This era is full of conspiracy and betrayal. It is hard to say who will be the next rebel. After many wars, the generals under him are separated in various prefectures and counties. In order to control all parties more safely, there must be some secret spies hiding in the darkness. This is the main reason why he brought out the Jinyiwei in advance. Guo Sheng is his eyeliner in the palace. Not only is he looking at the little emperor Liu Xie, but also the little eunuch, and the palace maids staring at Liu Bian, He and Tang Ji.

Dong Hu never thought that Liu Bian was a threat. Even if Liu Bian had any ideas, he would not care too much. The only thing he cared about was that Liu Bian could not collude with Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao and others, and could not make Nanyang County an enemy in Luoyang.

Nanyang County is extremely important. From Nanyang County to the south, he can directly enter the heart of Dongwu along the Yangtze River, or into Sichuan and Shu. His strategic position is extremely important, but these are not what Dong Hu values. He values ​​the iron ore of Nanyang County!

There are iron ore and coal in Shangdang County, but Shangdang County has few people and roads are difficult to move. There is no problem with small workshops to smelify iron, and it is difficult to produce larger output. Nanyang County is different. Nanyang County has a population of 2.5 million, which is more than Liang and all the people. Most of them are plains and have always been an extremely important industrial base in the Han Dynasty.

It’s not that he didn’t want to let the generals occupy Nanyang County directly, but in this way, he would inevitably have a conflict with Yuan Shu of Yuzhou and Liu Biao of Jingzhou in the future. If Yuan Shao of Jizhou and Cao Cao of Yanzhou were added to him, the result was that just like now, Henan Yin Land still faces siege in the north, east and south directions. This is not the situation he wants to face.

What he wanted was the iron ore in Nanyang County, and the security in the south of Luoyang. Whether Liu Bian wanted to be independent or become his younger brother, as long as he was not hostile to him, as long as he did not join forces with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others to siege Luoyang, he could give Liu Bian more support.

Once a person's character is developed, it is difficult to change. Dong Hu does not believe that Liu Bian will be an enemy of him, but it does not mean that he will not be in opposition in the end. The main reason is that the people around him, such as Tang Ji's brother Tang Zhao.

Zhang Jun is the eunuch in Zhang Feng’s mansion. According to the news he sent, it is still impossible to determine whether Tang Zhao wanted to find a way out for the Tang family, or wanted to borrow a chicken to lay eggs, occupy the magpie’s nest, and turn the guests to the main point... or collude with various princes in private?

Without evidence, Dong Hu felt that the Tang family was an extremely realistic family. The reason why he felt this was because of a line from the later "Three Kingdoms" game "The Emperor is about to collapse and the land is declining" in the "Three Kingdoms". At first, he thought it was written by Luo Guanzhong. Later he found out that it was written by Tang Ji and knew about her who looked like another. The most interesting part was the story of her father Tang Mao once advised her to remarry.

In this era, it is normal to marry someone else again, but Tang Ji married Liu Bian after all. Although she did not enthrone the queen, it was not much different. Tang Mao was not a commoner who knew nothing. He was a prefect of Kuaiji County. How could Tang Mao do such a thing after Liu Bian's death?

At first, Dong Hu didn't think about these things. It was not until Zhang Jun reported Tang Zhao's incident that he suddenly remembered his dusty memories. He felt that there were two reasons why Tang Mao could do such a lump of things. One was that Tang Mao wanted to marry a beautiful daughter to gain some benefits; the other was to eliminate the adverse effects caused by Liu Bian.

Dong Hucai didn't think that Tang Mao felt sorry for his daughter's youth and widows. This era is not a future generation, and a big family would not be desperate for a girl.

No matter what the reason is, Dong Hu thinks that the Tang family is an extremely realistic family, and such a family is also extremely dangerous.

As for Gao Shun... he was much more at ease with Gao Shun.

Gao Shun has not clearly bowed his head and surrendered, but Dong Hu doesn't care much about this, but one thing is certain. Compared to Lu Bu who cut down Ding Yuan without hesitation, Gao Shun is more willing to follow Liu Bian to mess around, which is also a good thing.

Liu Bian's temptation made Dong Hu remember some things, some things about the Tang family, which made him feel a little insomnia. On the second day, he did not get up early to practice martial arts as before, and he didn't get up yawning until the sun was noon.

"Big...Master..."

Xiao Liuzi was a little afraid of his anger yesterday. When he saw him pushing open the door, he hurriedly lowered his body.

"Why did you come so early? Dian Wei bullied you again?"

"No, no... General Dian is very good to slaves... Yes... General Dian wants to find another place to live..."

Dong Hu couldn't help but be stunned, and then smiled again the next moment, rubbing Xiao Liuzi's head very much.

"Such as he wants, you go and find Zhang Liao later and ask Zhang Liao to find another residence for Dian Wei. Well... don't have to be too big, just be more secluded."

Dong Hu's body has natural oppressive force. Xiao Liuzi, who is not old, is a little afraid of him. After hearing his promise, he felt relieved and quickly agreed in a low voice, which was also ravaged again.

"hehe……"

He rubbed the little eunuch's head twice before he squatted on the ground and slid his teeth. He was a toothbrush made of pig's hair and dipped in fine salt to penetrate his teeth.

Toothbrushes are not difficult to make, similar to those of later shoe brushes. Slim eyes are drilled on thin bamboo slices, tied a small tuft of pig hairs by using thin threads, and pulled them hard through the holes until the pig hairs are stuffed into the holes on the bamboo slices, and each hole is filled with a bunch of hard pig hairs. A toothbrush is done. If it is more particular, a thin shell will be made on the back of the toothbrush, so that the thread tips cannot be seen. It is just that he is too lazy to do it, so he can use it.

