Chapter 10: Dong Zhuo: I used to want to be a loyal minister!

Xiliang!

This is Liangzhou, located in the western part of the empire, so it is also called Xiliang!

Since the founding of the Eastern Han Dynasty, this has been a place that has made the empire very uncomfortable!

The Qiang people here are a big tumor, which has been constantly involved in the energy of the Eastern Han Empire for two hundred years, and a large number of gold and silver treasures, and countless imperial court military expenses have been invested in this bottomless pit!

Some people say that this is all because of the Qiang people, just kill them all.

But there are also people who have calculated an account, and it is difficult for the Qiang people to kill it!

They have horses, they run when the Han army comes, Liangzhou is so big and desolate, it is difficult to kill them all, as long as they can't kill them all at once, then they can't adopt the strategy of massacre.

Some people also say that the local Haoqiang families in Liangzhou have no conscience, and the reason why those Qiang tribes have repeatedly rebelled is that many times they are forced out by the local Haoqiang families in Liangzhou!

Because whenever the Qiang rebelled, the powerful families could first follow the Qiang people to loot the county seat, loot the small and medium-sized handicraftsmen, and make a fortune first.

When the imperial army came, they sold the rebellious Qiang people, so that the treasures and merits were there!

Therefore, they believe that unless the entire Liangzhou family is killed at one time and a major purge is carried out from top to bottom, Liangzhou will always be a bottomless pit and will never be filled!

Because Liangzhou is so desolate, the powerful people of the family have no other good way to make money except to encourage the Qiang people to rebel.

Even now, everyone knows that Liangzhou is a pit, and they all know that Liangzhou's family is strong and has a great bad conscience, but no one will openly pick this out.

Today's Liangzhou is somewhat similar to Liaodong at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and everyone is accustomed to asking the empire for money, grain and officials through Qiang rebellion.

This is already a whole chain of interests, and the families of the entire Liangzhou, and even some of the families in the center, can continue to suck blood from this chain of interests.

And the big man is through this chain, constantly bleeding.

There was even a suggestion above the court to give up Liangzhou!

Just like giving up some counties and counties in the state, giving up Liangzhou!

You Liangzhou people pit the money of the court every day, your conscience is broken, you can't ask for it anymore, the empire doesn't want you anymore, what do you like!

But this suggestion was rejected!

The Liangzhou problem has not been solved!

Today, the decree of the imperial court has been delivered!

"Hey, hey, hey, the imperial court finally remembered us Kansai warriors? The old man still thinks that the imperial court has forgotten about us!" said a super muscular man full of meat.

He is Dong Zhuo, and now the big brother elected by the Liangzhou warriors and the Liangzhou family is recognized by the people of Liangzhou, and he has also become a channel of communication between the Han Empire and the people of Liangzhou.

"Those Kwantung people are just pretending, if they really want to fight, they can't!"

"Yes, it still depends on us Kansai martial artists! I hate that the Yang family's protΓ©gΓ©s are all over the world, and now they don't recognize their identity as Kansai people after they make their careers, it's really hateful!"

The lieutenants in the camp kept complaining about the empire, openly complaining that the top brass of the court was not interesting enough, sorry for them, but no one felt that this situation was inappropriate!

Because the vast majority of Liangzhou people see it this way!

Just as the people of Bingzhou have opinions about the imperial court, the people of Liangzhou also have opinions about the imperial court, and the people of Hebei still have opinions about the imperial court!

Even the powerful families of Jingzhou and Yangzhou in the south still have opinions about the imperial court! Because the high-level of the imperial court is firmly occupied by the families of the Central Plains, and even the Hebei family on which the Guangwu family relied cannot become a high-level family, let alone the families of Jiangdong and Jingzhou in the wilderness?

In the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, there are only a few who have no opinion on the imperial court!

"Virtuous son-in-law, what do you think?" As soon as Dong Zhuo's words fell, the tent that was buzzing with noise just now instantly quieted down, and there was no sound at all!

Dong Zhuo has two sons-in-law, one is named Niu Fu, he is Dong Zhuo's military heir, and it may also be the next Liangzhou boss after Dong Zhuo's death.

There is also a son-in-law named Li Ru, he is a literate person and a very capable reader, but he is an authentic poor man, and he is not even a poor family!

There is a chain of contempt among the officials of the Han Dynasty, the people of the Yuan family and the Yang family look down on other families, the family looks down on the declining family, and the declining family is a poor family!

Poor eggs are not poor people, poor eggs are heads and two-legged sheep, they are not people, and they are not regarded as human beings by the family.

Although the children of the poor family are looked down upon by the family, at least the family will still think that you are a person, the same kind of everyone, but now it is in decline.

And the children of Haoqiang are no longer regarded as people.

It's just a rich mud leg, and it's a shame to talk to you! If it weren't for the fact that you have money, I wouldn't say a word to you!

And Li Ru is the bottom of the contempt chain, he is not even a poor family, nor is he a local hero, his ancestors have not been wide, and his family has no money, so he finally came to Luoyang, and a doctor is almost the ultimate.

