on the way. Encountered the two major armies of Cao Cao and Sun Jian.

"Feng Xian. How about the old thief Dong Zhuo?"

Cao Cao asked.

"The old thief Dong Zhuo has already run into Tongguan. It must be difficult.

The emperor and some ministers were taken away. Run too fast. There is no way to catch up. "

Lu Bu shook his head.

In fact, this result was deliberately done by Lu Bu.

"It's a pity that I can't kill Dong thief."

Cao Cao felt a little pity.

Cao Cao and Sun Jian came to pursue Dong Zhuo because of Lu Bu's cavalry,

40,000 to 50,000 troops have already caught up. Even if Dong Zhuo cannot be completely defeated,

The troops of the two of them can also gain some benefits by following up.

"Let's go back to the camp first. Let's see what the leader and others have to say."

"That's the only way to go."

that's all. Cao Cao and Sun Jian led troops and followed Lu Bu back to the camp.

on the way. Lu Bu is not stingy either. Directly distributed thousands of sets of weapons and armor to each of them.

These were all snatched after the Xiliang army killed them.

It is great that Cao Cao and Sun Jian can get such things.

Although Lu Bu doesn't like these things at all. The most is to take it back and refine it in Bingzhou and make it into a new armor.

not so useful. The two who got the supplies were even more convinced by Lu Bu.

Looking at the ruins of Luoyang. Everyone no longer wants to play anymore. Just stay in the big camp and drink every day.

third day. The troops of Lu Bu, Cao Cao, and Sun Jian returned to the camp.

The three of them entered the camp. I saw the princes from all walks of life drinking.

There was no expression on Lu Bu's face.

Cao Cao was a little helpless.

Sun Jian's face was full of anger.

Yuan Shao stood up and asked first.

"04 Fengxian. Mengde. Wentai. How about Dong Zhuo.

"Leader. Then Dong Zhuo has already run into Tongguan. I can't catch up."

Cao Cao replied lightly.

Lu Bu stood up and said something.

"Leader. Since Dong Zhuo's affairs are difficult to accomplish much, and foreigners in the north invaded the border.

The Qiang people in the land of Hetao also violated the frontier, so I need to lead the troops back. "

And everyone else wanted to go back a long time ago, but they were too embarrassed to ask.

Now Lu Bu was the first to speak, and they also said they wanted to go back.

I know it's a waste of time here,

He also sent troops to Chang'an to attack Dong Zhuo. This approach is also unrealistic.

Yuan Shao thought about it. Indeed. He is not happy being the ally.

He is strong and can't command. The weak do not cooperate.

It's all mixed up. Drinking and having fun every day.

As soon as Sun Jian heard Lu Bu's idea, he stood up.

"Leader. Jiangdong is far away from here. And the food and grass are not sustainable. I also need to lead my troops back."

With the opening of Lu Bu and Sun Jian.

The other princes who fished in troubled waters below also spoke.

What did you say that farming was delayed under the rule.

Go back to govern the place quickly.

Otherwise, it will be miserable if there is no food in the coming year.

Gongsun Zan also pointed out that Karasuma in the north was dishonest.

I need to take Baima Yicong back.

Yuan Shao was helpless. I can only agree.

Early the next morning. The ministries returned to their original locations one after another.

on the way. Liu Dai, the prefect of Chongzhou, used the excuse of borrowing grain. Killed the prefect of Dongjun. Take their food and occupy their soldiers.

Became the first legion to kill each other after the Allies.

Sun Jian walked halfway. Insufficient food and grass.

When passing Nanyang. I want to get some food and other things from the prefect.

Who knows that the prefect is not willing.

The angry Sun Jian directly attacked the city.

Kill the prefect directly.

Grab a batch of food and money. Then just run.

Liu Biao, governor of Jingzhou, heard that Sun Jian had killed his subordinate prefect.

They also grabbed food and grass and ran away.

So he immediately sent a vanguard of 20,000 troops to pursue Sun Jian.

Then he brought 30,000 troops and horses to press on him.

The two sides fought a battle.

In the end, Sun Jian lost 3,000 troops.

Liu Biao lost 8,000 troops.

Before Liu Biao's main force arrived. Sun Jian has crossed the Yangtze River.

I went back to Jiangdong.

From then on. Sun Jian and Liu Biao began to attack each other.

Half a month later. Lu Bu led his troops back to Bingzhou.

After returning home. Just spent some time with the beautiful wives at home. After some release.

Lu Bu called all the civil and military people to a meeting.

"Zhao Feng. Have the common people made arrangements?"

"Back to the lord. All arrangements have been made. Everyone has a house to live in. There is no shortage of food and clothing.

Except those who like farming. The rest are arranged to work in various factories.

Income is also stable. Not three years. Each of these people can keep some spare money. "

"Okay. As long as the people have food and money, life is stable and there will be no chaos."

Zhao Feng has always been very experienced in dealing with these things.

Lu Bu is also very relieved about this.

"Guo Jia. Let me tell you about the process of calling for Dong."

