Chapter 703 Dong Zhuo Seeks for Good Advice

"This, to erect a monument?"

"National award?"

Su Yao's promise was like a bombshell, causing an uproar in the viewing stand.

These children from noble families looked at each other, with disbelief flashing in their eyes.

They never expected that this seemingly cold-blooded champion would actually offer such tempting conditions.

Erecting a monument and leaving a legacy is a good thing that will last forever!
For aristocratic families, fame and reputation are among the things they value most.

It is undoubtedly a great honor for them to be able to leave their names in the county annals and even have them praised nationwide.

"What is this Champion Hou up to?"

"Why is he so generous?"

"Is there some conspiracy?"

The children of the noble families were filled with doubts and puzzlement. They whispered to each other and discussed in low voices, not even bothering to look at the expression of the Champion Marquis.

However, Su Yao did not argue with them. He continued his impassioned speech as if he had not heard their comments:

"Everyone, I am not an unkind person."

"As local gentry, the development of Hongnong is naturally inseparable from your support and contribution."

“Therefore, I am willing to share this honor and benefit with everyone.”

"As long as everyone can work together and contribute to the prosperity and development of Hongnong, I, Su, will never treat you unfairly!"

hiss--

As soon as Su Yao finished speaking, everyone gasped again.

As they looked at the young and heroic champion on the stage, they couldn't help but feel an inexplicable awe and admiration in their hearts.

It was as if I had met this young man for the first time.

This boy was able to achieve great success in just one year. He must have some extraordinary qualities.

This guy is not only a martial arts superman, but also seems to have his own unique way of political tactics.

Immediately afterwards, someone responded:
"Since the Champion Marquis is so generous, how can we fall behind?"

A clear voice, like a stream of fresh air, instantly broke the silence on the field:

"I am willing to contribute funds on behalf of my Yang family to support your road construction and reconstruction work!"

The voice of the Yang family representative echoed in the viewing platform, attracting people's attention and curious looks.

This is not only because of the Yang family's status as the head of the Hongnong family, but also because they are very clear that the head of the Yang family, Yang Biao, has been taken away by Dong Zhuo, and there should be no real person in charge of the Yang family here.

As a result, everyone looked at it in amazement.

Unexpectedly, the person who spoke was Yang Xiu, the eldest son of the Yang family, who was only fourteen years old.

This young man directly bypassed his uncle who brought him here and was the first to respond to Su Yao's call.

He stood on the viewing stand with a firm gaze and a clear and powerful voice, as if he had a maturity and confidence that transcended his age.

Su Yao responded very positively to his leading response, and directly stated that he would record his merits and reward him handsomely in the future.

Upon seeing this, the other children of the noble families also came to their senses and expressed their support.

"My Liu family is also willing to invest and support the great cause of Champion Marquis!"

"My Wang family is willing to contribute manpower and manpower to assist in road repair and reconstruction work!"

"I, Geng, am also willing..."

For a moment, the viewing stand was bustling with activity, and the children of aristocratic families expressed their support for Su Yao's proposal.

They all knew that it was probably inevitable that the Champion Marquis would rule here, so the only way now was to establish a good relationship with him as soon as possible so that they could gain a firm foothold in Hongnong County in the future.

Soon, Su Yao not only got the money for building and rebuilding roads, but also made up for the shortage of military funds and food.

Next, Su Yao asked Jia Xu to temporarily take over the position of the prefect of Hongnong to help him manage the rear and work with Zhen Jiang to ensure smooth logistics.

After doing all this, his army finally set out again, heading directly for Tongguan in the west.

It was the last checkpoint to Chang'an in the west, and also the last line of defense of Dong Zhuo's forces in front of him.

Su Yao knew that in order to completely defeat Dong Zhuo, he had to take Tongguan. Only in this way could he completely open up the road between Luoyang and Chang'an and enter the vast Guanzhong Plain.

So, Su Yao led the army and marched towards Tongguan in a mighty manner.

Along the way, the local people had heard about the performance of Marquis Guanjun in Hongnong City. Su Yao's strict military discipline and his failure to harm anyone immediately won him praise and support from the people along the way.

