Chapter 447 Reaching out for money and capturing soldiers [Chapter 3]
Niu Fu came to see him, Dong Hu drove all the generals out, and only two people were left in the tent to sit and drink, after three or two glasses...
“The state is hard…”
Niu Fu put down the wine cup and said with a sad look on his face: "Huwa, you saw your father-in-law's letter. How do you want to deal with the soldiers of Meiyang Camp?"
Dong Hu took out Dong Zhuo's letter from his arms, shook it in front of Niu Fu twice, and said with a smile: "Didn't my uncle say that the land in Guanzhong is mainly based on you, and our tiger kids are auxiliary. If you want these soldiers, just take them away."
Niu Fu was stunned. He didn't expect Dong Hu to say such words. After a while, he looked disbelief: "Huwa, you... the soldiers who are willing to let go?"
“Let go?”
Dong Hu said undeniably: "We wish we could throw all 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers to you! We saved them all day long to ask for money and food."
Listening to him saying the word "money and grain", Niu Fu, who had been a Jingzhao Yin for several years, knew very well how big the appetite of 50,000 or 60,000 Han soldiers was, and hesitated...
"Niu Fu! Don't think about being scheming with us. If you want 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers outside the camp, you can take them away! But don't want us to take out money and food to support them!"
"Tiger baby, you..."
"Stop it! Don't tell us the difficulties of the court, say you have no money or food, these nonsense have nothing to do with us!"
Dong Hu was not afraid of Niu Fu at all, nor did he want to chat with him. Just what this guy did after Dong Zhuo died, so don’t want him to look up to him.
"Open the window and speak loudly. My uncle has replaced the position of General He Jin after he did Yi Yin and Huo Guang's decentralization. You and I are both from Liangzhou. We should support my uncle, so we are definitely not ambiguity!"
"But you have to remember one thing!"
Dong Hu pointed at Niu Fu with a serious expression.
"You Niu Fu!"
"Our tiger baby!"
"You and I are one, both of them are members of the Liangzhou Army! Do you understand what our words mean?"
Niu Fu frowned, and hesitated, "What Huwa said is, because you and I are one, we have to work together in times of difficulty, but you..."
"What's wrong with us-"
Dong Hu stood up suddenly when he was unhappy, and Niu Fu was so scared that he stood up in a hurry...
"snort!"
"Working together... Didn't we let Li Jue lead 20,000 elite cavalry to Luoyang day and night?"
Niu Fu was speechless and opened his mouth to argue, but he didn't know how to speak.
Dong Buyi has been an independent existence since the beginning. The court could not intervene, and Dong Zhuo was also unable to intervene. Li Jue and Guo Si led 20,000 cavalry to Luoyang, and the most he obtained was the command and combat power. The military power was still in the hands of Dong Fu, Dong Fang, Dong Gu and Zhang Liao. However, tens of thousands of Han soldiers who disrupted and reorganized outside the camp were different. These soldiers and horses were all Dong Zhuo and Niu Fu had been operating for several years. The two were different in terms of "military power".
The reorganization was disrupted and thousands of officers at all levels were obviously meant to turn tens of thousands of Han soldiers into another Dongbu Yicong, and Niu Fu couldn't tell it clearly.
Just as Niu Fu was worried and hesitating whether he had a clear attitude, Dong Hu spoke up with a cold face.
"You and I are one, whether it is the Han soldiers of Meiyang or Dongbuyi Cong, for my uncle, the 200,000 to 300,000 soldiers and horses are all under my uncle's name... Do you understand what a disaster caused Xiao Wall?"
"If you want the troops, you can take them away now. As for how to support them... that is your business, it is also the business of the Han Dynasty, not ours!"
"Do you understand?"
...
Niu Fu did not dare to force Dong Hu, so he took out a letter from his arms. Dong Hu frowned and then took it from him.
"Father-in-law's letter."
The letter was written by Dong Zhuo to Niu Fu, asking him to lead Meiyang troops to Luoyang immediately, and asked Dong Hu to take out another 500 million yuan of words. Dong Hu felt unhappy and directly took the letter into Niu Fu's arms.
"The troops have just been broken up and reorganized, so it is not appropriate to be transferred now, but my uncle has been transferred, so you can take it away at any time, but if we ask us to continue to get the money..."
"We have no money!"
"No... Luoyang has many wealthy families! Which family of the three ministers and court officials does not have tens of thousands of dollars? There are also many wealthy families in the three servants in Chang'an. If you don't ask for money and grain from outsiders, why do you always ask for it? Liangzhou has just been pacified, and we haven't wiped all our shit yet, where can we still have money and grain?"
Dong Hu was angry. Didn’t he say that Dong Zhuo was cruel? Did he destroy more than a thousand wealthy families in Luoyang alone? Didn’t he have no money to poach other people’s graves? He became the imperial magistrate, why did he ask for money? If he really had countless copper sluts, would he still use to issue paper money? Isn’t it smell good to send copper sluts directly?
"Is it you?"
Dong Hu pointed at Niu Fu with one hand, looking angry and threatening.
"It must be your bewitching uncle who asked us for money!"
Gluten
When Dong Hu pointed at his nose, Niu Fu did not dare to be angry. He knew very well that the boy really dared to beat someone with his fist.
"Huwa, how can we bewitch our father-in-law all the time in Chang'an County? My father-in-law just became the Grand Marshal, and the treasury inside and outside is empty. It would be fine if the officials had no money and food, but the soldiers could not have no money and food. There would be a big deal!"
