During the heyday of the Han Dynasty, the population of Chenliu County reached 1.6 million, which was the end of the Han Dynasty, and Chenliu was also a large county in the Central Plains, with a population of no less than hundreds of thousands, but due to the lack of grain harvest in the Central Plains in recent years, many people in Chenliu were exiled to other places, until Cao Cao occupied Chenliu and implemented a remedial policy to ease it.
【Xuchang City】Yingchuan County Administration, since ancient times, in addition to the most prosperous and wealthy place in Beijing, the largest number of gate lords of the Han Dynasty have lived here for generations, and it is also why Cao Cao moved the Son of Heaven to Xuchang in the original history, the population is extremely dense and the economy is developed.

[Overall Rating]. ★★★
【Gongsun Chan】
At this time, Gongsun Zhan's image in the eyes of the world is similar to Sun Jian, and he is also a figure like the god of war.
【Sphere of Influence】The current sphere of influence of Gongsun Chan is still only Zhuojun, and he is still nominally a subordinate of Liu Yu, the assassin of Youzhou
【Beiping City】Zhuo County Administration, producing good horses
【Total Population】At this time, because Beiping City was located in the north of Youzhou and bordered by the Xiongnu, Xianbei and Karasuma, there were often wars, so the population was only maintained at about 100,000 all year round
After defeating the minority rebellion and the Yellow Turban Army many times, it also absorbed a large number of high-quality soldiers among the captives, especially the soldiers of the northern nomads, who were able to ride and shoot well, and even the training was left, at this time Gongsun Chan had 70,000 soldiers and horses, including 30,000 cavalry and 10,000 elite cavalry.
At this time, the relationship between Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao was still good, and Gongsun Chan was also facing the same problem as Yuan Shao, Gongsun Chan was near him who could fight and lay down, and his own army was also more and more, and he could not afford to raise a huge army only by relying on his own station, so at this time, Gongsun Chan set his sights on his old boss Liu Yu, trying to capture the entire territory of Youzhou by force.
【Economy】In terms of economy, because Zhuojun is located at the junction with the northern nomads, it also drives trade with the northern nomads.
[Overall Rating]. ★★
【Liu Bei】
Liu Bei is a descendant of Liu Sheng, the son of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, although he is a relative of the Han family, but the young Liu Bei experienced hardships, and the young Liu Bei worshipped Lu Zhi as a teacher with Gongsun Zan at that time; Liu Bei is a person, he doesn't like to talk much, he can treat his subordinates well, he likes to make friends with heroes, powerful people and wealthy businessmen, and he can often get the favor of the other party and take the initiative to qualify and even attach himself to him, and his personality is very charming. At this moment, Liu Bei was temporarily living in Pingyuan County with the help of his fellow father-in-law Sun Zhan.
Sphere of influence: parts of Qingzhou Plains County
Pingyuan County is a medium-sized northern county, not very outstanding in all aspects, the only commendable thing is his southern Gaotang Port, which is the most important port in Qingzhou, but at this moment Gaotang Port is not in Liu Bei's hands.

[Overall Rating]. ★

【Zhang Lu】
It is rumored to be the tenth grandson of Zhang Liang, the Marquis of the Western Han Dynasty, and the grandson of Zhang Ling, the ancestor of Tianshi Dao (Wudou Mi Dao). Zhang Lu is the third-generation Heavenly Master of Wudou Rice Dao (called Department Master), who continued to spread Wudou Rice Dao in Hanzhong after killing Zhang Xiu, and is also a master who is good at controlling people's hearts by religious means; You must know that in the ancient agricultural civilization society, it was very difficult to rebel, I have only heard of the rebellion of the princes, but I have not heard of any peasant uprising victory, and there are only two possibilities for the peasants or other forces at the bottom to rebel, one is a religious organization, and the other is a gang organization; I have always heard that as soon as it is said in the commentary, it is who is who, which peasant uprising general ascended to the heights and shouted, and then he rose up, that is all nonsense, in the past, the fields were very scattered, where do you go to occupy it? Standing at the entrance of the village shouting? Shouting out your throat will make a few people listen to you, so at least the organizational tool that can organize a large number of people is religion or gangs, just like the Yellow Turban Rebellion is the Taiping Dao, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom of the Qing Dynasty is also a religion to worship God, and the forces established during the Republic of China are also gang forces that make it possible to organize a huge number of people, in fact, it is the same in later generations, but the name has changed, just like the trade unions in the United States in later generations actually did the work done by the previous gangs.
【Sphere of Influence】Zhang Lu's sphere of influence is the northernmost Hanzhong region of Yizhou, and it is also the only place to get to Yizhou.
[Hanzhong City] since ancient times, the place where soldiers must fight, under the rule of Zhang Lu, the government governance was replaced by religious governance, and it is also a wonderful flower in this troubled era.
【Yangping Pass】The most important pass in the east of Handong

【Total Strength】Zhang Lu's followers also have people who can fight well, Yang Ren is one of them, and Zhang Lu's subordinates also have 50,000 troops, most of which are deployed in Yangping Pass.
[Diplomacy] In addition to being particularly close to Liu Yan, he remained neutral with other forces, did not make friends, and did not make enemies.
【Economy】Since Hanzhong is the place of trade between Shu and the Central Plains, it is not bad economically.
