……

Dong Zhuo's first step was to keep a part of the food on hand for military use, and give the remaining one-third to the refugees.

As for the remaining two-thirds of the grain, Dong Zhuo distributed it to various places in Sanfu for sale, and through this method, a wave of local grain prices was severely suppressed.

After this operation, not only the people at the bottom were relieved of their urgent needs, but also many small businessmen who did not know the situation were worried about the collapse of food prices, and hurriedly shipped along with them, which further made the price of food sluggish.

As for those gold, silver, jewelry, etc., which were easy to sell, Dong Zhuo ordered them to sell them, and then went to the Kanto counties to buy food and shipped them to Sansuke.

The ones that are not easy to sell are mostly selected by the generals under him, and the matter is directly divided.

……

Well, the only ones who were injured were probably those big merchants who stockpiled grain.

……

Although they were not as unlucky as the previous three businessmen who were directly ransacked by Dong Zhuo, but they were manipulated by such a hand, and each of these food hoarders lost a lot of money.

Among them, there are many merchants behind the manipulation of some aristocratic families.

After coming and going, Dong Zhuo almost became a public enemy in Luoyang because of this behavior.

……

At this moment, on the other hand, he himself does not have the slightest sense of crisis of being isolated.

Rather, Dong Zhuo felt... quite happy after having robbed the local aristocratic family in this way?

He achieved his goal at a very small price, but the other party has nothing to do with him...

Dong Zhuo wished he could copy all the homes of rich households in Luoyang, big and small, right now.

Then again, as a leader, although Dong Zhuo didn't show it on the surface, he knew very well in his heart that after this incident, he had become a root in the hearts of the Luoyang court and even the powerful local aristocratic families. stabbed.

Even if it doesn't reach the point where it is notorious and known to all women and children, it can be said that it is a family class that wants everyone to get it and kill it.

In order to protect his own safety, he still found his counselor, Li Ru, his second son-in-law, and asked him about the next countermeasures.

……

"Wen You, you have seen all the civil and military officials in Luoyang City, and none of them are reliable!"

"Nowadays, some people in the court have moved to exclude dissidents, and Lu Zhi's previous actions are the best evidence."

"If we keep doing nothing...they dare to wait for me here today, tomorrow these people will take the initiative to set the trap and lure us in!"

"There is only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to guard against a thief? If this goes on, I'm afraid it won't be long before we are exhausted by these people."

"There is a saying in ancient times, if you fight against the outside world, you must first secure the inside. I don't know Wenyou, do you have relevant countermeasures?"

Sitting in the tent at night, Dong Zhuo asked Li Ru aloud while looking at the daytime report in his hand.

……

"Countermeasures?"

"Hehe, I don't have any countermeasures, but if the lord is worried about something recently, then I can give the lord some advice."

Standing beside Dong Zhuo, Li Ru had an inexplicable smile on his face.

……

"Oh?"

Looking up at Li Ru, Dong Zhuo was taken aback when he heard the words, then shook his head knowingly, and chuckled:

"If you have, just tell me, don't talk nonsense with me again..."

Afterwards, he lowered his head again without looking at Li Ru.

"This method...is simple to say."

I saw Li Ru stepping slowly in front of Dong Zhuo, then bowed and said in a low voice:

"My lord, you need to know that everything should have its roots and its roots. Your own strength is the root, while your skills and prostitution are the bottom line. As long as you have the bottom line, the so-called bottom line is actually not important."

"The reason why my lord is threatened here in Luoyang seems to be because your actions have caused conflicts with the officials, but in the final analysis, isn't it because your power is too weak that it makes them think of hurting you?"

……

"Well?"

"what do you mean……"

After hearing Li Ru's two words, Dong Zhuo raised his head with great interest, and temporarily put the scroll in his hand aside.

"You mean, I don't have enough military power?"

"If you have absolute power here in Luoyang...then those guys in the court, even the emperor Liu Bian, should be wary and dare not attack me..."

……

"exactly."

Li Ru nodded.

"It's like a cheetah hunting an elk but never attacking a bear, and a hound yelling at a rabbit but never baring its teeth at a tiger. As long as you have absolute power, then these people in Luoyang City will be Absolutely dare not lay hands on you."

