Chapter 145
Dong Hu believes in cause and effect. Under bad causes and evil causes and evil causes, the final result must be bad results. Xiao Pang Tong, who is cherishing and doing something else to him, is the same. Dong Zhuo knocked on his head and scolded him, and what about him?
He became a little princess groom and was very unemployed. After throwing the whip to Gao Wang, he leaned on the wall of the car all day long and thought about this problem.
After thinking for several days, I finally confirmed that I was not a maldeveloped seed, but he was not sure if Dong Zhuo was his bad habit. He grew up smoothly under the care of the Dong family. This fate must be a good fate. What will happen in the future?
Not only is it a question of whether Dong Zhuo is good at being a good relationship, but the little princess Liu Yan, Shi Hou Liu Bian, and the eunuchs in the inner court, are these people good relationships or bad relationships?
Dong Hu was not sure, and his head was about to explode. He seemed to be sick for a few days and he didn't say anything. His appearance also attracted the attention of the curious baby Liu Yan, and he stretched his head out of the curtain from time to time...
"Thuwa, what's wrong with you?"
Dong Hu ignored her and just rolled her eyes.
"Are you worried about Dong Buyicon?"
When Liu Yan said this, Gao Wang couldn't help but turn his head to look at the little princess who stretched out her head, and then at Dong Hu who was still biting a wheat straw, but he didn't speak.
"I'm not old..."
"But I'm not missing a little!"
Dong Hu spit out the wheat straw in his mouth and stretched out his big hand to press her back to the carriage, but unexpectedly he was beaten by the angry little girl.
"What are you doing?"
"Will I believe this princess complain to her father and mother when she returns to the palace?"
Dong Hu was depressed and turned his face out. Seeing that he turned his back to him, the little princess might have discovered his conscience. She felt that she had said it was serious, hurting his self-esteem and so on, so she pushed him twice...
"Tiger baby..."
"Huwa, you... you are very powerful in leading troops. If... if... if you really like fighting, I... can plead with your father and mother..."
Dong Hu turned over and looked at her again. Seeing her staring at him, he reached out to look at her forehead and flicked it. Looking at the little girl who was pouting and covering her forehead, he couldn't help but grin.
"Let's explain two points first. First, you are a clay Buddha who crosses the river and cannot protect yourself. Although we tied up a hundred thousand people in Yingchuan County to you and seized the military power of the three generals of the Central Army. It seems that others can't do anything to you. After all, when you presided over Yingchuan County, one of them relieved the crisis of Yingchuan County and eliminated the crisis around the Luoyang Imperial Capital. The three generals of the Central Army repeatedly lost their troops and were blocked by the thieves in the city and could not get out. After the princess led the troops, he immediately repelled the thieves. No matter how dissatisfied the court officials, the credit for repelling the enemy was the princess."
Gao Wang could not help but nodded after hearing his words: "Thuwa's words are good. No matter how others say that the princess is young, it will also repel the thief!"
"Yeah, Huwa, let me talk about it."
Liu Yan immediately smiled and nodded in agreement, just like a doll who likes others to praise.
Dong Hu was amused and said, "One, the princess led the troops to replace Luoyang, Yingchuan County resolved the crisis, rescued the Three Central Army Generals and more than 10,000 soldiers; the two recruited 50,000 soldiers to make up for the problem of insufficient military strength in the court; the three recruited enough food for a 100,000 army to fight for a year, alleviating the lack of financial resources in the court. In addition, we tied millions of people in Yingchuan County to the princess, even if the Yingchuan families were dissatisfied, they would not dare to make noise in the court easily, unless they were willing to be scolded by the millions of people in Yingchuan County and undermined the three Central Army Generals, it seemed that we had all left, but the princess' prestige had been recognized by tens of thousands of soldiers. If the three Central Army Generals attacked and impeached the princess, they would not dare to make the soldiers obedient."
"The three generals bow their heads and the families of Yingchuan County bow their heads. The princess is the credit of being nailed down. This proves the wise decision of Your Majesty and the Empress. The princess is right to leave the capital and quell the rebellion army. Anyone who talks nonsense about this matter is dissatisfied with resentment from the court, is jealous of the princess' contributions, and is even more challenging the majesty of Your Majesty and the Han Empire."
"So, the danger between the princess and father-in-laws... has been successfully overcome, but this is only on the surface! After returning to Beijing, if you want to get out of your head like this, you won't have any more "tiger baby" or "tiger baby". There will definitely be a stern nanny, father-in-law, professor and doctoral professor to slap you in the palm of your hand!"
When Dong Hu thought of the little girl learning the princess style under the strict discipline of others, she grinned and flicked her forehead again.
"I am a clay Buddha who crosses the river, and I still have time to worry about us?"
"hehe……"
"The second thing is that when we wrote a letter to the Empress and Eunuch Guo before the New Year, we had already made it clear that if my uncle entered the Central Plains to quell the rebellion, he would definitely be defeated and humiliated. One of the reasons is that my uncle did not have enough obedient and elite soldiers. This time, we came to the Central Plains to send soldiers to my uncle."
Dong Hu thought for a while and said, "Uncle is very different from the generals of the Han Dynasty. If we hand over the military soldiers to Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, Lu Zhi, or Sikong and Zhang Wen, we will not be relieved, but it will be different to hand them over to our uncle. We can feel completely relieved."
"Why? Is it because Dong Zhonglang is your uncle of Huwa?"
Xiao Liuyan and Dong Hu didn't spend long time together, but Dong Hu had a characteristic that was easy to be approached by children. Even the little Pangde, who was bullied by him at the beginning, became the "Brother of Tiger" after being with him for a few days...
