Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

Chapter 68: Loyal to the emperor and patriotic... Jia Wenhe?

Hearing this, Li Ji asked a question without any trace of embarrassment on his face as his thoughts were revealed.

"Jia Wenhe, since you have entered my house, your life and death can only depend on my thoughts. If I really want to kill you unjustly, why bother?"

"Even if I stab you to death with one sword and then throw you to a remote place in Julu City, I can easily find one or two Yellow Turban remnants to convict you, so why do you need evidence to prove it to anyone?"

When Jia Xu heard this, his expression moved slightly.

After being brought back to the mansion by Zhao Yun, Jia Xu, who was temporarily out of danger, noticed a lot of things that were contrary to common sense while thinking carefully.

If he really harbored resentment, when Li Ji first heard Jia Wenhe's name, his reaction was only a little bit shocked;

During the conversation at the banquet, there was no resentment on Li Ji's face from beginning to end, otherwise Jia Xu would not have left the side hall rashly;

More importantly, Jia Xu knew that if it was his own poisonous plot, he would definitely not be in this situation...

Cutting the grass without removing the roots?
  Jia Xu asked herself that this was definitely not her own style, let alone leaving a blood letter with her name in the baby's swaddling clothes.

Not to mention sixteen years ago, Jia Xu was already twenty-one years old. Even at eleven years old, he would not have done such a harmful thing.

Therefore, after excluding all kinds of things that are not in line with human nature, there are only two possibilities before Jia Xu: either there is an enemy who framed him, or Li Ji lies.

And the enemy's frame-up cannot be done only on an infant baby, so...

Nonsense Li Zikun!
  Jia Xu sneered. Although what Li Ji said was logical, it was not humane.

Logic refutes human nature, so what Jia Xu believes in more is human nature. He understands that the general logic does not conform to the fact that he has been deceived by certain information.

"Mr. Zikun, you and I are both wise men, so why should we continue to play this kind of trick? Let's speak frankly." Jia Xu said.

"Mr. Wenhe, if you are too smart, your life will be shortened easily." Li Ji responded.

"If you are just stupid, this may be the burial place of Jia Wenhe." Jia Xu replied.

Li Ji asked rhetorically.

"If that's the case, then why is Mr. Wenhe hiding in the Niu Fu Army and pretending to be crazy? Then he is not afraid of being treated as an abandoned soldier and dying in a foreign land?"

"This time, that time."

Jia Xu twirled the long strands of beard and said.

"Under Dong Zhuo's command, you should hide your sharp edge. Although this person is not a master, he takes good care of Niu Fu, and Dong Zhuo has the potential to rise, so why worry about danger?"

"On the contrary..."

Li Ji shook his head, then stood up and saluted Jia Xu, saying.

"I apologize for my previous rude behavior at the banquet, but there was a reason for it. My original intention was to save Mr. Wenhe's life. I couldn't bear to see Mr. Wenhe in a sea of ​​​​knife and fire without knowing it."

"Oh?"

At this moment, Jia Xu, who understood that his life depended on Li Ji's thoughts, was not in a hurry and responded.

Li Ji continued.

"Dong Zhuo! I see that Dong Zhuo really has the heart of a wolf. He has not gained power now, and he is somewhat apologetic and heroic. But when he gains power in the future, he will definitely deceive the emperor and ignore his superiors. He will cause cholera and make his reputation spread throughout the ages. .”

"At that time, let alone whether Mr. Wenhe's reputation will be tainted after his death. More importantly, how can such a person last long? Can Mr. Wenhe, as a scribe under Dong Zhuo, be able to survive Dong Zhuo? After death, do you want to be alone and get away with your whole body?"

These words made Jia Xu's eyes widen slightly, and he looked at Li Ji in front of him in surprise.

Even Jia Xu, who followed Niu Fu to meet Dong Zhuo many times, could only judge Dong Zhuo's wolfish heart after observing it for several months.

It’s unimaginable that Li Ji could actually stare at the real person?
  It should be noted that Dong Zhuo is now the governor of Bingzhou and the governor of Hedong County. He has an excellent reputation among the outside world and has the image of a loyal and patriotic warrior and good general.

Furthermore, Dong Zhuo devoted himself to the Yuan family of the Fourth Generation and Three Dukes early on, and he already had no shortage of basic connections.

Therefore, Jia Xu would conclude that Dong Zhuo has great potential to rise. As long as the Yuan family does not fall, there is no need to worry that Dong Zhuo will lose power and fall.

(PS: "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" does not mention the relationship between Dong Zhuo and the Yuan family, but in fact, Dong Zhuo surrendered to the Yuan family during the Xiping period and was recruited as an official by Situ Yuan Kui. After that, he realized it in just a few years. After a triple jump, he was promoted to the governor of Bingzhou and the governor of Hedong County.

This also fully explains why Yuan Shao specifically recommended Dong Zhuo to General He Jin to lead his army into Luo, because in the eyes of He Jin and Yuan Shao, Dong Zhuo was a die-hard one of their own.

Later, Dong Zhuo caused chaos in Luoyang, and all the other officials were in danger. Only Yuan Shao was able to escape and leave Luoyang despite confronting Dong Zhuo, and Yuan Wei was still able to secure his position as the Three Dukes afterwards.

It wasn't until Yuan Shao summoned eighteen princes to challenge Dong that the two sides completely fell out. )
  However, today was only Li Ji's first meeting with Dong Zhuo. How could Li Ji judge Dong Zhuo's character so accurately?
  Moreover, Li Ji also judged that Dong Zhuo was on the rise?

