Dong Zhuo saw his baby son greeting himself and caring about his body, and he was also very relieved, this son had been at odds with him when he first came home because of the death of his biological mother. Now that I have finally grown up and know how much I care about myself, I can't say how happy I am. So he said out loud: "My father is still in good health, don't worry about my son, but your grandmother is old and not in good health, and she often misses you." But when you're out on the road, you have to take care of yourself. ”

At this time, there is no suspicion between father and son, after all, so far, there is no disagreement between father and son. The most important thing is that for Dong Zhuo, there is only one son like Dong Shouye, and there is no situation of fighting for power and profit between the Zài brothers, and there is no other choice, so Dong Shouye's position is quite stable. Then there is the issue of Dong Zhuo's age, he is in his sixties, and he doesn't have a few days to live, and the ugly thing to say is that one foot has already stepped into the grave. Moreover, Dong Shouye was only eighteen years old at this time, and there was no problem waiting for ten, eight, or even twenty years. Therefore, Dong Zhuo will not be suspicious of his son at all.

Dong Shouye was also a little excited at this time, and when he thought of his parents in his previous life, seeing that he was now thinking about "things" in front of Dong Zhuo, his eyes couldn't help but turn red.

Dong Zhuo saw that his son's eyes were red, obviously emotional, and he couldn't help but have a sour nose. Dong Zhuo has been fighting for a long time in his life, and he has not enjoyed a few days of family happiness, seeing people in his sixties, the eldest son died early, and the youngest son has been away from home all the year round, and he can be regarded as a lonely old man, lonely and helpless. In ancient times, patriarchs were valued over men, and married daughters spilled water, so daughters and sons-in-law were all floating clouds, and only sons were the last word.

If the average person is sixty years old, I am afraid that they will have children and grandchildren. Therefore, Dong Zhuo attaches great importance to the father-son relationship with Dong Shouye, and cherishes the time he spends with Dong Shouye very much, after all, Dong Zhuo is also a human being, and he also has people's normal emotional needs. But the road of power is a road of no return, since it has been chosen, it is useless to regret it, the only thing he can do is to pave a Yangguan road for his son. At this time, Dong Zhuo was very different from what was described in history, and the number of people killed was much less, because of Dong Shouye's survival, the killing of ordinary people by the Xiliang Army was very few, and it could even be said that there were basically none; In terms of the family, it is slightly better than in history, but it is not much different from history, after all, the two parties belong to different classes, they are class enemies, and class contradictions are irreconcilable.

This Dong Shouye was also a little moved when he saw his Lao Tzu, so he quickly changed the topic and said: "The child once heard that the famous Han general Huangfu Song once stationed 30,000 troops on the right to support the wind, I don't know how my father dealt with it?" In fact, Dong Shouye remembered in his mind that there was a history book that Huangfu Song had stationed 30,000 troops in the right Fufeng, and in the sixth year of Zhongping (that is, in 189 AD), Emperor Ling was seriously ill and appointed Dong Zhuo as the pastor of the state, and asked him to hand over the troops to Huangfu Song to command. Dong Zhuo refused to obey the order. Huangfu Song's nephew, Huangfu Li, thought that Dong Zhuo was disobedient and treacherous, and the crime was unforgivable, and strongly persuaded Huangfu Song to raise troops to fight. Huangfu Song thought that Dong Zhuo did not obey the emperor's orders, although he was guilty, he had no right to kill the minister, so it was better to report to the court in a bright and bright manner and let the court deal with it. As a result, the imperial court issued an edict to reprimand Dong Zhuo, but it did not do anything to Dong Zhuo, nor did it ask him to hand over the army. In fact, in Dong Shouye's view, Huang Fu Song's move is mostly to protect Mingzhe, at this time, Dong Zhuo's soldiers are strong and strong, his strength is definitely stronger than Huang Fu Song, and there are more soldiers and horses than Huang Fu Song.

Dong Zhuo is a little old and easy to get emotional, and at this time, he is obviously still a little immersed in the love just now, so he said to Li Ru in a loud voice: "Wenyou, you can tell Shouye about this matter!" ”

Li Ru said yes, and then said to Dong Shouye: "In the first year of Chuping (that is, in 190 AD), after our army was stationed in Luoyang, the prime minister was in order to prevent a fire in the backyard, and recruited Jingzhao Yin Gaixun as the councilor, and Huangfu Song commanded 30,000 troops stationed in Fufeng County at that time. But at this time, the prime minister also summoned Huangfu Song as the captain of the city gate, and looked for an opportunity to execute Huang Fusong. Huangfu Song responded to the call, and his elder Shi Liang Yan persuaded him to raise troops to resist the prime minister, echoing Yuan Shao, a member of the Kwantung rat. Huangfu Song did not listen, and Gai Xun could not be independent because of his weak soldiers, and also returned to Luoyang. As soon as Huangfu Song arrived, he imprisoned him and prepared to behead him. And Huangfu Jianshou, the son of Huangfu Song, had a personal relationship with the prime minister, and ran from Chang'an to Luoyang and defected to Dong Zhuo. When the prime minister was setting up a banquet, the guests and friends of the conference, Huangfu Jianshou rushed forward, pleaded for his father, kowtowed and wept. The guests present were also deeply moved and pleaded for Huangfu Song. The prime minister couldn't bear to let everyone down, so he left the table, pulled Huangfu Jianshou to sit with him, and sent someone to release Huangfu Song and appoint him as the councilor. Now Huangfu Song has been promoted to the position of Imperial History. It's very personal. It can be said that Huangfu Song's 30,000 horses were basically absorbed by the prime minister. ”

