Li Jiazhuang, War Department.

"According to the information provided by the intelligence services, the size of the White Polish Army has increased again, and the reason for the expansion is that they have recruited a large number of displaced people, and they have begun to attack the landlords' powerful places, and some of our merchants have also received orders for arms, and it seems that they have a big plan." Shang Wu said with a piece of information.

"Well, we've taken that into account as well. However, such a situation is meaningless to us, or rather, we should know that such a thing is happening. Jia Xu said this in some official documents. Most of the official documents of the Republican Army were actually handled by Jia Xu. Shang Wu is only dealing with a very small part.

"Hmm. That's right, there is a connection with each other, the increase in the number of displaced people makes the desperate hope of the displaced people have a real way to live, what is the road to life, this is the road to life, the Bai Bo army can provide food, they can have enough to eat, they can live, their requirements are not very high. But such a basic wish, the imperial court could not satisfy them, which was a big blow to them. Shang Wu said.

"An even bigger blow is yet to come." Jia Xu said.

"They are destroying the local order, the economic order, and all kinds of order, and the destruction of these orders has made the wealth gathered by the landlords come to naught, in your words, the gap between the rich and the poor is getting wider and wider, and this has caused an extremely acute contradiction, and if this contradiction cannot be solved, it will be further expanded, and even, and finally, it will cause a huge disorder of order, and now, there is such a slim." Jia Xu said.

"This kind of chaos is human life, more innocent people are reduced to ashes, and we can't let such a thing face such a situation." Jia Xu looked up at Shang Wu and said.

Population is also a resource, especially in times of war. Population is so important, but many times, the warlords who are fighting don't pay much attention to this, they just see the population as an expansion as a source of soldiers for their own needs, as for the sacrificed population. They don't care at all. After all, in this day and age, human life is too unimportant.

"Well, that's right, a number of ministers in Hedong have sent a telegram together, and they hope that we can get those displaced people here, and the farmers need people. And we also need people to build roads, and we can't do anything without them. Of course. In many cases, we need to complete such things in a timely manner, otherwise, we will not have such an opportunity to develop. Shang Wu said.

"So, the current situation is very important for us, and we need to deal with a lot of people's problems properly." Shang Wu said.

In fact, the order has already been given. But it takes some time to make a difference, after all, it's not something that can be done all at once, it takes a lot of time to complete, otherwise, they wouldn't have such things themselves. The situation is like this, and there are bound to be a lot of things that they need to solve. That's some of the situations they need to do at the moment.

"Well, I think we should make a plan, as long as there is turmoil, where there is war, we should pay attention to the demographic changes, avoid the loss of more people, we should provide more medical care, food, relief, and we can obtain corresponding independence diplomatically, so that our situation will become much more favorable." Jia Xu proposed such a plan.

"Yes, we should do this, perhaps, this kind of thing will happen in the future, and if we have a good plan, such a thing will be easier to solve." Shang Wu said. This does happen, and it will happen.

Because the history behind is so chaotic, large-scale wars bring all kinds of population losses, not only wars, hunger, plagues, constantly wreaking havoc among the population, this is simply a disaster. Doing such a thing well may be able to achieve such a goal, after all, such a thing is an extremely beneficial possibility for them.

Shang Wu: They have already begun to make relevant plans. After all, if such a thing is not adjusted in time, the result will be very different. Such a thing, Shang Wu still does not want to happen.

Jingshi, Luoyang.

The general is still very hard-working, he constantly sends his men to collect grain and grass, as well as all kinds of war materials, there is a situation of large-scale conquest, but in fact, this is a proper excuse for those veteran oilers to make a fortune.

"The commercial tax has increased sevenfold. Prices have risen quite dramatically. A jar of wine costs one hundred and fifty dollars. One hundred and fifty dollars. Cao Cao complained angrily.

Cao Cao restrained his troops and let them just train, train.

