"Sir, there is a big event in Luoyang."
"Speak." Jia Xu was greatly encouraged.
"Dong Zhuo coerced Liu Xie into agreeing to move the capital. At court, all officials opposed the move. Huang Wan and Yang Biao were dismissed, and Wu Qiong and Zhou Bi were executed for treason. But due to Dong Zhuo's tyranny, the officials stopped complaining, and the move to Chang'an went ahead."
"Can you tell this to the Lord?"
"A colleague has already gone there."
"good."
Jia Xu asked the Jinyiwei to withdraw and then went to where Li Su was.
At this time, Li Jue, Zhang Ji, Fan Chou and others had led their troops to stop Sun Jian, and only Li Su was left in Hulao Pass.
Li Su was surprised to see Jia Xu coming.
After spending many days together, he was impressed by Jia Xu's erudition. With such a wise man by his side, he was not afraid of the Marquis of Guanjun even if he was alone in guarding Hulao Pass.
"General Li," Jia Xu bowed and said, "I have something to ask you."
"What's the matter?" Li Su asked in surprise.
"Do you know that the Prime Minister wants to move the capital to Chang'an?"
"Is this true? I haven't heard of it yet." Li Su's expression changed slightly, and his eyes were uncertain.
"Sun Jian is powerful, and the Prime Minister knows he is unstoppable. He has had the Emperor issue an order during the morning court session to move the capital to Chang'an and abandon Luoyang. Isn't General Li aware of such a major event?"
"I really don't know." Li Su looked grim.
"General Li, we have been together for many days and are like close friends. There are some things I don't know whether I should say or not," said Jia Xu.
"Mr. Jia, please speak. I also regard Mr. Jia as a close friend."
"Since the defeat in the Sishui battle, the Prime Minister seems to be displeased with General Li. Now he has left his army alone in Hulao Pass to withstand the invincible power of the Marquis of Guanjun. He has not even informed us about the relocation of the capital and the transfer to Chang'an. If the army moves west one day, Hulao Pass will become an isolated city." Jia Xu whispered.
Li Su looked uncertain and was thinking a lot.
Thinking about it carefully, Dong Zhuo had indeed ignored him for many days.
"Mr. Jia, what should I do?" Li Su asked in a low voice.
"Sun Jian has broken through Yique Pass, and the gateway to Luoyang has become useless. Hulao Pass is no longer meaningful. General Li, if the Marquis of Guanjun attacks us one day, you must not fight to the death. Retreat to Luoyang quickly and move to Chang'an with the army, otherwise you will be trapped to death in Hulao Pass." Jia Xu said with great regret.
"This..." Li Su thought for a long time before nodding slightly.
"General Li, I'll take my leave now. It's not advisable to stay in Hulao for long. I'm going to Luoyang first." Jia Xu said goodbye and said, "One day, you and I will meet in Chang'an and have a drink together."
"Understood. See you someday."
Li Su was grateful and sent Jia Xu away.
