System Blessing: The Young Master of the Dong Family and Diao Chan's Fate

"Sima Fang's father."

"Currently, Sima Fang and his son Sima Lang are serving as officials in Chang'an. They travel frequently for their father's sake, but unexpectedly, they haven't been able to bring their father back for several years."

Shi A looked at Dong Yu and replied.

"This family has really good genes. They're still so energetic in their sixties."

"Don't worry about him for now, let him continue working."

"As for Li Tong, tell him to continue guarding Dagu Pass and not to act rashly."

Dong Yu sighed speechlessly that the entire Sima family was able to survive, and then gave instructions to Shi A.

There is no point in sending troops to Yingchuan now.

The three southern passes of Luoyang were all in his hands, and he could take control of Yingchuan whenever he wanted.

There is no point in entering early, as it will only alert the enemy.

It is now autumn, and Dong Yu plans to start moving south next year.

We have waited for more than two years, so there is no need to rush in these few months.

Outside Luoyang City

In the military camp, after the autumn harvest, the army began intensive training.

During this long period of time, Dong Jun did not stop training.

Those elite soldiers from Xiliang who had taken leave to return home had returned to the army more than half a year ago.

"prick!"

"drink!"

"pick!"

"what!!"

In the military camp, the generals were urging the soldiers to practice military formations.

"Junyi, how are the soldiers' fighting spirit?"

Dong Yu came behind Zhang He and asked.

"My lord, after nearly two years of rest, the soldiers' war-weariness has completely disappeared."

"Everyone is full of fighting spirit, eager to go into battle and kill the enemy, and to achieve merit and be rewarded."

Zhang He bowed and immediately said with a smile.

Zhang He did not deceive Dong Yu on this point.

The officers and soldiers of Dong's army were completely different from those of other princes.

The other princes were subject to a buyout system.

Soldiers' lives are bought out when they join the army.

Even if they won the battle and received some rewards, it could not compare with Dong Jun's rewards.

As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under a heavy reward.

If the soldiers are paid enough, they will naturally be fearless of death.

"How's your combat power?"

"Having not been in battle for so long, I'm afraid the decline has occurred?"

Guo Jia asked with some concern.

"Military advisor, don't worry."

"In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of our soldiers, we often lead them to suppress bandits."

"Not only has it not decreased, but the individual combat effectiveness has increased significantly."

Zhang He smiled and answered confidently.

These military generals are also very busy.

Whenever county magistrates from various places reported local banditry, they would dispatch large armies to suppress the bandits.

All I can say is that being a bandit in Dong Yu's territory was truly a real punishment.

Zhang Xiu, Zhang Liao, Zhang He, Xu Huang, Huang Zhong, Gao Lan, Ma Chao, Pang De, and Xu Chu would form a group to suppress bandits whenever they had nothing to do.

They are all very tough guys.

These bandits thought they were raising the banner of rebellion.

After all, when other princes wanted to suppress bandits, they would at most send a general to train the troops, and they could still struggle.

But when it comes to Dong Yu, there is no such thing as an exercise, it's all actual combat.

Lieutenant general?

The lieutenant general had no chance to make a move, as all his possessions were snatched away by this group of idle tough guys.

"Before winter comes, have the soldiers train more and ensure their meals are not neglected."

"I will go to Jizhou in the next few days to see the situation there."

"Here in Luoyang, Youwei, Wenyuan, Junyi, you three and the other generals, please take good care of it."

Dong Yu gave orders to several generals who had just arrived after hearing the news.

"promise!"

Everyone clasped their fists in agreement.

Dong Yu was actually not that worried about the military strength in Luoyang.

After all, he has been in control and inspects the army from time to time. Even if the combat effectiveness has really declined, it will not decline too much.

He was just worried about Jizhou.

To know.

Jizhou was the first to cease fighting and recuperate, which lasted more than half a year longer than Chang'an and Luoyang.

In addition, the biggest bandit leader in Jizhou has already surrendered.

There are no bandits training in the entire territory.

So he was more worried about the situation in Jizhou.

Any strong soldier needs war to maintain his combat effectiveness.
