Chapter 220: The Fragrance of Plum Blossoms Comes from the Bitter Cold (1)

Linyu County is not a large county with a population of about 20,000.

The population distribution of the five counties in western Liaoning is very uneven, except for the county Zhiyangle, which has a population of more than 30,000, and among the other four counties, only Feiru and Linyu have a population of about 20,000. For example, the combined population of Bintu and Tuhe counties is less than 20,000.

In addition, Guzhu City has a population of 1,300 households, about 7,000 people.

This is also the total population of Liaoxi County......

The area of western Liaoning is very large, and the fertile soil is thousands of miles. However, because of the climate and environment, the whole county of Liaoxi looks very desolate.

In addition, the strength of Xianbei, Karasuma and other foreign races is strong, which also makes it difficult for Liaoxi to develop.

Liucheng, which is governed by Liaoxi, but gathers more than 100,000 Karasuma people, is the largest force in Liaoxi.

After the death of the former Karasuma-sama Qiu Liju, he passed on the position of Karasuma-sama to the sub-son. This is a great deal of martial arts, and he has three parts of Liaoxi Karasuma, and his reputation is extraordinary. At the beginning of Jian'an, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Chan were indecisive, so Ban Dun took the opportunity to send an envoy to Yuan Shao to make peace, and then sent troops to attack Gongsun Zhan. The reason why he wanted to help Yuan Shao was also because when Gongsun Chan was in Youzhou, his attitude towards Karasuma and Xianbei was extremely tough, which made Karasuma quite suppressed. After uniting with Yuan Shao, he defeated Gongsun Zhan, and Badun even won the name of Dadanyu and was awarded the seal ribbon by Yuan Shao, so that his prestige and strength in Liaoxi suddenly surpassed others.

Qiu Liju also has a son named Lou Ban.

At the beginning, before Qiu Liju died, because Lou Ban was still young, he passed on the position of Karasuma-sama to Bunton.

But now that Lou Ban has grown up, the prestige of Bang Dun is getting higher and higher. It will be extremely difficult for Lou Ban to take the position of Karasuma-sama from the hands of Bunton. Fortunately, Qiu Liju has a subordinate and a group of cronies. Among them, especially represented by Su Muyan and Nanlou, who were entrenched in the subject state of Liaodong, supported the building class and formed their own line in the subject country of Liaodong. Although on the surface, Su Muyan and Nanlou surrendered to Badun, everyone knew that Su Muyan and Nanlou were loyal to Lou Ban, and they could be regarded as face-to-face and heart-to-heart, not very harmonious.

"It's just that there are three generals in Badun, and there is the support of Wuyan, the king of Khanlu.

Na Wuyan led more than 800 people, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and a population of nearly 100,000 people, which is also a force in the jurisdiction of western Liaoning, second only to Liucheng Badun. Although Su Muyan and Nanlou were entrenched in the subject state of Liaodong, they were restrained by all parties and it was difficult to confront Badun. ā€

Lu Fang talked eloquently and gave Liu Chuang a detailed introduction to the situation in the entire western Liaoning.

Since he was ordered to come to Liaoxi in the second year of Jian'an, he quickly gained a foothold in Guzhu City.

With the gold and silver in his hands, he obtained a large amount of land.

In Elfang's own words, he controlled nearly sixty percent of the land in Guzhu City, and quickly established prestige in western Liaoning.

With the bravery of Pei Wei Changsheng and others, coupled with Elfang's boldness and exquisiteness, he has a good reputation in the local area. It is precisely for this reason that he is very familiar with the situation in western Liaoning, and even the situation of the entire four counties and one subject country in eastern Liao......

In this migration, if it weren't for Elfang gaining a firm foothold in Guzhu City, Liu Chuang would not have been able to gain a foothold in Linyu so easily.

Even after Zhang Liao seized Feiru and occupied Lu Longsai, he relied on Elfang to throw money to calm things down. Now that the new Liaoxi Taishou Chun Yuqiong has not yet taken office, the officials of Liaoxi are still not very clear about the situation because they are in Yangle County, which is outside the Guan. It can be said that Liu Chuang's migration this time, Lu Fang can be said to have made the first contribution, so that Liu Chuang can take the two counties in Guannei along the way, and he has taken the initiative. Otherwise, Liu Chuang's migration to western Liaoning, even in the Linyu region, would be hindered by many obstacles.

"In this way, Yuan Benchu's control over the four counties of Liaodong does not seem to be clever."

Lu Fang said: "The four counties of Liaodong are lonely and have not been valued by Yuan Shao...... There are Gongsun clans in Liaodong, while Xuansu County and Lelang County have been in chaos due to Goguryeo's attack. As for Liaoxi, it is where Karasuma is rooted. In addition, Yuan Shao and Badun were reconciled, so they indulged in Badun a lot, making him wreak havoc in western Liaoning. Including the subject state of Liaodong, Yuan Shao's control over it has never been strong. ā€

Speaking of this, Elfang suddenly remembered something.

