The two sides have been fighting for a long time.

Li Xiang and Liu Hong passed the buck back and forth, which made the heads of the noble families scalp numb and cursed.

Outside Luoyang, the Yellow Turban Army was wreaking havoc, burning, killing and looting noble families and government offices.

However, the court did not want to wipe out the thieves, but passed the buck to each other.

However, the noble families cursed Liu Hong and Li Xiang.

They were unwilling to admit that Liu Hong's burning, killing and looting of noble families and government offices by the Yellow Turban Army did not have much impact on Liu Hong.

The real victims were the noble families themselves.

In fact, Liu Hong was very happy to see the noble families and even government offices in various places being slaughtered.

This is not nonsense. After all, if the noble families are strong, then Liu Hong will be weak. After all, if the local government is severely damaged, more official positions can be vacated, and Liu Hong can sell official positions and titles.

So, if the noble families and even the government are slaughtered, what loss will Liu Hong have?

However, it is obvious that many noble families are unwilling to admit it.

Instead, they keep thinking about the rebellion of the Yellow Turbans. This emperor is really stupid.

A few days later, letters from noble families in various places asking for help flew into Luoyang like snowflakes, and the noble families could not sit still after all.

They finally understood that if they were unwilling to cooperate with Li Xiang's strategy, the encirclement and suppression of the Yellow Turban Army could be delayed for a while.

...

The Imperial Palace.

Chengde Hall.

In the court, Liu Hong sat at the top.

Below, a group of civil and military officials gathered.

There were also one or two hundred heads of noble families gathered.

Hundreds of people gathered together, and the hall was packed and full.

Yuan Feng, Yang Ci, Wang Yun and other representatives of the noble families looked at each other.

Yang Ci stood up and bowed to Liu Hong:

"Your Majesty, the noble families have reached a consensus. Please ask the general of the cavalry to send troops quickly. The noble families in various places are willing to cooperate with the general of the cavalry!"

Yang Ci's solemn voice resounded throughout the hall. Upon hearing this, Li Xiang, who was sitting on the dragon chair, immediately smiled. Liu Hong, who was sitting on the dragon chair, smiled and said:

"That's right. The general of the cavalry has come up with a proper plan. After all, the encirclement and suppression of the Yellow Turbans in the world is not only for the court, but also for the noble families in various places."

"In this case, the general of the cavalry will tell us how to fight this battle!"

Liu Hong said with a smile, looking at Li Xiang.

Li Xiang did not hesitate, and bowed to Yang Ci, Yuan Feng, Wang Yun and other officials, saying:

"This matter has been calculated. We need the support of noble families in various places. We will raise soldiers, food, and money between states and counties. Each state needs to raise 30,000 warriors. If each state has ten counties, then the noble families in each county will raise 3,000 warriors. This is not much, right? You know, there are more than ten counties in a county. If it is divided, each county needs to bear less than 300 servants and private soldiers, and a county has at least four or five noble families in a larger county!"

In the hall, Li Xiang directly gathered soldiers by dividing states and counties.

Listening to Li Xiang's words, Yuan Feng, Yang Ci, Wang Yun and others couldn't help but open their mouths and looked at Li Xiang in confusion.

Gathering 30,000 young warriors in each state, is it a small number?

You have to know that the Han Dynasty has thirteen states. Even if you remove the three remote states, there are still ten states. If each state gathers 30,000 young men, then the ten states will have 300,000! ! !

The entire Han Dynasty recruited 300,000 young men. Is this not enough?

However, according to Li Xiang's words, it seems that 30,000 young men in each state, divided into 3,000 in each county and 300 in each county, is still... not too much?

Yuan Feng and Yang Ci looked at each other and could see the strangeness in each other's eyes.

At this time, Yuan Feng said to Li Xiang:

"General of the Cavalry, is this a bit inappropriate? According to the meaning of the General of the Cavalry, it seems that we need to gather 200,000 or 300,000 young men. So many young men will consume too much food and baggage!!"

Yuan Feng's voice was loud and clear, and all the noble families looked at Li Xiang in unison.

Li Xiang waved his hand at Yuan Feng and said with a smile:

"Sikong, don't be anxious, listen to me and I will analyze it."

"This time, I will collect 60,000 shi of grain from each state, and divide it into 6,000 shi from each county, and 600 shi from each county. If four or five noble families in each county pay 600 shi of grain, isn't that a drop in the bucket?"

"And for four or five noble families in each county, 600 shi of grain is a drop in the bucket, but it is not a small amount for young and strong men. You have to know that for a young and strong man,

A stone of grain can at least last for one or two months. Two stones of grain, at least three or four months. I don't believe that with three or four months of grain, I cannot break the deadlock and plunder grain from the Yellow Turbans! "

Li Xiang calculated the accounts for Yuan Feng and other noble families, and they were dumbfounded and stunned.

To be honest, it is not much for a county's noble families to raise 600 dan of grain.

However, if each county raises 600 dan of grain, what about the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty?

This is 600,000 or 700,000 dan of grain! !

The noble families opened their mouths and wanted to refute, but they really couldn't open their mouths.

At this time, Yuan Feng heard that Li Xiang meant to raise 300,000 young men and 600,000 or 700,000 dan of grain. This is a terrifying force. All of them are handed over to Li Xiang to command?

Yuan Feng was full of jealousy and looked unhappy, so he opened his mouth and said:

"General Huqi, it's still too much. It's not just food. Even if everyone has a weapon, it will consume a lot! ! ! "

As soon as Yuan Feng finished speaking, Li Xiang laughed again:

"Sikong, look, you are anxious again! ! ! "
