"Brother."

Dong Chong held it all the way until there were no one else around him, and then he spoke in a low voice, and looked around again as if he was worried about being heard...

"Brother, I think... I think Zhao Yun is unreliable. Do you want someone to..."

Dong Chong also made a "kill" gesture, but Dong Hu hugged his neck.

"Don't think about it all, boy!"

"Zilong is your brother, and he will not betray us!"

Hearing such words, Dong Chong became confused in an instant. The two brothers grew up together since childhood and could feel the other person's emotional changes, but now...

"Honest, do you believe in fate?"

Dong Hu suddenly said something that made Dong Chong stunned, he didn't know how to answer...

"Zilong has a destiny, Liu Bei, who is hiding in Xiang County. We believe that Zilong will not betray us, but... but we are worried that after the two meet, some cause and effect will happen that we don't want to see."

"ah?"

Dong Chong was stunned and whispered: "What is Liu Bei's ability? We feel... I feel that my elder brother seems to be quite concerned about him... quite concerned?"

...

"As soon as you encounter a storm, you will turn into a dragon..."

"Some people are the prides of heaven in this era. Even if they are nothing at this time, once they have the right opportunity, they will definitely become the prides of heaven in this era."

Dong Hu patted Dong Chong's shoulder and sighed.

"Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, Gongsun Zan, Sun Ce, and Liu Bei are all the prides of heaven in this era..."

"Of course, so are you and me today."

Just when Dong Chong was a little dissatisfied, Dong Hu patted his shoulders and said something that satisfies him. Then he shook his head and sighed. I don’t know if he was feeling the pride of heaven or his unexpected appearance that affected them...

"Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu relies on the reputation accumulated by the Yuan family of the fourth generation and the third generation of the Yuan family for a hundred years."

"Cao Cao is a hero who knows people well and uses them well. He is bold and meticulous. His military strategy is the best in the world. If you and I are lying in Liang and guarding the border, the world will be taken away by him."

"Gongsun Zan, Sun Jian, and Sun Ce have the same temperament. They are strong and brave. They are as strong as the King of Chu back then. However, they are hard and easy to break, soft and bend. They are hard and brave. They will never achieve hegemony after all. However, Sun Jian's second descendant Sun Quan is the lord of a minister. If you meet him, you must not despise him because of his youth."

"The Yuan brothers, Cao Cao, Sun Jian and his son, are all from the Qingliu Party. Even if they are not, they have one or another connection with the Qingliu Party."

"Since Emperor Huan, the imperial court has valued eunuchs. After the party and imprisonment, the world was divided into two factions, namely the eunuch party and the Qingliu party. Therefore, the Yuan brothers, Cao Cao, and Sun Jian, and also gained enough political capital and fame in the process of interacting with the Qingliu scholars. This is the political capital that they can become the world's dominant one."

"Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei are not. They do not have such political capital. If Gongsun Zan understood the words "Qianlong is in the Abyss", he would not be in a hurry to participate in this world battle. He would focus his main energy on Youzhou. Perhaps he would become the dominant world, but now... he has been eliminated."

Dong Hu frowned and said, "Compared to Gongsun Zan's courage but not strategy, Liu Bei seemed much smarter. He knew his shortcomings. This person frequently attached to the various princes. Every time he expanded his influence, and every time he grew up and grew stronger. Moreover, his surname "Liu" would make him become another Yanmei, and Bian brother would make some defeated princes and family depend on him."

"hehe……"

Seeing Dong Chong frowning, Dong Hu knew what he wanted to say, and couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.

"There are countless descendants of the Liu family in the world. Even if some declining families want to rise, they don't have to surrender to Liu Bei, right? For example, if you surrender to Liu Yao, surrender to the debater, or surrender to other Liu surnames, can't you?"

Dong Chong nodded quickly and said, "Brother said, if it were us, we would have surrendered to the court now. It would have been countless times better to surrender to the court than to Liu Bei!"

