In fact, the Cangyun Army had already fought many times during their training.
Every time they went out of the city, they killed all the foreign tribes on the grasslands.
They were terrified.
The foreign tribes outside Liangzhou City would tremble in fear when they saw the word "Dong" on the flag.
Not to mention the black-armored soldiers who were facing them.
Lü Bu and Guo Si contributed greatly to this.
Guo Si, who was in the field, seemed to feel someone's gaze on him. He raised his head in confusion and saw Xie Lige standing beside him with a smile.
He immediately cupped his fists and said, "General."
"No need to be so polite." Xie Lige waved his hand.
He looked down at the Cangyun Army, which looked like an army of tigers and wolves. He sighed in his heart. "You have trained the Cangyun Army very well."
There were specializations in every field.
It had to be said that Guo Si was a natural genius at training soldiers. Xie Lige only gave a rough explanation of the Cangyun Army's training methods.
He was able to train this army to be 70% similar to the Cangyun Army that he mentioned. This was a task that even Xie Lige could not accomplish.
This was also the reason why Xie Lige sighed.
Guo Si was a little surprised by the sudden praise.
After a moment, ecstasy surged in his heart.
His originally expressionless face was suddenly filled with uncontrollable joy. For him, it was
To him, there was nothing better than being praised by someone he admired.
He maintained his composure on the surface.
His eyes revealed the ecstasy in his heart. Guo Si lowered his head to hide his almost uncontrollable expression.
Xie Lige, who had been watching everything that had happened, finally couldn't hold it in anymore.
He said with a smile in his tone, "You are really good. Don't belittle yourself."
This child was too cute.
Guo Si's ears turned red, but his face was still expressionless. He tried his best to maintain his dignified image in front of the soldiers.
Just as he was about to speak,
There was a sudden change in the field.
A soldier in armor came to the training field.
He half-knelt on the ground and saluted. "General, someone from the capital has come."
Xie Lige lowered his head and frowned. "When did they arrive?"
When Xie Lige heard this news, he was not in a good mood. Although he was a Cangyun disciple and was not allowed to betray the country, every Cangyun did not have a good impression of the Emperor. Who asked them to have a similar experience? Naturally, when Xie Lige heard that someone from the capital had come, his first reaction was that the Emperor was going to cause some trouble.
The soldier kneeling on the ground said, "He just arrived. He has been led to the side by Mister Jia. Mister sent me to inform the general and ask the general to quickly return to the mansion."
Xie Lige heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that the envoy from the capital had been hindered by Jia Xu. He was very confident in Jia Xu's eloquence. At the very least, he would not be scolded by the envoy from the capital.
。
Jia Xu was the only one who could trick others.
Xie Lige and Jia Xu once talked all night. Xie Lige talked about the attack and defense of Liangzhou, the general situation of the world, and the situation of the various provinces to Lü Bu's education. The range of topics could kill countless people, but only Jia Xu could answer smoothly. The latter had a smile on his face and hit the nail on the head for many questions.
The various predictions of the general situation of the world made Xie Lige sigh that he had tied up the right person at that time. He was also glad that Lü Bu had a good habit of showing him whenever he got something good, which allowed him to meet this terrifying ghost. It could not be helped that Jia Xu had accurately predicted many problems that would happen in the future during that meeting.
Among them, the thing that made Xie Lige's hair stand on end was Jia Xu's inference that the world's chaos would last for a long time.
Xie Lige was stunned at that time. For the first time, he doubted his own intelligence. Just as he was about to ask further, Jia Xu chose to avoid answering. In the blink of an eye, the whole conversation was led to the issue of Lü Bu's education, which Xie Lige was interested in. Xie Lige gave in.
The two of them chatted happily.
He recalled that he had tried to ask about the general situation of the world countless times that night, but his attention was cleverly diverted by Jia Xu. The most important thing was that Jia Xu's change of topic not only did not make people feel disgusted, but also made people feel that the person in front of them was polite and polite. It was easy for them to like him.
This kind of person would be tricked by the people of the capital. In any case, Xie Lige was the first to not believe it.
In reality, the entire matter was indeed as Xie Lige had predicted. Jia Xu did not give in at all when it came to the issue of the envoy from the capital. His entire person was as slippery as a loach, making it difficult for people to see through him.
The envoy from the capital looked at Jia Xu, who was smiling at him, and his evaluation of Liangzhou City greatly increased. He originally thought that Liangzhou City only had the infamous Cangyun Jun and the courageous Xiliang Heavy Cavalry. Other than that, it was just a group of brash people.
All of this was shattered when he saw Jia Xu. The words that came out of this person's mouth really made people scratch their heads.
He even regretted volunteering to come here to the Emperor. If this person in front of him was really Dong Zhuo's legendary strategist, it was not hard to imagine that the person who could use him would not be an ordinary person.
