When Dong Zhuo learned that Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shu and Cai Mao in Nanyang County, he felt very uncomfortable.

After all, Dong Zhuo has a good opinion of Cao Cao.

As the adopted grandson of Cao Teng, Cao Cao has always had the four-character label "Follower of the Eunuch".

After Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, he attached great importance to Cao Cao and regarded him as one of the main targets of his win-win.

In Dong Zhuo's opinion, since Cao Cao was a eunuch, he should not be able to enter the eyes of those famous scholars in terms of identity. Such a person should be difficult for him to integrate into the camp of the Qingliu gentry. If Dong Zhuo promised to be a high-ranking official and generous salary, Cao Cao, one of the eight lieutenants of the West Garden, should become his right-hand man.

After all, the Xiyuan Captain, who was directly under the jurisdiction of Emperor Liu Hong and led by the Yuan Group, was a huge force in Luoyang City that could be equal to the General He Jin. Its importance in Luoyang's military was not inferior to the North and South Army at all.

However, Dong Zhuo was a military man from the border county from Xiliang after all, and sometimes he was really one-sided when looking at things.

It is true that Cao Cao was the descendant of the eunuch, but as far as the actual situation at that time, the label of "the descendant of the eunuch" did not have a great impact on his identity and position.

The reputation and status of the Cao family in Qiao County are actually absolutely unsaid.

Cao Cao's adopted grandfather Cao Teng was an eunuch who served six kings, but at the same time, his uncle Cao Bao was the magistrate of Yingchuan County with a total of 2,000 stones. His father Cao Song served as the magistrate of the Sili School, the Grand Chief, the Grand Chief, and the Grand Chief. He was appointed as the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the

Among the three generations of the Cao family, the 2,000 stones were produced in a very large number! They were the authentic gentry and the family of Qiao County.

In a family like the Cao family, the small label of "behind eunuchs" has no important impact on Cao Cao's identity.

Just by the famous scholar Xu Shao's comment on Cao Cao's "A traitor in peace and a hero in troubled times", it shows that in the famous scholar group, Cao Cao's identity was completely accepted and recognized by them.

Although the reason why Emperor Wu of Wei was able to unify China was due to his talent Wei Lue, the fundamental reason why he was able to compete for the world was that Cao Cao was a clan with a strong family, with rich political resources and connections among the gentry.

Of course, Cao Cao's family background is not as good as Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, but compared with most of the princes, Lu Bu, Liu Bei, Sun Quan, Ma Teng, Gongsun Zan, Tao Qian, Zhang Xiu and others are far inferior to Cao Cao.

Even Liu Biao was at most accustomed to the name of the Party and the Lieutenant. Regarding the political resources that the clan could provide him, Cao Cao was several streets ahead of Liu Biao.

Just imagine that Yuan Shao is not stupid. When choosing friends, he will naturally choose those who are about the same level as himself.

Moreover, the reputation of "behind the eunuch" was not a bad thing for Cao Cao.

The Xun family in Yingchuan is a famous family in the Central Plains. After Xun Yu left Yuan Shao in history, he chose Cao Cao because he saw that among the separatist forces, the only one who only talked about the family political background was under the two Yuans. The other was because Cao Cao, like Xun Yu, had a close relationship with the "eunuch group".

Cao Cao's grandfather Cao Teng was a great eunuch who served the six kings... and Xun Yu's father-in-law was Tang Heng, an eunuch during the Liu Hong period, and was famous for his greed and violent behavior.

Cao Cao and Xun Yu, who were both closely related to eunuchs, got together and since then they both felt sick and loved each other.

From this point of view, when the heroes were in power, Cao Cao's political resources and background were actually very dominant among the princes, not as the later generations said that "the start is very difficult."

Among the heroes, Yuan Shao was the only one who had higher political resources than Cao Cao, while Liu Yan and Liu Yu were overwhelming Cao Cao because of their huge reputation as a celebrity... The rest were rubbish in Cao Cao's eyes.

Just imagine, how could Cao Cao, who came from such a family, respond to Dong Zhuo's recruitment?

He didn't even say hello and ran out of Luoyang to Chenliu to find Zhang Miao to organize the righteous army.

Dong Zhuo is a revengeful person, and Cao Cao's behavior is like squeezing him with a loud ear.

This son is as hateful as Yuan Shao!

Dong Zhuo always remembers Cao Cao's arrogance and never forgets it.

Now that I heard that Cao Cao had gradually become the most powerful county magistrate in the heart of the Central Plains from the beginning to rely on Zhang Miao without a standing place, Dong Zhuo's anger began to jump up to his forehead.

"Even Cao Aman has begun to rise, is that so great?"

Dong Zhuo's face was as cold as frost, his teeth creaked and rubbed violently when he spoke.

Li Jue bowed and said, "Since the prime minister surrendered to Chang'an, our soldiers guarded all the important roads in Guanzhong and did not compete with the heroes of the Central Plains. His subordinates recently recruited soldiers in the three counties of Longxi, Tianshui and Anding, and added 40,000 troops. Among them, there were many Qiang troops who fought on the border all year round. It was the time to train troops... His subordinates asked for orders and led an army west to Yiguan, attacked Nanyang County along Danshui, first defeated Cao Cao, then defeated Yuan Shu, and searched for prison in Nanyang County to increase military supplies for the prime minister. I wonder what the Prime Minister wanted?"

Li Jue's advice is indeed very necessary for the current Xiliang army.

Build a furnace, recruit soldiers and generals, renovate palaces in Chang'an, and re-establish official offices at all levels... everything requires money!

Nowadays, Dong Zhuo's money is not that abundant, which is quite different from his situation in history.

