Even if the Han army wanted to rebuild the cities, it would have to wait until the spring of the next year. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Jixian, Yuyang and Changli are the three largest cities in Youzhou, and due to the continuous war in the past five years, the population of these three cities has also been declining sharply, and now the Han army and refugees are stationed in these three cities, which is not too crowded.
It's just that the problem of grain and grass is becoming more and more acute and prominent, there is no shortage of houses in these three cities, what is lacking is food, besieged by the Xianbei people for more than two years, the grain and grass in the city are almost exhausted, and so many people are pouring in at once, the food supply in the city can no longer be described as tight, it is really no rice to cook.
Fortunately, Liu Yin's expedition to Youzhou this time, the army brought at least two months of food and grass needs, Liu Yin was worried that the road was far away, the weather was cold, and once the grain and grass fell into shortage, the army would be in trouble and could not help itself, so the Han army itself, the supply of grain and grass was no problem at all.
But now that there are more refugees and soldiers and civilians in the three cities, and the grain and grass carried by the Han army are facing the dilemma of insufficient, Liu Yin ordered to deduct half of the military rations of the Xindu garrison first, and quickly transport it to Youzhou.
At the same time, Liu Yin also issued grain raising targets to the counties of Jizhou and the counties of Bingzhou, which are close to Youzhou, and will subsequently requisition 500,000 grains and grass to Youzhou to solve Youzhou's urgent needs.
Once the problem of grain and grass is solved, the military and the people of the entire Youzhou will settle down, that is, now Ji Han has a strong national strength and a large land and abundant resources, so that the difficult situation in Youzhou can be maintained.
Murong Shegui finally miscalculated, he tried to use hundreds of thousands of refugees to drag down the Han army, but under Liu Yin's strategic scheduling, he survived this difficulty.
Spring returns to the earth, everything recovers, and in a blink of an eye, it is the second year of Ji Han's rejuvenation.
Under Liu Yin's recommendation, Liu Hong was appointed by the imperial court as the assassin of Youzhou, Yan Xun was appointed as the general of Duliao, and Zhang Hua was transferred by Liu Yin to Peng's subordinate and served as the prime minister of Yongwang.
Zhang Hua is the sixteenth grandson of Zhang Liang, a famous minister of the Han Dynasty, who is comprehensive and knowledgeable, far from the Emperor Xi, and the second master, among the ministers of the Western Jin Dynasty, only Yanghu can compare with it, calculate the power strategy, and strategize to win, is a rare talent. Zhang Hua was also on the wrong side in the Yanyu controversy that year, although he was not beheaded like the six gentlemen of Xianxi, but he was also belittled by Sima Yan and moved to Youzhou to make a long history.
Liu Yin, a talent like Zhang Hua, couldn't ask for it, so after he settled down in Youzhou, Liu Yin immediately let Zhang Hua take the position of Yongwang Xiang. All officials who have the power to open the government have their own subordinates, Liu Yin when he served as the big Sima, he had the power to open the house, but at that time, the highest position in the big Sima Peng's subordinates was only more than two thousand stones, after Liu Yin was promoted to the king of Yong, the status of the Peng subordinates also rose, the original Chen Shou, who served as the long history, rose to two thousand stones, and the chief military officer He Pan Du Zhen also became more than two thousand stones, and the highest Peng subordinate in the Yongwang Mansion was two thousand stones, which can be the same as Jiuqing. However, Yongwang has always been vacant, and this time when he arrived in Youzhou, Liu Yin let Zhang Hua take up this position, which shows Liu Yin's appreciation of Zhang Hua.
Now there are only three cities in Youzhou, but after the Xianbei people retreated, the entire Youzhou was all assigned to the territory of Ji Han, after the arrival of spring, the task of rebuilding Youzhou will be quite heavy, but this matter basically has nothing to do with Liu Yin, he has given full authority to Liu Hong to preside over the reconstruction of Youzhou, the required manpower, material and financial resources, naturally there is also the strong support of the Luoyang Imperial Court, I believe that it will not take two or three years, Youzhou can be restored to the original heyday.
Now Liu Yin's entire mind is on dealing with Xianbei people.
Murong She's return to the prairie does not mean that the world will be peaceful from now on, and there will be no more wars, in fact, it is the opposite, Murong Xianbei is like a cancer, if he can't eradicate it, after he accumulates strength again, he will invade the Central Plains again.
The Hu people in the north have always become the scourge of the Central Plains Dynasty, from the fundamental reason, that is, they can not cut the grass and eradicate the roots, as strong as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Cao Cao, although they have also achieved brilliant victories in the war against the Hu people, but they have not been able to eradicate these Hu people from the root, a Hu people have declined, and soon other Hu people will become stronger, threatening the security of the Central Plains Dynasty again.
When the Central Plains Dynasty was strong, the Northern Hu was relatively sluggish, and once the Central Plains fell into war or the dynasty declined, the Hu would take advantage of the situation to rise and invade the Central Plains.
This has almost become a dead knot, don't think that Wuhu Chaohua is the darkest period of the Chinese nation, in fact, it is just a beginning, from the Three Kingdoms after more than 1,800 years, the Central Plains Dynasty has been subverted by the northern Hu people countless times, from the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Turkic, Hui to Khitan, Jurchen, Mongolia, Manchuria, these strong northern iron hooves, roaring south again and again, bringing the Chinese nation, what a painful memory.
The Great Wall of China was built by successive Central Plains rulers in order to solve the northern troubles, but in fact, under the iron hooves of the Hu people, this defensive wall was useless, and it did not play a role in protecting the Central Plains Dynasty at all.
This is the evil result of passive defense, the enemy outside the country, the idea itself is very absurd, if the enemy is weak, this long wall is dispensable, if the enemy is strong, how can this long wall be stopped, the consequences of labor and money, is still unable to stop the fall of the Central Plains Dynasty.
Now Liu Yin is also standing at the crossroads, if according to the methods of the Central Plains Dynasty to deal with the Hu people, Liu Yin should accept it at this moment, and even repair the Great Wall left over from the Han and Wei dynasties in the north of Youzhou, so as to resist the invasion of the Hu people again in the future.
However, Liu Yin knew that this was useless, and if he wanted to truly solve the problem of the Hu people, he had to come up with a set of unique and effective methods to solve the scourge of the Hu people once and for all.
