Under Yuan Shao's military advisor Cui Hao and the chaotic Jizhou, one policy after another was implemented, and in just a few days, the situation of the people of Yecheng flowing to other places stabilized. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Cui Hao did not take tough measures to stop the people from fleeing, but to keep the people with benevolence and righteousness, Yuan Shao patrolled various places under the protection of Yan Liang and led the elite cavalry to stabilize the people's hearts, and on the other hand raised food everywhere to calm the price of grain, which was used to stabilize the people.

And the various checkpoints leading to Liu Wei were also guarded by the army of Jizhou. Despite this, it takes a lot of time for Yuan Shao to patrol various places, even if he rushes to the three cities in one day, there are hundreds of large and small cities in Jizhou, and the patrol cannot be completed in a month, and it will take time to raise grain and grass. And the road is guarded, and it is difficult for the people to cross the mountains and mountains and pursue a better life.

Although the situation in Jizhou was somewhat contained, there were still people who crossed the mountains and mountains and came to Liu Bian's rule.

Liu Wei had already made preparations, and set up strongholds to accept the people in Hanoi, Bingzhou, Youzhou, and Qingzhou, and the people entered his rule, and soon they were resettled and started a new life.

After Xun You waited for Yecheng to stabilize, he also left Jizhou in disguise, and Cui Hao's appearance made Xun You unexpected. But the goal of destroying Jizhou has been achieved, and the next thing to see is how much population Jizhou has lost, and how much Liu Wei has gained by virtue of this business war.

On the other side, Wei Xiaokuan, who was in charge of northern Hebei, also entered Youzhou, and went south from Youzhou to Bingzhou to prepare to return to Luoyang.

More than a month has passed since such a thing, and the princes of the world are looking forward to it, but Liu Wei has not sent troops to attack Yuan Shao from beginning to end. On the contrary, the civil strife in Jizhou alarmed the princes from all walks of life, and the princes from all walks of life hurriedly inquired and finally learned the reason.

With business as the war, the first war destroyed the public security of the entire Jizhou, undermined the law and order of Jizhou, and lost hundreds of thousands of people in Jizhou. One by one, the news reached the ears of the princes. They couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and at the same time they took strict precautions against businessmen, and at the same time increased the supervision of the market, for fear that Liu Wei would be so handful under their rule.

It's just that they think too much, and the use of business warfare is not something that can be done if you want to, but an opportunity is needed, and the poor harvest in Jizhou this year is an opportunity. And the political system of Jizhou is controlled by the family, and the law and discipline are relaxed, so Liu Wei succeeded.

If Liu Wei did this in Yanzhou, maybe the price of grain would be suppressed on the first day, and Jinyiwei would also be miserable.

Time gradually passed, and a month passed in a blink of an eye, and the time came to the second year of Jian'an, June 197 AD.

On this day, Liu Wei reported the news from all over the country in the study, and Xun Yu took the fold and reported to Liu Bian: "Your Majesty, it has been a month since the Jizhou Rebellion, and it is not until now that the people in exile in Jizhou have been stopped, and the results have come out!"

"Read!" Liu Wei said in a deep voice.

"In the direction of Hanoi, a total of 125,830 people poured in, in Youzhou, there were 101,759 people, and on the side of Bingzhou, because Taihang Mountain blocked the road, only 76,348 people came, and on the Qingzhou side, 69,453 people. This time, a total of 360,000 people were obtained, and the total number of people in Jizhou was only about 1.8 million. In addition, the legal system and shops in various cities in Jizhou have been destroyed, and there is a serious shortage of grain and grass, which has affected this year's spring ploughing! I'm afraid that the vitality is greatly damaged, Your Majesty has empty gloves and white wolves, borrowing money from the four major chambers of commerce not only got hundreds of thousands of people, but also greatly damaged Jizhou, Weichen admires it. Xun Yu arched his hand and said.

"Haha, if it weren't for the birth of a Cui Hao, the population of Jizhou would have decreased by more than 500,000, it's a pity! By the way, Xun Yu has been back for a long time, why hasn't Xiaokuan come back? Liu Wei suddenly remembered Wei Xiaokuan and asked in a low voice.

Xun Yu explained: "Master Wei is in charge of northern Hebei, and Yuan Shao is in southern Hebei, so he will operate for a little longer, and then he will enter Youzhou, and now he is only afraid of going to Bingzhou, right?" I'm afraid it's back! ”

"Oh!" Liu Wei nodded, and was about to send someone to inquire about Wei Xiaokuan's whereabouts, when he remembered the voice of Jinyiwei at the door of this matter: "Report to Your Majesty, there is a letter from the commander!"

"Come in!" Liu Wei said loudly.

Jinyiwei entered the main hall, Xun Yu took the letter and read it to Liu Wei: "Chen Kuanyan: Weichen has now arrived in Yanmen, Your Majesty don't read it, Your Majesty and Hetao Ran Min cooperated in exchange for ploughing cattle, and now it has been heard by Mongolia, and Mongolia has now repeatedly sent cavalry to destroy and rob ploughing cattle. I went to Yanmen, and listened to General Yang talk about this matter, General Yang was resentful of foreign races, and now he is sabotaging the cooperation, General Yang wants to send troops to attack the Mongolian cavalry, please allow Your Majesty, and the minister is worried that something will go wrong in this matter, so he stays in Yanmen, please return quickly! ”

After listening to the contents of the letter, Liu Wei pondered for a moment and looked at Xun Yu and said, "What does Wen Ruo think?"