"Since Liu Yu's death, Liaoxi has not set up a taishou.

Previously, Yuan Shao had made Liu He, the son of Liu Yu, fake Liaoxi Taishou, but Liu He never controlled Liaoxi, and never even came to Liaoxi.

If it weren't for Gongzi's migration to Liaoxi this time, maybe Yuan Shao would have forgotten about it...... Only then did he hurriedly order Chun Yuqiong to serve as the Taishou of Liaoxi. However, according to my inquiry, although Chun Yuqiong was born as the eighth lieutenant of Xiyuan, he was indeed a straw bag. If it weren't for his deep friendship with Yuan Shao, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to do today's position. Yuan Shao appointed him as the Taishou of Liaoxi in March, but now it is May, and he has not yet appeared. ā€

Chun Yuqiong?

Liu Chuang scoffed, revealing disdain.

He is no stranger to this name.

This guy used to be Xiahou Lan's superior, but he was jealous of his talents, and he liked to snatch the credit of the trilogy, and he was narrow-minded.

Although Liu Chuang reprimanded Xia Houlan at the beginning, to be honest, he couldn't look at Chun Yuqiong. Cause? In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, there are records about Chun Yuqiong. When this guy was stationed in the black nest, he was greedy for wine and made a mistake, and as a result, he was attacked by Cao Cao.

Liu Chuang still remembers the TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Chun Yuqiong was full of fat and drunk!

No, if Chun Yuqiong is the Taishou of Liaoxi, who will guard the Wuchao during the Battle of Guandu?

If Cao Cao can't surprise the black nest, doesn't it mean that there will be variables in the battle of Guandu?

Thinking of this, Liu Chuang's face suddenly became cloudy, and he sat on the couch chair and muttered...... seems to be the best of Chun Yuqiong, and it may be difficult to find a second one under Yuan Shao's account. No, Chun Yuqiong must not be allowed to stay in Liaoxi, it is better to let him go to guard the black nest.

"Meng Yan?"

"Ah......h

Seeing Liu Chuang's uncertain face, Lu Bu couldn't help but speak.

Liu Chuang came to his senses at this time, and when he looked up and saw that everyone was looking at him, he couldn't help but blush, revealing a look of surprise.

"I just remembered something with a companion, so I lost my mind a little, and I ask you to forgive me."

After speaking, he looked at Elfang, "Zifang, what did you just say?" ā€

Seeing Liu Chuang's embarrassed look, everyone couldn't help but laugh.

Lu Fang didn't care, on the contrary, his respect for Liu Chuang has become stronger and stronger since Liu Chuang broke into Xu Capital alone. I think that when Liu Chuang arranged for him to come to Liaoxi, Elfang was not particularly happy. In his impression, in the bitter cold land of western Liaoning, Liu Chuang sent him over, just like exile. But as he gained a foothold in western Liaoning, his thoughts changed. Especially when Liu Chuang's prophecy evolved step by step into reality! Lu Fang also respected Liu Chuang more and more. It can be said that since he came to Liaoxi, every change has evolved into a fact according to Liu Chuang's deduction. This also shows Liu Chuang's forward-looking, and it also shows that Liu Chuang's vision is unusual. Now that I think about it, it is indeed a good thing for my little sister to marry Liu Chuang.

Although Liu Chuang still does not have a stable foundation, he can expect that Liu Chuang will definitely dominate Liaodong in the future......

This is the real prince!

"Lord, I just said that there is a sage in Lonely Bamboo City, who can be of great use."

"Who!"

"I don't know the lord, have you heard of Yan Rou's name?"

"Yan Rou?"

When Liu Chuang heard this name, he couldn't help but be stunned, feeling that this name was very familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

"Yan Rou's character Bozheng is originally from Guangyang County.

This man was captured by Karasuma and the Xianbei people when he was a teenager, but he was very trusted by Karasuma Xianbei...... And this person is loyal to the Han family! After Gongsun Chan killed Youzhou Mu Liu Yu, Yan Rou colluded with Xianbei and confronted Gongsun Zhan. Later Gongsun Zan was trapped in Yijing, Yuan Shao originally planned to recruit this person, but he refused, and left Guangyang County with his younger brother to settle in Guzhu City. This man is brave and strategic...... Moreover, he is good at Soma, and he is proficient in Xianbei Karasuma and even Goguryeo and Fuyu dialects, which can be described as extremely talented.

After I established myself in Lonely Bamboo City, I often corresponded with it.

