The strength suddenly soared above the princes.
The four counties of Pingzhou, Handong Duhufu, Weiyuan Island, and Donglai County have such a large jurisdiction, and the population has also been enriched to more than 200 million because of immigration and refugees, and there are tens of thousands of armored people.
Gongsun Zan of Youzhou.
"It's a good thing we have a gentleman's agreement with him, otherwise I wouldn't have time to deal with Yuan Shao." Gongsun Zan looked south and then showed worry:
"It's just that Lelang County was taken over by him. I'm afraid Gongsun Du in Liaodong is no match, and Youzhou is not guaranteed!"
Dai County!
"Ah! 80 pigs, you actually lost. The whole peninsula is cheaper, Xu Ding, why does he always win! My poor brothers, bless me..."
Yecheng!
"Damn! Damn! Let Xu Ding escape again, why can't this guy be killed, why are his subordinates so tough!"
Lu Yang!
"Bastard, promise that I will kill you! How dare you kill my Yuan family privately, I will make you pay the price, and I will let you know the true strength of my Yuan family!"
Dongjun!
"Birkang won the battle again! Hey, he is getting better and better. When will I be able to lead a state like him! I miss the happy days of fighting with him more and more."
Changsha County!
"It really didn't disappoint me. There are only 80 barbarians. When I win Yuzhang, I will kill [-] Shanyue to deter Jiangdong and eat Yangzhou."
Xuzhou!
"Hahaha, fortunately, Zizhong listened to you at the beginning, and now I am safe in Xuzhou. You see, those yellow scarves and bandits have all retreated into the mountains and forests, and all the soldiers and horses in the surrounding states and counties have honestly put away their claws for me , this ally of Marquis Weihai is not in vain!"
Others such as Jingzhou, Yizhou, Yangzhou and other places reacted exactly the opposite.
"Fake! It's too fake. After defeating the 88th Allied Forces, can you boast more? If the natives are so easy to kill, maybe only 8 or [-] people died. The majestic Marquis of Weihai, number one in the world, also I like to play this kind of word games, so disappointed..."
Chapter 348 Chaotic kings in the world, attacking Xu Weihuang
Chang'an City!
At this time, Dong Zhuo's army retreated to Guanzhong, and sat and watched the changes in the world.
From time to time, edicts from the Son of Heaven were issued to encourage the princes to attack each other.
"Wenyou, when can we attack Liangzhou?"
Now Yuan Shao, Liu Bei, and Gongsun Zan have divided Jizhou equally and killed Han Fu.
He is gloating, but also a little jealous and envious.
The three little wolf cubs have entered the set, and there will be another battle for Jizhou.
But it is an indisputable fact that they are all expanding their strength. On the contrary, his Xiliang army has retreated to the pass, and has not done anything for a long time.
Li Ru replied: "Prime Minister, Liangzhou needs a slow plan. We should first settle with Han Sui and Ma Teng, send people to appease them, grant them the official positions they want, paralyze them, and then provoke them secretly. It is best to let them Let's fight first, so that we can dispatch troops to solve the two of them at once."
Dong Zhuo also knew that he was impatient, he nodded slightly, and then asked Jia Xu, the second most counselor sitting down, "Wen He, what good idea do you have now?"
Dong Zhuo found that Jia Xu was always absent-minded, and he did his duty, but he was not active enough. The credit seemed dispensable to him. This guy was old, and he didn't want to give a woman, and he accepted the money honestly. ,But this is not enough.
Jia Xu said: "Prime Minister, I think that conquest and war is not what we should do now. The Prime Minister has many good generals, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, but it is difficult to support them. What we need to do now is to restore the economy and expand production. Store more food to recuperate."
"Well! What Wen He said is really important." Of course Dong Zhuo understood the reason why the three armies hadn't moved and the food and grass had to go first.
His Xiliang Army has more than 20 to [-] people, and the daily ration is an astronomical figure, which is a major headache for him.
"How should Wenhe restore the economy, expand production, and store food." Dong Zhuo was hit many times because of Xu Ding's appearance in this life, so he is not as infinitely arrogant as in the original history, but has partially changed.
