Chapter 163 Going for the Best Plan (Part 2)
Dong Zhuo's eyes were solemn, and Dong Hu knelt down and bowed his head...
"Don't the court know what 200,000 people mean? Do they really want to see 200,000 people holding weapons?"
"Your Majesty, the eunuchs in the inner court are greedy for Guangzong and are wealthy in Quyang. But if we seize the city, we will definitely suppress them as soon as possible and force our uncle. The uncle may not care about the 200,000 people outside. Even if they disperse, it would be good if the court gave him a marquis of ten thousand households."
"If it were a hundred years ago, or twenty or ten years ago, Huwa would have dispersed all the troops in his hands without hesitation, but now it is different, the world will be in chaos... It is really in chaos."
Dong Hu lowered his head and sighed softly.
"Since the east and west, two weeks ago, since the Qin and Han dynasties, my uncle has seen such a large-scale rebellion by peasants? The Yellow Turban thieves were not rebelling by Qiang people, not the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Wuwan invaded the border and disturbed the Han, not the Yizhou barbarians, Banyan barbarians rebelled, not the Jiujiang barbarians, Jingzhou barbarians, and Jiaozhou barbarians rebelled."
"The Huns, Xianbei, and Wuhuan can be regarded as foreign enemies of the Han Dynasty. It is normal for them to invade borders and disturb the Han Dynasty, because this is the relationship between the Han Dynasty and foreign enemies, and it is normal for each other to fight each other."
"The Qiang people, Yizhou barbarians, Banyan barbarians, Jiujiang barbarians, Jingzhou barbarians, and Jiaozhou barbarians are all remote mountain barbarians. They rebelled because of poverty, difficulties, dissatisfaction with the cap tax of the Han Dynasty and even taxes. The root cause is because of their poor people. These are the problems that the Han Dynasty has always existed for hundreds of years."
"But what about the Yellow Turban Thieves in the Rich Plain? Even if they were bewitched by some people, if they really had no resentment, how could the honest farmers in the Central Plains rebel?"
"Qin unified the Liuhe, and the First Emperor was powerful in the world. However, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were together. Once the First Emperor died, the princes of the world suddenly started to compete for the Central Plains. Although it seems different from today, it seems to be different from today. Today, the Yellow Turban Thieves are almost like Chen Sheng and Wu Guang during the Qin and Han Dynasties. Today, they seem to pacify the thieves, but they fail to wipe out Qingjing. Zhu Yan killed tens of thousands of enemies in Wancheng, but was fled by more than half of them. They either fled west into the Sichuan Mountains, or fled south into the Jingxiang Water Lake, or hid in Yanghuai."
"Zhu Ye is too strict and does not accept the thief surrender, and the thieves who fled into the mountains will definitely not surrender again. It seems peaceful, and it will be repeated in the future. The court must know that this requires the generals of the border like his uncle to guard the thief. His uncle should know the matter of raising the thief. These generals of the Central Plains have always held military and political power for many years, and are those who are incompatible with the eunuchs in the inner court. Once they hold military and political power in one place, how will they be suppressed and held hostage by the inner court? Once your Majesty dies of illness, what will happen to the world?"
Dong Hu didn't know what impact these words would have on Dong Zhuo, but he knew that whether they said or not, Dong Zhuo would instinctively preserve his strength, just as he always controlled a direct army. But in Dong Hu's memory, Zhang Wen, Huangfu Song, Lu Zhi and Zhu Ye were the four of them. Although they commanded thousands of troops, they were in vain in the end, and they were just as empty as the generals of the Han Dynasty. They had the power to recruit soldiers during wartime, and after the war, there were no soldiers.
Dong Zhuo was suppressed for twenty years, and he knew better than anyone else the difference between having soldiers and horses in his hands. No matter whether Dong Hu had or not, Dong Zhuo would instinctively preserve the soldiers and horses in his hands.
