Chapter 296: Jia Xu's Assist
Of course, Jia Xu wouldn't think that Liu Jian was going to kill him.
He just guessed Liu Jian's intentions in an instant.
"What the general means is that after the last battle, Niu Fu and Jia were captured by the general, Jia is a person with an unknown reputation, except for Dong Xiangguo, no one in this world cares about Jia's life and death, maybe even Xiangguo himself will not pay special attention, so the general plans to fake that Jia is dead?"
Liu Jian laughed and said: "It won't be difficult, after all, you are now living in my camp as a horse, I will close your news from now on, as for the Xiliang soldiers who were captured alive in my camp in the previous battle, I will let some people out."
"But before I let them go, I will also find a way to spread rumors that you have been killed in battle, and Niu Fu was captured alive by me, so that they can return to Dong Zhuo with false news."
"I don't dare to say that the news of your death will always deceive Dong Zhuo, but as long as we plan it properly, no one will be able to see through it in a short period of time, and during this time, you will be a horse."
After thinking carefully for a long time, Jia Xu nodded without hurry.
Indeed, it is indeed feasible to follow Liu Jian's method.
After all, he is usually not very eye-catching in the Xiliang Army.
If anyone in the Xiliang Army would have the slightest concern for him Jia Xu, it was nothing more than Dong Zhuo, Niu Fu, Li Dao and a few others.
As long as he is low-key enough now, then with Liu Jian's current strength and the current chaos in the Central Plains, Dong Zhuo has no time to explore whether he is really dead or fake.
That's enough for him.
In the end, Jia Xu thought carefully for a while.
"The general means that if I 'die', then my son will be of little use in Luoyang City, and if he arranges for the right person to recommend him to Shuzhong to escort Liu Yan's third son, then he can take the opportunity to leave Luoyang, find an opportunity to return to the ancestral house in Liangzhou, and then secretly take my family relatives to Hebei."
Liu Jian nodded with satisfaction.
Talking to smart people just doesn't get tired.
However, Jia Xu still seemed a little uneasy, and he cautiously asked Liu Jian: "It's just that even if he is 'dead', how can he get Dong Xiangguo to agree to send Liu Yan's three children back to Shuzhong? And even if Xiangguo agreed to repatriate, how could he happen to let Wu'er escort them to Shuzhong?"
Liu Jian said very solemnly: "Although you can rest assured about this matter, I will not hide it from you, in the sun, I have my connections and my channels, I said that if I can fall on your son, then it will definitely fall on him."
Jia Xu is a person who understands current affairs very well, and asks about things that should be asked, and things that should not be asked, and does not ask a word more.
Since Liu Jian is so sure, it is okay to think about it.
After all, in Jia Xu's opinion, Liu Jian is not the kind of person who is unscrupulous.
Thinking that Liu Jian went to Luoyang back then, there were few connections, and in just a few years, he was mixed in Luoyang City, up to Liu Hong, Yuan Ji, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, Yin Xiu, and down to the Yue Cavalry Camp, Liu Jian did make a large number of contacts in Luoyang City.
And among these connections, there are still many people who work in Luoyang.
So with a little analysis, we can know that Liu Jian does have the ability to promote this matter.
Jia Xu said: "The general is so kind, if Jia Xu can't admonish, I'm afraid he will lose the general!"
"What kind words does Wen He have to teach?"
"I don't dare, I just want to help the general plan the next step of the war, according to Jia's understanding of Xiangguo, after Niu Fu's defeat, Xiangguo must be hesitant at this time, he wants to make peace with the general, but he can't lose face, so he will inevitably send the general who can conquer the future of the habitual war, as long as the general can win the next wave of attacks! Then Xiangguo will inevitably take the initiative to make peace with the general, and then the general will have the upper hand."
Liu Jian's face turned cold: "I avenge Brother Yuan, and I am inseparable from Dong Zhuo, how can I make peace?"
Jia Xu was originally quite optimistic about Liu Jian, but at this time, Liu Jian actually had such a face, and Jia Xu began to murmur secretly in his heart:
It's pretended, right?
I guess it's pretended.
Don't, don't pretend! If it's big, it's exposed! Almost!
But on the face, Jia Xu still said respectfully: "The general and Yuan Shiji have a deep brotherhood, this matter is heard all over the world, the general avenges Yuan Shiji, raises troops to fight against Dong, the name of benevolence and righteousness is all over the world, even if Yuan Shiji has a spirit in the sky, he must know that he is relieved, but although Yuan Shiji died at the hands of Xiangguo, in fact, someone is secretly plotting!" Yuan Shiji was lost at the hands of Xiangguo, and this real murderer is also known to the general."
Liu Jian did not answer.
Jia Xu didn't persuade much, and turned back to the topic: "The general is good at using troops, he must already know, who will Xiangguo send to fight the general, right?"
