Looking at Xu Rong who was stunned, Dong Hu knew that he seemed to know that he was in a mess and sighed...

"General Xu should know one thing. Since General Liang Ji, the power of the inner court has expanded...not because of the inner court itself, but because the emperor deliberately did this, but because the inner court has the support of the emperor, which makes the inner court equal to the outer court."

"When you know that no matter how hard the outer court makes, as long as the emperor supports the eunuchs in the inner court, the eunuchs in the inner court will not be defeated and will not disappear from now on. For example, when the outer court used the Yellow Turban chaos, he held the inner court in one fell swoop. But after the death of the three brothers of Zhang Jiao, did Your Majesty still impose a tax on land? Didn't the eunuchs in the inner court still travel around the world to make money for Your Majesty? Didn't the eunuchs in the inner court still become the marquis?"

"As long as the emperor does not die, as long as the emperor supports the inner court, the internal and external courts will not be able to decide the outcome. The fierce internal struggle between the inner and external courts will continue to exist, so we can't think of dealing with the crisis together."

"Anotherwise, without the eunuchs in the inner court, there will be no disputes in the outer court? Apart from a powerful minister like Liang Ji, the outer court cannot be united, but how can this satisfy the emperor? How can the emperor be willing to be a puppet of the outer court?"

"Without an inner court, the emperor would also let the civil and military officials in the outer court fight each other. Only by fighting each other can the emperor control the ministers. Just like after Huwa entered the Hehuang Valley that day, the court recruited Han Sui, and wasn't he still thinking about letting the East and West Qiang fight each other? If they don't fight each other, it will become the current situation. They will fight You Fufeng and fight with the court! Similarly, if the inner and outer courts do not fight each other, or if the outer courts themselves do not fight internally, they will aim their troops at the emperor..."

"The internal struggle of the court is eternal. It is either the emperor and the ministers themselves. When the country is strong and the political center of the imperial capital is unrivaled, even if the upper and lower battles are constantly fighting, the Qiang people who can beat their parents with a random punch can easily crush the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army into powder... But this is when the empire's national strength is strong and unparalleled!"

Dong Hu sighed, "When the empire was unparalleled, even if the court had some struggles, it was enough to deal with some turmoil and rebellion. But what about now? The court recognized the existence of the Black Mountain Army, and Zhang Yan became the General of the Central Army. All the generals under his command were rewarded. No matter what the reason was, it proved that the Han Dynasty was no longer in a good position and could no longer deal with the rebellion of the Yellow Turbans and the Qiang people at the same time, so he had to compromise with the Yellow Turbans."

Xu Rong sighed in his heart, but still had to nod in agreement. He faintly noticed Dong Hu's ambition, but he didn't know how to speak. It took a while before he sighed bitterly.

"As the general said, the court... the court is indeed a little incompetent..."

After hearing Xu Rong's word "general", Dong Hu raised his eyebrows, reached out and stuffed the wine bag into his hand, showing a smile on his face.

"The court compromise is only temporary, just like Huwa robbing Yanmen County and Dingxiang County. If Huwa doesn't bow his head and even looks at Taiyuan County, the court can only accept it. Even Dr. Cai, Eunuch Guo, Eunuch Gao and others who came with the general were not allowed to do anything."

"Temporarily compromised and turned a blind eye for the time being, but just temporarily stabilized us and Zhang Yan, thinking about killing the rebellious Qiang people in Liangzhou, and then turning back and killing us."

Dong Hu smiled disdainfully and said, "The court took it for granted. The Black Mountain Army and other Yellow Turban Remnants changed their tactics and did not live in plains that were prone to attack, but hid in mountains. Huwa came to the five northern counties of Bingzhou, and Han then captured the four northwest counties of Liangzhou."

