Chapter 311: Receiving Jia Xu
"There is no greater virtue than General Zhang's ability to find his way back. Get up." Liu Yu said condescendingly on his horse.
A winner naturally has the attitude of a winner. Even if Zhang Xiu doesn't surrender, Liu Yu is sure to defeat him, it just takes more effort. However, Zhang Xiu can surrender, which still saves Liu Yu a lot of trouble.
"Sinner, thank you, Your Majesty. Here are the seals of the Wancheng Prefect, the household registration list, the treasury account books, etc. Please take a look at them." Zhang Xiu handed the relevant information and seals to Liu Yu.
"Let's go, enter Wancheng!" Liu Yu glanced at it, threw it directly to Chen Gong, and then entered Wancheng arrogantly.
The urban construction of Wancheng is not as good as the city under Liu Yuling. After all, it was rebuilt by Jia Xu according to the military base. It lacks many traces of people's life, but it is a good military fortress.
After taking a few glances, Liu Yu planned to use Wancheng as a military base for going south or confronting Cao Cao.
The group soon arrived at the Wancheng Prefect's Mansion.
In the prefect's mansion, Liu Yu sat down with a golden sword, while Zhang Xiu and his men sat down at the bottom. Lu Bu and others sat opposite Zhang Xiu, looking at the surrendered former Dong Zhuo general with amusement.
"General Zhang, where is Jia Wenhe now? It was he who taught you to surrender this time," Liu Yu asked.
Zhang Xiu's heart skipped a beat, Liu Yu actually knew about Jia Xu! He had an ominous premonition.
Jia Xu also looked at Liu Yu in disbelief. He didn't expect Liu Yu to guess that he was the one who asked Zhang Xiu to surrender.
"Jia Xu, Jia Wenhe, pay homage to His Royal Highness King Zhao." Since Liu Yu asked, Jia Xu had to step out.
Liu Yu looked at the ordinary-looking middle-aged man in front of him, but he didn't expect it to be Jia Xu, and said: "Sir, you are indeed very charming. Many years ago, I entered Guanzhong, and you caused a lot of trouble for me. Today, I
Finally met Mr. Haha."
"Your Majesty, you are joking. A villain's little tricks cannot be brought to the forefront. Everyone was their own master back then. Please forgive me, Your Majesty." Jia Xu said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone.
"Sir, you are indeed eloquent. I am very thirsty for talents. I wonder if you can come here to advise me. If you are not willing, I will not force you." Liu Yu smiled slightly.
Jushou despised Liu Yu. He would not force anything! Liu Yu also said the same thing in Jizhou back then. In the end, Jushou and Tian Feng were not kidnapped. If Jushou and Tianfeng had not agreed to Liu Yu in the end, they would have been killed.
He was put under house arrest by Liu Yu for the rest of his life.
Jushou thought that if Jia Xu didn't agree, it would definitely end badly.
Zhang Xiu made a sad face, Liu Yu was trying to take advantage of the cauldron. Without Jia Xu's advice, no matter how hard he tried, it would be in vain.
Jia Xu saw a hint of evil in Liu Yu's eyes. It seemed that Liu Yu was not as upright as he appeared on the surface. Jia Xu smiled. Such a master might be his best choice.
"It's rare that the prince values me being respectful rather than obeying orders." Jia Xu said very cheerfully.
Liu Yu was very satisfied with Jia Xu's attitude. This person knew how to watch people's behavior and understand current affairs, and he also knew how to protect himself. It seemed that Jia Xu could not escape Liu Yu's grasp.
"Okay, I am very lucky to have Wen He help me!" Liu Yu nodded.
"Greetings to my lord!" Jia Xu simply knelt down and bowed his head.
Looking at this, Zhang Xiu felt as if he had eaten coptis. And Zhang Xiu's subordinates did not expect that Jia Xu would abandon Zhang Xiu so simply.
Liu Yu knew that doing so would embarrass Zhang Xiu. But he knew Jia Xu's ability well. If he didn't recruit Jia Xu now, who knew whether Jia Xu would start causing trouble tonight, so Liu Yu had better take care of him in advance.
Let’s get rid of this evil.
Jia Xu happily sat down where Chen Gong and Jushou were, and nodded to Chen Gong and Jushou.
Chen Gong and Jushu responded with smiles, expressing their goodwill and welcoming the arrival of this new companion. Smart people don't need too many words, they can understand each other's meaning with just a few simple actions.
After Liu Yu poached Jia Xu, he said to Zhang Xiu: "General Zhang, I have a difficult task for you. I wonder if you are willing, General Zhang."
"But I will listen to the prince's orders." Zhang Xiu's face was expressionless. Jia Xu had been poached. Without the help of advisers, he had no intention of making a comeback.
"Okay. I plan to build Wancheng into a huge military fortress. I hope that General Zhang can continue to serve as the guard of Wancheng. General Zhang is familiar with various situations in Wancheng, and there is no one more suitable than you.
." Liu Yu said his plan.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhang Xiu was extremely happy. He originally thought that Liu Yu would be transferred to Luoyang and given a casual job, but now he actually handed Wancheng back to him.
"It's just that my requirements for Wancheng are very high, so General Zhang, your task is very heavy." Liu Yu changed the topic and put forward some conditions.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, Wancheng will eventually be built like an iron barrel." Zhang Xiu was very confident.
Liu Yu was very satisfied with Zhang Xiu's confidence and reminded: "The location of Wancheng is very important. Cao Cao and Liu Biao will not let this place go easily. I will send an assistant to you when the time comes so that you can better defend Wancheng.
."
Of course Zhang Xiu would not object. Anyone else would choose to plant a nail in Zhang Xiu's place to prevent Zhang Xiu from rebelling. If Liu Yu didn't do this, Zhang Xiu still couldn't really believe that Liu Yu would trust him. People are just bad.
As for Zhang Xiu's subordinates, Liu Yu simply left them to Zhang Xiu to deal with. He remembered that Zhang Xiu had no famous generals or subordinates, so Liu Yu was too lazy to waste time and thought.
Zhang Xiu held a grand banquet for Liu Yu.
During the banquet, Zhao Yun asked Zhang Xiu where he learned his martial arts. Zhang Xiu didn't know what he meant and honestly told him his master's name.
Zhang Xiu was indeed the second senior brother Zhao Yun had heard about from his master before.
The two were brothers in the same discipline, and they started chatting freely.
Lu Bu and other generals also learned that Zhang Xiu and Zhao Yun were brothers, so they drank wine with Zhang Xiu and Zhao Yun in various places. Whether it was a reunion after a long separation or brotherly love, they would use all the excuses they could find to drink wine.
Zhao Yun and Zhang Xiu both drank too much in the end. If Liu Yu hadn't organized Lu Bu and the others in time, Zhang Xiu and Zhao Yun would have passed out drunk.
Ju Shou, Chen Gong and Jia Xu hid in a small corner and discussed continuously.
Ju Shou and Chen Gong looked at Jia Xu with admiration. Jia Xu's talent and learning were recognized by them. No wonder Liu Yu always reminded them to pay attention before.
Jia Xu also had a better understanding of Liu Yu's group of advisers. Jia Xu thought that there was a reason why Liu Yu had such achievements. Jia Xu tried to find out more about Liu Yu from Ju Shou and Chen Gong.
