"The lord should not underestimate these places, they are useless in the hands of others, but in Xu Ding's hands they are full of treasures, he can have today's strength, can afford a huge army, can run medical care and schools for free, can provide free houses, food and various tools for the people who have moved out, can appease these immigrants, may rely on these overseas places." Yan Xiang didn't care how ugly Yuan Shu's face was, and continued to analyze and explain:

"For example, the land of the South China Sea, in fact, is the same as Jiaozhou, it belongs to the hot zone, I heard that there can grow two crops of rice a year, I think Xu Ding's large amount of grain comes from Jiaozhou and the South China Sea."

Food is the basic, the foundation of everything in this age.

Whoever masters the grain will master the soldiers and horses, and if there are soldiers and horses, he will be the king of grass, and he will be able to fight the world.

Xu Ding is now not only rich in food, but also able to provide relief to the affected states and counties, and it is foreseeable that this grain is definitely not produced by his Pingzhou and Qingzhou.

Yuan Shu was silent and did not speak, and then Yan Xiang said: "In order to see Wa Island, although it is far away from our big Han, but the others are not small, and there are islands all around, the fishing industry must be developed, Xu Ding is the best boat, so that the people of the Han Dynasty must have Xu Ding fishing for a living, and can fish in a large range and unlimited degrees, so that they can quickly accumulate wealth."

Of course, such a vast land under its control must be rich in mineral deposits, and it is impossible to say that there are gold, silver, copper, and iron mines anywhere.

In this way, his coffers are abundant, and it is not surprising that he has a lot of money to spend. ”

Everyone in the world knows that Xu Ding has money, and all kinds of policies are burning money, and a large number of new coins have been minted.

It can't be sustained without huge mineral deposits.

After listening to this, Yuan Shu, who had always thought that he was extremely wealthy, suddenly felt that he had fallen into a slum all of a sudden.

Xu Ding is the real rich man, I have the largest county in the world, and it's not more than Erer.

Although Yuan Shu didn't like Yan Xiang's direct criticism of him mercilessly, he knew that Yan Xiang was a talented person, and what he said would definitely not be wrong.

So I thought about it for a while before I said, "Then what should I do in your opinion, won't I save Yaoqing?" Do you just let Xu Ding's men and horses run rampant in my Yuzhou realm? ”

Yan Xiang dared to face Yuan Shu head-on, but he didn't deny it, he was not good at coming up with ideas, and he was okay with government affairs, but he wouldn't be very good at acting as a strategist and making some plans or something.

So Yang Hong on the side said: "The lord must be saved, but we can't act in a hurry, the soldiers are running back and forth, and they are exhausted after fighting for several months, and they need to go south slowly."

At the same time, to avoid falling for Zhao Yun's strategy of luring the enemy, the army cannot be separated. ”

"Hmmm! Yes, as you see fit. Yuan Shu was originally anxious, and he was still a little uncomfortable when he suddenly slowed him down.

Then Yang Hong said: "As for the map, I think the lord should make plans in advance, if nothing happens, there will soon be some families going to Xu Ding, there will be many people to inquire about things in the West, and those children of the families who are not welcomed will probably be lost to Qingzhou and Pingzhou, and even some families may have other different ......."

The world is too big, big enough to be tempting.

All the way to the west, there is such a vast and rich land, and there are so many kingdoms in the world.

It's hard to think about it.

In the past, everyone fought in the Central Plains because they felt that the Central Plains was the center of the world, and people naturally wanted to be in the heart of the world, which was determined by human tendency.

Now the Central Plains of the world is actually not in the Central Plains, or even in the Han Dynasty, and the worldview of a group of people has been directly impacted.

In the past, the territory was only so big, so the Han people were fond of fighting, and they were fighting for this small place, and their eyes were always limited here.

Now that I open my eyes to the world, my eyes are suddenly attracted by the outside world, will I only focus on this small part of Dahan?