"hehe……"

Dong Hu couldn't help but nodded and smiled, but shook his head and sighed softly.

"You are right, the key is, can the current court still unify the world?"

"Do you really think... the capable and ambitious people in the world will not see the decline of the court?"

Dong Chong immediately scratched his head. The eldest brother had explained it very clearly that the court was no longer possible. Even if... even if it was possible, the brothers would kill the court. This is a fact that the generals in the army had already agreed.

Dong Hu smiled and said, "Using history as a lesson to learn from the rise and fall, today's world is somewhat similar to when Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, but there are also great differences, but few people have paid attention to these differences."

"For a family that has been around for hundreds of years, and for those who are familiar with the history of that year, as long as there is a royal family like Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu in the world... the same down-and-out royal family, who has the same ambitions in the world and the same kindness to treat the people... the world will definitely be the Han Dynasty, and Liu Bei has almost all the advantages of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu."

Dong Chong's expression was instantly solemn. He would not care about how others evaluated Liu Bei, but if his elder brother commented like this, he had to pay attention to it.

"Brother, is that...will Liu Bei become another Liu Xiu? Why don't Wen Yuan and Dong Gu raid Xiang County and kill that Liu Bei?"

"Don't do anything nonsense!"

Dong Hu glared at him and slapped Dong Chong on the back of the shoulder.

"What do we mean? Today is somewhat similar to Wang Mang's time. There are two main similarities. One is that the land annexation in the world is serious, and most of the land has fallen into the hands of wealthy families. The court's taxes are seriously insufficient. Because of this reason, Wang Mang has undergone the reform of the 'Wang Field System'; the other is that Wang Mang ascended the throne, which is similar to the destruction of his uncle, which has triggered chaos in the world."

"The same is the great chaos in the world, and the reasons for inducing great chaos in the world are almost the same, but the two are fundamentally different. Wang Mang wanted to confiscate the fields in the world, but his uncle did not do such a thing. Even if we occupied countless fields, we did not blatantly deprive the fields of the wealthy families of the aristocratic families."

"Wang Mang was too radical. Wang Tianshi not only made him an enemy of countless wealthy families in the world, but also made him a lonely family in the court. It is a matter of time before he died or died... But you must know that the countless rebellious families in the world made Wang Mang's rebellion, not the rebellion of the Liu family in the Han Dynasty! This is extremely important! But look at what He Jin did after his brother Bian ascended the throne, and look at the behavior of various princes besieging Luoyang. Do they still care about the majesty of the Han Dynasty?"

Dong Chong nodded quickly and said, "Brother is right. At this time, the world no longer cares about the majesty of the Han Dynasty!"

Dong Hu smiled bitterly and said, "In the late Western Han Dynasty, land annexation was serious and the court taxes were insufficient. Although Wang Mang was a little reckless, he was eager to reform and hoped to change this situation. Once this situation was changed, he would inevitably offend the whole wealthy family in the world."

"What about Emperor Ling Liu Hong? Without the 'powerful ministers' like Wang Mang to help him reform and make money, he could only use a group of eunuchs to dig money around, so eunuchs had to die. But Emperor Liu Hong, aunt, and brother Bian were all defending eunuchs, the emperor... or the Han Dynasty became the enemy of wealthy families. It is not difficult to understand that although my uncle had three thousand soldiers in his hand, he deposed Bian's throne in three days, but no one opposed it! It is also possible to understand why so many families provided money and grain to rebel..."

"Because the emperor became another Wang Mang, although the two of them searched for money and food in different ways."

...

"The princes of all walks of life no longer respect the majesty of the Han Dynasty. This is different from when Wang Mang was back then. When Wang Mang rebelled, the real leader was descendants of the Liu family. Now... let alone Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao and others obeyed Liu Yao, Liu Biao, and Liu Bei. After the court fled to Xiangyang, he asked Cao Cao to Lujiang County. Did he go?"

