Chapter 571 The fierce battle in the Prime Minister's Mansion (1)
Dong Zhuo was angry. He had been a general for thirty years, so how could he not see Lu Bu’s little thoughts?
He was not angry with Lu Bu's thoughts. As the old Lion King, he was very happy to fight openly and secretly, but he was angry with Lu Bu's cowardice and escape!
Diao Chan still wanted to persuade her, but Dong Zhuo was really annoyed and waved his hand suddenly.
"Don't plead for him!"
"When two thousand ginseng wolf and Qiang entered Lintao, Mao'er led a thousand soldiers to defend the city, and Huwa himself fought with two thousand Qiang people in the wild; Beigong Boyu rebelled, Mao'er led 30,000 soldiers to defend Yuzhong City, and Huwa led 5,000 cavalry to attack the thieves..."
"Huwa is very concerned about the retreat. Every time he is in danger, he will lead the troops to fight! For example, this time, Yuan Shao led an army of 150,000, and Huwa led tens of thousands of troops to fight Yuan Shao. Liu Bian guarded Xingyang City, Li Meng guarded Hulao Pass..."
"But look at this rebellious son again!"
Dong Zhuo was very angry and pointed his fingers at Lu Bu who was cold-faced and silent.
"Not only if you lose, he still took his men back to Luoyang. First, tens of thousands of soldiers were defeated outside the city, and the leading general fled first. How can the soldiers hold on to Hulao Pass in panic?"
"A war of hundreds of thousands of people, Shi Hou was a cowardly baby and didn't even run away. He, a general, could throw him down with a stump. Can we still talk to him?"
When Dong Zhuo thought that Liu Bian hadn't even run away, he couldn't suppress his anger and slapped the table hard.
"Bang!"
"This is the case! Whoever advises me again, don't blame me for being angry!"
The generals of Liangzhou were eager for Lu Bu to be unlucky, so they would not plead for him, so they all stepped forward and clasped their fists.
"promise!"
...
"snort!"
Dong Zhuo snorted coldly, then picked up the letter and read it.
"Huwa wants to negotiate with Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's bastards, and let those bastards hand over Hanoi, Chenliu, Nanyang... plus Yingchuan County that has surrendered, there are a total of four counties."
"Huwa originally wanted to set up four general managers, one was Hanoi County, the second was the eleven counties east of Hulao Pass, the third was the two counties south of Daigu Pass... and one was Luhun County, which belonged to Hongnong County, and the fourth was Nanyang County."
"Huwa means to let Hei Niu be the general manager of Hanoi County... that is, Luoyang's former army general, Dong Gu as the general manager of the rear army, veteran Yang Yi as the general manager of the left army, Shi Hou Liu Bian as the general manager of Nanyang County, and now Chenliu County and Yingchuan County are added..."
Dong Zhuo shook the letter twice, feeling a little depressed, and said, "Huwa means that Chenliu County, Yingchuan County, and Nanyang County are all enclaves... The enclave means that he doesn't want it!"
Everyone was excited, and Niu Fu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Father-in-law, Chen Liu, Yingchuan, and Nanyang are all rich places. Huwa... he really doesn't want it?"
Dong Zhuo was a little unhappy, but he still spoke: "Huwa said that Emperor Guangwu's abolished the county soldiers and served as the prefect, which actually laid the root of the chaos in the world. It was because Emperor Guangwu had dismissed the county lieutenant and the chief lieutenant, and added the chief lieutenant who was originally in charge of recruiting soldiers to the prefect. The prefect was in charge of both soldiers and the people. If the court was not weak, the prefects of each county would inevitably become princes."
"You have also seen the current situation. How many of those rioters are not state governors, governors, and prefects?"
"Huwa said that the court is in decline, and the prefects of each county will definitely be the king and do not obey the orders. We are all from Liangzhou. In the court, each state does not have enough prestige and foundation, so don't expect those bastards to be honest and obedient. Therefore, Huwa believes that we need to be honest in Chang'an and Luoyang have consolidated the foundation. Only when the foundation is solid can we completely defeat those bastards."
