With Han Sui's escape, the capture of Yuzhong also means that Xiliang completely fell into the hands of Ye Zhao, Ye Zhao's governance from this moment, from the south to the south of Yunnan, north to Zhangye, through the north and south, the north and south are more than 3,000 miles, even if it is the latest development of the flying boat, to fly from Zhangye to Yunnan, it will take a month!

"Well done!" When Ye Zhao got the information, it was already February, and the earth had begun to warm up, and there was already a faint amount of greenery between the mountains and forests.

The subjugation of Xiliang not only represents the expansion of Ye Zhao's land, and there will be no worries after that, but also represents the Silk Road, which will be completely in the hands of Ye Zhao, and the wealth that this road can bring, Ye Zhao is very clear, especially now that the technology of the flying boat is very mature, it is similar to the airship in the earliest period, there are human propellers that can accelerate and control the direction of the flying boat, and can withstand long-distance flight.

The appearance of the flying boat means that Ye Zhao's caravan can fly farther away to trade, and can even establish diplomatic relations with Kushan and Anxi, and communicate with each other, and Ye Zhao is the absolute master, the profits brought by this can also promote the development of species, so that the Han can grow more crops, which plays an extremely important role in people's livelihood or the wheel of the entire history.

"My lord." Xi Zhicai looked at Ye Zhao with a smile and gestured towards Ma Chao.

"Meng Qi is not strange, he is a little out of shape." Ye Zhao smiled and asked Ma Chao to take a seat.

"Not to blame." Ma Chao is also upright, Ye Zhao was just polite, but he directly said that he was not to blame, which made everyone in the hall a little unhappy.

Dian Wei glanced at Ma Chao and snorted.

Ye Zhao was also stunned, after all, he was used to the social way of the Central Plains, although he had been trying to break the circle of scholars, but there was a saying...... When you stare into the abyss, the abyss is also staring at you, in the words of this era, that is, those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black.

Ye Zhao is planning to break this circle, but at the same time, he is constantly contacting and understanding this circle, plus his predecessor was originally taught by Confucianism, these are bright or dark, and the etiquette of taking off his pants and farting is also imperceptibly integrated into his bones, not to mention him, it is a big old man like Dian Wei, who has been by Ye Zhao's side for a long time, these things can also understand, what words can be answered, what words can not be answered, and now there is such a stunned young man suddenly, this straightforward way of speaking makes Ye Zhao a little novel and a little funny.

Ma Chao was uncomfortable being stared at by a group of people, and frowned and glanced at these people.

Ye Zhao smiled, nodded and said, "Why did Wen Wei let you come here, I must have already said it." ”

"The last general knows that this time I came to fight those Xianbei people for the Lord." Speaking of fighting, Ma Chao's expression was obviously a little different, and he bowed to Ye Zhao and said, "I don't know when the lord wants to use the army?" The last general is willing to be the vanguard. ”

When Ye Zhao heard this, he smiled even more happily, looked at Xi Zhicai and said, "Looking at Meng Qi, it reminds me of an old man, who was so young and enthusiastic back then." ”

"Lu Bu?" Dian Wei looked at Ma Chao and subconsciously blurted out, demeanor and temperament, Ma Chao is indeed somewhat similar to Lu Bu.

Although Ma Chao has been in Xiliang for a long time and has never set foot in the Central Plains, he has also heard of Lu Bu's name, after the first battle of Tiger Prison Pass, Lu Bu faintly has the title of the world's first fierce general, and he can't help but feel a little proud in his heart, and subconsciously straightens his chest.

"But this doll has to be Lu Bu's five things, and it's quite good." Dian Wei touched the stiff stubble on his chin and said.

As soon as Ma Chao heard it, he immediately exploded, he went to the battlefield at the age of twelve, over the years, across the Xiliang, whether it was the Qiang or the Han people, there was no one who was together, even if Han Sui was so good at Yan Xing back then, now he was not stoned to death by his three shots, saying that he was not as good as Lu Bu, he may not be convinced, after all, Lu Bu became famous more than ten years ago, Lu Bu was at his peak, and now more than ten years have passed, Lu Bu is almost forty years old, at this age, most of the generals' bodies have begun to slip from the peak, although Ma Chao has not yet reached the peak, But it's not even half of Lu Bu's, right?

It is necessary to know that between the generals, don't say fifty percent, twenty percent is the gap in the realm, how can Ma Chao be convinced, and he immediately patted himself and said: "What this general said is too underestimated." ”

"Huh?" Dian Wei looked Ma Chao up and down, and suddenly smiled: "What's the matter, don't accept it?" ”

When Ma Chao heard this, he snorted coldly and didn't speak, but his expression already said everything.

"Lord, this truce has been going on for some days, and the last general wants to have a conversation with this Ma Chao." Dian Wei hugged his fist at Ye Zhao.

"Swords and guns have no eyes, don't hurt the harmony, if you want to compare, see who kills more enemies in the future." Ye Zhao shook his head, Ma Chao just came, he started with others, somewhat of a bit of a horse, even if Ye Zhao wanted to set up this authority, he was not prepared to use such a rough method.

"Lord!" Ma Chao arched his hand at Ye Zhaoyi and said: "When the last general was in Xiliang, I heard that the fierce generals under the lord's command were like clouds, and my heart longed for it. ”

"Go ahead, in the yard, and make a few moves." Ye Zhao waved his hand and motioned for the two of them to go to the yard to compete, how can this Ma Chao's temperament blow up at all, Dian Wei can arouse him, Lu Bu will at least have some ideas, Ma Chao directly saved all the ideas, let Dian Wei suppress his arrogance, otherwise this will not work.

