Chapter 204: Li Dao sent his son as a hostage
Jia Xu listened to Li Wei's words and said with a smile: "What, don't you want to go to Hedong?" Want to stay in the Western Regions? ”
Li Wei accompanied the smiling face and said, "Yes, I have been in the Western Regions for a long time, and I am really a little reluctant to leave." ”
Jia Xu shook his head and said, "It's not that you are reluctant to leave, right?" He sighed and sighed: "I understand your thoughts, I am afraid that you will not have a place in the Fujiao Army, no matter what, Dong Zhuo's business...... It will still have some influence on you, for fear that someone will say some rumors, so I have to stay in the Western Regions. ”
Li Wei sighed slightly and nodded, Dong Zhuo's matter did have some impact on him, he sold Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo died because of this, if he entered the Fujiao Army, he didn't become a big official immediately, it was nothing, and it would not cause others to be jealous, but he went to be a captain in Hedong, and suddenly became a big official, and the generals in the Fujiao Army will definitely have some people dissatisfied with this, which is unavoidable.
So he became a captain in Hedong, I'm afraid it won't be very comfortable, and if someone gives him a halberd, then his career will be a captain in Hedong, it doesn't matter if he can't be promoted, if he is demoted, wouldn't it be bad!
But it doesn't matter if you stay in the Western Regions, Li Wei has a way to control the Western Regions, as long as Li Qin hints, he can assassinate the long history of the Western Regions and take all the Western Regions into the palm of his hand, then he will become the supreme governor of the Western Regions, and naturally he will not be afraid of others gossiping.
Jia Xu understood Li Wei's thoughts, he said: "Our Fujiao Army is expanding too fast, there are many things, it would be good if you stayed in the Western Regions, it saved a lot of trouble, and you are the main general of one side, except for Ah Qin, you don't have to look at other people's faces, you are at ease, it's good." Of course, you have to look at Ah Qin's face, who called him your boss! ”
Li Wei smiled bitterly: "Where did Jia Juncheng come from, Li Lang's face is what I have to see, if I don't let me see it, I won't be comfortable, besides, Li Lang is righteous, since the day he saw me, he has never given me an ugly face, if I am not satisfied, can I still call it a person!" ”
Jia Xu patted Li Wei on the shoulder and said, "I'll go and tell Ah Qin about this, I will ensure that it can be done, you can rest assured!" You are in the Western Regions, guarding the Silk Road for Ah Qin, if Li Lang has any further development in the future...... Well, that's all for later! ”
Li Dao sighed and whispered: "Jia Juncheng, will Li Lang enter Beijing to be a general, for me to be the pinnacle of military generals?" Now the position of the general of my dynasty is vacant, looking at the whole dynasty, it seems that there is no one else who can get this position except Li Lang! ”
Jia Xu smiled and said: "Now the territory of our Fujiao Army, if you want to talk about it, there are three states, Liangzhou, Bingzhou, the Western Regions, and the entire northwest region, but they are all our world...... There has to be another opportunity to succeed, let's talk about this ourselves, don't tell outsiders, you can make others laugh in vain! ”
Li Wei hurriedly said: "I know, I understand this." ”
The two of them said something else, and Jia Xu went to talk to Li Qin about Li Wei.
Li Qin is busy, after separating the belongings, he doesn't have to do trivial things, but he has to take Liu Jiu's movements seriously. And these days, like the price of flow, Liu Jiu's news has been put on Li Qin's desk one after another.
Liu Jiu returned to the grassland with his headquarters of soldiers and horses, although the Western Regions are large, but Jiele Beach is the road he can't avoid, this is the place where he must go, and behind Jiele Beach, is the territory of the Xiongnu Shan Yu, and Liu Jiu's half of his life, the main enemy is the Xiongnu Shan Yu, and the same Xiongnu Shan Yu is the person who is most looking forward to dying quickly, it is also Liu Jiu.
Liu Jiu cautiously arrived at Jiele Beach, and on the first day, the Fujiao scout sent the news to Li Qin, and explained that Xiongnu Shan Yu had already led his troops south, and was marching to Jiele Beach, and would meet Liu Jiu when he first came out of Jiele Beach.
Li Qinjing waited for the second news, and the news came quickly, in order to pass through Jiele Beach safely, Liu Jiu ordered all the old and sick horses to be slaughtered before entering the desert, so as to make the marching food sufficient, and made simple skins from horse skins to hold water, and the Huns of the Nine Tents Department were busy with this.
The third news came, Liu Jiu entered Jiele Beach, and the Xiongnu Shan Yu's soldiers and horses had already approached the desert, but did not enter, just waited on the edge, the Xiongnu Shan Yu's actions were faster than expected, it seems that Shan was planning to solve the Nine Accounts Department at one time.
The fourth news came again, Liu Jiu came out of Jiele Beach, encountered the army of the Xiongnu soldier Shan Yu, and began to fight.
So far, the fifth news has not yet come, the specific situation of the battle between the two armies, the scouts have not had time to send back, Li Qin can only wait.
