Chapter 624 You are worse than Dong Zhongying
Dong Zhuo consciously instigated the soldiers to plunder the entire Hanoi, just like a starving ghost who placed two dishes in front of a dish of meat and vegetables. After swallowing the fat pieces of meat, he would definitely swallow everything again.
When Daya sent Dong Zhuo's "Mengjin Battle" to Dong Hu, he only took a look and knew that although he appeared in this world with his moth, there were some things that could not be changed. He could use "interest" to convince Dong Zhuo, but he could not change his character and combat thoughts, which was almost a replica of the "Mengjin Battle" he knew.
Seeing that he threw the letters that Luo Yang had just sent aside, Cai Yong didn't know where so much curiosity came from and took the letters pretending to behave.
"You kid is not steady at all, Da Ya..."
"Um?"
Cai Yong just looked at the beginning, and his eyes froze instantly, and he exclaimed in surprise.
"The Taishi may invade Jizhou again, and he will suffer a crushing defeat?"
Dong Hu sighed in his heart, took the letter and read it again...
"Teaching someone to learn well may take a lifetime, but if you teach someone to learn bad things, it may only take one day."
Cai Yong's eyes were full of confusion, and Dong Hu frowned for a moment...
"The art of war says: No one is more valuable than people in the world. Fighting is not just. Time, place, and harmony between people. There are no three things, even if you win, there will be disaster."
"Mencius also said: The time is not as good as the place, and the place is not as good as the people."
When Dong Hu was talking about this, he came to the hospitality room with Cai Yong. It was actually a small wooden table in the study, and the two of them sat in a comfortable rattan chair.
Cai Yong was considered a great scholar and knew the source of these words, but he was still a little confused. When he received the letter from Da Ya more than ten days ago, the boy admired Dong Zhuo's etiquette. Why is Dong Zhuo going to be defeated now?
Dong Hu brought the tea to the old man and then lay in the rattan chair...
"The victory or defeat on the battlefield is a battle between people, and the importance of people is unquestionable. There are only two types of people in the army, generals and soldiers."
"There will be five good and four desires. We will be good at knowing the situation of the enemy, the way to advance and retreat, the real and real of the country, the time and time of heaven and human affairs, and the mountains and rivers are dangerous and obstructing. We will be in a strange battle, we will be in a secret plan, and the people will be quiet, and our hearts will be in one."
"It has only been a year since my uncle entered Luoyang. The forced migration of the capital has caused the price of grain in Guanzhong to remain high. The public resentment must have accumulated a lot of public grievances. The first thing to do is not to fight everywhere, but to keep the foundation stable and encourage the people to farm more during the winter wheat cultivation season."
"If the people are not hungry, then the country will not be in chaos."
...
"If we were to attack Hanoi, we would choose to fight in winter. One would plant wheat by ourselves. At the same time, it would also give the people of Hanoi County plenty of time to cultivate. After the fight in winter, once the natural danger of the Yellow River is broken through, the people of Hanoi County cannot escape in large numbers. As for the wealthy families in Hanoi County... who helped Wang Kuang rebel, we would not hesitate to confiscate their homes and exile as slaves in the border areas. If they did not rebel, we would move them all to Chang'an."
"If you don't want to leave a bad reputation, you won't ignore these rich families. As long as you don't let them become officials, you will only be rich for three generations. Even if you have a wealthy family, you will eventually become a part of Chang'an."
"If we are more despicable, secretly support some rascals and go to their house for trouble if they have any problems, just like when we were in Luoyang, others threw stones and spit poops and pee. In short, as long as they take out the money in their pockets, we will let them live a peaceful life..."
Seeing Cai Yong humming, Dong Hu hurriedly closed his mouth and smiled bitterly: "We are considering our uncle's current purpose. My uncle is looting wealthy households everywhere in Hanoi County. If all the wealthy households robbed, the soldiers will definitely attack ordinary people..."
"well!"
