Time flies.

Three years passed leisurely.

In the past three years, Liaodong has finally gained a trace of peace. In the early decades, because of the weakness of the imperial court, it was looted every year by the steppe aliens such as Xianbei, Buyeo, Goguryeo, and Louru, but sometimes they plundered villages, and sometimes they plundered cities. Nearly ten years ago, it directly broke Liaodong, which made Liaodong dilapidated for several years.

In the past three years, the Xianbei, Buyeo and other grassland alien races have died down, and there is no crime in autumn.

Three years of stability, so that Liaodong has a great development, first of all, the increase in population: with the increase of warships, three years from Qingzhou Donglai to the people of no less than one million, in addition, the stable life of every household newborn is also greatly increased, almost every family but where there are young couples have given birth to a son or a daughter, occasionally twins, and even some have two children in three years. Today, Liaodong has a population of about 3.8 million, which can be regarded as a large population.

Secondly, Gongsun Du not only took all the land of Lelang and Belt Fang in his hands, but also took all the areas south of Lelang, and also re-took Xigaima and Gao Xian of Xuansu County, which he had given up before, under his command, which can be said to have greatly increased his strength, and it has exceeded the size of half of Youzhou.

Moreover, the number of troops has also increased greatly, and now it has more than 100,000 people. With the increase of the city, the number of infantry increased rapidly, and now there are 70,000 men; The number of cavalry increased slightly, but now there were 35,000 men, and another 800 heavy cavalry, which could be called a sharp increase in strength; With the increase in the number of warships, the number of naval troops has also increased a lot, plus Cheng Pu and others who have not returned so far, there are nearly 10,000 people. In addition, the number of heavy shield soldiers has also increased to 1,000, and the number of round shield soldiers has increased to 500, all thanks to the fact that Zhu Yamu has raised a large number of cattle and sheep with more than 100 clansmen in the past three years, as well as war horses. The number of pro-soldiers, however, is still a thousand, and there is no increase.

Finally, and most importantly, two years ago, Gongsun Du married Zhang Zhi, and less than a year later, under Zhang Zhi's matchmaking, Huang Qing also walked into the backyard of General Duliao's mansion, occupied one of the courtyards, and became sisters.

Since Huang Qing was accepted, Gongsun Du naturally handed over the Tianpan Sword and Dipan Sword of the Sancai Sword Technique to her. The two of them practiced sword fighting, and in more than a year, they were already able to exert great power, and even Huang Zhong was full of praise.

"Purely based on the theory of foot combat, given time, no one will be invincible!" After a discussion, Huang Zhong sighed.

The sword is a short blade, and it is better to fight on foot.

Liaodong can be peaceful for three years is not for nothing, in the first year, Xianbei originally united with Fuyu, Goguryeo and Lou Ru three tribes intended to besiege Gongsun Du, but the imperial court has been 100,000 troops, divided into 20,000 to Huguan to stop the Xianbei cavalry of Bingzhou, the remaining 80,000 horses went straight to Jizhou, under the leadership of Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song, successively recovered more than ten cities, until Julu County Xiatao, was stopped by the army led by Tanshi Huai, stalemate for several months, the two sides retreated.

Xianbei was contained, and the three tribes of Buyeo and Goguryeo did not dare to make waves, no matter how the king of Goguryeo jumped up and down and encouraged the king of the two tribes, it was to no avail, but it was seen countless jokes!

In the second year, the imperial court was encouraged by the results of the first year, and after the beginning of spring, it again marched north, still with Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song as generals.

Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song really deserved to be the two of the six generals of the late Han Dynasty, and they had already expected that Tanshi Huai had already prepared, so Lu Zhi used the banner of himself and Huangfu Song to march all the way to the Tao. Huangfu Song took thousands of light horsemen from Yanzhou Dong'a quietly crossed the river to the north, entered Jizhou, and raided Xindu, Anping County, Xindu was defenseless, and was taken in an hour, and then, Huangfu Song led his troops to the west, taking advantage of the news to take Fuliu, and connected two cities in one day.

