Dong Hu patted Liu Bian's head with his backhand and smiled, "Bian's father is alive. As long as his father doesn't send troops to attack us, he doesn't think about chopping our heads all day long, we and my brothers will not rebel. Similarly, my uncle will not slash our heads. We will also serve the Dong family honestly. Even if the third uncle is in charge and the brother is in charge of the family in the future, as long as we can maintain the Liangzhou army and not be in chaos, we will be honest and obedient."

"But we are ugly in the front. Bian's father didn't give us money or food, so we just listened to the command or not. If you want to interfere in our military affairs, you don't think so. Uncle doesn't give us money or food to support 200,000 brothers. We have the same attitude."

Dong Mao sighed in his heart. He was a farmer in the court and knew very well how much money and grain there was in Taicang. Dong Zhuo's own direct troops could not afford to support Dong Buyi, let alone support Dong Buyi's 200,000 troops.

Seeing Dong Mao smiled bitterly, Dong Hu smiled and said, "Do you still remember Song Jian from Shihan?"

Dong Mao was stunned. He didn't know what he meant to mention the Jishishan horse bandit Song Jian, but he still nodded silently, but Dong Hu sighed softly.

"When we captured bones, we once told the bones a story about 'fish'..."

Dong Hu roughly explained the story of Xiangxiong tribe on the plateau and said: "The Xiangxiong Kingdom has been passed down for a long time, much longer than the Han Dynasty. The reason why it has been passed down for thousands of years is that Xiangxiong Kingdom is the isolated fish, which has remained unchanged for thousands of years."

"When we captured the bones, when we took Didao and captured Song Jian, we told them about the 'Thousand-year-old chieftain, a hundred-year-old dynasty'. A dynasty is like a person from birth to growth, and then to death in old age."

"There is nothing in the world that remains unchanged. Even stones will gradually break due to the wind and sun. The Western Zhou Dynasty destroyed Shang, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty moved the capital Luoyi, and the Qin Dynasty unified the world, and then Taizu established the capital Chang'an, and then Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Guangwu established the capital Luoyang... In fact, when Emperor Guangwu established the capital Luoyang, it was already a new dynasty, but they were all descendants of the Liu family."

"But the chieftains are different. The chieftains are similar to the vassal states, and are very different from the vassal states near the grassland. The grassland has thousands of miles of territory, and herdsmen can travel a hundred miles a day, and tens of thousands of string control horses can gather in tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of string control hands. Such places must not implement the chieftain and vassal state system. This will allow the grassland tribes to have a stable opportunity to recuperate and become the enemy of the people of the Central Plains!"

After Dong Hu said such words, Dong Mao and Liu Bian couldn't help but show some strange looks. According to this statement, hasn't Dong Buyicheng become a great enemy of the Central Plains?

"What are your eyes? It seems like we have become a bad guy and want to harm the world..."

Dong Hu muttered for a moment of dissatisfaction and sighed: "Tashi is not suitable for the thousands of miles of grasslands, but it is very suitable for the plateau with high mountains and ridges. There are few people and dense jungles, which are extremely difficult to attack and manage. Because the mountains are poor and difficult to support people, even if they have been cultivated for thousands of years, they are still so many people."

"The reason why the chieftain can last for thousands of years is because the chieftain's geographical location is relatively remote and has a very small threat to the Central Plains dynasty. Regardless of whether the dynasty exists or not, it is there. When this dynasty exists, it obeys this dynasty. If another dynasty changes, it obeys another dynasty. The rise and fall of the dynasty cannot affect the existence of the chieftain."

Looking at Dong Mao, Dong Hu sighed, "The reason why the bone surrendered to us is that we promised him that as long as we don't die, we will give him a thousand-year-old toast in the future. Do you understand what we mean by saying these words?"

As he said that, Dong Hu sighed softly again.

"We have 200,000 troops, and the only ones that can be used are 50,000. Logically speaking, we should be in Liangzhou now and stabilize the newly recovered Liangzhou. If Liangzhou is stable enough, we should lead our troops to Pingcheng... For us, the Xianbei people and the Wuhuan people are the real enemy."

"If we really deal with the Xianbei people and Wuwan people, if the world is stable and unrest, we will command 100,000 elite troops, drive away tens of millions of cattle and sheep to expedition to the Western Regions, and follow the footsteps of the Huns all the way west..."

Dong Hu suddenly scratched his head and grinned.

"Brother, you don't know. Follow the steps of the Huns, go westward, cross the Tianshan Mountains, first defeat Kangju Kingdom, then south to defeat Daxia Kingdom, and then south to Tianzhu, which is a treasure land, especially rich in gold and copper."

"The terrain of India is special. It is a desert to the west, a steep mountain plateau to the east, and a sea to the south. It is only an entrance and exit to the north. It is a natural place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. These are nothing. The key is that the terrain there is flat, the vast area is fertile plains, and the people are honest and easy to manage."

Dong Hu smiled and said, "Across the Tianshan Mountains, it is Kangju Kingdom, the Daxia Kingdom, and the Tianzhu Kingdom, and then it is Anxi Kingdom, followed by the Daqin Kingdom... The Huns were forced to move westward without fighting our Han Dynasty, but they could sweep the entire Western Regions, which were rich in gold and silver. We brought 100,000 tigers and wolves, and we could stab the Huns in the back and steal their territory and gold and silver!"

