Xiahou An looked dull in response to this.

As if something expected.

It's like you duel with a man who looks particularly fierce. If you make a preliminary estimate, you feel that you have a 50% chance of winning, but at this time someone tells you that the man is named Lu Bu. When you hear this news, the original 50% chance of winning fell to the bottom and became less than 10%.

If you are afraid before fighting, your strength will naturally be greatly reduced.

When Xiahou An met Jia Xu, his mood was almost the same.

He didn't think he could play with Jia Xu, so he had been in a negative mood these days, and just wanted to leave immediately after Pu Tao and others.

As a result, before people could wait, Hangu Pass could no longer be able to defend it.

Xiahou An could not think of any way to fight back against the centrifugal strategy that Jia Xu used.

According to the current situation, it is estimated that Hangu Pass will be lost in another three or five days.

Therefore, another purpose of Xu Rong's visit was to hope that Xiahou An could leave here as soon as possible before the riot occurred and go to the risk.

The situation was critical, and Xiahou An certainly understood, but his wife and his subordinates had no news. This made him worried and didn't know what happened and whether there was a danger?

Moreover, if we leave now, according to the news of this era, I will see you next time, and I don’t know if I have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and Horse Month.

At this time, a fast horse galloped over outside Hangu Pass. The soldiers on the horse's back stopped the horse under the pass, then wiped the beads of sweat from the beans rolling on their foreheads and shouted to Guanlou: "Can Xiahoulang be in the pass?"

The soldiers guarding the pass asked questions as usual, and then ran to report.

Looking for mine?

Xiahou An was puzzled by this, wondering if Jia Xu wanted to be secretive. For example, under the guise of intelligence, he actually sent someone to assassinate or acted as an insider...

Faced with such a scheming old poison, Xiahou An could not think too much about it.

Now that Xu Chu is not around, he is really a little worried.

Before Xiahou An could make a decision, Wei Yue had already brought the people in.

Wei Yue said that this was a wolf cavalry scout sent by his lord Lu Bu, and he must have reported it to him.

Since it is Lu Bu's man, there should be no problem of assassination.

Xiahou An asked him, what happened to him?

The scout replied, saying that he had come to the lord's order and told Xiahou An that his family was now protected by Lu Bu toward Hedong, so that Xiahou An could rest assured. As for Dong Bai's affairs, Lu Bu also promised not to leak it out...

After listening to the scout's detailed report, Xiahou An put down a big rock in his heart, and secretly felt something was wrong. As he thought about it, he suddenly felt a green grassland on his head.

But then again, this is always good news.

Since my wife is protected by Lu Bu, it is meaningless to stay here...

Xiahou An is about to leave.

Before leaving, Xu Rong burned the granary of Hangu Pass with a big fire.

In this way, even if Zhang Ji occupied Hangu Pass afterwards, there was no food supply, it would be impossible to pursue the deep pursuit.

Seeing the ignited fire, Xiahou An couldn't help but shake his head.

It's a pity to have so much food.

Looking around the Central Plains, there are countless refugees who have escaped due to famine. Many people are gnawing on tree bark and chewing on tree roots. There are even more people who eat when they change their sons. Now he wants to burn all the hundreds of thousands of stone of grains stored here in a fire, which is really a sin!

But if it is not burned, Zhang Ji will have the capital to stick to and pursue.

After weighing the trade-offs, I have to do it.

Gradually, the fire became bigger.

After seeing this, the soldiers of Xiliang who were parading rushed to report to Zhang Ji, saying that a fire was lit in Hangu Pass and the city gate had been opened.

Zhang Ji was overjoyed when he learned about this and immediately ordered the siege. His nephew Zhang Xiu even led the army and rushed in.

From Zhang Ji to ordinary soldiers, everyone was cheering because Hangu Pass had become a treasure, but Jia Xu looked lonely and looked at Cheng Pass from afar and shook his head and sighed.

Zhang Ji doesn't understand, why is Jia Xu still unhappy with such a great thing...

So he asked, "Why did sir sigh?"

