Chapter 289 The Concubine Commander and Liangzhou Shepherd?

As soon as Dong Mao said, everyone in the room changed drastically. Xiao Liubian moved his butt with great anxiety...

"My father fought for the country for twenty years, and fighting with the thieves for another twenty years was nothing, but can Huwa believe it? I believe that the court would not regard him as Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin?"

"Nephew, how could the court do such a thing?"

"The Marquis of Qing Xiao He was the founding prime minister of the country and was both a teacher and a friend of Han Xin. If Taiwei Cui was in Taizu, could he believe that Xiao He would lure Han Xin to death?"

“…”

Dong Mao lowered his eyebrows and said, "Five or six years ago, the imperial court did not need to spend a penny or a grain of food, and a tiger's wife could kill 100,000 thieves in Jincheng Senei. One battle would leave Liangzhou without any war for twenty years."

"When Huwa led his troops north to Yanmen County, his foundation was unstable, he thought he would not have been so urgent to kill the Huns. This would not be of great benefit to him. It would not only make him more unstable in the foundation because of the Huns he swallowed, but also make the court more afraid of him. This is the case."

Dong Mao looked up at Cui Lie and said, "There is no problem with my father. Even if my father's order is not required, if there is no matter what the Wuhuan people do, the princess can still mobilize 10,000 or 20,000 troops in Pingcheng, as long as it does not affect Huwa's suppression of the Xianbei people."

"But just one or two thousand people cannot truly defeat the thieves in Liangzhou. Huwa must make all his strength, so that Huwa must choose between Liangzhou and Xianbei people, and even put hundreds of thousands of people in Yanmen County in danger."

"In addition, after Huwa fought against the thieves in Liangzhou, how can we ensure that the court will not kill him with one knife? Even... the court forced his father to kill him, just like... Xiao He lured Han Xin back then."

Dong Mao's lips curled slightly and said, "Huwa is not stupid. He can see the hostility of the court towards him. The princess went north to Yanmen County, which is similar to Huangfu Song's pacification of Han Sui back then? How can the court do this so, so how can Huwa make Huwa feel assured that the court will not kill him?"

The whole room was full of displeasure and gloomy. As Dong Mao said, Dong Hu would not believe them. The Han Dynasty had fewer achievements in killing. The use of other people's trust to lure and kill them happened again and again. How could he be willing to hand over his life?

Dong Hu did not trust the court, and the court would not really trust him a boy who always wanted to "rebel". The two sides were in a stalemate.

Dong Mao was silent for a moment, looked at Liu Bian beside Queen He, and then he held his fist and bowed.

"Huwa sometimes says something ruthless. He seems to be a reckless and impulsive boy, but in fact, Huwa is extremely cautious in doing things. He cannot ignore the safety of hundreds of thousands of people in Yanmen County in order to kill Han Sui and others. He is also worried that when Han Sui and others are about to kill Han Sui and others, the court will do the things that happened again in the Jincheng Pass, Meiji Shanyuting, and Danhan Mountain. If the court cannot dispel his concerns, it is unlikely that he will attack the thieves in Liangzhou with all his strength. If he wants to fight, he will only attack the four counties of Hexi and continue to hide behind the thieves in Liangzhou..."

"Damn it!"

Hearing Dong Mao say this, He Jin couldn't hold back his anger and stood up, pointing at Dong Mao and scolding him...

"I dare to ask the general that Huwa is trying to seize the four counties of Hexi, and is trying to hide behind the 200,000 thieves and force them to fight the court to the death... Or, Huwa is now rebelling with the Qiang people and the Wuwan people. Can the court have a way to quell the rebellion?"

"you……"

"Enough!"

He Jin was angry, Queen He suddenly stopped crying coldly, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly condensed...

"If the child really wanted to rebel, he wouldn't have gone to the grassland, let alone said that kind of thing!"

Dong Zhuo, Dong Mao, Dong Hu... or Lintao's group worshipped Empress He's dock. The relationship between the two sides should have been closer. After all, the stronger the Lintao's group is, the more powerful the future Empress Dowager He and the more stable the status, it is unquestionable that Liu Bian becomes the emperor, rather than the current situation of Jian Shuo leading the Eighth Camp in Xiyuan.

He Jin was a general, and the Han Dynasty had the custom of empress dowagers in the dynasty. According to common practice, the general wanted to control all the troops in the capital, but now the eunuch Jian Shuo is the eunuch who controls the troops in the capital. This made Liu Bian's "natural" emperor's path become a swaying unknown.

Since Jian Shuo became the military captain of the West Garden, Empress He has been uneasy and needs the support of a powerful general like Dong Zhuo and Dong Hu. But He Jin always stumbling with Dong Hu like nothing, which also made Empress He extremely dissatisfied during this period.

"I believe that Huwa is a loyal child, otherwise he would not have led his troops out of the frontier, nor would he lead his troops to fight with the Xianbei people when the Xianbei people invade Youzhou."

Thinking of Dong Mao's straightforward words, Empress He felt helpless. As Dong Mao said, even if Dong Hu rebelled, the court was helpless at this time. The rebellion of the Qiang people in Bingzhou had not been resolved yet, and tens of thousands of Wuwan people in Youzhou rebelled again. If Dong Hu also rebelled, it would be that all the "nine-side generals" rebelled. Moreover, there were many remnants of the Yellow Turban thieves who were kings in the Han Dynasty...

