Hearing Dong Zhuo's method of minting coins and making money, Li Ru thought about it, nodded his head, and agreed with this suggestion, the reason why Liu Bi, the king of Wu in the former Han Dynasty, was able to be rich and rival the country, and even raised a large army to fight against the imperial court, in addition to the income from boiling salt along the coast, was the result of using the copper mountains in the territory to mint money on a large scale.

Although the scope and consequences of this method of reforming the currency and minting a small amount of money are huge, it is also a way to make money from open sources, and it is still much better than Liu Huan and Lu Bu's rough and arrogant way of collecting money.

Besides, Dong Zhuo was on the rise at the moment, and Li Ru didn't want to hurt Dong Zhuo's mind anymore, so although he vaguely felt that there were some places where the coinage matter lacked discussion and perfection, in general, he quickly nodded in agreement.

Dong Zhuo saw that Li Ru also agreed with this kind of method of making money, and he was very proud in his heart, and his attitude towards Li Ru seemed to be as close as when he was in Sanfu and Hedong.

Li Ru saw that Dong Zhuo had more or less finished formulating these military and political plans under his influence, and then returned to the theme of the past, and asked:

"Now that Duke Ming has made a plan for a truce, he doesn't know how to deal with the dispute between Captain Yan and General Xu Zhonglang?"

"Well, in this case, I still want to take Xu Rong as the main general, and reward him generously to calm his heart. At the same time, he promoted Captain Yan Yan to lieutenant to reward him for his merits and recalled his department. In Wenyou's opinion, how? ”

Li Ru also received a secret report from Zhou Liang before, claiming that Xu Rong and Yan Xing had many discords, and mentioned that Xu Rong also took the opportunity to promote his henchmen and generals, and occasionally suppressed Yan Xing.

He knew that when he reached this position, Yan Xing, a chess piece secretly planted by himself, should also move his nest.

So Li Ru also nodded and said:

"That's exactly how it should be!"

After expressing his opinion, Li Ru thought about it, and still asked again:

"Then I don't know how Ming Gong plans to place Yan Duwei's subordinates, whether to send them to Hejin Pass, or to Taigu, Yuyuan Pass, Wuguan and other places?"

At present, in the Dong Allied Army, there are only Yuan Shao and Wang Kuang in Hanoi, as well as Yuan Shu and Sun Jian, who have already merged, if Yan Xing is transferred to Hejin Pass, it will be placed on the northern front to guard against Hanoi, and if it is transferred to Taigu, Yuyuan Pass, Wuguan and other places, it will be to resist Yuan Shu and Sun Jian.

This time, Dong Zhuo shook his head and smiled without saying a word. How to deploy the lieutenant generals and colonels on the front line, Dong Zhuo, who has been in the army for a long time, already has a corresponding plan in his heart.

According to the military newspaper, the Hanoi rebels on the northern front have begun to shrink the defensive line, and the soldiers and horses of the three captains and Jia Xu are still in the various passes of Hejin, which is already more than enough.

As for the combined forces of Sun Jian and Yuan Shu on the southern front, Dong Zhuo's preference was to come to the Central Plains from Liangzhou thousands of miles away, and the troops of Hu Zhen and Yang Ding, who were strong in soldiers and horses, and the flat terrain and flat rivers in Yuzhou were conducive to the rushing field battle of the Western Liang cavalry, and it was also good for Hu Zhen and Yang Ding, who were newly invested in Liangzhou, to establish meritorious deeds and tie up their hearts.

Thinking about these things, Dong Zhuo stroked his beard, laughed, and said:

"This son looks majestic, I love him very much, and what is even more rare is that he takes the lead in fighting with his soldiers, and now he plans to strike with the Kwantung Prefecture first, so send him to Hejin Pass, or Taigu, Wuguan and other places, there is no place for him, and a good knife is wasted!"

Listening to Dong Zhuo's words, Li Ru's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said tentatively:

"What does that mean by Minggong—"

Dong Zhuo smiled, pressed the sword and suddenly got up, stretched his eyes and looked out of the hall, his attitude was excited, looking forward to life, and said with a smile in his mouth:

"Jia Wenhe has suggested to me how much before, if you want to move the capital to Chang'an, then the land of Bashu must be taken, the elite soldiers of Longyou and Hexi are the minions of the land of Guanzhong, and the corn of Bashu is the warehouse that dominates Guanzhong and wins the Guandong."

