Chapter 391 Ten Years (One)

The old lady is gone!

For Dong Chu, it seems that everything is just the beginning.

The old lady seemed to have included a lot of content in her words before leaving. Dong Qi understood some of these words, but some of them were not understood. But no matter whether he understood or not, he could not tell others, and he could only digest them slowly.

Twenty years ago, when Dong Qiu first met Cheng Fang, he made an oath.

I will not rebel against Han in this life!

But the old lady meant: Uncle is gone, everything in the past disappears with Uncle leaving. Does this disappearing include the oath that year? Dong Qi also said it is not accurate...

However, grandma will never be aimless.

Since these words have been said, they must have hidden deep meanings.

As for the statement about the family, Dong Qi thought about it for a long time in front of his grandmother's mourning hall and found some clues.

But grandma left after all!

The older generation has passed away one by one, and only Liu Hong is left with Dong Qi, and the old Mr. Cai Yong who is far away from Middle Earth and is now missing. Sometimes, Dong Qi really envies, envies Cai Yong.

How cool the old man was leaving...

I didn't care about anything and took the entourage to hike so freely. When I arrived, I even left a queen mother.

Don't know how he is now?

*******

According to the etiquette system, Dong Qi should resign from Chang'an and retire for three years.

Although I thought so in my heart, I actually don’t think that when Dong Qi was in Chang'an, I did nothing all day long. But now that I am gone, many people find that it is completely different to having Dong Qi in charge and not having Dong Qi in charge.

In the tenth month after Dong Qi left Chang'an, Chen Gong wrote.

The princes of Guandong will meet in Luoyang in November. It seems that they want to use troops to Guanzhong!

Although there are heavy troops to defend each level, and after more than a year of rest and recuperation, Guanzhong can be said to have sufficient food and supplies and is as strong as a cloud of courage. However, without Dong Qi's presence in Chang'an, Chen Gong and others could not stabilize the situation.

Even Liu Bing, the King of the Western Han Dynasty, was keenly aware of the turbulence in Chang'an.

In a month, people were sent to urge Dong Chi to return five times. The words in the letters became more and more urgent.

There was no way. After eight months of retirement, Dong Qi set out from Han'an City and set out on the road to Chang'an again.

After eight months of separation from Guanzhong, when Dong Qi entered Liangzhou from Hexi, Liangzhou Governor Chen Dao was already waiting for Li Zu.

"Why did the princes of Guandong suddenly meet in Luoyang?"

Dong Qiu asked Chen Dao in confusion in Li Zu's office.

Although a document will be sent to Han'an City, Daxi Prefecture every three days, Dong Qi did not pay much attention.

Chen Dao, who is already in his thirties, seems more calm than before.

He waved his hand to order the officials in the hall to withdraw. After a moment, the entire hall was placed under the protection of trolls and strikers.

"In March, something big happened in Xuchang!"

Dong Qi frowned and asked softly: "What happened to Xuchang?"

"The general of the auxiliary state Fu Wan secretly colluded with Liu Bei in Xuzhou and Liu Biao in Jingzhou, and planned an assassination of Cao Cao."

"oh?"

Dong Qi raised his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes into a slit.

Fu finished?

This seems to be the guy that Dong Qi wanted to marry Liu Bian back then, but later this guy chose Emperor Han Liu Xie. Moreover, in the Romance, Fu Wan seemed to have had a similar move. He thought it would not happen again, but unexpectedly...

"Why did Fu Wan assassinate Cao Cao, and what was the result?"

Chen Dao said: "Cao Cao led the prime minister and controlled the court. Fu Wan and other old ministers, including the Han emperor, became decorations... Just as the lord's order to seek talents said: Cao Cao really used the emperor to command the princes, which made Fu Wan and others feel uneasy. As for the result... hehe, since Guo Jia and others were assassinated, Cao Cao can be said to be very cautious in this regard."

It seems that the assassination failed!

While Dong Qi was disappointed, he seemed to be a little excited.

If Cao Mengde really died, it would certainly save Dong Qi a lot of trouble and also reduce a lot of smell.

Being able to defeat Cao Cao upright is the result that Dong Qi wants.

After eight months of meditation, Dong Qi's thoughts have undergone tremendous changes. If he had felt a little worried and fearful in the past and was a little afraid of the great men in history, then now, this sense of fear no longer exists. From being trembling and struggling like walking on thin ice to the princes who are now holding strong soldiers.

Since I can do this, why do I still have to be afraid of you?

"I guess Cao Mengde must have had a massacre!"

Chen Dao nodded with a smile.

If we say that among the subordinates of Dong Qi, the person who knows Dong Qi's personality the best is Chen Dao.

Dong Qi doesn't like reading official documents, especially when he pats his hands and doesn't care about anything. Chen Dao is also very clear about the importance of Dong Qi. If he were himself, he would be unintentional.

