Tong Yuan informed Dong Bai that Li Dao sent people to ask for food without shame, and analyzed that Guo Wei provoked the Xinxi Liang Army, and it was estimated that it was also possible that Li Dao was behind it.

Dong Bai tugged at his sideburns and said with a little entanglement: "I also feel that my grandfather and everyone are gone, and these tigers and wolves are not really revenge for their grandfather at all, but they are fighting each other openly and secretly."

Tong Yuan thought to himself that this Dong Bai seemed to be born in the wrong era, and she was not suitable for being born in the world where Tong Yuan originally lived. On the contrary, it is most suitable to go to the martial arts world, where although the rivers and lakes are treacherous, but concentrating on cultivation will definitely be successful, not as depressed as it is now.

"Only tigers, leopards, and bears are not afraid of jackals, so we need strategy and strength to deal with them," he said. However, at this time, with the prestige of the gentleman, she can still suppress it, and she is not afraid that the other party will directly join her. It's just this grain and grass......"

Dong Bai said helplessly: "This grain is what we have accumulated with great difficulty in Xiayang, do we want to give them a part?" It seems that he gave the other party the truth without dividing. ”

Tong Yuan's eyes showed a resolute look, and he said: "You can't give them a single grain, on the contrary, we have to protect them strictly." But you can give them something else. ”

Dong Bai was surprised: "Give them something else?"

Tong Yuan said: "That's right, we can give up gold and silver to reward the lieutenant colonel and above in the army, so that the number is not large, but we can seal the other party's mouth."

Dong Bai said: "If it's just these ten people, it's no problem, but fortunately, it's not a reward for the whole army."

"The whole army is also very important, and you can use the fame of the Dong family to appease the sergeants and soldiers of the army and make a public speech. My analysis is not that the other side lacks food, but political security. ”

Dong Bai didn't quite understand, and Tong Yuan continued to explain.

"The 100,000 Xiliang soldiers followed Li Dao and the others mainly because they were afraid of Wang Yun and Lu Bu's slaughtering policies, in other words, they faced a huge threat. The promises of Li Dao and others must finally be recognized by the Son of Heaven and the imperial court. But there is a loophole that can be exploited, and that is that you can promise on behalf of the Dong family. ”

Tong Yuan was a little weak before he said this, but in ancient times, his name and background were really not empty promises.

"The encouragement of some lieutenants and military candidates is not the same as the promises from the Dong family and Weiyangjun. Although there is no change in this promise, people's hearts will be firmer, and they will also become revenge for Dong Taishi in the real sense. ”

Dong Bai finally understood a little, this speech and promise was a kind of recognition from the upper echelons than Li Dao and Guo Yan, and it was to personally thank the soldiers on behalf of the Dong family. The soldiers will also restore this level of contact with the Dong family because of this, and not just fight for self-preservation.

She suddenly realized and said, "I really didn't expect it, you can still think of this, how to do it?"

Tong Yuan said: "You can summon the generals in the camp tomorrow to give rewards, and then give speeches before the dinner, so that the name is justified, Li Dao, Guo Yan and others can only admit this reality."

"There is a third point, which is to divide the other side. Now that Guo Yan has made an enmity with us, he is narrow-minded and has no possibility of resolving it. Li Dao is our real opponent, he is powerful and resourceful, and we must be careful in the future. ”

"However, Zhang Ji previously sent Zhang Xiu to lead four or five thousand soldiers and horses to take the initiative to support us, which does mean respect, and in the long run, it can be our allies. But the most important thing is Jia Xu, Jia Wenhe. ”

Dong Bai was surprised: "He! This person has always been lukewarm, and he doesn't seem to have any soldiers. In my impression, this person's ancestor was Jia Yi, a famous man, and later moved his family to Wuwei, but his generation can only be regarded as a poor family. Why is this person the most important? ”

Tong Yuan thought to himself, "Needless to say, the poisoner Jia Xu is a ruthless person comparable to Chen Ping, especially good at analyzing psychology, and Kong Ming can't compare to this alone." ”

Tong Yuan said: "This talent is the only real talent among the other party, and his shelter under Li Dao is also a temporary move, but even so, with his strategy, he can have a counterattack on Chang'an today." In the future, we must subdue this man, and at least use our performance for now to keep him from being our enemy. ”

Dong Bai only knew half of it in the end, but Tong Yuan knew the key point, so he explained to Dong Bai like this......

On the second day, Dong Bai summoned the commanders of the whole army and above, except for a few people who were on guard in all directions of Chang'an City.

Dong Bai bowed in the middle and said: "The water source in Chang'an has been cut off for a few days, and I will soon be able to kill the traitors, support the government, and avenge my grandfather!"

"Bai Te's slight profits, although it is small, but please accept it, and in the future, I will definitely "do my best to help everyone to become officials and worship the marquis, and create the Han Dynasty together." ”

After that, Hu Cong brought more than ten plates of treasures, gold and silver to everyone, according to the weight of the estimated ten catties (Han catties), most of these people have not seen many good things, all excited, quickly knelt down to thank you, Dong Bai seriously returned the gift.

Dong Bai immediately summoned all the soldiers, of course, the 100,000 troops could not be assembled, let alone listen to Dong Bai's speech, but Tong Yuan had already made arrangements.

I saw that the new Xiliang soldiers were all in good spirits, among which more than 100 people with loud voices were selected to run out of the ranks neatly, and ran in front of the columns of the Xiliang Army at the same pace, each of them faced 500 people, and the others gathered around Dong Bai and Tong Yuan, holding high the banner and the big line, and the whole process was completed in one go, which seemed to be well-trained.

This was rehearsed last night, just like the evening drill before the military training review. This level is no longer a problem for Tong Yuan, who participated in military training in later generations and watched wonderful military parades on TV, but it is an eye-opener for these generals and colonels who do not pay attention to grassroots soldiers.

Before they could exchange feelings and comments, Dong Bai began to speak. The more than 100 soldiers who were selected had already memorized the speeches and brought these tens of thousands of troops a simultaneous interpretation of the Xiliang heroic version.

"I am the granddaughter of Mrs. Dong, Weiyang Jun Dong Bai. I would like to make three points: First, traitors in the DPRK and China who plot to kill us must be eliminated. Second, our border army is a hero of the Han Dynasty and should be rewarded. Third, our generation must not be displaced, but must divide the land and settle down. Get rid of the traitors, give rewards, and divide the land! ”

"Get rid of the traitors, give rewards, and divide the land!"

The Xinxi Liang sergeants shouted in unison according to the agreed slogan.

"Get rid of the traitors, give rewards, and divide the land!"

More soldiers joined in the shouting, after all, these three points covered almost everyone's demands.

They are either worried about the safety of themselves and their families, or they have been fighting for many years to get a higher position, or they want to return to their hometowns when they are getting older, but because of the rebels, they can only barely shelter, and they want to get land to settle down.
