Three Kingdoms: I don’t want to fall in love in troubled times

Chapter 140
The further northwest you go, the more mountainous the terrain becomes.

The Huangshui River originating from the plateau seems to come from the sky, washing out large river valleys at the foot of the hills. The hills are also different from those bare mountains a thousand years later, green and blinding.

"This Jincheng County is different from what I imagined." Xu Jiashu couldn't help but sigh as if he had never seen the world before. "It's really beautiful."

"It's just Jincheng County." Dong Bai was infected by his emotions and joked: "Is it possible that you haven't traveled far since you were so old?"

She was even in the mood to think about something else - if she brought this guy who had never seen the world to Chang'an in the future, wouldn't it be a disgrace to her, Lord Weiyang?

so troublesome!
Thinking this, Dong Bai couldn't help but laugh softly.

In fact, leaving Chang'an is not a bad thing at all. At least the depression around me has disappeared. For the time being, I don't have to bear the title of Dong Zhuo's granddaughter. I can just roam around in this empty world without having to do anything. think.

Dong Bai had never ridden a horse during those days in Chang'an, but she originally liked riding horses.

Xu Jiashu didn't know why she was laughing. He just shook his head and replied seriously: "I have been to many far away places, but none of them are as beautiful as the scenery here."

"Don't speak so seriously all of a sudden."

Although he said he was disgusted, Dong Bai felt much better after hearing these words.

If she hadn't been accompanied by this guy on this trip, I'm afraid it would be difficult for her to laugh.

"Ke Muzhi, have you heard of my grandfather?" Dong Bai slowly considered the words, "What kind of person is he in the eyes of the Qiang people?"

"Master Dong."

Hearing this question, Xu Jiashu pondered for a moment.

From his original conversation with Jia Xu, he knew that after so many years of merging, the Qiang and Han people in Liangzhou no longer had any barriers between them. Instead, they had formed an identity as Liangzhou people, which was in opposition to the imperial court in the east. Except for the Qiang and Hu nobles who Dong Zhuo befriended, the generals who suppressed the Qiang rebellion should not be viewed favorably by other Liangzhou people.

"Some people think he is generous and a hero," he replied, "but in the eyes of most people, he is just a general sent by the Han court to kill people, and he is no different from other people."

The smile on Dong Bai's face slowly dimmed, and he lowered his head and refused to look at him, "Then I'm not a good person, right?"

Only when she really started trying to save her family did she realize what kind of mess they were in. Her grandfather relied on Liangzhou to suppress the rebellion, and Liangzhou people had the impression of him as an executioner; he took refuge in the Yuan family, and then the Yuan family was wiped out by him; if these He was working for the imperial court, so there was room for evasion, but the imperial court was also controlled by him, and he really offended everyone he could offend.

"Who said that?" Xu Jiashu was stunned for a moment. He didn't understand why Dong Bai's thoughts were jumping so fast. "I dare to say that you are not a good person. I don't need to do anything. The Ma family girl will have to fight with the person who said this, right?"

It's outrageous to say that although Ma Yunluo and Dong Bai have known each other for a short time, they like her extremely much, to the point where they want to hug her and sleep together. It's not an exaggeration to say that it was love at first sight.

"But everyone thinks so." Dong Bai still lowered his head, "Everyone in the world."

"What does that have to do with me?" Xu Jiashu stared at her in confusion, "I have eyes and ears myself, why should I care what others think?"

"really?"

Dong Bai raised his head in surprise, and met his gaze. He felt a little embarrassed for no reason, and quickly lowered his head.

"Ah."

Of course Xu Jiashu knew what kind of person Dong Bai was - a savage lolita with a dog, and a noblewoman in distress who went to Xiliang. She might even become the person behind the scenes of the Dong family together with Li Ru in the future.

After the girl who bowed her head was silent for a while, she took the initiative to start talking.

"I lived in my hometown in Longxi when I was a child," she pointed to the southwest. "There is a big river over there. My fiefdom is there, and the scenery is very beautiful! Also, my grandfather always brought me My favorite gift is a puppy named Rourou. It’s very cute. It’s a pity that you can’t see it, otherwise I would definitely like it!”

Uh, do you have any misunderstanding about the words puppy and cute?
Xu Jiashu complained secretly in his heart, but he nodded repeatedly and expressed his regret for not having the chance to see the cute puppy.
Along the way, Dong Bai shared her life experience, her childhood, and her troubles with Xu Jiashu bit by bit - otherwise who else could she talk to about this? She must act mature and courageous in front of Li Ru. I have to continue to act out my past self in front of my tribe, and only in front of this Qiang leader whom I have just met, can I vent it without any worries.