I still remember that he said to me again: Although I don't know where you came from, I have something to remind you: to base yourself in Liaodong, first seek Liaodong's vassal state. Then, with Liaodong's vassal countries left and right, he had the opportunity to get the four counties of Liaodong and gain a foothold in Liaodong. ā€

When Liu Chuang heard this, he was a chiller.

And Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi, Buqi and others also changed their faces.

"That Zifang, you must have been frightened at the time.

Xun Kuang couldn't help but laugh, which made the rest of the people laugh.

Everyone knows that Elk Fang is timid!

Elfang didn't think so, "Yuanyin, you don't want to make fun of me, if it's you, I'm afraid you will feel nervous if someone sees through your intentions...... You don't know how scared I was at that time, and even wanted Chang Sheng to do it with Pei Wei. But then I thought that since he made his words clear, it showed that he had no malicious intent. It is better to make friends with him than to make enemies with him. In the past two years, I have had a lot of guidance from him. ā€

When these words came out, even the elk felt surprised.

Who is your brother?

In my heart, I actually know very well.

Elfang is a bit of a fool, even extremely profitable. But in his bones, he has a sense of arrogance, and he can ask people for advice in a low voice, which means that this person has real talent and real learning. For a while, Mo said that the others were also interested in this Yan Rou.

Liu Chuang sat aside and was silent.

Yan Rou......

I remember!

This person did not appear in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, there are indeed relevant records. This person surrendered to Cao Cao after the Battle of Guandu, and contributed to Cao Cao's crusade against Karasuma. Cao Cao treated him like a son and made him sit in the north. Later, he also took over as the captain of Karasuma, commanding the soldiers and horses of Youzhou to fight against Karasuma...... After Cao Pi succeeded to the throne, this Yan Rouguan worshiped General Duliao.

Is Yan Rou really loyal to the Han family?

Liu Chuang is hard to say...... Because later, he took refuge in Cao Cao.

But there is one thing that Liu Chuang appreciates very much about this person, that is, his attitude towards foreign races is very tough.

Perhaps he later surrendered to Cao Cao because he saw clearly that the Han dynasty was gone. This is a smart man, and he is very flexible, otherwise how could he be captured by the Xianbei people and become a friend of the Xianbei people? Now that the general trend of the Han family has gone, it is reasonable for him to choose another master. But from the current point of view, Yan Rou still has confidence in the Han family, and has not lost the glimmer of hope for the prosperity of the Han family.

Is Liaodong a vassal state?

Liu Chuang suddenly turned his head and said in a deep voice, "Kong Ming." ā€

"Whoa!"

"I'll leave this matter to you to plan."

Zhuge Liang was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood what Liu Chuang meant, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

Of course he knew what Liu Chuang asked him to plan...... Liaodong vassal state, brother-in-law has already adopted that Yan Rou's construction yƬ and is determined to do something against Liaodong vassal country.

"Zhongda!"

"Whoa!"

Liu Chuang said in a deep voice: "You are the master of Liaodong, and you must know more about Liaodong."

If you want to understand Liaodong, you can't ignore the customs of Liaodong, and you need to have some people who are familiar with the local situation to help you act.

You will go to Lonely Bamboo City with Zifang tomorrow, and go to test that Yan Rou first.

But don't startle the snake, if this person is of great use, tell me immediately, don't be lazy. ā€

"Yi, understood."

Sima Yi bowed down to receive the order, and then retreated back to his original place.

"Long text."

"Whoa."

Liu Chuang pondered for a moment, and then said: "You are the envoy, and Yuan Yin is the deputy envoy...... The two of you will leave tomorrow and go to Liaodong to visit Gongsun Du and inquire about Gongsun Du's attitude. I guess Gongsun Du's attitude may not be particularly friendly, so you two should be mentally prepared. Now that we have just arrived, our foundation is not solid, so don't conflict with Gongsun Du for the time being. ā€

Chen Qun and Xun Kuang glanced at each other and understood Liu Chuang's intentions.

The two bowed and saluted: "Please rest assured, Qun (Kuang) understands." ā€

"Gentlemen!" Liu Chuang stood up from the couch chair, took a deep breath, and swept his gaze over everyone in the lobby.

In this lobby, almost all of Liu Chuang's team gathered.

Except for Zhang Liao, Cao Xing, Wei Yue, and Zheng Ren, who were unable to come because they had to garrison Feiru, Lu Longsai, and Guzhu City respectively, almost all the rest were above this hall.

The generals include Tai Shici, Huang Zhong, Gan Ning, Shi Lian, Xu Chu, Gao Shun, Xu Sheng and others; Wenchen included Chen Gong, Bu Qi, Lu Dai, Chen Qun, Chen Jiao, Dai Qian, Lu Zhu, Lu Fang and other talents. In addition, there are Pang De Duji, who followed Liu Chuang from Xudu this time, and Sima Yi Zhuge Liang. The full Tang Dynasty was full of civil and military affairs, which also made Liu Chuang's heart full of pride! With this team, great things can be expected.

