Turning to face Ma Chao, Jia Xu opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything at the end, and his expression showed that he wanted to say something.

"What is Gong Cao waiting for?" Ma Chao, who was waiting for Jia Xu to speak, saw a look of embarrassment on Jia Xu's face, as if there was something unspeakable, he couldn't help but become anxious, and said to Jia Xu: "If Zhonglang can't rest assured about the last general, the last general swears here, no matter what Zhonglang says, the last general will never spread it." If it was a rumor, he cut off his head and apologized to Zhonglang! ”

As he spoke, Ma Chao clenched his fists, turned his face sideways, and arched his hand towards Jia Xu again. Although he tried his best, he still couldn't hide the anxiety in his expression.

Ma Chao said this, Jia Xu took two steps forward and walked to Ma Chao's side, looking left and right with a little hesitation on his face.

Outside the pavilion, only a few Luoyang soldiers who were responsible for protecting Jia Xu stood as straight as sculptures, except for these Luoyang soldiers, there was no one else nearby, Jia Xu's actions couldn't help but look a little contrived.

But Ma Chao, who was anxious in his heart, just wanted to know what Cao Cao was waiting for at the moment, where would he find such a small flaw! He just turned his head anxiously to look at Jia Xu standing beside him, quietly waiting for Jia Xu to continue.

Gently tugging at Ma Chao's sleeve, Jia Xu put his lips to his ear and whispered to him: "Gong Cao is waiting for the rout of Ma's army!" ”

"Huh?" Hearing Jia Xu's words, Ma Chao was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened, he turned his head to look at Jia Xu, and said with a little doubt in his expression: "This matter is very important, Zhonglang must not talk nonsense!" ”

"If the general doesn't believe it, then that's it!" From Ma Chao's words, he heard a little half-belief, Jia Xu smiled slightly, stepped aside and stood aside, waved his hand, and said to Ma Chao: "The general is only joking, don't take it to heart!" ”

The more Jia Xu is like this, the more associations Ma Chao has in his mind. Thinking of Cao Cao's behavior in the past few days and his attitude towards him, Ma Chao's brows furrowed tightly, and he was silent for a moment before lowering his voice and asking Jia Xu: "I don't know why Zhonglang judged that Cao Gong had his thoughts?" ”

"Although the king of Luoyang was once the lord of the world, he was abolished by Dong thieves after all, such as the lord of today is in Chang'an!" Standing beside Ma Chao, Jia Xu had a helpless smile on his face, and said to Ma Chao: "Li Dao and Guo Yan occupy Chang'an and coerce His Majesty. The general and Ling Zun were full of loyalty, intending to relieve His Majesty from hanging upside down. But Cao Gong had to think about it more, if the father and son intended to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, Cao Gong rashly sent troops, even if he defeated Li Dao and Guo Yan, it was just to send His Majesty to the hands of others, wouldn't he become a sinner through the ages? ”

"Heaven can see it!" Jia Xu said these words without subtlety, Ma Chao's eyes widened in shock, and he hurriedly hugged his fists and bowed, and said to Jia Xu in a panicked tone: "The last general father and son are bent on breaking the traitor and saving His Majesty from fire and water, and he definitely doesn't dare to have half of the intention of trespassing!" ”

"The heart of a general, something knows it!" Holding Ma Chao's wrist with both hands and holding him up, Jia Xu sighed lightly and said to Ma Chao: "But Cao Gong has made up his mind, even if he goes to lobby, I'm afraid it won't be in his ears." For the sake of today, maybe ......"

"What should the father and son do?" Jia Xu stopped talking halfway through his words, and Ma Chao, who was listening to him, hurriedly asked him: "Please Zhonglang make it clear!" ”

The reason why Ma Chao asked Jia Xu for advice on the solution was that he knew that Jia Xu had made suggestions in front of Dong Zhuo's account, and he was not inferior to Cao Cao's ministers.

stared at Ma Chao without blinking, and after a while, Jia Xu smiled bitterly and said to Ma Chao: "There is no other way, for today's plan, only to respect the father and son to retreat!" ”

Jia Xu said that he wanted them to withdraw from the army, Ma Chao was unwilling in his heart, but the current situation was not as good as others, if Cao Cao insisted on not sending troops, the soldiers and horses of the Xiliang Ma clan would probably all be buried under Chang'an City.

"Where are you going?" With a heavy unwillingness on his face, Ma Chao said to Jia Xu: "Return to Xiliang, abandon Your Majesty, seeing that the Holy Lord is controlled by thieves today, how will the father and son face Your Majesty in the future?" ”

"Qi Yu Zhonglang, Cheng Yu asks to see you!" Jia Xu was about to answer Ma Chao's question, when a soldier of the Luoyang Army ran to the pavilion, hugged his fists and bowed to Jia Xu.

Cheng Yu is Cao Cao occupied Yanzhou, before becoming the pastor of Yanzhou, he was thrown under Cao Cao, after the death of Xi Zhicai, there was no one in front of Cao Cao's account, and Cheng Yu was specially transferred from Shouzhang to Puyang, and most of the affairs in the army were controlled by Cheng Yu. In Yanzhou, Cheng Yu's status has increased day by day.

Knowing that Cheng Yu was visiting, Jia Xu and Ma Chao glanced at each other, glanced at Ma Chao, and said to Ma Chao: "The general will avoid it for the time being, and when he sees Cheng Yu, he will talk to the general again!" ”

"The last general will retire first!" Knowing that Cheng Yu came to look for Jia Xu, there must be something important to discuss with Jia Xu, maybe the matter is also related to Cao Cao's dispatch to Chang'an, Ma Chao hurriedly hugged his fist to Jia Xu and said goodbye, ran down the pavilion quickly, and walked towards a row of empty rooms in the back garden under the guidance of a Luoyang soldier.

