Chapter 121: The Scourge of Xiao Wall?


"Although Cai Yong is a well-known scholar in the gentry clan, marrying him can gain some fame, and it will also be helpful to the young master's foundation in the future.

However, that time has not yet come."

Ma Chao listened quietly to Jia Xu's explanation, and knew that Jia Xu had already 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 yet?

Now under the management of Ma Chao, the Ma family in Xiliang now has three counties: Fufeng, Xinping, and Beidi.

It has good relations with the Dongqiang tribe.

If it is considered to be full power, it can raise 100,000 troops, which will shock Xiliang.

But Jia Xu actually said that the Ma family had not reached that time at all, obviously because he felt that the Ma family was not powerful enough to enter the horizon of the nobles.

"Although Han Sui's daughter is not a powerful nobleman, Han Sui is the leader of the Tieqiang Alliance, and Yongzhou also looks up to Han Sui's leadership.

If the young master can marry Han Sui's daughter and marry Han Sui, then he can marry Han Sui in the shortest time.

Controlling the two states of Yongliang will give you the capital to dominate the world."

Jia Xu said these words calmly, and inevitably felt some ups and downs in his heart.

Not only did he pick up the tea cup, he also took a sip of tea.

"Why, why do you want a certain person to take control of Yongliang and Liangzhou in the shortest possible time?"

Ma Chao's heart trembled, and he vaguely seemed to understand Jia Xu's intention.

"Because, soon there will be chaos in Chang'an, and if the Ma family does not have the power to protect themselves, they will become tragic victims."

Jia Xu took another sip of tea, calmed down his emotions, and then slowly said: "Dong Zhuo's frontier fortress warriors, It is really ridiculous to try to control the entire court with the will of a warrior.

In the early days, he cooperated with the scholars, and he was still powerful.

But now that Dong Zhuo is short-sighted and has lost his ambition to dominate the world, it will not be too late for his demise. " 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 compete with Dong Zhuo's men.

This old fox is so extraordinary.

It was only because he foresaw the historical trend that he learned that Dong Zhuo would be deceived by Wang Yun into going to the palace to receive Zen on one day two years later, and then asked his godfather, the killer Lu Bu, to paint a halberd on Fangtian and kill him.

But Jia Xu actually predicted that Dong Zhuo would die and his power would be destroyed just from Dong Zhuo's change of mentality.

It is really incredible.

In order to test whether Jia Xu really had a clever plan, Ma Chao deliberately asked: "The alliance to conquer Dong has been disbanded, and the princes of Guandong are fighting against each other.

Sun Jian, the only famous general to conquer Dong, also attacked Yuzhou with Yuan Shu, and has no intention of attacking Dong Zhuo.

So he said Come, Dong Zhuo can sit back and relax, how can he talk about his demise?"

Jia Xu looked at Ma Chao steadily, with an unexplainable meaning in his eyes.

Ma Chao also looked a little worried.

Finally, he spread his hands helplessly and said: "Okay, I also think Dong Zhuo looks like a grasshopper after autumn, but But I don’t know why Mr.

Jia concluded that Dong Zhuo must die.”

"Humph, how can the disaster of Xiao Qiang be like the embankment?"

Jia Xu withdrew his gaze, but still looked a little unwilling.

Seeing that Ma Chao had no intention of explaining, he continued: "The burning of Luoyang not only burned down the last members of the gentry.

The hope also burned away Dong Zhuo’s energy.”

Ma Chao knew that what Jia Xu was talking about was the atrocities committed by Dong Zhuo when he moved the capital a few days ago before Sun Jian's capture.

According to historical records, Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an and burned Luoyang.

The situation is as follows: Dong Zhuo drove westward, took over wealthy families, punished them for their crimes, confiscated their property, and killed countless people; he drove millions of remaining people to Chang'an, and rode on foot Drive away the frown, and even more cross each other to borrow.

Hungry bandits plunder, and the roads are filled with corpses.

Zhuo Ziliu in Bigui Garden burned all palaces, temples, government offices, and homes.

