Chapter 191: Suppressing Dong Zhuo is a Political Task
Seeing Cai Yong open his mouth repeatedly and finally smile bitterly, Guo Sheng sighed softly, but he knew that if Dong Hu could not reduce his anger, let alone want to restrain himself, supervise Dong Buyicon, it would be thankful that the three of them would not die in the three counties of Hetao...
"Huwa knew the court's fear in his heart, and knew what we wanted to do when we came to Wuyuan County, but when he said the previous words, he did not think of rebellion, but he would never believe that the court or you and I did not have the intention to kill him..."
"Eunuch Guo, you..."
"Dr. Cai, Eunuch Gao, don't argue, even Guo has this kind of thought! But we all know that Dong Buyi was brought out by Hu Wa, the first mercenary, the tens of thousands of military farms in the Hehuang Valley, or the 200,000 to 300,000 people in front of him, were all brought out by Hu Wa!"
Guo Sheng turned his head to look at Gao Wang with a serious expression.
"Eunuch Gao still remembers the scene under Guangzong City that day? But still remembers why Huwa beat the clan member in anger? But still remembers what Huwa said in anger?"
"Huwa said...Don't play with fire. If you have too much fun, you can't bear the consequences!"
Gao Wang opened his mouth and smiled bitterly. How could he not know these things? Not only did he know, but even Cai Yong had heard of it. If it weren't for the forced force of others, if he hadn't had to "rebellion" and angered that kid, how could he have the words "three strategies for the destruction of the country from the top, middle and lower levels"? The few people would not have suffered a big disaster.
"Thuwa was furious and said those words that day. In fact, it was already clear. Don't force Huwa to rebel, don't force Dong Buyicon to rebel, and force people to be forced to be impatient. On that day, the city of Guangzong could not afford the consequences of Dong Buyicon's rebellion. Today... the court cannot afford it!"
...
"Dr. Cai, you should give me a memorial with the court. Tell me what Huwa means. Some things... are not something you and I can decide."
After Guo Sheng said that, without waiting for Cai Yong to agree, he walked towards Zhang Liao who was about to pull out the camp. He didn't know what he said, and then got into a carriage...
"well……"
Gao Wang smiled bitterly, and said nothing. He strode towards another carriage not far away. The three words stimulated the boy to be furious and dissatisfied, and did not dare to say anything more.
Seeing the two left one after another, Cai Yong thought for a while, and finally smiled bitterly and walked towards his carriage. He didn't know where he was going, but he and Gao Wang knew that there would be no mistakes in following Guo Sheng.
Dong Hu didn't know what the three of them were discussing. At this time, he was sitting in a larger carriage. In addition to him, there was another person sitting cross-legged in the carriage. He was no one else, but Xu Rong, the general under Dong Zhuo.
After reading the letter carefully, Dong Hu closed his eyes and pondered for a long time...
"well……"
Dong Hu sighed lightly, just as he was about to speak...
"Lord, Eunuch Guo asks for a meeting..."
"not see!"
Zhang Liao hesitated...
"Master, Eunuch Guo said... the princess told me that the princess' letters need to be handed over to the lord in person..."
Dong Hu felt anger in no time, and he didn't say whether the little princess's letter was written according to the other person's intentions. Even if it wasn't, it was just a few words of "tiger baby, tiger baby", etc., and when he first met, he didn't send it, but when he was angry, he took out the letter...
"not see!"
Zhang Liao did not dare to continue persuasion, and left after holding his fists. Dong Hu was so angry that he was made by Guo Sheng. After a few hums, he looked at Xu Rong and his words became much more direct.
"Uncle wants you to get a copy of Dongbuyisong, that's fine, but we don't think it's a good thing."
When Xu Rong heard the previous words, his heart beat faster, which meant that he would be the second general to command Dong Buyicon after Hua Xiong, but the words afterwards made him a little confused. When he was in Luoyang, Dong Zhuo had spoken the words "Station of troops in the North County", and all the generals understood Dong Zhuo's intentions.
Dong Hu knew Xu Rong's ability, and after saying he didn't agree, he would definitely shock him, but he continued to speak.
"General Xu is a veteran general of the war. He followed his uncle to fight south and north for more than ten years. If he said that the general was the first general under his uncle's name, it would be good at all. He naturally knew what it means to station troops in Beidi County."
"Simply speaking, we should use the word "puff the chaos" to station troops in Beidi County and enter Anding County at any time. From Anding County to the back of the thieves, the morale of the thieves will be in chaos. This battle can be won, but this is only beneficial to the court to quell the chaos, but it does not benefit my uncle himself."
Dong Hu also said: "War is a continuation of politics. When the general was in Luoyang, he thought he knew that Luoyang had suppressed his uncle and my Liangzhou army and did not trust him. Of course, our Huwa did not think that there was anything wrong with this. For a country, suppressing some potential hidden worries is an important political task for the stability of the empire. But after all, you and I are generals in Liangzhou, and we must also consider the future of Liangzhou and the future."
Xu Rong followed Dong Zhuo for the longest time and was the most calm general under Dong Zhuo. He was also a little shocked after hearing Dong Hu's words, but he did not interrupt.
"During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, my uncle will not become the first general to enter the battle; during the Liangzhou Qiang Rebellion, my uncle will not be the first general to enter the battle, just like last year's Yellow Turban Rebellion. Even if my uncle wears armor, he will generally be suppressed."
"Why?"
"We think there are three reasons."
