At night, after having had enough wine and food, Li Xiang reluctantly led Xing Tian and Jia Xu back to his camp.
As soon as he entered the big tent, Li Xiang looked up to the sky and burst out laughing.
This burst of laughter made Xing Tian confused for a while, but he was a fool at first. He rubbed his head to himself, and then he couldn't figure it out and didn't want to think any more.
After laughing for a while, Li Xiang regained his composure. Regardless of Jia Xu's reaction, he immediately stepped forward to win over Jia Xu and said, "With Mr. Wen He's help, I will have nothing to worry about in the future."
Indeed, when people mention Jia Wenhe, the first thing they think of is his machinations and viciousness. The Three Kingdoms was an era where counselors emerged in large numbers, and there were definitely a lot of counselors with intelligence above 90. However, among the many counselors, there may be some who are stronger than Jia Xu in terms of overall strength, but in terms of conspiracy and viciousness, I am afraid no one can match him. In this regard, perhaps only Li Ru, who also belongs to Dong Zhuo's army, can barely compete with him. Comparable.
Jia Xu was a Machiavellian in the most typical sense during the Three Kingdoms era. Unlike Zhuge Liang, who held the post of prime minister and focused on governing the country and ensuring peace, he was also unlike Zhou Yu, who served as a general and was good at leading troops in battle. Jia Xu had no intention of becoming a warlord who supported his troops and dominated one side. His identity was always behind the scenes. He kept emerging from behind the thick curtain of a certain general. On the surface, he was offering advice, but he often had the effect of strategizing.
In Li Xiang's view, Jia Wen and Zai could not be plotted against him by ordinary conspiracies, and the other party even had to worry about being plotted against him by conspiracies from his own side.
"General Li's words are serious. Xu is just a low-level official with little talent and knowledge. How can he help the general." Jia Xu said expressionlessly.
Having said that, ever since I saw Jia Xu until now, this person has always maintained this expressionless look, without showing any extra expression.
"Mr. Wenhe is too modest. Xiang may not know much about other things, but he is very knowledgeable about Mr. Jia's talents." Li Xiang said with a smile on his face.
Before Jia Xu could react, Li Xiang continued with a half-smile, "My husband was not famous when he was young. Only Yan Zhong, a famous scholar from Xiliang at that time, thought that he was different and said that he was as talented as Zhang Liang and Chen Ping.
In his early years, Mr. Wen He was imprisoned as a man by the Emperor Xiaolian. He resigned due to illness and returned westward to his hometown to reach Qiandi. On the way, he met the rebellious Di people and was captured by the Di people along with dozens of others. The husband then lied and claimed that he was the grandson of Duke Duan. As long as these traitors did not harm him, his family would pay a large sum of money to redeem him. Mr. Wenhe, I wonder if Xiangzhi’s words are correct? "
Hearing this, Jia Xu's unmoving face finally showed a little surprise. Although it was just fleeting, it was still noticed by Li Xiang, who had been staring at Jia Xu.
"Mr. Wenhe, now that the prelude to the troubled times has begun, Xiang wants to take advantage of this opportunity to achieve great things. I wonder if you, sir, are willing to help?"
Li Xiang, who had some understanding of Jia Xu's character, got straight to the point.
"General Li, Jia Xu knows how much he can do for himself. It's not that Jia Xu doesn't want to help the general, it's really that Jia Xu has the will and powerlessness to do it." Jia Xu, however, seemed to be a dramatist for a moment, and another scene appeared. Grateful said again with an embarrassed look on his face.
Seeing this situation, Li Xiang sighed slightly, but still had to use the last resort. This old fox was really troublesome to deal with.
Thinking of this, Li Xiang immediately stopped hesitating and pulled out the Chixiao sword tied to his waist, and without saying a word, he placed it on Jia Xu's neck.
"Xiang Sheng is working in parallel. If he is not used by me, he will be killed by me. Xiang did not hear clearly what Mr. Xiang said just now. Please take the trouble to answer what Xiang just asked. I wonder if Mr. Xiang is willing to help Xiang?"
Throughout the Three Kingdoms, among all the counselors, Jia Xu was probably the one who was most afraid of death. It can be said that Jia Xu took his own strategy to the extreme.
Jia Xu first came to prominence when he was under Li Jue. In order to protect himself, he suggested that Li Jue and others attack Chang'an, causing chaos. It can be said that his strategy is only focused on survival, with the survival of himself and the people around him as the first priority. For his own safety, Jia Xu didn't care that the strategies he used would cause the country to be eclipsed and the world to be in chaos.
Therefore, Li Xiang is confident that as long as he uses this last move, Jia Xu will obey and be used by Li Xiang.
As for the future, Li Xiang is not worried. As long as Jia Xu joins his staff, he will never leave him in this life. Li Xiang will never give him the slightest chance.
Sure enough, as soon as Li Xiang's sword touched Jia Xu's neck, Jia Xu's expression immediately changed and he immediately said, "See my lord, it's a great honor to be valued by my lord." After saying that, Jia Xu also said He bowed seriously to Li Xiang.
"Hahaha, with the help of Mr. Wenhe, Xiang is really at home." Li Xiang said with a smile on his face.
Then, Li Xiang turned his head to Xingtian and said, "Xingtian, Mr. Jia will be the military advisor of our army in the future. You must respect Mr. Jia as much as you respect me. You will go first in the next few days." Just protect Mr. Jia's safety. If anything happens to Mr. Jia, I will only ask you."
In his words, Li Xiang also emphasized the word protection slightly.
Moreover, Li Xiang seemed to care about Jia Xu inadvertently and said, "Wen He, please relax. Later I will immediately arrange for escorts to pick up Wen He and his family to settle in Bingzhou. After this war, Wen He can go to Bingzhou to settle down with us." There is no need to travel long distances to Wuwei to meet your family members. It is much safer for your family to live in Bingzhou than in the desolate Liangzhou."
"Ding, congratulations to the host for gaining 10 summoning points from Jia Xu. The remaining summoning points are currently 421."
After Xingtian and Jia Xu left, and only Li Xiang was left in the tent, Li Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, finally taking care of Jia Xu.
Speaking of which, Jia Xu is also strange. Summoning points can only be generated by others' kind words and persuasion. But this Jia Xu had to threaten him before he was willing to worship the Lord, and even created a summoning point.
In fact, Li Xiang is not worried about Jia Xu, an old fox, betraying him. Although Jia Xu has served under many people, perhaps this poisonous warrior has never been loyal to anyone at all, but what is rare is that Jia Xu has not harmed any of his lords. As for Jia Xu, Li Xiang feels that he can still be of great use.
Moreover, as long as Jia Xu doesn't threaten his life and gives him a sense of security, he doesn't mind doing some practical things and making some suggestions for you.
