Liu Qi understood the meaning of Jia Xu's words.

Logically speaking, Li Ru was the biggest traitor among the former Luoyang courtiers, and his rebellion had a profound impact on the Luoyang court. Dong Zhuo brought down the court, and Li Ru played a very important supporting role in it.

What Dong Zhuo touched at that time was the interests of the leaders of the clan headed by the Yuan family, and the Wang family of Taiyuan was also among them.

Hatred against an individual is not a big deal, but when conflicts arise between the family behind the individual, it is difficult to get Wang Yun to forgive him.

To be honest, Wang Yun can still keep Li Ru alive. To a certain extent, he has indeed made a great determination and made a great sacrifice.

But the problem is, his personal sacrifice has nothing to do with Li Ru. Li Ru may be living an uncomfortable life now.

"It's not impossible for you, sir, to come to the capital. I happen to have a batch of weapons, grain, and goods that I want to pay tribute to Your Majesty. Sir, you can go to Luoyang to pay tribute on my behalf. It's also a good time to find out what's going on in Luoyang. As for the rest,

If it’s a matter, just do it with the camera.”

Jia Xu felt a little grateful for Liu Qi's trust.

Unexpectedly, he agreed to go to Luo without hesitation.

But thinking about it, this is also Liu Qi's confidence in his own personality and charm.

At this moment, Liu Qi suddenly said to Jia Xu: "Mr. Wenhe, there is something I want to discuss with you."

Jia Xu hurriedly said: "Please speak frankly."

Liu Qi picked up a slip on the desk and said: "A few days ago, there was another letter from Huang Xu. He fought four formations with Shi Xie's army and defeated them in succession. Now he has invaded Nanhai County.

In Panyu, Shixie's army temporarily retreated to Hepu. Huang Xu was not in a hurry to continue the attack to the west. Instead, he turned his head to capture the counties in Nanhai County. After Nanhai County is pacified, I would like to order the young master to be the prefect of Nanhai and govern it for me.

The local Baiyue, sir, do you agree?"

Although Nanhai County is located in a remote place, it is a county after all. If Liu Qi makes Jia Mu the prefect, he will officially push Jia Xu's son to the position of two thousand stones. It has to be said that this is a great opportunity for the Jia family.

It is a great honor and a good opportunity to shine.

Although Jia Xu knew in his heart that this was Liu Qi's method to subdue him, he was still very moved.

No matter what their ultimate goal is, the immediate benefits to the Jia family are real.

And these benefits are all used on his weaknesses.

Jia Xu has always been a low-profile official under Liu Qi, which is in line with his habit of hiding behind the scenes, but his achievements were invisibly transferred to his descendants by Liu Qi. Even after his death, the official careers of his descendants

He Ronghua can also be worry-free, which is what Jia Xu wants to see most.

"When a prince uses the son of a low-ranking official, it is really a great trust and favor, so why bother asking?"

Liu Qi waved his hand and said with a smile: "You can't say that. It would be fine if it were somewhere else, but after all, Nanhai County is located in a remote place, and there are hundreds of barbarians everywhere there. Compared to the counties in Central China,

, the situation is much more complicated, so if I want to let Jia Lang go, I have to seek your opinion as a father."

"It's good to have some experience after all." Jia Xu replied.

Although there is no direct answer, this opinion has been expressed very clearly.

"Okay, then you can go to Luoyang with peace of mind. Leave the matter of serving in Nanhai County to me. Huang Xu will be transferred to the state this time. Jia Lang will consolidate the rear for him in Nanhai. If it succeeds, he should have a big share.

Credit.”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

…

After Jia Xu left Liu Qi's residence, he happened to meet Xun You who came to see Liu Qi.

The two of them didn't have much interaction before, but they knew a thing or two about each other.

The two met in the courtyard and didn't say much. They just nodded to each other, which was considered a greeting.

Later, Xun You went into the hall to meet with Liu Qi.

