Chapter 51 Asking for the right to fight independently
Dong Hu looked at the silent Dong, stood up from half-kneeling, and helped Dong, who had become thinner, sit up, and let her rely on him.
"Aunt, for Huwa, the best strategy is for the imperial court or the army to quell the rebellion. Huwa can successfully enter the Hehuang Valley, sweep from east to west, and plunder all tribes that can be seen, cattle and sheep, and then Huwa goes from Longqi City to the Plateau in the south of Yugu. Huwa snatched everyone and robbed him of millions of cattle and sheep and ran away."
"Zhongce, Huwa will go west from the Ganlang Valley, enter the Shaodang Qiang tribe, and rob the east from the westernmost end of the Hehuang Valley. However, Huwa will eventually collide with the tens of thousands of troops of Shaodang Lao Wang and Beigong Boyu who were rushing to rescue him. No matter what the outcome of this battle, Hehuang Qiang will lose."
"The worst strategy is to lead troops to Didao."
"Auntie, look..."
"What we Huwa thinks is the best strategy, the core is the court, the army to suppress the rebellion and cooperate with us, and without talking about the nothing happened to the court, then Huangfu Song is willing to cooperate with us, who is not a single baby? If we really succeed, how can others have the face?"
"Zhongce... Zhongce takes too much time. Huwa needs to drive cattle and sheep for thousands of miles, which takes several months. Moreover, this kind of rushing attack is probably a Western-style product at first glance. He must think that his uncle's lies to make up for the 'failed' plan in Jishishan! I guess the court will be even more angry. Can uncle support Huwa's rushing attack for several months?"
Dong Hu thought for a while and sighed.
"In Huwa's opinion, my uncle may find it difficult to support Huwa for several months, and after half a year of raid, he was only a small defeat. Moreover, it was a battle between the enemy and us. At this time, he had to punish the generals in command. As my aunt said, my uncle needs a victory to block others' mouths."
Dong patted his big hand and smiled and said, "Have you decided?"
"Aunt, Huwa really doesn't want to go to Didao. If Auntie must ask Huwa to go, in addition to giving us 30,000 stones of food, Auntie also has to agree to Huwa's condition, otherwise... Otherwise, Huwa would rather go to Jishishan without the cooperation of the court."
Dong clapped his big hand again.
"childish."
"Tell me, what do you want your aunt?"
Dong Hu scratched his head and said, "Thuwa has almost five thousand soldiers and horses in his hands..."
"Five thousand?"
Not only was Dong stunned, but even Dong Zhong, who had been bent and stood beside him, couldn't help but exclaim.
Dong Hu looked at Dong Zhong and nodded with a bitter smile.
"It's five thousand."
Dong Hu said: "The first cavalry battalion has a thousand people, the second cavalry battalion has two thousand female cavalry battalion, and the first infantry battalion has two thousand infantrymen in Hukou Fort. If it weren't for the third battalion, there were too many fleeing soldiers in the fourth battalion, and Huwa can have six thousand soldiers."
"Thuwa went to Baima Qiang and told Lao Wang about the incident in Ganlang Valley. Lao Wang also agreed to take care of Huwa for a year. No one would provoke Ganlang Valley for at least one year."
"If you don't fight in this battle, you'll have to use all your strength and add fuel to the tactics, which will only drag us to death."
Dong Hu looked at the woman whose head turned pale for a few months and sighed: "Although Huwa has five thousand soldiers, the ingredients are mixed. My aunt knows who the two thousand infantrymen of the Hukou Fort are. The two thousand women in the cavalry are green and strong women from Ganlang Valley, and most of the remaining ones are surrendered to Jishishan. It is difficult to merge such a complex five thousand soldiers in a short time. If Huwa ran to Didao, if his uncle was bewitched by others, it would be good if Huwa did not die in Didao, let alone help his uncle."
