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

乔府

After Du Xi left, Qiao Rui was left sitting alone in the room.

Tangled ah!

My own precious daughter.

Give it to someone as a concubine?

If she were a girl from an ordinary family, no one would say anything.

Although the Qiao family is not a top wealthy family, it is also a local big family.

Embarrassing himself was a small matter, but bringing shame to the family was what Qiao Rui could not accept.

"Father..."

Da Qiao looked at her troubled father and called out softly.

"Da...Da Qiao."

Qiao Rui was speechless and didn't know how to start for a moment.

"My daughter heard everything I just said."

"If I can really help my father, I am willing to do so."

"Besides, he is my father's lord, so my daughter might have been marrying above her station."

Da Qiao forced a smile and tried her best to reassure Qiao Rui.

"Da Qiao...it's because of my father's incompetence."

Qiao Rui sighed with a look of pity on his face.

The status of a concubine is too low.

Qiao Rui was really worried that his daughter would be bullied after she went there.

For example, they are traded like objects, or bullied like tools.

As a concubine, even if she is killed by her master, it is not considered a violation of the law.

In terms of status, it is probably only slightly better than some slaves.

"Father, your daughter will handle things with caution."

Da Qiao held Qiao Rui's big hand and smiled.

...

General House

In the study, Dong Yu had been discussing the marching route with everyone for several days.

After all, we are going to go to war with Yuan Shao. The more plans we make in the early stage, the more options we will have later.

"My lord, I think there is no need to dwell on one thing."

“Henoi is certainly closer to Jizhou, but it will also be guarded against.”

“The saying goes, ‘Win by surprise!’ Sometimes, a little surprise can lead to greater results.”

"Don't forget, when the lord came to rescue Yingchuan, wasn't he victorious by using surprise?"

Xun You cupped his hands and gave a reminder.

Hearing this, Dong Yu couldn't help but nodded.

Seeing Dong Yu's response, Xun You began to analyze again.

"We can use General Zhao's troops as a feint to attract the enemy's attention."

"Send another force out of Hulao Pass and head north via the Yellow River crossing."

"Although this will temporarily disperse our forces, as long as we cross the Yellow River, our army can fully unite with General Zhao."

"By then, even if General Zhao's troops are blocked, we can still encircle the enemy from both front and back."

Ever since Xun Yu came, Xun You has felt the pressure.

Therefore, Xun You was quite proactive in both making suggestions and strategic planning.

Although the two are uncle and nephew, they are not as close as imagined.

Dong Yu saw this kind of involutionary behavior and was happy about it.

Anyway, the boss is the one who benefits from the internal competition among employees, so what is there for him as a boss to be afraid of?

The more capable his employees are, the happier he is as a boss.

"My lord, there is another advantage to taking the Hulao Pass route."

"We can transport the grain and fodder all the way through the Luo River, without having to transfer to land transportation."

Perhaps to prove that this route was feasible, Xun You pointed to the waterway on the map heading east, while glancing at Xun Yu from time to time.

"good."

Dong Yu nodded slightly.

Xun Yu, who was standing aside, was speechless.

As for not!

Is it so curly?

We are all members of the Xun family. What do you mean by "look at me"?

Do you think you are so awesome and that you can pin me to the ground?

You want to roll, right?

Come on, who’s afraid of who!

Xun Yu gritted his teeth and spoke decisively: "When attacking Zhu Jun, the Black Mountain Army had an encounter with my lord."

"Plus, when the Black Mountain Army attacked Zhao, they were defeated by Yuan Shao and lost a lot of men and horses. I believe they also have a lot of resentment towards Yuan Shao."

"And after our last cooperation, I believe the Montenegrin Army is still more inclined towards us."

"Why not negotiate with the Black Mountain Army again and have them respond from Yuan Shao's rear when we dispatch our troops?"

"If this happens, Yuan Shao will be too busy to handle everything."

After Xun Yu finished speaking, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Xun You.