"Brother Zhang Jiao used evil words to deceive people. The rebellion of the Yellow Turban Army could have been easily pacified. It is because the people of the Central Plains are not rebellious criminals over and over again, and because the people of the Central Plains are all honest people. As long as the court shows some kindness and kindness and reduces the burden on the people, it is easy to win over the lost hearts. However, the court was too tough and forced them into trapped beasts in cages. The bloody killing made them unwilling to believe in the court anymore, so they became bandits in the mountains."

"At the beginning, it would be easy to quell the rebellion, not only because the Yellow Turban Army was just farmers with no combat experience, not only because they did not have excellent armor and weapons, not only because they were hasty rebellious, but also because they were major strategic shortcomings in their rebellion. They chose a plain where they were easily besieged. Even if they had millions of soldiers, they were defeated and killed. "

"But after they experienced failure, they were forced to change their strategies and tactics and hide among the mountains. In this way, it was much more difficult for the court to encircle and suppress it in a short period of time. As the two sides fought repeatedly, the Yellow Turban Army gradually gained more experience in fighting, and it would become increasingly difficult to wipe out. It was basically impossible for the court to wipe out in a short period of time."

Xu Rong nodded silently. After 10 or 20 years of martial arts, he was able to distinguish the authenticity of Dong Hu's words.

Dong Hu said again: "The remnants of the Yellow Turbans are scattered in all mountains and rivers. Don't think of removing them in a short time. What about the rebellious Qiang people in Liangzhou? Can they clear them in a short time?"

"The same can't!"

"The three counties of Hetao fall into the hands of our Huwa. Let's not talk about how much impact the recapture of Hetao three counties will have on the Xiongnu and Xianbei people. Just as the general came with his uncle's letter, we will have five thousand and ten thousand soldiers, what will the general do?"

"We will fight from Beidi County to Anding County, and follow Longshan to the south and enter Youfufeng. The same way as the rebellion of the Xianling Qiang in Beidi County, we believe that as long as the general leads troops behind the bandits, the bandits will retreat. From the Weishui Road to Hanyang County, the rebels will step forward and continue to retreat... retreat all the way westward, retreat to Jincheng Pass, retreat to the west of the Yellow River, and even go further along Yun Street, and order the servants to retreat into the four counties of Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiuquan and Dunhuang."

Dong Hu gestured on the table with wine...

"The rebels retreated from the Weishui Road and retreated all the way to Jincheng Pass without pause. This is not surprising. Because there are no dangers to guard, the imperial court can quell the rebellion and attack them in many ways. But once they retreated to Jincheng Pass, once they entered the four northwest counties of Liangzhou, they could stick to Yun Street and make the narrow valley roads of Jusai."

"The imperial court seems to have tens of thousands of troops to quell the rebellion. How many are the real elite soldiers? The imperial court will not have more than 20,000 elite soldiers."

"How many rebels? 150,000! The general has been garrisoning in Liangzhou for many years. When he knew the combat power of the men in Liangzhou, he had 150,000 rebelled against Liangzhou. He dared to fight at least 70,000 to 80,000."

"Twenty thousand elite Han soldiers fought against 70,000 to 80,000 elite rebels in Liangzhou. Not to mention whether they would be besieged by rebels and suffered great defeat on the road from Weishui Road to Jinchengsai? Only the two sides confronted each other and fought for the narrow valley. When the imperial court lacked elite troops, how could they break through the narrow valley that the thief army held several times?"

Dong Hu sighed and said, "The general was in Liangzhou for 10 or 20 years. When he knew that the people's livelihood was declining under the war, 100,000 Qiang people rebelled in the nine counties of Liangzhou, the fields of the counties in Liangzhou were deserted, and the people were all lost. If you want to provide money, food and supplies for the army to quell the rebellion, you can only transport supplies from Sanfu, Chang'an, two thousand miles."

"At present, there were more than 100,000 soldiers in the army led by Huangfu Song to quell the rebellion. The court gave the soldiers a year of 21 stones of food, and 100,000 soldiers a year of 2 million stones of food. To transport grain from Chang'an, 200,000 young and strong men would need to recruit 200,000 young and strong men. How much food does 200,000 farmers need to eat?"

