—179 A.D.——

In the seventh year of Xiping, the Luoyang plague was completely eradicated, and after rewarding those who made outstanding contributions during the plague, the relevant emergency measures were also lifted, and many civil and military officials were also dispatched to deal with serious or minor emergencies from all over the country.

The Great Han roared and roared again at this temporarily stopped "machine", intending to crush any bug that dared to come out and make trouble when it was "down", but it always felt like it was a little ineffective......

Liangzhou, Fufeng County Governor's Office.

Dong Zhuo is sitting in the viewing pavilion in the garden, looking at the pond and the flowers blooming around it, this mansion is specially arranged by the Fufeng County Guard for him, a "well-known ranger commander", of course, the 30,000 troops stationed in the suburbs are the reason why he is so courteous, if you don't agree with each other, you don't need Dong Zhuo to do anything, as long as you pull the troops away, Fufeng County, which has less than 10,000 defenders, will be crushed by the rebels without hesitation.

Zhang and Han Sui, even if they were able to gather a large number of rebels and coerce the original county guards and county commanders to do things for them along the way, but now this is the limit, if they want to continue to advance eastward into Chang'an, they can only rely on those rebels and completely lose control of the situation.

Therefore, if you are not mistaken, these rebels plan to break Fufeng in one fell swoop, control Meiyang in the hands of the former Han Emperor's Mausoleum, and then negotiate with the imperial court, but unfortunately, he Dong Zhuo and Dong Zhongying pinched this point and arrived at Fufeng County to set up defenses, which must make the other party feel like a fish in the throat.

These 30,000 troops were recruited directly from the countryside by bypassing the counties and counties, and they could be said to hate the Hu people for joining the Kou, and the various strange alien symbols and decorations on the rebels were the best morale boosters.

In terms of quantity, it is just stuck at the limit of the number of "private soldiers" acceptable to the imperial court, and the number of private soldiers in the hands of ordinary families is basically this number.

According to Dong Zhuo's original expectation, the 30,000 people were divided into three and organized into three divisions: cavalry, infantry and archers, which were respectively led by Lu Bu, Hua Xiong and himself, but Lu Bu recruited nearly 1,000 Bingzhou veterans in the recruitment process, and planned to build a kind of hoplite called "trapping camp" with them as the core, and finally had to fill up 10,000 people for Lu Bu and let him lead this infantry team.

Although Niu Fu and Hua Xiong were eager to command the cavalry, Dong Zhuo always felt that the two of them were likely to be cut down as soon as they came out of the battle, and instead asked them to lead the archers, and he personally led the cavalry.

The current situation is that the rebels are not strong enough to fight, and they do not have the confidence to fight, while Dong Zhuo's troops are confident, but they are not in a hurry to fight, and both sides are waiting for some kind of "change" outside the battle situation.

For example......

"Ouch, my aunt, that can't eat ......" "Slow down, miss, slow down!"

The exclamations of servants and maids from outside the garden interrupted Dong Zhuo's thoughts slightly, but before he could get angry, a smile appeared directly on his face.

is worthy of my Dong Zhuo's granddaughter and granddaughter, even "Wushuang" awakened so early, Dong Zhuo has thought about it more than once, as for his own Wushuang, does it matter?

At first, everyone thought that Dong Bai's little girl was a funny "Wushuang" such as "endless appetite" or "strong digestion", plus it was Dong Zhuo's granddaughter, who dared to propose to feed her all kinds of different kinds of things for experiments?

It wasn't until she rushed to Liangzhou from Bingzhou this time that she didn't pay attention to the chaos along the way, which made her show the true power of that "Wushuang".

Because the generals were sent out to recruit soldiers, Dong Zhuo, Li Ru and a cadre of civil servants only took a few rangers, dressed as merchants and walked along the official road, but they were targeted by a group of Hu people and horse thieves who came from nowhere.

With Dong Zhuo's force, he is naturally not afraid of some horse thieves, but those rangers who accompany the team dare not let this "ranger commander" take it seriously, otherwise they will become the laughing stock of other rangers within a few years, and the result is that the desperate appearance of the rangers makes those horse thieves think that Dong Zhuo is a rich man or a high-ranking official, and a small group of elite horse thieves threw off them and came straight to Dong Zhuo's family.

Dong Zhuo sighed, and when he was about to pull out the red "Shura" next to him to face the enemy, he saw Dong Bai, who was sitting next to him and was taking fruit from the small table to eat, turned his head, but he just let out a "Ahh

The remaining thieves shouted, turned and fled.

"......" At that time, even with Dong Zhuo's well-informed, he couldn't help but lose his speech, and looked at his granddaughter who was chewing something with a shocked face.

"Woooooo......" Dong Bai chewed a few more times, and slightly furrowed his thin eyebrows: "You can't eat it." ”

She opened her mouth and let out a whoop, and the vanished thieves rolled and were squirted out, but none of the horses they had ridden reappeared.