"If my aunt wants Huwa to go to Didao, Huwa dare not disobey her aunt's words, but my aunt has to agree that Huwa can lead soldiers alone, Huwa can be a general under the name of his uncle, and the eldest son can also be Huwa's lord, but our Huwa must maintain independent military power."
Dong Hu lowered his head and said, "It's not that our tiger baby has any bad intentions, but that our tiger baby cannot be confused, not only because of our uncle, but also because of the future of Lintao and the Han Dynasty."
Dong's expression was solemn and said softly: "Thuwa said it, aunt wants to hear your plans."
Dong Hu was silent and sighed.
"well……"
"Kuwa is a poor woman. Huwa admits that she is our woman, and there are many reasons, such as Huwa doesn't want the mercenaries to have too much appetite, and doesn't want the mercenaries to slaughter all the more than 10,000 women and children in the Ganlang Valley."
"Soldiers have an appetite, and their appetite will become bigger and bigger. If they are not controlled, they will eventually drag themselves to death."
"According to the rules set by Huwa, 400,000 cattle and sheep can be obtained at one time. 400,000 cattle and sheep can be obtained at one time. 40% of the harvest is a huge fortune. It is enough for all the mercenaries to go home to herd sheep and become masters. This is only one of the reasons. Also, the current rebellion of Hehuang Qiang. If we slaughtered 10,000 or 20,000 people in Ganlang Valley, what would the other Qiang tribes think? Will they turn from hesitation to firmly hate the Han Dynasty?"
"There is also... Huwa wants to build an isolation belt outside Lintao, and he doesn't want to interfere with Huwa's private assignment and get an excuse."
"If Huwa doesn't talk about the isolation belt, my aunt can understand that Huwa married Kuwa and became the leader of Ganlang Valley, the lord and the clan leader. Even if Huwa distributes cattle and sheep in the clan, it is his own business and the court will not care about it."
Dong Hu scratched his head and said, "Huwa changed the Ganlang Qiang to the Dong tribe. In the future, it will be a tribe of the Gaoyuan Qiang tribe. It is... the Yicong tribe of the Dong family. The men in Ganlang Valley were beaten to death by Huwa, leaving only two thousand young and strong women, two thousand female cavalry camps, one thousand male cavalry camps, and two thousand mercenary legion infantry camps. They are fragile and mutually restrictive and balanced. Once broken, once they are intervened, Ganlang Valley may be gone."
"There is no more than the southern barrier in Lintao, and the Dong family has no more than the Yishou division. In the future, the situation may become the scene of the Shenlang Valley attacking Lintao from time to time."
Dong Hu was silent for a moment and said, "Huwa is the ethical subordinate of the Dong family. You can obey your uncle, you can obey your aunt, or you can obey your eldest son. That's because the generation of Huwa's father was his aunt's kindness, but our Huwa is not Niu Fu, Xu Rong, Li Jue, and Guo Si's kindness!"
"We Huwa can obey our uncle's military orders. We can fight anyone we want to defend, but Huwa must be independent of the army's command power, and others cannot interfere in our command of the war."
Dong smiled and nodded, saying, "Thuwa has said so much to her aunt. My aunt is happy from the bottom of her heart. You are indeed capable of commanding the army."
Dong Zhong, who had been silent, spoke up.
"Madam, just relying on the three strategies of Huwa's top, middle and lower, I feel that Huwa is no worse than the generals under the master's name, and Dongbu Yicheng is really not suitable for others to intervene."
Dong nodded slightly and said, "Prepare the food and supplies needed by Huwa. In the future, you will personally take the three strategies of Huwa's upper, middle and lower to Didao. The five thousand army will take some time to go to war. Let the master make a decision. After the master makes a decision, he must return as soon as possible."
"promise!"
Dong Zhong agreed with his fists. Dong clapped Dong Hu's big hand twice.
"Don't run around these days. Mao'er's yard is empty. Just live in Mao'er's yard and spend more time with your aunt. There is no need to do anything wrong with me. Let the people below do it."
