During the reign of Emperor Guangwu of Han, the emperor wanted to remeasure the land and increase tax revenue, but was boycotted by all the wealthy families. In the end, it was left unresolved. If he could not open the source, he could only save money and reduce the reduction of officials. Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu merged Shaofu, the Grand Minister of the Ministry of Persons, and the Shuiheng Duwei, and thus abolished dozens of officials. However, the emperor also lost the financial income of Shaofu, which originally belonged to the royal family.

When Emperor Ming of Han and Emperor Zhang were in the reign of Emperor Zhang, the emperor wanted to take back the salt and iron monopoly from the wealthy families, but they all failed. When Emperor An of Han, the empire's finances were completely collapsed and he could only rely on selling officials to maintain the empire's expenditure.

After the merger of Shaofu, Grand Secretary Governor, and Shuiheng Duwei, the fiscal revenue that originally belonged to the royal family was included in the Grand Secretary Governor controlled by the outer court. Emperor Guang of Han had a good idea. The country had just experienced the usurpation of the Han Dynasty and the court was poor, and the income of the royal family's mountains, rivers and rivers was merged into the national finances, striving to maintain national stability.

The key is that after the property that should have been the royal family was incorporated into the national finances and was dominated by civil and military officials in the foreign court, these wealth were quickly swallowed up by the wealthy families. In addition, the Han Dynasty frequently had to live a complete collapse of foreign wars. During the reign of Emperor An of Han, he had to live by selling official positions. Emperor Liu Hong became even more unscrupulous in selling official positions, and even the three dukes dared to sell them.

Whether it is because of one's own greed or the collapse of the empire's finances, unscrupulous selling of officials is a way to quench thirst, which will further aggravate countless people's desire to devour the wealth of the lower class. The Han Dynasty is also gradually sliding into a bottomless abyss...

Everyone scolded the eunuchs for their greed, but the treasury was empty. The soldiers who were damaged in Meiyang camp have not yet been recruited to supplement them. How can they recruit soldiers to attack the Xianbei?

The emperor asked, Situ Xuxiang, Sikong Ding Gong, Siong Cao Song, Taiwei Cui Lie, and General He Jin... After looking at each other, Qi Qi smiled bitterly. The little bastard was used to sneak attacking others' empty nests. First, he sneaked into Yan Xing's rear baggage camp under Didao City, and then sneaked into the empty Hehuang Valley. Then he used the "butt" of the court to force Qiang Qu Shanyu not to move around, and sneaked into the three Hetao counties that were going out to graz, and then lay in Beidi County, watching the rebel Qiang people in Liangzhou. Although the fool did not attack in the end, everyone knew that the boy was lying in Beidi County waiting for the opportunity to sneak attack.

If that boy lay in Beidi County, what happened to the five thousand young cavalry that suddenly broke out from Lintao? If it weren't for Zhang Wen's army's defeat, if Dong Zhuo was trapped in Wangyuan, the five thousand cavalry had to force the thieves back, who would have known that the boy had hidden five thousand soldiers in Ganlang Valley? If he didn't want to attack, why would he have hidden so many soldiers there?

If these are not counting, what is Dong Hu killing the Huns in one fell swoop while the Huns rebelled and when the Huns were exhausted from fighting?

Everyone knows that Dong Hu likes to sneak attack others' empty nests, just like this time the Xianbei people wanted to go south to attack Youzhou, and the Hun boy gathered another 60,000 troops. Needless to say, he must attack the empty Danhan Mountain again!

Emperor Liu Hong was furious. The Xianbei people and the Han Dynasty fought to death. However, the little bastard made a fortune behind his back, but he still did not make a fortune in the silent voice that he had won!

"Dear friends!"

"That little bastard must have taken advantage of the emptiness of the Xianbei people and attacked the Danhan Mountain. If the Xianbei people are killed by the little bastard again, what will happen to him in the future? Who can control him?"

Seeing that the ministers did not speak, Emperor Liu Hong became a little angry and asked again annoyed.

A group of ministers smiled bitterly, the emperor's words were good, the key was... If the little bastard did not rush to the Hanshan Mountain, the Xianbei people who went south to invade Youzhou would not withdraw their troops. Who can guarantee that the Xianbei people would not continue to go south to invade Jizhou after invading Youzhou? One hundred thousand Xianbeis rage on the Hebei Plain, and no one can determine how much disaster it would cause.

