After a series of military operations, by mid-October, when Yan Liang and Gao Ran took office, Cao Ren counted 180,000 Han Chinese in these five counties.

After learning that Wudu County was included in the newly established Yongzhou, the remaining four counties counted about 150,000 Han Chinese people.

These 150,000 people are the only remaining population in the four counties, and they are also the main number of Han people in Liangzhou.

The combined population of the four counties is not even as large as that of one of the most populous counties in Qingyan Prefecture and Jizhou, which shows the huge number of people lost in these areas after the war, as well as the severity of the damage to production.

This made Cao Ren very tired, and it also made Chen Gong tired.

Chen Gong participated in the Guanzhong immigration program in an all-round way, and knew how serious the population loss in Guanzhong was, and also knew how difficult it was for Guo Peng to migrate the population from Jizhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou and other populous states to Guanzhong to replenish the population, and also knew the fact that Guo Peng was distressed by the lack of population every day.

Guo Peng was forced to use foreign races to integrate into the Han nationality to increase the population, and now he has obtained a more extensive and sparsely populated Liangzhou, according to Guo Peng's character of developing mad demons, he will definitely be even more distressed.

Manpower is needed at any time for development, but what Guo Peng lacks most is manpower, and the existing manpower to maintain the development and production of the original Central Plains essence area is very reluctant, and it is not easy to continue to immigrate.

So after learning about this situation, Chen Gong felt that Guo Peng was going to have a big head again.

However, no matter from which aspect, Chen Gong felt that Guo Peng had implemented the idea of benevolent government in civil affairs.

But Guo Peng is willing to practice and implement any policies that can improve people's livelihood, and he will do his best to take care of the people.

Although some people privately discussed that Guo Peng's Tuntian policy and the policy of arranging households and gathering the people were to squeeze the people's power to the greatest extent and there were signs of a change to tyrannical and harsh government, Chen Gong did not think so.

Guo Peng once told him that stability and peace are the most beautiful things, and it is worth paying any price for stability and peace.

Exploitation is necessary, without which it is impossible to sustain a strong army and a long march, but the resulting rapid-moving peace will shorten the time for which this suffering is to be maintained.

He will compensate those who have paid now, and when peace is restored in the world, he will do his best to make amends, even if there are things that cannot be compensated.

To have such a ruler who has his vision at the grassroots level, Chen Gong no longer knows whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.

Because Chen Gong was vaguely aware that what Guo Peng's thought about Confucian scholars advocated did not seem to be in the mainstream, although he himself had received an orthodox Confucian education and grew up.

He didn't even grow up under the Yingchuan Guo legal tutor, he was trained by Lu Zhi, and Lu Zhi is undoubtedly a great Confucian in the sea.

Chen Gong didn't believe that Lu Zhi only taught Guo Peng the art of war.

However, Guo Peng's ruling style and his ruling ideas seem to be more biased towards the period of Emperor Wu and the period of the First Emperor rather than other periods.

However, despite this, Chen Gong also felt that it was not something he could control.

Guo Peng is a mature ruler, and his skills and scheming are no longer something that anyone can restrict.

Gao Ran and Yan Liang brought 20,000 troops into the Chang'an camp, and the number of the Guanzhong front army increased from 60,000 to 80,000, and if you count the 20,000 in Hanzhong and Shangyong, there are 100,000 people.

Among them, Guo Peng stipulated that 40,000 should be stationed in Liangzhou, and 60,000 would be stationed in Guanzhong.

Relying on the current situation of population and land reclamation, unless the army also joins the tuntian sequence, the rations of the extra 20,000 troops will have to be transferred from the vicinity of Luoyang in a short period of time.

The number of troops is large, but the number of people is small, and the Guanzhong immigration plan is a long-term project, and it will not be effective in one or two months, so at the moment, Cao Ren really can't continue to march to the northwest and advance the remaining half of Liangzhou.

