There was a chaos in Didao City. In just three days, Hu Sanyi's posture was that he would not give up until he turned his squadron into a brigade. The third and fourth brigades, which had lost more soldiers, only three days, the brigade of 500 people turned into a brigade of thousands, expanding two thousand troops, but everyone was shocked.

When the news came to the main general Huangfu Song and the right Sima Zhoushen, he was a little dissatisfied with the look for Dong Zhuo. Don’t mention the depression on Dong Zhuo’s face. He didn’t say much, and took a group of generals to the mercenary camp. The generals looked at it at a glance and were all beggars.

Don't mention Dong Zhuo's depressedness, he punched Huangfu Song, Zhou Shen, Li Kuan and others with helpless expressions.

"Brother Li knows our tiger baby's nephew. That guy has no father or mother to fight. At first, the butcher shop and the mutton soup restaurant had only three or two beggars. We thought that it would be good to have two or three little kids as mates, but..."

"well……"

"From then on, as long as there are dolls in the dilapidated temple outside the city, he will keep them, no matter whether they are boys or girls!"

Dong Zhuo's big hands were slapped together with a bitter smile on his face.

"We don't want to stop him from doing good deeds and raise some girls... Then raise them. Whose girl didn't find someone to marry at the fifteenth time? But he didn't want to, and he didn't have to worry. He always wanted to find someone he liked, and they were in love with each other..."

"Brother Li, you say that you are angry or not? Just those unmarried girls, tiger babies will give them twenty or thirty sheep to the government for free every year... Liu Ziwei, you know this!"

Dong Zhuo pointed at the captain Liu Sheng with one hand, and Liu Sheng nodded with a wry smile. The whole of Lintao knew all these things.

According to the rules of the Han Dynasty, a woman aged fifteen to thirty-five had to calculate the tuition for five times if she didn't get married, and she had to pay an extra 600 yuan a year.

Liu Sheng was neither stupid nor stupid. After hearing Dong Zhuo's words, could he still not know what he wanted to say? He punched Huangfu Song and others.

"What Dong Sima said is that Huwa is indeed kind-hearted. Even in Lintao, Huwa's mercenary camp also raises some girls. Thieves outside the city are raging. If no one in the city gives them some way to survive, it will be inappropriate."

Huangfu Song had several thousand auxiliary soldiers in his hands, so there was no need to worry, but Li Kuan nodded in agreement.

"It's not bad. If you don't care, it will be inappropriate if you stir up a civil unrest."

Huangfu Song and Zhou Shen thought that Dong Zhuo wanted to do nothing to fix the army, so he was a little dissatisfied, but when he saw a group of beggars, he felt a few sarcastic words in his heart.

Not caring about a bunch of beggars does not mean that Huangfu Song has left.

Huangfu Song looked handsome and had a temperament that was not angry but powerful. He frowned for a moment before he took his eyes off several women wearing tattered clothes.

"In the past few days, I heard that Huwa had arrived soon with 5,000 generals. Some people said that Dong was engaged in ensuring that the thief army outside the city retreated within ten days. Do Dong Sima know about this?"

Dong Zhuo said indifferently: "The south of Lintao is the ginseng wolf and Qiang, and the south of the ginseng wolf and Qiang is the white horse and Qiang, but the ginseng wolf and Qiang are not a person who is obedient to Lintao, or they plunder the white horse and Qiang cattle and sheep. General Huangfu also knew that Lang Meng led his troops to invade Lintao last year."

"After Huwa wiped out all the two thousand thieves of Ganlang Qiang, he rushed into Ganlang Valley, but the baby was a naughty man and was shameless, so he wanted Lang Meng's sister and became the leader of Ganlang Valley."

When Dong Zhuo said this, he couldn't help but look at the right Sima Zhoushen, knowing what he said in private, and snorted coldly in his heart.

"Thuwa is a mean person and can't bear to see people miserably, so he asked for the sister Lang Meng. We originally thought that Tigerwa had only one purpose, but later he sent a letter and explained it."