Because he knew that there would be no change, even if the Kanto princes started fighting with each other, it would not be his turn to come out to pick the fruit in the end, so Xu Ding was able to clean up the Kanto and take away the big head.
Jia Xu said: "Prime Minister, I heard that in the Qin Dynasty, because of the construction of the Zhengguo Canal, Guanzhong became a fertile soil and granary, and it had the strength to compete for the top and wipe out the six kingdoms. With a steady stream of money, food, soldiers and horses, after losing time and time again to the overlord of Western Chu, you finally won, now you, Prime Minister, are in a similar situation to them, why not follow their example."
Dong Zhuo nodded frequently.
He retreated to Guanzhong, didn't he just want to wait for an opportunity, and then finally wipe out the Kanto region like Qin Shihuang and Han Gaozu.
"Okay! I'll leave this to you, Wenhe, dredging the Zhengguo Canal, restoring production in Guanzhong, and entrusting you with the heavy responsibility of hoarding grain." Dong Zhuo thought for a while, and when he saw Li Ru's eyes of agreement, he agreed. After Jia Xu's words.
Jia Xu took the order and left.
Seeing Jia Xu leave, Dong Zhuo said, "Wenyou, do you think this would be too much to use?"
Li Rudao: "It's true, but Wen He is not willing to get in touch with the military and politics, and his personality is conservative."
Dong Zhuo's eyes lit up, it was true that what he wanted to say was conservative.
Jia Xu tends to be a little more relaxed, and usually doesn't argue about anything, but this time she was too proactive, and the purpose of taking the initiative this time was to avoid trouble.
Dong Zhuo was slightly dissatisfied and said: "Wen You can find a way to make Wen He take the initiative and deal with military affairs more."
Li Ru thought for a while and said, "Prime Minister, I heard people say that the groom who helped Wenhe drive the horses was his son-in-law. It's better to promote his son-in-law as a general, so..."
Li Ru didn't need to say what happened next, Dong Zhuo knew it too.
"Wonderful, let's do this. Immediately recruit him as a captain and assign him a military horse."
Li Ru smiled slightly, staring at the direction Jia Xu was leaving, at this moment a person rushed in outside the door, saw Dong Zhuo knelt down and said: "The prime minister has news from Dong, Xu Ding..."
It is said that Jia Xu came out of Dong Zhuo's mansion, got into the carriage, Zhao Ling drove the horse away, and asked at the same time: "What order did Dong Zhuo ask you to get from Dong Zhuo this time.
Jia Xu pretended to sleep and said in a low voice: "We can not wait for Chang'an City for a while. There is a Zhengguo Canal on the north side of the Weihe River. We will have to deal with it in the next few years."
"Xiuqu, why did you take such a hard job? You won't ask for it." Zhao Ling frowned slightly. Jia Xu, an old man, took such a job of eating and sleeping in the open, and he also wanted to go to the sun with him, right? The city of Chang'an is comfortable.
Jia Xu sneered and said: "What? Isn't it good? This is a good thing that is good for the present and beneficial for all generations. In the future, no matter who is in charge of the customs, you must read my good."
The subtext is that regardless of Dong Zhuo's downfall or other princes capturing Guanzhong, Jia Xu will only make meritorious deeds and no one will liquidate him.
At the same time, he took advantage of this time to avoid Dong Zhuo's absurd political period, and to avoid all kinds of strife and struggles within Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo has never been optimistic about Dong Zhuo here. There are countless factions among the various departments of the Xiliang Army, competing for power with each other.
Although Dong Zhuo monopolized the power in the court, with one person under ten thousand, but the gang of royalists and the hidden sons of the major Kanto princes also spread to various departments, and if he was not careful, he would be caught in the fire and burn himself.
Therefore, Jia Xu still does less work, takes less credit, and stands out less as always.
For things like dredging ditches, no one will pay attention to them if they are not done well, and they will only be praised if they are done well, so when you realize that Li Ru is going to keep pushing him into the fire pit, you might as well take the initiative to retreat instead of advancing.
