"Yes, you're right. The Emperor has been incredibly kind to us, so we should repay his kindness with the heads of our enemies." Everyone agreed.
Dong Zhuo looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice, "Furthermore, now that we have food and supplies, we must not allow our men to wreak havoc on the people as we did in the past. If anyone tarnishes the Emperor's reputation because of this, don't blame me, Dong Zhuo, for turning against them."
Tian Yan nodded. "Don't worry, Zhongying. We brothers are all from Xiliang. We will never be as foolish as we used to be."
"Thump. Thump. Thump."
Just as everyone was discussing, the sound of drums thundered. It turned out that Duan Jiong had summoned the generals for a meeting, and Dong Zhuo and the others hurriedly headed towards the central command tent.
Inside the tent, all the generals were gathered.
Duan Jiong looked at everyone and slowly said, "Gentlemen, the Qiang people now know that our army is short of food and supplies. The various tribes of the Xianling Qiang have also begun to gather at Fengyi Mountain, preparing to invade Liangzhou again."

"promise!"
Dong Zhuo stepped forward excitedly to accept the order, while the generals in the tent looked at the excited Dong Zhuo with envy.
Then Duan Jiong looked at the rest of the group and said, “All generals, go back and lead your troops to guard the key roads to prevent the Qiang soldiers from taking the opportunity to cause trouble. As long as you can hold them, it will be a great achievement. I will then ask the Emperor for your reward.”
"Brothers, follow me to kill the enemy and make a name for yourselves."
Under Dong Zhuo's loud shouts, he led his two thousand men as the vanguard and galloped toward Gaoping amidst the envious gazes of the crowd.
