Chapter 127 Dong Zhuo, General of Yulin Zhonglang [Chapter Two]

Dong Hu just turned 17 and was not as strong as Dong Zhuo. The key is that he has strong hair and a beard on his face makes it difficult for people to regard him as a half-grown boy without crown.

Since Dong Hu entered Deyang Palace, everyone has been observing Dong Hu brought by Guo Sheng, and is serious and answering whatever you ask. He is very calm and calm, and has also made others look up to him.

In front of the emperor, Dong Hu said that the Han Dynasty had absolute priority, and the ministers nodded with satisfaction, asking them to admit that a group of thieves had taken the lead in the country's fortune, which was even more uncomfortable than killing them.

The Han and Tang dynasties were extremely powerful dynasties. Whether it was because the tribes of the grassland were in internal struggle and split and were unable to look south, even if the Han and Tang dynasties were about to perish, the princes still fought against the tribes of the grassland and howled.

A dynasty that has been strong for hundreds of years, you said that the Han Dynasty had no chance of national destiny, from the emperor to the people, they were also angry and dissatisfied.

Dong Hu knew the pride of the Han Dynasty, and then punched the emperor deeply, and continued to speak.

"The Yellow Turban Thief took the lead in rebelling and attacking, just like a thin man jumped up and punched while a strong man was not paying attention. Although he took the lead in attacking, everyone knew that even if the strong man fainted, the result of the fight between the two was self-evident."

"I also told Your Majesty before that the large number of people does not mean that the combat power is very strong. The combat power of an army mainly includes generals, soldiers, equipment, training level, logistics and supplies, and the fighting will of soldiers. In addition to fighting will, the court absolutely crushed the Yellow Turban rebels in other aspects."

Dong Hu said: "The thief army suddenly attacked, and the way to gather the thief crowd is to use ghosts and gods to deceive the people. Under the ghosts and gods, the people will forget the fear of death for a while, and their will to fight to the death is stronger than the imperial soldiers. But this is only in a short time. As long as the thief army is frustrated, as long as the bewitched people shake the ghosts and gods, the thief army will collapse instantly."

"It seems that the thief army is raging at the moment, but the court has absolutely taken the initiative. It's just that the court has not yet fully integrated the available resources. For example, the strong man who was fooled by a stick has not yet come back to his senses."

As he said that, Dong Hu held his frown and bowed to Empress Dowager Dong again.

"The Empress Dowager said before that the thief's nest Julu, Guangzong, and Xiaochen agreed, but... Even if I chopped off the heads of the three brothers Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang in one day, will the thieves from all counties and counties in the world disappear?"

"No, the thief will not disappear."

Dong Hu said: "The rebellion of the Yellow Turban Thief is different from the Qiang Rebellion before. The Qiang Rebellion before, all the Qiang Rebellion gathered in Jincheng Pass, like a tightly clenched fist. I just need to attack their nests or open their clenched fists, and I will win."

"The Yellow Turban Thieves were not clenched tightly, but the thiefs thirty-six Qus are scattered in the 28 counties of the seven states. Since the beginning, the thiefs were opened, so the thiefs had no nests to kill life and death. What they had to do in the end was to eliminate the thiefs of the seven states one by one."

Dong Hu clasped his fists to the solemn emperor Liu Hong.

"I agree with the strategy of the court officials, first kill the thieves, first clear the threats around Luoyang to calm the people's hearts, and clean up the thieves in Yuzhou, which affect the morale of our enemies and our people, and then focus on cleaning up the thieves in Jizhou, and then chop off the heads of several of the most thieves, shocked and shaken the faith of the Yellow Turban thieves, it would be much easier to clear the remaining thieves."

Dong Hu thought for a while and said something more...

"Your Majesty is the emperor and the pillar of the people's hearts of the Han Dynasty. The thieves said that the sky was dead. If Your Majesty is at a loss at this time, the court officials will be at a loss, and the soldiers fighting below will be inconfident, and the officials of each county will not be confident enough, and will only increase the momentum of the thieves. Therefore... I think Your Majesty does not need to be anxious and calmly respond."

"If my words offend Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager will be majestic. Please ask Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager, do not blame me for being rude."

Dong Hu bowed deeply to the high emperor and the empress dowager...

