Chapter 169 Revitalizing Chang'an and Discussing the Expedition to the North

Since two years ago, Liu Shi intercepted Yuan Shu by the will of the Son of Heaven, beheaded several generals of Yuan Shu, and drove Yuan Shu across the Huai River. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info originally wanted to take the opportunity to suppress Yuan Shu, first, his strength was not enough, he could defeat Yuan Shu, and he relied on a light cavalry assault to catch them off guard, if he thought that Yuan Shu was too crazy because of this.

Second, it is necessary to cross the Huai River here, and a large number of ferries are needed to find it there for a while.

Sanmo himself is also a little selfish, and the conquest of Yuan Shu was Cao Cao's business, and he was just guarding Yong, Liang, and Sanzhou. Once Cao Cao backhanded and Yuan Shu sandwiched him, there was also a Lu Bu and Liu Biao next to him, and even if he and his eldest brother were combined, he might not be able to resist.

And leaving a crippled Yuan Shu can still add a little chaos to Cao Cao. It's good for you.

However, if you come to a game, you won't take any benefits, and it is not in line with Liu Shi's character, and it was decided before you came that you would not let go of the captured Yuan soldiers, and all of them were sent to Chang'an Tuntian, who said that Chang'an and Nanyang are extremely short of people now?

After driving Yuan Shu back to Huainan, he returned to Nanyang with tens of thousands of captives, and then transferred to Chang'an.

As for the Son of Heaven, the head of the culprit who killed King Chen, along with some of King Chen's daily precious supplies and some belongings, has been sent to Xudu, and I think the Son of Heaven should be satisfied. In recent years, I have not been in Nanyang, and I heard that Master Hua Tuo is here, and Master Zheng is here, so I naturally can't help but visit. And he already has the intention to move Zheng Shi and Huashi to Chang'an, this Nanyang is the place of four wars, although there are some passes to defend, but compared with Chang'an, it is much worse.

Since the recovery of Chang'an, Taiyuan, Shangdang, Yanmen, and Hedong, which are now part of Yongzhou, Liu Shi deliberately focused on Chang'an.

This Chang'an is now lacking in popularity, even if hundreds of thousands of people in Nanyang are relocated, there are only about 300,000 people in the entire three counties of Chang'an, plus Hedong and Bingzhou, 600,000 is still not enough.

Nanyang has been relocated through this, and the population of Nanyang has become almost the same as when it first took over, but the terrain of Chang'an is good, and it is dangerous on all sides, as long as it is properly managed, the population is sufficient, and the fertile land in Guanzhong, plus Hedong, Taiyuan, and Shangdang are all large grain-producing counties, and within a few years, it will be able to dominate Kanto.

Therefore, Liu Shi asked the army to return to Chang'an, and he only brought some personal guards to visit his junior brother and visit Zheng Shi and Hua Shi.

Liu Shi said what he meant, this Hua Tuo and Zheng Xuan are both understanding people, and now the Han Dynasty is declining and the emperor is sluggish, which is very similar to Qin losing his deer, and everyone chases him. Now, although Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Cao Cao was not at ease.

It's just that it's much better looking and softer than Dong Table, Li, and Guo. But its essence is the same, the dynasty is autocratic, supports the army and respects himself, and the Son of Heaven is just a puppet. The princes refused to accept each other and fought against each other. This situation will not be settled in a short period of time. In Zheng Xuan's words, it was the catastrophe that came, and Liu Shi was also the one who should be robbed, so it was naturally difficult to escape.

Now that they have the dangerous land in Guanzhong, they will naturally manage it with their hearts, and this Guanzhong is the blessed land of Gaozu in the world, so the two of them don't need to say much, they will do their best.

Zheng Xuan and Hua Tuo went to Chang'an and set up another academy and medical hall in Chang'an, training a large number of scholars and medical craftsmen for Liu Shi. And Liu Shi also respected the two masters very much, and arranged them to build a academy and a medical hall on the opposite side of his own mansion, on the site of the Dinghu Palace during the former Emperor Wu. He also built another small courtyard next to his own courtyard, and set up several soup pools in it for the two of them to bathe when they were pan. This Hua Tuo was shocked when he saw it, and he was shocked by the divine water, saying that he often bathed in this soup, which can dispel illness and lighten his body. In particular, it has a significant effect on itchy skin and poisonous sores.

I simply moved here with Zheng Xuan, so that I could bathe every day.

This soup was said by the Chinese divine doctor, and soon spread to all parts of the Han Dynasty, some scholars, families, and wealthy families came to bathe, and there were many people who came, and Liu Shi had to open some soup houses for these people to bathe, of course, money is indispensable.

