Chapter 267: A New Beginning

"Father-in-law, after Huo Yu occupied Youzhou and Ji Prefecture, the situation of one family dominance has been formed! Because Yuan Shao was renamed Yuzhou pastor again! Li Ru offered his advice again. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Hearing Li Ru's words, Dong Zhuo frowned and said nothing. Yuan Shao was hated by Dong Zhuo, and seeing Yuan Shao deflated, Dong Zhuo was naturally willing, but how to explain that he was going to be named Yuzhou Mu this time?

"Father-in-law, the princes of Kannai are constantly fighting, and it is a good time to further weaken their power! Now Cao Cao basically took Yanzhou, Yuan Shu attacked Yuzhou but was jointly resisted by Kong Ling and Liu Biao, at this time Yuan Shao attacked Yuzhou..."Li Ru is not saying much here, Dong Zhuo has been fighting all year round, of course, he can see the relationship between this.

"Our family naturally knows what Wen Wei said, but our family is not happy!" Dong Zhuo said with a little anger.

"Father-in-law, those who achieve great things are not informal! Huo Yu is now the dominant family, if Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu have a little strength, they will inevitably join forces to deal with Huo Yu. Once the fight starts, the Central Plains will inevitably fall into the flames of war, and the father-in-law will take the opportunity to recuperate, and then the world will be determined by a war! Li Ru continued to persuade.

After being silent for a while again, Dong Zhuo agreed, as long as the Kwantung princes didn't come to trouble him! Besides, it is also the best policy to let it have internal friction, and one day he will be able to win the honor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan by waving his troops out of the customs and fighting the world.

Li Ru's work efficiency was still very high, and it didn't take long for the two edicts to be carried out of Chang'an by angels. However, what Li Ru didn't know was that he was calculating Huo Yu, and Huo Yu was also calculating him!

With the end of the battle for Jizhou, Huo Yu returned to Jixian County after arranging everything in Jizhou. There is still a lot to be done here as the foundation for the future conquest of the world. As soon as he arrived in Jixian County, Shi Ah appeared in front of Huo Yu again.

The first of the two pieces of news that Dark Yuwei had just sent back from Chang'an was that the Chang'an Imperial Court had agreed to Huo Yu's recital, and he was appointed as the pastor of Jizhou; The second piece of news made Yuan Shao the pastor of Yuzhou.

This move was both expected by Huo Yu but also unexpected, and it was expected that Dong Zhuo would once again seal Yuan Shao's official position. Unexpectedly, Yuan Shao was actually named Yuzhou Mu, so that Yuzhou will definitely fall into the hands of the Yuan family, Kong Ling's fate can already be met, and Liu Biao, the wall grass, is estimated to not be better.

At present, it seems that Li Ru is really powerful, once Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu gain a firm foothold, they will definitely join forces to deal with themselves. However, Li Ru ignored the outlier of Yuan Shu, after Sun Jian's death, his subordinates and Sun Ce's silenced relics, nine times out of ten, they would have been under Yuan Shu's command as in history, so once the jade seal of the country fell into the hands of Yuan Shu, this second goods would definitely surprise everyone.

However, before dealing with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, Huo Yu still has a problem that must be solved in advance. The civil war in Xianbei in the northern grassland is basically coming to an end, although Wuhuan has surrendered, but it does not mean that since then, the northern Xinjiang has been as stable as a mountain, and there are Xiongnu entrenched in the west, so the issue of Xianbei has been put on the table again.

Although Xianbei's strength is not as good as before, it is also a hidden danger after all, and if this hidden danger is not removed, Huo Yu has no way to launch a campaign to dominate the world with peace of mind. Cao Cao will never be in the company of foreigners, but it is difficult for Yuan Shao to say, if he makes some small moves behind his back, it will not be a little trouble. Therefore, Huo Yu must grasp the initiative.

On the night he returned to Jixian County, Huo Yu found Xun You, Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia, the three of them, and of course, Tian Feng, who followed Huo Yu to Youzhou together. The plan for the conquest of Xianbei had to be formulated, but after discussion, many problems were discovered, so that the matter of conquest had to be shelved.

After taking Jizhou, the number of non-commissioned soldiers trained according to the way of the Liaodong Army decreased significantly, although many Jizhou troops were also recruited, but these people could not meet Huo Yu's requirements at all. Although the total number of troops under his command continued to increase, a series of problems arose.

The first is the combat power of the soldiers, because of the control of Jizhou, the food and grass problem of the expedition to Xianbei naturally does not have to worry. However, the Xianbei people are brave and good at fighting, and now the combat strength of the entire Youzhou army has decreased significantly, and it is definitely not Huo Yu's wish to attack rashly, so it is necessary to start large-scale training.

The second is the internal contradictions, although the Wuhuan people in a series of relatively peaceful policies, gradually integrated into the Han people, but after all, the time is still short, has not yet been completely integrated, if at this time, lead the army to expedition Xianbei, it is inevitable that there will be some ulterior motives or other princes to take the opportunity to provoke contradictions, which is bound to cause adverse effects.

Thirdly, it is the two external factors of Goguryeo and Buyeo. When Xianbei was strong, Goguryeo and Buyeo submitted to Xianbei, and it was difficult to guarantee that they would not send troops to attack and harass when the two sides were fighting, so it was essential to need military generals and soldiers to stay behind for defense.

The last is money, now Youzhou except for the four eastern counties, all in accordance with the original plan in large-scale construction, Jizhou will inevitably also have a large amount of money investment, so it will inevitably affect the speed of armament rearmament.

Combined with the above reasons, the topic of Huo Yu and others gradually changed to the new policy. At the time of Liaodong, Huo Yu encouraged business, which led to a large increase in commercial taxes, so Youzhou and Jizhou must strictly implement this law, so as to promote the stable and rapid development of the two states.

As a result, preparations for the war against Xianbei were postponed, and negotiations began on a new decree. During the whole process, Tian Feng rarely spoke, and once he did, he must have pointed to the crux of the problem, and under the repeated consultations of everyone, all the problems raised were properly resolved.

Three days later, a new decree was issued, and Xiangping, Liaodong, was no longer the economic and military center, all of which had to revolve around Jixian, and all the core departments had to move to Jixian. In order to avoid some unnecessary troubles in the future, Huo Yu insisted on the implementation of a policy of separation between the military and the government, and that local officials had no right to mobilize the army, and the army could not interfere in the local government.

Decrees such as tax reduction, encouragement of business, tuntian, road construction, salt and iron were issued one after another, and the barracks were also changed from the previous open to the closed type required by Huo Yu. In addition to this, the decree on the promotion of national integration was officially pushed to the forefront.

The two new words of Yan and Huang descendants and Chinese nation appeared in the eyes of everyone. The decree demanded that Han Chinese and affiliated aliens be treated equally, but those who instigated ethnic conflicts and other acts were severely punished, regardless of whether they were Han Chinese or other races. Although there are still many policies and decrees that Huo Yu wants to launch, he knows that the food must be eaten one bite at a time, and Lu Yao walks step by step, and he still understands the truth that things must be reversed.

For the new decree, the people of Youzhou and Hebei rejoiced, especially for large business families such as the Mi family and the Zhen family, and the new policy benefited a lot.
