Chapter 697: Lü Bu Comes to Surrender

When the 19 princes met to attack Dong Zhuo and Lu Cheng personally led his troops to pursue Dong Zhuo, he specially sent the Flying Eagle Guard to look for information about Jia Xu in order to kidnap Jia Xu in advance.

However, Jia Xu was too cunning, and the Flying Eagle Guards were unable to find him at that time, and they did not see any trace of Jia Xu during the pursuit.

After Hua Xiong surrendered, Lu Cheng specifically asked Hua Xiong about Jia Xu's appearance. Based on Hua Xiong's description, he used his superb painting skills to replicate Jia Xu's appearance and asked the people of the Flying Eagle Guard to remember it carefully.

Now, the Western Liang army is wreaking havoc in Chang'an, and the Flying Eagle Guards hiding in the city of Chang'an have finally found some traces of Jia Xu.

"My lord, we have found out that after Li Que and Guo Si killed Wang Yun, they tried to kill the emperor directly. Fortunately, Zhang Ji and Fan Chou came out to dissuade them. Later, our people found out that Jia Xu was hiding in Zhang Ji's mansion. It was he who gave Zhang Ji advice, telling him not to kill the emperor, but to control him."

"Now that you have found out, keep a close eye on him. As soon as you get a chance, tie up Jia Xu and send him back."

"Yes, I will go and pass on the order right away."

At the same time, in a bedroom in Zhang Ji's mansion in Chang'an City, Jia Xu, who was sitting in front of a small table reading a book, suddenly shuddered and had a bad feeling. He couldn't help muttering to himself: "Zhang Ji, Fan Chou, Li Que, Guo Si and others are not wise leaders. Although they can be powerful for a while, it will not last long. It is better to make plans early and get out as soon as possible. Fortunately, Zhang Ji is obedient..."

After talking to himself for a while, Jia Xu called out to an old butler who had been following him all the time, "Have you prepared the money and seal for the trip that I asked you to prepare?"

"Master, these have been prepared long ago."

"Let someone buy a small courtyard in the west of the city near the city gate, and we'll move there in a few days."

"Yes."

After the housekeeper left, Jia Xu was still a little worried, so he stood up and went to the main hall, found Zhang Ji who was drinking, and asked, "My lord, is there any news about the princes in the east recently?"

"Yes, I just received news that General Lu Cheng, the General in Charge of the Northern Expedition, has sent troops to attack Chang'an. Li Que, Guo Si and I are also worried about this and want to ask the military advisor for advice."

When he heard the name Lu Cheng, Jia Xu couldn't help but frowned.

He had collected a lot of information about the various princes in the world, and he also had some understanding of their personalities. But he could never see through Lu Cheng.

For Jia Xu, any uncertain factors must be avoided in advance. He must never put himself in danger and always put his own protection first.

"General Zhang, although Chang'an City is nice, it is not a place to stay for long. It is better to leave as soon as possible and return to Xiliang."

Zhang Ji was appointed General of Cavalry and Marquis of Pingyang at this time. He was full of vigor and vitality, and he was unwilling to listen to Jia Xu's advice: "Military Advisor, there are many strategic passes in Guanzhong. Even if Lu Cheng leads hundreds of thousands of troops, it will be difficult to break through. What's more, don't I have a military advisor to give me advice? Why should I be afraid of Lu Cheng?"

When Jia Xu saw that Zhang Ji was drunk and did not take Lu Cheng seriously at all in his words, he knew that this man was just like Prime Minister Dong, who was blinded by power and wealth and had lost his mind, so he would be difficult to persuade.

For those who cannot be persuaded, Jia Xu will never say a word more, so as not to upset the other party and bring trouble to himself.

Even though Zhang Ji had obeyed his orders before, Jia Xu would not completely trust him.

After chatting for a while, Jia Xu returned to his room and began to think about when to leave Chang'an, return to his hometown, or find a place to hide.

Little did he know that at this moment, there was a pair of eyes staring at him in the dark.

Soon, a message spread: "Jia Xu's exact location has been found."

Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun led 50,000 soldiers and horses to clear the way, while Lu Cheng led 30,000 soldiers and horses, carrying sufficient food and supplies, to Guanzhong.

Li Jue, Guo Si and others had caused a terrible cholera outbreak in Chang'an. The people of Chang'an had suffered repeated looting, and every household had no surplus food. Every household was starving. It was a time when people were short of food and clothing and were starving.

After taking Chang'an, the many people in the city had to support themselves.

With tens or even millions of people, the amount of food needed is also a huge number.

Moreover, some of the grain will be lost during transportation, which requires more grain to be prepared in advance.

Therefore, Lu Cheng also asked the business companies headed by the Zhen family to mobilize their forces, organize caravans, and transport grain to Guanzhong.

Just as Lu Cheng was leading his troops to Guanzhong, he received news from Zhao Yun in the front that after Lu Bu escaped from Chang'an City, he wandered around with the remaining Bingzhou Wolf Riders and lived a very miserable life.

After encountering the troops led by Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun, Lu Bu actually took the initiative to request to surrender.

Considering that Lu Bu's Fang Tian Hua Ji had killed his former master twice, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong did not dare to accept Lu Bu easily, so they sent someone to quickly send a message to Lu Cheng.

After receiving the news, Lu Cheng thought about it for a moment and decided to meet Lu Bu.

Others might be afraid of Lu Bu's betrayal, but Lu Cheng was not afraid. Not to mention Lu Cheng himself, Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei and other generals were all as powerful as Lu Bu.

Moreover, if Lu Bu uses this weapon well, it can be an extremely sharp knife.

Moreover, Lu Bu also had Gao Shun under his command, who was also an extremely outstanding general.

The next afternoon, Lu Cheng met Lu Bu and others.

The current Lu Bu is much worse than when he fought against the princes of Guandong at Hulao Pass.

At that time, Lu Bu was still full of vigor and vitality. He was not afraid of the 19 princes from Guandong. Even after being defeated by Huang Zhong and Xu Chu, he did not lose his pride.

Until he met Lu Cheng, his proud strength was easily defeated by Lu Cheng, his self-confidence was directly shattered, and he doubted himself for a while.

After that, he returned to Chang'an, but was successively suppressed by Dong Zhuo, plotted against by Wang Yun, and defeated by Li Que and Guo Si. Now he has escaped from Chang'an with only less than a thousand Bingzhou Wolf Riders left under his command, and can only rely on looting for a living. How miserable is he?

When seeing Lu Cheng again, Lu Bu felt very complicated.

If it weren't for Huang Zhong and Xu Chu under Lu Cheng's command, perhaps Lu Bu could have become famous in the battle at Hulao Pass and become a world-famous figure.

If Lu Cheng had not pursued Dong Zhuo all the way, he would not have suffered repeated defeats and been scolded by Dong Zhuo.

Originally, Lu Bu should have hated Lu Cheng, but after seeing Lu Cheng again, he didn't know how to speak, and finally could only bow and say: "Lu Bu greets the general!"

"General Lu, please stand up. You used to be so powerful outside the Great Wall, and you protected the people of Bingzhou. Now you have fallen to this state. How do you feel?"

"Bu has been drifting for half his life, like duckweed in the water, just because he has not met a wise master. If you don't abandon me..."
