Only Dong Zhuo and Guo Yi were left in the tent, the stove was burning brightly, and the charcoal was crackling.

The two were silent for a moment, and Dong Zhuo spoke, "What the old man wants is nothing more than a high-quality war horse of the Qiang people, so that he can make contributions to the country." ”

Guo Yi chuckled, "If you want to fight a horse, you can make a contribution......

Dong Zhuo was stunned for a moment, looked Guo Yi up and down, and said with a smile: "Lord Guo is really an understanding person. The world will be chaotic, and the heroes will rise together, how can you do it without accumulating some family funds? ”

Guo Yi smiled slightly, noncommittal, and said: "I am a scholar, and the rise and fall of honor and disgrace are all in the mouth of the emperor, where do you come from?" ”

Hearing this, Dong Zhuo was greatly surprised, stared at Guo Yi for a moment, saw that he didn't seem to be lying, and asked in a low voice: "This Liangzhou is a good place, Lord Guo's Liangzhou assassination history, isn't it right?" ”

Liangzhou is indeed a good place, with high-quality war horses, strong and warlike folk customs, and it is simply a natural cavalry processing factory. But the problem is also here, the fierce folk customs are because there are Qiang people in the south, Xiongnu in the north, and Western Regions in the west.

Surrounded by enemies on all sides, and its own natural conditions are difficult to accumulate sufficient grain reserves, which is completely different from Xuzhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou and other places of the four wars in terms of basic conditions. Although the Central Plains region is in turmoil, its own conditions are sufficient to stabilize production.

The advantages and disadvantages of Xiliang, from Ma Teng to Ma Chao's nearly thirty years of fighting history, you can know a little bit about it, this place can really only dominate one side, if you want to enter the Central Plains, you must first take the Weihe Plain, which is used to ensure the production of military supplies. Usually, the owners of the Weihe Plain have a steady stream of material support from the Central Plains.

This road is too difficult. Therefore, in Guo Yi's plan, Liangzhou is just a springboard for himself, and it will never be relied on.

Guo Yi said: "Although Liangzhou is good, it is not a place where Luan Feng lives. ”

"Oh." Dong Zhuo started in Liangzhou, and he was naturally a little dissatisfied with Guo Yi's evaluation, no one likes his hometown to be belittled. In his eyes, Liangzhou is a blessed land. However, since Guo Yi has no intention of separating Liangzhou, he has a lot of room for operation. Xi said: "General Guo, we Mingren don't say dark words. The old man is somewhat familiar with the court, and has a good relationship with the ten permanent servants and others. What General Guo asked for was nothing more than soldiers and horses. After returning to the dynasty, if you want to keep the soldiers and horses, you can only go out to lead the troops. ”

After a pause, seeing Guo Yi's face as usual, he smiled secretly in his heart, if he didn't object, he agreed. continued: "The emperor is quite suspicious of the general, and after pacifying Liangzhou this time, he will inevitably detain the general. Perhaps, the general will be punished for the matter of peace. The old man is willing to dredge up for the general, so that the general's work will be done. ”

"Huh." Guo Yi chuckled and asked, "What does Master Dong want?" ”

Dong Zhuo was straightforward, "Without him, it's just three thousand war horses." ”

Three thousand well-trained cavalrymen were more than enough to enter the division and control the imperial court. This is a force to be reckoned with! Dong Zhuo is good at leading troops, especially for cavalry.

Guo Yi said: "Three thousand war horses are the foundation of the king's hegemony. ”

Dong Zhuo smiled and said, "Doesn't the general know that the situation is stronger than people? The old man has always been a good man, and after the general Baoju returns to the court, he can get what he wants and get a good official. ”

When he was under the suspicion and balance of the emperor, he could only achieve his goal by paying an excess price. The 5,000 cavalry who negotiated peace couldn't take much with him, and it was worth it in exchange for Dong Zhuo's support. Then he said: "There is still some time to discuss peace, waiting for the good news of Lord Dong." ”

Dong Zhuo laughed, doing business with smart people is smooth. Lang Sheng said: "The old man will send someone to Luoyang for a trip to keep it for the general to dredge." The general can rest in the army for one night and leave again tomorrow. ”

"Then it's disrespectful."

Guo Yi and Dong Zhuo walked out of the big tent hand in hand, and the people waiting outside were relieved. It seems that the bigwigs have negotiated, which saves a lot of fighting.

Dong Zhuo ordered someone to set up a tent for Guo Yi to live in, and Long Yi slept at the entrance to guard.