"The imperial army broke through Yunjie in a short time, and ordered Jusaigu Road to be fine. If it cannot be broken through, the two sides will have a long confrontation. The three auxiliary servants of Chang'an can really support a 100,000 army, and 200,000 civilians can use three or four million stones of grain to use in a year?"

"So what if you break through? The rebels can continue to retreat westward and continue to lengthen the supply front of the court."

Dong Hu sighed and said, "General should be able to see that it is July now. Huangfu Song has led more than 100,000 troops into the Sanfu to suppress the thieves for two or three months. The two sides have been fighting in the right Fufeng Meiyang for two or three months but have not decided the winner. The general should know that the two sides have not decided the winner in the open area. When the narrow valley confronts, it is even more impossible for the imperial army to easily break through the thieves' defense line."

"In this case, the more impatient you are to quell the chaos, the more likely you will be to defeat the enemy. The safest approach is to force the thieves to Jincheng Pass and to the west bank of the Yellow River, and then force them to retreat to the four northwest counties of Liangzhou. The army of both sides confronted each other at both ends of the valley entrance. The court was in Longxi County and Hanyang County to farm, so as to reduce the pressure on the transportation of Chang'an Sanfu baggage as much as possible, and to engage in a long confrontation with the thieves. This confrontation is likely to be three years or four years... It is basically unlikely to kill Han Sui, the old boy in a short time."

Dong Hu looked at Xu Rong with a serious expression and said, "The situation Huwa said is the best situation. The war was extremely smooth, but the battlefield was changing. The final result was not released. No one dared to guarantee a 100% victory. Perhaps the rebels encircled and annihilated the 100,000 troops of the imperial court. After all, the rebels have an absolute advantage in elite troops. The combat power of the Liangzhou Malaysia is also stronger than that of the Central Plains soldiers, and it is not uncommon for the imperial court to be defeated."

Xu Rong nodded silently, knowing that this Qiang rebellion was different from the last time. Even if the imperial court wanted to recruit people who dared to fight against the Qiang, it would be difficult for the court to recruit 50,000 elite troops who had just suppressed the Yellow Turban thieves. But these elite troops were okay to deal with the Yellow Turban thieves farmers. It would be a bit short of fighting with the Qiang people in Liangzhou, which had been in turmoil for many years.

Dong Hu said again: "The remnants of the Yellow Turbans can not be eliminated in a short time, and the Qiang Rebellion in Liangzhou cannot be easily suppressed. As for our tiger baby... If our tiger baby rebels, General Xu would not think we are easy to deal with, right?"

"Let's not mention the tens of thousands of military farms in the Hehuang Valley. Let's talk about the surrounding Xiongnu and Xianbei people. If our tiger kids are willing to bow their heads, will Qiang Qu Shanyu give us a king of different surnames?"

"When the Xianbei tribes in the east, middle and west were split, and when the Xianbei tribes were not convinced by Danhan Mountain, our Huwa took Dongbu Yicheng to surrender to the Xianbei. Will Kuitou of Danhan Mountain give us a king of different surnames?"

"The Han Dynasty is really willing to fight with the Huns and Xianbei people at this time? If our tiger kid is willing to rebel, Luoyang can really solve us easily? Don't joke!"

Xu Rong was shocked. The Huns had the custom of being named kings of different surnames. Not to mention that Dong Hu held 200,000 to 300,000 clans, even the Huns captured several royal families with the Liu family, including the Huns, and the Xianbei people.

Dong Hu can be a Han general, a Qiang King of Hehuang or a Qiang King of Plateau. As long as he is willing to bow his head, it is easy to accept him, whether it is Qiang Qu Shanyu or Kuitou sweats a lot. Xu Rong is very sure of this.

Xu Rong was very anxious.
