Chapter Twenty-Eight: Asking the Right Question

The appearance of Diao Chan made Empress Dowager He, Mrs. Yin, Zhen Jiang and others really feel a serious crisis.

They didn't expect that a woman could be beautiful like this, and she could be like this!

Alluring the country and the city, the elegance is peerless!

This is a woman that none of them can defeat alone! Even if three of them have the life and beauty of a queen, they are ashamed of themselves.

In order to fight Diao Chan and prevent him from falling out of favor, Empress Dowager He and others also tried their best, so that when Dong Zhuo saw Dong Huang again, he was startled by Dong Huang's haggardness.

Dong Huang also realized that he had been hurt by alcohol recently, and made up his mind to quit drinking, focusing on the errand arranged by Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo came to Dong Huang this time for two things, one is that he has decided to move the capital immediately, with the main force and Luoyang's two hundred years of wealth to run Chang'an, as for Luoyang, he did not burn it, but asked Dong Huang to control the soldiers and horses near Luoyang after he moved the capital to deal with the Kwantung princes; The second thing is that he allowed Dong Huang to recruit troops on his own.

For the first errand, Dong Huang had no sorrow or joy. Because after Dong Zhuo left with the main force, the soldiers and horses that could stay near Luoyang for Dong Huang to drive, aside from the people and horses that could not be easily removed from various passes, were only about 100,000 people, compared with the Kwantung princes, the number was really disparity!

With such a huge disparity, it is not easy to fight a few more brilliant victories, after all, the princes are not really all pus, they only need to fight a dumb battle, step by step, and steadily advance step by step, they can continue to oppress Dong Huang's strategic space. It's just that the princes will be so united?

In short, no matter how the princes decide, for Dong Huang, this is an opportunity to earn war points on his own after all...... Dong Huang felt that with Jia Xu and a group of fierce generals, it would not be a problem to hold Luoyang.

Overall, this should be a sure-fire deal, it's just a matter of making more and making less.

The second thing actually complements the first thing. Dong Zhuo can leave Dong Huang with about 100,000 mobile troops, in addition to the 50,000 horses in Dong Zhuo's headquarters, the remaining 50,000 people cannot be elite, so Dong Huang also needs to levy some soldiers by himself to make up for the disadvantage of the Kwantung Army.

But because these newly recruited soldiers and horses were all Dong Huang's private soldiers, Dong Zhuo would only support some weapons, but would not provide much armor, nor would he provide goods and food.

To put it bluntly, it's just four words - self-reliance!

Self-reliance has both advantages and disadvantages, and the disadvantage is that these armies cannot get Dong Zhuo's support, and are subject to equipment, logistics, and military salaries, and it is difficult for them to become elite soldiers; The advantage is that the newly recruited soldiers will not have any marks of Dong Zhuo or others on their bodies, and they will be completely Dong Huang's personal soldiers.

"Wenhe, what do you mean by uncle?"

Dong Huang, who was a little confused, asked his confidant Jia Xu for advice.

He really didn't understand, now that the enemy was present, why Dong Zhuo didn't kill the Kwantung princes in one go, but moved the capital ahead of schedule, and allowed Dong Huang to start a new self-recruitment.

"The prime minister probably wants to wait for the Kwantung princes to become unsuccessful, and then let the lord become a vassal!"

Jia Xu deliberately used the word "domain", the vassal king left the capital to his fiefdom and called the domain, Jia Xu was obviously saying that Dong Zhuo must have made up his mind to let Dong Huang leave the central government, and let Dong Huang go to be the emperor of one side or even the real king.

"Uncle wants to drive me away?"

Dong Huang was a little surprised.

Although he really wanted to go to Yizhou to eat chicken, he really couldn't figure out why Dong Zhuo was in a hurry to drive him away.

Tang Gaozu didn't rush to let the King of Qin take over after the battle, now the Dong family doesn't talk about the country, even the Kwantung princes haven't done it, so they have to drive away the great heroes?

"Lord, I have heard that the father died and the son succeeded, and I also heard that the brother died and the brother died, but I never heard of the son and the younger brother, but the throne was passed on to the nephew!"

Jia Xu said leisurely.

"Huh?"

Dong Huang raised his eyebrows.

