Maybe it's because the sleeping system is really effective, or maybe Guo Yi's body has finally matured and it's time to have children. In the second month, Zhao Rou and Lu Zhenjing's old trees bloomed and they were both pregnant. A few days later, He Wan, Lu, and Cai were also pregnant. The next month, Cui Miao was also happy.

Guo Yi thought it was too strange. Why is it that a few of them are slightly older and pregnant? Forty-six-year-old Lu Zhenjing and thirty-six-year-old Zhao Rou are already elderly mothers. I don't know if there will be any danger.

Because they are pregnant, they have all canceled the task of sleeping and raising the baby with peace of mind.

It was Xun Cai's eighteenth birthday. A birthday party was held to celebrate. At the same time, she was officially included in the list of attendants. On the night of his birthday, he spent the night in Guo Yi's room.

Time flashed to the end of 191. It has been a year and a half since Guo Yi merged with the state, and the new policy has been implemented for more than a year. Although he was paralyzed in a wheelchair for nine months, the affairs of the state continued in an orderly manner.

The people began to get used to and praise the New Deal, and the exiles of the world gathered in the state.

It was also in this year that the first batch of Xiongnu and Han mixed children were born. Coupled with a year of recuperation, the soldiers got married and had children, and the state ushered in a baby boom.

The traces of the Southern Xiongnu have been erased, and their women have become mothers of Han Chinese children. These children take Han names, learn Han culture, and they will be Han people through and through, and they will no longer have the memory of the Southern Xiongnu.

At the end of the year, it took a month for the household department to count the population. One state, six counties. Calculated from the inclusion of Guo Yi's forces. The total population has grown from 2.7 million to 5.6 million! It's doubled!

More than 900,000 children under the age of five are among them! That's a very large and scary number. Nearly one-sixth of the population is completely incapacitated.

Among them, the foreign population is more than 3.3 million! If it weren't for the extermination policy of the Southern Xiongnu and the extermination of men and women over the age of twenty-five, the population of Guo Yi's forces would have been more than six million.

Guo Yi owns one state and six counties, and the area is roughly equivalent to three modern provinces. 5.6 million people, put into modern society, that is, the population of Taiyuan City.

But the end of the Han Dynasty was not a modern society. Survival resources are extremely limited! Half of all the six counties in one state owned by Guo Yi are non-agricultural areas, and it is impossible to grow grain in large quantities. What's more, in ancient times, the yield per mu was so small, and it was very dangerous to feed such a large population.

At the end of Emperor Ling, there were thirteen states in the country, with a total population of 60 million. In the seven years of war since the Yellow Turban Uprising, the preliminary estimate has decreased by nearly 10 million people!

In other words, Guo Yi has one-tenth of the country's population. And the demographic structure is very young, not the one over fifty! Even those over the age of 30 are only 300,000.

This number should continue to increase in the next three to five years. The Central Plains is about to fall into chaos, the people are displaced, and they have to bear the burden of excessive taxes. Fleeing to what they know to be peaceful is the only way out. And Guo Yi has used newspapers to convey his image of abundant food and clothing, safety and security to all parts of the country.

It's a new year. All parts of the state are closed for New Year's celebrations.

time, entered 192 years.

In the Central Plains, Gongsun Chan began to wave his army south, with nearly 300,000 soldiers and horses, menacing. Yuan Shao was at war with him in the Hejian Kingdom. The two sides fought fiercely for more than ten days, with more than 100,000 casualties before they died down and each withdrew its troops.

Yuan Shao deeply felt that his strength was weak, and he knew that Gongsun Zhan would definitely not give up. Pacing in the tent, worrying about how to cope with the next battle.

Fu Zhu suggested: "We might as well negotiate peace with Gongsun Zhan and go south to take Qingzhou first." ”

Guo Tu said: "Gongsun Zhan, the tiger and the wolf, must not give him a chance to breathe." It is better to win over Liu Yu and make him fight with Gongsun Zhan, then our army will be profitable. ”

Yuan Shao hesitated, and couldn't think of how to make a decision. Walking back and forth for tea time, everyone waiting was about to go crazy. Only then did he say slowly: "That's it." Give the seal of my Bohai County Taishou to Gongsun Zhan to show reconciliation. Then contact Liu Yu and ask him to discipline Gongsun Zan well! ”

"The lord is wise!"

