Of course Jia Xu would not think that Liu Jian wanted to kill him.
He guessed Liu Jian's intention just in an instant.
"What the general means is that after the last battle, both Niu Fu and Jia were captured alive by the general. Jia is a person of unknown reputation. Except for Dong Xiangguo, no one in the world cares about Jia's life or death.
Maybe even the Prime Minister himself won’t pay special attention to it, so the general is planning to fake Jia’s death?”
Liu Jian laughed and said: "It won't be difficult. After all, you are living in my camp as Ma Jie now. I will block your news from now on. As for Xi, who was captured alive in my camp in the previous battle."
Liang Bing, I will let some people out."
"But before letting them go, I will also find a way to spread rumors among them that you have been killed in the battle and Niu Fu was captured alive by me, so that they can return to Dong Zhuo with false news."
"I dare not say that the news of your death will always be hidden from Dong Zhuo, but as long as we plan well, no one will be able to find out in a short time, and during this period, you will be Ma Jie."
After thinking carefully for a long time, Jia Xu nodded calmly.
Indeed, following Liu Jian’s method is indeed feasible.
After all, I am usually not very eye-catching among the Xiliang army.
If anyone in the Xiliang army paid the slightest attention to Jia Xu, it was only Dong Zhuo, Niu Fu, Li Jue and a few others.
As long as he keeps a low profile enough now, with Liu Jian's current strength and the current level of chaos in the Central Plains, Dong Zhuo has no time to explore whether he is really dead or fake.
That's enough for him.
Finally, Jia Xu thought carefully for a while.
"The general means that if I "die", my son will be of little use in Luoyang City. If a suitable person is arranged to recommend him to escort Liu Yan's third son in Shuzhong, he can take the opportunity to leave Luoyang.
Yang, look for an opportunity to return to the ancestral home in Liangzhou, and then secretly take my family members to Hebei."
Liu Jian nodded with satisfaction.
Talking to smart people is not tiring.
However, Jia Xu still seemed a little worried. He asked Liu Jian cautiously: "But, even if Xu is "dead", how can we get Dong Xiangguo to agree to send Liu Yan's three children back to Shu? And even if Xiangguo is
After agreeing to repatriate, how could they happen to have my son escort them to the middle of Shu?"
Liu Jian said solemnly: "Don't worry about this, I won't hide it from you. I have my connections and channels in Luoyang. If I can make this official matter fall on your son, then
It will definitely fall on him."
Jia Xu is a person who understands current affairs very well. He asks questions about things that should be asked and things that shouldn't be asked without asking a single question.
Since Liu Jian is so sure, then it is possible.
After all, according to Jia Xu, Liu Jian is not the kind of person who talks nonsense.
I recall that when Liu Jian went to Luoyang, he had few connections. In just a few years, he became very popular in Luoyang City. He was promoted to Liu Hong, Yuan Ji and Yuan Shu, to Cao Cao's Yinxiu, and to the Yueqi camp.
I did make a lot of connections in Luoyang City.
Among these connections, many people are still working in Luoyang.
Therefore, after a little analysis, we can know that Liu Jian is indeed capable of promoting this matter.
Jia Xu said: "The general is so kind and righteous. If Jia Xu can't give advice, he may be betraying the general!"
"Wen He, do you have any good advice?"
"I don't dare to take advice. I just want to help the general plan the next war. According to Jia's understanding of the prime minister, after Niu Fu's defeat, the prime minister must be hesitant at this time. He wanted to make peace with the general, but he couldn't lose face.
, so the general will definitely be sent to attack the general in the future who can conquer the war. As long as the general can win the next wave of attacks! The prime minister will definitely take the initiative to seek peace with the general, and then the general will have the upper hand."
Liu Jian's face turned cold: "I avenge Brother Yuan, and I am at odds with Dong Zhuo. How can we make peace with him?"
Jia Xu was originally quite optimistic about Liu Jian, but now Liu Jian looked like this, and Jia Xu began to murmur secretly in his heart:
Is this an act?
It must be pretending.
Stop, stop pretending! If you pretend too much, it will be exposed! It’s almost done!
But on the face of it, Jia Xu still said respectfully: "The general and Yuan Shiji have a deep brotherhood. This matter has been heard all over the world. The general avenged Yuan Shiji and raised troops to attack Dong. The name of benevolence and righteousness has spread all over the world. Even if Yuan Shiji has a spirit in heaven, he must still
I am relieved to know that although Yuan Shiji was killed at the hands of the Prime Minister, there was actually a secret plot! Yuan Shiji was killed at the hands of the Prime Minister, and the real murderer is known to the general."
Liu Jian did not answer.
Jia Xu didn't try to persuade him much, and changed the subject again: "The general is good at using troops. He must have known that. Who will the prime minister send to fight with the general?"
Liu Jian said: "The scout reported that Dong Zhuo sent Hu Zhen as the guardian of the capital, and Lu Bu and Hua Xiong as the left and right governors. The three troops have left Nanyang border county and are rushing here. I am worried now, fearing that Yanjin will not be enough.
