Wugu Nalan deliberately hinted that Du Zhen wanted to get closer to Beigong Xiang, although Du Zhen's brain was bright, but he still didn't know anything about men and women, and he didn't know how to answer, so he buried his head under his arm in shame. Pen~Fun~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Wugu Nalan saw his intentions and left with a laugh.

How could Du Zhen know her thoughts. Although Ugu Nalan is a violent person, she is also very methodical in doing things. She has been married to Dong Zhuo for two years, and she sees her like a tiger and wolf. Dong Zhuo has been extremely lustful since he became an adult, but although Nalan did not conceive a child and a half for the Dong family in the two years of marriage, Dong Zhuo did not dare to accept new people, which shows that this lady is by no means idle.

And she, Sazhu Beigong Xiangsheng, is extremely peugeot and lovely, although she is still young, Dong Zhuo has long coveted it, but although this little beauty is lucky, he has scruples and does not dare to mess around.

Today, Wugu Nalan saw that Sazhu had some thoughts about Dong Zhuo's righteous brother, and Du Zhen was also very interested in Beigong Xiang, so it was better to match them as soon as possible, and it would be better to eliminate Dong Zhuo's evil thoughts.

Where did this Beigong incense come from, because Dong Zhuo didn't dare to do frivolous things to her? This is to mention her father's department, the handsome Beigong Yu of the Qianghu tribe. Beigong Yu was just at the age of not confused, and he served as the leader of his clan since he was 20 years old, and he was a man of eloquence and strategy, and coveted the Han Dynasty for many years, with 50,000 soldiers, and gathered martial arts, which was actually a warlord. Although Dong Zhuo is fierce, he will never dare to offend Beigong Yu at this moment, he is indeed quite restrained because of Beigong Xiang's handsome father.

Most of the Qiang people in the northwest are upright and violent, and there is no law in the tribe, only killing people to pay for death, and there are no other prohibitions. Even Dong Zhuo didn't dare to offend anyone at the moment, and Wugu Nalan, who grew up in this environment, was also a strong person, but it was enough for him to drink a pot. That Beigong Xiang is also the same as her, everything is informal, but Du Zhen is quite admired.

Du Zhen lived in Dongjiazhuang for four years, but it was by no means a white eclipse, although he was young, he was well-versed in the past and the present, good at scheming, and also gave a lot of advice to his brother Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo is ambitious and wants to dominate one side, how can Du Zhen not know? He advised his righteous brother to recruit Qiang Yong, and brought some Han soldiers who had been loyal for many years as leaders, he said that the Qiang people were more able to bear hardships and stand hard work than the Han people, and they were good at fighting bravely, and they were lucky to die in battle, and the end of their illness was unknown; The Han people, on the other hand, are both strategic and good at controlling things.

Under the planning of the two of them, Dong Jiabing's power has increased greatly compared to before. Dong Zhuo saw that his righteous brother was quite capable, and the two had already made friends, so he often discussed the current situation with him.

On this winter night, Dong Zhuo would go to Du Zhen's room before going to bed as usual, and Du Zhen saw that his eyebrows were tightly locked, so he asked, "Brother Yi, why are you worried?" ”

Dong Zhuo stomped his feet and pounded the table, and said hatefully: "Brother-in-law, you also know that I, Dong Zhuo, don't like to be just an ordinary man, and I vow to do something in this life, but now I am guarding this Dong Jiazhuang, but I don't know how to be strong?" ”

Dong Zhuo is by no means empty, although he Dongjiazhuang has been strong and strong in recent years, he knows how many catties and taels he has. Two years ago, Wugu Nalan's father's department, the heroic commander of Sister Qiang, despite Dong Zhuo's bitter persuasion, insisted on joining forces with the four departments of Lingqiang, Lingwuqiang, and Shen's Qiang.

Du Zhen knew what he was thinking, and said to him: "Brother Yi, there has been chaos again in the past two years, do you want to show your strengths?" ”

Dong Zhuo said worriedly: "Those who know me are also righteous brothers." How could I not want to? I, Dong Zhuo, dreamed that one day, all directions would be able to listen to my orders, and they all said that tigers would emerge from the mountains and dragons would appear in the sea. The mountains and seas are turbulent, and now is the best time, but I, Dong Zhuo, am powerless and inactive, so how can I not worry? ”

Du Zhen said: "Brother Yi, if you have such a mind, first of all, you must be clear about your catties, what you can do and what you can't do." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Dong Zhuo was puzzled and asked.

Du Zhen said: "Although the righteous brother has worked hard in the past few years, Dongjiazhuang has always been just a family arm, how can he get involved in this chaos and still be able to keep himself safe?" Why did the Qiang people rebel? The first is to be dissatisfied with the harsh government of the imperial court, and the second is to seek profits, who doesn't want their power to grow? Two years ago, your father-in-law had an incident, and you also went to dissuade him, but he risked the danger of exterminating the clan and did not listen to your kind words and persuasion, and insisted on doing it, why is this? One is that you are soft-spoken, and he will not listen to you at all; The second is to pursue self-interest. ”

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he immediately became angry, and said angrily: "Lao Tzu thought that relying on Nalan's relationship, he could persuade his stinky mother-in-law and his father, but I really didn't expect him to be so faceless, and this incident made me unable to raise my head in front of Taishou Sun Qiang." "It turned out that two years ago, Lingqiang moved the other three Qiang to cause trouble, and the rumors had already leaked, and Sun Qiang, the Taishou of Longxi, knew the relationship between the Dong family and the prison sister Qiang, so he asked Dong Zhuo to go to persuade him, but he didn't expect that this matter would be in vain, and Dong Zhuo was indeed losing face in front of the two parties.