Wherever Su Yao's army went, the people opened their doors to welcome them, provided food and supplies, and offered logistical support for the army. Some even took the initiative to express their willingness to serve as vanguards and lead the army in this harsh winter.

All this made Su Yao and other visitors from Kanto feel the pleasure of playing at home.

Su Yao accepted all the people's offers of service, and after receiving supplies and help, he also paid compensation.

This caused the people to cheer, and the army smoothly shuttled through the dangerous roads in the valley, approaching their destination step by step.

"what?!"

“Are they going to fight as far as Tongguan?”

"How could it be so fast!"

"Waste, they are all a bunch of waste!"

Suburbs of Chang'an.

Before Dong Zhuo, who had fled hastily from Luoyang, had time to enter the city to catch his breath, he received news that Su Yao's army in the rear had attacked again.

This guy, Dong Zhuo was furious.

Along the way, bad news from the rear came one after another.

It would have been fine if General Xu Rong had died in battle and had not helped him to hold out for long, but he personally allocated elite soldiers to his nephew Dong Huang and asked him to guard Hangu Pass, the first of the eight passes!

As a result, the Hangu Pass was breached in one day, and the Zhonglang General Duan Wei was so afraid of the enemy that he abandoned Hongnong without a fight.

Dong Zhuo immediately wrote a letter to angrily criticize Duan Wei for his incompetence and to hold him accountable.

As a result, Duan Wei not only refused to plead guilty, but instead stood up and advised him.

They said that the small city of Hongnong was not strong enough to defend, so it would be better to concentrate the troops and retreat to the natural barrier of Tongguan to block Su Yao's attack.

Moreover, Duan Wei also said that seeing that Su Yao was brutal and murderous, and treated the noble families harshly, if he gave up Hongnong this time, it would definitely intensify the conflict between him and the Hongnong family and lead to mutual opposition.

As a result, Su Yao was trapped in the internal affairs of Hongnong and it was difficult for him to move westward, while they stayed in Tongguan and could advance and retreat freely.

Although Dong Zhuo did not completely believe this statement at the time, he still acquiesced to the matter after being persuaded by Li Ru, and asked Duan Wei and General Dong Yue stationed in Tongguan to ensure the local defense.

Then Dong Zhuo quickly marched westward and headed straight for Chang'an.

However, Dong Zhuo did not expect that he had not even seen the city gate of Chang'an!
Later on, there was news saying that Su Yao had pacified Hongnong, killed a large group of local noble families, and was setting off again with his knives sharpened?
Their troops marched straight to Tongguan and had an unimpeded advance all the way!
When Dong Zhuo heard the bad news, his face turned pale and his eyes almost spit fire.

His close associates were also silent and no one dared to offend him.

However, Dong Zhuo was a hero who rose to prominence through military achievements. After a brief moment of anger, he quickly forced himself to calm down and resolve the problem.

"Does Wenyou have any good ideas?"

Dong Zhuo held Li Ru down:
"If that Su thief comes and breaks through Tongguan, we will have no way to retreat!"

Li Ru frowned, thought for a moment and then said slowly:

"Mr. Dong, the current situation is indeed critical, but there is no need to panic."

"Tongguan is the most strategically located pass in the world, easy to defend but difficult to attack, and even more precipitous than Hangu Pass!"

"And now, Generals Duan Wei and Dong Yue are stationed there with their own troops. If we order them to hold their ground, even if Su Yao is very brave, he will not be able to break through easily."

"However, we cannot just rely on defending. We must take the initiative and look for opportunities to defeat the enemy."

"Is there still a chance to defeat the enemy?"

Dong Zhuo heard this, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes, and he quickly asked:
"Wenyou, what brilliant idea do you have? Tell me quickly!"

"This plan is very simple."

Li Ru took a deep breath and clasped his hands and said:

"Please ask Lord Dong to confer titles on Ma Teng, Han Sui, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others!"

"What does Wenyou mean?" Dong Zhuo looked confused.