"The Han people are not used to the plateau, so they make fires and cook. They can't cook meat for a day. The Han people are dizzy and weak when they arrive at the plateau. Only the Qiang people can survive there."

"Huwa wiped out the two thousand thieves led by Lang Meng, and the Ganlang Qiang were not young enough to kill all the people? That was impossible. At this time, the Hehuang Qiang tribes were rebelling. If we kill all 10,000 or 20,000 Qiang people, we still don't know how many rebels will fight to the end!"

"If you can't kill them all, you can't steal all their cattle and sheep, and they're all snatched. It's no different from killing everyone. But if you don't care, there is no green and strong Ginseng Wolf Valley, either being occupied by the White Horse Qiang or being robbed by the rebellious Shaodai Qiang."

Dong Zhuo looked at Zhou Shen, sneered in his heart, but there was nothing unusual on his face.

"The plateau is different from us. If we set up a small county in Ganlang Valley, it will definitely make Shaodang Qiang or Baima Qiang angry and will definitely send troops to attack. How can only some women, children and children fight?"

"If the Ganlang Valley is seized by most of the Qiang tribes on the plateau of the angry imperial court, then it will be another Ganlang Qiang tribe, and it can still produce eight thousand powerful tribes that are not afraid of death!"

"The White Horse Qiang is not a miscellaneous soldier like Beigong Boyu. Not to mention that the Bai Horse Qiang's anger will make the Yizhou barbarians restless. If the 8,000 plateau Qiang cavalry who is fearless and dies, what should we do if the eight thousand plateau Qiang cavalry rushed into Lintao and killed behind Longxi County? We have not pacified the rebels of Beigong Boyu, and there is another powerful Qiang tribe behind it. What should we do?"

Everyone nodded silently. The Songfan grassland is a treasure land, because to the north and the east are high mountains, and some snow-capped mountains all year round without snow. The entire Songfan grassland is like a semi-arc basin. The melted snow water on the snowy mountains will inject water into this basin, so there are more wetlands, a treasure land of abundant water and grass, and it is far from the center of the battle, with a large tribe population.

The plateau Qiang is very different from the Qiang people in other places. They are closed and wild, which has also caused their tribe stability, loyalty and bravery. Just by what Ganlang Qiang Lang Lang Meng did, it can be seen that if it were replaced by any tribe of East and West Qiang, Lang Meng would have been chopped up by others and fed to the dog, but the people of the Ganlang Qiang people would not dare to resist.

Although there is terror under high pressure, it is also related to the characteristics of the Qiang people on the plateau.

The people of the Northwest knew the difference between the plateau Qiang, and the generals also knew the influence of the Baima Qiang on the Yizhou Manchu. They nodded silently, which was considered to be acknowledging Dong Zhuo's words.

Dong Zhuo sighed and said, "Even if you defeat the Ganlang Qiang, even if you occupy it, if the tribes of the Qiang on the plateau do not agree with it, then you won't be able to be safe. But Huwa is different. Huwa's biological father is Dong Da, the slave of Dong's wife. Dong Da was originally a member of Baima Qiang, Huwa... He is also considered a baby of Baima Qiang in essence."

"It is precisely for this reason that after defeating the madman Lang Meng, Huwa went to Baima Qiang and gained the recognition of Baima Qiang. Even if Shaodang Qiang wants to attack Ganlang Valley, it is impossible."

"With a tiger baby guarding Ganlang Valley, Lintao can be stable, and the retreat of the imperial court to quell the rebellion is also stable."

Dong Zhuo sighed again: "Beigong Boyu and others rebelled, and the Qiang people in various counties were in turmoil and uneasy. Huwa led his troops to come, which means that the Qiang people on the plateau supported the court, which would make some Qiang people who wanted to rebel hesitate. Perhaps Shaodangqiang was worried that the White Horse Qiang was dissatisfied with Shaodangqiang, and that their tribe was plundered and retreated might not necessarily be."

After saying that, Dong Zhuo looked at Huangfu Song.

"General Huangfu, can Huwa lead 5,000 soldiers to come? If the general refuses, the court can strictly order him to retreat to Ganlang Valley."

