Chapter 306: Fooling Dong Zhao

Wei Xuan after the end of the war in Bingzhou, and in Taiyuan, he has been urging the two tribes of Qiangqu and Tuhun and other large and small Hun tribes to completely withdraw to the north of the Yellow River.

Bingzhou was temporarily settled, and Wei Xuancai left south to return to Luoyang, handing over the military administration of Bingzhou to Wei Zheng, Xun You, Xu Huang and others.

As soon as Wei Xuan walked to the eldest son of the Shangdang, Hei Nei Taishou Xun Zhan and Shou Hui Xin stopped Dong Zhao, the envoy sent by Yuan Shao to Chang'an, and asked Wei Xuan how to deal with it.

Wei Xuan was overjoyed when he heard this, and while asking Xun Zhan to keep Dong Zhao, he rushed to Huai County. If Wei Xuan's guess is correct, this Dong Zhao is Dong Zhao, the humerus minister of the Cao Wei group in history, and Dong Zhao from Yanzhou.

Previously, according to Jin Yiwei's report, Dong Zhao was promoted to filial piety when he was young, and successively served as the county magistrate and county commander. After Yuan Shao captured Jizhou, he appointed him to join the army.

At the beginning, Yuan Shao faced Gongsun Chan at the Jieqiao, and Li Shao, the Taishou of Julu, and the eunuch of the county thought that Gongsun Chan was strong, and they both wanted to turn their backs on Yuan Shao and belong to him.

So Yuan Shao asked Dong Zhao to concurrently serve as Julu Taishou, which can be regarded as being ordered in danger. This is also Dong Zhao's biggest contribution to Yuan Shao.

Before leaving, Yuan Shao asked, "What method did Qing use to control them?" Dong Zhao replied: "With Zhao's small strength, it is impossible to dispel everyone's premeditation, Zhao wants to pretend to be in response to the contract's intentions, lure them to tell the truth, and then temporarily change power to control them according to the specific situation." Strategies can only be thought up on the fly, and there is no way to talk about them in advance. At that time, dozens of people such as Sun Yan, a big family in Julu County, were the main planners, agitating officials and ordinary people.

When Dong Zhao arrived in the county, he forged a copy of Yuan Shao's document and told the whole county: "After getting the confession of Zhang Ji, a scout of the thieves, they will come to attack Julu, and the thief Fang Yuan Xiaolian Sun Yan and others will serve as internal responses, and this document will be transmitted to the county, that is, Sun Yan and others will be arrested by military law, and only they will be punished, and their wives and children will not be sitting." In accordance with the accusations and orders of the text, Dong Zhao immediately beheaded Sun Yan and others.

The whole county was panicked, and Dong Zhao comforted them one by one, so they all settled down. After the incident, it was regarded as providing a stable rear for Yuan Shao, and also preventing more county magistrates and local tycoons from defecting to Gongsun Zhan.

Dong Zhao reported to Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao praised him very much, and his status gradually improved in the past few weeks. After Wei Xuan and Yuan Shao clashed in Hanoi, Yuan Shao shifted his focus to the north, and the Montenegrin army was active frequently.

At that time, the order in the whole county was in chaos, the number of thieves was tens of thousands, Yu Poison and others were very rampant, they saw the good opportunity to be confronted by Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan to send envoys to communicate with each other and conduct trading and trade.

Dong Zhao attached great importance to this situation, looking for an opportunity to divide between them, and took advantage of their weak strength to send troops to conscript, and defeated the thieves.

Three good news in two days, forcing Yu Poison and others to withdraw from the occupied county and return to the mountains. At the same time, there was a younger brother who shocked the bandit leaders who were also entrenched in the western border of Zhao State, Changshan and other places by the Black Mountain Army.

But the good times did not last long, Dong Zhao's younger brother Dong visited in the army, Dong Zhao himself was in charge of a large county and repeatedly made meritorious contributions, while Zhang Miao and Yuan Shao had contradictions, and Wei County was adjacent to Chen Liu.

Yuan Shao listened to slander and wanted to cure Dong Zhao's crimes. So, Dong Zhao asked to go to the Son of Heaven on behalf of Yuan Shao and take the opportunity to break away from Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao was worried that Dong Zhaogong would be high, so he agreed.