"That is why Huwa made Shi Hou Liu Bian the prefect of Nanyang County. After all, Liu Bian was the emperor. At least Liu Biao dared not do anything to him. Even if Yuan Shu escaped back to Runan County, he would not dare to take the world's ruthlessness in a short period of time. Nanyang County is stable, so there is no need to worry about the south of Luoyang."
"The Chenliu County in the east... Huwa wants Zhang Yi to be the prefect of Chenliu County. You all know about Liu Sheng and Zhang Yi. Zhang Yi is from our Liangzhou and has some relationship with Liu Sheng. After Zhang Yi became the prefect of Chenliu County, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao will not threaten Luoyang from Chenliu County in a short time, and the east side of Luoyang is safe."
Dong Zhuo was unwilling to let others get a advantage. Chenliu County had a population of nearly one million, and Nanyang County had a population of 2.5 million, which was more than the entire Youzhou population. Liangbian population was not as high as Nanyang County. If you gave up such a piece of fat, you wouldn't feel excited.
Dong Zhuo was unwilling to do so, and the Liangzhou generals were even more jealous.
Li Jue suddenly stepped forward and clasped his fists and said, "Thuwa doesn't want Chenliu, Yingchuan and Nanyang counties. The last general thought he didn't want to lie in front of those bastards' faces. Tigerwa fought many times, the Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Liangzhou thieves all suffered great losses, and now they have killed 200,000 to 300,000 troops from all over the country. If he lay in front of those guys' faces, those guys would definitely recruit 200,000 to 300,000 troops like now. In this way, Tigerwa will always be so tired of them, and Tigerwa will definitely not want to."
The generals nodded silently. This was obvious. Dong Hu could not always be in a state of war. There were not so many people in Luoyang who provided him with long-term support for him to fight.
Li Jue spoke again: "The general agreed with Zhang Yi, and Shi Hou as the prefect of Chenliu County and Nanyang County, but they did not have enough prestige to make the counties honest and obedient, unless there were enough troops, and Chenliu County, Yingchuan County, and Nanyang County were all adjacent to those rebellious guys. The general thought that the prefecture and county magistrates who were restored to the past commanded the prefecture and county magistrates! They should be transferred to the court's troops to guard!"
Guo Si hurried forward and said in a relay: "Didn't the lord say that Emperor Guangwu had stopped going to the lieutenant of the county. The lieutenant was the root of chaos in the world. The lord moved the capital to Chang'an and was determined to learn from Taizu's support to the world. In the end, the general thought that the ancestral system should be restored and the lieutenant of the county should be rebuilt, and the lieutenant of the county should be rebuilt!"
After Guo Si said that, a large number of generals looked at each other and stepped forward together.
"I beg my lord to restore the ancestral system!"
Dong Zhuo blinked a few times, waved his hand and waved his generals back before looking at his younger brother Dong Min.
"Shuying, what do you think?"
Dong Min knew that his elder brother was annoyed by Li Meng's death, so he did not dare to be careless about the restoration of the prefecture and county magistrates, so he thought about it for a moment...
"Shuying felt that the generals were quite safe. One could avoid the military prefects from the army's rebellion, and the other could also provide the soldiers with the people of each county to reduce the consumption of money and grain in the treasury, and the third could also demonstrate the majesty of the court."
Dong Zhuo nodded silently, it would be fine if anything else, but saving money is the key.
"Huwa wants to rest in Luoyang and stabilize his position, so he used Zhang Yi and Liu Bian as the prefect of Chenliu County and Nanyang County. Chenliu and Nanyang separate themselves from all the princes."
"But if the soldiers in the army serve as the chief lieutenant and chief lieutenant of Chenliu, Yingchuan and Nanyang counties, then there is no difference between Huwa and Huwa in front of the enemy. The princes of various ways will no longer fight Huwa, but fight our army..."
Li Jue suddenly stepped forward and clasped his fists to Dong Min and said, "General is too worried. Can Huwa win four counties in one battle? Can we brothers be afraid of those mobs?"
