Chapter 122 United Front [Chapter Three]
Dong Hu and Dong Mao are like good friends and brothers. Their relationship is not as bloody as they play on TV. There is nothing to fight first, and then they cherish each other's heroes. Their past is like drinking cold and the level of being light.
Dong Mao is a dull person, Dong Hu is more lively. Dong Mao likes to sit in a sheep restaurant without any trouble. He listens to Dong Hu talking about something happening on the road to sell salt, listens to him talking about interesting things happening outside, and says that his younger brother and sister are naughty and not good at studying hard. He says that there are a few beggars in the dilapidated temple outside the city, and the money and food he finally earns are gone, and he becomes a bare-butt and pauper again...
Dong Hu occasionally wonders why the two became friends?
mercy?
Dong Hu felt that he should be the one who was pityed. No matter how Dong Mao was, he still had parents, but he was an orphan.
pity?
With so many beggars and sisters, who should not sympathize with? There are so many people in the world who can sympathize with you. Will a guy who is worried about eating and drinking all day long sympathize with a rich family? Will a rich family with a bad legs and feet?
Dong Hu once thought about this question seriously, but later he realized that both of them were lonely people, as if they were invisible estrangements from this world, and they were all orphans of the world.
The two brothers drank all night. On the third day, Dong Mao took only a few people to the west, before leaving...
"Brother has been thinking about it for a day, but we still like Huwa, you call us the eldest son."
"Ha ha……"
Dong Mao laughed westward, Dong Hu didn't say anything about taking care of his family, and there were some things that didn't need to worry about.
The war is about to go, and everything that should be prepared is almost the same, but it is not easy for a large army to go to war, especially after all.
Dong Hu came to the old men from all villages and, in front of the new county magistrate and the lieutenant, repeatedly made it clear that the fields in Lintao County belonged to him. If anyone was dissatisfied, he would do it. He would carry anything if he had anything to do.
After facing the life and death threat he issued, the Li family became much more honest during this period. Not only Didao's Li family, but also Han Sui, the Qiang people in all counties were very honest. Dong Hu knew what these bastards were thinking, and planned to follow their wishes. As for the future...
"snort!"
Dong Hu snorted coldly, no one in the central army tent dared to speak.
"Prince Liu has read the letter from Eunuch Guo. This is the matter. Let's briefly explain the meaning expressed in the letter. You all express your opinions."
Dong Hu picked up the command scepter and a three-foot bamboo pole.
"Excluding what happened in Lintao, I also want to lead troops into the Central Plains to quell the rebellion. I won't mention the national justice and other things. Let's only talk about personal interests today."
Liu Sheng couldn't help but look up, and when he saw Dong Hu, he quickly lowered his head, but his ears stood up straight.
"Today, those who can be called the four words "Pillar General" by the Han Dynasty can have a glimpse of the four generals who have quelled the rebellion in this court."
"Lu Zhi, the general of the Northern Central Army, and Lu Zigan of Zhuo County, was a top scholar in the world in terms of knowledge. In terms of martial arts, this man served as the prefect of Lujiang twice and quelled the rebellion of Jiujiang twice."
"The Right General Zhu Ye, Zhu Gongwei, Kuaiji, and in the first year of Guanghe, Zhu Ye led seven counties of Jiaozhou to defeat Lianglong, the barbarians of Jiaozhou, and rebelled against Kong Zhi, and the 50,000 thieves. Jiaozhou began to be safe from this."
"No need to mention the left general Huangfu Song and uncle Dong Zhuo, they are all our Xiliang generals."
Dong Hu walked slowly among the two rows of generals with a small bamboo pole...
"The country is righteous and so on, there is no need to say much about this, but under the country is righteous, there are many selfish interests, such as... no one does not want to be a marquis and ministers, no one does not want their hometown to be full of talents, and no one does not want the family members to praise after returning home..."
"For example, the letter sent by Eunuch Guo..."
"Lu Zhi, the general of the Northern Central Army, and the general of the Wuhuan lieutenant, are all from Youzhou."
