When the big lion heard this,
It let down its guard, understanding human nature,
It lay on the ground,
It flicked its tail lazily,
Its blue eyes narrowed slightly as it enjoyed the sunlight above its head. The little lion was playing below when it raised its head and saw Lü Bu staring at it.
"Roar!" It roared at Lü Bu.
After a long period of feeding and intimacy..,
The little lion was already very familiar with Lü Bu,
Its eyes kept looking at him, and its nose twitched,
It rolled out of the big lion's arms and pulled out a black iron shield from the corner of the pavilion with its mouth.
Seeing the little lion's hind legs exerting strength..,
Lü Bu looked at the angle and realized that it was his foster father's shield,
He was dumbfounded. Was this used as a nest?
"Roar!" The big lion opened its eyes and looked at the little lion behind it. It slapped it back with its front paw,
It lectured.
The little lion put down the big shield in its mouth,
It roared with an unconvinced expression. It just wanted to show its new nest to its good partner,
What's wrong.
Lü Bu looked reluctantly at the furball rolling in the big lion's arms. He raised his head and saw Jia Xu deep in thought. He coughed lightly and said, "Let's go."
Jia Xu heard this and followed behind him. Before he left, he turned his head to look at the two white-furred lions in the pavilion.
The big moon was in half a month,
Jia Xu had some free time after teaching Lü Bu every day,
There was a knock on the door outside,
As soon as he opened the door, the palace servant outside bowed to him.
"Master Jia, the general has something to ask you to go over."
Jia Xu was not surprised at all. He had been thinking about it for half a month. The general probably wanted to know the answer as well.
"Got it. Thank you for your trouble."
A moment later, Jia Xu, who had changed into a new set of clothes, was led to the study by the palace servant. It was silent. There was the sound of rustling pages in the room.
Suddenly, a calm voice came from the door. "Hmm?
You're here? "
The head of the palace servant bowed. "Master has arrived."
"Come in."
Jia Xu pushed open the door under the signal of the palace servants. As soon as he entered, the first thing he saw was a black and gold hanging curtain. The wooden windows on both sides were wide open. When the breeze over the lotus pond blew, the windows fluttered, revealing the black iron weapons at the bottom of the pillars.
As soon as Jia Xu stepped in, his gaze was involuntarily attracted by the man in black armor sitting at the head of the table. His handsome features were slightly gentler because he was at home. His pair of black eyes were focused on the document in his hand, picking up the pen beside him to mark something.
When the man heard the sound of the door opening, he put down the document in his hand and crossed his hands under his chin. His gaze swept over the motionless Jia Xu at the door.
Black armor and white feathers. The man wore a jade crown on his head and had long white feathers draped over his shoulders. His armor shone with a blood-red light. Just by sitting there, he gave off a murderous aura. However, the latter's eyes were clear. It was obvious that he was a person with a firm will.
The man looked at Jia Xu. It was only then that Jia Xu realized that the man's eyes were frighteningly dark. Nothing could hide from them. "How's your thinking going?"
Jia Xu sighed at the scene he saw. "General, you are really a man of God."
Just by sitting there alone, people could see the scene of corpses and blood on the battlefield behind him. Broken spears, long flags, and the setting sun made people envious.
Xie Lige nodded, then stared at him motionlessly. He raised his eyebrows and said, "You came here just to say this?"
Jia Xu shook his head. "Of course not."
Xie Lige did not move. His eyes were fixed on Jia Xu's movements. Looking at the latter's firm eyes, he chose to continue waiting for the latter to speak.
"I have something to ask the general."
"Please speak!" Xie Lige nodded. "Come, take a seat."
Jia Xu sat under the pillar. As soon as he settled down, the palace servant outside the door bent over to serve tea. After the palace servant left, Jia Xu picked up the tea and took a sip.
"Does the general do things for the sake of the Han?" Jia Xu said directly.
Hearing this, Xie Lige smiled. He knew that Jia Xu was really considering him as a strategist. This question was clearly a question he had raised. If he was not satisfied with his answer, with this person's temperament, he would probably leave without looking back.
The hearty laughter echoed in the room. It was so loud that the palace servants outside could hear it clearly.
Jia Xu played with the teacup in his hand and did not make a sound.
The laughter gradually stopped. Xie Lige withdrew the expression on his face. He looked firmly at Jia Xu below and said firmly, "For the Han!"
"The first creed of Cangyun is that we will not betray the country!"
His gaze looked through the door to the layers of mountains. He saw the man in the future in the wind and rain. He was surrounded by strong enemies, but he still maintained his unyielding pride.
Jia Xu asked in return, "Is the Han not dead?" Do you think the Great Khan will not die?
This far-sighted strategist clearly saw through the clues now that the future of the Han was certain to be destroyed. His gaze swept over Xie Lige, waiting for his answer.
Unexpectedly, Xie Lige laughed. After laughing, he said seriously, "If she falls, I will help her up!"