But if we go to the Central Plains, where should we station our troops?"
Jia Xu said: "The troops led by Hu Zhen, Lu Bu and Hua Xiong are mostly elite cavalry. If the general wants to fight with these three in the field, he will definitely be defeated."
Although Jia Xu's words made Liu Jian feel quite unhappy, he also knew that what the other party said was true.
If our own soldiers and horses were to engage in a field battle with those three troops in the plains, they would be defeated, and they might easily be overrun and annihilated.
Therefore, it is still very necessary to find a strong city and defend it.
"It's just, where should I go?" Liu Jian frowned.
Jia Xu said: "All the fortified cities in the Central Plains are now in the hands of a group of pastoral guards who are against Dong Zhuo, such as Liu Dai, Zhang Miao, Qiao Mao, Bao Xin and others. The general can send troops to join them.
, and then use the city to defend it, and then take the opportunity to defeat Hu Zhen, Lu Bu and others."
When Liu Jian heard this, he objected at that time.
"These people conspired with Yuan Shao to attack Dong Zhuo. They are actually the leaders of causing trouble in the world. I swear not to associate with these people!"
After hearing Liu Jian's words, Jia Xu seemed to have no reaction at all.
It seems that Liu Jian's reaction was within Jia Xu's expectation.
He said slowly and calmly: "Since the general is unwilling to join forces with these people, Jia will recommend another person to the general."
"who?"
"General, why don't you join forces with Chen Wang Liu Chong?"
"Prince Chen?"
Jia Xu nodded and said: "During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, King Chen began to gather refugees to form an army and build weapons, especially crossbows. It is said that King Chen ordered the craftsmen of Chen State to build many of them. When Yuan Shao raised his army, it is said that this man also led
The army was stationed in Yangxia and he claimed to be a general assisting the Han Dynasty. Although he did not know what his intention was to target the prime minister and return a group of pastoral guards, there was no doubt that this person also wanted to stir up chaos. However, this person was a clan member of the Han Dynasty after all.
You and the general are of the same blood as the Liu family, so the two of you join forces to suit the current situation."
Liu Jian suddenly slapped his forehead and thought to himself: Yes! How could he forget such an important prince and king?
"It's just that I have never interacted with Liu Chong. I have no idea what this person's character is, whether he is trustworthy, and whether he is sincere in helping the Han people."
Jia Xu said calmly: "At this time, the general does not ask whether King Chen is sincere in helping the Han Dynasty, but only asks whether he is powerful."
Liu Jian looked at him doubtfully.
"No matter what Liu Chong's character is, as long as the general is willing to join forces with him, Liu Chong will definitely be willing. In this world, he can refuse anyone, but he cannot refuse the general."
Liu Jian hurriedly asked: "Why?"
"During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Liu Chong recruited refugees from all over the world, and he and the Prime Minister Luo Jun organized the refugees into soldiers and horses, and also built weapons and equipment. Taking advantage of the troubled times, his power increased greatly. However, the ancestors had the system, and the princes and kings had no power to govern politics and military affairs, so they sealed the country.
Everything was entrusted to the prime minister, but Liu Chong took advantage of the chaos and went against the imperial court. No matter what his reasons were, he violated the ancestral system. Just because he dared to form his own army, the late emperor
Killing him a hundred times would not be too much, but it was at that time that the general advised the late emperor and gave the princes and kings in the world the power to open their own houses, so Liu Chongzhi's actions changed from disobedience to justice."
"Therefore, the general is Liu Chong's benefactor, and can even be said to be his savior. If King Chen still wants to be famous, he cannot ignore the general's request."
Liu Jian nodded suddenly.
Although he advised the emperor to open a palace for princes and kings in order to rectify the noble family, he did help Liu Chong invisibly, and it was known to the whole world. It would be really ungrateful for Liu Chong to reject him.
Therefore, whether Liu Chong wants it or not, he must accept himself.
"Then what? After Liu Chong and I join forces? How should we look at the situation?"
Jia Xu said in a calm tone: "Although Liu Chong is brave, he is old after all. The Chen State is located in the Central Plains, close to the Yuan family. The Chen State's elite soldiers and generals will be annexed by the Yuan family sooner or later. Instead of waiting for the Yuan family to annex them, it will be a waste of money."
It is better for the general to merge them first."
"No!" When Liu Jian heard this, he immediately became angry: "King Chen is my fellow sect, and he is also my uncle! How can I do such an unjust thing? This matter must never be done!"
Jia Xu looked at Liu Jian helplessly, and couldn't help but draw a question mark in his heart...
The way he looks now is probably just an act, right?
Are there really such kind and righteous people in the world?
It should be pretending...
It seems not...
Is it just pretending?
Tomorrow we start fighting Lu Bu Hua Xiong. I really can’t write the war part well. I just try to write it as decently as possible.
