Time flew by, and soon it came to the end of May of the seventh year of Jian'an, that is, the end of June of 202 AD.

In the past two years, the princes of all parts of the country are training soldiers and horses to accumulate strength for the next big war, and all parties are waiting for the opportunity to unintentionally provoke wars, so the relations between various places are relatively peaceful, except for some small-scale conflicts in some places, in general, the balance of power between the princes of all walks of life has been temporarily maintained, and there have been no large-scale wars.

After two years of rest and governance, the land of Jiangdong was finally completely integrated into the rule of Yuan Yao, and the local scholars were temporarily dormant after Yuan Yao's suppression, and they did not dare to annex the land for evil, and the land of Jiangdong and Jianghuai was peaceful in the past two years, and the people also lived a relatively peaceful life, and they all accepted Yuan Yao's rule from the heart.

Yuan Yao's reputation among the people has also reached a peak, and his heroic and loving style of love for the people has spread all over the world!!

Heaven also seems to be unbearable to continue to suffer more hardships of the Han people, in the past two years, the world has suffered a lot less disasters, most of the grain in various places have been harvested, Jiangdong and Jianghuai land is even more so, within these two years Yuan Yao's granaries have been filled, Yuan Yao also had to build two large granaries in the Ezhou area, only in Jiangxia County in the treasury of the treasury as high as nearly 600,000 stones, if you count the grain storage in various places, There are at least 1.5 million stones of grain stored in the treasury under Yuan Yao's rule, which is enough to support an army of 100,000 for a year!

Now that it is close to July, the crops in the geographical location will soon usher in a bumper harvest again, and there will only be more grain stocks under Yuan Yao's rule, only in terms of grain reserves, so much grain stocks are enough to support Yuan Yao to carry out a war for many years!

Most of the land under Yuan Yao's rule was in the Jianghuai and Jiangdong regions, with the sea in the east, Yuzhou and Xuzhou under Cao Cao's forces in the north, Jingzhou occupied by Liu Biao in the west, and mountains and jungles occupied by Shanyue in the south.

In the past two years, although Yuan Yao did not have a big war with Cao Cao and Liu Biao's forces, but he was not completely idle, Yuan Yao took Lu Xun as the commander to conquer the barbarians in Shanyue, in addition to the 30,000 soldiers and horses under Lu Xun's command, the soldiers and horses in the rest of the theater were often drawn to fight.

In the past two years, Lu Xun led the army to fight three major battles with Shanyue, and more than ten small battles, winning each battle!

In the first battle, Lu Xun ambushed the 50,000 Shanyue soldiers and horses led by Zu Lang, the leader of Shanyue, with 20,000 soldiers and horses, and won a complete victory, winning more than 20,000 and surrendering more than 20,000, and killing the Shanyue generals Pan Lin, You Tu, and Peng Qi;

In the second war, Lu Xun broke the 70,000 army led by the Shanyue leaders Zu Lang and Fei Zhan with an army of 40,000, and this battle also won a complete victory, winning more than 10,000 and surrendering more than 3,000, killing the Shanyue leader Zu Lang and the Shanyue generals Jun She, Jin Qi and others, if it were not for the arrival of Shanyue reinforcements, this battle could wipe out the remnants of his army;

In the third war, Lu Xun defeated the 130,000 troops of the Shanyue leaders Fei Zhan, Hong Ming, Chen Ce, Wu Fu, Huadang and other troops with 60,000 troops, and the battle beheaded more than 50,000 people, collected more than 30,000 people, and the rest of the Shanyue rebel army all fled.

In the remaining more than ten small battles, Lu Xun's troops and horses also won every battle, killing more than 10,000 people in total and surrendering more than 6,000 people, which was also a rich result!

In the past two years, Lu Xun led the army to kill more than 100,000 Shanyue soldiers and horses, and collected more than 60,000 Shanyue soldiers, bringing nearly 200,000 battle losses to the Shanyue tribe!

You must know that the total population of the Shanyue tribe is less than one million, and the loss of nearly 200,000 people has greatly damaged the vitality of the Shanyue tribe, and the Shanyue tribes everywhere are terrified of Lu Xun and no longer dare to go down the mountain to loot!

After killing the Shanyue tribe, Yuan Yao began to pacify the strategy, he ordered Lu Xun to select and reorganize the young Zhuang among the more than 60,000 Shanyue descendants, which won 20,000 new Shanyue troops, and then placed the remaining old, weak, sick and disabled in Huiji County, and took Sun Shao, a minister of Jiangdong, as the Shanyue pacification envoy to deal with Shanyue affairs.

Before Sun Shao set off, he asked Yuan Yao for some preferential tax exemption policies and money and grain support, and after arriving in Huiji County, Sun Shao first used these policies and money and grain as appeasement, and then personally led people to teach them the art of building houses and planting, so that these Shanyue people gradually adapted to the life under the mountain, and gradually returned to their hearts.

After these Shanyue people had adapted to life under the mountain and returned to their hearts, Yuan Yao could send people up the mountain to encourage more Shanyue tribes to move down the mountain to live and live, which would not only increase the population under his rule, but also reduce the threat of the Shanyue tribes in the south under Yuan Yao's rule, so that Yuan Yao could do his best to carry out the war against Jingzhou in the west and Cao Cao's forces in the north.

However, this policy still needs a considerable period of time to be implemented, but fortunately, Lu Xun has been bold in using troops, and has temporarily crippled and abolished the Shanyue tribe!!

……

After two years of running-in and round battles, the soldiers and horses under the command of each major theater have become more well-trained, the cooperation between the various departments has become more tacit, and the overall combat power of each major theater has been greatly improved!

It took more than a year for Qi Jiguang to understand the Mo knife smelting and forging technology, and he could smelt stronger and tougher steel to forge the Mo knife, but these steels were not easy to smelt, and the output was extremely limited.

So far, the Ordnance Institute has only created more than 3,000 ring-headed knives for cavalry and 1,000 Mo knives for foot soldiers, Yuan Yao has already made people test, the ring-head knives used by cavalry can easily cut off the weapons equipped by the guards, if with the help of the power of the war horse, the ring-head knife is chopped by the trend, and the lethality caused can be easily torn even by iron armor!

The lethality of these Mo knives is even greater, and it is really worthy of the words of 'entering like a wall and breaking people'!!

Yuan Yao did not send these weapons to the soldiers and horses in the major war zones, but all of them were equipped in his personal guards, more than 3,000 ring-headed swords were equipped with 1,000 heavily armored iron cavalry and 2,000 elite cavalry, and 1,000 Mo knives were equipped with 1,000 heavy-armored foot soldiers.

After Yuan Yao equipped these weapons, he placed all the 4,000 soldiers and horses in a separate military camp as a secret weapon, just waiting for the future to show their incomparable edge on the battlefield!!