At present, Cao Ren needs to mobilize soldiers and auxiliaries to carry out military cantonment in Liangzhou, and after the supplementary population is in place, he will gradually convert the military cantonment into a civilian cantonment, so as to accumulate food as a reserve ration for the future march to the northwest.

In addition, Guo Peng's order to set up a horse administration in the Longyou area also reached Cao Ren.

This time to clean up Song Jian, the Longyou tribe is in the hands of Guo Peng, so Guo Peng got a large number of horses, although the Eastern Han Dynasty was far less prosperous than the Western Han Dynasty in horse politics, but the official also raised horses in Youzhou and Liangzhou, and the number of horses was no less than 200,000.

After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Eastern Han Dynasty government could not protect itself, and the horse administration was naturally abandoned, and the horses fell into the hands of local warlords and Haoqiang.

Guo Peng fought all the way and obtained no less than 150,000 horses from Youzhou and foreign tribes.

Prior to this, Guo Peng had set up a large-scale official horse farm in Bingzhou and Youzhou, which were handed over to Youzhou Thorn History and Bingzhou Thorn History respectively, and over the past few years, no less than 200,000 horses have been bred on the grassland.

This is not enough, for Guo Peng's ambition, 200,000 war horses are not enough, this is only enough for the consumption of cavalry, and it is enough for the current unification war, but if Guo Peng wants to restore the Western Regions, then these 200,000 war horses are not enough.

Reopening the Silk Road and building the Western Regions Protectorate are all strategic-level actions that require an extremely large number of war horses as a driving force.

In the west of Longshan, collectively known as this part of Longyou, the water and grass are abundant, and it is the most suitable place for raising horses.

During the Western Han Dynasty, the Longyou horse government was once very prosperous, providing the Western Han government with a large number of horses that could carry out a stable attack on the Xiongnu, although the situation was stagnant for a time in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but it was not nothing.

Guo Peng set his sights on the Longyou region early on, planning to establish the country's largest official horse farm in the Longyou region to raise a sufficient number of war horses, so as to lay the foundation for the restoration of the Hexi Corridor and the Western Regions Protectorate in the future.

In this Liangzhou crusade, Cao Ren obtained more than 100,000 horses just for the crusade against Song Jian, and more than 50,000 horses in the entire war.

The Longyou region proved to Guo Peng its strength in raising horses and its superior climate and geographical conditions.

Of course, most of these horses are ordinary untrained horses, and it will take time to become war horses, but these are not problems.

Now that most of Longyou has been controlled, time is a small matter.

So Cao Ren reported Guo Peng according to the truth.

After learning the situation, Guo Peng was very happy, and mobilized a group of experienced horse trainers from the horse farms in Youzhou and Bingzhou to come to Longyou, and let these people who are with horses all day long come to Longyou to be responsible for raising horses.

In addition, Guo Peng let Xian Yufu's younger brother Xian Yuyin come to Longyou to be in charge of Ma Zheng, special funds were allocated, not to take anyone's path, and he was also appointed as a servant of Wei State, specifically responsible for raising horses, Guo Peng said that he was looking forward to Xian Yuyin being able to restore Longyou Ma Zheng to the grand occasion of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

At the same time, Guo Peng planned to open the treasure chest of his hidden technology a little and take out the full set of harnesses.

The enemies who may have threatened him have all been swept away, the northern princes have been swept away, the north has actually been equated with unification, Guo Peng has no worries, it is time to take out a full set of harnesses.

Takahashi saddle, double stirrups, and horseshoes, it's time to take out the magic weapons of these three horse battles.

The 60,000 cavalry in the Wei army group has reached the point where they can free their hands and turn the cavalry into ironclad chariots in the real era of cold weapons.

It was time for the Wei army to make a revolutionary military change.

Let the cavalry become the absolute main force of the war, rather than the object of assistance, so that the cavalry has the strength to charge into battle, and no longer just engage in cavalry shooting on the periphery.

Cavalry weapons can also be improved.
