Chapter 23 Dido Gives Gifts
After learning about the news of Lintao Kongxu, Li Wenhou hurriedly took his people away. From beginning to end, he didn't know that Dong Hu was living in a tent fifty steps away from him.
After knowing that Lintao is empty, people still need to confirm the news and send someone to Ganlang Valley. Li Wenhou did not dare to delay any delay.
As a famous scholar in Western Liang, he knew very well how important the news revealed by Mengdu was. Once the Ganlang Qiang entered Lintao, it would turmoil the entire Longxi County in a short time, and even directly threatened the Sanfu of Chang'an. At that time, who would care about Jincheng Sedge?
Li Wenhou left in a hurry, but Dong Hu stayed in Jishishan camp for ten days. Until Mengdu convinced everyone and took out a thousand soldiers together, the two sides discussed the joint dispatch of troops and then left Jishishan in the wind and snow.
It is very difficult for thousands of soldiers from Jishishan to enter Longxi County. If Xiang enters from Taoshui, he can only pretend to be a caravan and turn it into pieces. However, if a large army enters, he can only go north to the Baishi Pass established by Emperor Xuan of Han, enter the plateau from Baishi Pass, and directly enter the Ganlang Valley.
When the Hehuang Qiang was tense in the rebellion, it was much more difficult to break the whole thing and enter Lintao. Moreover, Dong Hu didn't want these guys to enter Lintao, so asking them to stab the butt of Ganlang Valley has become the best option.
When Dong Hu shared the whole plan, more than ten big leaders who were anxious about the Hehuang Qiang incident all clamored to stab the Gan Lang Qiang in the ass and wipe out the decadence before.
He Fu returned to Lintao in the wind and snow, and not to mention that Yunwu City was only a few dozen miles away from Jishishan Camp, and Li Wenhou returned far earlier than him.
After Li Wenhou returned to Yunwu City, he immediately informed Beigong Boyu, Han Sui and others of this fatal news, and they also sent spies to confirm the news as soon as possible.
It took at least one month to go back and forth from Yunwu to Lintao, but the spy ran back in just ten days. Beigong Boyu was so angry that he wanted to kill the person immediately.
It originally took a month to go, but I ran back in just ten days. Isn’t it just a bald man’s head lice?
Beigong Boyu was furious. With a "clang", he pulled out his waist knife and raised it to kill a spy with tears. In order to wait for this news, he couldn't eat and sleep well all day long. In addition, a group of bastards asked for food, cattle and sheep, and had dark circles, and he wanted to kill two spies immediately.
Before he could ask carefully, Beigong Boyu was about to kill someone, and Han Sui had to come forward to stop him.
"If they really deceive the leader, it wouldn't be too late to kill him!"
Han Sui spoke, Beigong Boyu suppressed his anger and pressed the spy on the neck of the spy with a scimitar.
"explain!"
The knife was pressed against the neck, and the spy didn't even dare to kowtow and beg for mercy, for fear that his head would fall to the ground after a little movement.
"Small...small..."
"explain--"
Beigong Boyu roared angrily, and the spy didn't dare to hesitate, so he hurriedly told the matter.
The spy did not run to Lintao, but after he quickly ran to Didao, Longxi County City, he knew that Lintao had indeed become an empty city. The prefect Li Kuan was furious and clamored to impeach Dong Zhuoyue's level to mobilize Lintao troops.
After the spy trembled and told the news he learned, Beigong Boyu frowned...
"Brother Wenyue thought what should I do?"
Li Wenhou suddenly asked, and everyone looked at Han Sui, who was also frowning.
Han Sui shook his head slightly, and just when everyone was not sure about it, he looked at Beigong Boyu solemnly.
"No matter whether the spy's news is true or not, if even Didao knows that Lintao is empty, the Ganlang Qiang near Lintao must have learned the news. We need to send envoys to Ganlang Valley as soon as possible."
Beigong Boyu nodded slowly and turned to look at Song Yang.
"Then Lang Meng originally had a grudge against Dong Zhuo. If there were no soldiers in Lintao, then the Lang Meng would definitely attack Lintao! Brother Song, can you go to Ganlang Valley?"
