Chapter 474 Loyalty Is My Glory
Since the beginning, Dong Hu has been yelling that he is the King of the Plateau Qiang and the King of Hehuang. He will do whatever he wants. Even if he recruits the bigger little Pang Tong, the princess Liu Yue, the little Wenji and Cai Yan, the Nvwa is the general of the commander... etc., others ignore it and are happy to see his jokes.
When he was in Beidi County and Lian County, Dong Hu had briefly recruited Cai Yan as a young follower for a few days. Today, he mentioned that although Old Man Cai was a little dissatisfied with his persecution, he did not speak clearly against his daughter's entry into the government or something.
Old Man Cai’s heart is getting older, and he has been acquainted with Hun Boy for ten years. They know each other’s temperaments quite well. The old man knows that Dong Hu will not treat his daughter, but does not have a saying “People’s words are terrifying”? It will also have some impact on his daughter’s reputation. It doesn’t matter when his daughter was young. Everyone knows that Hun Boy is close to a baby, but Cai Yan has already married into an adult?
Anyway, the old man has a big heart.
Half persuasion and forced, Dong Hu didn't marching on horseback, and he married with the old man all day long. He occasionally played chess with Liu Bian and teased Xiao Wenji. Although she had married once, in his eyes, how could she be considered an adult at the age of fifteen or sixteen?
There is a top family in Huayin County, Hongnong County, with the Yang family, known as the "Confucius of Guanzhong", and was a family of three generations and three dukes with the Yuan family. However, this family is not very interested in political struggles and prefers the academic Qingliu family. Dong Hu is very interested in such a family, but his reputation is very bad. Even though he and Cai Yong crossed Tongguan and ran to Huayin County in person, he was turned away from the Yang family in Hongnong several times. Old Man Cai was able to enter with a big broom, but he was kicked out of the ground by Old Man Yang holding a broom, but he had no way to get angry.
Old Yang Zhen is the clan brother of the Grand Marshal Yang Ci, and is the clan uncle of the current Sikong Yang Biao. He has a respectable status and a fame that others cannot reach. Even if Dong Hu is defeated, he has no choice but to say goodbye to Cai Yong and go to Hedong County. Just as he crossed the Yellow River, Sun Niu and Guo Sheng also sent the latest news from Luoyang. Dong Zhuo finally took action against the wealthy families in Luoyang City. Niu Fu, Xu Rong, Hu Zhen, and Dong Huang also led their troops to various counties in Yin, Henan. For a moment, the entire Yin in Henan was in chaos.
No matter what era it is, once the society is in turmoil and the soldiers do not have enough money and food to support them, the first one who is unlucky will be rich local rich people who have no ability to resist. Dong Zhuo, Niu Fu and others may not attack the officials in the court. As for the others... they can survive if they take out all the money and food honestly. Once they resist, there will be only one end in the end, not to mention that there is a legitimate excuse now, that is, the eunuch!
Whether it is Dong Zhuo, the prefect of Hanoi, Wang Kuang, the governor of Jizhou, and Yuan Shao, the prefect of Bohai County, they will definitely use this "reasonable" excuse to confiscate the wealth of countless wealthy families, and will definitely use this to expand their troops!
Even if some things have not happened, Dong Hu can roughly infer that unless they do not rebel, the answer has been given in "The Three Kingdoms", and it is inevitable that some wealthy families will fall first and become the support of soldiers.
Dong Hu would not have any psychological burden for such things. In fact, he was also doing such things. For example, when Dong Hou, the prefect of Hedong County entered Hedong County in August, he had already used the excuse of the Baibo army rebelling and arresting wealthy families in Hedong County, and then carried out another wave of clearing out the "eunuch party" action. Even the Wei family in Hedong also suffered major losses. If it weren't for Cai Yan's relationship, the Wei family would have been dead at this time.
The letters sent from Luoyang were thrown into the brazier at will. When he first got out of the carriage, he saw Dong Hou, who had lost a lot of weight.
"thick……"
"You've lost weight!"
Standing in front of Dong Hou and looking at his unshaven brother, Dong Hu patted his shoulder and greeted a group of generals, then he looked emotional.
"Twenty years in a blink of an eye..."
"Have you and my brothers ever thought of today's situation?"
Dong Hou thought about the scene twenty years ago, and felt dazed in front of him. He seemed to see three dolls poking their butts in the mountains and forests digging traps to catch prey, and his face was a little softer like a knife.
"If it weren't for Brother, we would have died long ago. How dare we think about what happened today?"
"It's just the beginning, and the next few decades will be the real step by step like walking on thin ice. If you are not careful, you will be in both hands and heads."
Dong Hu patted Dong Hou's shoulders twice, and the rest of the generals followed silently behind the two of them. Everyone was ten steps away, carrying a bow and a knife, a hundred dozen followers in person like a semicircle, blocking everyone from the periphery.
Dong Hou glanced at him and said solemnly: "Uncle Dashan came a letter a few days ago. Brothers want to know the eldest brother's intentions. Is it really necessary for us to follow Captain Dong?"
Dong Zhuo stayed in the position of "School Captain" for nearly twenty years. Most people in Lintao were used to calling Dong Zhuo "School Captain". The rest were the tenants affiliated with the Dong family. The former Baima Yicong's "master" title of veterans. As for other titles... they only spoke "General of the Central Army, General of the Central Army, General of the State" and so on when they were formal in public.
When Dong Hou spoke "Seiwei Dong", Dong Hu knew the feelings of the brothers in the army, but he still shook his head silently.
"My uncle is old, no matter how many years he can live, no matter who under him can inherit the power of the Liangzhou army?"
