Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia, and Chen Qun are all top strategists of this era. They can see dangers and opportunities that others cannot detect from some subtle clues.

Dong Hu's casual blow hit Cao Cao's most fragile three inches. Compared with others' "province, governor, and prefect", Cao Cao is now just a civilian. Although he has some land at home, such a small amount of property cannot support the consumption of three thousand soldiers.

Taxes cannot be collected, and wealthy families cannot be forced to pay by false accusations. He cannot use troops to charge bandits and loot. After Xingyang was defeated and the alliance was disbanded, it was impossible to obtain the money and grain support of the wealthy families. Apart from digging graves and robbing tombs, he could not obtain money and grain to support soldiers in the shortest time.

Soldiers are not like migrant workers. They can’t just be owed if they want to arrears. Not to mention that Cao Cao has no conditions to farm and raise soldiers. Even if there are such conditions, three thousand soldiers will never be allowed to eat or drink within half a year!

Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai are all outstanding people. When Dong Hu wanted to join forces with the Heishan Army and the Yellow Turban Army, no matter whether the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army in Jiqing, Yanxu were very honest, the princes from all sides would definitely take the lead in launching an attack on the Yellow Turban Army.

The "Eighteen Princes" seem to have countless soldiers and horses in their hands, ranging from tens of thousands to tens of thousands, but they are really counted as "general". Yuan Shao called himself a general, and he really became a general? Not to mention Liu Dai, Han Fu, and Zhang Miao who had not even contacted any soldiers.

Cao Cao, only by Xi Zhi, can see the shortcomings of all the princes, and at the same time, the current Yellow Turban Army is different from seven years ago. If you are negligent, you may suffer a great defeat. That time was the best time for him to rise. On the contrary, when returning home to reinforce Yanzhou, Jizhou became the most difficult and fragile time for Cao Cao.

But no one expected that Dong Hu would take the lead in giving Cao Cao a fatal blow at this critical moment.

Digging graves and robbing tombs. Only by digging the graves of wealthy families can you get a lot of wealth. Some people knew early on that others had secretly dug their own ancestral graves. But apart from cursing a few words to the sky, it was useless. But when the court's announcement spread all over the world, Cao Cao was immediately placed on the fire. Let him explain it repeatedly, others came to the door to curse, until a group of thieves appeared in Mangdang Mountain. The leader called himself King Xu, showing off how many graves he had dug and how many gold, silver and jewelry he had hidden in his home. When he ran to Mangdang Mountain, he was preparing to dig up King Xiao of Liang for the New Year.

King Xu was about to dig out the grave of King Xiao of Liang, Liu Wu, and everyone shouted and beat him in an instant. Immediately, there was no one who knew it was a big boss who made a decision to clarify that the wind changed suddenly. All the princes all complained and scolded Dong Zhuo for having sores on his head. It was not enough to dig out the graves of countless families in Luoyang. He also had to run to Liang State to dig out the tombs. Dong Zhuo was so angry that he almost drew his sword to find the princes to fight another battle...

The world was full of troubles, and all parties were scolding each other. Either the princes were scolding each other with Dong Zhuo, or the princes were scolding each other due to shortage of money and food, or fighting with the Yellow Turban Army. However, all this had nothing to do with Dong Hu who ran to the plateau.

Dong Hu met with a group of envoys from the Western Regions. A few days later, the Cizhihe Ten Thousand Treasures sent news. After learning that Bai Ya had killed his envoys, he even brought ten thousand cavalry into the Cizhihe area. He was furious and immediately took Kuwa, Ajie, Yaowa and 20,000 to the plateau with 20,000 cavalrymen. Except for ten thousand armored Qiang cavalry, the rest were all strong and strong in the plateau Qiang in various villages wrapped in broken skins.

The Qiang people in the Hehuang Valley are half a plateau people, and they have strong adaptability to the plateau. After climbing the plateau, they just need to stop and adapt to it slightly to overcome the plateau reaction. The cattle and sheep in the territory are almost like this.

When he learned that Bai Ya had invaded the pasture of the Ten Thousand Tents of Cizhi River, Dong Hu also made a ruthless move and drove 400,000 cattle and sheep to the plateau. Bai Ya didn't know that Dong Hu had come to the plateau in person and took the ten thousand cavalry all the way north along Cizhi River. As soon as he stepped out of the plateau, he hit the muzzle of 20,000 to 30,000 cavalry.

Dong Hu personally took 10,000 armored cavalry to form a sharp arrow. The 10,000 to 20,000 behind whistled and waved the sabres and the Qiang cavalry followed. The two sides fought fiercely for half a day, and Bai Ya fled and defeated. Dong Hu chased after him all the way, all the way to the Baima Qiang tribe.

There is a big difference between the Qiang people in the plateau and the Qiang people in Liangzhou. Most of the Qiang tribes on the plateau have been wandering around in the same area for generations and rarely contact with outsiders. They usually look timid and honest, and they are even unbearable. But if the leader asks them to go to war, it will become another thing. They are extremely brave and fearless, but if the leader dies in battle or runs away, it will be another thing.

Because there is little contact with outsiders, although the Gaoyuan Qiang is not afraid of death, he has no rules in war, nor has any armor and protective gear. Even bows and arrows are far inferior to Han crossbows. In addition, there is no bracelet for stirrups, after encountering two ten thousand tents of Qiang cavalry that are also affiliated with the Gaoyuan Qiang lineage, under the gap of two or three times the strength, the 10,000 white horse Qiang cavalry could hardly stop it for a round.

