After listening to Dong Hou's analysis, even Cai Yong, who knew nothing, could not help but nodded silently.

Guo Sheng nodded and smiled, "More than half a month ago, if Huwa had not made his words clear, then Subu might not have worried that Qiang Qu would kill him, and Qiang Qu might not have killed people so blatantly. It seems that the Huns themselves had a period of fighting and fighting, and they would have no way to interfere in the affairs of the three counties of Hetao. This is a good thing."

Everyone nodded silently, and Guo Sheng smiled again, "It's not that the Xiongnu, it's not that the Xianbei people are angry with Huwa and are going to call him, right?"

Dong Hou frowned, feeling a little unhappy with Guo Sheng's words, as if he was eager for Dong Buyi to be unlucky, but he still punched him in a cold face.

"Even if the Xianbei people come here, it is the time when the people of the Winter tribe return to their nests. The last general came because of the three servants locust plague. The Chang'an child, General Yan Huangfu, killed too much and angered the heavens. Yan was because General Huangfu lived in the three servants in Chang'an, so the three servants caused the locust plague. In addition, His Majesty was angry that General Huangfu had failed to fight the thief for several months but had no achievements. He had dismissed General Huangfu's position as general, and reduced his fief from Huaili to Duxiang Marquis..."

"What?"

Cai Yong was shocked, Dong Hou's words were interrupted, and he was unwilling to say more, so he punched him.

"The last general will report to the lord, please don't blame me."

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the Central Army carriage. Seeing this, Guo Sheng looked at Cai Yong very unhappy.

"Dr. Cai, why are you... you can't hold back!"

Guo Sheng was dissatisfied, Cai Yong and Gao Wang opened their mouths, but Xu Rong looked at the three of them with a strange look. Although he didn't know why the three offended Dong Hu, he could guess something very much, but he was not ready to ask, and then punched the three of them and then left.

Xu Rong stayed with Dong Zhuo for the longest time, far better than Niu Fu, Li Jue, Guo Si, Zhang Ji, Fan Chou and others know Dong Hu, and knows that Dong Hu seems easy to get along with, and seems to be able to tease anyone. If he hits a few times, it is not the case. When his temper rises, Dong Zhuo may not be able to hold back.

It was precisely because of Dong Hu's sarcasm that Dong Zhuo looked at the generals around him, and finally he had to let Xu Rong come and change someone else... He wanted the boy to take out thousands of riders, which was something he could not even think about. Dong Zhuo could not do in person, let alone write a letter.

Seeing that everyone else had left, Guo Sheng frowned for a while, and walked towards Zhang Liao who was staring at them nervously...

"Boy, go and tell Huwa that if he doesn't see me again, I will go to Meiji now."

Cai Yong, Gao Wang was shocked. Just as he was about to speak, Guo Sheng raised his arm and stopped the two of them from speaking. Looking at Zhang Liao, who was a little angry, there was a smile on his face.

"Sometimes ago, Huwa said what the court was on, and I thought it was very reasonable. Go and tell him that he has reason to be angry with the court, and the court has reason to be angry with him."

"Go."

Guo Sheng smiled and raised his arms to pat Zhang Liao on the shoulder, but the angry half-boy moved away from him. Zhang Liao, a native of Mayi, was particularly angry at Guo Sheng's words.

"snort!"

Without personal pain, you will not understand what kind of pain others suffer. Zhang Liao snorted coldly, turned around and walked towards a wider carriage, and he was unceremonious instructing his friends to follow him in front of the three of them.

"Look at them, don't allow them to get close to the lord's camp!"

Zhang Liao was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and he was not as calm as ten years later. He was particularly angry at Guo Sheng's support for the Huns who often plundered his hometown. Guo Sheng should have been angry, but at this time he showed some bitterness.

"Why do you have to come..."

Cai Yong, Gao Wang opened his mouth, and the two smiled bitterly, looking at Zhang Liao who was getting into the "camp" of the carriage...

