Chapter 49: The Future Is Unclear
Xiliang people value family affection, and their loyalty to their home is deeply rooted in the bone marrow.
The Li family's uncle and nephew parted ways so simply, which really made Jia Xu look sideways, and he paid more and more attention to Li Li's next move.
After half a month, Zuo Zhonglang personally recommended Li Li to Dong Taishi to serve as the Taishou of Wuwei, and his words were sincere, so that Dong Zhuo couldn't bear to refuse.
For three days in a row, Cai Zhonglang had to go to the Taishi Mansion almost every day, and every time it was for Li Li's release from office.
As a result, the matter really came to pass, and Dong Taishi was extra kind and gave Li Li the title of Captain of the Qiang Guard.
At this point, a young man who had just won the crown became the youngest Taishou and the youngest Qiang Guard.
This kind of reward is not much better than the previous promotion of Li Dao to Zhonglang General, and even greater power, the only thing lacking is the title of a general.
With a keen intuition, Jia Xu knew that another powerful general would come into being with the reading of this edict.
So he took the initiative to ask for an edict to come to Longxiang Li Mansion to announce the decree, and took the opportunity to take a good look at this newly rising young Taishou.
I don't think about it, I don't know if I don't see it, and I'm startled when I see it.
Jia Xu is really impressed by Li Li, this once ignorant little kid, a child who knows a little bit with himself, now he really doesn't dare to recognize him, he grows up too fast!
At this time, Li Li was graceful, calm and wise, and his demeanor was full of the style of a general.
In the midst of his thoughts, Jia Xu was distracted.
Immediately, he remembered that Li Li asked him about the situation in Wuwei County, smiled apologetically at Li Li, and said: "After the young emperor moved the capital, Dong Taishi named him the general of Zhenxi in order to appease Han Sui, the most powerful prince in Liangzhou at the moment.
Therefore, the person with the highest official position in Liangzhou is Han Sui, and he is also using various means to actively win over Ma Teng, Li Kan and other shili, in an attempt to dominate Liangzhou. However, at present, he has not succeeded, Ma Teng and others are not facing him head-on on the surface, but behind the scenes, they are disobedient, raising troops and fighting for themselves.
As a result, although there are many princes in Liangzhou, each of them is strong and strong, but they are all a group of outlaws with no ambitions.
And Li Kan, Cheng Yin, Ma Wan, Cheng Yi, Yang Qiu, candidates and other generations are even more so. In the early years, they gathered people as thieves in the area of Hedong and Bingzhou, and then took advantage of the great chaos in Xiliang to rise up and occupy other counties except Jincheng.
However, these people are not of the same mind, each with one side, fighting with each other openly and secretly, and they all want to annex each other and take the opportunity to expand their troops and territories.
Wenchang went to Wuwei this time, you can start from this aspect, as long as you use it properly, you may be able to quickly gain a foothold in Wuwei, and then break through each one, and slowly figure it out. ”
Li Li was deeply convinced of what Jia Xu said, "Brother Wenhe is reasonable, thank you for your advice!" ”
Jia Xu knew what he had just said, as long as Li Li paid attention to inquiring about it, or sent scouts to investigate, he would be able to find it clear.
For this reason, he felt that he was a little unworthy of Li Li's brother, and he felt ashamed.
After thinking about it slightly, Jia Xu gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and said, "Wenchang, I can't go to help you in person because of my brother's responsibility, so I'm so ashamed of this."
In this way, I have a dog under my knees, named Jamu, who is now an adult and has no great talents, but he can handle government affairs well. If the virtuous brother does not give up, you can let him walk with you, and by the way, I will also pay tribute to the ancestors of my Jia family to pay tribute to filial piety. ”
Li Li suddenly froze when he heard this, and said in slight surprise: "Why does Brother Wenhe need to be like this? Since Ling Lang is an adult, he should be filial piety and honesty, inherit the mantle of his brother, and become an official.
The younger brother is going to Liangzhou, the future is uncertain, and it is extremely dangerous. In case of an accident, wouldn't my brother want the white-haired man to send the black-haired man and lose his beloved son!
I understand the friendship of my brothers. Unless Ling Lang himself is willing to go to Wuwei, otherwise, I definitely can't let Ling Lang put himself in danger. ”
When Li Li said this, he actually remembered the situation of Jia Xu's heirs recorded in the annals of later generations.
Jia Xu still had reservations about what he said, but this move also moved Li Li very much.
