Chapter 167 From now on, no chance to see each other again
If this is the time when heroes are vying for the throne, Liu Jian will place Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu in Jingzhou and Yangzhou to defend the Yuan family in Yingchuan, Runan, and at the same time let other incompetent second-generation figures of the Yuan family go to the north to work hard.
Strategy, in Yuan Ji's opinion, must be evil intentions and evil intentions.
But the problem now is not a time for heroes to compete for the throne.
Although there is chaos in the world, it is far from being called a collapse.
Therefore, what most leaders of aristocratic families value most is the family's political interests in the court and prestige in the local area.
Therefore, judging from the current form, Liu Jian's suggestions are still very pertinent and practical, and are in line with the interests of the Yuan family.
But if Yuan Ji could really see the state of the local states and counties in the Han Dynasty ten years later... he would probably slap himself fifty times in regret because of his decision today, which would make him look completely different!
Seeing Yuan Ji's expression of enlightenment, Liu Jian knew in his heart that his plan should be almost completed.
With Xu You's urging inside and Yuan Ji's control outside, Yuan Shao's route out of the capital was basically decided.
"Reject the river to the south, block the Yan Dynasty to the north, conquer the deserts, and move south to compete for the world." I am afraid that this bold statement will never come out of Yuan Shao's mouth again from now on.
After Liu Jian and Yuan Ji discussed everything, Yuan Ji became addicted to alcohol again. He immediately ordered his servants to arrange a banquet and left Liu Jian to drink in the mansion.
When Yuan Ji heard this, he couldn't help laughing.
There was no other way, he couldn't point out the right path for Yuan Ji.
After saying that, Yuan Ji also picked up a wine jar.
Finally, Yuan Ji was carried back to the back hall by his servants.
That person is Yuan Ji.
"Gao Shun from the Yueqi camp is my confidant, and I have promoted some of the subordinates. I will give you a list later. You can transfer them into your camp and use them as arms."
"That Gao Shun, I will definitely make him a confidant and I will not take him lightly."
"Jian is about to go down to work as a shepherd. I'm afraid I won't come back to Luoyang in the short term. I'll drink this jar of wine today for no other reason than to thank you for treating me these three years."
of care.”
Of course, this cannot all be attributed to the people in Luoyang, it is also based on their origin and environment.
It has been sixteen years since Liu Jian traveled to this era.
After drinking this jar of wine, even the tycoon Yuan Ji couldn't help but feel dizzy.
Liu Jian suddenly picked up a wine jar and stood up.
But at the same time, Liu Jian also admitted that Yuan Ji truly trusted him and made him his confidant ever since he became acquainted with him!
Gao Shun, Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Cheng Pu, and Han Dang were his close friends who he met after becoming an official.
…
Liu Jian added: "Your Majesty's life is approaching, and I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on for much longer. I'm not worried that you will be caught in a dilemma between the new emperor and the Yuan family. You only need to carefully observe the situation in Luoyang, and everything will be consistent with Yuan's."
The brothers discussed it and treated them as their own, so no one will dare to touch you. I will keep both Yu Ze and Li Damu."
But after staying in Luoyang for three years, Liu Jian felt that he had never met a single acquaintance.
They are too profit-oriented.
Looking at Yuan Ji, who was flushed and happy after drinking, Liu Jian felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
In some matters, Liu Jian indeed did his best to plan for Yuan Ji.
"Liu Jian will never be able to repay the kindness he showed me."
"What is Deran doing?"
"The two of them are the ones who came to Luoyang with me in the first place. Li Damu is now the steward of the mansion and travels around the houses for me. Yu Ze is responsible for the affairs outside the mansion for me. If you have anything to do, just leave it to them."
As the head of the Yuan family, carrying all the political interests of the Yuan family, Yuan Ji's only place of use is the Luoyang court.
Sorry, Brother Yuan.
Liu Yan has already set off for Yizhou.
