Zhen Dao replied: "It's a little ashamed! When my mother heard about the crusade against Dong Thief, she decided that General Wei would definitely participate, so she specially ordered me to lead a thousand Zhongshan cavalry to help! I happened to meet General Hakuba halfway through the road, so I was invited by him to go here together. Originally, yesterday we wanted to come over to meet the general, but we were stopped by General Baima, saying that the general had important matters to discuss with the princes, and it was inconvenient to meet us. ”

He Xian nodded, thinking that Gongsun Chan was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he did not leak anything. At the end of the Han Dynasty, those who could divide one side really had something outstanding.

"Even if you're here to fight, why do you still bring Zhen Xiaomei?"

Zhen Dao looked a little embarrassed.

Zhen Yu stepped forward and replied, "My mother ordered me to go to Nanyang Water Mirror Academy to study!" ”

Although the Han Dynasty did not encourage women to study, it did not prohibit it. Cai Yong's daughter Cai Wenji and Huang Yancheng's daughter Huang Yueying are all talented women who have gone down in history. Zhen Yu herself is also a talented woman in history, and there is a poem "Tang Shangxing" that has been passed down to future generations. Zhen Yu wants to study in the academy, which is no problem in itself, but as a woman who travels thousands of miles from Zhongshan to Nanyang to study, this is a bit strange.

"My mother asked General Wei to take care of my sister!" Zhen Dao added.

As soon as Zhen Dao finished speaking, Guo Jia looked at He Xian with a look of sudden realization. From Guo Jia's cheap expression, He Xian read the intention of Mrs. Zhen: she wanted to marry the He family! But because Zhen Yu was still young, he could only go to Nanyang in the name of studying first.

"Does the old lady have any other advice?" He Xian thought for a moment and continued to ask.

Zhen Yu replied with a prepared look: "Since Yuan Benchu arrived in Jizhou, the forces of the Yuan clan in Zhongshan have begun to move again, coveting the control of Zhongshan and the industry of my Zhen clan. My mother ordered me to ask the general, should the Zhen family stick to Zhongshan, or should it be better to retreat somewhere? ”

As He Xian's early ally, or in other words, he wanted to rely on He Xian's family, but because of geographical relations, he could not receive the protection of He Xian's military power. Jizhou is too far away, and Nanyang whip is beyond reach. In the long run, the Zhen clan either couldn't withstand Yuan Shao's pressure, and threw himself into the arms of the Yuan clan as he did in history and became his vassal; Or, you can only think about moving, such as going to Nanyang County! And Mrs. Zhen sent Zhen Yu over to show an attitude: Zhen still wants to follow He. If He Xian refuses Zhen Yu, then it is equivalent to rejecting Zhen's refuge. If He Xian accepts Zhen Yu, then Zhen is now facing a predicament, and He Xian has the obligation and responsibility to help Zhen solve this predicament!

"Bonghyo, what do you think?" The people present were all smart people, and He Xian did not shy away from asking.

Guo Jia put away the banter and began to pace back and forth in the tent.

"Han Wenjie is only ambitious, and Jizhou will fall into the hands of Yuan Benchu sooner or later! Yuan Benchu is not a good type, and it is impossible for Zhongshan to wander out of the sphere of influence, so he is determined to swallow Zhongshan and swallow the wealth of the Zhen family! The disaster of Yuan Lie three years ago can be seen in his planning. ”

He Xian and Zhen Dao nodded frequently.

"Now in front of Zhen, there are only two ways to go!"

Zhen Dao clenched his fists and asked, "Dare to ask which two roads are they?" ”

"First, go south to Wancheng. Second, go north to Chishan. ”

"Go north to Chishan?" He Xian's eyes lit up.

