Chu Yi lowered his head and took a sip of tea: "Gongda, how much do you know about the current situation in the merger state?" ”

Xun You shook his head slightly: "It's not very clear, I hope to hear about it." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"There are nine counties in the state, with a total population of less than 700,000." Chu Yi said calmly.

"So little?" Xun You was stunned, before the Yellow Turban, not to mention the entire Yuzhou, the population of Yingchuan County alone was one hundred and twenty or three hundred thousand! And even after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the population of Yingchuan County is more than one million!

Although Xun You knew that Bingzhou was sparsely populated, he was still taken aback when he heard the figure of 700,000.

"yes, that's so little." Chu Yi sighed, "According to the statistics of the fifth year of Yonghe (140 years), there are 115,029 households in the nine counties of Bingzhou, with a total population of 706,792 people. Now, another 50 years have passed, and the population is probably more than 600,000 at most. ”

Xun You didn't know where Chu Yi's demographic data came from, but with Xun You's understanding of Chu Yi, since the other party swore that he would not be nonsense, he frowned slightly, and then shook his head and said: "But I remember that in the former Han Dynasty, there were 160,000 households in Taiyuan County alone, with a population of nearly 700,000. Why is the population so small today? Impossible, impossible. ”

"I don't know why. But these data are in the palace, and Senior Sister Lin'er has been helping me keep books in the past few months, and she has also read these statistics. ”

Chu Yi was also puzzled, during the Western Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu were still strong and had been raiding the border for a long time, but at that time, the total population of Bingzhou was more than 3 million.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu weakened, and the rising Xianbei strength was far less than that of the Xiongnu at its peak. As for the attached Southern Xiongnu, although they sometimes rebelled, they were still under the management of the Eastern Han Dynasty in most cases, so it is unlikely that it was because of a foreign race.

It is also possible that the ecology of the Loess Plateau is destroyed? But it is unlikely that the population will decline so much in just over 100 years......

Xun You knew that this matter could not be entangled at all, even if he wanted to understand the situation in the state, he would have to wait until the world was stable and then send someone to investigate: "Okay, even if what you said these data are true." You go on, what's wrong with it other than being sparsely populated? ”

"Huns." Chu Yi said lightly, "The Huns have not been very stable, which is why I want to use Yu Fuluo." ”

Xun You raised his eyebrows: "So you want to use it to set the Huns against each other, so that they can't be concentric with each other?" ”

Chu Yi smiled bitterly: "Actually, what I originally wanted was to support Yu Fuluo as a puppet and coerce Yu Yu to call the Huns." ”

Xun You was slightly stunned, and shook his head slightly: "The Huns are very dissatisfied with Fuluo, if you want to force Fuluo to order the entire Xiongnu, one will send a large army to forcibly conscript, and the other will arouse the rebellion of the Huns, which is not the best policy." ”

"I know, but I didn't think of a better way before......" Chu Yi smiled bitterly, he was not very good at this kind of strategy, Xun You was able to wake up the dreamer with a word, "But after listening to Gongda's words, it is true, most of the Huns are against Fu Luo, but there are also people who will support him, after all, he is the legitimate successor of Shan Yu." At that time, as long as a little support is given to Yufuluo, it can cause internal confrontation and division within the Southern Xiongnu. Use this to deplete their strength! ”

Xun You smiled slightly: "In this way, it is effortless, and the Huns can kill each other." ”

"I've found that you always have a bland look at some very unethical ideas......"

“……”

At present, the greatest threat to the security of the annexed states is the Huns attached to the Hetao. As for Xianbei, although they were strong, they didn't dare to completely turn their faces with the big man, so Xianbei left after robbing at most every time. As long as the Xiongnu are settled first, Chu Yi can slowly deal with Xianbei. You can even lure Xianbei to attack the Xiongnu, and then pit the southern Xiongnu to help fight with the Xianbei people.

"By the way, remember to do me a favor these days."

"What's the busy?"

Chu Yi told him about his conspiracy against Dong Huang.

Xun You glanced at Chu Yi slantedly: "You still have the face to say that I am yin?" ”

Chu Weiyi was embarrassed: "Okay, it's time for me to say goodbye, remember to find the right time to help me with that!" ”

"Wait a minute." Xun You shouted to Chu Yi and said solemnly, "Zizhang must remember not to be too cautious in the future!" ”

"Huh? How so? ”

"Some time ago, when the Bingzhou army was still in Luoyang, there was a mutiny, clamoring to merge the state, you found someone to arrange it, right?"

"Well, what's wrong?"

Xun You said solemnly: "In fact, as soon as the hearts of the state army are scattered, Dong Zhuo will definitely not keep them by his side." Your last arrangement, I know you're on the safe side, but I think it's a bit redundant. Although he barely concealed Li Ru and Dong Zhuo, he still couldn't hide it from some smart people. ”

"Hehe, apart from Gongda you, who else can see it?"

"Zhong Yuanchang, we were still discussing this matter a few days ago."

"Zhong Yuanchang?" Chu Yi was slightly stunned, "Zhong Xuan? ”

Xun Youqi said: "Huh? How do you know? ”

Chu Yi smiled, his eyes fluttering slightly: "He's Tingweizheng, I seem to have heard his name mentioned." ”

"I see, but not anymore, he is now the Yellow Gate Squire. Speaking of which, he wants to see you too. ”

"What are you doing with me?"

"He's a very good calligrapher, and lately he's been very fond of your handwriting. So Zhong Yuanchang has always wanted to see you and ask you for advice in person. Don't you want to know some skilled strategist, who is no worse than me? ”

"......" Chu Yi stayed for a long time, and suddenly covered his face, "I suddenly feel so sorry for him......"

Xun You was shocked: "Huh? Why are you sorry for him? ”

Chu Yi shook his head and said with a look of shame: "Don't mention this matter, you can find a time to take Zhong Xuan to my house, and I will tell him everything I will." ”

Zhong Xuan was supposed to be the originator of regular script, but Chu Yi left a lot of regular script and line script between the families before the regular script appeared. Therefore, the originator of regular script has to learn italics from Chu Yi...... Amitabha, inadvertently snatched the title of the originator of your regular script, and the poor Dao was deeply ashamed......

After leaving Xun You's house, Chu Yi wandered around Luoyang City for an afternoon, only to find out where Jia Wenhe, the captain of the school, lived.

Jia Xuxin's mansion is not as remote as Huangfu Song's house, her house is on an ordinary street, and people come and go but no one notices.

"Hidden in the city, ah......"

Chu Yi stepped forward and knocked on the door, and after reporting his name, he went in smoothly.

"Captain Guo, in about a month, my sister will go to Bingzhou, and I plan to ask Dong Gong for you, I don't know what you think?"

Chu Yi looked at the lazily sitting young woman in front of him, but he didn't dare to be careless in his heart.
