Chapter 59: 20,000 Soldiers and Horses
In Dong Min's eyes, the second brother Dong Zhuo, powerful and domineering, confident Zhang Yang, is unstoppable, a well-known man, and a big hero who stands up to the sky. But his son Dong Shouye is a little weak, although his ability is okay, Dong Min likes it very much, but Dong Min always feels that Dong Shouye lacks a kind of domineering and invincible spirit like Dong Zhuo!
A manly husband should naturally hold the authority of the world, domineering Lingyun, who else can I be!
Dong Min always hopes to see more of this aspect in Dong Shouye.
However, Dong Shouye is more restrained and not publicist enough. As his third uncle, Dong Min can sometimes vaguely find that Dong Shouye is suppressing himself, or that he is bookish on the outside, but on the inside, he is his father's temperament.
Dong Min and Dong Shouye drank for a while, and then said: "Shouye, you sent troops to Xiliang this time to fight against Han Sui and Ma Teng." These two people are not as good as Sun Jian, although Sun Jian is hostile to us, he is also a bright and upright person, and he will not use any insidious means, but this Han Sui and Ma Teng are different. Ma Teng is a little better, his temper is straightforward, but Han Sui has always been an old fox, and it is not so easy to deal with! ”
When Dong Shouye heard this, he asked, "Third uncle, do you know anything about these two people?" ”
Dong Min replied: "Actually, I can't say how well I know, I also followed my second brother to fight in Xiliang, these two people rose in rebellion, Ma Teng relied on extraordinary bravery, and Han Sui relied on conspiracy and trickery. Among the rebels in Xiliang, there were countless people who died at the hands of Han Sui, and their actions were insidious and vicious, making people unguardable, otherwise, it would be impossible to change from a rebel puppet to an entrenched leader with real power. ”
Dong Shouye nodded and said, "The words of the third uncle, the child must be kept in mind. ”
Dong Min sighed and said, "Shouye, if you send troops to Xiliang this time, the third uncle won't be able to help you." I will support you with some soldiers, horses, food and grass, what do you think? ”
This Dong Min guards the important place, and Yiwu can be said to be the base camp of the Xiliang Army, which is extremely important, and it is a matter of life and death, how dare Dong Shouye draw troops and horses from here!
Besides, as long as there is no problem here, even if Dong Shouye loses on the battlefield of Xiliang, with Dong Min of Yiwu as a strong backing, he can make a comeback. Even if you can't defeat the enemy, you can still ensure that you don't lose your way back and don't have to worry about your life.
Dong Shouye said: "Third uncle, Yiwu is an important place for our army, and it still needs to be garrisoned by heavy troops. Xiliang, Han Sui, and Ma Teng are just scabies, and if they are transferred soldiers and horses, won't they lose a big loss because of a small one. ”
When Dong Min heard it, Dong Shouye's words were actually right, after all, the current focus of the Xiliang Army is in Chang'an, not Xiliang, and the storage of Yiwu is to protect the cause of Chang'an. But he felt sorry for Dong Shouye, but he didn't want Dong Shouye to face Xiliang's strong enemy alone, so he pondered for a while and said: "Shouye, in the eyes of the third uncle, you are the key to our Xiliang army. ”
When Dong Shouye heard this, he was secretly moved in his heart and stopped talking.
After a while, Dong Min said: "Shouye, at present, the third uncle has 50,000 grizzly bears in his hands, and he is ready to hand over 20,000 of them to you to fight against Han Sui and Ma Teng in Xiliang, as for the second brother, there is a third uncle to say, you don't have to worry, your father blames you, and the third uncle will help you carry it down." ”
Dong Shouye opened his mouth and argued.
Dong Min waved his hand to stop it, and said, "Shouye, don't you kid look down on the third uncle, thinking that the third uncle is old and can't lift a knife and gun?" Although the third uncle is nearly fifty years old, he can still move, even if some thieves want to toss a little movement, the third uncle can also clean them up. Besides, the third uncle still has 30,000 soldiers and horses under him, so he is not a vegetarian. The third uncle has also followed your father to fight for more than ten years, and he has never seen any scenes, so you kid can rest assured! ”
Seeing this, Dong Shouye couldn't continue to say anything, so he could only say: "Shouye, thank you to the third uncle." ”
Dong Min laughed and said, "You kid, you just don't have a long memory, just now you asked you not to be so modest, and I forgot about it now." It's all a family, what's polite! ”
When Dong Shouye heard this, he scratched his head, picked up the wine bottle on the desk, and said, "Child, respect the third uncle." ”
Dong Min laughed again, picked up the wine bottle on the table, raised his head, and drank it all.
After putting down the wine bottle, Dong Min instructed the attendants behind him: "Pass my general order and let a few lieutenants come to see Gongzi." ”
The attendant answered yes and went out.
Not long after, four people came from outside the door, and after entering the hall, they bowed their heads and said, "The last general has seen the general." ”
Dong Min waved his hand and said, "You're welcome, get up!" After speaking, he pointed to the desk in front of him and motioned for a few people to sit down.
The four generals didn't talk nonsense, and sat down as they said.
Dong Min turned to Dong Shouye and said, "Shouye, the third uncle will introduce you to you." These four lieutenants in our army are Wang Fang, Wu Xi, Cui Yong, and Zhang Bao. As he spoke, he pointed to the four generals seated.
Dong Shouye followed Dong Min's point, and looked at them one by one, these four people were all typical Kansai men, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and a rough appearance. Then he said: "Dong Bai, Dong Shouye has seen four generals. ”
Dong Min said: "This is the son of the Taishi, and he will be the master you are waiting for in the future, and I won't see the son soon." ”
The four generals hurriedly left the table, knelt down with their fists in front of Dong Shouye, gave a salute, and said, "The last general has seen the son." ”
Dong Shouye was very happy to see this, and hurriedly stepped forward to help the four generals one by one. At the same time, I began to think about the relevant information of these four people in my mind.
Dong Min said at this time: "Everyone, at present, Shouye wants to lead the army to Xiliang to meet Na Ma Teng and Han Sui for a while, but there are some insufficient troops, so the general will allocate 20,000 soldiers and horses to fund Shouye, I don't know if you are willing to assist Shouye and help him achieve great things." ”
These people are Dong Zhuo's henchmen, they have been following Dong Zhuo, and they are all loyal confidants, how could they not agree when they saw that they were assisting Dong Zhuo's son this time.
At the moment, he said in unison: "We are willing to assist the son, let it be dispatched, even if it is up the sword mountain and the sea of fire, we will never frown." ”
When Dong Shouye heard this, he was a little happy, where is this! It's too much!
Dong Min smiled when he saw this and said, "That's fine, after you get to the Shouye Army, you can just listen to its dispatch." Shouye once led 50,000 horses to defeat Sun Jian's 100,000 soldiers and horses in the south of Luoyang City, he is a rare young talent, brave and strategic, with such a commander, it is not considered to bury you, but also let you have some future, it is much better than following me. ”
After speaking, he smiled self-deprecatingly.
The four generals didn't even dare to say so.
