Time flies, and the New Year is coming soon.

At this time, Tian Feng and Cheng Li's report also came.

With the efforts of the two of them, more than 30,000 people in the eastern Xianbei were annihilated, and the eastern Xianbei had been completely expelled to the north of Raoleshui, and they did not dare to graze in the Raoleshui basin in a short time.

Gao Shun was both excited and disappointed, excited that he had trained a strong army, and in a short period of time, Xianbei people were no longer a threat, and what was lost was that he did not go to the battlefield to kill in person.

is even more glad that Wen Chou did not weaken the strength of the Budugen tribe this time, so that the strength of King Helian and several nephews is still strong, otherwise, the imperial court is likely to unload the mill and kill the donkey, he must grasp this balance.

As the end of the year approached, reports and intelligence from all over the world gradually gathered.

Fang Liang's development momentum is good, and it is necessary to continue to send war horses to there, so that the number of cavalry can reach 20,000 as soon as possible.

Taishan County, Chengyang County and Langya County are developing rapidly, and with the support of a large amount of money and grain, the roads in the three counties and the roads leading to Jinan are being built very quickly, and it is estimated that they will be completed next summer. This created a large number of labor jobs, allowing the people at the bottom to obtain an additional income through their labor, and gradually getting better, and attracting a large number of people from other counties to migrate to the three counties.

Many people from Yanzhou and Yuzhou also moved to Taishan County, and local officials did not dare to stop them in the open for fear of offending Guangnianhou.

In particular, Xuzhou was affected by the Yellow Turban Army, and production was destroyed, not only did the people take the initiative to move to the three counties, but also those Yellow Turban Army who were dispersed also ripped off their yellow turbans and fled to the three counties for naturalization.

This move made Xuzhou Assassin Shi very annoyed, the three counties were like a bottomless pit, absorbing a large number of Xuzhou's population, which not only reduced Xuzhou's taxes, but also caused his military achievements to decline sharply.

Tao Qian's subordinates had to kill good people and take refuge, which forced more people to flee to Langya County for refuge.

The Mi family, the largest wealthy family in Xuzhou, decided to move to Langya County, which made Tao Qian have the urge to kill, but he didn't dare to offend Guangping Hou Fang Liang, his little soldiers and horses were not opponents at all.

Even the Taishan thief Kou Changxuan, who fled to the Lu State, also went to Donghai County and Pengcheng Kingdom in Xuzhou from time to time to plunder.

Changfeng is a smart person, and he doesn't dare to mess with Taishan County and Langya County; The counties of Yuzhou can not be offended, after all, on the territory of Yuzhou, it is easy to be encircled and suppressed; And Xuzhou, which was close at hand, with weak defense, was a good target for him to plunder, and he was not worried about retaliation, he concluded that Xuzhou would definitely not dare to cross the border to attack them.

With money and food, Chang Xuan recruited more bandits in the Lu State, and his strength became stronger; Now there are many poor people, as long as there is money and food, they are not afraid that they will not be able to recruit people who dare to fight.

And Lu Guo turned a blind eye to this, closed his eyes, as long as Chang Feng didn't do anything out of line, he was too lazy to take care of it.

Tao Qian was even more helpless about this, and did not dare to report to the imperial court, for fear of being considered incompetent and disadvantageous to suppress thieves, so he could only complain to the general, but the general was too lazy to take care of such trivial matters, and he was even more unwilling to offend Guang Nianhou because of this.

Zhou Fei was relatively stable there, relying on land, money, food and taxes to attract Liangzhou refugees to live or join the army; The business development is relatively smooth, with Dong Zhuo and the Wei family running, no one in Liangzhou dares to provoke.

The military strength has risen to a higher level, Guan Yu has 10,000 cavalry; Lu Yi and Song Xian, each with 10,000 cavalry and 3,000 infantry; Xu Huang was training 15,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry; Guan Hai had 5,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry under his command, and Zhou Fei's direct guard was 2,000 cavalry and 2,000 infantry; The total strength reached 70,000, and its strength was close to Dong Zhuo.

