After all the seizures of Youzhou, Gongsun Du still lived in Xiangping and did not go to the state to govern Yuyang.

On the matter of whether to relocate, Gongsun Du's civil and military forces failed to reach an agreement. The Wenchens led by Wei You and Xi Zhong opposed the move to Yuyang, at least for a short time, for three reasons: first, although Youzhou was based, Liaodong was their foundation, whether it was the construction of roads and houses, or the living standards of the people, the rest of the counties were still much worse; Second, the new base of Youzhou, there is still Yuan Shao, who holds Jizhou in the south, is strong, if he moves to Yuyang, it will not give him a sense that he is going south, which is not conducive to development; Third, it has a lot to do with the first two, first of all, if Youzhou wants to be developed, it will inevitably expand sweet potatoes and other things, but in a hurry, it will inevitably be learned by Yuan Shao and others, and it will be difficult to guarantee that there will be no fights at that time, and then if you want to keep it secret, you have to send more people, but if you directly let the original Liaodong Army pass, it is undoubtedly to tell other forces that they already have strong strength, and they will be stronger in the future. You can't tell them you're not going to be any stronger, can you? No one believes that! After all, the matter is already being done.

With the return of Gongsun Du to Xiangping, the recruitment of troops in various counties has also begun, and tens of thousands of people are already being trained, and by the end of the year, perhaps more than 100,000 horses will be added, and Youzhou will have more than 300,000 troops.

The military generals led by Xu Rong felt that they should move to Yuyang for three reasons: first, Gongsun Du was appointed by the imperial court to Youzhou Mu, since he had taken Youzhou, he should follow the ancestral system of the imperial court to Yuyang to defend it, otherwise it was likely to be attacked by the ministers of the court; Second, the people of Xinde County are uncertain, and moving to Yuyang can play a role in stabilizing people's hearts, otherwise they will be used by others, and they may be chaotic, and they will be taken advantage of by Yuan Shao in the south. Third, although Liaodong is good, it is more remote in the end, at least much more remote than Yuyang, which is not conducive to competing for the world later.

The last point is a bit vague, which refers to both the position and the absorption of talents after exposing their strength. Without strong strength, how to attract talents? By fame? Gongsun Du's reputation is far worse than Yuan Shao and others.

Gongsun Du did not express his position on the two sides, but judging from his continued stay in Xiangping, he supported Wei You and others.

It's just that neither Wei Yu nor Xu Rong know the real reason why Gongsun Du stayed.

Judging from the map, the distance between Xiangping and the Central Plains is actually not far, especially from the way to the sea and Donglai, which is actually very close. In addition, Donglai has already been secretly mastered by him, and he will not have to send troops from here in the future, so it is much more convenient for Xiangping than Yuyang.

In addition, from the perspective of war, there is a saying that "the grain and grass go first before the soldiers and horses move", which directly highlights the importance of grain and grass. And why should grain and grass come first? The main reason is that the loss of grain and grass is large! And now Gongsun Du's center of gravity is still in Liaodong, and the rest of the counties want to be on a par with Liaodong, not to mention ten years, at least seven or eight years, grain and grass, it may be faster, after all, the output of sweet potatoes and the like is huge, and the expansion is easy, but considering the problem of secrecy, I am afraid that it will take seven or eight years in the end, so the transportation of materials will finally start from Liaodong. But starting from Liaodong, through Changli, to Yuyang, and then to the Central Plains, I am afraid that the consumption is not a small amount, but if you change to the sea route, it will be different, not only the number of transportation has increased greatly, but the consumption has been greatly reduced.

There is also the most critical point, the problem of talents, Gongsun Du is not worried, although the top talents are not many, but not less, whether it is a civil servant or a general, what is lacking is only the talent at the bottom. And these people, after so many years of reform in Liaodong, although there are still many people who are only literate and understand some superficial scriptures and history, it is undeniable that under the huge base, there are still many more talents who can manage the city.

Moreover, when this matter spread, Gongsun Du believed that there would never be any more children of the family who would serve him. Because Gongsun Du is simply cutting off their roots.

Having said so much, on this day, when Gongsun Du was thinking about whether to increase troops to Donglai and occupied more counties, the soldiers suddenly came to report-

"Lord, Mrs. Qing is still ten miles away from entering the city."

Gongsun Du felt a headache when he heard this, although Zhang Zhi had already told him about the speculation of several of their women, but he still felt incomprehensible about Zhang Zhi's behavior of pulling Lang with such a match. If you want to say that it's just big and small Qiao, after all, the second daughter has also reached the age of marriage, but the problem is that she has made a marriage to the Zhen family, and the object is still the Luo Shen who is only in his early tens.