Subsequently, Huangfu Song no longer went west, but turned north, to the hinterland of Jizhou, so that Tanshi Huai could only divide troops to block. Lu Zhi took the opportunity to storm the pottery, and caused heavy losses to the army under Tan Shihuai for three consecutive days. It was only at this time that Tanshi Huai understood that he could not be afraid of anyone in terms of horse warfare, but he was still far from foot warfare and city defense warfare.

"My prairie son was born on horseback, and he should die on horseback!"

Tanshi Huai, who understood it, gave up the advantage of the city and led the army out of the city to fight Lu Zhi, but for the people in the city to help Lu Zhi from the inside, Lu Zhi's pottery was broken, and Tanshi Huai had no choice but to retreat to Luancheng.

Lu Zhi took the opportunity to recover Julu County, and Huangfu Song also retreated to Anping County and joined forces with Lu Zhi to take it down. Even under the two counties, Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song intended to defend the two counties and wait for next year to send troops, however, after the imperial court learned about it, they once again made the big mistake of making light efforts and rash advances, and asked the two generals to recover Jizhou in one fell swoop, and defeated the Qianqiu Pavilion at the junction of Julu and Changshan for Tanshi Huai.

The second general had to defend his subordinates desperately, so he was able to escape and return to Julu County to defend it strictly, so that Tanshi Huai did not take the opportunity to seize the city.

The court was woken up by this blow, and did not dare to speak rashly.

Tens of thousands of elites were destroyed in one fell swoop, naturally it was impossible to just forget it, Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song became the backstabbers, if it weren't for the efforts of the ministers of the DPRK and China to save them, plus the credit of recovering the lost territory in the past two years, the two would have fallen to the ground.

The imperial court ordered a clan to be sent, and a general Zhu Jun went to Julu and Anping to guard the city.

The soldiers and horses suffered heavy losses, Liu Hong intended to recruit troops again, in order to send troops north in the coming year, but when he raised donations from the court, the money he got was very little, but no matter how angry, the minister's family of the heart to the court was about to be unable to open the pot, and families like Runan Yuan, Yingchuan Xun and other families were unwilling to take out money, without him, Liu Hong gave too little benefit.

If you talk to others about interests, then there is only interests, not loyalty!

Liu Hong was helpless about this, and after a burst of anger, he could only temporarily extinguish his thoughts. It's just that what he doesn't know is that if Gongsun Du hadn't sent Huang Zhong to lead his troops to contain tens of thousands of troops such as Ge Ri Doro in Changli, I'm afraid that Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song would not have been so easy to take Julu and Anping two counties this time.

In the third year, there were successive battles, and Tanshi Huai's subordinates also lost tens of thousands of elite horsemen, and they had to guard against Zhu Jun of the giant deer, but he still used Ge Ri Duo Luo to deter Liaodong, and he had no idea of marching.

The inaction of the imperial court made Tanshihuai recuperate at the same time, but also understood that the imperial court had no strength to march for the time being, so he had the idea of eliminating Gongsun Du of Liaodong and eliminating future troubles. Send people to Buyeo, Goguryeo, and Louru to liaison......

However, all this didn't seem to have anything to do with Gongsun Du, at this time he was teasing Gongsun Yi and Gongsun Yun in the backyard, with a smile on his face, and a satisfied laugh from time to time.

Gongsun Yi, the eldest son of Gongsun Du, was born by Zhang Zhi and is now more than a year old. It is precisely because Zhang Zhi is pregnant that she will match Gongsun Du and Huang Qing.

Gongsun Yun, the eldest daughter of Gongsun Du, was born by Huang Qing, but now she has just learned to climb, and she is less than eight months old. (Don't dwell on the question of how much you can climb and walk, different eras, different living environments, and different people must have an impact.) ）

The birth of Gongsun Yi and Gongsun Yun made Wei You and other civil and military people feel at ease, and at the same time breathed a long sigh of relief. In particular, Huang Zhong had some regrets in his heart, but more of a relaxation.
