Chapter 116 Handsome General [Chapter Three]
Dong Hu smiled bitterly and said, "Our Huwa and the generals around him cannot pee in the same pot. Only the eldest son becomes his uncle's left and right hands. After having more say with his uncle, we can run out of the Hehuang Valley under his uncle's nod, and in the future we can fight for his uncle or the Han Dynasty. Perhaps we can also be granted the title of marquis or something."
"It is more in line with our tiger baby's wishes to let the eldest son lead the troops to fight."
Dong Mao drank a sip of tea and nodded and smiled: "It is indeed as Huwa said, asking you to lead troops to fight, even if you make contributions in the Central Plains, it will only make the court or father afraid. In the end, you can only return to Xining City again, which is of no use."
Dong Hu nodded and smiled bitterly: "We replaced Shaodangqiang. It is a lucky thing to go to the Central Plains to not die in the Central Plains. If you make a contribution, you will be even more bullish on the scalp. It is purely because you can't do your best!"
"But Fatty Li had to commit suicide at this critical moment, and he had to force the people of Lintao to rebel!"
"The people of Lintao have only two opportunities to survive. One is that we will bring people back to the Hehuang Valley immediately and will not ask about anything from now on. The other is that they will make meritorious service and atone for their sins. The only one who can take them to make meritorious service and atone for their sins is our tiger baby. Even my uncle... I am afraid it will be difficult for them to believe..."
"Damn Fatty Li is so harmful to others. He has harmed us and you, you, the eldest son..."
Dong Mao sighed in his heart, took Dong Hu's teacup, poured him a cup of tea...
"Brother has already told my father that I will go to Xining City, Huwa, you lead the troops to Hedong, and... As you said, the Taiping Road Zhang Jiao rebelled, and a man named Tang Zhou told the court."
"When my brother came, the court had already determined the commander of the army. Empress He's brother He Jin was appointed as the general, and led the left and right Yulin to station in Duting Pavilion. At the same time, the commander was set up in the eight passes of Hangu, Taigu, Guangcheng, Yique, Yiyuan, Arc deputies, Mengjin, and Xiaopingjin.
"He Jin led the eight gate commanders to defend the Luoyang capital, Lu Zhi was appointed as the General of the Northern Central Army to fight against the bandits in Jizhou; Huangfu Song was appointed as the General of the Left Central Army, and Zhu Jun was appointed as the General of the Right Central Army, and led the Five Battalions of the Northern Army to fight against the bandits in Henan."
Dong Mao also said: "As Huwa said, the civil and military officials of the court did not agree to his father to lead the troops to quell the rebellion, but his father also served as the governor of Bingzhou and the prefect of Hedong with the support of the inner court, to prevent the Huns from taking the opportunity to invade Bingzhou, and to defend against the thieves in Bingzhou and Hedong to rebel and rebellion."
Dong Hu was silent for a moment and smiled inexplicably.
"No matter what, it's good for my uncle to become the governor of Bingzhou. Maybe my uncle doesn't need us to go with his brave soldiers in Bingzhou."
Dong Mao frowned slightly and said, "Huwa, can my father really use Bingzhou soldiers to fight?"
...
Dong Hu frowned for a while and said, "My uncle is worried about not having strong soldiers. Please see, the eldest son. Lu Zhi was appointed as the General of the North Central Army. Although Lu Zhi pacified the Jiujiang Barbarians in Jiangnan, he was from Youzhou. The Lu family is a famous family in Youzhou. It is no problem to recruit some brave soldiers in Youzhou. Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun were commanded by the Fifth Battalion of the Northern Army. The combat power is still uncertain, but the Fifth Battalion of the Northern Army is the best equipped soldiers in the Empire."