"Whoa!" Dian Wei and Ma Chao were overjoyed when they heard this, glared at each other, and walked out the door.

Ye Zhao doesn't know how Ma Chao's martial arts are at the moment, but he is not interested in seeing it, Dian Wei will help him weigh it, twenty-five-year-old Ma Chao, martial arts may have reached the top level, but judging from the character that Ma Chao is showing now, Ye Zhao is not optimistic about him, after all, Dian Wei is already an old fritter, he has fought with Lu Bu, Guan Yu, and Zhao Yun, and he does not lack the experience of top generals, and Ma Chao, even if he has this level, he has been fighting with some weak chickens in Xiliang all the year round, and his experience is much worse, at least now, He is not Dian Wei's opponent yet, so it is good for Dian Wei to frustrate his spirit, and the province makes him think that this Central Plains is the same as Xiliang.

"Leave them alone and continue with the conversation." Listening to the clanging sound outside, Ye Zhao beckoned to Xi Zhicai and a few other staff members: "Qiu Chi has already established the Alliance Fang City in Wuquan, but a few tribes have rebelled, refused to accept it, and even plundered the property of these tribal alliances, telling Guan Yu that these tribes have no need to exist, and to eliminate them, Liwei, and let these tribes who accept our conditions know that we are their backers." ”

"Now there are only a few tribes, and the cattle, sheep and horses that can be provided are limited, and after the beginning of spring, these tribes can be encouraged to use their connections on the grassland to attract more tribes to join, and form a three-legged situation on the grassland again."

"Lord, although Fang City has been built, it is still in the investment stage, and the horse dealers in Bingzhou have their own purchase channels, and they are not willing to cooperate with our army, and some people have moved their families east to Jizhou or Youzhou." One of the staff members bowed down and said, "It is recommended that these vendors be permanently denied participation." ”

"Words of Will." Ye Zhao shook his head: "The connections in their hands are what we need, how can we permanently shut out these talents because of their temporary departure?" To do big things, look farther. ”

"It's just that if you don't deal with these people, more vendors will follow suit."

"Merchants make profits, they will come back when they find business opportunities in the future, don't worry about this, now the scale of Wuquanfang City is not large, the traders in the land of Yongshu are enough to digest the output of this Fang City, they are unwilling to come, this first bite of meat will not be their turn to eat, in addition, the Silk Road has been opened, this side of the Fang Market can be directly connected with Zhangye, and the goods from the Western Regions will be sold into the grassland, only these, even if the traders in the state are all gone, our economic context is enough to run on its own, and when they turn around, even if we don't stop it, There is no such preferential policy support now. Ye Zhao said with a smile.

"Also, what about the current state demographics?"

"The statistics have been completed, and now the population of Bingzhou is bounded by Luliang Mountain, and the population is gradually increasing in the south, and the population in the north is sparse, like Wuquan and the land of goodness, and the proportion of Han people is seriously insufficient, and the population of the entire Bingzhou is about 230,000 households, and the population is about 800,000." A staff member in charge of population counting bowed.

In the land of a state, the population is not even as good as a large county in the Central Plains, no wonder Yuan Shao did not react much when he lost the state, and it is estimated that he is not eye-catching.

"Spring ploughing has arrived, and there are not many fields cultivated in the state, so the promotion of manure should be stepped up, and I hope that it can be completely set next year." Ye Zhao groaned.

"Don't worry, the lord has been promoting it since last year."

With the previous experience in Chang'an, the officials brought this time are already very proficient in promoting these new things.

Everyone discussed the future direction of the state again, and after Ye Zhao solved it one by one, he was about to disperse, but he saw Ma Chao walking in step by step with the support of Dian Wei, and his handsome face was blue and purple, and it was swollen a lot, and he couldn't see the reason at all.

Dian Wei's eyes are dark, but people are indifferent.

"So fast?" Ye Zhao looked at Ma Chao, who had even lost his weapon, and said with a smile.

"This kid has some skills." Dian Wei smiled at Ye Zhao and said, "But although the kung fu is good, the foot combat is not good." ”

Ye Zhao glared at Dian Wei, foot battle? As Ye Zhao's personal guard, since the Dan rhino has been in the cavalry battle, it has made up for the shortcomings of Dian Wei's cavalry battle, but it can only be said to be good, but if you talk about foot combat, looking at Ye Zhao's command, even if Guan Yu and Zhao Yun get off the horse, they are not opponents at the point, and they use foot combat to fight with Ma Chao, that is to say, they are not familiar with bullying Ma Chao, but they can be praised by Dian Wei, it seems that Ma Chao at this time already has some ability.

"Meng Qi has been tired all the way, let's go rest first, and then set up a banquet for you tomorrow." Ye Zhao looked at Ma Chao and said with a smile: "Let the military medicine craftsman take a look later." ”

"Thank you, lord!" Ma Chao is obviously a lot more well-behaved than before at this moment, not so sharp, and his spirit is also a lot more decadent, obviously Dian Wei gave him a lot of impact, after finishing speaking, he turned around and followed Jia Ding away.

"How?" After watching Ma Chao leave, Ye Zhao looked at Dian Wei.

"The ability is not bad, but if you say that it is a few years earlier than Lu Bu, I am afraid it is still a few years earlier." Dian Wei shook his head and said, he had fought with Lu Bu, so he naturally could better understand the gap between the two sides.

"No one compares him to Lu Bu." Ye Zhao got up and said, "Let's go, let's go eat." ”
