Chapter 324: Evil people need to be tortured by evil people
To be honest, Liu Jian did not consider Yuan Shu to be a dish at first.
But now, he is beginning to gradually realize that no matter how much you look down on people, they will sometimes resort to tricks that make you at a loss.
To be honest, from Liu Jian's current perspective, it is not impossible to return Yuan Chong to Yuan Shu.
But he didn't want to do that.
One is for the public and the other is for the private.
For the public, Yuan Chong was the son of the Yuan family in Runan, a direct descendant of Yuan Ji's first family. With this child by his side, Liu Jian had a hunch that he would be of great use in the future.
Moreover, this child will also be a constraint for Yuan.
As for the personal side...
Again, if there is one person in this world that Liu Jian is most sorry for in his life, it is Yuan Ji.
Liu Jian is the overlord of one party, but he is also a human being.
A reasonably conscientious person.
Yuan Ji is dead, leaving only this bloodline.
If Yuan Chong is handed over to Yuan Shu, Liu Jian feels that the child's future may not be good.
In other words, from the moment he was handed over to Yuan Shu, the child had no future.
Therefore, Liu Jian had to find a way to fill the hole Yuan Shu dug for himself.
…
That evening, Liu Jian went to a small house next to his residence to visit someone.
Jia Xu lives here.
He still uses the name Ma Jie and lives under Liu Jian.
No official position, no status, nothing, just a temporary staff member.
On weekdays, when Liu Jian had nothing to do, Jia Xu was a leisurely person.
But if something happens to Liu Jian, then Jia Xu... is still a man of leisure.
It's just that he needs to make some plans and arrangements for Liu Jian at this time.
Liu Jian could not ask Jia Xu about daily political and military affairs.
But when it comes to this kind of conspiracy and conspiracy, people's hearts are sinister, and Jia Xu is a wiser being than Liu Jian.
Seeing Liu Jian coming to see him, Jia Xu hurriedly put down the book he was reading.
"Lord!"
Liu Jian was stunned on the spot by Jia Xu's title.
I'm really not used to him calling me that...
"Wen He, I came here today because I have something to ask for advice."
Jia Xu slowly knelt down towards Liu Jian and raised his hands to his forehead in a gesture of worship.
Liu Jian did not stop Jia Xu from recognizing his master, because he knew that worshiping his master this time was inevitable.
In fact, Jia Xu had already recognized Liu Jian as his master once before, but today he recognized him for the second time, which shows that he is sincerely surrendering to Liu Jian.
If his guess was correct, Jushou should have told him in Luoyang that Jia Xu's son had escorted Liu Yan's third son to Shu.
"Your son, Jia Mu, has left Luoyang. I must be relieved, sir, right?"
Jia Xu said: "My lord is true to his word and has not deceived Jia Xu. After leaving Luoyang, Quan Zi has secretly sent a message to me through the Duke and his subordinates. After the third son of Liu Yan arrives in Hanzhong, my son should leave.
He returned to Liangzhou to pick up his mother and took his relatives to meet me in Hebei."
Liu Jian heard this and said, "Are you still satisfied with my arrangement?"
Jia Xu sighed and said: "Jia Xu is a despicable person. I am very grateful to my lord for his kindness. In his life, Jia Xu does not seek fame, fortune, wealth and power. He only seeks peace in his life and good fortune for his descendants. That's all. Don't leave."
Ask for nothing else.”
Liu Jian nodded, then stretched out his hand and said: "Looking back, I will let you and your husband be responsible for keeping in touch with your son. When your family members pass through the Guanzhong, I will send someone from Hebei to help them, and try to get them in
Before being harassed by the Baibo Army, we retreated to Jizhou."
Jia Xu said with some worry: "The Bai Bo Army has fought several times with Xiang Guo's troops. Xu probably knows where they are moving, and my son Jia Mu also knows about it... But if you go to Hebei, I'm afraid you have to go through the jurisdiction of the Black Mountain Army.
The scope is indeed what Xu is most worried about.”
As soon as Jia Xu mentioned the words "Black Mountain Army", Liu Jian's face instantly showed a smile.
"If you are worried about anything else, I may not be able to do anything about it, but if you are worried about the Black Mountain Army robbing the road, there is no need. I will definitely make arrangements for you."
After saying these words, Jia Xu felt at ease.
He knew that Liu Jian was not a big talker. Since he said that there was a way to help him eliminate the hidden dangers of the Black Mountain Army blocking the road, there must be a way, and he did not need to ask more.
"My lord is so kind to me. Jia Xu is a cow and a horse, so he must repay my lord."
