Chapter 577

The three thousand heavy armored riders left until there was no one. Dong Mao then sighed softly and returned to the city. The generals of Dong Zhuo and Dong Hu had a quarrel for several days, and finally ended with Dong Zhuo's victory. Even if Dong Ju, Dong Fang, Sun Niu and others were dissatisfied, they could do nothing. They could only immediately turn to plant soybean autumn grains under strict military orders. This also made Dong Min, Niu Fu and others completely relieved.

The heavy armored cavalry is loaded with a large weight and requires special horses to carry heavy armor. Therefore, the heavy armored cavalry is a fast march with three riders.

Horse hooves roared, and tens of thousands of war horses were running. It was the hot and dry season. The raised soil was like a giant python. The timids did not dare to get close to them at all...

“Well…”

Dong Hu grabbed A Chou, and the three thousand riders who were moving quickly slowed down and stopped the war horses.

"Heavy, let the brothers rest for two hours."

"promise!"

The weather is hot and you can only hurry again after the temperature is slightly lower. Everyone chose to be cool under the shade of trees, and many people even went to the river to take a bath to relieve the fatigue under the heat.

"Brother."

After Dong Chong conveyed the military order, he came close to him and handed over the huge kettle.

"Brother, I gave Hanoi County free time to Niu Fu, and the brothers were a little dissatisfied."

"Is Hei Niu dissatisfied, or are you dissatisfied?"

"I'm not satisfied! Anyway, we feel that we're losing money!"

Dong Chong sat down and kept hitting an ant on the ground with a horse whip. Seeing him like this, he knew he had lost his temper. He glanced at him from left and right, and Dong Hu suddenly hugged Dong Chong's neck and his voice lowered a lot.

"If my elder brother tells you that it will be difficult for my uncle to live for two years, do you believe it?"

"ah?"

Dong Chong didn't expect that he would suddenly say such words. The next moment he was extremely nervous and glanced left and right. Seeing that no one was approaching, he hurriedly whispered.

“Brother said…”

"Bang!"

Dong Hu patted his shoulder hard and shook his head slightly.

"You don't need to know the cause and effect, just know... Once your uncle encounters an accident, who is the king of Liangzhou Army? Is it the third uncle Dong Min? Is it the eldest son? Or Niu Fu, Dong Huang?"

"None of them are. They do not have enough ability to make everyone bow down and surrender. The last king is us! Whether it is Hanoi County, Chenliu, Yingchuan, and Nanyang County, these are just temporary handed over to others. If we want, we can get them back at any time."

Dong Chong nodded quickly and carefully observed the surroundings again. He did not believe others' words, but he trusted his elder brother 100% of his elder brother, but he said that Dong Zhuo could not live for two years...

"Whatever you say, do what you do, listen to your brother!"

"Well. But you can't talk nonsense to others about what we are saying today."

Dong Hu patted Dong Chong's shoulder, looked at his brother who was bathing and playing in the distance, and smiled and said, "Qin lost his deer, and the heroes chased him together. Chen Sheng and Wu Guang took the lead and rose up, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang fell first, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, braved the world, and was the strongest among all the princes, but he could not compete for Taizu."

"The heroes competed for the deer, and countless people chased and blocked them. The one who ended up getting the deer was not the one who ran in the front, nor the one with the strongest body."

"The fastest person, the person who only has a deer in his eyes but no knife behind his back; the strongest person, who is also the most likely to be arrogant, will often be surrounded by other people and eventually die under the attack."

"So, we need to be more sober, more tolerant and more careful!"

"It took my uncle thirty years of endurance to reach the position of prime minister, and we endured for ten years, from a sheep absentee boy in Lintao to a commander general. You and I have not yet established themselves at thirty years. If you and I have endured for another ten years, you and I can re-create a powerful empire... It's only ten years, how can you and I not tolerate it?"

...

Foresighted, in "The Three Kingdoms", Wang Yun and Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo. After Dong Hu, although the trajectory of some people changed, whether to kill or not is determined by interests and nature. There will be no accidental butterfly. Wang Yun and Lu Bu will not join forces to kill people, let alone... Diao Chan has appeared.

Dong Chong could not know these things, and he did not see any clues, but he trusted his elder brother very much. When Dong Hu rested for a while and led A Chou to the river, he stopped walking and "silence" and also led his "rabbit horse" to the river to take a bath.

From Yuanwu to Xingyang, from Xingyang to Chenggao Hulao Pass, and then headed all the way to Gongxian and Luoyang... Dong Hu almost stopped and there was no explanation in the transfer order, but the arrival of Dong Min, Niu Fu, Xu Rong and others also explained everything. As long as he agreed to give up Hanoi County, he actually didn't need to marches in a hurry, but the nature of the two was different.

If you delay, Dong Hu is dissatisfied. On the contrary, if you get the military order, you will still be a well-behaved and obedient child.

Dong Hu knew Dong Zhuo's temperament very well and rushed to Luoyang without stopping. When he arrived outside Luoyang, he could no longer see his five fingers. But Da Ya, Kuwa, Ajie, Yao Wa, Dong San, Dong Si, Zhang Liao, Pang De, Liu Yue, Er Ya and others all appeared outside the city to wait. Looking at their tired appearance, it seemed that they had been waiting for a day.

First, I greeted each other and then I hugged the young girl from Da Ya's arms and complained a few times.

"The children are too young, so it's not right to bring them to Luoyang. Why did you let them out of the city?"