"We abandoned the foundation of Donglai County in Beihai Country and crossed the sea from Qingzhou to this bitter cold land.

Although it was a last resort, I thought it was not an opportunity for us. Now, the decisive battle of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao is imminent, and this battle will last for many years, and it is also the best opportunity for our development. The Han family is declining, and the hope of ZTE is in Zhujun. This Youzhou is known as a bitter cold place, but it is a place where the world's elite soldiers gather. Liaodong and Liaoxi are sparsely populated! But the land is vast and fertile, and we have a lot of opportunities. When those princes are treacherous and deceitful, we can expand our territory in Liaodong and promote our heroic style.

In the past, Emperor Wen recuperated, and the rule of Wenjing created Emperor Wu's great martial arts.

Now, we are going to raise my Han vitality in this bitter cold place...... I believe that it won't be long before we can go south to the Central Plains, support the Han Dynasty, and kill Xiaoxiao. Gentlemen, I have a dream, I dream that my big Han banner can be planted all over Yinshan. In the past, Chen Tang once had "those who offend me strongly", although they are far away, they will be punished, and they are heroic. I hope that it will not be long before we can turn that into reality.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is our best opportunity, and it is also where the last luck of the Han family lies.

Therefore, I hope that all the gentlemen can work together to fight to the death for my Han family...... A hundred years from now, our names will remain in history. ā€

These words make people's blood boil.

Everyone who can follow Liu Chuang and come across the sea has illusions about the Han family.

This is also the first time that Liu Chuang has exposed his ambitions...... But I have to say that his ambition is in line with everyone's thoughts.

"I'm waiting, I'm willing to smear the liver and brain for the Han family!"

Rough, majestic, gentle, immature......

When all the voices converged in one place, the smile on Liu Chuang's face became stronger.

"Since this is the case, the princes prepared their troops and horses, pacified the people, and reclaimed the wasteland...... I believe that it will not be long before Liaodong will become more lively. ā€

Liu Chuang ordered Lu Dai to step up, and Xu Yi, Huang Zhen and others began to arrange the affairs of Tuntian in the coming year, and ordered Tai Shici and others to step up the training of soldiers and horses. Although Liaoxi is still relatively calm, Liu Chuang believes that there will be war soon. Yuan Shao would never be willing to let Liu Chuang gain a firm foothold in western Liaoning. Although he is not good at doing it himself, he believes that with his relationship with the Karasuma people, he will have to come back to make trouble.

If you want to stabilize Liaoxi, the first thing to solve is the problem of Karasuma.

Liu Chuang knew very well in his heart that if he couldn't solve the problem, it would be difficult to gain a foothold in western Liaoning.

After sending everyone away, Liu Chuang felt a little tired.

fled all the way from Xudu, although he rested on the sea boat, but his spirit was always in a state of tension.

Finally arrived in Liaoxi and reunited with my friends. Liu Chuang's nervous feelings eased a lot, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It's just that he just wanted to go back to the back house to rest, but he saw Zhao Yun and Elk Yan walk in.

Some Zhao Yun is actually not a stranger.

At the beginning, Liu Bei led his troops to Xuzhou, and Zhao Yun rode for Liu Bei and followed Liu Bei. At that time, because of his admiration for Liu Bei, he often had contacts with Liu Bei. Therefore, it is reasonable for Zhao Yun and Elk to know each other. Zhao Yun is a proper newcomer, and after coming to Liaoxi, he knew how strong Liu Chuang's soldiers and horses were. Not to mention that the strong general may not be much inferior to him. And it seems that Tai Shi Ci Xu Chu Xu Sheng, which of these people did not follow Liu Chuang early in the morning, it can be said that they are old ministers.

In contrast, Zhao Yun's qualifications are a bit shallow.

When he saw the moose, his previous slightly frightened mood was suddenly improved.

Moose is Liu Chuang's brother-in-law, although his qualifications under Liu Chuang's account are not deep, but with his identity, he has gained a firm foothold.

"Zilong, Zizhong, why are you here?"

Mo Yu and Liu Chuang met first, and then said with a smile: "Zilong and I have known each other since we were in Xuzhou, and we can be regarded as old friends.

I didn't expect Meng Yan to be so capable, he actually brought Zilong here...... When I chatted with Zilong just now, I was quite ashamed. Especially me, who came to Meng Yan's account, has not made an inch of merit so far. However, when I was talking to Zilong just now, I suddenly remembered a person who recommended Yu Meng Yan. (To be continued.)
