Chapter 204 Li Jue sends his son as a pledge
Chapter 204: Li Jue gave birth to a child
After hearing Li Jue's words, Jia Xu smiled and said, "Why, don't you want to go to Hedong anymore? Want to stay in the Western Regions?"
Li Jue smiled and said, "Yes, I've been in the Western Regions for a long time, and I'm really reluctant to leave."
Jia Xu shook his head and said, "Isn't you reluctant to leave?" He sighed and sighed, "I understand your thoughts. I am afraid that there is no place in the Fujiao Army. No matter what, Dong Zhuo's affairs... will still have some influence on you. I am afraid that someone will say something, so I have to stay in the Western Regions."
Li Jue sighed slightly and nodded. Dong Zhuo's incident did have some influence on him. He betrayed Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo died because of this. If he entered the Fujiao Army, he would not be a high-ranking official immediately, and it would not arouse jealousy from others. But he was going to be a Hedong Captain and suddenly became a high-ranking official. The generals in the Fujiao Army would definitely be dissatisfied with this, which was inevitable.
So he wouldn't feel very comfortable if he became a Hedong lieutenant. And if someone gave him a lieutenant, then his career would be like a Hedong lieutenant. It doesn't matter if he couldn't be promoted. If he was punished and demoted, wouldn't that be bad!
But it doesn't matter if he stays in the Western Regions. Li Jue has some ways to control the Western Regions. As long as Li Qin hints, he can assassinate the Western Regions chief and take all the Western Regions into his hands. Then he will become the highest commander of the Western Regions, and naturally he will not be afraid of others gossiping.
Jia Xu understood Li Jue's thoughts, and he said: "Our Fujiao Army has expanded too quickly. As many people are more troubles, it will be great. It will save a lot of trouble. Moreover, you are the leader of the side. Apart from A Qin, you don't have to look at other people's faces. It's good to be free and easy. Of course, you have to look at A Qin's face. Who said he is your boss?"
Li Jue smiled bitterly and said, "What did Jia Juncheng say? I have to see Li Lang's face. If I don't let me see, I will be uncomfortable. Besides, Li Lang is a righteous person. Since the day I saw me, I have never given me an ugly face. If I am not satisfied, would I still call someone?"
Jia Xu patted Li Jue on the shoulder and said, "I will tell Aqin this matter, and you will be sure to succeed. Don't worry! You are in the Western Regions and guard the Silk Road for Aqin. If Li Lang has any further development in the future... Well, that's all a story!"
Li Jue said with a whisper, "Jia Juncheng, will Li Lang go to Beijing to be the general? It is the peak of my military general? Now the position of the general in our dynasty is empty. Looking at the whole dynasty, there seems to be no one else except Li Lang!"
Jia Xu chuckled and said, "Now the territory of our Fujiao Army is three states, Liangzhou, Bingzhou, the Western Regions, and the entire northwest region, are our world. If you want to talk about local military generals, of course, it is our first place for us Aqin. As for the generals, we have to have another chance to achieve it. We can still say this to our own people. Don't tell others, you will only make people laugh at me!"
Li Jue hurriedly said, "I know, I understand this."
The two of them said something else, and Jia Xu went to talk to Li Qin about Li Jue.
Li Qin was busy, and after separating the property, he didn't have to do trivial matters, but he had to take Liu Jiu's movements seriously. And these days, the price of the flow was like, and Liu Jiu's news was put one after another on Li Qin's desk.
Liu Jiu brought his troops back to the grassland. Although the Western Regions were large, Jieletan was a path he could not avoid, which was a place he had to go. Behind Jieletan was the territory of the Xiongnu Shanyu. In the past half of his life, Liu Jiu's main enemy was the Xiongnu Shanyu. Similarly, the person the Xiongnu Shanyu was the most looking forward to dying was Liu Jiu.
Liu Jiu carefully arrived at Jieletan. On the first day, the scouts of the Fujiao soldiers sent the news to Li Qin, and explained that the Xiongnu Khan had already led his troops south and was marching towards Jieletan. They were about to meet when Liu Jiu had just left Jieletan.
Li Qinjing waited for the second news, and the news came soon. In order to pass Jieletan safely, Liu Jiu ordered all the old, weak and sick horses to be slaughtered before entering the desert so that the marching was sufficient, and the horse skin was made into simple skins to fill water. The Xiongnu soldiers in the Nine Tents were busy with this matter.
The third news came, Liu Jiu entered Jieletan, and the soldiers of the Xiongnu Shanyu had already approached the desert, but did not enter. He was just waiting on the edge. The Xiongnu Shanyu's actions were faster than expected. It seemed that the Shanyu had planned to solve the Nine Treasures at one time.
The fourth news came again. Liu Jiu left Jieletan and encountered the army of the Xiongnu soldiers and Shanyu, and began to fight.
So far, the fifth news has not yet arrived. The scouts had no time to send them back when the two armies were fighting, so Li Qin could only wait.
Jia Xu entered Li Qin's tent and saw Li Qin staring at the map in a daze. He said, "Aqin, but he was still thinking about Liu Jiu and Shanyu, who can win?"
