Chapter 309 Dong Mao's strangeness
The woman walked very calmly. Apart from the residual nostalgia and regret in her eyes, Dong Mao was with her side and left from beginning to end, murmuring to the words that others could not hear clearly...
"The eldest son, Liu Zhoumu has been waiting outside for two quarters of an hour."
He followed Dong Yue but didn't dare to look up. He whispered to Youzhou Mu Liu Yu. Seeing that Dong Mao was still holding his already cold wife, two tears dripped from the corners of his eyes, but his face was full of smiles. He gently helped her straighten her hair on her forehead with thin fingers...
"Yi Niang, Hu Wa said... I have to drink a bowl of Mengpo soup before crossing Naihe Bridge. Don't rush to drink... Wait for my husband to find you..."
Dong Mao took out a scissor from his arms and hesitated for a long time...
"Yi Niang, go and accompany my grandmother first, don't forget... waiting for my husband in front of Naihe Bridge..."
Dong Mao put a strand of hair into his arms and lowered his body to kiss his thin wife who was so thin that he couldn't bear to look at him. It took him a long time to get out of the carriage. Not far away was Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou who had been waiting for a long time, but he did not walk towards Liu Yu at the first time, but looked at Dong Yue, who was burly.
"Dong Yue, go find some people and cremate and see off for your wife."
After saying that, Dong Mao strode towards Liu Yu who was stopped, fearing that he would start a war with just one hesitation.
Hanyang County killed officials and rebelled, and the road was cut off. It was impossible to send people safely. Unless a war was launched to fight the road, he knew that his father could not start a war for a woman, and his brother's troops were still outside the Great Wall, and the troops were too scattered, so it would take time to gather together...
Dong Mao endured the grief in his heart and came to Liu Yu to take the lead in holding his fists.
"Mrs. Liuzhou."
Liu Yu glanced at the carriage not far away and knew what was going on. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but when he thought of the Sanqianerlang who was surrounded by the enemy...
"Madam Ling..."
"Governor Dongzhou also asks to mourn..."
Liu Yu didn't know what to say, Dong Mao was silent for a while.
"Liu Zhoumu came, there must be something important, right?"
Liu Yu opened his mouth and after a while, he roughly told the story of Gongsun Zan and others being trapped in Guanzicheng.
"The thieves are in great power. Our army is trapped in Guanzi City. It is okay to hold on for a month or two, but how can the soldiers last for too long?"
Dong Mao nodded silently, but shook his head and refused.
"Since my father no longer pursues Gongsun Zan and others, Mao will not abolish the public for personal gain. It's just... Can Mao ask Lord Zhou Mu a question?"
"How are the safety of three thousand Youzhou soldiers compared to hundreds of thousands of people?"
"How are the three thousand Youzhou soldiers compared to Taiyuan County?"
...
Liu Yu, Huangfu Song, Zhu Yan and others all knew that Dong Mao went north of Henoi to Youzhou and wanted to enter Gaoliu and Pingcheng from Qiushui Valley. It was not Huangfu Song and Zhu Yan who came to meet, but Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou. The reason was that these people were not against Dong Zhuo and Dong Hu, and they had one or another grudge.
When Liu Yu heard Dong Mao speak, his heart tightened.
"Three thousand Youzhou soldiers were trapped in Guanzi City. Liuzhou Mu came to search for Mao, and he must have wanted to use the Wuwan people in Gaoliu, but once the Wuwan people there were used, what should the Xianbei people in Danhanshan be do? How can the Lord Zhoumu ensure that the Xianbei people will not attack Gaoliu? How can they ensure that they will not attack Zhu Wenze?"
Dong Mao shook his head and said, "If Huwa did not mobilize tens of thousands of cavalry into the northern grassland, it would be nothing for the Lord Zhou Mu to mobilize the Wuwan people. As long as the Lord Zhou Mu allows Huwa to mobilize troops into Dai County to defend on his behalf, but the problem is... Huwa no longer has enough troops to fill the empty Dai County..."
Liu Yu hurriedly said, "I heard from His Highness the Princess that there are now 50,000 soldiers in Pingcheng, and only 10,000 need to be drawn..."