However, many troops began to violate the law and discipline. The area around Luoyang has become the hardest hit area of the military disaster. The soldiers were always in groups of three or five, and then they took everything from the common people, from quilts, clothes, to food and salt. As long as they think it's something of military materiel, it's all. And in order to let the general go on the expedition, Jian Shuo also desperately gave a certain convenience, he hoped that the general and the republican army would be inseparable. In the end, both sides suffered huge casualties. He is so good that he can reap the benefits of the fisherman. The idea is good, but alas, there are things that are just thought about.

The general just kept looking for excuses and delaying time, he didn't want to go on the expedition, and his sister, Empress He, sent him news that His Majesty the Emperor's illness had worsened, and the state affairs continued to intensify. The physical condition is already extremely serious. Despite the constant conditioning of the imperial doctor. But there is no way to do it. The general could only let his men desperately stall for time.

For example, some of the collected grain was sold to other regions, for example, and it was transported to the Republican Army many times. The IRA continued to import food. As for the purpose, they are not very clear. But food is an important strategic resource. It will still be very proactive to occupy more strategic resources.

In addition to this, there are other things to do in some situations like this. They would find a way to destroy some of the food, so that they would not be able to collect more supplies, but this would bring great disasters to the surrounding areas, and Cao Cao was extremely annoyed by this, and he thought that this move was a great harm. But Yuan Shao supported this, as long as the general remained in Beijing, he would have the opportunity to participate in the operation to eradicate the eunuchs. The Great General is one such representative.

"There is too much helplessness in this kind of thing, and our strength is too weak to carry out this move at all, so my advice is not to do this, after all, it will bring us a lot of trouble." Xi Zhicai said that he did not recommend Cao Cao to do this, because it would not be good for Cao Cao, on the contrary, it would bring him a lot of trouble. Because exposing their views and opinions too early will not bring any benefit to Cao Cao, on the contrary, many things are not some things that they can do well, and this is some of the difficulties they are currently gathering, otherwise, they themselves would not have such problems.

"Well, such a situation does cause us a lot of trouble." Cao Cao said helplessly.

"But if you continue to do this, it will be good for the world." Cao Cao didn't want to go on. Xi Zhi can understand Cao Cao's pain, Cao Cao takes the world as his own responsibility, but unfortunately, this kind of responsibility cannot bring great benefits to himself, on the contrary, it will bring them greater difficulties, such a situation is too difficult for them.

"Why don't I calm down and study it carefully, maybe it will be of great use in the future." Xi Zhicai said. Relying solely on Cao Cao could not get out of his current predicament, in fact, what he wanted to say was that if he wanted to accomplish such things, he would not be able to do such a situation at all. They also need their own military forces. Only in this way can we accomplish military growth to a greater extent.

"Hmm." Cao Cao nodded. He understood what Xi Zhicai meant, and it was difficult to develop and grow himself by relying solely on the Republican Army. Cao Cao's aim was to rely on military force to keep the court running, and Cao Cao had not yet thought of becoming a warlord himself. At this time, Cao Cao had not changed to a greater extent.

But the situation is that the prestige of the Son of Heaven is losing little by little. Yuan Shu is seeking Yangzhou, and many of the Liu clan members are increasing their power in the name of suppressing rebellions in various places, such as. Liu Yan et al. They all have the potential to degenerate into local warlords. This is a critical time for subtle changes in the local forces and the central forces, and this kind of change, simply put, means that the central government is losing its balance little by little and losing its control over the localities, and this result will be an extremely serious situation.

Xi Zhi can feel such a change, and now His Majesty the Emperor's physical condition is very bad, and the prince is still extremely young, if there are some accidents with relatives like Empress He and the general, what the result will be, it is simply unimaginable.

If such a thing happens, the consequences are really bad. If they want to change this situation, they have to change more places before they can proceed, otherwise it will cause them a bigger problem. That's where they need to pay attention at the moment. Accomplishing some of these situations requires them to make more choices before they can do some of these situations.

Cao Cao didn't know this, he was still worried about the imperial court.
