Originally, the territory of the Han Dynasty reached as far east as Lelang County, and Lelang County bordered Goguryeo, Dongwoju, Mahan, and Donghao respectively. Now, the three tribes of Mahan, Bianhan, and Chenhan have become the territory of the Han Dynasty. However, Dongyi was surrounded by the Han Dynasty on three sides, and the east side was close to the sea, making it difficult for a single tree to support itself.
Dong Hao's nature is voluptuous, less lusty, and has a sense of shame. Their language, laws, and customs are generally the same as those of Ju Li, but there are differences in their clothes. Their men's and women's clothes all wear curved collars, and the men wear silver flowers several inches wide for decoration. There are more than 10,000 households, but in terms of territory, they are as big as Sanhan. There are only more than 20,000 households in such a large territory. After seeing Sanhan quickly being naturalized by the Han, they were frightened.
They were afraid that that day would arouse the idea of the Han Dynasty. In this disaster, they were spared. The blizzard did not appear in their territory, but they had no time to be happy because a small group of Han cavalry appeared in their territory. , Donghao people are polite and not warlike. In the past, when they encountered provocations from the Three Koreas, they chose to be patient.
Now that he saw the Han cavalry in his own territory, he was even more frightened and turned pale.
I won’t mention these small countries for now, but above Dongyue, that is, in the northeastern region, there are three relatively powerful countries, Fuyu, Goguryeo, and Dongwoju. The most powerful one is Fuyu, which occupies the fertile area. However, in After the Han conquered Xianbei and Dong Zhuo pointed the finger at them, they could no longer pay attention to their former vassals, which allowed Goguryeo and Dongwoju to develop.
Goguryeo is not as good as Fuyu, but it is far more powerful than Dongwoju. In recent years, there have been many thoughts of annexing Dongwoju. Fuyu does not want to see it become stronger, and suppresses him everywhere. It also allied with Dongwoju to fight against Goguryeo. He suppressed, thus forming a balance here, but Dong Zhuo's actions directly broke this balance.
Fuyu fought with more than a thousand cavalry led by Lu Bu in the territory. Lu Bu won a great victory and killed thousands of enemies. He pursued again and defeated several counties. Their county town still had low walls, which could not stop Lu Bu at all. The cavalry he led made everyone in Fuyu panic, but Lu Bu had no intention of occupying their county. He "recruited" some laborers and returned to the junction.
Taishi Ci led his people to drive on the peninsula. His target this time was Dongwoju and Donghao. However, after walking for many days, he found that the residents here were not very frightened when they saw him, and they did not shoot arrows on horseback. , they are all polite people who will entertain them warmly and provide them with water and food. Many of them can also speak fluent Mandarin.
Seeing this situation, Taishi Ci couldn't bear to regard them as enemies. After hesitating for a long time, he returned to Youzhou without any results.
Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu were waiting for his return. After half a month of plundering labor, Dong Zhuo and he were a little tired, and Fuyu and the Goguryeo people were also constantly retreating. The border between the Han and them was already very close. With few people living there, Dong Zhuo canceled his operation and ordered the generals to meet with Yuyang County in Youzhou before returning to their base.
When Taishi Ci arrived, Dong Zhuo came forward to greet him enthusiastically.
Taishi Ci looked a little guilty. Dong Zhuo was so shrewd that he naturally noticed his expression and looked around for a moment. There were no people behind him. Dong Zhuo smiled boldly and said: "Those people ran away when they saw me. Ziyi It's normal that we haven't been captured. It doesn't have to be like this..." Lu Bu chuckled behind him and said, "I told you earlier that those areas are sparsely populated, so there will definitely be no harvest..."
"That's not the case...Dong Jun..." Taishi Ci raised his head.
"I can't bear it. Our behavior... is any different from that of the Xianbei Xiongnu in the past?" After saying that, he looked at his comrades around him apologetically and said, "Forgive me..." Behind him
Many of the soldiers and generals were Huns, and there were also a few Xianbei people. They nodded and said: "I know what the general means, and the general does not have to be like this..."