I think as long as you are still bloody, not the kind of stubborn conservative, your heart will be rippling, and you will have ripples.

"Humph! I don't think anyone who dares doesn't want to live anymore, and I don't want to think about what Xu Ding's ultimate goal is? He's going to kill everybody, and take everybody's benefits. Yuan Shu snorted coldly, in fact, he was originally from a family, and he knew very well what the family was like, but he needed a resolute attitude.

Otherwise, more people will centrifuge, and Yuzhou will be completely finished.

Soon Yuan Shu's army of 50,000, no, Yuan Shu transferred Zhang Xun and other troops to the south.

Zhang Xun can be a handsome, and now there are a few generals in Yuan Shu's hands who can command the army, so Yuan Shu transferred Zhang Xun to lead the army.

To deal with Zhao Yun and other cavalry, you need someone who is more familiar with the art of war.

Zhang Xun was the commander and commanded the army to go south along the Yingshui, and finally settled in Ruyin City.

Based on this, the army was then divided into five divisions, one of which was 10,000, and the five roads were connected to the east to form a diamond-shaped array that could rely on each other.

Zhang Xun's deployment of troops was good, but when he pressed to the water, Zhao Yunbu crossed the river to the east bank with all of them, and patrolled back and forth on the east bank.

Wang Xiu saw that Yuan Jian was very resolute, and there were many soldiers and horses, and Longkeng City was reinforced.

He didn't bring siege equipment with him, so he took the first lieutenant army, and the fourth lieutenant army went south to fight Chen Yu, who echoed Yuan Lian.

Wang Xiu first attacked the water at night and killed Chen Yuduwei Wanyan.

Then attacked Hongxian, Guan Yu beheaded Chen Yu's general Chen Mu, and then captured the city and captured Chen Yu alive, disarming the friendly troops south of Yuan Jian in one fell swoop.

Zhang Xun advanced the army to Shuishui, but the other bank was watched by Zhao Yunbu and never crossed the river, so he sent a secret envoy to contact Yuan Lian.

Yuan Jian knew that Chen Yu would be difficult to stay with Wang Xiu for a long time, so he broke the cauldron and sunk the boat, taking advantage of the absence of the first captain and the fifth captain, the army ran out of the city to the water and shot the pontoon bridge with Zhang Xun on both sides of the strait at the same time.

Zhao Yun led the army to rush and kill, Yuan Lian's army was scattered, killed, trampled and broke 30,000 horses, 20,000 horses crossed the river, and the rest did not know what to do.

When Wang Xiu, Guan Yu and others came back, Yuan Jian successfully crossed the water.

Then Wang Xiu announced the end of the battle, led the army to return east, and Zhao Yun and Guan Yu moved the people on the east bank of the Suishui River, taking the entire Peiguo and a small number of people from Runan County with them.

More than ten days later, the army withdrew, and Zhang Xun and Yuan Lian, who were in Hexi, finally breathed a sigh of relief and went back to return to Yuan Shu.

Since then, the absurd alliance raid has finally come to an end.

The eyes of the people of the world began to refocus on the third newspaper given by Xu Ding.

The discussion of the world, and the exploration began.

People continue to go to Qingzhou, go to Donglai Academy, and even those rarely born famous hermits also go to Qingzhou to personally ask Zheng Xuan and Cai Yong about the map.

Of course, there is another thing that has officially entered the ears of the major princes, Dong Zhuo is dead.

The murderer Xu Ding's subordinates are envious.

Dong Zhuo was assassinated on the spot and died, the Xiliang Army broke down, and Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Niu Fu and Dong Yue fought for the command of the Xiliang Army, and did not hesitate to start a war in Guanzhong for this purpose.

Li Ru couldn't block the news because of this, and the news of Guanzhong, Chang'an, and Liangzhou drifted to the land of Kanto like snowflakes, attracting the attention of countless people for a while.
