System Blessing: The Young Master of the Dong Family and Diao Chan's Fate

Chapter 210

From the city wall of Luoyang, you can see the situation in half of the city.

Dong Yu and a few others stood on the Luoyang city wall, looking at the mountains and rivers outside the city.

"My Lord, after we occupy Luoyang, there is no need to rush into battle with the other princes."

"It would be more beneficial to wait and see."

Xun You stroked his beard and said in a deep voice.

"The more chaotic the world is, the better it is for us."

"When the world situation stabilizes, it will be even more difficult for us."

Dong Yu shook his head. He did not agree with Xun You's proposal.

The Dong family's situation is different from that of other princes.

Even someone like Gongsun Zan has a better reputation than the Dong family.

It can be said that once the situation in the world stabilizes, the princes from all sides will compete to become the winner of the first round.

Then the Dong family will immediately become the target of public criticism.

Today, the situation in the world is still in chaos, with wars breaking out among the princes in various places. Dozens of princes, big and small, are constantly engaged in wars in the Central Plains and Hebei.

Among them, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan fought fiercely.

Last year, Yuan Shao destroyed Gongsun Zan's Baima Yicong at Jie Bridge, and not long ago, Gongsun Zan defeated Yuan Shao again at Juma Shui.

However, before Gongsun Zan could get excited, Yuan Shao defeated Tian Kai, who was supporting Gongsun Zan in Qingzhou, at Longcou.

It can be said that the two major princes in the north were fighting each other almost to the death.

Even the hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turbans from Qingzhou who went to Jizhou to join in the fun were beaten up by Gongsun Zan in Bohai.

And what about the Central Plains?

After suffering a great loss at the hands of Dong Yu, Yuan Shu did not become discouraged.

After abandoning the empty Yingchuan as a strategic buffer zone with the Dong family, he set his sights on Yangzhou.

In Yanzhou, Boss Cao has taken up the Yanzhou banner amidst difficulties and is suppressing the Yellow Turban Rebellion, but the outcome is still undecided.

The same was true in Xuzhou, where Tao Qian was suppressing the Yellow Turbans from Qingzhou who had poured into Xuzhou.

The world is in chaos, and what Dong Yu needs to do is to win in the chaos.

Hebei is definitely the first strategic target.

If you want to attack Hebei, Hanoi is definitely a place that must be captured.

"My lord, Zhang Yang is a man of extraordinary courage and bravery, but he doesn't have much ambition."

"Otherwise, they will definitely take advantage of this opportunity to cause trouble."

"I heard that General Lu has a close relationship with him. Why not let him act as a lobbyist and persuade him to join us?"

Seeing that Dong Yu insisted, Xun You stopped trying to persuade him and instead began to give him advice to avoid any mistakes.

Although Zhang Yang ostensibly joined the Dong family, he actually maintained relative independence.

This kind of relationship was very common during the late Han Dynasty. For example, after Yuan Shao unified the north, the area he could directly control was still only Jizhou.

For example, after pacifying the north, Boss Cao, forces such as Zang Ba and Zhang Yan also maintained relative independence.

It is more like dependence than taking refuge.

"Only by promising great profits can it be accomplished."

Hearing this, Dong Yu nodded slightly and said.

...

Hanoi

After Dong Yu completed his plan to wipe out Zhu Jun, Zhang Yang also returned from farming in Dangyin.

Yuan Shao was really disgusted by the act of publicizing farming.

After all, it's so cold, why are you planting chicken feathers?

“I don’t know when the benefits will arrive.”

"He won't make empty promises to me, right?"

"I'm still waiting for the benefits to arrive, so I can avenge my previous shame."

Zhang Yang began to calculate the promised money and food in his mansion.

If everyone has obsessions, then Zhang Yang's obsession is Shangdang.

At that time, he was still a younger brother of Yuan Shao, participated in the Eastern Expedition Alliance, and served as the prefect of Shangdang.

As a result, when he returned, he was ambushed by Yu Fuluo and became a prisoner of the Huns, becoming an overseas student.

After being taken captive to Hedong, Dong Zhuo, who moved westward, defeated the Southern Xiongnu and rescued Zhang Yang.

Fortunately, he knew Lu Bu, so he became the prefect of Henei.

He now dreams of returning to Shangdang instead of Hanoi, a place where he can't sleep well.

"General, a man claiming to be Lu Bu has arrived and is waiting outside the mansion."

Just then, a soldier walked in and reported to Zhang Yang outside the hall.

"Oh?"

"Brother Fengxian?"

Zhang Yang looked delighted and immediately stood up to go and greet him in person.

When he reached the door, he saw the two iconic mantis whiskers on Lu Bu's head.

"Brother Lu!"

"Brother Zhang!"

"Hahaha!"

The two of them said something to each other, then smiled at each other.

"Brother Lu has come from afar. Come quickly, follow me into the mansion for a chat. I will immediately have someone prepare a banquet to entertain you properly."

Zhang Yang pulled Lu Bu and warmly welcomed him into the mansion.

A banquet was set up with wine and dancing.

"Brother, are you here because of the money and grain that Mr. Dong promised you?"

Zhang Yang put down his wine cup and asked curiously.

"what?"

"What money and food?"

Lu Bu asked back in surprise.

"what?"

"Didn't my brother write in the letter that Lord Dong promised me 30,000 dan of grain and fodder after the mission was accomplished?"

Zhang Yang's heart tightened, and he felt that he might have been cheated.

"Ah, this matter."

"There's no rush for this, let's talk business first."

Lu Bu waved his hand and then his expression became serious.

Isn't this business?

?6?4 Paying salary is not a serious matter?

Am I working for nothing?

F**K these evil landlords and capitalists!

Zhang Yang cursed in his heart, but did not show his dissatisfaction on the surface.

"I came here this time because of great joy."

"The Prime Minister wishes to appoint my virtuous brother as General of the State of An, with the post of Governor of Hedong, and the title of Marquis of Anyangting."

Lu Bu said to Zhang Yang with a big smile on his face.

"I disagree!"

Zhang Yang's face changed and he immediately slammed the table.

"What do you mean, brother?"

Lu Bu also looked annoyed.

"I won't answer the call, Governor of Hedong."

"If anyone wants to take him, it must be the Shangdang prefect!"

"Where I fell, I will get up from there!"

Zhang Yang shook his head repeatedly, looking stubborn.

"Ah this..."

Lu Bu was confused.

You don't want the good Hedong, why the hell do you want to go to this crappy place called Shangdang?
