Chapter 282

Li Jue and Guo Si both looked at Jia Xu,

"Jia Wenhe, if you have any strategy, speak it."

Jia Xu bowed,

"Everyone knows that it was I who persuaded Liu Bei to defect to Lord Dong."

After Jia Xu finished speaking, he couldn't help but feel a bit uncomfortable.

Li Jue asked strangely,

"Weren't you pitted miserably by Liu Bei? Why bring this up?"

Jia Xu sighed,

"That is why I know that Liu Bei is a man of deep city, meticulous mind, and I have had contact with him."

Guo Si and the others nodded one after another; they had all been pitted by Liu Bei, so of course they knew!

They became impatient. If Jia Xu was here to reminisce about bitterness and sweetness, he should get lost quickly!

Seeing that their expressions were unkind, Jia Xu hurriedly got straight to the point,

"Think about it, why does Liu Bei want to attack Chang'an?"

"Is it because Wang Yun summoned him, saying the Emperor is in trouble?"

Everyone nodded; that is the logic.

Jia Xu continued,

"Now that Wang Yun has committed suicide, the imperial court is controlled by you generals, and the Emperor is safe and sound. You are definitely meritorious officials."

Li Jue sighed,

"Isn't that so? We are great meritorious officials. That Lu Bu wanted to hijack the Emperor, but we drove him away!"

Fan Chou said in a muffled voice,

"I killed several rebel soldiers who wanted to snatch wealth in the chaos! It seems they were Bingzhou soldiers!"

They rolled their eyes at this dirty water; did this guy snatch less himself?

Jia Xu looked around,

"Now that the imperial court is stable, what reason does Liu Bei have to attack Chang'an?"

Everyone's eyes lit up; that is the logic.

"Liu Bei isn't called loyal and righteous? Attacking us is attacking the Emperor!"

"Right!"

"Generals, the imperial court is newly settled. You—no, the Emperor—can enfeoff officials to warlords everywhere to stabilize the situation."

"I am willing to go as an envoy to Liu Bei, take the Emperor's edict, enfeoff him as an official, and make him retreat!"

Li Jue nodded,

"Good, enfeoff Liu Bei as an official and make him retreat!"

The few then became unhappy again. They had just become generals, yet Liu Bei, who hadn't done anything, had just become General Who Pacifies the West, and now he's being promoted again?

Unhappy as they were, let them go fight Liu Bei? That was something they absolutely didn't dare to do.

After discussing, Jia Xu took the edict and prepared to go as an envoy.

Li Ru chased after Jia Xu and sighed,

"Wenhe, we may not be able to meet again after this trip. I wish you a journey of ten thousand miles."

Jia Xu cupped his hands,

"Is there anything you need, brother, that I can do?"

Li Ru whispered a few words,

and Jia Xu was stunned on the spot, "The Lady of Weiyang is not dead?"

Jia Xu thought for a moment,

"Alright then, Liu Bei is benevolent, he will definitely give the Lady of Weiyang a way to live."

The two cupped their hands and said goodbye; this parting is for a lifetime!

Feng Yi Commandery,

Liu Bei's army was marching toward Chang'an, majestic and dusty!

"Report~!"

"My lord, there is a team of people ahead who say they are envoys of the imperial court. The leader says he is an old acquaintance of yours, Jia Xu from Liangzhou, courtesy name Wenhe."

"Understood, bring them over!"

Liu Bei didn't expect that the imperial court's envoy would be Jia Xu.

"Wenyuan, notify everyone to rest on the spot and bury pots to cook food."

"Yes!"

Zhang Fei laughed heartily,

"Big brother, is it that Jia Wenhe from Luoyang last time? Let me receive him."