Gongsun Zhan received the seal ribbon from Yuan Shao and promised a truce. He was stationed in Yi County, Hejian State, where he built a city and trained his troops.

Just when they had just made a truce, the Yellow Turban Uprising broke out again in Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and Jizhou! Gongsun Zhan led 20,000 infantry to the south and entered Bohai County to defeat the Yellow Turban thieves.

The Yellow Turban thieves attacked the city and spread to seven or eight counties at once. Cao Cao, Kong Rong, Tian Kai, Tao Qian and others all suffered from it and raised troops to fight.

Gongsun Zhan fought against the Yellow Turban Thieves along the Yellow River at the border of Bohai County. After three days of fierce fighting, tens of thousands of beheaded, more than 70,000 prisoners, and countless baggage and property. Then Gongsun Chan stayed in Bohai County and didn't leave!

Yuan Shao was furious! Without saying a word, he personally led the army eastward and vowed to recapture Bohai County. The two sides fought a general battle on the shore of Zhangshui, and each mobilized 780,000 people.

Yuan Shao set up an ambush, and Gongsun Zhan probably won many battles, and he was a little floating, and he actually entered the ambush circle without any defense. was killed by Yuan Shao so much that he lost his armor and was beheaded by two generals!

Frustration promptly dissuaded Yuan Shao: "Lord, don't chase after the poor!" ”

Yuan Shao glanced at his subordinates, this time he had gained a lot, the population, property, and land were all in hand! Then he pointed to Koji Yi and said, "You lead three thousand people and continue to pursue!" ”

Koji Yi received the order and continued to pursue Gongsun Zhan. After chasing more than 100 miles, Gongsun Zhan once again integrated the team, and when he saw that there were only more than 3,000 people in Koji, he launched a counterattack.

Unexpectedly, the other party's morale is high, and his own side is a tired teacher. Defeat again! Gongsun Chan couldn't take care of it anymore, and hurriedly fled north. fled to Guangyang County, entered the territory of Jixian County, and built a city on the outskirts to defend itself.

But Jixian County is the seat of Youzhou, and Youzhou Mu Liu Yu is stationed here! Liu Yu is kind-hearted and people-oriented. Gongsun Chan was arrogant and lascivious, and he was tyrannical. The two sides immediately began to pin each other.

After Yuan Shao won a big victory, he finally pacified all parts of Jizhou, and finally sat firmly in the position of Jizhou pastor. You can free up your hands to plot other counties!

In the area south of the Yellow River, Cao Cao was caught in a protracted war. Begin to fight with the Yellow Turban Army.

And when Gongsun Chan fled in a hurry, a person who had always been attached to him also quietly broke away. This person is Liu Bei. Liu Bei is the commander of Pingyuan County, and Pingyuan County is the seat of Qingzhou Pingyuan County. Being a county magistrate in such a place is a troubled time, so naturally there is no good life.

The Yellow Turban thieves revolted again, and Pingyuan County, in the center, suffered greatly. But Liu Bei has a good outlook, and took advantage of this opportunity to add a little strength!

At this time, Beihai Xiang Kong Rong sent Tai Shici to ask for help.

Liu Bei was shocked and said repeatedly: "Kong Beihai actually knows that there is Liu Bei in the world? ”

Without saying a word, he immediately led the army to help. Zhang Fei is good at fighting. Kill a way in the encirclement of the Yellow Turban thieves, behead the thieves, and the siege of Beihai is solved. Liu Bei stayed in Beihai Kingdom.

The Central Plains is very lively. Guo Yi just watched from the sidelines, did not participate, did not agitate, and did not take benefits. A complete outsider's posture. Of course, if anyone who is not long-sighted dares to hit him, then I am sorry, Li Zhang is as stable as Mount Tai in Jizhou's territory.

When Gongsun Chan fled, some stragglers bravely broke into Zhongshan Kingdom, and Li Zhang immediately led his army to behead all of them, and hung them on the city gate to set an example.

In the face of Guo Yijun's overwhelming strength, Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zhan, and Cao Cao, the three forces bordering it, could only honestly admit their status as neutrals. I secretly thought that I would come to clean him up when the Central Plains was pacified.
