Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 417 Jia Xu's Thoughts

When Jia Xu heard the movement in front of Zhu Wei's army camp, he raised his head and opened his eyes to look in the direction where Zhu Wei came from, and then felt a slight thump in his heart.

Obviously, with Jia Xu's intelligence, he has already guessed that Zhu Wei's scenes and actions are probably for himself.

Reminiscent of Zhu Wei's agreement with Zhang Xiu to surrender, and the alliance against Cao Cao's Xia Houyuan's troops, and the condition that he should join Zhu Wei's army, Jia Xu felt that Zhu Wei seemed to attach great importance to him, which made Jia Xu feel a little bit disturbed.

Jia Xu was also surprised. Why did Zhu Wei value himself so much? Jia Xu thought he was a person who kept a low profile and didn't like to show his face very much. In fact, he just wanted to live in peace in such a troubled world.

Earlier, Jia Xu served as an official in Dong Zhuo's army, just to make a living.

After all, in such a chaotic environment in the Northwest these days, if you don't serve as an official, you may be killed by bandits, aliens, or rebels at any time, and your family may be wiped out.

So joining Dong Zhuo's army, which was the most powerful in the Northwest back then, would naturally have an official position to protect his own safety and protect his family.

However, Jia Xu originally entered Dong Zhuo's army as an official under Niu Fu's subordinates only as a clerk, but at most he became an assistant in Niu Fu's army. dawdle.

But after Dong Zhuo's death, Jia Xu was naturally Dong Zhuo's remaining party. At that time, Wang Yun wanted to wipe out the Northwest soldiers brought by Dong Zhuo. In order to protect himself, he had to come forward to persuade Li Jue, who also belonged to Niu Fu's tent. , Guo Si and others gathered their troops to protect themselves. Afterwards, the Northwest Warlords rioted and killed Wang Yun, the assassin. Naturally, no one dared to continue to do anything to the Northwest Warlords left behind by Dong Zhuo.

It's just that this also led to a scuffle between the Northwest Warlords, which led to Emperor Han Xian being kidnapped by these Northwest Warlords.

At the same time, Jia Xu was seen by Li Jue, Guo Si and others, and would often ask him about strategies, but Jia Xu was still in a self-protective mentality, and rejected many Li Jue, Guo Si and others who kidnapped Han The officials who were entrusted to Emperor Xian, because Jia Xu knew very well that these people had no future, so he didn't need to get involved too much with them, so as not to be involved in the future.

After going on like this, Jia Xu attached herself to Zhang Xiu. Although Zhang Xiu was not a promising figure, Jia Xu felt that she could at least live a stable life with Zhang Xiu.

Then as the situation in the world changed, after Cao Cao coerced the emperor to order the world, Jia Xu persuaded Zhang Xiu to surrender to Cao Cao, because Jia Xu felt that Cao Cao was a person with development prospects, and he could save his life and have a development by investing in Cao Cao. future.

Well, the most important thing is that Jia Xu can change his boss and continue his small life.

It's a pity that Cao Cao's lust made Zhang Xiu surrender and rebel. A good thing turned into a knife and sword, and Jia Xu was helpless.

Then things developed to the current situation. Zhu Wei grew stronger in Yuzhang, and swallowed Jingzhou little by little, until now he completely swallowed Jingzhou and threatened Zhang Xiu to surrender.

Of course, Zhang Xiu consulted Jia Xu again, so Jia Xu considered Zhu Wei's situation, but felt that Zhu Wei's attitude was not inferior to Cao Cao's development prospects.

Although Cao Cao has the general trend of coercing the emperor to order the world, Cao Cao is surrounded by foreign enemies after all. It can be said that he is in a state of being surrounded by enemies. If he can overcome this situation, he can naturally dominate the Central Plains, but if he cannot overcome this situation, he will probably be defeated. .

And Zhu Wei seems to be from an ordinary background, but he is also surrounded by counselors and generals, coupled with his strong military force, he rose to the south in a short period of time, and now swallows the entire Jingzhou, which can be regarded as having a foundation.

At the same time, analyzing the current situation and trend, Jiangdong is also likely to be controlled by Zhu Wei in the future. With the help of the natural danger of the Yangtze River, Zhu Wei will definitely have the strength to separate the south.

Even if Zhu Wei has no prospects for development in the future, the separatist rule of the south can still maintain the foundation for decades.

Therefore, Jia Xu felt that if Zhang Xiu turned to Zhu Wei, it would be a way out. After all, judging from Zhu Wei's current performance, he seems to be an enterprising leader. As long as Zhu Wei does not faint in the future, there may be more opportunities. Big developments are not guaranteed either.

The most important thing is that Zhang Xiu felt rebellious and worried about Cao Cao in the previous battle of Wancheng. After all, Zhang Xiu killed Cao Cao's eldest son and general.

If Zhu Wei hadn't appeared, Jia Xu might have been able to persuade Zhang Xiu to defect to Cao Cao again, but now that Zhu Wei was the choice, Zhang Xiu would of course choose Zhu Wei's side.

Of course, for Jia Xu, he can vote for anyone, as long as he can continue to live with peace of mind.

He is already 50 years old, and he can find a place where there is no war to spend the rest of his life in peace, and he can survive in such a troubled world, which is already a good result.

But Jia Xu didn't expect that Zhu Wei put forward his own conditions to Zhang Xiu.

When Jia Xu heard about this condition, he already had a weird feeling in his heart, but at that time he speculated that Zhu Wei might have deliberately transferred himself away from Zhang Xiu because he knew what influence he could have on Zhang Xiu. , so that Zhu Wei can more easily control Zhang Xiu, a subdued general.

Therefore, Jia Xu didn't think too much about it. Anyway, Zhang Xiu sincerely surrendered. As long as Zhang Xiu didn't act recklessly, as the general of the foreign army who voluntarily surrendered to Zhu Wei, Zhu Wei should give him a good treatment no matter what. will set an example.

As for Jia Xu himself, he felt that as long as he pretended to make Zhu Wei look down on him, he could continue to be a small official at Zhu Wei's side and go about his life with peace of mind.

When Jia Xu came to Zhu Wei's side, she also planned to be humble. Anyway, she wanted to show herself some small skills, but she couldn't take on the big responsibility.

But now Jia Xu felt that he might not be able to hide anymore. Zhu Wei just heard that he was coming, so he made such a gesture to greet him in person.

But Jia Xu couldn't figure out why Zhu Wei valued himself so much.

Of course, on the surface, Jia Xu still pretended to be completely ignorant of what happened, just like ordinary people, as if curiously looking at where Zhu Wei came from.

And Zhu Wei quickly came to the gate of the military village, and asked loudly, "Which one is Mr. Jia Xu, and who is Mr. Jia Xu!"

Jia Xu hastily bowed to Zhu Wei, and responded loudly, "Jia Xu has seen Marquis Qian Tang!"

"Oh, your honor is Mr. Jia Xu. Wei has met Mr., please enter the camp as soon as possible. Mr. Jiuwen is a great resourceful man in the world. To be able to have Mr. Zhang's like-mindedness is like Zhang Hou's to the great ancestor. Wei is very heartbroken. joy!"

Zhu Wei glanced at Jia Xu, hurriedly returned a salute to Jia Xu, then took a step forward and grabbed Jia Xu's arm, as if afraid that he would turn around and run away, and led him to the big tent in the army...
