Chapter Ninety-Seven: Qiu Liju Continued
In fact, it is also to Tian Chou, Qiu Liju will tell these sincere words, he really regards him as a person who can open his heart, although there are many reasons why it is difficult for Tian Chou to get involved in the affairs of the Karasuma people, Tian Chou is also very clear about this, so he still feels a little guilty in his heart, whether he is too sorry for this old friend.
But thinking about it again, his intentions may not be pure, and the starting point is more for himself, but judging from the results, this matter is actually not bad for Qiu Liju, because he knows that Qiu Liju is just a sharp blade driven by Yuan Shao, if he can persuade him, it will be good for Lu Bu, for himself and for him, so he dispelled this idea and first comforted Qiu Liju, which is nothing more than saying, "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, this is the ancestral training of our Han people, there is some reason, the king of Khan should not worry too much, as long as the king of Khan himself cherishes, The body is healthy and the heart is stable, even if there is some competition, it will not cause the situation to get out of control", but it somewhat calmed Qiu Liju, who has always admired Han culture, in his heart, at least there was a little less sorrow between his eyebrows.
Then Qiu Liju smiled and said to Tian Chou: "After listening to Mr.'s words, this king feels a lot better, it seems that what the Han people say, reading makes people understand is not a lie, but this king does not have the time and energy." ”
"Hehe," Tian Chou smiled faintly and said: "In fact, those truths in the book are just summarized by the predecessors of my Han people from the trivial things in their lives. ”
Qiu Liju seemed to be very useful for Tian Chou's flattery, and it was at this time that Tian Chou finally asked: "Oh, Chou is a little curious. Why is King Khan not in the Wuhuan Mountain Royal Court at this time, and how can he appear in this Jizhou land? After asking, he seemed careless, but in fact he was a little nervous.
This is not the first time he has encountered this kind of scene, whether it is to go to the imperial capital of Luoyang on behalf of Liu Yu before, or two years ago he has made many envoys to Karasuma, he should be very experienced, but this time he doesn't know why, he is particularly apprehensive, maybe this also has something to do with his eagerness to succeed more than usual every time.
In such a state of mind, Qiu Liju's every move and demeanor changed at all. Nature is infinitely magnified in Tian Chou's eyes. Being understood and deliberately explained, of course, this may not be all correct, but Tian Chou does not hesitate to think about the worst, so that at least he has a mental preparation just in case. Don't be caught off guard.
Of course, on the surface he didn't reveal the slightest. is still a calm and gentle and elegant posture.
And this is what Qiu Liju admires most about him. Although he is a Karasuma man, he also knows that it is impossible for people to really be the same as they are on the outside, and he is a smart person, so he can naturally guess that Tian Chou has a different purpose here. I don't know what he did.
Listening to Tian Chou's question, Qiu Liju glanced at him deeply, and said with an inexplicable smile: "This king also heard that Mr. was originally reported missing when Liu Youzhou's son died, but he was a little curious about where he went; And now it's the time of his funeral, why is he here again? ”
For the current Youzhou Mu (in fact, he is also self-proclaimed) Gongsun Zhan, Qiu Liju can't look down on it in his heart, the two have dealt a lot, but they are basically on the battlefield, after all, Gongsun Chan is not like Liu Yu to take gentle measures against the Hu people and can achieve success and prestige, he has only one way to deal with the Hu people, that is, war, and this is a natural contradiction with Qiu Liju, so Qiu Liju still only recognizes Liu Yu as a Youzhou Mu.
Of course, for Tian Chou, his question is the key, hearing these words, his heart suddenly tightened, although he said in front of Lu Bu that this matter will not affect Qiu Liju's perception of himself, nor will it affect this mission, but it can only be said to increase Lu Bu's confidence in himself, and in fact, he has no bottom about it, and he deliberately avoided it before, and now the other party has taken the initiative to mention that it is naturally inevitable and must be faced, as for his own problems, he can be thrown away for the time being.