Toothbrushes are just a trivial matter. When brushing their teeth, he thought about how to "invest investment". Dong Zhuo moved the capital, and it was impossible for the soldiers to arrest all the people in Yin counties in Henan. Many people must have fled into the mountains to hide, and a considerable number of people will definitely flee to the nearby Hanoi County, Chenliu County, Yingchuan County, and Nanyang County. If the escaped people are not brought back, how can the wheat in the fields of each county be harvested? He was exhausted to death, and he could not use 40,000 to 50,000 Dongbuyi to harvest the wheat planted by one hundred thousand people...

"Brother...Brother..."

Dong Hu, who was experiencing teeth, turned around and saw Liu Bian running over with Gao Shun...

“Hululu…”

"puff--"

When rinsing his mouth several times in a row and wiping the corners of his mouth, Liu Bian also ran closer.

"I was so impatient in the early morning?"

Listening to his words, Liu Bian couldn't help but look up at the sun that was about to be in midday, and then said anxiously: "Just just sent the news that it was Yan Liang, a general under Yuan Shao, and Wen Chou each led 20,000 troops to approach Yuanwu and Yangwu County."

"Um?"

Dong Hu was stunned for a moment, and snorted coldly.

"Not asking for trouble for him, he is just as arrogant as us."

"I can't help Di, and I'll inform each battalion to discuss the army after half an hour."

"promise!"

Nengchen Di left with his fists, Dong Hu turned back to the room, and Liu Bian hurriedly followed behind.

"Brother, will Yuan Shao kill them all?"

"Why don't you ask Gao Daizi?"

"I asked, General Gao said no, but I was unsure of my heart..."

"hehe……"

Dong Hu sat in the wide Taishi chair and looked at Gao Shun, who was expressionless.

"Gao Daizi, tell me your reasons."

Gao Shun lowered his eyebrows and said, "Yan Liang and Wen Chou each led 20,000 troops."

Dong Hu smacked his lips, looked at Liu Bian again, and smiled and said, "Gao Daizi's words have been made very clear. If Yuan Shao wants to fight with our army with all his strength, there will be only 40,000 people. Maybe you can treat these 40,000 people as the vanguard's vanguard army's vanguard army, but we still don't think Yuan Shao will fight us."

"The reason is that the time is too short. Even if Yuan Shao fights us, he will be able to get angry with Wang Kuang from Hanoi, Kong Qichang from Yuzhou, and Yuan Shu from Nanyang."

Dong Hu smiled and said, "Rebellion is not a family. If the rebellion fails, the whole family will die. This is different from when Yuan Shao was working under General He Jin. On that day, Yuan Shao could besiege the palace because he had great justice in the court, but today they rebel."

"If it were just Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou, Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, and Kong Ji, the governor of Yuzhou, they could also represent the entire area of ​​the three states. But you should also see that in addition to the three, there are Yuan Shao, the prefect of Bohai County, Wang Kuang, the prefect of Henei County, Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu, Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun, Yuan Yi, the prefect of Shanyang, Bao Xin, the prefect of Jibei, Kong Rong, the prefect of Beihai, Zhang Chao, the prefect of Guangling, Sun Jian, the prefect of Changsha, Gongsun Zan, Cao Cao, Zhu Yan and others."

"In addition to the three prefectures or governors, there are some prefects. Why do we specifically mention these prefects? I just want to tell you that in addition to these prefects, the prefects of the other counties either oppose or stand by the wall to watch."

"Why did the prefect oppose and wait and see? The reason is very simple. From the perspective of etiquette, my uncle is the orthodox court. No matter how righteous the people say, they are rebelling. Once they join in, if the rebellion fails, the whole clan will die!"

Dong Hu smiled and said, "They were originally the prefects of a county, and they were also the prefects of a county in the Central Plains. If they succeeded in rebellion, they would not get greater benefits. But if they failed, they would die. When the risk and the benefit were not proportional, it would be normal to sit on the wall and wait and see."

"So, Yuan Shao and the others can't bear the consequences of failure. Bao Xin, Cao Cao and Wei Zi just suffered a big defeat, or were wiped out. Such a big defeat will definitely affect the morale of the thieves. It is unwise to fight us at this time. In order to reduce this risk, only the attacks will be launched from the north, east and south directions at the same time, but this will take time. It will take at least half a month to truly reach an agreement. How many days will it take for Cao Cao to be defeated?"

"Four days."

At this moment, the two of them walked in with food boxes and put down the food one by one. After Liu Bian said "eat", Dong Hu spoke while eating breakfast.

"Whether it is to prevent us from taking action against him suddenly or to stabilize the morale of the army, he has to show his thick arms. Of course, if he dares to show his muscles to us, we will not let him live a better life."

"We are not the ones who suffer losses!"

Liu Bian nodded repeatedly to agree. He knew better than Gao Shun who could stuff two eggs into one mouthful.

"Oh by the way, from today on, you will not care about the prisoner camp and the injured barracks. There are only those things on the left. Compared with the food rations in various counties in Yin, Henan, the prisoner camp and the injured barracks are not worth mentioning."

Dong Hu looked up at Liu Bian, who was a little nervous, and smiled and said, "Cao Cao has been defeated, and he should fight Sun Jian after that. Once he fights, we will definitely take down Nanyang County. You are the prefect of Nanyang County, and you will be considered a magistrate in the future."

"As a superior, you don't need to be proficient in everything, but you must not know what's going on and you cannot know nothing."

"It's February and March, and May and June are the wheat harvest season. More than 80% of the war with Sun Jian will be after May and June. That is to say, you will only have a few months around us. During these months, you must not only know what the army is doing, but also what civil matters are."
