The three of them set out to find a place to worship.

Niu Fu told the three of them that there was a plum grove not far away. After a while, they had already arrived at the plum blossom forest that Niu Fu said.

After this period of conquest, the time has reached the middle of December, when the sky is slightly drifting with light snow, and the plum blossom forest is exactly that: plain and beautiful snow condensing trees, fragrant and windy branches. I saw that a group of branches on the plum tree were waiting to be released, and I put together the sentence "Chop a new flower with wind and dew, just like the west chamber waiting for the moon to come".

After everyone arrived at Meilin, they saw that the plum blossom forest was full of fragrance, wrapped in silver, and the scenery was wonderful, it was really a good place. Dong Shouye, Xu Huang and Zhang Liao saw that this place was suitable for worship, and they were overjoyed.

At the moment, it was arranged to put down a few incense cases, incense burners and candles, and let people take out a series of sacrificial things such as black cows and white horses, and three animal sacrifices.

I saw the three of them burn incense and worship again, poured out three bowls of hot wine, and each cut his finger with his sword, and made a bloody alliance. Recited the oath together: "Huang Tian is above, although Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, and Dong Bai are different surnames, and they are willing to become brothers, they will work together, support each other, save the poor, and live and die together." Report to the country, under An Lishu. From now on, we will share the blessings and difficulties, and we will not seek to be born in the same year, the same month, and the same day, but to be born in the same year, the same month, and the same **. The emperor and the queen of heaven have learned from this heart; If this oath is violated, heaven and man will be killed! ”

These three people also recounted their own years, this year is the sixth year of Zhongping, that is, 189 AD. Xu Huang was born in 165 A.D. and is already twenty-four years old. Zhang Liao was born in 168 A.D. and is now twenty-one years old, and Dong Bai was born in 172 A.D. and is seventeen years old.

With Xu Huang as the eldest, he is called the eldest brother, Zhang Liao is the second, and Dong Bai is the youngest, as the third brother.

After sacrificing heaven and earth, and slaughtering oxen and putting wine in the midst of Merlin, he drank bitterly with the people, and each was drunk without mentioning.

Early in the morning of the second day, Dong Shouye led Xu Huang and Zhang Liao to the mansion to meet Niu Fu and everyone, and everyone congratulated the three brothers again. Then they discussed together how to distribute the 40,000 captives captured after the battle.

Niu auxiliary army and this battle suffered a lot of damage, 30,000 horses and horses suffered nearly 5,000 casualties, of which 3,000 died, 2,000 light and serious injuries were different, after reporting to Dong Zhuo to get the approval, so 15,000 people were selected to supplement the army, since then Niu Auxiliary army Rong won a great victory, and the previous army reached more than 40,000 people, holding Hedong more and more stable.

Dong Shouye basically lost nothing in this battle, replenished more than 1,000 people to himself and Li Ji, and then added a school of men to Zhang Liao and Zhang Ji. Yang Feng and Xu Huang are the new generals, and they are also allowed to lead a school of men and horses under their own command. Although Xu Huang has outstanding ability, everything has a process, and it should be done step by step.

What's more, now that Xu Huang, Dong Shouye, and Zhang Liao have married Jin Lan, how can they worry that they will not be able to lead troops to fight in the future. Besides, now Dong Shouye himself is not a big official, which is also the limit of negotiating with his father and two brothers-in-law. Originally, Zhang was supposed to be a civil official, but Dong Shouye was only a captain with more than 10,000 soldiers, not even a formal general. Some other places were replenished, and the army was replenished.

Niu Fu divided the remaining 13,000 people into several batches and sent them to nearby counties. Especially in Puban County, because the Xu family was copied, a large amount of land was idle, so it was distributed to these soldiers for cultivation. As a result, these more than 40,000 soldiers have their own support from then on, and they have not mentioned their own affairs.

Niu Fu also sent a group of generals to lead their troops to recover the counties. But it is said that Guo Tai escaped from the war, all the way cautiously, day and night out of the land to flee south, on the way encountered some of his own defeated soldiers, and also gathered more, but only gathered more than 100 people.

