On the north side of the city that day, the two armies of Tong Yuan and Guo Yan dispersed unhappily. Dong Bai had no choice but to order the two divisions to take turns to fight, today Tong Yuan and others temporarily rested and guarded against enemy reinforcements, while Guo Yan attacked slightly and was vigilant to break through the city. Tomorrow the two armies will be reversed again.

Tong Yuan's attention was also focused on continuing the siege and attack, and he thought more long-term. According to the development of the situation, Wang Yun and Lu Bu will definitely not be able to hold it, and in the end, Li Dao and Guo Bi will hold the government for four years.

There are three urgent things to think about right now. First, how to maximize the benefits in the Battle of Chang'an. Second, how to strengthen one's own troops and forces as soon as possible. Third, whether to compete with Li Dao, Guo Yan and others for control of the imperial court.

The first thing, Dong Bai's primary goal must be to kill Wang Yun, Lu Bu and others to avenge Dong Zhuo. Wang Yun must be eliminated, but Lu Bu ...... It's better not to run out of the way.

I remember that Li Dao, Guo Yan and others directly controlled the imperial court through this war, and they held important official positions and controlled a large number of soldiers and horses. Do you want to be like them? I'm afraid there is something else that has been forgotten.

The second thing is that Tong Yuan knows that the troubled times have risen, and at this time soldiers and horses are kings, which is also Li Wei's biggest reliance now. How do you have a place and how do you train an excellent soldier? At present, the Xinxi Liang Army is far from enough.

The third thing, I am afraid that anyone who knows a little about the history of the Three Kingdoms will try to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes when they come to this era. But why did Cao Cao really do it after four years? Because he not only has the strength to control the court, but also can recruit non-ministers.

If you can't do these two things at the same time, you can only call it coercing the Son of Heaven, but you can't order the princes.

But Tong Yuan's side doesn't talk about these two points, even it is completely impossible to coerce the Son of Heaven. Guo Yan's actions today released an obvious signal, that is, the generals of Xiliang did not want to have another Dong Zhuo to lead them at all, and whoever hindered them would get rid of him.

This time, he only temporarily suppressed Guo Yan, but in fact, he had already made a feud, and others such as Li Dao, Fan Chou and others were probably eyeing each other and keeping a guard against themselves and Dong Bai.

Do you want to subdue the people? Absolutely! It can only be done in dreams.

"Report! I told the captain that I don't know who spread rumors that our army has plenty of food and grass. General Li Wei sent someone over to say that the cost of 100,000 troops was huge, and he wanted our army to allocate some to show the benevolence and righteousness of the Dong family and Weiyang Jun. ”

"It's hard work, I'll find a way to deal with this big thing."

In the past, the herald was very uncomfortable with Tong Yuan's answer, but after contacting him for a while, he found that Tong Yuan really respected and cared for his pawns, instead of pretending to be close, and now he respects Tong Yuan even more.

I really didn't expect that the second move would come so soon, Li Dao is really known for being insidious and wise.

Although his own military rations are quite sufficient, they are all accumulated through hard work and paid on the spot, and if they are distributed, they will definitely be tight, not to mention, it is equivalent to indirectly admitting that Li Dao is the boss and is being led by the other party.

What made Tong Yuan even more angry was that although Li Dao and others had many soldiers, they had plundered Sili, Sanfu and other places, and there was definitely no shortage of food at all.

Tong Yuan communicated with Zhang Ji before and learned that although the border has gradually fallen in recent years, there are still hundreds of thousands of households in the Sanfu area, and the grain production is abundant. But his knowledge of history told him that in a few years, it would be reduced to tens of thousands of households.

In other words, Li Dao and others' nearly 100,000 Xiliang professional soldiers were different from Yuan Shao and Cao Cao after that, they were not engaged in production at all, and the grain produced in this area was fed to them in the end, and the people only died or fled......

Tong Yuan stood by the tent, looking around, there were no crops and trees on the vast land, and he didn't know what kind of miserable image Si Li was.

He made up his mind that not a single grain of grain could be given to Li Dao and the others, not only because food was extremely precious in this troubled world, but also because these soldiers and horses were not his own people or future allies at all.

In the evening, Tong Yuan and Dong Bai had dinner together, and the two sat side by side at the same table, setting up two cases to eat. Of course, Tong Yuan could only endure the discomfort in his legs.

Although Dong Bai is noble and capricious, he is quite able to adapt to the military camp, and the Dong family has resolutely not used handmaidens since Dong Zhuo was assassinated.

She concentrates on martial arts and revenge, and during these days, her delicate aura has gradually faded, but she looks heroic and capable.

Tong Yuan observed her sluggishly for a while, didn't move his meal, and forgot about important things for a while. Dong Bai didn't have any embarrassment and shyness, and after seeing it, he said: "Let's eat quickly, discuss important matters quickly, and avenge our family earlier."

He hurried to eat, only to see that there was only a small tripod on the desk, which was a hot pot food in later generations, with a little mutton and radish in it, and it was accompanied by dipping salt and meat sauce, and the staple food was the most common corn rice in the army.

Tong Yuan was slightly surprised, Dong Baigui actually ate such an ordinary dish and a meal for Weiyang Jun, in fact, he didn't know that Dong Zhuo's family was only a strong Lintao hero, not from a family or a Dashi family, and there was no extravagance.

It was only later that Dong Zhuo's high power gradually became corrupted, and he was extremely eager to build a dock and include treasures from all over the world. Dong Zhuo's mother, Chi Yangjun, didn't like to engage in luxury, and warned Dong Zhuo that he didn't feel like this, but unfortunately he was not listened to.

Dong Bai has lived at home since she was a child, and her family affairs are arranged by her great-grandmother, so although she is rude and willful, she does not like extravagance.

The two began to eat, and Tong Yuan took a small bite of boiled mutton first.

As soon as I took my mouth, I felt that the tender fragrance immediately penetrated from my lips into my throat. After a seemingly simple boiling in Dingnai, the unique richness and deliciousness of mutton fat are brought into full play.

He chewed repeatedly, reluctant to swallow, and suddenly felt that he had never eaten such a delicious food in the modern Fujian and Zhejiang regions where he once lived.

Although the radish is very ordinary, the radish melts in his mouth, and the juice of the meat and vegetables is just right, soaking the whole mouth, which makes his slightly irritable mood melt. Turnips weren't originally his thing, but relaxing at the moment refreshed him.

It's a pity that they didn't have much time to savor it, and after a quick meal, the two began to discuss the day's affairs.

Dong Bai opened the topic first: "Today, Guo Yan dares to provoke you and me, I really don't know whether to live or die!" ”

However, she suddenly smiled happily: "It's a competition to solve the problem, which is very interesting, hehe." ”

Tong Yuan knew that Dong Bai's behavior was strange, although he was generally solemn, but more obsessed with fighting.

He said: "Guo Yan was temporarily shocked, and the other leaders probably didn't dare to come forward again, but the most insidious and powerful guy stumbled again." ”

Dong Bai said: "Is it Li Dao?" I also thought that he was honest on the surface, but in fact he had a bad idea, what did he do this time? ”
