Chapter 21 Continue Salted Fish
Early the next morning, Li Ru brought Jia Xu and Chu Jiang to outside the Liangzhou Governor's Mansion.
Although Li Ru was a little surprised that Jia Xu wanted to take Chu Jiang with him, he had no intention of objection. After all, in his opinion, even if it was difficult to pull Jia Xu into Dong Zhuo's camp, it would be a good choice if Chu Jiang could be brought over. Although Chu Jiang is only nine years old now, after experiencing the previous incident, Li Ru did not really treat him as a child.
"Zhengzhu Li!"
Seeing Li Ru, the guards guarding outside the gate hurriedly saluted.
The movements are neat, the energy is full, and the word "elite" is at least the elite soldiers in Liangzhou are well deserved.
"The governor has already given instructions. If Chief Li brings people to visit, he will just go in without notice."
Nodding, Li Ru signaled that he knew, and then took Jia Xu and Chu Jiang to the governor's mansion.
The three of them met Dong Zhuo in the main hall. They were not as cruel as Chu Jiang imagined. They were quite kind and looked easy to talk to. When they met, they probably were because they were mixed with a layer of love that the fat man was so embarrassed about. Fatty Dong was very polite to show Fat Man Jia and Li Ru equally.
Of course, as Chu Jiang's identity, he could only stand behind Jia Xu. Naturally, he didn't have the time to speak. Chu Jiang was also happy about this - Jia Xu had already told him very clearly, and the reason why he followed was just to see the world.
Then, the development of things in the future was unexpectedly harmonious.
First, both sides were polite and polite, and then Fatty Dong asked Mr. Jia about his opinion on Beigong Yu.
Mr. Jia was too lazy to be true, so he directly exposes Chu Jiang’s words last night. Then Fatty Dong immediately made a decision and said that he should do this. Then a black-faced man two meters tall next to Fatty Dong turned around and went out.
Afterwards, Chu Jiang realized that the name of the black-faced man was Hua Xiong.
After talking about Beigong Yu, the dialogue between the two sides became more harmonious.
In the end, after Fatty Dong gave Mr. Jia a free job as the chief clerk, Mr. Jia took Chu Jiang away.
From beginning to end, there was no conflict in the slightest outbreak, everything was abnormally harmonious.
After leaving the governor's mansion and getting on the carriage, Jia Xu sighed softly: "Dong Zhongying, he is a smart person."
Chu Jiang nodded.
Before, when Dong Zhuo expressed his intention to hand over Beigong Yu to Jia Xu for disposal, he naturally had the intention to suppress Jia Xu's popularity for Li Ru. However, judging from Dong Zhuo's performance today, he was just to express this meaning. In fact, today's meeting, Dong Zhuo had no intention of making things difficult for Jia Xu. From the beginning to the end, he was just to express an attitude.
I can only say that Dong Zhuo is indeed a hero now.
"So, are you moved by sir?"
Jia Xu smiled faintly: "Look at it again. Isn't this what Dong Zhongying gave Xu the position of chief clerk?"
To put it bluntly, the chief clerk is just the assistant officials in charge of documents and their power comes from the chief clerk.
Therefore, a chief clerk may be extremely powerful or just a idle position.
Just like Li Ru, although he was the chief clerk, he was actually the first person under Dong Zhuo of Xiliang.
This is the reason why Dong Zhuo gave Jia Xu the official position.
The choice lies in Jia Xu himself.
Chu Jiang was not surprised by Jia Xu's answer.
How could an old fox like him bet easily?
The cunning rabbit has three holes. This time, the reason why Jia Xu returned to Liangzhou with Li Ru so easily was only based on this idea. Although he was not optimistic about Dong Zhuo, what if Fatty Dong really changed his fate?
......
"So, even if you return to Guzang from Anyang County, should you continue to be salted fish?"
In the yard, Chu Jiang was lying on the chair, basking in the sun while sighing.
Next to him, Jia Xu was also lying on a recliner, squinted his eyes slightly and said, "Why, isn't salted fish good?"
At the beginning, Jia Xu was a little confused about the meaning of the salted fish in Chujiang's mouth, but after a long time, he naturally understood it.
He tilted his head and glanced at Chu Jiang, and Jia Xu smiled maliciously and said, "If you feel bored, Wenyou is so busy lately, you can go and help him."
"Don't." Chu Jiang refused straightforwardly: "Why do you have to work if you can paddle?"
Hearing Chu Jiang say this, Jia Xu glanced at Chu Jiang again, and the meaning was already very obvious - then what else are you complaining about?
With a gentle smile, Chu Jiang would feel at ease to bask in the sun and stop talking.
Although both of them were very salty since they came to Guzang with Jia Xu, this did not prevent them from understanding the entire situation in Xiliang. After all, Li Ru, who had all the information under Dong Zhuo, never shy away from talking about these in front of Jia Xu and Chu Jiang. Therefore, they naturally knew how busy Li Ru, as the chief adviser under Dong Zhuo, was.
He also had to deal with all forces in Liangzhou, develop the army under Dong Zhuo, and find a way to deal with the government affairs in Liangzhou. Li Ru can be said to be a military, political and diplomatic force. As for Jia Xu, Li Ru seemed to just want Jia Xu to see him. Now that his goal has been achieved, Li Ru did not want Jia Xu to help him at all. In this regard, Jia Xu was naturally happy to be idle.
However, it has to be said that the more you understand the current situation in Liangzhou, the more Chu Jiang has to sigh at Li Ru's ability.
Looking at Dong Zhuo's command, Li Ru was the only civil officials who took advantage of it. In other words, Li Ru had to personally inquire about all aspects of the matter. In this case, Li Ru insisted on taking most of Liangzhou in the hands of the heroes of Liangzhou such as Ma Teng, Han Sui, Beigong Yu, Bian Zhang, Li Wenhou, etc. Chu Jiang has to say that he is truly one of the top strategists in the Three Kingdoms.
Li Ru can be said to have a lot of fun in driving a tiger and swallowing a wolf, dividing apart, and killing people with a knife.
Moreover, under Li Ru's management, Fatty Dong not only swallowed most of the territory of Liangzhou, but also developed. Wuwei, Stable, and Northland, Hanyang, several counties completely under the rule of Fatty Dong, were much better than those before Fatty Dong. As for the army under Fatty Dong, with Li Ru's investment of no cost, the Western Liang Iron Cavalry has also begun to take shape.
Seeing Li Ru working so hard, Chu Jiang couldn't help but compare Jia Xu - why is the gap so big between brothers and sisters?
Like Li Ru, even if he was put into later generations, he would be a model model worker, but Mr. Jia...
Chu Jiang couldn't help but shake his head - even in history, after Mr. Jia defected to Cao Cao, he didn't seem to have planned it a few times, right?
However, Chu Jiang looked at himself again, "All right, why bother with salted fish?
So, it's really more comfortable to paddle.........
