All Realms Landing

Chapter 295
Tang Xiu's cheap father-in-law, Wang Yun, sent his friend Chen Gong to persuade Lu Bu to vote.

Tang Xiu still knew about Chen Gong, and he was also a top strategist in the late Han Dynasty. Compared with Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and others, he was only one step behind, not losing to Li Ru who was beheaded by him.

Historically, Chen Gong was the chief counselor under Lv Bu's tent. He was upright and resourceful. When he was young, he made friends with well-known people in China.

Chen Gong in history was the first to appear on the stage as Cao Cao's counselor, and was regarded by Cao Cao as his confidant.But after that, because Cao Cao killed Bian Rang and other famous scholars in the late Han Dynasty, he turned against Cao Cao, and lobbied Zhang Miao to betray Cao Cao and welcome Lu Bu to Yanzhou.

Chen Gong then assisted Lu Bu, attacked Cao Cao, and successively captured Yanzhou and Xuzhou.In Xiapi City, Lu Bu refused to listen to Chen Gong's plan to complement each other, so he failed.After Lu Bu's defeat, he was captured by Cao Cao along with Lu Bu and others, and decided to die.

This is a top strategist who assisted Lu Bu in defeating Cao Cao in history. If Lu Bu hadn't accepted his faithful advice and insisted on going his own way, the outcome would be uncertain.It can't be said that Cao Cao and Cao Mengde have to fall into the hands of Chen Gong.

When Chen Gong was young, he made friends with well-known people in the country, and was also a close friend with Tang Xiu's cheap father-in-law Wang Yun.

It was a great surprise for Tang Xiu to be invited out of the mountain by Wang Yun and sent to persuade Lu Bu to submit to the imperial court.

Tang Xiu still believed in Chen Gong's ability. At that time, [-] Xiliang troops led by Lu Bu would return to the imperial court, and there would be another talented person like Chen Gong who could be used to great advantage.

It is a great help for the Han court and his mission of helping the Han Dynasty!
Sure enough, not long after, there was good news that Chen Gong had successfully lobbied Lu Bu.

Lu Bu returned to the imperial court and was appointed as the second-rank general of the guard, ranking higher than the third prince.

On the same level as Hussar General Zhang Liao and Chariot General Hua Xiong, second only to Tang Xiu.

Lu Bu did not lead his army back to the imperial court, but obeyed the imperial edict and led his army to attack Chang'an, with the assistance of Chen Gong.

And Tang Xiu also raised [-] Bingzhou troops, and Zhang Ji and Fan Chou's [-] troops were in charge of logistics. A total of [-] troops marched into Hangu Pass.

There is no suspense in this battle.

No matter how resourceful Jia Xu was, he was helpless in the face of the two armies of Tang Xiu and Lu Bu.

Hangu Pass and Chang'an City fell one after another, Niu Fu was defeated and killed, Jia Xu was transferred to Zhang Ji's command, and was recommended to Tang Xiu.

Jia Xu, Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu's uncles and nephews all worked under Dong Zhuo's command, so they had a good relationship.

Even if Zhang Xiu and Liu Guanzhang led the army before, and Zhang Ji and Fan Chou were in charge of logistics, they were all defeated by Jia Xu's design, but they had different positions and each was their master.

Now that Jia Xu came to vote, Zhang Ji naturally would not refuse, and recommended him to General Tang Xiu.

For Jia Xu, a top strategist, Tang Xiu also loves and hates him.

Naturally, having such a top strategist would be of great use.Naturally, he hated it because of Jia Xu's plan to defeat Zhang Xiu and Liu Guanzhang's army, causing him to lose [-] soldiers and horses, and they were all Xiliang's elite.

Tang Xiu finally realized some of the emotions of Cao Cao and Cao Mengde in history.

