Chapter 707: Holding the Emperor hostage to order the princes
Looking at the arrogant Dong Zhuo, Li Ru didn't know what to say for a moment, while Jia Xu's eyes showed a thoughtful look.
Regardless of how many there were, Dong Zhuo waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Such divine objects must not be owned by other princes. I shall take possession of them alone."
In Dong Zhuo's mind, after he captured Guanzhong, Bingzhou Qin Wen and Nanyang Qin Hao would become his next target.
As long as Nanyang and Bingzhou are captured, not to mention these new crops, even paper, glass and other manufacturing technologies will also fall into his hands. So how can Dong Zhuo allow other princes to share his food.
Seeing this, Jia Xu thought for a moment and then said: "My lord has a plan, which may allow my lord to possess such magical objects alone."
When Dong Zhuo heard this, he was overjoyed and said quickly: "Come here quickly, military advisor."
A glint flashed in Jia Xu's eyes, and he said with a smile: "My lord, haven't you already made a big plan to lead the army into the court after His Majesty's death, and hold the Emperor hostage to order the princes?"
Taking advantage of the emperor to control the princes was Dong Zhuo's plan before he entered the court.
Today's Guanzhong has long been Dong Zhuo's target. Dong Zhuo has surrounded Yongzhou from three directions: Liangzhou, Sizhou, and Hanzhong, and the time to take it is after Liu Hong's death.
At that time, regardless of whether there is an edict or not, Dong Zhuo will lead the army into the dynasty, occupy the three counties of Yongzhou, and control the emperor in his hands. He will rely on the emperor to take advantage of the princes, eyeing Guandong and gradually unifying the world.
When Dong Zhuo first proposed this big plan, both Li Ru and Jia Xu were shocked. No one could have imagined that Dong Zhuo, who seemed to be rough and crazy, would come up with such a huge plan.
Immediately, the two think-tanks, Li Ru and Jia Xu, sensed something was wrong. Soon they also discovered something, that is, Dong Zhuo had an unusual relationship with the miscellaneous family of hundreds of families.
This is very obvious. The person who planned for Dong Zhuo after his death must be a member of the Za family. Dong Zhuo himself may even be a member of the Za family.
The two people who reached this conclusion knew that they were about to encounter Dong Zhuo's minefield, so they did not dare to continue the investigation and acted as their own advisers honestly.
After hearing Jia Xu's words, Dong Zhuo had a flash of doubt in his eyes and asked, "Is there a relationship between the two?"
"Of course it does."
Jia Xu's eyes were full of wisdom and he said calmly: "After the lord takes control of the court, he can order Qin Hao to enter the court in the name of the emperor. At that time, whether Qin Hao does or not, it will be under the lord's control. It’s within your control.”
Li Ru shook his head and said: "Qin Hao is a hero of the world. Even if he is loyal to the Han Dynasty, he will never leave Nanyang to die just because of an edict."
Dong Zhuo nodded in agreement upon hearing this. He didn't even think that Qin Hao was loyal to the Han Dynasty. How could such a person not see through such a superficial plan?
Jia Xu smiled calmly and said: "It's good for Qin Hao to come, and it saves the lord a lot of tricks. It doesn't matter if he doesn't come. The lord can use the excuse that Qin Hao doesn't respect the imperial edict to attack Nanyang with all his troops."
Dong Zhuo's brows furrowed even more when he heard this: "Since Qin Hao's debut, he has not lost a single battle, and he mostly wins with a small number and a weak enemy. Will there be too many casualties in a direct attack?"
Qin Hao's record of winning every battle really made Dong Zhuo fearful. Dong Zhuo had also served under Qin Hao, so he knew the horror of Qin Hao's use of troops. Although he was extremely confident in the combat power of the Liangzhou army, he Unless they have no choice but to do so, they are still unwilling to directly fight each other.
"My lord, Nanyang is the place of the Four Battles and there is no danger to defend it. However, our army can attack from two directions, Sizhou and Hanzhong. After taking Guanzhong, we can also attack from Wuguan to Tiantian. When the time comes, The three armies are advancing together, and even Qin Hao, the Great Luo Immortal, cannot defend Nanyang."
Dong Zhuo's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this. He was only afraid of Qin Hao's strength in using troops, but he ignored the situation Qin Hao was facing now.
Nanyang is a place of four battles, and there is no danger to defend it. Even if Qin Hao is very resourceful, it will only be a competition between military strength. However, even if the land of Nanyang is rich, the soldiers and horses it supports are How could it be compared to Dong Zhuo's army in the three states?
"Okay, okay, okay, what the military advisor said is true. How can the vast plains of Nanyang stop my Xiliang cavalry? By then, the whole of Nanyang will definitely be in my hands." Dong Zhuo said with a hearty laugh. "
Li Ru also laughed, and then spoke again: "My lord, the imperial edict may not attract Qin Hao, but what about that old man Ding Yuan?"
Dong Zhuo's eyes lit up: "Xianxiang, what do you mean?"
"Ding Yuan is a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty. He will definitely join the court after the imperial decree. When the Lord seizes his military power, he can send another confidant to serve as the shepherd of Jingzhou. At that time, Nanyang will be attacked from all sides. Qin How can Hao resist?"
Dong Zhuo couldn't help but take a breath, and then laughed even more wildly. He had even seen the scene of Qin Hao being captured alive in the future.
"Send the order and keep a close eye on Chang'an's movements. Any disturbance must be reported. I will always keep abreast of any information on Chang'an."
Dong Zhuo ordered extremely domineeringly, while Jia Xu on the side saw this and his face was as dark as water, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
——————
Although Qin Hao protects new crops very closely, he also knows that it is impossible to keep them completely secret. After all, once crops are planted, it will only be exposed sooner or later.
All Qin Hao could do was to delay this time so that he could store as much food as possible to prepare for the future war between princes.
Even if other princes get the seeds of new crops, they cannot fully plant them without two or three years of cultivation, and these two or three years are the best time for Qin Hao to expand.
Qin Hao had already considered everything, but he ignored a crucial point, that is, the benefits brought by the new crops were so great that they exceeded the sum of all technologies such as paper, so much so that even Dong Zhuo was embarrassed. I can't help but want to devour it all to myself.
Nanyang already has too many good things. These things are not only the foundation of Qin Hao's fortune, but they will also bring him countless covetous things.
Now, a huge storm is about to blow towards Nanyang, but Qin Hao is not aware of it at all. Now he is enjoying the rare leisure time reunited with Zhang Sheng.
"Ding dong, the host successfully prevented the 'Eight Major Factions from Siege of Bright Summit', and will be rewarded with any attribute points awarded by the free attribute system.
