Chapter 61: Apprenticeship

After Dong Shouye dealt with a series of trivial affairs, he began to think about finding a military advisor or a teacher for himself. If you want to say that the candidates for the military division are naturally ready-made, Jia Xu, the old poison, is the best candidate, and he is still in the Xiliang Army, so it can be said that the building near the water is the first to get the moon! However, it is not possible to express the miracle of the unpredictable prophet, which would also arouse suspicion. In general, this matter still has to be discussed with his cheap son Dong Zhuo and cheap brother-in-law Li Ru.

So, arrange for the little guy to wait outside the meeting hall, seeing that Dong Zhuo and Li Ru are free, or when they are not in the deliberations, they come to report to Dong Shouye, and after getting the news, they immediately rushed to the meeting hall to meet them.

At this time, Dong Zhuo and Li Ru estimated that they had finished dealing with the matter at hand, and Dong Zhuo saw Dong Shouye coming in from outside, so he asked: "My son is not in the army, but he came to the council hall, I don't know what happened?" ”

Dong Shouye's guy also began to behave at this time, and saluted his cheap son Dong Zhuo and said, "Father, the child is fine." It's just that seeing that his father is busy with affairs all day long and can't rest, the child is very worried and wants to visit his father, firstly to see if he can share his father's worries, and secondly, to see if he can learn some skills from his father and eldest brother-in-law. ”

Dong Zhuo smiled and said, "You kid, you're flamboyant." Tell me, what's going on? ”

Dong Shouye scratched his head and said: "My father is really wise and powerful, and I know everything, and the child's little trick was immediately seen through by my father. In the past year, the child has fought many times, although he relies on his father's divine might, and his father has taught his children a lot of battlefield experience, and he has many luck results, but he still feels that he has many shortcomings, and the child wants his father to find a military advisor or teacher for the child, and the child in the army, the child can also listen to the teachings sooner or later, learn more, and better share the worries of the father in the future. ”

Dong Zhuo laughed and said: "Although my son is on the battlefield, a little success, but he can still be humble, positive, and feel very comforted for his father, the eldest husband crisscrosses the battlefield, and makes a name for himself with the three-foot long sword in his hand. ”

When Dong Shouye heard this, he was really used to the battlefield, and all he thought about was a straightforward battlefield confrontation, and ignored the tactics of the military advisers and staff officers, or conspiracy and trickery, so although he was a manly man and a bright and upright man, he would inevitably be victimized by Wang Yun, a sinister literati who was good at conspiracy and tricks. Dong Shouye can be regarded as looking at history in the 21st century, and knows that if he wants to pacify the world, it is not enough to rely only on the courage of the horseman, but also to use the intelligence of the world as Cao Cao said, in order to overcome difficulties, persevere, and finally achieve a great cause. Of course, as Dong Zhuo's cheap son, he can't speak out against his cheap words.

At this time, Dong Shouye's cheap brother-in-law Li Ru spoke: "Prime Minister, you have been in the world for forty years, winning a hundred battles, invincible in the world, naturally you don't have to rely on others, and although the virtuous brother Shouye is adhering to his father's wisdom and talented, but after all, he is still young and his experience is insufficient. ”

When Dong Shouye heard Li Ru's words, he couldn't help but nod in agreement, at this time, his cheap Lao Tzu held the power of the world in his hands, and he abolished the Son of Heaven between his backhands, the power was monstrous, and no one in the world was invincible, so now he is also very full of will and arrogant. This kind of situation is also pervasive everywhere in the entire Xiliang Army, which also makes Dong Shouye worried. And Li Ru can still keep a clear mind at this time, which is not easy.

Dong Zhuo also became a little concerned when he heard Li Ru's words at this time, after all, what he said was also very reasonable, although Dong Zhuo was a little arrogant at this time and didn't take ordinary people in his eyes, but after all, he had not reached the point of being deaf in old age. Moreover, at this time, Dong Zhuo and Li Ru were still in the honeymoon period, and Li Ru could also be said to be obedient, seeing that Li Ru insisted on finding a military advisor for Dong Shouye, he asked out loud: "Wenyou, do you have a suitable candidate?" ”

Li Ru lowered his head and thought for a while and said, "Prime Minister, do you still remember Yan Zhong in Liangzhou?" ”

Dong Zhuo said: "Of course I remember, Yan Zhong is a native of Hanyang, Liangzhou, a famous man in the world, in the first year of Zhongping, during the rebellion of the Yellow Turban Moth Thieves, Yan Zhong was the military advisor of Huangfu Song, and he also made great contributions in the Battle of the Yellow Turban. In December of the fourth year of Zhongping, Han Sui killed Bian Zhang, Beigong Boyu, Li Wenhou, and three people, gathered 100,000 people to attack Shaanxi, Zhongping five years, Han Sui and Liangzhou Sima Ma Teng united, pushed the kingdom as the main, attacked Sanfu. In February of the sixth year of Zhongping, Han Sui and Ma Teng attacked Chencang, endangering Chang'an and Luoyang, and Emperor Xiaoling ordered the prime minister to be the former general, and the left general Huangfu Song relieved the siege of Chencang, and defeated Han Sui and Ma Teng. The kingdom died in battle, Han Sui, Ma Teng and others robbed Yan Zhong as the commander, and wanted to fight with the prime minister again, Yan Zhong did not obey, died of grief, and Han Sui and Ma Teng were defeated. After a pause, he asked, "Wen You, I don't know what this Yan Zhong has to do with my son's choice of a military division." ”

