The Rebellious Officials and Traitors of the Late Han Dynasty

Chapter 43 How could such a beauty fall into the hands of others?

"Since the existing territory cannot be given to you, then go and seize it."

Jia Xu said quietly: "My lord, there is a place waiting for my lord to take it."

"where?"

Qin Shou thought for a while and asked.

There are many such places, but there are very few places where Dong Zhuo can speak.

"Nanyang, the Imperial Hometown."

Nanyang is a large city in the Central Plains with a large population. It was the place where Liu Xiu started his career. If he could occupy Nanyang, he would not only have a large population, but also a large amount of money and food.

The key is that it is Yuan Shu who now occupies Nanyang.

The attack on Yuan Shu was also based on his reputation, so Dong Zhuo would definitely agree.

"My lord, you can report to the prime minister. The Baibo army is raging in Hedong. Please send troops to conquer Baibo. Hedong is where the prime minister started his career. He served as a prefect there. If nothing else, he will not send the lord tens of millions. Wait for him to refuse. Later, my lord will talk about conquering Nanyang, I guess he will not refuse." Jia Xu said, stroking his beard.

"Great kindness."

Qin Shou said, patting his thigh.

This Jia Xu is really powerful, and his strategy has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

"Actually, my subordinates think Hedong is the best."

Jia Xu said quietly.

After hearing this, Qin Shou immediately understood what the other party meant. He occupied Hedong and peeked into Guanzhong. Once there was a change in Guanzhong, he could enter Guanzhong within a day.

Although Nanyang is good, it is separated by Wuguan and Qinling Mountains, so it is still a bit inconvenient to get in and out of Guanzhong.

Jia Xu is a smart man. He clearly realized that Dong Zhuo would not last long. Changes would occur in Guanzhong within a few years at most. At that time, the army would go out of Hedong and occupy Guanzhong. This would be the foundation of the king's hegemony.

"Just do your best and obey fate. Anyway, we can't stay in Guanzhong any longer." Qin Shou knew deeply how chaotic the situation in Guanzhong would be in the past two years.

Li Jue, Guo Si and others were loyal to Dong Zhuo, Niu Fu was Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, Dong Yue and others were Dong Zhuo's clansmen, and the Xiliang army was all in Dong's hands.

If he stays here, not only will he not get any benefits, but he will also get involved in a struggle and waste two years in vain. This is not the result Qin Shou wants.

"I heard that my lord saved Cai Bojie's daughter?" Jia Xu suddenly asked.

"It is true." Qin Shou nodded and said, "It was done casually. How come it has spread to Chang'an City?"

"My lord, although Miss Zhaoji is a widow, she is Cai Bozhe's daughter and has a great influence among the scholars. What if my lord?" Jia Xu's eyes flashed strangely.

If Qin Shouruo just wants to become a famous general, his identity and reputation are naturally no problem, but if he wants to conquer the world, his reputation is very important.

Dong Zhuo's generals don't sound good, but if they become Cai Yong's son-in-law, it will be different.

Although Du Shiniang is very beautiful now, she is just beautiful. In terms of status, she is no longer worthy of Qin Shou, and help is impossible.

After hearing this, Qin Shou immediately shook his head and said, "It is not the Du family's fault that the wife of a wretched woman refuses to go to court, so how can I abandon her? Cai Zhaoji is a daughter of a famous family, and she will not make me a mistress."

Cai Zhaoji's name was very famous. Even after being captured by the Huns, she gave birth to two sons for King Zuoxian. After returning to the Central Plains, she still married a famous person.

Who does Qin Shou mean, and what qualifications does he have to let Cai Zhaoji be the younger one, at least not now.

"It's not impossible for my lord to accomplish this matter." Jia Xu said, "I have seen all over the world that the only one who can be worthy of Miss Zhaoji is my lord."

"Could it be that my lord just has to watch Miss Zhaoji marry someone else?"

Jia Xu looked at Qin Shou with an inexplicable look on his lips. Jia Xu's words went straight into people's hearts, and even Qin Shou couldn't bear it. Reflecting on his heart, Qin Shou shook his head decisively.

If a beauty like Cai Zhaoji is allowed to marry someone else, no one can bear it. Not everyone is like Wei Zhongdao, who died within a few days of getting married.

Cai Zhaoji's next lover might be a person who lives a long life.

"Don't worry, my lord, this matter can be left to my subordinates to ensure that the beauty my lord can hold will return."

Jia Xu chuckled.

Even though Qin Shou's bravery is already the best in the world, if he wants to conquer the world, it is not enough to rely on bravery alone. He also needs a good reputation. Cai Yong and his daughter can help Qin Shou make up for this.

"Okay, here comes Mr. Lao."

Qin Shou was not polite. Now that he had made up his mind, he was no longer timid.

"My lord Shengming." Jia Xu was very happy after hearing this and said: "In that case, my lord, please go to the Cai Mansion to visit Cai Bojie tomorrow. The rest of the matter will be left to my subordinates."

After hearing this, Qin Shou pointed at Jia Xu and said, "Did Wen He ask someone to make a big show of it and even go there with gifts?"

Jia Xu just smiled and didn't answer, but in fact he acquiesced to Qin Shou's words.

This feeling makes Jia Xu very comfortable. It is certainly a good thing to obey what is said, but it is very rare for a lord to be able to cooperate with each other, complement each other and obey what is said.

At this moment, Jia Xu felt that the pores all over her body were relaxed.

"A certain person's success in Wenhe is like King Wen's success in Jiang Shang, and Gao Zu's success in becoming a marquis!" Qin Shou praised without hesitation.

What kind of figures were King Wen and Emperor Gaozu? They were both founding emperors.

Although he was praising Jia Xu, he was not showing his ambition.

"My lord, you are so complimentary." Jia Xu also looked very happy.

After the two made a plan, the next day, Qin Shou came to Cai Mansion with great fanfare and brought gifts.

Although Cai Yong was smart, he never expected Qin Shou to be so insidious and have his eyes locked on his daughter. Instead, he happily led Qin Shou in.

"Zhao Ji pays homage to the general."

Cai Zhaoji did not shy away from suspicion. She came out to see Qin Shou and thanked him for his life-saving grace.

Looking at the appearance of father and daughter, Qin Shou felt a little guilty in his heart, but thinking of his great cause and looking at the beautiful woman in front of him, he instantly put aside the guilt in his heart.

Only I, Qin Shou, can be worthy of such a beauty.

"After meeting Miss Zhaoji and seeing Miss An Tai, Qin felt much more at ease. It is a shame for our soldiers to involve Miss Zhaoji and almost be captured by the Huns."

Qin Shou said calmly.

"We, the soldiers, are ashamed of ourselves for not being able to protect our homes, our country, and our people. The main reason we came here today is to apologize."

After hearing this, Cai Yong and his daughter were slightly moved. It was very extraordinary for a warrior to say such words. This was not something a warrior could say.

"General, please."

Cai Yong had a good impression of Qin Shou for a while.

"It's a pity that we are already married."

Cai Yong felt a pity in his heart when he thought about the news he had learned. His daughter was driven back by the Wei family, and he was planning to find a husband for Cai Zhaoji!
Qin Shou was originally a good candidate, but he was already married, which made Cai Yong feel very sorry.
