During the Han Dynasty, countless wealthy families were supported by the Han Dynasty. These families had unimaginable influence in the local area. Liu Yan knew very well what the support of countless families meant, but what she didn't know was that Dong Hu didn't care about this trick at all.

The world was in chaos, and the people were displaced in the war, which also destroyed the foundations of countless families.

Dong Zhuo and Dong Hu are doing things to destroy the foundations of countless families. Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Gongsun Zan, Cao Cao, Sun Ce, Tao Qian and others are also doing such things. In addition to the lucky families that depend on the princes, the rest... are just the fish of the princes.

The world is in chaos, and those with strong strength win. If you want to have strong strength, the most basic thing is to fill your stomach! But can the princes fill your stomach?

War is a bottomless pit. It is not only the army, but more about politics, economy, science and technology, diplomacy, and public opinion. The two sides compete with comprehensive strength.

Dong Hu was a warlord. As early as ten years ago, he was already a warlord. From the very beginning, he consciously strengthened the issue of core cohesion and was highly centralized in military and political affairs. Whether it was Liangzhou, Bingzhou, the entire Sili School Command, including Hanzhong County, these places were all places where people were caused by man-made disasters. The original superstructure was basically destroyed by others. Therefore, after he established an order, he became the core master of these places, and he was able to achieve "one-management" centralization.

However, his control over Chenliu County, Yingchuan County and Nanyang County was weaker. The reason was that some very influential families remained in these places. However, the Bingzhou, Liangzhou, and Sili School Officers controlled by Dong Hu were in a "one-man show" situation, even if the Sili School Officers were swallowed up for a short time.

Therefore, in terms of his own "politics", Dong Hu was able to easily mobilize all the manpower and material resources of the three states to engage in a war. Although the three states had less than four million people and could only be equivalent to one Qingzhou or Yanzhou, he could mobilize four million people to fight a war with one word, and none of Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao and others could do it. There were family ties within them. Even if the families attached to Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, they would be unable to fully unify their opinions because of the uncertainty of the outcome of the war.

In terms of military and political affairs, Dong Hu had a greater advantage, and in terms of economy he also had an advantage, which was similar to the foundation he laid in the early years. There were tens of millions of cattle and sheep in the grassland individual pasture alone. In the Central Plains, he could not allocate money and grain from Bingzhou and Liangzhou, but he took advantage of Dong Zhuo's move to the capital and occupied Yin Maizi in Henan. In two years, 20 million stones of grain were accumulated in Taicang, Luoyang to support his battle.

If he joined forces with the Yellow Turban Army of Qingzhou to attack Cao Cao last year, once he took Yanzhou before Cao Cao allowed the Qingzhou army to plunder the wealthy family in Yanzhou, it would mean that Dong Hu had to rescue millions of hungry people in Yanzhou, which would require at least tens of millions of stones of food to help Yanzhou.

But it is not necessary at this time. Even if some people need relief, there are absolutely no million hungry people. The relief time is at most half a year. Five million stones of relief grain is enough. In addition to deducting these, there are still 15 million stones of grain in Taicang.

A infantryman's normal ration is twenty-one stone, while a cavalry with one man and two cavalry needs ten times the rations, and the civilians transporting grain can be halved. In other words, his stock can supply 50,000 cavalry, 100,000 infantry, and 100,000 civilians to fight for one year.

This is in accordance with the existing "Ten Taxes and One" taxation policy, without significantly increasing the burden on the people, Dong Hu has the potential of "150,000 infantry and cavalry, and 100,000 civilians fighting for one year". With the integration of Chenliu, Yingchuan and Liang Kingdom, although some influential families in the three counties occupied the land and population and could not fully develop the potential for war as Henan Yin, they could more or less provide 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers and 20,000 yuan in money and food. If they could not even provide such a little tax, he would not mind using some insidious means to rectify those families.

Whether it is Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, or other princes, if they have not killed a large number of wealthy families and obtained countless fields, the population will directly take control, and the potential for war will never be developed. They are not as good as Dong Hu, who is the foresight in "economic and financial resources".

