Dong Mao participated in the formation of veterans when he was recruiting mercenaries. He knew best how he branded the foreheads of thousands of Qiang prisoners during his time in Didao, and how he subdued these people.

The Qiang people like to make trouble. As long as someone rebels, a large group of people will inevitably rebel. After the imperial court sent troops to attack, they all turned around and surrendered, and then they were waiting for the next opportunity to rebel and make a fortune again.

For this reason, when dealing with these rebellious guys, Dong Hu just came up to everyone he captured. No matter whether you are a real Qiang or a fake Qiang person, as long as you are caught by him, you will mark it on your forehead. According to Dong Hu's words at that time, Rende only once, and he will be caught by his head next time, and they will never give them a third chance to rebel and do evil.

The Qiang people in Liangzhou have rebelled for three or four hundred years, but in the end they were beaten up by the Han Dynasty. For this reason, once Dong Hu was pressed and stamped, no matter whether these guys were following Dong Hu or not, the possibility of their second rebellion was much smaller, because there was a mark on their forehead, which proved that he had committed a rebellion. Next time he was caught, the general of the Han Dynasty's rebellion cut off their heads, and even if the others surrendered again, there was no way to object.

Although the possibility of rebelling among those who have branded the characters is much smaller, this is targeting the Han Dynasty, not because of Dong Hu himself. After all, the Qiang people are really afraid of the Han Dynasty. The result of the Han Dynasty being beaten up for three or four hundred years. As for why the court could not win over these people who have branded the characters "Dong", the root cause is Huangfu Song. It was because when Huangfu Song was in Yuzhong City, he failed to handle the "food" problem of Dongbuyicon's "food" problem. After that, it was the matter of Dongbuyi's promotion system from the army.

People who have the word "branded" are difficult to be accepted by others. Just like the Jiedushi in the late Tang Dynasty, they caught people everywhere, turning all young and strong into marshals to distinguish the soldiers of each Jiedushi. Once each Jiedushi captured the other marshals on the battlefield, most of them would be killed. If they were not cut and killed, these people would be eliminated by the army and turned into farming slaves under the names of the generals. The reason why they treated this way was because of the word "spy".

Dong Hu was not afraid of spies, and did not hesitate to incorporate the captives who had branded the characters into Dongbu Yicong. No matter how the Huns branded the characters, it would be difficult for them to make the characters, because they could not guarantee whether the Han people who had branded the characters would defect without any scruples, and it was also difficult to guarantee whether the soldiers who had seen the characters were secretly sent by Dong Hu. The Huns could not make the prisoners' faces as many anti-counterfeiting codes as paper money, right? Anyway, Dong Hu did not believe that the Huns could still draw anti-counterfeiting watermarks on other people's faces.

When Dong Mao heard that Dong Hu wanted to incorporate the person who had branded the word "slave" into Dongbuyi, he knew that no matter how the Huns made the word "slave" on the face, there was no way to make the word "slave" on the prisoner's face. If he didn't do it well, he would be shooting himself in the foot. He also nodded quite appreciatively to his brother's cunning.

Dong Hu supported Dong Mao to inspect the position in front of Tianmen Pass. After returning to the camp, the two brothers walked into the prisoner camp and comforted each other. Only then did they return to the Zhongjun camp with some fatigue.

"Huwa, Yu Fuluo, will the Huchuquan brothers threaten us with the lives of all the Han people in Taiyuan County?"

After walking around the prisoner camp, Dong Mao was quite worried about Fu Luo's actions. Not only him, but Dong Hu was also worried...

"If they dare to do this, we will go to heaven and earth, and our Huwa will kill all the 50,000 Huns! We will skin all of them!"

Dong Hu said a ruthless word, frowned for a while, and said, "When they had never seen our siege, they might force countless Han prisoners to fight against us, but after seeing it... we think they should not have this determination. After all, this means blocking all the retreats of the Huns, and not even being defeated and surrendered to become slaves. Even if Yu Fuluo is really cruel, the Huns below should not have this determination..."

"Let's go tomorrow, let's warn them under the city tomorrow, and it will make some people sway when doing these things."

Dong Mao was silent for a moment, but in the end he could only nod in silence.

"It's good that this is the case. Leave a little way out for others so that others won't be too crazy and won't sit down with the trouble of the world being angry and resentful."

Dong Hu nodded silently. Just as Dong Mao said, if there was no hope of survival, no one knew how crazy the trapped beasts would be in desperate situations. But they didn't know that Jinyang City was once again in chaos at this time, and this time it was not the panic of the Han people, but the 50,000 old and weak Huns.

In countless Dongbuyi, the elite infantrymen from the military farming field pushed horizontally to the city of Tianmen Pass with shields. There was no catapult to break the shell of the turtle formation. Most of the Huns who were just bone arrows had no way to break the defense of the turtle formation. The catapult's participation in the battle also became the last straw that crushed the camels. Countless old, weak, women and children were forced to drive countless cattle and sheep to go south again, heading south towards the mountainous Shangdang County. At the same time, one or two thousand young and strong Huns at Tianmen Pass, after leaving hundreds of old and weak Han people and twenty or thirty Huns, one or two thousand Huns left the hopeless pass overnight...

"Big brother!Big brother..."

Dong Xiaoyi hurriedly broke into the military tent and woke Dong Hu in a daze.

