Dong Zhuo's reputation is indeed bad, but to the entire Kansai region, especially Liangzhou, he is a sage-like existence.
The Qiang people have been causing harm to Xiliang for decades, but have never been able to find an effective solution. Even the Han Dynasty was brought down by this.
However, since Dong Zhuo became the shepherd of Liangzhou, he not only quickly put an end to the Keqiang rebellion and ended the decades of continuous war in Liangzhou, but also changed the extremely barren situation in Liangzhou.
Therefore, Dong Zhuo's status in the hearts of Liangzhou people is the same as Qin Wen's status in the hearts of Bingzhou people. He is simply the savior.
In the hearts of all Xiliang soldiers, Dong Zhuo was a person of faith, so as long as Dong Zhuo was still alive, no one would dare to reorganize Liang army prisoners of war.
Anyone who has done this before, without exception, has all been counterattacked by the Liang Army. With just a little provocation, the Liang Army can instigate those surrendered troops to rebel again.
After the alliance against Dong was dispersed, the princes and generals lost all the Liang army prisoners of war to Qin Hao because in their view, the Liang army prisoners of war were worthless.
You can't kill or release them, they're a waste of food if you're locked up, and you'll hurt yourself if you don't take care of them. It's simply worthless among the chickens.
Qin Hao did not dare to take in Liang army prisoners of war before. After all, as long as Dong Zhuo is still there, it will be a time bomb.
But now that Dong Zhuo is dead, Qin Hao can still safely recruit these Liang soldiers who have lost their faith.
The news of Dong Zhuo's death was still under seal. Liu Bowen and others did not know about it yet. Qin Hao considered it difficult to explain the source of the information, so he did not reveal it directly. After all, this matter would be exposed sooner or later.
Seeing that Qin Hao seemed to be worried about the loyalty of the Liang Army's surrendered troops, Liu Bowen immediately smiled and said: "My lord, the loyalty of the Liang Army prisoners of war is indeed a big problem, but as long as the surrendered troops are recruited carefully, all those who are loyal to Dong Zhuo will be included.
They were excluded, and their organization was completely disrupted for training, so that the probability of prisoners of war rebelling was reduced to a minimum."
"What the military advisor said is true."
Qin Hao's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he smiled and said: "However, if we exclude those who are loyal to Dong Zhuo, the only one in our army who can do this is probably General Ding Yanping."
Most of the Liang army generals are unwilling to surrender. Among the Liang generals who have surrendered to the Qin army so far, Ding Yanping has the highest rank. The reason why he surrendered was because his adopted son Luo Cheng played the emotional card. In addition,
It was because of Qin Hao’s personal persuasion.
"General Ding Yanping, I now order you to go to the prisoner of war camp immediately and select 20,000 Liang Army prisoners of war to organize into an army."
As soon as Qin Hao gave the order, Ding Yanping immediately stood up and said in a deep voice: "Promise."
As a senior general of the Liang Army, Ding Yanping naturally has a high prestige after serving in the Liang Army for many years. Using him, he can not only identify relatively pure soldiers, but also restrain this surrendered army to a great extent.
"Su Dingfang, after the 20,000 Liang Army prisoners of war have been selected, you will be the chief general and General Ding Yanping will be the deputy general. Then immediately lead the 20,000 troops to Hanoi."
Of course Qin Hao knew that Ding Yanping was the most suitable person to lead the Liang army to surrender, but Ding Yanping was a surrendered general after all, and he had only surrendered not long ago.
Although Qin Hao believed in Ding Yanping's loyalty and character, directly appointing him as the commander of an army so quickly would definitely arouse the jealousy and dissatisfaction of other generals in the army, so he finally chose Su Dingfang, the commander-in-chief.
Su Dingfang was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately said in a deep voice: "Thank you for your trust, Lord, I will ensure that no inch of land in Hanoi is lost."
Bai Qi, Xue Rengui, and Yue Fei, who once started on the same starting line, have now become world-famous generals step by step. Although Su Dingfang has been making progress in these years, the gap between them has become wider and wider. Naturally, in his heart
It is also extremely unwilling.
Su Dingfang wanted to prove his ability, but he always lacked a chance to show it, and now this opportunity finally came.
20,000 Liang troops surrendered, plus 10,000 elite Qin troops, but their opponents were only the miscellaneous troops in the south.
Defending the four counties of Hanoi was not difficult at all in Su Dingfang's opinion, and as long as he could seize the right opportunity, he might not be able to severely damage the invading Allied Forces in the South.
"Report... the cavalry is reporting to the lord, General Bai Qi has sent important military information."
The soldier quickly ran over and handed over the scroll, but Qin Hao's pupils shrank slightly after taking it. Seeing this, Liu Bowen asked: "My Lord, what's the news?"
Qin Hao frowned and said: "The spies sent by Bai Qi found out that Yang Jian led the army in the second half of the retreat. The entire army hung up white flags and supported Dong Zhuo's coffin all the way to Guanzhong."
What surprised Qin Hao was naturally not the news of Dong Zhuo's death, but the fact that Yang Jian took the initiative to expose the news of Dong Zhuo's death before retreating to Hangu Pass. Didn't this give Li Yuan an opportunity to prepare in advance?
By the way, Yang Jian must have gotten the news that Li Yuan is in Nanxiang and not in Guanzhong.
It seems that Yang Jian is full of confidence this time, Qin Hao thought to himself, and at the same time he couldn't help but feel troubled by Yang Jian's careful thinking.
After Dong Zhuo's death, Yang Jian quickly unified the thinking of the Liang army, withdrew from Mianchi overnight and returned to Guanzhong to seize power, leaving behind the strongest Li Yuanba and Yuwen Chengdu, whose political stance was unclear...
Yang Jian's current series of reactions were almost seamless, as if they had been prepared in advance. This also made Qin Hao wonder whether Dong Zhuo was killed by Yang Jian.
"It seems that it is necessary to ask Di Renjie or Bao Zheng to investigate."
Qin Hao has never forgotten these two detectives under him.
These two people are simply born to be geniuses in solving crimes. Not only did they solve the cases within their own jurisdiction, they also took the time to actively help nearby counties solve cases. The two even competed in solving cases.
Recently, a major case of serial rape and murder occurred in Nanyang. The murderer traveled across more than a dozen counties in Nanyang and openly raped and killed thirty-six women. His arrogance and cruelty shocked the whole of Nanyang.
Qin Zheng, the prefect of Nanyang, was furious when he learned about it. He immediately set up a special task force for the case and ordered Di Renjie and Bao Zheng to jointly solve the case.
It was just a rape-murder case, which Di Renjie and Bao Zheng thought was not that difficult, and they wanted to compare themselves with each other, so they naturally investigated it separately.
This time Di Renjie saw through the disguise of the murderer before Bao Zheng, and this murderer was none other than Yun Zhonghe, one of the four notorious villains in the world.
Yun Zhonghe's strength is not strong, he is just a second-rate peak warrior, but his Qinggong is extremely good, and it would be extremely difficult to catch him if he just absconds.
Due to Di Renjie's carelessness and the fact that Li Yuanfang was not around, Yun Zhonghe escaped from being rounded up by nearly a hundred county soldiers in front of everyone.