"Uncle San? Uncle San is also quite old, so these are nothing. The key is that Uncle San has always been affiliated with his uncle, he is a person of internal affairs, and has a high prestige in the army."
"The eldest son is worse than the third uncle. It is impossible to make Niu Fu, Xu Rong, Hu Zhen and Dong Huang obedient. Secondly, Niu Fu. If Niu Fu is alive, with his uncle's prestige, he can still suppress the generals below. Once his uncle is gone, Niu Fu will definitely not be able to suppress the situation."
Gu Zhu
Dong Hu said disdainfully: "If you want to control the troops and horses in the shortest time and integrate them together in the shortest time, you can only disrupt and reorganize them, and at the same time you must have considerable binding force on the generals below, and have corresponding military promotions and assessment systems. Only in this way can you firmly control the troops and horses."
"But look at the uncle's military and horse composition. First, the most elite five thousand cavalry camps were the first, followed by Luoyang camps, then the eighth camp in Xiyuan, and finally the soldiers of the twelve city gates."
"The five thousand cavalry camps and the Luoyang camps are all Han soldiers in Meiyang. These 20,000 soldiers are the soldiers with strong control of my uncle. Although the soldiers and horses of the eight camps in Xiyuan and the twelve city gates are controlled by Niu Fu and Dong Huang, and even the generals of Liangzhou were deported to command the soldiers and horses of each battalion, the root of these soldiers is the locals in Luoyang who have weak control of my uncle. If they are not disrupted and reorganized, there is no need to say much about the hidden dangers."
"There is also that when the Han soldiers in Meiyang entered Luoyang, they did not participate in the looting feast. They were dissatisfied with the Eighth Camp of Xiyuan. The twelve city gates took advantage of it. The two sides were in opposition from the beginning. Once the uncle had an accident, even if Niu Fu, Xu Rong, Hu Zhen, and Dong Huang were close to each other, they would inevitably be dissatisfied due to the opposition between the soldiers and would inevitably fight and fight each other!"
The two walked into Anyi County together, and there was no one in the street except soldiers...
"As soon as my uncle dies, the generals under my name will be in chaos. Neither the third uncle nor the eldest son can control the situation. Only we can control the situation."
"What the eldest brother said is that we are the only one who can suppress Niu Fu, Xu Rong and the others!"
"So... when we were in Luoyang, we had already made it clear to the eldest son that if my uncle had an accident, whether it was the third uncle or the eldest son, if they could not control the situation, we would become the commander of the Liangzhou Army."
When Dong Hou heard these words, he was very energetic. What he feared most was that his elder brother was too loyal to the Dong family. Seeing his expression, Dong Hu knew his intentions and knew that this was not just a person's intention, but the common intention of Dong Buyi from 200,000 brothers.
"According to our judgment, after February of the next year, my uncle will move the capital to Chang'an. Once my uncle enters Chang'an, we want Xu Huang, Sijie, Siyi and others to enter Hanzhong County."
"Once Hanzhong County is captured, our army will be in the southeast, west and northwest of Chang'an Sanfu. When my uncle is alive, we don't need to pay attention to it. We just need to use the eight passes of Luoyang to expand our territory. If my uncle has an accident, the third uncle and the eldest son cannot control the army, we will take over the three servants of Chang'an. It is basically impossible to resist the three servants of Chang'an who are besieged by us."
Dong Hu smiled and said, "As long as my uncle walks into Chang'an, Chang'an is ours. It's just one day or one day earlier, so... you and your brothers cannot regard your uncle as an enemy. Who is our enemy?"
"These are all the princes of the Central Plains!"
"There should be 30 million people north of the Yangtze River, including Youzhou, but how many people do we have to support? Even if we count the unreliable Hedong County, the Sanfu of Chang'an, the Yin of Henan, and Hongnong County, there are only 4 million!"
Dong Hou nodded silently and said, "Brother said that the people in Liangbian can believe it, but the people in other places cannot be trusted and it will take several years of governance to do so."
Dong Hu sighed: "The people in our own territory need several years of governance to return to our hearts. What about the people of the states and counties outside? How long does it take to conquer?"
"In the same situation as the Xiongnu and Xianbei people, the court does not care about us, and there is no need to stimulate the court. When we take down the Central Plains states, our territory is everywhere. Even if you and I change the dynasty, it is nothing to be a founding hero."
Dong Hou took a deep breath and Zheng Keyou.
"Let's listen to my elder brother. Whoever dares to talk nonsense or who dares to betray my elder brother, let's chop his head!"
"hehe……"
Dong Hu smiled and said, "Brothers are not stupid or stupid. I think no one will rebel, but the strength of the wealthy families is something you and I can't imagine. We are not afraid of head-on battles, but they are afraid that they will use secret tricks with us in private. So we got a Jinyiwei Nanbei and Fufu Division. After much thought, we still think that you and Chi are the most suitable to preside over the Jinyiwei secret spies. But Chi can't leave, and we want you to supervise the Nanzhenfu Division."
"The commander of the Jinyiwei is Sanya, but this is only temporary, in order to increase the authority of the Jinyiwei. The commander of the Nanzhenfu Department and the commander of the Beizhenfu Department Dong Jian are a little poor in their exploration experience. We want you to replace the commander. One or two years later, you will take over the position of commander."
"But you should also know that the Jinyiwei is a secret spy. Not only should we have to secretly detect the enemy's detective military information, but also to spy on whether our own people have rebelled. It is extremely offensive to others and is not good for your future reputation, so we are a little hesitant, and you must consider it clearly."
Dong Hou took a deep breath and held his fists solemnly.
"Loyalty is my glory!"
