The imperial court came to Nanyang without a single soldier, and immediately officially bordered the three major forces of Liu Biao, Cao Cao and Yuan Shu. Sun Jian led the follow-up increase of 100,000 troops and stationed them in Wancheng, and various follow-up supplies were also continuously transported with the horse team.

Everything seems to tell the world that the imperial court is about to recover the Kanto region.

Cao Cao's attitude towards this is ambiguous, the key is that what he needs to face at the moment is the Taishan thief entrenched in Mount Tai. And Yuan Shao is also worried about Gongsun Zan and the Black Mountain thieves. Zhang Yang is a good man, and it doesn't matter if the court is in charge, and it doesn't matter if others are in charge, he only guards his own one-third of an acre.

Wang Kuang was much more embarrassed, Ma Chao and Sun Ce were stationed in Hedong County and Henan Yin respectively, and they had the intention of attacking Hanoi County at any time.

There is also Zhang Ji's nephew Zhang Xiu, who has been clamoring to enter Chang'an, Wang Kuang no longer wants to resist, and Lu Bu's existence has become more and more a burden.

Perhaps in order to digest the existing territory, the South Vietnamese State did not make any new moves. Food shortage is a common problem of all forces, without which there is no way to fight a war, and even if there is money, there is no way to buy food.

Whether the agricultural reform is carried out or not, the results are quickly felt. Li Ming still has a lot of grain in stock, but there has been a shortage of grain in other places, among which the price of grain has risen to ten times the market price within the influence of the imperial court, while that of Youzhou is twenty times, and Yuzhou is five times the market price.

Only in Yanzhou and Xuzhou, grain prices are still relatively stable, even in Qingzhou, grain prices have tripled. The only one that can sell grain at a fair price is Yangzhou, and the key is that the position is often closed.

Li Ming even adopted an emergency mechanism, which imposed high taxes on all purchases of private grain, and at the same time used the real-name system to limit the amount of grain purchased by the people who bought grain from the standing position, so as to stabilize the frenzied purchase market.

The two merchants were punished for instigating the people to buy grain at a reasonable price, and were not allowed to do business for three years, and at the same time had to pay a high fine. These two merchants instigated the people to buy grain at a reasonable price, then purchase it at 150 percent of the price, and finally transport it to Yuzhou or Guanzhong, where they sold it at five times or ten times the price.

In the blink of an eye, in July and August, after the beginning of summer, the war in the whole country began to pause. No one wants to fight under the scorching sun, especially if they are still wearing a full armor. The north is fine, the south can make people suffer from heat stroke.

In the middle of summer, Li Ming finally accepted Dong Cheng as a concubine, and the dowry had already been collected, and it was not appropriate to throw aside one of other people's eldest daughters. If you want to say that Li Ming and Diao Chan still have a little encounter, then it can be said that there is no emotion factor in it with Dong Cheng at all.

Only on the night of the cave room, the moment Dong Cheng became a woman, she hugged Li Ming with tears in her eyes and whispered: "Now, you can't dislike others anymore...... Are people really that ugly? Do you want to leave right away and don't want to meet people? ”

Li Ming couldn't say that Dong Zhuo proposed marriage at the beginning, and he thought that the other party was the same as Dong Zhuo. Who would have thought that Dong Cheng was actually more like her mother, not delicate and cute, but she looked heroic, healthy and lively.

Anyway, they are all concubines, and if he knew that she looked like this, Li Ming naturally would not refuse. Then again, I seem to be getting more and more used to this world lately. In the past, falling in love was about feelings, but now as long as the other party is good, the marriage is meaningful.

Perhaps, as others in later generations said, men often use multiple female partners to improve their self-esteem and self-confidence. From a genetic point of view, males have the genes to leave offspring urgently.

After all, after 5,000 years, most of the men in China have to face the fate of enlisting in the army, and the average life expectancy is not long, so I hope to leave descendants as soon as possible in my lifetime, which can be regarded as a manifestation of a sense of crisis, right? !

Time passed little by little, and the golden autumn also came, and a large amount of grain began to be harvested. According to the agreement, the agriculture of Huiji County and Wu County no longer needs to pay any taxes, and only needs to be sold to the government on a priority basis when selling grain.

The four counties of Yuzhang, Changsha, Danyang and Luling do not enjoy this treatment for the time being, and the families of the four counties are also sensible and do not make a fuss.

After the agricultural reform, the grain production did increase a lot, especially when the craftsmen built the zigzag plough according to Li Ming's description, and a large number of buffaloes began to be put into it, and farming became much easier.

A large amount of grain has entered the regular liquidation warehouse, and at the same time, the excess old grain has begun to be sent to the Guanzhong area for sale. There was always a shortage of grain there, and now the price of grain has dropped from ten times to five times at most. Even if it is old grain, as long as there is no problem with the quality, it can be sold at a good price.

Autumn is also the season of war. The imperial court issued an edict again, indicating that from now on, it will go south to conquer the Nanyue Kingdom. The key point is that this time it was the emperor who drove the expedition in person, and Liu Ting personally went to the battlefield, and of course appointed Huangfu Song as the deputy marshal as the actual commander. At the same time, he called on all the heroes of the world to jointly crusade against the South Vietnamese State.

"You want me to go south? What if the other side takes the opportunity to attack Hanoi? Lu Bu looked at Wang Kuang, he was called over by Wang Kuang today, but he didn't expect him to lead his troops south to join the crusade team.

"You and I are still Hanchen, it is reasonable to help the court crusade against the unministers, as for the garrison here, it is handed over to Zhang Xiu to be responsible!" Wang Kuang said slowly.

"That's good! I heard that the lord of Nanyue is a snake, a demon beast-level existence, I want to see if I can slaughter Jiao! Lu Bu was obviously also interested.

At the same time, in Beihai County, Qingzhou, Kong Rong looked at the three people in front of him, they were the three Taoyuan brothers. Originally, Liu Bei was appointed by Gongsun Zan as the defender of the plains, but naturally he was hated by Yuan Shao and sent troops to attack. Liu Bei has so many 5,000 soldiers, how can he deal with Yuan Shao's army? Besides, Plains County is not in danger!

It just so happened that the Taishan thieves ransacked the place, and this time they actually ransacked the territory of Qingzhou, and the Beihai Taishou asked for help from the surrounding Taishou. Seeing that Yuan Shao's army was coming, Liu Bei immediately decided to wave his army south to support, and now he is temporarily pinned on Kong Rongmen.

The history of Qingzhou Thorn, since Gong Jing, has always been vacant. Just like the history of merging states, it is still vacant, and each county has its own politics and does not belong to each other.

Kong Rong meant that he planned to promote Liu Bei as the assassin of Qingzhou, but he didn't expect to go out of Nanyue.

I heard that Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan both stopped for the time being, and each took his men and horses south to Nanyang County Huimeng, and Cao Cao also sent Xiahoudun and a young general named Li Jin to the south together. Except for Yuan Shu's lack of action, everyone participated, Qingzhou was not good, but Kong Rong certainly didn't want to take risks.

"I, Liu Bei, as a member of the Han clan, how can I do things without regard to ......" Liu Bei sighed, he has been in the name of the Han clan, and he wants to repay his debts. After deducting that Liu Yu needed to resist Xianbei and Wuhuan and couldn't go south, Liu Yan and Liu Biao, and even Liu Miao sent people to converge, since he Liu Bei was recommended by Kong Rong as the Qingzhou Assassin History, how could he sit idly by?
