Chapter 722 Completely subduing Zhao Yun
"A dragon can be big and small, and can rise and hide; if it is big, it will prosper and fog, and if it is small, it will hide its shape; if it is rising, it will fly between the universe, and lurk in the waves, changing according to the times..."
Dong Hu said the changes of the dragon and pointed to the tea in front of Zhao Yun.
"Drink tea while it's hot, and when it's cold, it will lose the aroma of the tea."
"promise."
Zhao Yun picked up the tea and drank it in one gulp, seeing him like this, Dong Hu smiled again.
"hehe……"
"There are many people who can do these things, but they cannot become the true dragon of the Nine Heavens. The reason is that... there is no ambition to ascend the universe and no ambition to the world."
"In our opinion, Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Tao Qian and others have no ambitions for the world. They don't understand what the word "world" means."
"The world is not the land of the world, nor is it a wealthy family, but the 50 million ordinary people in the world. If a prince does not care about the people, they will never become the true dragon of the Nine Heavens, and will never become the common ruler of the 50 million people..."
"Even if the Han court is the same."
Dong Hu smiled and said, "Cao Mengde has this qualification. From what he did, we can see that the law of heaven is ruthless, which will damage the excess and make up for the shortcomings. The people are poor and have no place to stand. It is necessary to suppress the rich and powerful families. Only in this way can the people be given more life. Although we release news and accused him of plundering the rich families, we recognize what he did in our hearts, and we have been doing such things, but we just use the hands of others to do these bad things."
Zhao Yun felt speechless, and Dong Hu just smiled.
"Some things can only be destroyed by war. Only when the people's family has thirty acres of land and a cow, and the wives and children are warming up, can the world usher in a prosperous era, and only the princes who care about the people's food, clothing, housing and transportation will have the appearance of emperors."
"Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Gongsun Zan and others just need to look at what they did after obtaining a large amount of land, and you can clearly see that they have no appearance as an emperor."
Dong Hu smiled again, "Although Liu Bei was a royal family member of Liu, his family was poor. Like Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, they knew the sufferings of the people and could treat the lower class well. However, if they wanted to go to the nine heavens, they had to accept the baptism of various heavenly tribulations. If they could not gain the world on the battlefield, they would not be able to become the common ruler of the world."
Dong Hu stood up and tinkered with tea and said, "Although the world is in chaos, the victory or defeat has been decided. Qingzhou, Yanzhou, and the Sili School Commander were like a sharp blade, cutting the Central Plains into two sections with one knife. Jizhou and Youzhou in Hebei are surrounded by our army. If we are willing, it will only take two years to seize the two prefectures in Hebei."
"There are only Pei State, Chen State, Runan County, Liu Yao served as the governor of Yuzhou, and Zhu Yan served as the general of Wei. One is a member of the royal family, and the other is a famous old minister and general. Such a person has only 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers, of which 15,000 soldiers were raised by our food. Lu Bu, Liu Bei, and Sun Ce's eight thousand soldiers were all paid for food and supported by others. In this way, how can they be our opponent?"
"Oh by the way, the court wanted Cao Mengde to be the prefect of Lujiang County. It was probably because it wanted Cao Mengde to restrain Yuan Highway, which occupied Runan County and Jiujiang County..."
Speaking of this, Dong Hu couldn't help but laugh.
"No matter how the court plots, such actions will definitely anger Yuan Highway. Yuan Highway will inevitably become a hidden worry behind Zhu Jun. Within three or two years, Yuzhou will inevitably fall into our hands."
"If we take Yuzhou, Yanzhou, and Qingzhou, we can launch an attack from the north and west against the narrow Xuzhou, and erode from north to south, and cut off Xuzhou with one knife from the west and swallow it in segments. It will be a matter of time before and after this, Liang, You, Ji, Qing, Yan, Yu, Xu, and Sili School Commander Divisions all fell into our hands, and the world was divided into two."
Zhao Yun looked shocked, but Dong Hu just smiled.
"Cao Cao, Sun Ce, Yuan Shu, Liu Bei, and the Xiangyang court can only fight with us by relying on the Yangtze River and Sichuan Mountains. If we want to finally decide the outcome, it may take 10 or 20 years..."
"Zilong."
Dong Hu's expression became solemn.
"We don't want to deceive you. Although we tell you that Liu Bei is like an emperor, according to the current situation, he may not even have a chance."
"If you live in Jingzhou, it is impossible for the court to make him a powerful minister or an important minister. The court can make him a state governor and will never let him occupy a high position in the temple. If you cannot occupy a high position, such as becoming a prime minister and a grand sect above ten thousand people, how can you unite the whole country and the other party to revive the Han Dynasty?"
"There is Liu Yan in Yizhou. If Liu Yan dies, his son will inherit the position of governor of the state. There are Yuan Shu and Cao Cao in Yangzhou. The only chance for Liu Bei is to enter Jiaozhou with the prestige of the court and serve as governor of Jiaozhou. However, there are many mountains in Jiaozhou and are located in the southernmost part of the empire. It is almost a dream to fight for dominance of the world. Therefore... Although Liu Bei and Liu Xuande are the emperor, it will be a waste of time."
Dong Hu sighed.
"Han Room..."
"There is no possibility of ZTE,"
Dong Hu sighed, but he knew in his heart that he had not only dug a big pit for Cao Cao, but also lied to Liu Bei. Just as he deliberately sent the court to Jingzhou, when Liu Bian ran to Hedong County, although he said that he gave the court complete autonomy and was not a puppet controlled by Cao Cao, he also cut off the possibility of Liu Bei becoming a powerful minister.
