"Family, country, world."

Dong Hu pointed outside, looking a little solemn.

"Dr. Cai, Eunuch Guo, Eunuch Gao, and the imperial court's suppression of us are some of the personal reasons, some are political considerations for our enemies and us, and some are the interests of the Han Dynasty."

"But what about us to retake the three counties of Hetao? Although there are some of our plans in it, it is because before the world is in chaos, such as the plan of the hidden dragon in the abyss."

Speaking of this, Dong Hu suddenly felt that he should explain this matter clearly, and turned around and took out a simple map from the skin hanging behind him...

"If two people fight in chess, there is a saying in the chess path of 'golden horns and silver edges'. For example, the Yellow Turban Army rebelled. From the beginning of the rebellion, the Yellow Turban Army lost. It is not that their soldiers are not good enough, nor that their armor is not sharp enough, but that they chose the opening pattern of 'grass belly' and chose to rebel in the Central Plains of the Four Wars."

"The Yellow Turban Army chose to be a grass belly, but its combat power is not strong. When it suffers setbacks in war, it cannot advance and has nowhere to retreat. Once it is surrounded by people, there will be only one result in defeat and being killed."

"When seeing the rebellion of the old man Han Sui, he chose the position of Jinjiao. When the war is not going well, he can retreat all the way west, retreat to Jincheng Pass, retreat to Wuwei County, Zhangye County, Jiuquan County, Dunhuang County, and even retreat into the Western Regions to preserve his strength. The Han Dynasty quelled the rebellion army step by step, but what about the logistics supplies? Two thousand miles, three thousand miles...five thousand miles...ten thousand miles, such a long supply line, how could the Han Dynasty replenish tens of thousands of troops?"

"During the peak period of the Han Dynasty and the prosperous national strength, it can still support such a long supply line. How can the Han Dynasty, which is internal and external troubles, support such a long supply line? How can it provide two million stones of grain to a 100,000 army?"

"The reason for the golden horn and silver edge is here. When the war is not going well, there is a way to retreat. You can use a long supply line to drag down the court. When the court finds powerless, it can only sit back and watch others grow and grow until they are powerful. For example, in our current situation, the court has no good methods. Even though we know that our existence is extremely inappropriate, there is no good method."

Dong Hu looked at the two of them with serious expressions and rolled up a simple map...

"This is just our selfish intention, but if we take back the three counties of Hetao, it is a great benefit for the world. We fight with the Xianbei people, the Huns, and the outsiders, it is a great benefit for the world!"

"After the chaos in the world, the Han people in the Central Plains suffered war and were displaced... Some things cannot be stopped by human resources, but our existence can prevent countless Han people from rising and falling in the war from being ravaged and enslaved by Hu people and alien races."

"The world will be divided for a long time and will be divided for a long time. This is the number of heaven and the cause and effect of the world."

"There are days when the court governs more than the bad side, the world will be stable, the people will be healthy and prosperous; when the court governs more than the good side, the people will be poor, displaced, and the people will be deeply resentful, and the world will fall into continuous turmoil and war..."

"Just like a big tree withering, the storm swaying and gradually withering a hundred-year-old tree. Every time the people's resentment deepens, the big tree will suffer from a storm and sway. Every time the people rebel, the court will lose some taxes and increase some expenditures. The century-old tree will wither a little until... the big tree will wither completely and will no longer be able to withstand any storm and fall down."

“That’s the number of days.”

"This is reincarnation."

...

“What is the number of days?”

"It is the ability of the emperor and officials to govern the world, and the number of days is the wish of countless people."

"The court imposed too many evil policies, from the kings, princes, gentry, and people, countless people were dissatisfied with the court. When they accumulated more resentment, it became an irresistible willingness to change the dynasty and generation, and it became a necessity for the long-term unity."

"Similarly, when countless people suffer from war, countless people are displaced and have no place to support, countless people are floating and wailing in the war, countless people will desire peace, and countless people will want to end the war, which will become inevitable that long-term separation will lead to unity."

"After a long separation, one will be together, one will be separated. This is the number of days, the wish of countless people, and it cannot be stopped by one person."

Dong Hu knew very well about the Three Kingdoms. Some things were not something he could stop, but he knew that there were countless people in history who admired the kind and ambition to turn the tide, leaving behind countless stories that are singular and eternal, but it was just a tragedy...

After a long silence, Dong Hu got up and came to the two of them, looking at them solemnly.

"It's going to rain, and my mother wants to get married. There are some things that we can decide or stop. To stop the cycle of reincarnation and suppress the resentment of the people in the world, it will become the enemy of the world, and this is not taken by the Homo sapiens."

"The way of heaven has its own certainty, but... the interests of a family, the interests of a country, and the interests of the world are more important, and you know that it is one thing, and increasing the promotion of evil wishes is another thing. You cannot harm state affairs because of your own interests, and you cannot harm the world because of your own interests!"

"The world is in chaos or not, it has nothing to do with us. We just need to watch quietly. Let's regard ourselves as a general of the border army, and honestly guard the border for the country and the country. What will happen in the future... Let's talk about it later, but you must not talk to others randomly, just know it in your heart."