Dong Mao frowned. He could not tell how many soldiers there were in Pingcheng now. He could only calculate based on the original figures he knew. When he heard the "50,000" number, his brows frowned slightly.
"There are 50,000 soldiers and horses in Pingcheng? This is unlikely. Judging from the forces used by Huwa last year, at least 30,000 Han soldiers and cavalry were transferred from Pingcheng to remove the soldiers that were damaged last year. At most 20,000 soldiers and horses in Pingcheng..."
Seeing that Liu Yu was about to speak, Dong Mao waved his hand to stop him and said, "If it is true that as Lord Mu of the State said, there are 50,000 troops in Pingcheng, then there is only one possibility, that is, Huwa mobilized the troops from Shuofang County to Pingcheng."
"but!"
"Huwa mobilized the troops of Shuofang County to rescue Youzhou? How could Huwa think in advance that three thousand Youzhou soldiers were surrounded in Guanzi City?"
Dong Mao shook his head and said, "If Huwa mobilizes the troops of Shuofang County, there are only two possibilities. Either launch another attack on the Xianbei people, or go south to wipe out Yu Fuluo, Hu Chuquan colludes with the rebellion of Bai Bo's army!"
Dong Mao looked solemn.
"If the Lord of the State Councilor wants to recruit Wuwan Yicong of Dai County, he must let the troops of Shuofang County recruited by Huwa from thousands of miles into Gaoliu, and he must sit down and watch the thieves rage in Taiyuan County."
"Mr. Zhou Mu really wants to do this?"
Liu Yu opened his mouth repeatedly. After a while, he clasped his fists and bowed deeply. He didn't say anything and was about to turn around and leave...
"Mr. Zhou Mu, do you really need to mobilize troops to relieve Guanzicheng?"
Before Dong Mao came, the court sent his suggestion to Youzhou. Liu Yu was not without sending envoys, but... the timing was just wrong. It was just that Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju were robbing and making money everywhere. But if Gongsun Zan killed Zhang Chun, Zhang Ju threw away his armor and ran away with his head, it would be very easy to say peace. But now, Gongsun Zan and others are trapped in Guanzi City. Even if they want to say peace, how can the Wuwan people agree?
I don’t know what Dong Mao was thinking, but suddenly spoke up.
"If Lord Mu of Ruozhou trusts him, why not let Mao go to Liaodong to try it."
Liu Yu was shocked and hurriedly said, "Mu of Dongzhou may not know that Liu had sent envoys several times before, but no one returned safely..."
Dong Mao was silent for a little and said, "Mao did not think he had to use troops. If Liuzhou's envoy was unable to persuade the thieves to retreat, it must be due to two reasons. In short, it is insufficient kindness."
Liu Yu was shocked.
"Well, I didn't show anything that satisfies them; Wei, Youzhou did not really threaten their life and death, or the Han Dynasty, who was worried and troubled internally and externally, failed to threaten their survival."
Dong Mao thought for a while and said, "Although Mao was only one person, there was Dongbu Yicong who defeated the Xiongnu and Xianbei people. Even if Qiu Liju was arrogant and arrogant, even if he did not agree to reconciliation, he would not dare to do anything. However, this was just a force to suppress people. But Lord Zhou Mu also knew that after all, the knife had no machete on their heads, and before they felt pain and fear, Mao's threat could only be considered a fear for them. Only when Youzhou showed some benefits that could satisfy them could the two sides truly reconcile."
"I wonder what kind of benefits can Youzhou pay?"
Liu Yu was silent for a long time and sighed: "How can Liu not see what His Highness the Princess did in Gaoliu County? It's just that Youzhou really doesn't have more money and food to lend it to the Wuwan people. Ruo... Ruowuwan's tribes can be loyal to the court, and Youzhou can change some salt and iron cloth with them."
Dong Mao suddenly smiled.
"If Lord Mu of the State is willing to make trouble with them, then there will be no problems. After Mao handled some miscellaneous matters, he will just go to Liaodong."
