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

This also made Du Xi particularly grateful.

As soon as the weather turned warmer this year and the road conditions on the Qiao-Han Road improved, he immediately rode his horse at full speed.

"Haha, Zixu."

"Have the tribe members settled down?"

When Dong Yu saw the person coming, he immediately stood up with a smile.

"Thanks to the general's concern, I have already settled my clansmen in Chang'an City."

"When I heard that the general was stationed in Luoyang, I immediately rushed over, hoping to do what I could for the general."

Du Xi smiled, cupped his hands, and spoke cheerfully.

"Haha, great! I'm really happy to have Zixu's assistance!"

Dong Yu laughed out loud, but he was very happy in his heart.

Du Xi is a talented person, and a great one at that.

As one of the four famous scholars of Yingchuan, Du Xi not only had political talent, but also military talent.

He was over ninety in politics and strategy, and over eighty in command.

I have to say that the talents in Yingchuan are very awesome.

Almost everyone has all-round development in morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics and labor.

He can be a counselor, a politician, and even lead troops to fight a war of a relatively small scale when necessary.

With such a talent, there is absolutely no problem for him to become a county governor.

"It is my great honor to assist you in achieving great things."

Du Xi did not act pretentiously and bowed to the Lord immediately.

His family had already been sent to Chang'an, so he had naturally prepared himself mentally. So when Dong Yu finished speaking, he had almost no hesitation.

"Zixu, there's something I need your help with."

Dong Yu pulled Du Xi's arm and said with a smile.

Du Xi was immediately delighted when he heard that there would be work to do as soon as he started working.

I am not afraid that my boss will not give me a job, but I am afraid that I will have no job after joining.

People like Du Xi are not the kind of people who are willing to just eat and wait for death.

His life goal is to climb up, show his talents, reach the pinnacle of life, and bring his family to a higher level.

So, when Dong Yu gave him the task, he was really happy.

When your leader gives you work to do, it means he values ​​you.

"My lord, please speak freely!"

Du Xi cupped his hands and spoke seriously.

"It's like this... this and this, and this and that."

"The matter of General Qiao and his subordinates' families is of great importance."

"If Zixu can successfully negotiate, I will reward him handsomely."

Dong Yu said solemnly to Du Xi.

"Subordinates take orders!"

Du Xi was shocked and immediately clasped his fists to accept the order.

I thought it was some kind of mission.

Isn't it just a business visit?

Idiot!

This kind of thing is not difficult at all. The only thing is that you will suffer a little on the way, and then you have to be careful not to be killed by bandits on the way.

It only takes one or two months to go back and forth. After returning, you will be considered to have made some achievements, and your career will definitely be smooth. It is even possible for you to take office immediately.

"Okay, then I'll leave this matter to Zixu."

Dong Yu nodded slightly and said with satisfaction.

Since the weather got warmer, Dong Yu finally had a busy life.

Although there are not many government affairs, I am very busy with planning.

Sending people to negotiate with Gongsun Zan regarding matters concerning Yuan Shao should yield results soon.

...

Youbeiping

After several battles with Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao won and lost alternately, and neither side gained anything.

Compared with Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan's losses would be greater.

More than half of the nearly 10,000 cavalrymen were killed, and the most elite White Horse Volunteers were directly expelled.

It is estimated that Gongsun Zan is the only one in the world who can afford to maintain 10,000 cavalrymen.

With a horse farm nearby, there is no need to worry about fodder.

Although Liu Yu imposed restrictions on food, Gongsun Zan often allowed his soldiers to plunder civilians and the Hu people, so there was no shortage of food either.

This is also why he dared to use the power of one county to be at odds with Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou, and also to go to war with Yuan Shao.

With his strength here, he can do whatever he wants.

However, with the end of the Battle of Jie Bridge, Gongsun Zan had to seek external assistance.

Yuan Shu is the best example.

"Damn Yuan Benchu!"

"I swear to kill you!"

Gongsun Zan slammed his palm on the table, and veins popped out on his forehead.

Not long ago, Tian Kai and Liu Bei's army was defeated by Yuan Shao's army in Longcou.

More than ten thousand soldiers were killed, and countless food and supplies were lost.

"My lord, I will fight you."

Shan Jing stood up, clasped his fists, and looked angry.

"My lord, I am willing to lead an army of 10,000 to capture Yecheng and behead Yuan Shao!"

Zou Dan also asked to fight without considering anything else.

Compared with the many advisers under Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan only had Guan Jing, a civil servant with relatively strong say.

Although he had some strategies, he was slightly lacking in strategy and could not make up for Gongsun Zan's shortcomings.

"it is good!"

"Then fight!"

"This Jizhou should have been mine, mine!"

Gongsun Zan was so furious at the instigation of the two generals that he was about to send his troops south.

"Report!"

"My lord, an envoy has arrived from outside the camp, claiming to be from Chang'an."

At this moment, a personal soldier came from outside the tent and spoke loudly to Gongsun Zan.

"Chang'an?"

"Dong the thief's people..."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other with puzzled expressions.

Dong Zhuo is no longer the same as he used to be. Back then, it took all the princes to join forces to defeat him. Now, Gongsun Zan feels that he can fight the thief Dong alone.

"My lord, may I meet him first?"

Guan Jing stroked his beard and suggested.

"Bring someone in."

Gongsun Zan nodded and spoke immediately.

Soon, Liu Ai, Dong Zhuo's trusted strategist, walked in with his personal soldiers.

"Liu Ai, Chief Secretary of the Prime Minister's Office, greets Governor Gongsun."

Liu Ai bowed and saluted Gongsun Zan.

"hehe."

"Why did the thief Dong send you here?"

Gongsun Zan asked with a bad look on his face.

"Of course there's something good going on."

"Grand Marshal Gongsun, please accept the order."

Liu Ai took out the imperial edict from his sleeve and looked at Gongsun Zan with a smile.

"Receive an order?"

"Is this the order from the traitor Dong or the imperial court?"

Gongsun Zan asked with a sneer on his face.

"Is it important?"

Liu Ai asked back.

"No need to read it, Guan Jing, bring the imperial edict here."

Gongsun Zan frowned and gave instructions to Guan Jing who was standing beside him.

Hearing this, Guan Jing walked towards Liu Ai.

Liu Ai did not insist on anything and handed the imperial edict to the other party.

When Gongsun Zan spread out the imperial edict and saw its contents, he immediately showed an expression of great joy.

That’s right, it doesn’t matter who issued the imperial edict, what matters is the content of the edict.

As long as the content is beneficial to oneself, who cares?
