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

After being yelled at by Dong Zhuo, Li Jue and others immediately lowered their heads, looking helpless.

"Each generation should do its own thing."

"You're old now, don't go out and mess around anymore."

"I'll make the decision on this matter. If we must send troops to Xiliang next year, General Li and General Guo are both capable generals, so they will lead the troops into Xiliang."

Dong Yu saw that everyone was too afraid to breathe, so he immediately stood up and spoke.

"you..."

Seeing his son contradict him, Dong Zhuo was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.

"Father-in-law, Zihe is right."

"You've done enough."

"Now, my father-in-law only needs to stay in the capital and intimidate the villains in all directions, which is the greatest merit."

Li Ru spoke with a smile on his face.

"Okay, it's settled."

"General Li, General Guo, how many troops do you think you need to recapture the seven counties east of Wudu?"

Dong Yu didn't know much about the situation in Xiliang, so he could only ask the two of them.

"Young Master, I believe that 20,000 troops are sufficient."

"Xiliang is a poor place, and the forces of each faction range from tens of thousands to thousands. It would be useless to have too many troops."

"As long as the 20,000-strong army carries tens of thousands of dan of grain and fodder in the early stages, they can be completely self-sufficient in Xiliang later on."

Li Jue cupped his hands and told the truth.

"Okay, then let's do as General Li says."

Dong Yu nodded and handed the matter over to Li Jue and Guo Fan.

There is no need to elaborate on the loyalty of these two people.

"Thank you, my Lord and Young Master, for your trust."

"The two of us will definitely pacify Xiliang, my Lord and Young Master."

Li Jue and Guo Fan were shocked and bowed.

Although the General of the Household was a powerful general, he was ultimately unable to satisfy the desires of the two.

They are both not young anymore, and in a few years they probably won't be able to lift a knife anymore.

Take advantage of your youth to try again, and in the future you will be awarded a high-ranking general title such as Si Zheng, Si Zhen, Si An, and Si Ping, and then you can relinquish your military power and live off your old wealth.

"Besides the matter of Xiliang today, there is another more important matter."

"If we can pacify Xiliang this time, with the merits of the Prime Minister, we can go one step further."

Li Ru stroked his beard and spoke with a smile.

Although Dong Zhuo is now the prime minister, grand tutor, and has the title of Marquis of Mei, his territory is gradually expanding.

Whether it is ambition or political need, the Marquis is no longer enough.

"Female Duke?"

"If it includes the recovery of Xiliang."

"Father's contribution is enough."

Dong Yu nodded and whispered.

"The matter of conferring the title of Duke still needs careful planning and operation."

“Although it is sufficient, it will still take several years of operation.”

"I have discussed privately with the Prime Minister that after we recover Xiliang, I will promote you to the Duke of Liang."

Li Ru said this with a smile, and it was obvious that he cared a lot about being conferred the title of Duke.

"With so many good places, why did you have to choose Liangzhou?"

Dong Yu held his forehead and asked unhappily.

There are so many rich places in the world, and Wei, Jin, Qin, and Yan are all richer than Liang.

"After all, the lord rose to power in Liang."

Li Ru explained with a dry laugh.

"I'm going to quit. You can change it to whatever you want in the future. I don't care. I'm going to quit."

Dong Zhuo glared at Dong Yu and shouted loudly.

He can't make the decision on going to war, so can he not make the decision on the title of Duke?

"Pooh, pooh, pooh, father... Lord Liang is Lord Liang, but you have to speak in full."

Dong Yu reminded helplessly.

"You little bastard, I'll beat you to death!"

Dong Zhuo reacted immediately and took off his belt.

Dong Yu actually had no idea about sending troops to Xiliang and being promoted to the title of Duke.

As the saying goes, the power of the Han Dynasty still remains, and it is not certain whether now is the right time to be called a duke.

"Gongda, Fengxiao, what do you two think about this matter?"

Dong Yu looked at the two of them with a worried look.

Now Xun You and Guo Jia are the ones with the highest IQ around him.

"I think if we can take Xiliang, it's not a bad idea."

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

Xun You stroked his beard and spoke.

In fact, in Xun You's opinion, even if your Dong family usurps the throne and declares themselves emperor now, it is no big deal.
