I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 296
Afterwards, Liu Jian stopped talking with Jia Xu about enlisting him.

He ordered his soldiers to prepare meals and began to entertain Jia Xu.

Because it was in the middle of the war, Liu Jian could not drink alcohol.

So he simply had some military meals with Jia Xu and talked about some household chores.

During this period, Liu Jian did not talk to Jia Xu about his future future.

After eating, Liu Jian ordered someone to send Jia Xu back to his tent.

Liu Jian himself was resting in the commander's tent.

Not long after, Guan Yu was ordered to report to Liu Jian on the situation in the army and the transportation of grain and grass in the rear.

After Guan Yu finished speaking, Liu Jian asked Guan Yu to sit down and talked with him about Jia Xu.

After listening to Liu Jian's words, Guan Yu couldn't help feeling a little puzzled.

"Brother spent so much effort to capture Jia Xu, but now he wants to let him go. Isn't this a waste of military power and manpower? Could it be that brother is really willing to do so?"

Liu Jian shook his head and said: "Of course I am not reconciled. I captured Jia Xu just to make him submit to me and become my right-hand man. This man is a rare resourceful man in the world. At the same time, other People have no roots in Kanto, and I need such a special person by my side."

Guan Yu asked solemnly: "Brother, when it comes to resourceful men, you have quite a few under your command. Is Jia Xu the only one missing?"

Liu Jian shook his head and said, "You're right. In terms of resourcefulness alone, I have enough people under my command—Ju Shou, Tian Feng, Shen Pei, and now there is another Xun Yu who has come to surrender from afar. , even without Jia Xu, it won’t have any big impact.”

"But Jia Xu's status is quite special. I have thought about it carefully. There are some things I can say to Jia Xu, and some things I can discuss with Jia Xu, but others cannot."

Liu Jian's words made Guan Yu quite confused.

What, elder brother can only say to Jia Xu?But can't tell other resourceful people?

This Jia Xu hasn't promised his elder brother anything yet, so why does his elder brother want to make him his confidant?
Liu Jian obviously saw the confusion in Guan Yu's eyes.

He then explained to him: "Yun Chang, Tian Feng Xunyu, the judge and assistant, are all Kanto scholars. Although they are loyal to me, they also belong to the Guanzhong gentry group, and they also have their family interests. There are too many interests to obtain, once my future policies and decisions conflict with their interests, how can I discuss with them on this matter?"

Guan Yu probably understood what Liu Jian meant.

"Brother wants to keep Jia Xu and use it to check and balance the Kanto gentry?"

Liu Jian said: "It can't be said to be checks and balances. It's just that I don't have a resourceful person who can fully support me to discuss how to deal with the Kanto gentry group. With this person, I will no longer feel alone. Jia Xu They are from Liangzhou. Their family’s interests are all in Liangzhou. But the so-called Liangzhou interests are negligible compared to the interests of the Kanto gentry.”

Guan Yu seemed to be taken aback when he heard this.

"Brother, what you think is too far-reaching..."

Liu Jian said seriously: "It's not that I think far-reaching, Yun Chang, you have to know, what are our goals and ideals? It is to help protect the Han Dynasty and maintain the prosperity of this country!"

"And in order to prosper the country, anyone may have an opinion that matches ours at some point!"

"So in order to prevent this kind of situation, I must be fully prepared. We are not for ourselves, we are for the big man."

After hearing Liu Jian's answer, Guan Yu showed awe and respect on his face.

"Brother cares about the country, beyond my reach."

Afterwards, Guan Yu asked: "Brother today, he said he wanted to send Jia Xu back, but why? If Jia Xu agrees, what should brother do?"

"He won't leave. In fact, he also knows in his heart that since he was captured alive, he will not be able to leave."

Guan Yu was surprised when he heard the words: "Elder brother promised to let him go, why can't he go?"

Liu Jian said: "Because he is a smart man, he knows Dong Zhuo's virtue better. Niu Fu's army was defeated, and Jia Xu led his troops a hundred miles away from Niu Fu's army. What kind of arrangement is this? Do you think he will not be held accountable by Dong Zhuo after he returns?" ?”

"Besides, if I let him go back instead of Niu Fu, what do you think will happen to him?"

After Liu Jian's explanation, Guan Yu suddenly realized.

Later, I heard Liu Jian say: "Jia Xu is also a smart person. In fact, he knows and can see that Dong Zhuo is not capable of realizing his ambition. He is too old. How many years will he have to achieve success?"

"So, when I talked to Jia Xu today, I also revealed my ambition and ambition. In this world, besides Dong Zhuo, anyone who has ambition, ability and ability, and is willing to use him, a Liangzhou native, is the only I'm afraid it's just me."

"If he misses me, he will never have the chance to meet someone like me again in the future."

After hearing this, Guan Yu thought about it carefully, and it was really the case.

Besides Liu Jian, who else in the world knows this Jia Xu?Know his abilities?

Guan Yu would not have arrested him if Liu Jian hadn't insisted on it.

……

At this moment, Jia Xu who was staying in his tent was also thinking carefully.

Liu Jian is really extraordinary. In his conversation just now, it sounded like he didn't say anything on the surface, but in fact, all the tricks were said in his heart.

Of course, Jia Xu was also moved. After all, he had already analyzed it clearly. Although Dong Zhuo looked powerful at present, he had no background. There was no doubt that Dong Zhuo would end sooner or later.

From the current point of view, it is undoubtedly the best choice to join Liu Jian's command and get his protection.

Although Liu Jian just said that he would let him go back, Jia Xu knew in his heart that it was all nonsense.

Jia Xu also knew that Niu Fu was captured, and if Niu Fu didn't leave, he would go back alone, fearing that there would be no good results.

But even so, Jia Xu did not let go, did not agree to Liu Jian, and refused on the grounds that his son was under Dong Zhuo.

But this is not because Jia Xu is deliberately embarrassing Liu Jian, but because it is a real reason.

Although Jia Xu cherishes his own life, he also cherishes the lives of his family members.

If there is no way to save his son Jia Mu, then Jia Xu would rather sacrifice himself.

However, if Liu Jian had a way to get his son to leave Luoyang, Jia Xu would definitely be willing to join him.

Just as Jia Xu was thinking about the matter carefully, the curtain of the tent was lifted suddenly, and Liu Jian stepped in.

"General? Why are you here?"

Jia Xu stood up in surprise.

Liu Jian said with a smile: "Mr. Wenhe, I have a way to save Mr.'s son from Luoyang. I wonder if Mr. Wang is willing to cooperate with me?"

　The updates in the past two days have been a little less, because I have to go to class at night, and the word count will be added tomorrow