"." Xu Jiashu listened to her silently and asked, "So, you came to Liangzhou just to preserve your family?"

"Ok!"

Dong Bai nodded vigorously, "Everyone wants to see us die, but I won't let them succeed!"

Xu Jiashu sighed secretly - Girl, this is not something that can be done easily.

How can I say that the situation facing the Dong family is better than in history.

Historically, the whole family was killed in one fell swoop. Even before Dong Zhuo's body was cold, the whole family was on the road neatly, without even a splash of water being spilled.

Not to mention anything else, even Xu Jiashu himself couldn't remember how many times he had seen words like "Dong clan destroyed" in the simulation.

Although Dong Zhuo is dead now, the main part of the family has been completely preserved, and it has aroused a kind of desolation of mourning soldiers, but it has united a lot. With Li Ru at the center and taking the helm, it is not completely desperate.

But even so, this game is not that easy to turn over.

Xu Jiashu thought carefully.

To the east, although Lu Bu won Bingzhou, the fate of the other princes in the coalition did not change much. At most, Zhang Yang had a terrible neighbor.

If there are no more changes, apart from the Chang'an court, Dong's next opponent will most likely be Cao Cao, who defeated the Qingzhou Yellow Turban.

In other words, even if you successfully pass Wang Yun's test, there is still Cao Mengde, the hero of the world, waiting behind you.
That's Cao Cao!

Except for the slight lack of personal force, in terms of intelligence, military command, personal charm, and political skills, he is the top existence in all dimensions, and he is even a poet who stands at the top of this era.

In the evaluation of any Three Kingdoms figures, he cannot fall out of the top two!
It is doubtful whether Li Ru and Dong Bai alone, plus the remaining Xiliang soldiers and generals, can maintain this situation.

Moreover, it should not be said that when Xu Jiashu becomes full-fledged, he will also go to Guanzhong to snatch the emperor.

Thinking of this, Xu Jiashu's originally raised corners of his mouth quietly calmed down.

In the final analysis, he only chose to help Dong Baila because her reinforcements were in his own interests. The two of them would most likely be enemies in the future.

So Dong Bai's feeling was actually correct. She was surrounded by enemies from all directions, even this "Ke Mu Zhi" whom she fell in love with at first sight was no exception - even he was not just being nice to her without any purpose.

"Why did you suddenly stop talking?" Dong Bai pulled Xu Jiashu's sleeve, a little dissatisfied, "Do my words sound ridiculous?"

A sense of shame suddenly emerged in his heart.

I am a liar.

"No, this is a simple and beautiful wish." Xu Jiashu forced himself not to think too much, "I also hope you can save your tribe." Dong Bai smiled and nodded, "Yeah!"

Looking at her smile, Xu Jiashu decided not to think about things so far away.

The future is an ever-changing chaos, and even with a simulator, he can only get a glimpse of it.

Just let go of your worries and enjoy this moment.

After all, how many times in life can we have such an opportunity to follow our own desires and run wildly between heaven and earth, like a hero day by day?

The hills on both sides of the Huangshui River stretch endlessly, seemingly without end.

A few days later, the two arrived at Yuzhong County, the county seat of Jincheng County.

Han Sui was stationed here.

As a veteran among the rebels, Han Wenyue has a fierce reputation - especially in Guanzhong.

During the chaos between Bianzhang and the Kingdom, he successfully invaded Guanzhong several times, and even reached the land of Sanfu. Even the imperial mausoleums of the Western Han Dynasty were threatened because of this, which shocked the world.

But the strange thing is that despite entering Guanzhong several times, Han Sui never won the final victory.

The most ridiculous one is the Bianzhang Rebellion. Meteors fell from the sky at night, which frightened the rebels. They thought it was an ominous sign, so they planned to retreat to Jincheng County. The next day, they were pursued by Dong Zhuo and Bao Hong. Thousands of heads were thrown down and they retreated in embarrassment.

In other words, even though he had been jumping up and down for so many years to rebel, Han Sui had never won once!
This kind of clown-like experience greatly affected Han Sui, who originally had a promising future among the Han people and was at least an outstanding young man in Liangzhou - who said that the Han Dynasty lost its destiny?

