This time, Dong Zhuo took the initiative to ask Jia Xu, and after several such inquiries, he also learned that Jia Xu was a man who frequently devised treacherous schemes.
Sometimes even Li Ru had to admit defeat, so Dong Zhuo really hoped that Jia Xu could help him come up with strategies.
"My lord," Jia Xu said, "I believe that we should not engage the Yellow Turban Army in a direct confrontation at this time. We should instead use strategy to outmaneuver them."
"Oh? Wenhe, tell me quickly!" Dong Zhuo asked eagerly.
Jia Xu asked, "Does my lord dare to allow the world to descend into chaos?"
Upon hearing this, Dong Zhuo's expression changed instantly, and the world descended into chaos.
"Go on!"
"Last time, those who quelled the Yellow Turban rebels were made kings. This time, my lord, you can make kings of all the lords!" Jia Xu said sinisterly.
"To be granted the title of king?"
If a king is appointed, all the other feudal lords will unite to attack him.
But if they were all made kings, that would be different. After all, everyone has ambitions, and who wouldn't want to go further?
Take the Yuan family for example. Four generations of them held high office, and at most, they could achieve four high office in five generations, but that was about it.
But if one is made a king, then it's a different story.
A king has the right to establish his own government, especially in times of chaos, where the value of a king is even higher.
If everyone were made a king, then the world would truly descend into chaos!
"But what does this have to do with dealing with the Yellow Turban rebels?"
Dong Zhuo was puzzled. If they were all made kings, then there would be even less people to deal with the Yellow Turban rebels.
The emperor in his hands became nothing more than a figurehead, completely useless.
"Hehe, once these lords accept the titles of king bestowed upon them by you, it means they have recognized your status and, more importantly, they have recognized the Han Dynasty!"
"If you don't obey orders when the time comes, you will lose sight of the greater good!"
Gaining a moral high ground was highly valued in this era; otherwise, Cao Cao wouldn't have risked his life to lead his troops on a tour outside Luoyang and garnered enough fame.
"Wenhe, you're truly amazing! That move of cutting off the enemy's supply lines was brilliant!"
P.S.: As I mentioned before, if someone guessed who the mastermind was, I would update ten chapters in a row. And a reader actually guessed it back then. I can only say that's amazing!
Updating ten chapters at once is a bit difficult, but!!! In June, I'm going to update 10,000 words a day, which is five chapters, for a whole month! Please keep an eye on me! I'm going all out!
