Liu Zhang asked, "What is the situation in Chang'an now?" ”

Xun Yu said: "Dong Zhuo sent a letter to Luoyang again last month, summoning Lu Bu back to Chang'an, and promising not to blame him for his past, but Lu Bu refused!" ”

Please note that Wang Yun's serial plan was used, but it was not completely successful, and the reason, of course, was deliberately caused by Liu Zhang.

Last year, Liu Zhang ordered someone to sneak into Chang'an secretly, and secretly revealed to Dong Zhuo that Wang Yun planned to punish Dong with a beauty. Dong Zhuo was furious when he learned about it and wanted to kill Wang Yun and Lu Bu. Wang Yun saw that the matter was defeated, so he persuaded Lu Bu to flee Chang'an, return the capital to Luoyang, and establish himself as the king, which is better than being a dog under the hands of others, watching Dong Zhuo's eyes and acting, and his life is in danger at any time. Lu Bu originally had the heart of hegemony and was greedy for beauty, so he relied on Wang Yun and took Emperor Xian out of Chang'an overnight and fled to Luoyang. Dong Zhuo was furious when he learned about it, and he wanted to raise troops to fight, but Ma Teng and Han Sui, who had just been pressed, raised troops again, and Dong Zhuo had to send troops to suppress it, so he couldn't spare his hand to crusade against Lu Bu.

Lu Bu is a brave man, and he has countless strong generals, but there is no one who is good at calculation, so he respects Wang Yun very much, and he can be said to be obedient to his words (of course, it is also indispensable for the merit of the beauty Diao Chan blowing the wind on the pillow). After Lü Bu fled to Luoyang, he sent troops to occupy Bishui, Mengjin and other places, and became a prince himself. Immediately forced Emperor Xian to make him a general, but fortunately, Wang Yun was still very loyal to the Han family, and he often persuaded Lu Bu, and Emperor Xian's situation was greatly improved.

Since Dong Zhuo was unable to be hard, he passed the letter to Lu Bu again and again, saying that although Lu Bu was his adopted son, he always regarded him as a parent, he missed Lu Bu very much, and hoped that Lu Bu would return to Chang'an, and he swore that he would never care about all Lu Bu's mistakes.

The letter can be said to be sincere, but Lu Bu knows Dong Zhuo too well, how can he fall into the net? He also knew that he was not Dong Zhuo's opponent, if it was not necessary, it was better not to tear his face, so he replied that the imperial capital was originally in Luoyang, and if the son returned to the capital today, his father-in-law, as the master of the Han Dynasty, should go to Luoyang to serve the emperor and assist the emperor in governing the world!

A big one and one small have a big war of words with ill intentions, and the letters are endless, so it is consumed, and Lu Bu also asks Emperor Xian to write edicts from time to time to disgust Dong Zhuo......

Lü Bu and Dong Zhuo in the letter competition, while ordering people to cross the Yellow River, Hanoi Taishou Zhang Yang and Lü Bu out of the Ding Yuan in the early years, deep feelings, heard that Lü Bu rescued the drive back to the capital, then the county was merged into Lü Bu's army, Lü Bu was overjoyed, please seal Zhang Yang as the general of Anguo, the Marquis of Jinyang. Subsequently, Lü Bu ordered Song Xian and Zhang Yang to join forces and attack Bingzhou.

When Yuan Shao's nephew Gao Gan first led the annexation of the state, the foothold was not stable, and Lü Bu and his subordinate soldiers and horses were originally the merger of the state army, because of the resistance to Xianbei and the prestige of the state, plus the order of the emperor was still very deterrent to the local petty officials at this time, so many counties and counties surrendered without a fight to welcome Lü Bu's army into the city. Lü Bu's army was on a fierce offensive, and in two months, half of the state was defeated, and the senior cadres were defeated again and again, and were even driven out of Huguan, and had to ask Yuan Shao for help. Yuan Shao was busy cleaning up Gongsun Zhan, so he ordered Yan Liang to be the commander and Fu Zhi to be the military advisor, and led 30,000 soldiers to rescue.

The two sides were at a stalemate in the Huguan area, Lu Bu took the opportunity to summon a group of soldiers, horses and money and grain in Bingzhou, and Lu Bu jumped into a prince across Bingzhou and Luoyi, but his situation was not good, surrounded by enemies, and all of them were not incompetent, and it depended on the will of heaven that he could get there.

However, Lü Bu also left himself a big trouble, when Lü Bu expelled Gao Gan from the state, he did not return to the division to attack north, and cleared all the strongholds of Yuan Shao in the state, so he left Yuan Shao with Yanmen and other counties in the north of the state, although the garrison is not much, it is difficult to pose much threat to Lü Bu for the time being, but with time to slowly recruit soldiers and horses, develop and grow, it will inevitably threaten Taiyuan and other places. This is not that Lu Bu is short-sighted and does not want to continue the attack, but although Gao Gan was driven out of Huguan, he was thinking about counterattacking all the time, and with the humiliation of Xue being expelled, he restrained the main force of Lu Bu's army, and Lu Bu learned that Yuan Shao had ordered Yan Liang to be the commander and Fu Zhi as the military advisor, and led the troops to help, in this case, he naturally did not dare to divide his troops to capture Yanmen and other places.