Liu Jian waved his hand and said: "It doesn't have to be like this. After your son Jia Mu arrives in Hebei, I will let him go to Guantao to be a county magistrate. Your wife and family members will also stay in Guantao with him."
After Jia Xu heard Liu Jian's words, he didn't react for a while.
So good, why do you want all your family members to go live in Guantao?
Logically speaking, shouldn't the family members of a general like himself be placed in Yecheng to ensure the loyalty of the hostages?
Facing Jia Xu's confused gaze, Liu Jian smiled.
"There is no need to doubt or worry. I have no other intention. I just placed your family in Guantao County because it is the southern border of Jizhou. Your family and you want to go from Guantao County to the Central Plains or
It is more convenient to travel to other prefectures and counties, and it is better than traveling within Jizhou."
After Jia Xu heard this, his face suddenly turned pale.
He hurriedly knelt down on the ground and said loudly to Liu Jian: "Jia Xu has no rebellious intentions! I have never dared to think so! My lord!"
Liu Jian bent down and reached out to help Jia Xu up from the ground.
"Wen He, don't be like this. I am not testing you, but I am sincerely thinking about you. I am not Dong Zhuo, and I will definitely not be too harsh on my subordinates."
"The reason why I let your family live in Guantao is to be able to take care of your ideals. You just said that in this life, you don't seek wealth, profit, or power, you only seek peace and tranquility for your whole family!"
"Now, I may be able to ensure that your family is safe in Hebei and that no one will harass you, but I can't guarantee that I will always do it..."
"The world is in chaos that has not been seen for a hundred years. If it continues like this, with heroes vying for the throne, maybe one day I will lose ground and be defeated..."
"Since you have taken refuge in my service and do not seek fame or fortune, but only seek peace and tranquility, then as your lord, I will naturally arrange an escape route for you."
"Xi Xuande, Yun Chang, Yi De, Zi Long, Gong Yu and others all share the joys and sorrows with me, advance and retreat together, life and death. If I succeed in a great cause, they will naturally be honored. If I fail,
Naturally, they will go to hell with me."
"It seems that you are different from them. You don't seek fame or wealth under my command, but just for the safety of your family. So I can only arrange it this way... So you don't need to think too much, just follow my arrangement.
Already."
"Whenever the day comes that I can no longer hold on, I will not let your whole family fall into the water with me. You, the Jia family, will go wherever they need to go."
When Jia Xu heard this, his usually calm face showed rare excitement.
Perhaps he had thought of thousands of possibilities for Liu Jian's arrangement of his family, but he had never thought of this one.
Jia Xu didn't say much. He just sighed and bowed to Liu Jian.
Later, Fang heard him ask: "My lord came here late at night, it's not just for this reason, right? If my lord has any doubts, just tell Jia Xu. As long as Jia Xu can do it, I will tell you everything."
.”
Liu Jian sighed: "There is really something I need to ask you for right now."
Later, Liu Jian repeated to Jia Xu what Yang Hong had said to him today.
After Jia Xu stopped, he didn't speak for a long time, but just lowered his head and thought carefully.
Liu Jian didn't bother him either.
Not long after, I heard Jia Xu speak: "My lord, I need to do two things now."
"What's the matter?"
"The first thing is that I heard that Yuan Shao recently recommended Yuan Shu as the father-in-law of the Yuan family in Runan. This matter has been widely spread throughout the world. Yuan Shao himself has also been praised by the scholars for this matter. Many people feel that Yuan Shao is doing it for his family.
He is willing to give in, but Yuan Shu does not know the importance and harms the interests of the family. The lord can respond to Yuan Shao on this matter. As long as Yuan Shu is pushed to the position of the father of the Yuan family in Runan, a huge rift will inevitably arise between the two Yuan, and conflicts will occur in the future.
Continuously, and the favored young master naturally has no need to return to the Yuan family in Runan to inherit the position of father-in-law."
Liu Jian nodded and said, "What about the second one?"
Jia Xu said with a smile: "If my lord wants to keep his beloved son in Hebei, he only needs to find a famous Confucian teacher for him and accept him as his disciple. Then he can be a disciple of Confucian classics. If he wants to keep his beloved son in Hebei, he will be Yuan Shu."
, then there is no way to refute it.”
"Teacher? Who can be Beloved's teacher? Who can also suppress Yuan Shu and make him shut up?"
"My lord, have you forgotten whose son-in-law you are?"
"My father-in-law, I'm afraid his seniority is inappropriate..."
"No, the person Xu is talking about is the son of Zheng Jingshen and the next generation leader of Zheng Xue. Zheng Yi is also the one."