Dong Zhuo frowned and said, "Come into the tent with me!"
After entering the camp, Dong Zhuo sat on the main seat. Lu Bu looked at Taishi Ci with some doubts and sat aside. Taishi Ci stood in the middle. Dong Zhuo sighed and said, "Ziyi, you have been in the army for many years, why don't you?"
How can we not know that soldiers are ruthless... As soldiers of the Han Dynasty, how can we show mercy to the people of other countries?"
"Mr. Dong, if a foreign enemy invades and encounters the enemy's soldiers, I, Tai Shici, will dare to go first for the soldiers and will not retreat to the death to protect my country. However... if I am asked to attack innocent people, I cannot bear it... What will happen to the people?
Huh? How can I, Taishi Ci, fight against the defenseless old and weak?" Taishi Ci's eyes widened and he gritted his teeth and said.
"Ziyi, we are not harming them, we are teaching them etiquette and saving them..."
"Fengxian! Over the years, how many people have died of exhaustion and starvation in order to build Chidao? How can such behavior be legislation, how can we talk about rescue?!" Tai Shici shouted.
"Bastard!!" Dong Zhuo was angry, stood up suddenly, and pointed at Taishi Ci. This was the first time he was so angry. Lu Bu was also frightened by him and said nothing, but Taishi Ci looked at him and advised: "Dong
Sir, our country is a country of benevolence and righteousness...why do we want to harm our neighbors..."
"When the Han people are in trouble, if I don't go to them, then who will build the houses and provide disaster relief? Do you want the people of the Han people to die, or do you want them to die?!" Dong Zhuo roared.
"Tai Shi Ci will go to Xinzhou now to personally participate in construction and disaster relief! Forgive me!"
"Come here, pull this bastard down for violating military orders, beat him fifty times, and drive him out of the camp!" Dong Zhuo roared angrily. Immediately, soldiers came in, pulled Tai Shi Ci and walked out. Dong Zhuo was so angry that Tai Shi Ci was him.
The closest general, he clenched his fists and walked back, like an angry bear. Lu Bu was beside him, looking at him, and quickly said: "Dong Gong, Taishi Ziyi was confused for a moment, but he is also the might of the country.
Will...this..."
"Then why are you still here? Why don't you tell the executioners to beat them less!!"
Dong Zhuo roared angrily.
"Huh?" Lu Bu was stunned, nodded, and trotted out.
Dong Zhuo's face turned red and he sat in the tent without saying a word.
Taishi Ci was pinned to the ground, with flags waving all around. The person who came for execution was a young soldier. Many soldiers around him were a little unbearable and lowered their heads. Taishi Ci had a very good temperament and liked to joke, so he had a good relationship with them.
Very good. Now that they saw that he was going to be tortured, most of them couldn't bear it. The executioner's soldiers raised their whips high.
"Pa..." The whip fell on Tai Shici's back.
Taishi Ci was a little confused. Why didn't this whip have any weight?
He raised his head and looked, and the young soldier grinned at him. He looked very handsome. He waved his long whip continuously, which looked extremely fierce. In fact, in the end, it fell lightly on his back, completely
Taishi Ci did not feel any pain. Lu Bu originally ran out and was about to explain. Seeing such a punishment, he smiled knowingly and ignored it.
After the execution, the young soldier helped Taishi Ci up. Taishi Ci also let him hold him up and asked in a low voice, "Why is this?"
"Ziyi, the captain of the school, is so benevolent and righteous that I dare not teach the school captain to suffer this crime!" said the man.
Taishi Ci was suddenly moved and asked, "Excuse me, I don't know your name..."
"Captain, please don't talk like that. I just joined the army this year and now I am the captain of the Knights..."
"Hahaha, I don't know the soldiers under my command... I'm sorry..."
"Captain, please don't open your mouth, you have just been punished..."
"I almost forgot. Don't be surprised. Don't be surprised. May I ask your name?"
"I am from Changshan Zhending. My surname is Zhao Mingyun, and my courtesy name is Zilong. Just call me Zilong..."
The young man looked at Tai Shici and smiled gently.