Liu Qi hurriedly stretched out his hand to ask him to sit down: "Gongda, there are frequent wars over there in Yuzhou, how is everything going on over there with the Xun family?"

Xun You smiled and said: "Thanks to the prince's efforts, the Xun family's reputation in Yingchuan is still there. No matter how frequent the wars are in Yuzhou, generally no one dares to touch the Xun family easily... But letters of solicitation have been sent home non-stop.

Go to the father-in-law."

Liu Qi smiled when he heard this and said, "Are they Cao Cao and Yuan Shu?"

Xun You admitted naturally: "Yes, but without Sun Jian's solicitation."

Liu Qi smiled and said: "Sun Wentai himself has a reputation for self-awareness. Based on his background and past deeds, how can anyone from the Xun family be willing to join him? Recruiting him is also in vain."

Xun You smiled slightly and did not comment.

He quickly said what he had in mind and said to Liu Qi: "Your Majesty, you should prepare to send troops now."

"Are you preparing to send troops?" Liu Qi was stunned when he heard this: "Where are we going to send troops?"

Xun You raised his finger and pointed to the north, saying: "Luoyang."

"Luoyang?" Liu Qi was very curious when he heard this: "There is nothing in Luoyang right now, why should I lead my troops to Luoyang? Besides, Yuan Shao has not made any move yet."

"On the surface, nothing happens, but you have to make preparations quickly! In my opinion, although the prince helped Wang Yun defeat Yuan Shao's plan, Yuan Shao will still send troops. Even if there is no reason, he will forcefully find a reason to send troops.

And it won’t take long.”

"Why?"

"Yuan Benchu ​​has many counselors under his command, and they naturally understand the principle of sending troops quickly to seize the opportunity. If they march at a high speed and capture Luoyang, the monarch will be helpless if he sends troops to Luoyang later. After all, at that time, the emperor has been captured by Yuan Shao.

If we have it in our hands, we will only need an edict at that time, and the princes will have to retreat back to Xiangyang to defend themselves. If you don't respect the edict, it will be like treason."

"Yes, yes, you are right to remind me. We should make preparations now. We cannot wait for Yuan Shao to take action first and then react. It will be too late."

Xun You stood up and said, "Xun wants to accompany you on this trip north."

Liu Qi waved his hands and said: "No! You can't move lightly. I have been fighting in the south and north for the past two years. You and Huang Hansheng have been guarding Xiangyang together. It was just now impregnable. Nanjun is my foundation, and there must be someone like you in charge.

That's right, but don't worry, when the time comes, I will transfer you to the north to make contributions."

Liu Qi had already thought about it, letting Xun You stay in Xiangyang to take charge, leaving Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong to assist him. When the time was right, he would transfer Xun You away, giving Zhou Yu the illusion that Xiangyang city was empty.

But Xun You was very stubborn.

"Please let me reconsider the candidate." He immediately knelt down to Liu Qi and bowed prostrate.

Liu Qi hurriedly stood up and helped Xun You: "What are you going to do..."

But Xun You prostrated himself on the ground and refused to get up despite Liu Qi's help.

Why did this happen suddenly?

Liu Qi looked at Xun You who had prostrated himself on the ground with a wry smile on his face.

But suddenly, something came to his mind.

Although the Xun family was also a member of the gentry clan and had many interests in common with the Yuan family of Runan, there were also some differences.

Not all the gentry groups in the world are completely obsessed with Confucian classics, nor are they all tied to the interests of behemoths like the Yuan family. There are many gentry groups whose loyalty and dependence on the country comes from the bottom of their hearts.

In particular, Xun Yu and Xun You in history were actually tied to Cao Cao in terms of official career, but in terms of family development orientation and political stance, they were completely different from Cao Cao after he became Sikong, regardless of the Han Dynasty.

How miserable and weak the imperial court was at that time, but they all hoped that the Han imperial court could survive.

Xun Yu even gave his life for this...

Liu Qi stretched out his hand to help Xun You up, but Xun You still didn't move.