"Have Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Gongsun Zan, Tao Qian and others sent their son to Xiangyang as protons?"

"No!"

...

"Times have changed, and the world has changed..."

"But you should also be able to see some clues from Yanmei and Biandi. Someone will definitely see that Liu Bei is very similar to Liu Xiu back then, and there will definitely be some capable and patriots who surrender."

"We believe that as long as Liu Bei believes that he is similar to Liu Xiu, there will definitely be someone who follows him wholeheartedly! And this is the fundamental reason why he can dominate one side."

Dong Hu patted Dong Chong's shoulder and sighed.

"Times have changed, and all the princes in the world no longer respect the majesty of the Han Dynasty. Even if the defeated family surrenders to Liu Bei, how much support can they give to Liu Bei? As the princes use various means to seize the hearts of the people, the potential strength that Liu Bei and the court can obtain will be greatly reduced, and he is destined to be the weakest party, unless he can obtain a piece of territory, but where can he obtain?"

"The Sili School Command, Yanzhou, Qingzhou is in our hands, Jizhou is in Yuan Shao's hands, Youzhou Gongsun Zan, and Yuzhou Yuan Shu will not allow Liu Bei to dominate the king in their territory."

Dong Hu looked at the south with thoughtful thoughts...

"Xuzhou Tao Qian is sick and it is hard to say whether he can survive this year. However, Xuzhou is similar to Yizhou. There is a contest between the Dongzhou clan and the Yizhou local family in Yizhou. Xuzhou also has a competition between the Danyang clan and the Xuzhou local family. If Liu Bei wants to take over Xuzhou, he must balance the Danyang clan military and the Xuzhou local political and economic clan. No matter which side he offends, it will be difficult for Liu Bei to remain stable in Xuzhou..."

"What's more, there is still Lu Bu in Xuzhou! Even if we and Yuan Shu don't put external pressure on Xuzhou, then how could Lu Bu be willing to surrender to Liu Bei if he even killed his uncle?"

Dong Chong was shocked, and then he remembered what happened to Lu Bu, and was about to speak...

"Xuzhou is a place of four battles. Although Liu Yao became the governor of Yuzhou, he only had Pei and Chen countries. Moreover, the local families of the two counties and states did not cooperate and did not give him money, grain and support soldiers. Once Tao Qian in Xuzhou died of illness, how could Liu Yao give up the fat meat at his mouth?"

"Liu Yao, Zhu Yi represents the court, how could Yuan Shu let Liu Yao seize Xuzhou?"

Dong Hu said disdainfully: "Even if we don't get involved in Xuzhou, Xuzhou will become a pot of congee. In this case, Liu Bei wants to occupy Xuzhou?"

"I'm crazy!"

"Liu Bei could not gain a foothold in Xuzhou, and neither Liu Yao nor Yuan Shu would allow it, especially after the imperial court moved the capital to Chengdu!"

"Cao Cao ran to Wu County. Although he didn't know what the situation was, Liu Bei was definitely not Cao Aman's opponent. Yuan Shu occupied Runan County, Jiujiang County, and Lujiang County. If Liu Bei wanted to have a stable nest, he could only go to Jingzhou. He was the general under Liu Biao. It was normal to return to Jingzhou, but he could at most serve as the prefect of a county in Jingzhou. Unless Liu Biao died of illness, Liu Biao would never give him any chance to dominate..."

"Ko...Ke Zilong is in Nanyang County!"

Dong Hu smiled bitterly. Zhao Yun is a 30-year-old adult. He has established his own worldview, outlook on life, and values. No matter how Dong Hu is influenced, it is difficult to influence his ideas. However, Liu Bei is the best at winning people's hearts. It is hard to say whether the two will collide after they meet, but he has no way. He can't transfer Zhao Yun to Liangzhou and Bingzhou to guard the border, right?
