Chapter 317

Niu Fu is in his forties, with a stout figure, but his eyes are unsteady, like a mouse stealing rice, greedy and alert, ready to run away at any time.

Compared with him, Li Jue, Guo Si and others were more fierce and murderous. Hearing the footsteps, they immediately rushed over. Li Jue picked up the tent door and looked out. Jia Xu walked in and shook the corners of his sleeves.

"Zhiran, stop watching, no one comes with me."

"Where is the envoy of the court?" Li Qi put down the tent door and stared at Jia Xu tightly. "What did the person surnamed Xun tell you? Also, is the person next to him, Zhang Liao?"

"So what if it's Zhang Liao? Do you dare to chase after him and kill him?"

"I..." Li Jue was furious and pulled out half of the long sword with a "swish". "Jia Wenhe, do you want to sell us?"

Jia Xu glanced at him, shook his head disdainfully, and walked slowly to Niu Fu. "General, I'm back." Li Jue followed him. Just as he was about to speak, Niu Fu waved his hand and said weakly: "Zhiran, go back. Can you use your brain? If Wenhe wants to sell us, why should he come back? Isn't it just like following the Xun person to Chang'an? He has been a scholar and has been an official in the palace, but he is not a rough man like us."

Li Jue retreated in disappointment. Among the generals under Niu Fu's tent, he was also a little educated, unlike other generals who could not read many big words. However, compared with Jia Xu, he was indeed far behind.

"Wenhe, who is the person with the surname Xun, and what is his relationship with Xunshuang?"

"I came here with Xun You, Xun Shuang's grandchildren. I don't know what the relationship is. He did not come by the court, but came to see me in his private capacity." Jia Xu looked at Li Jue and others, a little unhappy. "What are you doing while standing? You can sit down. What else can you be polite at this time? We are all from Xiliang, and the sheep smell on our bodies cannot be washed away. Even if I want to defect to them, they must be respectful to me."

Li Jue and others looked at each other, couldn't help laughing, and sat in a circle. They didn't like to kneel like Han people, but they prefer to sit cross-legged. Anyway, they were wearing crotch-shaped pants, so they were not afraid of being exposed.

Jia Xu briefly said what Xun You talked to him, and finally said: "Wang Yun controlled Chang'an and the emperor. People were calm and morale were strong. But we were divided into three places. Xu Rong was wiped out in Nanyang, and people were panicked and should not fight hard. The most urgent task is to join forces first, at least to act in a unified way, and not let Wang Yun defeat them one by one. Even if we join forces with Dong Yue, we have 40,000 people and have the power to fight."

Niu Fu nodded repeatedly and touched his unshaven chin. "Then tell me, can Wang Situ forgive us?"

"It's hard to say, but even if he is willing to pardon us, we can't go to Chang'an."

"Then where are we going?"

"Let's go to Bingzhou."

"Bingzhou?" Niu Fu looked confused. "Our family is in Liangzhou, why should we go to Bingzhou?"

Li Jue and others also agreed, questioning Jia Xu's suggestion. Jia Xu was not in a hurry and looked at Niu Fu and others quietly until they stopped talking. Then he slowly said: "If you want to go back to Liangzhou, you must leave Chang'an, right?"

"That's more to say?"

"What if Wang Yun suddenly changes his mind and doesn't give us food when he arrives in Chang'an? Are you going to attack the city with hunger or go back to Liangzhou with hunger?"

Niu Fu and others looked at each other.

"Also, half of the people in Chang'an City moved from Luoyang. You know how many people in Luoyang you killed at that time. At that time, Wang Yun climbed the high ground and called on Luoyang people to be enemies with us in the name of the emperor. Can we still walk out of Guanzhong safely? Don't forget that Huangfu Song is in Chang'an."

When he heard the three words Huangfu Song, the atmosphere in the tent suddenly stammered, and no one dared to laugh. After a long time, Li Jue stammered and said, "Then it will be no danger for us to go to Bingzhou? Wang Yun and Lu Bu are all from Bingzhou. What if they ask Bingzhou people to intercept us?"

"Bingzhou is the hometown of Lu Bu and Zhang Liao, but they have no fame in their hometown. The famous one is Wang Yun, but Wang Yun is a famous scholar. Their family has money and grain, but no soldiers."

Guo Si slapped his thigh and laughed, "Yes, rob his mother."

Li Jue and Zhang Ji also laughed and nodded repeatedly. Niu Fu loosened his shoulders and laughed out loud. He waved his hands repeatedly to signal everyone to be quiet, and then listened to Jia Xu. "Then, after we arrive in Bingzhou, will we go back to Liangzhou?"

Jia Xu shook his head. "You have been with Gong Dong to fight in Bingzhou for many years. You should be very familiar with the situation in Bingzhou, right? Are you familiar with the Huns?"

"It's so familiar!" Li Jue understood it and said loudly: "Those Huns are the most sloppy. When fighting with us, there was a benefit to rush forward and hide back when they encountered hard bones. If Zhang Ranming hadn't always wanted to urge them, we would have killed them."

Guo Si also said: "Wenhe, you should be calm. If we talk about this terrain, we will definitely know Bingzhou more than Guanzhong. If we can occupy Bingzhou, we can attack Hedong, retreat, and go to Meiji, kill those Huns, occupy that pasture, and sheep can survive. Even if we encounter some trouble, as long as we break through Yanmen, we can grab enough food, which is much better than returning to Liangzhou."

Niu Fu smiled and said, "Then... will we contact Dong Yue and go to Hedong?"

"You can contact Dong Yue first to see what he means, but don't worry. I don't know what Wang Yun means now. If he is willing to pardon us, we can go to Bingzhou openly and go our separate ways. Don't be too obvious. If too strong strength is easy to cause suspicion. Bingzhou has a limited household registration and there are too many people, it may not be affordable. If Wang Yun refuses to pardon us, we will act together and attack Bingzhou."

"Wenhe is still thinking carefully." Li Jue laughed and patted Jia Xu on the shoulder hard. "Wenhe, I'm convinced you. No wonder Mr. Yan looked down on us, but he only valued you. Wenhe, according to me, there is no need to wait for any edicts. We will join forces to Bingzhou. General Niu is the governor of Bingzhou. If you are the master, we will also occupy a state to play and watch the changes in the times."

Niu Fu suddenly felt energetic, lay on the table, and came to Jia Xu. "Wenhe, I think this idea is good."

Jia Xu looked at him. "If the court was willing to issue a pardon edict, it would be fine if you wanted to be the governor of Bingzhou. If the court did not issue an edict, we occupied Bingzhou and you were the governor of Bingzhou. Do you still need to ask this? But you have thought about it. Bingzhou is adjacent to Jizhou, and Yuan Shao had a good relationship with the Xiongnu, Wuhuan, and Xianbei people. If you attract Yuan Shao's attention, we will be in peace."

Niu Fu's cheeks twitched, his neck shrank, and his eyes showed a look of fear. Li Jue and others stopped saying a word.

Jia Xu coughed: "General, if we want to gain a foothold in Jizhou, we need an ally."

"Who can be our ally?"
