The Three Kingdoms were filled with countless conspiracies and betrayals. If it were not helpless, the initial entrepreneurship was dominated by generals from family backgrounds, especially the army built on the military system of the Han Dynasty.

The military system and official system of the Han Dynasty were mainly recommended, and officials were recommended, and the same was true for generals. Whether it was the Three Dukes, the Prefect or the General of the First Army, they all had the right to "open the government" on their own, that is, they all had the right to appoint officials and generals below themselves, and this was an extremely dangerous thing, and it was easy to turn the army into their own private property.

When the Han Dynasty still had the ability to restrain itself, it was recruited and disbanded after the war. Even if the generals had the right to "open the government", they would not easily create a large-scale prince because the time was too short. However, once the world was in chaos, the soldiers could not disband and return home. The right to "open the government" temporarily would be infinitely magnified and would become a prince with real power in a town. In this way, family management was more stable. But even so, Cao Cao would lead the army in person every battle, fearing that the Cao family and Xiahou family would have more impact on the army than him.

As long as the army is based on the "recommendation" system of the Han Dynasty, any general who independently leads troops is extremely dangerous and is a potential prince in the future. However, Dong Buyicheng is different. Dong Buyicheng's general promotion is not controlled by the general. In addition to Dong Hu having the privilege of promoting one person as a general, generals at all levels must be assessed by the "left deputy general and left deputy team" in the army. In fact, Dong Hu established a "staff" assessment and promotion system.

The promotion of generals at all levels is not controlled by the sixteen deputy generals. In addition to having the power of commanding and combat in wartime, they cannot even intervene in logistics and military training, which minimizes the possibility of becoming a prince in the same place. Of course, there are no restrictions on the position of "general manager", but those who can serve as general manager are all brothers that Dong Hu absolutely trusts, and can also be regarded as "family-style" management.

Betrayals come one after another, and only those who hold the power are the people within the family. Just as Han Sui's generals only have son-in-law Yan Xing, Ma Teng and later Ma Chao still rely on a group of Ma family descendants? After Pang De got sick in Hanzhong, if it were Dong Hu, once he decided to leave Hanzhong and defect to Liu Bei, he would carry his brothers away no matter what. Zhang Lu of Hanzhong was naturally hostile to Shu County in Yizhou, so he ran to join Liu Bei and left Pang De in Hanzhong for death. What is this not betrayal? In this way, it is not surprising that Pang De later surrendered to Cao Cao, nor is it surprising why Pang De did not surrender until death after Guan Yu captured him, and later Pang De's son slaughtered Guan Yu's family.

Ma Chao abandoned his brothers of life and death and owed Pang De an explanation. Liu Bei accepted Ma Chao, and Liu Bei also took over the cause and effect caused by Ma Chao. When Guan Yu captured Pang De, if he put the person back, it would be a reward for Pang De's kindness to follow him into Hanzhong for Ma Chao, ending this cause and effect. The next time he fought, it would be a matter on the battlefield, not a cause and effect between individuals. But Guan Yu killed Pang De, and this cause and effect fell on his descendants.

Whether it is Ma Teng, Ma Chao and his son, or Han Sui, they have few generals who can take action. In contrast to them, Dong Zhuo threw out a general at the level of the commander-level of the First Army. However, it is difficult for the Liangzhou people to pee into a pot. It is better to have a strong leader. Once the big leader is gone, they will start to have a quarrel and fight, and they will start to fight in the middle of the battle.

The most powerful proof of a commander's mind is whether the generals below have a certain degree of independent combat power. After Pang Rou talked about the situation of Dong Hu's ten deputy generals, Pang De could only bow his head and agree in the end, and did not even wait too long. On the second day, he asked for the striker to be the main attacker, which also made the generals of Longxi County look strange.

The leaders of Qiang and Han dynasties in Longxi County were unwilling to fight with Dong Hu to the death, but the eyes of the Huangzhong Yiconghu under Han Sui's name were red and he wanted to start a war with Dong Hu immediately. After they agreed to serve as the main attack, Han Sui and Ma Teng did not hesitate too much and directly led 100,000 to the west, especially Han Sui. If they had fought directly under Yuzhong City, there would be no such thing as Dong Hu's attack into the Hehuang Valley. After suffering a hesitant loss, Han Sui and Ma Teng did not hesitate and directly led people to the Jincheng Pass, but they did not know that this was not the same day. Dong Hu could pinch his nose and bow to the court, but today...

Dong Hu was planting cotton in the field with his wife and children. He came to Liangzhou from Bingzhou. In a short time, he could not return to Pingcheng. He brought all the farm tools, grain plants, cotton plants, etc., so he wanted to farm and recuperate in Liangzhou first.

The cotton fields in Pingcheng are more than a year, and almost every woman has learned to weave cloth. In this regard, the people in the Hehuang Valley are better than those in Pingcheng. Not only are there cotton planting, but also pepper and onion and garlic planting. Liangzhou is poor and poor. If you want long-term stability, you must give people a certain economic income. Compared with the economic potential of Bingzhou, Liangzhou is much worse. It is mainly because of road problems. Fur can also be produced. Fur from the south and north of the desert can easily enter Datong Town and Xuanfu Town, which can easily be transported into the inland through the Hebei Plain. Liangzhou is too difficult. The Silk Road in the Western Regions only sells goods of higher value, rather than bulk goods such as fur and tea bricks.

Liangzhou's economic chain is too fragile, so there are some things that Dong Hu is not willing to promote in Bingzhou, but chooses to plant widely in Hehuang Valley. Of course, even so, Liang and Bingzhou cannot truly become rich within decades. There are too few people, the market is small, and it is easy to eat and wear warm clothes. It is extremely difficult to jingle the copper coins in your pocket.