Dong Zhuo, who was very close, saw very clearly this time, the moment the little granddaughter opened her mouth, her mouth was deep and dark, and even the light could not penetrate the pitch black, but after those horse thieves were "spit out", the original delicate teeth and small tongues reappeared there.

"My lord! Are you alright? Lord? The voice of the ranger who rushed to support woke Dong Zhuo, and he quickly told Dong Bai, "If you do this again, you must ask grandpa", and then got out of the car to give orders.

"Lock up all these horse thieves, shut them up, and go to the next county town for interrogation! Now, clean up the scene and leave as soon as possible! ”

The results of the interrogation were similar, they all claimed that it was suddenly dark in front of them, and they felt that they were in a darkness that could be killed at any time, and then they heard a voice saying "can't eat", so they spun around and reappeared outside, no one mentioned "mouth" or "little girl", but Dong Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief, and then gave a gag order.

Therefore, these servants and servants who were not accompanied at that time did not know how close they were to death, Dong Zhuo thought as he looked at the servant woman who had taken a flower from Dong Bai's hand again.

"Lord, Wen He and Luoyang have news at the same time." Li Ru wore a dark wide robe and a high crown common to his staff, and walked into the viewing pavilion with a few silk books in his hand: "Wenhe's news is very simple, just the words 'fortunately not dishonored'. ”

"Wenyou, are you trying harder? I didn't see that Ah Bai and Lingqi were so old," Dong Zhuo nodded, looking at Dong Bai and Lu Lingqi who were playing together intimately: "If it doesn't work, it's good to take a concubine." ”

Conquest? Just kidding, Dong Yi and Dong Yuan sisters have such a good relationship, what if she runs to complain and Lu Bu comes to the door directly? Earlier, no one was his enemy, and it has become even more terrifying after the formation of the "Trap Camp" recently.

Li Ru smiled awkwardly and diverted the topic: "In addition, there is news from the imperial court that Emperor Fu Song is the general of the expedition to the west, and he led 100,000 knights of the Three Rivers to quell the rebellion. ”

"Hmph...... Knights of the Three Rivers, do those sons and brothers know how to fight? Dong Zhuo said dissatisfied.

Sanhe, refers to Hedong, Hanoi, Henan three places, and Liangzhou and Bingzhou such as good horse production areas, although there are many plains in the land of Sanhe, but there are no good horses, usually see all the horses and pack horses, so there are no good riders.

The knights trained in these places are all from the big families, they buy good horses from Liangzhou, ask blacksmiths to create excellent horse armor, and wear excellent armor themselves, and finally bring a group of relatively low-level equipment and private soldiers, a group of cavalry shiny and bright running on the road, and he is the most shining one, of course he looks extremely vigorous.

As for the combat effectiveness of such "knights" gathered...... It depends on how desperate the "secondary Three Rivers Knights" who are ordered to protect their sons are, because if those sons die, even if they can escape back, they will not be punished heavily, so the correct way to use these "Three Rivers Knights" is to throw them wherever there is danger, and if those sons are allowed to stay safely in the rear, the family guards and private soldiers who have lost their motivation have no combat effectiveness at all.

"So, can the 'General Zhenxi' be appointed?" Dong Zhuo asked again.

Generally speaking, when quelling border troubles, General Zheng and General Zhen will be appointed at the same time, and General Zheng can return to the dynasty after fighting, while General Zhen will stay in the local area and become a governor, so he is generally held by a civilian, said to be a general, more like a supervising army.

"There is an appointment, but it is Zhang Wen, the current lieutenant of the division, who is also concurrent, but he only travels with the army and does not have any troops," Li Ruying said: "This practice makes the son-in-law incomprehensible." ”

Zhang Wen is said to have a kinship with Zhang Rang, the first of the ten permanent servants, otherwise he would not have held the important position of Si Li's lieutenant, and there is no one under a general in Zhenxi, which means that he will go back after the fight, will he let Huangfu Song guard it? That's overkill.

"Heh, Wen You, it's not that you don't understand, but you just don't want to say it," Dong Zhuo said with a smile: "This is obviously the imperial court, no, it is clearly a hint from Zhang Rang, asking me to contribute more and give credit to this Zhang Wen, in exchange for the appointment of a 'General Zhenxi' or 'Liangzhou Assassin'." ”

"The subordinates are just staff, so naturally they are not qualified to make such decisions for the lord." Li Ru changed his name.

Although it is a simple acceptance or rejection, it is also related to Dong Zhuo's face, the relationship with the imperial court, the relationship with Huangfu Song, as well as the popularity of people in Liangzhou, and even the opinions of the people in the world.

"Hmph, it doesn't matter, what I want to do at the moment is just absolute control of Liangzhou, those guys just take it if they want anything else, and one day they ......" Dong Zhuo looked in the direction of Luoyang, and seemed to really see a falling sunset: "Take mine and give it back to me, and spit it out if I eat mine." ”
