(Thank you for your support!) This chapter is a transitional chapter, but you can't help but read it, many friends reacted that the plot development was too slow, and the old students also felt that this was the case, Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, and the princes discussed Dong and later is the highlight of the Three Kingdoms, and the joke of fighting wits and fighting bravely and fighting the economy will be released soon! ）

The family reunion, it is rare to enjoy a few days of family fun, Ma Chao has a very high prestige in the Ma Teng army, especially the great victory of the Southern Xiongnu, Wuheng, and Xianbei wars, which makes his status in the hearts of the soldiers of the Xiliang Army no less than Ma Teng. What's more, the two are father and son, and Ma Chao is the eldest son, so the soldiers did not have a trace of resistance, and the 60,000 troops that had already been assembled were handed over in less than a day.

Among the 60,000 troops, there are 20,000 cavalry and 40,000 infantry troops, all of whom are well-equipped soldiers in a hundred battles, and their combat power is by no means comparable to the recruits that Le Jin and Chen Zhi are training. It was a pity that these soldiers were older, because almost all of them under the age of twenty-five were selected by him to form the Shenwei Battalion.

However, warfare in the era of cold weapons is very different from modern warfare, and the battlefield swords are not only fought for strength and courage, but also for experience and martial arts, so between the ages of 20 and 40 is the peak period of warfare. These 60,000 people can still fight on the battlefield for at least five to ten years, Ma Chao decided to separate them, those over thirty-five years old are used to defend the city and Tuntian, and those between the ages of twenty-five and thirty-five are the heroes of the battlefield, and they are definitely the elite of the elite.

Ma Teng not only had an army of 60,000, but also nearly 100,000 displaced people, either who had recruited those who were preparing for the coming year's Tuntian in recent months, or Han slaves that Ma Chao had plundered from the Southern Xiongnu. Although the Southern Xiongnu women were given part of the wives by Ma Teng to the homeless people, there were still 50,000 people left.

After thinking about it, Ma Chao had to make up his mind in the Hetao area, for the sake of these people, I don't know how much manpower, material resources and food were consumed, and it must not be given to Dong Zhuo cheaply.

After three days, the father and son discussed the major matters, Ma Teng took Ma Chao's selected 100 personal soldiers and some retinues, a total of more than 200 people, from Wuwei County, first entered Xiaoguan to Guanzhong, and then passed through the land of Sanfu, Chang'an out of Tongguan into Hangu Pass, and then passed through Hedong, Zhongmu, Hongnong and Yanjing Luoyang.

Ma Chao wrote a letter to Ma Teng and handed it over to Dong Zhuo, the assassin of Liangzhou, who was sitting in Chang'an. The letter euphemistically put forward the meaning of intersection, first of all, a big sycophant, and then said that he urgently needed grain and grass to exterminate the Black Mountain thieves, and was willing to hand over the land of the three counties of Wuwei, but asked Dong Zhuo to support one million Hu grain and grass and 50,000 catties of pig iron, and at the same time secretly revealed that Han Sui was also willing to give one million Hu grain and grass and 50,000 catties of pig iron in exchange for the land of the three counties.

Dong Zhuo couldn't help but be secretly annoyed after receiving the letter, he knew the land of Xiliang counties best, and the three counties might not be able to harvest a million grains a year, and Ma Chaochun belonged to the lion's big mouth. But although one million pounds of grain and grass and 50,000 catties of refined iron hurt him a little, it will never hurt the fundamentals, and from a long-term perspective, he will only earn money and not accompany him!

Dong Zhuo summoned his subordinates to discuss, carefully weighed the pros and cons, and finally decided to agree to Ma Chao's unreasonable request. There is no way, in case Ma Chao hands over the three counties to Han Sui, he will send troops to recapture the grain and grass consumed, it will not be a million Hu, in case Ma Chao lends troops to Han Sui, whether he can win or not, if he wins, it will be a tragic victory, and he will not be able to eliminate Han Sui who has just made a windfall. And Han Sui himself is a thief, and he doesn't have as many worries as the Ma family's father and son, and he will definitely fight him to the end!

The two sides bargained through messengers, and finally sold for 800,000 pieces of grain and 30,000 catties of refined iron. After receiving the supplies, Ma Chao did not withdraw his troops immediately, but only promised to go to Bingzhou to exterminate the thieves at the beginning of spring tomorrow, and then give up the land of the three counties. Dong Zhuo was not afraid of Ma Chao being lazy, so he agreed to come down.