Liu Jian said: "The scout has reported, Dong Zhuo sent Hu Zhen as the protector of the capital, Lu Bu and Hua Xiong as the governors of the left and right, and the soldiers and horses of the three routes have left Nanyang Border County and are rushing to this place, I am now sad in my heart, I am afraid that Yanjin will not be enough to defend, but if I go to the Central Plains, where should I garrison it?"
Jia Xu said: "Most of the soldiers and horses led by Hu Zhen, Lu Bu, and Hua Xiong are elite cavalry, and if the general wants to fight with the three of them, he will definitely be defeated."
Although Jia Xu's words made Liu Jian quite unhappy, he also knew that what the other party said was the truth.
If your own soldiers and horses fought against the troops of those three people in the plains, they would be defeated, and they would be easily annihilated by the whole army that rushed to kill.
Therefore, it is still very necessary to find a strong city to hold on.
"Just, where am I supposed to go?" Liu Jian frowned.
Jia Xu said: "In the Central Plains city, all the fortified cities are now in the hands of a group of anti-Dong Zhuo herdsmen, like Liu Dai, Zhang Miao, Qiao Mao, Bao Xin and others.
When Liu Jian heard this, he objected at that time.
"These people are all conspiring with Yuan Shao to crusade against Dong Zhuo, and they are really the leaders of the world, and I swear not to be with these people!"
After listening to Liu Jian's words, Jia Xu seemed to have no reaction.
It seems that Liu Jian's reaction seems to have been expected by Jia Xu for a long time.
He said slowly, "Since the general is unwilling to join forces with these people, then Jia will recommend another person for the general."
"Who?"
"Why don't you join forces with King Chen and Liu Chong?"
"King Chen?"
Jia Xu nodded and said: "King Chen in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, began to gather the displaced people to form an army, to build ordnance, especially crossbows, it is reported that King Chen ordered the craftsmen of the Chen State to build a lot, when Yuan Shao raised the army, it is reported that this person also led the army in Yangxia, claiming to be the general of the Auxiliary Han Dynasty, although I don't know what it means is to target Xiangguo and a group of herdsmen, but there is no doubt that this person also has the heart to stir up chaos, but this person is a relative of the Han family after all, and the general is from the same bloodline of the Liu family, and the two of you are in the same army, which is in response to the situation."
Liu Jian patted his forehead suddenly, and said secretly in his heart: Yes! How could such an important prince and king forget him?
"It's just that I have never crossed paths with Liu Chong, I don't know what this person's personality is, whether he is credible, and whether he is sincere in helping Han."
Jia Xu said lightly: "At this time, General Hugh asked King Chen if he really helped Han, and only asked if he was powerful."
Liu Jian looked at him suspiciously.
"No matter what Liu Chong's temperament is, as long as the general is willing to join forces with him, Liu Chong must be willing, in this world, he can refuse anyone, but he can't refuse the general."
Liu Jian hurriedly said, "Why?"
"During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Liu Pet recruited the displaced people from all over the world, and Luo Jun, the minister of the country, reorganized the displaced people into soldiers and horses, and also built equipment, taking advantage of the troubled times, the power increased greatly, but the ancestors had a system, the princes and kings had no right to govern political soldiers, and all matters in the country were entrusted to the minister of state, but Liu Pet took advantage of the chaos to do the opposite with the imperial court, no matter what the reason for him to do so, he was against the ancestral system, and it was not too much for the first emperor to kill him a hundred times, but at that time, the general advised the first emperor to give the princes and kings of the world the right to open the palace, It was only then that Liu Chongzhi's actions changed from disobedience to righteousness."
"Therefore, the general is Liu Chong's benefactor, and it can even be said to be a life-saving benefactor, if King Chen still wants fame, he will be right to the general
You can't ignore what you ask."
Liu Jian nodded abruptly.
Although he was in order to rectify the Wang clan back then, he advised the Son of Heaven to open a mansion for the princes and kings, but he did help Liu Pet invisibly, and this matter is known to the world, if Liu Pet rejected him, it would be really ungrateful.
Therefore, whether Liu Pet wants to or not, he must accept himself.
"And then? After I join forces with Liu Pet? And how should we look at the situation?"
Jia Xu said in a calm tone: "Although Liu Chong is brave, but after all, he is old, Chen Guo is located in the Central Plains, and the Yuan clan is close to each other, Chen Guo's elite soldiers and strong generals will be annexed by the Yuan clan sooner or later, rather than waiting for the Yuan clan to merge, it is better for the general to merge first."
"No!" When Liu Jian heard this, he immediately became angry: "King Chen is my fellow clan, and he is my uncle! How can I do such an unrighteous thing, and I will not be able to do it."
Jia Xu looked at Liu Jian helplessly, and couldn't help but draw a question mark in his heart......
The way he looks now, he should be pretending, right?
Is there really such a kind and righteous person in the world?
It should be pretended......
It doesn't seem to be ......
Is it pretending to be or not?