Liu Yu clasped his fists and was about to salute, while Dong Mao took a cane and moved a little apart.
"Sir, you don't need to do this. Guanzicheng thought he could stay for a few more days."
After saying that, Dong Mao just hugged him and turned around and walked towards the carriage not far away, with a little sadness on his face...
Li was seriously ill and Dong Mao was mentally prepared, but he didn't know that Dong Hu was not mentally prepared. When she brought Xiao Dong Bai back to Pingcheng in a hurry, she didn't see Dong Mao, and then took Xiao Dong Bai to Gaoliu again, but she still couldn't see anyone. Before the young master was in trouble, she took her little niece to Qiushui Valley again. Just as he was hesitating whether to follow Qiushui into Youzhou's heart, a piece of news that made him feel uneasy came, and Dong Mao had already transferred from Jixian to Liaodong...
"Brother Nanlou!"
Dong Hu hugged Nanlou's neck and shook the neck of the Karasubuki master Shanggu County.
"I think you have heard some of our tiger baby's temperament. The eldest son is our brother. We will never sit idly by and watch our brother in danger! But you Wuhuan people threatened our brother's life..."
"What's wrong?"
Su Puyan is a native of Liaodong, Qiu Liju is a native of Liaoxi, Wuyan is a native of Youbeiping, Zhang Chun is a native of Yuyang County, Nanlou is a native of Shanggu County, and Dong Hu has become an adult of various ministries of Wuhuan in Dai County, and six Wuhuan tribes in six counties, but the strengths of both sides are different.
For example, there are more than a thousand Wuwan tribes under Su Puyan's name, but there are more than nine thousand tribes under the name of Nanlou, which is held by Dong Hu. Of course, tribes are different from tribes. A powerful tribe may have thousands of tent soldiers, and the weak may only have three or two people. The children are separated, and the ones are divided will be one tribe. Even if the tribe may be only one person, and the parents may only give him a few sheep, but that is also a tribe.
But no matter what, the gap between 1,000 and 9,000 is still quite large, but when faced with Dong Hu, he could only smile bitterly. Who told him that the younger brothers under his name were raised by Dong Hu?
Nanlou knew that the guy holding his neck was fierce, and the powerful Xiongnu and Xianbei could not do anything to him. He didn't know what others thought. Anyway, he didn't dare to offend Dong Hu. After hearing what he said, he couldn't help but nod.
"The king Rende, Nanlou will never dare to be an enemy of the king!"
Dong Hu was very satisfied with Nanlou's tactfulness, patted him on the shoulder twice, and sighed: "You Wuwan people are really not having a good life. Let's herd sheep south... The Han Dynasty does not allow it! Let's sheep north... Before she can sheep north, the Xianbei people will rob you every other year! You are the ones who are unlucky first!"
"So... our Huwa is unwilling to take advantage of the situation and slaughter you Wuwan people. But... Heruo... Heruo's damn Qiu Liju hurts our brothers. What should you do? Should we bring 100,000 elite troops into Liaodong and Liaoxi? Or will we slaughter the Wuwan people in Youbeiping and Yuyang County?"
"But if we kill all those people, wouldn't it be cheaper for those damn Xianbei people? And after those damn Xianbei people occupied Yuyang County, they would have something to do with you Shanggu County..."
"I'm so worried..."
Nanlou's heart trembled. Others didn't know how fierce this guy was. How could he not know after experiencing the past? If it weren't for the four brothers Kuitou, Yu Fuluo, Putou, and Budugen running fast, the four guys would have to die in the hands of the little bastard. The 100,000-Banshenshan tribe was wiped out at one time.
When he heard that Dong Hu was about to slaughter the Wuwan people in the four counties, Nanlou spoke seriously.
"The king Rende, Nanlou is willing to go to Liaodong in person. Nanlou will protect the eldest son if he fights to the death. If any bastard dares to hurt the eldest son, I will fight with him!"
Dong Hu patted the shoulders of Nanlou several times.
"We will be relieved if you say this. No matter whether those guys rebel or not, they will follow them if they are willing to rebel, but they cannot hurt the eldest son or our brothers!"