Dong Hu personally led 40,000 troops from Tongxiang County to the south to cross the pass and into Hetao. Dong Xiaoyi, Dong Chong, Dong Gu, Liu Qi and others led 5,000 cavalry to enter west from Qianyin to the north. The five thousand cavalry were fast and swept across the scattered herders in the wild. Dong Hu led 40,000 troops to eliminate Yunzhong one by one, and Wuyuan County Tucheng Saibao.

Not only are the cities in the three counties of Hetao smaller, the four counties northwest of Liangzhou, the cities in the Hehuang Valley, and the cities outside the Youzhou Great Wall are all very small. Of course, this is not absolute. The capitals of the four counties northwest of Liangzhou Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiuquan and Dunhuang are still slightly larger, but this is only compared with the very small cities and is incomparable to the Central Plains.

The reason why the border town is small is not only because there are few people, but also because once the city is lost, if the Han soldiers come to seize it, and if the city is too tall and strong, it will be difficult for the Han soldiers to retake it in a short time.

Maybe when it comes to this, some people will be dissatisfied and say that if the city is tall and strong, the Han soldiers guarding the garrison will hide inside, and the Hu people will not even think of taking it away. This statement...it sounds like some truth, but is it really the case?

Outside the Great Wall, there are many Hu people. Whether Han generals or officials are willing or not, they will have to deal with Hu people. Half of Hu people live in the city. It is not like the farmer farmer outside the border. The food outside the border is mainly cattle and sheep. Once the city is trapped, don’t cattle and sheep need to eat grass? The Hu people in the city suddenly rebel?

Once something happens outside the Great Wall, it is extremely difficult for the Central Plains to rescue in a short period of time, and it takes at least several months of preparation. However, it is difficult to hold on to the Great Wall outside the Great Wall for several months. If the city is too tall and strong, once it is lost, the Han army will come to fight on an expedition. If the city cannot be quickly captured, the Han army's baggage will be in great trouble.

The Han people outside the border had few Han soldiers and many Hu people. No matter how tall or strong the city was, they were easily lost. Because the Hu people could seize it from the inside out, it was particularly difficult for the Han soldiers to retake it. Because of these reasons, the cities outside the border were very small, which could block the Hu people who were not good at attacking the cities, but could not stop the Han soldiers' strong attack. In order to shock the Huns, Dong Hu also took out a catapult again.

The catapult is tall and in fact, it is a large catapult pole, like a disproportionate seesaw, with a huge wooden box hanging at the end, and heavy stones or iron blocks are installed in the wooden box, which adds weight to the lead block. One end is raised due to its heavy weight, throwing the other end up, and throwing out the stones in the catapult belt bound to the other end, which is the same principle as the catapult pole used by Dong Buyi.

The trouble of creating heavy-duty counterweight catapults is not due to technical trouble or lack of materials, but because they are too heavy to transport and need to be built on site. A heavy-duty catapult that can put dozens of kilograms of stones and hundreds of steps is as tall as a city wall. It takes dozens of craftsmen a month or even longer to build one, but it may also be shorter. This depends on the proficiency of the craftsman and whether the raw materials are suitable. If the long "cat pole" trees in the core of the catapult can be successfully found, the construction time will be greatly shortened. If the materials are not enough, splicing technology is required, which will take more time.

Of course, Dong Hu didn't need to attack heavy trenchers like Luoyang, but just hit the smaller Tucheng Siebao. It would be enough to put a large fist stone for a hundred steps. Such light trenchers are much easier. Moreover, all the wooden pieces on the base can be disassembled and assembled. If you drag them to Tucheng with a carriage, you can assemble thirty or forty in one day. Thirty or forty trenchers attack a Tucheng Siebao guarded by hundreds of people. Even if you can't smash the earth wall in one day, the soldiers hiding inside must come out and surrender. If the city wall collapses, hundreds of people will have to be chopped off by Dong Hu!