"In the early years, I also served as the northern governor of Shu County, and I know the wealth of the land of Bashu, salt, iron, corn, wealth and silk, these things are not lacking in Shu, if you can take them, you can solve the dilemma of the emptiness of the imperial treasury. Although Yizhou Mu Liu Yan has a thin name, but has no foundation, after taking office, the affairs of the state are decided by the hands of the state's strong and powerful, and the two sides have a lot of gaps. ”

"Now there are rumors that Qianwei is too shou Ren Qi and captain Jia Long to openly rebel against Liu Yan, the Yizhou pastor, I plan to send Zhao Qian, the captain and general of the chariot cavalry, to lead the troops to Bashu and take the opportunity to seize Shu in one fell swoop."

"And although Zhao Qian is a native of Shu County, he has also begged for the Runan Yellow Turban, and he is considered a person who knows the military affairs, but after all, he is from the court and those scholars, I still don't feel at ease, since the captain Yan Yan is brave and brave to fight, I intend to transfer his troops back to Luoyang first, and then transfer the camera to Zhao Qian's command. In this way, he can not only make full use of his bravery, but also help me monitor Zhao Qian's actions, what does Wen You think? ”

When Li Ru heard that it was Jia Xu's previous suggestion, and that Yan Xing was transferred to a remote place in Bashu, he hurriedly said:

"This, the Shu Road is difficult and dangerous, and our army is good at cavalry, I'm afraid it's not conducive to military achievements, right?"

Dong Zhuo waved his hand when he heard this, and said disappreciably:

"Otherwise, although our army has many cavalry, there are also many Qiang people from Longyou and Wudu, who have grown up in the valley since childhood, and can be driven.

In terms of military affairs, Dong Zhuo, who has been fighting horses for many years, has always been strong, and the army he has set is rarely allowed to be beaked, so Li Ru had to turn around and say:

"Ming Gong planned to make decisions, expected the enemy to win, admirable, en, but it still depends on how Yizhou Mu Liu Yan acts, if Shu has no chance, after all, it is still impossible to go on an expedition to Bashu. After all, Luoyang and Chang'an cannot afford to lose, and the rebellious states and counties in the Kanto region are the great enemies of our time! ”

These words fell in Dong Zhuo's ears, and after thinking about it, he also nodded slowly, admitting that Li Ru's words were right, but the light in his eyes was still flashing, and it was obvious that this idea had been deeply left in his heart.

After Li Ru and Dong Zhuo finished discussing, he walked out of the hall, and after putting on silk shoes, he stopped in the open space outside the hall, squinting at the sun that had moved to Zhongtian, and his eyebrows were already knotted.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this is the time when Dong Zhuo's camp is in full swing, but Li Ru, who is in the bureau, seems to see the black spots in the hot day jumping, and there is a faint momentum of expanding the anti-hot sun.

Thinking of the current situation, Li Ru felt that the current general trend was unpredictable, and the situation inside and outside the court was still unclear after all.

Recalling Dong Zhuo's words just now, Li Ru's hands hidden in his sleeves were clenched into fists.

After setting the plan of postponing the offensive of the front-line army, Dong Zhuo still gave full authority to the chief general Xu Rong to preside over the defense of the front line of Chenggao and Xingyang, and the military order to transfer Yan Xing back to Luoyang was about to be sent to Zhongmu, but!

Yan Xing's army can be controlled by himself, and he must strive to be deployed in the area near Guanzhong to prepare for a rainy day in case of future emergencies.

···

Two days later, the Dong army camp in Xingyang

Xu Rong, who returned to the barracks to take charge of the army, received a military order from Luoyang. In addition to issuing the order to suspend the offensive of the front-line army, the military order also praised Xu Rong's outstanding military exploits, announcing that Luoyang would soon have a reward for rewarding the soldiers, and at the same time strictly stated that the front-line war was presided over by Xu Rong, and all the generals in the army needed to act according to orders.

It's just that at the end, the disposition of Yan Xing's department is also mentioned, that is, to transfer back to Luoyang to listen to the order.

Xu Rong, who learned all the contents of the military order, did not have the anger of hearing that Yan Xing had won the victory in the unauthorized march on the sickbed before, he looked pensive, stood in the military tent with his hands in his hands, and was silent.