In terms of technology, Dong Hu is not afraid of anyone. Even if he does not have some knowledge from later generations, he is much better than others by relying solely on the craftsmen who belong to the arsenal.

He has great advantages in politics, military, economy and technology, but he was from a poor family and a military man in Liangzhou. He had inherent shortcomings in "diplomacy and public opinion", which he could not overcome. Some things can only be accomplished with the help of "the imperial court, the royal family of the Liu surname".

This is what he wanted to use the names of Liu Yue and Liu Yan to suppress Cao Cao's public opinion in the name of "Han Dynasty".

He didn't care that Liu Yan was eager to find Liu Yue, and he didn't care that Liu Yan used this incident to buy all the families in Yanzhou, and then gained the support of all the families in the world to continue to support the Han Dynasty under the war. He didn't mind the selfishness of the stinky girl. For him, these were all flowers in the moon in the water and fog.

The world is in chaos. In a chaotic world where soldiers and horses are kings, the richer they are to rival the country, the more dangerous it is. Unless such a family can be attached to a powerful warlord, but once they are attached to a warlord, how dare they choose to support the court led by Liu Xie against the wishes of the warlords?

In the chaotic times, when soldiers and horses are kings, families who are willing to support the court can only escape into families like Chenliu County. Although they have some fame, they have lost their strength and wealth. How much help can such a family help the court?

There will be no help. On the contrary, such families will be more eager for land and rights because they lose their foundation, which will further aggravate the chaos in the court.

Dong Hu didn't care about Liu Yan's little thoughts at all. For him, all her efforts were nothing, but this was not important. What was important was that Liu Yan, Liu Yue was the imperial princess. Although both of them became civilians, in the eyes of the people, in the eyes of the families of Yanzhou that suffered, and in the eyes of countless families of all sizes facing the suppression of the princes in each prefecture, as long as Liu Yan and Liu Yue went to Chenliu County, as long as the two deposed princesses were willing to stand up for them, that would be the imperial princess!

The two imperial princesses came forward to condemn Cao Cao's intentional plundering troops, which not only made the counties in Yanzhou turmoil, but also Dong Hu occupied the righteousness in public opinion, and sending troops to attack Cao Cao was also just!

If you can apply eye drops to Cao Cao in the name of the Han Dynasty, why not?

The army has gone to Chenliu County, and the official system reform has not been completed, but the candidates for the six ministries and cabinets have been determined. Cai Yong, who first came to Luoyang, had a fight with Dong Hu first. After Dong Hu took out the "Censor General" and Old Man Cai stopped making trouble.

The Censor Central Chief has great power. He supervised the governors of various states outside and the commander of the internal censors. He has a status as a member of the Secretariat and the Secretariat. He enjoyed a single seat in the Deyang Hall. He was a merger of the "Left and Left Censors" of the Ming Dynasty's Censors, and was equivalent to the chief officer of the Censors. This shows his great power.

The Three Dukes are the three troops of the empire, which is similar to the separation of three powers. The Three Dukes are not subordinate to each other, but the cabinet chief is different. The cabinet chief is like the imperial prime minister. Only when the three Dukes have all the rights together can they be better than the cabinet chief, and their power is much greater than that of the prime minister.

Dong Hu did not want the situation of "the king is weak, and the country is weak". He would rather his descendants be clay carvings and wood sculptures, nor would he want the country to harm the incompetence of his descendants. He consciously strengthened the cabinet's rights in one step, but he did not want the cabinet to be free of constraints, so he would rather be willing to justice be parallel to the cabinet. Therefore, he also built supervision agencies such as the Censorate, Dali Temple, Jinyiwei, Silijian, and Dongchang according to the practice of the Ming Dynasty.

Except for the Ming Dynasty, the supervision agencies of each dynasty did not have a statutory supervisory department. The reason why the Ming Dynasty solved these problems was that the Ming Dynasty saw the harm of the party struggles of the Song Dynasty.

