Liu Xun spoke, but none of the four aides dared to say more.

At this moment, everyone chose to stand in a row and no one wanted to cause too much trouble for themselves.

Knowing that there was no result, Liu Xun waved his hand: "You all retreat."

Everyone stood up and left.

When they left, they glared at each other with resentment, and the few of them had a grudge in their hearts.

Liu Xun knew that Cao Cao's arrival scared many people's courage.

At least three of the four aides present were inclined to surrender to Cao Cao, but two of them didn't say it.

When leaving the study, Liu Xun was in a very depressed mood.

Gaochishen in Shouchun City could not withstand Lu Bu's attack.

Lu Bu was besieged by Cao Cao in Xia Pi. If he hadn't reversed the world at the last moment, he would have probably been killed long ago.

The Huainan army could not even resist Lu Bu, so how could Lujiang compete with Cao Cao?

With full of thought, Liu Xun didn't even know how to return to the dormitory.

Seeing that he was depressed, Liu Xun's wife came up and asked, "Is there any trouble for you to be depressed? I wonder if I can share some of my burdens?"

"What can a woman share?" Liu Xun sighed: "Cao Cao led his troops to camp in Yijing and could come to Hefei at any time. I was thinking that Shouchun had many soldiers and horses and could not resist Lu Bu. How could he fight Cao Cao with Lujiang?"

"Do you plan to live and die with Lujiang?" The lady's eyes suddenly turned red: "If my husband has a few shortcomings, how can I survive with my children?"

The wife's crying made Liu Xun even more upset: "Women know how to cry all day long?"

Liu Xun's reprimand did not prompt the wife to stop crying.

She sobbed and said, "I just don't understand. My husband is obviously alive, but for some reason I have to choose a dead end!"

I was feeling irritated, but the wife woke Liu Xun up with just one word.

He looked at his wife in surprise: "Do you think I still have a way out?"

"It is said that Cao Mengde is tolerant. As long as his husband is willing to serve, he will never harm him." The wife said: "Following the general trend of the world, the Cao family has been at its peak recently, and even Lu Bu is not their opponent. Why should husband be enemies with him?"

Liu Xun didn't say anything, but what his wife said made him feel moved.

Judging from the current situation, investing in Cao Cao is indeed his only way out.

My mind was already moving, and Liu Xun was locking his eyebrows and weighing the decision. A maid came in outside: "General, someone is asking for a meeting outside the gate."

"Who?" As he was thinking about what to do, Liu Xun asked absent-mindedly.

"I am a merchant, and I said I came from the north." The maid replied.

"What's the only merchant?" Liu Xun waved his hand angrily: "Send him and let him leave!"

The maid did not retreat immediately, but said, "This person said that he has a way to relieve the general of Lujiang's trap."

Just as he was upset about this, someone came to visit and said he could help relieve the troubles of Lujiang. Liu Xun paused for a moment and ordered his maid: "Please invite him to the front hall."

It was Jia Xu who met Liu Xu.

He dressed in a merchant outfit and came to the front hall.

Liu Xun has arrived long ago.

Although Jia Xu is famous, Liu Xun has never seen him. However, from his behavior and demeanor, it can be seen that this person is definitely not an ordinary merchant.

Looking at Jia Xu, Liu Xun asked, "Who are you?"

"I am just a merchant, why do the general ask this?" Jia Xu smiled indifferently.

"I don't think you look like a merchant at all." Liu Xun stared at Jia Xu's face: "You have a very heavy murderous aura."

"In the chaotic times, who can not kill people in order to survive?" Jia Xu responded calmly: "If I don't kill people, I will be killed by others one day."

"After coming here, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?" Liu Xun's tone was colder than before.

"The general won't kill me." Jia Xu replied confidently.

Liu Xun was immediately puzzled: "Why do you say I won't kill you?"

"Kill me, the general will cut off his life." Jia Xu said: "Is the general willing to die with me?"

"What does it mean?" Liu Xun frowned.

"I can't understand what I mean." Jia Xu smiled: "The general should understand that judging from the current situation, if we don't find a way as soon as possible, once the Cao family's army is at the city, the general and the Lujiang army will definitely be killed by the rioters. There are only two ways to survive in front of the general. One is to repel the Cao family and protect the Lujiang River, and the other is to follow the Cao family to obtain the capital to settle down."

Jia Xu analyzed it well, and every sentence he said was indeed troubled by Liu Xun.

Liu Xun's eyes lit up and he immediately turned his tone: "Sir, do you have a way to defeat the enemy?"

"Defeat the Cao family?" Jia Xu asked.

"That's right." Liu Xun replied: "Sir, too, the only way to survive in front of me is to defeat the Cao family..."

"I'm talking about two methods. When the general's mouth is called, how did it become one?" Jia Xu asked: "Is it true that the general really intends to take the Lujiang Mountains and the others to die together?"

"What do you mean..." Liu Xun's face looked much ugly than before when he heard something from Jia Xu's words.

"I should understand what I mean." Jia Xu said: "The Yuan family in Huainan has declined and Yuan Shu is dead. I believe the general is very clear about whether Yuan Yao can revive Huainan with his ability."

"Although Your Majesty is young, he always has the day to become an adult." Liu Xun said: "The late emperor treats me well. Could it be that I will betray his descendants?"

"Last Emperor? Your Majesty?" Jia Xu asked with a smile: "The general mentioned the late emperor was Emperor Ling of the Eastern Han Dynasty and was against Yuan Gonglu? Is the emperor who is now in Xudu or Yuan Yao in Hefei?"

"What do you mean?" When Jia Xu asked, Liu Xun's face suddenly looked a little ugly.

"The world cannot be without a king for a day, but there can only be one emperor." Jia Xu replied: "The Han Dynasty is still here, who dares to be the emperor in the world? Let me ask the general, how many people agree with Yuan Shu and how many people agree with it?"

Liu Xun was speechless when asked by Jia Xu and didn't know how to answer.

Jia Xu continued, "All the kings under the world are kings, and all the kings are kings and ministers in the boundaries of the land are kings. Yuan Gonglu was grateful to the Emperor of Han, but he was rashly praised as emperor. He can be said to be a rebel. I have heard of General Zhongyi, may he also be a traitor with him?"

After all, Liu Xun followed Yuan Shu for many years. Jia Xu said in front of him that Yuan Shu was a traitor, and his face suddenly looked very ugly: "Sir, aren't you afraid that I will kill you before Lujiang is broken?"

"The general may think that killing me can show loyalty and righteousness." Jia Xu said: "But you didn't expect that who is Zhongyi for? For the sake of a traitor, I dare to ask how many people of the general's Zhongyi agree with? What is Zhongyi that is not recognized? "