Cao Cao in history fought against Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu used Jia Xu's strategy to defeat Cao Cao twice.After the Battle of Guandu, Jia Xu persuaded Zhang Xiu to surrender to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was defeated twice by Jia Xu's strategy, and he also loved and hated Jia Xu.Later, after getting the assistance of Jia Xu, he also used Jia Xu's strategy to disintegrate the forces of Ma Chao and Han Sui, and pacified Guanzhong in one fell swoop.

Chang'an City.

Tang Xiu's temporary general's mansion, the meeting hall.

"Mr. Wenhe, please." Even Tang Xiu, the great general, also treated Jia Xu, Jia Wen, and this top counselor with courtesy, and went out to greet him in person.

Jia Xu is tall and slender, dressed as a scholar, her appearance is not very outstanding, at first glance she looks like an ordinary middle-aged scholar.However, the middle-aged scribes in this year have been famous for thousands of years, and they designed and defeated Zhang Xiu, Liu Guanzhang and others before.

"Xu has seen the great general." Jia Xu bowed to Tang Xiu, and at the same time secretly looked at the current great general.

Seeing that Tang Xiu was really as young as in the legend, Jia Xu was also a little surprised. How could it not be surprising that he could make such a great achievement at such a young age?

"Mr. Wen He, please sit down." Tang Xiu smiled slightly, helped Jia Xu up, took Jia Xu's hand very enthusiastically, and walked into the hall.

Jia Xu naturally also felt Tang Xiu's enthusiasm, it was nothing more than expressing his sincere intention to solicit, and from his point of view, Tang Xiu was also a lord worthy of refuge.

Judging from Tang Xiu's current achievements, whether he really wants to help the big man or has other ambitions, he is at the height of his power, and he is the biggest force in the world.

Most importantly, Tang Xiu is capable and young!Much better than the Dong Zhuo he assisted before!

In the hall, Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Zhang Ji, Fan Chou and other generals, as well as Chen Gong, a civil servant and adviser, all had complicated expressions when they saw Tang Xiu so enthusiastically recruiting Jia Xu.

After all, the 11 troops that Tang Xiu had sent before were defeated by Jia Xu's design, losing more than half.

Now, Tang Xiu, a great general, seems to have no grievances, and his enthusiasm for Jia Xu is very heartbreaking.

Even Lu Bu was ashamed of himself. He said that if it were him, he would never be able to treat Jia Xu like this.

After Tang Xiu ushered Jia Xu into his seat, he returned to the main seat and sat down. He glanced around at everyone and said with a smile, "This is a great victory, and Chang'an was settled in one fell swoop. You all have made outstanding contributions. When you return to the court in the future, you will definitely be rewarded!"

"Thank you, General!" Everyone said in unison.

Tang Xiu nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Now that Mr. Gongtai and Mr. Wenhe are helping each other, why worry about being a big man?"

"The general praised you."

Chen Gong and Jia Xu expressed modesty at the same time.

What Tang Xiu said was also true, the recovery of Chang'an and Hangu Pass this time was originally in his plan.And Chen Gong and Jia Xu are the biggest gains.

If it is said that he felt that the generals under his command were not enough, but with the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang, and after Lu Bu returned to the court, there are Guan Hai and Gao Shun from Xuzhou, and Tai Shici from Beihai, etc., it is already considered good.

Once there is a war, there is also a general who can be called at will.

But regarding counselors, Tang Xiu was blank. Even Li Ru, the former top counselor, was unable to surrender because of his position, so he had to be killed.

Now, Chen Gong and Jia Xu, two top counselors, were obtained at once.

And these two top strategists, he also has his own merits.

For Jia Xu, Tang Xiu and Dong Zhuo did the same thing, that is to let Jia Xu stay in Chang'an temporarily and take charge of the affairs in Chang'an area.

Tang Xiu also ordered Zhang Liao to lead the [-] Bingzhou Army, and stayed behind to govern Chang'an with Jia Xu.

After Chang'an was stabilized, Tang Xiu could rest assured to calm the princes of the world and complete the task of revitalizing the great Han.