Song Yang was a little displeased. Seeing that everyone seemed to him, he could not think of a reason to refuse for a moment, so he had to hold his fists and agree.
"promise!"
Without too many words, it is easy for others to see his dislike, but no one took the initiative to object.
Lao Wang frowned and said, "The wolf cub has an unresolvable hatred with Dong Zhuo, but the wolf cub is extremely cautious and it is not really easy to convince. If you want to be foolproof..."
When Lao Wang turned his head and looked at the middle-aged man behind him, he hesitated and nodded.
"Bone, go and tell the wolf cub. If he is disobedient, I will chop his dog head!"
The middle-aged man seemed extremely calm, with no expression on his face, just nodded silently.
Seeing that others had no objection, Beigong Boyu could only put the matter of Ganlang Qiang aside, but he always had a sense of panic that was hard to say. He always felt that Jishishan camp was too close to him and wanted to lead troops to kill him immediately. But when he thought of the opposition of a group of bastards, he felt a little disappointed in his heart. He secretly regretted that he should not rebel so eagerly. He should force the prefect Chen Yi to kill the damn Dong family slave first, and should cut off the salt road first...
The timing of the rebellion was wrong. The tribes did not fall into trouble because of the cut off their trade routes. The enthusiasm for rebellion was not high, and there were many more people who were pulling their backs.
His mind was confused, but he had no choice but to do anything. Beigong Boyu knew that when things came to this point, he would be dead if he took a step back, and he could only take down Jincheng Pass first.
"snort!"
Beigong Boyu suddenly snorted coldly without any warning, turned around and walked to the main seat to sit down.
"Brother Wenyue, are Jinchengsai ready?"
Han Sui presided over the incident of sneak attack on Jincheng Pass. Seeing Beigong Boyu asking, he clasped his fists and said, "After we just took Yunwu, we let some people go to Jincheng Pass. In the past three months, there have been 500 of us in the city. We can win Jincheng Pass through the inside and outside."
Han Sui hesitated again and said, "If Dong Zhuo failed to take away all the soldiers in Lintao, we can send troops to capture the Jincheng Pass now. But if the Ganlang Qiang attacked Lintao, regardless of whether the Ganlang Qiang had turmoil in the entire Longxi County, then Dong Zhuo would definitely be punished by Luoyang."
"Before fighting, a general will be abolished. The morale of the Han army will be in chaos. Our army has increased its chance of winning by three points. In addition, our army will seize the Golden City Pass again. Our army with strong morale will definitely be able to defeat it in one go, and we can get hundreds of thousands of soldiers in a few days!"
After hearing this, Beigong Boyu showed joy on his face, swept away the haze in his heart, and exclaimed: "Brother Wenyue is indeed a great talent. I followed Wenyue's trick. Let's wait a few more days. When the wolf Meng Tuo the damn Dong family slave, we will take the Golden City Pass in one fell swoop!"
"Ha ha……"
"Come on, everyone will drink together..."
"Drinking!"
...
When Song Yang went to Ganlang Valley, he would never enter from Lintao. He was just like a group of killing talents in Jishishan. He also entered from Baishi Pass. However, the journey was not easy to walk, and it took a month of difficult journey just one way.
Dong Hu didn't know that Song Yang took a hundred people to Ganlang Valley, and even if he knew, he wouldn't pay attention. The poisonous bait was already hung on the hook, and he just needed to wait for the greedy and hungry wolf to rush to eat.
When he returned from Lintao to Jishi Mountain, Dong Hu did not stop at Didao. When he returned, he had to go to Li's mansion with his son and nephew.
Didao's Li family is also a large clan of Longxi County, but the Li family is not a military general, and even a literary path. If Dong Zhuo hadn't made a name for himself, the Li family and the Dong family would not be much different. They are both local tyrants and have some reputation in the local area. In front of the famous families that have been around for hundreds of years, the Dong family and the Li family are nothing.
The Li family has some money, but the Li family is not willing to spend 20 million yuan to buy the prefect of Longxi County who can't even get back. However, the Li family was targeted by eunuchs in the inner court. They would have to send 20 million yuan to the inner court if they buy it or not, otherwise...
