Chapter 136 Marriage of Dong and Bai, Mausoleum of Emperor Guangwu

What a sin...

Qin Kai heard that Dong Zhuo wanted to betroth his granddaughter Dong Bai to him to win over him, and Dong Bai was too young.

"If the prefect and our lord's troops join forces, they will be able to dominate the world. Please don't hesitate, prefect."

Li Su secretly used magic to fan the flames, trying to persuade Qin Kai and Dong Zhuo to join forces.

Qin Kai was not affected by Li Su's words and began to weigh the pros and cons.

If you switch to Dong Zhuo, all the camp points you have previously gained will be cleared. You will also become enemies with the princes of Guandong, and you will be disliked by some generals and civil servants.

The advantage is that Dong Zhuo can be granted an official position and can also obtain Dong Zhuo's granddaughter Dong Bai...

Of course, Dong Bai himself is not important. What is important is that by virtue of his status as Dong Zhuo's grandson-in-law, he will have the opportunity to take over Dong Zhuo's family fortune in the future.

Historically, after Dong Zhuo's death, Niu Fu basically inherited Dong Zhuo's troops, but it was a pity that Niu Fu did not make good use of Dong Zhuo's remnants.

"I agreed to the marriage. However, Dong Zhuo will send Dong Bai to my camp to show his sincerity."

"really?"

Li Su was shocked. He had already thought up a plan to persuade Qin Kai to defect to Dong Zhuo. Unexpectedly, Qin Kai agreed directly.

"What's this?"

Qin Kai considered that he would try to fight for Dong Zhuo's "legacy" in the future, so it would be better to try to get Dong Zhuo's granddaughter, so that he would have an excuse then.

Anyway, the princes' armies are all in disarray, and no one wants to take the lead in attacking Hulao Pass.

"Okay, I hope you won't break your promise, Governor."

Li Su agreed on behalf of Dong Zhuo.

Li Su left, and Qin Kai looked at Li Su's figure and fell into deep thought.

Guo Jia came out from behind the screen: "My lord really wants to marry Dong Bai? In this case, I am afraid that the heroes of the Kanto region will join forces to attack the lord. With my current military strength, I am afraid that I will not be able to resist the heroes of the Kanto region, and it will also reduce the favorability of some scholars towards my lord."

.”

"This is a lie. As long as Dong Zhuo sends Dong Bai to our camp, we will immediately renounce our relationship with Dong Zhuo, put Dong Bai under house arrest, and in the future, we will subdue Dong Zhuo's remnants in Dong Bai's name."

Qin Kai laid chess pieces for the future in advance.

Of course Qin Kai would not be stupid enough to marry Dong Bai in front of other Guandong princes, he would just take advantage of Dong Bai's identity.

At Hulao Pass, Jia Xu and Niu Fu inspected the city defenses, overlooking the endless military camps of the princes under the pass.

"I heard that the general's daughter is going to be betrothed to the governor of Liaoxi."

"Yes, this is my father-in-law's decision."

"I'm afraid the governor of Liaoxi will break his promise..."

Jia Xu's eyes were deep and he saw through Qin Kai's intention.

If Qin Kai were here, he would definitely be shocked.

Although Jia Xu's tone was questioning, after a little thought, he knew that Jia Xu's underlying line was that Qin Kai was deliberately trying to trick Dong Zhuo.

Niu Fu was surprised: "Qin Kai is the prefect of Liaoxi after all. A person of the prefect level should not break his promise easily, right?"

Jia Xu disagreed: "The world is in chaos, and all forces are fighting against each other. They are deceitful and profit-oriented. The general sent his daughter to the camp of Qin Kai. He accepted the betrothal gift and the general's daughter. He might turn his back on the general's daughter the next moment. After all,

He is not willing to make enemies of the heroes of Guandong just because of a woman."

Niu Fu's expression changed, and Jia Xu's analysis made some sense: "Then I want to remind my father-in-law to keep my daughter."

"General, wait a minute. This may not be a bad thing for the general."

"Why do you say that, sir?"

Niu Fu is confused.

A superb strategist like Jia Xu had a long-term vision, and Niu Fu could not figure out what Jia Xu was thinking for a while.

Jia Xu said slowly: "General, does he know the principle of the 'cunning rabbit's three burrows'?"

"Of course I know. But what does the Cunning Rabbit's Three Caves have to do with this marriage?"

Niu Fu was even more confused and scratched his head in confusion.

Why did Jia Xu talk to him about the truth?