The envoy from the capital had these thoughts and chatted with Jia Xu for a long time. On the surface, the two of them chatted happily, but in reality, they each had their own ulterior motives. However, in comparison, Jia Xu was much more relaxed. He drank tea as he looked at the envoy from the capital across from him, who was clearly very anxious but was trying hard to suppress his anxiety. He did not expect that the envoy's gaze that occasionally swept across the door would expose him.
At this time, the sound of unhurried footsteps came from the door, mixed with the sound of armor clashing against metal. The door was pushed open by a palace servant. Behind him stood a cold general in black armor.
This general in black armor gave off a murderous aura that could be felt from far away. Everyone's exposed skin couldn't help but have goosebumps. Some people couldn't help but shiver when they felt this murderous aura.
When the envoy from the capital saw this general, he immediately knew that this was Dong Zhuo.
He was the general guarding the city of Liangzhou City, a powerful warlord, and also a great threat to the foreign tribes. It was said that many of the foreign tribes in the grassland had fled after being killed by the Cangyun Army under his command. Even now, the children of the foreign tribes still saw him as a nightmare. In the past, he had thought that these words were all exaggerated, but now he understood.
All of this was because he had underestimated this general.
Those who were not present had no way of knowing the pressure he was facing. From the moment the general in black armor entered, the envoy from the capital felt like there was a mountain pressing down on his heart. The sound of his footsteps was like a soul-reaping emissary under the hand of the King of Hell. He couldn't help but hold his breath, but still accidentally met the eyes of the general in black armor.
It was a pair of cold and emotionless eyes, as if nothing in this world could attract his attention. The murderous aura in the depths of his eyes made the envoy from the capital instantly suspect that he was a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, and that the general in black armor was a high and mighty predator.
Out of the corner of his eye, Xie Lige glanced at the envoy from the capital who was looking at him with trepidation. He did not understand why the latter had such a fearful look in his eyes. His face was white without a beard, and his movements were feminine. When he spoke, he did not say anything but smiled. It seemed that he was someone from the palace. Thinking about the famous Emperor Ling of Han, Xie Lige immediately understood.
In history, Emperor Ling of Han's reign was the period when the eunuchs held the most power.
However, Xie Lige didn't like to deal with this group of people. He turned his head to look at the smiling Jia Xu and said, "Sir, why did you call this one?"
Ever since the two of them had a good conversation, they had changed how they addressed each other. Jia Xu's attitude towards Xie Lige had changed a lot, and the most obvious change was that he no longer hid his incompetence.
Xie Lige also made corresponding changes. For example, he no longer forced Jia Xu to do things he didn't like. He did his best to trust him and took the initiative to address himself as an equal.
When Jia Xu heard this, he smiled at the eunuch envoy, who wanted to hide in a crack in the ground, and said meaningfully, "General's question will have to be answered by Sir Envoy."
In the end, Jia Xu didn't have an official position in the military. The envoy from the capital was at least a fourth-rank official. Calling him Sir Envoy was not wrong. The reason why Jia Xu could receive this envoy with his own status was because he was the most trusted advisor of the general's residence. He was like a retainer during the Warring States Period.
It seemed that this envoy had something to ask of him. As the saying goes, one doesn't visit a temple without a cause. When he heard that the capital had something to ask of him, Xie Lige immediately raised his guard. Disregarding everything else, he didn't trust the mind of the emperor sitting on the dragon throne.
There was no other reason.
This emperor's reputation as an incapable ruler was too great.
Since ancient times, countless poems had described the deeds of this incapable ruler. Among them, the most outstanding one was the one that everyone was familiar with, "Chu Shi Biao". That's right, it was the one written by Zhuge Da.
There was a sentence that everyone should be very familiar with: "When the previous emperor was alive, every time he discussed this matter with this subject, he would sigh and hate Yu Heng and Ling Ye."
This so-called Spirit Emperor was Spirit Emperor Han, who was currently sitting on the Dragon Throne.
Xie Lige sat at the head of the table. He picked up the teacup next to him and took a sip. He blew on it and looked at the envoy from the capital. "Then, may I know why you have come from the capital to Western Liang?"
In Xie Lige's opinion, this sentence was very normal. He didn't say that he wanted to increase the pressure. He just calmly glanced at the envoy from the capital.
The envoy's face immediately turned pale. He stammered, "General, you must be joking. This, this official came on the orders of His Majesty to come to Liangzhou."
"Oh?"
Xie Lige's expression was somewhat surprised. It seemed that he didn't expect to get an answer. He thought that this "what's the matter?"
"His Majesty's secret memorial is here." The eunuch took out a bright yellow memorial and handed it to Xie Lige.
Xie Lige raised his eyebrows and took the memorial. He looked at the eunuch trembling as he handed over the memorial and immediately stepped back.
