Dong Hu knew in his heart that no matter how well he said, as long as he spoke, he cut off the contact between the leaders of the Black Mountain Army and the soldiers below... or the people, they would instinctively feel uneasy. If Dong Hu himself had asked him to give up his military power, it would have been absolutely unwilling.

There is no difference between putting down military power and binding one's hands. No one can easily do such stupid things. Dong Hu knew that Zhang Yan and the leaders of the Heishan Army would not agree, at least not in a short period of time. But if Dong Hu was willing to take out Shangdang County to them and make them an independent military town, then there would be no problem. The key is...Does Dong Hu allow them to become an independent military town within himself that is not listened to and mobilized?

Dong Hu absolutely did not allow anyone under his name to fail to comply with the military orders, nor would he allow the Heishan Army to reunite with the Huns who hid in the mountains. He would not agree to the conditions for the Heishan Army to occupy Shangdang County, but he did not want to force him too much.

"Some things...even if I don't say it, you should know your situation. The thalassin in the mountains is difficult to support too many people. If you live in peace with the court, you can barely cultivate some mountain fields to support yourself. But you should know that this situation cannot last long. The court will not allow you to lead your own soldiers for a long time and the people!"

"At the war, you will not only be able to support 100,000 elderly, weak, women and children, but you will not be able to stop the joint attack between Jizhou and this general. Therefore... as long as your Black Mountain Army guards two bottom lines, this general will be willing to live in peace with the Black Mountain Army."

Dong Hu was more willing to completely swallow the Yellow Turban Army with peaceful means, but if they crossed some bottom line, they would force him to start a war. After hearing these words, Wang Dang, Sun Qing and others had to stand up and hold their fists.

"I would like to ask General Dong to make a clear statement."

Wang Dang and Sun Qing knew very well what Dong Hu said, and did not dare to be careless about Dong Hu. He also seemed respectful and low-key in front of him.

"First point, to the west of the Taihang Mountains, including Shangai County here, you cannot plunder any acts of looting the people, and you cannot plunder any merchant carriages or camels with the flag "Dong" and cannot hinder merchants' exchanges."

"The second point is that the Huns killed this general, the envoy of the Great Chief. How do you cooperate with them is your business, but! You cannot interfere in the war between Bingzhou and the Huns, and you cannot trade iron tools with the Huns."

Dong Hu said: "Many people in our army have the same roots as you. For this reason, I am unwilling to go to war with you, and I am unwilling to die in large numbers of people in the mountains to die due to hunger. For this reason, I can even sell some iron farm tools to you, so that you can farm in the mountains, and you can also lend you food and sell some swords and weapons. There is no problem with these, but if you plunder the merchants of Bingzhou along the way and trade swords with the Huns, it means war!"

"As long as you dare to cross the line, I promise that even if you hide in the mountains, I can kill you all in one or two years!"

Sun Qing hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "General is kind, our army will never dare to violate the general's rules. If anyone dares to plunder the merchant, the villain will chop off his head without the general's actions. But... it's just that the general knows that the mountains are poor, and our army may not be able to buy it."

Dong Hu smiled and said, "We can't interfere in the business of merchants. We can't let the merchants lose money, right? But you can use the people as money. Just count five hundred yuan per person. Regardless of men, women, young and old, as long as they are people, they can be sold to us."

Not only was the Black Mountain Army a little stunned, but even Dong Chong was stunned and opened his mouth slightly...

"As the general said!"

Without waiting for others to speak, Wang Dang agreed decisively, and Dong Hu nodded slightly.

"That's all. Shangai County has been under my jurisdiction from now on. This general will station thousands of soldiers here and set up a merchant warehouse here. If you have any transactions, just let someone come and trade."

Dong Hu lost interest in continuing to talk, stood up and looked at Liu Pi, Pei Yuanzhao and Huang Long.

"Yuan Zhao."

Pei Yuanzhao quickly stood up and stood up.

"General Wang Dang is also brothers with you. With us here, you are not very comfortable. You can treat all the brothers of the Black Mountain Army on your behalf."

"promise!"

...

They were all the Yellow Turban Army with the same roots. Dong Hu was a little more harsh to Wu Ba, Liu Pi, Pei Yuanshao, Huang Long and others at the beginning. However, as a few years passed, some of the best performers of all sizes and qualifying commanders of all sizes became members of Dong Buyi from each army, and some even became battalion generals of two thousand people, but most of them were squadron leaders and squad leader lying on the first level. It was not because Dong Hu was biased, but although these people were the best among the 200,000 Yellow Turban Army, they were still a group of farmers after all. Compared with the 5,000 Hehuang Valley soldiers brought out by Dong Hu, they were still far behind in the military battle.

Before the Yellow Turban Army rebelled, there was no real peasant rebellion, and the people didn't know how to rebel. Their rebellion was almost like a child's house. But over the years, they were almost the same as the Liangshan heroes who later became kings. If most of these leaders were the Yellow Turban Army in Quyang, if they hadn't fought with Dong Hu head-on, how could they be so respectful when they met Dong Hu? Honestly, they would have been like Zhang Fei, who was irritable.

Seeing Dong Hu leaving the hall, Wang Dang, Sun Qing and others were relieved. Seeing that his brother had been like this, Huang Long came to Wang Dang with a wine pot. Sun Qing and the others sat down next to him and sighed.