“Hmph…”
The eunuch hummed before leaving, and Li Kuan could only pay the money honestly, but the prefect who was scared all day long.
Dong Hucai didn't care whether the Li family lost money or not. He came to the door with Dong Mao and the couple's handwritten letter. He waited in the room for half a day but didn't see anyone. He was hesitating whether he should put down the letter and run away. Li Kuan, who looked a little fat, sighed and pushed the door and walked in.
Seeing that the Prefect Li finally showed his face, Dong Hu hurriedly stood up, crossed his hands and held his fists, and was very respectful. However, Li Kuan waved his hand and walked towards the wooden couch on the main seat with a sad face.
"The tiger baby is not an outsider, so there is no need to be polite."
"Sit down."
Dong Hu took two letters and delivered them to Li Kuan before and then retreated to the wooden couch on one side and sat down.
Prefect Li did not open the letter and opened it. He just looked through the envelope twice before looking at Dong Hu and smiled bitterly.
"Huwa, you stay by Mao'er's side all day long and talk to us. Then what's crazy about Dong Zhuo? Why did you take all the soldiers in Lintao to Chang'an? If there is an accident in Lintao and Dong Zhuo is unlucky, wouldn't he still implicate us?"
It seemed like I was angry and added another sentence...
"We are not afraid that you kid will sue you. We have written all the memorials of impeaching Dong Zhuo!"
Dong Hu smiled bitterly in his heart and bowed to the rich man Li Kuan.
"The prefect is joking. Our Huwa is just a fatherless boy. Even if the Huwa is close to the eldest son and his sister-in-law, he is just a junior in front of you. How dare you talk nonsense?"
"But... the lord may have blamed his uncle for his mistake. His uncle transferred the Lintao troops to give his uncle a great contribution."
Li Kuan was stunned.
"Maintenance?"
Dong Hu smiled and nodded, pointed to the two letters on the small table, and said with a smile: "The eldest son has written everything on it, and the adults can tell the cause and effect at a glance."
Li Kuan was confused, but hesitated without hesitation. He opened the letter a few times, read it at a glance, and read it over and over again...
"Mao'er is really, why don't you tell me about such a big thing early?"
Dong Hu clasped his fists and said, "I'd like to forgive you. It's not that the eldest son didn't want to tell you early, but that the Huwa failed to inform you as soon as possible. The main reason is... because this is more realistic, which allows the Ganlang Qiang to stretch out his head. Longxi County can also take the opportunity to solve the hidden worries behind him and avoid the sneak attacks behind the storm and wolf Qiang when our army conquers Hehuang Qiang."
"The two armies were fighting fiercely, and if there was a sudden invasion of ganlang Qiang behind them, our army would be attacked on the back. Regardless of whether the army was shaken by the spirit of the army, whether the army was defeated or not, the court would have to look for his uncle's fault afterwards."
"But if the hidden worries behind Longxi County were solved in advance, not only could my uncle rest assured, but also because of his uncle's strategy of scheming and dispatching Lintao troops to lure snakes out of the cave, and defeating thousands of thieves in one fell swoop. Not only would he have the effect of killing the enemy and relieving the hidden worries behind the army's expedition, but he could also use this battle to inspire the morale of the army."
Looking at Li Kuan, who had a blushing face and a thick neck, Dong Hu stood up and held his fists solemnly.
"The ginseng wolf and Qiang suffered too much in our hands. If the adults don't pretend to be like some, then the wolf and Meng may be unable to come out. Only when our army goes to quell the chaos will they take the opportunity to harm Longxi County."
"I hope you don't blame Xiao Chi for not informing you in advance!"
Li Kuan hurriedly stood up, stepped forward and pulled Dong Hu's arm, and smiled bitterly: "I thought Zhongying didn't know what crazy he was, but I didn't think of him..."
"well……"
Li Kuan didn't expect Dong Zhuo to give him this big gift, and after shaking his head...
"When you go back, tell Zhongying, just say that we have accepted his favor, but next time, if there is such a fatal thing, you guys can't hide it any longer!"
"Yes, Huwa dare not hide it any longer!"
Seeing that Dong Hu was quite respectful and gave such a big gift, Li Kuan patted him on the shoulder twice before sitting back on the wooden couch.