Jia Xu entered Li Qin's big tent, and when he saw Li Qin in a daze at the map, he said: "Ah Qin, but I'm still thinking about Liu Jiu and Shan Yu, who can win?" ”
Li Qin said: "I don't have to think about it to guess the result, it must be Shan Yu to win, the question is how big Liu Jiu's loss is, and how much Shan Yu's power will expand after defeating Liu Jiu, this is all for me to worry about." ”
Jia Xu nodded and looked at the map as well. Liu Jiu was defeated, this has been basically determined, but whether the Nine Accounts Department will disappear because of this, and whether Liangzhou and Bingzhou will be threatened by Liu Jiu in the future, this is the key. If Liu Jiu is finished, then after Shan Yu's power rises sharply, will he take over Liu Jiu's territory and continue to threaten Li Qin's territory, this is the second key!
After looking at the map, Jia Xu said: "Wait for the scout to send the news back, and it will be too late for us to make a decision, not something to decide immediately!" ”
Li Qin smiled: "I also know this, but if I know the result a moment earlier, my heart can be more stable." By the way, what do you have to tell me? I see that Li Dao pulled you away, it should be that he has something to tell me, right? ”
Jia Xu said: "Yes, it's his business. Li Dao wants to stay in the Western Regions and take Dong Zhuo's place, what do you think? ”
Li Qin was a little silent, Li Dao in history belongs to a person who has no big retribution, after Dong Zhuo was killed by Lu Bu, he even wanted to flee back to Liangzhou to be a small common man, if it wasn't for Jia Xu's idea, Li Dao didn't have the idea of crusading against Lu Bu, and later after Li Dao took control of Sizhou, he made peace with Emperor Xian, and returned the royal things, although he doubted this, doubted that, tenacious and aggressive, but he never had any great development.
For Li Qin, this kind of person is the easiest to reassure him, because what Li Wei thinks and what he does can't hide from him at all, and it is easy for him to control it.
Seeing him consider, Jia Xu was a little hesitant, so he said: "Li Dao, this person, has the courage to fight, but he has no hegemonic spirit, I think he always wants to hug other people's thighs, and he doesn't have the idea of becoming his thighs for others to hold, so let him stay in the Western Regions, which can be regarded as a good candidate." As for the word "rest assured", in fact, you don't have to worry about him, on the contrary, he may not worry about you, he is afraid of having conflicts with our generals, so he will not go to Hedong, what he is afraid of is that others will say bad things about him in front of you, so as long as you use a little trick against him, he will follow you with all his heart. ”
Li Qin said: "What you say is a bit contradictory, if he doesn't worry about me, wouldn't it be easy to rebel, and if I use a little trick against him, won't he rebel faster." ”
Jia Xu shook his head and smiled: "No, no, no." As long as you ask him to hand over a hostage to you, he will feel at ease, thinking that as long as his hostage is in the Fujiao army, you will not touch him, so that if you let him rebel, he will not make it. Some people just like to be cheap, and you, a relative brother, happen to be the best among them. ”
"My relative, but it's your relative, you're embarrassed to say that he is cheap!" Li Qin said with a smile.
Jia Xu said: "Leave this to me, you can concentrate on waiting for Liu Jiu's news!" After that, he went out of the account and went to find Li Dao again.
Li Qin looked at the map again, sighed, and then waited for the news, he was irritable, as if he was holding his breath in his heart, and he couldn't stretch it out.
Jia Xu found Li Dao again, and saw that Li Dao was the same as Li Qin, and he was also irritable. As soon as Li Wei saw Jia Xu coming, he hurriedly greeted him, closed the door, and said, "Jia Juncheng, Li Lang has agreed?" "I was so nervous that my eyes were discolored and a little blue.
Jia Xu said: "Ah Qin agreed, but ......"
Li Wei hurriedly said: "But what, but Li Lang has something to worry about me?" ”
"No, no, Ah Qin is very trustworthy to you, after all, you are his own relative, no matter how you are his brother, he doesn't worry about you, who else can he rest assured! But what about ......" Jia Xu paused slightly, and then said, "I heard that you have a son?" ”
Li Dao was stunned for a moment, and muttered: "I have several sons, I don't know which one Jia Juncheng is asking?" ”
Jia Xu smiled and said, "Which one do you say I'm asking?" Let me tell you, Li Lang has a beloved nephew named Ma Chao, but Ma Chao lacks playmates and is very lonely, if you have a son, why don't you let Ah Qin take it back and be a brother with Ma Chao since childhood, what do you think? Or when Ah Qin has a son in the future, wouldn't it be good for your child to be a personal guard for the young master? ”
Li Wei suddenly understood that this was a hostage, and he had to give his son to Li Qin, nominally to raise him on his behalf, but in fact, if he was not honest, his son's life would be lost!
Hearing that he was going to take hostages, Li Dao was relieved, as long as he didn't rebel, the son was not in the slightest danger, on the contrary, his son was in Li Qin's hands, but he could get Li Qin's trust, which was a good thing. Besides, if his son can be brothers with Li Qin's son since he was a child, then when he grows up, he will naturally have a bright future, and this deal will be done.
Li Dao said: "My sister-in-law, named Li Shi, is born to my wife Yang, very doting, I am afraid that this child will grow up to become a gentleman, but I am not good at teaching, always reluctant to scold, so let it go, this child will become a rotten wood, in order to let the child grow up, I dare to ask Li Lang to teach, I don't know if Jia Juncheng can beg Li Lang on his behalf, ask him to agree?" ”
Jia Xu smiled and said: "Okay, I don't have to ask Ah Qin, I can be the master, no matter what, I am Ma Chao's master, and I will also be Ah Qin's son's master in the future, why not take more students." Your son, I'll take it away! ”