Mrs. Guo led these people and couldn't escape together, looking for Li Le, Han Xian, Hu Cai and others. After many hardships and hardships, they finally found more than 10,000 horses led by Li Le, Han Xian, Hu Cai and others, so they said goodbye and discussed the way. Think about that Mrs. Guo has never suffered such a fiasco since the army, before his army was strong, the soldiers were strong, everywhere was swaggering, unstoppable, this time the army was defeated, his subordinates were basically lost, and he had to rein in his breath when he got there, for fear that the surrounding county officials would rush out of a group of officials to arrest themselves.

Because he saw that the Niu auxiliary army was flourishing, he was invincible. The remaining fifteen-odd people of the Baibo army are not opponents, and they are difficult to match, so they naturally dare not go back to Anyi or Baibo Valley to confront the official army. I can't wait to give birth to a few more legs, and leave the territory of Hedong County immediately to avoid being driven out by Niu Fu. So I went all the way east, to Hanoi, and Dong Gun, which is a later story.

Since Niu Fu defeated Bai Bojun, he has become more and more convinced of his cheap brother-in-law, and hurriedly reported to his father-in-law, Mrs. Dong, for his cheap brother-in-law, and asked for a reward. That Dong Zhuo also heard the news, and praised Dong Bai with Li Ru and others for being a tiger.

All the generals have their own rewards, but Dong Shouye is a cadre, Dong Bai is the captain of the upper military academy, Li Dao is the captain of the military academy, Zhang Liao is the captain of the middle military academy, Xu Huang is the captain of the lower military academy, Zhang is the captain of the left school, Yang Feng is the right captain, since then, Dong Bai has led the army alone, Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, Zhang Ji, Li Dao, Yang Feng and others have gradually become Dong Bai's henchmen.

Some officials here will say that the eighth lieutenant of Xiyuan is also a member of the capital city, why is it so light to Dong Bai, Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, Zhang Ji, Li Dao, and Yang Feng. Let's talk about it here, it can be regarded as a setting, since the establishment of the Xiyuan Army, there are a total of eight captains, namely the captain of the upper military academy for Xiaohuangmen Jian Shuo is the commander, the lieutenant of the middle military academy is the general Yuan Shao of the Tiger Ben, the lieutenant of the lower military academy is Bao Hong, the captain of the military academy is Cao Cao, the captain of the military academy is Zhao Rong, the captain of the auxiliary army is Feng Fang, the captain of the left is the counselor Xia Mou, and the captain of the right is Chun Yuqiong. There are a total of 20,000 people in eight schools. Later, He Jin took charge of the government, killed Jian Shuo, and took the forbidden soldiers under Jian Shuo's command to himself, thus obtaining the command of the eighth lieutenant of Xiyuan, so the Xiyuan army was under the control of He Jin.

Since the death of He Jin, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao and others led the men and horses to attack the imperial city, and killed the ten permanent servants, each of them was injured, and since Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, the leaders of more than 20,000 people died and fled. More than 20,000 people were either taken away or forgotten, and finally when Dong Zhuo took over, there were only more than 10,000 people left, plus Dong Zhuo annexed He Jin's brother He Miao's subordinates and other troops in the capital, such as: the Northern Army is the elite unit of the Han Army, the commander is the lieutenant of the middle base, and the subordinate is the captain of the Tun cavalry, the captain of the infantry is in charge of the Lin Yuanmen Tun soldiers, the captain of the cavalry is in charge of the more cavalry, and the captain of Changshui is in charge of the Changshui Xuanqu Hu cavalry. The soldiers of the Northern Army are also known as cantonment soldiers.

The southern army is the unit guarding the palace, the commander is the captain, and the main soldiers under it are the Nangong guards and the north palace guards are waiting for the left and right, and there are seven people in charge of the palace gate guards. The soldiers of the Southern Army are also known as the guards.

Luoyang also defended the city, commanded by the captain of the city gate. There are also irregular troops in Luoyang: the Ti Cavalry led by Zhi Jinwu, who is responsible for law and order. Hu Ben Zhonglang will be under the jurisdiction of the left and right servants, the left and right Majesty will lead the Tiger Ben Lang, and the Yulin Zhonglang will be under the jurisdiction of the Yulin Supervisor, and the cavalry captain will lead the Yulin Cavalry, and the Tiger Ben and the Yulin are the emperor's guards.

After Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, he basically mastered all the troops in the capital, plus the Xiyuan Army, at this time, there was no major leading general of the Xiyuan Army, and there were only about 10,000 soldiers left, basically in name only, so who would care about a force that existed in name only. So Dong Zhuo obtained a total of about 50,000 men and horses in Luoyang.

Since Dong Shouye's cheap son Dong Zhuo sent down various appointments and rewards, all the generals were overjoyed, and because the remaining more than 15,000 people of the Baibo Army were flowing to Hanoi, Dong County and other places, now Dong Zhuo has an ambiguous relationship with the Kwantung princes, and Niu Fu cannot send troops to pursue it, so he has to report the matter to his father-in-law Dong Zhuo, and it is decided by Dong Taishi. And arranging military horses by himself to recover the counties and counties that were captured by the Baibo army before was also easy and successful.

And Dong Shouye saw that his cheap second brother-in-law Niu Fujun Rong Dasheng, how much was 40,000, and he was afraid that it would be difficult for him to receive grain and grass, so he let the troops plunder, so he asked his cheap second brother-in-law Niu Fujian yì: "Second brother-in-law, now our army is extremely strong, and there are many sergeants, I am afraid that the grain and grass in Luoyang will not be able to cope with it, and now that the war in Hedong has calmed down, can we arrange a part of the sergeants to secretly and secretly use it for military purposes?" ”

Niu Fu didn't understand it for a while, and asked Dong Shouye: "Shouye, my army doesn't have much food and grass at this time, but what is Tuntian?" Second brother-in-law, I don't know? ”

Dong Shouye smiled, knowing that his cheap second brother-in-law didn't read much, and he didn't know the allusions to Tuntian, so he said to him: "Sima Qian wrote in the "Historical Records": The first emperor made Meng Tian to send 100,000 people to attack Hu in the north. This can be said to be the predecessor of Tuntian, during the time of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, the northern Xiongnu were strong, often violated the border, harassed the local residents, and the emperor requisitioned troops to resist. Chao mistakenly thought that letting the soldiers take turns to fight the border was not a long-term solution. In his letter, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty advocated the use of recruitment, planned immigration, the development of production in the border areas, and the association of defending the country and protecting the family. Again; The government was responsible for building houses, providing the necessary agricultural tools, seeds, doctors, wizards, and so on. Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty adopted Chao's opinion and ordered immigrants to strengthen the border defenses, effectively preventing the invasion of the Xiongnu. During the reign of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, the Qiang people in the northwest launched an armed rebellion, invaded the border, captured cities and towns, and brutalized the people. Zhao Chongguo, a famous general of the Western Han Dynasty who was over 70 years old, recommended himself and personally took command of the expedition to quell the rebellion. After Zhao Chongguo had a detailed understanding of the logistical support situation such as grain and baggage, he decided to put down the Qiang armed rebellion in collusion with the Xiongnu in Tuntian, which effectively quelled the Qiang armed rebellion colluded with the Xiongnu. This is not only a time when the state treasury is empty and the finances are tight, but also to save a large amount of military expenditures and forced labor, but also to strengthen the construction of border defense, increase material reserves, and enhance the ability to resist the enemy's contingencies. With more than 10,000 soldiers, more than 2,000 hectares of fields were cultivated. "Xiqiang's 50,000 troops were wiped out by Zhao Chongguo one after another, and more than 46,000 people were wiped out one after another. In the end, Zhao Chongguo summed up the famous "Twelve Things to Stay Four", that is, the twelve benefits of Tuntian. ”

When Niu Fu heard this, he was immediately surprised, and said to Dong Shouye: "I didn't expect that this tuntian has so many benefits, if this law is really implemented, our army's military rations will be worry-free from now on." Okay, Shouye, I listen to you, spring ploughing is about to start, I will arrange a large number of people at that time, do what you say, come to the pilot, and then report to my father-in-law when there are results. ”

Dong Shouye was overjoyed when he heard that Niu Fu had agreed, if this law could be fully implemented in the Xiliang Army, the problem of the Xiliang Army's constant looting would be well solved in the future, and he would not have to worry more about taking over at that time. ”
