"Brother Yuan, you think too much, what's the secret, it's just a combination of work and rest, you can't always do things all day long, right? My lord is nothing else, this means of understanding the people's feelings and understanding people's opinions, but it is first-class. ”

"Flowing water does not rot and the hub does not beetle, and wealth seems to be invisible and untouchable, but it is the same as water, and if it is silted up, it will dry up day by day, and there will be more and more circulation. The yamen does not need to participate more, as long as it supervises its flow and manages its trend like the embankment workers, which is in line with the essence of Lao Zhuang's inaction. ”

It wasn't until he listened to Jia Xu and Tian Feng's explanations that Zhang Liao reacted that he was indeed a little overreacting.

Think about it, what is the secret of Qingzhou's governance? It's nothing more than starting to determine a few general directions, and then proceeding step by step. The reason for today's situation is not so much that Wang Yu has talent, but that he has the courage to dominate the world.

Qingzhou's new deal, it's not that no one wants to get it, it's just that no one wants to do it and dare to do it. Wang Yu dared to do it, was willing to do it, and had the strength to do it, and the result was successful.

The displaced people, who should be ravaged everywhere like locusts, settled down in various parts of Qingzhou, represented by Gaotang, and created extremely huge wealth in just two years. Wang Yu extracted the same rate as the Han court's apparent figures, but there were no local tyrants and bureaucrats in the middle, and as a result, the wealth flowed, contributing to the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty in a short time.

"I said peace, I haven't seen you for half a year, but you have made a lot of fortune." Seeing that the old and new teams had become harmonious, Wang Yu knew that the heat was almost over, so he stepped forward and said with a smile.

"It's all up to your lordship." Jia Xu nodded and replied, then his fat face pulled, and he sighed mournfully: "Now that you are back, this bit of fat must be tossed and lost soon." Alas, the days of being cows and horses are about to start again. ”

Jia Xu was quite funny like this, but no one in Qingzhou laughed, and the relaxed atmosphere suddenly became a little heavier.

It's going to be a war, and it's a big war that may be even bigger than the Hebei War.

Since Wang Yu's debut, this mobilization is the largest. The two armies of Yulin and Taishan alone, the number of regular troops has exceeded 40,000!

5,000 wind cavalry, 1,500 personal guards and iron cavalry -- Lü Bu asked Zhang Liao to assist Lü Qiling, not just to make him a staff member or deputy general. With Zhang Liao, there were also 500 Bingzhou cavalry. These are all elites of a hundred battles, as long as Wang Yu provides equipment, they can be included in the battle sequence.

Coupled with the scouts of the Hidden Mist Army, the number of regular soldiers has reached 50,000!

And the cost of this army. Far above the surface number, there were 5,000 galloping cavalry, a total of more than 10,000 war horses, 1,500 personal guard iron cavalry, and almost 5,000 reserve horses, and the number of the two cavalry was less than 10,000, but the cost was comparable to 40,000 foot soldiers.

So. The size of the mobilized force far exceeded the apparent figures, and it was not much different from the 100,000 army.

The 100,000-strong army will be fighting across the border, and the logistical supply required will also be of a very terrible scale. It is impossible for Gongsun Chan to come up with this money, and he can't afford to come up with it. Therefore, Wang Yu could only recruit a large number of auxiliaries and civilian men in the territory, plus these people, not to mention 100,000 manpower. Even 200,000 may not be able to stop it!

In this day and age, this is quite a scary number. An army of millions in the usual sense. In fact, this is also the case, in the war records of this era, there is usually the word 'claim', 350,000 people are called 100,000, 200,000, and 100,000 people can be called 500,000, 1 million.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that this time Qingzhou is sending a million troops to the north.

This heavy number pressed down on the body, who didn't tremble? Mobilizing such a large army to fight may outweigh the losses if it wins, and if it loses, it will fall apart all at once, and the consequences will not be ordinarily serious.

The General's Mansion originally had a plan to mobilize a large army, and the scale of mobilization was even higher than this time, but it was for the Central Plains. With a million-strong army roaring westward, sweeping across the Central Plains, and setting the world, this is the highest dream of this era, and everyone will spare no effort.

But now, the goal of the million-strong army is Biansai. Honestly, no one felt the need for that.

Anyway, with Gongsun Chan and Zhang Yan blocking in the north, even if Hu Lu really attacked in a big way, he might not be able to threaten Qingzhou.

And the Central Plains ...... After solving Lu Bu, the fertile soil of the Central Plains is like fat in front of him, and even a stable person like Guoyuan thinks that it is better to go west first and then to the north. Hu Lu is just a clown jumping off the beam, after locking the Central Plains, are you still afraid that Hu Lu will be rampant?

If it weren't for Wang Yu's authority being too high, everyone would have been accustomed to acting in the general direction, and dissent would have been flying all over the sky. Even now, Zhongwu, especially the ministers, are very resistant, so after Jia Xu directed the topic to the topic, the atmosphere became dull.

Looking around at the scene, taking in everyone's expressions, Wang Yu resolutely ordered: "He, you prepare, and as soon as Yuan Zhi and Zijing arrive, a military meeting will be held immediately." ”

"Yes." Jia Xu bowed down and answered.

In this Northern Expedition, Wang Yu didn't pat his head and decide, he attached great importance to it, so on the way, he had already sent a message to the generals who wanted to participate in the Northern Expedition or the overall strategy of the staff, asking them to return to Gaotang to discuss military aircraft.