When he heard "grabbing money", Dong Mao couldn't help but smile bitterly, but he could understand Dong Hu's words. If the Central Plains were not in chaos, he would definitely bring Liang and 100,000 elite troops to the west. As for why he knew so many things in the Western Regions and had liked to dig up merchants in the Western Regions since he was a child, how could he not know about things in the Western Regions?

"well……"

Dong Mao sighed, and patted him on the shoulder and said nothing. Dong Hu seemed to know his intentions and no longer said troublesome words. He accompanied him out of the hall and kicked his horse out of the gate of Henan County...

Until the figure disappeared, Dong Hu turned around and returned with his people. Five days were still a little rushed. Many miscellaneous things still needed to be prepared. He also needed to write a letter to Dong Hou, the prefect of Hedong County, Yao Shan, the governor of Bingzhou, and Yao Yong, the remaining guard in Pingcheng, asking them to prepare food.

The two brothers separated, and Dong Mao did not stop all the way. When he returned to Luoyang, he found his father Dong Zhuo sitting in the hall, and a group of generals stood silently on both sides. Unlike the usual drinking and having fun, everyone bowed their heads and said nothing...

"Father."

There was not much change on Dong Mao's face, and he punched Dong Zhuo with a gloomy face, and then he roughly told Dong Hu's military discussion today...

"snort!"

It would be fine if anything else. When Dong Mao hesitated to say the words "The people are the food of dragons", Dong Zhuo couldn't help but snorted coldly, and there was a little bitterness on Dong Mao's face.

"I would like to calm my anger. Huwa also said that if his father could not save the lives of the people who moved the capital, if he took out money and grain, the people would naturally become Dongbu Yicong's tenant support..."

"Uncle must not!"

All the generals were not idiots, and Dong Hu could no longer be straightforward. Dong Huang spoke out anxiously against him.

"Uncle, this matter must not be done! If the people are given to the tiger's widows, what should we do with our soldiers?"

As he said that, Dong Huang looked at Dong Mao with anger again.

"If I really want to move the capital in February, let alone the millions of acres of wheat on the fields become his food, even if all the wheat within the eight gates becomes his, it would be too cheap, right?"

"Do you want to say that your second brother is willing to stay in Luoyang to harvest wheat?"

"Brother, you..."

"Okay!"

"Bang!"

Valley

Dong Huang was about to be dissatisfied with Dong Mao, but Dong Zhuo slapped him on the table, and Dong Huang could only retreat aside.

"snort!"

Dong Zhuo snorted coldly again, but he didn't know which one to be angry with. He was originally questioning the boy's judgment, but after Hanoi County sent a letter today, he knew that he had no way out.

"Xu Rong."

Dong Zhuo suddenly looked at the general Xu Rong. Xu Rong did not hesitate and stepped forward and clasped his fists.

"The last one will be here!"

"Train Luoyang Camp to Ao Cang to transport grain, and be sure to transport all the grain in Ao Cang into Taicang."

"ah?"

Xu Rong was very surprised.

"Lord, there is no much food in Ao Cang. It is the coldest time of winter. Luoyang Camp has insufficient warmth. If you transport grain at this time, the brothers in the army..."

"Bang!"

"Even if there is only one grain of food, I have to transport it back to Taicang with us-"

Dong Zhuo was furious and swept off the small table and served drinks. The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tighter, and all the generals bowed their heads and dared not speak out...

"Niu Fu!"

Niu Fu did not dare to hesitate and hurried forward. Before he could speak, Dong Zhuo snorted coldly again.

"snort!"

"Three million stones!"

"No matter what method you use, you must take out three million stones of grain within a month!"

Niu Fu was shocked. He had two million stones two days ago, but now it has become three million stones again. He had never thought about it...

"father in law……"

"Bang!"

Dong Zhuo almost slapped Xiaoji into two pieces.

"I've given you a million acres of land. Whether you steal or rob, if you can't take out three million stones of grain in a month... we'll peel your skin alive-"

Dong Zhuo knew that Ao Cang had no more grain, and knew that three million stones of grain were one million acres of land and all the output was collected next summer, but he knew even more that if he could not take out so much grain, Dong Hu would definitely use the grain to seize the millions of people in Luoyang.

After kicking Xiaoji away, Dong Zhuo left in a furious manner, and only a group of sad generals were left in the hall...

"asshole!"

"Thuwa is just a bastard-"

The buzzing hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone turned their heads and looked at each other, just as they saw the angry Dong Huang standing in front of Dong Mao.

"If my Dong family hadn't helped me back then, how could the bastard have been prosperous and prosperous today?"

"But what about him-"

"My uncle charges in front of him, but that bastard occupies the three servants of Chang'an behind his back. Today, he bewitches his uncle and moves the capital, and he wants to swallow millions of people in Luoyang in one bite..."

"What does he want to do?"

"He is going to destroy the foundation of my Dong family-"

Dong Huang was furious. He thought he would never have to look at people's faces from now on, but he hadn't been proud for a few days. The damn bastard ran over and everything changed...

"The foundation of the Dong family..."

Dong Mao looked at everyone in the hall, including his uncle Dong Min, and he didn't let him go. What's strange is that he smiled brighter and brighter on his face...

"hehe……"

"When my father left Lintao and Liangzhou, the Dong family had no foundation."

The generals' expressions changed wildly. Dong Mao ignored Dong Huang, who was pale, and stood silently in front of Dong Min with a crutch. Looking at his uncle who was already fifty years old, he didn't know what it felt...

"Uncle Second is watching Huwa grow up. He doesn't think Huwa is really stupid, right? He knows that some words will anger his father, but why did he say it?"
