Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 350 The Art of Training Mastiffs
"The Son of Heaven wants to lead a personal conquest to wipe out the Baibo bandits?" Yuan Shao looked at the secret report in his hand, and his eyebrows that flew into his temples almost stood up: "The remnants of Baibo are just lingering, how can they alarm the Son of Heaven's personal conquest?"

The so-called Baibo thieves are the peasant uprising army in Bingzhou, led by Han Xian, Li Le, Hu Cai and others. They got their name because they gathered in Baibo Valley.At the beginning, because Ding Yuan, the big brother of Bingzhou, led his troops to Beijing, he was killed by Lu Bu, a professional godfather killer, and all the ministries of Bingzhou were incorporated by Dong Zhuo, so the defense of Bingzhou became very weak at once.The Baibo army took advantage of this opportunity to attack the city and seize territory, gaining momentum, and its power continued to grow. In the later period of Dong Zhuo's rule, it gradually became the second largest rebel force after Heishan, Hebei.

But today is different from the past. Since Liu Xie's personal conquest, he has promoted benevolent government and divided the land among the people. The common people heard that as long as they register their household registration in the newspaper, they can get the land. How can they follow those robbers and bandits to start a revolution? Wood.Han Xian, Li Le, Hu Cai and others had no choice but to watch the fierce bandits under them robbing their homes, intending to challenge the authority of the Eastern Han court with terrorist activities.

However, Liu Xie is not the kind of stupid emperor who only plays soft tricks.Seeing how arrogant the Baibo bandit was, he ordered his powerful general Ma Chao to lead the old soldiers to attack.On the one hand, it gave credit to Ma Chao, on the other hand, it used Ma Chao's prestige to subdue those old soldiers, and at the same time beat up the Baibo bandits crying for their father and mother.

Until later, when Liu Xie recruited Ma Chao to go out of the Kanto with the army, the Baibo bandits had been beaten by Ma Chao to the point where there were not more than [-] people left.And he can only hide pitifully on the grassland of Bingzhou and play with rabbits, and his life is very miserable.

Therefore, when Yuan Shao received such a secret letter, he looked at Dong Bai vividly and said: Are you kidding me?Is the emperor the kind of person who has nothing to do when he is full?
Dong Bai, who had gone through many ups and downs, was no longer Amon under Wu. Seeing Yuan Shao's sullen expression, he took the initiative to say: "I have said that Liu Xie is the kind of person who does everything without letting others see his true intentions." Although the secret report said that he sent troops to wipe out Baibo, I am afraid that except for those old and ignorant ministers in the Han court, no one with insight would believe it."

"What do you mean?..." Yuan Shao took a cautious look at Dong Bai this time.Before, he didn't think Guo Tu had any deep meaning in bringing a woman back, but now it seems that Guo Tu really found a rare female strategist for him.

And, in a sense, he is also a strategist who has the same purpose as himself.And this same purpose made Yuan Shao unreservedly choose to trust Dong Bai.

"If you look at it from the perspective I learned from Han Sui, Liu Xie's real purpose should be here!" Dong Baixin pointed, and his slender white fingers were illuminated by the candlelight, revealing a dark but dark shadow. A hazy murderous aura.And the location of the cardamom nails is Hanoi County above Hulao Pass on the map!

Hanoi County is adjacent to Hedong in the west, Bingzhou in the north, Luoyang in the south, and Jizhou in the east. It is the backbone of the world, and its strategic significance is extraordinary.When Yuan Shao took a look, he could see it naturally, he couldn't help but tremble with fear, and the eyes he looked at Dong Bai were much more complicated and profound.

"Liu Xie's envoys have plans at every step, and they are intertwined. Take Hanoi alone as an example. If he suddenly takes down the army, he will have an important point to attack and retreat to Jizhou from then on. On the other hand, if such news suddenly arrives here, the morale of our army will definitely be shaken. Now that Gongsun Zan has assembled here under the false pretense that Zhao Yun is protecting Liu Yu, if he takes this opportunity to attack aggressively, our army will be attacked by the enemy at that time. The danger of eternal doom!"

After Dong Bai's words fell, Yuan Shao's forehead was already dripping with cold sweat.He thought that he no longer underestimated Liu Xie, but he didn't expect that even so, he still underestimated that 14-year-old boy in Chang'an!

I thought that I was just setting up strategies in Chang'an and Guanxi, with the intention of curbing the pace of the Han Dynasty's swallowing up the world, so that I would have enough time to pacify Hebei.But he didn't expect that young man to have extraordinary sensitivity. Not only did he deftly defeat his own plan, but he quickly and powerfully launched such a series of shocking and sharp revenges every step of the way!
And, what's even more frightening is that in Hanoi County, he was really lax.

On the surface, it seems that Hanoi is under his rule, but Zhang Yang, the prefect of Hanoi, is not Yuan Shao's confidant at all.

Zhang Yang was originally a subordinate of General He Jinxuan, a middle-class man.When Yuan Shao conspired to cut off the eunuchs and put the scholars and officials in power, he persuaded He Jin to order Zhang Yang to enlist in Bingzhou.Not wanting to encounter the road cut off by the Baibo uprising, Zhang Yang had no choice but to lead the recruited troops to fight against the Baibo army guerrillas.

