Five years later, the Xianbei outside Youzhou was beaten by Zuo Xiaoyou and almost exterminated the clan. A large number of Xianbei slaves were brought to Youzhou by Zuo Xiaoyou for construction. There were more and more brick factories, cement factories, and wool workshops. Under the guidance of Zuo Xiaoyou, brick houses, cement roads, and wool sweaters appeared in large numbers. Almost every household in Youzhou had a new house. In the cold winter, people in Youzhou had a warm kang to keep the cold, and sweaters to keep the cold when they went out. In recent years, a large number of cotton has been planted. Now a small number of rich people have put on cotton coats and covered with quilts, making the winter in Youzhou no longer difficult.

Because of the five consecutive years of development and construction in Youzhou, everyone in Youzhou has a job and everyone can make money, which has made the people's lives better and better. Almost every Youzhou people have extremely support and love for Zuo Xiaoyou, and many people even have set up tablets of immortality for Zuo Xiaoyou at home.

In addition, Zuo Xiaoyou also successfully studied the method of salt drying, so that precious things like salt are no longer exclusive to the powerful and powerful, and that people in every household can eat salt. Of course, this is the first time that snow-white fine salt has appeared, and the price is still a bit expensive. Although people can eat it, they can only ensure that they have sufficient salt intake, and there will be no more.

This is also to prevent the people from selling it outside when they have excess salt. In this era, salt and iron are important strategic materials for the government. After Zuo Xiaoyou developed the method of salt drying, he passed this method to Liu Bei, which attracted the highest attention of Liu Bei. Now there are many salt drying fields under Liu Bei's rule, and these are all secretly protected by the army and no one is allowed to get close to it.

Using the large amount of salt stock in his hand, Liu Bei began to ask his brother-in-law to organize a caravan and go to other forces to sell salt at high prices to obtain heavy profits. In order to make more money and develop more people's livelihood, Liu Bei has not even launched a war on the outside world in recent years. In five years, relying on selling salt to the outside world, Liu Bei's "treasury" has been expanded again and again. The beautiful life made Liu Bei a little overjoyed.

As Liu Bei became richer and richer, the other princes were naturally poorer. The people under Liu Bei's rule became richer and richer, which led to the people or refugees under the territory of other princes moving to Liu Bei's territory. In five years, the people under Liu Bei's rule had increased by three million. In addition, the people who were originally under Liu Bei's rule now have more than 20 million people, accounting for more than half of the entire Han Dynasty.

Simply put, Liu Bei had already taken the initiative in the world. Any princes around him were trembling with fear. He didn't know when Liu Bei would send troops to attack them? Except for Jiangdong and Yizhou, which had natural dangers in the Yangtze River and natural dangers in mountains and rivers, no prince thought he could resist Liu Bei's military peaks. Liu Bei himself also thought so.

In five years, Cao Ying, who is beside Zuo Xiaoyou, is ten years old. She has grown a lot taller and her appearance is becoming more and more in the direction of Li Meiqi.

Zuo Xiaoyou thought it was very novel. He was obviously an oriental little loli, but he looked like a mixed Chinese and Western race the more he grew. I don’t know what kind of bloodline Cao Ying is?

But there is no perfect logic in the movie world, and Zuo Xiaoyou can only treat it as a prank in this world.

In the spring of that year, Zuo Xiaoyou was supervising Cao Ying to practice martial arts in the yard. A burst of rapid footsteps came. Luo Ping'an, who was like a black bear, walked quickly: "Lord!"

"Continue to practice." Zuo Xiaoyou criticized Cao Ying who stopped and turned his head and asked, "What's the matter?"

"The messenger of the King of Han has arrived." Luo Ping'an said: "The King of Han seems to be trying to use troops from outside, probably because he wants to invite his lord out of the mountain."

Zuo Xiaoyou shook his head: "That's not necessarily!"

In the past few years, he has basically taken away military achievements. Guan and Zhang and other military generals could only get some scraps of materials, which has long attracted the dissatisfaction of many military generals. Liu Bei transferred Zuo Xiaoyou to Youzhou, and he had the idea of ​​making military achievements for Guan and Zhang and other military generals. However, a few years ago, Zuo Xiaoyou developed the method of drying salt, and also created various good things for the country and the people, which made Liu Bei, who originally wanted to use military force to the outside world, turned to the infrastructure in the territory, making Guan and Zhang and others very depressed.

Now that the five years of infrastructure construction have been completed, Liu Bei’s rule has an unprecedented prosperous scene. If he has been working for another thirty or fifty years, he might just enter the industrial age.

But Liu Bei is now fifty years old and Adou is five years old. After five years of observation, he found that his son doesn't seem to be very smart, he has a little difficulty in studying, and has no talent in practicing martial arts. His only advantage is filial piety and obedience. But this is useless for a future emperor.

Fearing that his son would not be able to take over after his death, Liu Bei made up his mind to unify the world before his son became an adult and give his son a stable political environment so as not to be corrupted by the country he had finally obtained.

But this time he sent a messenger not to let Zuo Xiaoyou lead the troops to fight, but to let him stay in Youzhou with peace of mind and develop Youzhou well. This time he had no military achievements and would have opportunities in the future.

Balabara had a lot of things, and the main purpose was to calm his emotions, so that other generals would not have military achievements but would not have his share, thus causing unnecessary trouble.

