Dong Hu is from Liangzhou and is one of the people in the border areas. He has lived in chaotic border areas since childhood. He knows more than anyone else what the people in the border areas are.

The Qiang people in Liangzhou rebelled. Could it be that more than 100,000 people were Qiang people? There are also a large number of Han people among the rebels!

In reality, whether it is Qiang or Han people, they all have the same temperament and are easily swaying in the face of interests. If they cannot satisfy the appetite of these guys, they will easily retaliate against themselves. On the contrary, the Han people in the Central Plains have much more stable temperaments, obedience and discipline.

Dong Hu was more willing to use the Han people in the Central Plains as soldiers, rather than adding too many realistic and easy to backlash people in the border areas. Whether it is Qiang, Hu or Han people, as long as they grew up in the chaotic border areas since childhood, they would easily bite themselves. For this reason, even if others persuaded him, he still stubbornly trained the second Han army cavalry. Ten thousand Han army cavalry threw them to Huaxiong, and let Huaxiong lead them to fight with the Xianbei people. The 20,000 Han army soldiers asked Dong Chong to lead them out of the frontier to practice and train them, and let the 30,000 Han army cavalry continue to be tempered in the bloody storm.

Tens of thousands of cavalry went out of the frontier, and even the slaves who were herding sheep rode horses. Even if the four cavalry generals of Dong Xiaoyi, Dong Chong, Dong Gu and Liu Qi were extremely incompetent and suffered major losses, half of the soldiers and horses who escaped should have been riding horses. If they were all riding horses, they could still lose 40,000 to 50,000 cavalry. Even if they escaped, Dong Hu would probably chop their heads angrily.

After the troops were spread out, Dong Hu would not put too much energy on them. As for the little princess... After Pingcheng sent the news, he only took a look and threw it aside and ignored it. Huangfu Song, Zhu Yan, and Lu Zhi were able to do so, but Dong Hu was the one who borrowed the food. They wanted to truly control the 30,000 Wuwan Yicong tribe, so they would not think about it. At most, they should use the little princess's "Dachang Envoy" name to command the 30,000 Wuwan Yicong tribe to fight against the Xianbei people, and this would only have more benefits for Dong Hu.

Dong Hu let the little princess Liu Yan make random messes in Gaoliu County. He just glanced at the letters sent by Zhang Liao and ignored them, and focused all his energy on smelting iron and salt drying.

The Han Dynasty had superb iron smelting techniques, and there were only various iron smelting furnaces. The furnace was just a small workshop-style furnace, not as large as a blast furnace.

After only a few days of iron making, the blast furnace had to be turned off. Dong Hu realized that he was wrong. The blast furnace is not a blast furnace, which is not very useful. No matter how much pig iron is produced in one day, there is not enough raw material ore, and there is not enough people to mine ore. No matter how good the blast furnace is, it is still a waste!

In just a few days, eleven blast furnaces consumed all the ore dug in two years. Faced with this situation, Dong Hu could only do anything and had to send five or six thousand tons of pig iron to Pingcheng for inventory.

There was not enough mining personnel, and only two years had to dig five ore of pig iron ore, but this was impossible. Dong Hu could only turn to improve the method of salt drying.

The Han Dynasty did not have the technology to dry sea salt, so it could only obtain salt by "boiling the sea" method. Later, more advanced salt drying methods were found.

The traditional method of salt drying is to create a piece of salt drying field and sprinkle seawater on the sand over and over again. In order to achieve high yield, salt farmers will use rakes to rake the upper layer of the sand with a rake just like drying wheat. The purpose is to let the sand dry faster at high temperatures, turn the sand into sand with a high salt content, and collect and pile up these sand with a high salt content...

If these sand grains with high salt content are sprinkled with sea water and filtered with straw, they will almost become saturated salt water. Whether it is placed directly in the sun or boiled with firewood, it is easy to precipitate salt, but all the water cannot be dried or cooked, otherwise the quality of the salt will be very poor, and eating this salt can also be poisoned.

Dong Hu knew some ways to dry salt, including the salt in Fengyan County (Yanchi County) 100 miles southeast of Lian County, Qingyanze, 200 miles east of Linrong, and Sanshui County between Lian County and Fuping County (Qingyang City). There is salt in these places, but Dong Hu could not go to Sanshui County to dry salt. Qingyanze is in the Kubuqi Desert, so there is no big problem to let a small amount of people dry salt. It is more difficult to dry a lot of salt, but the salt in "Yanchi County" is easy to obtain.

The little niece Dong Bai brought back a letter from Dong Mao. After reading the letter, Dong Hu knew that Liangzhou was over. As long as the Qiang people in Hanyang County rebelled again, the counties west of Longshan would no longer belong to the Han Dynasty. Liangzhou would enter the era when Ma Teng and Han Sui compete for hegemony. No one cares whether he was digging or not.

The iron ore was gone. After Dong Hu handled military affairs in Sunniu's military camp for three days, he brought thousands of people into "Yanchi County" to start drying salt. The northwest was dry and more suitable for drying salt than the beach. The method was taught and the reason was explained clearly. Even old farmers who had never done such a job could easily master it. They were nothing more than diligent. When he took his wife, children and niece to "Yanchi County" to dry salt, he didn't know that Cai Yong was very curious, but he wanted to see if Dong Hu had found a gold mine again. The old man also came over with his individual.

