Chapter 293: Liu Jia's Temptation
In fact, after Niu Fu and Jia Xu were arrested, Liu Jian had already seen them separately.
Liu Jian didn't have anything to say to Niu Fu, and he couldn't say anything.
That Niu Fu opened his mouth and scolded Liu Jian with his mouth, how ugly the scolding was, it was really unbearable.
Rao is a sharp mouth like Liu Jian, and in the face of the bombardment of Niu Fu's cannons, he has no power to fight back at all.
Liu Jian couldn't scold him, he could only be a gentleman and not argue with Niu Fu, and then let his subordinates come up and shave Niu Fu shut up.
Subsequently, Liu Jian ordered that Niu Fu be detained and no longer deal with this person.
Compared with the noisy Niu Fu, Jia Xu is the kind of person who is very reasonable, after he was brought to Liu Jian, he kept his head down, not saying much, Liu Jian asked him, Jia Xu answered, Liu Jian didn't ask much, Jia Xu never answered.
At the beginning, Jia Xu followed Li Dao, Guo Yan and others as envoys to see Liu Jian, although he was only an entourage, Liu Jian's memory of him was still very clear.
Therefore, when Jia Xu was in front of Liu Jian, claiming that Ma Rong was intercepted from Sun Ma, Liu Jian just returned the favor with a smile.
He didn't demolish Jia Xu, but just ordered people to entertain him.
Can't Jia Xu see that Liu Jian has seen through his lies? Of course he could see it.
However, since Liu Jian didn't demolish him, Jia Xu didn't say much.
According to Liu Jian's request, he stayed in Liu Jian's camp, and Liu Jian provided him with good food and drink every day.
After a long time, Liu Jian didn't feel anything, but Jia Xu was obviously a little unbearable.
After all, he is in the enemy camp, even if he eats well every day, he has nothing to do all day long, and there is no way to obtain anything from the outside world.
This makes Jia Xu eat every day like chewing wax, and he can't sleep on a pillow, which can be described as extremely uncomfortable.
After a long time, Liu Jian ignored Jia Xu, so Jia Xu naturally had to take the initiative to find Liu Jian, he couldn't hold on to Liu Jian here.
He told the guards about his demands, and the guards reported them directly to Guan Yu, who in turn conveyed them to Liu Jian.
Since Jia Xu wanted to see him, Liu Jian naturally had no choice but to meet him immediately.
In fact, Liu Jian could talk to Jia Xu when he was captured alive at the beginning, but Liu Jian didn't do that, but waited until Jia Xu took the initiative to come to him.
Details are very important, although they are all conversations, but who takes the initiative to find whom first, and the person being found can dominate to a certain extent in terms of momentum and opening.
And after a few days, Jia Xu's patience is estimated to have been almost worn out.
Soon, Liu Jian and Jia Xu met.
After sitting down, Liu Jian immediately ordered someone to serve tea to Jia Xu, and said: "Ma Gong has been in my army recently, and what he has eaten and used, are you still satisfied?" If there is any need, but it doesn't matter, as long as it can meet Ma Gong's needs, he will not be stingy. ”
Hearing Liu Jian call himself Ma Gong, Rao is a character like Jia Xu, and he can't help but feel panicked.
The other party must have already recognized his identity, if he uses the name of Fufeng Ma to protect himself, he is afraid that he will be laughed to death by Liu Jian when he turns back.
Moreover, although Jia Xu was frightened during this time, he could also see that Liu Jian did not hurt him.
If not, I am afraid that I will not have the opportunity to sit here and talk to him today.
But seeing Jia Xu standing up, he made a long gesture at Liu Jian, and said bitterly: "Please don't blame the general, a certain is not to help the Ma, but in order to survive, he has to borrow the name of the Ma family to deceive Lieutenant Guan, and I hope the general will forgive the crime." ”
Liu Jian laughed and said, "Why should Wen He be like this? If you don't say it, I will always mistake you as a horse, but now you admit your identity, but what should I do? ”
Jia Xu called out his words when he heard Liu Jian's mouth, and exclaimed: "In the past, with Li, Guo Ergong was the envoy, and he had a hurried meeting with the general, but he didn't talk in detail, and the general actually remembered me?" ”
Liu Jian stretched out his hand to invite Jia Xu to sit down, and then said: "I'm a person, I have no other advantages, only one advantage, that is, I have a good memory, especially for those who are talented and capable, as long as I have seen it once, I will never forget it!" ”
Jia Xuqi said: "How does the general think that a certain person is capable and talented? ”
Liu Jian said seriously: "When Wen He accompanied Guo and Li into my military camp, Wen He was on his side, I remember very clearly, although Li Dao is resourceful, but he is not a person who is good at negotiation, only Wen He faked a cough at the time, so that Li Dao came out under the pretext of going to the toilet, and then after Li Dao came back, he knew how to discuss with me, I think he must have been taught by Wen He, right?" ”
When Jia Xu heard this, he was shocked.
"I don't want the general to be so careful, and even see this little thing in his eyes, Jia admires."
Liu Jian said with a smile: "I have been longing for Wenhe for a long time, and this time I invited Wenhe here to comfort my admiration." ”
Liu Jian has a very strong ability, that is, he is good at "knowing with affection".
The words that came out of Liu Jian's mouth, whether they were true or not, sounded like they were true to you anyway.
All the people who have dealt with Liu Jian feel that he is a righteous and awe-inspiring figure.
The same goes for Jia Xu.
