Chapter 772 Punishment of Dian Wei and Xu Chu
Dong Hu threw the letter down, changed into a more comfortable position, turned his head to look at Dong Bai, and then signaled the letter sent by Sun Niu with his eyes... It was not until Dong Bai delivered the letter to Dong Chong that he spoke again.
"You should know one thing, whether it is a group of soldiers or Qingzhou Army... There will definitely be other troops surrendering us in the future, such as the Jizhou Army under Yuan Shao's name and the Youzhou Army under Gongsun Zan's name."
"They surrendered and became a member of our army, but it does not mean that they are really our brothers."
Dong Hu smiled at Dian Wei who was a little surprised, and Xu Chu smiled.
"Since we have joined our army, we should be treated fairly. Otherwise, who else will surrender to us and bow our heads in the future?"
"It sounds a bit confusing, but you didn't understand the difference between Dong Buyicheng and his uncle and Qingzhou Army. This difference is not just because Dong Buyicheng is our direct line, but has different inner ideas and concepts!"
"The uncle and the Qingzhou army are in the same line. They seem to have joined our army. In fact, they are no different from the princes who are separating the world. If they are not restrained, they will cause trouble to the local area. However, Dong Buyi's military rules and regulations are much better. Even if they fight independently thousands of miles away, we will not be too worried. We believe Dong Chi and Liu Qi who are far away on the northern Mobei grassland, Hua Xiong, Yang Xiong, Si Yi of the southern Mobei grassland, Yang Xiong, General Hetao Yang Xiong, General Bingzhou Dong Xiaoyi, Dong Xin, Dong Yao, Two Ministers of the Ten Thousand Points Dong Ding and Dong Huang, General Hanzhong Xu Huang, and Dong Buyi who are scattered from any soldiers..."
"We believe them not because they are our brothers and sisters, but because they have the moral character of warriors, but because Dong Buyicon's promotion system is different from other armies."
Dong Hu looked at Dian Wei, Xu Chu was stunned and couldn't help but smile.
"We believe in you, and we believe in Zhang Yan, Zhao Yun, Zang Ba, Sun Guan and others who have just joined. Even Li Jue and Guo Si, we believe that they will not rebel."
"The reasons for you not to rebel are different. The uncle and generals will not rebel. One is that they have no choice. No matter who they surrender, they will never be trusted. If they become kings... within three or five years, they will die! Two... we are willing to give them the status they deserve."
"The Qingzhou Army, the Heishan Army and the generals of my uncle are in a similar situation, and they are also similar to your character. They are not half-hearted generals, but Li Jue and Guo Si are not as good as you in terms of nature."
Dong Hu sighed in his heart that the reason why he valued Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Zhao Yun, Pang De, Wu'anguo, Zhang Yan, Zang Ba and others was that he liked their loyalty and was not a person who easily rebeled, but this was different from the "martial morality" that Dong Hu had always talked about.
Dong Hu sighed lightly and said, "The eight virtues of martial arts are benevolence, righteousness, loyalty, trustworthiness, wisdom, courage and strictness. We would rather see you put 'benevolence and righteousness' first, that is, treat the people with benevolence and the country with righteousness, rather than loyal ministers and not serving the two masters."
"Warriors, stop the sword. The duty of the warriors is to calm the war and restore peace in the world, rather than create war. It's just that the world is in chaos, the empire has declined, and the court can no longer bear the responsibility they should bear. So at this time, as warriors, we must return peace in the world."
"But then again, we are loyal to the court and the emperor. Can the court tolerate us? Can the Dongbuyicong?"
"cannot!"
Dong Hu is extremely firm.
"It seems that like the rebellious princes of all walks of life, we are all creating rebellion from the court, but in fact they are different. We rebelled not for power or to become emperors, but because the world is in chaos and the people are in war and displaced. We and our brothers want to turn the world around and return peace to the world."
"But the court doesn't believe us. I have not believed in us since ten years ago. You have also seen that we and our brothers have been lying in Bingzhou and Liangzhou. We have not entered the Central Plains and have not threatened the safety of the Central Plains. But the world is still in chaos!"
"With us and without us, the world will be full of war and the people will be displaced..."
Dong Hu sighed and shook his head, saying, "We believe in you, because you are loyal ministers who will never stop until death, but we don't believe in the Qingzhou army that plunders the people, nor do we believe in the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in my uncle's hands unless they can truly change, abide by the military rules and regulations of our army, be able to honestly farm and self-discipline, and be able to voluntarily help the people build bridges and pave roads..."
"Only if they really take the people to heart, we will consider them as local officials. Otherwise, the people under their rule will only become slaves and will only abuse the people brutally!"
"This is not the scene we want to see, nor is it the result we want!"
Dian Wei and Xu Chu were a little ashamed and looked uneasy. Seeing them like this, Dong Hu shook his head again.
"We don't need you to be absolutely loyal to us. If you think we and Dong Buyi have never had martial ethics, any of you can rebel, and we would rather you make such a decision."
"This time, the soldiers retired and transferred, including Dong Yue, Yu Shuang, Zhang Xiu, Dong Shang's troops, and Qingzhou Army. We will not be transferred to officials. We will use our eyes to see what each battalion does and decide based on the report of the commander of each battalion."
"It is the most basic responsibility of a warrior to fight bravely. He doesn't even have the ability to kill enemies. Why should we use money and food to support a group of waste?"
