Chapter 236 Adopting Yuan Chong for the sake of a friend
Chapter 236 For the sake of friends, adopt Yuan Chong
Yuan Ji touched his son's head and sighed: "This son is my only son and Deran's adopted son. I had a gentleman's agreement with Deran in the past. If one day something bad happens to Yuan, Deran
Now I will take care of my beloved son. This is the agreement between the two of us. As a subordinate of Deran, you should help me."
After that, the Yuan family said to Yuan Chong: "Go and salute Mr. Ju."
Although Yuan Chong was very young, he had a very good tutor. He hurriedly stepped forward, bowed to Ju Shou in a long salute, and said to Ju Shou: "Yuan Chong pays homage to Mr. Yuan Chong."
Although he still speaks in a babyish voice, he has more or less formed the prototype of a young man from a family of etiquette, which shows the excellent education he received.
Ju Shou returned the gift to Yuan Chong, and then said: "Ju understands what Situ is thinking, but Ju came to Luoyang alone. If he takes another child out of the city at this time, he may not be able to succeed.
"
"After all, since the Xiliang sergeants are ordered to garrison the gates of Luoyang, they must be under strict supervision. Even though I am Liu Shijun's envoy, I must be subject to interrogation by them."
When Yuan Ji heard this, he suddenly fell silent.
Yes, although he had made up his mind and really wanted to entrust the child to Liu Jian, if he wanted Ju Shou to transport the child out of Luoyang by himself, it seemed a little difficult if he thought about it carefully.
But Yuan Ji was still unwilling to accept the matter. He asked Jushu: "Mr. Ju, is there really nothing we can do?"
Jushou saluted Yuan Ji and said, "Please Mr. Yuan, please think again."
After saying that, he frowned and started thinking.
Yuan Ji did not urge him and allowed Ju Shou to plan the matter carefully.
When he was young, Fang heard Jushu slowly speak: "It's not that there is no way, but I don't know if Mr. Yuan is willing or not?"
Yuan Ji hurriedly said: "Please tell me in detail."

The next day, Jushou left Luoyang and marched quickly toward the location of Liu Jian's troops.
Since Jushou went to Luoyang, Liu Jian's marching speed has also become very slow. Things in Qingzhou can be slowed down, but matters related to him in Luoyang must be dealt with clearly.
Soon, Jushou rushed to Liu Jian's army and conveyed Yuan Ji's request to him.
After listening to Jushou's message, Liu Jian's mood became quite uncomfortable.
No matter what the strategic position between him and Yuan Ji is now, and no matter whether he and Yuan Ji have conflicts in political stance, there is no doubt that Yuan Ji is his good friend, a very good friend.
.
Although it was indeed a joke to accept Yuan Chong as his adopted son at first, now that Yuan Ji has spoken to him, Liu Jian cannot refuse him.
It's not for fame or profit, it's just for this sincere friendship.
When a man lives in this world, he can't just focus on wealth and fame. Although that is also very important to a man, when your friend really wants to entrust you with something big and important, you have to help him.
There must be a dark side, but there must also be a bright romance.
Liu Jian walked back and forth in the commander's tent and said: "Yuan Shiji and I have a friendship. I can't save him now, but it is reasonable to save his descendants. It's just that Luoyang City is now closed, and there are people everywhere in the city.
Spies and high-ranking people are not allowed to leave the city, so how can I bring out the nephew of the Yuan family?"
Jushou advised Liu Jian, "Don't worry too much. I came up with a solution when I was in Luoyang. As long as Mr. Yuan is willing to cooperate, it won't be difficult."
"Oh?" Liu Jian was immediately shocked when he heard this, and immediately asked: "What is your opinion? Please speak frankly."
Jushu said: "Now that Dong Zhuo has become the prime minister, imprisoned the courtiers, and controlled Luoyang, there is only one last thorn in the side, which is Zhang Yi. I predict that Dong Zhuo will have to fight Zhang Yi in the near future. Although Zhang Yi's power is not as powerful as Dong Zhuo
, but after all, the governor of Bingzhou is an elite general, and the Xiliang army may not be able to capture him at once, so you can send someone to Luoyang to ask Dong Zhuo to advise His Majesty on Zhang Yi's rebellion."
"Then the envoy will suddenly turn around and attack Zhang Yi together with Dong Zhuo. Regardless of whether Zhang Yi can be defeated or not, as long as he takes advantage of this opportunity to return to the army, Dong Zhuo will definitely be grateful to the envoy. Then I will go to Luoyang as the envoy.
When the Xiliang army and the Bingzhou army are fighting, Dong Zhuo and others' attention is not on the minister, I may be able to bring out the young master of the Yuan family."
Liu Jian carefully considered Ju Shou's advice and found that this was indeed a feasible solution.
"But after all, Zhang Yi is an old official of the Yuan family. I am following the emperor's order to return the army to attack him. It does not hinder the righteousness. It depends on how the Yuan family views this matter."
Jushu said: "I also discussed this matter with Mr. Yuan when I was in Luoyang. Now Mr. Yuan is restricted in his actions. He only wants to send his children out of the city. As long as the young master of the Yuan family can be safely delivered to the envoy,
Even if Zhang Yi is sacrificed as a chess piece, Mr. Yuan will admit it!"
"well……"
When Liu Jian heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said nothing.
For Yuan Ji, there is nothing wrong with sacrificing the chess piece Zhang Yi for the life of his own child.
But after all, Zhang Yi braved the disdain of the world and led his troops to come to listen to the Yuan family's orders.