He doesn't even have the value of being used, a mud leg, he has no money, what use value can he have? You say he's very smart? When has there ever been a shortage of smart people in this world?

Later, Li Ru came to Liangzhou, was favored by Dong Zhuo, became Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, and also had the idea of dying as a confidant.

"Father-in-law can send troops, but there is no need to send the main force. ”

After setting the tone, Li Ru began to state his reasons: "The reason why my father-in-law has today's status is not because of how much you have contributed to the Han Dynasty, nor because of how many Qiang rebellions you have quelled, but because of your strength!"

"Now father-in-law, you have a heavy army, and there are 20,000 cavalry directly in the hands of your father-in-law, plus your father-in-law's prestige, if necessary, you can climb high and shout, and there are 50,000 cavalry!"

"If 50,000 cavalry go straight to Guanzhong and go straight to Chang'an and go straight to Luoyang, it is enough to shake the world, and it is precisely because the imperial court has taken this possibility into consideration that it will change the suppression to co-optation. ”

"So in any case, strength is the most important thing. ”

Speaking of this, Li Rupi laughed twice, except for a fat man who was still eating meat in a low-key manner, the others only felt a chill in their hearts.

"Hehe, to tell the truth that is ugly, it doesn't matter if my father-in-law wins or loses this battle!"

"Needless to say, my father-in-law won the battle, and all kinds of rewards, gold, silver, and treasures followed. But if my father-in-law loses, will something happen? No, if my father-in-law also loses, how much will there be left of the Han army along the way?"

"The strength of the imperial court has weakened, and the northern army in the hands of His Majesty has been further weakened, and the Yang family and the Yuan family will only be even happier!"

"Huh, Wen Wei, are you saying that both the Yuan family and the Yang family have a heart of disobedience?" Niu Fu suddenly asked.

"No, no, no, of course they don't have a disobedient heart, what's the good of making things against them? All the bad things are done by His Majesty, and all the benefits must be shared among them, is there anything better in the world than this?"

"They are loyal to the imperial court and loyal to the Han Dynasty, but they may not finally be loyal to the emperor of the Liu family!

If you win, everything is easy to say, and if you lose, as long as the Han army suffers heavy losses, then the imperial court will also rely on Dong Zhuo, because at that time, the importance of the Xiliang soldiers and horses in Dong Zhuo's hands has greatly increased.

After thinking about political issues for a while, Dong Zhuo patted his head vigorously: "Hey, I think back then, Dong Zhuo also wanted to be promoted and make a fortune to serve the empire until he became a general." But it's not that I Dong Zhuo doesn't want to be a loyal minister, it's because this world doesn't give loyal ministers a way to live......"

After the holy decree was issued, Dong Zhuo set out with his personal guards of three thousand flying bear troops. On the way, 3,000 cavalry from the Liangzhou family and 4,000 Qiang cavalry were recruited, with a total of 10,000 and 30,000!

When Dong Zhuo left, it was already the twentieth day of the fall of the empire.

In the big tent of the military camp in the barracks, the three brothers Bai Qi, Xiang Yu, Ying Zheng, Zhang Jiao and many high-level officials gathered here, and in the center was a huge sand table.

Now that Lu Zhi has left, the commander of the Han army is the former deputy general Zong Yuan, although he is also a good general, but he is only a good general. ”

"Tomorrow I will lead 10,000 Yellow Turban wrestlers out of the city to attack the nearby landlords Haoqiang, obtain strong men, obtain food, and obtain supplies. The Yellow Turban Army is like a rogue, its biggest advantage is mobile combat, but now it is trapped in Guangzong City......"

"As long as we move, we can destroy the productive forces of the Han army. As long as a certain city was passed by the Yellow Turban Army, the local Taishou and county commanders dared to directly hack the treasury of the Han Army, saying that it was consumed. ”

"As long as we move, we can get a steady stream of poor men who can't live and only have one life left, there are really a lot of such men!"

"Where does such a man have loyalty in his mind? Whoever gives him a bite to eat, he will do it with whomever he wants. With 10,000 Yellow Turban wrestlers in hand, give the old man another month, and he can give you an army of 100,000. ”

"If Zong Yuan sees our changes and can't help but directly send an army to eat the old man, it will be simple. Today's Han army is only more than 80,000 people, and he dispatched 10,000 people, and the old man can easily defeat them in a frontal battle. ”

"Dispatch 20,000 people, it's not impossible to use the terrain to cripple them, dispatch 30,000 people, then the old man will go around in circles with them, look for flaws in the movement, create traps, and then kill them!"

"As for more than 30,000 people, that brother Yu can lead the elite soldiers to directly attack the camp of the Han army with you, the Taoist master. ”

"In that way, the Han army can be completely wiped out before Dong Zhuo's cavalry arrives, and in three months, the entire Jizhou Xing may already be under control. ”

"What if Zong Yuan sits still, what if there are masters in the Han army who see through your plan and don't leave the camp anyway?" Zhang Liang suddenly asked.

What if Zong Yuan doesn't cooperate with you?

What if he doesn't come out anyway?