"Please come and meet Cheng County!" When Ma Chao walked away, Jia Xu gave an order to the soldiers standing outside the pavilion.

The soldier answered, turned and ran to the outer courtyard, while Jia Xu sat down behind the low table and continued to play his game of Go.

After a while, Cheng Yu, who was dressed in a crimson brocade suit, entered the back garden under the guidance of the soldier and walked straight towards the pavilion.

Hearing footsteps in the distance, Jia Xu turned his head to look out of the pavilion, and when he saw Cheng Yu walking towards the pavilion, he hurriedly stood up, got off the pavilion, and greeted Cheng Yu.

"Shou Zhang Ling came in person, I missed the distance, please forgive me!" When Cheng Yu approached, Jia Xu hugged his fist, arched towards Cheng Yu, with a smile on his face, and said to Cheng Yu: "I just don't know what happened when Shou Zhang Ling came here?" ”

Jia Xu saluted first, Cheng Yu hurriedly bowed in return, and after getting up, he still maintained a fist-hugging posture, and said to Jia Xu: "Zhonglang has been in Puyang for a few days, and Shangguan came here, and he should have visited him as a subordinate." It's just that there are a lot of mundane things at the moment, and I haven't found time until today......"

As he spoke, Cheng Yu suddenly stopped talking, glanced around with a pair of eyes, and looked straight at the soldiers of the Luoyang Army not far away, but he didn't continue.

"Shou Zhang Ling and enter the pavilion to speak!" Seeing Cheng Yu's eyes glancing around, Jia Xu knew that he had something to say, so he stepped aside and stood aside, made a gesture of invitation to greet Cheng Yu, and then said to the soldiers who led Cheng Yu to the back garden: "Prepare for a wine banquet, Ben Zhonglang and Shou Zhang Ling have a few drinks today!" ”

Jia Xu asked the soldier to prepare a banquet, but Cheng Yu did not stop him, and also made a gesture to Jia Xu and said, "Zhonglang, please!" ”

In Puyang City, Jia Xu met Cheng Yu at the same time. Far away on the streets of Dangcheng in Youzhou, five or six dragoon guards were running fast, and while running, the dragoons who rushed to the front shouted loudly: "Stand still!" If I don't stand still, I'll have to release the arrows! ”

More than ten steps in front of these dragoon guards, a man in a light blue dark coat was running with his head down.

The man's dark clothes were very old, the light blue clothes had been washed and turned white, and there were a few patches on the clothes. This man's dress is no different from the people in the city.

If it weren't for the fact that his body was much burder and muscular than ordinary people, it would not have been easy to get into the crowd and find him.

The dragoons who were chasing him shouted loudly, and the man in blue not only did not stop, but increased his speed and ran forward desperately.

It is no wonder that the man did not dare to stop, with what he committed, if he was caught by the group of dragoons behind him, even if he was not killed on the spot, he would probably be thrown into the prison after suffering a lot. Once he is in prison, I am afraid that he will never have a chance to see the light of day again in this life!

Originally, there were still some people walking back and forth on the street to make some living, and the dragoons chased the man along the street, and the people on the road saw this, for fear of getting into trouble, and they all flashed to the side of the road, and many of them even hid in the shops on the side of the street.

The people flashed to the side of the road, and one by one they stretched out their heads to look at the back of the man who was being chased by the dragoon guards, and pointed at what they didn't know what they were saying. They stepped aside, but invisibly made the man have nothing to hide in the empty street, and could only run desperately at an accelerated pace.

A few dragoons who had chased the man for two streets were also impatient at this time. The leading dragoon guard took off his crossbow from his back as he ran, and as he ran, put an arrow on the string.

Just as the dragoon guard raised his crossbow and was about to shoot it at the man's leg, a figure suddenly jumped out from the side of the street in front of the man who was running wildly.

The figure jumped into the middle of the street, just blocking the way of the man in blue.

The man in blue, who was running wildly, saw a person suddenly appear in front of him, hurriedly twisted his body, changed his running path slightly, and jumped past the man.

Just as he was about to cross the shoulders with the man, the man in front of him suddenly stretched out a leg and tripped over him.

I didn't expect that person to suddenly shoot at him, the man in blue was unguarded, and the leg that was stepping forward happened to be tripped up.

Tripped, the man in blue staggered forward a few steps, just when he almost fell, stumbled forward a few steps, barely relying on his strong balance ability, and was about to stabilize his body, the person who had tripped him just now suddenly jumped at him from behind, raised his foot and kicked his lower back.

This kick was not very strong, but it happened to be kicked on the man's waist, and the man in blue who was just about to stabilize his body, under the effect of this kick, suddenly jumped forward, lost his balance, and fell to the ground.

The Luoyang Army did not make any special moves in the city, so the people of the city did not support the Luoyang Army as much as the people in Liu Wei's territory.

Several dragoons chasing the man in blue didn't expect that a person would suddenly pop up on the street and help them stop the man in blue.

The man in blue had been thrown to the ground, and several dragoons did not have time to think about it, and jumped up, one of them rushed behind the man in blue, and knelt down on the back of the man in blue, and at the same time that the man in blue let out a muffled snort, the dragoon guard twisted his arms and twisted his back.

As soon as the dragoon guard controlled the man in blue, the other two dragoon guards immediately stepped forward and twisted the man in blue together.

The leading dragoon guard watched his companion twist the man in blue, turned his face, and was about to thank the man who had helped, only to find that the man had long since disappeared.
