After Li Ru left Dong Zhuo’s mansion, he sent tens of thousands of soldiers to collect the displaced people near Luoyang City, and asked his subordinates to register and compile documents, counting more than 16,000 displaced people and a population of more than 40,000 by household.
Li Ru also ordered the use of military rations, hung the lives of the displaced people with rice soup, and then sent thousands of pawns to send the displaced people to Hangu Pass.
The guard of Hangu Pass was Liu Qi at this time, and he was Qin Bin’s person.
Liu Kai is one of the famous generals in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, according to the evaluation in the “History of Song”, ‘Zhang, Han, Liu, Yue, and are famous generals’, Zhang is Zhang Jun, Han is Han Shizhong, Liu is Liu Kai, Yue is Yue Fei, Liu Kai can be ranked with Yue Fei, which can show that Liu Kai’s ability is not small.
Hangu Pass was a key point at the junction of the two capitals, and since Meng Huan was transferred to Hongnong County and had the idea of going south to attack Nanyang County, Qin Bin could not give Hangu Pass to others casually.
Therefore, Liu Kai, who was very good at commanding crossbowmen, was appointed as the guard general of Hangu Pass.
When Liu Kai learned that Dong Zhuo had sent ‘goods’, he was not polite, and asked his captain to leave the customs with five hundred soldiers and two hundred paperwork, and set up a login point at a location twenty miles outside the customs.
Then he sent someone to inform General Dong Zhuo, who escorted the ‘goods’, saying that everything was clearly priced, and that it was only necessary to register and compile a book, and after the people entered the customs, they would immediately issue the ‘payment’ for the goods.
And the general Dong Zhuobu who escorted the ‘goods’ was Dong Min, who was captured that day, and at this time Dong Min watched the displaced people line up one by one, going to register the register, and then there were several clerical personnel on the other side verifying the data and counting the price.
There were even paperers who ran to Dong Min and told Dong Min that as long as they ensured that the people did not die of hunger or disease on the delivery road, they could trade, and that young women and young women were more expensive, and children were not bad.
Moreover, the document also said that if there was a shortage of food when escorting the people, in order not to starve the people, Hangu Pass could advance some grain to subsidize the consumption of the people when they moved.
Dong Min listened with a confused look, and looked at the orderly ‘transaction’ scene, Dong Min always felt very contrary.
Although he always felt very uncomfortable and discordant, Dong Min still successfully completed the transaction and rushed back to Luoyang with hundreds of thousands of stones of grain.
And Dong Zhuo in Luoyang City is angry in the imperial court and takes all of Yuan Feng’s family into custody.
Just after everything was taken care of, Dong Zhuo heard that Dong Min had returned with grain, so he quickly summoned him.
At this time, Dong Zhuo also had Li Ru by his side and Cai Yong, who was close to Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo had no taboos about Cai Yong, and asked Dong Min to explain the transaction process in detail on the spot.
Of course, Dong Min did not dare to hide it, and said everything he saw and heard in one breath.
Soon, when Dong Min’s mouth was dry, he finally finished the matter, and Dong Zhuo, Li Ru, and Cai Yong who were present all had strange looks on their faces.
When I imagined the picture before the Hangu Pass, I always felt that there was something inconsistent, but I couldn’t explain it.
Without further thought, Dong Zhuo spoke up to confirm, “Shuying, can the more than 500,000 stone grain be adulterated?” ”
Dong Min quickly shook his head and said, “Back to the eldest brother, Min personally confirmed that there is absolutely no adulteration, it is all top-grade Liang rice.” ”
When Dong Zhuo and the others heard this, they all looked at each other, and Li Ru shook his head and said with a smile, “It’s true, I can only say that King Hongnong is magnificent.” ”
Dong Zhuo and Cai Yong nodded one after another, and they could only say so.
And Dong Min suddenly said, “By the way, brother, before I left Hangu Pass, the general of Hangu Pass sent someone to tell me that the transaction is not limited to grain, and it can also be exchanged for Han military standard weapons, even war horses. ”
When Dong Zhuo and the others heard this, their eyes widened, and Dong Zhuo hurriedly asked, “Shuying is not mistaken?” ”
Dong Min nodded and said, “No, I also asked for samples from the guards of Hangu Pass, and Hangu Pass made a guarantee that when it is delivered in the future, it must be the same quality as the sample, otherwise it will be ten if it is false.” ”
Dong Zhuo raised his eyebrows, and asked Dong Min to present all the samples.
