Afterwards, Liu Jian stopped talking to Jia Xu about conquering him.
He ordered his soldiers to prepare meals and began to entertain Jia Xu.
Since he was at war, Liu Jian could not drink.
So he simply ate some military meals with Jia Xu and talked about some trivial matters at home.
During this period, Liu Jian never discussed his future future with Jia Xu.
After eating, Liu Jian ordered people to take Jia Xu back to his tent.
Liu Jian himself was resting in the handsome tent.
Not long after, Guan Yu was ordered to come and report to Liu Jian on the situation in the army and the transportation of grain and grass to the rear.
After listening to Guan Yu's words, Liu Jian immediately asked Guan Yu to sit down and talked with him about Jia Xu.
After listening to Liu Jian's words, Guan Yu couldn't help but feel a little confused.
"My brother spent so much effort to capture Jia Xu, and now he wants to let him go. Isn't this a waste of military power and manpower? Is my brother really willing to do this?"
Liu Jian shook his head and said: "Of course I am not willing to do so. I captured Jia Xu just to make him submit to me and become my right-hand man. This man is a rare resourceful man in the world. At the same time, other
I don’t have much roots in Kanto, so I need such a special person by my side.”
Guan Yu solemnly asked: "Brother, when it comes to wise men, you have many under your command. Is it possible that Jia Xu is the only one missing?"
Liu Jian shook his head and said: "You are right. In terms of intelligence alone, the people under my command are sufficient - Ju Shou, Tian Feng, Shen Pei, and now there is also Xun Yu who has come to submit to me from afar. With these people,
, even if there is no Jia Xu, it will not have any big impact."
"But Jia Xu's status is quite special. I have thought about it carefully. There are some things I can say to Jia Xu and some things I can discuss with Jia Xu, but others cannot."
Liu Jian's words made Guan Yu quite confused.
What words can my brother only say to Jia Xu? But not to other wise men?
This Jia Xu has not promised anything to his brother, so why does his brother want to make him his confidant?
Liu Jian obviously saw the confusion in Guan Yu's eyes.
He immediately explained to him: "Yunchang, Shenpei Jushou, Tian Feng and Xunyu are all Guandong scholars. Although they are also loyal to me, they also belong to the Guanzhong gentry group. They also have their family interests, and the Guandong gentry want to
There are too many benefits to be obtained. Once my future policies and decisions conflict with their interests, how can I discuss this matter with them?"
Guan Yu probably understood what Liu Jian meant.
"Brother, you want to keep Jia Xu to use it as a check and balance on the Kanto gentry?"
Liu Jian said: "It can't be said to be a check and balance. It's just that on how to deal with the Guandong gentry group, I don't have a resourceful person who can fully support me to discuss. With this person, I will no longer feel lonely, Jia Xu
They are from Liangzhou. Their family's interests are all in Liangzhou. But the so-called Liangzhou interests are simply negligible compared to the interests of the Guandong nobles."
Guan Yu seemed to be suddenly enlightened when he heard this.
"Brother, your thoughts are too far-reaching..."
Liu Jian said seriously: "It's not what I thought, Yun Chang, you have to know, what are our goals and ideals? It is to protect the Han Dynasty and maintain and prosper this country!"
"And in order to prosper the country, anyone may have opinions that match ours at some point!"
"So in order to prevent this situation, I must be fully prepared. We are not doing it for ourselves, we are doing it for the big man."
After hearing Liu Jian's answer, Guan Yu's face showed a look of awe.
"My brother cares about the country, which is beyond our reach."
Later, Guan Yu asked: "Brother said today that he wanted to send Jia Xu back, but why? What should I do if Jia Xu agrees?"
"He won't leave. In fact, he also knows in his heart that he will not be able to leave since he was captured alive."
Guan Yu heard this and said curiously: "My brother agreed to let him go, why can't he go?"
Liu Jian said: "Because he is a smart man, he knows better what kind of character Dong Zhuo is. Niu Fu's army was defeated, and Jia Xu led his troops a hundred miles away from Niu Fu's army. What is the arrangement? Do you think he will not be held accountable by Dong Zhuo after he returns?
?”
"Besides, if I let him go back without letting Niu Fu go, what do you think will happen to him?"
After Liu Jian's explanation, Guan Yu suddenly understood.
Later, Liu Jian said: "Jia Xu is also a smart man. In fact, he knows and can see that Dong Zhuo is incapable of realizing his ambition. He is too old. How many years does he have to achieve success?"
"So, when I spoke to Jia Xu today, I also revealed my ambitions. In today's world, apart from Dong Zhuo, there are only those who are ambitious, capable and capable, and are willing to reuse him, a Liangzhou native.
I’m afraid I’m the only one.”
"If he misses me, he may not have the chance to meet someone like me again in the future."
After Guan Yu heard this, he thought carefully and realized that this was really the case.
Besides Liu Jian, who else in the world knows this Jia Xu? And knows his abilities?
If not for Liu Jian's insistent request, Guan Yu would not have captured him.
…
At this moment, Jia Xu, who was staying in his tent, was also thinking carefully.
Liu Jian was indeed extraordinary. His conversation just now seemed like he didn't say anything on the surface, but in fact he spoke from the bottom of his heart.
Of course, Jia Xu was also moved. After all, he had already analyzed it clearly. Although Dong Zhuo seemed to have great potential at present, he had no foundation. There was no doubt that Dong Zhuo would be finished sooner or later.
From the current point of view, it is undoubtedly the best choice to take refuge under Liu Jian and obtain his protection.
Although Liu Jian just said that he would let him go back, Jia Xu knew in his heart that it was all nonsense.
Jia Xu also knew that Niu Fu had been captured, and if Niu Fu refused to leave, he might not have any good results if he went back alone.
But even so, Jia Xu did not relent, and refused Liu Jian on the grounds that his son was under Dong Zhuo.
But this was not because Jia Xu deliberately made things difficult for Liu Jian, but because this was a real reason.
Although Jia Xu cherishes his own life, he also cherishes the lives of his family members.
If there was no way to save his son Jia Mu, Jia Xu would rather sacrifice himself.
However, if Liu Jian had a way to get his son to leave Luoyang, Jia Xu would definitely be willing to join him.
Just when Jia Xu was thinking about the matter carefully, the curtain of the tent was suddenly opened, and Liu Jian stepped in.
"General? Why are you here?"
Jia Xu stood up in surprise.
Liu Jian smiled and said: "Mr. Wenhe, I have a way to save your son from Luoyang. I wonder if you would be willing to cooperate with me?"
I haven’t updated a bit in the past two days because I have to study in the evening and I will increase the number of words tomorrow.
