Chapter 583 The smell of Dong Zhuo and A-Niang on the hospital bed
Dong Hu and his group were mainly Lintao people, while Dong Zhuo and his group were mainly Wuwei County people. Niu Fu, Hu Zhen, Duan Wei, and Jia Xu were all from Wuwei. Whether it was a dispute over the faction between Liangzhou military, Duan Wei wanted to use the help of a tough sturdy person to uplift himself, or Duan Wei was really a person with strict military discipline like Zhou Yafu, Dong Hu didn't care, but he would never allow anyone to hinder the connection between Chang'an and Luoyang.
Tongguan is a dangerous fortress to defend Guanzhong. Dong Zhuo has become the real Guanzhong king. It is impossible for him to hand such a dangerous pass into Dong Hu's hands. No matter how old the Tiger King is, he will still swear to guard his three-acre land of land to the death.
Dong Hu knew very well that even if he replaced the left-behind general in Tongguan in anger, he would definitely change others again soon. But he just wanted to show his attitude that whoever dared to cut off the ties between Chang'an and Luoyang would kill whoever he would.
Wang Yun will not be honest and obedient, court officials will not cooperate sincerely, and Lu Bu cannot bear the dilemma of being powerless and without soldiers. What they like, Dong Hu does not want to deal with these, but he does not want Dong Zhuo to become a battlefield for the Liangzhou army to fight. He must ensure that the news between Chang'an and Luoyang is unobstructed.
Dong Hu is not afraid of Duan Wei, or even Dong Zhuo. He is different from any Han general. If he has an accident in Tongguan, even if Dong Zhuo slaughtered Duan Wei's whole family, hundreds of thousands of Dong Buyicon would enter Chang'an. No matter how Dong Zhuo explained, he would become the second Wang Yun and would be dismantled.
What's more, the former Miyang Han soldiers and the eighth camps of Xiyuan all suffered the losses of Dong Bu Yicong, and Dong Hu had just defeated Yuan Shao. Even if Duan Wei wanted to kill someone, the soldiers would not dare to act rashly.
The soldiers are not that stupid. When there is a benefit, or when the boss's head is hard enough to protect their lives, they dare to kill people. But if there is no benefit, Duan Wei cannot protect their lives after the incident. Naturally, they will not be foolish to die.
Dong Hu was confident that the soldiers in Tongguan did not dare to move around, but he didn't know why Duan Wei was going to demonstrate to him. Only after entering the Guanzhong Plain did he know what was going on.
Dong Zhuo is sick.
I don’t know how Dong Zhuo is, and I don’t know if Dong Zhuo has sent a letter to Dong Min and Dong Mao’s uncle and nephew. After learning the news, I asked someone to send a letter to Yuan Wucheng overnight, while he rushed to Chang’an day and night, and did not arrive at the city of Chang’an on June 27th...
"Dong Shuai has worked hard all the way..."
After learning about Tongguan in advance, Dong Yue didn't dare to be careless and waited outside the city early. In addition to him, there were Sanya, Dong Jian and some generals from the Beidi Camp.
Just jumped off the war horse...
"How is my uncle's condition? Is it better?"
Dong Yue was like a close friend and hurriedly said, "The Grand Master felt unwell ten days ago. He suddenly fell and fainted in the hall five days ago. He has recovered a lot in the past few days."
Dong Hu nodded silently, and there was no way to ask about some things in front of outsiders. After the generals saw each other's greetings, everyone turned over again. Although the sun was setting, no one dared to block the city gate.
Chang'an City is a huge irregular city. It can be regarded as a big city with a length of ten miles and a width of ten miles, but the palaces inside occupy half of the place. Then, the luxurious mansions of princes and nobles are left to the people to live in very small places. Although the population of Chang'an City at its peak was over 200,000, most of them lived outside the city, which was similar to the meaning of "one city, one county". It did not have as many people as a city, but it meant that all the people in a county lived in the city.