Dong Zhao must pass through Wei Xuan's territory if he wants to go from Jizhou to Chang'an, but he was left in Hanoi by Xun Zhan and Huang Zhong halfway through, Wei Xuan of course didn't want to miss this person, and he might go back to Yanzhou to join Cao Cao if he went to play.

When Xun Zhan, Huang Zhong and others received Wei Xuan at the border of Hanoi County, Wei Xuan didn't bother to greet Xun Zhan and Huang Zhong, but directly asked Dong Gongren where he was?

Xun Zhan smiled bitterly and let Dong Zhao behind him come out and introduce it to Wei Xuan. Wei Xuan confirmed that this person was Dong Zhao, and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello, Dong Zhao didn't expect Wei Xuan to be so modest and hurriedly bowed down and saluted: "Dong Zhao has seen General Zuo!" Wei Xuan hurriedly hugged Dong Zhao and smiled: "Brother Gongren, where are you going?" Dong Zhao was a little embarrassed, touched the seal ribbon on his waist and said: "Zhao was ordered by Yuan Jizhou to go to Chang'an to meet the Son of Heaven, and he never wanted to alarm General Zuo. Wei Xuan invited Dong Zhao to get into his car, and waited until Dong Zhao sat down in the car, Wei Xuan said with a smile: "Xuan Su has admired the talent of Brother Gongren for a long time, but he still wants to deceive Xuan. Brother has great talent but can't be tolerated by Yuan Benchu, although this time he can get out by himself under the pretext of meeting the Son of Heaven, but his wife and children are in Jizhou, isn't my brother worried about them? Dong Zhao was a little embarrassed to be seen through by Wei Xuan under the pretext that the Son of Heaven fled from Jizhou today, and Wei Xuan continued: "What are you going to do in the future, brother?" Dong Zhao shook his head: "Let's go to Chang'an first, return the seal ribbon to the imperial court, and then go back to my hometown." Wei Xuan stared at Dong Zhao and asked: There is a big chaos today, Li Dao, Guo Yan and others are even worse than Dong Zhuo, and the Son of Heaven is subject to thieves.

The heroes of the Kwantung region each occupied the mountain as kings, and the people were miserable. Brother has great talent, but does he want to do nothing for the rest of his life? Dong Zhao still bowed his head and was silent, not that he wanted to be forced.

Yuan Shao came from the Yuan clan in Runan, and he traveled for more than ten years to kill eunuchs, and he was famous all over the world.

Then I didn't expect that I did a very good job in Julu Taishou and Weijun Taishou, but I didn't expect that because of Zhang Miao's affairs, Yuan Shao was suspicious, Jizhou couldn't go back, the court was controlled by thieves, and it was difficult for other heroes to take him in, and he was also forced to be helpless.

Seeing that Dong Zhao was silent, Wei Xuan smiled and asked, "What do you think about Wei County and Hanoi that my brother governs?" Dong Zhao regained some self-confidence, he raised his head and said, "If Yuan Jizhou can give Zhao another three or four years, he will definitely be able to catch up with Hanoi." Wei Xuan shook his head: "Yuan Benchu is suspicious, Wei County is close to Hanoi and Chenliu, and he can't be entrusted with his old friends and in-laws." It's a good thing that my brother is confident in his talents, but he may not know that the Quyuan plow in Hanoi has become popular, and dozens of miles of river irrigation canals are added every month. The border Montenegrin army has largely disappeared. After three or four years, Wei County's output will be less than one-third of Hanoi, and there is no need to deliberately agitate for Wei County, and it is feared that the population of Wei County will exceed 100,000 within three or four years of migrating to Hanoi. Dong Zhao wanted to distinguish but couldn't say that Hanoi, which is also close to the Taihang Mountains and the Yellow River, is actually far less terrain than Wei County.

But he really didn't see many homeless people along the way. It's just that he never thought that all the cultivation in Hanoi was the Quyuan plough that came from the east of the Cai Yong River, and Wei Xuan also asked people to constantly dig irrigation canals in the county.

