Chapter 70: Weighing the Pros and Cons
"Although there are advantages and disadvantages to occupying Northland County, this advantage is far better than the other three disadvantages, and a certain family should choose to capture Northland!" Dong Zhuo did not hesitate at all, and said categorically.
"In that case, please listen carefully.
Beidi County has been based on Lingqiang for more than 40 years, and has already become a great wilderness, and Beidi now only has the three cities of Fuping, Lingzhou and Lianxian along the northern river, and the three cities of Niyang, Pengyang and Yiju along the muddy water in the south.
There are only a few small tribes in the three cities of Niyang in the muddy water basin in the south, and if you want to come to Hua, you can take them down in a few days, but you don't have to worry too much, and I think that General Laihua's headache now is probably how to deal with those Qiang people.
The three cities of Lian County, Lingzhou, Fuping, along the northern river, are the main gathering places of Xianlingqiang, with a large population, and can gather 200,000 troops in a short time, and it is even rumored that its patriarch Li Renxiao is even more courageous, I am afraid that it is not under General Hua, but it is a little tricky! ”
"The resettlement problem of the Qiang people in the muddy water basin is easy to solve." Dong Zhuo thought for a moment, and immediately thought about it, "You can gather the Qiang people in the three cities of the muddy water basin, teach them the method of farming, let them open up wasteland, grow food, and at the same time, you can also let them herd cattle and sheep while they are idle, and promise them that they can be exempted from taxes for the first three years!" ”
Jia Xu added: "The lord's plan is very good, if the lord can select some strong men among these Qiang people, form a regular army, and select their outstanding ones to give official positions, not only can he appease the Qiang people, but also add another army of tigers and wolves under the lord's command!" ”
I didn't want Dong Zhuo to retort: "If it is based on Wenhe's plan to gather the Qiang people together, I am afraid that it will be easy to cause trouble, it is better to directly disrupt these Qiang people into our army, wouldn't it be easier to control?" ”
Jia Xu shook his head and said, "The lord has ignored a little. ”
"Someone overlooked?"
"Yes, the lord's idea is good, but the time is not yet ripe!"
Jia Xu couldn't see the expression on his face, and said, "The lord originally wanted the Qiang and Han people to live together in the same army, so that they could become born and die together. ”
When Dong Zhuo heard this, he was in a cold sweat, and secretly scarlet his belly, it seemed that Lao Tzu was too anxious, and he imagined the knowledge of the soldiers too high, and he had to find a way to improve the cultural literacy and moral knowledge of the soldiers in the future, and build a high-quality new team.
Immediately, Dong Zhuo took Jia Xu's hand and said cordially: "It's that a certain family is too anxious, but fortunately there is a text and a reminder, otherwise it will almost make a big mistake." ”
Jia Xu was flattered, and hurriedly saluted: "Worrying about the Lord is where the duty of the next one lies!" ”
This old fox, has you watched too much "Lao Tzu", and it doesn't take credit at all.
Dong Zhuo scolded secretly in his heart, his face was silent, and said: "Since the problem of the first zero Qiang in the muddy water basin has been solved, how to solve the first zero Qiang on the bank of the river, and Wen He can have a countermeasure?" ”
Jia Xu said: "Li Renxiao is so brave and ruthless, if he can be subdued, there will be more good generals under the command of the lord, and he can also solve the affairs of the northern land without blood!" ”
After thinking about it for a while, Dong Zhuo said leisurely: "In this case, a certain family will rush to the north tomorrow to subdue that Li Renxiao." ”
Jia Xu smiled and said: "The lord personally goes out on the horse, and he will naturally succeed!" ”
…………
The next day, the summer was rising, and although it was just the time of arrival, Jicheng could still feel a trace of heat.
In the Liangzhou pastoral hall, Yang Fu, Jiang Xu, Zhao Ang and others were invited by Dong Zhuo early in the morning.
"Brother, what is the matter with the Lord summoning us here?" Later, after Jiang Yu and a few people present saw the salute, he asked his brother Jiang Xu, who was closing his eyes and recuperating.
Jiang Xu slowly opened his eyes and said lightly, "I don't know, just wait!" Then he closed his eyes again, silent.
Jiang Yan shook his head helplessly, walked to his seat and sat down.