"So, killing enemies and making meritorious contributions is not a necessary condition for getting rewards. It is the only way to ensure the people in the area to be safe and healthy! They often plunder the people, and if they are dissatisfied, they will roar in the camp and raise their swords to rebel. What qualifications are there for such a ***** to be an official or a general?"
Dong Hu turned to Dong Chong.
"Zhong, you personally wrote letters to Dong Yue, Yu Shuang, Zhang Xiu, and others, and letters to the leaders of each camp, including the camps to which Dong Buyi belongs."
"Let us say that one carrot and one pit, there are only so many local officials. We cannot let every retired soldier become an official. We only choose to abide by military rules and regulations, read and read, and treat the people well. If we can't do it... or don't want to mess with us, we can take off our armor and go back to our hometown to farm."
Dong Chong stood up and clasped his fists.
"promise!"
Dong Hu stood up, came to Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and kicked Xu Chu lightly.
"Shanziying is our old direct line. We have fought in the south and north for ten years and have made countless achievements. Even if we have received merits and punishments, they are the first batch of rewards."
"Qingzhou's military achievements have not been much. You will be jealous when you see others get benefits. You should know the importance of strict military rules and regulations!"
"After you go back, you will punish yourself twenty whips in front of everyone, and all the soldiers will whip ten. All the soldiers who lead the trouble will be branded and returned home without any need. We can allow dissatisfied voices in the army, but we will definitely not allow soldiers to raise their swords to cause trouble!"
Dong Hu kicked Xu Chu lightly again.
"Get up."
Dian Wei, Xu Chu stood up silently, while Dong Hu walked to Dong Gu and sat down, sighing.
"The Third Cavalry Battalion will take charge of the military law later. During this period, you will be the one who supervises the military rules and regulations of the Qingzhou Camp."
Dong Gu was about to get up and agree, but Dong Hu held down his shoulder. He saw him looking at Dong Chong and Hu San again.
"The Xuzhou capital needs to be moved back to Xiapi County, where the water and soil are fertile and the population are numerous, the war potential is better than that of Tancheng, and it is more convenient to add troops to Suiling, Huaipu and Huaiyin, and leave a general in Tancheng."
"The capital needs to be moved back to Xiapi County, where a training camp should be set up as soon as possible. The battalions under Xuzhou need to take turns to train, and the control of each battalion needs to be strengthened to avoid recurrence of military turmoil."
"promise!"
Dong Chong is better. He is Dong Hu's personal army commander. Even if he is in charge of Qingzhou's army, it is only temporary. The remaining general in Xuzhou is Hu San, not him.
If we only look at Xuzhou, Tancheng is the center of Xuzhou, which can better control the four counties and states of Langya, Pengcheng, Xiapi and Guangling. However, this is only for Xuzhou to control its own territory. However, if Xuzhou places its strategy in the south of the Yangtze River, Xiapi County will become the best capital, and it can directly enter the Huai River along the Sishui River through ships, and provide reinforcements to Suiling County, where the confluence of Sishui and Huai River in the shortest time.
The Han Dynasty was filled with the meaning of "control". The northern states shifted from east to west as a whole, just like "water flows to a low place". However, this "water" refers to the number of people. Jizhou, which belongs to Hebei, has a large population, and the administrative area has crossed the Taihang Mountains and penetrated deep into the "Shanxi", and the Bingzhou area of "Shanxi" shifted westward into the "Shaanxi".
The large population and the fertile land mean that the war potential is greater. If the various roads in Taihang Mountains are in the hands of Youzhou and Jizhou, which have greater war potential, Bingzhou will naturally be easier to pacify Youji.
The northern prefectures are full of "control" meanings, and this situation also exists in Xia Pi and Guangling County in Xuzhou.
The area of Xia Pi Kingdom is like an inverted "concave" shape, while Guangling County is like a "convex" shape. The two counties are just connected together. Huailing, Xutai, Gaoshan and Huaiyin counties south of the Huai River belong to Xia Pi Kingdom, while Qing County north of the Huai River belongs to Guangling County.
There are four counties south of the Huai River belong to Xia Pi Kingdom, and one county north of the city belongs to Guangling County. You have me and I have you. It is not easy for either side to rebel. After all, one foot of the other side has crossed the Huai River and stretched one foot into their hearts.
Xia Pi State and Guangling County control each other. Yuzhou Runan County and Yangzhou Jiujiang County also have territory on both sides of the Huai River. Both sides have territory on both sides of the Huai River, which means that both sides have their own ferries and ships. It is difficult for either side to dominate the Huai River, but this is only for Xia Pi State and Guangling County.
Yuan Shu got involved, and there were more ships in Runan County and Jiujiang County. Hundreds of large and small ships entered the eastern section of the Huai River from west to east. In a short time, they firmly controlled the entire Huai River. They completely surrendered to Yuan Shu to the south of the Huai River, and to the north of the Huai River, it became the lateral land of Xiliang Dama...
The Yuan family is very famous. There was an accident in Xuzhou. The Malaysians in Liangzhou swept almost everything. People in the north and south of Huaihe were in panic. Under this situation, Yuan Shu sent troops to reinforce, and it was normal for Guangling County to surrender. As for Lu Bu... Lu Bu had no connections in Guangling County, and he had not yet gained a foothold, so he could only bow to Yuan Shu and was appointed as the prefect of Guangling County by Yuan Shu. Liu Bei, Chen Deng, Mi Zhu and others who fled in were thrown aside and ignored him.
