also secretly maintained an old relationship with the Yuan family.
Officials secretly hoarded food and grass, and their intentions were obvious.
"Wenhe, what do you think?"
Jia Xu replied: "My lord, there is no need to worry. Hangu Pass is now under the control of our army. Even if Yuan Shao and others raise troops to invade, our army can retreat to Liangzhou calmly. From this point of view, our army is invincible."
land."
Jia Rong laughed and said: "Wen He's words are wrong. Jincheng is just a small border town, how can it be compared with the Western Capital."
Jia Xu was shocked. After he figured out the key point, his face showed joy. Chang'an, the capital of the West, has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. Although the White Eyebrow Army burned down Chang'an with a fire, Liu Xiu still made Chang'an his companion capital after he established the capital.
, after hundreds of years of development, it has gradually become prosperous.
The terrain of Chang'an is more dangerous than that of Luoyang, and Weihan is very strong. It was a place where millions of armies from the Six Kingdoms hated each other during the Warring States Period. Moreover, the land of Guanzhong was fertile and wild for thousands of miles. The more Jia Xu thought about it, the more excited he became.
"Wen He, how is Xu Shu doing under your command?"
Jia Xu bowed and said: "My lord, Xu Shu is also a resourceful person. With a little training, he can be entrusted with important tasks. He is a rare talent."
Jia Rong said: "Send the order for Xu Shu to come."
When he came to Luoyang, Xu Shu and Jia Xu were brought here. When he had nothing to do, Xu Shu discussed battlefield strategies with Jia Xu, and he benefited a lot. Moreover, the Xiliang army was engaged in many battles. Xu Shu's progress was naturally
A thousand miles a day.
"I humble myself to pay homage to my lord!" Xu Shu bowed and paid homage.
Jia Rong nodded with satisfaction. Xu Shu's body no longer had the sharpness when they first met, but had a smoother look, especially his calm expression, which made it difficult for people to guess what he was thinking. This was very similar to Jia Xu's.
.
"Yuan Zhi, how does it feel to be under Wen He?" Jia Rong said with a smile.
Xu Shu paid homage and said, "My lord, Lord Jia is a kind-hearted person and very talented. It is hard to match him even though he is humble in his position. Since I have followed Lord Jia, I have learned a lot from my humble position."
Jia Rong said solemnly: "Xu Shu listens to the order."
Xu Shu's body trembled, he took a step forward and bowed to obey the order.
"I, the general, have appointed you as the military advisor for the attack on the Western Capital. You will go to Jincheng to join the army from now on and make sure to capture Chang'an." Jia Rong said with a heavy tone.
It is an indisputable fact that the Xiliang army lacks counselors. There are many people who can recruit good warriors, but only a handful of them can truly stand alone. The talents recruited by Jia Rong's recruitment order are only talents from a hundred miles away. Those who can truly rule the world are those who can rule the world.
Not one.
Although Xu Shu is young, he has the talent he deserves. If he does not leave the embrace of the big tree, the small tree will never be able to grow. Xu Shu needs such an opportunity. No matter how good the jade is, it needs constant polishing.
"In my humble position, I must do my best to repay my lord for his kindness." Xu Shu knelt down and said in an excited tone.
Jia Rong did not reach out to help Xu Shu, but continued: "There is no room for failure on this trip. Chang'an is where our army retreats. You understand the importance of the mission."
Xu Shu said: "If we can't take Chang'an, I'll humble myself and come to see you."
Jia Rong helped Xu Shu up and said: "Yuan Zhi, at this critical moment, please don't neglect us. The safety of our army depends on Yuan Zhi."
Xu Shu's body froze, and warm currents surged through his heart. He had not been qualified to join the Xiliang Army for a long time, but he was awarded such an important task. You can imagine how moved he was.
"Although the terrain around Chang'an is dangerous, the military strength is not as good as our Xiliang army. As long as Yuan Zhi is careful every step of the way, taking down Chang'an is just a matter of effort, and Xianlian Pavilion will fully cooperate with Yuan Zhi." Jia Xu analyzed.
Xu Shu bowed and said: "No!"
"If you have any requests for this trip, just ask them." Jia Rong said with a smile.
Xu Shu thought for a moment and said slowly: "I have to ask my lord for a general."
Jia Xu on the side shook his head indifferently. If it were him, he would never do such a thing. Such behavior can easily make people feel disgusted.
Jia Rong smiled and said: "Yuan Zhi said to come and have a look."