At its peak, Chang'an had a population of more than 200,000, and the palaces were majestic and spectacular. However, with Wang Mang usurping the Han Dynasty, many palaces in Chang'an were destroyed. Later, the imperial capital moved to Luoyang, and Chang'an could no longer restore its former glory.
It was originally the political center of the Han Dynasty, and all the money, grain, taxes and taxes were transported to Chang'an. In addition, there were many "civil servants" during the Western Han Dynasty, with 100,000 troops from the north and south alone. Although not all the 100,000 troops were gathered in Chang'an, I don't know how many people the number of troops alone supported. After the status plummeted, the market for money and grain shrank rapidly. The huge city that could have supported 200,000 people became cut in half.
It was already a curfew when everyone entered the city. There were only patrol soldiers who occasionally passed by on the street. Dong Hu had something to do and was not in the mood to pay attention to the scene on both sides of the street. He ran to the gate of the Grand Tutor's Mansion in a hurry.
It is indeed the Grand Master’s Mansion, and it is a new plaque hung more than ten days ago.
Taishi, Taifu, and Taibao are collectively called the third division. They are all the teachers of the emperor, but their status and functions are different. Taishi's "teacher" means "coach", which means the emperor's main subject teacher, allowing the emperor to become the emperor who commands the world; Fu, Fu Qideyi, is a teacher who teaches the emperor's beautiful morals. Because of his good moral character, after the old emperor dies of illness, he often becomes a life-care minister and assists young emperors in governing the world; Taibao is like a physical education teacher, teaching the emperor how to fight for wars to protect his life. Only when the army is strong can the national body be strong and powerful.
Ministers who are in charge often choose Taifu instead of the "maintained" Taifu, Taifu who knows how to fight. As for Prime Ministers, Situ, Sima, Sikong, Siong, Taiwei, etc., they can only be regarded as retainers, slaves of the emperor, and there is a big difference between Taifu, Taifu, and Taifu.
Yuan Wei is the Grand Tutor. Even if Dong Zhuo is the prime minister, even if he is the first person in the court, his official position is lower than Yuan Wei. Just like a large family, even if the housekeeper holds great power, he is still a slave to the emperor. With Dong Zhuo's official nature, can he be willing to be pointed at like this? Wouldn't he become the highest-ranking Grand Tutor?
Looking up at the three words "Taishi Mansion", Dong Hu smiled bitterly, but when he saw Lu Bu holding a halberd and wearing a beast-faced and swallowing his head, his face suddenly became cold.
"snort!"
The two of them snorted coldly at the same time, and spitted with disdain and looked at each other coldly again...
"Hosh..."
Heavy steps onto the stone steps, Dong Yue and Dong Jian followed behind with a knife left and right. Sanya, Kuwa, Ajie, and Yao Wa brought dozens of burly men wearing armor, and thousands of soldiers from the Northern Camp were eyeing him.
Dong Hu was heavy, and Lu Bu didn't say a word until Dong Hu stood within two steps, then he held a cold face and punched him. After two breaths, Lu Bu returned a bow, and neither of them spoke a word.
Lu Bu turned around and walked into the door. He seemed unwilling to give way to Dong Hu. He held the halberd in front of him. Dong Hu seemed to be his younger brother, and he also seemed to be a slave who led the way for the noble guests.
One by one, one behind, only heavy footsteps were left under the pavilion. The maids holding lanterns stood along the way, all of whom were bowing their heads and silent...
The Taishi Mansion was very big, which was very different from the rough Dong Mansion in Lintao. It was not like the mansion of a border general, but more like the house of a famous family. After turning around hundreds of steps under the bridge-style pavilion, Lu Bu stopped in front of a tall room.
"The adoptive father, General Dong Hu brought him."
"Ahem... Let him... Cough... Let him... Let me get in..."
With a violent cough, Dong Hu couldn't help but frown. At this moment, the door was opened and the figure had not yet been seen. A strange aura penetrated into his nose, instantly making him look at the woman in front of him...
