Chapter 246: The Pit

Zheng Du, who has great talent but is not reused, this person who appeared as a tragic figure in history, but now he appeared in advance because of a series of changes caused by Dong Zhuo, Liu Zhang is weak and benevolent, but Liu Fan is not like this, under Liu Fan's sudden exit, Liu Zhang can no longer bear it, and finally has no rebuttal, but Zheng Du suddenly became estranged in his heart.

Soon, Liu Fan, who had made a decision, did not delay any longer, on the one hand, he sent Liu Mao to Brazil, and on the other hand, he sent Pang Le to command 30,000 troops to take Jinzhu, and then Liu Fan personally sat in Chengdu, for a while, the Yizhou officials in the three places moved one after another, and when Dong Zhuo completely took Zitong and was ready to move again, several places had initially completed the layout, and Jinzhu, which was closest to Zitong, had begun to expel the people.

Indeed, whether it is Dong Zhuo or Jia Xu, they despise Liu Yan's sons too much, after the capture of Zitong, the tense minds of the two of them suddenly relaxed, in their opinion, Chengdu is already in their pocket, and the focus of attention of the shadow guard will be transferred to Chengdu, but the content of Liu Fan and others' secret discussion is not at all that the shadow guard can detect, so when the news is passed to Dong Zhuo's hands, several places have become a general trend.

"Wenhe, what should we do next?" As the news spread in the hands of everyone, the room suddenly lost the ease it had at the beginning, and there was silence for a long time, Dong Zhuo glanced at Jia Xu, who was frowning and contemplative, and suddenly asked out loud.

"It's up to the lord!" After a moment, Jia Xu raised his head, and his eyes suddenly burst with a gleam, and then he quickly narrowed his eyes: "If the lord wants to win Yizhou, he only needs to break through Chengdu, looking at the current situation, Chengdu has been abandoned by Liu Zhang, and the lord will lead the troops to go, and he will definitely win the battle." ”

"Oh?" Dong Zhuo frowned, and a different color flashed in his eyes.

Dong Zhuo's expression changed, Jia Xu, who had been paying attention to him, saw it for the first time, and his heart moved, Jia Xu continued: "If the lord wants to take the world, the gains and losses of one city and one place are not enough to fight, Zitong is in hand, and you can go to Chengdu at any time, but if the lord abandons the people, the people's will is lost, even if the lord obtains the entire territory of Yizhou, Yizhou will not be under the rule of the lord after all." ”

After listening to Jia Xu's words, Dong Zhuo's face suddenly showed a smile that no one could understand, the people's hearts and the people's hearts, in fact, how many people in the world can explain this thing clearly? In the past, Cao Cao took the opportunity to kill in Xuzhou in order to avenge his father, and it stands to reason that it was a big loss of popular support, in fact, when Liu Bei took Xuzhou, the people were attached to it to explain this, but after Cao Cao occupied Xuzhou again, lightly punished and gave life to life, how many people in Xuzhou would regard their previous massacre as hatred?

Even, Dong Zhuo thinks more, the war is chaotic, all the people in the world need is a place where they can live and work in peace and contentment, as for who this person is and what his reputation is, it is not within their consideration at all, the real hatred, the hatred of life and death, is difficult for those who are ambitious and unwilling to be lonely.

Really living in this era, the more Dong Zhuo knows that all this is not a game in front of him, it is not that the people's will can be raised to a certain extent to allow him to recruit soldiers, nor is it that the people's will and morale are entangled, as long as the people can survive, as long as he is strong enough, as long as the forces under his command have a sufficient number of people, he can raise enough troops when needed.

"My lord, let's open the city and help the people!" Seeing that Dong Zhuoliang didn't speak for a long time, except for Gao Shun, the rest of the people in the room knelt down one after another, and even Jia Xu knew what to think and knelt on the ground.

glanced at Jia Xu, who was still calm and waveless, Dong Zhuo couldn't help but feel a trace of anger in his heart, if he didn't know Jia Xu very well, he would really jump into the pit that Jia Xu dug today, he would really jump into it without blinking, he had been following him for so long, he was not afraid of jumping into the pit, but until now, Jia Xu was still testing him, thinking of this, Dong Zhuo's heart could no longer be calm.

What does it matter to him whether the people of Yizhou live or die? What does it matter to him what the people want? I am just laying Zitong, and it is only a small area for the huge Yizhou, can it be said that with the hearts of the people, the rest of Yizhou does not need to fight? Will the soldiers of Yizhou cry and shout and run to him?

Besides, does he Jia Xu care about such a little bit of popular opinion? Not to mention Yizhou, it's the whole world, if there is a need or necessity, he is afraid that there will be no ambiguity when he moves, right? Don't you see the rebellion of Li Dao and Guo Yan in history, isn't it caused by this seemingly weak scribe in front of you?

"Liu Bi and Ling Bao are originally from Yizhou, so naturally they don't want to see the people of Yizhou suffer, Tai Shici and Le Jin are also people with an excess of justice, and it is understandable to kneel and plead, but what are you?" Dong Zhuo complained in his heart, and his eyes when he looked at Jia Xu suddenly became sharp.