Surprisingly, nothing happened that night. Guo Yi and the others were a little surprised, so they went to the big tent to say goodbye to Dong Zhuo.

On the way, I saw Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew riding fast horses and a team of twenty people, leaving without dust.

In front of the big tent, Dong Zhuo was riding a red rabbit horse, preparing to inspect the troops. Guo Yi stepped forward and said, "Lord Dong, thank you for taking care of me last night, and I am here to say goodbye today." ”

"The general came just in time, I heard that the general governs the army like a god, and he will go with me to the army."

"Okay." Guo Yi also wanted to see what his military ability was.

The two rode side by side. The soldiers had already eaten breakfast and were training. Dong Zhuo triumphantly pointed to the soldiers of each battalion and praised non-stop. Li Dao, Guo Yan, Niu Fu, Fan Chou and others all led a team to be reviewed.

It seems that it has been planned for a long time and specially shown to Guo Yi.

What is a little surprising is that Hua Xiong is only a young general at this time, and he does not have the status of commanding a battle.

Today's Dong Zhuojun's military appearance is much neater than when he first met, Liangzhou Mang's men are tall and big, and they are majestic between shouting and drinking, and they are indeed a strong army!

"Zheng ......" Just when Dong Zhuo and Guo Yi were exchanging experiences in governing the army, they were so quiet that they could hear the sound of the wind in the camp, and suddenly there was a resentful pipa sound.

This is equivalent to a big military parade, when a person ran to Chang'an Street to sing rock and roll!

Dong Zhuo was furious and shouted, "Arrest me!! ”

Guo Yi had actually guessed who it was, but he was still startled when he was brought, how could the Zou family have the slightest peerless elegance at this time? The nose is blue and the face is swollen, and a handsome face is gone. A pair of slender jade hands were also covered with scars, and the fingers were broken, as if they had been deliberately destroyed.

Dong Zhuo and the others were also taken aback, if they couldn't judge it if they didn't look at the costumes, they couldn't believe that this was the exotic beauty who captivated the country and the city yesterday.

"Bastard! The old man wants you to arrest people, who told you to fight like this? ”

The little soldier was so frightened that he quickly knelt down, and begged for mercy again and again: "Wronged, general!" That's what happened to her when the little one found her. ”

Zou saluted with difficulty and said humbly: "Lord Dong, this is none of their business. ”

Everyone looked at each other, and they already had an answer to the perpetrator in their hearts. Presumably after the meeting broke up last night, Zhang Ji felt that he couldn't get over his face, so he sprinkled all his depression and anger on Zou's body, and targeted her face and hands to destroy it, which shows how angry he was.

Since it is the couple's housework, no one else can take care of it.

Dong Zhuo's eyes were not lustful at all, but full of disgust, he didn't like to look at ugly girls, even if he was a beautiful woman last night.

"The old man inspects the three armies, why are you playing music in the camp?"

Zou explained: "The concubine has just finished grooming, and I don't know how to inspect it. Seeing that his face was no longer there, he played music sadly. ”

Li Ru whispered on the side: "Lord, Zhang Ji is dissatisfied with you." ”

Dong Zhuo nodded, and said helplessly: "But this person is indeed useful." ”

"I have a plan." Li Ru lowered his voice and said, "First reorganize his troops and arrange a civilian position for him, so that he can use it when he needs it, and when he doesn't use it, he doesn't threaten it." ”

"Well, that's good." Dong Zhuo nodded, looked at the generals under his hands, and asked, "Who do you think is appropriate to replace him?" ”

Li Ru pointed at Hua Xiong and said, "This person is suitable." ”

"Hmm......" Dong Zhuo looked at Hua Xiong and hesitated, Hua Xiong had just defected for less than a year, but he was brave and good at fighting, but in terms of qualifications, he had not yet reached the point where he could replace Zhang Ji. Without excellent merit, rash promotion will only cause dissatisfaction among other generals.

Guo Yi didn't have time to listen to their palace fighting drama, and arched his hand and said: "Lord Dong governs the army like a god, and his reputation is well deserved. It's not too early, and the last general will take his leave. ”

Dong Zhuo came back to his senses and arched his hand: "I will not send it far." ”

glanced at Zou, although he felt pitiful for her, he couldn't help her.

rode away, climbed to the top of the mountain and looked back at Dong Zhuo's camp, and sighed: "I don't know when I can command tens of thousands of troops." ”

Long Yi asked, "What did the lord promise Dong Zhuo?" ”

"A big thing, go back and talk about it."
