The Reincarnation of Lu Bu at the End of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 431
It was nearly three o'clock when the banquet was over.

Duan Yan returned to the camp outside the city, he drank a lot of wine in the Xiangguo Mansion, if usual, the first thing he would do after returning to the camp would be to fall asleep.

But today seemed different. Duan Yan sat on the edge of the bed tent, thinking dizzily for a long time, then got up and splashed cold water on his face, and suddenly became more sober.

"Qin He, go and invite Captain Pingjin to my tent." Duan Yan ordered the confidant guard at the door.

The guard at the door was a little troubled, "General, at this hour, the captain should have fallen asleep."

"Then wake him up!"

Duan Yan raised his voice, feeling inexplicably agitated.

The guards at the door took orders, and about half an hour later, someone opened the tent door and walked in from the outside.

"General Zhonglang, I don't know why you called the officer here so late?"

The man who received the money bowed first, he had already fallen asleep.Hearing Qin He's summons, he didn't complain, got up from the bed, changed his clothes, and came with him.

When Duan Yan saw the person coming, the irritability on his face disappeared, and he took the initiative to greet him with a smile on his face: "Brother Wen He, please sit down quickly, please sit down quickly."

Jia Xu didn't stick to the formalities, and found a seat to sit down.

Jia Xu was born in an official family. His ancestor was Jia Yi, a famous writer in the period of Emperor Wen. His great-grandfather, grandfather, and father also served as prefects, generals and other important local positions.

The Xuanshi seeks talents, visits and chases ministers, and Jia Sheng's talents are even more incomparable.

Pity the empty seats in the middle of the night, don't ask the common people and ask the ghosts and gods.

This song "Jia Sheng" was written by Jia Yi, Jia Xu's ancestor.

In the generation of Jia Xu's father, Jia's family declined rapidly because of his emigration to Wuwei Guzang.

When Jia Xu reached the crown, the Jia family was almost left with an empty shell.

Different from the children of other aristocratic families, others have the mission of revitalizing the family, but what Jia Xu wants is very simple.I don't want to be a gentleman in Yuyi, but I want to find a place to settle down in the troubled times.

Jia Xu was born in Guzang, so he and Duan Yao are from the same hometown.

Previously, Jia Xu served under Duan Yan's tent, and most of the soldiers in the army were trusted.Duan Yan was suspicious, fearing that Jia Xu would seize his military power, and panicked, but on the surface he still treated Jia Xu very politely.

Later, Duan Yan heard that there was a Pingjin captaincy under Niu Fu's command, and immediately recommended Jia Xu to him.Niu Fu and Duan Yan have a good relationship in private, so they recruited Jia Xu.

As soon as Jia Xu left, Duan Yan felt relieved.

Many days have passed since this incident, and when we meet now, Duan Yan still harbors guilt in his heart, and feels that what he did back then was too villainous.

"I haven't seen my elder brother for a long time, and I miss him very much, so I sent someone to invite my elder brother to come to the tent to talk about the old days."

"Xu also misses General Zhonglang. Even though he is seeking a job under General Niu Fu, he never forgets the kindness that General Zhonglang gave to him back then."

The two chatted back and forth for a while, and Duan Yan finally returned to the main topic: "Do you know Lu Bu, brother?"

After finishing speaking, Duan Yan picked up the water bowl seemingly casually, taking the opportunity of drinking water, secretly watched Jia Xu's expression change.

Going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, Jia Xu knew in his heart that it was impossible for Duan Yan to have nothing to do, so he called himself to his camp in the middle of the night.

What kind of character Duan Yan is, Jia Xu has his own mind.

It's just that the question he asked obviously exceeded his expectations, Lu Bu?General Zhenbei?
Jia Xu shook his head, "I am a small military official, how can I know the famous Zhenbei General in the dynasty?"

Duan Yan obviously didn't believe it. After Jia Xu's voice fell, he asked again: "I really don't know?"

"I really don't know." Jia Xu replied very firmly.

"That's weird. At the banquet in Xiangguo Mansion today, Lu Bu came over and asked me if I recognized a person named Jia Xu and knew that you were from my hometown..."

Since they didn't know each other, there was no need for Duan Yan to tell Jia Xu what Lu Bu had said.

At first Duan Yan thought it was Lv Bu who had a grudge against Jia Xu, so he sent someone to call Jia Xu, and wanted to tell him to leave temporarily to avoid the limelight.

Don't look at the man in front of him who is over forty years old, and his appearance is quite satisfactory. He looks harmless to humans and animals, just like the teacher in the school, gentle and elegant.

But Duan Yan knew that these were all illusions.The man in front of him is definitely smarter and deeper than anyone he has ever seen, including Li Ru, who is under the command of the grand master and known as "Poisonous Zhang Liang".

In the early years, when Jia Xu went on a trip and returned home from the east, he passed by Qiandi, and he met the rebellious Di people on the road.Jia Xu and dozens of others were captured by the Di people.Others begged for mercy, but Jia Xu said, "I am the grandson of Duan Gong (Duan Jiong). If you harm me, you will be destroyed by the government. If you don't harm me, my family will pay a lot of money to redeem you."

Rebel Di did not dare to harm him. After making an alliance with Jia Xu, he sent him back, and the rest of the Han people had no survivors.

It is precisely because of this incident that Jia Xu became attached to Duan Yan.

The night was dark, and the candles in the tent were flickering, shaking the two sitting figures.

Duan Yan drank a lot of wine, already tired and tired, and Jia Xu didn't speak for a long time, Duan Yan sat there, and soon fell asleep.Lining his chin with one hand, he dozed off at the desk, snoring from his nostrils, like a sow feeding.

The face of Jia Xu next to him was a little more dignified. Over the years, he had troubled a lot of things, but it was the first time that he was so confused.

Even after thinking through all the possible situations, Jia Xu still couldn't figure it out. He didn't know Lu Bu, and he didn't have a good reputation. How could this Lu Bu know himself, and even know his family name.

Fortunately, Duan Yan did not confess to Lu Bu, even if the visitor was not kind, he would not show his feet in a short time.

Hearing the snoring next to him, Jia Xu realized that he should go too. He got up and found a thin blanket from the tent, put it on Duan Yan, and then walked out of the tent.

Dreaming back at midnight, Lu Bu dreamed of Chang'an in his previous life.

Li Jue and Guo Si led the army to break through the imperial city, Wang Yun jumped off the building and died. He was also defeated and fled.

Lu Bu sat up from the bed startled, no longer sleepy.

The bright moonlight outside the window poured on Lu Bu's face through the wooden window.

The knot in my heart is still unsolved.

In the Chang'an Rebellion that year, apart from Wang Yun's own death, the most important thing was Jia Xu who stood behind Li Jue and Guo Si and gave advice.

Unfortunately, from the beginning to the end, Lu Bu had never seen this scribe.

He only heard his name, but never met him.

Duan Yan also gave a clear answer last night that Jia Xu is not in his army.

Thinking of this, Lu Bu sighed leisurely, if he is not in Duan Yan's army, then where is he?
The next day, Duan Yao, who was sleeping soundly on the table, opened his eyes sleepily, and the sky outside was already bright.

Duan Yan yawned and sat up, stretching his hands. He was about to get up, but found two lines of writing on the desk.

He is destined to meet with you again.
