Chapter 452 Turn the Dong family into a relative [Chapter 2]

In the era of cold weapons, even if you command a million troops, you must always be ready to collide with others with swords and swords. Practicing martial arts is to save your life, not to show your heroism. Using personal courage to boost morale can only prove that the army is a group of mobs.

One, two, two, three, two, three, four, four, five, and six, Zhang Fei. Dong Hu recognized this ranking. The advantages and disadvantages can be seen by the weapons used alone. Lu Bu and Dian Wei used halberds, one was a long, and the other was a short-handed halberd. It was not easy to break through such weapons to defend. The weapons used by Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, Ma Chao, and Zhang Fei were all conventional weapons for cavalry battles. The four of them were from chaotic border areas and had a lot of experience in fighting, but he did not think that these people's ability to fight alone must be better than that of the generals under Dong Zhuo.

Liangzhou is easy to be in chaos. Even if it is not the time when the thief rebels, it often happens that others rob halfway. It is normal to draw a sword and chop it whenever he disagrees. Just because Yan Xing, the young general under Han Sui almost killed Ma Chao, you should know that there is no shortage of fierce generals in Liangzhou. Yan Xing and Ma Chao are all younger generations in front of Dong Zhuo, Xu Rong, Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou, Hu Zhen, Zhang Ji and others, and they are not as good as Dong Hu, but Xu Rong, Li Jue, Guo Si and others have passed the peak period of force.

There are talented people in the country who have emerged for more than ten years.

The peak period of personal force is only about ten years, but if you are a general who commands the army and fights, the older you are, the more experience you have, the more difficult it will be to deal with it. This is the path that Dong Hu expects to take.

Lu Bu’s personal force is undoubtedly worth it, it is this character... At least Dong Hu is extremely repulsive, and the killing of his father is too neat!

In order to avoid the scene of "killing Hua Xiong", Lu Bu, who was wearing old man's face, was a little scared. He didn't understand how the man who was talking and laughing in front of him knew him well. And he could just take a look at his weapons and guess his abilities.

The old face is black, but he dare not look down on it in his heart.

Perhaps because Lu Bu became Dong Zhuo's adopted son, the temporary residence was very close to Dong Zhuo's residence. When he arrived in front of his home, he only punched Dong Hu, said "big brother" to Dong Mao and left with him. Dong Mao lived in Sun Niu's military camp. Perhaps this was related to his being the chief supervisor of Dong Buyi.

The two of them came to Sunniu's military camp. Except for Sunniu, the rest of the generals returned to the camp to rest one by one...

"Dad..."

"Tiger Daddy..."

After not seeing each other for a year, Xiao Dongbai grew a little taller. When he heard "Tiger Daddy", Dong Hu's mouth was grinning and hurriedly took out milk candy and beef jerky marching dry food from his arms.

"Dad Huwa is eager to come... Oh by the way, your big girl made a flowery cotton jacket for Bai'er all night. It looks very warm... I'm so arrogant, go and take our bags!"

Dong Bai, who was only ten years old, was an appointed daughter-in-law. Dong Hu was so fond of him. While taking out the delicious food in his arms, Nengchen Di asked Nengchen Di to get his bag. Nengchen Di was from Wuwan, Daijun. He was very strong and looked like a good seedling for martial arts. But no one taught martial arts. If he hadn't been by his side, he would at most be a powerful general and a general who only fought with brute force in his life.

After watching the half-year-old man run away with his fists, Dong Mao just smiled and said no polite words. The two brothers didn't care about these things at all.

Little Dong Bai was almost the one who grew up when Dong Hu watched her grow up and loved her very much. How could she want the little girl to blow the cold wind outside?

Several people entered the courtyard together. The courtyard was not big and ordinary, far from being as luxurious as Dong Zhuo's temporary residence, but just a few simple houses. The Wuhuan woman was still as capable as before. If she hadn't known her true nature and only looked at her current Han costume, who would have known that she was a barbarian woman who could wield dozens of kilograms of big swords?

The woman seemed to know that the two brothers had drunk a lot of alcohol outside and brought some hot water to the two of them. She took the young Dongbai to another house, leaving them enough space for chatting.

"well……"

Dong Mao suddenly sighed, and Dong Hu turned to look in surprise.

"We always think... my father might be wrong. He shouldn't have entered Luoyang at all, let alone become the Grand Marshal..."

Dong Hu was a little different from Dong Mao's words, but he said without comment: "Everything has both pros and cons. My brother noticed the dangers in the Dong family and felt uneasy. Then he felt that his uncle might be wrong. But my brother should also know that his uncle's wish was not only his uncle's wish, but also the wishes of many generals behind him."

"Is your wishes the same?" Dong Mao turned his head to look at Dong Hu, with a serious expression.

Dong Hu thought about it carefully and said, "Brother came a few days earlier than us. I think my brother has also noticed the signs of chaos in the world."

Guxu

"The Han Dynasty has been established for four hundred years, and there are countless people who have been granted titles. As we say in public today, the people's thirty taxes and one tax may not seem to be much, but the burden is extremely heavy. They need to pay at least 50% of the tenant rent and need to support countless princes. How much food can they be left in the year?"

"The major families are very clear that the people can no longer squeeze out the oil and water, that is to say... the taxes of the court cannot be increased on the basis of the current level. Once the taxes are increased, all kinds of rebellions will be created. However, the court is actually increasing the titles of marquis, and the taxes will definitely be decreasing."

