Liu Jian has been staying by the Luohe River for two days.
Although it only lasted less than two days, these two days were more important to Luoyang City than what had happened in the past two years.
Luoyang's arsenal, Taicang, and the twelve gated city defenses were all handed over. The Xiliang Army used their military deterrence to occupy all the lifeblood of Luoyang City... soldiers, horses, grain, grass, and financial rights were all like this.
Dong Zhuo didn't even follow the procedures of the Secretariat. Everything was streamlined and he didn't play according to the set of rules of the scholars at all.
The officials headed by Yuan Wei are angry at this... but they dare not speak out yet.
Subsequently, Dong Zhuo, with lightning speed, raised the issue of overturning the case of Chen Fan, Dou Wu and the party officials in the court.
This move can be said to have caught all the corporals unprepared.
Although the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty did not deal with this Xiliang tiger, for the scholars of the world, this matter was a matter of honor. If there was any grudge against the people of Liangzhou, it would have to be resolved after this matter
Do the calculation again.
Dong Zhuo was very smart. He used the matter of overturning the case for the party prisoner to temporarily stabilize the interest of the people in the capital and control the situation.
If the scholars want to overturn the case for the Party, they must acquiesce in Dong Zhuo's current status.
Li Jue seemed to be in a dilemma: "As the younger brother of His Majesty, King Chenliu, even if he has to go to Fanping, it would be inconvenient to leave the capital on his own without His Majesty's order."
After arriving under Dong Zhuo's command, Jia Xu did not directly belong to Dong Zhuo's command, but asked for orders to assist Niu Fu.
The deputy envoy is called Jia Xu, who is forty years old.
The effect of putting it into practice is much more effective than what it sounds like.
In addition, Dong Zhuo sent his Liangzhou warrior Li Jue as an envoy, and the scribe who had imitated He Jin's notes for him as a deputy envoy to visit Liu Jian's military camp and find out the truth.
When he was young, Jia Xu was inspected for being a filial and honest man. Later, he resigned due to illness and returned to his hometown in the west to reach Qiandi. On the way, he met the rebellious Di people. Jia Xu deliberately lied that he was Duan Juan's grandson to make the other party angry.
Letting him go was a very good act of self-preservation and at the same time a very good strategy.
Li Jue laughed loudly and said: "Liu Shijun, why do you need to hide it? There is no airtight wall in the world! King Chen Liu and Queen Chenliu got it for Shijun. Everyone in Luoyang City knew about it. Shijun wanted to hide it or not.
You can't live there. Now that Luoyang has settled down, Li Jue has received orders from Sikong to specially invite King Chenliu and Queen Chenliu to return to the capital, and also asks Liu Shijun to make it convenient for them."
Although Dong Zhuo was a warrior in a border county, he still held a high position and held a large number of troops. Moreover, Jia Xu could sense that Dong Zhuo had ambitions to go eastward to the Central Plains.
After Dong Zhuo arrived in Liangzhou and heard about Jia Xu's name, he recruited Jia Xu and appointed him under Niu Fu.
After all, Jia Xu was also from Liangzhou. Although he was talented, full of ingenuity, and came from a filial and honest background, a wealthy family like the Yuan family would not take him seriously.
When the Han Dynasty court was stable and the world was not in chaos, the ten counties of Liangzhou were already at war. Once the central government of the Han Dynasty collapsed and had no power to take charge of the place, what kind of chaos would Liangzhou become?
The Qiang and Di people are afraid that they will rebel, and every Han citizen living in Liangzhou will be in danger of personal safety.
This has many benefits for him personally. Jia Xu knows that although Dong Zhuo has enough troops and power to protect him, what he has to do is too big after all. Jia Xu does not want to be his direct subordinate, but under Niu Fu,
You can hide your reputation.
After all, most Central Plains people are prejudiced against Liangzhou people.
"King Chenliu? Queen?"
However, if you hit a brick wall, you still need to get down to business.
Only when Dong Zhuo established himself in Luoyang could Jia Xu, a Liangzhou native, be qualified to stay in Guandong.
However, he could not completely hide himself. He had to advise Dong Zhuo from time to time and give him advice to help him take the right path.
Let Dong Zhuo touch the nails now. If he touches too many nails and is covered in blood, he will naturally understand what is going on.
Some things cannot be explained clearly with words. If he talks too much, it will only make Dong Zhuo feel resentful towards him.
Li Jue took Jia Xu to Liu Jian's military camp. After giving his name, Liu Jian immediately summoned him.
He has both strength and desire to leave Liangzhou, and he is also very capable. Such a person is a good safe haven for Jia Xu.
The people of Guandong regard Liangzhou people as jackals!
Although he understood in his heart, Jia Xu did not tell Dong Zhuo that his plan was not feasible.
Jia Xu is naturally no exception.
After meeting Liu Jian, Li Jue put away his usual behavior in Liangzhou and showed considerable respect for Liu Jian.
As far as the current situation is concerned, Jia Xu can't find anyone who can take him and his family away from Liangzhou.