Dong Hu was not interested in Old Man Cai, but he became interested in the girl who followed him. It was not that he had any bad intentions, but that the girl holding Zhang Qiqin was so famous, not that she was someone else, but that Cai Yan, who was fourteen or fifteen years old.

Cai Yong's heart was getting bigger and he was very rude to the boy staring at his daughter without caring at all. Instead, he focused all his attention on the salt worker who was like drying wheat...

"Tiger baby..."

Cai Yong looked at the salt worker drying salt. He didn't understand why they poured water on the ground. He was about to ask the guy, but he saw him staring at his daughter hiding behind him with strange eyes, and finally he was a little unhappy.

"What do you want to do? I have warned you that the little girl has been betrothed to the Wei family in Hedong!"

When he saw Cai Yan, Dong Hu felt as if his heart was hit hard. It was not that he had greed or possessiveness, but that he felt the same as when he suddenly heard that his sister Liu Yue and his relatives gave Qiang Qu.

Dong Hu sighed softly, but his face was extremely solemn.

"Sir, if you really want your daughter to be good, don't push your daughter into the fire. Then Wei is not only a short-lived ghost, but Hedong County is not a paradise..."

When talking about the four words "Paradise", Dong Hu couldn't help but sigh softly. After the chaos in the world, where is the paradise again?

Cai Yong frowned and said, "You guy has something to say, but you won't have anything to hide from me, right?"

Dong Hu frowned and thought for a moment...

"Sir, do you think... the tens of thousands of Huns who escaped to Lishi are really honest?"

"That's it..."

Cai Yong didn't expect Dong Hu to say this leap, but he didn't know how to answer for a moment. Dong Hu just smiled disdainfully.

"Whether the sir believes it or not, Yu Fuluo and Hu Chuquan brothers will never be willing to do so. They will definitely attack Taiyuan County!"

Dong Hu was tall and had a beard on his face. He probably looked a little fierce and scary, which made the girl holding the guqin look a little scary, and the distance between him was a little far...

"The boy fisted in the south and the north and legs. He first hit the Meiji Xiongnu people, and then hit the Xianbei people in Danhanshan. He held 100,000 troops, Yanmen County, Hetao County, Xihe County, and Shangjun County had 500,000 citizens, which was more than the previous Huns..."

"gentlemen."

"There are only 50,000 old and weak people in the Xiongnu clan in Lishi County, and only a few thousand cavalrymen. If the sir were Yu Fuluo and Hu Chuquan brothers, would they have the courage to fight Huwa's life and death?"

Cai Yong frowned even more, and hesitated for a while...

"As you said, the Lishi Xiongnu clan is no longer able to fight, but they only have such a few troops left. How can they have the courage to fight with the Han Dynasty? How dare you invade Taiyuan County? Are you not afraid of the court's anger?"

Dong Hu nodded slightly. According to common sense, as Cai Yong said, Yu Fuluo, who was like a stray dog, had no qualifications to provoke the Han Dynasty, but what about the facts?

The fact is that under another wheel, the Yu Fuluo and Hu Chuquan brothers were even worse than the current situation, and they joined forces with Bai Bo's army to enter Jinyang.

If Dong Hu had not appeared, the swelling moth of Zhongshan Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju colluded with Qiu Li, the leader of Wuhuan in western Liaoning, to suffer disaster in Youzhou, all the elites of the Han Dynasty were in Meiyang Camp, and they could not draw out the elites to go north to Youzhou to quell the rebellion. They wanted to use the hands of the Huns to kill Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju.

Just like the "butt" problem, Zhang Xiu, the general of the Huns, lured and killed his former Shanyu at a banquet. Qiang Qu successfully became the Xiongnu Shanyu. This problem also led to the various tribes of the Huns being extremely angry. Qiang Qu colluded with the Han people to kill their Shanyu.

Qiang Qu successfully became the Xiongnu Chanyu, but his life was not easy. When he was borrowing troops in the Han Dynasty, he hesitated and sent his son Yu Fuluo and Huchuquan to the issue of "butt". He hoped to gain the support of the Han Dynasty and suppressed the tribes that were not convinced. However, Yu Fuluo and Huchuquan had just left with their troops. The right part of the Huchu tribe, Subu, and the slaughtered various white horses and Tong immediately led their troops into Danhan Mountain and directly killed Qiangqu Shanyu, Yu Fuluo and Huchuquan brothers have since led thousands of Huns to become stray dogs.

Just like Yu Fuluo, the Huchuquan brothers were extremely angry that Huangfu Song used the drunkenness to stimulate the Huns to kill Dong Hu's envoy Gao Wang, and the marriage of the "Princess of Jin", which completely angered Dong Hu and killed the Meiji Huns in one fell swoop.

If Huangfu Song hadn't run to Meiji Shanyuting and drunk, there would be no such thing as Dong Buyi's death in the throne of Gao Wang, nor a marriage, so naturally there wouldn't be an excuse for Dong Hu. Meiji Shanyuting would still exist, and all this was triggered by Huangfu Song, so the two brothers were extremely angry with Huangfu Song.

The principle is similar to these incidents. Under the other wheel, if the court did not borrow troops, it would not have been confirmed that Qiangqu colluded with Zhang Xiu to kill Huzheng Shanyu, nor would it have been completely angered by the Huns, and there would have been no subusive. The white horse and copper rebelled by 100,000 Xiongnu people, and their brothers would not have become stray dogs. The root of all this lies in the Han Dynasty. Even if only thousands of Huns followed, the two brothers joined forces with the Baibo army to capture Jinyang.
