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

It would take several days to complete the task of crossing the river with tens of thousands of troops and over 100,000 civilians.

Although Li Tong and Chen Gong won quickly, there was no guarantee that some soldiers and low-ranking officers would not take advantage of the chaos to escape.

Therefore, after another surprise attack, it would be difficult to capture Yanzhou by the same method.

At least after Cao Ren receives the news, he will definitely respond immediately.

"Zilong, Liang Xi, the two of you will lead an army of 10,000 to Yanjin and defeat the defenders of Yanjin, allowing our army to sail through both ferry crossings simultaneously."

Dong Yu looked at the army setting up camp and turned back to give orders to Zhao Yun.

"promise!"

"The last general takes command!"

Zhao Yun and Liang Xi clasped their fists at the same time.

Liang Xi didn't expect that he would be given a task as soon as he joined.

After receiving the task, he even appeared happier and more excited than Zhao Yun.

Just then, a messenger was coming from the other side by boat.

"Report!"

"General, a letter has arrived from Chang'an."

As soon as he got off the boat, the soldiers rushed to Dong Yu.

"Chang'an?"

"No, what else could it be?"

Dong Yu frowned, looking puzzled.

After opening the letter and seeing its contents, Dong Yu's heart tightened.

Dong Yu's grandmother, Dong Zhuo's mother, passed away.

At the age of ninety-five, to be honest, he definitely died of old age.

In terms of longevity, there were probably few people in the entire late Han Dynasty who could match him.

Dong Yu actually doesn't have deep feelings for this grandmother.

When we were in Chang'an, we only met a few times, and he was confused and talked nonsense all day long.

However, in the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, where filial piety was extremely valued, Dong Yu, as a grandson, had to express something.

"My Lord, what does the letter say?"

Xu Chu asked curiously.

"what!!!"

"It hurts, it hurts!!"

Suddenly, Dong Yu cried out in pain, and after saying "It hurts" twice, he fell backwards.

"Lord!!!"

Xu Chu was startled and quickly hugged Dong Yu.

"Lord!"

“My Lord!!”

"General!!"

Hearing the sound, others looked in this direction.

"Assassin, beware of assassins!"

"It must be an assassin, otherwise why would the lord scream so miserably!"

"Quick, the whole army will line up."

When they saw Dong Yu fainted, they panicked and surrounded him.

At the same time, some quick-witted generals immediately ordered their soldiers to be on high alert to prevent a sneak attack from Lao Liu who was lurking nearby.

"Zhongkang, what happened?"

Guo Jia, Xun You, Jia Xu and others gathered together, looking worriedly at Xu Chu and Dong Yu in the other's arms.

md!

Nothing can happen!

If Dong Yu died from an assassination just after entering the Central Plains, the Dong family would be finished.

Although Dong Yu has a child.

But how old was that?

Dong Zhuo was only famous in the Xiliang Army. In such a big organization built by Dong Yu, he had almost no reputation, let alone deterrence.

If Dong Yu died, they would definitely collapse.

"Where did the assassin come from?"

Xu Chu looked around in confusion.

"Isn't it an assassin's sneak attack?"

Guo Jia looked at Xu Chu in confusion.

Even as smart as these counselors were, they couldn't figure out what was going on at this moment.

What on earth could have caused Dong Yu to let out such a shrill scream?

"The Lord just took a look at the letter."

Xu Chu hugged Dong Yu and said with a wry smile.

"letter?"

Guo Jia frowned and immediately picked up the letter on the ground.

After reading the contents of the letter, his expression suddenly changed and he showed admiration.

"My lord...you are truly a filial person!"

Guo Jia's face was full of admiration.

"Fengxiao, what's going on?"

Jia Xu, Xun You and others looked at Guo Jia speechlessly.

I'm so shocked. Could you explain the problem clearly?

"The lord's grandmother... passed away."

Guo Jia sighed and said in a somewhat depressed mood.

(Princes and those with titles were called "hong". Dong Zhuo's mother was named Chiyang Jun, and she also held a title, so the term "hong" is used here. As for the issue of male superiority and female inferiority, the records show that there was no such thing as male superiority and female inferiority. Like the emperor and the retired emperor, the empress dowager and the queen also died. The same applies to princes. Both men and women died with the term "hong", which proves that men and women were relatively equal in this regard in ancient times.)
