"Now the Jizhou Mu Han Fu, the Qingzhou Mu Yuan Shao, and the Youzhou Mu Gong Sun Zan have become three-thirds. Although there is no big change yet, after the spring of next year, there will definitely be a war between these three people."

The morning court was over, and after finishing some chores, Liu Xuan left behind a few close people, including Lu Bu, Cao Cao, Xun Yu, Xun You, Guo Jia, Liu Ye, and Liu Bei, who was gradually recovering.

Zhang Liao personally sits outside the door and does not let outsiders intrude. It can be said that the people in the side hall of the Greenhouse Palace are all Liu Xuan's confidants. Compared with those in the court, these people are really useful and can discuss important matters together.

.

Everyone sat down, and Liu Ye directly stated his speculation. Everyone had already known about this matter, so there was no surprise.

"Bingzhou and the northern part of Sizhou have never been very peaceful. In order to conquer the Baibo bandits, Wang Kuang, the governor of Hanoi, plundered local money and grain for military use. Although it has not caused any civil uprising for the time being, it will become a disaster in the long run. Kong, the governor of Henan

Rong expressed his opinion in the above table and hopes that the imperial court will impose some restrictions on Wang Kuang."

Cao Cao was stationed on the west side of the Yellow River, but he could look at the counties east of the river, so he had a good understanding of the situation in that area. After being recalled to the capital by Liu Xuanzang, he also went to look at the memorials there, and found out this situation.

But in response to Kong Rong's advice, he just smiled disdainfully: Kong Wenju was really stupid at studying. Wang Kuang now has troops and horses in hand, and he is not within the area controlled by the imperial court. Why should he be restricted by your imperial court?

If you have some respect for the imperial court, you can still cope with it. If you have long been disobedient, you may not even bother to pay attention and just do your own thing.

More importantly, Wang Kuang had to collect money and food as a last resort. Before the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, natural disasters continued in various places, and the food harvest was very poor. Over the past ten years, there was not much surplus food everywhere. The Baibo thieves were wreaking havoc around Wang Kuang.

, if he didn't collect it for military use, I'm afraid his Hanoi would be captured by the Baibo bandits immediately.

Because Liu Xuan re-divided states and counties, the division of states and counties in the north has undergone many changes. For example, Hanoi and Hedong, which were originally supposed to be under Bingzhou, were now placed under the jurisdiction of Sizhou.

In addition, the adjustments to the east are not big. In addition, these adjustments have been announced to the world through edicts. Now the governors of various places have to re-determine their own spheres of influence. This is also a deliberate move to cause them to conflict. If they feel that they

The territory is occupied by others, and conflicts are inevitable.

Only when the group of guys in the east were fighting in the dark, Liu Xuan had the energy to slowly farm here. Otherwise, if the princes of the world united to fight against the imperial court, wouldn't they end up becoming the emperor's gang against the heroes of the world? This is not very comfortable.

.

"At the same time, the party is spreading its private power, has tens of thousands of troops, and is eyeing the entire Bingzhou..."

Bingzhou is now in quite a mess, with basically no top executive. Half of it is under the control of officials, half is under the control of bandits, and part of it was occupied by the Huns due to the chaos in the past few years, and they have not had time to take it back.

And Bingzhou was the northern gateway to the imperial court. If Bingzhou was lost, the imperial court would face the Huns in the north, which would naturally be a great disadvantage to Liu Xuan.

"What about Yuzhou, Xuzhou and other places?"

The situation in Hebei has become clear. Bingzhou is in chaos, and Youzhou, Qingzhou, and Jizhou are fighting to the death. It remains to be seen whether Yuan Shao will occupy Hebei in the end.

I don't know if they were talking about the affairs of the counties in Hebei. Liu Bei's face was a little ugly. Liu Xuan turned around and saw Liu Bei, knowing that Liu Bei was worried about the safety of his senior brother Gongsun Zan. But he couldn't say anything about this matter. Liu Bei now

Once you get on his boat, naturally you can no longer think about it from Gongsun Zan's perspective.

Now he already knew that the emperor wanted the heroes of Guandong to fight together, and the heroes of Guandong were not acting like courtiers at all. Liu Bei also knew that Gongsun Zan had been tabooed by the court regardless of whether he was active or passive. Even this time with Yuan Shao

If you can win in the struggle for supremacy, you will still be conquered by the court in the future.

He sighed secretly and could only pray that Gongsun Zan would be defeated in the battle with Yuan Shao and escape with his life. In that case, Liu Bei would feel that he could still save his classmate, otherwise no one would be able to save his life.

The few people around him did not have the energy to pay attention to Liu Bei. After hearing the emperor's inquiry, they immediately said: "Some counties and counties in Yuzhou were occupied by Yuan Shu, and Xuzhou was governed well by Tao Qian and Tao Gongzu. With the wars everywhere, many refugees poured into Xuzhou.

This is the most arrogant state and county right now."

These people also admire Tao Qian quite a lot, because since the reign of the late emperor, the world has been plagued by constant disasters, followed by military disasters. After such a long time, most people in various states and counties have lost their livelihood, become homeless, and have no land to cultivate.

There are countless people, but Xuzhou has always been prosperous under his governance.

Moreover, after several military disasters, Xuzhou was not harmed at all, which shows that Tao Qian also has some military skills.

