Cheng Yu sighed slightly, the anger in his chest came and went quickly, in fact, his eyes were already filled with joy. did not make a military wait for Cheng Wu to ride the Golden Winged Tiger, but was happy that he was safe and sound.

In the past few years, Cheng Yu has not had the slightest news of Cheng Wu, and he really thought that he had died in this troubled world, and he had already despaired in his heart. I didn't expect that now that I have seen the sun and see a more heroic son, how can I not be happy in my heart?

"Get up."

Cheng Yu's eyes were a little red.

Cheng Wu got up, his eyes were slightly red, and he couldn't help himself. Seeing that the old father was excited, he hurriedly helped and comforted him.

Cao Cao also showed a look of relief, nodded, and did not disturb the father and son, and turned to communicate with Guo Jia.

Guo Jia's expression was upright, even if he did not hide it, what happened in Liangzhou, what he saw and heard, and what Li Zheng said, no matter how big or small, came together.

Cao Cao and Xun Yu listened to the change of expressions and were silent for a long time.

"It's finally the day"

Cao Cao sighed with emotion, but he didn't see anger, but his face was a little desolate.

"My lord,"

Xun Yu pondered: "It seems that even if Li Chongxiao doesn't fall into the ground, he won't give assistance to the lord, we have to think of another way!" ”

"Think of something else?" Cao Cao laughed at himself and said, "What else can I do?" If you understand, in the current situation, there is only one way to go, Li Chongxiao, Li Chongxiao, you win! ”

"Lord!" Xun Yu's face was anxious: "There is still hope!" ”

"There is no hope!" Cao Cao waved his hand: "The population is lost, the grain and grass are scarce, the fierce beasts are reckless, and the army is weakening day by day. The morale is gone, and the rest of the princes are exhausted, what hope is there? Although I Cao Mengde is ambitious, I also know the general trend. Rather than letting the people who follow me die together, it is better to hand it over to Li Chongxiao. Integrate forces. I believe that Li Chongxiao is the only one who has the ability to turn the tide in this world! Wen Ruo, I'm not afraid of death, and you are not afraid of death, but I saw the territory fall. The people are dying, the soldiers are dying, and there is no meaning, so why bother? ”

Cao Cao really saw it.

Guo Jia knew that clear eyes. It can't be faked. He knew Cao Cao, and he knew that it was the only option.

The mountains and rivers are exhausted, and it is not a lie.

Not to mention the exhaustion of all kinds of materials, not to mention the death of the people under his rule, the migration of migration, nor how strict the battle damage of the army was, but only to say that Cao Cao commanded the army. At least seventy or eighty percent of people are panicked.

If Cao Cao doesn't make a decision, it is certain that these people will definitely abandon Cao Cao.

When the time comes, the people will rebel and leave. That's the real despair.

Rather than that, it's better to go with the flow.

Seeing this, Guo Jia and Xun Yu glanced at each other and bowed slightly.

Guo Jia said: "Lord, I don't think that Li Chongxiao looks like a brutal person, he won't mess around." Now that the lord has made a decision. So"

Cao Cao nodded and said, "Pass the order." Make my decision public and make all preparations. ”

"Obey!"

Like Cao Cao. made the right choice, as well as Sun Ce, Liu Xuan, Liu Biao, and Tao Qian. As for Liu Bei, this person lives under Tao Qian, and this time, as a prince, he sent someone to meet Li Zheng, if it was in normal times, Tao Qian would have made a move, but now there is no need.

It's all here, what's the matter? You will become someone else's courtier!

As for Yuan Shao, he suddenly died at this juncture!

After Xu You and the five hundred Golden Winged Tigers rode back to Lunu in Zhongshan Kingdom, Yuan Shao died in the bedroom that night. How to die, everyone is silent.

In an instant, all the military forces under his command surrendered to the Liangzhou side.

Gongsun Chan also simply tightened, and immediately expressed his submission - he really couldn't support it anymore.

As for Liu He and Xian Yufu, after waiting for Tian Chou to return, they immediately expressed their surrender without discussion. Their situation is even more miserable than that of the rest of the princes!

Because the beast plague spread northward along the coastline, it actually landed from the north, and the Wuhuan people couldn't bear it from both sides, so they had to surrender with Xian Yufu and others. And after getting the news, he immediately arranged for the relocation and prepared to enter the territory of the state.

The really strange thing is Yuan Shu.

When Yang Hong and the five hundred Golden Winged Tigers rode to Runan Pingyu and told what they had seen and heard and Li Zheng's request, Yuan Shu didn't think about it and immediately refused.

Then the whimsical one wants to build the country and ascend the throne as the emperor!

At the moment, the people rebelled and left.

Yuan Shu himself took a jade seal and ascended the throne in the palace to claim the throne, but the civil and military forces under his command ignored it, divided their labor, and prepared for the surrender of Li Zheng

"Pathetic, sad."

Tian Feng shook his head again and again.

After learning about Yuan Shu's actions, there were only these two words left to describe.

"That's fine," Li Zheng smiled: "If he dies himself, he won't have to work hard." ”

Saying that, Li Zheng said to Xun You: "Gongda, how did I explain to the forging center a few days ago?" ”

"It should be done in general." Xun You replied: "Now under the rule of the lord, there are more than 6 million registered households in Liangzhou, Yizhou, Guanzhong, and Bingzhou, totaling more than 21.25 million. Counting the surrender of the princes and the number of people who were incorporated into the country, it would not have exceeded 33 million. In the past half month, the forging center has been working day and night, forging a total of 35 million copies, which must be enough. ”

Li Zheng nodded slightly: "Let the forging center produce another five million copies to ensure that nothing goes wrong." ”

Xun You nodded yes.