Roselle is beautiful, but the key is that she is too young! Even if Gongsun Du is very affected by the times, there is still a feeling in his heart that he can't talk about it!

"My lord?"

Suddenly, Gongsun Du found that his own soldiers were still in front of him, and then he remembered that he was distracted, and a trace of embarrassment flashed on his face, and said: "Well, I know, you go down!" ”

When the soldiers left, Gongsun Du began to think about whether to go to greet him.

Go? Or not going?

Without waiting for Gongsun Du to come up with a result, Zhang Zhi, who had already gotten the news, rushed over and said, "Master, the father and daughter of the Qiao family have just arrived, and the master still has to greet him in person as the master, otherwise it will be rude, what does the master think?" After speaking, Meimu looked at Gongsun Du fixedly.

Gongsun Du couldn't help but secretly complain, where did he not know that Zhang Zhi was worried that he was dissatisfied with their decision, so he came to force the palace. It's easy to greet, but doesn't that also show that he has that kind of mind?

Gongsun Du had the heart to refuse, but looking at Zhang Zhi's pleading face, he couldn't be ruthless.

"Alright! Let's go together. Gongsun Du agreed, but also said politely, "But if you are the lord of a state, you don't need to go to the city gate to greet you, right?" How about being greeted right at your doorstep? "Ground floor

Zhang Zhi hesitated when she heard this, she hoped to greet her at the gate of the city, and then spread the matter directly, and it was best to make it an established fact, but as a woman, she felt that the verbal persecution before should not be, and now if she has to make an inch, it will be a loss of womanhood.

"Yes, sir!" Zhang Zhiying bowed and responded.

Gongsun Du nodded, summoned a personal soldier, and asked him to send someone to the city gate to inquire about the news, and once he saw the carriage coming, he would immediately inform him.

Ten miles of road, for a wide and smooth road, and a specially modified carriage, is not far away, but it takes less than a quarter of an hour to turn around. When Huang Qing entered the city, she saw that there was no Zhang Zhi and others at the city gate, and she wondered in her heart: Didn't my sister convince her husband?

Looking at the city wall that was close at hand, Huang Qing took out a token and handed out the carriage. Then, in a short time, under the astonished gaze of the crowd at the city gate, three carriages entered the city.

Gongsun Du received the news and came to the gate with Zhang Zhi.

After Huang Qing entered the city, he kept looking outside the car, and when he was not far from the door, he saw the figures of Gongsun Du and the others, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sir!"

"Sister!"

Huang Qing got out of the carriage, first exhaled, and then said, "Qiao Gong and the two sisters have arrived." ”

Gongsun Du was quite awkward when he heard this, but he disappeared in an instant, and then said, "Thank you for your hard work!" ”

"It's not hard, everything is what a concubine should do." Huang Qing only felt that her heart was so sweet, and she still felt a little tired.

Gongsun Du nodded, and an old man walked down from the second carriage, greeted him and said, "Qiao Gong came from afar, Gongsun Du has lost his welcome, and he still looks at Haihan!" ”

Father Qiao looked at Gongsun Du when he heard the voice, and saw that his face was resolute, and a shallow beard fell neatly on his chin, looking even more solemn, but ...... Isn't the Governor over forty years old? How do you look like you're in your early thirties at most?

The doubts in his heart couldn't be asked, Qiao Gong couldn't help but be rude, and hurriedly responded: "Lord Zhou Mu said that he laughed, Qiao is just a down-and-out person, it is a great blessing to be greeted by Lord Zhou Mu, how dare you ask for more!" ”

"Haha! Qiao Gong Yaliang! ”

While speaking, sisters Qiao Ying and Qiao Xue, who were in the third carriage, walked down. The second daughter is still a daughter who has not yet left the cabinet, and Gongsun Du is not good at rushing forward, but he just glanced at it and took it back. But this was enough to surprise him, originally he thought that Zhang Zhi and Cai Yan were already beautiful and moving enough, but he didn't expect the second daughter to be two points higher, one tranquil, the other smart.

"Sure enough, she is a beauty who has left a name in history!"

For some reason, Gongsun Du actually had a trace of expectation for Luo Shen at this time.

Phew, Phew...... That's not a good idea!

Gongsun Du's heart turned so many things, and it was only a moment.

"Qiao Gong has worked hard all the way, why don't you go in and bathe and change clothes first, and wash away your fatigue first?"

For Gongsun Du's suggestion, Qiao's father has nothing to do.
