Dong Hu originally thought that after going south, he could take the opportunity to kill the Yu Fuluo brothers, but he did not expect that they would be so decisive. He did not expect that their ability to escape would allow them to escape into Shexian and escape into the territory of Zuo Yuzhangba, Liu Shi, Qingniujiao, Zuoxiao, Guo Daxian, Li Damu, and Yu Digen. Dong Hu had no way to continue chasing and could only wait for the next chance to chase.

Dong Hu successfully took over Taiyuan County and Shangdang County, and his strategic goal was achieved, but he was not as excited as he imagined. Instead, he was so angry that his stomach was bulging. The Huns fled. The 15,000 soldiers and horses on the eastern front were taken to Luoyang by the little princess, Lu Zhi and others...

After leaving the conference hall, Dong Chong saw that he was so annoyed that he still wanted to recover the 15,000 soldiers who had "defected", but Dong Hu sighed bitterly.

"It's too late!"

"If Hu San and Dong Yue are still in Jizhou or Hanoi, we can all recover them, but now... as long as we cross the Yellow River, we can't recover 15,000 troops."

Dong Chong said with a gloomy face: "If we see that Hu San, we will definitely chop off his head!"

Dong Hu sighed and said, "It's no wonder that Hu San, Dong Yue and the others can think in advance that the emperor could run across the river and enter Hanoi? We didn't issue corresponding military orders to Hu San and the others in advance. Little princess, Lu Zhi and Lu Zigan, Guo Sheng is difficult for Guo Sheng to convince Hu San and Dong Yue and the others. The only one who can really mobilize them... is the third uncle Dong Min!"

"Uncle San will not speak. Hu San and Dong Yue can resist openly, or even go back to Pingcheng without orders, or enter Jingxing Road alone. But if Uncle San will speak, Dong Yue will not be able to disobey the military order, and Hu San will have no way to do so. Once he violates it, it means... including us becoming completely strangers to the Dong family in Lintao, which is extremely unfavorable for us!"

Dong Chong knew that his eldest brother was unwilling to be separated from the Dong family, so he was silent for a moment...

"What should we do now? We can't give up 15,000 soldiers, right?"

Dong Hu frowned and said, "The 10,000 elite military farms in Pingcheng led by Hu San are our captured Yellow Turban Army. Although we followed Hu San to Luoyang with military regulations, don't think that these soldiers really forgot the 100,000 people in the Jingguan that Huangfu Song had placed on the hem of Guangzong City. They naturally had an invisible and intangible gap with the court. If we wanted to recall, we only needed a military order and they would come to Taiyuan County."

"These are just things that determine the identity of the military soldiers. Secondly, our military system is very different from that of the court. If the court does not interfere in military affairs, it would be fine. The more he intervenes, the more he will dislike the military and dislike it. The more it will be difficult for the court to gain recognition from the soldiers. If Hu San is still loyal, it would be fine. Once he dares to rebel and surrender to the court, he will become the enemy of 10,000 soldiers. If we don't need to do anything, Hu San will be chopped off by the soldiers!"

"Of course, we don't believe that Hu San will rebel. After following us for so long, he is not that stupid."

Dong Hu didn't believe that the tenth lieutenant under his name would rebel. These people followed him for a long time. They have been three or four years since they fought in Yanmen County. Over the years, Dong Hu and the generals at all levels under his name have basically no salary, and their lives are hard life. They have never seen any complaints or dissatisfaction. If these are not enough to reassure Dong Hu, the differences in the military system are enough to restrain them.

From the moment he recruited mercenaries, Dong Hu attached great importance to cultivating his generals and soldiers. However, some generals had their heads like elm-wood, not like brothers and sisters who had been raised since childhood. Although he also explained some tactics, strategies, patterns, etc. on weekdays, he could not master many, but the tenth deputy generals were the targets of training, and they learned more than others. Hu San knew very well that Dong Hu's judgment of the chaos in the world, and he would not foolishly defect to join the court. He had full confidence in this.