"There are [-] Xiliang elite soldiers following us into Luoyang now. These people may be very powerful in other places, but in Luoyang, they are not enough!"

"It is precisely because Lu Zhi and others are confident that they hold the Forbidden Army of the West Garden, even if you lead the army to rebel, they will be able to suppress the chaos, so they will attack you."

"If we had 20 Xiliang troops stationed in Luoyang, who would have the guts to fight against you?"

……

Tomorrow will add more, definitely will.

Chapter 72 Captain Li

"Hiss...that makes sense!"

"Why don't we order now to deploy some soldiers from outside the pass to Luoyang?"

"Although the number of 20 is not, I can still make up [-] elite soldiers!"

Bowing his head and stroking his beard, Dong Zhuo tentatively asked Li Ru.

But soon, he overturned his own thoughts.

"No, no, this is too slow..."

"If we wait for this group of soldiers to be transferred to Luoyang, I'm afraid it will be too late..."

……

Unlike when he came here, if he mobilized an army of 10 people from the frontier to Luoyang at one time, the food, grass, and manpower needed to be used were very different from his original 2 people who went into battle lightly.

In addition, it will take time to send the news from my side, count the soldiers and officers who stayed in Xiliang, and integrate the troops...

When they come to Luoyang, two months later?Or three months later?

……

Dong Zhuo couldn't afford such a long time cost.

……

"That's right, my lord, you avoided the assassination of those courtiers this time. These people's plans did not succeed, and they will only get worse in the future."

In front of Dong Zhuo, Li Ru also whispered:

"This time, with the kindness left by Yang Ci, Taizhong doctor Yang Biao is willing to send you a letter, but next time those people are on guard, it will not be as simple as this time."

"If you want to increase your strength during this period, you can only do it as soon as possible. It's best to turn yourself into a beast that everyone can't afford to provoke before everyone reacts!"

……

After some words, Li Ru persuaded Dong Zhuo earnestly, and Dong Zhuo immediately began to think about the situation in Luoyang City.

If it's fast... the fastest way is to recruit troops from Luoyang, isn't it?

……

It's just a pity that the newly recruited soldiers have not received sufficient training, so they cannot be used to great effect.Coupled with the lack of sufficient armor, these people are not so much combat soldiers as they are privately raised militiamen in villages and towns for comfort.

With the strength of these militiamen, it may be okay to fight against traitors like the Yellow Turbans, but if they compete with the Xiyuan Forbidden Army in Lu Zhi's hands, it is still too reluctant, and it is impossible to have any effect.

Dong Zhuo also gave up the idea of ​​​​temporary conscription.

In this way, if you think about it from another angle, since you can't start with the local people, Dong Zhuo naturally thinks of other Luoyang forces.

Since I can't recruit soldiers, there is always a chance to grab the soldiers already in Luoyang City, right? ...

……

"Wen You, let me ask you, do you have a clue about the person I asked you to find before?"

Suddenly, Dong Zhuo's eyes lit up, and Dong Zhuo suddenly thought of something, and looked up at Li Ru who was beside him.

Almost instantly, Dong Zhuo recalled the unworldly general who followed Ding Yuan that he had seen before outside Luoyang city.

Convincing Hua Xiong and others with his own strength, this kind of talent, not to mention a rare one, is also a rare treasure for Dong Zhuo.

Moreover, Ding Yuan and himself are both the leaders of the frontier army, and the Bingzhou soldiers under the other party are no worse than his own Liangzhou soldiers.

Even the prestige of the Bingzhou wolf cavalry in the ears of the Xiongnu and other foreigners was better than his Xiliang iron cavalry.

As long as he finds a way to recruit the god general under Ding Yuan's account, and finds a way to receive and integrate the entire Bingzhou forces through the other party for his own use, then there will be more than 5 Bingzhou soldiers, and he himself has more than 2 Liangzhou warriors , These 7 people are definitely hard stubble that Lu Zhi dare not touch.

……

"My lord, Ruzi has found a suitable candidate, and he will be raised in this barracks right now."

"If you have made up your mind, how about I call him over and show you?"

On the side, seeing Dong Zhuo's expression, Li Ru understood Dong Zhuo's plan.

He walked out of the tent and gave two orders to the soldiers guarding the place. After a while, a thin and short man dressed as a general opened the tent, smiled and walked towards Dong Zhuo.