Jia Xu guided: "Dong Gong is proclaimed emperor. If he succeeds, he will rule the world and his name will go down in history. The general and his family will enjoy the glory and wealth. What if he fails?"

"Kill the entire clan."

Niu Fu's face turned gloomy.

Of course he knew that Dong Zhuo claimed to be emperor without permission. If Dong Zhuo was defeated by the heroes of Guandong, Dong Zhuo's entire clan would be killed.

After all, proclaiming yourself emperor is a treasonous act.

"General, do you understand what I mean now?"

"I understand. Sir is indeed a god."

Niu Fu was awakened by Jia Xu, who asked Niu Fu to prepare an escape route.

Even if Dong Zhuo is defeated, Niu Fu will be able to keep some bloodline in the future by sending his daughter out in advance, and even have a way out.

If Dong Zhuo wins, Niu Fu can still try to get his daughter back.

This is Jia Xu's "cunning rabbit's three burrows" strategy.

"This time, I will ask my subordinates to escort your daughter to the Liaoxi military camp to find out the reality of this Liaoxi prefect."

"Thank you sir."

Niu Fu arranged for a group of Xiliang troops to escort Jia Xu and Dong Bai to Qin Kai's camp.

Qin Kai was unexpected that Dong Zhuo would send his granddaughter for marriage so quickly.

A pretty little girl got off the carriage and looked curiously at the unfamiliar camp. She didn't know that she had been sent by Dong Zhuo for marriage.

Dong Bai was only nine or ten years old, not even a girl, but in Dong Zhuo's opinion, she was already suitable for marriage.

"My Excellency, Jia Wenhe, has been ordered to escort the young lady here."

Jia Xu bowed to Qin Kai as if nothing had happened, and seemed not worried about coming to Qin Kai's territory.

With Jia Xu's intelligence, it would be extremely easy to leave. Unless he takes the initiative to be loyal, he cannot be retained.

Guo Jia, Xun You, and Liu Ye were all at Qin Kai's camp. For a time, Qin Kai's camp gathered the four great counselors from the Cao Wei camp, except for Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, Xi Zhicai and others.

Qin Kai never expected that Jia Xu would take the initiative to send an envoy.

Jia Xu was an incredible strategist, and every plan he made affected the direction of the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. He had a long lifespan, and was eventually ranked among the Three Dukes of Cao Wei, and he died without any illness.

Some players believe that Jia Xu is the highest-level counselor in the Three Kingdoms.

But in fact, the intelligence of counselors at the level of Jia Xu, Guo Jia, and Xun You is not much different, so it is very difficult for them to plot against each other.

If top strategists want to plot against each other, they basically have to use conspiracy.

Jia Xu took the initiative to come to visit, probably for a purpose.

Guo Jia, Xun You, and Liu Ye were sizing up Jia Xu, the uninvited guest.

Several major conspirators met for the first time.

Qin Kai was thinking about how to recruit Jia Xu, a superb counselor.

It is basically impossible to force Jia Xu to serve, otherwise Jia Xu will cheat you to death. You can only use kindness or benefits to make Jia Xu willing to be loyal.

According to the setting in "The World", Niu Fu and Jia Xu are from the same village and met when they were young. After Niu Fu married Dong Zhuo's daughter, he became a high-ranking member of Dong Zhuo's army and recruited Jia Xu as the mastermind.

Jia Xu is willing to serve Niu Fu.

"Wen He must have other matters during this mission, right?"

"Exactly."

"Come here, send Dong Bai to Miss Shi's care. Everyone else, except Fengxiao, Gongda, and Ziyang, please go down for now."

Qin Kai knew that Jia Xu had something to say, so he sent Dong Bai to Xi Shi to take care of him. The people sent by Niu Fu also drove away, leaving only four counselors.

Jia Xu showed admiration, Qin Kai was indeed a smart man.

"Everyone present can be trusted. If Wen He has something to do, he can speak out."

"Ahem, Dong Zhuo and Li Ru plan to loot Han tombs in various places and plunder the gold and silver treasures in them to use as military supplies."

Dong Zhuo wants to rob a tomb?

Qin Kai was slightly surprised by Jia Xu's reminder.

Both Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao seemed to like to rob tombs and plunder gold and silver treasures through tomb robbing.

"Dong Zhuo's excavation of the Han Tomb has little to do with me."

Qin Kai couldn't stop Dong Zhuo from robbing the tomb, and after learning the news, he seemed unable to do anything.
