Merchants in this era must have the support of powerful forces. When Dong Hu was still a young man of ten years old, he brought a group of brothers to be salt hunchs, just because he was born faster to develop, and he was big and round, and it was difficult for him to be regarded as a big baby. Nothing important is that he also has the support of the Dong family in Lintao behind him. Moreover, Dong Zhuo has a high prestige among the Qiang people, which is the main reason why a group of salt hunchs are willing to take him to mess with him.

However, after the rebellion in Liangzhou, the salt road in Qinghai was completely cut off, and the salt camels had to turn around to Sichuan and Sichuan to sell salt. As for why they didn’t trade salt in Hedong... If they really had the strength to divide the salt in Hedong, the genius would be willing to go to Qinghai!

Those who can trade salt in Qinghai are hung on their belts. These merchants are not afraid of danger. But they cannot resist the political turmoil caused by the eunuch party, and they cannot withstand countless greed for wealth. In ten years, countless wealthy merchants and wealthy merchants in the Sanfu of Chang'an fell, either in the hands of corrupt officials of the eunuch party, or under the plunder of Niu Fu. The most serious thing is that after Emperor Ling Liu Hongde passed away, the Qingliu scholars made a large-scale liquidation of the eunuch party. Under such turmoil, whether it is the eunuch party or not, the princes from all sides have set their attention on the merchants without exception.

With strong support, merchants can barely survive the turmoil of the situation, and cannot find it... they are even assigned to the eunuch party, which means that their family will be destroyed!

After Dong Hu entered Chang'an County, according to his current strength, he should have come to seek shelter from the door, but in fact there were few people. The people who found the door were all unfamiliar. They were the remaining women and children of the past partners. It was impossible to use the past network of relationships.

Ten years of turmoil have changed things. Xu Huang, Dong Sijie, and Dong Siyi have never participated in Dong Hu's salt trading, so they don't know Zhao Yi. When Dong Xiaoyi met an acquaintance, he wanted to make fun of him, but seeing Mr. Zhao picking at the miserable moment, the teasing became full of sighs.

"Brother Zhao, you..."

"well……"

Dong Xiaoyi pulled Zhao Yi's arm and called a group of ragged women and children into the government office. After a few simple words, the crowd realized that Zhao Yi was actually related to Su Gu, the prefect of Hanzhong County, and the atmosphere was a little strange.

“Haha…”

"Old Zhao, please don't cry badly. We were thinking about meeting an old friend in a foreign land? I didn't expect that you, the old bastard, would still help Su Gu to fight against your elder brother!"

"snort!"

"As the eldest brother said, there must be something hateful about poor people!"

Dong Xiaoyi looked unhappy. They had already forced Han Sui and Ma Teng to a desperate situation. Even if Su Gu was unable to stop Han Sui, Ma Teng would escape into Hanzhong County and defend Nanzheng County to the death, right? As long as he guarded the solid city wall, Xu Huang could lead his troops to follow and kill Han Sui and Ma Teng and his men that day, but Su Gu just surrendered a group of rebels. Dong Buyicon could only stop at Wudu County.

Dong Xiaoyi was angry and displeased. Zhao Yi lamented in his heart that although he was a little stingy, he was neither stupid nor stupid. He could see Dong Buyi Cong's strength. Instead of offending a powerful neighbor, he would rather his uncle Zhao Song advise Su Gu to kill Han Sui, Ma Teng and others. But... But because of Dong Buyi Cong's strength, Su Gu panicked and surrendered a group of Liangzhou thieves. But who would have thought that Han Sui colluded with the Wu Dou Mi Cult inside and outside...

"snort!"

Dong Xiaoyi looked at Zhao Yi with a cold face.

"Zhao Laoxiao, do you know which kind of person the eldest brother and brothers are most annoying?"

"I'm most tired of you guys--"

...

"snort!"

"You know that Han Sui has rebelled repeatedly, but he still tries to surrender! You deserve it if you die!"

"snort!"

Dong Xiaoyi walked into the hall with a big stride. Xu Huang, Dong Sijie, Dong Siyi looked at the old man with his body, then glanced at the ragged women and children, and walked into the hall silently.

Seeing a group of generals entering the hall, the women and children were at a loss, and they all looked at the arched old man...

"You...you are waiting outside."

Zhao Yi gritted his teeth. At this moment, he could not have any way out. He could only grit his teeth and arched into the hall. He didn't even dare to look at Dong Xiaoyi on the main seat, and walked forward and knelt silently on the ground.

"The villain... the villain dares not tell the right and wrong of his uncle. The villain came this time... he wanted to serve the country..."

"Salary for the country?"

Dong Xiaoyi once again looked at Zhao Yizai in ragged clothes carefully, got up and walked closer.

"Old Zhao Zhao, you won't want to tell us... you can take down Chenggu, Xicheng, Xianxian, Shangyong, Fangling, right?"

"Mianyang, Baozhong, Nanzheng has been captured by our army. Can Chenggu County use anyone to persuade him to surrender?"

"If you don't say that your uncle is Zhao Song, the chief clerk of Hanzhong County, we might think that you can call him Kaixicheng, Xianxian, Shangyong and Fangling County, but the Five Doks of Rice Sect will kill Su Gu and Zhao Song!"

"Even if you really have the ability to open the four counties' gates, we will never let you go. Do you know why?"

Gu Qian

Dong Xiaoyi squatted down and stared at the confusion in the old man's eyes...

"Because most of the Five Dogs of Rice Sect are poor people, because Banhua believes in the Five Dogs of Rice Ghost Witch!"

