The Fish Intestine Sword was pulled out, and Li Ru was killed by a legendary assassin. The surroundings were filled with the Western Liang Iron Cavalry, and Li Ru had no choice but to retreat.

"What a pity that a strategist at the level of a master."

The King of Guns in the North watched Li Ru fall down and secretly complained that it was a pity.

Eliminating Dong Zhuo means getting rid of Li Ru by the way. Otherwise, with Li Ru's wisdom, as long as Li Ru firmly avenges Dong Zhuo, there will be endless troubles.

"Lord, Dong Huang, Dong Bai and other Dong clan members escaped."

Han Sui, who was responsible for chasing Dong Zhuo people, came back to report to the King of Guns in the North.

"It should be Li Ru who rescued them. It seems that Li Ru still had a backup plan... But Dong Zhuo's relatives had no special people to pay attention to, and they were insignificant, so they ran away."

The King of Northern Ghosts ignored the escaped Dong Huang, Dong Bai and other relatives related to Dong Zhuo. These people had no use value in the eyes of the King of Northern Ghosts.

"Chang'an City has been obtained, and we will try to control Lu Bu next. We can only use the power of the aristocratic family to control Lu Bu. Lu Bu has no political capital and lacks the ability to deal with the aristocratic family. In addition to being prone to rebellion, it is a handy tool..."

The King of Guns of the Northland knew Lu Bu’s weaknesses.

Lu Bu's political value is extremely low.

For player lords, the political value is low, and the territorial bonus is no big deal.

However, for NPC generals who want to become princes, this may be a fatal weakness.

The lack of political value means lack of ability to deal with powerful families and political capital.

The princes fought against each other at the end of the Han Dynasty. In fact, behind each prince was the support of the powerful families.

Cao Cao's camp included the Xun family in Yingchuan and the Xiahou family in Qiao County. Even the military generals with a low presence, Li Qian and Li Dian gathered thousands of diners in Chengshi County before surrendering to Cao Cao, and they were definitely local tyrants.

One of Lu Bu's fatal weaknesses is his lack of support from powerful men. Therefore, Lu Bu is often played by powerful men in the hands of the aristocratic families.

As it turns out, Lu Bu was positioned as a cavalry general, and he was finished by leading the cavalry Zhu Tu.

But Lu Bu wanted to establish himself as a prince.

In Yecheng, Xu Tian returned to the main city, and asked someone to count the losses of Chaoge's battle and recruit soldiers based on the losses.

At this time, the importance of the degree of territory development is highlighted.

Having more people, gold, silver, food and grass, can quickly make up for losses and restore strength after experiencing the war.

Sitting in Jizhou, which has a large population and Bingzhou, which has a strong folk custom, is Xu Tian’s confidence in fighting with other princes.

The geographical advantage of Jizhou is [increasing grain production], while the geographical advantage of Bingzhou is [strong folk customs] - the basic attributes of soldiers who have changed their positions in Bingzhou's military source +10%, which is suitable for increasing the population proportion of people who have changed their positions and become cavalry.

The geographical advantages of different prefectures and counties vary. Therefore, the development directions of the princes in different places are also different.

The geographical advantage of Jizhou [increasing grain production], coupled with the geographical advantage of Bingzhou [strong folk customs], is equivalent to the provision of food and grass in Jizhou, and Bingzhou provides combat-ready troops, cooperate with each other to form an elite legion, which is no problem, and can even be said to be a breeze.

Youzhou and Qingzhou also have corresponding geographical locations.

Therefore, the princes who occupied the four prefectures of Hebei will have unprecedented advantages and can be called the heroes of Hebei.

Of course, even though Yuan Shao owned the four prefectures of Hebei, he still lost to Cao Cao.

After the failure of the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao could still stabilize the overall situation with the four prefectures.

Unfortunately, Yuan Shao's mentality was not good and his luck was extremely poor. He died of illness soon, and Cao Cao had the opportunity to gradually erode Hebei.

With Yuan Shao as the predecessor, Xu Tian seemed cautious when unifying the four prefectures of Hebei.

"Yuan Shao, brothers Yuan Shu, they really love each other. Since Yuan Shao left Hanoi, Hanoi County can basically be included."

Xu Tian had learned that Yuan Shao had returned to Runan County, where Yuan's family started.