Suddenly, Jia Xu recalled that at the banquet, Li Ji was the only other person with whom he had communicated for a long time, and he only talked with Xu You for a long time.

At that time, Jia Xu specially glanced at Li Ji and Xu You.

'Could it be that just from the information learned from Xu You's exchange, it was judged that Dong Zhuo had the possibility of relying on the Yuan family to rise? ' In just a blink of an eye, Jia Xu had everything sorted out.

But precisely because of this, Jia Xu was even more shocked by Li Ji's ability to recognize people, which made Jia Xu somewhat believe that Li Ji wanted to pull him out of the pit of fire.

"So, in Mr. Zikun's opinion, Liu Xuande is more valuable?" Jia Xu asked sharply.

"Hahaha……"

Li Ji laughed several times and said.

"Mr. Wenhe, if you compare my lord with Dong Zhuo, don't you know that a firefly competes with the bright moon?"

"The wolves are ferocious and fierce, and can be powerful for a while, but it must be understood that the dragon will regret it before it can be exhausted. Even if such a person gains power, he will definitely end up with no burial."

"And my lord Liu Bei has benevolence and righteousness in his heart, he has great ambitions and cares about the people of the world. He has the blood of the great ancestors in his body, and he has the power to pacify the Yellow Turban. Even if he has no family connections, his status is as stable as Mount Tai. He can sit in a corner and watch the movements of the world. .By then..."

Li Ji suddenly stood up, waved his long sleeves, pointed directly upward, and said loudly.

"My lord, if you enter, you can revive the Han Dynasty, renew the Han Dynasty, pacify the troubled times, and leave your name in the history of Qing Dynasty; if you retreat..."

Li Ji drew a circle randomly on his chest with his fingers and said with a smile.

"My lord can also guard the people of one area, and there is no need to worry that my lord is as fierce as an overlord. Even if the army is defeated, he will not cross the Wu River and kill himself. I will definitely make his subordinates live and work in peace and contentment for a long time... for a long time..."

At the last moment, Li Ji raised his eyebrows at Jia Xu.

These four words "forever" undoubtedly speak to Jia Xu's heart.

Naturally, what Jia Xu thinks about is not the long-term relationship, but that he can live a long life without having to worry about dying one day.

While Li Ji spoke generously, in fact Jia Xu only heard one sentence from it: "If you advance, you can seize the world; if you retreat, you can defend one side and become invincible."

Ming people don't tell secret words!

Strategists and wise men of the same level as Jia Xu could not tell that the big man was already in trouble and his complete collapse was foreseeable.

Therefore, Jia Xu was once appointed as a Langguan because of his filial piety and integrity, but he resigned due to illness because he did not want to get involved in the whirlpool of the court.

Li Ji's answer was secretly answering some of Jia Xu's doubts.

Even though the Han Dynasty is still surprisingly strong, with Liu Bei's meritorious service in pacifying the Yellow Turbans, as long as the governor of Jiangdong does not commit suicide, he can rest on his merit book for the rest of his life without worrying about being deprived of his position by the court.

Stay away from the political whirlpool, stay firmly in Jiangdong, and wait for the weather to advance and retreat...

These advantages that Li Ji could not express verbally during the banquet undoubtedly made Jia Xu's heart beat when he heard them in his ears.

When Jia Xu chose his master, he didn't care at all whether the master was a waste. What he cared about was undoubtedly whether he could protect Wen He.

At present, in Li Ji's words, Liu Bei undoubtedly fully meets the image of a perfect lord in Jia Xu's mind. What stands out is that following Liu Bei seems to have foreseeable safety.

In contrast, if Dong Zhuo gains power in the future, it is indeed possible that he will die without a burial place as Li Ji said. At that time, I, Jia Wenhe, will inevitably be affected.

However, as soon as Jia Xu's thoughts came to his mind, a look of helplessness appeared on his face and he said.

"I would like to thank Mr. Zikun in advance for his love and recommendation, but I have already accepted the kindness of General Niu Fu, how can I easily switch to Liu Xuande's command?"

After a pause, Jia Xu continued.

"Furthermore, although I am not talented, I still have a part or two of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, and I have devoted myself to Dong Zhuo. I might as well try to dissuade General Dong Zhuo and make him help the Han Dynasty."

Loyal to the emperor and patriotic... Jia Wenhe? ? ?

This description is completely comparable to the resourceful Zhang Yide.

Fortunately, Jia Xu was shameless enough. Otherwise, how could he say such shameless words with such a gentle gentleman?
  Immediately, Li Ji said quietly.

"Mr. Wenhe is not even willing to address General Niu Fu as lord, so how can he be considered as switching to someone else's service? Besides..."

Li Ji glanced at Jia Xu up and down, and then said.

"You can tell at a glance that Dong Zhuo is inhuman and a wolf. How can you not see what kind of person Jia Wenhe is? Just now, Mr. Wenhe said that both sides can speak clearly, but now he is teasing me?"

As Li Ji spoke, he seemed to casually put his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist.

Immediately, Jia Xu felt angry, and then he was just angry for a moment, but a somewhat sincere smile appeared on his face.

After all, the sword on Jia Xu's waist had been taken away by Zhao Yun a long time ago. Now that he was unarmed and the distance between the two sides was only one foot, Jia Xu naturally did not want to try to see if he could catch the sword 100% empty-handed.

"How could I tease Mr. Zikun? It's just that Mr. Zikun kidnapped me here in the name of harming your entire family. Even if I, Jia Wenhe, don't mind the reputation, I'm afraid Liu Xuande will have a lot of grudges, so how can he accept me?" "