"My uncle's food is too ugly. If you want the money and food of a wealthy family, you can go around. There is no need to indulge the soldiers to do evil, and you should not let others see their own evil..."
"snort!"
Cai Yong was very angry and pointed at Dong Hu's head and scolded him.
"You boy is worse than Dong Zhongying!"
Dong Hu scratched his head and said, "Sir, it seems like we are really bad... At most, let's go up on the forehead and cut off one of the fingers of others, and didn't kill anyone, right?"
Cai Yong glared at the sight, but finally sighed helplessly. The guy in front of him was indeed bad enough, but he understood what he wanted to express.
Dong Zhuo plundered Hanoi County and massacred the families. The major families in Jizhou must be nervous and would definitely support Han Fu with all their strength. Yuan Shao and Dong Zhuo fought against each other. But if the boy in front of him defeated Yuan Shao and Wang Kuang, even if the matter ended, he would force the people to Chang'an based on the wealth of the wealth of the wealth of the rich. Although the major families in Jizhou were also nervous, as long as they did not see the destruction of others, they would not really fight with him. Even if they fought to the death, there would not be too many people.
Ordinary people have weak combat power, but the private soldiers raised by different families are different. These private soldiers are elite soldiers in the hands of each family, and their personal force and equipment are even stronger than Han soldiers. After Dong Zhuo panicked the entire Jizhou, no one could determine how many families would lead elite private soldiers to join the battlefield.
Dong Hu glanced at the letter a few times and frowned and said, "The price of grain in Guanzhong is soaring. Even a real rich household cannot support such price surges. What's more, ordinary soldiers. My uncle led such soldiers with extremely strong desires to fight Yuan Shao and Wang Kuang, and would definitely burst out with stronger combat power. But when these greedy soldiers are full of food... just like a gentleman, will he fight with others if he is rich?"
"Of course, it's too easy for my uncle to take down Hanoi County. Whether it's the general or the lower-level soldiers, they will instinctively despise the Jizhou Army. They will definitely fight desperately at the beginning, but once they are frustrated... it's hard to say."
Dong Hu frowned and said, "My uncle's safest way is to return to Chang'an immediately and stop when he is better. If he does not stop in this situation, the possibility of failure is very high. Not only will he lose his prestige due to defeat, but he will most likely lose his prestige in Hanoi County..."
When he said this, Dong Hu suddenly got up and came to the desk, wrote a letter in a few seconds, and then pulled the rope hanging behind him. After a while, a 16 or 7 young servant hurriedly pushed the door and walked in.
"Encryption, eight hundred miles are rushed to Luoyang, and must be handed over to the wife in person."
"promise!"
Cai Yong knew what "encryption" was. When Dong Hu wrote the letter, he was embarrassed to peek. He asked until the young military servant left.
"You kid won't take the opportunity to steal Hanoi County again, right?"
"What does it mean to take the opportunity to rob? It was my uncle who robbed our spoils, right? If my uncle can't defend himself, if we send troops to retake it, then we can't blame us, right?"
Cai Yong didn't know who he was with, and seemed to be unable to see him get the benefits. He said angrily: "Dong Zhongying killed all the families, but you can take the opportunity to win the hearts of the people, and you can get the benefits all by you!"
Dong Hu smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, you only see that we will take the opportunity to get Hanoi County, but why didn't Mr. Hanoi see the famine of the Hanoi people next year? Let's not talk about how much money and grain my uncle robbed Hanoi. When my uncle started the war, it was the time for wheat to be cultivated. Even if the gentleman did not go to Hanoi in person, he would definitely affect the cultivation of winter wheat. In the next year, hundreds of thousands of people in Hanoi have lost summer grain. How can we survive if we don't help?"
...
"well……"
Cai Yong knew in his heart that Hunzi would rather die in countless families, but he was a member of the big family. All the families in the Han Dynasty had made merits for the Han Dynasty. Should the countless families loyal to the Han Dynasty be destroyed?
