Longxi County, Liangzhou, the door of a down-and-out family, is surrounded by dozens of player lords and thousands of free players.

A strong man with a body of more than eight feet, a burly look, and a majestic nose walked out of the room, not understanding why this group of strangers took the initiative to come to the door.

The player lord led by the player lord stood up to negotiate with this strong man: "In Xia Xu Fengnian, he is the leader of the aliens. When there was a great chaos today, the Qiang people hijacked Bian Zhang and Han Sui to make trouble, and the momentum was huge, and the imperial court was powerless to suppress it, allowing the thieves to make trouble in Xiliang and Guanzhong, and the lives were ruined. After Your Excellency came to the aid of General Fubo, how could you sit idly by! ”

"I'm just a puppet now, you can find someone else."

"The prince will have a kind of Xiangning! Your Excellency and I join forces, we will exterminate the rebellious Qiang people, pacify Bian Zhang, Han Sui, and then occupy Xiliang, observe the situation in the world, and wait for the opportunity to move, then great things can be accomplished, why do you need to be a country village husband here, insult the ancestral lintel! ”

Lord Xu Fengnian's words were deafening, and Ma Teng fell into deep thought.

"Dad, who are these people?"

A boy less than ten years old followed Ma Teng's side, looking at the group of strangers who visited suspiciously.

Dozens of player lords and thousands of freelancers looked at this teenager with burning eyes.

Ma Teng's son, Ma Chao, once he grows up, will be a fierce general at the level of the Five Tiger Generals!

They came to ask Ma to vacate the mountain, most likely to get Ma Chao!

Of course, there are also Ma Tie, Ma Xiu, and Ma Yunlu......

Ma Teng stroked Ma Chao's hair with his generous hand: "We are going to intervene in this troubled world." ”

Lord Xu Fengnian bowed his hand to Ma Teng: "Believe me, we can become the king of Xiliang." ”

Western Liang was in chaos, and the Qiang and rebels marched from Liangzhou to Guanzhong, but Liangzhou still had a large number of prefectures and counties controlled by the Han Dynasty's assassins and county guards. The county guards of the ten counties of Liangzhou recruited troops, either to support the Han family, to resist the rebels, or to support their own troops. The rebels, Han army, and player lords are mixed, and the situation is unknown.

Some of the lords of Longxi County supported Ma Teng to become the nominal alliance leader, and they quickly gathered tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.

"Xiliang and Guanzhong are in chaos, completely chaotic! The lords of the two places raised troops and fought, and a large number of lords defected to Ma Teng and Han Sui, forming a separatist force! ”

"Dong Zhuo hasn't risen at this time, right? Ma Teng and Han Sui raised troops, I don't know if Dong Zhuo still has a chance to become bigger. ”

"I heard that many players have taken refuge in Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo is now serving as Huangfu Song's deputy general, and there are free players to give advice to Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo has recruited Hua Xiong, Li Ru and other subordinates, his power has swelled very much, and he is not weaker than Ma Teng and Han Sui. ”

"Idiot, how can they take refuge in Dong Zhuo? After Dong Zhuo becomes bigger, before Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Liu Bei, and Sun Jian develop, who can stop Dong Zhuo's soldiers? ”

"At first, they wanted to support Huangfu Song to occupy Guanzhong, but Huangfu Song was loyal to the Han family, so the player gave up. No one believed that Huangfu Song could restore the Han dynasty. Instead of taking refuge in Huangfu Song, it is better to take refuge in the ambitious Dong Zhuo. Although Dong Zhuo's methods are rude, he is still good to some of his subordinates, as long as he does not provoke Dong Zhuo's women. ”

"I think they take refuge in Dong Zhuo because of the body of Diao Chan, or the body of Lu Bu......"

"There are really people who have taken refuge in Diao Chan's stepfather, Wang Yun."

“……”

As soon as Chu Tian returned to Xia Town, he learned a series of shocking news.

After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Qiang people in Xiliang rebelled again, threatening Sanfu and Luoyang. Moreover, Ma Teng raised troops at the instigation of players in Longxi County.

Unconsciously, two of the thirteen states are already on fire.

Comparatively speaking, Xuzhou has been stable under the governance of Thorn Shi Taoqian.

There is a delicate balance between Tao Qian, Kong Rong, and Taishan thieves.

The history of "Lords" is a little different from the real history, and it is not the real history.

At this time in history, Kong Rong had not yet seized the Beihai Kingdom, but in "Lord", Kong Rong had already entered the Beihai Kingdom, which was as much in line with the common sense of most players as possible. In addition, there is a lack of historical records of the county guards in various places.

"Liangzhou and Guanzhong were in turmoil, Bingzhou was invaded by the Xiongnu, and Youzhou was threatened by the Xianbei, Wuhuan, and Goryeo civilization areas, which were all places rich in war horses. It seems that the lords of these places are not having a good time either. ”

Chu Tian couldn't help but rejoice that he could expand his territory in Xuzhou at his own pace, without passively getting involved in the war.

"The spring offensive is progressing faster than we thought, and the fiscal crisis has been tentatively resolved. What are you going to do next? ”

After Xia Liang came back from Chutian, he immediately came to count the loot with the account book, and used the loot to make up for Xia Zhen's financial deficit, repay Qianzhuang's loans, and have a surplus.

Chu Tian turned his head to Fang Xuanling, who managed the household registration, and asked, "How many people are there in Xia Town now?" ”

Fang Xuanling has an excellent memory, and replied casually: "There are 3,121 households and 14,017 people. ”

Chu Tian really has to consider the next strategy: "Draw the population from the seven towns and thirty-one villages that have just been conquered to supplement Xia Town, and draw five out of ten households." ”

There are a total of 35,140 people and 7,721 households in the three villages of seven towns and 31 villages, and Chutian transferred half of the population to Xia Town, so that the population of Xia Town increased to more than 40,000 at once.

Fang Xuanling reminded Chu Tian: "The relocation of half of the population of the seven northern towns to Xia Town will lead to the emptiness of the north, and the people's morale and public order in Xia Town will drop significantly. ”

"That's it."

Chu Tian also knew that forcibly increasing the population of Xia Town would bring a large number of negative effects. The people of the Seven Towns in the North, who had just been conquered, did not yet recognize the rule of Xia Town.

But the plundering of the population is undoubtedly the fastest way to develop the territory.

In order to reach the city level as soon as possible, Chu Tian could only take fierce medicine. As for the negative impact, it would be good to find a way to calm it down later.

What Fang Xuanling provided was just advice, and it was Chutian who really made the decision.

Hua Mulan led the cavalry to various villages and towns to forcibly ask them to move, and for a time the hearts of the people in the seven northern towns fell greatly.

The people of the Eastern Han Dynasty relocated to their land and were reluctant to migrate, but in the face of the sharp saber, they finally chose to give in and were moved to Xia Town.

The people's morale and law and order in Xia Town dropped from 90 to about 70 because of the second large number of immigrants moving in.

Chutian was not in a hurry, and resettled these townspeople who were forced to move into Xia Town, repaired their houses extensively, and arranged jobs.

Li Kui led them to reclaim farmland outside Xia Town, and then distributed farmland, and the cultivators had their fields.

The farmland of these new townspeople in their original villages and towns has been taken over by the government, and this year's harvest will still be shared with them.

Chutian concentrated the population, food, and money in the southern part of Kaiyang County, so that even if the land in the northern part was lost in the future, it would not have a huge impact on Xia Town.

A town with a population of 40,000 is firmly in control, and it is easier to gather troops than scattered villages and towns, because Xia Town alone can maintain two or three thousand soldiers and horses.