Guo Si nodded and said, "If we want to say, Huwa is just too cautious! Zhang Liao and Pang De ran to Chenliu County and snatched back and forth, Dong Fu and Dong Fang even ran to Yingchuan County to grab the rich households, and the Dong Gu who ran around Nanyang County. What can Yuan Shao do if he has hundreds of thousands of soldiers? He just robs as he wants?"
Hu Zhen nodded and said, "Yuan Shao and others are just a group of vulnerable mobs. If we lead our troops to go, we can still steal all Yingchuan County..."
Zhang Ji smiled bitterly and sighed: "Ah! People are so angry that they are more popular. Hu Ba is eating and drinking spicy food outside, but we are hungry in Chang'an..."
Niu Fu, Li Jue, Hu Zhen, Zhang Ji and others were either envious or lamenting that even Dong Yue, who was in charge of the Beidi Camp, wanted to run out and grab one.
Dong Huang lost the soldiers and horses of the twelve city gates, and felt unhappy. Seeing that a group of generals were all buzzing, they strode forward.
"Brothers are right. Those thieves are all mobs. So what if you fight head-on with them? My nephew is willing to go to Yingchuan County to fight with the thieves!"
As soon as Dong Huang said, the hall suddenly became quiet. Even Niu Fu frowned a little, let alone others.
Half a month ago, Dong Hu had already asked Dong Zhuo to appoint the governor of Yuzhou and the prefect of Yingchuan County on his own, and this is the fat that everyone can see.
If it was the heyday of the Han Dynasty, or the two thousand stone officials in the court, it would be much better than staying in the local area as the prefect and governor, but today it is almost the same as the late Tang Dynasty, and staying in the court would be a group of miserables.
When Dong Zhuo moved the capital, even if hundreds of thousands of people were forced to enter Chang'an, there were only one million people in the three servants of Chang'an. With a household of five, two families support one soldier. In addition to simply supporting soldiers, they also had to support officials and generals of the court. How could this be possible?
If Dong Zhuo did not significantly reduce his soldiers or transform them into military farming soldiers, he would not be able to support nearly 100,000 soldiers no matter what.
After the Qiang people in Liangzhou rebelled and repeatedly threatened the Three Auxiliary of Chang'an, the prices in Guanzhong continued to rise, and the original 300 coins per stone of grain also became four hundred, five hundred, and six hundred... After Dong Zhuo forced the capital to move in February, prices were like wild horses that broke free from reins, and continued to rise to another peak. Even if the grain imports from Bingzhou were imported, it was difficult to suppress the soaring prices caused by the shortage of food.
The food soared. Not only did the people at the bottom have a difficult life, but the wealthy families at the top have a difficult life. Originally, they robbed countless gold and copper soldiers in Luoyang, the generals gradually became weak, and a large amount of copper coins flowed into the various stores set up by Dong Hu.
The people of Luoyang, who were plundered by soldiers, did not have copper coins in their pockets no matter how they squeezed them. Daya borrowed grain to help people. However, in order to maintain prices to a certain level and to take the opportunity to plunder soldiers, the copper coins in the hands of wealthy households were extremely strict in the review of the people's borrowing grain assistance. It is necessary to determine whether the people who borrowed grain were really poor and avoid others' re-selling them to others after borrowing grain.
As long as people don’t starve to death, high-priced grain for two thousand coins per stone will not only help you take the opportunity to earn a lot of copper coins, but also can expand the use of paper money from the Beidiying to the people.
Daya, Sanya made a lot of money, Dong Zhuo, Niu Fu, Li Jue... but others were full of mouths. The soldiers originally had 8,000 yuan in food and wages a year, but in just one or two months, a soldier spent four,000 yuan a month.
He only went out but didn't go in, and he was sitting and eating up the mountains. The money and grain in the treasury of each family's treasury was decreasing. When he heard that Dong Hu, who was like a pi arm, wanted to throw out three fat and oily prefectures and counties, how could he not want to rob him?