Dong Hu complained and dissatisfied, but Da Ya smiled and said nothing. She just held her son's small hand and his arm in the other, roughly explaining the situation in Luoyang...

"Thuwa, are we really going to give up Hanoi County?"

After everyone returned to the brightly lit home yard, Dong Hu washed himself. As soon as he returned to the front hall, Dong San couldn't help it and took the lead in asking about Hanoi County.

Dong Hu knew that everyone was a little dissatisfied, but he still smiled and nodded.

"Uncle San is right, we agree."

A group of civil and military officials in the hall looked at each other...

"Will you discuss this matter again? The military war has damaged more than 10,000 people? If Yingchuan County and Hanoi County are so easily given to the prime minister, the soldiers in the army will be dissatisfied?"

Veteran Dong San spoke again, Dong Hu nodded slightly, shook his head and chuckled.

"Uncle San was worried too much. The dissatisfaction in the army was just the dissatisfaction of some generals. The soldiers at the bottom did not have so much thought. Of course, the Chief Envoy's Mansion also needs chief envoys at all levels to appease the morale of the army. We should warn the generals in the army."

Dong Si smiled bitterly and said, "Isn't this adding fuel to the fire? Uncle Fourth thinks...it's better to discuss."

Dong Hu stood up, sat down next to the two veterans with a chair and snorted.

"well……"

"We understand the meaning of the third uncle and the fourth uncle. But you haven't understood what our biggest gain in this battle is. The biggest gain in this battle is not the four counties of Henoi, Chenliu, Yingchuan, and Nanyang. These four counties can only be regarded as buffer zones outside Luoyang. The biggest gain is that we have obtained the twenty-one counties of Luoyang, which is that we have initially won the recognition of various princes and have initially gained the foothold in the Central Plains."

Everyone looked solemn, and Dong Hu just smiled.

"My uncle moved the capital and helped us a lot, leaving us a blank piece of Luoyang... This is very important! If you want to call and draw the pictures you want, you need a blank piece of paper."

"If the fields are ready, the fields are distributed to the people, and the people will be our people from now on. A million people in Luoyang will support us and become the people who support us. We will completely stand firm..."

"Of course, we are outsiders. Even if we have distributed land and reduced taxes, it will take several years for the people to truly recognize us."

Seeing Da Ya squatting beside him, Dong Hu said, "Some things are unhurried. We feel good about ourselves. We divide the land and reduce taxes to reduce the burden on the people as much as possible. For us, we are kind people."

"But for the people of the Central Plains, we are outsiders. When in Lintao, a rich family from outside, even if they kindly made a big pot of porridge to help the beggar, would the beggar really praise the rich? Will the people of Lintao think that the rich are kind and kind?"

"Won't."

"Lintao people will think that this is a way for rich people to buy people, and they will think that rich people will not be so kind, and they must be holding on to some bad things!"

"hehe……"

Dong Hu rubbed his son's little head that was burrowing into his arms, and then pinched Xiao Dongbai's cheek.

"No matter how kind we treat the people, at the beginning, the people would be worried and think that the world is as dark as crows, and we Liangzhou people have a bad temperament."

"We think we are virtuous people, and we are rebelling all kinds of princes, and countless wealthy families of all kinds of families also think we are virtuous people... So the question is, who is virtuous?"

...

"hehe……"

"Then you can only be in the war, let the people see with their own eyes and let the people experience it themselves."

Dong Hu looked at everyone in the hall, and saw that they were all serious and smiled, "Luoyang is a piece of white paper, and the people have become innocent people. Such places are what we long for in such places, not the four counties of Hanoi, Chenliu, Yingchuan, and Nanyang. For us, those places are dirty."

"When will it be clean? Only when everyone in the four counties feels pain and the evil of those who claim to be 'benevolent and gentlemen'."

"Without comparison, there is no distinction between true and false good and evil. The four counties are just buffer zones outside Luoyang, and are the frontier of the battlefield. It is inevitable to suffer war. But once the people there can't stand it and cry and beg us, it can become our territory and be retrieved without any effort."

Dong Hu smiled and said, "You are too impatient. Places with foundations are different from places without foundations. So what if the four counties let them out? It is impossible for local tribes to give up the land. Tenants will try every means to prevent the collection of taxes. In the end, there is only one result, that is, burning, killing, looting, and once such a thing is done, it will be no different from the public grievances caused by the uncle's move to the capital."

"Nanyang County may be better. After all, Bian's identity is there, and the pressure of war is small. Even if there is no soldier, Liu Biao and Yuan Shu dare not invade easily. The other three counties are different. They will definitely accumulate a lot of public grievances. Once a war breaks out, the three counties will most likely be defeated. If Niu Fu, Zhang Yi and Xu Rong do not bow down to us completely, they will definitely die and die!"

"For us, the four counties are just the 'eight gates' places in Luoyang. Although Niu Fu, Zhang Yi, Xu Rong, and Biandi have gained the benefits of territory, they are still using their lives to block the knife for us."

"Under the war, no matter how much money and food they get from burning, killing, looting, it is not as good as the soldiers' consumption. In the end, there is still no hair left in their pockets. What about us? We are plowing fields, building workshops, and training soldiers... We are making a fortune in the back!"

"So, third uncle and fourth uncle, don't worry, we just need to explain the rules clearly to our uncle. Yingchuan County and Hanoi County were given to our uncle. No matter what happens, it is the uncle's business. We will not do anything wrong to them, unless Yingchuan County and Hanoi County are ours!"

After hearing his explanation, Dong San nodded in agreement.