"Zhao Laoxiao, you are a smart person. Do you understand what Xiao Yi means?"

Dong Xiaoyi stood up disdainfully. Mianyang, Baozhong, Nanzheng and Chenggu were all on the Hanzhong Valley Plain. The four cities were very close to each other. The remaining three cities fell, and the remaining cities could only open the city gate honestly. The four cities of Xicheng, Xianxian, Shangyong and Fangling were located east of the Hanzhong Valley. You can follow these four cities to enter the Jingxiang area. However, the roads of these four cities are rugged and difficult to walk, and are far from the Hanzhong Valley, so it is difficult to manage.

Dong Hu's purpose was not to attack from Hanzhong County into Jingxiang, nor to attack Shu County, but to block Han Sui, Ma Teng and others from coveting the Guanzhong Plain.

If you use the least number of troops to stabilize the defense line, you cannot make yourself full of enemies. Banyan Man, who rebels many times, is a group of people that Dong Hu wants to win over.

Banyan Man was a Ba people and a Tujia family in later generations. Because they liked to use wooden boards as shields, they were called Banyan Man. Not only did they have great privileges in the Qin and Han dynasties, but they had considerable privileges throughout the dynasties. During the Qin Dynasty, a household of Banyan Man did not collect taxes if it did not exceed one hectare of land. In the Han Dynasty, they could use cloth to replace taxes, and later, they formed chieftains.

Banfengman lives in the deep mountains and forests, living a life of hunting or half-farming and half-hunting. He is not only brave and good at shooting, but also good at fighting in the mountains. Dong Hu knew very well how difficult the Sichuan people were. If they gained their recognition, taking down the entire Sichuan and Shu can be said to be like taking out a bag. But if it is not recognized, even if hundreds of thousands of people are killed or injured, it may not be possible to take down the entire Sichuan and Shu for decades. So he did not think about using the strength against the Sichuan people at the beginning.

The valley of Hanzhong is flat, suitable for Dongbuyi to join the army to fight. Mianyang, Baozhong, Nanzheng, and Chenggu must be held in his hands. As for other counties... If Banyan Man is willing to surrender, he will dare to create a turf in advance!

Xicheng, Xianxian, Shangyong and Fangling are all in the mountains. Less land means that there is no way to station too many soldiers to defend. If the troops are insufficient, once there is a conflict with Banyan Man, they will either be broken because of the few soldiers, or the labor force will be on an expedition to rescue. They must also face the cold arrows shot by Banyan Man along the way, and the siege that suddenly drills out is a great loss, especially when their own troops are insufficient.

When issuing military orders with the four beloved generals, Dong Hu told them these things in detail, only focusing on defense and releasing some kindness to Banhuaman at appropriate times, but it is not advisable to be too close to the local rich people of Hanzhong County.

Thinking about the words on the elder brother's letter, looking at the old acquaintance kneeling on the ground...

"Due to the past relationship, if you want to continue to stay in Nanzheng, we welcome you! Whether you are farming or continuing to sell salt, as long as you abide by the rules of your elder brother, no one dares to do anything about you. As for anything else... don't think about it!"

As Dong Xiaoyi said, Zhao Laoxiao really wanted to recommend himself to Chenggu, and persuade Chenggu to open the city to surrender in the name of the Zhao family, so as to gain the recognition of Dongbuyicon, and at least he had to take back the Zhao family's land in Nanzheng. As long as the land was still there, the Zhao family would have the opportunity to rise again.

Thinking of the current dilemma of the family, Zhao Yi bowed heavily and said, "General, benevolence, the common people... the common people dare not ask too much, beg the general to allow the common people to cultivate the Zhao family's fields?"

Dong Xiaoyi frowned and said, "Planting the Zhao family's fields? Zhao Laozi, do you know what happened in Liangzhou?"

Zhao Yifudi said, "The little people know that according to the rules of the Tiger Boy King, the rent must not exceed 30% and the land must not be deliberately desolate... The little people... The little people only take two hectares of land from their homes to cultivate."

Dong Xiaoyi looked at Xu Huang, Xu Huang smiled and nodded, then stood up and pulled Zhao Yi up.

"Old brother, don't blame us too much. If it weren't for the prefect Su's urge to persuade Han Sui and Ma Teng, our army would have killed him long ago, and we wouldn't have lost so many troops."

As he said that, Xu Huang looked at Dong Xiaoyi again.

"General, don't be upset. After all, it's an old friend. Besides, Brother Zhao is no wonder. It's all caused by the confusion of Prefect Su."

Dong Xiaoyi glared at Zhao Yi fiercely, looked at Xu Huang and smiled bitterly.

"Zhao Laozi is the most stingy and sloppy among all the salt hunchs. But no matter how much I say, I have sold salt together, right? We originally wanted to invite him to drink together, but he told us..."

"Forget..."

"It's better not to mention the past."

Dong Xiaoyi felt anger that was difficult to vent, and he suddenly lost five or six thousand soldiers. Dong Siyi almost died on the battlefield. When he joined forces with Dong Siyi, Zhang Lu, Han Sui and Ma Teng had already escaped south. Not only did he lead thousands of remnants to escape, but even the people in the city took away cleanly, and even the fire burned most of the entire city...

He was obviously very angry and wanted to chase him along the way, but reason told him not to do this. Yizhou was covered with mountains and mountains, dangerous passes everywhere, and there were places where ambushings could be set up everywhere. Once he followed and chased him, no one could guarantee whether Zhang Lu would set up ambush along the way.
