Similarly, Dong Zhuo and the generals of the Western Liang Army were also discussing Qin Mu!
The big-bellied Minister Dong sat on the high seat, his brows slightly stunned as he said,"
"Everyone, have you ever heard of a person like Qin Mu? This kid was definitely a huge threat. He was able to defeat the Wuhuan and Xianbei in such a short time. After he became the prefect, he killed Gongsun Du immediately.”
One had to know,
Gongsun Du's power in Liaodong Prefecture could be said to be overwhelming.
They originally thought that after Qin Mu went over, the two sides would definitely be at a stalemate. However, who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, a scout would report that Gongsun Du had been killed. Qin Mu's decisiveness and ruthlessness were truly incomparable to ordinary people.
Believe me,
If it was anyone else, they definitely wouldn't dare to do such a thing.
Everyone in the hall shook their heads. No matter how hard they racked their brains, they could not remember when they had heard of this name.
Only Lu Bu was burning with battle intent.
He, who considered himself the number one in the world, really wanted to compete with Qin Mu.
"Lord Prime Minister, I have something to say."
At this moment, a strategist on the left seat stood up.
"Speak!"
"This person has been in hiding for many years and has recruited tens of thousands of soldiers. He actually hid it from the vassals of the world. Even during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, his reputation was still unknown. To be able to hide for so long, he must have a bigger scheme. Who knows, he might become our army's greatest enemy in the future.”
As soon as he finished speaking,
Minister Dong, who was sitting on the throne, also frowned. This was also what he was worried about.
The alliance army of the eighteen vassals was already quite difficult to deal with. If Qin Mu was added, their defeat would be in the blink of an eye.
Poison Warrior Li Ru also stood out and said,"
" Perhaps this Qin Mu will become a great enemy of our army in the future, but at least he isn't now. Furthermore, the moment he entered Liaodong County, he killed Gongsun Du. This kid has already revealed his formidable and ambitious bearing, so the one we need to worry about the most now should be Beiping's Gongsun Zan.”
"After all, Liaodong and Beiping are not far from each other. Moreover, both of them have the intention of plotting against Youzhou. Therefore, the battle between them should have broken out earlier.”
"As long as Qin Mu can disrupt the unity of the eighteen allied armies, the crisis of our Western Liang Army will naturally be resolved.”
"That makes sense!"
Dong Zhuo nodded his head. Indeed, there was no need to go against Qin Mu at the moment. Instead, he should be on good terms with him.
After all,
No one could say for sure what would happen in the future, but if they became enemies with Qin Mu now…Then, there would definitely be an additional enemy, and the gains would not make up for the losses.
Instead of that, he might as well try to build a good relationship with Qin Mu. Anyway, Liaodong was far away, and they wouldn't be able to reach Luoyang even if they fought for a while.
If they could use Qin Mu to break the alliance army,
The Western Liang Army was no longer in danger.
"Prime Minister, in my opinion, our army should give Qin Mu a great gift. If we can rope him in, it would be even better. With him sending out troops, the eighteen allied armies will definitely be broken. Even if we can't win him over, we can at least ensure that he doesn't join the eighteen allied armies. With such an army entrenched in Youzhou, I don't believe that Gongsun Zan can sit still. As long as he leaves, the pressure on our army will be greatly reduced.”
Li Ru said with a hint of joy on his face.
After being besieged by the alliance army for so many days, even this legendary poison warrior felt like he had racked his brains but was still helpless.
And now, Qin Mu's appearance was the best opportunity.
"Dashan, we'll do as you say.”
Dong Zhuo nodded and smiled.
This was an open scheme.
Regardless of whether Qin Mu sent out his troops or not, it would eventually cause the eighteen allied armies to break apart. Once there was a rift between them, it would be the opportunity for the Western Liang Army.
Therefore, Dong Zhuo gladly agreed. He then ordered the scouts to prepare gifts and head to Liaodong Prefecture.
……
At the same time, in Liaodong County.
Qin Mu's people had already taken over all the defenses in the city.
During this period, he also discovered many big problems. That was, Liaodong City was simply a mess.
The powerful families colluded with the local officials to fabricate charges and create unjust imprisonment. All kinds of exorbitant taxes were almost lawless.
Not only that, but these large families also raised their own private soldiers. Some of them had more than 3,000 people, while some had thousands. In total, they had nearly 40,000 to 50,000 private soldiers.
No, to be more precise.
This was no longer a private army, but a garrison.
After all,
According to the laws of the Great Han Dynasty, the private soldiers of the rich and noble families could not exceed ten people, and the officials and generals could not exceed fifty people. However, in Liaodong Prefecture, there were more than a hundred times. Not only that, according to Zhang Long's report, these people all had a close relationship with Gongsun Du.
Now that the bandit leader had been killed, these people had to be suppressed as soon as possible.
Otherwise, delay will lead to changes.
Thus, Qin Mu ordered Zhang Liang and Liu Bowen to investigate this matter. Once the truth was out, they would take it down.
As for him,
He had more important things to do.
