Chapter 68 Huangfu Song wants Huwa to be an official? 【Chapter 3】
Dong Mao’s words are very explicit. A person who is obviously capable of sticking to the baggage camp but deliberately does not stick to it. Can such a person be said to be a thief?
Dong Zhuo smiled bitterly. Although others were dissatisfied and frowned, they no longer spoke in front of the city gate. They followed Dong Mao, who had poor legs and feet, all the way to the temporary general administration office, and Dong Hu was temporarily added to the official position.
Dong Hu was not a member of the Han Dynasty. After he joined the army of quelling the rebellion under the name of the leader of the Ganlang Valley, he was at most a member of the "Yi Conghu". However, the Han Dynasty did not give him the treatment that Yi Conghu should have. He seemed to be a member of the court, but in fact he was wandering.
It was wandering outside, and the court had no choice but to command his troops. Moreover, the soldiers and horses in Yuzhong City were mixed at this time, and Dong Mao could not command the troops in Lintao Dong's name. Those Qiang people who had just surrendered could not listen to him. The Dong army and the mercenary army were different from the mercenary army, and there were also large baggage camps in the rear...
It not only involves the internal affairs of the military, but also involves many affairs of the military, political, civil and legal system, and cannot be governed by the imperial court. When Dong Hu was not around, Dong Mao became the general manager of the Warrior City in Yuzhong, and the general manager of all affairs.
When a group of people entered the General Administration, no one would care about cleaning up the city's garbage and building houses along the way. For the big guys, these were trivial matters, but they didn't see Dong Hu until they entered the General Administration, which made the big guys very unhappy.
Huangfu Song, who was sitting in the position of the chief general, was wondering what he was thinking, and frowned slightly to look at Dong Mao in the last position.
"A few days ago, Dong Hu led his troops to fight with the thieves, why didn't he inform the general in advance? Why didn't he send a letter to inform him immediately after the war?"
Dong Mao stood up and fisted and said, "Huwa led his troops to farm. In the past month, the thief army only left three or five hundred people to harass the city. The war broke out too suddenly."
"Our army fought with the bandit army too suddenly. When the bandit army was panic and evacuated, it was defeated by our army. The bandits would inevitably fall into panic and in chaos. Our army had strong military strength and had no shortage of supplies in a short period of time. Even if the bandit army led troops to attack, it would be difficult for the bandit army to capture Yuzhong Pass in a short period of time."
Everyone frowned. Even if Dong Mao didn't say these things, they could think of them.
The sudden outbreak of the war is understandably not reported in advance, but what about after the war? Why did you not report it secretly after the war?
Dong Zhuo was a little impatient and said, "Don't tell us this, where is the tiger baby? Why don't you come to see us?"
Dong Mao smiled bitterly and said, "After the battle, Huwa had already led 5,000 cavalry south to Jishi Mountain overnight. At this time... I'm afraid he had already crossed the Heguan Pass..."
"What?"
Dong Zhuo suddenly stood up, not only him, but also stood up in shock...
"Damn it!"
Dong Zhuo was furious.
"This matter is so serious, why don't you tell us in advance?"
Dong Mao thought for a while, came to Dong Zhuo with a cane, holding his father's arm with one hand, and Niu Fu beside him hurriedly gave up his seat.
"Father, please calm down..."
Dong Mao pulled it twice before Dong Zhuo was so angry that he sat down.
"snort!"
"No matter what reason you said, we will definitely beat the tiger baby this time, it's too slutty!"
Dong Zhuo hummed angrily, Dong Mao had no choice but to smile bitterly, and ignored others' strangeness and explained with a wry smile.
"The boy also said that there are 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers in the city, and they can't stand it. Those thieves can do nothing about the boy."
"Yuzhong, the warriors' city is as stable as Mount Tai, and the bandits cannot be allowed to go to Anding County. Longxi County threatened the three servants. At this time, the city was full of newly surrendered soldiers. If the military law was severe for countless months, they would not be able to leave the city to fight the bandits. Our army could only temporarily stop and confront the bandits for the time being."
Dong Mao sighed, "Where is not here, our army can only stop here, and can only wait for the battle with the enemy to the death in the autumn, but this will also give the thieves a chance to breathe. In order not to give the thieves a chance to breathe, avoiding the thieves following Zhiyang and Yunjie, ordering the three passes to invade the four counties of Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiuquan and Dunhuang, and then making a big trouble again. Huwa led his troops alone to attack the Hehuang Valley."
"Damn..."
"Don't worry, Father, just after the war, the thieves would not easily divide their troops into Yunwu City when they were not sure whether we would fight with them immediately. When they got the news, the tiger widow had already entered their nest."
"The bandit army is defeated and lost the city, and the nest is attacked by Huwa thousands of miles away. The bandits' morale will be in chaos. Even if our army cannot regain the Jincheng Pass for a while, it will be difficult for them to cause trouble for the four northwest counties in Liangzhou. After learning that the bandit army is defeated, the Qiang people in the territory can be safe and stable. We only need a battle after the autumn, and we will be able to wipe out the bandits in one fell swoop."
Dong Mao said helplessly again: "Thuwa has not seen his father yet. General Huangfu agreed to the arrows used by the five thousand soldiers. Huwa felt that if he told his father and General Huangfu, even if his father and General Huangfu agreed, it would take several days to go back and forth. If the thieves noticed this, a thousand-mile attack would not only be dangerous, but also missed the opportunity, which would cost more money, food and the lives of soldiers."
Dong Hu was very angry. After so long, he had never seen the supplies he promised to give him. He had not received any benefit from the bulls facing Jinchengsai. Not only did he not get more cattle and sheep, but he also had to use his cattle and sheep to feed the surrendered rebels. It was difficult to effectively supplement the damaged weapons.
