Chapter 121 The Disaster of Xiao Qiang?

"Although Cai Yong is a famous Confucian in the gentry, marrying him can gain some fame, and it will also help the young master's foundation in the future. But at this time, that time has not yet come."

Ma Chao listened quietly to Jia Xu's explanation, and also knew that Jia Xu had long known the power and influence of the gentry in the late Han Dynasty.But when he says this now, does he mean that the Ma family's power is too weak, and it's not time to consider these things?

Now under the management of Ma Chao in Xiliang, the Ma family currently has three counties, Fufeng, Xinping, and Beidi, and they have good relations with the Eastern Qiang tribe.But Jia Xu actually said that the Ma family hadn't reached that time at all, obviously thinking that the Ma family's power was not enough to enter the vision of the gentry.

"Han Sui's daughter, although she is not a gentry, Han Sui is the leader of the Iron Qiang Alliance. Liangzhou is also looking forward to Han Sui's leadership. If the young master can marry Han Sui's daughter and marry Han Sui, then in the shortest possible time , take control of the two prefectures of Yongliang and Liangzhou, and have the capital to fight for world hegemony since then!"

When Jia Xu said these words calmly, there was inevitably some ups and downs in his heart.Not only picked up the teacup, but also took a sip of tea.

"Why, why do you want someone to control Yongliang and Liangzhou in the shortest possible time?" Ma Chao's heart trembled, and he seemed to understand Jia Xu's intention vaguely.

"Because, in the near future, Chang'an will be in chaos, and if the Ma family has no power to protect themselves, they will become sad victims!" Jia Xu took another sip of tea, calmed down, and then gradually said: "Dong Zhuo's frontier warrior It is really ridiculous to try to control the entire imperial court with the will of a warrior. In the early stage, cooperation with scholars was still a powerful force. But now Dong Zhuo is short-sighted and has lost his will to dominate the world. It will not be too late for him to perish .”

Ma Chao looked shocked: Sure enough, Jia Xu had seen through the end of Dong Zhuo's demise, so he desperately hoped that the Ma family would have the strength to counter Dong Zhuo's men of tigers and wolves.

This old fox is too simple.

It was only because I foresaw the historical trend that I learned that Dong Zhuohui was tricked by Wang Yun to go to the palace to receive Zen in one day two years later, and then let the "sugar daddy killer" Lu Bu draw a halberd to Fangtian to end his life.But Jia Xu expected Dong Zhuo's death and power only from the change of Dong Zhuo's mentality, which is really unimaginable.

In order to test whether Jia Xu was really cunning, Ma Chao deliberately asked: "The alliance to challenge Dong Zhuo has been disbanded, and the Kanto princes are fighting each other. Sun Jian, the only famous general to challenge Dong Zhuo, also attacked Yuzhou with Yuan Shu, and there is no intention to attack Dong Zhuo. Come on, Dong Zhuo should sit back and relax, how can he talk about perishing?"

Jia Xu fixedly looked at Ma Chao, with an inexplicable meaning in his eyes, which made Ma Chao feel a little worried, and finally spread his hands helplessly and said, "Well, I also think Dong Zhuo is like a grasshopper after autumn, but But I don’t know why Mr. Jia concluded that Dong Zhuo must die?”

"Hmph, how can the disaster of Xiaoqiang be like a breakwater?" Jia Xu looked away, but he still looked a little unwilling. After seeing that Ma Chao didn't explain at all, he continued: "The fire of Luoyang not only burned the gentry The last hope also burned Dong Zhuo's life!"

Ma Chao knew that what Jia Xu said was an atrocity committed by Dong Zhuo when he moved his capital a few days ago, before Sun Jian fell.

According to historical records, the situation of Dong Zhuo moving his capital to Chang'an and burning Luoyang is as follows: driving westward, Dong Zhuo took over the wealthy families, punished them for their crimes, and confiscated their belongings. Frowning, and borrowing from each other, hunger and looting, corpses piled up on the road.In Zhuo Ziliu's Tun Bigui Garden, all palaces, temples, government offices, and homes were burned down. Within [-] miles, all the houses were destroyed, and there were no chickens or dogs.He also asked Lu Bu to distribute the tombs of the emperors and the tombs below the princes, and collect their treasures.

