Chapter 229 The War is Coming

To some extent, the court talks shocked the heart of Emperor Liu Xie, who was ready to move.

Dong Qi walked out of the Nangong Gate, but summoned Hua Xiong who was a little unhappy. Of course, he would be unhappy. Every military general hoped to fully demonstrate his courage. Whether it was Hulao Pass or Xingyang, it was the place where a real man made his achievements.

But Dong Qi transferred him from Chenggao to Mengjin with just one sentence.

Although Mengjin's position is very important, Hua Xiong does not value it. In his opinion, Mengjin and Chenggao are like the gap between big cities and rural areas. Dong Qi said that Yuan Shao might have a sneak attack, but that was just a possibility.

Dong Qi's rise and Lu Bu's surrender...

Hua Xiong had already felt a deep crisis. Thinking about the first general in the Liangzhou army back then, he has now been replaced.

It would be fine if Dong Qi and Lu Bu were Dong Bu.

Look at Zhang He, Pang De, Zhang Liao... When young generals began to emerge, Hua Xiong's sense of crisis became more and more serious.

He needs an opportunity to show his courage to the world again.

But such a good opportunity was erased by Dong Qi's words. Hua Xiong was very unhappy, so when Dong Qi called him, he stopped with a gloomy face.

Dong Qi didn't care and pulled Hua Xiong's arm.

"Is the Protector of the Great? I'm not happy with what I'm doing today?"

The hippie smile made Hua Xiong feel angry and had no place to exhale. He glared at Dong Qi fiercely, then looked at the backs of Lu Bu and others who were leaving, and put his toes on his neck viciously. Why do you need to put your toes?

Dong is half a head taller than Huaxiong. Can you do not have to put on the toes?

"Xiping, you are really not kind!"

"Why am I not kind!" Dong Qi asked in surprise.

"I'll ask you, how is our relationship?"

"No, otherwise why would I give you a red horse?"

As soon as Hua Xiong mentioned the red horse, half of his anger disappeared. He let go of his hand and punched Dong Qi in the chest, "Since that's the case, why did you give that kid the great contribution that day? I haven't been so powerful for a long time."

It’s impossible to say that Hulao Pass is not worthy of your horoscope.

Dong Qi smiled and said, "Lao Hua, I don't deny that Hulao Pass is a good place to build achievements. But Meng Jin... Zhu Hao's boy is unreliable. Although he has not made any progress this time, how do you know that he will not play tricks on the silence? Zhu Yan... Humph. Meng Jin is very important to Luoyang and must guard his own people. I have been thinking about it for a long time, who else can you do?"

This sentence of my own people is to say that Hua Xiong is smiling.

"That won't work. You always have to compensate me...or, why don't you help me get a horse like Wenhou?"

There are only a few red rabbit horses in the world.

Dong Qi smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, I can't get the Red Rabbit Horse. But I can find a way for you to get a sweat-blooded BMW."

Hua Xiong's eyes lit up, "Take it serious?"

"really!"

Most of the sweat-blooded BMWs were produced in the Western Regions, and Dong Qi occupied Zhangye and actually found two.

In order to soothe Hua Xiong's wounded heart, Dong Qi had to endure the pain and send one out first. But Hua Xiong's heart was relieved, who would soothe Dong Qiong's heart?

"Major Protector, I have a word, I don't know whether to say it or not."

Hua Xiong got a good horse and was happy. He nodded with a smile: "Tell me."

"If you meet a general with a red face and beautiful beard on the battlefield in the future, be extra careful."

"Why?"

"Haha, no, I just said it casually."

Dong Qi never said to Hua Xiong: Brother, in history, you were killed by that blushing guy!

He had to find a reason to deal with it and then broke up with Hua Xiong. Although Hua Xiong was not in Hulao Pass, he still had to be more careful. Dong Qi had a feeling that Hua Xiong and Guan Gong were like fateful opponents and would always meet. This time he took care of Hua Xiong, but what about the next time? He never let Hua Xiong come forward when he heard that Guan Gong was there.

*******

Back home...

This family is not the Taishi Mansion of Yingchun Gate, but Cai Yong's home.

Dong Qi unexpectedly saw that there were more than a dozen people wearing iron-leaf armor standing in front of the Cai Mansion, like trolls.

Why do you say it seems?

The equipment of the trolls is basically mainly composed of Liangdang armor.

