Chapter 219: Jia Xu
Liu Jian has been staying by the Luo River for two days.
Although it was only less than two days, these two days were more important to Luoyang City than what had happened in the past two years.
The arsenal of Luoyang, Taicang, and the city defense of the Twelve Gates were all handed over, and the Xiliang army used their military deterrence to occupy all the lifelines of Luoyang City...... Soldiers and horses, grain and grass, and wealth and power are all like this.
Dong Zhuo didn't even go through the procedures of Shangshutai, everything was streamlined, and he didn't play according to the set of rules of the scholars at all.
The ministers headed by Yuan Kui dared to be angry about this...... But I don't dare to say it yet.
Subsequently, Dong Zhuo raised the matter of overturning the case for Chen Fan, Dou Wu and the party members in the court with lightning speed.
This move can be said to have caught the whole world by surprise.
Although the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty did not deal with this Western Lianghu, this matter was a major matter related to the face of the people of the world, and if there was any grudge with the people of Liangzhou, it would have to be calculated after this matter was resolved.
Dong Zhuo is very smart, he used the matter of overturning the case for the party to temporarily stabilize the interest of the people in Beijing and control the situation.
If the scholars want to overturn the case for the party, they have to acquiesce to Dong Zhuo's current identity.
This is equivalent to giving Dong Zhuo a period of time to rectify Luoyang City.
In addition, Dong Zhuo sent his Liangzhou warrior Li Dao as an envoy, and the scribe who had imitated He Jin's notes for him before as a deputy envoy to visit Liu Jian's military camp and find out the truth.
The deputy envoy was called Jia Xu, and he was forty years old.
When Jia Xu was young, he was investigated as filial piety, and then resigned due to illness, returned to his hometown to the west to reach Huangdi, and met the rebellious Di people on the way, Jia Xu deliberately lied that he was Duan Cheng's grandson, so that the other party let him go, which can be described as extremely good at self-preservation, but also very good at strategy.
After Dong Zhuo arrived in Liangzhou, he heard the name of Jia Xu, so he recruited Jia Xu and appointed him under Niu Fu.
Jia Xu has been living in his hometown of Liangzhou for all these years, and he has always lived relatively freely and has no quarrel with the world, but the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the rebellion of Bian Zhang, Beigong Boyu and others in Liangzhou made Jia Xu feel an unprecedented crisis.
That is, the world may be in chaos.
He is a person who can see through the essence of phenomena, and his vision is very poisonous and precise.
Jia Xu analyzed back and forth in his heart, and found that since the Yellow Turban Uprising and Liu Hong's death, the Han Dynasty has faintly fallen apart.
Once the Han Dynasty falls apart, the country will not be a country, will it have any impact on him, a Liangzhou person?
Of course it is!
Liangzhou was originally a place of frequent rebellions and wars.
When the court of the Han Dynasty was stable and the world was not chaotic, the ten counties of Liangzhou were already constantly at war.
The Qiang people and the Di people are afraid that they will compete to rebel, and at that time, every Han people living in Liangzhou will have a personal safety crisis.
Jia Xu is naturally no exception.
After some analysis, Jia Xu came to a conclusion, that is, he must leave Liangzhou with his closest relatives!
No matter what the chaos will be in the Central Plains once the world is in chaos, but at present, the most dangerous place is the border county of Liangzhou.
Even if he can save his whole family's life in Liangzhou, once a Liangzhou traitor like Han Sui and Bian Zhang comes to recruit him, will Jia Xu agree or not agree to them?
If you agree, you will become a traitor, and if you don't agree, you are afraid that your family will be in danger of your life.
Therefore, after talking with Dong Zhuo, Jia Xu immediately agreed to Dong Zhuo's expedition and entered his command.
As far as the current situation is concerned, Jia Xu has no one else who can take him and his family away from Liangzhou.
And although Dong Zhuo is a martial artist of the border county, after all, he is in a high position and has heavy troops, and Jia Xu can feel that Dong Zhuo has ambitions to go east to the Central Plains.
has both strength and the desire to leave Liangzhou, and at the same time has strong ability, such a person is a good haven for Jia Xu.
In particular, Jia Xu has no other choice for the time being, following Dong Zhuo and leaving Liangzhou is his only hope.
After arriving under Dong Zhuo's command, Jia Xu did not directly belong to Dong Zhuo's command, but asked for his life to assist Niu Fu's side.
This has a lot of benefits for himself, Jia Xu knows that although Dong Zhuo has enough troops and forces to protect himself, what he has to do is too big after all, Jia Xu doesn't want to become his direct subordinate, and under Niu Fu's command, he can hide his reputation.
But he can't completely hide himself if he continues, he still has to advise Dong Zhuo from time to time, give him advice, and let him take the right path.
Some people may ask, since you want to protect yourself, why do you still have to give advice to Dong Zhuo? It's good to say nothing.
Naturally, this is not the case, and the true meaning of self-preservation is not to be dumb, but to give advice to the people you assist at the right time and according to the situation.