Liu Hong nodded slightly and sighed: "What you are saying is a loyal and kind word. How can I be punished for my words?"

The emperor waved his hand, and Dong Hu put his fists in his hands again, and sat silently at Guo Sheng's head.

Seeing Dong Hu sitting down and bowing his head without saying anything, after a few breaths, Emperor Liu Hongcai turned to look at the new Sikong Zhang Wen and General He Jin.

"Zhang Aiqing, He Aiqing, and Dong Duwei must prepare the troops and supplies required by the army, armor and supplies required by the emperor as soon as possible, and do not let the meritorious soldiers worry about the supplies!"

Half a month ago, because Sikong Yang Ci argued with Liu Hong on the Qingliu Party, Liu Hong was furious and dismissed him, and Sikong was succeeded by Sikong.

The succession of Siong Zhang Wen as Sikong was nothing, but after hearing the emperor speak of Dong Hu as "Duwei" instead of "Military Ambassador of the Military Land", he was stunned with all the ministers, but Dong Hu, who bowed his head, was no different.

Zhang Wen and He Jin were stunned for a moment, and then stood up and clasped their fists together.

"I am obeying Your Majesty's will and prepare the needs for Dong Duwei as soon as possible."

Everyone thought that "Duwei Dong" was still the western commander of Jincheng County, but when Liu Hong looked at Zhang Rang...

"The prefect of Hedong, Dong Zhuo, the commander of the Yulin Cavalry, was a meritorious in the defeat of the bandits. He was specially promoted to the Yulin Central Army General. Dong Hu, the commander of the western capital of Jincheng County, was very loyal and brave. He could be appointed as the commander of the Yulin Cavalry, and was given a set of brocade robes and armor."

Everyone was shocked. He Jin had to object without thinking. He looked up but saw Queen He frowning and glaring. At this moment, the Grand Marshal Zhang Wen bowed deeply.

"Your Majesty, I... I agree with General Dong as the cavalry commander, but the prefect Dong... The prefect Dong was slightly defeated a few days ago. If he had no merits and received his salary... Isn't it wrong?"

Zhang Wen spoke, and there were more oppositions. From time to time, some people would stand up and oppose, and their words were different, but the general meaning was that "receiving rewards without merit" was inappropriate. Few people opposed Dong Hu's tenure as the cavalry commander.

Seeing so many people objecting, Liu Hong looked at Dong Hu hesitantly.

"Do Wei Dong have something to say?"

Everyone was shocked. They were originally fond of Dong Hu's analysis of both the enemy and us. After hearing the emperor's words of hatred, they immediately pulled Dong Hu into the "enemy".

Dong Hu smiled bitterly. Isn’t this eye drops for people in public? But at this time, he didn’t let him think about it carefully and stood up.

"I agree with Your Majesty's disposal."

As he said that, he bowed to Zhang Wenhe and his ministers.

"If you offend me, please forgive me."

After holding his fist, Dong Hu said again: "Your Majesty and all the lords know what the kid is doing in Liangzhou, and no one feels safe. The kid really needs a heavy-duty general to suppress him, so he can do anything recklessly."

As soon as Dong Hu said, even the little princess Liu Yan, who knew nothing, would have a little brain, let alone others.

"The boy is not steady enough and often acts regardless of everything. It is indeed inappropriate to suppress him without being a serious person. But I, Dongbuyi, belongs to a member of Liangzhou. It is logical that General Huangfu is a more suitable person to suppress him. But... Your Majesty, you all know the bastards that the boy's generals do."

"I won't mention the reason, but Lieutenant General Yong distrusts General Huangfu, so who has the prestige to command our army?"

Dong Hu shook his head slightly.

"No one!"

All the ministers were shocked...

"It's not that the boy is arrogant. The Right General Zhu Jun and Zhu General quelled the rebellion in Jiaozhou before. The Northern General Lu Zhi had pacified the rebellion and suppressed the Jiujiang barbarians. The soldiers led by the two generals were all from the south, and there were many mountains and rivers in the south. The soldiers led by the soldiers were all infantry, which was different from the Dama of Liangzhou in our Liangzhou."

"There are many mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River. The soldiers and military formations not only have different methods of cavalry and infantry battle formations, but also have different methods of infantry tactics and Central Plains battles."