"The left general Huangfu Song is from Anding County, and the army under his name is Sima Fu Xie from Beidi County. Although he is not a fellow villager, Huangfu Song was the prefect of Beidi County before."
"The Right General Zhu Jun is from Kuaiji, Jiangnan. Although Sima Zhang Chao is from Hejian, his subordinate Sima Sun Jian is from Wujun."
"We won't talk about who are around my uncle, you know it."
Dong Hu walked behind Sun Niu and knocked his big head with a bamboo pole twice with a bamboo stick.
"One person can achieve enlightenment, and a chicken and a dog can become an immortal."
"Hei Niu was just a man of Lintao two years ago. He was not worth mentioning. He was not a man who was huddled in the corner to bask in the sun! But after joining the mercenary, he was the squadron leader and the captain of the brigade. After we killed Lang Meng, we became two thousand battalions. After taking over the Hehuang Valley, we became five thousand battalions... Although we have left Yunwu City now, who dares to say whether we will be granted a marquis for our merits after the rebellion in the Central Plains this time, or become a prefect of a county?"
When Sun Niu heard that his lord praised him again, he was very proud to raise his chest high, but he did not dare to speak casually before Dong Hu's speech was over.
"You are the commander of the general, deputy general, and captain of the brigade. In a sense, I am the general under my uncle. According to the rules of the officialdom, if my uncle's position is not promoted, I will not be able to make any progress. You can only stand still."
"Of course, we are still young, and we have been in the army for a short time. We have little experience in the army. We need more experience and more combat experience. Only when we have enough skills can we gain a foothold and go further."
Dong Hu said: "When the general noticed that the Yellow Turban thieves were rebelling, we were not optimistic about my uncle leading the troops to join the war. I won't say more about the specific reasons, and you already know them."
"We just said that according to the principle of progressive officialdom, the future height of our Lintao generals depends on the height of our uncle. If the uncle is defeated and is idle again, we may be the same as our uncle and have been mediocre for twenty years, so sending troops to help our uncle is also helping us."
"The first reason for our troops is the national justice, the second reason is to help our uncle undefeated or win, and it is also to help ourselves. The third reason is to increase your experience in battle and increase your military experience and qualifications. This reason is very important, and it is also the main reason why we want to bring you all out."
Dong Hu said: "According to our estimates, we only need to bring out four or five deputy generals, two cavalry deputy generals, two deputy generals, and two deputy generals of the supervisor and the chief envoy of the baggage. Five deputy generals are enough, but we don't want any of you to fall behind. I hope you can all become our Liangzhou boss, so we will all call out."
Dong Hu said again: "A person cannot eat a fat man in one bite, nor can he raise his legs to cross a thousand miles. The three most important purposes this time have been achieved, such as quelling the rebellion, restoring peace in the world, helping his uncle obtain merits, and increasing your experience in fighting against the enemy."
"As long as these three goals are achieved, whether the court will give official positions, rights, status, and wealth is no longer important."
Dong Hu walked to the coach's throne, picked up the bamboo slips sent by Guo Sheng, and showed them to all the brothers they looked at.
"Did the three purposes of our letters from the root of the root of our goal?"
"I think there is no such thing. My uncle was demoted from the Governor of Bingzhou to the Cavalry Commander. It seems that his position has been demoted a little, but this should be a compromise between the inner court and the outer court."
"You must understand one thing, that is, the wealthy families of my Han Dynasty were all earned by merit, and they were fought on the battlefield! Without fighting on the battlefield, there was no real merit on the battlefield, and even if they became wealthy families, they were still fake families and fake families!"
"So, although my uncle lost the governor of Bingzhou and only retained the prefect of Hedong, he got the opportunity to obtain merits on the battlefield. This condition is not unacceptable."
"The second message on the letter is that the court seems to have asked us to go to Shuofang, Wuyuan, and Yunzhong three counties, but Guo Gong asked us to go to Bingzhou slowly. The purpose is very clear. Guo Gong did not want us to go to the three counties of Hetao, but asked us to send troops to the Central Plains at any time when we go to Bingzhou."