"Brothers, don't blame me for being too talkative. Today, there is no one who is so kind except the lord. The lord publicly said that he would be a county magistrate. As long as you don't do anything, you will have more future in the future, but if you... you will be a county magistrate at most, and want to have a future..."

Wang Dang looked around and saw that there were generals of the Yellow Turban Army in the hall. He leaned slightly closer to the Yellow Dragon and his voice lowered a little.

"Huanglong, you mean... General Dong doesn't believe me, I want..."

"hehe……"

Liu Pi and Pei Yuanzhao walked up to the few people with a wooden cup. They didn't care much and directly sat opposite Wang on the same table.

"Wang Dang, are you trying to say that your lord will kill the donkey? If your lord wants to kill you, do you really need such trouble?"

Pei Yuanzhao looked at Wang Dang who was glaring at him and sighed: "Although Brother Liu's words are a bit bad, they are also the truth. The lord even the Huns and Xianbei people can fight and run away in all directions. If you want to kill you... you'd better hide away."

Pei Yuanzhao shook his head and sighed again.

"The lord is now speaking and sincerely invites you brothers. If you surrender today, you will be brothers in the future. If you surrender to you in the future, what is that? How can you be valued by your lord?"

Sun Qing frowned and said, "Even if Brother Pei makes sense, you guys have become generals under General Dong's name. Isn't that the same thing still the case? How can General Dong really trust you?"

After hearing this, Liu Pi, Pei Yuanshao, and Huang Long were probably a little annoyed, but the three of them shook their heads and smiled bitterly.

"Brother Sun wants to say that we are just a young master who is with the lord? But you don't know that others can't stay with the lord for more time!"

"Do you think that Brother Huanglong is harming you? Have you ever thought about it? Do you have the ability to manage the people of a county well? Have you brought five hundred and one thousand soldiers?"

Listening to Liu Pi's words, Wang Dang was immediately displeased and said, "Wang has thousands of brothers, why can't he bring a thousand soldiers?"

Liu Pi and Pei Yuanshao are the Yellow Turban Army in Yuzhou, which is one layer separate from the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou, but Huanglong is the authentic little commander of the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou. After hearing Wang Dang's words, he was displeased.

"Your Majesty, please take a look! There are only a few thousand people in yours. If the lord gives me five hundred soldiers, I can chase you and fight! Don't stare at me and be dissatisfied! Even the thousands of beggars you brought with you also call soldiers?"

Huang Long was not polite to Wang Dang who was staring at him and said, "Now, follow your lord, that's brother, let you be the county magistrate who is ignorant of your words. That's the lord who has been polite! But after you have been the county magistrate for a few years, as long as you don't mess around and as long as there is no mistake in a few years, even if you become the prefect in the future, it's nothing."

"But, if you surrender again in ten years, the lord will allocate all counties, counties, and even the leaders of all army early. If you surrender again, who do you think the lord will use? Can you use the people you can't read or use those who have been trained for several years?"

The leaders of the Yellow Turban Army were basically ignorant of large characters, which is the most common phenomenon in the peasant army. However, since following Dong Hu, they have also needed to read and read at night, even though they can't write many characters so far, but if they label each character with pinyin or something, they can also understand a letter in vernacular.

Pei Yuanshao used a wooden spoon and Huanglong to pour wine, but said, "Don't you don't believe the words of the Huanglong brothers. If you do everything now, you will listen to your lord's lord's affairs. As long as you don't die, as long as you are loyal, you will have your wealth in the future. But ten years later... you are not even as big as the young army's big ones. The young army's big ones can be the generals and the prefect, and you... at most you will be the county magistrate like you are now, and that's what you will do until you die."

After hearing Pei Yuanshao's words, Liu Pi couldn't help but smile bitterly and sighed: "Brother Pei is right, those babies are better than us..."

Wang Dang, Sun Qing and others looked unbelievable, but Liu Pi, Pei Yuanshao, Huang Long and others knew that Dong Hu attached great importance to the children, and the children of the young army would inevitably be big shots in all aspects of military, political, civil and legal affairs in the future.

Listening to Liu Pi and others' words, Wang Dang frowned slightly, but Sun Qing was shaken in his heart. After looking at the few people, hesitated to speak.

"General Dong is kind, it's good to join General Dong now, but... this matter is too serious, and I, Sun Qing, still needs to discuss with other brothers to accomplish this."

Huang Long said indifferently: "Don't think I'm rude. Why did we rebel back then? Isn't it still thinking that life is better for everyone? But now, it's better to hide in the mountains and hide in fear? Leading a group of beggars in ragged clothes and have no meals after eating, that's also called power? Not to mention the nonsense that someone had chopped his head off!"

Pei Yuanshao reached out and pulled Huang Long. Looking at Wang Dang, Sun Qing and the others smiled.

"You can't decide everyone's affairs, so it's good to discuss it. But since the lord said that you can't rob merchants and collude with the Huns, you must never do such a thing again! If you do it, our brothers will meet each other in the future, don't blame us for not being sympathetic!"

Pei Yuanshao said, Liu Pi and Huang Long looked solemn and nodded together.
