Chapter 197 Give Li Jue a chance to surrender

Jia Xu was very talkative, and Li Jue was very moved when he heard this. He had long felt that there was no future in the Western Regions. He also felt that Jia Xu was right. He was just a Han soldier, not Dong Zhuo's private soldier. He was the same wherever he served in the army. Since it was the same everywhere, why not go back to his hometown to serve in the army? The fallen leaves return to their roots. This sentence is equivalent to the truth.

Li Jue said: "Jia Juncheng, I just don't know what Li Lang is thinking. This matter is a small matter for him, but it is a big matter for me!" He now followed the generals and called Li Qin as Li Lang, and stopped calling Li Junhou, but he felt closer to him.

Jia Xu said: "A family, Aqinle cannot let you go home. The wanderer has been away for many years and it's time to go home. Can he, a brother, not let you go home? Don't worry, I'll tell you, he will definitely agree. After the banquet is over, I'll wait for me for a quarter of an hour and I can get this done for you."

After a pause, he said: "As for official positions, since the new army is expanded, you must have generals. However, as soon as you come back, you will be too high-ranking officials. I am afraid that it will not work. It will cause jealousy from others and will be bad for you. Otherwise, you should be a county lieutenant of the new army first, just like the Hedong lieutenant. The territory is in Bingzhou. What do you think? Go to Bingzhou first, because Aqin has been the governor of Bingzhou. Let's go to Bingzhou together, and the whole family should not be separated."

Li Jue was overjoyed. Isn’t he the commander of a county? He is only half a level worse than the prefect of the county, and this is the official position he received once he joined the Fujiao Army. If he had been in the future, he would not be difficult for him to become the prefect of the county! Thinking about Dong Zhuo spent countless money and cursing He Jin like a grandfather, He Jin just promised him an official as the prefect of Hedong. But as soon as he returned to his roots, he would immediately be half a level away from the position that Dong Zhuo yearned for. Where can I find such a good thing?

Li Jue stuttered: "This, this, this, this, this, this, this county lieutenant, this position is too large, I am afraid I cannot be competent. I have always been a small officer and have never been the chief general!"

Jia Xu smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't know how to behave, you can learn to be him! Like A Qin, you are both behind the flying generals and your ancestors are so powerful. If you are a Hedong Captain, who can say anything? Even if someone says it doesn't matter. As long as they are also A Qin's clan brothers, let them be him!"

In this era, relatives and family backgrounds are extremely important. As long as this relationship is involved, it becomes reasonable and should not become appropriate. Li Jue thought to himself: "It seems that this matter is 90% sure. If Li Lang really goes to Bingzhou to take office, then I will definitely be able to do it. Now only Li Lang is left to nod!"

Li Jue's face flushed, and he said, "Jia Juncheng, how do I repay this..."

Jia Xu said excitedly, "All family, why bother to say something? But when it comes to repaying you, you really have no place to repay me now, so I won't mention it now. But in the future, if I remember where I want you to help, you can't forget what happened today!"

Li Jue hurriedly said, "You can't forget it, I will never forget this great kindness for the rest of my life. I, I, can't say it well now, all the affection is here... this glass of wine!" He picked up the wine glass and toasted Jia Xu.

The two of them clinked their glasses, and they drank them all in one go, looking at each other and laughing.

Seeing them laughing, Li Qin knew that the matter was almost done. He said to them: "What are you talking about, why are you laughing?"

Jia Xu said: "Just allow you to laugh, we won't let you laugh? It's so outrageous!"

Li Jue shivered when he heard this. Why did he talk to Li Lang like this? It was really a family. He was so rude that he dared not talk to Li Qin like this, and he did not dare to talk to Dong Zhuo like this when he was in the Western Regions. He had never used such a tone to be higher than his. He had never even thought about it.

Li Qin smiled and said, "Okay, okay, you laugh, you laugh, but why do you laugh?"

Jia Xu said: "General Li and I plan to be in-laws and tell your nephew the marriage, so we marry General Li's daughter as our daughter-in-law. That's your nephew's wife. Not only do we have to laugh, but you have to laugh too!"

Li Qin whispered and said, "This is a good thing! But where is my nephew? Can I not know whether you have a son?"

The generals looked at Jia Xu together and thought to themselves: "It's not that I have raised an outdoor room, I have given birth to a son for you? I'm so brave, I'm not afraid that Li Lang's sister will slap you!"

Jia Xu smiled and said, "I don't have a son yet, but there will always be one in the future. I'll find my wife first, which will save me a lot of worries!"

Dian Wei laughed and said, "You ordinary man don't even have a son, where did you think? If you say so, I don't even have a wife, but I have to have a lot of thoughts?"

Li Jue grinned again, why did he call the man? Dian Wei is really rude. Jia Xu wouldn't be furious, right?

Unexpectedly, Jia Xu was not angry at all, but instead said seriously: "A man, you don't have a wife yet. No wonder you always go to the streets and squeeze in crowded places. Going to love is to take advantage of other women."