In history, Dong Zhuo moved all the wealthy families, the people, and the refugees of Guizhou in Luoyang. During the migration process, he also embezzled countless assets of the royal family, official offices, wealthy families and the people for their own use.

Now, because of the establishment of the Alliance of Guardians, the gentry group of Henan Yin launched a strong political counterattack against Dong Zhuo, retaining the independence of the Luoyang court and establishing two dynasties. Luoyang continued to become the political center because of the Crown Prince's proposal, which was enough to gather the power of the clan and the heroes of Kanto to merge, which made Dong Zhuo not dare to force all the people into the pass at that time.

Based on this, Dong Zhuo's current money, goods and supplies in Chang'an are much less than in history.

If there is not enough money, you have to send troops out to "search for prison" now.

In the past six months, the county town and rural pavilions near Jingzhaoyin have been almost searched by Dong Zhuo. The people of Guanzhong live in dire straits every day. When they see the Xiliang army entering the village, the gangsters were so scared that they were all invisible and went into the cellar.

Over time, the "Sezhuo" in Guanzhong with Chang'an as the center can no longer meet Dong Zhuo's needs.

Turning his eyes to Nanyang County is also considered as Dong Zhuo.

However, before he asked for an order, Dong Zhuo had already made arrangements...

"Zhiran is willing to share my worries. I am very pleased. However, yesterday, the Niu stationed troops in Mianchi and Luoning. Zhang and the other two had sent someone to send a letter of war, saying that the two Yuans in the south and the Hujun alliance were attacking each other. They wanted to raise their troops from their headquarters and go south to the Funiu Mountains and enter Nanyang to search the prison. I have already agreed to them, so you don't need to run around."

"ah?"

Li Jue was stunned when he heard this.

He did not expect that Zhang Ji and Niu Fu, who were stationing troops in Mianchi and Luoning, would actually volunteer to Dong Zhuoying before him.

The reaction between the two of them was faster than that of themselves?

Li Ru next to him turned pale when he heard this.

But Dong Zhuo said slowly: "Niu Fu and Zhang Ji are stationed in the place where the troops are now stationed, and they are closer to the Jingzhou Governor's headquarters. This will save a lot of time. The soldiers and generals you just recruited in the three counties of Longxi are still new. It is not advisable to go lightly. We will practice for a while and wait for the future to fight! The next day, you selected two capable generals from the lieutenants and led their troops to Mianchi and Luoning to replace Niu. The place where Zhang and Zhang guarded, so they can be safe without worries."

"Yi!" Li Jue could only accept the order.

Li Ru listened next to him and felt something was wrong in his heart.

Niu Fu and Zhang Ji were ordered to stay in Mianchi and Luo Ning, but Li Ru advised Dong Zhuo according to Jia Xu's plan, in order to let them both stop Henan Yin from going to Jingzhao Yin there.

With Li Ru's recommendation, Jia Xu also followed Niu Fu to guard the outside world.

This is awesome, why did you suddenly lead your troops south?

A bad feeling faintly arose in Li Ru's heart.

Could it be that Jia Wen and the old thief have different ambitions? They want to escape from the control of the prime minister?

Thinking of this, Li Ru's expression turned right and hurriedly said, "The Prime Minister, Jia Wenhe, the captain under Niu Zhonglang, is probably..."

Dong Zhuo suddenly smiled and said, "By the way, Niu and Zhang recently mentioned Jia Wenhe in their letters to me. They have made many suggestions in Mianchi and made many contributions... King Chen and Liu Chong were not honest in Luoyang. They sent people to test them several times and wanted to go to Jingzhao to do something wrong, but Jia Wenhe saw through... Haha! This person was recommended by Wenyou to follow the army at the time, but now he has made many contributions, but Wenyou has made contributions to identifying people. I have to thank you."

After Dong Zhuo said this, Li Ru did not dare to say more.

Yes, it was his own idea to let Zhang Ji and Niu Fu guard Mianchi and Luo Ning.

It was also his own idea to let Jia Xu follow Niu Fu in there...

If he advised Dong Zhuo that Jia Xu had a different ambition to go south this time... Then the prime minister asked: Since you know that he had a different ambition, why did you still want him to go to the army to stay abroad?

Then how should I answer?

But these words are rotten in your stomach and you must not say them!

Although Dong Zhuo looks like a smiling elder now, he kills people like numb and regards the lives of others as if they are grass. Li Ru always remembers them in his heart.

"Wenyou, what are you going to say just now?"

Li Ru's mouth twitched slightly and said, "When Jia Xu returns to the prime minister, he is old, and his subordinates see that his body is not very good. If he is afraid of losing his followers, he might as well return him to Chang'an..."

"Oh!" Dong Zhuo said disrespectfully: "How can a person in his forties be called an old man? I am over 60 years old and can still cross a horse and hold a whip and fight on the battlefield!"

Li Ru sighed: "How can Jia Wenhe be comparable to the prime minister?"

Dong Zhuo laughed and said, "After that being said, Zhang Ji and Niu Fu also need help from others. After all, Nanyang County is no match for the side. Yuan Shu and Cao Cao are both heroes and quite wise."

"No." Li Ru saw that Dong Zhuo was decisive and said something, it was inconvenient for him to say more.

He began to ponder:

Could it be that since the last conversation started, Jia Wenhe has already calculated that it is today, so he deliberately offered a plan and asked someone to personally advise the Prime Minister to place him in another place in case Li repents later?

If this is true... this guy's scheming is too deep!

Li Ru sighed in his heart that he had been calculating others for the rest of his life, but he would never have been exploited by others.