After a while, Yan Zhong and Yin Feng also walked into the lobby, and several people got up to salute, Jiang Yi said: "Yuan Ligong, even you are here, it seems that the lord has something important to discuss with us!" ”
"Zhong Yi, sometimes it's not good to talk too much, just do more things." Yan Zhong looked at Jiang Yu and told him seriously.
Jiang Yan smiled wryly, and said busily: "What Yuan Ligong taught is that the kid knows!" ”
Just after everyone sat down again, Dong Zhuo strode into the lobby, followed by Wei Qi.
"Meet the Lord!"
After seeing Dong Zhuo come in, everyone hurriedly got up and saluted.
Dong Zhuo helped Yan Zhong up, and then said to everyone: "Everyone is exempt!" ”
After sitting down on the main seat, Dong Zhuo went straight to the point and said: "I called everyone here today, because a certain family plans to personally send troops to the north, and I specially invite everyone to come and discuss it!" ”
"How many soldiers and horses does the lord plan to bring with him when he goes to the north this time?" The newcomers present looked at each other, and finally Yan Zhong, who was highly respected, opened his mouth and asked implicitly.
Freezing Dong Zhuo saw the appearance of everyone, and he understood what they thought.
Now the ten counties of Xiliang are two subject countries, and only Hanyang County is really in the hands of Dong Zhuo, the Liangzhou herd, and although Hanyang County is the richest county among the Liangzhou counties, there are not many soldiers and horses.
Dong Zhuo didn't break everyone's minds, and said with a smile: "General Xizhong Lang Huaxiong has already led 20,000 soldiers and horses into the northland first, and a certain family only needs to lead hundreds of horsemen to the northland this time." ”
When everyone heard this, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then became nervous again, Jiang Xu frowned and said: "There are Qiang people in the two counties of Anding in the north, and the lord only brings hundreds of horses, I'm afraid it's not appropriate." ”
"It's okay!"
Dong Zhuo waved his hand and said with a smile: "A certain family leads hundreds of riders, travels 300 miles a day, and can reach Niyang in three days!" ”
Jiang Xu saw that Dong Zhuo's plan had been decided, so he knew that he couldn't change it, so he immediately got up, bowed his hand, and asked: "Since this is the case, the last general will ask to accompany him!" ”
"We are all willing to go with us!"
The rest of Zhao Ang, Yin Feng, Zhao Qu, and Jiang Yu saw Jiang Xu like this, and they all got up and agreed.
Dong Zhuo said: "You don't need many people to go here, and Hanyang can't be guarded unguarded, just Jiang Xu can accompany him, and the rest of the people will be stationed in Hanyang." ”
"The last general commands!" Jiang Xu showed a touch of joy on his face, and hurriedly received his order to thank him.
"I'll do as I was told!" Zhao Ang and the others were not as good-looking as Jiang Xu, and they all drooped their heads in response.
Dong Zhuo didn't care whether Zhao Ang and the others were happy, and then arranged: "With Yan Zhong as the driver of Liangzhou, Wei Qi as the ruler, Jia Xu as the military advisor to sacrifice wine, and the general leader of Liangzhou's major events!" ”
Yan Zhong, Wei Qi, and Jia Xu stood up and saluted, and thanked them: "I'll take the order!" ”
"Yang Fu is the long history of Hanyang, leading the Ji County Order, and handling Hanyang government affairs!"
"The subordinate officer receives the order!"
"Zhao Ang led 3,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Jicheng, Yin Feng led 3,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Licheng, Jiang Yi and Zhao Qu each led 1,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Shangqi and Longxian in case of accidents!"
"The last general commands!" The four generals stepped forward and bowed their hands, responding sonorously.
"Jiang Xu, you immediately go and order all five hundred iron horsemen, and order everyone to bring enough dry food and clean water for three days, the so-called soldiers are fast, I will set off immediately after waiting for an hour!"
"Whoa!"
Jiang Xu responded and quickly walked out of the lobby.
"Everyone, after a certain family goes on the expedition, all the affairs of Liangzhou will be entrusted to you!" Dong Zhuo stood up from his seat, saluted everyone, and said in a deep voice.
A group of people, including Wei Qi Jia Xu, stood up in unison, bowed their hands back, and said loudly: "Dare not obey your fate!" ”