At this moment, in Jia Xu's ears, listening to Liu Jian say that he admired, he couldn't hear any sense of disobedience.
"Alas, Jia is just a person from one county, how dare General Lao treat him so kindly?"
Liu Jian smiled: "What about the people of the border county? I am also a child of the border county, is it possible that we are the children of the border county, and we are born to be short from the Central Plains? I don't think so. ”
"Could it be that Wen He looks at me, but now compared with the Central Plains scholars, I am worse than them?"
Jia Xu said: "The general is a heroic figure, so naturally he cannot be compared with others. ”
Liu Jian shook his head and said: "Everyone in the world is human, no one is different, the difference between people is only this person's ambition and heart!" Although I am from the county around me and am not a high-ranking family, I have always believed that I am not inferior to others! Over the years, I have come to this point, although it is not easy, I feel quite bitter, but I have never felt that I am inferior to the Kanto people! ”
"It was, it is, and it will always be."
After listening to Liu Jian's words, Jia Xu was suddenly silent.
Do you want to say that Jia Xu was not touched by Liu Jian at all? That's impossible.
When the border county scholars were mixed in the Kanto, they were treated coldly, treated differently, neglected, and treated unfairly, these things are the most clear and understandable in Jia Xu's heart.
If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have been disheartened and returned to his hometown in Liangzhou under the pretext of illness after being a Lang official in Luoyang for many years.
"Wenhe, for your ability, I appreciate it very much, you and I are both border county scholars, although we have different experiences, but we can empathize with each other, you have a plan, I have ambition, if Wenhe is willing to come to serve under my command, I am willing to treat him as a teacher, I don't know if Mr. is willing?"
When he said this, he saw Liu Jian stand up and salute Jia Xu respectfully.
The allusion of the male lord seeking talent has always been not lacking in this world!
However, Jia Xu never thought that this kind of thing would fall on his head.
He is a scholar from Liangzhou, and he wants to be sought by the lord of Kanto, which is something that he really didn't dare to think of before.
Even Dong Zhuo, when he conquered Jia Xu, he had never been a corporal of Lixian like Liu Jian today.
Jia Xu stood up, came to Liu Jian, and saluted him in return.
"The general is so righteous and loving, he is really ashamed of his heart, and his intelligence is shallow, and he is really a person who is not of great use! The general's salute is too much. ”
Liu Jian shook his head and said: "Mr. reports the talents of the world and transcends mundane things, isn't it putting all the people in fire and water?" Mr. refused to agree to Liu Jian, didn't he think that Liu Jian was not a supportable master? ”
Jia Xu shook his head very solemnly: "Definitely! In this world, the person who can value Xu in every way and is willing to take me as his arm, except for Dong Xiangguo, is a general! And Dong Xiangguo's attention to me is within the expectation of Xu, but the general's attention to Xu is really unexpected! ”
Liu Jian nodded abruptly and said, "Since this is the case, it means that in Wen He's heart, Liu Jian is still not as good as Dong Zhuo?" ”
Jia Xu shook his head and said: "Xiangguo is a hero, but not a hero, the general is young, he can dominate Jizhou, dominate one side, raise the banner of the royal road and wait to guard the sky, although the ancient heroes are not as good as the heroes, and the Xiangguo is an old general, although the Xiangguo is in charge of the court, but after a long time, he will not be the general's opponent, listen to the general's bold words, and then look at the general's actions, and then look at the general's actions, those who can become a great cause in the future will be the army!" ”
"In that case, why does Wen He want to reject my kindness?"
Jia Xu sighed bitterly and shook his head, and said, "I can't help myself. ”
When Liu Jian heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he thought of something and suddenly realized.
"Sir's concern is about your family, right?"
Jia Xu didn't answer directly, he sighed: "Xu's eldest son is currently being appointed to the Prime Minister's Mansion, not only Jia Xu, but also many colleagues in the Xiliang Army, most of the family members and direct relatives, are also in Luoyang, or live idle, or be appointed, all different. ”
Liu Jian secretly said in his heart, this is also Dong Zhuo's style.
The generals of the Xiliang Army, although they are all his descendants, but after all, they were all heroes in the past, and many of them also had ambitions, not those who were willing to live under others.
Outside, relatives inside, this is a means that has been used by those in power since ancient times.
Whoever is the master of the army does not look at the families of the generals who were ordered to go on the expedition under his nose, then he must be crazy.
I think that at the beginning, when Liu Jian was appointed as the pastor of Nanji Prefecture, Zheng Ci and others also had to stay in Luoyang and stay under Liu Hong's nose.
At this point, Dong Zhuo will only do more than Liu Hong, not more lax.
After listening to Jia Xu's words, Liu Jian only thought about it for a while, and immediately made up his mind.
"It seems that Mr. Liu is really out of luck, but it's a pity, it's just a pity, Mr. will stay for a few days, and now the army is in chaos, so let Mr. go back like this, I am afraid that there will be a danger limit! After the rumors are over, I will send someone to send my husband back to Luoyang, how about it? ”
Jia Xu was shocked when he heard this: "The general spent so much effort to arrest me, so simply let me go?" ”
Liu Jian smiled and said: "I invited Mr. to come here to admire Mr. and hope to achieve great things with Mr., but not to turn Mr. into my mortal enemy, if because of Liu Jian, Mr.'s family suffered damage and Mr. hates me, I Liu Jian swear not to do it!" ”
Jia Xu: "......"