His voice revealed his pride, but it was not repulsive. Jia Xu could clearly see that when he said the words "the Han", a trace of gentleness flashed through his black eyes. He could see that this general was speaking his own thoughts.
If the Han falls, he will help her up.
If the city walls fall, he will stand guard here.
Jia Xu stared blankly at the arrogant Xie Lige. All sorts of feelings welled up in his heart. He sighed and said, "General, you have a sense of righteousness."
It was impossible to say that Jia Xu had never dreamed of supporting the Han Dynasty. Every scholar who had experienced the prosperity of the Han Dynasty would have such a dream. Jia Xu had dreamed countless times of that bustling Luoyang, of the long lines of people shuttling back and forth under the bright lights, of fragrant carriages. If the future Jia Xu heard these words, he would definitely leave without looking back. After experiencing so much, he cherished his life. The destruction of the Han Dynasty was inevitable.
Unfortunately, he was hearing the young Jia Xu. There was still some hot blood in his heart that had not been ruthlessly crushed. Thus, he was naturally convinced by Xie Lige's decisive words.
"May we, General, have your wish fulfilled." Jia Xu stood up and bowed like a tactician to his lord.
Xie Lige also stood up and accepted Jia Xu's bow. However, this time, he looked at Jia Xu with bright eyes. The corners of his lips curled up as he said, "You are wrong. You should say, may we have our wish fulfilled."
May the mountains and rivers remain the same. May the flourishing age enjoy peace.
After this conversation, Jia Xu left Xie Lige's room. When he returned to his own room, he found that Lü Bu was already waiting inside. He was hugging his shield and looking at the lotus pond not far away.
Lü Bu saw that Jia Xu had returned. He raised his head and said with certainty, "Adoptive Father called you over."
"Yes."
"Are you going to become Adoptive Father's tactician?"
"Does the young general know?"
Lü Bu moved to the side. When he heard Jia Xu's question, he shook his head honestly and said, "No, it was just a guess."
In order to prevent Jia Xu from not believing him, he deliberately explained.
"Adoptive Father has been wanting a tactician for a long time. Many people have recommended themselves to the General's Mansion, but they were all rejected by him. You are the first tactician that he has taken the initiative to confirm. There is no way he will let you leave."
Lü Bu could see clearly that Xie Lige would never let a tactician from Liangzhou leave Liangzhou. It had nothing to do with personal grudges. If Xie Lige wanted to continue recruiting tacticians in the future, he would not let Jia Xu leave. Either Jia Xu would never seek refuge with others, or Jia Xu would choose to reject the olive branch offered by Liangzhou and seek refuge with others. To a certain extent, other scholars would misunderstand that there was something wrong with this general who guarded the city. Most of them would neglect Liangzhou when they came out of retirement.
One should not underestimate the network between scholars who were not good at martial arts. Sometimes, the flow of information between them was faster than that of some professionals.
"Young general, you are wise."
Jia Xu sighed. He could not help but think that like father, like son. As his son, Lü Bu's words made him look at him in a new light.
At such a young age, he had already seen the situation clearly.
Lü Bu said indifferently, "Adoptive father said that we have to look at the overall situation and not just focus on Liangzhou."
So, the obedient Lü Bu copied Xie Lige's words and looked at the entire Great Han.
Jia Xu was speechless.
"The general has invested a lot of effort in the young general." After a while, the tactician only said this one sentence.
He personally taught Lü Bu, who was only his adoptive son in name. Wen Tao chose him. Wu Lue could see the importance of Lü Bu in the hearts of the soldiers from the way he addressed him. He tried his best to give Lü Bu the best he could. He was even afraid that it would not be enough, so he groomed Lü Bu to see the big picture.
To put it bluntly, Xie Lige was grooming Lü Bu to be his successor.
"Of course!" Lü Bu looked at him indifferently.
As soon as his voice fell, Lü Bu said goodbye.
Jia Xu watched as his master, who seemed to be a miniature version of himself, held his shield with a straight face and spoke in an orderly manner about the tour in seven days.
"Cangyun has already been built for three months. Adoptive father probably wants to see their strength. You can come in seven days."
Lü Bu's gaze revealed pity when he said this. Originally, Jia Xu had been unwilling to surrender. Lü Bu saw that Xie Lige was a bit impatient and proposed a Cangyun martial arts performance. After it was successfully approved, he came to Jia Xu to invite him to take a look.
Did you see that?
I have a large group of Alaskans. If you don't listen, I will bite you to death!
… Uh!
Lü Bu wanted to use force to shock Jia Xu. He chose to invite him to watch the martial arts performance. On one hand, he wanted to tell him the strength of Liangzhou City. On the other hand, he also wanted to warn him that if he refused, his adoptive father would not make a move, but he would not let him go.
Who was Jia Xu? When he heard Lü Bu's invitation, he immediately understood. He was immediately satisfied with the latter's decisiveness. The latter must have expected that Xie Lige would not kill him if he refused, so he came to warn him in advance.
This child will definitely be extraordinary in the future!
