Dong Hu held a bamboo pole and gestured in the direction of "Hebei", and pointed to Xuzhou and Yuzhou south.

"Xuzhou has five counties and states: Donghai, Langya, Pengcheng, Guangling and Xiapi."

"Not mentioning the Yellow Turban Army in Xuzhou, nor saying that Tao Qian is old and sick and difficult to live for a long time. Not to mention these, they are just about war."

"Langya County is the Beihai Kingdom in Qingzhou to the north, the sea to the east, the Taishan County in Yanzhou to the west, and the Donghai County occupied by Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian, and Donghai County is also adjacent to the Lu State."

"Langya County is our army in the north and west. Since the Lu State used a military force to restrain Donghai County, Taishan County and Beihai State attacked Langya County. Langya County can be seized. After Langya County is captured, the army of Yanzhou and Qingzhou have reached the end of Xuzhou Tao Qian's nest."

"In Yuzhou, Yingchuan, Liang State... including Yanzhou Chenliu has become the force to surround Chen State. However, if Chen State is taken down, it will gradually advance from north to south. After defeating Yuan Shu, even if he takes over the entire Yuzhou, the entire Jiangbei land will fall into our hands."

General Dong Hu explained his general strategic intentions and everyone was solemn.

"Not mentioning the gains and losses of Yanzhou and Qingzhou, looking at how many soldiers and horses Cao Cao has gained, it seems that he has become countless times stronger at once, but it is just a blown balloon to scare people."

"I won't mention Yanzhou and Qingzhou for the time being, nor Jizhou, Yuzhou, and Xuzhou. Let's only talk about Li Jue and Guo Si, and only talk about whether we should surrender Xu Rong, Hu Zhen, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji, Li Jue and Guo Si. They have followed their uncle for at least ten years to fight. Such experienced veterans and the same clan as ours, should we surrender them?"

Seeing everyone turning their heads left and right but not saying a word, Dong Hu smiled and pointed at Yingchuan and Liangguo with a small bamboo pole.

"If we surrender Li Jue and Guo Si, Yingchuan and Liang Kingdom are ours, we can put pressure on Yuan Shu. If we don't surrender them, Luoyang will face their threat. At the same time, Nanyang County will also be worried about us."

"Do we want to surrender them?"

...

Seeing that Dong Chong and his brothers bowed their heads and dared not speak, Dong Hu knew what they were thinking, and hung the small bamboo pole next to the map and signaled everyone to sit back on the seat.

"The people in the border areas are poor and easy to get messy, and they are not very good-natured. We know you are worried, and we are not worried. So we give them Yanzhou to them, and Yanzhou is sandwiched between Yin and Qingzhou, Henan. If they dare to have a different intention, we can attack them with one knife."

"And did not my uncle also restore the commander system of county and state? After becoming the governor and prefect, the subordinate lieutenants cannot be completely assigned by them. Moreover, after they join our army, they must abide by our rules. The commander of the army must be sent by the chief envoy to supervise the training of soldiers, logistics supplies, and promotion and removal of generals. The Censorate will also send a governor to supervise the illegality of each county and state... With these restrictions, what are you worried about?"

"Of course, you will have these restrictions and constraints in the future as the governor, prefect, and general of the prefecture in the future."

Dong Hu said seriously: "There are all kinds of reasons for the chaos in the world, but there is one reason that cannot be ignored, that is, the princes of all walks of life have broken the rules of the empire and no longer taken the rules seriously."

"The old rules are broken. If we are determined to be in the world, we must set up rules again. We must abide by the rules we set ourselves! If any of you make us rebellious and become a prince, you will definitely build your own rules. If you don't make up a set of rules, even if you become a overlord, you will be just a dry bone on the roadside in the end, either being killed or stabbed by your own brothers."

After hearing what he said, Dong Chong, Dong Fu, Zhang Liao and others all changed their faces, but Dong Hu smiled and waved his hand.

"You don't have to be nervous. Let's just compare and talk to you about the importance of rules. Whether it is the rules we set or what you set, you must abide by the rules, and we must also abide by the rules."

Dong Hu sighed, "Since we recruited two thousand mercenary camps, we became the King of Ganlang Qiang, the King of Plateau Qiang, and the King of Hehuang Qiang... Why?"

“Because of the rules.”

"Because we have to abide by the rules."

Dong Hu said: "We know that the court cannot tolerate us. If our brothers are members of the Han soldiers, we must abide by the rules of the Han soldiers. We cannot go to this point. The only thing that can avoid the constraints of the court must be outside the rules of the court, and at the same time, we are within the rules of the court."

"Because of the rules of the court, the vassal state commander can have his own clan members and soldiers. Whether the vassal state listens to the command or not is the rule allowed by the court."

Dong Hu smiled and said, "We are talking about this to tell you that yesterday we had 200,000 elite troops and had the strength to split the ground, but we still abide by the rules and we will still abide by the rules in the future."

"Dong Boyi followed the rules to make us go all the way to the present, so that we will always be one, and there is no reason to destroy our strong foundation in the future."

Dong Chong stood up and shouted: "Brother is right. If anyone dares to break our rules, our brother will definitely not agree!"

The generals nodded together, fearing that they would really become traitors, and Dong Hu couldn't help but laugh.

"You are all our brothers, so we naturally trust you. That's all about Li Jue and Guo Si."

Dong Hu turned to Yao Yong.

"I won't mention the matter on the battlefield. It will take two months later for us to transfer troops into Yanzhou. Cao Cao had just swallowed up millions of Yellow Turban Army. The battle between the millions of Yellow Turban Army and the Yanzhou tribes would take some time to brew, but the six ministers asked the mansion to readjust the matter. We should form a small court in advance to manage Liangzhou, Bingzhou, Sili School Office, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Yuzhou, Xuzhou, as well as the grassland and plateau to send letters to each state, asking them to recommend officials, officials, and the ranks of general officials must also be determined."

