In the big tent, Li Xiang's compliments immediately harvested a large wave of summoning points for him.
Of course, if you are courteous, you should also compliment others when they compliment you. Dong Zhuo still understood this.
"General Li is really ridiculous. Everyone in the North knows General Li's reputation." Dong Zhuo immediately replied with a smile after hearing Li Xiang's compliment.
"General Li, I have something to say but I don't know whether to say it or not?" Dong Zhuo suddenly said in a dilemma.
"It's okay to say it, Governor Dong," Li Xiang replied immediately.
"Hahaha, General Li and I hit it off like old friends. I wonder if I can shamelessly call General Li a good brother? How about that?" Dong Zhuo asked with a smile.
Li Xiang never expected that Dong Zhuo would say such a thing. You know, Dong Zhuo is a little older than his father.
However, in Li Xiang's view, Dong Zhuo would still be of great use in the future. Since he asked for it, he could just agree to it. What's more, given the age gap between the two, Li Xiang feels that it's not a bad idea to call him brother.
Besides, he was still on Dong Zhuo's territory. Even though Xing Tian was waiting for orders outside the tent, he was safe. But if we really want to refuse Dong Zhuo's request, I'm afraid it will not end well in a while.
"I have met my elder brother." Now that he had made his decision, Li Xiang did not hesitate and immediately changed his title and saluted Dong Zhuo.
"Hahaha, dear brother, you are so polite. Come on, dear brother, you and I can have another drink."
Dong Zhuo was obviously in a good mood at this time. At this time, Dong Zhuo was not the Dong Zhuo who would make waves in the Han Dynasty in the future.
At this time, Dong Zhuo was just a prefect, and he was obviously not doing well in the court despite his powerful background.
In Dong Zhuo's view, making friends with Li Xiang is still very beneficial to him. Li Xiang's father, Li Yang, was a dignified pastor of Bingzhou, and Li Xiang himself came from the Li family, a top family in Bingzhou. He was famous at a young age and was bound to have a bright future. Dong Zhuo felt that it would definitely be beneficial to his future development if he could make friends with Li Xiang.
Dong Zhuo achieved his goal, and Li Xiang felt that he was not at a loss, and maybe there would be additional benefits in the future. Therefore, for a while, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.
However, in the middle of drinking, Li Xiang sighed slightly as if by accident.
Dong Zhuo was sitting not far from Li Xiang at this time and focused most of his attention on Li Xiang. Naturally, he immediately discovered Li Xiang's strange phenomenon.
"Hahaha, dear brother, if you have any worries, tell me about it. Maybe I can help you solve it." Dong Zhuo said with a bold face.
"It's okay, brother. It's just that I was too hasty when I sent troops from Bingzhou. Nowadays, there is a shortage of civilian officials such as swordsmen, penmen, and clerks in the army. Now it is difficult to recruit in this war. These days, all the minor military affairs in the army are completely suppressed. When it comes to the younger brother, how can the younger brother know how to deal with these things when he is troubled by Wu Fu? The younger brother has been so worried these days. But he never thought that at such a joyful time as getting along with the elder brother, he would think of these annoying things, and the younger brother I'll punish myself with three cups first, and hope that my brother will forgive me."
After all, without waiting for Dong Zhuo's reaction, he drank three glasses of wine.
"Hahaha, it's just a trivial matter, so why should I worry about it, my dear brother? There are just a few small officials with swords and pens, but there is no shortage of them in my brother's army. After a banquet, I will ask my brother to pick a few Yu Xiandi, and let me They just come to your good brother's account and do what you want." Dong Zhuo said with a nonchalant look on his face. He could exchange a few swordsmen and pens for Li Xiang's favor, so Dong Zhuo didn't feel it was a loss in this transaction.
Realizing that Dong Zhuo was about to fall into the hole he dug, Li Xiang suppressed the joy in his heart and said casually,
"Thank you very much, brother. But why should I bother you personally to do such a small thing? I think that gentleman is pretty good. Why don't you just give him to me as a gift?" After saying that, Li Xiang pointed to Jia Xu as if he didn't care. direction.
Dong Zhuo was initially worried that Li Xiang was going to pick off some important figures in his army, and was thinking about how to refuse without offending Li Xiang. But he never thought that what Li Xiang wanted was someone he had no memory of.
Dong Zhuo felt that since this man had no memory of himself, he must be just a mediocre person. In this case, just give it to Li Xiang. Isn't it wonderful that a useless person can exchange a favor with Li Xiang?
"Since my dear brother is interested in this person, I will give him to my dear brother and let him be used in my account." Dong Zhuo said to Li Xiang with a bold face again.
When Li Xiang heard this, he immediately pretended to be grateful and said, "Thank you very much, brother. Brother, please. I'll give you another drink, little brother."
Of course, Li Xiang was indeed very grateful to Dong Zhuo at this time. Unexpectedly, Dong Zhuo gave Jia Xu to him so simply. A design I tried out at random actually succeeded so easily.
With Jia Xu's intelligence, he is definitely one of the top ones in the entire Three Kingdoms. Li Xiang felt that in terms of intelligence alone, even the genius and Wolong might not be able to surpass Jia Xu.
Jia Xu was a famous counselor and military strategist during the Three Kingdoms period and the founding hero of Cao Wei. He was originally a general under Dong Zhuo. After Dong Zhuo's death, he offered Li Jue and Guo Si a plan to counterattack Chang'an. After Li Jue and others failed, he became Zhang Xiu's adviser. Zhang Xiu used his tactics to defeat Cao Cao twice. Before the Battle of Guandu, he persuaded Zhang Xiu to surrender to Cao Cao.
During the Battle of Guandu, Jia Xu advocated a decisive battle with Yuan Shao. Before the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao believed that the people should be appeased rather than mobilize troops to attack Jiangdong. Cao Cao refused to listen and suffered a serious defeat. When Cao Cao and the allied forces in Guanzhong were in a stalemate in Weinan, Jia Xu used a divisive plan to disrupt Ma Chao and Han Sui, allowing Cao Cao to pacify Guanzhong in one fell swoop.
When it comes to determining Cao Cao's successor, Jia Xu used Yuan Shao and Liu Biao as examples, implying that Cao Cao should not abolish the elders and establish younger ones, thus secretly helping Cao Pi become the heir apparent.
After Cao Pi became emperor, he asked Jia Xu whether he should destroy Shu or Wu first. Jia Xu suggested that the country should be governed first before using force. Cao Pi refused to listen, and he returned to conquer Wu without success.
Compared with other counselors of the same era and the same level, Jia Xu's reputation is indeed far inferior. But this does not mean that Jia Xu is worse than others, it is just because Jia Xu is too low-key. If others don't ask, I'm afraid Jia Xu will just pretend not to know, and rarely offer advice like other counselors.
Moreover, although Jia Xu does not often offer advice, once he does offer advice, it is bound to succeed, and he is often very vicious and cuts directly to the enemy's vital points. His reputation as a poisonous person is definitely deserved.
Li Xiang almost couldn't help laughing to the sky when he thought that the poisonous man Jia Wenhe would soon become his own.
"This Dong Zhuo is indeed my good big brother, good brother. I have just recognized him, and Dong Zhuo has given me such a great gift." Li Xiang thought with a hint of pride in his heart.