Dong Hu looked at Gao Wang, who was pricking his ears and eavesdropping, then looked at Xiao Liuyan's doubts, and smiled bitterly.
"Dong Buyi is quite special. No matter who he handed it to, our tiger kids are not worried about betrayal or rebellion. It is not because we gave them a lot of money, nor because we promised glory and wealth, but because we gave them fairness, and this is precisely what others cannot give them."
"Under the Han Dynasty's military system, whether it is Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song, or Zhu Jun, in essence, they don't care about the soldiers, but whether they can win for them or whether they can achieve merit."
Dong Hu looked at the little princess with a puzzled look and said with a smile: "This sounds a bit confusing. After all, whether you can win a battle depends on the soldiers. If you don't care about the soldiers, how can you win a battle?"
Not only did the little princess nodded repeatedly, but Gao Wang nodded in agreement, but neither of them spoke.
"Why do you care about the soldiers... I care about the directions of different things. Huangfu Song, Zhu Yan... or other generals of the Han Dynasty, they care about whether there are enough soldiers and whether they can die desperately, rather than whether the soldiers eat well, whether they are cold, whether they have difficulties at home, whether they have studied and read, how are the military formations practiced, whether they are diligent in fighting, whether they are treated with swords and weapons, after being disabled on the battlefield, whether others are taken care of, died in battle, whether their wives, children and parents are supported by others..."
"The directions that care about are different will be different. If we hand over Dong Buyi from Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, they will desperately drive the soldiers to die to achieve victory and merit. Dong Buyi will do this, and the soldiers recruited by the court will also drive them to die and exchange their lives for victory."
"And the generals who really care about the soldiers will not easily let the soldiers make unnecessary sacrifices, and will cherish the use of soldiers even more."
Dong Hu smiled and said, "The military system of the Han Dynasty is a national compulsory military service system. What is the national compulsory military service system? That is, every male is a soldier. The Han Dynasty has the right to recruit any adult male to join the army, but it is impossible for everyone to go to the battlefield, so there are more taxes, that is, every male who does not serve in the army must pay silver."
"In wartime, soldiers were recruited, and they went home after the war. The soldiers and generals were together for a short time, and both sides could not cultivate their own feelings. Over time, they became only concerned about whether there were many soldiers and whether they could be obedient and die."
"Dongbuyi is different. Dongbuyi is a military farmer. Even the mercenary at the beginning, in a sense, is a military farmer."
"Because they always have battalions, large, medium and small squad leaders, they train every five days, and the generals are always in charge of them. The generals and soldiers become father and son, brotherly relationships. This is different from Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun and others who do not know the soldiers below."
Dong Hu sighed again: "In theory, my uncle, Huangfu Song and General Zhu Jun are the same. They are both generals of the Han Dynasty, so they should not care too much about the soldiers. After all, no matter how many soldiers the commander has, once the war is over, the soldiers in his hands will be dispersed. They should let the soldiers return home. They should not care too much about death or not, but whether they can win the war."
"In fact, there is some difference between my uncle and them. The biggest difference is that my uncle fought in Xiliang for twenty years."
"If you don't cherish the soldiers, many people will die every time you fight. Even if you win every time, no soldiers are willing to mess with you. Why? Because you win the war, you are the general who gets the reward, but the soldiers under your army won't get any benefits. Instead, you will be driven to death by you. No one is willing to mess with you."
"The people of Xiliang are fierce and stubborn, unlike the honest and obedient farmers in the Central Plains. They are forced to force them to be anxious. It is common to kill officials and generals to rebel. If you want them to be honest and obedient, you must not only win the battle, but also be kind to them. You cannot deliberately let them die, otherwise... the one who dies must be the generals who lead the troops!"
Dong Hu flicked the little girl's dazed forehead and smiled and said, "My uncle has been in Xiliang for twenty years. My uncle has fought with the East and West Qiang, Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Yizhou Man. How could he lose too many troops in the past twenty years?"
"People who love to protect soldiers are extremely cautious in using troops and will not easily make soldiers sacrifice indifferently. Of course, wars will kill people, but people must die with value, rather than desperately driving soldiers to die for victory or merit."
"So, my uncle would not deliberately let Dong Buyicong die. As long as we guarantee this, we have nothing to worry about. Instead, we will ask us to hand Dong Buyicong over to Sikong Zhang Wen, Huangfu Song, and Zhu Jun. Even if they are the gods of war in the Han Dynasty, we are unwilling. If the person dies, they will be promoted and rich, but they will leave us a body and a lonely widow and a child to be raised. Can we be willing?"
In the past that Dong Hu knew about Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo had never really been defeated. Even after becoming the Grand Tutor of Dong, he had never really been defeated when facing the princes of Guandong. He was an extremely cautious general who commanded the troops.
Dong Zhuo was cruel and unkind, but after his death, Niu Fu, Li Jue, and Guo Si were able to stabilize the morale of the army in the name of avenging him, and even led a hundred thousand troops to besiege Chang'an.
How many soldiers did Dong Zhuo first enter Luoyang?
Only three thousand!
Where were the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses?
Liangzhou soldiers?
Stop talking nonsense! When Dong Zhuo first entered Luoyang, Han Sui, Ma Teng and others were still in chaos in Liangzhou! Tens of thousands of soldiers were not Luoyang, local soldiers in Chang'an? But why could Niu Fu and others still besiege Chang'an in the name of Dong Zhuo? Besiege the emperor?
Was Li Maozhen, the governor of Fengxiang in the Tang Dynasty, brutal? He alone was alone and burned Chang'an several times. There were countless governors in the world, and very few could survive ten years, but Li Maozhen was able to dominate Liangzhou for forty years!