Du Zhen smiled: "In front of interests, how much can face be worth?" He didn't wait for his righteous brother to speak, and continued: "In the past, your Dong family did mediation from it, and many Qiang heroes were friendly with your family, but this is all superficial. The Dong family is well with all parties, and your father has already done it. But if you want to speak with weight, and others can listen to you, you can only rely on your own strength. If the position is high, it is weighty, and if it is weak, it is light, this is the truth. ”

Dong Zhuo listened to what he said very reasonably, although the Dong family is currently friendly with many forces, but it can only make everyone safe, and when it comes to a critical moment, no one can listen to you. He asked again, "Brother Yi, what do you think I should do?" ”

Du Zhen replied: "With the current strength of the Dong family, this is less than a thousand Qiang Yong, and even other people's snacks are not enough to cook. The only solution at the moment is to rely on the forces of the previous side. ”

After Dong Zhuo heard this, he was worried again, and he said: "But, if my Dong family picks a side, won't all these years of hard work be in vain?" What he said is also the truth, the Dong family has been a good person in front of all parties for many years, and has never opposed anyone, but if he obeys the orders of one party, he will inevitably tear his face with the enemy.

Du Zhen said: "Brother Yi, if you want to be strong, you have to sacrifice some vested interests in front of you, it depends on how you choose." If you don't hurt anyone, Dongjiazhuang will always be just Dongjiazhuang. ”

Dong Zhuo pondered Du Zhen's words for a long time, and asked, "Then according to you, who should I rely on?" "He is more confused about this issue at the moment, attached to the Han people? In this northwest land, the warlords are divided, and there are many powerful places, who should they rely on? Dependent on the Qiang? There are as many Qiang tribes as the stars in the sky, and it is not easy to choose, and at the moment, even this prison sister Qiang herself can't figure it out, how can she say anything else?

Du Zhen replied: "Brother Yi, as Han Chinese, I naturally think it is better to rely on the Han forces; However, you are also friendly with the Qiang people, and you are the son-in-law of the prison sister Qiang, how to choose, but the brother does not dare to make the decision for you. ”

As Du Zhen, he grew up in Qiang since he was a child, and the number of Han people he met was limited. The only trace of national emotion he has is from Yang Zhang's verbal indoctrination in him for many years, but he has no experience, not to mention that his parents died at the hands of Han officials. However, this will not make him prefer the Qiang people, he just knows that the righteous brother is also friendly with the Qiang people, and Dong Zhuo is a person who will see what emotions, he only wants to rely on the strongest party. Whether it is a Qiang person or a Han person, he can't make decisions for him now.

"Brother Yi, which side do you think is the strongest?" Sure enough, Dong Zhuo is most concerned about the strong and weak.

"It's also Han." Du Zhen blurted out.

Dong Zhuo heard him answer so quickly, and said unhappily: "Brother-in-law, but because you and I are both Han, you chose it this way?" Do you want to know that this matter is related to the survival of my Dong family, how can you talk about emotions? ”

Dong Zhuo's heart had already been seen through by Du Zhen, and he said, "Brother-in-law." I'm judging by power. You see, the Qiang people, although they are all brave and good at fighting, are scattered, with many tribes, and they are not united enough, so they cannot be cohesive together to form a force strong enough to confront the imperial court. ”

Du Zhen continued: "Every time the Qiang is chaotic, most of them are temporary alliances between several tribes, such as the four years of Yanxi, the prison sister Qiang of the brother and sister-in-law's family, and the first Lingqiang, Lingwu Qiang, and Shen Qiang, although the four combined forces started an incident, they were finally broken by Zhonglang's Huangpu Gui; Last year's Bird Wuqiang and Shen Qiang tribes rose up, and they were finally subdued; This year, Longxi Taishou Sun Qiang broke another five or six thousand people in Yunnan. ”

Dong Zhuo listened to Du Zhen's analysis, but said: "Brother Yi, if I can reunite with Zhuqiang, will I be able to compete with the Han Court strongly?" ”

Du Zhen was puzzled and asked him: "You just asked me which side is better, and I answered truthfully, but why did you go against the imperial court?" ”

Dong Zhuo snorted coldly and replied: "Lao Tzu doesn't like today's saint very much, he is lascivious all day long, how can I serve him?" ”

Du Zhen said: "Even if you don't like it, you have to do it, and it is impossible to reunite the Qiang." ”

Dong Zhuo was puzzled and asked, "Why is this?" ”

Du Zhen analyzed with him: "Brother Yi, there are hundreds of Qiang tribes, scattered and scattered, you know this. Not to mention that even if the righteous brother has great energy and wisdom to make friends and win them over, even if you get what you want, you can command Baiqiang, and you will not be able to defeat the Han family in the future. ”

Dong Zhuo hurriedly said: "Why? ”

Du Zhen said: "The Qiang soldiers are long in the valley, but they are shorter than the flat land; Although he is good at sudden short-handed combat, he cannot fight a protracted war; Even if you can survive this northwest mountain wilderness, once you enter the hinterland of the plains, you will definitely be defeated. ”

"This ......" Dong Zhuo thought in his heart: what the righteous brother said is indeed true, although the Qiang soldiers are brave and good at throwing targets, they don't like to shoot bows. In melee combat in the mountains and forests, javelins have an advantage over bows and arrows; But once in the flats, the bow and arrow can be used at a very long distance, and the range of the Qiang army's javelin is far less than that of it, and it will decline by itself; The Qiang soldiers are fierce for a while, but they are not durable enough, which is related to their character, it is brought by blood, but it is also extremely difficult to change.

After a long time, Dong Zhuo raised his head and asked, "There are many heroes in this Northwest Han Dynasty, who can let me Dong Zhuo listen to orders?" ”
