Chapter 621 Business and Big Crash
"Those who behead Yuan Shao, Wang Kuang and Zhu Jun will be rewarded with a hundred gold coins and will be granted the title of marquis—"
"kill--"
The war drum shook the sky, and Lu Bu, wearing iron armor, jumped off first. Countless soldiers holding swords, guns, swords and halberds roared to the sky, shouting and shouting at the sky, rushed towards the panicked soldiers, and waves of arrows were waves on their heads, like rain.
"kill--"
Lu Bu swung his halberd, and the domineering force instantly smashed several shield-raising soldiers to fly. The gap was forcibly opened. Lu Bu seemed to be venting his anger in his chest, leading the way, and rushed into the gap with one horse. There was no general under the domineering halberd technique. The shield was broken and the blood was flying horizontally. No one dared to get close to within one meter for a while. Song Xian, Wei Xu and others were afraid that he would have an accident. More than a dozen generals followed closely, and everyone rushed into the gap first, tearing the enemy's fragile defense line to pieces...
Dong Zhuo stood at the bow of the boat, and looked at Lu Bu's bravery and couldn't help but smile and nod.
"Feng Xian is brave and brave enough to be no less than the tiger baby!"
Dong Huang hurriedly said, "Fengxian has the courage to be unstoppable by thousands of men. If his uncle regards him as a general, who can resist in the world?"
Niu Fu frowned and smiled and said, "Although Fengxian is brave, if his father-in-law hadn't aroused the courage in his heart, I think we wouldn't have seen the scene like this today."
Dong Zhuo had a little more pride on his face. Among the four major generals who participated in the suppression of Zhang Jiao's rebellion, he was the only pure military general. He had never seen any rebellious general before, so he naturally knew what kind of rebellious general was.
Unlike Dong Hu who is slick, although Lu Bu is capricious, he is extremely arrogant. He can point at Dong Hu's nose and "tiger kids" and scream. A group of old people can point at Dong Hu for an hour. In the end, the muddy boy can scratch his head and smile with a calm face. If it were Lu Bu, it wouldn't work.
It’s not that Dong Zhuo didn’t want to be a hawk and was hardworking Dong Hu, but the key is that Dong Hu didn’t give him a chance, either he went far away or did things beautifully. Even if Dong Zhuo wanted to be a hawk, he wouldn’t have a chance. When he had the opportunity, the humble boy was already strong enough, and trying to be a hawk became a question of whether the humble boy was willing or not. Naturally, there was no way to be "being hawk", but Lu Bu could.
The family of three stood at the bow of the boat, and countless soldiers rushed to the ferry in small boats. Under Lu Buhan's fearlessness, countless soldiers also followed him forward bravely. The ferry was short of troops. In less than half an hour, countless soldiers began to flee...
"kill--"
Countless people shouted and chased the deserters everywhere. Dong Zhuo just jumped to the ground, and Lu Bu, covered in blood, walked up big stairs.
"The boy just captured several Hanoi generals. They said that Yuan Shao had escaped to the Ye Wang and might have run towards Shanyang and Jizhou at this time."
As he said that, with a wave of his hand, more than a dozen soldiers dragged a few generals who were so scared that they peeed their pants. When he saw this scene, Dong Zhuo instinctively displeased.
"Did Yuan Shao escape?"
“Yes…yes…”
"Drag and chop it down."
Dong Zhuo didn't even think about it, and waved his hand and more than a dozen soldiers stepped forward.
"Trial Master, please spare me... It's not that the young general is willing to oppose the grand master, it's... it's Wang Kuang's dog thief who caught the young general's family... The grand master, please spare me..."
One person screamed and cried, Dong Zhuo was stunned and pointed at the crying person.
"Who are you?"
"The young general...the young general is Li Ren. He was originally led by the infantry battalion of the fifth battalion of the Northern Army. Because he was successful in destroying the Yellow Turban thieves, he was promoted to the commander of the fifth society. However, later... Wang Kuang later captured the young general's family and said that the young general had an affair with the eunuch..."
Li Ren said the matter again, but in the end he couldn't continue.
Dong Hu has said more than once that the princes in the world are actually not much different from Dong Zhuo. Even if they become state governors, governors, prefects, and prime ministers, although they have great powers granted by the court, they have no foundation in the local area. According to convention, they can only rely on the influence of local aristocratic families to settle down and dare not take action against all major families. Of course, they can't even get much tax to support soldiers.
Under normal circumstances, the prefects of each county and state would not be able to collect tens of thousands of troops at any time. Normal taxes may not even be difficult to support three to five thousand troops. If they could support them, Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu would not have to give up the county and state lieutenant.
If you cannot maintain a normal tax, it does not mean that you cannot maintain it, but because the land and the people have become the private property of countless families.
Before the world was in chaos, there was a court above the head. The governor, no matter how powerful the prefect is, he must abide by the rules of the court and dare not attack the major families. So the governor, the prefect seems to have great power, but he needs to bow to the local wealthy families. Otherwise, he would not even be able to collect normal taxes, and he would even get out of business for a year. However, after the chaos in the world, the soldiers became kings, and the rules of the court were suppressed by the court. The power of the prefect, the governor, and the prefect would be infinitely expanded. As long as the soldiers could be used to suppress the ground, they would kill them as much as they wanted.
If the local clans do not kill enough land, and the people support soldiers, no one can become a vassal in power. Therefore, if any prince wants to become a king, he will definitely attack the local powerful and wealthy households. If the methods are worse, such as Dong Zhuo directly robbed, and the methods are more clever, he will do more secretly, using troops to recharge bandits, collude with bandits, and weave charges... In short, one purpose is to get money and food to support soldiers, and all the early princes are like this.
