"Brother...Brother..."

Liu Bian ran very fast, and Tang Zhao, the one who followed behind, had to run wildly in his dress.

"Brother...Brother...Cao Cao is here..."

...

Dong Hu was already used to Liu Bian's nonsense calling, but he was not deaf. He ran to the front and was still "big brother" and didn't care much, but he was stunned when he heard "Cao Cao".

"Cao Cao is here?"

"Yeah, it's Cao Cao! He came with Mr. Xun!"

Dong Hu was a little unbelievable. The treacherous hero Cao Cao would put his life in the hands of others so easily? Aren’t he afraid that he would tie him to the grasslands in the northern Mobei to herd sheep?

When he heard Cao Cao running over, Dong Hu stopped fighting. He just rushed back to his temporary residence. Isn’t the first thing he saw was Cao Heizi?

"Come!"

"Tie Cao Heizi to us and send him to Yanran Mountain immediately!"

Cao Cao, who was talking to Dong Mao, was stunned in angered someone, and Dong Hu's words were not someone else, it was Hu Zhizhu Xu Chu.

Xu Chu did not glar at Dian Wei behind Dong Mao, and pointed at Dong Hu and was furious.

"Dog thief, dare you--"

As Xu Chu shouted violently, the sound of "clang" in the hall was endless, and more than a dozen followers rushed in outside the door, which scared Cao Cao.

"stop!"

"Xu Chu, stop!"

...

Cao Cao scolded repeatedly, and then Xu Chu snorted coldly and put away the knife. Dong Hu was stunned for a moment, and then he felt that it was natural that Hu Chi was Cao Cao's personal follower, so what was so strange about him when he ran over, but he still looked at Dian Wei with a cold face strangely...

"hehe……"

"Cao Aman, I don't know if you believe it or not. We really want to tie you up and throw you to the grasslands in Mobei to herd sheep, and the world will be able to kill less lives."

Dong Hu's image is not very good. He just cut his hair short two days ago and his beard was naked. If he didn't just have a face, his whole head would look inconsistent. These are nothing. The key is that his clothes and outfits are similar to those of a farmer, including coarse vests, big shorts, wearing a straw hat and straw sandals...

"Why don't you say that if we tie you up, the world will be stable and unrest?"

Cao Cao retorted, but Dong Hu nodded in agreement.

"If we kill all of us bastards, the world might be able to live!"

"Tell me, what happened to Brother Meng De here this time? Should I have a peace talk or continue to war?"

Dong Hu sat next to Dong Mao, fanning with a straw hat while taking the tea from Dong Mao...

Cao Cao frowned and said, "Chenliu County, Nanyang County can be handed over to you, but the prefect of Jiyin County must be Zhang Gong, and the prefect of Runan County must be Yuan Gonglu!"

Dong Hu raised his eyebrows and smiled and said, "No problem! You and I are both smart people. We want to stabilize our foundation temporarily. You also need it. The losses of 200,000 to 300,000 soldiers at every turn, and recruiting hundreds of thousands of thousands of recruiting and recruiting. The families who want to support your rebellion should not be able to hold on. Even if we don't need the help of the Yellow Turban Army, we can also waste all of you in one or two years!"

Cao Cao sneered: "So what if you cut off the heads of the people we are waiting for? The scholars in the world will still not bow their heads to a cruel person like you!"

Dong Hu nodded and agreed, "Brother Meng De is indeed very knowledgeable, so we have to stop. The seven emperors of Qin State worked hard to govern, and then the First Emperor could unify the hegemony. We are from Liangzhou and are a child of Yangzai in Lintao. We are not in a hurry!"

Cao Cao breathed a heavy breath, his hands were put in his sleeves, and he said disdainfully: "As expected, you are indeed a usurper!"

After hearing such words, Dong Hu couldn't help but laugh. Others didn't know that Cao Cao had founded the Cao Wei Dynasty for decades, how could Dong Hu not know?

Which one of Cao Wei, Shu Han, and Eastern Wu is not a usurper? How could he really care about it when he said that for the sake of the Han Dynasty?

Dong Hu would not be affected by Cao Cao's words of "usurpation" and just smiled without any worries.

"Whether Brother Meng De believes it or not, we actually want to throw the emperor to you. We just want to see what you will do in the end, whether to betray the Han Dynasty after the defeat, send the emperor out to save his life, or to live with the country and die for the country, or do you become a usurper after becoming a top powerful minister, or to stretch your neck and let the emperor chop off his head..."

Dong Hu turned to Dong Mao, who was a little surprised, and smiled and said, "However, we throw the court to Cao Mengde and be the loyal ministers who clear the emperor."

Dong Mao was speechless and smiled bitterly: "If my father heard you say such a mess, he would definitely knock on your head."

Dong Hu said indifferently: "Anyway, we won't be praised no matter how we do it. Why don't we throw the court to Yuan Benchu ​​and Cao Mengde? So what if they say we are rebellious? It's not just a fight between you and me? These people are still the ones who are fighting over and over again. Moreover, the guys in the court looked at them with timidity, but they actually didn't have any worry-free masters! Not only did they spend money and food to support them for nothing, but they also had to face their troubles at all times, without any benefit!"

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt helpless as if he were Dong Mao.

Dong Hu was careless and knew very well that Dong Zhuo could not give up Liu Xie, but because of his words, "usurpation" and other things were not worth much.

"hehe……"

"Brother Meng De, you are a smart person. When you know the meaning of our nagging words, you and I know very well. The princes from all walks of life have at least tens of thousands of soldiers, and at most tens of thousands of soldiers, and at hundreds of thousands of soldiers, it is impossible to disperse their troops from all sides. This is the era of the seven heroes fighting for hegemony in the Warring States Period!"