After reading the letter, Zuo Xiaoyou smiled faintly, turned his head to ask Luo Ping'an and Zhao Zilong: "I don't have to go to war this time. Do you two want to make some military achievements?"

Of course, Luo Ping'an wanted to make military achievements. After years of hard work, although Luo Ping'an's current military power is worse than Zhao Zilong, it is enough to be promoted to a first-class general, almost at the level of Xiahou Dun. However, Luo Ping'an has become the commander of the infantry battalion of the Youzhou Army in Youzhou, with 30,000 people under his command, and his position is also a general with a miscellaneous general.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Yu Jin once had such a title.

With 30,000 soldiers in charge and the title of general, Luo Ping'an can now be said to be a glorious family. Two years ago, Luo Ping'an was invited back to Changshan by the people of Changshan because of his future. The people were welcomed by Luo Ping'an, which made Luo Ping'an feel that he had no regrets in his life.

Originally, the people wanted to invite Zhao Zilong, but because Zhao Zilong was in charge of 10,000 cavalry, he often had to patrol outside the border to prevent the grassland wolf clan from making a comeback, so he had no time to return to his hometown, which made the people of Changshan feel deeply regretful.

At present, Zhao Zilong is also a miscellaneous general who defeated the bandits. He is a military position that Zhang Liao had done in history. His main task is to sweep away the bandits abroad everywhere, and Luo Ping'an is responsible for it. But it is basically a deterrent effect. This is how the title of General Tiger Power comes from. With tigers here to defend the market, who dares to rebel?

But who wouldn't want to make his military achievements bigger? So there is a chance to make military achievements. Luo Ping'an will definitely not miss it. Therefore, Luo Ping'an hesitated for a moment about the opportunity given by Zuo Xiaoyou, and told the truth: "Lord, I will finally want to help the King of Han to unify the world and win the wife and son."

Zuo Xiaoyou was not surprised by Luo Ping'an's choice and nodded: "Okay, go and prepare. I will take my letter to Xuchang to meet the King of Han tomorrow. I believe the King of Han will make some arrangements for you."

"Thank you lord." Luo Ping'an was overjoyed and thanked.

Zuo Xiaoyou smiled faintly, turned his head and asked, "Zilong, where are you?"

Zhao Zilong shook his head: "There will be a post to sweep the border in the end, so I won't go this time."

Zuo Xiaoyou nodded with a smile: "Okay, there must be a general in Youzhou to avoid some unsightly messing around."

Since it was already arranged, Zuo Xiaoyou wrote a letter and asked Luo Ping'an to take him to Xuchang to meet Liu Bei and let him gain more military merits. Luo Ping'an is an ambitious person, but he did not have enough strength to support his ambitions before, but now he has the strength of a first-class military general. Since he has the strength, why not strive for greater military merits?

Just as Zuo Xiaoyou said, a soldier who doesn’t want to be a general is not a good soldier, but Luo Ping'an is a good soldier. His military achievements are all achieved. As long as he has enough ability, he can make all his military achievements.

Zhao Zilong is an unambitious person. No matter what he does, it is out of a sense of responsibility. He can climb to his current position without realizing it and naturally achieve it.

Now that he is on the Youzhou border, there are still some wolves on the grasslands on the border that have not been wiped out. For the long-term stability of the Han Dynasty, Zhao Zilong has the responsibility and obligation to wipe out the wolf tribes abroad to ensure the long-term stability of the Han Dynasty.

Out of his love for Zhao Zilong, Zuo Xiaoyou also passed on a method of returning to Qi and maintaining health to Zhao Yun. As long as he studied hard and practiced hard, Zhao Yun's lifespan could exceed 200 years old. Even at 100 years old, it would be no different from a middle-aged man in forty years old. In history, there was an eighty-year-old veteran Lian Po. According to this standard, Zhao Zilong could also work in the army until 160 years old.

The 160-year-old veteran general is really a living fossil.

A month after Luo Ping'an left, Liu Bei indeed launched an attack on Xiangyang.

At this time, Liu Biao had already died of illness, but Liu Biao's concubine Cai wanted to support his son Liu Cong as the governor of the province. Moreover, the military affairs of Jingzhou were under the charge of Cai's younger brother Cai Mao, so it was too easy to support his son.

But in this way, Liu Qi, the son of Liu Biao's wife, was in danger. When he learned that he had been targeted by Cai, he would be eliminated at any time. Liu Qi fled to Liu Bei's rule in panic and begged Liu Bei to be fair for him.

Liu Bei was worried that there was no reason or opportunity to send troops, but he was drowsy and someone gave him a pillow. Liu Bei had a strong impression of Liu Qi, so he immediately patted his chest and promised that he would be fair to Liu Qi, and then sent a hundred thousand troops to Xiangyang.

Cai Mao was just a bag of wine. It was okay to let him engage in internal strife, but when he encountered a war, he was afraid. What's more, this time he came to Liu Bei, who had already proclaimed himself the King of Han!

So before the army arrived in Xiangyang, Cai Mao sent a surrender letter to open the city to welcome Liu Bei into Jingxiang.

Perhaps it was because Jingzhou was obtained too easily, which made Liu Bei feel complacent and thought that his army was invincible in the world. So after a little rest, he led his army to cross the river to attack Dongwu and unify the world.

However, after a Battle of Red Cliff, Liu Bei suffered the biggest defeat in history and almost handed over the Jingzhou he had just obtained. (To be continued.)