Within two hundred miles, all the houses and houses were destroyed, and no chickens or dogs were left.

He also sent Lü Bu to the tombs of emperors and ministers to collect their treasures.

The fire burned Luoyang and turned 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 heroes of Guandong.

However, judging from the strength of the heroes of Guandong, they could not defeat Dong Zhuo, and naturally they would not be able to capture Luoyang.

By doing this, Dong Zhuo not only bore the crime of cruelty but also did himself no good.

Moreover, after all the eunuchs were executed, most of the "rich families" in Luoyang, the capital, should be the homes of scholars.

Dong Zhuo's execution of the "rich families" was actually a fundamental blow to the power of the scholars in the court; regardless of the lives of the people, he moved to The people of Luoyang came to Chang'an, which was the foundation for completely cutting off the rebellion of the scholars in the DPRK; this was one of Dong Zhuo's revenge measures against the scholar group.

However, Dong Zhuo felt that this action was not enough to express his attitude of breaking with the scholar group, so he also killed Yuan Shao's uncle Yuan Wei, his servant Yuan Ji, and their families in revenge for Yuan Shao's crusade.

As a result, all Dong Zhuo's early efforts were in vain.

The original trend of ethnicization of warriors suddenly turned into the practice of ethnicization of warriors, which made the gentry hate Dong Zhuo to the core.

After a person is deceived, it is easy to go in the opposite direction.

This is especially true for Dong Zhuo, who has been influenced by the idea of ​​"the weak and the strong" at the border for a long time.

His change was because he realized that he had been deceived by the scholars.

Those scholars regarded his thoughts as a wolf-hearted thing.

As a local warrior, Dong Zhuo specialized in government affairs, which was unprecedented in the history of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Therefore, Dong Zhuo was walking on thin ice in the early days.

Although he had a strong army, he still tried every means to please the scholars.

This was like lifting the "party ban" of the scholars at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and empowering the scholars.

Measures such as appointing people as important ministers in the imperial court are all manifestations of compromise with the scholars.

But the scholars did not buy his account at all.

They could not accept the reality of military dictatorship, so they launched a series of struggles against Dong Zhuo's military dictatorship.

Yuan Shao's plan for the scholars to mobilize troops to attack Dong Zhuo was one of the sharp manifestations.

Later, Dong Zhuo discovered that he had been deceived, so he decided to destroy the foundation of the court scholars' opposition to him, and at the same time retaliate against the court scholars' collusion with foreign soldiers to oppose his rule.

Everything he did was more incompetent and short-sighted than cruelty and weak-mindedness.

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 the scholars have firm political ideas and the determination to constantly fight for them.

Internally speaking, scholars have continuous integrity and ideas; externally speaking, scholars have intricate relationships and gradually mastered the armed forces.

Dong Zhuo's fall was obviously not caused by an armed uprising.

Jia Xu concluded that Xiao Qiang's disaster meant that Dong Zhuo might die due to the conspiracy of scholars within the Chang'an court.

Dong Zhuo rejected the political ideas of all scholars.

This approach not only did not stop the scholars' revenge against Dong Zhuo, but instead plunged them into more intense conflicts.

However, this contradiction is hidden under the calm.

At this point in his thoughts, Ma Chao fully understood what Jia Xu meant.

Based on his own analysis and speculation, Jia Xu arranged the future direction for Ma Chao.

They 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, I don't have to Marry Han Ying.

As you know, Han Sui and the Ma family are currently life-or-death enemies."

"Enemies of life and death, all things in the world must be profit-oriented.

How can a person like Han Sui, who is so scheming, still be an enemy of the Ma family?"

Jia Xu narrowed his eyes and even said a little funny: "What if?

My guess is right, Han Sui may have prepared a dowry when he comes this time."

"No way, Han Sui would do this."

Ma Chao was very excited, but at the same time he also knew that the words coming from Jia Xu's mouth would be much more accurate than the weather forecast from CCTV. s: Thank you Ye Yeqiufeng for the reward.

I wonder if I have removed the q at the end and am it still you?