Liu Xuan also knew that Tao Qian was indeed capable, but it was a pity that he was too old. Even if he recruited Tao Qian into the court and trained him well, it would not last long, so he never beat the old man.

idea.

According to the original course, although Xuzhou has been very prosperous in the past few years, it has become a place of constant disasters in the following ten years. The most critical point is that Cao Cao conquered Xuzhou, and then there were several massacres, and then Liu Bei led Xuzhou

Mu and Lu Bu entered Xuzhou, and Cao Cao conquered Xuzhou several times. In the past ten years, the owner of Xuzhou changed several times, completely destroying a prosperous state and county.

But now that the three most important people are under his own account, I wonder if Xuzhou will become like that again?

After talking to everyone about the matter, he also asked Xun You to spread the farming methods practiced in Chang'an to Yongzhou, and then spread them to Liangzhou after the popularization in Yongzhou.

However, Xun You also made a point: "There are still many fertile fields in Yongzhou, but it is difficult to implement them in the bitter cold land of Xiliang. Although your majesty's various methods are wonderful, they cannot change the entire situation in Liangzhou overnight. Liangzhou is not as good as

Make other arrangements?"

This is more in line with the current situation, such as the development of animal husbandry in Liangzhou, but Liu Xuan feels that even if Xiliang itself is not a good place, he should not give up. He can grow as much grain as he can. Anyway, with the growth of grain in Yongzhou

Mature, with the power of the formations arranged by Liu Xuan, the new grain seeds will gradually turn into high-yielding grain seeds. Even if they are thrown into Liangzhou, a lot of grain can be grown. Only when the grain is enough can the people be reassured.

Have a baby!

Otherwise, how can ordinary people dare to have children if they don't even have enough to eat? Even if one is accidentally born, they will probably be strangled to death immediately - or even worse, they will have to exchange children for food.

After the chaotic wars at the end of the Han Dynasty, the population dropped sharply. In addition to the hundreds of years of war, there were also reasons for this. Liu Xuan now ensured this, and the people naturally no longer cared about it. Only in this way can the population base increase significantly - regardless of the number of soldiers or soldiers.

The labor force is based on a large number of ordinary people, so there is no reason why Liu Xuan does not pay attention to it.

After another explanation with Xun You, he agreed with the establishment of animal husbandry in Xiliang. However, at this time, most of them were small-scale breeding. Liu Xuan had considered building a large farm to engage in large-scale breeding, but there were so many problems to be solved.

Even if he has this plan now, it won't be successful anytime soon.

I pinched the bridge of my nose and realized that even if we really want to do these two things now, we won't even be able to build a foundation in less than ten years. This shows how difficult it is to achieve great things in this era.

After talking about these things, Liu Xuan began to turn his attention to military affairs.

We have to discuss these matters with Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Lu Bu. We just talked about people's livelihood. Although these people had their own opinions, they refrained from saying anything. After hearing Liu Xuan's arrangements, they felt that their ideas were irrelevant.

It needs to be said.

As for the military, Cao Cao was the first to report: "The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is now full of 5,000 men. After this year of training, it has initially acquired combat effectiveness. The most important thing is that your Majesty has regained Xiliang, and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry's war horses have been

Supply channels, now the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry has formed a combat force and is ready to conquer all directions for His Majesty at any time."

Liu Xuan nodded, this answer satisfied him.

After the reorganization, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, except for Cao Cao's own thousand guards and heavy cavalry, were divided into two parts: Tiger Cavalry and Leopard Cavalry, each led by a captain. It was a complete cavalry unit. In the vast plains of the north,

Above, its power can be imagined.

But Liu Xuan was not satisfied with that. He then took out another prescription and asked Cao Bao to deliver it to Cao Cao. Cao Cao looked confused and looked up at Liu Xuan: "This is...?"

"This prescription is mixed into the war horse's feed to make the war horse stronger. If the fodder soaked in this prescription is consumed for a long time, the war horse can still run like flying and move freely even if it is heavily armored, and its endurance will also be enhanced, so there is no need to worry about the war horse.

After walking for a long time, I was too tired to charge."

Everyone was shocked after hearing this. If what Liu Xuan said was not exaggerated, then the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry would undoubtedly become a nightmare for all enemies - just imagine, a group of riders and horses are all wearing heavy armor, are not afraid of ordinary bows and arrows, and can directly fight against the enemy.

The cavalry that launches the attack also has the speed and long-distance running ability of the light cavalry. How terrifying is that? They are simply invincible.

Cao Cao originally did not organize the entire Tiger and Leopard Cavalry into heavy cavalry due to the strength of the horses' legs and the load-bearing capacity. Now it seems that this problem does not need to be a headache at all.

Among the people present, the one who was most envious was definitely Lu Bu, but he now knew not to be greedy for too much, not to mention that Liu Xuan didn't give him good things. As for the method of cultivating red rabbits, if he succeeded, his own performance on the battlefield would be

The combat power still needs to be improved several levels, and there is no need to covet such a prescription.

What's more, Lu Bu believed that since the emperor took out this thing in front of everyone, it meant that he would not give it to Cao Cao alone.

Sure enough, Liu Xuan then said: "At the moment, only Meng De's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is in urgent need of this thing, so I will give it to Meng De first. If anyone of you can use it, just come and tell me directly."

After finishing all this, Liu Xuan asked everyone to disperse, but at the end he called out again: "Meng De, please stay."