Dong Shouye said after listening: "I see." After a pause, he said, "Father, the child has been at home for so long, why don't you see your uncle?" ”

Dong Zhuo said: "For my father, let your uncle Ying reorganize Huangfu Song's 30,000 horses, and then lead troops to garrison in Yixian County to guard against the Xilianghu people, as well as Ma Teng, Han Sui and others, and build Yiwu at the same time." ”

When Dong Shouye heard that the inertia of history was so great, the construction of Hewu really came, so he asked out loud: "The child is stupid, I don't know what the purpose of building Hewu is?" ”

Li Ru said: "The construction of Yiwu is to prevent the Xiliang group of thieves, and the second is to prevent the unfavorable affairs of Chang'an, so we can also have a place to settle down and make a comeback." At the time of this westward migration, many of Luoyang's families had contacts with the princes of Kwantung, and many correspondence were intercepted by me. ”

Dong Shouye said loudly after hearing this: "Father, the child has a reluctant request, we have obtained a lot of money and food this time, and we can't use it up for a while, so it is better to take out a part of it to help the victims and resettle the people who have moved west." There is also a cash-for-work arrangement, so that some homeless homeless people can help us build a dock, and we will give them some money and food as wages, which can be regarded as a way for these people to live. ”

Dong Zhuo heard Dong Shouye's words, glanced at Li Ru, and saw that Li Ru did not object, so he lowered his head and thought for a while, so he said to Li Ru and Dong Shouye: "That's fine, Wenyou, you can discuss this matter with your uncle Ying and Shouye, remember to ensure that the normal use of our army is not affected." ”

As soon as Dong Shouye and Li Ru heard that they were relieved, they both said in unison: "Father Xie (Prime Minister), I will definitely let my army not be affected." ”

Later, Dong Shouye, Dong Zhuo and Li Ruyou talked about some specific situations of the westward move to Chang'an, as well as the current population situation of the Sili Captain's Department. At this time, there were a total of 4.1 million people in the Sili Lieutenant Department, including 400,000 in Jing Zhaoyin, 150,000 in Youfufeng, 200,000 in Zuo Fengyi, 650,000 in Hedong County, 300,000 in Hongnong County, 1.4 million in Henan Yin, and 1 million in Hanoi County. The relocation of the capital to Chang'an resulted in the migration of 1.5 million people from Luoyang and its surroundings, including 1.4 million people from Luoyang and Henan Yin, and then forcibly relocated more than 100,000 people from Yingchuan in the south of Luoyang. Along the way, nearly 300,000 people were placed near Hongnong County, nearly 400,000 people were placed near Chang'an and Jingzhaoyin, 250,000 people were also placed in Fengyi and 250,000 people were placed in each of them, and 200,000 people were placed in Beidi County, Hanyang County, Anding County, Wudu County and other places on the border with Sili, and the remaining 100,000 people fled and left some of them, and some died on the way to migration. In recent years, there have been many wars in the vicinity of Sanfu, and the Qiangqi Hu people have repeatedly fought near Chang'an, causing the people to flee and the land is barren and uncultivated. During the Western Han Dynasty, the Sanfu area was an important place in Gyeonggi, and the population of Chang'an alone was as high as one million, and the total population of the Sanfu area at that time was as much as three million, so the new population plus the previous population was only less than two million, so there was no big problem in relocating these people.

Now that Hanoi County is occupied by Wang Kuang, Wang Kuang and Dong Zhuo are also life and death rivals, and they can basically be excluded from Dong Zhuo's forces. Now Dong Zhuo can be said to actually control the Sili area of Hanoi County and Henan Yin, as well as some Liangzhou areas bordering Sili, such as Beidi County, Hanyang County, Anding County, and Wudu County. Therefore, the actual population of Dong Zhuokong is now about 3.5 million people.

Dong Shouye said at this time: "Enlighten my father, the child thinks that the world is in turmoil at this time, the Kwantung princes are not subject to the king, and the world is difficult to determine for a while. Externally, the army is repaired and armor is made, and the production is developed internally. The child thinks that the conquest of the world does not depend on the sharpness of the armor, but the strategy of the martial arts, the sharpness of the armor is important, but in the end it is the population and land that determine the ownership of the world. At that time, Qin passed the change from the Shang Dynasty, several generations of Qin kings worked hard, developed production, accumulated strength, and finally the strength of the population crowned the world, only then did the later Qin king sweep Liuhe, and dominate the world. ”

At this time, Li Ru heard Dong Shouye's words, his eyes lit up, and he also said loudly: "Prime Minister, Shouye Gongzi is right, the last thing to fight for the world depends on the population and land, I hope that the prime minister can actively develop production, collect and treat the displaced people, build water conservancy, treat the people well, accumulate strength, and then send troops to Guguan to fight for the world with the princes of the world." It is a blessing for our army that the son of Shouye is so far-sighted at such a young age! ”

Dong Zhuo's eyes lit up when he heard the words of the two, and he was quite moved, so he said loudly: "This matter is quite reasonable, but it is chaotic for a while, let me think about it slowly." ”

The two of them saw that Dong Zhuo was already moved, although they did not accept it with their mouths, they were also very happy, after all, the strategy of the first military is not trivial, and if they are not careful, it will be a place of no return, so they naturally have to think twice and ponder in detail. However, judging from the current situation, the possibility of adoption is still relatively large. And this kind of thing is also a long investment, slow results, a year and a half, there is no effect at all for a while, and it is also more complicated, many things need to be peeled off the cocoon, slowly handled.
