Dong Hu didn't know why Wang Yun was so confident. Perhaps he thought that the world was still the time when Emperor Ling Liu Hong was alive, and he thought that he would continue to endure the court's repeated small movements, but he didn't know that the world was different at this time than when Emperor Liu Hong was alive.

No matter how bad Emperor Liu Hong was, the world was not really in chaos in general. Dong Hu was unwilling to make the world chaotic because of his own reasons. This was not in line with his martial ethics.

Warriors, stop the sword.

If the Han Dynasty had not had too many problems, perhaps he would have killed Dong Zhuo, Niu Fu, Li Jue and Guo Si and others with his own hands. When he saw Cao Cao, Yuan Shao had no hesitation to kill them. He killed the people and ran to the plateau to herd sheep.

But he knew that the court at this time was like an old and weak man, who had reached the end of his life. The cycle of heaven was reincarnation, and some things could only be destroyed by war.

The world is not in chaos, and Dong Hu is unwilling to break through the bottom line, but the world is in chaos. As a warrior, he has the responsibility to "stop the sword" and return peace to the world. As for the court...

The pride of later generations is not someone's slave. Even if it is, it is also a slave to the entire nation, not Liu Hong and Liu Xie's slaves, nor Dong Zhuo, Wang Yun and Cao Cao. For Dong Hu, they do not have the qualifications yet!

Wang Yun was still living in self-righteousness, thinking that a "Han chamber" could make everyone obey orders, but he didn't know that because of his willful acts, the Han Dynasty completely collapsed and the Liangzhou army was completely out of control.

Dong Sizhong left Shangai County that night. As usual, Dong Hu got up early and practiced martial arts in the yard. After eating some breakfast, he handed the secret letter from Chang'an to veteran Yao Yong...

"What--"

Yao Yong didn't care too much at first, but when he just saw it, he jumped up and looked at Dong Hu in shock.

"Lu...Lu Bu killed the Grand Master?"

"Um."

Dong Hu nodded and pointed to the letter.

"It was a letter sent by the Chang'an spy."

Yao Yong was stunned for a few breaths...

"Thuwa, you are confused! How can you sit still after such a big thing happening?"

"Come!"

Yao Yong shouted loudly to the outside and was about to return to Jinyang immediately. If such a big thing happened, how could he sit still?

"Uncle Yong, why are you so anxious? We had already asked Sizhong to return to Hedong last night."

Dong Hu grabbed the old man's arm and pressed him back to the seat.

"We have been trapped in a cage by Guanzhong. So what if anything big happens in Chang'an? We have enough ability to control the situation. Uncle Yong, why are you so anxious?"

Yao Yong glared at him, and then suddenly scratched his head and smiled.

"It's really... So what if those bastards kill the Grand Master? Can they still escape from our palms?"

Dong Hu couldn't help but smile and said, "I'm not hiding Uncle Yong, I would rather the court escape from Chang'an."

"ah?"

Yao Yong was shocked and his expression became solemn.

"Thuwa, please tell us honestly, what are you thinking?"

Dong Hu frowned and thought for a while, and said, "When Uncle Dashan was alive, we talked about this matter with Uncle Dashan. In the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, it was difficult for the powerful ministers of all dynasties to die well, especially after Emperor Guangwu, almost every general suffered a tragic disaster in the family. I won't mention the farthest ones, such as General He Jin, and his current uncle."

"If we become the Grand Master, will we die at the hands of another Wang Yun?"

"Who dares to see?" Yao Yong was furious.

Dong Hu was very big and small, hugged the old man's shoulder and smiled, "Uncle Yong, don't believe it. If we become the Grand Tutor, there will definitely be someone in the court who wants our lives, including that little emperor!"

"If the ministers with ulterior motives were not used, and the court was full of our own people, what would the world say about us? Will we take the will of the court seriously?"

"If we are all in and out of the court, we will be useless in the court's righteousness. But if we use the ministers in the court, no one can guarantee whether we can see the next day sun."

"If you don't say anything else, just look at Wang Yun, Lu Bu, is Wang Yun the Situ appointed by his uncle? Is his uncle worthy of Wang Yun? But didn't his uncle die at his hands?"

Dong Hu sighed, "We Liangzhou people have always been on the periphery of the imperial power center. No matter what we do, it will not be right. Instead of doing this, it is better to let the court leave our scope. The righteousness of the Han Dynasty is meaningless to us. Our territory and our people have all earned it with our hands. From the moment when Lintao recruited mercenaries, we have never relied on anyone. Whether there is or not, we have reached the present, and the future path will surely be our own."

"Apart from the unreliable court officials, even if they are willing to cooperate with us sincerely, Huwa doesn't want to have too much connection with them."

Dong Hu looked at Yao Yong who was a little stunned and smiled and said, "The world is so big, with only so many people. Once we personally forge a new dynasty, the old people of your generation will definitely be enthroned by kings of different surnames. Even if Uncle Dashan dies, he will definitely be awarded a prince in the future. Our own brothers are either kings or marquis. Apart from ourselves, if we are allocated to those ministers and families who have different dreams, can the remaining people maintain the normal operation of the brand new empire we have been fighting for all our lives?"

Yao Yong's heart beat wildly. Anyone who is Dong Buyi doesn't want the boy in front of him to fight alone. When he hears that he has the opportunity to become a king of a different surname, his heart beats wildly and nods continuously.

"Huwa, you are right. We will fight the world by ourselves. Why do we have to be the king and marquis for those guys who think about our death all day long? You can do whatever you say. If those old guys don't agree with each other, we will fight with them!"

"Haha... Uncle Yong, you are too worried, it's not that serious!"

Dong Hu couldn't help but smile.