In winter, in October, Wuling rebelled, and the general took the opportunity to recommend Sima Sun Jian of other departments to serve as the Taishou of Wuling County, responsible for quelling the rebellion.

The rise of the Montenegrin army made the imperial court very worried, Wang Kuang had a hard time suppressing bandits, and the general promptly recommended Gongsun Zan to serve as the Taishou of Wei County in Jizhou, responsible for joining forces with Wang Kuang to suppress the thieves. Wei County is the richest county in Jizhou, and Gongsun Zhan is very excited.

For the development of the Montenegrin Army, Gao Shun is still very satisfied.

Under the leadership of Qin Guan, the Yellow Turban Army supported by Gao Shun developed vigorously, and had completely controlled the northwest of Zhongshan and the western part of Changshan State, and was actively developing towards Zhao State; The eastern part of Taiyuan County and the northeastern part of Shangdang County were also controlled by the Qin Pass.

There are more than 8,000 cavalry alone, and the strength is very strong, which is beyond the ability of the county to compete.

Killing the wealthy clans, robbing the landlords, and making Jizhou unpeaceful.

The advantage is that Qin Guan is not short of money and food, and the money belongs to him after each raid, but at least half of the looted food is used to save the poor around him, so that he has a good mass base in the local area.

Qin Guan's military discipline is very strict, there is no offense against the people, and the tax is low, only 20% of the tax is collected, and it has won the support of the people, and under the jurisdiction of the Montenegrin army, it is much happier than under the jurisdiction of the government.

The Montenegrin armies also gained great benefits from the trade with Qin Guan, not only to trade grain and salt, but also to obtain sheepskin jackets and other warm clothing, and even to buy a small number of war horses for a lot of money.

The Montenegrin Army, which has dozens of units, is not only better off than in history, but also stronger in strength than in history.

The most powerful is Yu Poison, with an army of more than 50,000 people, stationed in the area of Chaoge West Mountain, starting from Qingyan Mountain (Yunmeng Mountain) on the north bank of Cangshui in the south, and Qingyan Jue on the south bank of Qishui in the north, and the base camp is stationed in the central Lugu Mountain; There is a high mountain called Tiger Ridge in the mountain, the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack; Yu Poison led skilled craftsmen to build the top of the village, and since then, "Tiger Ridge" has been renamed "Tiger Village", also known as "Yu Poison Village".

The purpose of the Yu Poison Army is: to resist the officers and soldiers, fight the rich and help the poor, and protect the peasants. Yu Poison Army has strict discipline and brave combat, crisscrossing the vast areas of Hebei and Henan, where the righteous army goes, "the county cannot be controlled, and the court cannot be discussed".

The fly in the ointment is that Gao Shun feels that there is only the Montenegrin Army, and there are no echoes from other regions, which is too lonely, so he decided to gradually increase the purchase and sale price of grain from next year, which will force more people to participate in the Montenegrin Army or the Yellow Turban Army, forming a prairie fire in Dahan, and he can take the opportunity to fish.

Under Gao Shun's intentional control, the price of the Han war horse skyrocketed, several times higher than the price when he was in Luoyang.

The horses of Youzhou and Bingzhou were under his control, including the horses of the Huns, which could not flow into the interior; Most of the horses in Liangzhou, except for the own use of the warlords, flowed into Hedong County through trade and exchanged for food and other materials that were more scarce in Liangzhou.

Zhou Fei chose the best horses for his own use; Medium horses formed a huge transport team to transport grain and other materials from Bingzhou to Fenglingdu, and some medium horses were sold to Qinguan to form cavalry; Inferior horses were sold at high prices to the Montenegrin army and the wealthy families of the Central Plains.

At present, the only problem is that there are too many singles in the army, not only most of the synthetics are singles, but also the number of singles of natural people in the army is also quite large, which will be one of the problems that Gao Shun must solve in the future.

In this regard, the policy adopted by Fang Liang is undoubtedly very correct, but the cycle is too long, and it will take more than ten years to see results.

The number of foreign women who were bought and looted was still too small to play a decisive role.

Gao Shun is very satisfied with the current situation, and he still keeps a low profile for the plan for the coming year, waiting for the situation to change.
