When Dong Hu was confronting and fighting with the princes of Guandong, there were nearly 200,000 young and strong soldiers captured. Except for some of the people who were dragging the baggage, most of these soldiers were soldiers who dared to fight by the princes recruited with great righteousness. This type of soldiers was different from those who were forced to recruit.

Not only are they more motivated, but more importantly, most of them are poor and cannot stand it, or they are people who are full of food and not hungry for the whole family. They think that they can fight or make a fortune, and they dare to fight and fight than the soldiers who are forced to recruit.

Wealth and honor are in danger, and if 200,000 restless prisoners are simply released, it is not a good thing for the stability of the world, so Dong Hu needs to carry out some labor reform on them. As long as they are honest within three years, they can turn to farming people.

As long as they are prisoners, they are more or less special, and they cannot be easily placed in the people. They all need to be restrained for a period of time. The 200,000 prisoners have been restricted for three years. After Dong Hu took Yanzhou, Qingzhou, some soldiers belonging to Yanzhou, Qingzhou and Bohai County, and the civilians became baggage soldiers. Then they returned to their hometown. Some soldiers who were fed and not hungry from their families stayed on the military farm. For them, even if they returned to their hometown, they would not farm? Then it would be better to stay on the military farm and wait for the opportunity to make achievements!

The soldiers were not stupid either, especially some of the captured generals. They knew how much troops the Liangzhou army could use, and they would definitely have the opportunity to become regular soldiers in the future.

When the princes of Guandong rebelled, Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, Zhang Miao, the prefect of Yingchuan, Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun, Yuan Yi, the prefect of Shanyang County, Bao Xin, the prefect of Jibei, Kong Rong, the prefect of Qingzhou, and Yuan Shao, the prefect of Bohai County, Jizhou, was the most active. The captured soldiers were many strong. When Dong Hu took back Yanzhou, Qingzhou, and Bohai County, there were 100,000 people left Luoyang alone, and there were still 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers left behind.

Dong Hu was willing to capture the prisoners and returned to his hometown. They had been restricted by Luoyang for three years. Once they returned to their hometown, local officials and generals could hold the roster to recruit them as soon as possible and suppress local rebellions at any time.

Apart from the prisoners affiliated to Yanzhou, Qingzhou and Bohai County, the only ones left are the prisoners of Yingchuan County and Pei State. However, Yingchuan County is still under the rule of Zhang Xiu, a group of Dong Zhuo. Before that, Yingchuan County was controlled by Xu Rong, Hu Zhen and Zhang Ji. They did not have a very good attitude towards the people of Yingchuan County. When Dong Zhuo was alive, many people of Yingchuan County fled to Luoyang and Nanyang County. For this reason, even if Yingchuan prisoners were allowed to return to their hometown, they would not go back. What if Zhang Xiu's troops plunder them again?

The Yingchuan army was the one who fought five slags. It was successful to maintain public order, but it was impossible to fight. Therefore, Dong Hu transferred the "30,000 auxiliary soldiers in Luoyang" mainly to transfer the remaining Yanzhou army and the troops of Qiao County that Cao Cao originally recruited.

These auxiliary soldiers received military rules and regulations in the prison camp for three years. After becoming auxiliary soldiers, they also had to conduct some military training during the slack farming period, which was much stronger than recruiting the people in a short period of time. By mixing with the Qingzhou army that had just surrendered, they could suppress 20,000 Qingzhou troops from daring to move around.

But this was not enough. In order to better control the Qingzhou army, Dong Hu also recruited the fifth-rank generals Wu Ba, Liu Pi, Zang Ba, and Sun Guan, and sent a letter to Zhang Yan, the Heishan Army, asking him to recommend several loyal generals.

Although Mi Zhu is a different leader, he is a merchant and is still incomparable to Cao Bao, who holds thousands of Danyang soldiers. However, Chen Deng, the Diannong School Captain, who has never spoken, has 20,000 strong soldiers in his hands.

Cao Bao spoke coldly, but Mi Zhu did not dare to agree easily. Once he spoke, it meant that all the soldiers and horses in Xuzhou had fallen into Cao Bao's hands, and at this moment...

"It was the time when Xuzhou was alive and dead, I thought General Cao would not want Xuzhou to fall into the hands of the Liangzhou army. It would be better to take a step back. Our Xuzhou is united in fighting the bandits."