"It's not just a massacre, it's like a river of blood... It's no less than the military advisor's methods in Chang'an that day."

Dong Qi raised his eyebrows, and it was indeed Cao Aman's style. In the Romance, didn't he use this method?

"If this is the case, Cao Cao doesn't seem to need the Luoyang Alliance."

"Of course it's not just that... After Fu Wan and others were killed, Cao Cao hanged the queen Fu Shou himself, and married his eldest daughter Cao Jie to the Emperor of Han, and made him the queen. After Cao Jie entered the palace, he quickly found out a piece of news."

"What news?"

Chen Dao whispered: "When Fu Wan was plotting assassination, the Emperor of Han wrote a secret decree and ordered people to send them to Chang'an."

"What?"

Dong Chu began to regret it!

Why didn’t I read those official documents carefully? If it was true, I guess Chen Gong would definitely send them to his desk.

"The content of the letter is not known yet. But Cao Cao was very frightened... So in the name of the emperor, he joined Luoyang and prepared to conquer the heavens. The lord thought that the content of the letter must be very important."

Dong Qi glanced at Chen Dao, "I don't know!"

Then he suddenly smiled, "But this is interesting!"

"Also, in June, Tian Yu submitted a memorial requesting to lead the Northern Expedition with General Zhao Yun, and Lord Chen Gong agreed to his request."

"Northern Expedition?"

Dong Qi widened his eyes and said in surprise: "The Xianbei no longer exists, and there seems to be no great enemy in the north. Who is going to attack the north?"

"Tian Yu said that the remnants of Xianbei were gathered in the north of Wangbei County. If those people were not resolved as soon as possible, they would sooner or later become a big problem. After discussion, Lord Chen Gong and others agreed to Tian Yu and Zhao Yun's memorial. However, the lord was in Han'an at that time, so General Zhao could not say goodbye to the lord in the Western Regions... At the end of July, the two generals had already led their troops north and set off for the expedition!"

I'm afraid this is not as simple as Chen Dao said.

If it were just a remnant of Xianbei, why would Tian Yu and Zhao Yun take action? Wangbei County has many soldiers and horses, which is enough to solve the problem.

With his eyebrows twisted together, Dong Qi pondered silently.

"Lord, if you count the time, the military advisor has been detained for more than a year. Do you see if you can let him..."

Dong Qi glared in detail, "Shuzhi, there are some things that should be said, don't say what should not be said. Jia Xu is so ruthless, and killing a hundred times is not enough to clear it up. Let him stay in the Beijing Supervisory honestly, you don't need to say anything more."

Among a cadre song, Chen Dao and Jia Xu have been partnering for the longest time.

When Dong Qi seized Jia Xu, Chen Dao thought the two of them were just acting. But as time went by, Chen Gong, Xu Shu and others had already banned Jia Xu's position one by one. He couldn't help but hesitate and couldn't figure out the authenticity of the matter.

Could it be that the lord really intends to detain the military advisor for the rest of his life?

Although Chen Gong, Xu Shu and others had strategies, they seemed to be a little far away from the military advisors. It seemed inappropriate to detain this way... I originally wanted to make a statement, but I didn't expect that Dong Qi could not continue to say anything.

According to Chen Dao’s understanding of Dong Qi, the lord is not a ruthless person.

Could it be that the lord has other plans in his mind...forget it, since the lord doesn't let him ask, then I'd better not be in trouble.

Dong Qi left again after staying with Li Zu for two days.

Along the way, he carefully read the official documents sent by Chen Gong in the past eight months and gained a general understanding of the Guanzhong form.

Guanzhong has had good weather in the past eight months.

This autumn is another bumper year. From the Western Regions to Shuofang, the situation is very good under Dong Qi's rule.

With the various farming techniques developed by Dong Qi in the Western Regions, as a large number of oxen were distributed, the land in Guanzhong was further developed. At the same time, after improvement, the windmill technology and waterwheel technology, which had reached a bottleneck, were also applied. The abundant grain storage in Guanzhong could provide three years of food and salary for 500,000 troops.

It seems that Gu Yong did a good job!

In terms of internal affairs, Gu Yong is responsible for it, and his achievements are also outstanding.

Especially the population base of Guanzhong has increased by about 30%. When Dong Qi first entered Guanzhong, there were only more than four million left in Guanzhong, including Liangzhou and other places. Now, the local population of Sanfu has reached three million, and Liangzhou has increased to more than three million. If the Western Regions are included, Shuofang and Wangbei County have reached tens of millions.

This is undoubtedly a great achievement for Kanto, whose population base has been continuously lost since the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

Even according to the population of Emperor Huan, Guanzhong now accounts for one-fifth of the population.

With such a base, Dong Qi can quickly draw out a million troops to launch a large attack on Kanto.

Fifteen years have passed since the Yellow Turban.