It has been two months since these things were done, and Ma Chao was not idle during this time, first sent Ma Xiu to lead 10,000 Xiliang soldiers and horses to rush to Shangdang to help Wen Ping exterminate the bandits in the territory. Later, he asked Ma Tie to lead 20,000 cavalry to escort grain, grass, fine iron and other materials to meet Pang De, Wang Shuang and Ma Dai, and ordered the four to lead the army to exterminate the small Qianghu forces west of the Yellow River in Shangjun and Hexi County in the south of the Southern Xiongnu.

Shangjun and Hexi are west of the Yellow River and south of the Great Wall, and across the Yellow River to the east are the Hedong part of Taiyuan County and Hexi County and Sili Hedong County. This area has become a political blank area since the Yellow Turban, the county is too guarded in name only, nominally ruled by overseas Chinese in Luoyang, after the Yellow Turban retreated, it became a place where Qianghu ravaged and plundered, the people fled, died, and there were few people.

Ma Chao decided to use this place as a military tuntian area, and arranged 100,000 displaced people from Xiliang and 60,000 families of the army to tuntian here. In the military aspect, it can be along the Yellow River to the Tongguan fortress, echoing with the Kei Pass, Huguan and the northern royal court, and encircling and merging the state from all sides in the southeast, northwest, and northwest.

After arranging these matters, Ma Chao secretly mobilized some of the people in the three counties to migrate, but only to blacksmiths, carpenters, plasterers, Lang Zhong and Mr. Hanmen and other people with a skill. The Hetao region not only needs to produce grain, but also smelts iron, dries salt, and even builds commerce, education, medical care, and so on.

The 60,000 army and their families, plus 100,000 homeless people and 50,000 Hun women, are more than 250,000 people, and the resettlement of this group of people is a huge project that takes time and effort. For this reason, Ma Chao also personally went to Fufeng County to invite Fa Yan, the father of Fazheng, out and rushed to Shangjun to make preparations, and the first batch to rush to the family members of 60,000 Xiliang Army and some grain and grass.

The remaining 30,000 soldiers and displaced people are also ready to leave at any time to escort supplies to Shangjun. Ma Chao was also busy for three months, at this time it was January 188, and Wen Ping and Ma Xiu led troops to exterminate the bandits everywhere and recover the county seat; The 30,000 recruits of Le Jin and Chen Zhi also often haunted the valleys of the Taihang Mountains to attack some small groups of black mountain thieves, and at the same time they also blocked the mouths of the ministers of the imperial court.

Seeing that spring was coming, Ma Chao personally rushed to Zhangye County to visit his father-in-law Han Sui. There are two purposes for going here, one is to appease Han Sui, after all, the land of the three counties was given to Dong Zhuo, and Han Sui was inevitably dissatisfied. Secondly, he agreed with Han Sui to continue to attack Xianbei after the beginning of spring, and Xianbei must be disabled, so that he will never turn over. Xianbei threatened Shuofang, Jiuyuan, and Yunzhong in the north, and Ma Chao was restless, so he decided to send heavy troops to conquer it, and completely drove it away in one fell swoop when his vitality was greatly damaged, and at the same time, he was able to plunder a large number of livestock and people and other materials.

After a night of deep talks, Weng and his son-in-law quickly reached a consensus and decided to raise troops at the same time in three months. As for the three counties of Wuwei, Ma Chao did not explain too much, and only promised to completely drive Dong Zhuo out of Liangzhou within three to five years, except for Beidi County, the other six counties were all ceded to Han Sui. In this way, the only trace of estrangement between the two disappeared without a trace.

In February 188, Ma Chao led 30,000 Xiliang elite soldiers, more than 100,000 displaced people and 50,000 Xiongnu women, a total of 200,000 people, from Wuwei County, along the Great Wall through Beidi County, which lasted more than half a month before arriving in Shangjun. Pang De, Ma Dai, Wang Shuang and Ma Tie had already exterminated several small Qianghu forces in the territory. Ma Chao organized the resettlement of the displaced people, and on the other hand, he said that Shangjun had been leveled, and the former Shangjun Taishou could come back to govern the place, and at the same time reported that two months later, he sent troops to Xianbei at the same time as Han Sui, the general of Zhengxi, and vowed to drive Donghu to the bitter cold land in the north.