If you want to win the state, the people's hearts will only take some time to settle down, but if you want to win the hearts of the people and want to take all the benefits of the state, you don't know when it will be. The pit was dug by Jia Xu, and now he is forced to make a decision with everyone, Dong Zhuo's heart is complicated for a while.

Actually, it was Dong Zhuo who misunderstood him.

In history, decades of ups and downs have made Jia Xu wary of anyone, especially after following Cao Cao, a suspicious person, Jia Xu never let himself act as a rafter for his head, and Mingzhe's self-preservation has become a lingering brand on his body.

Just as Dong Zhuo knows a lot about him, how can Jia Xu not understand Dong Zhuo's temperament? Of course, except for the fact that Dong Zhuo is not a person of this era.

In the two years since Dong Zhuo "woke up", Dong Zhuo has been changing in a good direction, but the wolf nature that originally belonged to his bones has gradually disappeared, which may be good for anyone, but Dong Zhuo, as the lord of several states, does not have this kind of ruthlessness, and he will not survive for long in such an environment, which is the last thing Jia Xu wants to see.

The person who is a confidant dies, is reused by Dong Zhuo and trusts him unreservedly, Jia Xu has already given back his life to Dong Zhuo, no one inherits the huge career, if Dong Zhuo goes, the Dong family will be overthrown, Jia Xu understands this, so he takes a risk at this time, in order to recall Dong Zhuo's original wolf nature, as for what will happen in the future, who can control it in the future!

"Herald." The room was silent for a long time, Dong Zhuo's voice suddenly sounded, and everyone below saw it and was busy holding their breath and concentrating.

"Gao Shun, command your troops with 5,000 soldiers and horses as the vanguard, immediately send troops to Jinzhu, no matter what the price is, you must capture Jinzhu as quickly as possible." As soon as Dong Zhuo spoke, most of the people in the room were dumbfounded, and no one saw it, and a smile appeared at the corner of Jia Xu's mouth, who had been keeping his head down.

"No." Gao Shun got up and replied with a solemn expression. Although Dong Zhuo gave the death order, Gao Shun was not the slightest dissatisfied with it, after all, in Dong Zhuo's military order, he was not given a time limit at all.

Glancing at Jia Xu, Dong Zhuo set his eyes on Gao Shun again, and the more he looked at it, the more happy he was in his heart.

is different from others, such as Tai Shici, Le Jin, or Liu Bi and Ling Bao, these people all have such and such bonds, and they can't be as pure as Gao Shun. Just like just now, everyone took the values in their hearts as the standard, and asked Dong Zhuo to give an order to help the people, only Gao Shun was really considering Dong Zhuo's interests and not putting any pressure on Dong Zhuo.

"Go ahead!" Walking slowly to Gao Shun's side, Dong Zhuo reached out and patted Gao Shun on the shoulder, and said in a condensed voice.

"No." As always, he was silent, just one word, but Dong Zhuo could hear Gao Shun's solemnity and determination.

Gao Shun turned around and strode away, leaving the few people in the room You look at me, I look at you, they can't help but be a little dumbfounded, they can be valued by Dong Zhuo, none of them are stupid, Dong Zhuo's approach is obviously an expression of dissatisfaction with their actions just now, but why they are dissatisfied, they can't figure it out.

I have to say that the pit dug by Jia Xu is too technical. Two choices and two paths, it stands to reason that Dong Zhuo should choose the second one, after all, as a prince, Dong Zhuo is also the position of the country, and if he takes a step forward, it must be based on the world, and a few people never thought that it turned out to be like this.

Soon, Dong Zhuo's gaze swept over Jia Xu again, and his mood suddenly became more complicated, and after a moment of silence, he said again: "Zhongkang, send someone to Chang'an, let Wen You send grain and grass to come day and night, and in addition, send someone to inform Pang De and let him lead the cavalry to speed up into Shu." ”

Two sentences and two orders undoubtedly revealed Dong Zhuo's next focus. Hearing this, several people couldn't help but feel a little panicked in their hearts, and they were stunned for a while, not knowing what to do.

It's just that Gao Shun was dispatched, maybe Dong Zhuo was angry for their behavior before, but this is not a big deal after all, I thought it would be fine in a while, which Cheng thought that Dong Zhuo suddenly made a military order to let Pang De enter Shu, could it be that Dong Zhuo no longer trusted them?

Thinking of this, several people couldn't help but pounce a few times and then knelt down again: "Lord......"

"What are you doing here, get up." Dong Zhuo said, reaching out to pull Jia Xu up, but he had been kneeling for a long time, and he was stumbling under his feet as soon as he got together.

"South of Jinzhu, it is suitable for cavalry combat, my Xiliang Army is especially famous for the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, don't think about it, let Ling Ming enter Shu, it has already been decided, although I Dong Zhuo is not a good person, but I am definitely not a person with a small amount of energy, and I will not blame you for what happened before." Looking at the looks on the faces of several people, Dong Zhuo knew in his heart that his goal had been achieved, and if he continued, maybe he would really split the master, if so, it would be a bit too big, and he immediately spoke out to comfort a few people.

On the side, looking at Dong Zhuo's rather immature tricks, Jia Xu's eyebrows couldn't help but smile.