If we talk about Zhang Yang's second-rate character, it's because of the bad things he did later, he only cared about playing with the rebels, and as a result, many major events were delayed.As a result, when Dong Zhuo was in trouble in Luoyang, Zhang Yang was unable to return to Beijing, and became a lone army of He Jin and the rest of his troops.

After that, Zhang Yang met Yu Fuluo, the Shanyu of the Southern Huns, who had suffered similarly to him.The two armies worked together, running around in the troubled times without knowing what to say, beating Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao, but basically they were all soy sauce characters.Later, when they were stationed in Neihuang, the two armies had a disagreement. Zhang Yang preferred to vote for Yuan Shao, and Yu Fuluo preferred to vote for Dong Zhuo.

In the end, Qubei and Liu Bao entered Chang'an and were subdued by the emperor Yili. The Southern Huns turned against Zhang Yang.Since then, Zhang Yang has been stationed in Hanoi, licking his face and asking Yuan Shao for food. Yuan Shao had just won Jizhou at that time, and he had already killed Wang Kuang, the previous governor of Hanoi.He had no choice but to pretend that Zhang Yang was the prefect of Hanoi, and he officially accepted Zhang Yang as the younger brother.

Letting someone like Zhang Yang deal with the Son of Heaven, Yuan Shao closed his eyes in despair... He could almost be sure that the Son of Heaven would be able to get shit out of Zhang Yang, a bastard, without any effort!Moreover, what makes Yuan Shao even more desperate is that now all his troops are fighting against Gongsun Zan on the northern front, Yecheng is empty, and he has no power to return to help.

"This is the autumn of my Yuan family's life and death. According to your opinion, how should we deal with it?" Now the situation is critical, and Yuan Shao went to the doctor in a hurry to ask Dong Bai for advice.

Dong Bai's exquisite and bewitching black eyebrows frowned, and said with a trace of disdain: "I am not a man of heaven and earth, and this kind of military strategy is not my specialty. Although Mr. Guo voted here at the beginning, he thought Yuan Gong was brave and handsome. Strong people..."

Dong Bai's words were soft but hard, clearly ridiculing Yuan Shao for being inferior to Liu Xie.Just when Yuan Shao was about to get angry, unexpectedly, Dong Bai seemed to have thought of something, and there was a trace of grief and indignation in his brows.Seeing that Yuan Shao was about to make a fuss, he changed the subject and continued to calmly say: "Yuan Gong doesn't need to worry, there are so many famous scholars in Hebei, and Liu Xie is not invincible even though Liu Xie is full of tricks."

"You mean?..." Yuan Shao suppressed the anger in his heart. When the disaster came, he was indeed more responsible than his younger brother.

Dong Bai let out a few dry laughs, before provoking the bottom line of Yuan Shao's anger, he stopped at the right time, and said again: "Let Bucai teach you a way to control the subordinates first, so that every military meeting will not be so chaotic... Yuan Shao Do you know animals like mastiffs?"

Yuan Shao came from a famous family, although he didn't like hawks and dogs like Cao Cao when he was a child, but he still knew a little about mastiffs.But he didn't like a woman talking to him in that condescending manner, so he nodded stiffly.

"Mastiffs are ferocious in nature but loyal in character. All nobles in Chang'an love them. But mastiffs are lonely and self-confident. If several mastiffs are in the same cage, they must fight to the death. Those who train mastiffs use this method. Just a mere bone can make several mastiffs roar blood and fight until the most ferocious one is selected..."

Yuan Shao stared at Dong Bai intently. He admitted that Dong Bai's words were indeed very attractive, but what attracted him even more was that when Dong Bai said these words, his exquisite and unparalleled face seemed to become vivid. The hazel pupils even shone with brilliance, full of endless nostalgia and admiration.

Yuan Shao also had a time when he was a young boy, and at this moment, he suddenly understood why Dong Bai had such an expression at this moment.So, he said, "What do you mean, I don't need to worry about other things, I just need to throw a bone, so that the advisers under my command can fight bravely like a mastiff to show how extraordinary I am?"

"The literati have always looked down on each other, not to mention that they are all truly resourceful and capable people. Naturally, they are proud of their talents and cannot tolerate others. But as long as Yuan Gong will no longer be a mastiff dog, but only a mastiff breeder, there will be unexpected surprises." effect."

"So that's it, I've been taught. When I was young, I summoned those able men back, and told the story of the current crisis, to see who among them is a mastiff and who is a dog!" Yuan Shao bowed his hands to a woman in a rare way. Fei Yang said.

But just when Dong Bai was about to hide behind the screen again, Yuan Shao looked at Dong Bai's graceful and lovely back, and suddenly couldn't help but say for some reason: "As far as I know, the wind of mastiff in Chang'an started from Your Majesty. And the reason why His Majesty likes mastiffs is because a woman hurt him with mastiffs in the street. You must have learned the way of controlling people from yourself..."

"Enough!" Dong Bai suddenly turned around. At this moment, there was no tenderness in her eyes, but like a beast with a torn wound: "Yuan Gong should go through the current difficulties first, and then tell me these anecdotes about the capital. !"
