A threat finally subsided under the condition that Lu Peng kept opening a small golden finger, but another bigger storm began to brew, and that was the war between Liu Yu and Gongsun Zhan.

The contradiction between Liu Yu and Gongsun Chan has reached the limit of the outbreak Originally, the reason why Liu Yu did not dare to start a war against Gongsun Chan was because he was afraid of Lu Peng, no matter how Lu Peng and Gongsun Chan had contradictions, but after all, the relationship between the two of them was inexplicable, how could Liu Yu dare to rashly start a war against Gongsun Zhan? In case Lu Peng's tiger, with his elite soldiers in a hundred battles, suddenly stabbed him in the back when he was fighting to the death with Gongsun Zhan, then Liu Yu would not know how he died.

But now, according to the exact news, the method of dividing Lu Peng's troops that he discussed with Liu Bei at the beginning has worked.

The 10,000 army in Lu Peng's hands, while greedily snatching the four counties of western Liaoning, has also completely divided the troops, especially this time, Lu Peng simply took 4,000 troops and directly killed Changli County, which was thousands of miles away, which was equivalent to completely keeping Lu Peng away from the battlefield.

Thousands of miles apart, in the road traffic situation at that time, even if you come back to stir up the situation without sleep, you can't even think about it for a month, and if you gather soldiers from all over the world, you can't do it in half a year. Therefore, Liu Yu can rest assured that he can boldly attack Gongsun Chan this time, with the support of all the families in Youzhou, and under the leadership of Liu Guanzhang and the three fierce generals, he defeated Gongsun Zhan, Liu Yu has absolute certainty.

"When I came, Liu Yu had already contacted all the big families in Youzhou who supported him, and got their full support, not only obtained a large amount of money and food, but also gathered 100,000 armed families, known as 200,000, and transferred Liu Bei's three brothers back to lead the troops, and officially declared war on Gongsun Zhan." Xu Jie brought the current situation in Youzhou and reported to Lu Peng.

Lu Peng pinched his chin and said with a wicked smile: "Okay, okay, this war that has been brewing for a long time has finally started, and we are just fishing in troubled waters to make profits." ”

Mi Zhu frowned and said: "This time, both sides are holding back enough strength to fight, and it seems difficult for us to take advantage of it." ”

Lu Peng smiled and asked, "How can you see it?" ”

"Gongsun Zhan has no more than 50,000 soldiers, although he has been in a hundred battles, he has not won the support of the family, and the rear is not stable, and there is Yuan Shao behind him. Originally, Gongsun Chan wanted to marry Yuan Shao, and the two sides became allies to solve his worries, but because your kid gave him a kiss, the two of them not only did not form an alliance, but became enemies, so Gongsun Chan was already in the position of being attacked on his back. ”

"On the other hand, Liu Yu has the support of all the big families in Youzhou, and supports him to destroy Gongsun Zhan, who is becoming more and more domineering, so that Liu Yu now has countless money and food, and an army of 200,000, so that in the case of stability in the rear and sufficient soldiers, and with the assistance of the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang, Liu Yu will win."

Lu Peng was noncommittal, stood up, and said to Xu Jie: "Let's go to Mr. Tian Feng and ask him what he thinks." ”

So Lu Peng took Xu Jie to the north on a starry night and rushed to Yuyang.

Hearing that the lord was coming, Tian Feng took his men out of the city to greet him, Lu Peng laughed and entered the lobby of the Taishou Mansion with everyone to sit upright, and then put a batch of refreshments, Lu Peng and Xu Jie gobbled it up, while asking about the current situation in Yuyang, first understand their own situation and then study the enemy, this is the fundamental.

So Tian Feng began a brief report: "Yuyang has become a ruin since the last time a fire was completely burned, only the four city walls can be used, and other market streets have no use value, if it is rebuilt, it is just to clean up the ruins in the city, and the labor used is massive, therefore, according to the original calculation of the lord, I simply cleaned up Yuyang City, and then stationed General Zhang Yan's troops here, and built Yuyang into a pure military fortress." ”

Lu Peng nodded vaguely in agreement with the food in his mouth.

"And those displaced refugees, I am in the south of Yuyang, I opened up a new vacant land, re-planning, there to build a complete neighborhood and lanes, because Yuyang has settled down, and those who have lost the land of the original owner, according to our policy to resettle, so here is the revitalization of all industries, the situation is very good,."

"How many people can we have here now?" Lu Peng is still concerned about the issue of population, if you want to achieve great things, in this era, population is the most important.

Tian Feng said: "I have checked the remaining household registration of Yuyang, before the rebellion, Yuyang had a population of 450,000, after a war, there is no one in five, but after we, a series of policies have been introduced, after the recent careful statistics, now the population of our Yuyao has recovered to 200,000, and at the same time, the original stranded in Luxian Qingzhou and other places, because we also provide them with contracted land, and also began to implement cash-for-work, they naturally flow to the north, I think in the near future, Yuyang will be able to restore a population of 400,000. ”

"Since we opened up Quanzhou, Lu County and Qingzhou are directly bordered again, so every day there are hundreds of people pouring into the stable and prosperous Lu County, and as a result, Lu County is already overcrowded, if they start to migrate to Yuyang, it can also reduce the pressure on Lu County, and can enrich Yuyang, which is really a lot of money."

"Now that Yuyang has stabilized and has a population base, what is the action of Liu Bei's army that is blocking between our Yuyang and Youzhou Zhishu?"

"Liu Bei is guarding between us, firstly, to prevent us from advancing westward, and secondly, to block the flow of people from the west to us, but after he got the lord's large-scale eastward development, knowing that the lord's father had gone to Changli, and also engaged Gongsun Du, he left less than 3,000 soldiers, and the army has been ordered by the state pastor to return to Youzhou Zhisu to join Liu Yu, ready to do something to Gongsun Zan when you are entangled and involved by Gongsun Du."

Lu Peng smiled: "Liu Yu is really an urgent person, and he is quite accurate at this critical time, but unfortunately, he doesn't know that I have come back quietly." ”

At this time, Mi Zhu raised his concerns again, so he still opposed Lu Peng's hasty attack when Liu Gongsun was fighting against the army. After all, in his opinion, Liu Yu has 200,000, and Gongsun Chan can only rectify 30,000 in a hurry, and Gongsun Chan is bound to lose. And once Gongsun Chan is defeated, he will tear his face with Liu Yu, and then everyone will inevitably have another fight, which will destroy the good situation that is being built now.
