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

And above him is his father.

With his father's character...haha, as long as it doesn't threaten his enjoyment, Dong Zhuo doesn't care about the lives of the people.

"Come here and lead the way. Follow me into the city."

Dong Yu sighed and led his army into the city.

The absence of civilians is not entirely a bad thing for them in defending Yong'an.

Civilians might be of some help during wartime, but if there were no civilians in the city to burden them, they could also destroy civilian houses and replenish military supplies at critical moments.

When he arrived at the county government office, Zhang Xiu was sitting in the hall, temporarily acting as the county magistrate.

"Big brother!"

"Ha ha!"

"You're finally here."

When Zhang Xiu saw Dong Yu enter the county government office, he immediately stood up and ran over.

"What's the situation now?"

Dong Yu nodded slightly and asked while sitting aside.

"According to what the people say, in previous years, the Hu people would march south in large numbers in mid-September."

"The Hu people's foraging will last about half a month. After half a month, they will return to the north and return to their tribe before the cold weather sets in."

Zhang Xiu told what he had learned and his experience of living in Xiliang.

"So, we still have seven or eight days to prepare?"

Dong Yu frowned and asked.

"Yes, but I have already asked Zilong to set up defenses."

"Yong'an has a good terrain. We just need to defend it tightly and the Hu people will retreat soon."

Zhang Xiu nodded, and there was no nervousness in his words.

Having lived in Xiliang since he was young, he knew the habits of the Hu people very well.

It is true that the Hu people went south to plunder the people in order to survive, but they would not stick to one place.

If they cannot capture this place for a long time, they will immediately change direction to avoid being delayed too long and gaining nothing.

Even some Hu people, after seeing that there were large Han troops stationed at the target location, did not even shoot an arrow, but turned around and went to another place to forage for food.

"That's it..."

Dong Yu frowned, feeling a little embarrassed for a moment.

He brought his men here with the intention of relying on the Hu people to streamline the disobedient Xiliang soldiers.

But if the Hu people don't fight them, what's the point of him coming?

Thinking of this, Dong Yu turned his gaze and looked at Jia Wenhe who was still slacking off.

"Uh... My Lord, why do you keep looking at me?"

Jia Xu, who was originally slacking off, suddenly felt a pair of eyes staring at him, which made him feel a little nervous.

"You came up with the idea. You don't know the situation of the Hu people, do you?"

Dong Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, he suspected that Jia Xu had other purposes.

"Haha, isn't the Lord's goal almost achieved?"

Jia Xu laughed dryly and asked back.

As a person who has a very thorough understanding of human nature, Jia Xu had long discovered that Wang Fang had sided with Dong Yu.

The more than 10,000 Xiliang soldiers also awakened their war instincts after the battles during this period.

Lack of practice doesn't mean they are noobs.

The Xiliang soldiers were once the elite among the elite, and had experienced dozens or even hundreds of battles of varying sizes.

It’s just that the comfort zone of Luoyang and Chang’an makes them addicted to it.

But with the two battles of killing Yu Fuluo and surprise attack on Baibo Valley, this Xiliang army has regained the feeling of war.

To put it bluntly, soldiers join the army just to survive.

It doesn’t matter who you follow.

What's more, following Dong Yu can help them make meritorious deeds, and the rewards they receive for their meritorious deeds can make them more satisfied than bullying ordinary people.

"You mean, as long as we... I understand."

"So that's your plan."

After some advice, Dong Yu also understood Jia Xu's intention.

"Haha, in fact, if there was no Baibo Valley, the lord would have to cut some personnel to create a deterrent effect, but now the lord can make these ten thousand elite soldiers obey orders completely."

"Once this matter is over and the lord returns to Chang'an, the problem of the Xiliang army will be solved."

"Although this matter deviates from my original plan, it is beneficial to the lord."