"This is like a vicious cycle. When all the people in the world become tenants, food households and food households, the world will be reshuffled, dynasty will be changed, and countless princes, landlords and wealthy households will be killed through war, killing and death."

"Only by removing a considerable number of princes, landlords, and wealthy families, the country's taxes can restore the amount they should have, and the people can have money, grain, and raise babies, and eat and wear warmth."

Dong Mao frowned, and finally nodded silently, agreeing with his words. Dong Hu put the brazier in front of him as he spoke...

"The Han Dynasty has been suffering from a lot of problems after four hundred years. When the late emperor sold the three kings, his brother should have known how the court was short of money."

"The eunuch died and no one took away money for the emperor. If you want to add extra money to the inner treasury, don't think about it. What about the outer treasury? Can the outer treasury increase the money? Obviously it is impossible, and it will only get less and less. But how can such a little money maintain the normal operation of a huge empire?"

"These are just bad finances of the empire, and there are already local princes like Huwa? Are they still willing to obey the court? The empire is so difficult, can the civil and military officials and purgatory scholars in the court speak in unison, and do not fight for power?"

"Uncle is unwilling to continue to obey He Jin, Yuan Wei, then Ding Yuan is really a loyal minister, how could he set fire to force the empress dowager and emperor? If he can be the lord, he can do it countless times. Then Ding Yuan is only the second uncle. The only difference is that he is not strong enough and has never fought his uncle."

"The military generals have already become more independent, and civil servants are still fighting for power and profit from each other. In addition, the imperial taxes are insufficient and the treasury is empty. How can the world not be in chaos?"

"The world is inevitable. The generals of Liangzhou have only two ways left. One is to be a prince in one place, and use the Liang merger to seize the three auxiliary guards of Chang'an, and use the Qin to develop the Guanzhong area to start the dispute between the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The second is to use the great power of the court to use the emperor to command the princes to rebel, and fight against whoever dares to rebel."

Dong Hu turned his head and looked at Dong Mao who was frowning.

"My brother knew about the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. If Qin was strong, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty could join forces to attack Qin. The past lessons of the Ches were learned from the Ches. Yesterday's Qin is the us today."

"Half an hour ago, we were still old with our uncle Yan. My uncle is sixty years old this year. My third uncle is even less prestige than Niu Fu, Xu Rong, Hu Zhen, Li Jue and others in the army. My brother doesn't know how to fight in battle. If my uncle is there, he can suppress everyone. If he is gone... what will happen?"

"If the Dong family is doing the Qin State, the best ending is to focus on our tiger kids... If we say such words, my brother should not be displeased. Some things do not follow others' wishes. If the uncle is gone, it would be fine if the third uncle or the eldest son has enough prestige, but once there is no, Xu Rong, Niu Fu, Li Jue, Guo Si, Zhang Ji and others will be in chaos and will fight us. If we win, the generals below will push us further."

Dong Mao sighed in his heart, reached out and patted Dong Hu on the shoulder, knowing that what he said was right. If Fatty Li had not done anything back then, the Lintao generals who had occupied absolute power from the army would not have been separated from the Dong family.

People are selfish, and everyone wants to go further. Even if Dong Hu is unwilling, once Dong Zhuo dies, the Liangzhou army will inevitably have internal fighting, unless Dong Min and Dong Mao have the prestige to make everyone surrender. This kind of thing is not a matter of loyalty or unfaithfulness, but the urinary nature of Liangzhou people, which is the same as that of Xianbei and Wuwan people. If it only surrenders to the strong, it will be difficult for the declining Xiongnu people to happen. Even if it happens, it is a matter within the Xiongnu Golden Family.

This is the nature of the Liangzhou people. Once Dong Hu wins, he will be the leader of the Liangzhou army, regardless of whether he wants it or not.

The two brothers have their minds on the same channel, and there are some things that need not be said much, and they are naturally like a mirror in their hearts.

"It is not a good thing to be a prince in one place, both for the Dong family and for our Liangzhou army. But what if my uncle is still a Han minister? Or if he is a general, prime minister, and grand sect of the Han Dynasty, these problems are no longer problems."

"Today we told my uncle that the daughter of the third uncle can marry the emperor as a concubine and queen, so that the uncle will become the legal general, the third uncle can be the general of cavalry, and the older brother can be the general of chariots. Even if my uncle has an accident, there will be the third uncle and the older brother to succeed the general."

"If my uncle dies of illness, neither my third uncle nor my brother will have much prestige. At least that's the case now. It is particularly difficult to suppress all the generals and be obedient. But if my third uncle is standing behind the Han Dynasty, with the support of the emperor, the generals will have to bow down and surrender."

Dong Mao completely understood Dong Hu's intentions. Niu Fu and others have been following Dong Zhuo for more than ten years. Naturally, they hoped that Dong Zhuo would be the Grand Marshal and Prime Minister. Only in this way can they become members of the court and no longer be innocent people.

For the generals of Liangzhou, Dong Zhuo has great benefits, and for the Dong Zhuo and the Dong family, there are also many benefits. Once Dong Min marrys his daughter, the Dong family will become a family of relatives. Even if Dong Zhuo dies, Dong Min, Dong Mao and even Dong Huang can inherit the throne of the general and maintain the Liangzhou army without chaos.