Stand up and take a look. Isn’t the ancestral meteorite technique of the old Liu family still there?
A bunch of liars!
Perhaps for this reason, when Han Sui first saw Dong Zhuo's conditions, he readily agreed.

Here I have to mention the original plan: Han Sui was appointed as the general to suppress the west, Ma Teng was appointed as the general to conquer the west, and Dong Zhuo gave up Xi County to the two men to garrison, and together they resisted the coalition of princes in the east.

Frankly speaking, this is a very satisfactory plan for Han Wenyue, who has always wanted to get involved in Guanzhong in the first half of his life - firstly, he has the official position of four expeditions and four towns, and secondly, he has the right to enter Guanzhong in a legitimate way. What kind of bike do you want?

Moreover, the invitation was made by Dong Zhuo, the fierce man who had beaten him on the head several times.

In front of him, Han Sui did not dare to play tricks.

But now, after Dong Zhuo's death, Han Sui was not so enthusiastic about this plan.

Without Dong Zhongying, the price would be different.

For example, can we discuss that instead of being so stingy and giving only one Xi county, we should give him all of Guanzhong? After all, it has been quite hard to rebel for so many years.
In short, no matter what Han Sui thinks, one thing is certain.

That is to take advantage of the current precarious situation of the Dong family. Without cutting off a big piece of meat to feed Han Wenyue, he has no interest in going to Chang'an to help the crisis.

The moment he saw Han Wenyue, Xu Jiashu felt uncomfortable - it was an undisguised gaze that made him feel as if he was being stared at by some kind of poisonous snake.

Han Sui was using this method to put pressure on the opponent.

As a guard, Xu Jiashu was like this, but Dong Bai was under even greater pressure. She bit her lip and used the pain to force herself to calm down.

It can only be said that Han Sui is still good at playing with people's hearts, otherwise history would not have played with Ma Chao, a silly boy, to applause.

The negotiation officially began, and Xu Jiashu behind Dong Bai was pushed away.

He took a stroll at Han Sui's house, and unexpectedly met Yan Xing here.

"you again?"

Because of the rash attack last time, Yan Xing was demoted from a junior general to a guard. However, Han Sui did not give up on him completely. He just gave the strong general a little beating. Now here I see Xu Jiashu, who is beating gongs in nine out of ten places. He couldn't help but feel a little displeased with the guy.

"What?" Xu Jiashu was confident. Seeing him standing guard with a halberd, he mocked and said, "Have you not been punished enough by Hanwen?"

"you!"

Yan Xing was furious and wanted to kill the boy.

"You'd better save your time and save your strength to deal with Ma Chao. He misses you very much."

The matter was so important that Xu Jiashu didn't bother to stir up trouble - he still wants to fight me, can you beat me?

Damn you.

Not long after, Dong Bai came out of the main hall and met Xu Jiashu.

"Not bad!" Dong Bai looked very excited. "Han Wenyue seemed to be very interested. He also said that we would discuss it another day and let him think about it first."

Seeing her look, Xu Jiashu covered his forehead, feeling a little helpless - in a weak situation, how could negotiating terms with someone like Han Sui achieve any good results?
People like Han Wenyue don't believe in win-win cooperation, otherwise he wouldn't fall out with his sworn brother Ma Teng as soon as he says it. Once he notices his opponent's weakness, he will do everything he can to eat him up. .

"If my guess is correct," he sighed, "your bottom line should have been pushed out by the Korean date."

"." Dong Bai looked stunned, "You mean?"

"Well, it's what you think." Xu Jiashu nodded and said: "No matter what conditions you put forward, he will not listen. Instead, based on this, he will continue to ask for more, or in other words, swallow up all the benefits. Go down like a greedy wolf."

……

Hearing this, Dong Bai felt disheartened for a while - she still understood the difference between being difficult to talk and not intending to negotiate at all.

"What can I do?" she murmured, a little at a loss.

"It's not enough to just talk. To deal with this kind of person, you have to fight to make peace." Xu Jiashu seemed very calm at this time. "I wrote the letter to Ma Chao a long time ago and it should be on the way now."

In addition, Gan Ning's Jinfan thieves were estimated to be arriving soon. In the letter he wrote to Wushi County, he named Gan Ning as his target.

After all, Lu Lingqi and Dong Bai had a feud and it was difficult to meet each other, and calling for justice was risky, so Xu Jiashu simply told Gan Ning the strategy of harvesting autumn grain in the simulation and let him handle it.

Although Miss Lu couldn't come, the tactics were used.

This wave, this wave is a brilliant plan.