Liu Biao was the governor of Jingzhou, and the court ran to his territory. In a short period of time, it was normal for Liu Biao to become a powerful minister in the court. The battle with the same surname was extremely fierce. If one Liu Biao was a powerful minister in the court, how could he be willing to threaten his status with another powerful minister in the surname Liu? Even if Liu Biao died of illness and had experienced Liu Biao's threat to Liu Xie's throne, he would never allow Liu Bei to become the second powerful minister in the surname Liu.
There was an imperial court above his head. Liu Bei wanted to occupy Jingzhou, but he didn't think about it. Liu Yan, the governor of Yizhou, was a short-lived ghost. A few days ago, Xu Huang, the prefect of Hanzhong County, sent news that it was Liu Yan who had a poisonous sore, which seemed to be very serious, but this was not important. What was important was whether Liu Yan's heir was still Liu Zhang from Yizhou?
Liu Yan's eldest son Liu Fan and second son Liu Dan are still alive, and they were sent to Yizhou by Dong Hu. In this way, would Liu Yan's heir still be the cowardly Liu Zhang? If it weren't for Liu Zhang, how could Liu Bei enter Yizhou?
Dong Hu asked Xu Huang and his two adopted sons to station in Hanzhong County. For several years, he only trained troops to win over Banyan Man and did not take the initiative to attack Shu County. In other words, Dong Hu did not take the initiative to threaten the safety of Shu County. Even if Liu Zhang won and became the governor of Yizhou, there was no existential threat in the north of Shu County. What reason did he have to actively invite Liu Bei to Sichuan?
Dong Hu was bad enough that he not only plotted against Cao Cao, but also Liu Bei. When Cao Cao ran to Wujun, he accidentally plotted against Sun Ce and Sun Quan brothers...
But it is impossible for outsiders to know that "Cao Wei, Eastern Wu, and Shu Han" are divided into three parts. Only Dong Hu himself can know all this.
Seeing Zhao Yun's expression a little disappointed, Dong Hu knew in his heart that a general like Zhao Yun could not be strong. He knew that even if he forced him to bow his head and surrender, he would at most be the same as Jia Xu under Dong Zhuo. Although he was diligent in doing things, he would not really return home and would try to leave when he encountered an opportunity.
I saw him for a long time without saying a word...
"We know that most of you are dissatisfied with Gongsun Zan, and you cannot leave because of the loyalty of your ministers. But now we are your lord. After Gongsun Zan became the governor of Youzhou, he will definitely expand his troops and will definitely let you take out more money and grain. It will no longer make much sense for you to stay in Bohai County."
"Let's give you a chance. Chenliu County lacks a fifth-rank general, which is close to Liu Bei and Liu Xuande. If you think he can dominate, we won't stop you from leaving."
As he said that, Dong Hu stood up, and Zhao Yun also stood up.
"We have said that you are free here because we think you are a real Han soldier and are loyal to the Han Empire rather than anyone else. So no matter what decision you make, we will not blame you."
"We just hope you can understand that since Emperor Guangwu, the situation in the Han Empire has gradually declined and the people have become more and more unwilling to cover their stomachs. You should understand that the Eastern Han Dynasty, which has not been able to keep people warm and full of clothes and food, and those who have not been able to farm can have their own land."
"What's the point if it's been like this for two hundred years?"
"You think about it. If you are willing to go to Chenliu County, you can return with us in a few days."
Zhao Yun was silent for a few breaths, but finally lowered his body and held his fists.
"promise!"
Dong Hu patted his shoulders and held Dong Bai's small hand with one hand.
"Let's go and have lunch with us."
...
Zhao Yun is different from the young white horse in his impression. He is a strong man of eight feet tall. Perhaps like his martial arts all year round, his figure is the same as Dian Wei who hunts all year round, and his muscles are very solid. Dong Hu is born fat and big, similar to the tiger slut Xu Chu and Wu'anguo. If he is not careful, he will develop like Dong Zhuo.
Zhao Yun has the typical square face of the northerner, and looks strong and majestic. Dong Hu has the Plateau Qiang bloodline, broad chest and shoulders, natural curly hair and beard, which makes people know that they are strong and brave at first sight.
Dong Hu knew that Zhao Yun was very skilled in martial arts and had his interest. The two rode their horses to the open space in the backyard to compete. Dong Hu learned martial arts from Lintao since he was a child. He learned a lot, and was far less than Zhao Yun's specializing in shooting skills. However, he had strong arms and could use two iron spears. The two fought back and forth for dozens of rounds but failed to decide the outcome. Their fight also attracted the attention of Dong Chong, Dong Ju, Dong Fang, Sun Niu and others, and they all ran over to watch the battle...
"I thought my elder brother exaggerated Zilong's ability too much. It turned out that Zilong was so powerful that he had fought with my elder brother for so long..."
Dong Chong looked solemn, and the others nodded silently. They were all generals, and they could see the danger of fighting between the two. If they were ordinary people, they would have been stabbed to death by their elder brother's two iron spears.
"Strange, Zilong has such ability, why have we never heard of it?" Sun Niu was a little puzzled.
Dong Fu smiled and said, "There are so many people we have never heard of, such as Qu Yi. Have we heard of it in the past?"
Sun Niu couldn't help but nodded, and said with some regret: "That Qu Yi can defeat Gongsun Zan with 800 stairs and three thousand white horses Yi Cong, it should not be underestimated. It is indeed a pity to die at Yuan Shao's hands."
Xu Chu was stunned and frowned and said, "Yuan Benchu killed Qu Yi? How could such a mighty general be killed?"
"Why can't I be killed? Qu Yi was originally a general under Han Fu, but later rebelled and surrendered to Yuan Shao, but he didn't think about it. If he could rebel against Han Fu today, could he not rebel against Yuan Shao tomorrow?"