Dong Hu knew that Niu Fu's words made some sense. He just as he ascended the throne of power, he needed civil and military officials and major families to recognize them, and Dong Zhuo could not do anything too much unless Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others began to rebel. Dong Zhuo found that the major families could not pee in the same pot with him, so he would destroy a thousand wealthy families without hesitation.
As a general in command, Dong Hu knew better than anyone else what dangers would be if the soldiers had cut off their food, but this was not an excuse for asking for money and food every time.
...
"We don't have 500 million yuan, we can take out up to 300 million yuan, but! If we want us to take out this money, the Meiyang Han soldiers must be in our name!"
"Huwa, aren't you doing this too much?"
"It's too much? Niu Fu, you just fuckingly say that our Huwa is fighting against his uncle!"
"you……"
Niu Fu suddenly stood up, but Dong Hu looked at him coldly.
"You should be very clear that the current Meiyang Han soldiers are just a group of **! We are now disrupting and reorganizing the soldiers, and we will draw generals into it. It seems that we have controlled the Meiyang Han soldiers, but we can also lower the appetite of the soldiers and not drag all of you to death!"
"snort!"
"Niu Fu! Listen to me. If you take away 50,000 Han soldiers in Meiyang Camp today, we won't say a word. We will withdraw all the generals at all levels who are charged into Meiyang Camp, but we can also guarantee that you will die at the hands of these Han soldiers, and you will die at the hands of these soldiers!"
Faced with Dong Hu's threat, Niu Fu calmed down instead...
"Huwa, you are right. You and I are one. One prosper and one prosper and one loses. My father-in-law just became the Grand Marshal. It is extremely stupid for you and me to be enemies with each other. But you should also know that my father-in-law urgently needs troops to stabilize the court..."
"Did our Huwa say that he doesn't support his uncle?"
Dong Hu looked at Niu Fu coldly.
"My uncle first arrived in Luoyang, and there were only so many people available. The eldest son must go to help his uncle. Meiyang Camp is under our name, and the eldest son can be mobilized."
"As for the specific matters, we have already written to my uncle and explained it clearly. The specific choice is all up to my uncle! It's not you... it's not something we can decide!"
Niu Fu took a deep breath suddenly, and although he was a little angry, he still nodded silently.
"As you say!"
After Niu Fu said that, he was unwilling to continue speaking and got up and left. Dong Hu sent Niu Fu, who had a cold face, out of the camp, then returned to the central army tent and read it repeatedly with the letter several times.
The content of the letter is not complicated, mainly the matter of the Meiyang Han Bing. In addition to these, there are some personnel arrangements, so he didn't care too much about this.
Not long after Niu Fu left, Dong Chong, Sun Niu, Pang De and Dong Jian came over. After the four of them read the letter...
"Lord, we are already soldiers from the court, why do we still ask us to pay for the soldiers?"
"We Hei Niu don't accept it!"
When Sun Niu saw "five thousand million yuan", he immediately disliked it, and Dong Chong and others also had a cold face.
"So what if you don't accept it...what can you agree? Where can the imperial court still have money, food, and soldiers now?"
Seeing that others didn't speak, Pang De sighed: "The Han soldiers in Meiyang have become beggars. The court must have lost money and food, but what should we do now? We have just rectified the Han soldiers in Meiyang. If we go to Luoyang..."
Dong Hu frowned for a long time...
"Hei Niu, I'll give you three days to prepare. You will lead the troops and the Luoyang camp to Luoyang and be directly led by the eldest son."
Dong Chong hesitated and said, "Brother, should you slow down for the time being?"
Dong Hu shook his head and said, "We don't have time to hesitate. If our uncle does not abolish the emperor and establish the emperor, the prefect may not have oppose our uncle. But his uncle gave them the biggest excuse and will definitely rebel in the next year... because... once they do not rebel, it means that they have agreed to what their uncle did and the fact that Liu Xie ascended the throne. Once more than a year and a half, they will rebel on the grounds of abolishing the emperor and establishing the emperor, and justice will be questioned by the world. They are the thieves in the eyes of the world!"
Look at the brothers one by one...
"My uncle is just the son of the Dong family in Lintao in the eyes of famous families. We are all lowly people from Liangzhou, and it is impossible for famous families to look down on us."
"When Chen Fan dared to lead a group of imperial students to besiege the imperial palace, and Wang Fen, the governor of Jizhou, dared to clear the emperor, and then Ding Yuan dared to become a thief and set fire to threaten Empress Dowager He to kill the eunuch. You should know that at the moment when his uncle deposed the emperor, they dared to send troops to clear the emperor, and they dared to attack and kill Luoyang on this ground!"
Dong Hu sighed in his heart. Liangzhou had just been taken down. Not to mention supplying Luoyang's grain, it would be good if he could support himself. Yanmen County had accumulated a lot of grain. Although he had already told Yaoshan and Yao Yong to establish granaries in Jinyang, Zhaoyuze counties and Shangdang County. However, the road to transport grain from Yanmen County south is not easy to walk, and it is difficult to transport grain from Bingzhou Luoyang for thousands of miles.
Dong Zhuo did not give Dong Hu a year of rest and recuperation, even if he gave him half a year to cultivate grain for one season...
"That's it. Hei Niu, lead 30,000 troops to Luoyang first, Pang De, lead 10,000 soldiers to Hedong County to transport grain, and temporarily act as Hei Niu's baggage."
Seeing that he had made a decision, Sun Niu and Pang De no longer hesitated and agreed with his fists.