After Xu Kun, who was on the side of his entourage, saw Xu Rong's face, he didn't know what he wanted, thought about it, and said tentatively:

"Congratulations, my lord, our army in Yangcheng, Xingyang to defeat the rebels, outstanding achievements, even Xiangguo did not hesitate to praise, the military order and the order of respect and humility in the army, and the soldiers were generously rewarded, it can be seen that Xiangguo still belongs to the Lord in his heart!"

Xu Rong, who was thinking about things, listened to Xu Kun's words and sneered. He dared to impeach Yan Xing, who had made great contributions, naturally he did not act rashly, which included both absolute confidence in his position in Dong Zhuo's heart, and full grasp of the follow-up handling of the dispute.

He has followed Dong Zhuo to fight for many years, conquering the Yellow Turban in the east, pacifying the Qiang Chaos in the west, and has made many military exploits, and recently he has won two big victories in Yangcheng and Xingyang one after another. Just ask Dong Zhuo how to make a trade-off when facing the dispute between himself and Yan Yan, and the result can be known in an instant.

Therefore, Xu Rong's praise and praise, great rewards, and strict respect and humility were all expected by Xu Rong, but what Xu Rong didn't expect was that Xiangguo Dong Zhuo actually ordered the front-line army to suspend the attack, which made him have many doubts in his heart.

According to the meaning of Xu Rong's previous military report, he should take advantage of Sun Jian, a fierce general, to attack with all his strength before his foothold in Yuzhou is unstable, defeat Sun Jian's forces, and capture the entire territory of Yuzhou, so as to completely relieve the trouble of Luoyang's henchmen.

However, Xiangguo, who had always hated the rebellious Kwantung Prefecture, chose the strategy of postponing the attack of the army, which made Xu Rong puzzled after hearing this, and could only temporarily attribute it to Xiangguo's other moves.

After not thinking about these confusing things, Xu Rong turned to the order at the end of the military order, obviously in the controversy, although he had the upper hand, but Yan Yan also relied on the credit of burning the sealed hill to find a shortcut for himself to get out of trouble, but I don't know if there is Li Ru's shadow in this order.

"Kun'er, have the soldiers sent to Yan Yan's camp ever returned?"

"Well, I've come back, and the soldier who came back relayed Yan Yan's words, he said that for the sake of state affairs, he is duty-conscious, although he violates the general's order, but it is beneficial to state affairs, and he has a clear conscience, everything must wait for Luo Yang's decision!"

"What a person who does things for the state, and he doesn't care about himself!"

After listening to Xu Kun's relays of Yan Xing's words, Xu Rong laughed angrily.

"I see that he has different ambitions, and he is afraid that he will be monitored by me under my command and cannot be used, so he has bad intentions, and is eager to get out, and even does not hesitate to risk his life to break into the enemy's territory, and make great achievements with a small number of soldiers and horses, so as to seek self-protection for his disobedience!"

"I have said before that this person has sharp eyes and a strong face, and has the posture of a man, not a person who has lived under the people for a long time, and uses it as a minion, and if he is hungry, he will use it, and if he is full, he will go away. Now the preface is expected, it's a pity! ”

After Xu Rong finished speaking with a sneer, he suddenly sighed again.

Xu Kun pursed his lips, and after a while, he slowly asked:

"I don't know what the adult's pity is?"

"It's a pity for me, first, I didn't kill him on the spot on the edge of the water, second, you saved him in that mountain settlement, and third, when I first saw him in the prisoner camp, although I saw that he had the posture of a hero, but after all, I also had a little regret in my heart, so I let him go."

Later, because of other things, he was brought under his command, giving him the opportunity to make meritorious contributions and grow stronger. Now that I think about it, it's a shame! ”

Xu Rong said to the end, unconsciously sighing. Seeing his uncle like this, Xu Kun didn't know how to persuade him. After Yan Xing returned to Zhongmu, he also sent someone to send him a letter explaining his hardships, but Xu Kun has not replied to him until now.

In the end, Xu Kun quietly saluted and quietly withdrew, Xu Rong looked at Xu Kun's retreating back, his face solemn.

Although Yan Xing already had the momentum to get out, his strength was still weak and he couldn't really pose a substantial threat to Xu Rong, and after Xu Rong sighed, he gradually let go of the entanglement in his heart.

"A tiger for a while, a few generations of trouble, the momentum of the other generation has been achieved, and it is useless to force it. That's it, that's it, just save a chance for the time being, and leave it to these future generations to solve. ”