After the samples were presented, Dong Zhuo and others looked around and found that they were all excellent Han military-style weapons.
The standard Han army standard ring head knife, leather and iron alternating armor, finely crafted halberds and spears, and the Northern Army standard longbow and arrows. Except for the absence of a big yellow crossbow, this is completely the complete standard equipment of the Northern Army.
This level of equipment could only be equipped by tens of thousands of elites of the Northern Army back then.
After Li Ru saw these equipment, he said suspiciously, “Could it be that after King Hongnong received the Huangfu Song’s troops, all the staff changed their clothes?” Ru did not think that King Hongnong would cut off all the elite northern troops in Huangfu Song’s department. I don’t think King Hongnong will be stupid enough to sell us the best equipment. ”
Dong Zhuo and Cai Yong nodded repeatedly, both believing that these Han army standard equipment came from the tens of thousands of troops that Huangfu Song had once had.
Dong Zhuo did not continue to think about it, but said bluntly, “Wen You, this matter can be done, our department has been fighting for the past two months, and the consumption of ordnance and materials is huge, originally I thought of forcibly recruiting craftsmen under my command to serve our department to fill the gap, but now it can be solved.”
And these equipment are all high-quality, if we can equip this Northern Army standard equipment on a large scale, our strength will be higher.
Wen You, this matter is left to your full power, and Shuying fully cooperates with Wen You. ”
“Whoosh!!”
……
In the evening, Cai Yong returned to his mansion, which Dong Zhuo had given him, and the mansion was grand and magnificent, comparable to the prince’s mansion.
It’s just that Cai Yong’s family is weak, Cai Yong’s brother resigned from the government and lived in seclusion as early as when the first emperor reigned, and Cai Yong’s wife died early, and there were only a pair of daughters under his knees. The eldest daughter Zhenji has long been married, and now the huge Cai Mansion is the only one he lives with his youngest daughter Zhaoji.
Cai Yong, like those Cai brothers, planned to leave the officialdom and live in seclusion in the countryside, and Cai Yong did the same.
Until last year, he and his youngest daughter Zhaoji had been living in seclusion in Yangzhou. However, I don’t know how to be known by Dong Zhuo and was forcibly recruited into the dynasty by Dong Zhuo.
Although he was forcibly requisitioned with a knife on his neck, Cai Yong began with the history of the imperial servant within three days after entering the dynasty, and successively served as the general of the Zhishu Imperial Attendant, Shangshu, Shizhong, Zuozhong Lang, and finally was named the Marquis of Gaoyang, which can be described as a blessing. So that Cai Yong didn’t know whether to hate the other party for forcibly expropriating himself.
And Cai Yong’s feelings for Dong Zhuo are also very complicated, if Dong Zhuo is a powerful minister of the world, then Cai Yong must worship under Dong Zhuo’s door, so as to help Dong Zhuo rejuvenate the great man.
But Dong Zhuo is a person who likes to be rude, and he has also done a lot of things that are spurned by the world, which makes Cai Yong’s mood more complicated.
Of course, Cai Yong, who knew that Dong Zhuo’s promotion of Zhi’en would be rewarded, could not be forgotten, and he also hoped that through his own advice, Dong Zhuo would act more restrained, but the substantive effect was not significant.
Many of the exhortations to Dong Zhuo were to listen to him Cai Yong, but not long after listening to it, Dong Zhuo committed it again.
For example, staying in the palace overnight, Dong Zhuo was rampant at the beginning, but now after Cai Yong’s repeated advice, he has converged, and he has only converged, knowing that he secretly entered the palace.
In this regard, Cai Yong didn’t know whether to cry or laugh.
All in all, for Dong Zhuo, Cai Yong asked himself to do his best to assist, as far as the current situation is concerned, Dong Zhuo’s situation is very bad.
Especially before, in the early days when King Hongnong fled Luoyang, Cai Yong understood that Dong Zhuo’s forces were at stake.
