Chapter 182
Soon, outside Liu Yao's tent, there were loyal guards surrounding him, as solid as an iron barrel.
Dian Wei, the powerful general, held a pair of cold double halberds tightly in his hands, standing tall in the dark. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle, scanning the surroundings, and any movement could not escape his vigilance. The Luowang eyeliner hidden in the shadows was like a dense spider web, shutting out all possible prying eyes, ensuring the absolute privacy of this space.
Wang Yue led a man in a black robe directly into Liu Yao's tent.
"My lord, the person has been brought here!"
Liu Yao nodded slightly, his eyes were deep, as if he could see into people's hearts. He waved his hand gently, signaling Wang Yue to retreat to the tent entrance
Because what happened next must not be known by a third person!
The black-robed man slowly raised his hand, gently lifted the cloak covering his face, revealing his true face.
This man was handsome, with three long beards well preserved, and he looked like a fairy, but his eyes were too long and narrow, and the sharp light that flashed occasionally made people feel that he should not be underestimated.
Liu Yao kept looking at the man in front of him.
Is this Jia Xu, who is known as a poisonous scholar?
This is a founding hero of Cao Wei. He was originally a general of Dong Zhuo. After Dong Zhuo's death, he advised Li Jue and Guo Si to counterattack Chang'an. After Li Jue and others failed, he became Zhang Xiu's counselor. Zhang Xiu used his strategy to defeat Cao Cao twice. Before the Battle of Guandu, he persuaded Zhang Xiu to surrender to Cao Cao.
Moreover, Jia Xu's strategy was known for its viciousness. For example, he once offered advice to Li Jue, Guo Si and others to attack Chang'an, which led to chaos in Chang'an and the death of countless people. Although this strategy helped Li Jue and others achieve a temporary victory, it also accelerated the demise of the Han Dynasty and plunged the world into greater chaos.
And in history, this person has a very sharp vision. He can accurately judge the best course of action in complex political and military situations.
For example, under the crisis of the defeat of the Xiliang army, Jia Xu successfully escaped from the sea of suffering, led Zhang Xiu to defeat Cao Cao, and later surrendered to Cao Cao, and finally became one of Cao Cao's five counselors.
In addition, when Jia Xu was under Zhang Xiu's command, his choice of timing to suggest Zhang Xiu to deal with Cao Cao and surrender to Cao Cao also shows his sharp vision.
"Haha, this person in front of me, is it Jia Wenhe who is famous for his wisdom?" Liu Yao's tone was a bit playful, and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle.
Upon hearing this, Jia Xu raised a faint smile,
"Haha, the Champion Marquis is still as elegant as ever, he is truly a rare talent with extraordinary bearing."
However, Liu Yao was unmoved, and with a wave of his hand, an unquestionable momentum spread out, and he said directly:
"There is no need to beat around the bush between us!"
"My men's network has inadvertently captured an unusual clue in recent days - on the eve of the death of the little emperor, you visited him quietly, and even worse, you secretly sent people to investigate his daily diet. Is this true?"
After hearing this, Jia Xu's expression changed slightly, and he just nodded slightly. In that action, there was both tacit acceptance of the facts and a hint of indescribable deep meaning
"Since the Champion Marquis asked me so generously, I will tell you straight away."
"That's right, Liu Xie was indeed poisoned to death by me. I sent someone to poison his food box and killed him."
Liu Yao frowned.
"What do you want to do?"
Jia Xu raised a faint smile, which showed helplessness and determination.
"It is not my wish, but the situation forces me to do so. All I want is to protect myself." His words fell gently, but they were as cold as ice, which made people feel cold.
"The reputation of the Champion Marquis is known all over the world. He has many brave generals and wise men under his command. His momentum is unstoppable. Although the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is brave and unparalleled, they are just lambs to be slaughtered under your net."
"Moreover, strategic locations such as Chang'an and Wuguan have all fallen into the hands of your army. Lord Dong Zhuo is now surrounded by enemies and is in a desperate situation. Even if he tries his best to burn his boats, he is just making a last struggle for the glory that will eventually pass away."
"What does this have to do with you killing the little emperor!"
"The little emperor is in your hands. You can use this as a threat to withdraw the troops. It's easy!"
"But what will happen next?" Jia Xu's words were like a sharp blade in the cold wind, piercing people's hearts.
Liu Yao was slightly stunned.
"After that?"
Jia Xu continued: "After that, Dong Zhuo took the opportunity to escape back to Xiliang, and then continued to enjoy a life of luxury?"
"In a time of great contention! The strong will be strong! The weak will perish!"
"Even if Dong Zhuo returned to Xiliang, he would still be waiting for destruction. You will not let him go."Liu Yao's eyebrows were twisted into a deep wrinkle, his eyes were as sharp as a hawk, staring at the ruthless Jia Xu in front of him. "So you let Dong Zhuo go to hell in advance?" "What good will it do you to kill the little emperor and let Dong Zhuo be executed?" Jia Xu smiled: "Although this move is against the harmony of heaven and people, it will not hurt me, Jia Wenhe." "I, Jia Xu, have always been known for my ability to identify people and appoint them to positions. Now, the Marquis of Guanjun is full of heroic spirit, and his troops are strong. He will soon have the three states of Bingzhou, Yongzhou, and Xiliang. He will be even more powerful and unstoppable. Moreover, the Marquis is still young and has a bright future. He is a rare true dragon emperor in troubled times. "Therefore, I, Jia Wenhe, am willing to do my best and spare no cost to push you to the supreme throne, so that all the people in the world will bow down to you. This is my choice, Jia Xu, and the road to becoming an emperor that I have paved for you." "This game! I will personally start the game for you!" "Once the little emperor dies, the last heir of the Han Dynasty will be gone. As a relative of the Han Dynasty, you hold real power and have 200,000 soldiers under your command! In the future, you will fight Yuan Shao and control the north in one go!" "By that time, you will inherit the world of the Han Dynasty! It will be a matter of course!" When Jia Xu said this, his expression became more and more excited. Liu Yao sneered. "Haha, you can betray Dong Zhuo, but can't you betray me?" Jia Xu knelt on the ground very humbly. "Can't a jade-faced butcher control even a scholar? "
"Besides, when you saw the lord, your eyes told me the answer. We are all the same! Even if the little emperor doesn't die, you won't give up fighting for the world!"
Liu Yao immediately looked up to the sky and laughed:
"Hahahaha! Jia Xu! You are really a smart man! But! You will die today!"
