Chapter 166 Changing the Policy, Li Ru's Strategy

After Jia Xu left and was discovered, the entire Xiliang also started from Guzang and quickly boiled.

Jia Xu, the talented talent recommended by Li Ru, was taken away, and once he was found, he would be rewarded even if he didn't get on the rise.

Under this concept, the tranquility of the entire Xiliang began to enter a stage of boiling blood, and the large and small bandits and robbers in Xiliang were also quickly eliminated by the speed seen by the naked eye.

In this kind of anti-bandit campaign, soldiers were also set up at various checkpoints in Xiliang, carefully checking everyone's faces, but despite this, trying to find Xi Zhicai and others in the desolate land of Xiliang was still like looking for a needle in a haystack.

What's more, in addition to the four people in Xi Zhicai's team, the rest are elite soldiers among the elite soldiers, and if they want to avoid these interceptions and climb over the checkpoints in Xiliang, it is very easy for them, but it is just a little difficult for more Xi Zhicai and others.

Soon, Li Ru and Dong Zhuo, who were in Luoyang, also received the news, and Li Ru frowned even more with Dong Zhuo's disdain.

In a big tent in the Luoyang military camp, Dong Zhuo sat on the top and looked at the news that had just come from Xiliang in his hand, while Li Ru sat at the bottom and squinted his eyes slightly, as if he was contemplating something.

"My lord, it seems that Xiliang has been invaded!" Li Ru sighed lightly and said.

"Wen Wei, what do you mean, is there a gap in the Xiliang?" Dong Zhuo raised his head and asked Li Ru, his face became a little serious, after all, the current Si Li is not in his own hands, but there is still an enemy in Luoyang City that cannot be seen.

Dong Zhuo didn't dare to enter Luoyang City too much, every night after dark, he would light a blazing torch around his main account, and send dozens of soldiers to guard the perimeter of the tent, otherwise he wouldn't dare to stay in place even if he was awake.

"It shouldn't be a gap, after all, all the officials in Xiliang are in our hands, if you want to insert a gap in it, you must have planted it ten years ago, at that time, no one should have so much courage when Emperor Ling was alive, I think someone sent his elite soldiers from the wild mountains and forests into Xiliang, and then crossed the checkpoints one by one according to the gourd painting, and finally arrived at Guzang and took Jia Xu away." Li Ru pondered for a while and then said what he had in mind.

"Well, what Wen Wei said is indeed reasonable, so what should we do, after all, no matter which of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty does not have mountains and forests, we don't have so many soldiers to defend the enemy who may pass through the mountains and forests." Dong Zhuo reached out and pointed to the place marked with mountains and forests on the map in front of him.

"Nope! As the saying goes, it is better to be blocked, since someone has now entered Xiliang and taken away Jia Xu, then they already know about our deployment in Xiliang or in Sili, so my lord I request that our strategy of intercepting the news be withdrawn, and we will begin to introduce caravans and displaced people outside, and begin to develop the economy and expand the population. Li Ru said lightly, but there was a resolute look in his eyes.

"However, in this case, wouldn't there be many princes who could know the situation in the division, but in case they combined with Liu Xieli and should cooperate with the outside, what should we do, after all, we haven't completely mastered the division now." Dong Zhuo said with some sorrow.

"My lord, now that the blockade of our various places has restricted the people to activities in one area, it has made the people panic, and after receiving no news from the outside world, this panic is being amplified indefinitely, and if there is no caravan to trade, the capital chain in various places is about to be broken, and then we will be the real internal and external troubles for those princes to take advantage of." Li Ru calmly analyzed the current situation and said.

"Damn! Are we not now stretching out our heads with a knife and shrinking our heads with a knife? Dong Zhuo said resentfully, his eyes were also full of annoyance.

"The lord and the prince take the lesser of the two evils, and it is difficult for our orders to quickly reach the counties with the current blockade, and we will definitely lose if we can't take care of each other in the long run, but if we remove the blockade now, although we have a certain danger, we still have a way to go, and it may not give Emperor Han Xian a chance." Li Ru hurriedly persuaded him.

"Oh, I don't know where it is?" Dong Zhuo also slowly calmed down the anger in his heart after hearing this, after all, now is related to his future direction, which has to make Dong Zhuo think calmly.

"Si Li is the top priority of the Han Dynasty, and it is also the most economically rich place in the entire Han Dynasty, in the past, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty loved to sell official positions, and almost all the rich places in the Han Dynasty were in the pockets of the children of the family, not to mention the central division of the Han Dynasty?" Li Ru said with a smile.

"But we used the opportunity to rob the family of so much money before, and now they won't necessarily listen to me!" Dong Zhuo couldn't help but look big after hearing Li Ru's words.