After Dong Zhuo said so much, how could Huangfu Song say he disagree? He sighed in his heart and nodded silently.

"That Huwa is indeed a loyal and brave man."

"General Dong, what's going on in the city that the bandits withdrew within ten days?"

Dong Zhuo was not very clear about "ten days" or something. Dong Hu did not explain it clearly in the letter. He asked Dong Mao privately, but Dong Mao did not give an accurate answer. Seeing Huangfu Song asking in person again, he couldn't help but look at his son.

"Mao'er, what happened in ten days?"

Dong Zhuo asked, and Dong Mao was silent for a while. Seeing that his son was like this again, Dong Zhuo, who was impatient, was a little disliked, but he also knew that his son had this kind of temperament, so he had to be patient.

After a while, Dong Mao sighed.

"Does my father still remember the three strategies of Huwa talking about suppressing thieves? "

Dong Zhuo was shocked, and Huangfu Song's pupils suddenly shrank...

"Huwa has followed some merchants to Qinghai to sell salt since childhood, and is familiar with the Qiang tribes of Hehuang Valley. If Chen Taishou of Jincheng County could believe Huwa...even if he didn't believe it for a while, as long as he could be a little cautious, the thieves would not be so rampant."

"According to Huwa's two-point plan, it is not difficult to quell the traitors in several months, but now we can only choose the worst. With Huwa's intelligence, once we make a decision, we will definitely not wait in Lintao, because... because Huwa does not have enough food and supplies, Ah Niang promised to give Huwa some food, which is not enough for thousands of soldiers to eat for a year, so...so..."

Dong Zhuo was suddenly shocked. He understood the meaning of his son's words. Although the letter did not say it, Dong Zhuo had to choose the worst. Dong Hu could only come to Didao with five thousand soldiers and horses, but where did the food and supplies come from?

Third, the Fourth Battalion is the best example. Others will not give Dong Hu food. 30,000 stones of grain, and one stone is 120 kilograms (actually only 60 kilograms) of grain. One person needs four kilograms a day (1 kilogram of Han is actually only 0.5 kilograms). One stone is only enough for one person to eat for one month. One person needs at least ten s of grain a year, and 30,000 stones is only enough for three thousand soldiers to eat for one year. Dong Hu has five thousand soldiers in his hands. If the third one is counted, the two thousand soldiers who have expanded their troops in just three days will be seven thousand people. This is only the minimum food consumption for personnel, and there are four or five thousand war horses and mules. What about the consumption of mules? Only four or five thousand war horses and mules is equivalent to ten thousand people.

Thirty thousand... or 40,000 shi of grain, even half of the basic food consumption a year can’t be reached. Where does these gaps come from?

There is only one way, either take advantage of the fact that you can still grow a line of beans and sorghum, you can farm and eat your own food, or grab the food and supplies of more than 10,000 rebels ten miles away from Lintao City.

Not only did Dong Zhuo understand the meaning of Dong Mao's words, but the others also understood it, but how could this be possible? Ten days? Thousands of troops are not so easy to march. It would be nice to be able to run to Didao's city in ten days.

"Come here, go back to Lintao immediately. We want to know where Huwa ran to?"

Dong Mao smiled bitterly.

"Don't send someone back to Lintao, my father probably has arrived near the baggage camp behind the rebels at this time. If the boy was not wrong, Huwa would definitely attack the baggage camp in just a few days."

Since he said the words, Dong Mao said in front of everyone: "These are speculations. If Huwa attacked the rebel baggage camp, the rebels would be in chaos. At this time, if we can leave the city to fight, the bandit army would be dispersed and fled. Of course, it is possible to fight back, or if the bandit soldiers are too large, they will not be able to kill the bandits, and they will injure our elite troops."

"Borrowing the words Huwa once said, whether it is Huwa or these newly recruited soldiers, they are not worth mentioning. Even if they die in danger, as long as Didao is still there, the rebels cannot threaten the Sanfu Jingji, so..."

Dong Mao bowed his fists to Huangfu Song.

"Can the general allow the third and fourth battalions of the mercenary camps to go out of the city to fight?"