Instinct is instinct, but Dong Zhuo is still not sure about the chaos in Dong Hu's words. Moreover, the emperor lived well and was much younger than Dong Zhuo. It is not certain who has lived before.
Frown for a long time...
"Don't just give us a potion! You are so stupid! How can you talk to others randomly?"
"We're going to beat you, are you convinced?"
Dong Hu muttered in a low voice...
"Huwa knew that he had made a mistake, and his uncle beat us... When did we ever feel dissatisfied..."
"snort!"
Dong Zhuo couldn't help but snorted coldly, but he was still unsure of the boy's words...
"You said...it's more beneficial for us to pretend to be grandson now?"
Dong Hu couldn't help but smile bitterly...
"Not only my uncle wants to pretend to be a grandson, but we also want to pretend to be a grandson, but we guess... Within a few months, the old boy Han Sui will likely attack Yunwu City, and the Qiang people will likely rebel again..."
"What?"
Dong Zhuo was startled, then frowned for a moment, and nodded silently.
"Yes, you returned Yunwu City to Cai Boyi. They also unanimously recommended you to the Central Plains with elite troops. It must be because you are behind them, which makes them extremely uncomfortable... No! We have to go to Maoer immediately, and let my son be careful of that old boy Han Sui!"
If Dong Hu didn't speak, Dong Zhuo might not have noticed it, or had noticed it before, but because the Central Plains Pacific occupied most of his energy, he deliberately forgot the matter of the Qiang people. However, this matter is related to the rise again in the future, so he can't be so negligent.
Seeing that Dong Zhuo realized the danger of the Hehuang Valley and wanted to warn his son Dong Mao, Dong Hu hurriedly pulled him.
"Uncle, don't worry too much. Huwa has already explained it clearly when he came. Besides, the eldest son is definitely not a brainless Chen Yi, and he will definitely be careful about the old boy Han Sui."
Dong Hu said again: "If Han Sui rebelled again, he would definitely have stationed heavy troops in Yunwu City to block the Hehuang Valley. However, whether it is blocked or not, his nephew would not be prepared to make the Hehuang Valley fight for the Han Dynasty again, at least in a short period of time."
Dong Zhuo was stunned, and then he understood what Dong Hu wanted to do. He couldn't help but nodded slightly, with another look of disdain.
"Since I want to press us so much, let them press it to see who will be in trouble in the end!"
"snort!"
Dong Zhuo was pressed for twenty years, his heart was like a squeezed ball, and a stubborn and rebellious child. The more he pressed, the more annoyed him, the more he was pressed, the more he was angry, but he was still annoyed that Dong Hu always made a lot of troubles and knocked him on the head again. However, when the uncle and nephew appeared in front of outsiders, they became another way. Apart from a few severe scoldings, they did not continue to punish him, which also made Dong Min, Niu Fu and others look helpless.
Dong Min, Niu Fu dared not talk too much about Dong Hu's affairs. Anyone who didn't say the point would be scolded by Dong Zhuo for anger. After suffering too much loss, he would learn to be smart. For Hu's affairs, it would be better to talk less.
Others didn't know what the uncle and nephew said. Just when Guo Sheng and Gao Wang were a little worried, Dong Hu found Liu Sheng, the commander of the army supervisor, and drew all the 50,000 soldiers from the central army, and gave all the 50,000 soldiers to Liu Sheng, a descendant of the Qinghe King Liu Suan.
There were 100 vassal states (counties) in Jizhou, which were the places where the Liu family members were crowded. However, like other dynasties that Dong Hu knew to suppress the royal family, the Han Dynasty also suppressed the royal family very much, so that although there were many royal princes, they were famous. If it weren't for Liu Yan's report on some matters about the state governor later, Liu Yan, Liu Yu, and Liu Biao would not have thought of becoming the state governor, and it would be even more impossible to become a real prince in the place.
