Chapter 174: The Storm Rises
As the saying goes: a long drought and a sweet rain, a foreign country meets an old acquaintance, the cave house spends candle night, and the gold list is named.
This is Dong Zhuo's second wedding since he came, and the second time there is a banquet to advocate the worship of heaven and earth, even so, Dong Zhuo's heart is still full of expectations, after all, the objects of the two marriages are different, and the customs and tastes are naturally different.
For Zhen Jiang, Dong Zhuo has been coveting it for a long time, and on the way before, he was almost succeeded by Dong Zhuo many times, but in the end he was destroyed by Zhen Mi, just like the meat in his mouth, but it just made you instigate a few times of the meat but it was gone, that kind of taste made Dong Zhuo crazy.
Now, he can finally get his wish, so that Dong Zhuo can have the opportunity to enjoy the game openly.
For three days, Dong Zhuo never stepped out of the door.
Whether it is a wife or a concubine, no matter what, Zhen Jiang can be regarded as entering Dong Zhuo's mansion openly. Compared with it, three days after Zhen Jiang entered the Dong Mansion, Diao Chan and He Lian, who were immediately included in the mansion by Dong Zhuo, looked a little shabby.
When he was snatched back by Dong Zhuoqiang, Diao Chan was shelved by Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo at that time was facing an existential crisis, and he didn't have the time and energy to pay attention to her, and later after returning to Chang'an, he indulged in Feng Qian, Feng Ying, Zou Rong and Princess Wannian.
And He Lian, whether it is for Dong Zhuo or for herself, it was an accident for the two to have a relationship, if not, I am afraid that the two of them are still strangers at this time, even if Dong Zhuo has always coveted He Lian, he will not force him to do anything, not to mention He Lian's special identity, Dong Zhuo can't get her into the door at all.
A robbed maid and a queen with a special identity, the two entered the door at the same time, Dong Zhuo finally only dared to set up a table of banquets at home, in addition to everyone in the family, only a few people were eligible to participate.
Time is moving quietly, and the cool land under Dong Zhuo's jurisdiction is also quietly brewing, the military system has been basically adjusted, the duties of the soldiers of the conquest and the soldiers of the garrison are separated, and the family residence of the military region is basically completed near the summer, and Dong Zhuo has already let Gu Yong do the migration work after that.
After the military reform, 70,000 soldiers under Dong Zhuo's command were dismissed, nearly 210,000 were turned into garrison soldiers, nearly half of the nearly 700,000 army went in an instant, and the remaining more than 400,000 people.
At the same time as the military reform, the cooperatives were also spreading from Chang'an to the surrounding areas at a very fast speed, and by the end of April, nearly two-thirds of the construction had been completed in Yongliang, and more than two million people had been resettled.
The plan of the year lies in the spring, after the early spring, not only Dong Zhuo is quietly accumulating this strength here, almost all parts of the world are developing in full swing, and the first to make a move is Yuan Shao, who is far away in the Bohai Sea in Jizhou.
The Zhen family is rich in the world, but no one could have imagined that the Zhen family would change its face almost overnight and cast under Dong Zhuo's account, and after the news of Zhen Jiang's marriage into the Dong Mansion spread all over the world, it shocked a large number of people, and Dong Zhuo's reputation began to spread among the market through the Zhen family.
Zhen Yu couldn't leave together, but after the news of Zhen Jiang came out, no one dared to pay attention to him anymore, after all, Dong Zhuo's army of hundreds of thousands was not vegetarian.
Whether it is Yuan Shao or Han Fu, neither of them can eat the Zhen family, and Dong Zhuo got the Zhen family under their noses, which is a blow to the two of them, and it is a slap in the face of Chi Guoguo.
The fourth generation and three dukes of the Yuan family, protégés and former officials are all over the world, even Jizhou Mu Hanfu is also from the Yuan family, Yuan Kui is not dead, the family is not destroyed, it is the prestige of the Yuan family, far from the Yuan family in history can be compared, plus Yuan Kui dominated the imperial court, in the name of Kuangfu Han family, Liu Xie was completely regarded as a puppet emperor, saying that the Yuan family at this time was a giant It is not indispensable, Dong Zhuo's actions stimulated Yuan Shao.
In February 191 AD, Yuan Shao borrowed the name of Yuan Kui and used the policy of Tian Feng and Fu to let Han Fu abdicate and give way to Xian, and the post of Jizhou pastor was given to Yuan Shao. In mid-March, Han Fu went to the table and played Yuan Shao as the pastor of Jizhou, and Liu Xie agreed.
Almost at the same time, Yuan Shu took Nanyang as the center and sent troops to quickly sweep most of Yuzhou, leaving only Yuzhou Thorn Shi Kong Ling to survive. Liu Dai couldn't borrow food, so he set out to kill Qiao Mao, but someone leaked the news and asked Qiao Mao to flee to Jizhou with his troops.
The rest of Wang Kuang, Zhang Miao, Ma Teng, Gongsun Chan and others were not to be left behind, and they developed vigorously one after another, and among these people, Ma Teng and Gongsun Chan were the happiest in making trouble.
After being driven to Jiuquan and the more west of Jiuquan by Dong Zhuo, Ma Teng and Han Sui had almost squandered the old family money that they had accumulated for many years. It's just that Niu Fu is steady, the attack is insufficient and the defense is more than enough, relying on the city wall of Zhangye, dragging the footsteps of the Qiang people under the city of Zhangye.
In fact, between Liangzhou and the Qiang people, it is not that there is only such a way to be feasible, but just as Ma Teng has a good relationship with the Qiang people, Dong Zhuo's early years were famous for fighting the Qiang people, not only that, Dong Zhuo's eldest daughter Dong Yu married the leader of the Qiang people, but the person died a little early, and now Dong Yu is widowed at home.
What's more, the Qiang people are chaotic, and the Qiang people alone are divided into more than a dozen branches, fighting each other, and under normal circumstances, they are almost inviolable, and now Dong Zhuo is stronger, and the Qiang people adjacent to Yongliang dare not come up to brush the tiger's beard.
Yongliang bitter cold, even more so in the west and north, Ma Teng and Han Sui were also forced to be helpless, there was not much manpower in their hands, and it was rare to get supplies and supplements in Jiuquan and other places, several battles, in addition to the sharp reduction in manpower, the gains were even supplemented a lot, and if this continued, without Dong Zhuo's hands, they would soon be left to fend for themselves.
"Kill, now we only have this way to go, if we can't kill back to Jincheng, I'm afraid we won't even be able to survive next year." Under Zhangye City, the coalition army was dragged here, Ma Teng, Han Sui and others couldn't help but feel a little anxious, unlike the Qiang people who came just to loot, Ma Teng and Han Sui wanted to kill a way out for themselves, looking at Ma Teng, who had been gloomy and silent, Han Sui suddenly became more impatient.
