Dong Zhao smiled bitterly: "Zhao often talked about General Zuo when he heard Guo Gongze in Jizhou, and General Zuo was a narrow man who relied on luck to get things done in Guo Gongze's mouth." ”

Wei Xuan laughed: "Brother should sigh now that Guo Gong is misleading me, Jizhou, and the world." ”

Dong Zhao finally smiled, he now finally understood why Wei Xuan was able to defeat Dong Zhuo, Yu Fuluo, Yuan Shao and Ke Bineng and others successively. Knowing the soldiers and being good at fighting is only one of them, knowing people and being good at their jobs is the foundation.

This time, without waiting for Wei Xuan to continue to post, he arched his hand towards Wei Xuan: "Thank you General Zuo for your love, Zhao will go to Luoyang with the general first, and see if Zhao can be competent under the general." ”

Wei Xuan was overjoyed when he heard this, Dong Zhao must not be disgusted to stay when he said this, at least he will not return to Yuan Shao. As for the investigation, I have also suffered from Yuan Shao, but now Henan is thriving, except for the dilapidation near the Luoyang Cheng Palace, the population has returned in large numbers, and there are people everywhere in Tuntian, and the life of the people will naturally be better without the suffering of war. Coupled with the prosperity of Luoyang's business, Dong Zhao will definitely be impressed when he arrives there.

???????????????? So Wei Xuan gave Dong Zhao an introduction to the general situation of the four counties and one state under his rule, and Dong Zhao nodded frequently when he heard it, especially the exemption of taxes from several counties occupied by the Huns for a long time made Dong Zhao sigh. This shows that Wei Xuansheng has a way of making money and raising 100,000 soldiers, but he is not a reckless soldier and looting people's wealth. If there is no Taihang Mountain, I am afraid that most of the people in Jizhou will go to Bingzhou in three or four years. With a sufficient population, it became possible for Wei Xuan to truly expel the Xiongnu and other Hu people.

Wei Xuan then asked Dong Zhaodao: "Brother Gongren has been in Jizhou for a long time, how is the people of Jizhou now?" ”

Dong Zhao sighed: "Yuan Jizhou is the fourth and third dukes, and the rule of Jizhou is stronger than the Han Wenjie, but because of the long-term confrontation with Gongsun Bogui, the soldiers consume a lot of grain and grass, and the demand for the wealthy families in the state is a little too much. ”

Wei Xuan nodded, Yuan Shao can't just want his reputation, Gongsun Zhan's brother is famous, and he is the elite of a hundred battles, so many elites under his command Yuan Shao can only rely on numbers to win, and the more soldiers raised, the exploitation of the people in the territory will naturally increase. Dong Zhao is polite, the news from Jinyiwei is that Yuan Shao is actually a lot of wrong, false and unjust cases in Julu, and the purpose is not to plot the family property of those local wealthy families for the two of them.

Wei Xuan thought about it and continued to ask Dong Zhao: "According to my brother, if there is no intervention from Xianbei and Xuan, Yuan Benchu will be able to pacify Hebei in the first few years?" ”

Dong Zhao frowned, although most of what Wei Xuan said before was true, he belittled Yuan Shao as worthless, and now it seems that Wei Xuan still attaches great importance to Yuan Shao in his heart. After thinking about it: "Although Liu Bo'an is lenient but does not know the soldiers, there will be a battle between him and Gongsun Bogui sooner or later, this is Yuan Jizhou's opportunity, if he can use the advice of Tian Beijia and the frustrated prison army, he should be able to get his wish in three or four years." In the event of a catastrophe or a disturbance by the Montenegrin army, it may be delayed for another year or two. ”

Dong Zhao is very real this time, that is, Yuan Shao has a chance, but he must also be able to listen to the words of others, especially the two old men in Jizhou, Tian Feng and Fu Zhu. In fact, most of the time that can influence Yuan Shao now are Xu You, Chun Yuqiong, Yuan Shao's old people and Yingchuan celebrities like Guo Tu. Yuan Shao's unification of Hebei's entry into the city also depended largely on Yanzhou, specifically on the time and ability of Cao Cao and others to suppress the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans and their ability to provide support to Yuan Shao at critical moments. In fact, there are many forces in Jizhou now, especially Gongsun Chan has always coveted Qingzhou, and Tian Kai occupies the plain, and Gongsun Chan has colluded with Yuan Shu and Tao Qian.