If it was normal, Dong Hu would first be polite and then fight. After all, Bai Ya and Ahe had a special relationship, and he did not want to fight against the Baima Qiang. After all, the plateau environment was harsh and allowed to develop, and there would still be a few people in a thousand years. As long as a unified king was not allowed to appear on the plateau, it would be difficult for the plateau to threaten the Central Plains. After all, the plateau was few and wanted to rely on a tribe to expedition to the Central Plains for thousands of miles, not everyone could easily overcome it by just one grain and supplies. But he was extremely angry that Bai Ya killed the envoys who sent him.

From a country to a tribe or a family, you cannot easily kill the negotiating envoy. Once it is killed, it means war. When the two armies collided, Dong Hu didn't even say a few words with Bai Ya, and directly led his troops and horses to chase and kill them all the way, directly to the Baima Qiang tribe.

Baima Qiang did not expect Bai Ya to be defeated so badly, nor did he expect Dong Hu to kill their tribe. It was the grazing season. Before he could organize his resistance, countless people and cattle and sheep became one of the captives.

Dong Hu was angry with Bai Ya and hung him directly on the flagpole. The climate on the plateau was changing. The midsummer was still a death-storm at the last moment, and the next moment, it might snow and hail. It was nothing to experience all seasons of spring and autumn in one day. If the Han people who were not prepared ran to the plateau, even if they could adapt to the altitude sickness, if they were not prepared enough, just such back-and-forth climate change could make people die.

Bai Ya was hung on the flagpole by the angry Dong Hu for one day and threw it in front of Dong Hu. She became honest.

A group of noble masters tied tightly were thrown in front of him. Dong Hu didn't even raise his head, holding his huge cow legs and biting it. Ajie next to him was very attentive and hurriedly filled it with wine in front of him.

With a "bang", the clean calves were thrown on the small table. Ajie hurriedly took him a clean hand towel. While wiping the grease on his hands, Dong Hu glanced at the prisoners who were kneeling all over the ground with a cold face.

"Uncle Ya, is this the war you want? Is it the result you want?"

Dong Hu threw the towel on the table, stood up and stood in front of Bai Ya with disheveled hair.

"Uncle Ya, come and tell us that things have come to this point. Is there any need for Baima Qiang to continue to exist?"

Bai Ya's body trembled and her head was deeply stuck on the ground.

"Please... Please give me the king to see... for the sake of A Ke, forgive... for the Baima Qiang people..."

Dong Hu raised his big feet, stepped on Bai Ya's head with a cold face, and looked coldly at all the old and young people whose heads were buried in the soil...

"You should be glad that a woman came out of Baima Qiang, otherwise we will kill you all today!"

"snort!"

Dong Hu raised his feet, turned around and walked back to his seat, and Ajie hurriedly brought him tea again, as if he was worried that he would be furious.

"A few years ago, when we came to the Baima Qiang tribe for the second time, we told Lao Wang that we are willing to abide by the rules, the rules of the Gaoyuan Qiang, and the rules of the Han people!"

"When I came last time, we came with peace and sincerity. This time... After we learned that Ahe had found Cizhihequ, we were thinking, Uncle Ya and Ahe were uncles and nephews, and father and son, if Aunt was still alive, she would definitely not want to see you father and son slaughter each other, so we sent someone to Baima Qiang, with peace and sincerity, but you killed our envoys and declared war on us!"

"The Huns killed our envoys and declared war on us. We destroyed his Huns clan, and hundreds of thousands of Huns became our slaves!"

Dong Hu looked at the person coldly, then looked at Ahe, who was wearing armor and looked like a great general.

"Ahe, Uncle Ya is here. Whether to kill or not is up to you."

Ah He lowered his head and was silent. Dong Hu was not in a hurry. He knew that the people in the plateau were very similar in temperament. He drank tea while waiting for his decision. At this moment, Dong Hou, wearing armor, stepped into the tent, bowed and sent a letter, and quietly retreated to the side.

Dong Hu did not open the letter. No matter how urgent he was, he could not fly to the Central Plains now, and Ah He silently stepped forward and knelt on the ground.

"Please... please forgive my uncle."

Dong Hu raised his eyes and looked at the prisoners who were obviously relieved, and a faint sarcasm appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Since you are willing to reconcile with Yasun, we are happy in our hearts, and we can also forgive Baima Qiang's offense to this king. But we are also the general of the imperial chariot and cavalry, killing envoys, etc. If we start a war with the empire, we still have to have the necessary punishment, otherwise anyone will dare to kill the empire envoys."

Dong Hu waved to Ajie, and Ajie hurriedly came to her. He didn't care whether others were in front of him or not, and directly hugged Ajie in his arms.

"The clan members returned it to you, but the soldiers who attacked us cannot be returned to you. Half of them were left to Ahe, which was considered that Uncle Ya paid off Uncle Hu's debt, and the other half was left to Ajie, which was considered that you apologize to the Han Empire."

"Which family of soldiers originally belongs to, their families, cattle and sheep are sent here honestly. Of course, you can also use cattle and sheep and slaves to redeem the tribe members."

Dong Hu stood up and came to an old man next to Bai Ya, helping him untied the rope.

"Uncle Ghost, don't be angry. You always understand the rules of the Qiang people better than us. After Uncle Hu's death, Uncle Hu's property should belong to Ahe."

"Originally, we thought that Uncle Ya and Ahe were originally a family. If you take a step back, I will take a step back and the matter will be solved. If Uncle Ya has any dissatisfaction, it is okay to give some compensation from other aspects, but it is difficult for us to do this at this point."

"Twenty or thirty thousand brothers fought thousands of miles, and hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep were eaten alone, let alone brothers who died in battle. If the White Horse and Qiang don't compensate us, how can the brothers in the army be satisfied?"

Dong Hu helped the elder Bai Gui sit down and looked at everyone...
