Beginning a year ago, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, at the suggestion of Yang Biao and Huangfu Li, divided the Western Liang army.

On the one hand, Dong Bai, Tong Yuan, and Zhang Ji, who went out of the town of Xiayang and Hongnong, expressed their friendship. In addition, Dong Cheng's daughter was also accepted as a concubine, and the neutral and weaker faction of the Xiliang Army was wooed.

In the end, he deliberately indulged Li Dao, Guo Yan and Li Ru in arguing in the court. to divide and disintegrate the Xiliang army.

It stands to reason that Dong Cheng should be called the national uncle rather than the national uncle.

But because he was the nephew of the Empress Dowager Dong, Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty missed the Empress Dowager Dong who raised him very much, so the court honored Dong Cheng as the uncle of the country.

It is a pity that Dong Cheng is only at the second- or third-rate level for military and civil affairs, and even if he broadens his horizons, he cannot put forward constructive suggestions.

Finally, under the urging of his daughter, he patted his head and said, "How did I forget them?" It's not good for the Son of Heaven to ask them, can't I go? ”

Who should Li Ru and Jia Xu find first?

Jia Xu's status is a little lower, although he is Li Wei's person, but he has always been a loner, and it is relatively easy to get in touch with. To be honest, Li Ru always made him feel eerie and a little infiltrating. So it's better to find Jia Xu first.

He moved his chubby body and came to visit Jia Xu. Jia Xu glanced at him outside the door and knew why he was here.

Dong Cheng saw Jia Xu's expressionless face, and said hurriedly: "Wenhe, the situation outside is so tense, why do you still have this expression that doesn't matter to you?" Could it be that the Che Rider General's side has already won? ”

Jia Xupi replied with a smile on his face: "Hahaha, Uncle Guo is right, of course they will win." ”

Dong Chengxian was puzzled: "Oh, this is ......"

Suddenly, his face changed, and he said in an instant: "This is inevitable!" How could my Xiliang Army lose to those thieves. We have always chased them to fight, and of course our army will win! ”

Jia Xu's face was expressionless, but he sighed secretly in his heart, his level was really a waste of the multiple identities of this uncle and the national uncle and the Xiliang army.

The reason for this victory is that Li Ru's side has cracked the conspiracy of those scholars and Liu Yan, and Li Dao, Guo Yan, and Fan Chou can temporarily work together to fight the enemy together under his persuasion. And in addition to his ability, the key factor that can promote unity is the stupidity of the rebellious Zhonglang general Du Yu.

This Du Yu has always been at odds with Jia Xu, and he has long seen that Jia Xu has played a vital role in the Xiliang Army. However, Du Yu thought he was smart, and this time he coerced the officials and people who supported the wind to rebel together and stationed in Huaili.

In the past two years, no matter how bad Li Dao is, Guanzhong has been in a peaceful situation, so that the people and officials of Youfufeng will not think about the orthodoxy of imperial power and the border army of the family like these scholars.

If the nobles are in rebellion, they must make good use of their tribes and slaves. In order to gather the number of people, Du Yu coerced the people to achieve their righteousness, isn't this self-destruction!

Jia Xu shook his head, they never understand what the border army, the border people, and even the people of the world want, such a guy is a little smart, how can he be his opponent?

Coupled with the fact that the other party's conspiracy was ruined and there was internal disagreement, Ma Teng and Han Sui did not discuss it in advance, and they didn't even tell Han Sui at the beginning. The Sichuan soldiers were small in number, and it was a labor expedition. Of course, these opponents are not the opponents of Li Dao, Guo Yan, Fan Chou and others who have been united for the time being.

It's a pity that this humble nobleman in front of him doesn't know all this, but he doesn't want to know what to say, whether he is too stupid or too smart.

Jia Xu completed the above analysis in an instant, but no one could see what he was thinking. He pretended not to see why Dong Cheng came, and secretly led the topic: "Uncle Guocai, presumably after the victory, the world will definitely return to stability." ”

Dong Cheng patted his head and said with a smile: "Look at me, I forgot what my daughter just asked." Now that there is a war, there are more than 200,000 refugees in Sanfu, and they will definitely not be able to farm in the short term, so what can they do if they have nothing to eat? ”

Jia Xu was afraid that he would have to sigh in his heart, this person is too easy to get out of the way, and he passed the Son of Heaven through Dong Guiren in one sentence, and Dong Guiren had just seen him, and he said it all.

This person will not be able to take on heavy responsibilities in the future, it is estimated that a look will reveal a ghost in his heart, and after being caught, he will definitely not know how to cover his family and superiors, and it is estimated that he will all be dragged into the water.

Thinking about this, let's not talk to him too much.

"Uncle don't worry, when the war is calmed down and the people return to their hometowns, everything will naturally return to tranquility. Sometimes we don't need to do anything more than give smallholder farmers a safe soil and they will be back to production. ”

Dong Cheng said: "Wen He is right, it seems that it will only take some time. ”

Yes, yes, yes! Spring ploughing has been delayed, and the strong laborers have long been pulled to be strong men and family members, how can it be so simple to recover. This inner monologue, of course, was not something that Dong Cheng, who had a good background and didn't know about civil affairs, could come up with.