Xun Yu pondered for a moment and said: "On the grassland, Temujin has just integrated the grassland, unified the Western Regions, and hoarded a large number of soldiers and horses in Xiliang, and it is impossible to go south in a short time. They sabotaged our cooperation with Ran Min, and the result was obvious, weakening the forces on both sides of us! ”

The Han Dynasty got the ploughing cattle, which was a strong national capital, and Ran Min got the armor and weapons, which was a strong military strength. After listening to Xun Yu's analysis, Liu Wei nodded and said: "Don't let Mongolia sabotage this matter, order Yang Jiye to send troops to rob and kill the Mongolian cavalry, don't let the aliens think that my Han is so easy to bully!"

"How do you reply to Lord Wei's place?"

Liu Wei groaned: "Xiaokuan and General Yang are old acquaintances, let him stay in Yanmen as a military advisor for the time being, how to deal with Mongolia, Xiaokuan is a smart person, I don't need to say much, he will understand."

"No!" Xun Yu gave up his hand to receive the order, and immediately retreated, and went to write a letter and reply to Wei Xiaokuan.

There are nine counties in the state, the four counties in the south are Shangdang, Shangjun, Xihe, Taiyuan, and the five counties in the north are Shuofang, Wuyuan, Yunzhong, Yanmen, and Dingxiang, of which the four counties in the south and Yanmen are in the hands of the Han Dynasty. Under the meandering of the Yellow River, an arch is formed in the north, and the four counties surrounding this place are also called the Hetao area.

The Hetao was in the hands of Ran Min, who did business with Liu Bian, who exchanged his armor weapons for cattle abundant in the northern grasslands and used them as ploughing cattle. Each takes what he needs, but Mongolia has always paid attention to this barrier of the Han Dynasty, and Ran Min's movements are known to Mongolia.

When the Mongolian top brass learned of this, they were naturally a little worried. Ran Min is a brave person, in the eyes of the grassland aliens, it is the existence of killing gods, butchers, recovering the Hetao, and the death of hundreds of thousands of aliens in the hands of Ran Min and the beggar army.

But fortunately, Ran Min seems to be ambitious and does not belong to Liu Wei, so in this way, this enemy will not be so terrible. Because the Hetao cannot produce weapons and has no food, as long as it is surrounded, he is not afraid of Ran Min. If Ran Min was subordinate to Liu Wei and obeyed his commander, then Mongolia wanted to go south, with the bravery of Ran Min and the beggar army, plus the support of the Han Dynasty, it would be impossible for Mongolia to invade.

Now Mongolia has learned that Ran Min and Liu Wei have actually started a business, which is not good news, which means that their relationship is reconciled. Mongolia naturally couldn't sit idly by and watch the cooperation between Ran Min and Liu Wei, but they had just unified the steppe, and the internal tribes were full of contradictions, so they couldn't send troops in a short time, so they sent a cavalry to destroy.

First of all, this cavalry slaughtered and collected cattle and sheep near the Hetao grassland, and Ran Min lost many sources of cattle for a while. The cattle in the Hetao were not raised by the common people, they were not Mongols, they lived in the city, and they grew crops for a living.

Ran Min wants to plough cattle, and a small number of Hetao can be taken out, but the tens of thousands of ploughing cattle traded like this have to be captured by themselves. The Mongols exterminated the cattle in the steppes and attacked the trading armies in an attempt to sabotage the trade.

The Hetao is large, but the population is small, and the people live in the big city along the Yellow River. Ran Min sent troops to transport ploughing cattle, thousands of miles along the way, and also had to enter the city to replenish. The Mongolian cavalry came and went like the wind, thousands of miles long Hetao, who can figure out where the Mongolian cavalry will send troops from?

Besides, Ran Min had just obtained the weapon armor and was busy training, so he couldn't personally lead a large team of people to protect him. was attacked several times, Ran Min wanted to lead the soldiers and horses to personally escort and protect, but he didn't know where the main Mongolian force was.

After a few times, it was to provoke both sides, Ran Min personally repaired Yang Jiye, and asked him to send troops to protect, if he encountered the main Mongolian force, he could chase and kill in his own territory, and he would also send troops to help.

First, Ran Min trusted Yang Jiye, and secondly, Ran Min was too hostile to foreign races, but over the years, he had to act cautiously because he had shouldered the survival of hundreds of thousands of people in Hetao. Third, that is, the Mongolian cavalry comes and goes like the wind, and the person who commands the army seems to be a powerful character, Ran Min once wanted to attack in person, and not long after leading the troops out of the city, there were cavalry in the city to report that they had found traces of the Mongolian cavalry in the north.

This made Ran Min dare not send troops easily, and the Mongolian cavalry relied on his advantages to be like the wind on the grassland, and Ran Min couldn't figure out where the main Mongolian force was. can only let Yang Jiye solve this matter, anyway, the transaction was proposed by Dahan, and Dahan also has the obligation to protect the transaction.

Yang Jiye naturally accepted it gladly, he had favored Ran Min for a long time, Ran Min took the initiative to ask him for help, and now that he has this opportunity to ease the relationship between the two sides, Yang Jiye will naturally not miss it. Just as Wei Xiaokuan finished the matter in Jizhou and entered Yanmen from Youzhou, Yang Jiye told Wei Xiaokuan about the matter, and then Wei Xiaokuan asked Liu Wei how to deal with it.

At this time, under the rule of Yunzhong County, far from the northern border of the Yellow River, in a desolate gorge, a Mongolian cavalry rested there. The Mongol cavalry numbered about 3,000 men, and in a tent in the center of the canyon, a young man was on the main seat.

The man was eight feet tall, about thirty years old, with a thick beard under his chin, but he was very neatly rested, with a Chinese face and a dignified appearance.