As a result, Tai Shici was the farthest away and came back the fastest, and Lu Su and Xu Shu in Xuzhou and Wei County were one step behind.

The reason why a large-scale military meeting was held was not to emphasize democracy, and with Wang Yu's authority, it was no problem to directly press down with orders. However, there are too many aspects involved in the Northern Expedition, and if we cannot unify our understanding, any small link that goes wrong may have an irreparable impact on this important war.

"Yuan, Qiling, you come with me." After setting the date of the military discussion, Wang Yu beckoned to Zhang Liao and Lu Qiling, and went straight to the mansion in the city.

When everyone saw this, they also dispersed.

Wang Yu doesn't like to hold meetings very much, but he is very keen to get people together to talk about the world, or have dinner or something. However, everyone also knows that if the lord solemnly holds a large meeting, it means that he has to seriously consider a certain decision.

No matter what kind of attitude you have, you must be well prepared, and if you are persuasive enough, you may not be able to make the lord change his mind. Of course, it's not easy.

Although Zhang Liao is a newcomer. But I also heard some of Wang Yu's style from Zhao Yun, thinking that the other party summoned himself in a serious way, because he wanted to teach him face-to-face or something, and make a supportive speech at the military meeting.

In terms of their attitude towards the Hu people, Zhang Liao and Lu Bu have the same opinion, because they are deeply affected by it, and they also know that the threat of the Hu people should be able to help Wang Yu's decision-making to a certain extent.

But he didn't expect Wang Yu to call him. It's just to get them a place to stay.

"The inner city is too small, there is no way, let's make do with it first. Anyway, after the military meeting, the reorganization of the army will begin, and then everyone will live in the barracks on the plains. It was much more spacious there. Uh, you guys take a rest first, Yuan Zhi and Zijing should arrive soon, and someone will call you then. ”

In order to accommodate the two, Wang Yu spent a lot of brain cells.

Zhang Liaohao said, whether as a general or as a guest secretary. can be properly placed. Lu Qiling is a little troublesome, in fact, the two are already husband and wife, otherwise Lu Bu will rest assured that his daughter will follow? But there hasn't been a ceremony yet. It's not a problem to bring people to the back house like this.

In the end, after thinking about it, he still arranged people to Mi Zhu's house, anyway, Erqiao, Huang Yueying, and Mi Zhen all live here, and everyone has similar identities. There should be a common language, right?

Thinking so, he breathed a sigh of relief. I thought about saying goodbye and leaving, and then went to meet Er Qiao and Huang Yueying. Although the military horses are handsome and the government affairs are busy, it is too much to say that the little girl from other people has traveled thousands of miles to Gaotang and not seen her.

Seeing that he was leaving, Zhang Liao was stunned, did Wang Junhou forget something, he hasn't explained the business yet.

"The Prince's ......"

"Far away, anything else?" Wang Yu stopped and turned around.

Zhang Liao hesitated for a while, but still decided to say bluntly: "Well, in the military discussion, should the last general be ......?"

"Far from the heart." After listening to this, Wang Yu nodded approvingly, but rejected Zhang Liao's proposal: "But don't be so troublesome, there are still a lot of talents in Qingzhou, and there are experts in Xianbei problems, and he will give a comprehensive introduction when the time comes." ”

"Xianbei problem...... Expert? Zhang Liao's tongue was a little knotted.

"Well, expert, that's amazing." Wang Yu saw that Lu Qiling was not beside him, and said in a low voice: "It's my father-in-law......

"Oh, ah!" Zhang Liao was stunned, and then he figured out that Wang Yu was not talking about Lu Bu, but Cai Yong.

As a famous minister in the Huan Ling era, Cai Yong is indeed very insightful in military affairs. The reason why people have the impression of being a pure scholar is only because of his long exile life.

Farewell to Zhang Liao, Wang Yu went to see Er Qiao again, but he was empty, and the maid told him that the second daughter went shopping.

Xiao Qiao is a foodie, and when he arrived at Gaotang, the mecca of food, he was naturally like a fish in water. And Da Qiao, who has always seemed very calm, also has hobbies, she likes clothes and decorations.

The custom of the Han Dynasty was to tailor clothes and buy materials to cut them by themselves, but the nature of the original city of Gaotang was special after all, and the requirements for clothing were more urgent, so Wang Yu introduced the concept of large-scale production, and many ready-to-wear shops came into being.

Some of these costumes are inherent in the Han Dynasty, some are later costumes made according to Wang Yu's memory, there are costumes from the Tang, Song and Ming dynasties that he saw in film and television dramas, and some are similar to work clothes with special functions.

These novelties had a fatal attraction to Da Qiao, and as a result, after arriving in Gaotang, the sisters went shopping on the street almost every day, and they also set ambitions. Xiao Qiao plans to open a restaurant, the purpose is self-evident, Da Qiao plans to be a fashion designer and make clothing a career.

After listening to the maid's story, Wang Yu exclaimed similar to Zhang Liao: The world is really full of wonders.

Coming out of Er Qiao's residence, Wang Yu didn't go to Huang Yueying, that little girl had already found her ideals, at this time, Bacheng could only pounce, so hurry up and go home to see.

Speaking of which, after his son was born, he only saw it once, and if he didn't look at it more, his son might not recognize him in the future.

However, as soon as Wang Yu turned around, the guards came, bringing fortunate or unfortunate news: "Lord, the two generals Yuan Zhi and Zijing have entered the city, and the military advisor invites you to go to the council hall!" ”