Liu Jian admitted that when Yuan Ji first came to befriend him, he was interested in something about him...for example, he was Zheng Xuan's son-in-law.
Yuan Ji and him will eventually become like Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, who turned from a pair of good friends into strangers and enemies.
If nothing else happens, after drinking with Yuan Ji this time, I may not have the chance to see him again in the future.
Liu Bei nodded heavily and said, "Don't worry, I'll remember it."
However, Liu Jian never regarded the people he met in Luoyang City as friends.
After this salute, Liu Jian immediately turned around and never looked back.
But in fact, if we put aside the constraints of reason and interests, Liu Jian felt that he had a friend in Luoyang City.
Liu Bei nodded vigorously and said: "Deran, don't worry, I will do my best."
And Liu Jian also wandered out of Yuan Ji's mansion.
"Brother, I am going to Jizhou. I will leave everything to you in Luoyang."
"Deran, Deran!" When Yuan Ji was drunk, he was still calling Liu Jian's name unclearly.
People in Luoyang are different from people in border counties.
Moreover, the emperor was indeed planning to sacrifice Liu Jian at any time, but he never had this opportunity.
Liu Hong also gave Liu Jian a lot, but he gave Liu Jian a different feeling.
To be exact, there are indeed many people in Luoyang who want to be friends with him.
If Liu Jian really owed someone in his life, Liu Jian felt that this person was Yuan Ji.
From now on, I may never see you again.
Yuan Ji is really good to himself.
However, Liu Jian drank the wine today with all his heart and soul.
Compared with the emperor, Yuan Ji truly regarded Liu Jian as a good friend.
Even if the way is pointed out, Yuan Ji, as the head of the Yuan family, will not do that.
Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Jian Yong... these are his brothers of life and death, brothers who can be entrusted with their lives.
Moreover, if Liu Jian really points out the right path for Yuan Ji, his friendship with Yuan Ji will collapse in a few years.
Then Liu Jian turned around and stood in front of Yuan Ji's residence, folding his arms and making a long salute.
"You kid actually drinks too much sometimes! Even if you are talking drunkenly, I still have to drink this with you because of what you said."
It was finally time for Liu Jian to go down to work as a herder.
The identities and circumstances arranged by heaven for the two of them are destined to not have a good outcome between them in the end.
Because he had a feeling in his heart.
Liu Jian felt that he should leave Luoyang as soon as possible, a place of right and wrong. If nothing else, just because of the frequent drinking parties, this was not a place suitable for him.
"My brothers, sisters, and nephews will protect them even if I risk my life."
Over the past sixteen years, he has formed many friendships that go beyond close family ties.
"The formation of the Xiyuan School Captain will inevitably lead to the redistribution of Luoyang's armies, and some people from the Northern Army will also be allocated to enrich its strength."
Liu Jian smiled and patted Liu Bei on the shoulder, and then said: "It's not a separation of life and death, so it won't...His Majesty once said in Xiyuan that when the eight captains of Xiyuan were established, you should be one of them."
Although you don't have to go to the battlefield and be beaten to death, you will have to drink yourself to death sooner or later.
The night was dark and the breeze was blowing. He stopped on the street and turned to look at Yuan Ji's mansion, showing a rare feeling of loneliness on his face.
In their eyes, interests are higher than those of friends and relatives.
Before leaving, Liu Jian found Liu Bei.
"Junhou."
Liu Jian is also about to leave for Hebei.
"If something big happens, you can send someone to Jizhou to ask me."
When Yuan Ji saw this, he was stunned.
The two of them patted the mud seal open and each drank a jar of wine proudly.
"I understand, I understand."
Liu Bei nodded heavily: "Deran, don't worry! I don't have the ability to be a brother, but I have the best ability to pretend to be stupid. I don't want to stand out in Luoyang City."
"Okay, if that's the case, then I can rest assured. I will go to the palace again, pay my respects to Your Majesty, and set off immediately tomorrow."
