518. Zhang Ji's decision
Seeing the discussion around him, Zhang Ji was not in a hurry, he and his wife Zou Xiangyu nodded, and then said to Li Hugo: "Hugo, what do you think?"
"I don't need to look at it, my brother-in-law is afraid that he already has a number. Li Hugo said.
Zhang Ji nodded with satisfaction: "But General Ben still wants to hear from you." ”
"To put it simply, it's just a sentence, if you can't beat him, you will join him, my brother-in-law knows that the place where we are is not far from Luoyang, and it is only a three-day walk, if Dong Zhuo wants to be unfavorable to us, we can't beat them at all, so since we can't beat Dong Zhuo, it is better to join them, now Dong Zhuo is in the sky, it can be said that one person is above ten thousand people, and the power is tilted towards the government and the opposition!" Li Hugo said.
Zhang Ji laughed, he was surprised that Li Hugo saw it clearly.
Li Hugo looked at Zhang Ji's expression, and quickly changed his tone: "However, he, Dong Zhuo, as a warlord and a powerful minister, is fierce by nature, wantonly playing with power, killing and astringent gold, silver and jewelry, big fish and meat, beautiful singers, and his mansion is brightly lit......"
Li Hugo told everything he knew about Dong Zhuo.
Since Lu Bu joined, Dong Zhuo's power has gradually grown, he began his extravagant life, after Dong Zhuo entered Beijing Chang'an, he first abolished Emperor Liu Bi, and let Emperor Xian Liu Xie extremely, but now Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty is still very weak, and he has no ability to compete with Dong Zhuo, so Dong Zhuo basically grasped the government.
Li Hugo said: "Dong Zhuo is not a relative, when he came to power, the first thing was to make all his brothers and sisters kings, marquis, even if it was the kind of newborn child, he also became an official at birth, except for this, he built a place called Mei Wu not far from Kyoto, and put all the things stolen from the people in it, it is said that the food alone is enough for him to eat for decades, plus some other gold and silver treasures and so on. ”
As soon as these words came out, the surroundings suddenly fell silent, and Zhang Ji said, "Why do you know so clearly?"
"Because I'm coming back from Luoyang. Li Hugo said.
Zhang Ji's face deteriorated: "Go on." ”
"Mei Wu's matter, I heard that Dong Zhuo is also very proud to tell his subordinates, if one day I fail, I will hide here, live a peaceful and stable life, when in the imperial court, whenever there are some officials who do not meet Dong Zhuo's requirements, Dong Zhuo will kill them directly, all the officials of the imperial court are very afraid, and discuss to get rid of this demon king together, but he now has Lu Bu, the peerless god of war, Lu Bu is very strong, very brave, Dong Zhuo let Lu Bu accompany him every day to protect his safety, others are afraid of Lu Bu's martial arts, and they dare not easily attack Dong Zhuo。 ”
Li Hugo took a deep breath, he looked around and said: "Such a devil, only use relatives, if you take refuge in him, at most you can only become their pawn and stepping stone." ”
Li Hugo said that it was prosperous because on the original historical trajectory, Zhang Ji and a group of people were simply stepping stones, and they were called by Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo almost occupied Zhang Ji's wife, that is, Zou Xiangyu in front of him now.
Everyone listened to Li Hugo's words, they were quite silent, Zou Xiangyu saw her husband's ugly face, she gritted her teeth and said: "Brother, then you say, where should we go now, you know...... Although we are now the county guards who occupy one side, among the county guards around Luoyang, we are the weakest. ”
"Being weak naturally has the advantage of being weak. Li Hugo said, "Dong Zhuo is now in power to the government and the opposition, more than us, less than us, even if we pass, it is also for people to do miscellaneous, for example, their subordinates are in trouble, we wipe their butts, it is basically impossible to get reused, you say who of us here can beat Lu Bu? Whose strategy can beat Jia Xu and Li Ru......? If we can't, then why are we wading through this troubled water?"
"But it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us. Zhang Jidao.
"Indeed, but don't forget, opportunities come with disaster, if Dong Zhuo loses once, as followers, we will be the first to be fired!"
Li Hugo's words also made the people around him nod their heads.
Zhang Xiu said: "Boss, then you say, where are we going now? Now we only have Hongnong County, a territory the size of a bean, and the resources are not abundant, and the population is not large, if we don't try to develop, wouldn't it be very bad?"
"Recharge your batteries, dare I say...... Dong Zhuo will inevitably provoke the anger of the heavens and the people in the future, and then be requisitioned by others, how can the foundation of the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years be destroyed in the hands of a reckless man in Xiliang?" Li Hugo said.
Zhang Ji looked at his wife, Zou Xiangyu also nodded hurriedly, she said: "Hugo is polite, in this case, we might as well build up the foundation of Hongnong County first, let the people be happy, and then organize the army." ”
"Okay, just do what Hugo said!" Zhang Ji also made up his mind and no longer thought about the issue of taking refuge.
In fact, what Li Hugo said he also understands, Dong Zhuo has countless capable people in his hands, no more than him, no less than him, it is better to be a chicken head than a phoenix tail, and if his own people and horses were cannon fodder for Dong Zhuo in the past, how could he be worthy of these soldiers who followed him.
Li Hugo also nodded secretly, and said in his heart that Zhang Ji is worthy of being Zhang Ji, if it is the original history, Dong Zhuo only has a hiccups, only two people are mixed, one is Zhang Ji, and the other is Guo Yan, these two people are smart people, and Lu Bu is different, they know how to protect themselves.
If Zhang Ji joined Dong Zhuo now, he would be chic for a year or two, but what was waiting for him was a catastrophe, and his wife would be snatched away by Cao Mengde.
Li Hugo is not a fool, he can see that this Zou Xiangyu is sincere to himself, and maybe he also likes his own ability, but that is only a part, since he has recognized a godsister here, how can he watch his relatives go to the point of no return?
After the banquet, Zou Xiangyu took Li Hugo to visit the barracks, at this time Diao Chan had already returned, Zou Xiangyu said: "Brother, my mother's grave, I have moved over." ”
"Well, I'll go to worship tomorrow, Sister has really worked hard for you these days. Li Hugo said.
Zou Xiangyu said with a smile: "It's not hard, but your brother-in-law's body is getting worse day by day, I'm just worried about this...... Your brother-in-law originally had a wife, and I should call her my sister according to her seniority, but after my sister was pregnant at the time, she died in childbirth, which also made your brother-in-law childless, and Zhang Xiu had to be accepted as a slave, and your brother-in-law is actually a very difficult person......"
