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

However, Hu Zhen and Yang Ding were different. They were powerful people from Liang Province and had a certain amount of power before they defected to Dong Zhuo.

This time, Dong Yu wanted to take the opportunity to clip Hu Zhen's wings.

As long as Hu Zhen and others were eliminated, Dong Yu was confident that he could purge the entire Xiliang Army as quickly as possible.

"Soldiers, the time has come to test the results of your training. Set out to protect the country and the people!"

Dong Yu jumped onto his horse, holding a golden staff with a coiled dragon pattern in its hand. His black armor shone with a deep luster in the sun.

"Protect the territory and the people!"

"Protect the territory and the people!"

It is hard to imagine that these four words would resound in the Xiliang Army camp.

After some mobilization, Dong Yu, Xu Rong, Zhao Yun and others led their troops out of the barracks.

Dong Yu's troops this time included Xu Rong's 3,000 soldiers, Zhang Xiu and Zhao Yun's 3,000 Flying Bear troops, and Zhang Liao's 5,000 main troops.

These are the direct troops controlled by Dong Yu, and are also the results of his efforts over the past two months.

As for the other Xiliang troops, Dong Zhuo ordered Yang Ding and Wang Fang to lead 15,000 elite Xiliang soldiers to join the army.

...

"Wencai, what exactly do you mean by Xiangguo?"

"Let's follow the young master to Hedong to fight the Xiongnu."

Yang Ding asked with an embarrassed look on his face.

After such a long period of neglect in training, doesn't he know the combat strength of the Xiliang Army?

It's okay to let them bully civilians and bandits, but fighting the Huns would be a bit difficult for them.

"Yang Zhengxiu, the Prime Minister has issued an order, do you dare not go?"

Hu Zhen's face was gloomy and he glanced at Yang Ding.

"Yes, the Prime Minister has given the order."

"But did the brothers follow him to suffer?"

"He's enjoying himself in Chang'an, while we're out there fighting for our lives."

Yang Ding complained with dissatisfaction.

"enough!"

"Li Ru and the others have already been quite critical of our actions. Haven't you noticed that I've been more restrained recently?"

Hu Zhen stopped him coldly, saying with a stern face.

Ever since Dong Yu started to take charge of military affairs, Hu Zhen discovered changes within Xiliang.

Especially not long ago, Li Jue's Feixiong Army actually fell under the control of Dong Yu.

In addition, Niu Fu, Fan Chou and others began to restrain their subordinates intentionally or unintentionally, and for a while they became the ones who stood out.

In the past, everyone did this, so it was nothing.

But now when you are the only one doing this, then you become the problem.

"Hurry up and take your men out of the camp. Just follow my orders and don't cause any trouble."

Hu Zhen glared at Yang Ding and reminded him.

"Eh."

"Life is beyond our control, haha."

Yang Ding sighed.

Although he didn't say anything, he became increasingly dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo in his heart.

He and Hu Zhen were called the Lords of Liangzhou and were once very prosperous.

They also provided a lot of help in the rapid expansion of Dong Zhuo's power.

Now that they are being transferred away, isn't it because we don't want them to continue plundering the people and stealing their money and food?

You can enjoy it, but we can’t?

This made them feel a little bit chilled.

Everyone follows you, Dong Zhuo, for enjoyment and a better life.

If I am restricted everywhere, I might as well go back to Liangzhou and become a local emperor.

With the 30,000 elite Xiliang soldiers under their control, where can they not go?

The expedition of more than 20,000 troops was the first large-scale military action after Dong Zhuo retreated to Chang'an.

In addition to the more than 20,000 troops, there were more than 10,000 civilians responsible for transporting food and fodder, and hundreds of large and small ships.

When marching and fighting, the most important thing is not the soldiers or generals, but the marching route and logistical supply lines.

The marching route must have waterways, otherwise the logistical supply will drag down a force.

Waterways are undoubtedly the most important route for marching and fighting.

The main force does not necessarily need to take the water route. The water route is mainly used to relieve the pressure on the baggage transport troops that transport food and fodder.

"Brother, Zilong's team is faster than us. They have already left Luoshui and entered the Hedong area from the Fenshui River."