Burn Luoyang and turn Luoyang into ruins.For Dong Zhuo, it may be that Dong Zhuo felt that he would rather not be able to defend Luoyang than leave it to the Kwantung heroes, but judging from the strength of the Kwantung heroes, they couldn't beat Dong Zhuo, so naturally they couldn't capture Luoyang.In doing so, Dong Zhuo was charged with cruelty and did him no good.

Moreover, after the eunuchs were executed, most of the "rich houses" in Luoyang, the capital, should be homes of scholars. Dong Zhuo's execution of the "rich houses" was actually a fundamental blow to the power of scholars in the court; The people of Luoyang were in Chang'an, which completely cut off the foundation of the rebellion by the scholars in the court; this was one of Dong Zhuo's revenge measures against the scholars.

However, Dong Zhuo's actions were not enough to show his attitude of breaking with the scholar group. He also killed Yuan Shao's uncle Tai Fu Yuan Kai, Tai Fu Yuan Ji and their families in retaliation for Yuan Shao's crusade.

In this way, all Dong Zhuo's efforts in the early stage were all in vain.The original trend of tribalization of warriors suddenly turned into the practice of Qiang Huhua of warriors, which made the gentry hate Dong Zhuo to the bone.

After a person is deceived, it is easy to go in the opposite direction, especially for Dong Zhuo, who has been influenced by the idea of ​​"the weak eat the strong" at the border for a long time.His change was because he realized that he had been fooled by the scholars, and those scholars regarded his own thoughts as the heart of a wolf!

As a local warrior, Dong Zhuo was good at government affairs, which was unprecedented in the history of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Dong Zhuo also walked on thin ice in the early stage. Although he had a strong army, he still courted the scholars in every possible way. Measures such as taking people as important ministers of the court are all manifestations of compromise with scholars.

But the scholars did not buy his account at all. They could not accept the reality of the military dictatorship, so they launched a series of struggles against Dong Zhuo's military dictatorship.

Later, Dong Zhuo found out that he had been deceived, so he decided to destroy the foundation of the court scholars opposing him, and at the same time retaliated against the court scholars colluding with foreign soldiers to oppose his rule.What he has done is not so much cruelty and mental retardation as incompetence and short-sightedness.

The reason why scholars are stronger than warriors does not mean that the power of scholars is stronger than that of warriors.It is because scholars have firm political ideas and the determination to continue to fight for them.Intrinsically speaking, scholars have continuous integrity and ideas; externally speaking, scholars have intertwined relationships and gradually mastered armed forces.

And Dong Zhuo's downfall obviously did not die from the armed uprising.And Jia Xu's judgment of Xiaoqiang's disaster means that Dong Zhuo may die due to the conspiracy of scholars inside the Chang'an court.

Dong Zhuo eliminated all the political ideas of the scholars. This approach not only failed to stop the scholars from retaliating against Dong Zhuo, but fell into more intense conflicts.However, this contradiction is hidden under the calm.

Thinking so far, Ma Chao has fully understood Jia Xu's meaning.Based on his own analysis and speculation, Jia Xu arranged the future direction for Ma Chao.He even used Ma Chao's marriage as the fastest way to develop...

"Old fox, fortunately you are not my enemy. If so, I will definitely die at your hands." Ma Chao sighed, completely convinced of Jia Xu's talent: "However, even so, there is no need Marry Han Ying? As you know, Han Sui and the Ma family are now life and death enemies."

"Enemy of life and death? Hmph, everything in the world should be 'benefit' first, Han Sui is such a scheming person, how can he still be an enemy of the Ma family at this time?" Jia Xu squinted his eyes, even a little funny Said: "If a certain guess is right, Han Sui may have prepared a dowry when he comes this time!"

"No way? Han Suineng would do this?" Ma Chao was very upset, but at the same time he also knew that the words from Jia Xu's mouth were much more accurate than the weather forecast from CCTV...