Thinking of this, Wei Xuan looked at Dong Zhao, Dong Zhao seemed to remember something and said: "There are masters around the general, who fought against Dong Zhuo that day, and later occupied Henan to link Hedong and Yingchuan, and even waited for the opportunity to occupy Hanoi, and then went not to the east or west and then to the north, which seemed to be thankless, but now it seems that the general has obtained a steady stream of war horses, laying the foundation for the general to level the world." This shows that the general's strategic decision is correct and constantly being revised. But Zhao has a clear matter, and asks the general to solve his doubts. ”

Wei Xuan stretched out the palm of his right hand and made a gesture of please, Dong Zhao thought about it when he saw this: "On the day of the crusade against Dong Zhuo in the river disaster to defeat Dong Zhuo, Yuan Jizhou and the later general at the same time praised the general as the captain of the Si Li, and the general was appointed as the captain of the Si Li on the ground, and then shared Yuzhou with Sun Jian.

However, Sun Jian is a martial artist after all, and now the general has stabilized Sanhe and is about to achieve great governance in the state, Zhao sees that Sun Jian is walking on thin ice in Yuzhou, and sooner or later he will be a miniature for others. Since the general has already decided???????????????? After merging the state, and not planning to go west in the next two years, why not plan to plan Yuzhou as soon as possible?

What Zhao doesn't understand the most is why the general would let the unknown Liu Bei be the prime minister of Lu? Chen Guo and Runan isolated the eastern part of Yuzhou from Yingchuan. Wang Meng was in the Liang State, and there was no guarantee that the Liang State would obey the generals. Then Liu Bei is not a general, nor is he a protégé of the Wei family, nor is he a good general or a famous man in the world? Moreover, the general must also know that Liu Bei did not have much contact with the general after taking office, but he had a hot fight with Gongsun Chan and Xuzhou Tao Qian, and sooner or later he would turn his back on the general, so why not plan it early? ”

Wei Xuanxin said that the propaganda of this era depends on the mouths of scholars, and he is also the victor of the crusade against Dong Zhuo, Wei Xuan's rule in Sanhe and Yingchuan has no problems, but Sun Jian is walking on thin ice. It is normal for Liu Bei not to be famous, but Liu Bei's ambition Wei Xuan knows it well. He can't take care of Lu Guo for the time being, if he can exchange a small county that may have belonged to Sun Jian for Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, this is a sure win. But I can't say this when I'm slightly drunk: "Dissatisfied with Brother Gongren, Sun Wentai and Liu Bei are both people of destiny." Wentai is Xuan's ally, and he restrained a lot of Xiliang troops for Xuan in Henan that day, as long as he can still stand in Yuzhou, Xuan will not interfere.

And Liu Bei is a man of great talent, generous personality and tenacious will, and he once followed Xuan to crusade against Dong Zhuo, and he invited himself to go to Lu State, and Xuan stayed by his side for fear of being eaten by him. If he can gain a firm foothold in the Lu State, collude with Gongsun Zan and Tao Xuzhou, delay Yuan Benchu's pacification of Hebei, or delay Cao Mengde's integration of Yanzhou, it can be regarded as Xuan Wu's intention to insert willows and willows. ”

Dong Zhao was dumbfounded, he looked at Wei Xuan with a shocked expression, and he noticed that Wei Xuan used the Mandate of Heaven to describe Sun Jian and Liu Bei. The young man sitting in front of him with a smile was so calculating. Or the strategists behind Wei Xuan were so far-sighted, but he paid more attention to one important point and asked: "The general is also optimistic about Cao Cao's integration of Yanzhou?" ”

Wei Xuan smiled: "Xuan used to say that the heroic Cao Mengde of the world has eight buckets, Xuan and Sun Wentai have one bucket, and the people of the world share one bucket, which is not a lie. Count the current state and county magistrates in Yanzhou, Zhang Mengzhuo is benevolent and the elders don't know the soldiers, Liu Gongshan talks lightly about celebrities like Kong Ling back then, Bao Yuncheng is righteous but he doesn't know how to die sooner or later in the thief, Shanyang Yuan is pure Yuan Ben's pheasant tail. ”

