When I returned to Youzhou, the time had already entered November of the seventh year of the Great Han Guoguanghe.

As soon as he arrived in Quanzhou, Li Yi entered a busy state, and he didn't even have time to cultivate his relationship with Cai Yan.

There's no way, it's been almost half a year since he left Youzhou, and there are really not too many things that need to be dealt with by him personally.

The first is the establishment of the former General's Mansion and the Youzhou Prefecture Governor's Mansion.

The military generals who were under Li Yi before were okay, each of them has been set in their own positions, and they also have their own affairs. However, Xun Yu and other new ministers and officials who had defected to Li Yi needed to be appointed immediately.

Xu Maogong was appointed by Li Yi as the military advisor of the Youzhou Army, while Xun Yu and Xun Yu were both appointed by Li Yi as the Zhonglang of the former General's Mansion. As for Chen Qun and Zhong Xuan, they were appointed by Li Yi as Youzhou Beijia and Zhizhong respectively, and became the two giants of the officials in the Youzhou Prefecture Pastoral Mansion. For the rest of the people, Xun Chen was appointed by Li Yi to be engaged in the book Cao, Xin Ping was appointed to be engaged in the discussion of Cao, Xin Bi was appointed to be engaged in the Gong Cao, Xun Yan was appointed to be engaged in the classics, and Xun Di was appointed to be engaged in the Bing Cao.

As for the twenty-nine subordinates under the former general's mansion, as well as the thirty-one envoys and royal subordinates, Li Yi selected some people from the local Youzhou and Youzhou army to fill the positions, and the rest of the officials of the state pastoral mansion also selected talents from Youzhou locally.

In this way, after five days, the former General's Mansion and the Youzhou Prefecture Governor's Mansion were finally built and able to open their offices.

But Li Yi was not able to relax on this, and more troublesome things were still to come.

According to the previous annual practice, the Xianbei people had to go south to raid in November and December in the winter, and now it has entered November, which means that the Xianbei people may soon come to invade the border.

The Youzhou army was also on guard because of this.

Today, the Youzhou army has 15,000 cavalry and 35,000 foot soldiers. An army of 50,000 men was divided into 10 armies, each with 5,000 men.

The 15,000 cavalry was divided into three armies, with Li Yi personally leading one army, and Zhao Yun and Zhang Jaw each leading one army.

The 35,000 foot soldiers were divided into seven armies, with Yue Fei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Zhang Baiqi, and Fang Bao each leading an army.

Guan Yu led 5,000 soldiers and horses from his headquarters to garrison Tundai County, Yue Fei and Zhang Jaw each led an army, with a total of 5,000 infantry and 5,000 cavalry stationed in Shanggu County, Cheng Pu led an army of 5,000 infantry soldiers to garrison Zhuo County, and Zhang Fei led 5,000 men and horses from his headquarters to garrison Jixian County. Regarded as the defensive force of Guangyang County, Zhao Yun and Han Dang led 5,000 cavalry and 5,000 foot soldiers to garrison Yuyang respectively, while Li Yi personally led 5,000 iron cavalry, as well as 10,000 foot soldiers of Zhang Baicai and Fang Bao, a total of 15,000 soldiers and horses, stationed in Quanzhou, Li Yi's old nest, and responded in the center.

Just when the Youzhou army was fully guarding against the Xianbei people going south to plunder, Xiliang's rebellion happened on time according to Li Yi's memory. Huang Zhongyi rebelled from Hu and established Beigong Yu as a general. The then Liangzhou Overseer engaged in Bian Yun and Liangzhou engaged in Han Yue robbery as hostages and did not return them.

Liangzhou Assassin Shi Zuochang sent Gai Xun to lead an army to garrison Ayang County, and the rebels saw that Ayang County could not be breached, so they turned to attack Jincheng County. beheaded Chen Yi, the Taishou of Jincheng County, coerced Bian Yun and Han Sui to join the gang, and elected Bian Yun as the leader.

Bian Yun and Han Yue led their troops to surround Zhou Zhiji County, and Zuo Chang asked Gai Xun for help. Gai Xun led reinforcements to Ji County. reprimanded Bian Yun and others for betraying the imperial court.

Bian Yun and Han Yue both said: "If Zuo Chang had listened to you earlier and sent troops to rescue Jincheng County, maybe we would have been able to reform ourselves." Now the sins are too great to surrender anymore. ”

So, Bian Yun and others wept and left, lifting the siege of Ji County. Later, he surrounded Xia Yu, the captain of Huqiang. And Bian Yun changed his name to Bian Zhang, and Han Yue was officially renamed Han Sui at this time.

But to the surprise of the Youzhou army, which was ready to fight fiercely with the Xianbei people who went south to plunder, it was rare that the Xianbei people did not go south this year.

What Li Yi didn't know was that in this winter, there was turmoil among the Xianbei people, and the Xianbei leaders and companies were busy suppressing the internal rebellion, so how could they have the energy to go south to plunder.

In mid-December, the Beijing master Luoyang sent a holy decree, saying that Liu Hong, the son of heaven, had ordered the change of Zhongping, and this year was the first year of Zhongping, and after the New Year's Eve, it was the second year of Zhongping.

In the ice and snow, the three million people in the five counties in the western part of Youzhou can only stay at home for the winter as in previous years. However, unlike previous years, this winter, not a single person starved to death in the cold five western counties. This is mainly because before the heavy snow fell, Li Yi sent personnel down to various counties and counties to supervise the distribution of relief food to those poor families.