Since Jia Xu intends to leave Liangzhou, with his current situation, he can't let Dong Zhuo deviate at this time.
After all, Jia Xu is also from Liangzhou, although he is capable, full of scheming, and still from a filial piety background, but a giant gate like the Yuan family will not take him seriously.
After all, most of the Central Plains people are prejudiced against the people of Liangzhou.
At present, the only person who can bring hope to Jia Xu is Dong Zhuo, who is also from Liangzhou.
If Dong Zhuo can't stand in Luoyang, once it is controlled by the Yuan family, what will happen to these Liangzhou people under his command?
Even if they are not punished, they are afraid that they will be driven back to their places of origin.
Therefore, in order for himself and his family not to be driven back to the dangerous place in Liangzhou, the top priority is to help Dong Zhuo establish a foothold in Luoyang.
Only Dong Zhuo has established a foothold in Luoyang, and Jia Xu, who is from Liangzhou, is qualified to stay in Kanto.
Only then can he continue to judge what route he should continue to take based on the current situation.
And this time, letting Dong Zhuo contact Liu Jian, a relative of the Han family, is an important strategy to gain a foothold in Beijing.
Dong Zhuo himself is still dreaming, hoping to win over the hearts of scholars by rehabilitating Chen Fan, Dou Wu and the people in the party, but in Jia Xu's opinion, this is simply nonsense.
Jia Xu is also from a filial piety background, but why did he stay in Beijing for a while and then call himself sick and return home?
This is because Jia Xu has long seen through the Kanto clan!
As Liangzhou people, he and Dong Zhuo will not be accepted by the other party at all, and they will not have the slightest chance!
The people of Kanto regard them as Liangzhou people like jackals!
Although he knew it in his heart, Jia Xu didn't tell Dong Zhuo that his plan was not feasible.
There are some things that can't be said clearly with his mouth, and if he says too much, it will only make Dong Zhuo have a problem with him.
Let Dong Zhuo touch the nails now, there are too many nails, and he touches a body of blood, and he naturally knows what is going on in his heart.
The effect of doing it is far more useful than what you hear.
But touching the nail is touching the nail, and the business still has to be done.
For example, when contacting Liu Jian, Dong Zhuo must not be left behind.
After Li Wei took Jia Xu to Liu Jian's military camp, after reporting his name, Liu Jian immediately summoned him.
Li Dao is Dong Zhuo's confidant and fierce general, although he is from a local heroic background, does not read scriptures, and has an arrogant personality, but he can also distinguish the importance from the heavy.
Seeing Liu Jian, Li Dao put away his past in Liangzhou and showed a lot of respect for Liu Jian.
He first expressed Dong Zhuo's respect for him to Liu Jian, and then stated his intention.
"King Chen Liu? Empress? ”
After listening to Li Ji's inquiry, Liu Jian's face showed a little doubt: "Jian doesn't know what Zhiran is talking about. ”
Li Dao laughed and said, "Liu Yuanjun, why hide it? There are no impermeable walls in the world! Chen Liuwang and the queen for the king's income, this matter is known to the passers-by in Luoyang City, so that the king wants to hide it is impossible to hide, now that Luoyang has been settled, Li Dao led the order of Sikong, specially invited Chen Liuwang and the queen to return to Beijing, but also asked Liu to make it convenient. ”
Liu Jian also laughed: "I'm afraid not, King Chen Liuwang has been sent back to Yecheng by me, I'm afraid I can't return to Ruoyang for the time being, and according to the ancient rites, since King Chen Liuwang has been named the prince king, it is not suitable to live in Beijing permanently, since this is already the case, then please return to Luoyang childishly, and say to Dong Sikong, please understand." ”
Li Dao seemed a little in a dilemma: "As the younger brother of His Majesty, King Chen Liu, even if he wants to go down to the domain, it is a little inconvenient to leave Beijing on his own without His Majesty's will." ”
Liu Jian said casually: "This kind of Liu clan's affairs have their own Zongzheng, Taichang and others agree with the Son of Heaven, why should Dong Gong be too involved?" It seems to be intermingling with the family affairs of the Son of Heaven. ”
Li Wei hurriedly said: "The family affairs of the Son of Heaven are actually equivalent to state affairs. ”
Liu Jian leaned forward and said, "Why is Dong Sikong so concerned about the matter of King Chen Liu, if I don't know Dong Gong as a person, I really think that Dong Gong wants to do something to abolish the establishment, haha!" ”
Liu Jian's words as a "joke" made Li Ji's face change instantly.
Jia Xu, who was beside him, glanced at Liu Jian in surprise, and then immediately looked away.
Then, I listened to Jia Xu gently clear his throat.
Li Wei heard Jia Xu's voice, so he said: "That's it, everything in Beijing has not been decided, and the return of King Chen and the queen to Beijing can be postponed...... Li came on behalf of Dong Sikong, and there was another matter. ”
"Childish, excuse me."
"I don't know what Liu Envoy Jun's troops are here, what are they trying to do?"