"What happened?"

Listening to the panic outside, Dong Hu was shocked, but Dong Xiaoyi looked surprised.

"Brother, the Huns have fled. Sun Niu and Gu are bringing soldiers into Tianmen Pass!"

"What?"

Dong Hu suddenly stood up and got up to check the truth.

"Don't stay here, and immediately lead your brothers into Jinyang, and immediately confirm where the main force of the Huns was, whether they were hiding in Jinyang City, or going south to Hedong County to join Guo Tai's troops."

"promise!"

Dong Xiaoyi hugged and wanted to step forward to help Dong Hu put on armor, but Dong Hu waved his hand to stop him.

"Don't worry about us, go and investigate the traces of the Huns immediately... By the way, you must also be careful whether Yufuro sets up an ambush halfway. The more critical the moment, the more careful you must be!"

"promise!"

Dong Xiaoyi stopped talking, and then strode out of the tent after holding a punch. As soon as he opened the curtain, he saw Dong Mao approaching with a crutch.

"The eldest son."

"Well. You can go ahead and do it."

Dong Mao said casually, Dong Xiaoyi hugged and left on his own, while Dong Mao entered the tent with the woman beside him, just as he saw Dong Hu wearing clothes and armor in a hurry.

"Matchmaker, please help Tiger Baby."

Dong Mao said, "The double-ten woman came forward to help, but Dong Hu instinctively wanted to stop him..."

"It's not an outsider, so don't refuse Huwa."

After Dong Mao said this, Dong Hu no longer felt pretentious and opened his arms and allowed Wuwan woman to help him tie his clothes and armor.

"Huwa, where do you think... Yufuluo and Huchuquan will escape?"

After listening to Dong Xiaoyi's words suddenly, Dong Hu did not think too much. After Dong Mao asked about this, he suddenly realized that the Huns did not have many choices to escape.

Don’t think about Xihe County in the west. After Yu Fuluo and Huchuquan rebelled, they would not be able to continue to stay in Lishi County and flee to Jizhou in the east. Isn’t that nonsense? Not to mention the Huns, even if Dong Hu wanted to go to Jizhou, where there were many people, the wealthy families of major aristocratic families would never allow it, let alone the rebellious Yu Fuluo and Huchuquan brothers.

Dong Hu frowned and said, "The Baibo army was actually the people of Hedong County who rebelled. The Huns led by Yu Fuluo and Huchuquan did not suffer severe damage. They still had 50,000 elderly, weak, women and children. If they joined forces with the Baibo army, they would have nearly 200,000 people. Although most of them were old, weak and farmers, there were 50,000 people at all... "

Speaking of this, Dong Hu's brows were even more frowning. The geographical location of Hedong County was extremely important. You could enter the Sanfu of Chang'an to the west and enter Luoyang to the east. Such an important strategic location, once all 200,000 rebels were rampant in Hedong County, the court would definitely dispatch troops to surround him. Just as under another wheel, Dong Zhuo was rebelling from these people to move him from Meiyang Camp to Hedong to defend him.

There are wolves in front and tigers in the back. Once Yu Fuluo, Huchuquan and Bo meet. Once the tension in Luoyang arouses, these people will eventually die in Hedong County. It is basically impossible to enter the Sanfu of Chang'an by using this. What's more, in order to chase them, Dong Hu went south this time with 10,000 elite cavalry of Shuofang County, 10,000 Han cavalry and 3,000 heavy armored cavalry. With these cavalry hunting, it is basically impossible to escape from the Hedong County Plain and Guanzhong Plain.

Dong Hu couldn't help looking out of the tent.

"Come!"

Dong Jian, who was guarding outside the tent, hurriedly lifted the curtain and walked in.

"Master."

"Immediately go find Xiao Yi and Gu and tell them that if Jinyang is empty, Xiao Yi will take the people to Shangdang County, and Gu will take the people south to Hedong County and tell them to be careful!"

Dong Jian clasped his fists heavily.

"promise!"

After Dong Jian left, Dong Hu smiled bitterly.

"Yu Fuluo, the two brothers Hu Chuquan are Xiaoqiang, so they can do it too much!"

Dong Mao didn't know what Xiaoqiang was, but this was not important. After thinking about it, he sighed softly.

"They will most likely not go south to Hedong County. Even if they enter Hedong County, they will probably only plunder them, and then turn around and flee into the mountains. Finally... they will have a high possibility of asking for surrender to the court."

Dong Hu agreed with Dong Mao's judgment very much, and then sighed.

"If the Huns wanted to surrender to the court, the possibility of fleeing to Hedong County would be much smaller. It is unlikely that the court would immediately seek pacification of Hedong County after they had just robbed Hedong County, and the possibility of fleeing to Shangdang County would be much greater."

Although Dong Hu had never been in the court, he knew that after the Huns rebelled in Taiyuan County, it would take a while for the court to plead them. He was hesitant and it was unlikely that they would immediately recruit them. This period of time became an opportunity for Dong Hu to continue pursuing them.

The greater the harm the Huns caused to the Han Dynasty, the greater the hesitation of the court in pursuing them, and the greater the risk for the fleeing Huns. Shangdang County is full of mountains, which can allow the Huns to hide for longer. If they are too anxious, they can even enter Jizhou to escape from Dong Hu's pursuit.