"The letter said that we can raise money and grain by ourselves, and we can earn 60% of the money. Will we go to the three counties of Hetao afterwards. The key points of the Yellow Turban Thiefs' rebellion are Qing, Xu, Ji, Jing, Yan, and Yu are the richest places in the world. Tens of millions of people ravaged the richest prefectures and counties in the Central Plains. How can we plunder less wealth? The inner court helped us solve the troubles behind us, and it was nothing to win them."
Dong Hu looked at the general with a bulging belly...
"I have said everything I should say. If you have any concerns or disagreements, you can say it."
Sun Niu was the first to stand up, as if he had been holding it in for a long time and was waiting for the first place this time. He picked it up with a big fist.
"Our Hei Niu troops have no objection. The lord will do whatever he says! If anyone dares to be dissatisfied, our Hei Niu will not spare him!"
Dong Hu nodded with satisfaction, and Sun Niu shook his big head and sat down proudly, looking at others for a moment of helplessness.
When Dong Hu poured tea to moisten his throat, all the generals lost their previous chest and bulging belly, and they whispered...
After a while, the low buzzing sound gradually subsided, and they sat upright again.
"Person Liu, do you have any opinions?"
Seeing that no one took the initiative to object, Dong Hu took the lead in asking Liu Sheng, the first person on the right, and Liu Sheng quickly stood up and folded his fists.
"The baggage camp can be driven with the army."
Looking at Liu Sheng's careful appearance, Dong Hu couldn't help but smile.
"Although the five thousand Lintao Erlang is a baggage camp, it is also temporary. With the warriors of Xiliang, they will not be worse than the farmers who have been honest for hundreds of years in the Central Plains. Once the enemy and us start a war, they will definitely capture a rebel army as a baggage soldier. The five thousand Erlang will never be different from Dong Buyi. Liu Xiaowei should not underestimate the baggage soldier."
Liu Sheng hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "What the general taught me is that the last general will not dare to be careless."
Dong Hu nodded and asked Liu Sheng to be the commander of the 5,000 Lintao baggage troops. He mainly wanted to gain a good reputation. Moreover, the Qinghe Kingdom was in Jizhou. Dong Buyi went to Bingzhou and the combat area was in Jizhou. With Liu Sheng's example, Liu's family would support him...at least they would not hate him too much.
Thinking of the Liu clan members of the hundreds of vassal states (counties) under Jizhou, Dong Hu looked at Liu Sheng and spoke again.
"We cannot be completely sure what will happen in the future, but Lieutenant Liu is half of our Lintao people. As we said before, one person is a man who has achieved the Tao and is a man from Lintao. If he can help, we will not hesitate to help. If Lieutenant Liu thinks it is appropriate, five thousand Lintao Erlang can use the big banner of the surname "Liu".
"But we can agree that the 5,000 Lintao Erlang can be denied merits and can help Lieutenant Liu restore his ancestors, Prince Qinghe. We can help, but before the end of the rebellion, you must protect the interests of our Lintao people. As for the aftermath, even if Lieutenant Liu takes the blame and stabs the knife in the back, it will be up to you."
Liu Sheng was shocked and stood up and showed his loyalty, but Dong Hu just smiled and waved his hand to stop him.
"Secretary Liu, don't panic. Our Huwa is a particular person. He doesn't like brothers to fight against each other and hide them. Why did the court ask Han Sui to be the prefect of Jincheng County? Isn't it because the court is worried that our Dongbuyicon will become a rebel?"
"Our Huwa doesn't care about these things, and he also agrees with the court's actions. The army is a knife. If you don't install a scabbard, it will easily hurt yourself. For this reason, we don't mind some hostile behaviors of the court, but some things cannot be done, such as what Yuzhong City did, it is not to restrain Dong Buyicon, but to force Dong Buyicon to rebel, and if you do so, you will cross the line."
"Does Magistrate Liu know what we mean?"
Liu Sheng stood up and held his fists, bowed solemnly.