It was almost no surprise that tens of thousands of troops besieged the Sai City, which hundreds of people defended, but how quickly the city was captured was far less rapid than the five thousand armored iron cavalry. By the time Dong Hu advanced to Wuyuan County, the five thousand cavalry had already defeated Subu, and the white horse bronze exceeded 10,000 coalition forces. Dong Chong and Liu Qi led two thousand cavalry to chase and kill Baima bronze, Dong Xiaoyi, and Dong Gu led thousands of cavalry to chase Subu all the way.

In June and July, the herdsmen had not yet graze the Hui land, and most of the young and strong were wandering outside. Subu, the white horses and bronzes seemed to gather tens of thousands of cavalry, but in fact most of them were miscellaneous cards of the elderly, weak, women and children. Dong Buyi seemed to have less troops, but his strength was far greater than that of the opponent's 10,000 cavalry. Without the elite cavalry of the 30,000 cavalry of the Huns, it would be difficult to compete with Dong Buyi for the 5,000 cavalry.

Confrontation does not mean that 30,000 elite Huns can win. Five thousand Dongbuyi Congqi's war horses under the crotch are Liangzhou horses. The endurance and weight bearing are not weaker than Hetao grassland war horses, but the sprint speed is higher than that of grassland war horses. With stirrups, it is easier to combine people and horses. Five thousand Dongbuyi Congqi's cavalry faces more Huns. Xianbei elite cavalry, they fight whenever they want, and have absolute control of the battlefield. The Qiang people, like the Xiongnu and Xianbei people, have herded sheep and rode horses since childhood. They are also born in chaotic border areas. Dong Hu is not worried about the five thousand Dongbuyi Congqi. In fact, as Dong Hu expected, the five thousand cavalry were chased and killed, and captured a lot, but their own losses were not big.

After Dong Hu threw down the battlefield report sent by Dong Chong, he was about to read the information of the Xianbei people sent by Huaxiong. The scout captain Dong Hou lifted the curtain and walked in, and brought the Chang'an and Luoyang news that he had just received. Dong Hu had just looked at it a few times, and Zhang Liao ran over and said words that made Dong Hou's cold face unhappy...

"The court is just a group of unfamiliar wolves!"

Listening to Dong Hou's anger, Dong Hu was stunned, smiled again, and threw the wine bag at his hand into his arms.

"If you are the emperor, or the three dukes... or the loyal minister of the court, you will make the same choice as them."

Dong Hou and Zhang Liao were both stunned, a little confused about Dong Hu's meaning.

"Why?"

"Because in the eyes of the Han Dynasty, you and I are just thieves, at least thieves on the road to rebellion! For thieves, we naturally create as much trouble as we can, and this is in line with the interests of the Han Dynasty."

Dong Hu said undeniably, and looked at the letter sent by Dong Hou at a glance, then looked up at the two of them.

"We can't talk about some things now. Now there are only some clues. There are still further observations on where the Han Dynasty will go. But what we want to tell you is that... the world may be really going to be in chaos. It's not like the Qiang people in Liangzhou, but like the chaos after Qin Shihuang died of illness."

Dong Hou, Zhang Liao was shocked, Zhang Liao was young, and even looked back, fearing that others would eavesdrop on their faces. Dong Hu couldn't help but smile, and the next moment he sighed softly...

"The signs of chaos in the world have emerged. What will happen in the future still need further observation, but one thing needs to be confirmed. No matter how chaos in the world is, we must try our best to avoid the Xiongnu and Xianbei people entering the Central Plains."

"How to say..."

"For example, we are a family, and there is a conflict between brothers, pointing at each other's noses and cursing each other, rolling up their sleeves and beating them, making them bruised and swollen. But no matter how much we make a fuss, we are still our own people, and our own brothers, but the Xiongnu and Xianbei people are not, they are outsiders!"