After Jia Xu thought about it, he felt that this nonsense was too fake and embarrassing. Could it be that with Dong Cheng, will he really be led crooked?

It doesn't matter if it's true or false, it's better to say less.

Jia Xu watched Dong Cheng move his chubby body and leave.

"It's very rare to solve this problem."

After speaking, he subconsciously looked to the northeast and glanced at the east again.

"No, I can't pay the difference like this, and when I look back, my daughter will say that she doesn't care about her and the Son of Heaven. It's really hard for him to be an uncle and a national uncle. ”

There was no way, Dong Cheng had to drink a few sips of cold water to suppress the shock, and then boldly went towards Li Ru.

It has been a year and a half since Li Ru returned to Chang'an, and he knows that he can't move others without a soldier command, but he doesn't need to go to one side, let alone look at the faces of Li Dao and Guo Yan. In other words, none of the people in the court were his friends, let alone reliable allies.

Someone else agrees with him, or supports him in something, out of complete fear of him and has to agree with him. If it weren't for the fact that Dong Bai, who was quite powerful, respected him more, I am afraid that the ministers of the court and the central government would have risen up and impeached him under the instruction of the Son of Heaven.

If that happens, Li Ru will take refuge in Li Dao, borrow his hand, and let these people bury him. It's a pity that now he has a more reliable plan and doesn't need to die together.

"Wen You save me! Wen You save me! ”

Even if Dong Cheng is your uncle, he doesn't dare to talk to Li Ru normally, he thinks that instead of begging in a low voice, it is better to pretend to cry poor, so it is estimated that it will not be so terrifying.

Li Ru squinted his eyes and looked at Dong Cheng, who was not younger than him in front of him, and was squeezing tears there. He really couldn't laugh or cry, this person was really useless, living like this in this position, maybe he was waiting for one day to be in high spirits.

Considering that he could be regarded as his own person, Li Ru said coldly: "If Uncle Guo has any difficulties, just open your mouth directly, don't insult your family." ”

March in the northwest is still warm and cold, but even so, Dong Cheng is sweating directly. It's difficult, he looks at the scenery from this position, but it's really difficult to do.

Dong Cheng still pretended to suffer a great deal of pain, and said, "Master Wen You must save me." Rumors came out of nowhere in the palace, saying that it was my Dong Cheng who was unlucky, and my daughter was married into the palace at the beginning of the year, and this Ma Teng and Han Sui were going to come to rebel. ”

"Obviously, this is someone who can't get used to my daughter's position and wants to embarrass our Xiliang Army, this is too vicious!"

"What do you want to do? Looking for me to protect your daughter? Or let me help you stifle the message? Surely not those. ”

Li Ru asked three times in a row, which made Dong Cheng almost suffocated, he was especially afraid of Li Ru's terrifying aura, but he didn't expect his verbosity to let Li Ru directly ask him what he was going to do.

He wiped his sweat and said, "The Son of Heaven and my daughter asked me to find a way to solve the refugee problem in Sanfu, after all, if the people can't survive, they may also join the thief army." ”

"Hahahaha! Isn't this problem still easy to solve? Li Ru's laughter carried a sense of disdain and evil, making Dong Cheng not know how to answer.

Li Ru stared at Dong Chengdao, "Three generations ago, even in the Qin Dynasty, useless people had to be disposed of. What do you think of those over sixty years old who are buried if they are useless? ”

Dong Cheng was so frightened that his face was sweating, and he replied, "That kind of thing is just heard, can't it?" Moreover, the Han Dynasty rules the world with filial piety, so I am afraid that it will be criticized by the world. ”

Li Ru's small eyes narrowed, but he did not waver, and continued, "Of course, officials, scholars, and Haoqiang can continue to honor their families, because they have this ability. Naturally, this method will not be tried on them. ”

"But if you don't have this ability, don't say over sixty years old, all people, they should be eliminated! In ancient times, more than sixty people were all buried, and it was also an inevitable choice at that time. Hahahaha! ”

Dong Cheng said, "Refugees are also people of the Han Dynasty, and the Son of Heaven will not agree to your method." ”

Li Ru's beard curled slightly, and said, "This matter is not something I want to do, but a fact that is happening." Li Dao and Guo Yan only left the young and strong, and the major scholars only accepted those who were useful to them. Aren't the other refugees the first to die? What is the difference between recognition and non-recognition? ”

"That's all I have to say, it's something that's happening, and I'm not going to stop it, because that's what I see as the law of survival!"

Dong Cheng was in a daze when he left, and all the old people over sixty years old were cleared. This kind of terrible thing has only been heard of in the legends of the three dynasties and the pre-Qin dynasty, but isn't it happening now?

Li Ru didn't dare to tell the Son of Heaven and his daughter, let him think of an idea, of course he couldn't think of it. I went to consult two smart guys, and as a result, one was very optimistic, saying that it would be natural and that the other said that all those over sixty years old would be killed and useless people would be eliminated completely.

Li Dao and those Dashi clans didn't have anyone to mess with, and he didn't have anything to do in the end, so he just pretended to be a dead dog.