Although not everyone knows Dong, it can be seen from the equipment.

You should know that in the entire Luoyang City, only Dong Qi's trolls and Dong Zhuo's personal guards enjoy such equipment treatment.

But the people at the door seemed to be better equipped than the trolls, some of which were even something that Dong Qin had never seen before.

For example, the iron leaf armor has a different style from other armors. Dong Qi walked up and saw those people saluting at the same time.

"Master!"

"You are..."

Just as he was confused, a person walked out of the door.

When he saw Dong Qi, the man seemed extremely excited and hurried over and shouted: "Lord, Cheng Li misses you to death!"

"Cheng Li, you... didn't ask you to escort the Xu family Shenshen to Zhangye, why are you back?"

He nodded excitedly, "Lord, after the young general was ordered to arrive in Zhangye, he obeyed the order under Mr. Huang. At the beginning of the year, Duke Lu arrived in Zhangye and was in charge of Dunhuang. Within half a year, he brought Longle Zhiyanze into Zhangye's rule. General Chen Dao has also advanced from Yumen Pass to Yiwu and approached Duhe. Now, the Zhangye garrison has begun to achieve results."

Dong Qi was also extremely excited when he heard this.

"Master Lu, it's really amazing!"

Dong Qi did not have much concept of the place name Cheng Li mentioned. However, expanding the territory seems to be a good thing.

Moreover, with Lu Zhi there, he will not expand blindly.

Today, there are 128,000 households and nearly 500,000 people in the three counties of Zhangye. This number is amazing.

"The young man escorted Mr. Jia to come on the order of Duke Lu."

Mr. Jia...

Dong Qi was suddenly shocked, "But Mr. Wenhe?"

“That’s right!”

"Take me in..."

No wonder Dong Qi was so excited. After coming to Luoyang, he realized how important this strategist was. Faced with many plots, Dong Qi could only respond hastily for most of the time, but could not take the initiative to attack. Although Cai Yong sometimes helped him, it can be seen that this old man was very tired of conspiracy and disdainful of using it.

The key is that he disdains to use it, but some people are willing to use it.

Every time he passed away, Dong Qi was a little tired of it. He knew that Li Ru had arrived in Luoyang, so he was better.

But this does not mean that Dong Qi's burden is relaxed.

On the contrary, Dong Qi often felt that the pressure on his shoulders became heavier.

It is impossible to rely on Cai Yong and others to help every time, nor can it be troubled by Li Ru in everything. Now that he heard Jia Xu arrive in Luoyang, Dong Qi suddenly felt a sense of relief he had never felt before.

He hurried into the Cai Mansion and ran straight into the conference hall.

Cai Yong was sitting upright at the Eight Immortals table with a gloomy face. He felt Dong Qi and snorted angrily.

And Jia Xu was sitting in the guest seat coldly.

"Mr. Wenhe, Mr. Wenhe... I finally waited for you!"

Dong Qi did not realize that Cai Yong's face was abnormal. He shouted as soon as he entered the door, and his appearance was a little overly excited.

It made Jia Xu a little embarrassed, but his heart was still warm.

After a wink, Dong Qi realized Cai Yong's unhappiness.

He hurried over to salute, "Brother-in-law!"

However, Cai Yong picked up the yellow silk fan and slapped Dong Qi's head, "Damn it, do something big."

"ah……"

Dong Qi hugged his head and said with a bitter face: "Brother-in-law, what's wrong with me?"

"I'll ask you, what's going on in Zhangye? Didn't Old Man Lu go home? Why did he run to Zhangye?"

Dong Qi understood that it was Zhangye's secret, and Cai Yong found out.

He said with a bitter face: "Father-in-law, this matter..."

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to care about your cunning rabbit's three-hole plan. What I'm angry about is that since you have set aside the world, why is Old Man Lu already there leisurely, but I don't even have any news. Look, Old Man Lu's letter is really arrogant... He brought the soldiers and fought a war. This old guy was full of flaunting words. How could I not be angry?"

"It's the boy who was wrong!"

Dong Qi admitted his mistake for a long time, and finally Cai Yong was relieved.

Jia Xu watched from the side, just smiling and silent. When Cai Yong returned to the study, Dong Qi scratched his head awkwardly and said, "Let the teacher laugh!"

"Mr. Bo Ji's temper is getting more and more popular. Thinking back then, I admired Mr.'s calmness quite a bit."