Seeing that no one spoke up...

"He Jin, you talk first!"

He Jin felt bitter in his heart. He learned the news from Xu Xiang in advance. The big guys had already discussed it in private, but...

"His Majesty……"

He Jin walked forward helplessly. Seeing his bitter face, Liu Hong felt angry and pointed at the Taiwei Cui Lie in the crowd.

"Cui Lie!"

The emperor was really angry and didn't even want to say the word "Love Queen". Cui Lie was also helpless and walked out with a tablet in his arms.

"If Your Majesty did not recognize Dong Duwei as the Qiang King of Hehuang State, after this battle, the court could still allow him to enter the court as an official, but now..."

The ministers suddenly felt bitter about shooting their feet. After admitting that after the "Qiang King" who was equivalent to the Xiongnu Khan and the Xianbei Khan, Dong Hu was no longer a general of the court. Even if he had a million troops, the court could not control it in terms of theory and law.

If the Han Dynasty was in its prime, even if it was not in charge, it would be in charge. If the little bastard was not convinced, he would be in charge. The key is that the Han Dynasty could not fight the war now.

Cui Lie sighed and said, "Emperor Dong Du was too cunning. If he had said "King of Qiang" that day, the court would never have let him lead 200,000 to 300,000 criminals to Bingzhou for farming. But now... unless His Majesty recruited 200,000 elite soldiers to conquer the country."

Emperor Liu Hong opened his mouth repeatedly. As Cui Lie said, if the little bastard said "King of Qiang" that day, he would never let the little bastard get 200,000 to 300,000 people, but now... it would be too late to regret it, and the little bastard became a big deal.

Cui Lie said seriously again: "Although Dong Duwei said some bastards, the old minister thought that Dong Duwei had no idea of ​​rebellion, and there was indeed no sign of rebellion that what he did."

"When Dong Duwei led his troops to the Central Plains to quell the rebellion, he was a little violent in Yingchuan County, but he recruited 50,000 soldiers for the country and tens of thousands of troops for a year. When the remnants of Yellow Turbans occupied the mountains and plundered counties in various places, there was no robbery in Yuzhou. It was because Dong Duwei cleaned up the bandits in Yuzhou and gave the people the opportunity to harvest grain and cultivate, so that there was no hungry people in Yuzhou. Moreover... Dong Duwei recruited soldiers in Yingchuan County. After the money and grain, he gave up his soldiers and resigned from all his official positions."

"When Dong Duwei came, except for the 5,000 Lintao baggage and people strong, most of the rest were Qiang people. They were all Qiang people captured by Dong Duwei when he pacified Beigong Boyu and burned the old king, Han Sui and others to rebel. When he was under Guangzong's city that day, if it were not for the force of the magistrate of the Wuhuan School Commander, Dong Duwei would not have said such ruthless words."

"The Qiang people are easy to be confused and rebellious. The 200,000 to 300,000 people led by Dong Duwei were also captured rebel thieves. They are all easy to be confused and rebellious. Such soldiers are indeed not suitable for the court to force them too much and anger them."

After Cui Lie said these words, many ministers could not help but nodded silently. No matter how prestige the generals in command had, if all the soldiers below were dissatisfied and angry, there was no way to stop them. It would be extremely stupid to anger the soldiers who were prone to rebel.

"When Your Majesty forced Dong Duwei to lead troops north, Dong Duwei still led 200,000 to 300,000 people in Dongyue to go north. The old minister heard that there were tens of thousands of people who died of freezing to death. If Dong Duwei really wanted to rebel, the old minister thought that judging from Dong Duwei's war in recent years, 200,000 to 300,000 were enough to seize Taiyuan County. Dong Duwei would definitely not be worse than Zhang Yan. When the Qiang people in the nine counties of Liangzhou rebelled, it was difficult for the court to recruit troops to clear them."

Not only the court officials nodded, but even the emperor Liu Hong also knew that Cui Lie's words were correct. The Heishan Army occupied the Taihang Mountains and plundered the surrounding counties. Didn't the court still recognize its existence? Didn't it give Zhang Yan a general to fight the trouble? That boy captured 200,000 to 300,000 Yellow Turban Thieves, which would be worse than Zhang Yan, the Heishan Army?