Li Jie couldn't close her mouth anymore, why did she call each other? No one was angry, but others were laughing. Could it be that Chengdu was used to listening, or being called?

Jia Xu turned his head, looked at Li Jue's big mouth, and said, "General Li, do you still have a daughter? Why not just take advantage of this guy and be a father-in-law for him!"

Li Jue was shocked. Why did he make jokes on him? He has a daughter, but it was nonsense to marry Jia Xu's son who was unknown. Now he has created a Dian Wei, which is even more nonsense.

He hurriedly said, "I have two daughters..."

Before he could finish his words, there was a burst of laughter in the hall, and the generals slapped the table and shouted: "Dian Wei, call him father-in-law, call him father-in-law!"

Dian Wei said, "Two? Well, I don't think there are too few..."

Li Jue almost jumped up, why did he climb up like this? Who wants to recruit you as his son-in-law? He hurriedly said, "But he is too young and doesn't match General Dian, so he can't marry him!"

Dian Wei said again: "Then do you have any sisters? How many?"

Li Jue said with a bitter face: "I don't have a sister, and of course I don't have a sister. I really can't kiss General Dian!"

Li Qin said: "Well, when the clan brother sees that there is something right in the future, he will tell him and let him get married early so that he will not get stuck in the crowd when he goes out on the street, which is unconventional!"

"This is all a disease caused by holding it in, pitiful, pitiful!" Jia Xu said with a smile.

The topic was successfully transferred, which brought Li Jue closer to the generals in the hall. Everyone ate and drank, and they all parted with joy.

Li Qin asked someone to arrange a residence for Li Jue. After Li Jue left the hall, he did not walk far away. He pretended to see the scenery outside the door, but was actually waiting for Jia Xu to talk to Li Qin. He knew the result soon!

After waiting for a while, Jia Xu came out of it and said to Li Jue: "General Li, I will accompany you to your residence. If you have anything to say, let's go there." His face was full of smiles, and it was obvious that the matter was done.

Li Jue's heart finally returned to his stomach and followed Jia Xu to his residence. After entering the room and closing the door, Jia Xu said to Li Jue: "Person Li, we will all work together in the Fujiao Army from now on."

Li Jue was overjoyed and bowed to Jia Xu and said, "Thank you, Jia Juncheng's good words!" It seemed that his Hedong Captain was settled.

Jia Xu said: "You can go back to your hometown to serve in the army, of course Aqin is happy. Everything is easy to say here, but Dong Zhuo is a little difficult to explain. We have some old grudges with Dong Zhuo, you know that, but it is definitely a matter of sending troops, but Dong Zhuo cannot be rewarded, do you think so?"

When Li Jue heard that he used the word "we", he was happy. Now he had no idea about Dong Zhuo. Anyway, as long as Li Qin sent troops, he would complete the task. As for Dong Zhuo's losses, it had nothing to do with him.

Jia Xu said again: "There is a desert called Jieletan, where there are no aquatic plants or oasis, and there are sand around it, right?"

Li Jue nodded and said, "Yes, in the Xiongnu words, Jieletan means a place of death, but it is very close to the territory of the Xiongnu Shanyu. Because of this place as a barrier, the Western Regions can be less attacked by the Shanyu, and there is no one living there, and there is no merchant passing by."

Jia Xu said: "We will force Liu Jiu there, and then you tell Dong Zhuo that you can send troops to kill Liu Jiu with us. That is the place for the decisive battle."

Li Jue thought for a while and said, "Then we aren't really fighting there? Just let Dong Zhuo and Liu Jiu fight?"

Jia Xu shook his head and said, "No, no, we will just go later. Whether Dong Zhuo will be beaten to death by Liu Jiu, or he will be beaten to death by Liu Jiu depends on his luck!"

Li Jue yelled and said, "How could he kill Liu Jiu? But it is unlikely that he will be beaten to death. Dong Zhuo has a lot of skills in running away."

Jia Xu thought to himself: "That's our business, but we can't tell you in advance." He said: "It's better for them to die together, so that future troubles will be eliminated forever."

The two of them said something specific, and Jia Xu left, leaving Li Jue alone in bed and dreaming.

Of course, we should not waste time when asking for reinforcements. Since Li Qin agreed to send troops and talked about the location of the decisive battle, Li Jue led the team to leave the next day and went back to report to Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo was already waiting for a long time. Liu Jiu was now excited and refused to leave. He was moving westward and was not far away from Dong Zhuo. It was estimated that Liu Jiu might come. After all, the place where Dong Zhuo stationed his troops was very rich, so how could Liu Jiu let it go.

When Li Jue said that Li Qin agreed to send troops, Dong Zhuo was overjoyed. He learned that the decisive battle was Jieletan. Dong Zhuo did not doubt it. Instead, he smiled and told Li Jue that the place was the best. If he and Li Qin joined forces to kill Liu Jiu, then he would have made great contributions. Then he would use some tricks to grab the first contribution to his own hands. Then he would not be transferred to a wealthy place to become an official. He would not just think about it. He Jin would definitely help.