The great joy of the Spirit Emperor Liu Macro, even the Han room can be prosperous! But not long after the joy, the world rebelled again.

First of all, Ma Chao just left, Dong Zhuo accepted the three counties of Wuwei and did not wait to sit firmly, and the Qiang people in the area of Jincheng raised 50,000 troops to attack Wuwei County and Anding County, and the momentum was huge.

Secondly, entrenched in the Baibo Valley of the West River, the 80,000 Yellow Turban remnants led by Guo Tai and Yang Feng raised troops to attack Taiyuan County, known as the "Baibo Army!" "With the absolute superiority of the number of people, the army captured several counties of Taiyuan County in less than half a month, Ding Yuan was only 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers and horses, and Jinyang City was in danger. Yu Fuluo, who was entrenched in the Taihang Mountain, took the opportunity to lead more than 10,000 Southern Hun cavalry to the Hedong County to loot and plunder, Zhang Yan and Yu Poison's Black Mountain Army were not willing to be lonely, and took advantage of the chaos to gather troops to attack many counties on both sides of the Taihang Mountain and the northern part of Hebei Prefecture.

In the end, Yizhou Ma Xiang, Zhao Yi and others raised troops in Mianzhu, called themselves Yellow Turbans, killed Yizhou Assassin Shi Qijian, and attacked Ba County and Qianwei County. In a short period of time, Ma Xiang claimed to be the Son of Heaven, with more than 30,000 soldiers. Bajun Banyuman also took advantage of the situation, attacked the county, and copied the city, and the whole Yizhou was full of smoke.

Liu Hong hurriedly consulted with the ministers and issued an edict ordering Dong Zhuo to send troops to fight against the chaotic Qiang Hu; ordered the state to assassinate Shi Dingyuan to exterminate the white wave thieves; Let Yizhou engage in Jia Long's gathering of county soldiers to fight against Ma Xiang and Zhao Yi; He also sent Sima Zhao Jin of the Xiyuan Shangjun Department to lead 10,000 troops to pacify the Ban Yuman who was making trouble in Ba County. And the extermination of the Yu Fuluo and Black Mountain thieves naturally fell on Liu Hong's good son-in-law Ma Chao.

In March, Taichang Liu Yan took the opportunity to advise the state pastor again, Liu Hong was greatly moved, and after careful discussion with the important ministers of the court, he immediately appointed three state pastors, and they were also the only three state pastors during the Ling Emperor. First of all, the Han clan Taichang Liu Yan was sent to Yizhou as the pastor of Yizhou, and the servant Huang Wan rushed to Yuzhou to serve as the pastor of Yuzhou, and Liu Yu, the ancestor of Youzhou, was appointed as the pastor of Youzhou, and since then the state pastoral system has once again appeared on the stage of history since Wang Mang.

Ma Chao did not immediately send troops after receiving the imperial edict, but ordered the 10,000 Xiliang soldiers entrenched in Shangdang County in Bingzhou to stand by, and Zhang Liao and Huang Zhong stationed in Jiguan and Huguan were also the same, only Le Jin and Chen Zhi led 30,000 new troops to attack some black mountain thieves who wantonly robbed the people.

Ma Chao deliberately delayed for a month, mainly to resettle the displaced people who came with the army. The resettlement method of these 100,000 displaced people is very different from that of the generation of Montenegrin displaced people in Shuofang County, because Ma Chao no longer has livestock in his hands to distribute them, and he does not dare to divide the land equally among them. Shuofang is far away from the emperor and belongs to Ma Chao's fiefdom, so it is naturally no problem to settle the displaced people and divide the land. But Shangjun is still nominally a land of annexed states, and there are still imperial court mechanisms and some Han people who are strong enough to operate Tuntian here, if they dare to divide the land here equally among the displaced people, it will definitely cause the world to shake!

In this regard, Ma Chao implemented a policy of forcible pressure, and did not exterminate those landlords and strong, but he levied ten yuan of grain per mu of land, and if he wanted to stay here and continue to farm, he had to pay grain according to the land every year. At the same time, a large area of land was set aside as a military tuntian area, and Fa Yan and Ma Tie led 20,000 Xiliang veterans to take charge of this area, and 100,000 displaced people temporarily carried out military tuntian. But they were very different from captives and slaves, not only did they have personal freedom, but they could also form a family and share in the fruits of their labor and the tools of production. To put it simply, it is a collective system similar to that of the rural production teams in the sixties and seventies of later generations.
