Chapter 85, Jia Xu will meet Li Ru
(Ask for a collection in the new week, if you have a ticket, of course, it's good, haha~)
At the same time, when Lu Bu was meeting in the mansion of Situ Wang Yun, a conversation was also going on in the mansion of Li Ru, the then imperial court lieutenant and general of Zuo Zhonglang, and also the son-in-law of Dong Zhuo, the first powerful minister in the world.
Opposite Li Ru, the man who sat casually and poured a glass of wine, served a few bites of side dishes, and then talked eloquently, who was Jia Xu?
Almost on the back foot of Lu Bu taking Lu Cui from the mansion, Jia Xu also left the Lu Mansion, the goal was naturally to come straight to the Li Mansion, of course, unlike Lu Bu riding a horse, he came on foot, although the distance between the two was not much different, so when Lu Bu arrived outside the Situ Mansion, Jia Xu was still in a hurry, in order not to attract attention, he was still alone, he looked very thin, and his face was hurried but calm.
And by the time Lu Bu had already begun to sit and drink in Situ's Mansion, as those main guests gradually gathered, and the banquet officially began with the approval of the host Wang Yun, Jia Xu had just arrived at the door of Li Confucianism and asked Menzi to report that he was ready to receive him, and he was not someone else, but the name of Zhang Liao of the Bingzhou Army, although Menzi wondered how this General Zhang - Zhang Liao had not been to Li Mansion before, and he didn't look like a general, but more like a scholar, but he naturally wouldn't be vague about this kind of thing, Then he was glad that he had made the right choice, because Li Ru personally came to the door to welcome the guests.
However, when he saw that it was Jia Xu, Li Ru was not surprised, but was puzzled, because although he had seen Jia Xu before, although they were not familiar with each other, and he knew very well that although Jia Xu had just reported the name of Zhang Liao, he had no relationship with Zhang Liao here, it must be for Lu Bu's affairs, in fact, Li Ru came out to meet because people contacted Lu Bu in the future, but he didn't know who it was.
If the Situ Mansion is going on a feast, then Li Ru's Mansion is like a small party, he and Jia Xu seem to be quite close to each other, chatting while drinking, there is no pause, but the conversation is all about geography, astronomy, natural avenues, which are regarded as sideways and strange and ingenious topics in the eyes of many literati outside, and the two of them seem to be guarding some kind of tacit understanding, and neither of them took the initiative to speak their inner thoughts first.
But although it is not broken, they are very clear to each other, and now is almost a time to be more patient, and the two people seem to be happy but are secretly competing.
But Jia Xu himself didn't come with the idea of competition, and even he just wanted to challenge Li Ru's patience, so the topic went around and around before and never got to the point, but when Li Ru didn't know whether he intentionally or unintentionally mentioned the birthday banquet of Situ Wang Yun, who was also quite high-profile in Luoyang today, Jia Xu knew that the time had come and he could start.
I saw him look at Li Ru and ask word by word, "Why didn't Wen You go to this banquet?" ”
Li Ru said with a smile: "Confucianism is the country, Wang Situ is the Son of Heaven, and the Tao is not the same...... but he said in his heart, is it finally going to "get to the point"?
Jia Xu's expression suddenly became stern, he looked outside, shook his head at Li Ru and said softly: "Li Wenyou, do you think that a person who coerces the Son of Heaven to order the princes and a tiger prison pass will win a big victory, and then the whole world will be your Dong family?" ”
Although Li Ru is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, he is not a son-in-law, and his surname is still Li instead of Dong, but Jia Xu's statement makes him seem to rely entirely on nepotism and relying on women to get to where he is today, which is naturally a great contempt for men, and the topic is still on the climate of Luoyang just now, this change is too fast and sudden, this topic is even a little excessive, but Li Ru is very sensible, he didn't even be stunned for a moment, just frowned and said: "Jia Wenhe, if you have something to say, Why all the twists and turns? ”…,
"I don't know what Wen You thinks, what is the prince's master?"
Li Ru glanced at him and didn't answer immediately, Jia Xu didn't mind, and continued to take care of himself: "Actually, Xu just thinks that the prince is not simple, and he doesn't have a good opinion of Wen You, but Dong Xiangguo, who is obedient to Wen You, has repeatedly disagreed with Wen You in this matter, and Wen You should also see your Dong Xiangguo's actions now, Wen You thinks that if he no longer listens to you, or even one day the prince will weigh too much Wen You in his heart, how should Wen You deal with it then?" ”
Jia Xu is by no means simply alarmist, because there is indeed this tendency now, but it is not Wang Yun who is becoming more and more important in Dong Zhuo's heart, but the entire family group, that is to say, this warlord Quanchen who started with the Xiliang Army seems to be gradually moving away from the group he started from in his heart, including Hua Xiong, Li Dao and others, including his son-in-law Li Ru, Hua Xiong and others may not feel so obvious as military generals, but Li Ru feels very clear.
Although Li Dao, Guo Yan and others are still entrusted by Dong Zhuo to be reused, and letting them be outside is also one of the strategies designed by Li Ru for Dong Zhuo at the beginning, but so far these troops have hardly come close to Luoyang within a hundred miles, not that they don't want to, but no one dares to act rashly without Dong Zhuo's order, is there not some Dong Zhuo's selfishness?
Dong Zhuo's yearning for the family has obviously become a psychologically suggestive bias, and it is impossible for Li Ru not to notice this, and it is precisely because of this that as soon as Jia Xu's words came out, his expression also changed several times.
Jia Xu said as if it was really like that, Li Ru also had to fall into deep thought, Jia Xu smiled slightly, this is just an appetizing dish, he is very clear that Li Ru is a scheming person, but his weakness lies in Dong Zhuo behind him, no matter how the next conversation is, no matter what attitude Li Ru has towards Lu Bu, but at least half of the purpose of his coming this time has been achieved so far.
At this time, Li Ru looked at Jia Xu and suddenly smiled, and said, "Did Lu Feng first let you talk about these places?" ”
Jia Xu shook his head, "Originally, Jia Mou came here to mean the general, but after reading Wen You, he felt that the general didn't need to say more to Wen You about going to Situ Mansion for a banquet. ”
Talking to smart people can sometimes be very laborious, but it is also easy to talk to each other on some issues, because it is easy for each other to understand the meaning, and there is no need to spread out everything to talk about, so there will be fewer taboos.
Li Ru's eyes were blazing, his eyes were burning, the corners of his mouth were hooked, and he leaned on the corner of the case with some oppression, "Jia Wenhe, Lu Fengxian may be a good general, but do you think he can be the master?" ”
"General Lu is still a general, at least he is doing a good job; Dong Xiangguo is already the master, how does Wen You think he is doing? ”
"......" Li Ru had to admit that this Jia Xu's mouth was indeed a little sharp, he shook his head, and some didn't want to continue the topic.
The words just now actually implied that he wanted to recruit Jia Xu, but Jia Xu also clearly refused, he suddenly thought that Lu Bu was not a showdown with himself, Jia Xu's visit was just his first move, and the next thing was to see how he took it.
This Lu Fengxian is really going to give people problems, but the question is what extra choices can he have now?
He rubbed his temples, drank another glass of wine, then put down the glass, and said, "The next thing about Lu Fengxian, Confucian...... I've never heard of ......."
Jia Xu suddenly smiled.