Wang Kuang was more intelligent than Dong Zhuo. He arrested all the wealthy Hanoi families in the name of "colluding with eunuchs of the eunuchs" and forced the rich to pay for their sins and killed them without paying them. This was the case with Li Ren, but who was Dong Zhuo? When he heard about the "Five Battalions of the Northern Army", he knew that Li Ren was probably colluding with eunuchs of the eunuchs of the eunuchs of the eunuchs, but his direct troops were the Meiyang Han soldiers, and among the Meiyang Han soldiers, there were the Five Battalions of the Northern Army. In order to win over the hearts of the people, he naturally could not cut them with one knife.
Dong Zhuo scolded Li Ren in public and threw him to Fan Chou.
"Let him go to the prisoner camp. If he doesn't kill anyone, he will kill all the rest!"
Dong Zhuo snorted coldly, Lu Bu turned around and chopped his head with a big fist...
"Slow down!"
Niu Fu opened his mouth to stop him, and Dong Zhuo's old face suddenly became gloomy and unhappy. Niu Fu did not dare to look at Dong Zhuo's eyes, and lowered his head and said, "Daya... Daya found his wife a few days ago and said... a prisoner had a thousand coins."
Dong Zhuo frowned, Niu Fu's face showed a bitter look, but he still had to speak again.
"When Huwa was in the dock, he distributed 300,000 stones of food to others. Da Ya had already returned it to the child. But... But my father-in-law also knew that the weather was getting colder, and the soldiers needed sheepskin coats to keep warm, bedding, wine, etc. alone... we owe 30,000 yuan of money, and the prisoners were easy to mess up. At this time, even if they were branded for the prisoners, it would be difficult to stop the prisoners from escaping, and we didn't have so much money to feed the soldiers..."
Dong Huang's ears were straight, and he was not very happy when he heard "Thousand Months".
"A thousand dollars is too little, right?"
When Dong Zhuo spoke to kill the prisoners, Niu Fu stopped him. A group of generals also approached a little intentionally or unintentionally. When he heard that Niu Fu had found another money-making business, they all looked at each other inexplicably. But when Dong Huang spoke, many people frowned again.
A general frowned and said, "When the Han soldiers died, the court will only give you three or four thousand coins. If the second young master can ask for more money from Da Ya, it will naturally be a good thing, but we are afraid that the second young master will anger Da Ya."
The generals nodded together. If they were in Chang'an, after Li Ru started to cast small coins, the price of grain had soared by more than 10,000 yuan, and one thousand yuan was naturally nothing. But Hanoi was not Chang'an. Once they stayed in Hanoi County, the grain was nothing. If they didn't have food, they would be finished... Of course, they could also rob the wealth of wealthy families, but that was one-time, and they would be gone after they were robbed, but the business could last for a long time.
The generals in the army were unwilling to offend Daya. During this period, Luoyang, except for selling it to Dong Zhuo’s military supplies, the rest were sold privately to generals at all levels, especially the essential drinks. The generals sold it to the soldiers below at a higher price. In just one or two months, except for Dong Zhuo’s debt, Niu Fu, all made a lot of money.
If you can only grab it once, the business will last for a long time. Naturally, a group of generals do not want Dong Huang to ruin everyone's benefits.
Dong Zhuo frowned for a moment and said dissatisfiedly: "Selling wine to us is so expensive, we can't suffer too much! Let Yuan'er tell Da Ya that one thousand dollars is too little, at least one thousand five hundred dollars!"
Niu Fu nodded and said, "What my father-in-law said is that one thousand dollars is a little less, so let's go to Luoyang today."
After saying that, he looked at Fan Chou again.
"It is easy for Yuan Shao to escape, but it is difficult for Wang Kuang to escape, so he immediately led 30,000 troops and chopped his head!"
Fan Chou was overjoyed and hurriedly clasped his fists.
"promise!"
The boat was too small, and it was easy to panic and unwilling to board the ship. It was difficult to transport all the thousands of cavalry on the south bank to the north bank for a while. Yuan Shao was the first to notice the danger, so he took his troops and horses to meet with his son despite Zhu Yan's obstruction. After the two sides met, there were 40,000 to 50,000 soldiers and horses. If they wanted to escape desperately, Dong Zhuo had no good way, but the troops led by Wang Kuang and Wen Chou were different. They were reinforced by Pingyin County Ferry to the west. Because of the direction of Taihang Mountain, once Dong Zhuo crossed the river from Xiaopingjin, it was no different from the way of Wang Kuang and Wen Chou's retreat.
Fan Chou was overjoyed and took a group of generals to capture the prisoners. Dong Zhuo looked at Lu Bu, who was cold-faced and silent again.
"Fengxian, I will give you five thousand soldiers and horses. Immediately go east to chase and kill old man Zhu Yan. Be sure to bring the old man's head for us!"
Lu Bu stepped forward without hesitation.
"promise!"
Lu Bu Ling left with great strides, but Dong Zhuo frowned for some reason...
It was too sudden. No one expected that Dong Zhuo would play with it in a real way. Yuan Shao did not dare to hesitate. He just met his son Yuan Tan and had not escaped from the Wild King. From behind, Dong Zhuo attacked Xiaopingjin and ran for more than ten miles. There was a shocking sound of horse hooves from behind. Yuan Shao thought that Dong Zhuo's iron cavalry came over. Until he saw Yu Fuluo, he felt relieved and ran towards Jizhou with his troops.
Zhu Yan fainted in anger and woke up under the rescue of a group of generals. The battle situation collapsed. Zhu Yan wanted to make his last effort but had no choice but to do anything. After the generals discussed, they had to flee east with less than 10,000 people and temporarily enter Yanzhou before making a statement.