Zhen Dao hurriedly asked, "What is the difference between the two roads?" ”

"It's a big difference! If the Zhen family just wants to be a rich and noble family in peace, then they quickly pack up and take the clansmen south to Wancheng. There is the protection of General Wei, and he is the county guard of one side, and the heirs are extended. ”

Zhen Dao nodded, and said thoughtfully: "Then what if you go north to Chishan?" ”

"Wuhuan Qiu Liju has always dreamed of returning to Chishan, and the Zhen clan can build Chishan City at the foot of Chishan under the pretense of Wuhuan people. Absorb displaced people from all over the world, reclaim farmland, develop animal husbandry, and accumulate strength. Gongsun Chan is an ally of the lord, as long as the lord speaks openly, Gongsun Chan will definitely take more care. After the lord swept away the rebellion in the Central Plains, the Zhen family only needed to bring the alien race back to Han, and all the families could be crowned! Guo Jia said word by word.

The six words "all doors can be sealed" deeply shocked Zhen Dao's heart. Of course, this is Guo Jia's exaggeration, but it is enough to show how much credit is contained in this matter. But as the saying goes, how much profit you have, you need to take more risks. Zhen's family has spanned the political and business worlds for more than 100 years, and Zhen Dao certainly understands the truth.

"One more bonus! There are many coal mines and iron mines near Chishan, and Zhen's weapon production line can be disassembled and relocated to Chishan City! In the next few years, the Han Dynasty will inevitably fall into continuous war, and the sale of weapons and armaments alone will be enough for the Zhen clan to dominate the Northern Grassland! He Xian added another important piece of information.

Zhen Dao was obviously tempted, but out of his usual cautious attitude, he said that the final decision still needed to be consulted by Mrs. Zhen and several brothers. He Xian said that he understood that no matter whether Zhen went south or north, He would help as much as possible.

Zhen Dao asked Zhen Yu about studying again, and He Xian said that he could immediately repair a letter to Shuijing Academy. But because He Xian was already short of troops, he could no longer divide his troops to escort Zhen Yu, so he could only trouble Zhen Dao to lead the Zhongshan cavalry to Nanyang Wancheng in person.

Zhen Dao's mind at this time has shifted from leading the troops to fight Dong Zhuo's military exploits to the road of going to Chishan to build a city and be a small prince.

Zhen Yu originally wanted to follow He Xian's side, but now that he saw that there was no hope, he could only follow Zhen Dao with a sad look and left the Chinese army camp to study in Nanyang. Because Zhen Dao had no choice but to return to Zhongshan and discuss with Mrs. Zhen the big event that would determine the fate of the Zhen family in the next hundred years!

……

Luoyang, Taishifu. Since Yuan Kui, Yuan Feng and others were imprisoned, there was no one in the court who could restrain Dong Zhuo, and even Emperor Liu Xie Dong Zhuo did not take it to heart, and no matter how big or small the affairs of the court were decided in the Taishi Mansion. On this day, after the court meeting, Dong Zhuozheng drank with Han Sui, the general of Anyuan, Ma Teng, the auxiliary general and others. Lang Zhong ordered Li Ru to come in a hurry and presented Yuan Shao's "Anti-Dong Zhuo Wen".

Dong Zhuo was both shocked and angry, and hurriedly summoned the generals to discuss countermeasures.

Guangluxun and Wenhou Lu Bu stepped forward and said: "Don't worry, Taishi. The princes outside the gate are just a bunch of local chickens and dogs, vowing to lead the army of tigers and wolves, beheading them and hanging above the capital gate. “

Lu Bu said it domineeringly, and Dong Zhuo was very pleased to hear it: "Fengxian is really loyal and brave, I have Fengxian, I can sit back and relax!" ”

Before the words were finished, Xu Rong, the lieutenant general of the Dianjun Army, and Hua Xiong, the lieutenant general of the Fu Army, came out one after another and said: "Kill chickens with a knife? If you don't go to the Marquis of Lao Wen in person, I will cut the heads of all the princes, such as probing the bag and taking the ears! “

Dong Zhuo was overjoyed and ordered Lu Bu to be the main general, Xu Rong and Hua Xiong assisted, and Li Su, Hu Zhen, Zhao Cen and other partial generals accompanied him, leading the foot to ride 50,000 starry nights to meet the enemy.
