In the wide camp, Wang Yan and Guo Jia were cooking tea and chatting.

Guo Jia took a sip of tea and said slowly: "After the alliance, you killed Hua Xiong and retreated to Lu Bu, and all the soldiers in the army respected him. Now, your personal prestige has reached the peak, and even the strategies I planned for you do not need to be useful. At this point, I suggest you find an opportunity to leave."

After a pause, Guo Jia said again: "Through the observations over the past few days, I found that except for Sun Jian and Cao Cao, the other princes in the camp were either weak in power and unable to attack Dong Zhuo, or they were strong but just pretending. Even if they were defeated in a row, the princes of the Xiliang army were still afraid of Dong Zhuo. Furthermore, everyone has their own minds and plans for themselves, wanting to preserve their strength as much as possible. In this case, it is impossible to achieve too much effect, so please withdraw."

When Wang Yan heard this, his face became solemn and serious. The reason for participating in the attack on Dong Zhuo was that Wang Yan’s goal was very simple, which was to gain fame and fortune by attacking Dong Zhuo and lay the foundation for future development.

In just a few days, Wang Yan has gained a lot.

At least, the name of the world's number one military general has been firmly confirmed, making everyone dare not be disrespectful.

"Report"

Just at this moment, Shi's voice sounded outside the tent.

"Come in" Wang Yan said.

Shi A walked into the camp and reported respectfully: "Young Master, there is a middle-aged scholar asking for a visit at the entrance of the camp. He said he was your benefactor."

Wang Yan was immediately confused, who is his benefactor?

Could it be Xun Wei?

When Wang Yan first arrived in Langya, it was Xun Wei's selfless help that made Wang Yan successfully gain a foothold in Yangdu County. However, Xun Wei was already middle-aged, so it was unlikely that Xun Wei would be Xun Wei.

Or is it Yang Xu?

Because of Yang Xu, Wang Yan could go to Langya Kingdom to meet Xun Wei. In Wang Yan's heart, Yang Xu was also his benefactor.

There are other people in my mind.

After thinking about it, Wang Yan couldn't figure it out and ordered: "Please"

"promise"

Shi A nodded and went to pick someone up immediately.

After a while, Shi A walked in with a middle-aged scholar. When Wang Yan saw the visitor, he raised his eyebrows and was slightly surprised. The visitor was in his early forties, with sharp eyebrows and eyes, straight nose bridge, and thin lips, giving people a sharp feeling.

This person is not someone else, it is Jia Xu, who has a relationship with Wang Yan.

Wang Yan said in a deep voice: "Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe, as Dong Zhuo's assistant, dare to enter the coalition camp alone. Aren't you afraid of death?"

Jia Xu sat down in the tent and said helplessly: "Of course I'm afraid of death, but if I don't come, I will die because the Prime Minister is injured. So, I can only come at the risk of being killed. Besides, when the County Magistrate Wang left Luoyang, did I really think I didn't know what you did? I saved the County Magistrate Wang's life and repay kindness. I believe that the County Magistrate Wang would not kill me."

Wang Yan's face turned solemn and ordered: "Shi, guard at the entrance of the tent, no one is allowed to break in. If anyone comes to visit, I will say that I have important things to deal with and will not see the guests for the time being."

"clear"

Shi A nodded and turned around and exited the tent.

Wang Yan continued: "What's wrong with Mr. Wenhe coming to visit?"

Jia Xu said straight to the point: "The magistrate of Wang County killed Hua Xiong and retreated to Lu Bu, which shocked the Prime Minister. Today, I will be the lobbyist under the Prime Minister's order."

Guo Jia suddenly asked, "When did Dong Zhuo arrive at Hulao Pass?"

Jia Xu smiled and said, "After Hua Xiong was killed, the prime minister was furious and led the army to come in person. At the same time, Li Ru also came to Hulao Pass. Today, Hulao Pass has already gathered tens of thousands of Xiliang troops."

