His son-in-law Niu Fu felt strange that Dong Zhuo did not immediately lead his army south to put down the rebellion.
He felt that since there was a rebellion, he should immediately send troops to suppress it, seize the opportunity before the rebels became big, and eliminate the rebels in the cradle. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a bad thing if the rebels grew bigger?
Moreover, if other places got the news and rebelled too, wouldn't Dong Zhuo be in a very bad situation?
Facing Niu Fu's worried questions, Dong Zhuo rolled his eyes at Niu Fu.
"What do you know? The more people rebel, the bigger the scale will be. No matter how many rebels there are, I am not afraid. In the end, they are just a mob. They have no experience in marching and fighting. They only rely on blood and bravery, which is of no use at all.
The more such thieves there are and the larger the scale, the more credit I will get. If I have enough credit, I can return to Luoyang earlier and take up the high position of Jiuqing. Their lives will be exchanged for my future. This is the most important thing.
of!"
Niu Fu suddenly realized.
"My father-in-law is very considerate."
Dong Zhuo smiled coldly and stopped talking.
So Dong Zhuo ordered the army to make preparations for battle without haste, and at the same time sent people to go out in all directions to collect intelligence information, wanting to know if anyone had followed the rebels in Guangling County to rebel——
He very much hoped that more people who were not afraid of death would rise up and rebel, so that he would have more credit.
But unexpectedly, he delayed sending troops for ten days, giving the neighboring areas enough time to react. However, the neighboring areas did not react at all. They seemed not enthusiastic about it, even those areas that seemed to be in a very unpleasant situation.
There was no response to the call for rebellion.
Are you so afraid of the court?
No courage at all!
Coward!
Dong Zhuo's enthusiastic 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 go to Guangling County to suppress the rebellion.
No matter how small the mosquito legs are, they are still meat, right?
On February 27, the fourth year of Jian'an, Dong Zhuo's vanguard army fought against the rebels in Sheyang County, Guangling County, won the victory, and recaptured Sheyang County. Then they used the traditional skills of the old Han army to seize Sheyang County.
Enough.
On the second day of March, the vanguard army arrived in Gaoyou County and killed the rebels who occupied Gaoyou County. They once again used the traditional skills of the old Han army and robbed Gaoyou County on the grounds that Gaoyou County was a bandit.
.
Dong Zhuo's army was happy, but the locals were unlucky.
First, he was driven to rebel by the powerful landowners, and then he was treated as a military medal by the old Han army brought by Dong Zhuo. He suffered the same crime twice, not to mention how miserable it was.
After several battles, Dong Zhuo's army also tested the capabilities of the rebels. They realized that the rebels were weak in combat and were no match for them, so they relaxed their vigilance. As a result, they were ambushed by the rebels on their way to Guangling County.
The vanguard army suffered heavy losses, and the vanguard general Guo Si was injured.
Dong Zhuo was furious after hearing the news and ordered that the sword should not be sealed for three days after Guangling City was destroyed. The irritated generals under his command howled.
The army rushed forward bravely and massacred two thousand rebel blocking troops in the north of Guangling County. They took the prisoners to the gate of Guangling City and killed the captured prisoners in an extremely cruel way, causing fear and collapse in many people in the city.
Originally, they were not a serious fighting force. The fighting did not take long. Occasionally they were lucky to win a battle. They were no match for Dong Zhuo, who was a veteran soldier. Under Dong Zhuo's personal command, Guangling County held on for five days and was finally defeated.
Break through.
In the chaos, only Lian Wei, the second son of the Lian family, broke out. The others were all in the city and were either killed by Dong Zhuo's army, committed suicide, or were captured.
The rebels suffered a devastating blow, and most of the main leader Lian family and most of the families who joined were wiped out. Dong Zhuo killed all the survivors in a very cruel way, and then ordered that the sword should not be sealed for three days.
After Lian Wei broke through the siege, he retreated to Jiangdu with his remaining troops, intending to retreat to the south of the Yangtze River to survive. However, he was overtaken by Dong Zhuo's cavalry and lost after a fierce battle. He died ten miles north of Jiangdu City. Jiangdu City was soon captured by Dong Zhuo.
.
In just a few days, Dong Zhuo's army swept through Yuguo County and Tangyi County, basically wiping out the roots of the rebels.
Dong Zhuo won a great victory.
This battle was not difficult for veteran soldiers like Dong Zhuo, and it was also simple for the troops under his command. Not only did they gain military exploits, they also made a lot of money and gained a lot of wealth. It was really
congratulations.
When the news of the rebellion in Guangling County reached Luoyang, Liu Bei was not surprised. He just had to follow the fixed procedures. However, more than half a month later, the news came that Dong Zhuo was leading troops to conquer Guangling County, and Liu Bei frowned.
.
What does it mean to attack the rebels and loot at the same time?
Because his army was well educated by military regulations and laws, Liu Bei had not heard of massacres, looting, and arson for many years. Unknowingly, he thought that the Han people in the world
The troops are all the same as those under his command.
It wasn't until he heard about what Dong Zhuo's army had done in Guangling County that he suddenly realized that there were still "old Han armies" in the world who did not fully obey his orders.
The New Han army under his command had good military discipline and would not do anything harmful to nature, but the original Old Han army under Dong Zhuo, which was a mixture of Liangzhou soldiers and Bingzhou soldiers, did not have such a level of military discipline.
They also regarded looting the local area after the war as a legal 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, guard it nearby, and then disband and dispose of it nearby.
Whether Dong Zhuo wanted to or not, he had to do this. He could not tolerate an old Han army continuing to exist in the new order.
If Dong Zhuo is unwilling, then Liu Bei will not pay attention to him. Even if he takes action forcefully, he will not let this army go.
In addition to Dong Zhuo, Liu Bei also thought of Qingzhou Mu Liu Yu.
At present, Liu Yu is the last state pastor besides Liu Bei himself.
Liu Hong granted four governorships, one to Liu Bei, one to Dong Zhuo, one to Liu Yu, and one to Liu Yan.
Liu Yan was removed from his post, Dong Zhuo was transferred, Liu Bei himself took up the post, and the last one left was Liu Yu.
Liu Yan and Dong Zhuo were easy to deal with, but they had their own problems, and Liu Bei was also easy to deal with. When he found a suitable candidate, he would step down as the shepherd of Liangzhou.
But Liu Yu did nothing wrong. As a conservative, traditional, and cautious old bureaucrat, Liu Yu did a pretty good job in daily affairs.
Since he took office as the shepherd of Qingzhou, no large-scale war has broken out in Qingzhou. He himself also cherishes his feathers and reputation, is honest and honest, does not do anything that violates the laws of the court, does not allow anyone to have an excuse to attack him, and treats
The court's decisions were never opposed.
When Liu Bei was dealing with the Jinwen school, Liu Yu left his headquarters under the pretext of conquering the water bandits, and went to fight everywhere, not giving anyone a chance to intercede with him, as no one wanted to offend him.
When Liu Bei launched the slave restriction order in Qingzhou, many people came to Liu Yu hoping to find ways to avoid the disaster, but Liu Yu closed his doors to thank guests and claimed to be ill.
Later, as if he was afraid that others would not think he was sick, he invited famous doctors one after another to come to his house to "treat" him, and transported truckloads of medicinal materials to the state pastor's house, creating signs that he was seriously ill, causing confusion in the state.
All forces were in shock and doubt.
The governors of each county and the ministers of each country could only carry out the slave restriction order independently. When the operation was almost completed and a small-scale rebellion broke out in some places, Liu Yu recovered quickly and then began to lead his troops to conquer the non-subordinates.
