Cultivation in the starry sky

Chapter 507
Just after the Spring Festival, Dong Zhuo invited people to go to the council in his mansion.

The magnificent hall is filled with braziers. Although it is winter, there is no chill in this hall.

Dong Zhuo still sat at the top with a rich face.

The first person sitting under Dong Zhuo's left hand was Li Ru, this person was Dong Zhuo's number one confidant, and everyone in the Xiliang army knew this very well.

And Xiao Ziyu was ranked under Li Ru, which surprised many people. You must know that this seat is not something that can be taken casually.

For Xiao Ziyu to be able to achieve this position, obviously the meaning is very obvious. Among the civil servants under Dong Zhuo's account, he is undoubtedly the second.

Of course, although some people were surprised, they were soon relieved.

They knew this person, and although they seldom came to Dong Zhuo's mansion for council meetings, they understood that this person's contributions were not comparable to those of them.

The improvement of armor, stirrups, crossbows, and iron weapons are all wrong actions to increase the strength of the army. A single item can be reused by Dong Zhuo, let alone so many items.

And not only in the army, but also in agriculture, they also saw the ability of this man. The farming method first proposed surprised many people present.

After understanding this method of garrisoning fields, everyone also knew this method of garrisoning fields, which greatly promoted the food and grass of their army.

At the same time, he also improved the agricultural planting methods. After a year of experimentation, the grain harvest has increased by [-]% compared to before, which is a remarkable figure.

Think about how many fields he has under Dong Zhuo's command, this increases the harvest by [-]%, and how much more food and grass can be harvested.

"The three armies have not moved, and the food and grass go first." It can be seen how important the food and grass are to the army. For this alone, his contribution is greater than the sky.

Even in Luoyang City, the common people called Xiao Ziyu "the current Shennong".

For these two items, military and agricultural contributions, Li Ru is the only one who ranks alongside him in the entire Xiliang army.

And because of Li Ru's seniority, no one dared to deny that Xiao Ziyu was the number two under Dong Zhuo's account at this time.

Even that Lu Bu who was still in Xuzhou didn't dare to get angry with Xiao Ziyu now.

Under Xiao Ziyu was the scheming Jia Xu, followed by Guo Jia, and the rest were either Dong Zhuo's old ministers or the talents recruited by the recruitment order.

Now Dong Zhuo's civil servants and counselors are no longer like before. The counselors under his account are not like clouds, but they don't need to be weaker than other princes.

Come to think of it, Li Ru, Jia Xu, Guo Jia and even Xi Zhicai in Yanzhou were all top strategists in the late Han Dynasty.

Which one can help the core of one party's princes, so Dong Zhuo's counselors are already luxurious.

Not only the counselors, but also the generals, Dong Zhuo has also improved a lot. Now the first person sitting on Dong Zhuo's right hand is Hua Xiong.

Of course, it doesn't mean that he is now the number one general under Dong Zhuo's account, but because Lu Bu and Xu Rong are both outside, Hua Xiong can now take the number one position.

Lu Bu is now Dong Zhuo's veritable No. [-] general, and Xu Rong is Dong Zhuo's most trusted handsome talent.

Otherwise, he would not let the other party guard Xiliang. You must know that Xiliang is Dong Zhuo's stronghold, and Xu Rong is the only one who is most at ease.

Apart from these two, Hua Xiong achieved this position because of his senior qualifications and strong strength. Further down, there are those old people from Xiliang, such as Guo Si and Li Jue.

Of course, there are also some new faces, such as the veteran with a calm face and full hair, even an old man in his sixties.

But none of the people here dared to underestimate this old man.Because he knew the old man's strength, if the generals wanted to recognize each other, they would have to fight.

And this old man was of course no exception. After a great battle, in the entire Xiliang army, except for the parachutist Lu Bu who claimed to be the number one military general in the world, no one else could catch the old man's fifty moves.

In the end, even the parachutist made a move. The two fought hundreds of moves, but it seemed that they were evenly divided.

From then on, all Xiliang's army knew that this old man was also a "God of War" figure, with boundless force.

For this result, Dong Zhuo was the happiest.For the fierce general, he is very happy now, and now he has a fierce general who is not weaker than Lu Bu, even though he looks like an old man, he is older than him.

But Dong Zhuo didn't suggest it, because he knew that the old man was very powerful, and it was enough to help him a lot.

At the same time, of course he would not forget Xiao Ziyu, because the old man was able to join him thanks to Xiao Ziyu's means.

Not only this old man, but also other generals, such as the red-faced youth, who looked like the young version of Second Master Guan.

"Huang Zhong, Dian Wei, Wei Yan, Gan Ning, Xu Huang, Zhou Tai,..."

Those new faces opposite Xiao Ziyu, Xiao Ziyu also smiled slightly, and now Dong Zhuo's account is really full of talents.

In terms of counselors and generals alone, no prince can compare with Dong Zhuo.Even the Yuan brothers of the four generations and three lords combined may not be as good as Dong Zhuo.

With these counselors and generals, Dong Zhuo is more likely to seize the world.

"Wen You, what's the situation in Xuzhou?" Dong Zhuo sat on the top and asked expressionlessly.

"Reporting to Xiangguo, General Lu has gained the upper hand in Xuzhou. I believe that after the spring, the army will continue to attack. Cao Cao will not be able to hold on for long."

Li Ru stood up and responded simply.

"Hmph! Didn't he, Lu Fengxian, say before he set off that he would take Xuzhou down for me in only three months? How come he hasn't even taken down one-third of Xuzhou in half a year? What a waste!"

Dong Zhuo ignored Li Ru, he knew the situation in Xuzhou very well, and he was also very clear about the damage caused by Lu Bu's arrogance at the beginning.

That's why he was angry.

I sent you a military adviser myself, but you didn't use it. Not only that, but you lost the battle in the end.How can this not make Dong Zhuo angry.

If it wasn't for the last two months when Lu Bu changed his mind and began to listen to Guo Jia's strategy, Dong Zhuo might really have recruited this guy. ,
Now there are more military generals under his account, but he is no longer the only one who can use Lu Bu.So he no longer wanted to favor Lu Bu as he used to.

After all, Lu Bu became more and more presumptuous in the army, and became more and more defiant, which made Dong Zhuo a little unhappy.

Hearing Dong Zhuo lose his temper, all the people present were silent and silent, because they knew that Xuzhou still had to rely on Lu Bu to attack.

After all, Lu Bu did not make any major mistakes, and he is still the number one general in Xiliang.Others dare not say anything.

Of course there are people who gloat over there, needless to say, only that prodigal Guo Fengxiao.

"How is Yanzhou, how many troops have been confiscated?" Dong Zhuo returned to his original expression after losing his temper indiscriminately.

"Reporting to Xiangguo, Zhicai sent a message that 20 troops have been conscripted, and they are now undergoing continuous training. I believe that in half a year, these 20 troops will be able to fight for Xiangguo on the battlefield."

Li Ru said with a smile on his face.
