Chapter 370: The four of them sat down
The wind and clouds are gradually rising, no matter what the identity of the people in Chang'an City, can feel the atmosphere that is gradually brewing, but the feeling is the feeling, but no one knows the reason, until one day after the thousands of fast horses galloped into Chang'an, there are people who recognize who the leader is finally able to determine one thing, there is going to be a big thing.
For a long time, due to the fame, there have not been many scribes under Dong Zhuo's command, and this situation has not been alleviated until now, but with the preparation of the academy for a long time, most of the people who have come out of it have been placed in various places, especially after Dong Zhuo reopened the Spring Festival, it opened another way for those poor scholars, and it did attract a lot of poor disciples, but for Dong Zhuo, who now sits in the land of five states, these people are still too few.
On this day, Dong Zhuo was summoned in the mansion and several people came over one after another, and after everyone greeted each other, they each found a place to sit down.
"Wenhe, what's the situation in Huzhou?" Although Dong Zhuo knew most of the news of Huzhou and the policies implemented by Jia Xu here in Huzhou, Dong Zhuo couldn't help but ask after facing Jia Xu who was rushing to him in the dust.
"Not long ago, the summer harvest in Huzhou had just been completed, but fortunately, there was plenty of rain this year, and the people who moved there finally settled down." Dong Zhuo asked, Jia Xu naturally couldn't sit still anymore, got up and bowed and replied respectfully.
"It's hard work." The light in his eyes flashed, and Dong Zhuo's face suddenly opened with joy, but soon this smile was restrained by him, and he said to Jia Xu with a serious expression.
"The lord is serious, that is, the lord loves the lord, and being able to share the worries of the lord is exactly what Xu hopes in his heart." Although what Dong Zhuo said was true, Jia Xu didn't dare to take it all in such a big way, and the body that had just sat down couldn't help but stand up again, bowing down to Dong Zhuo.
After sitting down, Dong Zhuo immediately took his eyes and looked around the room, looking at Jia Xu with a tired face, looking at Guo Jia with unruly writing on his face, and looking at Li Ru with a dignified face, Dong Zhuo sighed for a while: "Wenyou, Wenhe, Fengxiao, these years, thanks to you, I can have all this today, thank you for your hard work." ”
"It's too polite for the lord to say this, as the so-called 'learn literature and martial arts, sell to the emperor's family', fortunately the lord will not give up, and the three of us can realize the ambition of full of talent and learning, isn't it embarrassing for us to say this." Although he was embarrassed to say it, Guo Jia didn't have a little embarrassment on his face, he still had a calm and calm face, and his uninhibited attitude made Dong Zhuo feel broken when he saw it.
"That's what Bong Hyo said." Li Ru and Jia Xu saw each other and immediately echoed.
"Hahaha, it's my hypocrisy." Laughing out loud, Dong Zhuo quickly cleaned up his mood, in fact, the reason why he sighed was just because he remembered the panic when he faced the imminent death when he just came over, and maybe a little sigh for his current year.
Of course, this is a secret that Dong Zhuo will never say to anyone, with this kind of sigh, Ren is Guo Jia's ghost, Jia Xu is wise, and Li Ru is resourceful, and the three of them can't imagine this at all, but because of Dong Zhuo's sigh, the three of them are very moved in their hearts.
"Now the Yuan family has become a general trend, and once Yuan Shao defeats Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu to unify the north, the rising Yuan Shao has only two ways to go, one is to go south, the other is to go west, but Cao Cao and he have been friends since childhood, what I am worried about is that if Cao Cao is soft and temporarily obeys Yuan Shao's orders, in order to completely unify the north, and the state is Yuan Shao's next goal, and Cao Cao also has capable people around him, sitting on the mountain to watch the tiger fight is only afraid that he is very happy to see, and although the state has the Taihang Mountain, For Yuan Shao, it seems to be a thorn in his heart, and in my guess, Yuan Shao will inevitably use troops against him. "The room is not small, but there are not many people, and the room looks empty when the four of them are sitting, but now there are only three people who can enter Dong Zhuo's core: Li Ru, Jia Xu, and Guo Jia.
"What the lord said is good." After pondering for a moment, Guo Jia was the first to speak: "The lord also knows that Xun Yu and Xun Yu, the talents of the two are comparable to Xiao He and Chen Ping, not Jia Ziqian, compared with Jia or can be compared, and the two join forces, that is, Jia meets, and has to retreat to avoid the edge, with the talent of the two, it is natural to be able to understand that the current Cao Cao can not compete with Yuan Shao at all, in this way, what the lord said is likely to come true, Yuan Shao is so happy, he can overpower his friend Cao Cao, he will be happy in his heart, so that Yuan Shao's forces are connected with Yuan Shu in Yuzhou, and if Yuan Shao wants to develop, the state will inevitably become a thorn in his eyes. ”
"Actually, the situation has come to the present, the general trend of the world has begun to become clear, the lord tiger is in the west according to the Han Dynasty thirteen states of the four, Yuan Shao in the north according to the Han Dynasty thirteen states of the three, the strength is second only to the lord, the rest of Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, Tao Qian, Liu Xuan, Liu Biao and so on carved up the remaining states, although it is the princes to compete for power, but it can compete with the lord, this Yuan family is in the first place, the lord and his sooner or later there will be a battle." didn't talk about Dong Zhuo and Guo Jia, as soon as Li Ru opened his mouth, he talked about the situation today.