Tian Chou deserved to be Tian Chou, there was not the slightest embarrassment or hesitation on his face, and he immediately said: "There are some things that the King of Khan is not clear, so Chou should talk about it." Does the King of Khan know that Wenhou Lu Fengxian? ”
"Huh?" Qiu Liju looked puzzled, and didn't understand why Tian Chou had mentioned another person, but he still nodded and said: "Although this king lives outside the Saiwai, he also pays attention to some news in the Central Plains...... Is it related to him? ”
Tian Chou saw that he had successfully shifted his focus, and secretly apologized to Lu Bu in his heart, and then said: "What the King of Khan said is exact, in fact, the King of Khan does not know, when the young master was killed before, Chou was not present, but was trapped in the fire that suddenly broke out in the mansion, fortunately Wen Hou secretly covered the rescue in the secret agent near the Marquis of Xiangben's mansion, at that time Chou was roasted and smoked by the fire, although he was free to die, but fell into a coma, but when he woke up, the person had already arrived on the road, and when he arrived at the destination, he found that he was in this well. Shicai also heard from the scouts in the army of Wen Hou that he had discovered the team of the Khan King, so he came to meet the old man......"
Saying these words, Tian Chou didn't have the slightest psychological pressure in his heart, because this was originally a matter of death without proof, even if Yuan Shao or Gongsun Zhan knew, it was nothing, because their positions were opposite, and in this case, the part of their words aimed at the other party would always give people a feeling of disbelief; There is also Liu He, who can be believed, he is dead, and several henchmen like Tian Chou are no longer alive and cannot testify; As for the other party, Lu Bu, he is trying to help him, and it is impossible for him to dismantle his own platform, which means that basically the person who can expose Tian Chou's lies in front of Qiu Liju will not exist.
It is not easy to come up with such a statement in a short period of time, and his statement seems to have a lot of loopholes, such as how Lu Bu's secret agent met so coincidentally, but this is not a stubble that cannot be revealed, especially after the secret agent brought Tian Chou to Lu Bu, it can be completely explained that Lu Bu wanted to take the opportunity to recruit Tian Chou.
Of course, this is also because Tian Chou also pinched Qiu Liju's thoughts, so he dared to say this, he knew that Qiu Liju himself hated Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao, and the reason why he came this time was not because of Yuan Shao's wooing, but because Lu Bu himself had something attractive to him, for example, he had heard a news circulating in Hebei before, saying that when Lu Bu left Luoyang, he ransacked most of the Taicang and arsenal in Luoyang.
And it is said that the black mountain thief Zhang Yan, Shangdang Taishou Zhang Yang and others successively beheaded that Lu Bu, it is because of this that Yuan Shao once tentatively sent the general Han Meng to lead 10,000 people to invade the West River when Lu Bu and the Southern Xiongnu were in a stalemate, ostensibly under the banner of helping Lu Bu expel the Xiongnu, but in fact, while being able to help Yuan Shao avenge his personal revenge, he took the opportunity to take those things for himself, but unfortunately because the plan was aborted because he had already been discovered, the whole army was finally wiped out.
But if Qiu Liju can be seen that this attraction brings consequences that he can't afford, it is very likely that he will be able to retreat.
So he directly put Lu Bu on the table at the beginning, portraying Lu Bu as a person who has a life-saving grace for himself, even if the fundamental purpose is to recruit himself, so that it is understandable that he came to intercede for him this time, so that people will not have doubts; And Qiu Liju can also look at Lu Bu more rationally in terms of his relationship, and then he is explaining the benefits and disadvantages for him in detail, so that he will not be rejected by instinct.
It is not so simple to persuade a person to change his decision, especially like Qiu Liju, if there is no benefit in Jizhou, it is inevitable that he will be unwilling, so when the time comes, there must always be a sweet jujube sacrifice that can appease him, in this regard, Tian Chou does not dare to help him make decisions without Lu Bu's permission, but if Lu Bu does not need half of his blood, he will not mind if he can solve the immediate crisis, this aspect depends on Tian Chou's strategy.