Yao Shan and all the generals were blushed. Dong Hu's words meant that they would hold up the banner of fighting for dominance and want to be king and change the dynasty themselves...

"promise!"

...

Dong Hu believed that his brothers were not unable to see that he wanted to win over Dong Zhuo and his generals, but there were people in the world. In addition, the uncle and nephew factions had quarreled ten years ago, and the cake was so big that his brother had not yet gained benefits. Outsiders would have to reach out to take away the biggest piece. Not to mention a group of young generals, even veterans like Yao Shan and Dong San were also dissatisfied.

In addition to the general, before Li Jue and Guo Si could further news, Da Ya and San Ya also came over. The two wives were not only because of the Yanzhou incident, but also because of the "Liu Bian".

Dong Hu is unwilling to talk to others about the "Liu Bian" matter. After some things are involved, he does not want people to know his plan for the "brothers". Before his career can be achieved, there will be a gap between the brothers. Can we still make a fortune together?

I think Dong Chong, Dong Fu and the others were not very satisfied with Liu Bian, and they didn't dare to talk too much about this matter, so Da Ya and San Ya asked.

Sanya was not calm enough, so she scolded her and drove her back to Luoyang. When she went to bed at night, she thought about talking to Daya again and again...

"Turn Liu Xie to Jingxiang. The relationship between Bian and Liu Xie is there. You are worried about it, but we are not very worried about these things. If we were not involved, the two brothers might work together... Although we are very suspicious, it does not mean that there is no possibility. But when we are involved, the two brothers will have a great chance of going against each other."

Dong Hu lay on the bed and suddenly spoke. During the day, he got angry and drove San Ya to Luoyang. He had a dark face all day long. Da Ya didn't dare to provoke him anymore. He just thought he was really angry. It was not until he spoke that he dared to hold his waist and abdomen sideways.

"well……"

Dong Hu sighed.

"Personality determines destiny. Brother Bian was born noble. If it were during the peaceful period, he could be a king, but when troubled times came... he could not bear the burden of the rise of the empire, let alone he had abdicated."

"So, there is no need for you to worry about Brother Bian."

He got angry during the day, and Da Ya was worried that he was still angry, so she hesitated...

"What my husband said is that the brothers are not worried about Shi Hou, but... they are just worried that the emperor will become the capital of Xiangyang, Nanyang County... Nanyang County..."

"Will Nanyang County become the frontier of attacking Luoyang?"

Dong Hu said it for her, then turned over again, and his heavy body pressed on her, staring at Da Ya's blushing cheeks very dissatisfied.

"Can we not know that Nanyang County is a security barrier south of Luoyang?"

...

"snort!"

Dong Hu hummed angrily and then opened it from her.

"Bian Ge is a little cowardly, but he is not stupid. He can judge the importance of powerful ministers to the Han Dynasty from our words."

"Being able to become a powerful minister means that the powerful ministers are the only one in strength, just like a tiger that shocks a group of wolves and dare not move around. If a tiger dies, the wolf will fight each other and decide a wolf king. After the tiger dies, the wolf fight will inevitably cause bloodshed. When the empire is stable, this kind of power fight cannot shake the national body, but when is it now?"

"The world is in chaos, and the court can no longer withstand such fierce competition. It seems that we will let Li Jue and Guo Si bully Liu Xie and ministers severely, and we will also speak with Bian to make them remember and ask them to be cautious when dealing with powerful ministers."

"For Brother Bian, are we doing the right thing?"

"Maybe it is wrong. After all, it is unfaithful to the king in this way, but it can also be said to be a good medicine for the bitter taste."

"What about Liu Xie and the ministers? Will they be really cautious? Will they treat powerful ministers cautiously in "stabilizing the hearts of the people"?"

Dong Hu shook his head disdainfully.

"No, they will not be cautious, they will only think of their uncle, we, Li Jue and Guo Si... They think that powerful ministers are extremely dangerous and will instinctively suppress all powerful ministers!"

"It is true that suppression is true, but after they fled to Jingzhou, wouldn't there be any powerful ministers? How could it be? Liu's strength was better than Liu Xie and the court officials who fled in the down and out. Liu Biao would be the first powerful minister!"

"Strike Liu Biao, Jingzhou chaos... Perhaps Liu Xie and the court will collude with Yuan Shu of Runan County, Xuzhou Tao Qian, and Yizhou Liu Yan... collude with our unexpected 'foreign army'. Just like He Jin and Yuan Shao secretly recruited foreign troops to threaten Luoyang, Liu Xie and the court officials may recruit a group of foreign troops to threaten Liu Biao, but it is not necessary to kill Liu Biao."

"The importance of keeping a stable talk with Bian. What would he think when he saw Liu Xie and the court messing around so much? Will it aggravate the chaos in the court?"

"Won't!"

"Unless Brother Bian has the ambition to be the emperor, he will not join this chaos. Once he joins, it will not be of any benefit to the survival of the court or his own life!"

Dong Hu smiled bitterly and said, "Bian Bian is simpler than Liu Xie. He is close to us, but he is unwilling to completely fall down in his heart. As long as we tell him that the more he is, the more the Han Dynasty will collapse, he will not easily intervene in the affairs of the court. If he is unwilling to help or suppress Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, he will definitely become the object of resentment of Liu Xie and the court officials. This will also lead to a result, that is, push Bian Bian to us, and Nanyang County will always be our southern barrier."