Li Qin said: "I can guess the result without thinking. The Shanyu must have won. The question is how much loss Liu Jiu is. After defeating Liu Jiu, how much power will expand. This is all about the heart."
Jia Xu nodded and looked at the map. Liu Jiu was defeated, and this was basically confirmed. However, will the Nine Treasures disappear because of this? Will Liangzhou and Bingzhou be threatened by Liu Jiu again in the future? This is the key. If Liu Jiu is finished, then will the Shanyu take over Liu Jiu's territory after his power has increased greatly and continue to threaten Li Qin's territory? This is the second key!
After looking at the map, Jia Xu said, "When the scouts send the news back, we will have time to make a decision. It is not something that needs to be decided immediately!"
Li Qin smiled and said, "I know this, but I know the result a moment ago, so I can be more at ease. By the way, what do you want to tell me? I see Li Jue pulled you away. It must be because he wants you to tell me if he has something to do?"
Jia Xu said: "Yes, it's his business. Li Jue wants to stay in the Western Regions and replace Dong Zhuo's position. What do you think?"
Li Qin was silent for a while. Li Jue in history was a person who had no big blame. After Dong Zhuo was killed by Lu Bu, he even wanted to escape back to Liangzhou to be a commoner. If Jia Xu had not made any advice, Li Jue would not have the idea of attacking Lu Bu. Later, after Li Jue controlled Sizhou, he made peace with Emperor Xian and returned the imperial objects. Although he doubted this and that, he was tenacious and aggressive, he never made any major progress.
For Li Qin, this kind of person is the easiest thing to reassure him, because Li Jue can't hide what he thinks and what actions he does, and it's easy for him to control him.
Seeing that he was considering it, Jia Xu was hesitant and said, "Li Jue is brave enough to fight, but not dominant. I think he always wants to hug others' thighs, and he doesn't have the idea of becoming his thighs. So letting him stay in the Western Regions is considered a good candidate. As for the word "safety", you actually don't have to worry about him. On the contrary, he may still be worried about you. He is afraid of having conflicts with our generals, so he will not go to Hedong. What he is afraid of is that others say bad things about him in front of you, so as long as you use a little trick to him, he will follow you wholeheartedly."
Li Qin said: "Your words are a bit contradictory. If he is not at ease with me, wouldn't it be easy for him to rebel? If I use some tricks on him, wouldn't he rebel faster?"
Jia Xu shook his head and smiled, "No, no. As long as you ask him to hand over a hostage to you, he will feel at ease. He thinks that as long as his hostage is in the Fujiao Army, you will not touch him. In this way, he will not make him rebellious. Some people just like to be humble, and your relatives and brothers are the best among them."
"My relative is your relative, so you have the nerve to say he is a shame!" Li Qin said with a smile.
Jia Xu said, "Leave this to me, just wait for Liu Jiu's news!" After that, he made a statement and went to find Li Jue again.
Li Qin looked at the map again, sighed, and then waited for the news. He was very upset, as if he had a breath in his heart and could not stretch it out.
Jia Xu found Li Jue again, and saw that Li Jue was just like Li Qin, and he was also irritable. When Li Jue saw Jia Xu coming, he hurriedly came over, closed the door, and said, "Jia Juncheng, did Li Lang agree?" His eyes changed color and they were a little blue when they were nervous.
Jia Xu said: "Aqin agreed, but..."
Li Jue hurriedly said, "But what, but is there something Li Lang worried about me?"
"No, Aqin trusts you very much. After all, he is a relative of his family. No matter how you are his brother, who else can he feel at ease with you? But..." Jia Xu paused for a moment before saying, "I heard you have a son?"
Li Jue was stunned and murmured: "I have several sons, but I wonder which one Jia Juncheng is asking?"
Jia Xu smiled and said, "Which one do you think I'm asking? I tell you that Li Lang has a beloved nephew named Ma Chao, but Ma Chao lacks a playmate and is very lonely. If you have a son, why don't you let Aqin take him back and be a brother with Ma Chao since childhood. What do you think? Or if Aqin has a son in the future, your child will be a personal guard for the young master, which is not great?"
Li Jue suddenly understood that he wanted to take hostages and he had to give his son to Li Qin, which was nominally educated him on his behalf. In fact, if he was not honest, his son's life would be lost!
When Li Jue heard that he wanted to take hostages, he felt relieved. As long as he did not rebel, his son would be in danger. On the contrary, his son could be believed by Li Qin in his hands. This is a good thing. Besides, if his son could be brothers with Li Qin's son since childhood, then when he grew up, he would naturally have a bright future and he would do this business.
Li Jue said: "My legitimate son, named Li Shi, was born to my wife Yang. He is very spoiled. I am afraid that this child will become a playboy when he grows up, but I am not good at teaching and always reluctant to beat and scold him. If I let this continue, this child will become a rotten tree. In order to allow the child to grow up and become a talent, I dared to ask Li Lang for his teachings. I wonder if Jia Juncheng could beg Li Lang for his behalf and ask him to agree?"
Jia Xu smiled and said, "Okay, I can make the decision without asking Aqin for this. No matter what, I am Ma Chao's master and will also be Aqin's son's master in the future. What's wrong with taking more students? I'll take your son away!"
