Regarding the fact that Dong Zhuo did not immediately lead the army south to quell the rebellion, his son-in-law Niu Fu felt very strange.

He felt that since there was a rebellion, he should immediately send troops to suppress it, seize the opportunity when the rebel has not yet become big, and eliminate the rebel in the cradle, otherwise the rebel will become bigger, isn't it a bad thing?

And when other places get the news, in case they also rebel together, isn't Dong Zhuo's situation very bad?

Faced with Niu Fu's worried question, Dong Zhuo glanced at Niu Fu.

"You know what? The more people who rebel, the bigger the scale, no matter how many of them rebel, I am not afraid, in the final analysis, they are just a rabble, they have no experience in marching and fighting, they only rely on blood and bravery, and they are not useful at all.

The more thieves like this, the bigger the scale, the more credit I will have, and if I have enough credit, I will be able to return to Luoyang as a high position in Jiuqing earlier, and exchange their lives for my future, which is the most important thing! ”

Niu Fu suddenly realized.

"It's still thoughtful."

Dong Zhuo smiled coldly and stopped talking.

So Dong Zhuo ordered the army to prepare for battle unhurriedly, and at the same time sent people to attack in all directions to collect intelligence information, wanting to know if anyone rebelled with the rebels in Guangling County-

He really hopes that more people who are not afraid of death will rise up and rebel, so that he will have more credit.

But unexpectedly, he delayed the dispatch of troops for ten days, giving the neighboring areas enough time to react, but the neighboring areas did not react, and did not seem to be enthusiastic about it, even those areas that seemed to be very unhappy did not respond to the call for rebellion.

Are you so afraid of the imperial court?

No guts at all!

Cowardice!

Dong Zhuo's fanatical mood cooled down little by little, and finally turned into helplessness.

Seeing that there were really no more people choosing to rebel, he could only order the army to set off and go to Guangling County to suppress the rebellion.

No matter how small the mosquito legs are, it's meat, isn't it?

On February 27, the fourth year of Jian'an, Dong Zhuo's vanguard army fought with the rebels in Sheyang County, Guangling County, won a victory, recaptured Sheyang County, and then gave full play to the traditional skills of the old Han army to rob Sheyang County.

On the second day of the first month of March, the vanguard army arrived in Gaoyou County, killed the rebels occupying Gaoyou County, and on the grounds that Gaoyou County was a thief, they once again gave full play to the traditional skills of the old Han army and robbed Gaoyou County.

Dong Zhuo's army is cool, and the locals are unlucky.

was first driven to rebel by the landlords and heroes, and then regarded as a military merit medal by the old Han army brought by Dong Zhuo, a crime suffered twice, not to mention how miserable.

After several battles, Dong Zhuo's army also tested the skills of the rebels, realizing that the rebels were very weak in combat and were not their opponents, so they relaxed their vigilance, but were ambushed by the rebels on the way to Guangling County, and the vanguard army suffered heavy losses, and the vanguard general Guo Yan was wounded.

Dong Zhuo was furious when he heard the news, and ordered Guangling City not to seal the sword for three days after it was broken, and the generals under his command screamed.

The army rushed forward bravely, slaughtered 2,000 rebel blocking troops north of Guangling County, took the captives to the city of Guangling, and bled the captured captives to death in an extremely cruel way, causing many people in the city to be frightened and collapsed.

Originally, they were not a serious combat unit, the battle did not last long, and it was good luck to win a battle occasionally, not the opponent of Dong Zhuo, who was born as an old soldier, under the personal command of Dong Zhuo, Guangling County held out for five days, and was finally broken.

In the chaos, only Lian Wei, the second son of the Lian family, broke through the siege and killed, and the others were all in the city, either killed by Dong Zhuo's army, committed suicide, or were captured.

The rebels were devastated, and most of the Lian family, which was mainly led, and most of the families who joined in were wiped out, and Dong Zhuo killed them all in a very cruel way, and then ordered not to seal the knife for three days.