What's more, Dong Hu didn't believe that the court was offering 50,000 Han soldiers in Meiyang and the eight camps in Xiyuan, and at the same time, it also had financial resources to provide 15,000 soldiers and horses who ran to Luoyang.

I don't believe it, it's not that Luoyang really does not have the financial resources for this tax, but that the tax revenue was intercepted by countless corrupt officials and wealthy families below. After Liu Yan proposed the prefectures, the money and food sent to Luoyang would be less. The reason for establishing the prefectures was to clear out the remnants of the Yellow Turban thieves in each state, and to suppress the rebellions of the Banyan Man, Jiujiang Man, Jingzhou Man, Jiaozhou Man, and Wuwan people in Yizhou. This is a relatively wise decision. For example, the temporary governors established by the dynasties to facilitate cross-regional quelling rebellions, but these governors were all temporary positions. After the rebellion was quelled, the power would be taken back by the court.

Logically speaking, it should be very correct for Liu Yan to propose "Prince of the State", but what was the situation at this time of the Han Dynasty? Wang Fen, the governor of Jizhou, threatened with troops and wanted to abolish Emperor Liu Hong and establish a Marquis of Hefei, but no one stood up to object. This is almost another version of Dong Zhuo.

No one objected, which only means that the actions of Emperor Liu Hong disappointed countless bureaucrats and civil officials. Even if there was no rebellion in each state, the governors of each state would create some "rebels" and would recruit soldiers on this ground. Doesn't it take money and food to recruit soldiers? The world has not yet been in a real chaos, and the governors of each state have not reached the point where they can act recklessly, and they have to abide by the original rules of the game. These money and food can only be taxed to be sent to Luoyang, and because the governors of the state have become soldiers recruited by each state.

The establishment of the prefecture governor will only make the money and grain available in Luoyang less and less, and even completely cut off in the end. In the end, there will be only taxes from the Yin of Henan, which belongs to Luoyang.

Henan Yin has a total of 210,000 households, each with six people. In addition to a child under five years old and an elderly person who is too old, the 210,000 households need to pay an 8.4 million yuan tuition, which is 5.04 million yuan, and 63 million yuan tuition, and a total of 12.18 million yuan tuition.

The Han Dynasty had 30 taxes, and each acre of land produced three stones of grain, while the Han Dynasty had only 730 million mu of arable land. How much land can Henan Yin, who belongs to Luoyang, have? Only one-sixth of the entire Henan area can have 50 million mu of arable land? According to the 50 million mu of arable land, you can get taxes of 5 million stones of grain every year, and the price of each stone was 300 coins, totaling 150 million coins.

In other words, all the taxes are 160,000 yuan. Each recruited soldier is customized to 21 stone of grain, four liters of salt, eight thousand yuan of military salary, three thousand four hundred yuan of clothing, seven hundred yuan of a knife, six hundred yuan of a bow, and two thousand yuan of a worst crossbow. The soldiers are not equipped with war horses, armor, only a knife or spear, or just a bow and thirty arrows, and no oil or pickles are given to the soldiers, so they are allowed to eat steamed buns and drink cold water. This worst treatment alone requires 20,000 yuan per soldier.

A soldier costs 20,000 yuan, Meiyang camp has a total of 50,000 Han soldiers, Xiyuan Eighth camp has a total of 16,000 yuan, plus the guards at each city gate and the soldiers used by the palace, there are 10,000 yuan, right? In addition, Hu San and Dong Yao went south to Luoyang, there were 15,000 yuan, and these alone had 100,000 yuan, and these were 200,000 yuan. This was the treatment of soldiers who could only prevent people from starving to death.

There are 10,000 or 20,000 eunuchs in the palace. The treatment of these people is to eat steamed buns every day? Thousands of officials of all sizes in Luoyang also eat steamed buns every day?