Dong Hu leaned his body, held the huge tea bowl in both hands, and a trace of disdain appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"For the whole world, I, the people who are in Liangbing have no foundation, and you cannot bow your head and surrender. We are mentally prepared. Even if you are stripped of eight pieces and peeled off your skin and cramps, there will be wars everywhere in the Central Plains. At the moment when Emperor Guangwu abolished the commander of the county and state and was appointed as the prefect, the situation of the seven heroes fighting for hegemony is inevitable. It is nothing more than a day earlier or later. As long as the empire is in a small state and as long as there is a major change in the empire, the prefect who holds all the real power of the military and political affairs of a county will become a warlord in the place."

"The root of the disaster was buried when Emperor Guangwu. When the late emperor admitted that Zhang Yan of the Heishan Army was a warlord outside the court, and when Liu Yan opened his mouth to the prefecture, today's affairs were already destined."

"So, we are already mentally prepared. We will not be arrogant and think that the court can pacify the world within one or two years."

Cao Cao nodded silently, agreeing with Dong Hu's words. During the Western Han Dynasty, almost every county and country had two lieutenants or lieutenants, and the lieutenants directly controlled the troops of a county, and had "infinite" conscription power during wartime. In other words, in a county, the prefect and the lieutenants were in charge of civil affairs and military affairs respectively. In this way, it was difficult for anyone to rebel. However, all this changed after Emperor Guangwu. The lieutenants of the county and state were abolished, and the military and political power was merged into the prefect, which was similar to the Jiedu governor at the end of the Tang Dynasty. The prefect was an enlarged version of the prefect, which was even greater than the power of the prefect. After all, there was also the supervisory governor above the prefect, and the prefect not only had military and political power, but also the supervisory power of the governor. The prefect almost became an independent kingdom. When the Han Dynasty was in its prime, no one dared to rebel, but once it declined, there would be too many changes in the world, and it would inevitably be to establish himself as kings and fight against each other.

The court recognized that Zhang Yan, the Black Mountain Army, was a landmark signal, which meant that the Han Dynasty had no ability to fight two wars at the same time and had declined to a certain extent. It also allowed some people with ulterior motives to see the fact that the Han Dynasty was weak, which would make the state governor, governor, and prefect who were originally honestly lying on the ground to compete for the world.

Cao Cao was the first military strategist in the Three Kingdoms, so he could naturally distinguish the authenticity of Dong Hu's words, but after hearing these words, he still showed sarcasm and disdain.

"The Black Mountain Army is a military outside the court... a warlord, isn't your Huwa a warlord? Is the old thief Dong Zhuo not a warlord?"

Dong Hu nodded silently, shook his head and chuckled.

"Han Sui, Ma Teng..., including you, are all warlords in the same place, but we are different from our uncle."

"Our Huwa is the vassal captain recognized by the late emperor. Hehuang Qiang King, Plateau Qiang King, Liang and Qiang King. We can have our own troops!"

"Uncle is a little different from us. My uncle is actually a general of the court. Whether it is a Han army in Meiyang or a group of soldiers belonging to the imperial capital Luoyang, they are actually all soldiers of the court and are supported by the court, but our soldiers are raised by ourselves. This is not much different from the soldiers you offer to your own."

"You seem to be the governor, governor, and prefect of the court, but when you raise your troops to rebel, no matter what the reason, you are threatening the imperial capital and attacking the imperial capital, you are rebels!"

"You will not abide by the imperial court's laws and will not pay taxes to the imperial court!"

"hehe……"

"We are the vassal state commander, and we have our own tribe, soldiers and officials. This is the right given to the vassal state by the Han Dynasty, and you are warlords who split the soil and become king!"

Dong Hu sighed, "When we were in Yanmen County, we held 100,000 troops. If we follow the common sense, we can indeed be regarded as a warlord who broke the earth and became king. But who made us the King of Qiang? Who made us the vassal state commander?"

"So, we can't say that we kicked off the warlord era of the Han Dynasty. The real iconic person should be Zhang Yan, who was the court who enthroned Zhang Yan as the General of the Central Army of Punishment and recognized Zhang Yan as the warlord. You followed the example, learned from the Yellow Turban Army's murder and setting fire to the golden belt, and became a warlord who broke the soil and became the king!"

Cao Cao felt angry in his heart. He was obviously the one who was the one who cleared the monarch and was beaten by the bastard in front of him, but instead he became a rebellious villain.

"No matter whether you Cao Mengdecheng admits it or not, it is a fact that you do not pay the imperial taxes!"

When he saw Cao Cao, he was about to speak angrily. Dong Hu waved his hand without hesitation, and pointed his big hand at Xun Yu, who was showing a bitter look on his face.

"Don't tell us that after you pay the tax, my uncle and I will be greedy for taxes, or use the taxes you pay to beat you or do not mention these with us."

"We have trusted Wen Ruo's character. Brother Meng De must also believe in Wen Ruo. As long as you pay the tax honestly, every grain of food you pay and every five-zhu coin you pay will be handed over to Wen Ruo, and Wen Ruo will be specially supervised by the amount of money. He said that the court would spend whatever it was. We promise that we would never ask about it. The eldest son and brother Bian are here, and we can also guarantee it for our uncle. As long as anyone in Liangzhou touches the tax you pay, even if the court should have given a salary, the generals in Liangzhou will never withdraw from these taxes.

"We can guarantee that Wen Ruo, or anyone you think you can trust to supervise it."

Dong Hu leaned his body and stared at Cao Cao who was stunned.

"Brother Meng De, we are so sincere enough, right? Can you guarantee that 'Ji Qingyan Yu Xu Jingyang' will pay taxes normally?"

"You...you..."
