Back then, Jia Xu was only a minor official in a small county city. He was discovered by Jiang Chen and promoted to the position as an exception.
At the very beginning, Jia Xu was silent. Unless Jiang Chen took the initiative to ask, he would not open his mouth to give advice.
However, people would change, and even Jia Xu was no exception.
After four years, he already knew what Jiang Chen's ambition was and what kind of person he was.
Only then did he sincerely give Jiang Chen advice without any scruples.
Jiang Chen had the same martial arts and commanding ability as Xiang Yu, the overlord of the Western Chu. He was not afraid of anyone when he fought face to face.
However, when it came to scheming, it might be a little lacking.
Now that he had Jia Xu's help, he was like a tiger with wings, no longer afraid of anyone.
……
Two days later, in the Imperial Residence.
On the birthday of Situ Wang Yun, a banquet was held for all officials.
Not only was he one of the three dukes of the imperial court, but he also had extremely high popularity.
When Jiang Chen arrived, the front door and courtyard were crowded with people. It was extremely lively.
"General, you're here!" A servant quickly walked over to welcome him. "Our master is already meeting the guests in the main hall. I'll bring you there now.”
Jiang Chen nodded.
Then, he was led to the banquet hall by a servant.
At this moment, there were about twenty to thirty people at the banquet.
The moment Jiang Chen entered, he attracted the attention of the vast majority of people.
"General of the West, Jiang Chen, is here as well.”
"He's really a tiger general. As expected of someone Dong Zhuo fears!”
"Our Great Han has such talent, so why should we fear Dong Zhuo?”
……
Wang Yun was wearing a long green robe. He walked to the front of the crowd and invited the guests to take their seats with a smile on his face.
Sitting on the left was Grand Tutor Yuan Kui.
Sitting on the right was Sikong Yang Biao.
The Yuan and Yang families had four generations of three dukes, and they were great families in the current era.
In terms of family background, even Wang Yun was inferior to them.
Moreover, these two were both ranked among the three dukes and had a great reputation in the court.
Sitting below Grand Tutor Yuan Kui was Cai Yong, who had just resigned.
He did not have an official position, but he was a famous literary and calligraphy master of the current era. He was quite famous in the academic world.
It was only because he had joined Dong Zhuo that his reputation had deteriorated.
Even if he resigned due to illness and no longer worked for Dong Zhuo, he would not be forgiven by everyone.
Many of the guests present were still pointing at him, their eyes filled with disdain and contempt.
The person sitting below Grand Commandant Yang Biao was Jiang Chen.
According to his official position, it was naturally impossible for him to sit in this position.
However, if it was based on power, Jiang Chen could even sit in front of Yang Biao.
After all, he was the only person who could make Dong Zhuo fear him!
The other guests also took their seats under the instructions of the servants.
Jiang Chen sat in his seat and looked around casually.
Most people's gazes were focused on him.
Jiang Chen didn't care about this at all. His expression didn't change and he looked at it indifferently.
He only nodded slightly when he saw Cai Yong, which was considered a greeting.
Other than that, there was another person who caught his attention.
The man was in his thirties. He had a fair complexion, thin eyes, and a long beard. He was wearing brown clothes.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Jiang Chen, but other than the first glance, he did not look at him again. He did not talk to the people around him and just drank by himself.
"Thank you for taking the time to attend this old man's birthday celebration. This old man is extremely grateful!”
"But…"
Wang Yun sighed, his face full of worry.
The guests sitting in the seats were a little surprised and looked around at each other.
Today was Wang Yun's birthday, how could he act like this?
Apart from Jiang Chen and Cai Yong, the middle-aged man with long beard and thin eyes narrowed his eyes. His expression was uncertain, and no one knew what he was thinking.
"Why is Master like this?"
Yuan Kui, who was sitting on the left, asked.
" Actually..." Wang Yun shook his head." To be honest, today is not my birthday.”
？？？
All the guests were puzzled.
Only the middle-aged man with thin eyes and a long beard had a flash in his eyes as if he had thought of something.
Wang Yun sighed." I just wanted to have a chat with all of you. I was afraid that Dong Zhuo would be suspicious, so I made an excuse to celebrate my birthday!"”
The guests were silent, shaking their heads and sighing.
Ever since Dong Zhuo entered the palace, everyone had been living in fear. They didn't even have the usual visits or friends.
"Dong Zhuo is deceiving his master and manipulating his power.”
"Ever since Emperor Gaozu killed the white snake, destroyed Qin and Chu, and established the Great Han Dynasty, who would have thought that it would end up in such a state!”
Wang Yun's expression was desolate and bitter. When he spoke of the emotional part, he covered his face and cried.
The guests in the hall also covered their faces and cried.
Jiang Chen's expression didn't change as he looked around. Other than the middle-aged man with the long beard and thin eyes, everyone else, including Cai Yong who knew the inside story, started to cry.
"Hahahahaha!"
The middle-aged man with thin eyes and a long beard suddenly laughed.
Wang Yun and all the guests glared at him.
However, he still laughed like nothing had happened.
"Meng De, why are you laughing? Are you trying to humiliate us?" Yuan Kui said.
Cao Cao laughed." All the officials in the court cry till dawn, and cry till night. Don't tell me that Dong Zhuo will laugh to death?"”
After saying that, he laughed out loud again.
"Cao Mengde!"
Wang Yun scowled and said," Your ancestors also received the salary of the Han Dynasty. Instead of serving the country, you laugh at us. What kind of logic is this?”
Cao Cao glanced at Wang Yun, stood up, and said lightly,""I don't care about anything else, but I'm laughing at you for not having a plan to kill Dong Zhuo!”
Wang Yun's eyes flashed, and a hint of joy appeared on his face, but it was quickly covered up.
"Humph!"
"What do you have in mind?" he snorted coldly.”
Cao Cao looked at Jiang Chen and cupped his fists.""Now that General Jiang Chen is here, if you are willing to act, you will definitely be able to kill Dong Zhuo!”
Jiang Chen ignored him and continued drinking.
Wang Yun looked disappointed.
They had already discussed this plan. It was impossible.
"Dong Zhuo had fifty thousand men before, and a few days ago, he sent large groups of cavalry into the city every day.”
"And General Xizhong only brought ten thousand cavalrymen. The difference in numbers is too great. It's no different from hitting a rock with an egg!”
Wang Yun said.
"Fifty thousand?" Cao Cao smiled and shook his head." Dong Zhuo killed Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou. How could the soldiers of Bingzhou be willing to fight for him?”
"The Imperial Guards in the Imperial Palace have been indebted to the Emperor for generations and have received the benefits of the Han Dynasty, but they were forced to submit to Dong Zhuo.”
"The so-called 50,000 is just an exaggeration!”
"Oh?" Wang Yun's eyes flashed as he glanced at Jiang Chen.
Since Cao Cao wanted it, then Jiang Chen would definitely want it too. He…
Jiang Chen's expression did not change and he remained silent.