Liu Zhang secretly thought: "Dong Zhuo, if you die, your gang of subordinates will lose their restraint, and no one will obey each other, catch and tear each other all day long, and it is the people of Guanzhong who will suffer in the end, I will make the capital Chang'an in the future, if they let Chang'an and Luoyang be the same, ten rooms and nine emptiness, and white bones everywhere, can it still be used as the capital?" I saved your life, you have to take care of the pass and save as many people as possible! Alas, if my strength is sufficient, I don't want you to die early, as soon as you die, the Xiliang army will be in chaos, the more chaotic the better, I can take the opportunity to cross the Qinling Mountains and occupy Guanzhong! It's a pity, Guanzhong is suitable for cavalry combat, but now what I lack the most is cavalry, once my infantry steps into the Guanzhong Plain, it will really become a dish in front of your Xiliang cavalry! Hold on, Dong Zhuo, wait for me to develop for another two years......"

Liu Zhang said: "There will be no way to distinguish the winner from the two 'father and son' in the war of words for a while, so don't care about them." ”

Xun Yu nodded, and said: "Hanzhong Taishou Wei Yan reported, because of Dong Zhuo's troubles in Guanzhong, the people of Guanzhong had no way to make a living, and they fled into Hanzhong, and the number continued to rise, according to statistics, more than 14,000 people helped the old and the young to enter Hanzhong in January last month, and then the people who fled in the past, Hanzhong has sheltered more than 197,000 people. Among them, more than 80,000 people missed the time of farming when they entered Hanzhong, and their food and clothing all depended on the government's help, although Chengdu has been shipping grain to Hanzhong, but it is beyond their means, and now the inventory of grain in Hanzhong has been reduced to less than seventy! Wei Yan judged that if calculated according to the scale of the current influx of people, Hanzhong's grain storage may not be able to last until the autumn harvest of new grain into storage, and if it continues to accommodate refugees, a large number of refugees may compete with the local people for profit, which will worsen the public order in Hanzhong, so he asked for instructions on whether to refuse the influx of refugees? ”

"No, tell Wei Yan that the people must be unconditionally and indiscriminately contained, this is an iron law, and there must be no discount! I will find a way to solve the food problem! In this way, tell Wei Yan that if the government does not have enough grain, you can open a few military warehouses to relieve the people! ”

Guo Jiadao: "My lord, the military warehouse is the military supply for attacking Guanzhong in the future, if the loss is too large, there may be a shortage of food in the future attack on Guanzhong!" "Since Liu Zhang recovered Hanzhong, Liu Zhang didn't want to make the mistake of Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition - retreating when the grain ran out, he ordered to keep storing grain in Hanzhong, at least enough for 100,000 troops to eat for a year, and the standard of 100,000 troops per person per day is two catties! And there is only a lower limit for the grain storage, and there is no upper limit, so the single grain ship transporting grain goes back and forth between the hinterland of Yizhou and Hanzhong every day, which is not lively.

Liu Zhang said: "I can't care so much now, I can't watch innocent people die of hunger and cold!" The counterattack is not an overnight thing, solve the problems of the people first, and the military tun can take a slow step! ”

Guo Jia bowed and said: "The lord is really a benevolent monarch, and his subordinates admire it!" ”

Liu Zhang shook his head and said, "It's not my benevolence, since we are Han officials, it is our unshirkable responsibility to protect the people under our rule to live and work in peace and contentment." The people of Guanzhong are already miserable, they have left their hometowns for thousands of miles to come to Hanzhong, if we ignore them, how can they live? If you want the Han Kingdom to drive safely and smoothly in the water, you can't let the river have too many waves, you need the people of the Han Dynasty to carry it willingly, otherwise it will be the end of the boat overturning! ”

Full pet clapped his hands and said: "A good sentence that water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn a boat, wonderful, wonderful!" ”

Xi Zhicai said: "But the long poverty is difficult to take care of, according to the current situation, there may be more than 20,000 people pouring in this month, and after the autumn harvest, the number of refugees may reach about 250,000, even if the military food in Hanzhong insists until the autumn, but after the autumn harvest, the harvest is a few months later, the number of refugees during this period continues to grow, and there will still be a huge shortage of food!" ”

Liu Zhang nodded and said: "There are tens of thousands of households in Hanzhong, and now there are 200,000 people, and the people and land have become balanced. In this way, from the month of the order, all refugees will be sent to the hinterland of Yizhou and distributed to the South Middle School! ”

Xun Yu said: "This is very good, Yizhou is rich in products, the government treasury is sufficient, once the refugees enter the hinterland of Yizhou, it is very convenient to provide relief, and it can reduce the difficulty of long-distance transportation of food!" The land of the barbarians is vast and sparsely populated, and with the addition of a large number of Han people, it can not only speed up the pace of assimilation of the barbarians, but also prosper the local economy as soon as possible...... In order to attract refugees to live and reclaim in the land of barbarians, is there a certain policy introduced? ”

Liu Zhang said: "That's necessary, so that each refugee can get ten acres of wasteland to cultivate, and the government will provide grain, farming tools, and food until the first harvest, and the five families can get a ploughing ox to help with farming, and the government will not collect taxes for three years." Three years later, the land was transferred to the personal property of the people, and the government collected a tax at the rate of 20 taxes and 1 tax. ”

Xun Yu said: "Lord, is this matter of ploughing cattle a long-term plan?" I'm afraid there is no way to meet the number of cattle in Yizhou! ”

Liu Zhang said: "The people will not pour in at once, the cattle can be purchased slowly, if Yizhou is insufficient, they will be purchased from Jingzhou and Dong Zhuo." Ploughing cattle are no better than war horses, I believe Dong Zhuo will not refuse! ”

"Yes!" Xun Yu said.

Liu Zhang said: "Tell everyone in Yizhou that the people of the world are one family, and the refugees are also our family, and we can't control other places, but the refugees who enter Yizhou must not see them being bullied, nor can they starve to death, otherwise the responsible person will be severely punished!" ”

Everyone said yes.