No matter how chaotic the Central Plains states will be once the world is in chaos, at present, the most dangerous place is the border counties of Liangzhou.
Of course this is not the case. The true meaning of being wise and protecting yourself is not to be mute, but to give appropriate advice to the people you are assisting at the appropriate time and according to the situation.
For example, Dong Zhuo must not be left behind when it comes to contacting Liu Jian.
Therefore, in order to prevent yourself and your family from being driven back to the dangerous area of Liangzhou, your top priority is to help Dong Zhuo establish a foothold in Luoyang.
What Liu Jian said as a "joke" made Li Jue's expression change instantly.
Li Jue was Dong Zhuo's confidant and fierce general. Although he was a local powerful man, did not read scriptures, and had an arrogant personality, he could still distinguish the important from the important.
Liu Jian also laughed loudly: "I'm afraid not, King Chenliu has been sent back to Yecheng by me. I'm afraid he can't return to Luoyang for the time being. Moreover, according to ancient rituals, King Chenliu has already been granted the title of prince, so it is not appropriate for him to do so."
Since I have been living in the capital, since this has happened, I would like to ask Zhiran to return to Luoyang and say something to Dong Sikong and ask Situ to understand."
Jia Xu analyzed back and forth in his mind and found that since the Yellow Turban Uprising and Liu Hong's death, the Han Dynasty had been on the verge of falling apart.
Therefore, after talking with Dong Zhuo, Jia Xu immediately agreed to Dong Zhuo's conquest and entered his service.
In particular, Jia Xu had no other choice for the time being. Following Dong Zhuo and leaving Liangzhou was his only hope.
After some analysis, Jia Xu came to the conclusion that he must leave Liangzhou with his close relatives!
Of course it has an impact!
Liangzhou was originally a place with frequent rebellions and wars.
After listening to Li Jue's inquiry, Liu Jian's face showed some confusion: "Jian doesn't know what Zhiran is talking about."
At present, the only person who can bring hope to Jia Xu is Dong Zhuo, who is also from Liangzhou.
Li Jue hurriedly said: "The emperor's family affairs are actually equivalent to state affairs."
Jia Xu has been living in his hometown of Liangzhou for many years, and has always lived a relatively comfortable life without fighting against the world. However, the Yellow Turban Uprising and the rebellion of Bian Zhang, Beigong Boyu and others in Liangzhou made Jia Xu feel unprecedented.
crisis.
Liu Jian leaned forward and said, "Why is Dong Sikong so concerned about King Chen Liu? If I hadn't understood Mr. Dong as a person, I would have thought that Mr. Dong wanted to abolish the throne, haha!
"
He is a person who can see through phenomena to see the essence, and his vision is very precise.
That means the world may be in chaos.
Then, he can continue to judge what route he should take next based on the current situation.
Jia Xu was also born as a filial and honest person, but why did he return home after claiming illness after staying in Beijing for a while?
Some people may ask, if you want to protect yourself wisely, why do you need to make suggestions for Dong Zhuo? Just say nothing.
This is equivalent to giving Dong Zhuo some time to rectify Luoyang City.
This time, asking Dong Zhuo to contact Liu Jian, a clan member of the Han Dynasty, was an important strategic step in gaining a foothold in Beijing.
Once the Han Dynasty fell apart and the country would be destroyed, would it have any impact on him, a Liangzhou native?
He first expressed Dong Zhuo's respect to Liu Jian, and then stated his purpose of coming.
Liu Jian said casually: "This matter of the Liu clan has its own integrity. Taichang and others have agreed with the emperor. Why should Dong Gong get too involved? It seems like he is meddling in the emperor's family affairs."
Even if he can save his family's lives in Liangzhou, once Liangzhou rebels like Han Sui and Bian Zhang come to conquer him, will Jia Xu agree to them or not?
If you agree, you will become a traitor. If you don't agree, your family's life will be in danger.
This is because Jia Xu has long seen through the nobles in Guandong!
As people from Liangzhou, it was impossible for him and Dong Zhuo to be accepted by each other. There was no chance at all!
Jia Xu next to him glanced at Liu Jian in surprise, and then immediately looked away.
Since Jia Xu intends to leave Liangzhou, given his current situation, he cannot allow Dong Zhuo to deviate at this time.
If Dong Zhuo cannot establish himself in Luoyang, what will happen to the Liangzhou people under his command once they are controlled by the Yuan family?
Even if they are not punished, they may be deported back to their place of origin.
Dong Zhuo himself was still dreaming, hoping to win the hearts of the scholars by rehabilitating Chen Fan, Dou Wu and the party officials, but in Jia Xu's view, this was nonsense.
Then, I heard Jia Xu gently clearing his throat.
Li Jue heard Jia Xu's voice and said: "Well, everything in the capital has not yet been decided. The return of King Chenliu and the queen to the capital can be postponed...Li came here on behalf of Dong Sikong, and there is another matter."
"Excuse me, Zhiran."
"I wonder what Liu Shijun's purpose is in stationing troops here?"