"There are many mountains, water and siege in the south of the Yangtze River to kill the enemy with small corps or scattered soldiers. The Central Plains are flat and more suitable for large corps combat. The military formations practiced by our infantry are the Central Plains military formations, which are different from the soldiers led by General Zhu and General Lu."

Dong Hu clasped his fists to Liu Hong with a solemn expression.

"Your Majesty knows that General Zhu is from Jiangnan, and his combat area was also from Jiangnan. General Lu is from Youzhou. Youzhou also has cavalry and is also a flat and open land. Perhaps because of these reasons, the court officials recommended General Lu to preside over the fight against the thieves in Jizhou."

"In theory, General Lu can also lead our army, but our army is the Liangzhou army. General Lu may have some prestige among the Wuwan people, but lacks prestige among the Qiang people. However, more than 80% of Dong Buyi were from Qiang people. In addition, he had misunderstandings with the court before, it was difficult to let General Lu lead our army."

"In this way, only my uncle is left."

Dong Hu said: "The Qiang people have always been in chaos since the founding of the Han Dynasty, but the real resentment with the Han Dynasty was during the reign of Emperor Xuan. Zhang Yu, the prefect of Longxi County, killed 800 leaders of Shaodang Qiang at a banquet. This was similar to the consequences of Zhang Xiu, the general of the Huns' Central Army, who killed Zhang Xiu, a few years ago, to the extent that Zhang Yu was killed and conquered Shanyu. However, the consequences caused by Zhang Yu were even more serious, because Shaodang Qiang was a plateau Qiang."

"There is a big difference between the Qiang people in Liangzhou. The Qiang people in Plateau are extremely stubborn. They are the kind of people who are captured and beaten with a whip, even if they are cut off their noses, dig their eyes, peel them, and chop their heads. If they cannot agree with them, they will not be honest and obedient!"

Dong Hu looked at the little princess with a slightly pale face and sighed again: "Plateau Qiang is extremely stubborn and extremely loyal and obedient. If it were the grassland tribes or the Qiang people in Liangzhou, they would have been defeated for hundreds of years, and the Shaodang Qiang would have been destroyed, but they fought with the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years."

"The Qiang tribe is in Qinghai and at the westernmost end of the Hehuang Valley. As long as they rebel, the Hehuang Valley will be forced to rebel, either rebel or be burned as Qiang tribes. The Hehuang tribes have only these two options. Therefore, if the Shaodang Qiang is not completely surrendered or completely destroyed Shaodang Qiang, the Hehuang Valley will never be stable, and the Qiang people have always had such a source of turmoil."

"I have killed the source of the turmoil of the Qiang people, but during the rebellion of the Qiang people, the Qiang people and the Han people all died and injured countless times. Both sides cannot let go of their hostility in a short time. For this reason, if there are no famous people among the Qiang people, it is impossible to make them honest and obedient."

Dong Hu clasped his fists to Liu Hong and said, "Our army has 15,000. If Your Majesty asks our army to participate in the Central Plains to quell the rebellion, he needs to be given a title and a general who can truly control our army."

"I have already told the generals when I came here that it has nothing to do with His Majesty's gift or not, and even if there is no reward after the war, I only came here for the previous generals, crossed the border and robbed grain, and atoneed for the Lintao villagers, and made atonement for their sins."

"But my coming to fulfill my loyalty to the country represents the courage of the generals and subordinates of Liangzhou, and represents the entire Qiang ethnic group. Your Majesty gave some grace, in a sense, also expresses the goodwill of the Han Dynasty to the Qiang people, which is conducive to the Qiang people's recognition of the Han Dynasty from the bottom of his heart and the stability of the empire's northwest."

Dong Hu scratched his head and said, "I have already explained to all the generals in advance that there is no hindrance to the court whether there is any reward. After this battle, Your Majesty will give some honors without real power or salary. As for uncle... it is okay to give a Yulin Central Army General first. Our Huwa will fight to kill the enemy more and make more contributions to the Han Dynasty. The Yulin Central Army General was considered to be the court that the court prepaid to his uncle in advance. If Huwa cannot make meritorious contributions, he will punish him with multiple crimes and hit us hard."