"In other words, Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song and Zhu Yi all have thousands of core brave generals and soldiers, but what about the uncle? His uncle only has a thousand Yi Cong in Huangzhong. Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song and Zhu Yi are all famous scholars in the clear stream. Even though Zhu Yi was born in a poor family, he was accepted by scholars. Therefore, the wealthy families of various aristocratic families will not only not pull themselves back, but will continue to send counselors, strong generals, and strong families to the three. When these three people faced the rebellion of the people with no combat experience, it was not surprising that they won a great victory. If they were defeated, that would be surprising!"
"The rebellion of Taiping Road involves the Huaihe River, Henan, Hebei, and Shandong's fertile plains. These are places where wealthy families gather. There are some powerful families in each aristocratic family. When the families continue to reinforce Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, it is not surprising that the three of them win. The only advantage of the rebels is that they have sufficient numbers. When the initial rebellion was rebelling, they were in a strong morale. At the beginning, they could compete with the court, but when the rebels suffered a blow, their morale was difficult to last. In the end, they would definitely be defeated by Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, who were constantly reinforced by Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun."
Dong Hu said: "The emperor must be panicked and he must have someone to quell the rebellion. If Duan Bing is not dead, the emperor may not use the civil and military affairs of the outer court, and the inner court will dominate the rebellion. However, there are not many generals available in the inner court, so he can only use the civil and military affairs of the outer court who have been repeatedly suppressed. He can only pardon the imprisoned party members. The outer court will also take the opportunity to try his best to control the power and suppress the inner court."
"Suppressing the inner court is actually suppressing the imperial power to a certain extent. You must know that Wang Mang, who usurped the Han Dynasty, was not the eunuch of the inner court, but also the general Liang Ji, as well as the general Dou Wu and the Grand Tutor Chen Fan whom His Majesty personally experienced, were not the eunuchs of the inner court. Once the civil and military officials of the outer court have mastered the power of the world, it is extremely dangerous for the emperor."
"So, when the outer court takes advantage of this rebellion and seizes power, the inner court will definitely stumbling against Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song, and Zhu Jun and pull back. Once the three of them are in the upper hand due to the number of rebels and their morale is in full swing, they will continue to impeach them. The emperor will also take the opportunity to replace one or two generals for the sake of his future life, and this is the opportunity for his uncle."
Dong Hu smiled bitterly again: "The eunuchs do not want the civil and military officials of the foreign court to obtain all the rights. As long as the uncle shows his intentions, the inner court will support his uncle as the head coach. However, the uncle has only one thousand core elites. In order to suppress the inner court, the wealthy families of various aristocratic families will definitely keep pulling their legs. If at this time, if no one supports him, defeat will be inevitable."
"My uncle's biggest weakness is that the elite soldiers are not as good as Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, and there are no firm supporters behind the power. Now, my uncle has the support of his descendants and eunuchs in the inner court, and he has become the governor of Bingzhou. He can draw some elite Bingzhou soldiers, and two shortcomings can be made up. However,... the elite soldiers of Bingzhou are elite. After all, they are fighting with the Xiongnu and Xianbei people. It is just that my uncle is too short to serve as the governor of Bingzhou, and it is difficult to be united in a short period of time. However, my uncle has also worked in Bingzhou, and it is hard to say whether my uncle can be recognized by the soldiers of Bingzhou in a short period of time. If he is recognized by the soldiers of Bingzhou, whether Huwa will help him or not is probably not a big problem."
Dong Hu also scratched his head, and he was unable to determine whether Dong Zhuo could be recognized by Bingzhou in a short time. After all, in what he knew, Dong Zhuo did conquer Lu Bu's in a short time, and then annexed the Bingzhou army led by Ding Yuan in a short time.
When he heard the three people in Dong Mao's words, "Huangfu Song, Lu Zhi, and Zhu Jun", he was not surprised at all. In the truth we knew, they were indeed the first to lead the army to quell the rebellion. But after hearing the "Governor of Bingzhou", he became uncertain, uncertain whether he still had to lead 15,000 people into the Central Plains.
Hua Xiong's eyes flashed with surprise as he heard these words, but Dong Mao looked as usual. As for the boys and girls in the room, they still did what they should do if they were unaware of anything.
