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

"After all, when we attacked Jingzhou, didn't we also declare that we had a million troops?"

Dian Wei scratched his head and revealed the truth.

"No matter what, this is a great occasion."

"Sun Quan was captured alive... Haha, I'm afraid Jiangdong will fall into my hands before Xichuan."

Dong Yu didn't care whether it was bragging or not.

Now that Sun Quan has been captured, Zhang Liao said in a letter that he has led his troops to Jiangdong.

Although this was a case of executing first and reporting later, it also proved that Zhang Liao had understood the choice he should make when faced with a decision as a famous general.

You will be outside, and your orders will not be accepted.

There is a lag in information. If you wait for the military report to be delivered and then send someone to give orders, it will take a full ten days or half a month.

Such a long time is enough for you to miss too many opportunities.

Suspicion?

cant!

If Zhang Liao really had rebellious intentions, he would not have sent the military report to ask for instructions.

He directly announced to the outside world that it was Dong Yu's order, and then led his army across the river to capture Jiangdong.

By the time Zhang Liao declared rebellion, the soldiers were unable to get off the pirate ship.

As for bragging, it is equivalent to lying about military intelligence.

Let him blow!

He was so powerful that he even captured Sun Zhongmou alive.

What's wrong with letting him blow it?

"My lord, you have already gained eleven of the thirteen states in the world."

"Only Jiaozhou and Yizhou remain."

"However, neither Jiaozhou nor Yizhou can stop my lord from unifying the world."

"I believe that we should return to Luoyang as soon as possible to prepare for the ascension to the throne."

“By then, you can rely on the merits of Jiaozhou and Yizhou to establish your imperial achievements.”

Guo Jia looked at Dong Yu and said seriously.

Emperors also need achievements.

It would not be impossible for Dong Yu to become emperor after the world is pacified.

But if that happens, wouldn’t we lose two achievements in expanding territory?

Although this may seem a bit of a trick, considering that Liu Xiu proclaimed himself emperor after unifying Hebei, this is already considered good.

"Regarding the matter of becoming emperor...I...uh, am I lacking in virtue?"

Dong Yu stroked his beard and forced a smile.

"..."

Dian Wei and Xu Chu's eyes widened.

No, my lord, you let it all slip!

What are you still pretending for?

"Your Excellency has the people of the world in mind, reducing taxes and levies, allowing the people of the north to live and work in peace and contentment. This is virtue."

"My lord, you have gathered talented men to revive your country, and have been invincible in battle, uniting a divided world. This is your achievement."

"Now that our Lord has both virtue and merit, how can you say he lacks virtue?"

"If my lord does not become emperor, who else in the world can become emperor?"

Guo Jia maintained a professional attitude and a serious expression.

"Let's discuss this matter later."

Dong Yu waved his hand.

More haste less speed.

Even when it comes to claiming the throne, one must be humble.

Although this matter is almost obvious, if you don't do it, people will eventually talk about you behind your back.

Guo Jia thought about it and immediately understood Dong Yu's idea.

The next day, Guo Jia did not speak to persuade him, but Xun You spoke instead.

As one of the earliest counselors to follow Dong Yu, Xun You can be said to have worked hard and made great contributions.

However, in the face of Xun You's request, Dong Yu still sternly refused.

Until three days later...

Dong Yu held a banquet to celebrate Zhang Liao's victory over Sun Shiwan.

He hosted a banquet for his civil and military officials, and even those who surrendered in Jingzhou were invited.

"Everyone, a few days ago, my general Zhang Liao led 800 cavalrymen to defeat 100,000 elite troops led by Sun Quan's son at Xiaoyaojin."

"This general is very pleased, so I invite you all to join me for a feast."

Dong Yu held the ear cup and spoke loudly.

"Congratulations, General!"

Almost all the original generals already knew about this, so there was not much emotional change.

On the contrary, Wei Yan, Huo Jun, Huang She, Su Fei, Gan Ning and other Jingzhou generals all looked incredulous.

Eight hundred people killed one hundred thousand people?

Are you kidding me?

Even if it's 100,000 steamed buns, it would take 800 of you half a month to finish them all, right?

But if this is false, it cannot stand up to scrutiny.

Because such a large-scale battle cannot be concealed, and it will spread throughout the states.

If it turns out to be fake, then you would be slapping yourself in the face.

So although they had some doubts, they immediately dispelled them.

"Now, this general has stayed in Jingzhou for more than two months."

"The forces in Jingzhou are becoming more stable."

"The governors of the four southern Jing counties submitted letters of surrender and pledged their allegiance."

"Therefore, this general has decided to choose a day to set off and return to Luoyang to prepare for the next campaign against Yizhou."

"In the future, I hope all the officers and officials will take good care of Jingzhou. This general will not hesitate to reward anyone who has made a contribution."

Dong Yu drank a glass of wine and spoke again.

"We will swear to be loyal to the general until death, even if it means sacrificing our lives."

Everyone was delighted that the butcher was finally leaving.

The two-month-long Jingzhou massacre has finally come to an end.

Even though they have been accepted by Dong Yu these days, they still live on pins and needles, fearing that their family will be destroyed one night.

"Okay, this general believes that you generals are talented."

"Jingzhou will surely be able to quickly restore people's livelihood."

Dong Yu nodded slightly and drank another glass of wine.

At this moment, a cold river breeze blew into the hall, making everyone feel cold.

"General, it's cold, I'll put some clothes on you."

"Don't catch a cold."

Dian Wei and Xu Chu, who had been standing by their side, immediately took out the dragon robes they had prepared in advance.

Xu Chu held Dong Yu's shoulders, while Dian Wei personally put the dragon robe on Dong Yu.

"Ah, what are you doing?"

"You have really caused me so much trouble!"

Dong Yu was pressed on the chair by Xu Chu and could not move. He could only speak with a bitter face.
