According to Zhang Mo's understanding of Jia Xu in history, this person had no integrity and no loyalty to the Han Dynasty. He didn't care much about fame and wealth. He didn't care about money or lust. His only characteristic was that he was too afraid of death. Since he has been so late

His refusal to surrender to Lu Bu probably means that he saw that Lu Bu was not in a good situation at this time.

However, Jia Xu did not directly explain the reason, but asked, "What is the general's ambition?"

Lu Bu glanced at Zhang Mo subconsciously, wondering what Jia Xu meant by asking this question.

Ambition? When he took refuge with Dong Zhuo, he mainly wanted to help the Han Dynasty, but when he personally watched Dong Zhuo transform from a heroic leader to what he is now, he saw with his own eyes the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and his courtiers were treated like slaves by Dong Zhuo, and he watched the world

Heroes were everywhere and disputes continued, and he had already lost all hope of supporting the country.

How should I answer now? To support Han or to act on behalf of Han? Lu Bu felt tired of talking to literati and always liked to beat around the bush. It was clear that he had asked him first, but he asked him the other way around, and even asked a question that was completely wrong.

Seeing that Lu Bu didn't answer, Jia Xu smiled clearly and said to himself, "Since the general asked the Prime Minister about coming to merge the state, I can see that the general has great ambitions and is not confused. But has the general ever thought about how he can return to his country in an upright manner in the future?"

and

Zhou? Dong Zhuo is already half-stepped into the gate of hell. If the general cannot put aside his current identity before his death, he will have to bear the name of Dong Zhuo for the rest of his life. That is like a rat crossing the street. Everyone will beat you if they want to.

"

The late Han Dynasty was not like the Three Kingdoms period, when rituals and music completely collapsed. At this time, everyone still had reasons for sending troops, and they wanted reputation. If the teacher had no name, he would have lost morally, public opinion and psychology. Lu Bu had the reputation of Dong Zhuo's remnant, no matter who came.

Whoever attacks him will be a righteous soldier, but no matter where Lu Bu wants to fight, it will be regarded as unjust.

"Let's talk about Bingzhou. Now, except for the four counties of Yanmen, Taiyuan and Xihe, the rest of the place is occupied by the Xiongnu and Bai Bo. There are also Heishan in the east, Xianbei in the north, Liangzhou rebels in the west, Sili in the south, and the general will come in the future.

Where do we want to develop?”

"Let's not talk about the north. There are millions of people in Heishan to the east. If the general cannot occupy the three counties of Bingzhou, two counties of Jizhou, one county of Youzhou plus Hanoi around Taihang, and attack from all sides to force them to surrender, he will not be able to clear the enemy."

Lu Bu said, "Why bother? If I lead my troops into the Hutuo River and kill Zhang Yan, the rest of the Black Mountains will be at my disposal."

When Jia Xu heard this, he couldn't help laughing, "I believe that the general has the ability to kill Zhang Yan. If you want the rest of Montenegro to be used by you, you must have food that can support a million or even more people. The general has the ability to kill Zhang Yan."

What?"

Lu Bu looked confused, "Why do you need me to raise you?"

Jia Xu did not answer Lu Bu's question, but just said, "If you don't believe me, general, I will go and destroy Zhang Yan in the future. See if the other troops in Montenegro can be used by you."

Lu Bu knew that Jia Xu said this, so it might be useless to kill Zhang Yan. He recalled that in his dream, he and Yuan Shao had annihilated Heishan several times during the Qing Dynasty, and had conquered many villages with him. Even the elites of Zhang Yan's headquarters were killed.

Most of the time, Zhang Yan was still tenacious and rooted in Taihang. Until he was hanged at Baimen Tower, Zhang Yan was still alive and well.

And as Jia Xu said, even if Zhang Yan was really killed at that time, would it be possible to clean up the Taihang bandits?

After Zhang Yan was defeated, there were still Li Yan and Wang Yan. The name of the Black Mountain bandits was gone, and there were Huangshan bandits and Red Mountain bandits. The reason why Taihang gathered millions of people had nothing to do with Zhang Yan's name. It only had to do with whether there was war in the surrounding area.

It is related to the famine. If the survival problem of the surrounding people cannot be solved, except for encirclement on all sides as mentioned by Jia Xu, otherwise there is no way to suppress it. If you suppress him here, a steady stream of fleeing people will be attracted to him and continue to strengthen his team.