If it continues to increase and decrease, it seems that the troops are increasing, and I will be dragged to death by life. After seizing the opportunity, I took advantage of Beigong Boyu and others hesitating and dared not divide the troops and rushed to the Hehuang Valley overnight to grab the cattle and sheep in the Hehuang Valley.
For Dong Hu, only by robbing the rear and the baggage camp can he eat. Apart from robbing the surrendered troops who are not as good as the ones, he will only be unlucky.
Dong Zhuo, Huangfu Song is not a fool, of course he can hear some dissatisfaction from Dong Mao's words, but...
Huangfu Song was not easy to speak, but Dong Zhuo wanted to press his son down. Just as he was about to speak, the strange-looking Zhongchang Shi Guo Sheng spoke.
"I think Dong is good at engaging in a plan. If he can quell the Qiang rebellion as soon as possible, the court can save a lot of money."
Guo Sheng looked at Huangfu Song with a slightly frown, with a smile on his face.
"What does General Huangfu think?"
Listening to Guo Sheng's words, everyone frowned.
Huangfu Song frowned for a moment and nodded, "I also think Dong is good at engaging in the strategy. As Dong said, the soldiers in the city are all newly surrendered soldiers and cannot fight with the enemy in a short time."
He also said: "According to the plan, the imperial army would also have to fight head-on after autumn, and the army would fight from Jishishan into Hehuang Valley. Since then... Dong Hu led his troops into Hehuang Valley, the imperial army would have to fight with the enemy in advance."
Guo Shengtong had a hint of satisfaction, and nodded and smiled, "Since General Huangfu has a certain mindset, I have nothing to worry about."
After saying that, Guo Sheng smiled and nodded at Dong Mao for no reason.
"Even when I was in Luoyang, I heard some loyalty and righteousness that Dong was engaged in. The soldiers fought bloody battles with the enemy. I think General Huangfu would not even give swords, guns and arrows. Don't worry too much about Dong's involvement."
Dong Mao was stunned. He didn't expect Guo Sheng to say this, but at this time, he couldn't help but clasp his fists and express it.
"The younger generation thanked my father-in-law for taking care of him."
"The envoy" is a business, and "The envoy" is a private relationship. Even if Dong Mao had never entered the officialdom, he could understand Guo Sheng's intention of recruiting, but when he was in front of others, he could only agree in the name of his younger generation.
Junior generations, younger generations, even if there is something wrong with others, it is difficult for others to scold them in person.
Guo Sheng was very satisfied with Dong Mao's words and did not say more after smiling and nodding.
Guo Sheng suddenly spoke, and the atmosphere in the hall became a little strange. They all looked at each other and didn't know what to say...
Huangfu Song couldn't stop talking if others didn't speak, but he did not look at Dong Mao, but turned to look at Dong Zhuo.
"This time the imperial court ordered us to quell the thieves and rebellion. If the government orders were not completed, it would be inappropriate. Dong Hu was quite good at farming and farming. I want to recruit someone to do it. I wonder if Dong Sima can give up?"
Dong Zhuo, Dong Mao and his son frowned, but Dong Huang, who was sitting behind Dong Zhuo, came forward.
"Uncle, Huwa is good at wealth in Lintao. If he can..."
"Shut up!"
Dong Zhuo's old face was furious, and Dong Huang had to bow his head and retreat. Everyone looked at the three Dong family with strange looks.
Dong Zhuo frowned and sighed again.
"well……"
Dong Zhuo did not answer Huangfu Song with a frown on his face, but looked at Dong Mao with a wry smile.
"Mao'er, let's ask you, does Huwa have any arrangements for mercenaries and surrendered soldiers?"
Dong Mao was stunned, and then he understood the meaning of his father's words, and also smiled bitterly.
"My father knew best, the mercenaries had no food and pay, no weapons, armor and equipment, and they only hoped to kill the thieves and seize them. This time our army recaptured Yuzhong, the warriors and the two cities of cattle and sheep, and there was no way to share the soldiers. Apart from the clothes of dead people and the damaged swords and weapons, all they had obtained were the farmed fields."
"After this battle, if the mercenaries take the initiative to leave, each person can obtain some land here, and raise cattle and sheep by themselves. If they are willing to stay in the mercenary camp, they can become the villager here. If the court has any war, they can recruit and mobilize at any time."
Dong Mao continued: "There are no people who farm here, and the mercenaries are all loyal, brave and kind people in Lintao. They can live here to farm, but those rebels are people who rebel again and again. If they do not discipline them strictly, it will be inappropriate. They should be placed carefully."
"Ten thousand surrendered troops were placed in Longxi, Anding, Beidi, Hanyang and other counties. Once the rebellion arises, not only will these four counties be in turmoil, but the capital of the Three Guards will be in panic."
"The four counties of Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiuquan and Dunhuang are resettled. These four counties are already filled with Qiang people and chaotic. If tens of thousands of surrendered soldiers are in chaos, in a short period of time, the four counties will be captured and taken away by thieves. If the court wants to pacify them, it will cost even more."
"In view of this, Huwa felt that if they were asked to herd sheep on the plateau or sent them into the Hehuang Valley, as long as they were not as confused as Chen Taishou, as long as Yunwu City and Jincheng Pass were not lost, even if they resurrected the rebellion, it would be difficult for the thieves to make great efforts."
Dong Zhuo nodded with satisfaction and said, "In other words, Huwa is planning to take those guys with the branded words to the remote plateau of wilderness and remote plateau to herd sheep?"