Emperor Liu Hong opened his mouth several times, but he was depressed but couldn't say anything.

"After entering Yanmen County, Dong Duwei said the words of 'Qiang King of Liangzhou' in front of the Xiongnu, Your Majesty also knew the character of the Qiang people in the counties of Liangzhou. It was impossible for the Qiang people to rebel in the counties to recognize Dong Duwei as the Qiang people. In front of the Huns, this statement was nothing more than to deter Qiang Que from rescue the Huns who occupied the three counties of Hetao. Because of the frightening Qiang Que, Dong Duwei also successfully captured the three counties of Hetao and went with the prefect Cai to invade 5,000 soldiers and soldiers. In addition, Dong Duwei was still hiding 5,000 soldiers in Ganlang Valley, south of Lintao. If Dong Zhonglang had not been trapped in Wangyuan, others would not know that there were such soldiers and horses hidden in Ganlang Valley."

"Emperor Dong Dushi is in Beidi County, and tens of thousands of soldiers gathered in Ganlang Valley. Even if the old minister doesn't say anything, Your Majesty knows what Dong Dushi wants."

Cui Lie continued: "If Qiang Qu Shanyu had not asked the court to marry the princess of Jin and killed Dong Buyi Cong Gonggong Gao, Dong Duwei would not have been angry to seize the Meiji Shanyu court in one fell swoop during the civil strife of the Xiongnu."

"Although it is suspected of being a difficult task to seize the Meiji Shanyu Court, it is also possible to eliminate a hidden danger for the country. Moreover, Dong Duwei has submitted a report to the court and forced the princess of Jin as her youngest girl, and resigned from the name of "Jin State" for the princess."

"Even if the Huns are angry, they will only anger Dong Duwei, and they will not be angry that the court will not return the princess."

Cui Lie clasped his fists and said, "Dong Duwei said that he was the King of Qiang in the Plateau and Qiang in Hehuang. If he really had the idea of ​​rebellion, or had the idea of ​​taking Bingzhou for himself, when he captured the princess of Jin, he thought that he would not recognize the princess as his young sister, and he should not remove the princess from the name of "Jin State" and should be owned, just as Dong Duwei and Eunuch Guo said when he was angry, even if the Huns did not occupy Bingzhou today, who dared to say that they would not not in the future? Who dared to say that their descendants would not occupy Bingzhou?"

"At this time, the Xianbei gathered 100,000 string control soldiers, and only 30,000 Kui leader confronted Hua Xiong, the general under Dong Duwei. According to Eunuch Guo, Hua Xiong had 5,000 elite cavalry and 20,000 infantrymen. General Liu Qi of Wuyuan led another 5,000 elite cavalry to station in Yunzhong Pass, and reinforced Hua Xiong at any time. This would be 30,000 against 30,000."

"Last winter, Xianbei Budugen led 5,000 elite cavalry into Yunzhong County, and only one or two fled back. After that, Hua Xiong also personally led 5,000 cavalry and stormed the Xianbei 100,000 cattle and sheep, and with Hua Xiong's bravery, 30,000 against 30,000, Hua Xiong would have severely damaged the Kuitou even if he couldn't win."

"The Kuitou is a great knight in the Danshan Mountain. Since Tan Shihuai's death, all the Xianbei tribes have not followed the orders. Ruokuitou's 30,000 tribes suffered heavy damage, and all the tribes have not followed the orders. Therefore... In my opinion, although Kuitou gathered 30,000 troops, he would not easily fight against Hua Xiong. Therefore... Dong Duwei did not need to personally lead 30,000 cavalry from Pingcheng, and 10,000 infans headed north. There was no need to completely anger all the Xianbei people."

When Cui Lie said this, many people in the crowd frowned, and Cao Cao, who became a counselor, suddenly stepped forward and clasped his fists to Cui Lie.

"The lower officials are a little confused. As Cui Taiwei said, Hua Xiong had 30,000 soldiers. Judging from the battle with the Xianbei people last year, Hua Xiong's 30,000 soldiers were defeated, which was enough to severely damage the 30,000 Xianbei people. Kuitou would not easily lose his combat power."