After Lian Wei broke through, he retreated to Jiangdu with the remnants, intending to retreat to Jiangnan in order to survive, but was caught up by Dong Zhuo's cavalry, and after a hard battle, he was defeated and died ten miles north of Jiangdu, and Jiangdu City was quickly captured by Dong Zhuo.

In just a few days, Dong Zhuo's army swept through Yuguo County and Tangyi County, basically cutting out the roots of the rebels.

Dong Zhuo won a big victory.

This battle is not difficult for an old soldier like Dong Zhuo, and it is also simple for the army under his command, they not only won the battle merits, but also earned a lot of money and obtained a lot of wealth, which is really gratifying.

When the news of the rebellion in Guangling County reached Luoyang, Liu Bei didn't think it was strange, as long as he followed the fixed procedure, he could do it, but more than half a month later, when the news of Dong Zhuo's army to conquer Guangling County came, Liu Bei frowned.

What does it mean to attack the rebels while plundering the army?

Because his army was very well educated by military regulations and military law, Liu Bei had not heard any news of slaughtering cities, looting by arson, arson, etc., for many years, and unconsciously, he thought that the Han army in the world was the same as his command.

It wasn't until he heard about what Dong Zhuo's army was doing in Guangling County that he suddenly realized that there were still "old Han troops" in the world who did not completely follow his instructions and acted.

The New Han Army under his command has good military discipline and will not do anything that hurts the heavens and reason, but the original old Han Army under Dong Zhuo's command of Liangzhou soldiers and Bingzhou soldiers mixed together does not have such a level of military discipline.

They also plundered the area after the war as a legitimate benefit given to them by the imperial court.

Liu Bei sighed deeply.

Then it was decided to transfer Dong Zhuo back to Luoyang, bring his army to Luoyang, take care of it nearby, and then disband and dispose of it nearby.

Whether Dong Zhuo wants to do it or not, he has to do it, he can't tolerate an old Han army continuing to exist in the new order.

If Dong Zhuo is unwilling, then Liu Bei will not ignore him, even if he makes a strong move, he will not let go of this army.

In addition to Dong Zhuo, Liu Bei thought of Qingzhou Mu Liu Yu again.

At present, Liu Yu is already the last state pastor besides Liu Bei himself.

Liu Hong sealed four state pastors, one Liu Bei, one Dong Zhuo, one Liu Yu, and one Liu Yan.

Liu Yan was dismissed, Dong Zhuo was transferred, Liu Bei himself served as one, and the last one left was Liu Yu.

Liu Yan and Dong Zhuo are easy to deal with, they have their own problems, and Liu Bei himself is easy to deal with, and when he finds a suitable candidate, he will step down as Liangzhou Mu.

But Liu Yu is not at fault, as a conservative, traditional, and cautious old bureaucrat, Liu Yu has done quite well in daily affairs.

Since he took office as the pastor of Qingzhou, there has been no large-scale war in Qingzhou, and he himself cherishes his feathers, his reputation, he is honest and honest, he does not do anything that violates the laws of the imperial court, does not let anyone have an excuse to attack him, and never opposes the resolutions of the imperial court.

When Liu Bei dealt with the modern literary school, Liu Yu left the government under the pretext of conquest of the water bandits, and fought everywhere, not giving anyone a chance to find him to intercede, and no one wanted to offend.

When Liu Bei launched the slave restriction order in Qingzhou, many people found Liu Yu hoping to go out of the way and avoid the disaster, but Liu Yu closed the door and said that he was sick.

Later, it seemed that he was afraid that others would not think that he was sick, so he found famous doctors to come to the house one after another to "see a doctor" for him, and transported medicinal materials to the state pastoral mansion one by one, creating signs of his serious illness, which made all parties in the state suspicious.

The county guards and the ministers of various countries could only independently carry out the action of restricting slaves, and when the action was almost carried out, when there was a small-scale rebellion in some places, Liu Yu recovered from his illness quickly, and then began to lead troops to fight against the ministers.

Things do for him without leakage.