The old man has always been a little repulsive to Dong Hu, but the reason is that he is his attitude towards the wealthy families.
Cai Yong is a gentleman, a person who cannot hide his troubles. Dong Hu knew the old man's entanglement and worries, but he would never change his original intention because of one person. Anyway, he was not the one whom he killed with a knife. Dong Zhuo killed people, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao... The murder of all princes in the world is nothing to do with him.
Daya sent a letter. After being pushed by the five military governors' officers, she found that the combat power of the elite Han soldiers was very strong. In addition, Jizhou expanded its troops again due to panic, so she was more pessimistic about Dong Zhuo's further launch of war.
Dong Hu didn't look at these. What he saw was the war potential of the entire Jizhou's six million people. The war was ultimately the overall strength. Even if Dong Zhuo's troops still maintained sufficient combat power, the loss of only 40,000 troops was only 10,000, and the Yingchuan Army with a low combat power was 10,000.
The soldiers and horses in Dong Zhuo were all serious Han soldiers, with only 5,000 cavalry. They could not make long-distance attacks like Dong Hu, and could not disrupt the enemy's military deployment. They could only attack one city and one city.
Not to mention whether there will be any changes in Chang'an after Dong Zhuo's long separation from Chang'an? Just in terms of the war itself, once Dong Zhuo goes north from Henei County to invade Jizhou, the first thing he faces is the Jizhou heavy city Yecheng.
Yecheng is a heavy city with more soldiers and sufficient food. Dong Zhuo was too cruel in Henoi County. All the big families in Jizhou must be determined to fight with him. They besieged 200,000 with just 40,000 soldiers and horses. They don’t need to see the result. If they turn to attack other cities, they will also face the situation of fighting the city walls to the death.
There are six million people in Jizhou, and each household takes out a male man, that is one million soldiers. With the same hatred of the enemy, the piles of Dong Zhuo were killed. What's more, the four pillars of Hebei, the main beams of Han Fu and Yuan Shao are all in the hands of Han Fu and Yuan Shao. There are also many talented strategists, so how could they be defeated by Dong Zhuo so easily?
Dong Zhuo personally led 30,000 troops out of the customs. Niu Fu, Li Jue, and Guo Si had more than 10,000 troops in the Eighth Camp of Xiyuan. First, thousands of troops were lost on the river surface, and Fan Chou lost more than 10,000 troops. Dong Zhuo had only 30,000 elite troops left. Once he went north, he would be so in trouble in Hanoi. If some troops were not stationed in the Eighteen City in Hanoi, if there was smoke, all the eighteen cities rebelled and all the gates were closed to allow him to enter, what would happen?
He fought with Yecheng in front, smoked from behind, and the city gate was closed and he could not move in, and he could not move in or retreat. Once the soldiers were in a panic, it would not be uncommon for Dong Zhuo to die in Jizhou.
Of course, Dong Hu didn't believe that Dong Zhuo would be so stupid. It was impossible for a veteran for decades to not even see such a few things.
According to his understanding of Dong Zhuo, it is unlikely that Dong Zhuo will further invade Jizhou, but after the Hanoi County was caused by tens of thousands of troops, the two sides fought again during the winter wheat cultivation period. There will definitely be a famine in the coming year. Niu Fu, Li Jue, Guo Si and others should not have the ability to rescue the disaster. The people of Hanoi are likely to flee. Jizhou is the first choice to escape, followed by Yanzhou. Because Dong Zhuo was too harsh in Hanoi, it will cause Dong Buyi Cong to suffer as well. The people will definitely not choose to escape to Shangdang, Hedong, and Luoyang.
In addition to fleeing the people, it is likely that there will be rebellion. If Han Fu and Yuan Shao are smart enough, they should secretly support these rebels in fighting with Niu Fu and fight a proxy war.
The more chaotic the people fled, the fewer the people were, and the less money Niu Fu had to support his soldiers. How many years could they last in Hanoi?