"well……"

Queen He sighed in her heart, but there was no big strangeness on her face. She looked at Dong Mao and was a little gentler.

"The child Huwa has made many contributions to the court, from pacifying the rebellion of the Qiang people in Liangzhou, to pacifying the rebellion of the Yellow Turban thieves, and guarding the border for the country... Huwa has made many contributions to the Han Dynasty, and some people's actions have indeed been overdoing."

Not only He Jin, but even Cui Lie, Xu Xiang, Ding Gong, Yuan Wei, Cao Song and others all opened their mouths a few times, and finally sighed quietly. They could see Dong Zhuo and Dong Hu's threat to the stability of the world, but at this time the world could not bear the consequences of forcing them to rebel.

If you can't suppress it, then you can only cooperate and assimilate.

Thinking of the repeated letters of help from He Miao, Empress He sighed and said, "A few days ago, Liu Zongzheng thought that the world was unstable and he should establish a state governor to defend the world. Moreover, Yan'er... Yan'er is old and that child is still pretty good. If that child is willing to become the son-in-law and guard Liangzhou, I think the court officials are willing to let the child become the governor of Liangzhou."

Dong Mao was shocked and looked at the woman in front of him with disbelief. Not only him, but also the important officials of the rest of the country were shocked...

"Queen..."

He Jin was very anxious. As soon as his mouth opened, Queen He glared at him unhappily, then turned to look at Dong Mao, who was shocked.

"The child Huwa is young and straightforward, but has a good heart. If he guards Liangzhou, his Majesty and the court will have nothing to worry about. As for Yanmen County... Dong Zhonglang can be the governor of Bingzhou if he is willing."

Originally, He Jin was a little dissatisfied with Empress He's words, but after hearing this, he couldn't help looking at the ministers and nodding in one go. Dong Mao frowned slightly...

"The Empress may have been worried too much. I watched Huwa grow up. As the Empress said, Huwa is a little young and speaks a little straightforward, but he will not disturb the world because of some dissatisfaction with certain things. There is absolutely no mistake."

"If Huwa can be the governor of Liangzhou... Although the court officials may think Huwa is younger, I know that in Liangzhou, no one in the court can be the governor of Liangzhou, even if his father cannot settle the entire Liangzhou, he can."

Empress He and the ministers looked a little solemn, and continued to listen to Dong Mao speak slowly.

"It has been six years since the fourth year of Guanghe. Although Huwa is not old, he has fought for six years. Since recruiting two thousand mercenaries, he has been fighting for six years, but has not lost all his battles in the past six years."

"When Huwa was a little older, he began to raise some beggars outside the city and the entire Lintao... Even the entire Longxi County knew about Huwa's kindness. From a few babies to two thousand mercenaries, to 300,000 to 400,000 people in the Hehuang Valley, and now 500,000 people in Bingzhou. In the past six years, Huwa has raised nearly one million people. Apart from the battlefield capture, he almost never asked the court for money and food, but he has raised nearly one million people."

"The population of Liangzhou is only 500,000 (tax-paying Han people). The biggest difficulty in Liangzhou now is that there are countless hungry people, and they have no food to support the people. Anyone who is the governor of Liangzhou, if they don't have money and food to support hundreds of thousands of people, it is almost a dream to stabilize Liangzhou. Even those thieves who are rebelling cannot."

Dong Mao said seriously: "Thuwa is good at fighting and fighting, but he is also very good at farming and raising the people. Only when he sees the current situation in Beidi County, the Empress should know that if Huwa had not lent the food to Taishou Cai, Beidi County would never be calm, so he should know the scene after Huwa entered Liangzhou."

"At this time, if we want to calm Liangzhou, the only one in the world can do this is Huwa, and the rest cannot. Even if the court recruits 100,000 soldiers, even if they defeat the kingdom, Han Sui, Song Jian, Ma Teng and others, it cannot calm Liangzhou."

"But I don't think Huwa would be willing to be the prince-in-law, not because the princess is not good enough, but because the princess is too young..."

When Dong Mao said this, he felt that this statement was a little wrong and explained: "When Huwa went to Baima Qiang, it was mainly because Huwa defeated Shaodang Qiang. When Huwa slaughtered in the Hehuang Valley, it caused the uneasiness of Baima Qiang. In order to prevent the Baima Qiang from turmoiling the Hehuang Valley again, Huwa had to go to Baima Qiang. For peace between the two tribes, he married Ajie, the granddaughter of Lao Wang of Baima Qiang."

"Ajie is as young as His Highness Princess, but this is just a helpless move. If possible, he would never marry such a girl. The Empress can see the attitude of Huwa from the "Princess of Jin"."

Dong Mao said again: "If the Empress thought Huwa could be the governor of Liangzhou, I agree in my heart, but the Empress should also know that even if Huwa was the governor of Liangzhou, he would not be able to go to Liangzhou in the short term. Before he could completely defeat the Xianbei of Danhanshan, he would not be able to leave Bingzhou. Huwa would never allow an enemy around him to always threaten hundreds of thousands of people in Bingzhou."

"Of course, don't worry too much. Huwa led tens of thousands of horses out of the Jilushu to the frontier, not just to defeat the Xianbei in the north of the three Hetao counties, nor to Danhan Mountain. If it were just to Danhan Mountain, he would go north from Zhuwenze, where General Huaxiong stationed, to Guyan Mountain, the former Huns' land. Only in this way can the Xianbei in Danhan Mountain be more intimidated, rather than going out of the Jilushu."