"The first is the suppression of the localities by the imperial capital. For the stability of an empire, the imperial capital at the political center must be able to completely control the localities. Only when the imperial capital is the strongest and the localities are weak, is the safest and the empire can be stable."
"Among the generals of Liangzhou, Liangzhou Sanming, either died of illness or was killed. The remaining Liangzhou generals were Huangfu Song and his uncle. Huangfu Song had completely become a member of the court. His uncle seemed to be a general of the court, but the generals should know that the soldiers and generals under his uncle formed their own line. They were genuine Liangzhou generals. Or, although his uncle was in Luoyang, his head was still in Liangzhou, and he was a vassal general. This is also the main reason why the court could let Huangfu Song be the head commander and not let his uncle serve as a general in one place."
"The second is the struggle for power in the court. Before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the power of the eunuchs in the inner court reached its peak, but after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Your Majesty lifted the party shackles, and the Qingliu Party members were instantly resurrected with blood. The civil officials of the outer court needed to control enough power so that they could suppress the eunuchs in the inner court."
"The biggest way to control power is to control military power. Whether Empress Lu's rebellion, Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, or even the previous general Liang Ji poisoned the Emperor Zhi, as well as the general Dou Wu and the Taifu Chen Fan in rebellion, all proved the importance of controlling military power. The tens of thousands of troops led by Huangfu Song were the elite troops to quell the Yellow Turban Rebellion and recruited the three auxiliary troops of Chang'an. How could the civil and military officials in the foreign court be willing to hand over such military power to others?"
Dong Hu shook his head and sighed...
"No matter how obedient and obedient my uncle is, even if he slashes his tiger kid who makes Luoyang uncomfortable, the civil and military officials in the outer court will not be able to hand over such military power to his uncle. Not only because of his uncle's identity as a general in Liangzhou, but also concerns the right to speak for the civil and military officials in the outer court. If the military power is handed over, the civil and military officials in the outer court will lose the foundation for fighting with the inner court. No matter who serves as the third Duke of the outer court, it will not be so stupid. Therefore, suppressing the uncle is not a problem of whom, but the common wish of the civil and military officials in the entire outer court."
"The third reason... How does General Xu view Zhang Yan as the General of the Central Army?"
Listening to Dong Hu's words, Xu Rong fell into deep thought and was a little disappointed. He had been in the Han Dynasty system for 10 or 20 years. He could distinguish the right and wrong in Dong Hu's words. If he had served as the important position of the Three Dukes, he would definitely think about how to suppress the Liangzhou army and prevent the generals of Liangzhou from becoming bigger. As Dong Hu expressed, a strong and weak were in line with the stability of the empire. The civil and military officials of the foreign court finally took advantage of the Yellow Turban chaos and were full of blood to resurrect, so he was unwilling to lose his power again. If anyone had changed, he would have firmly grasped the military power, but he was still a little surprised. Dong Hu's jumping words...
After thinking for a while, Xu Rong frowned and said, "It was a good time when the Qiang people in Liangzhou rebelled, it was better to use some means to comfort the remnants of the Yellow Turban Thief."
Dong Hu nodded and shook his head silently. Xu Rong was stunned and puzzled, not understanding what he meant.
Dong Hu sighed lightly: "General Xu said that last year, he had just experienced the Yellow Turban Rebellion. There were many Yellow Turban Rebellion, Jingzhou, Yuzhou, Xuzhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Jizhou and Youzhou, and many Yellow Turban Rebellion robbed the countryside. Although the court thundered the thunderous chaos, General Xu also knew that famine occurred everywhere. Because the Yellow Turban Rebellion was the time of harvesting the wheat valley. When farming, there were chaos everywhere. Not only could the people not be able to harvest the wheat valley, but they also missed the farming season, which led to countless hungry people, which caused a severe damage to the people's livelihood economy of the empire."
"The heart of the Central Plains suffered a severe blow, and the treasury tax was insufficient. We should have taken this time to rest and recover our national strength for three or five years. However, at this time, the Qiang people in Liangzhou rebelled and threatened the Sanfu of Chang'an..."
"The national strength has not been restored, and Your Majesty has imposed taxes again, which will inevitably cause some people to be dissatisfied. Last year, although the court completely defeated the Yellow Turban thieves, it failed to completely eradicate it. Instead, it allowed them to take advantage of the war and hungry people to take advantage of the opportunity to expand. What is even more troublesome is that they have changed their tactics and no longer live in plains that are prone to be besieged, but hide in mountains and entanglement with the encirclement officers and soldiers. In addition, the Qiang people in Liangzhou rebelled and fierce fighting between the internal and external courts..."
"With internal and external difficulties, the court is unable to deal with the internal and external rebellion and rebellion. For the time being, the Heishan Army and the Yellow Turban Remnants will be comforted. First, focus on pacifying the rebellion of the Qiang people in Liangzhou. This is a wise decision that has no choice but to... "
"However, our Huwa has three questions and wants to ask General Xu for advice."
"First, the outer court and the inner court will fight each other. Can the outer court win in a short time? Or can the outer court eliminate the disputes in the court after winning in a short time and quickly put its main energy into dealing with the remnants of the Yellow Turban thieves in the territory and the rebellion of the Qiang people in Liangzhou? Can the upper and lower levels be united in a short time?"
"Second, the remnants of the Yellow Turbans are hiding in the mountains. Can the court clean up in a short time to prevent them from robbing the countryside everywhere and continuing to cause tearing and losses to the empire?"
"Third, can this Qiang man-in-law be pacified in a short period of time?"
