Chapter 371 (1/2)

Liu Mang finally understood how Jia Xu takes his revenge When he left Nanyang, he burned down all of the provisions until there was nothing left They would need to rely on Yuzhou and Runan for support

“Wenhe Was that hed as he looked at Jia Xu When Jia Xu had coht with hiift, was six thousand and four hundred of the Xiliang Cavalry Liu Mang also left Ge Jun and Zhang Hu in charge of aCavalry Only about a hundred cavaliers were transferred to the Black Flag Ar Liao to Liu Mang’s co Liao would only continue toLiao is fir the troops SoCavalry TheLiao still had hatred for the Xiliang Cavalry even though Zhang Xiu was already dead Liu Mang and Lu Bu both did not want a fight to break out between the deputy of the Wolf Cavalry and the Xiliang Cavalry as they had already surrendered

All feelings of suffocationLiao stay at Shouchun to beco Liao would not doCavalry even more severely Just like that, another elite cavalry would belong to Liu Mang Naturally, this brought joy to Liu Mang

The second gift was Zhang Lei, Zhang Xiu’s son Accepting the Xiliang Cavalry gave hiood reputation which could be used to unite the land After all, Liu Mang and Zhang Xiu were ene to lose his foundation and even killed half of the Wolf Cavalry Lu Bu had also been ambushed Naturally, the hatred should be deep However, Liu Mang and Lu Bu discarded their hatred Not only did not retaliate for Zhang Xiu’s actions but they had also incorporated the Xiliang Cavalry and sheltered Zhang Lei With instigation fro Lei as foster son Suchad never expected was for Jia Xu to burn Nanyang’s provisions Now, Liu Bei had to go cold and hungry Liu Bei initially thought of resupplying at Nanyang but now he could only supply for hi and had to rely on provisions from Yuzhou Fortunately for Liu Bei, there were notdown his new territory

“This is not a gift for Milord This is merely self-preservation!” Jia Xu did not want to take credit for his actions It was not his contribution and was ainst Jia Xu’s plans which caused Jia Xu to strike back It was also to serve as a warning

“Er” Everyone else trembled as they felt that Jia Xu was a little bit too vicious for burning the provisions for an entire region si had been an ordinary region, hundreds and thousands of citizens would starve to death It was plain to see that Jia Xu was a person ould sacrifice others for his own interests The others could not help but distance thehed aardly He also felt as though Jia Xu was a little excessive However, Liu Mang already had a grasp of what Jia Xu was like As long as his foundation remains stable, he should not need to worry about Jia Xu “Looks like Liu Bei Liu Xuande would be regretting his lack of investigation now!” Liu Mang had learned about everything fro Xiu escaped in a sorry state Lu Bu wanted to chase them but he lacked provisions and it would be difficult to track the Xiu’s defeat spread to Nanyang very quickly Jia Xu could accept this news After all, victory and defeat were co Xiu had lost twenty thousand Xiliang Cavalry, it was not a very huge setback as Zhang Xiu was so to serve another It was also only a portion of Zhang Xiu’s Ar Cavalry as well as thirty thousand infantries When Zhang Xiu returns, he could still go and find so Xiu to find a Lord to serve There were three powerful Lords to choose fro his troops and money there to be welco Xiu to die He was also unable to believe it He believed that Chen Gong of the Lu Bu’s Ar without a Lord and only bring hatred towards thee on the Lu Bu’s Ar would not do this Later, he saw Zhang Xiu’s corpse which was brought back by Hu Che Er Jia Xu now started to believe that Zhang Xiu was killed by the impulsive Lu Bu It was possible that Lu Bu did not listen to Chen Gong’s advice After all, Hu Che Er had followed Zhang Fa Xiu’s trusted subordinate and he had high integrity

Jia Xu slowly believed this and shook his head bitterly He had initially thought that Lu Bu was a hero but in the end, this happened Jia Xu was prepared to leave and live in seclusion

Hu Che Er then spoke of Zhang Xiu’s final will The one that would be the next Lord would not be his son Zhang Quan but Zhang Ji’s son Zhang Cheng This is to return the position back to Zhang Ji The inheritance syste Xiu had been chosen to rule by Zhang Ji was because Zhang Ji was very fond of Zhang Xiu and also because his own son was still too young and not fit to rule At the ti a crisis with provisions and Zhang Ji hoped for Zhang Xiu to be able to solve it Zhang Ji hadthe up an agreeuard Liu Biao’s South while Liu Biao kept the Xiu is dead, his position should have been passed down to his eldest son, Zhang Quan who is no longer young instead of Zhang Cheng In fact, Zhang Quan was older than Zhang Cheng Naturally, Zhang Quan could not accept this He had no reason to simply surrender the foundation his father had built up to so Xiu to be the next Lord Now, Hu Che Er said that the next to rule was Zhang Cheng Zhang Quan was not satisfied

On the other hand, Zhang Cheng was overjoyed as he had also expected Zhang Quan to be inherit the position After all, Zhang Quan was still Zhang Xiu’s son There are no parents that do not love their own children Although Zhang Xiu also cared about hiilant Naturally, he felt iven hi wanted to step back as he had only been in a civil post with no authority It was not possible for hi As Hu Che Er had high prestige in the Xiliang Cavalry, having Hu Che Er’s support meant he already won half the battle It was entirely possible for hi with the help of Hu Che Er and the other veterans that had followed his father Zhang Ji With this advantage, Zhang Cheng prepared hi Cheng never realized that Hu Che Er also swore loyalty to Zhang Quan The day Zhang Cheng was to beco Cheng wanted to look for Hu Che Er and ask for help but Hu Che Er had already vanished Zhang Cheng’s fate was set He was dragged down fro Quan Unfortunately, Zhang Quan did not have , Hu Che Er appeared once again Hu Che Er did not co Quan but to kill hi to usurp the position Regardless of whether he was Zhang Xiu’s son or not, the one that got no Quan had already killed Zhang Cheng, Hu Che Er was able to step forward and kill Zhang Quan in the na Quan and Zhang Cheng, the only one left was Zhang Lei Hu Che Er wanted toLei was only five years old, it is clearly to be as a puppet

Jia Xu watched Hu Che Er’s every move with indifference Initially, Jia Xu was unconcerned about Hu Che Er as the e in the aret involved He did not expect that Hu Che Er would destroy his plans even though he did not provoke the man Hu Che Er wanted his help and had declared that he was the one that killed Zhang Xiu However, did Hu Che Er really kill Zhang Xiu or was he si the Liu Bei’s Ar Xiu bla Cavalry soldiers and also because Hu Che Er hi Xiu would abandon hi Cavalry

Hu Che Er wanted Jia Xu to help hier wanted to be Liu Bei’s subordinate After killing Zhang Quan, he felt great to be at the seat of power He did not want to lose it If he were to become Liu Bei’s subordinate, he would still be someone’s lackey even if he made a lot of contributions Hu Che Er also kneould not be able to go far alone and needed Jia Xu to help him stabilize his position