If he cannot unify the north and suppress it from all sides, he will not be able to solve the problem of Black Mountain bandits at all. Unless he can really afford to support this million or even more people, and if he wants to support so many people, he must unify the north and at least take down Jizhou.

Only land can support a living population.

Thinking of this, Lu Bu followed up and said, "Even if we can't win over all the Black Mountain bandits, we can still make them allies."

Seeing that the doubts in Lu Bu's eyes were gradually disappearing, Jia Xu nodded slightly in appreciation. Although this warrior had a straight mind, he could figure it out with just a few hints. He was quite smart. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip, "In the early stage, it may be okay, but in the later stage, it's okay."

But it doesn't work. Overall, this problem will accompany the general for a long time."

"Second, there is a problem with Liangzhou in the west. The general seems to be commanding all the troops under Dong Zhuo, but those Liangzhou troops have not surrendered to you. The higher the general's rank, the more important Dong Zhuo is, which will only make him wait.

I am becoming more and more dissatisfied with you. If the general cannot capture the Liangzhou army for his own use, how will he conquer Liangzhou in the future? By relying on external troops to merge with the state, the general can only attack one city and one county, and I don’t know if he will fight until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse."

People in every place are xenophobic. Unless Lu Bu can give great benefits to the warlords in Liangzhou, or can crush them all with force, otherwise, if you, a Bingzhou native, want to conquer Liangzhou, it will be harder than climbing to the sky.

.And none of Dong Zhuo's old Liangzhou generals have surrendered to Lu Bu.

"Thirdly, the general in the south is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law. His reputation is already bad enough. If you lead troops to expand southward, you will become a traitor and a traitor."

Jia Xu finally concluded, "Although the general has left a way out for himself in Bingzhou, this road is extremely difficult. He is almost surrounded from all sides, making it difficult to find a way out. And you are a remnant of Dong Zhuo. If I follow you, it will be a disaster."

It’s so dangerous, it’s not good, it’s not good!”

After hearing this, Lu Bu's face couldn't help but become solemn. He thought that going to Bingzhou was the best way out. After Jia Xu said this, it seemed that it was really difficult to develop. In this case, he could only go to the Central Plains to find a way out like in his dream? But the Central Plains

The situation is not much better than that of Bingzhou.

Zhang Mo interrupted at this time, "Sir, you are alarmist!"

Jia Xu looked at her with interest, "I'd like to hear the details!"

"Heishan is difficult to control, but Liangzhou is not necessarily difficult to obtain. Lu Bu's men are not without people from Liangzhou. Li Li, Li Wenhou's confidant general, is now under Lu Bu's command. Furthermore, sir, he is also from Liangzhou and his background is not bad.

And your fellow countryman Duan Zhongming, with the help of you two, taking Liangzhou will be like picking something out of a bag."

Jia Xu rolled his eyes at her and said, "Why should I help you when your little fox is making plans?"

Zhang Mo smiled and said, "If sir, you don't want to help him, why bother talking today?"

Jia Xu was speechless for a moment, then hummed, "I just told him that following him would be miserable, I didn't say I wanted to help him."

Stubborn!

Zhang Mo cursed and asked casually, "As for how to get off Dong Zhuo's pirate ship, I beg you, sir, for advice."

Zhang Mo originally thought that Dong Qing would agree to reconcile due to his cheating, but unexpectedly he still clung to Lu Bu. After observing her for so long, she was not pregnant. Even if Lu Bu wanted to find out the reason for her cheating, he couldn't. He was really tied to her.

Dead.

Jia Xu said disapprovingly, "This matter is the simplest, just destroy the relatives for the sake of justice!"

"If you can kill your relatives in a just and righteous way, why bother asking sir for advice?"

Jia Xu snorted again, "How can you have both in this world? You have to choose one in the end."

This matter is indeed difficult, Lu Bu said, "We will discuss this matter in the future. Even if we can't get rid of it in the end, the road ahead will be more difficult, but it is not a dead end."

I have been a slave with three surnames, so it doesn’t matter if I’m a little worse!

Lu Bu once again offered his hand to Jia Xu, "I will lead my troops to Sishui Pass in the next few days. I beg you, sir, to come with me!"

Jia Xu shrank his neck and said, "It's too cold, so I won't go!"

"I'll prepare some more stoves for you."

"It's too far, don't go!"

"Chang'an is further away!"

"Then... let's go!"