There are many kings and princes in Jizhou, but the real power is in the hands of the prime minister. It would be better if the world is not in chaos. Once the world changes greatly, if the prime minister wants to defeat the royal family of the Liu family in one fell swoop, it will definitely be no more difficult than catching a chicken.
But if Liu Sheng had 50,000 soldiers in his hand, it would be different. Even if 50,000 soldiers remained in Qinghe County and became a farmer, he only needed a greeting and pulled up 10,000 or 20,000 people. With the help of soldiers who fought several battles and the help of hundreds of royal princes, no matter who wants to truly master Jizhou, it would not be too easy.
Dong Hu came to Liu Sheng and made a secret discussion to make him truly master 50,000 troops. He first dug a hole for Yuan Shao in advance, and see how he dealt with a loyal and loyal royal family in the Han Dynasty!
He threw the 100,000-year-old army to Dong Zhuo. Anyway, he was a mess, and it was nothing wrong to mess around again. The 200,000 army suddenly accelerated and rushed towards Xiaquyang where Zhang Bao was holding...
In mid-September, Dong Hu led a 100,000 army to Xiaquyang first. On the first day, he circled around the city and only allowed 100,000 prisoners to persuade them to surrender outside the city for one day, and on the second day...
"kill--"
Fifty thousand soldiers attacked Dongcheng for half a day without regard for casualties. The soldiers climbed the city several times and were expelled. However, due to Dong Hu's attack without regard for casualties, Zhang Bao was forced to continuously draw troops from other cities. The two sides fought fiercely for a day. As the evening approached, another 50,000 soldiers suddenly attacked Nancheng without regard for casualties. In just half an hour, the East City was defeated...
"General, hurry up... retreat to the west city-"
A brave man wrapped in a yellow scarf roared and rushed towards Dong Chong with an axe.
"Kill the dog thief--"
The brave man roared, which immediately attracted Dong Chong's attention, but he did not roar to the sky. He rushed towards the axe with two hand hammers. He was shocked by his hundreds of armored people. He suddenly roared and waved his hand hammer to follow him...
"kill--"
"when--"
The explosion made Dong Chongwei turn his body, and the sharp axe passed by, without waiting for the big man to change his tricks and chop back...
"Bang!"
Dong Chong hit the man's lower abdomen with one knee. Another collision made the man who wanted to bend over because of the pain. The sledgehammer in his hand fell down at the same time...
"die--"
"puff!"
The hand hammer hit the defenseless head heavily, killing one general with just one blow, but Dong Chong's steps did not stop.
"kill--"
Dong Chong personally led a thousand armored soldiers and bravely climbed to the top of the city. Countless soldiers and ants behind him shouted, and countless soldiers climbed up to the top of the city crazily. In just a moment, the city was full of Dong Buyi Cong's armored soldiers.
"Surrender and not kill—"
Dong Chong roared, countless soldiers roared, countless yellow turbans were running towards the west city, or they threw away their feces forks and knelt on the ground with their hands high, and shouted in confusion in their mouths and surrendered...
A layer after layer of corpses were piled under the city. A day after 50,000 troops attacked the city. After Dong Chong captured the Nancheng, which was insufficient in troops, the Dongcheng, which was defending the yellow scarf, finally collapsed, and countless soldiers scattered like headless flies.
Watching countless soldiers rush into the city, the injured Zhang Bao spit out a mouthful of blood again...
"The sky...the sky is dead..."
Zhang Bao was full of tears, and the collapsed belief was like a heart-eating poisonous snake biting the fragile heart. Tang Zhou's complaint, brother's death...
"Huang Tiandao--"
Zhang Bao roared hard, blood gushed out of his mouth, still roaring to the sky, as if he was accusing the world, or as if he was roaring unwilling to the sky.
"puff……"
Zhang Bao fell down powerlessly, and a group of guards were shocked. The gods asked Zhang Niujiao to hug Zhang Bao with one hand. When he saw his eyes that were no longer full of spirit, an indescribable sadness rushed to his heart instantly...
