Chapter 27: Cunning Jia Xu, the ability to smooth things over has reached the peak

~6 min read 1,012 words

Joining the Dong Zhuo Army through Hua Xiong's recommendation made Gu Yi accepted by the Xiliang direct line.

But at the same time, it would also make him naturally hostile to the Luoyang Imperial Guard faction and the Bingzhou faction.

Sitting directly beside Dong Zhuo helped Gu Yi reduce a lot of trouble.

After everyone was seated,

Dong Zhuo spoke in a deep voice:

"Everyone, the core target of that group of Guandong thieves has shifted from Sishui Pass to Hulao Pass."

"I have come here personally to sit in command, hoping that everyone can perform well in the upcoming battle and not let me down."

Hearing this, a flash of fighting spirit appeared in everyone's eyes.

Internal contradictions are internal contradictions.

On external issues, everyone was relatively consistent.

Whether it was Lu Bu or Xu Rong,

or Zhang Ji and Hua Xiong,

they all hoped to use the bones of the Guandong coalition as the foundation for their own fame!

However, Gu Yi soon noticed.

Among the seats on both sides, only one middle-aged man with a slightly hunched figure was different.

This person's face was full of vicissitudes, wearing a gray robe.

It formed a sharp contrast with the group of martial generals around him.

What was extremely cunning was that

this person sat at the very back of the left side, which was the row of the Xiliang Army direct line.

But the position he sat in had almost reached the outside of the council hall.

If it weren't for Gu Yi specifically looking up to observe,

it would likely be difficult to notice this fellow who deliberately lowered his own presence.

"This guy, could it be Jia Xu?"

Gu Yi guessed in his heart.

Looking at the Xiliang Army, only this fellow Jia Xu was the most cautious and the most cunning.

However, Jia Xu was destined to miscalculate this time.

Even if he sat at the very back of the council hall,

he still couldn't escape Boss Dong's GPS automatic tracking!

Before setting off from Luoyang, Li Ru had already recommended Jia Xu to Dong Zhuo.

No matter how Jia Xu hid, it was of no use at all.

Of course,

if following the original historical process,

there was no such thing as Li Ru recommending Jia Xu.

In the original history, the Battle of Hulao Pass, due to the critical situation, was presided over by Li Ru accompanying Dong Zhuo to sit in Hulao Pass.

And now,

under the flapping of Gu Yi's butterfly wings,

Hua Xiong not only didn't die but also made great contributions!

The situation also turned from unfavorable to the Dong Zhuo Army to unfavorable to the Guandong lords.

Li Ru naturally didn't need to rush to Hulao Pass personally to devise strategies for Dong Zhuo.

Consequently, it led to the appearance of the recommendation of Jia Xu to Dong Zhuo by Li Ru, which did not exist originally.

"Wenhe, you tell me how our army should respond to that group of Guandong rebels?"

Dong Zhuo named Jia Xu to speak.

Jia Xu, who was sitting at the very back of the council hall and almost falling asleep, had no choice but to stand up and respond:

"The Prime Minister is wise and martial; what is there to fear from mere Guandong rebels?"

"Moreover, our army has countless good generals, each of whom is a great talent capable of handling things alone."

"Once the military edge is out, won't the enemy collapse?"

Once these words were spoken, a flash of pride appeared on the faces of all the generals.

Only Gu Yi forcibly held back his laughter.

This Jia Xu was truly an old fox.

When it comes to the ability to smooth things over, Jia Xu can be called the peak.

The words he said were equivalent to first flattering Dong Zhuo, and then praising all the Dong Zhuo Army generals present.

Listening to it, it felt very awesome.

But in essence?

Jia Xu didn't even propose a single suggestion!

Everything he said was nonsense.

But it was precisely this nonsense that made people feel very comfortable.

Gu Yi believed that this personality of Jia Xu, if placed in the 21st century of the Blue Star, would likely be very successful.

"Hahahaha, Wenyou is right, Jia Wenhe, you fellow are truly cunning."

Dong Zhuo laughed and scolded.

But in his words, there was no intention to deal with Jia Xu.

In fact,

relying on the current combat power of the Dong Zhuo Army, as well as the high morale,

it was the Guandong lords who should be worried.

In itself, the Guandong lords were the attacking side.

This was at a natural disadvantage.

Hulao Pass also had the reputation of being the "heroic pass of the world."

The difficulty of wanting to conquer Hulao Pass was not generally high.

The Dong Zhuo Army only needed to hold the pass firmly to slowly lay the foundation for victory in this battle.

Of course, today's military meeting was less about discussing how to hold Hulao Pass, and more like discussing what method to use to defeat the Guandong coalition!

Gu Yi did not speak voluntarily.

He believed that it was not yet time to devise strategies and hit the nail on the head.

The Dong Zhuo Army needed a great victory, preferably killing a few lords!

Only in this way could the Guandong region be stable for a period of time.

Eventually,

Dong Zhuo decided to temporarily adopt the method of holding Hulao Pass.

He ordered Hua Xiong, Zhang Ji, Xu Rong, Lu Bu, and others to lead troops to take turns on duty.

Wait until the coalition of lords could not conquer Hulao Pass and their morale was severely damaged, then rush out of the pass in one fell swoop to defeat them!