“Ah…”
"snort!"
A cold snorted anger and awakened Dong Hu in an instant, but there was no Lu Bu in his eyes at this moment? His eyes were staring at the beautiful woman. Seeing that his expression was strange, Sanya hurried forward and was about to hold his arm. The room was once again filled with unhappiness mixed with coughing.
"Don't get in...ahem..."
Dong Hu calmed down his mood, his eyes returned to calm, and he punched the woman who had taken a step back a little.
"Lintao Tiger Baby."
After hearing the four words, except Kuwa, Ajie, and Yaowa, the rest were all a little surprised.
Dong Hu strode into the room and saw the various gems and bead curtains hanging inside. There was a little helplessness on his originally solemn face.
He lifted the curtain and walked in. There was another person standing at the end of the bed in the room. He was neither someone else nor Dong Huang, who had never dealt with him. He looked down and looked like he was being scolded.
"uncle."
Dong Hu held his fists and greeted him. Before he could stand up, he heard Dong Zhuo snorting with dissatisfaction.
"You are so brave. The court chief will drive you away if you dare to say that you can drive away?"
Dong Hu turned his head and looked at Lu Bu, thinking that Dong Zhuo was talking about Hulao Pass.
“Where did you look at?”
"Yes... cough cough... it's Duan Wei... cough cough..."
Hearing Dong Zhuo's anger, he coughed several times. Before Diao Chan came forward to feed the medicine, Dong Hu had already sat on the head of the bed. While supporting the fat Dong Zhuo, hesitated and handed the medicine bowl to him...
"My nephew is still fighting with Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. My uncle yelled us in a hurry without saying anything. We brought dozens of cavalry to come day and night, but that time, we didn't let us enter the pass."
"It's not that Duan Wei didn't know that we were my uncle's son and nephew. It would be fine if he was really Zhou Yafu, but what if he was Yuan Shao's second? Block Tongguan and prevent anyone from entering and leaving, and cut off the connection between Chang'an and Luoyang. If someone rebels in Chang'an, there will be no news about my nephew...what should I do?"
Dong Hu took the empty bowl from Dong Zhuo and took out a piece of candy and a piece of jerky from the cloth bag around his waist.
"Get away the bitterness in your mouth."
Dong Hu moved him to the head of the bed and added a pillow...
"You are the Tiger King. You want to maintain the majesty of the Tiger King. You don't like other tiger cubs to run to your territory to pee. Our tiger baby is not stupid or stupid. Even if you give us Tongguan, we don't want it!"
"But you have to admit that the Tiger King is old. The tiger cub outside wants to conquer a world by himself, but he didn't think about turning back and snatching the elderly Tiger King's retirement territory."
Listening to him saying this, everyone in the room looked horrified, and Dong Zhuo was even more angry and encouraged his chest repeatedly. However, Dong Hu looked relaxed and glared at Dong Zhuo's anger and continued to smile.
"There are talented people in the country who have emerged in the past, and they have been in charge for decades. My uncle has been in trouble for decades. As the king of beasts, should he be open to it?"
“Besides…”
"As the king of beasts, you can be defeated by another king, you can die under the minions of another king, but you cannot die in the mouth of the jackal and wild dog. That section cut off the connection between Chang'an and Luoyang, and cut off the connection between the tiger cubs outside and the tiger king. What if you, the tiger king, fall into the mouth of a group of jackal and wild dogs, wouldn't we be too frustrated?"
Dong Zhuo was angry, and the maltose stuffed into his mouth also spit out, and he just looked at his big head.
"No matter how young the tiger king is, we can still suppress you, the tiger cub, and still make the wolves and wild dogs dare not grin!"
"snort!"
"Let Duan Wei block Tongguan to prevent you from committing my rebellion!"
Everyone was shocked, but Dong Hu looked indifferent.
"Okay... the power of a tiger still exists when it dies!"
"Is this OK?"
"You...ah...ahah..."
