Chapter 252 Questions
"Boyang, come on, come with me quickly. Sir, he is waiting for you inside, so don't let Sir wait for a long time."
"good."
Zhao Xu nodded when he heard this, then turned to Zhang Liao. Zhao Ang, Xu Huang and others gave instructing him, and couldn't help but follow Dong Yue and walk towards Yuan Zhong.
"Haha, Boyang, you don't know. When the news of your victory over Yuan Shao and recapture Hanoi came, he was so happy when he heard the news. Moreover, if you hadn't threatened Han Fu this time, he would not have dared to continue supplying food and grass to the Kanto rebels, the war would not have ended so quickly. Not to mention anything else, you will definitely be the top scholar this time Boyang!"
"If you practice Qingwu, don't say that." Wood is beautiful and the wind will destroy it, and if you act higher than others, you will criticize it. Zhao Xu understands the meaning of this sentence very well, so he never has any idea of taking credit for himself.
Therefore, facing Dong Yue's praise, he couldn't help but say: "I'm just lucky. Although Yuan Benchu's reputation is very famous, he is just a noble family who does not know about military affairs. He is vain and timid, and there is nothing to praise to defeat him.
Besides, if the adults had not personally taken charge of Luoyang, the Kwantung Army in Nanyang and Sourjujubes in places such as the Kwantung Army would not dare to act rashly, I would not have had any chance to win.”
"Hey Boyang, that's not what you said. In the battle of Hanoi, you defeated Yuan Shao with less and more with your own strength. Looking at the world, it's a great achievement to deny this. Don't be too humble!"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
As they talked and laughed, the two of them couldn't help but come to a side hall in Biguiyuan. Then, without passing the guard's report, they walked in directly.
"My minister Zhao Xu, pay homage to you!"
Following Dong Yue, he walked into the side hall and saw Dong Zhuo who had not seen him for a long time, sitting in the hall waiting for them. Zhao Xu couldn't help but bow and kneel respectfully to the ground.
"Boyang, here you go. Hahahaha, please give me no gift, please give me no gift."
When he saw Zhao Xu, Dong Zhuo, who was sitting there, couldn't help but smile.
Although Dong Zhuo had already gained a lot of weight compared to when Zhao Xu left Beijing, his temples also showed a lot of white hair. However, when he saw Zhao Xu, Dong Zhuo stood up from his seat and then smiled and helped him up from the ground.
"Sir, I haven't seen you for a long time. Is your health okay?"
"Hahaha, it's very good, it's okay." Dong Zhuo said this, then took Zhao Xu's hand affectionately, but couldn't help but let Zhao Xu sit beside him.
"Qingwu, you do it too."
"Oh." Dong Yue responded, and couldn't help but choose a position on his left, then sit down with his knees bent.
"Boyang, you led your troops out of Beijing in October last year, and it has only been seven months, which is more than half a year. But in the past six months, you first wiped out 100,000 Baibo thieves in Hedong and eliminated the pseudo-Huns Chanyu Yufuluo. Then you entered Hanoi, killed the rebel Zhang Yang, and then defeated the great rebel Yuan Shao, and wiped out Hanoi for me.
In just half a year, you have led your troops to fight south and north and made such great achievements for me. Thank you really for your hard work."
"Where, sir, don't say that. If it weren't for the support of sir, how could I have today? Besides, I am the son of the adult, my son of the adult, my husband and father-in-law, and I serve my son, it's like a son who is filial to his parents. Isn't that right?"
"Hahahaha, okay, okay, okay! Boyang, you have a innocent heart!" Dong Zhuo couldn't help but feel very happy when he heard Zhao Xu's words.
Then he patted Zhao Xu's hand and couldn't help saying, "I heard that Yuyao is pregnant again now, right?"
"Yes, I've been pregnant for more than five months."
"Haha, okay. This time, I hope to give birth to a son for you and also give me a grandson. Ha, speaking of this, Boyang, you really have to learn from Qingwu.
Don’t see that Wu is not a few years older than you, Qing Wu’s son gave birth to five. The oldest boy is now twelve years old and can ride a horse and bend his bow.”
"Hahaha, not long ago, I had two more concubines pregnant. Boyang, you can't catch up with me in this regard."
The ancients emphasized the importance of having more children and more blessings.
With many children, it is definitely something worth showing off in this era. So seeing his appearance, Zhao Xu couldn't help but shake his head and smile.
"By the way, Boyang. Not long ago, Yuan Benchu, who was the leader of Kanto League, defeated Yuan Benchu's troops stationed in Hanoi County, and thanks to you, Han Fu dared not continue to provide food and grass to the Kanto rebels.
It can be said that you have made the greatest contribution in this battle with the Kanto thieves. So Boyang, do you think that for these Kanto troops that have been divided, should we pursue and continue to attack?"
"This..." Suddenly, when he heard Dong Zhuo raise such a question, Zhao Xu couldn't help but remain silent.
But after only a moment of silence, Zhao Xu couldn't help but say: "Sir, I think now is not the time to take advantage of the victory to pursue."
"This, Boyang, why!"
When Dong Yue, who was sitting on the other side, couldn't help but froze when he heard Zhao Xu say this. It was obvious that Dong Yue was the one who wanted to continue chasing to expand the fruits of victory.
This is probably one of the reasons why Dong Zhuo suddenly raised this problem at this time. His subordinates still have different ideas.
But when Zhao Xu recalled what he saw and heard along the way, and Dong Zhuo's previous practice of moving the emperor into the pass against the public. After Zhao Xu corrected the words, he couldn't help but explain word by word: "The reason why the Kanto Army was split at this time was that we did not attack them a large amount except for the Hanoi county. They did not feel too strong external pressure, so they, who had their own thoughts, gradually split.
But if we continue to pursue the victory and bite these Kwantung troops, they will definitely unite in order to save their lives. In this way, it will be too difficult for us to defeat them. After all, in Kwantung, we have no foundation.
So in my opinion, instead of pressing forward step by step and making the Kwantung Army become a solid piece, it is better to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight. In the name of the court, send envoys to lobby all parties and let them kill each other.
At that time, sir, you can use the method of getting far and near to attack, and then you will be able to fight one by one. If you have the righteousness in your hands, it will naturally be much easier to defeat the Kwantung Army."
"Hahahaha, Boyang's words are very consistent with my wish." At this time, Zhao Xu's words really meant that Dong Zhuo's heart was in his heart. So after saying aloud, Dong Zhuo looked at Dong Yue and couldn't help but say, "Qingwu, now you understand why you can't pursue the victory, right? To do big things, you must have a view of the overall situation, and you cannot just look at the gains and losses in front of you!"