Dong Hou clasped his fists solemnly, and Zhang Liao also bowed his head.

"Don't worry, brother (lord), we (Liao) will never talk to others."

Dong Hu nodded slightly, and his hands fell on the two of them...

"As a minister, we know that the court has suppressed and planned, but we cannot break through the bottom line. For example, if we really rebel and cause chaos, this is the bottom line! It is the bottom line before the world is in chaos!"

"Why?"

"Because this is the loyalty that a minister should give, and he will have eight virtues, benevolence, righteousness, loyalty, trustworthiness, wisdom, courage and strictness."

"Before the world is truly in chaos, and before the princes of the world compete for hegemony, the people's lives have been a little hard, and they have a lot of resentment, complaining that they have worked hard all day long, and may only earn a belly all year round, and they are dissatisfied with only a torn dress to drive away the cold, but the people still have families, wives, children, and family members, and have not suffered from war. If we rebel and cause countless people to be displaced, it means that we have no kindness or righteousness to the people, and no loyalty to the country."

"But if the world is in chaos and the princes are fighting for hegemony, even if we compete for the Central Plains and open another country and dynasty, as long as the purpose is to avoid the suffering of war and to restore peace and well-being to the world, rather than listing our own selfish desires as the first goal, it is also in line with the virtues of generals!"

"For these reasons, when we and my uncle went to Guangzong that day, we were forced to do that day. We can tell us three strategies for destroying the country, but we cannot implement it or do it. This is the reason."

Thinking of the dissatisfaction with the court in the army and anger, Dong Hu sighed helplessly...

"Huangfu Song, Lu Zhi and others are the ones who are not controlled by the Han Dynasty and the people to plot against us. This is what they should do, because any army that is not controlled by the court is a potential turmoil in the world. Because the army is a knife, a knife for killing people. If the army is not controlled, it is like a knife without wearing a scabbard, which can easily hurt itself."

"As generals and ministers of the loyal court, they have the intention of eliminating some selfishness and political considerations, and they also have the intention to avoid uncontrolled army rioting the people and avoid suffering from war. This is to treat the people with kindness, and this... is in line with the virtues of a general. Therefore, our tiger kids can be angry, but they cannot say much, and they cannot kill people in anger, and then rebel, and they cannot cause the people to be displaced by anger."

"Similarly, Dr. Cai, Mr. Guo, Mr. Gao and others outside the carriage came here this time, which was similar to Huangfu Song and Lu Zhi's purpose on that day. It also had the hidden intention of stabilizing the Han Dynasty and the world. However,... the world has already shown signs of chaos. As for what this sign is, we won't tell you, you will see it little by little in the future."

Dong Hu sighed, "If it were a hundred years ago, or twenty years ago, we would have dispersed from Dongbuyicon without hesitation. We would have run back to the plateau without hesitation and be a sheep-herding baby with Kuwai, Daya and the others. But once the world is in chaos, the court will be unable to quell the war. As a general... can we really sit back and watch millions of people wail in the war?"

...

"well……"

"These words should not be told to you. It is a bit too early to say these things now. We will tell you this today. I just want to tell you that you can anger the three people outside and the court, but don't go too far, you can't aggravate the soldiers' hatred for the court, and you can't go too far to provoke the soldiers' rebellion!"

"You can hate it, you can ignore it, but you can't hate it, and you can't raise a knife to loyal ministers. Although eunuchs are greedy for money and power, they are also loyal to the court in some aspects."

Dong Hu looked at Dong Hou with a solemn expression and said, "After going back, we sort out what we say, the ten deputy generals and generals of the captain level each wrote a letter, and you will send someone to supervise it personally. After reading it, you will burn the letter and warn each battalion that the content of the letter should not be privately transmitted to others, nor should it be bewitched, and it will stimulate soldiers to hate the court. Whoever dares to violate this law will be cut off by military law!"

Dong Hou clasped his fists solemnly.

"promise!"

"After Hou sorted out the elder brother's words, please check it out first!"

Dong Hu nodded silently and looked at Zhang Liao again.

"Wen Yuan, please invite Dr. Cai, Mr. Gao, Mr. Guo and others in."

Somehow, Zhang Liao looked very red and his neck was thick, and his fists were even a little sharp and trembling.

"promise!"

Dong Hu picked up the news from Chang'an again, and after Dong Hou and Zhang Liao hugged each other, they silently withdrew from the carriage.

The carriage was very big, and although it was not as good as a house, it was not much worse. There were ten war horses dragged alone, which also made Cai Yong, Guo Sheng, Gao Wang and others shook their heads and dissatisfied, but they could not say anything, especially Guo Sheng, Gao Wang. When they were heading to Yingchuan, Dong Hu rode a carriage to handle military affairs, and it was nothing more than dragging the carriage and fewer war horses.

As soon as they got on the carriage of the big house, the three of them saw Dong Hu sitting in a pile of books. In the letters, Guo Sheng seemed to have forgotten his previous threatening words, and casually sat next to Dong Hu's table with a bunch of trousers and made fun of him.

"The emperor has six, the princes have five, the ministers have four, the officials have three, the scholars have two, and the common people have one."
