In the hall of the Shenwu Marquis Mansion.

Li Hong looked at Jia Xu who was offering advice, and said nothing.

Jia Xu paused for a moment, then bowed to Li Hong and said:
“My lord, the troops have been secretly assembled and are now stationed in Shangdang County. We are just waiting for the allied forces to break through the pass and enter Luoyang, attracting all of Dong Zhuo’s attention. Then the army can take advantage of the situation to cross the Yellow River and attack Guanzhong and Xiliang!”

“Yes, that’s right. We need to closely monitor the changes in the situation in Luoyang.”

“By the way, your eldest son’s name is Jia Mu, right? How old is he?”

Li Hong changed the subject and asked Jia Xu.

Jia Xu listened to Li Hong’s words, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said hurriedly:

“My son is Jia Mu, he is already eight years old.”

“Well, that’s right. You are my son, and you have witnessed my growth process. You are no different from my son.”

“Little Jia Mu, Little Li Siye and Little Li Yuanhao are about the same age, so let them go to school together.”

Li Hong said.

“This… Jia Mu is naughty. How can he go to school with two young masters Siye and Yuanhao? If he affects the two young masters, Jia Xu will feel uneasy.” Jia Xu immediately said with a flattered expression.

Little Li Yuanhao and Little Li Siye were both sons born to Li Hong around the time of the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion. They were already seven or eight years old, which was about the same age as Jia Mu.

Obviously, this was a favor given by Li Hong.

“Haha, it’s not Jia Mu who led little Li Yuanhao and little Li Siye astray. I’m afraid it’s little Li Yuanhao and little Li Siye who led little Jia Mu astray. Okay, let’s just leave it at that. Hahaha.” Li Hong laughed and waved his hands.

“This…Okay, thank you, my lord!” Jia Xu no longer refused and agreed.

“I will not disturb my lord and his wife from having a meal. I will take my leave now.” Jia Xu did not stay any longer and said goodbye to Li Hong.

“Haha, Madam Bian and Madam Du are about to give birth. I have to comfort them, so I won’t keep Wenhe.” Li Hong said with a smile.

Jia Xu paused as he listened to Li Hong’s words. Looking at the ruddy complexion that was no worse than that of a middle-aged man, he was filled with amazement and admiration, and said:

“I admire you. Jia Xu, take your leave!”

Looking at Jia Xu’s departing back, Li Hong stroked his gray beard, a hint of amusement in his eyes.

……

Jia Xu left the Shenwu Marquis’s residence, looked back at the plaque of the Shenwu Marquis’s residence, and returned to the residence without hesitation. Jia Xu summoned his subordinate Zhou Ji.

“Send a message to the people in Luoyang, asking them to pay attention to the imperial seal and let Yuan Shu find it. Also, guide Liu Xie to escape from Luoyang when the time comes, and join Yuan Shu’s army after the princes disperse.” Jia Xu said in a deep voice to Zhou Ji.

“This…Yes!” Zhou Ji raised his head suddenly and looked at Jia Xu in shock, but quickly agreed.

After leaving Jia Xu’s mansion, Zhou Ji, who looked ordinary, was still shocked. As intelligence officers under Bingzhou, they had been exposed to many secrets.

However, he did not expect that Jia Xu would actually ask them to do this!
……

The residence of Marquis Shenwu.

Li Hong was having dinner with Mrs. Bian, who was pregnant, and Mrs. Du.

As the most beautiful woman in the world at the end of the Han Dynasty,
Even though they were pregnant, Mrs. Bian and Mrs. Du still had their own charm.

However, at this moment, Madam Bian felt a little bored and said to Li Hong:

“My dear, do you think Cunxiao will be okay? This is his first time on the battlefield, and swords have no mercy on us.”

Upon hearing this, Li Hong held Madam Bian’s hand and said with a smile:

“Madam, don’t worry. Cunxiao is already quite brave and has natural supernatural powers, so he will be fine.”

Mrs. Bian felt better after listening to Li Hong’s comfort, but she still looked worried.

Li Hong understood that Mrs. Bian was anxious about her upcoming birth, and that Li Cunxiao was on the battlefield, which was why she behaved like this.

“Sister Bian, Cunxiao is very brave. Everyone says that Cunxiao has inherited her husband’s bravery. You don’t have to worry.”

Mrs. Du, who was bright and plump, stroked her belly and spoke to Mrs. Bian in a comforting tone.

“Alas, how can inheriting bravery be a good thing? It’s better to sit in the rear and command the troops and make plans.” Mrs. Bian was obviously very unhappy that Li Cunxiao inherited Li Hong’s bravery.

Indeed, Li Cunxiao was a strong man and had been a worry since he was a child. He was also the one she cared about the most. When he went to the battlefield, he always charged into battle and fought in the front. How could he be a general who always won?

“Then madam, give birth to another child, a great general who will sit in the rear and command the troops and make plans.” Li Hong said with a smile on his face.

Upon hearing this, Madam Bian touched her bulging belly, and a hint of excitement appeared on her delicate face.