"Then let's pay them back now, the lord can order that the taxes collected by the counties can be arranged by themselves and do not need to be paid, I don't think they will refuse this cake, and they will support you, the lord!" Li Ru said evilly.

"But how can we afford our army without taxes? I'm afraid it won't be able to support it if you rely on Xiliang alone! Dong Zhuo couldn't help nodding after hearing Li Ru's words, but he couldn't help but feel lonely when he found the loopholes in it.

"This is just an expedient measure, and we can divide some money and grain for those families to pay for it, that is, to protect them, and send some soldiers to the borderless land in the mountains to open up fertile land and produce grain and grass on their own." Li Ru dispelled the doubts in Dong Zhuo's heart with a few words.

"That's it, let's do it according to Wen Wei's method, but when I think of those families being able to benefit from it, I feel a little unhappy in my heart." Dong Zhuo shook his head and said.

"The lord who said that this is for nothing to let those families benefit, we just let them use it themselves, not let them fill their own pockets, the lord can first hold these evidence in his hands, when our talents are trained, we can take the opportunity to raid the house, when the lord can not only win the hearts of the people, but also be able to eradicate many families in the division, and obtain a lot of money and land....." Li Ru said sinikerly again, with a strong killing intent in his tone.

"Hahahaha! I'm already looking forward to this day! After Dong Zhuo heard Li Ru's words, the depression on his face was also swept away, and he said very happily.

Soon Dong Zhuo adopted Li Ru's strategy and lifted the blockade of the two prefectures of Xiliang and Sili, and the people who got news from the outside world also began to settle down, and everyone in Sili County also received Dong Zhuo's order, and everyone sneered and scolded Dong Zhuo for being brainless.

When the family clan knew Dong Zhuo's arrangement, they were also overjoyed, but there were still a few children of the family who were full of sorrow in their hearts, and they didn't know why a sense of crisis suddenly appeared in their hearts, as if there was a dark poisonous snake secretly observing them.

Liu Xie, who was in the palace, was also full of ridicule at Dong Zhuo's actions, but what she was ridiculing was not Dong Zhuo but the family that benefited from it, with Liu Xie's heart, it was not difficult to see the intentions of Li Ru and Dong Zhuo, but now even if he says it, I am afraid that no one will believe it, and he will become a bird.

And those big families do have a certain amount of interference in the future power, Liu Xie is even more reluctant to see these families than Dong Zhuo, and now Dong Zhuo wants to move those families, Liu Xie is too late to be happy, how can he help them, it is also a very pleasant thing to sit and watch the play.

With the issuance of Dong Zhuo's order, the armies of the two states also began to act, Hua Xiong still led tens of thousands of troops to guard the tiger prison, and Zhang Ji took Zhang Xiu to lead tens of thousands of troops back to Xiliang to defend them, after all, it is his foundation and can let Zhang Ji and the two see the importance they attach to them.

Just when Dong Zhuo was making a bold move to carry out his own affairs, a large number of spies also poured in among the subordinates, and Li Ru also turned a blind eye to this, after all, these spies were also very helpful to them.

Soon, the entire princes of the Han Dynasty also died from Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, and Liu Wei and his mother, Empress He and Empress Dowager Dong, all died in their palaces one by one because of excessive sadness, leaving only Liu Xie to inherit the unification.

Suddenly, there was an anti-Dong wave among the entire Han Dynasty again, but the princes everywhere were not as ignorant as those civilians, and they all vaguely knew in their hearts that the things in front of them were not as simple as they saw.

Empress He and Empress Dowager Dong died because they still held this real power in the palace, which made Dong Zhuo dissatisfied and gave death is understandable, but Liu Wei's death seems a little incomprehensible.

Liu Wei is the crown prince of the Han Dynasty, and it stands to reason that this throne will definitely fall on his head, and he is now dying of depression in the palace?! This is simply nonsense, for a prince who is about to ascend the throne, even if his father dies, he will not die of excessive grief.

In the end, the princes of the Han Dynasty discovered that all the power in the palace was now in the hands of Liu Xie, and this series of deaths seemed to have nothing to do with him, but there seemed to be inextricable interests in it.

In addition to the rumors spread by Dong Zhuo, saying that Liu Xie obeyed his words, this made the princes strengthen their minds even more, and the current Emperor Han Xian is definitely not as simple as it seems.

"Ruthless, but the emperor's family." This sentence immediately became an inspiration in the hearts of the princes, and they saw the truth of the incident clearly for the ignorance of the civilians, but they still chose to condemn Dong Zhuo together with the thoughts of the civilians.....