"I also heard that the prime minister has more than a dozen concubines who are pregnant, and the prime minister seems to be sleeping in the dragon bed at night, ...... with Queen Fu and concubines."

Jia Xu said inexplicably.

"What !!"

Dong Huang has one head and two big.

Although, he also stayed overnight on the dragon bed, and turned the Empress Dowager He into a ban, it stands to reason that he is not qualified to say Dong Zhuo, but ......

Dong Huang always felt that something was wrong, and he also understood Jia Xu's subtext.

Obviously, Dong Zhuo listened to his own foolishness and decided to take practical action!

Dong Zhuo first stole the pillars of Fu Shoushen and the other concubines of the Han Emperor, if they were pregnant and gave birth to a boy, then they would be the crown prince and even the next emperor to realize the change plan; If he didn't give birth to a boy, Dong Zhuo could also exchange his other children for the prince! Even, Dong Zhuo doesn't need to change the crown prince, after stabilizing his power, he can directly usurp the Han and leave the throne to his son!

As for the possibility of not being able to give birth to a son, Dong Zhuo didn't think about it.

But this is possible, Dong Zhuo's younger brother Dong Min may have thought about it! Because according to the patriarchal rules of father death, son, stepbrother, and brother, if Dong Zhuo dies early, or the child is too young, Dong Min is also Dong Zhuo's legal heir.

Once the ambition is ignited, even if Dong Zhuo does not have much taboo about staying by his side with a big nephew who is in the prime of life and has military power and can fight, it is difficult to guarantee what Dong Min will think.

Maybe what Dong Min thinks most is that Dong Zhuo will die early after usurping the Han Dynasty, and he will be a good brother and a brother and ascend to the throne!

In this case, Dong Min is obviously no longer Dong Huang's close ally.

Dong Huang was originally scheduled to go to Yizhou, if Dong Min came forward to persuade Dong Zhuo again, maybe Dong Zhuo really wanted Dong Huang to set up his own door! Allowing Dong Huang to recruit troops by himself can be regarded as a little compensation for Dong Huang.

Whether Jia Xu's guess is the truth or not, Dong Huang has no way of knowing, but it undoubtedly gave Dong Huang a wake-up call.

"Either way, strengthening is the most important thing."

Dong Huang clenched his fists.

Dong Huang knows very well that for Jia Xu, who likes Mingzhe to protect himself the most, being able to give such a reminder is actually showing his heart!

Jia Xu wants to use a certain sense of heart-to-heart to test Dong Huang's true thoughts and ambitions, and test whether Dong Huang can really have the ability to protect him and his family!

In this case, Dong Huang, of course, could not disappoint Jia Xu.

"Wenhe, I heard that Dong Fu once said to Liu Yan, 'The state division has the spirit of heaven', so Liu Yan chose to go to Yizhou?"

Dong Huang, who knew that he couldn't beat Jia Xu by playing dumb riddles, made it clear directly.

"Is that so?"

Jia Xu's eyelids jumped.

"If I enter Yizhou, is Wen He willing to be my son?"

Dong Huang's poor dagger is not only to show his ambition, but also to use Zhang Liangshan's descendants to show that he will definitely let Jia Xu's family prosper at the end of his life.

"Although Xu has no ability to stay in the marquis, but the grace of the lord's knowledge cannot be repaid, so he is naturally willing to die for the lord!"

Jia Xudun said.

Jia Xu was obviously showing his intentions, but unfortunately, Dong Huang did not get a hint of Jia Xu's approval.

Obviously, if you want Jia Xu to truly return to her heart, it is not enough to rely on verbal promises, you have to really implement them.

However, since Jia Xu has begun to dig out his heart and lungs, Dong Huang feels that as long as he enters Yizhou and then takes over Jia Xu and the generals of his family, when the time comes, Jia Xu will definitely really return to his heart!

At that time, with Dong Huang, who has an external brain and an external thug, he can really play with girls in a good way!

Men, no matter how much they fight and kill to dominate the world, isn't it still to play women to their heart's content in the end!

I'm afraid that Jia Xu will still not return to his heart when the time comes!

If he can't really return to his heart by then, Dong Huang can only continue to lick the dog! There are still more than two years to go, and as long as you can lick it, it will be a victory!