When Yuan Shu was at the end of his journey, his final choice was to go north and surrender to Yuan Shao.

Correspondingly, Yuan Shao was at the end of his journey, and his final choice was still the Yuan family in Runan.

Runan County is the sphere of influence of the Yuan family, and Yuan Shao probably wants to make a comeback with the help of his family's power.

"Lord, the Dong Zhuo tribe fled to Yecheng and asked for asylum."

The military generals Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang, who were in charge of the security of Yecheng, came to report to Xu Tian.

"Why did the Dong Zhuo people come here?"

Xu Tian was a little surprised.

Xu Tian's surprise came from the fact that the Dong Zhuo people could escape from the pursuit of the King of Guns and Lu Bu, and was also surprised that the Dong Zhuo people would flee to Jizhou to defect to themselves.

Xu Tian and Sun Jian are Dong Zhuo's enemy.

Dong Zhuo killed Zu Mao. If Sun Jian knew that Dong Zhuo's tribe came to surrender, he would probably be dissatisfied with it.

However, Xu Tian was still willing to meet with the Dong Zhuo people and see what benefits they could get from the Dong Zhuo people.

Li Ru only protected Dong Zhuo's most important tribe members to let them leave safely.

Otherwise, if you bring your family with your family, these people will be killed by the Xiliang cavalry.

The Dong Zhuo people who were dressed in luxury were now in rags and no difference from refugees.

Among Dong Zhuo's tribe members, there were a few women, but they were a bit pretty, one of them was only over ten years old.

Xu Tian has heard of this person, and it should be Dong Zhuo's granddaughter Dong Bai.

As the name suggests, the skin is as white as snow.

Of course, among these people, there are several daughters of Dong Zhuo, among them Niu Fu's wife.

Dong Min, Dong Yue and others died in battle, and the remaining tribe members were led by Dong Zhuo's nephew Dong Huang.

Dong Huang knelt on the ground and asked Xu Tian for help: "Before Li Ru died, I told us that only General Zhengbei can avenge us. We are willing to present all the gold, silver and treasures we carried to the general, just to protect the safety of the entire clan and send troops to avenge our lord!"

It turned out that Li Ru ordered the Dong Zhuo people to come and surrender.

"This is not easy to deal with..."

Xu Tian pretended to hesitate.

He already understood Li Ru's intention.

Before Li Ru died, he still left a foreshadowing, allowing his enemies Lu Bu and Xu Tian to fight. If he could use the final design to kill Lu Bu, the King of Northern Guns, and avenge Dong Zhuo and himself, it would be better.

Xu Tian was also quite interested in the treasures brought by Dong Huang and others from the Meiwu.

However, Xu Tian did not need to be subject to Dong Huang's conditions, because Xu Tian could directly kill people and seize treasures.

Dong Huang gritted his teeth, and indeed, it was too difficult to ask Xu Tian, ​​who had a bad relationship with Dong Zhuo, to avenge Dong Zhuo.

There was no way Dong Huang gave Dong Bai a look and could only hope for the beauty plan.

Dong Bai pleaded with tears to Xu Tian for the sake of the Dong clan: "As long as the general takes us in, the little girl is willing to be a cow and horse, and let the adults send her to do whatever they want..."

Beauty plan?

This move doesn't seem to have any effect on Xu Tian, ​​because there are too many beauties around Xu Tian and they can't be busy at all!

"When Li Ru died, he left behind dead soldiers in the Xiliang army. Only when we are alive can the dead soldiers work."

Dong Huang and Xu Tian looked at each other and told him the last method left by Li Ru.

"It's interesting..."

Xu Tian was finally moved.

Because the Dong Zhuo tribe was in a hurry, he definitely did not take away many treasures, so Xu Tian was not interested in this.

As for Dong Bai's desire to agree with him, Xu Tian was also very interested.

But Li Ru is worthy of being a first-class planner. Before his death, he also set up chess pieces in the Xiliang army, winning the opportunity for the Dong Zhuo people to survive.

Li Ru helped Dong Zhuo march into Kanto twice in a row. During the rebellion of Xiliang, he almost killed Sun Jian by using a knife to kill people, and then saved Dong Zhuo's people before his death. He really deserves Dong Zhuo's trust.

"I can take you in."