Li Ru asked again: "I don't know what the Prime Minister thinks of this Yan Zhong's literary and martial arts strategy, and his ability to recognize people and judge things?" ”

Dong Zhuo said: "Yan Zhong is a person who is highly valued by Huangfu Song, Wen Taowu is extraordinary, and his vision for judging people and things is extremely accurate, and he can be called a wise man in the world." ”

Li Ru said: "Prime Minister, a certain Baoju person, surnamed Jia Ming, the character Wenhe, and Yan Zhong acquaintance, Yan Zhong called it a good peace!" Dong Shouye originally thought that his cheap brother-in-law didn't know what kind of person he would recommend for himself, and it was not easy to answer. When I heard that my cheap brother-in-law first mentioned Yan Zhong in Xiliang, and then led out Jia Xu, I was really overjoyed, what I wanted, it was too intimate.

Dong Zhuo was taken aback after listening to Li Ru's words, and said: "Yan Zhong actually compared this person to Zhang Liang and Chen Ping of Emperor Gaozu, could it be true that he has his merits, I don't know where this person is now?" ”

Li Ru replied: "This person is serving in my Xiliang Army. ”

Dong Zhuo asked again: "I don't know what position this Jia Xu holds in our army?" ”

Li Ru replied: "Jia Xu was originally from Guzang County, Wuwei County, Liangzhou, and was investigated for filial piety in his early years, but resigned due to illness. When the lord was worshiped as Xiangguo, this Jia Xu was promoted to the captain of Pingjin and Jin, and was later promoted to the captain of the captive school, and now he should be in the army of Niu Fuxian. ”

Dong Zhuo was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Such a talent, it is actually in our army, God really helps me!" By the way, Wenyou, I don't know what is so good about this person? ”

Li Ru replied: "There is nothing outstanding or anything great or meritorious. However, in his early years, when he was filial piety, he resigned due to illness, and when he returned to his hometown to the west, he once encountered a rebellious Di people on the road, and dozens of people with him were captured. Jia Xu said to those Di people: 'I am the grandson of Duan Gong, don't hurt me, my family must be ransomed with a lot of money', at that time, Duan Ying, the Tai Lieutenant, because he had been a border general for a long time, shocked the western soil, and the Di people were really afraid of Duan Gong's prestige, and did not dare to harm Jia Xu, and the Di people also swore an oath with Jia Xu, so that Jia Xu persuaded Duan Gong to temporarily calm the anger of the thunder, and not to lead troops to take revenge on the Di people. It can be seen that this Jia Xu is also extremely fast-reacting, intelligent, and good at improvisation. ”

After Dong Zhuo listened, he said: "Okay, Wenyou, you immediately repair the book in my name to Niu Fu and Jia Xu, and let Jia Xu rush to Chang'an as a military advisor in my army." ”

When Li Ru heard that Dong Zhuo had adopted his own proposal, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and responded loudly: "Son-in-law, go and do this immediately." ”

Dong Shouye also said to Li Ru at this time: "Eldest brother-in-law, this matter is bothered by Brother-in-law Lao, and the younger brother is grateful." ”

Li Ru smiled and said to Dong Shouye: "Brother Shouye is polite, you and I are our own brothers, why bother to say thank you, your business is my business, but this Jia Xu is really a talented person, after he comes to Jingshi, you must treat him with respect for the teacher, so that you can receive the return of the wise man." ”

Dong Shouye immediately said: "Brother-in-law, don't worry, the younger brother will definitely serve as a teacher, and there will be no slackness." In his heart, he muttered there: "That's Jia Xu, one of the most famous advisors in the world, I promise to be able to offer him like an ancestor, obey his words, he asked me to go east, I will never go west; He made me a big dog, and I would never pick a chicken. Promise to serve him comfortably, so that he has no complaints at all. ”

Dong Shouye here is also very happy, if he can really get Jia Xu's allegiance, then his small team can be regarded as a real resume, after all, in the past year or so, although Dong Shouye has also recruited a lot of talents, but there is no one who can coordinate the overall situation, like Xu Huang and Zhang Liao can become the commander of the side alone in the future, but their ability is focused on the military, good at battlefield duels, and the ability to coordinate the overall situation is slightly lacking. Li Dao, Hua Xiong, Yang Feng and others are also great generals, and Zhang Ji and Du Ji are all great talents who can become the main party and herdify the people, and even assassins and other great talents. If Jia Xu can be taken under his own account, then his small team can be said to be basically formed, whether it is from top to bottom, or from bottom to top, there is no problem, in time it is a separation, the pastoral side can also have enough development potential, and can also open up a career, the one that Dong Shouye received in front of him can basically be said to be given by his father or supported the establishment, but if this small team can be successfully established, with the strength of Dong Shouye in front of him, You can also do something without the help of his father, and dare to fight with the Kwantung princes.

Although Li Ru is a talent in this area, and he is also a leader among them, after all, he has been following his cheap son Dong Zhuo now, and Dong Zhuo can't do without him for a while. Besides, the more talents this person has, the better, and the more prosperous the better, just like people don't like money.