Everyone turned to see that the person who spoke was wearing a green shirt and a plain shirt was Chen Deng, the Diannong School Captain. Just as Cao Bao frowned and spoke, Chen Gong beside Lu Bu suddenly smiled.

"It is naturally the best to be able to focus on one's mind, but I don't know how Yuanlong wants to retreat?"

Chen Deng hugged Chen Gong and smiled and said, "General Lu is invincible, General Liu is kind and loving to the people. The people of Xuzhou really don't know how to choose. It's better to do this. General Lu leads five thousand troops to Pengcheng, and General Liu leads five thousand to Kaiyang. As long as one side can protect the people of Xuzhou, the people of Xuzhou will be willing to worship."

Chen Deng said something, Mi Zhu couldn't help but nodded silently, but Cao Bao was a little unhappy. He was the commander of the Danyang army, but Chen Deng spoke up and kept silent.

"I think this is feasible."

When Cao Rong spoke, Cao Bao's heart moved and immediately knew what he wanted to do. He couldn't help but look at Lu Bu who was frowning slightly.

"Bongxian, what do you think?"

Lu Bu looked at Liu Bei and then frowned: "Although Dong Hu is brave, Bu is not afraid of him. But... there are as many as thieves in Liangzhou, and only 5,000 soldiers and horses may be unstoppable."

Cao Bao couldn't help but nodded and looked at Chen Deng with a cold face.

"What Fengxian said is right. There are only 15,000 thieves in Langya Kingdom, but there are as many as 30,000 in Pengcheng. Only 5,000 soldiers and horses are not enough. Will Captain Chen take out another 5,000 soldiers and horses?"

To Cao Bao's expectations, Chen Deng smiled and nodded in agreement.

"Since we work together, Chen should help General Lu to block the thieves."

Lu Bu hugged Chen Deng and said nothing, which also made Cao Bao feel unhappy.

"Since Captain Chen is so generous, Cao is definitely not stingy!"

After saying that, Cao Bao didn't clasp his fists with others, turned around and left with great strides...

Seeing Cao Bao, Zuo Rong, Lu Bu, Chen Gong and others leaving, Liu Bei suddenly sighed.

"The Liangzhou army is powerful, and it is unlikely to resist the invasion of the thieves with just five thousand soldiers."

Liu Bei had never fought with the Taishan Army, but he had fought with the Liangzhou Army. He knew that Hu San and Pang De would probably not be able to stop the Liangzhou Army from continuing to move south, and there was a little more worry on his face.

"General Liu said very well. As the saying goes, the army cannot be defended for a long time. There must be other foreign aids. I think that Yuan Shu in Shouchun will not sit idly by and watch Xuzhou in danger."

Chen Deng didn't know how to choose. In the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao's massacre of Xuzhou did not happen, and Liu Bei was unable to lead the troops to rescue him. Instead, Lu Bu ran to Xuzhou first.

Dong Hu is a heretic in this world and a disruptor. The closer he is to him, the easier it is to have cause and effect with him and the more likely he is to be influenced by him.

After Dong Zhuo's death, Li Jue and Guo Si counterattacked Chang'an, and Lu Bu fled from Wu Pass to Jingzhou... As for why he did not escape from Tongguan? The reason is very simple. Li Jue and Guo Si attacked Chang'an from Luoyang to the west. Both of them were serious Han generals. It was impossible for them to be unprepared for the princes of Guandong to follow behind and enter the Guanzhong area. Hangu Pass and Tongguan would definitely have some defenses, which completely blocked Lu Bu's escape from the east and could only escape from Wu Pass.

Lu Bu first fled to Nanyang County occupied by Yuan Shu. If Yuan Shu didn't accept it, he went north to the empty Luoyang, crossed the Yellow River and entered Zhang Yang's territory in Henoi. He was afraid that Zhang Yang would kill him, so he defected to Yuan Shao. Then he stabbed Cao Cao in the butt with Zhang Miao, and then escaped into Xuzhou after being defeated by Cao Cao. Before that, Liu Bei had already entered Xuzhou in advance. That is, when Cao Cao invaded Xuzhou for the second time, it was because Lu Bu stabbed Cao Cao's butt, which forced Cao Cao to withdraw his troops. Xuzhou everyone thought it was Liu Bei's successor to Tao Qian and Xuzhou.