The Censorate, Dali Temple, after all, is still civil officials. When facing the group of "civil officials", it is often impossible to truly objectively and independent, and it is easy to become a vassal of "civil officials". This is something that the Zhu family royal family cannot tolerate. Dong Hu definitely does not want this. He is more willing to be parallel to the cabinet and is an independent existence. Moreover, the secret organization of the Jinyiwei also needs strict constraints. Whether it is civil officials or military generals, they are not suitable for supervising the Jinyiwei. It is much more suitable for eunuchs who are relatively pure.

Cai Yong became the chief censor and the chief officer of the Censorate. The left censor was Ruan Yu and the right censor was Lu Cui from Chenliu. They were all his students. Old Man Cai was also very satisfied with Dong Hu's superiority. But it was said that Dong Hu used eunuchs again and even organized a Dongchang, which was of the same kind of inspection nature. Old Man Cai was not happy and pestered him for several days. Seeing that he was very determined, he had to give up in the end.

The first one to go to Luoyang was Cai Yong, the second one was Jia Xu, who became the Minister of Revenue, and the third one was Yan Zhong, the chief minister of the cabinet and the Minister of Rites...

Dong Hu has fewer available staff, and some important positions have to be held by veterans, women, and dolls. As the available staff increases, veterans and women will be gradually replaced and will be replaced in the military system, and will no longer hold important positions in the civil service system that governs the people.

The reform of the civil servants is more troublesome, far less simple than the military with stronger control. Some of the personnel arrangements that seem simple to him or even do not take a quarter of an hour to decide. They may have quarreled for several days.

The 50,000 army led the way to Chenliu County, but Dong Hu needed to deal with some logistics and supplies, and the public opinion war also took some time to prepare, so he was not in a hurry for the time being.

He was not in a hurry, but Cao Cao's nostrils were smoking, especially Liu Yue and Liu Yan, the two princesses who ran to Chenliu County, fled to Nanyang County and cried, and the whole Yanzhou was also turbulent due to the arrival of the two princesses. Cao Aman always pointed to Luoyang and cursed...

"Bang!"

Cao Cao slapped another heavy slap on the table.

"Short-sighted and vulgar!"

Cao Cao was so angry that his stomach hurt. The 50,000 elite infantry cavalry in Luoyang had already been killed in front of him, but Yuan Shao ignored it.

“Huhu…”

"Lintao kid... I really think you're afraid of being fucked!"

"Bang!"

Cao Cao was furious.

"Cao Ren, have the troops trained?"

Cao Cao directly called him, and Cao Ren hurriedly stepped forward.

"The lord can mobilize 30,000 troops at any time..."

"Not enough! Draw 100,000 immediately!"

Everyone was shocked, and Guo Jia stepped forward with a serious expression.

"My lord, please think twice. There are many Yellow Turban thieves in Dong Hu's army. The Qingzhou army has been joining our army for too short, so it is hard to say whether the Qingzhou army will flee in the face of the battle."

Cao Ren frowned and said, "If we say that Fengxiao, our army can have up to 10,000 soldiers and horses, but Dong Hu has 50,000, won't we be defeated?"

...

"Then Dong Hu has the entire arsenal of excellent weapons and armor, and the soldiers have been fighting for a long time. As the lord said, if there were no 100,000 soldiers and horses, he would probably not be able to fight them head-on."

"It's fine to go above the battle formation, but he just made many rumors, so that everyone in Yanzhou is uneasy. Once the lord goes to Chenliu to fight, Yanzhou may be in danger of any change."

"The officials thought that for the current plan, I had to wait for Yuan Shao and Tao Qian to rescue Yanzhou."

Guo Jia didn't have a good idea. He didn't expect Dong Hu to take action at this time, and even more surprised that he would let the two princesses go to Chenliu County.

Liu Yue and Liu Yan went to Chenliu County, which had a great impact on the nearby Jiyin County and Shanyang County, but this was not too fatal. What was fatal was that 50,000 troops had gathered in Chenliu County. In this way, Dong Hu not only occupied the justice of the court, but also had the ability to threaten the survival of Yanzhou...

"Bang!"

Cao Cao was particularly angry with Liu Yan and Liu Yue, and suddenly slapped the table.

"As a royal family member of the Liu family, he followed the thief and was in charge of the thief!"