Some families and wealthy families came a few times, and saw that Guanzhong was good and there was no war, so they stayed and bought land.

When these people came, they brought with them many domestic servants and neighbors. Gradually, Chang'an City became prosperous, but tens of thousands of people were added in just a few years, which Liu Shi did not expect. After Liu Shi placed Zheng Xuan and Hua Tuo, he discussed with a group of generals and strategists to pacify Liangzhou.

Originally, Liu Shi took advantage of the Xiongnu's inattention and swept the Xiongnu and Wuheng in Taiyuan and Yanmen with a large army, and held the Yanmen fortress. The Xiongnu and Wuheng also wanted to regain the lost land, but they were defeated by Liu Shi in several attacks.

After pacifying Taiyuan and Yanmen, Liu Shi originally wanted to take advantage of the situation to take Liangzhou.

This Liangzhou Han Sui, Ma Teng and others have repeatedly plundered Guanzhong, and their existence is a danger to Guanzhong.

However, it was a step late, Yanmen was not peaceful, this Cao Cao settled in Luoyang, participated in Han Xian's book, and scared Han Xian to escape from Luoyang, and then Cao Cao recognized himself as a lieutenant of Si Li, Lu Shangshu, and served as a group of county guards of Taiyuan, Shangdang, and Yanmen in the state, and also sent people to Liangzhou, Ren Wei Duan was the assassin of Liangzhou, Ma Teng was the Tinghou and the general of Zhengxi, and Han Sui was the Tinghou and the general of Zhenxi, threatening Ma Teng and Han Sui, if you don't obey the will of the court, wait for Liu Shi's iron hooves!

This Han Sui and Ma Teng originally had scruples about Liu Shi, and the death of the kingdom made Han Sui remember it deeply, and Ma Teng's defeat also made Ma Teng dare not move lightly. In their hearts, they have always been worried that Liu Shi will take the opportunity to kill them together. You must know that after years of conquest, the strength of Liangzhou today is not as good as before, and the number of troops that can be gathered is only 50,000 or 60,000.

Han Sui and Ma Teng were already at odds, suspicious of each other, and wary of each other. It is often said that one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, and I am afraid that if I am careless for a while, I will be eaten by the other party. At this time, Cao Cao sent a letter of appointment in the name of the court, and also sent a thorn history that everyone could accept.

The two also let go of their suspicions, defended Liangzhou together, and under the witness of Wei Duan, the two became brothers.

Liu Shi saw it, he had to let go of Liangzhou, of course, Cao Cao sent to Taiyuan, Shangdang, Yanmen Taishou was naturally rejected by Liu Shi, the above statement made it clear that now several counties and counties are guarding their duties, and there is no fault, and they cannot be replaced, Cao Cao has no choice but to do nothing!

However, this Han Sui and Ma Teng are really not worry-free guys, Liu Shi led a brigade of light cavalry to Yuzhou, and Han Sui and Ma Teng connived at those Qiang wealthy clans to plunder some Hu and Han people who had just settled down in the northern land and settled in the two counties.

Peng Tuo had conquered several times, the effect was not good, these people came and went like the wind, and when they saw the Yongzhou army coming, they fled to Shuofang and Jiuyuan, and sometimes retreated directly to Liangzhou.

Peng Tuo was not strong enough troops, and Liu Shi was not in Yongzhou, so he had to take a defensive position and garrison troops in the Gaoping area, but the effect was not good.

When Liu Shi returned to Chang'an, he heard about it, and gathered the generals to discuss the matter.

Although Xun You has just arrived in Chang'an, he is no stranger to Northland, Anding and even Liangzhou.

Xun You said: "If you want to be stable and calm in the north, you must deter Liangzhou and seize Fuping and Lian County. ”

Liu Shi looked at Peng Tuo.

Peng Tuo said: "What the military advisor said is reasonable, this northern land and stability were included in Yongzhou, Han Sui, Ma Teng and others are really not convinced. However, due to the prestige of the lord, coupled with the fact that in recent years, the situation in Liangzhou has not been good, with successive military disasters, dilapidated families, and a sharp decrease in the number of soldiers. Han Sui and the others did not dare to blatantly provoke the lord, so they had to secretly connive at some Hu people to come and plunder.

These people include Shuofang people, even Wuyuan people, and more Liangzhou Hu people. The number of people who come each time is not much, but they come and go like the wind, and I heard that now the Xiongnu and Wuheng are also interested in joining in. In this way, it is a great threat to the Northlands. ”

Liu Shi nodded and decided to recapture Fuping, but he had to warn Han Sui and Ma Teng first.