"How's the preparation for the introduction of people from all over the world?" Li Zheng asked again.

"It's all set." Xun You replied.

"Okay, let's get started."

"Yes!"

Xun You, Xi Zhicai, Tian Feng, and Jia Xu got up together and took the order

"Is this Yizhou?"

Sun Ce looked at the bumper harvest scene in front of him in a daze, his eyes were a little distracted.

Since deciding to surrender Li Zheng, Sun Ce suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. I nested in a small place with Liu Xuan all day long, listening to how many people had died all day long. How long can the grain and grass last, and other desperate things, almost made him schizophrenic.

In the final analysis, Sun Ce was more of a martial artist than a politician.

After arranging all the retreats. Sun Ce led the remaining thousands of soldiers and horses, together with Liu Xuan, to escort hundreds of thousands of people out of Yuzhang, enter Jingnan, cross Changsha County, and reach Wuling County. Then go north to Nanjun, to Yufu at the junction with Yizhou, and be led by the Liangzhou Navy and enter the territory of Yizhou.

This journey can be described as a trek through mountains and rivers, and there are many crises.

Along the way, encounter a situation where fierce beasts attack. It's too much to count. By the time the fish recovered, there were only two or three thousand soldiers and horses left under Sun Ce's command, and nearly half of the hundreds of thousands of people had been folded!

This road can be described as the road of flesh and blood!

But there is no way, Sun Ce can't help it, and Li Zheng can't help it.

Hundreds of thousands of people, except by land. There was no other way to move it into Li Zheng's territory.

When they arrived at Yufu, they encountered a wave of fierce beasts attacking the military port and the fortresses on both sides of the river from the river. Everybody saw it, in the middle of the river. Hundreds of beasts, large and small, gathered together to attack the military port and the fortresses along the coast.

On the river surface of the military port, more than a dozen layers of metal fences have been erected! Each of these metal strips is thigh-thick. Woven into a net, it stretched across the river, blocking the way of the beast from the river.

On both sides of the coast are tall and fortified fortresses. A dense mass of catapults and bed crossbows, firing huge stones and crossbow arrows all the time. I saw a stream of scarlet surging in the river.

The fierce beast was not afraid of death, and rushed to both sides of the strait. Especially the guys who are huge. Some of them jumped up from the river and slammed into the walls of those fortresses, making a deafening sound.

Half an hour later, all the beasts died on the river.

Immediately, a large metal warship with a length of twenty or thirty zhang sailed out of the military port and transported Sun Ce and others to the military port in batches.

When Sun Ce was on the warship, he kept looking at it, and he was very curious about this kind of metal warship. At the same time, he also saw the pig dragoon cruising around the warship.

This kind of famous but never-before-seen war horse!

After everyone entered the military port, the army was separated from the people and their ordnance was collected. Then, escorted by a team of soldiers, he entered the Yufu City.

After entering the city, these beggar-like immigrants were changed and bathed, and then the people were arranged by the official government system, and the army was immediately sent to the Baishui River.

And important figures such as Sun Ce and Liu Miao temporarily rested in Yufu City for a day, and the next day they went north to Liangzhou to see Li Zheng.

The next day, sitting on the giant beast cart, Sun Ce saw the scene of a bumper harvest that could not be seen at a glance - the ripe ginseng rice was endless, like a sea of gold!

The peasants on the avenue drove horse-drawn carts, which were filled with ginseng rice the size of a little thumb belly, and the quiet sound wafted in the air, which was so tempting!

In the ridges of the fields, the peasants fiddled with some equipment that they had never seen before, and it was in full swing.

These peasants all showed joy on their faces, all of them were full of red light, and this qiē qiē scene caused everyone in the car to lose their minds.

After a long time, they sighed one after another

Sun Ce and Liu Miao finally arrived in Lingzhou, and before them, Cao Cao, Tao Qian, Liu Bei, Gongsun Zhan, Liu He, Xian Yufu, Liu Biao, and Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's Wenwu all arrived in Lingzhou early and were arranged to live temporarily in Jiuzhou City.

came early, and during this time, almost the entire Jiuzhou City and Lingzhou were visited.

He also had an in-depth understanding of the various policies under Li Zheng's rule.

At the same time, these princes, who were originally hostile to each other or calculating with each other, became friends during this time.

The creation of it is indescribable.

Shenzhou grassland, in Li Zheng's study.

All the important ministers gathered here.

Xun You, Jia Xu, Xi Zhicai, Tian Feng, Xun Shuang, Xun Yan, Zhou Lin and so on gathered together.

Li Zheng sat upright, looking at all the important ministers with red faces, and his face also showed a relaxed and joyful expression.

"Now that all the princes from all over the country have arrived in Lingzhou, the people from all over the country and the army under the command of the princes have a total of nearly 10 million people, and they still need to be carefully resettled so as not to have any problems."

Xun You replied with a smile: "My lord, please rest assured." Although there were quite a few people, they were well prepared. Officials at all levels are ready to make arrangements with ease. ”

Li Zheng bowed slightly, and said, "With such a sudden increase in population under the rule of the People's Republic of China, is the land enough to be distributed?" ”

"Not enough." Xun Yan replied. Xun Yan is the head of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, responsible for relocating the people and allocating land.

"We have a resolution in the Ministry of Civil Affairs." Xun Yan continued: "Now that Yi, Liang, and the three prefectures and the four places of Guanzhong, the idle land, according to the customary distribution plan, can accommodate up to five million people!" That is, there are still almost five million people who are landless. Therefore, after deliberation, the Civil Department decided to open up the wasteland! ”

Li Zheng bowed slightly: "Yes, it is necessary to open up wasteland." I agreed to this proposal. (To be continued)