"My uncle became the governor of Bingzhou. We don't know what to do. Should we continue to stay in Lintao or return to Xining City? Our Huwa made his own decision to distribute land to the villagers..."
Dong Hu scratched his head and kept dividing the land. The basis for the distribution of land was that 5,000 Lintao men went to the Central Plains to make meritorious contributions. Only by making merits and not having any rewards can the court stop pursuing the killing of officials and rebellion, and allow these people to occupy the land. Otherwise, Li Shen, the prefect of Longxi County, would not be easy to pass!
Looking at Dong Hu scratching his head again, Dong Mao knew that he was really hesitant, so he pushed the teacup in front of him and said with a smile: "I think so much, and I've come here. I'll send the memorial to plead guilty and suppress the rebellion first, so that the court can make a choice."
Dong Hu was about to nod, but remembered something again and said, "Five thousand soldiers who made meritorious service were cutting trees on the mountain. Huwa had already asked Liu Zhengwei... to be the grandson of Liu Suan, the King of Qinghe."
"A few days ago, Lieutenant Liu had already sent letters to Jincheng Pass, Ji County, and Luoyang. We also asked Uncle Zhong to take the letter to Hedong. If we want to get specific information from the court, it will probably take about half a month."
Dong Mao was stunned and then understood what he wanted to do. He couldn't help but nod and said, "Yes, if Captain Liu presided over the 5,000 Lintao soldiers, not only would Lintao be guilty of being a little less guilty, but he would also get the support of the royal family Liu, which would also be of great benefit to his father."
Dong Hu scratched his head and said, "This is a coincidence. If Xia Yu, the captain of the Qiang, had asked Lao Liu to be our Sima, we wouldn't have thought of this."
Thinking of the headache-inducing problem, Dong Hu sighed, "When we came out, we had already returned Yunwu City to Dr. Cai. When the eldest son went to Hehuang Valley, he could just go directly to Xining City. We have already explained it carefully to Da Ya, San Ya and the others, but my sister-in-law's place... I hope the eldest son will say that he will be with Yi Er, so that my sister-in-law will blame us."
Dong Mao waved his hand and sighed, "Father-in-law is seeking death, no one can stop him. Huwa, you can lead troops to protect the Lintao villagers. I have made up for my Dong family. My mother will not blame him."
The two brothers looked at each other and smiled helplessly again, all of whom had no choice but to die for Li Kuan and Fatty Li.
Dong Hu smiled bitterly and said, "Our Huwa offended his sister-in-law completely... I just hope that his sister-in-law will not be too sad because of this."
After shook his head and sighed, he looked up at Hua Xiong again.
"Huaxiong, do you want to be Sima by our side, or do you want to be the deputy to Liu Xiaowei and lead five thousand Lintao Erlang?"
"You know, we originally wanted you to be the deputy of the eldest son and lead tens of thousands of soldiers, but the situation changed."
Seeing that Hua Xiong didn't know how to answer, Dong Hu said again: "Whether you are Sima or Liu's deputy, you are actually under our command. The only difference is that the five thousand Lintao Erlang is not trained enough and can only serve as a baggage soldier for the time being, not the main combat soldier."
"Although it seems that it is difficult for the baggage troops to achieve great achievements on the battlefield, you should know one thing: even if the eldest son commands the ten thousand soldiers and you Hua Xiong as the deputy, even if you directly lead the ten thousand soldiers, Dongbu Yisong, no matter how great the military achievements you have achieved, it will be lower than the uncle and the eldest son. Even if the uncle has made great contributions, the court will suppress it. In this way, the military achievements that fall on you will become that."
"But, as a general, there is a difference between commanding 500, 2000, and 10000 troops. A general who can command more than one battalion of troops is one battalion. Those who can command thousands of troops are the generals, and those who can command thousands of troops are the generals. Those who do not make any contributions are nothing. The key is ability!"