According to historical records, Jia Xu had three sons, the eldest son Jia Mu, the second son Jia Wan, and the youngest son Jia Ji; After his three sons defected to Cao Wei, they never came out. It wasn't until Jia Xu was old that his son was allowed to enter the court as an official, and Jia Mu was recruited by Cao Pi as a lieutenant and inherited Jia Xu's title.
The reason why Li Li was quite excited was because Jia Xu was willing to hand over his most talented eldest son to himself at this time; It can be seen that this famous poisoner attaches great importance to himself, and now he has begun to bet.
This is a good sign.
However, Li Li still has to make the gesture that he should do. Therefore, he replied to Jia Xu with a sincere demeanor and resolute words.
Jia Xu saw that Li Li was so sincere in thinking about himself, but he felt that it was right to hand over his eldest son Jia Mu to him.
Maybe Li Li's current strength is still very weak and his foundation is shallow, but he is a man with a true temperament.
Leaving his son to serve under such a bloody man, Jia Xu can rest assured.
"Wenchang don't want to excuse himself, let the dog follow you to practice! Although he is not proficient in literature and martial arts, he still understands some swords and government affairs, and he can still deal with ordinary battlefield battles, and there is no problem in self-preservation. ”
Li Li saw that Jia Xu had made up his mind, and said excitedly: "Since Brother Wen He insists on this, let Jia Mu come." First do the dragon camp heavy gong Cao, after the stabilization, I will make another arrangement, so it is applicable. What does my brother think? If there is anything wrong, please let my brother know, after all, I am not very familiar with Jamu, this is a temporary arrangement. You and I are old friends, like brothers, so naturally I can't treat Jia Mu badly. If there is something inconsiderate, even if it is brought up, it is not an outsider anyway. ”
"There is no objection to being a brother. This is already very good, and I'm worried that Mu'er will not be able to do it! With the words of the virtuous brother, I am relieved, in the future, Mu'er will serve under your account, if there is a dereliction of duty, the virtuous brother will be punished and discipline him well for the brother! Hehehe! ”
Obviously, Jia Xu was very satisfied with Li Li's unconventional appointment of his son.
It can be seen that his weight in Li Li's mind is not light.
With this, Jia Xu was very happy. Although I haven't decided to serve him yet, it is still necessary to have a good start and leave some good karma with each other.
As for whether Jia Mu will encounter danger after arriving in Wuwei, Jia Xu is not worried. Because the Jia family is a big Wuwei family with a shallow foundation, it may be difficult to succeed, but it is not difficult to save one's life.
Subsequently, Li Li and Jia Xu talked for more than an hour, and then set up a banquet to entertain them.
In the afternoon, the sun is in the west, and it is still hot outside.
Li Li felt refreshed at this time, looking at the sun was much more pleasing to the eye than in the morning, and there was no trace of stuffiness.
Sending Jia Xu outside the mansion, Li Li did have a few words to say.
Otherwise, once you lead your troops out of Chang'an City, you won't know when you will come back next time.
"Brother Wenhe, I will lead the army to set off in five days, and if I say goodbye today, I am afraid that it will be difficult for our brothers to meet for a long time. Before I leave, I have a few words to say to my brother. In the event of a drastic change in the DPRK and China, please Wen He brother must protect himself, and in case of emergency, he can take refuge in my uncle Li Dao's army, and send a fast horse to report to me. No matter where I am, I will definitely lead the army back to Chang'an City as soon as possible, and our brothers will tide over the difficulties together.
However, if I unfortunately die in Liangzhou, Brother Wen He will take care of himself, don't worry too much if necessary, and let it go, saving his life is the most important thing. ”
Jia Xu has lived for most of his life, has rich experience, and controls his emotions well. However, Li Li's parting words made him extremely emotionally fluctuating and very moved.
The most important thing is that Li Li's words resonated in Jia Xu's heart, and he really put himself in the shoes of his titular brother.
At this moment, Jia Xu really regarded Li Li as his old friend, confidant and friend.
"Wenchang's words, remember them for my brother, and you should take care of them. My Jia family still has some shili in Wuwei County, so let Jia Mu hand them over to you when the time comes, I hope it will help you. Brother Xian, say goodbye, brother believes that you will be able to gain a firm foothold in Liangzhou, and soar to the sky! On the day of the virtuous brother's departure, I will not send it, so as not to increase the sadness. Leave! ”
Under the bright sun, Jia Xu got up and got on his horse and gradually disappeared into the pedestrians on the street.
However, Li Li noticed that when Jia Xu turned to leave after speaking, the corners of his eyes were already moist.
It turns out that a generation of poisoners is not without real emotions, but they have never met anyone who really understands him.