Seeing that Dong Zhao still didn't speak, Wei Xuan continued to ask: "Brother, how does Xuan compare with Yuan Benchu?" Dong Zhao: "This ......" one is the old master, and the other is in front of him, Dong Zhao is a Sven, and it is not good to evaluate directly.

Wei Xuan didn't really want to listen to his answer, and quickly replied: "Fei Xuan boasted, Yuan Benchu was born a few years earlier than Xuan, and his martial arts were not as good as Xuan, and militarily he declared that he would win every battle, Dong Zhuo, Yu Fuluo, Qubei, and Ke Bi Neng were not Xuanzhi opponents." Yuan Ben was bound to lose the battle at the beginning, if it weren't for Gongsun Zhan, who was really unpopular with the people, Jizhou would have changed hands long ago. Dong Zhao's eyes widened, Wei Xuan, whom he knew, was a humble gentleman, why did he start to be arrogant after a few victories?

I heard Wei Xuan continue: "Yuan Benchu was so scheming and indecisive that he was led by Dong Zhuo into Beijing to cause trouble in the court. Married to a famous man in the world but does not know how to do a good job, my brother is really wronged under his command. Xuan didn't say much, and when Xuan took his brother's wife and children to Luoyang, his brother would live in Luoyang. Hearing this, Dong Zhao's eyes widened, Yingchuan is the birthplace of Wei Xuan, with a population of more than one million, Henan is the place where Wei Xuan defeated Dong Zhuo, it is the center of the world, Taiyuan is the center of Bingzhou, no matter which county is very important.

Wei Xuan hasn't said a few words yet, so he wants to trust each other with a county? Seeing where Dong Zhaoguang was in a daze, Wei Xuan continued to explain: "Although Xun Wenruo has the talent of Wang Zuo, he has also complained to Xuan many times, he is now Henan Yin and the head of the household department, and he is engaged in the management of the school and the lieutenant of the school, and he is too busy to manage the affairs of the states and counties Tuntian. It's better for my brother to be wronged and share one or two for him. Dong Zhao couldn't help but speak when he saw Wei Xuan like this: "General Zuo is not afraid to take in Dong Zhao and evil Yuan Jizhou?" Wei Xuan shook his head: "If it weren't for the expulsion of the Xiongnu and the welcome of the Son of Heaven back to Luoyang, it would be more important, Xuan would have occupied Jizhou last year and would have hated him." Dong Zhao smiled bitterly, that day, Wei Xuan used cavalry to annihilate Yan Liang's troops, and then occupied most of Chun Yuqiong's army in the First Battle of Neihuang, and the entire Jizhou was actually very worried that Wei Xuan would exchange the three rivers for Jizhou.

Fortunately, Wei Xuan later focused on merging states, and Yuan Shao did not have to worry about the west. But now Yuan Shao is gradually sticking to his feet in Jizhou, so he said: "General Zuo does know how to fight well, but now Yuan Jizhou has nearly 100,000 soldiers under his command, and Gongsun Bogui has not been able to win many attacks." Yuan Jizhou agreed to Hebei sooner or later. Wei Xuan smiled: "How are the Jizhou soldiers better than the Huns?" How is it better than the Xianbei people? How is Bixi Ryojun? Brother may know that Xuanju expelled the Southern Xiongnu with all his might, but he doesn't know that there are 100,000 elites under Xuan's command who can completely annihilate Yan Liang as they did back then? Dong Zhao asked incredulously, "One hundred thousand?" Wei Xuan nodded: "And sixty percent are cavalry, the soldiers under the command of Kebi Neng Xuan, who were destroyed that day, are all one-on-one, and now that the Southern Huns have moved north, Kebi can shrink is it because they are kind-hearted and conscience?" Two years later, Hou Xuandang led the troops into Chang'an, and he was bound to defeat all the thieves in one fell swoop to welcome the return of the Son of Heaven. Presumably, my brother has also seen the soldiers under Xuan's command these days, and I want to ask Xuan that there are 100,000 elites like this, so why are you afraid of him Yuan Benchu. At this point, when my brother arrives in Henan, I will feel it even deeper, or will I return to my brother's question, is my brother willing to stay and contribute to the people of Sanhe? ”