At the same time, Li Yi also ordered all but the necessary defensive forces to be dispatched to repair the houses of the poor families living in dilapidated houses, and some particularly dangerous houses were even demolished and rebuilt.

In Li Yi's view, every population is his treasure and he will make a fortune in the future...... Well, it's the capital to dominate the world, but you can't be starved to death.

Although many officials in the state pastoral government did not understand Li Yi's actions, now Li Yi's prestige in Youzhou is too high, and those who have different opinions are forcibly suppressed by him.

According to Li Yi's words, you have to implement it if you understand, and you have to implement it if you don't understand, otherwise, then I will have to take you under the knife, and then let people who are willing to do things do it.

Li Yi's behavior further deepened his prestige among the people, and I don't know how many families have set up his immortal tablet at home and prayed for him every day.

In the year 185 AD, that is, the second year of Zhongping in the Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms 2018 system also gave Li Yi a chance to draw a lottery.

Before again, Li Yi had conducted four lotteries, respectively drawing the salt making method, wine-making method, horse breeding and steel filling method, and this fifth time, Li Yi drew a very applicable thing - breeding method!

As the saying goes, food is the life of the people, and in this era of almost agrarian era, industry and commerce are almost zero, food production is undoubtedly the top priority. In order to obtain more food, in addition to clearing wasteland, expanding the cultivated area, and adopting more advanced farming techniques to increase grain production, planting seeds with higher yields is also an excellent way to increase grain production.

After getting this information, Li Yi immediately found Xun Chen, the secretary of the state pastor's office, and asked him to immediately organize people to select the seeds needed for this year's spring plowing according to the preferred seed part of the breeding law.

In addition, Li Yi also specially instructed Xun Chen that in this year's production process, a special person should be arranged to be responsible for breeding matters to provide better seeds for Youzhou's grain production.

Although Xun Chen was surprised where Li Yi got this "Breeding Law", he was still smart and didn't ask.

In fact, even if he asked, Li Yi would not tell him, because of the origin of this book, Li Yi can't tell others, and he can't tell others, that's his biggest secret, who knows who died! In this regard, Li Yi will not hesitate.

The snow this winter is very heavy, but it makes the people of Youzhou look forward to the coming year even more. It is said that Ruixue is a good year, and now that Youzhou has a good official like the former general, it may usher in a good year, who is not looking forward to this upcoming year?

In March of the second year of Zhongping in the Han Dynasty (185 AD), the land of Youzhou, which had been covered by ice and snow for half a year, finally regained its vitality, and three million people in Youzhou began to work in full swing.

On the northwest frontier of the empire, the flames of war began to burn again.

Han Sui and others led tens of thousands of cavalry to enter Kou Sanfu under the banner of killing eunuchs and invaded the garden mausoleum. Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty sent the left general Huangfu Song and Zhonglang general Dong Zhuo to conquest, but they were not defeated, and the strength of Bian Zhang, Han Sui and others was further expanded, with 100,000 people, and the world was in turmoil.

When Emperor Fu Song was conquest of Zhang Jiao, he passed through Yedi and found that the residence of Zhao Zhong, the middle servant, exceeded the regulations, so he went to the emperor to confiscate it. In addition, Zhang Rang, the regular attendant, asked him for 50 million money, but he refused to give it. So Zhao Zhong and Zhang Rang joined forces to impeach Huangfu Song for a series of unsuccessful battles, costing money and food. Emperor Ling listened to the slander, recalled Huangfu Song, took back his left general seal, stripped the title of Marquis of Huangfu Songhuaili, changed the title of Marquis of Duxiang, and ate 1,000 households.

And just when the war in Xiliang was raging, after a winter of rest, the Youzhou Army, which was recuperating, also began to act.

However, this operation was not a Northern Expedition, but an Eastern Crusade.

In today's Youzhou, Li Yi controls only the five counties in the west, and he also has a certain influence in Youbeiping County and Liaoxi County, which are also in the west, because these two places are in the hands of Liu Zheng and Gongsun Zhan. And these two people have a good relationship with him, and Li Yi is not good at attacking them immediately.

However, Li Yi was able to make a move against several counties further east.

The four counties of Liaodong in the east, Liaodong County, Xuansu County and Lelang County have all fallen into a semi-independent state at this time.

The so-called outside must first be inside, and he couldn't manage this place before, so Li Yi didn't have the heart to pay attention to this. Now, as a pastor of Youzhou, how could he allow these places to wander outside his grasp?

Therefore, before the Northern Expedition, the four counties in the eastern part of Youzhou must be brought under his administration.

On the one hand, Li Yi dispatched troops and sent envoys to the four eastern counties, demanding that each county immediately send people to Quanzhou to discuss the issue of bringing the four eastern counties into the jurisdiction of the Youzhou Prefecture.

People are selfish, and the officials of the four counties of Liaodong may have been hanging on the frontier for too long, thinking that the emperor is far away, and no one can help them, so they ignored the envoys sent by Li Yi. There were even officials from individual counties who humiliated the envoys sent by Li Yi.

Li Yi was angry, Nima and these people are simply toasting and not eating and drinking, if you can't discuss it with you, then you can only use the knife to reason with you.

Therefore, Li Yi led his 5,000 iron cavalry to leave Quanzhou in early April and personally went to conquer the four counties of Liaodong. (To be continued.) )

PS: It's the third watch, Snow Love continues to code words, and today is still striving for five more, and everyone's support must keep up.
