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

"It's better to train more and work harder in peacetime than to lose your life on the battlefield."

Dong Yu picked up the dishes and ate while speaking.

"It seems the general has big plans."

Jia Xu said thoughtfully.

"In this position, if you don't advance, you will die."

"You also understand that the Xiliang Army is now facing internal and external troubles. The internal conflicts are difficult to resolve in a short period of time, and there are powerful enemies all around, each of whom is eager to exterminate my Dong family."

"It's about advancement, but also about self-preservation."

Dong Yu stopped picking up the meat with his chopsticks and said seriously.

"Is the conflict the General wants to resolve between the aristocratic families or the military?"

Jia Xu took a bite of the chicken leg, his eyes wide open.

Dong Yu did not lie to him. This chicken leg tasted countless times better than the ones he had eaten before.

"It all has to be resolved, doesn't it?"

Hearing Jia Xu's question, Dong Yu stared at him with a smile.

"We should first resolve the issue of the aristocratic families, and then proceed to resolve the conflicts in the military."

"As for how to solve it, the answer lies in the hands of my subordinates."

Jia Xu shook the chicken leg in his hand and said mysteriously.

"what?"

"Can't you just say what you want to say?"

Dong Yu held his forehead. With his intelligence, he really couldn't keep up with Jia Xu's speed.

“If interests are not evenly distributed, there will be internal disintegration.”

"Human nature is such that any powerful enemy can be destroyed from within."

“Once there are problems internally, they are like lambs to be slaughtered.”

"Before we deal with the aristocratic families, the army cannot have any problems. At the very least, Lord Dong and the general cannot lose the morale of the troops."

Hearing this, Jia Xu smiled and explained what he meant.

"Can you understand a little more?"

Dong Yu stared at Jia Xu eagerly, feeling that what the other party said was very good, but he really didn't understand.

He actually understood the principle, but he just didn't know how to proceed.

"For example, one family's son committed a crime and the matter was resolved, while another family's son committed a minor offense and the general executed him directly."

"General, what do you think the elders of the person who was executed would think?"

Jia Xu frowned. Although he thought Dong Yu was a little stupid, he still patiently explained for the sake of his life.

"He will feel that he has secretly turned to us."

Dong Yu's eyes lit up, and he finally understood what the other party meant by chicken legs.

"This method can also be used for military issues."

"Although this will make some soldiers abandoned, it will still preserve some. Otherwise, the other methods will cause serious damage to the Xiliang army."

"Otherwise, if the Xiliang army suffers too much, the Bingzhou army will become stronger. General Lu is not a good person. He can be used but not trusted."

"If the general wishes to divide the Bingzhou army, he can make use of Zhang Wenyuan. He is a man of outstanding ability and holds considerable prestige within the army. He is not necessarily inferior to General Lu."

Jia Xu nodded slightly and continued.

For the sake of his own safety, Jia Xu took a risk and spoke out the solutions to many problems in one breath.

What Lao Jia is thinking now is that now that I have solved all the problems, this guy probably won’t come to me again in the short term.

As time goes by, it will be better to forget about yourself so that you can leave here secretly.

"Mr. Wenhe is truly a man of great talent. Please accept my greeting. I also ask that Mr. Wenhe assist me diligently in the future. I will not let you down."

Dong Yu stood up, walked to Jia Xu, and bowed deeply to him.

"Ah... General, this is not allowed."

Jia Xu was startled and quickly stood up and grabbed Dong Yu's arm.

Although Jia Xu's idea was good, he underestimated how important Dong Yu was to him.

From the moment they met, Jia Xu would be under constant surveillance by Dong Yu.

Just as Lao Cao thought, it is better to keep a person like Jia Xu by my side than to let him go out and help others to harm me.

"Um... General, I have a family too."

Jia Xu followed Dong Yu with tears in his eyes.

"I'm afraid you'll run away."

Dong Yu glanced at him out of the corner of his eye.

"..."

Jia Xu felt helpless.

With his old arms and legs, where can he run?

The entire Chang'an is the territory of the Dong family, and the situation of other princes is not very good either. Jia Xu will not leave the Dong family without finding a new home.