"Does the lord want to do something with Yuan Shao, if so, you need to think about it carefully." When Li Ru's words fell, Jia Xu had already spoken out and took it, but just like the three of them with different temperaments, although Jia Xu's words were not much, they were bloody and pointed to the hidden meaning of Dong Zhuo's words.
"Not bad." Dong Zhuo was also simply, seeing that Jia Xu had made his words clear, he didn't hide it anymore, he responded directly, and after a short pause, he continued: "Wen He, Wen You needs to sit in Chang'an and can't get out, I want you to come over and help, although I don't take Yuan Shao in my heart, his strength is indeed not small, if you want to eat it, you must carefully consider and deal with it carefully, and I am afraid that it is not enough to rely on Fengxiao alone." ”
"No." Without the slightest hesitation, Jia Xu immediately responded, for him, the best thing is to control people's hearts, Dong Zhuo's words have some unspeakable meaning, he can see it very clearly, is to sigh slightly, Jia Xu said again: "Now that Huzhou has settled down, just need the follow-up dispatch to keep up, there will be no chaos, I think Guo Tu can replace Xu." ”
"Well, Guo Tu is indeed an excellent candidate, his talent is good, but after all, he used to be Yuan Shao's subordinate, and it was an embarrassing thing to be hostile to the old master, but it was just right for him to replace Wen He to defend Huzhou, so it is according to Wen He's words." Dong Zhuo really admired Jia Xu and them, he didn't open his mouth, just because he was afraid that Jia Xu would misunderstand him, and now that Jia Xu brought it up himself, Dong Zhuo couldn't help but secretly cheer for him in his heart.
"Lord, the passage connecting Huzhou and Bingzhou has been successfully built, if the lord wants to fight with Yuan Shao, the army can pass through Huzhou to reach Bingzhou, as for Sizhou here, the lord or don't send troops for the time being, although Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are not compatible, after all, it is a Yuan's, if the lord's army is out of the customs, it will inevitably fall into the dilemma of fighting on both sides, so that the gains outweigh the losses." Dong Zhuo's approval was not beyond Jia Xu's expectations, and seeing that Dong Zhuo agreed, Jia Xu immediately spoke up again.
After a pause, seeing Dong Zhuo falling into contemplation, Jia Xu couldn't help but turn his head to look at Guo Jia and Li Ru, and saw that Li Ru was better, and he was also in contemplation like Dong Zhuo, while Guo Jia seemed to have no heart or lungs, and he actually closed his eyes and raised his mind.
"It's good, but Bingzhou and Jizhou are separated by the huge Taihang Mountain, and it is not easy to pass, not to mention that the number of black mountain thieves among them is not a few, if it is connected with Yuan Shao, it will be a big trouble." After a long time, Dong Zhuo raised his head and said slowly.
According to Dong Zhuo's thoughts, he originally wanted to occupy Sizhou first, so that he only needed to send someone to defend the Tiger Prison and Bishui Pass, but because of this, the army could directly enter Jizhou from Sizhou, but Jia Xu's reminder at this time surprised his heart.
is the so-called "pull a hair and move the whole body", not to mention Sizhou as the capital of the Han Dynasty, if Dong Zhuo is a soldier here, I am afraid that the scholars in the world will be more disdainful and angry with Dong Zhuo, at the same time, Sizhou is also a buffer zone for Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers, plus Cao Cao who is eyeing him on the side, Dong Zhuo dares to say that as long as he dares to send troops to Sizhou, he will inevitably meet Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Cao Cao.
"It's just some thieves, as long as the lord can give up the money, I can't say that this black mountain thief can still be used by the lord." Jia Xu didn't care much about the Black Mountain thieves mentioned by Dong Zhuo, just like the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the past, it is most appropriate to describe them as a rabble.
However, Jia Xu's words made Dong Zhuo's heart move when he heard it, he didn't think about this, mainly because he had done it with the Black Mountain Thieves twice in a row, not to mention that they didn't hold grudges or not, anyway, Dong Zhuo had a grudge against them in his heart, he really didn't think of using such a method, money is easy to say, after all, such a big force, a little squeezing out is enough to make the Black Mountain Thief moved, if money can solve the matter of the Black Mountain Thief, it is really a happy thing.
"Yongzhou and Bingzhou have natural dangers, and the lord only needs to send additional manpower to Tongguan, Hangu Pass, Qingni Pass, Huguan and other places to defend, so that he can concentrate on fighting with Yuan Shao without worrying about the safety of Yongzhou and Bingzhou, and Yizhou has the natural danger of Shu Dao, and outsiders want to enter the benefit is tantamount to climbing the blue sky, I don't know how the lord is going to arrange it." I don't know when, Guo Jia had already opened his eyes, and a pair of eyes stared at Dong Zhuo for a moment.