Dong Zhao asked puzzledly: "Then why did the general still praise Cao Mengde as the Taishou of Dongjun in the first place?" ”

"First of all, Meng De is Xuan's best friend, and he is also a friend of Yuan Benchu, Liu Gongshan, Zhang Mengzhuo, Bao Yuncheng and others. Secondly, Meng De's occupation of Yanzhou or other more territory was not beneficial to Yuan Benchu but to the imperial court and Xuan. He announced that the army was in Chang'an to welcome the return of the Son of Heaven to the east, Si Li, and the state were in hand, and then Cao Mengde cooperated like a sharp sword flipped between cutting Yuan Benchu, cutting Yuan Highway and Liu Jingsheng before stabbing Tao Gongzu, and the Kanto region was pacified in an instant. Even if his ambition swells in the future, he should be Yuan Benchu's confidant and a big trouble, not Xuan's evil neighbor. Not only Yanzhou will be Mengde's, but Qingxu will also be his sooner or later! If Sun Jian is not careful, Xuan will have no time to look east at the Central Plains, and it may be him Cao Mengde who dominates it. ”

Dong Zhao was stunned, and then his eyes lit up, and everyone in Jizhou, including Yuan Shao, thought that Cao Cao was Yuan Shao's younger brother, so Yuan Shao would spare no effort to support Cao Cao's growth in Yanzhou. But if Cao Cao chooses to return to the imperial court or join Wei Xuan after integrating Yanzhou, then Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's long-term plan will be in vain.

Yuan Shao and the entire Jizhou and even the world underestimated it???????????????? Wei Xuan, first look at Wei Xuan Group! This is what Dong Zhao thinks now, but fortunately, the young General Zuo also seems to value himself. This exodus can be regarded as a good result.

Dong Zhao no longer hesitated, and regardless of the narrow carriage of the carriage, he crawled on the ground: "Dong Zhao is stupid and willing to follow the general to level the world and open peace for all generations." ”

Wei Xuan smiled and stretched out his hand to help Dong Zhao and said: "Brother Gongren, Yuan Benchu had no eyes to send a picture to Xuan, and there will be days when he regrets it in the future." ”

When Dong Zhao heard this, he knew that it was not a temptation to trust a large county as soon as he got in the car, but the pattern and vision of others. It is rare for a young general to know how to fight well, and it is even rarer to know people well. Dong Zhao felt that following such a person would not wronged him.

】

Dong Zhao sat back and watched Wei Xuan begin to say tentatively as a subordinate: "Zhao once heard that the general sold a large number of thread-bound books in Luoyang, is this preparing to be an enemy of the clans in the world?" ”

Wei Xuan shook his head: "Xuan looked through the history of the rise and fall of the past dynasties and came to a conclusion, the people who died in the country were all highly annexed land, and the wealthy families had no place to stand in the fields. A century-old dynasty and a thousand-year-old family. It was the insatiable families that contributed to the dynasty's demise. Xuan didn't want to eradicate the family, but he wanted to partially restrict the family. In the future, it will be announced that the recommendation will be cancelled. Completely break the monopoly of the family on local officials, and truly realize that the cultivators have their own land, and the scholars and doctors rule the world together. ”

Dong Zhao was stunned: "Open a branch to take a scholar? ”

Wei Xuan nodded, so he told Dong Zhao some of his ideas about holding the imperial examination, Dong Zhao was also shocked when he heard it, if it can be realized, then the world's talented scholars will be selected layer by layer instead of being monopolized by the family now, and it will definitely make the world rule.

After thinking about it, Dong Zhao said to Wei Xuan: "General, Dong Zhao didn't recommend himself as a squire of the Ministry of Officials, and run county schools, government schools and universities for the generals. ”

Wei Xuan nodded: "Gongren, you can concurrently serve first, but now there is still a lack of state and county magistrates under Xuan's command, so when you arrive in Luoyang, discuss with Zibu and Wen Ruo before the specific division of labor." ”

Dong Zhao was stunned, very envious of Zhang Zhao and Xun Yu, how much does this Wei Xuan trust these two people, this is not Wei Xuan's decision but to discuss with these two people?