Jia Xu, standing alone, closed his eyes, raised his clothes slightly beside his legs, exhaling turbid air, as if he was a little tired, then opened his eyes, sighed, and said, "Our pursuit is over here..."

Zhang Ji, who was fantasizing about how to kidnap the emperor back, was stunned for a moment. Jia Xu's words were no less than pouring a basin of cold water on him who was in a state of excitement.

He looked at the "military advisor" who had never spoken wildly along the way, and asked unwillingly, "How can I see it?"

Zhang Ji broke the casserole, and Jia Xu said that he had speculated: Such a big flame must have been Xu Rong who rushed to jump over the wall and set fire to the granary. Once the granary was destroyed, our army would not be able to support it without food support. There are so many soldiers in the pass that we cannot afford...

Zhang Ji didn't listen to the following words. He was lucky in his consciousness, just shook his head, no, no, although you are smart, it is impossible for you to predict everything. Maybe this time, you guessed it wrong...

However, half an hour later, Zhang Xiu, who had put out the fire, sent a reply, saying that he had conquered the dangerous pass at a very small price. At the same time, the granary in the pass was burned and no grain was left for them.

Zhang Ji's heart was cold, and his face was as if he was lost, and he was furious. He wanted to catch Xu Rong, who was anxious to jump over the wall and tear him to pieces. However, he also knew that it would be too late to pursue him now. Xu Rong and others were quick and fast, and they had no scruples in their hearts. They had already run far away and could not catch up.

Without food, Hangu Pass will become a chicken rib. It is tasteless to eat, but it is a pity to throw it away.

All I have to ask Jia Xu.

"Sir, what will we do next?"

"The general really listens to me?"

Zhang Ji heard the implicit sound, and there seemed to be a way to do the meaning of this sentence, so he nodded firmly and said solemnly: "Mr. I, even if I go through fire and water, I will never refuse!"

Jia Xu was moved by it.

To be honest, Zhang Ji is not a wise ruler. He was born in a Liangman land and established himself as a killer, but he was able to follow his own words and trust him very much. This is a rare thing.

Jia Xu couldn't bear to break this friendship and planned it seriously for Zhang Ji: "The Central Plains are vast, but the situation is complex. There are many noble families and prominent families, and heroes are separating the country. The general has the bad deeds of breaking Chang'an and forcing Wang Yun to death. The Central Plains prefectures and counties may not be able to tolerate you..."

"In the Guanzhong area, Fan Chou is dead, and Li Jue and Guo Si form an alliance. Although they are birds of a feather, people's hearts are separated from their belly. Both of them are not good people, and they will sooner or later have a wolf smoke!"

"As for the Gentle Land, the general has no support and it is difficult for him to establish his roots..."

Jia Xu said a lot, but still did not point out the topic. Zhang Ji couldn't help but be anxious: "Then where should I go?"

"I am very stupid to believe that if you have eight characters to give it to the general."

When Zhang Ji heard this, he couldn't hide his anxiousness in his eyes and quickly bowed: "Sir, please teach me!"

Jia Xu slowly said: I will occupy Hongnong to see the world.

…………

After leaving Hangu Pass, in order to prevent Zhang Ji from chasing him, Xiahou An, Xu Rong and others all ran wildly until they crossed a hundred miles before they stopped for a while.

Looking back at Chang'an, there are mountains and mountains.

He suddenly remembered a poem by Mr. Jiaxuan: The clear river water under Yugu's platform, and the tears of travelers in the middle, looking northwest at Chang'an, pitiful to countless mountains.

When you come, when you go, you are also when you go.

When he set off again, Xiahou An looked back again, and the afterglow of the setting sun fell on his shoulders.

This glance made him freeze for a long time.

Dong Zhuo, Wang Yun, Qin Shao and others are appearing in various ways, passing through their minds one by one, saying, laughing, some people crying, some people laughing...

Xiahou An was stunned for a while, and it was not until Qin Muke came to call him that he came to his senses. Then he turned over and withdrew his gaze, looked forward and muttered softly in a voice that only he could hear.

Goodbye, Chang'an.
