When Dong Shouye heard Dian Wei's words, he couldn't help but sigh, and explained: "You idiot, although you are acting on orders, but people have bothered to run hard, and there is no merit and hard work. We should try our best to have a good relationship with the surrounding generals now, and we can cooperate in the future, and General Dong's defense of Hangu Pass will also protect our army's rear road. If we blindly hold our own status and are domineering, and dictate to other generals, they will definitely be resentful, and I am afraid that disaster will not be far away in the future. ”

After a pause, he continued: "Besides, General Dong can also be regarded as a member of the Dong clan, according to the seniority, this son has to be called the clan uncle, as a junior, to say hello to the elders, isn't it right!" This kind of thing will not be mentioned again in the future, and you are not allowed to bully others with your own identity in the future, if you are discovered by this son, see if I don't use military law to clean you up. ”

Dian Wei's guy suddenly lost the arrogance just now, and responded as if he was wilting: "I know." ”

Dong Shouye did not blame too much, and the matter was revealed.

When Du Ji saw Dong Shouye's appearance, he couldn't help but nod secretly, praising in his heart.

Dong Shouye asked Zhang Ji again: "De Rong, is there any news from Hedong?" ”

Like a thief, Zhang looked around, as if to see if anyone was eavesdropping.

Dong Shouye saw Zhang Ji's thief-eyed appearance, smiled, and said: "De Rong, the people in front of you are all henchmen, they can all be trusted, there is nothing to guard against, and confidants are also arranged outside the council hall to guard, if you have any news, just tell me quickly!" ”

Zhang Ji also felt that he was a little too nervous, and smiled bitterly as if he was self-deprecating, and said: "Childe, the last general received a secret letter from General Niu Fu saying that he is currently in Hedong Yiqiē, and all aspects of affairs have been carried out in an orderly manner. The finishing work of the smuggling of salt by the Puban Xu clan to the Xiongnu and other Qianghu has been completed, and now General Niu Fu has completely controlled the salt pond. Salt pond production has also recovered and is on the rise. ”

Dong Shouye asked again: "Salt is a strategic material, indispensable, very urgent, with a salt pond in hand, the people will not panic, and the people will be stable." The output of the salt pond can be restored, and this son can rest assured. By the way, what progress has been made on the Tuntian side? ”

There are not many salt-producing places in the Guanzhong area, so they rely more on the salt ponds in Hedong, which is why Dong Shouye built Yì Niu Fu to rectify the salt ponds after defeating Bai Bo in Hedong. Then Niu Fu also strictly implemented Dong Shouye's intentions, and directly sent troops to take over and control the salt pool, and firmly controlled the salt pond in his own hands, not lightly let people get involved.

In fact, in Dong Shouye's heart, the matter of Tuntian is the most important thing, and it is more important than the matter of Yantian. Although it is sad to have no salt, people can still live; If there is no food, then you will starve to death.

When Zhang Ji heard this, he replied: "In Tuntian, General Niu Fu led the soldiers to actively develop production, and the grain has basically become self-sufficient. Last year, the year was good, the grain field was harvested, at the end of the autumn harvest, General Niu Fu had already delivered a batch of grain and grass to Chang'an, at that time the prime minister was also very happy, in view of the shape of Luoyang, the prime minister asked General Niu Fu to put a batch of grain and grass in Anyitun, to prepare for the possible war in Luoyang in the future. Now that Sun Jian and Wang Kuang are really pressing on Luoyang, this batch of grain and grass can just be used. This time, General Niu Fu's secret letter said that the grain and grass have been prepared, and as long as the son needs it, it can be transported at any time. ”

After finishing speaking, I felt that I had forgotten to say something, so I continued: "By the way, Childe, General Niu Fu said in the secret letter that he can also support Childe's five thousand elite soldiers. Childe, did you reply to General Niu Fu and ask him to send someone to arrange for reinforcements to go south? ”

Dong Shouye was overjoyed when he heard this, stood up and said: "This move really won my heart, the second brother-in-law is really good, and he is doing a good job in Hedong." As for the grain and grass, I don't know how long this war will last, it is very likely to be a protracted battle, and if there is no food and grass, there is no need to worry about the reserve, and at present, our army has plenty of food and grass. De Rong, you first reply to the second brother-in-law in my name and tell him that if there is any surplus in terms of grain and grass, you can transport some of it later later, but you must ensure that the affairs of the tuntian in Hedong are not affected. As for the reinforcements, it can be put aside for the time being, and the pressure on the side of Hedong is not small, according to the detailed report, the party is too shou Zhang Yang is now colluding with the Southern Xiongnu, and intends to rely on Yuan Shao, this matter must be guarded against. And it is necessary to increase the number of troops in Keiguan, to form a deterrent to Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang, and the surrounding Baibo is still not stopped, there is still a trend of resurgence, and in general, the troops are also very tight, tell the second brother-in-law, I understand his kindness, but the important land in Hedong cannot be lost, or leave him with sufficient troops, let him ensure the stability of Hedong. ”

Zhang Ji immediately responded: "Okay, the last general will arrange this matter immediately." ”

Du Yi heard the conversation between the two at this time, and he was a little eager to say something, obviously with a stomach of questions, and he had something to say.

Seeing this, Dong Shouye said loudly: "Bohou, it is very hard to see that you want to talk and stop, just ask whatever you want." ”

Du Ji was waiting for this sentence, and immediately asked, "Childe, what is Tuntian that Dejong is talking about?" Du Ji also knew about Tuntian, but it didn't seem to be the same as what Zhang Ji was saying so far, so he asked questions.

Dong Shouye looked at Zhang Ji and said, "Derong, you explain to Bohou." ”

The matter of Tuntian has always been a secret in Dong Shouye's army, and only a few henchmen know about it, Du Yi has just joined Dong Shouye's army, and many things are not yet familiar. I've heard Dong Shouye and others mention it before, but they have always mentioned it slightly, never in depth.

At that time, Du Ji had just joined the team, and many secrets in the army were not revealed to him, Du Ji thought that this Tuntian must be a secret and did not dare to ask more, this time Dong Shouye mentioned the matter of Tuntian again in front of everyone, and Du Yi dared to ask.

Zhang Ji has always gotten along well with Du Ji after he joined, but he never dared to talk nonsense because of the secret matters in the army without Dong Shouye's consent, after all, if he accidentally said anything serious about the secret affairs in the army, the head on his head would not be protected.

This time, after getting Dong Shouye's approval, Zhang Ji dared to explain to Du Ji, so he briefly introduced Niu Fu's secret tuntian in Hedong.

Du Ji listened and said: "Son, the matter of Tuntian, Emperor Xiaowu also ordered the soldiers to fight on the border of Tuntian, although it is a good policy, but whether the burden of the people of Tuntian is too heavy, I am afraid that it will be difficult to last for a long time." ”