After hearing this, Guo Jia nodded to Wang Yan in a slight way and stopped talking. Just now, Guo Jia suggested that Wang Yan withdraw, and now Dong Zhuo sent someone to persuade him, which was the opportunity to get the benefits and leave.

Jia Xu continued: "The Prime Minister's request is very simple. Please ask the magistrate Wang to withdraw from the Allied Army. As a condition for the magistrate Wang to withdraw, the Prime Minister appointed the magistrate Wang as the prefect of a county."

"Which county?" Wang Yan asked directly.

"Donglai County" Jia Xu replied: "Donglai County is located in the east of Qingzhou, facing the sea in the east, and the heart of Qingzhou to the west. Once the magistrate of Wang County serves as the prefect of Donglai County, Lingzun will have no worries in Qingzhou."

As he spoke, Jia Xu took out a seal from his cuff and Wang Yan's appointment letter.

After hearing Jia Xu's words, Wang Yan was really moved.

On the one hand, it was the promotion of Wang Yan's official position; on the other hand, after Wang Yan and Wang Yun met, Wang Yan could help Wang Yun share his worries.

Seeing that Wang Yan did not answer, Jia Xu said again: "Mr. Wang is a smart person and will definitely be able to see the situation of this battle."

"Even though the coalition of princes was greatly shocked by the magistrate of the county magistrate, the coalition of princes did not have any advantage in the battlefield fighting. Especially the Xiliang army was born in a bitter and cold place and was not afraid of death. In addition, it was difficult for the coalition of princes to win if it was guarded by Hulao Pass. If you take a step back, you can retreat to Luoyang even if the Prime Minister is defeated. If you take a step back, the Prime Minister can retreat to Xiliang. Of course, this is the worst case."

"In fact, this battle cannot be the worst case."

"The princes' coalition forces are in charge of all places, not to mention their own plans and different thoughts. The prime minister only needs one order to re-appoint officials from the states and counties where these people are located, and the princes have to retreat in shame."

"For example, Gongsun Zan, the prefect of Beiping, had a stalemate with Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou. Once the prime minister reaps the prefect of Beiping, Gongsun Zan will soon retreat to Beiping; let alone the governor of Xuzhou Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, there are many families in Xuzhou, and many people are even more dissatisfied with Tao Qian. Once the prime minister reaps one person as governor of Xuzhou, Tao Qian will definitely retreat in a hurry."

"In addition, Yuan Shao served as the prefect of Bohai County. Although he was a subordinate of Han Fu, he was eyeing Jizhou. Once the Prime Minister dismissed Han Fu's official position and appointed Yuan Shao as the governor of Jizhou, what would happen?"

Jia Xu sneered twice and said disdainfully: "There are too many ways to defeat the coalition forces of the princes. The county magistrate Wang stayed in the coalition forces and could not get benefits. Since that is the case, why don't you agree to the Prime Minister?"

Wang Yan smiled and said, "Mr. Wenhe is really eloquent and his analysis is even more incisive. After Mr. Wenhe's words, I was moved. But I still have to say that Dong Zhuo may not agree with Mr. Wenhe's ideas and strategies. No matter how good the strategy is, it is not a good strategy if it cannot be implemented."

Jia Xu's expression became dark, but he instantly recovered and said with a smile: "So, did County Magistrate Wang agree?"

"I have another condition." Wang Yan said.

Jia Xu said: "What conditions?"

Wang Yan said: "I will write a letter and ask Mr. Wenhe to forward it to Dong Zhuo. As long as he agrees, I will agree to his request."

"Can"

Jia Xu nodded and waited quietly.

Wang Yan spread out a high-quality Zuo Bo paper and took the pen to write. In the blink of an eye, Wang Yan wrote down four words, then put them in the letter and sealed them before handing them to Jia Xu, "Mr. Wenhe, I look forward to your good news. As for the seal and appointment you brought, I will take them back temporarily. If Dong Zhuo agrees, I will bring them together when I come next time."

"Can"