"At the beginning, we were not sure whether we could gain a foothold in Luoyang, keep the court's righteousness, and block others' mouths. But now, we have basically stood firm. Although the foundation is not very stable, we have basically stood firm. It is a bit inappropriate for the court to stay in our hands. This will make our people think that they are the people of the court, which is not conducive to the people's complete return to us."

"First, the court is different from us and always has the intention to kill us; second, the number of kings and princes in the future needs to be controlled to a certain number, and the tax revenue of the empire cannot be affected by the number of kings and princes. If the tax is insufficient, the empire will not last long. If the empire cannot last long, how can the descendants enjoy the family business we earn? Third, the issue of people's support. As we just said, if we do not have a court on our heads, we will eat and wear everyone who is governed, the people will think it is our credit, but if there is a court on our heads, the people will think it is the credit of the court. We have fought for the rest of our lives, but the people will only say that the court is good. Will we lose money?"

Yao Yong nodded repeatedly.

"Huwa, you are right. From the beginning, the court has never given us any help. Not only does it not help, but it has caused a lot of trouble!"

"When we were mercenary camp, we had to fight with the food we borrowed ourselves. We finally robbed Ganlang Valley and Hehuang Valley, and we returned the cattle and sheep to them. The people were naturally ours."

"The Huns and Xianbei people plunder Yanmen County. In the winter, we took hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban Army prisoners to Yanmen County, and we distributed land to the people... and Taiyuan, Shangdang, Liangzhou, Hanzhong, Luoyang... Which people did not come from us to work hard? For those people, we spent countless money on grain, cattle and sheep! The people distributed land and taxes were reduced. Although the time was shorter, as long as we worked diligently for three or five years, all the houses would be full of granaries... We spent so much, and the court was helpless. Why should we let the people say that the court was good, instead of saying that we were good?"

"Huwa, you are right. Whoever wants the court wants, we don't want it! Isn't it just a seven heroes fighting for hegemony? Whoever fights with us will fight with him! Which one of us Liangzhou people are afraid of?"

Dong Hu nodded and said, "That's what we mean. It's better to rely on ourselves than rely on heaven and earth. And now we force the court to escape from Chang'an, which is also quite beneficial to the capture of Qingyan and Yanzhou."

Yao Yong couldn't help but be stunned.

"Does Chang'an still have something to do with Qingyan?"

Dong Hu frowned and thought for a while, saying, "According to the current scale and advancement speed of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, Yanzhou will definitely be in chaos because of this, but we think that the one who won the final victory will be Cao Cao."

"After Cao Cao defeated the millions of Yellow Turban Army, he had two choices. One was to kill all the millions of Yellow Turban Army to gain recognition from the big families of all prefectures and counties in Yanzhou; the other was to surrender the millions of Yellow Turban Army and then become the overlord of Yanzhou."

"There are too many millions of Yellow Turban Army. Even if Cao Cao wins on the battlefield, he will not be able to kill everyone on the battlefield. There will definitely be a large number of people surrender, so Cao Cao will face the two choices of killing prisoners and taking them for himself."

"Because of the time when the Yellow Turban Army of Qingzhou rebelled last year, it was basically difficult for Qingzhou to have summer grain to support millions of refugees, so they must enter Yanzhou nearby to plunder summer grain. Once Yanzhou suffers from war, the people dare not go out of the city to collect summer grain. The summer grain in Yanzhou will either be robbed by the millions of Yellow Turban Army of Qingzhou, or be wasted on the ground, so... a famine will inevitably occur in Yanzhou."

"If all the prisoners of the millions of Yellow Turban Army are killed, the money and food losses of each major family will be reduced a lot. Cao Cao will naturally be recognized by each major family, but Cao Cao will face a dilemma, that is, Cao Cao will become a puppet of each major family in Yanzhou. If each family gives him food, he will have soldiers. If he doesn't give him any, he will have no soldiers. But at the same time, if we send troops to Yanzhou, the major families in Yanzhou will form a group to fight with us."

"The second choice is extremely beneficial to Cao Cao. Once he surrenders the millions of Yellow Turban Army, there are 200,000 to 300,000 of them, and tens of thousands of strong soldiers can be used to train soldiers. In a short time, Cao Cao can have tens of thousands of direct troops, but Cao Cao himself is not able to support the millions of Yellow Turban Army. We cut off his secret dig of King Xiao of Liang and do not have the money and food to support so many people. What should we do?"

"There is no way. Cao Cao has only one way, that is, deliberately instigating the Qingzhou army to plunder the wealthy families in Yanzhou. In this way, Cao Cao will become the enemy of the major families in Yanzhou. At that time, we can send troops to Yanzhou and Qingzhou. If Cao Cao defeats Cao, the two states will become our territory."

Dong Hu smiled and said, "Zhang Yan, the Black Mountain Army, surrendered to us, and we naturally get close to the Yellow Turban Army. Even if Cao Cao surrendered the millions of Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou, because the time was too short, once he fought with us, Cao Cao's troops would collapse instantly, and it would be extremely easy to defeat him."

"But Uncle Yong can also hear some clues from our words, that is, we cannot let Cao Cao feel threatened. Once he feels threatened, he may kill all millions of Yellow Turban Army in one fell swoop in the face of reality, so as to gain the support of various families in Yanzhou. In this way, we cannot attack Yanzhou. At least we cannot easily attack Yanzhou without creating many powerful weapons. Once we are dragged down by cities in Yanzhou, it is very likely that the seven states of "Ji Qing Yan Yu Jing Xu Yang" will unite."

Dong Hu said thoughtfully: "Cao Cao is extremely cunning, and it is extremely difficult for him to not feel the threat. But now the court has given us a reasonable excuse, that is, to mobilize half of the troops in Luoyang to threaten Guanzhong."

"hehe……"