"It's the lord. This time we are discussing the alliance of directors. It seems that the alliance of all parties is powerful.

But it can't be unanimous. Not as strong as Dong Zhuo's side.

Although Dong Zhuo retreated to Chang'an and other places. But there are about 200,000 soldiers and horses in his hands.

Among them, there are at least 70,000 to 80,000 cavalry. Most of them are composed of Qiang people.

Most of the rest of the infantry were recruited from the original Xiyuan Army of the Han Dynasty.

And when he retreated to Chang'an. Looted a large number of treasures and food.

It can be said that there are enough soldiers and food. within five years. Even if Dong Zhuo had nothing to gain.

Don't worry about food and grass, of course. If his men worked hard enough.

With the territory from Chang'an to Xiliang in hand. That can support a longer period of time.

After the coalition forces dispersed. They are all forces of 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers.

The situation of attacking each other has begun. If the guess is right.

Then the end result is. Every state will have the most powerful person.

Wait until all states and counties are ruled by one person. It's the states fighting each other.

And our main goal now, I think, is to fight internal affairs from now on. training. In the future, the powerful will have the final say. "

Guo Jia said all the analysis of the situation.

After listening, everyone nodded in thought.

Now there are many princes all over the country. fighting each other,

The weak will soon be annexed.

At that time, it is possible to return to the state of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period.

"En. Tell me about our losses and gains this time."

"This time, we dispatched 50,000 cavalry in Bingzhou. More than 3,000 people were killed in battle.

Grain loss is less. Most have been replenished at coalition camps.

And we snatched a batch of Dong Zhuo's food and grass. After all, we still made money. "

"Qiancai has about 2 billion yuan. There are also various classics and other ancient books."

Lu Bu listened. Dong Zhuo himself can be counted as the one that made the most money in this expedition.

Yuan Shao gained the reputation of the leader of the coalition. Cao Cao's edict is famous all over the world.

Sun Jian is a pioneer with extraordinary courage. I finally chased Dong Zhuo.

Save the people and money and other things. In fact, it is the most important thing.

Next is the battle of the princes from all walks of life. Population is the absolute key.

The whole big man now. There are more than 50 million people registered. Arguably the most populous country in the world.

But there are many black households without household registration. Hidden by big clans from all over the world.

This is also the fundamental reason why those big clans survived the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

Estimate here. The whole big Han should have a population of around 70 to 80 million.

"Zhao Feng. Tell me about the current situation in Bingzhou and other places."

"It's the lord. Now the whole territory of Bingzhou plus Hetao Grassland and other places.

The population exceeds seven million. There are thousands of factories. All kinds of living materials are sufficient.

Rely on substantial industry support. Bingzhou is developing rapidly in all aspects.

If you want to keep arable land. And industry. There are also housing issues. as far as I can tell.

It is estimated that there will be another 500,000 people. The place is not big enough. "

Fortunately, Lu Bu has high-yield grains and many factories in his hands.

Otherwise, it is really impossible to arrange the employment and life of so many people.

In the Hetao area alone, nearly one million people have been resettled.

And the number is still increasing, even on the grassland, 280

New cities have also been developed in many places.

"Okay. The next direction for us to merge the state is to develop internal affairs.

Soldiers were mainly mobilized to Hetao and further north. Take turns switching defenses.

In addition, Huang Zhong and Zhang Fei are currently incorporating the Qiang people.

Yunchang's department set off in ten days. Destroy the Qiang people's territory close to Hetao.

And all over the north. As long as it is no man's land, it will be occupied.

It is also good to develop cultivated land. Herding sheep and horses is also good. People from the Ministry of Agriculture will make good work arrangements.

Set up a boundary marker. At that time, as long as people from other races enter our territory.

It's up to us. Or pay the toll. Either fight.

As soon as possible, cut into the Hetao from the land of Bingzhou and directly hit the territory of Xiliang.

"Foreigners outside the pass are recruited and reformed. The main income of the common people is our big man people.

Take grazing as the standard. You can also learn how to farm and so on. Within three years after incorporation.

The tax is 50%. In the fourth year and the fifth year, the tax is 40%. Five years later.

If there is no violation of the laws of Dahan and Bingzhou. The sixth year begins.

Their children can receive education and study. If there are some that perform particularly well.

It can give their children the opportunity to study in advance.

After the sixth year, the annual tax is 30%. The status is equal to that of the big man.

"Trade development zones are formed in the border areas. It is mainly to do business with friendly foreigners outside the customs.

Then slowly differentiate them. For example, you can start paying 30% of the tax.

If you apply to become our big man people and accept the control of our big man.

That would pay less tax. A few years later, they were Sinicized into Chinese common people.

Those nobles on the prairie. Without the support of these civilians.

They can't make a difference. The plan to deal with them is the same as dealing with the great families of the big man.

The people are their bargaining chips. "

that day. Lu Bu and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs and others formulated a series of development plans. But the rest of the more than a dozen princes began the era of attacking each other. .