If you say give up, give up...
Is this the way a well-dressed and wealthy family behaves?
Forget it, these are not things Liu Jian should think about.
He looked at Jushu and said, "In this case, I have to bother you to return to Luoyang again and do something with him."
Jushou said hurriedly: "Here!"
Zhang Fei on the side curled his lips: "Then it's not like Yuan Ji doesn't have his own brothers. Why does he have to entrust the child to my brother?"
Liu Jian, Ju Shou, Liu Bei, Shen Pei and others all smiled bitterly and remained silent.
By now, they have understood that Yuan Ji or Yuan Wei were not the ones who instigated Ding Yuan.
Then besides the two of them, who could be the one who could direct Ding Yuan to raise troops to attack him?
it goes without saying.
…
…
As expected, Dong Zhuo soon had a direct conflict with Zhang Yi of the Bingzhou Governor's Department.
Zhang Yi himself was arranged by the Yuan family to station troops outside the capital to oppose Dong Zhuo. After Ding Yuan's death, Zhang Yi, who had become a lone soldier in Dong Zhuo's eyes, naturally had to deal with it.
This is a battle that will inevitably be launched.
So, the two sides found a small reason and started to fight.
Of course, in terms of justice, Dong Zhuo is definitely more tenable than Zhang Yi. As the emperor personally appointed him as the prime minister of the country, he can directly label whoever he wants to be a rebel.
Even if the ministers in the court do not agree, they are helpless in the face of absolute moral control.
After all, Dong Zhuo now holds the most advantageous public opinion weapon!
However, Dong Zhuo miscalculated only one thing.
He originally thought that with the Xiliang Army's elite soldiers and generals, it would be a piece of cake to merge the state army.
But he never expected that the combat power of Bingzhou Army would be unusually high.
He sent Hu Zhen and Niu Fu to lead the Xiliang army to attack the Bingzhou army, but they were defeated by the Bingzhou army twice and even lost several Xiliang Sima.
The person who led the Bingzhou army to confront the Xiliang soldiers was Zhang Yi's Wu Meng, Lu Bu.
Over the years, as Lu Bu was promoted by Zhang Yi, there were also warriors such as Song Xian, Wei Xu, Hou Cheng, Hao Meng, Cheng Lian, and Wei Yue. Although they were not as good as Lu Bu, they were all year-round fighting with Xianbei and Bingzhou border counties.
The rebellious Xiongnu was a figure who fought all year round.
In fact, with the combat power of the Xiliang Army, it is impossible to defeat the Bingzhou Army, especially in terms of numbers, the Xiliang Army far exceeds the Bingzhou Army, so Dong Zhuo did not dispatch the entire army, but just let Hu Zhen and Niu
The two auxiliary troops went to fight the enemy.
But the defeat was due to Niu Fu and Hu Zhen's underestimation of the enemy. They did not think that Zhang Yi's Bingzhou Army was powerful.
Therefore, the brave Lu Bu taught the two of them a vivid lesson.
The Bingzhou Army used their strength to let Hu Zhen and Niu Fu know the price of despising the enemy.
Hu Zhen and Niu Fu were severely defeated by Lu Bu, so they had no choice but to return to Luoyang and ask Dong Zhuo for reinforcements.
The battle that he thought was a sure win was ended by these two men, which made Dong Zhuo very embarrassed. If they were not too close to him, Dong Zhuo would have killed both of them.
But it was at this moment that Jushou came to Luoyang again to meet Dong Zhuo and proposed to the other party that Liu Jian was willing to send some troops back to Luoyang to attack Zhang Yi with Dong Zhuo.
Of course, Jushou asked Dong Zhuo to issue a clear edict summoning Liu Jian to lead troops to fight against the thieves, so as to ensure Liu Jian's justice in helping Dong Zhuo attack and kill Zhang Yi.
Dong Zhuo was very happy to learn that Liu Jian had not gone too far and was willing to help him deal with Zhang Yi. He naturally agreed to Ju Shou and expressed his gratitude to Liu Jian through him.
Although he believed that the Xiliang Army could still defeat the Bingzhou Army, based on the current combat strength of the Bingzhou Army, they might suffer considerable losses.
By asking Liu Jian to send some of his soldiers to flank Zhang Yi's troops, the losses can be minimized.
At this time, Liu Jian had not gone far, but most people felt that he would never come back, so Zhang Yi must have neglected to guard against the rear.
This is tantamount to a sure-win situation.
In addition, Jushou also made a request to Dong Zhuo, that is, Liu Jian's family left in Luoyang in a hurry and left a lot of belongings behind. He hoped to transport the family's private property out of Luoyang for Liu Jian.
Dong Zhuo benefited from Liu Jian, so naturally he would not object to this trivial matter.
Besides, the things belonging to the Liu Mansion were originally his own, so this favor was really a smooth one.
Just as Dong Zhuo began to prepare for the second round of attack on the Bingzhou Army, his subordinate Li Su again advised Dong Zhuo, hoping to persuade Lu Bu to surrender on Dong Zhuo's behalf.
At that time, we can attack from both inside and outside and win in one fell swoop.
Dong Zhuo was overjoyed when he heard this.
In the past, he had met Lu Bu during the Northern Expedition to Xianbei and was deeply impressed by him.
Speaking of which, Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu had some friendship.
Now this person is in the military force of Bingzhou. If you conquer him and then annex Zhang Yi's Bingzhou governor's department, your military strength will be even higher.