Dong Hu was taking his wife and children to plant cotton. Sun Niu, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang and others rushed over. They were still far away. He saw a group of brothers riding horses, but he didn't care too much. He still stuck his butt and digged the soil. The bitter baby, who couldn't help, followed him to plant. As for the babies... he was tired and was playing with Ajie.

"Master...Master..."

Sun Niu was so anxious that he was afraid that others would compete for merit like him. He became a general in command of the army, and sometimes he was like a young boy.

"Lord, the old boy Han Sui finally showed up!"

Sun Niu ran closer, his forehead was covered with sweat, and his helmet was tilted to one side. Dong Hu felt amused. He patted the soil on his hands twice before throwing down his huge hoe and speaking without hesitation as he walked towards the ridge of the fields.

"He dares to show his head, we just hit him. Is it necessary to make such a fuss?"

Sun Niu was stunned and scratched his big head again.

"It's true... He dares to come, we Hei Niu beat him up!"

"hehe……"

Dong Hu hugged the thick and stupid man and shook it twice.

"You, Hei Niu, have not fought with anyone for several years. Today's battle is directed by you. We will help you protect the flanks. You are not allowed to lose your links with us!"

Sun Niu was overjoyed and quickly patted his chest loudly.

"Don't worry, lord! Don't look at that old guy with more than 100,000 people, we Hei Niu only need 20,000 people to beat his shit out!"

Sun Niu is the first general under Dong Hu's name. Although due to insufficient mining personnel and insufficient steel production, Dong Hu still equipped him with 5,000 fully-armored heavy infantry. The weapon used is an eight-foot slashing saber. The shape of the knife is similar to that of a large ring knife. The back of the knife has nine rings and barbs-shaped biting teeth. The thick back of the knife is conducive to chopping and increasing damage. The iron ring increases weight. The two are conducive to splitting the flesh and blood when cutting out the flesh and blood. The iron ring and inverted teeth are conducive to biting the enemy's chopping blade. The eight-foot slashing knife can be chopping and protruding the tip of the knife can be used for spear-like piercing. In addition, it is also equipped with a hand hammer in close combat. With the 5,000 heavy armored infantry in Sun Niu's hand, he is the first general under Dong Hu.

Dong Hu's ease also affected all the generals, and they all came to the field with laughter and laughter. The group of generals did not bother to be dirty and sat directly on the ridges of the fields.

"More than 100,000 thieves seem to be a lot, but in our eyes they are a group of mobs. As long as they hit the head-on, they will easily defeat the other party. But you should also know that since Han Sui and Ma Teng dared to give up their backs and fight us, they must have convinced Huangfu Song that fighting with us is just a letter of surrender to the court."

Sun Niu said angrily: "It must be that Huangfu Song wanted to do another thing to recruit thieves! Lord, brothers are all very angry. We can't be like we used to be!"

"hehe……"

Dong Hu couldn't help but smile, turned to look at Dong Jian in person, with a smile on his face.

"Immediately send Dong Chong and Dong Gu to leave 10,000 cavalry for Xiao Yi, and all the rest are transferred here, remember that it is one person and two cavalry."

"promise!"

Dong Jian left with his fists. Dong Hu looked at his favorite generals and smiled and said, "It is not difficult to defeat Han Sui. One or two thousand elite cavalrymen rushed to fight. We have the advantage of speed. They will harass them when they are too many people. They will rush to their cattle, sheep and supplies. As long as they kill their supplies, Han Sui, Ma Teng will be defeated!"

"But this is not the result we want. What we want is to severely damage them and wipe them out! Especially the entire Huangzhong Yicong Baihu!"

Dong Hu patted Sun Niu on the shoulder and smiled and said, "It is not enough for Hei Niu to have more than 10,000 elite infantrymen. Two-legged infantrymen can't run through four-legged war horses."

As he said that, Dong Hu looked at Zhang Liao again, Xu Huang, and said, "There are not many soldiers and horses in the Hehuang Valley. Er Ya and San Ya brought out 35,000 cavalry from the valley. Five thousand young cavalry and five thousand heavy armored cavalry are merged together. They are led by Dong Chong and will be our personal army in the future."

"You two each lead 5,000 cavalry, and Xiao Yi can lead 10,000 cavalry, and the remaining 10,000 cavalry will be sent to Pingcheng. We have drawn too many young and strong people in Pingcheng and need some more mobile troops to supplement it."

The generals nodded silently. There were originally 30,000 infantry soldiers in Pingcheng, but 10,000 were left in Taiyuan County. Hu San took 5,000 to Luoyang. This time, Dong Hu mobilized another 10,000. Pingcheng's defense basically relied on a group of women. Some supplements were necessary, so it was safe. However, this kind of mobilization would take more time, not just a problem of soldiers, but also the mobilization of the family members of the army.

He can do not need to carry the fields, cattle, sheep, and food. He will double the compensation in Pingcheng for the amount of losses. But even so, it will not be a matter of one day or another, especially the young children in the family, or big-bellied women, which cannot be migrated thousands of miles in a short period of time.

"Hei Niu, in addition to the 10,000 infantry under your name, we will also hand over our ten thousand soldiers to you. Wen Yuan, Gong Ming, Zhong Xiao and Jieyi are all transferred into your army. We will give you 20,000 infantry and 20,000 cavalry. You will be the central army, and you will help you cut off Han Sui's retreat and help you defend your flanks. If you can't show the might of Lintao people in this battle, don't blame us for stripping you of armor!"

When Sun Niu heard that he had 40,000 soldiers and horses in his hand, he was overjoyed!

"Don't worry, lord!"

"With 40,000 troops, we can definitely capture Han Sui and Ma Teng alive!"
Chapter completed!
