The four counties of Jingnan are valued in Changsha.

Although it can't be compared with Nanyang County and Nanjun in Jingbei, Changsha County is still outstanding among the four southern counties.

The other Lingling and Guiyang are all barren lands, as for Wuling...... By default, it is a place to pacify the barbarians.

Historically, Liu Bei borrowed the four counties of Jingnan, plus the southern part of Nanjun, but he did not pay it back, and when the two sides were arguing, Dongwu only mentioned the three counties of Lingling, Guiyang and Changsha, and never mentioned Wuling County.

Wuling County is actually connected to the Nanzhong region in the south of Yizhou, although it belongs to Yizhou and Jingzhou, but in fact it is the scope of activities of Nanzhongman and Wulingman, just like Shanyue and Wuxi people in Zhangling and Guiyang.

There are only a few counties in the north, which are quite prosperous - the former seat of Jingzhou Thorn History was in the north of Wuling, and these counties were stationed to deal with Nanzhongman, or Wulingman.

Liu Pan, the governor of Jingnan, has a nominal official position, which is also the Taishou of Changsha, the same as Sun Jian during his lifetime.

For Liu Pan, the really important scope is also Changsha and the northern part of Wuling.

Since the General's Mansion is bypassed from the south, it is already a great success to be able to defend against the enemy in Guiyang.

However...... In April of the fifth year of Jian'an, Shamoke initially integrated the Wuxi people and led the Wuxi barbarian army into the Jingnan battlefield, symbolizing the complete end of Liu Pan's defense in Guiyang.

Liu Pan accepted Han Xuan's suggestion, or "steps", and retreated the defense line to Changsha.

In this way, it has caused the situation that the Wuxi people have penetrated deep into the Hanmin county, and once there is any conflict between the Wuxi people and the local Hanmin, it will cause a contradiction between the general's mansion and the Wuxi people!

This trick was also inadvertently used by Liu Pan when he quelled the rebellion in the four counties of Jingnan......

At that time, Liu Pan was at war with the Jingnan Shi clan led by the Zhang clan in Changsha, and the latter led Wuxi Man north to support because of his lack of strength, but because he could not restrain Wuximan's behavior, not only the people of Guiyang and Changsha were miserable, but even several Shi clans were deeply affected, so he stabbed Zhang twice.

And the army of the General's Mansion is from the land of Wuling, even if Guiyang County is given up, the other party's grain route is also very difficult, as long as Guiyang County can't produce grain this year, either the lone army of the General's Mansion in Jingnan will be dragged to death, or ...... The General's Mansion was dragged to death in order to support this lone army!

Jingbei is also at war, so does the General's Mansion really have so much food to waste on transporting grain from the land of Wuling?

Similarly, once the food is cut off, it will also further promote the instability of the Wuxi barbarians......

Han Xuan was well aware of this principle, so he suggested that Liu Pan should not fight for the gains and losses of one county and one place, and return directly to Changsha.

Of course, the more important reason is also ...... Can't beat it.

With the experience of the previous Jingnan rebellion, Guiyang is not bad if the city wall is not demolished, and naturally it will not be reinforced.

Jingnan has always been a frequent place of "looking at the wind and descending".

In the history without the "White Rabbit Effect" (White Map Effect), when Cao Cao went south, the four counties of Jingnan and Liu Cong surrendered together, and after Cao Cao was defeated, the four counties of Jingnan surrendered to Liu Bei again, and when Lü Meng attacked Jingzhou, Changsha and Guiyang directly descended to Eastern Wu......

Originally, I thought that the 20,000 people in the General's Mansion were alone in the depths, as long as they could withstand a few rounds, the other party would be powerless sooner or later, but they didn't expect that the Wuxi people would actually intervene at this time.

Although the combat effectiveness of the Wuxi people on the flat land is not as good as that of the Han army, it fills the emptiness of the general's mansion, which is popularly said...... Being cannon fodder is at least competent!

In this way, Liu Pan also accepted Han Xuan's "steps", returned to Changsha County in the north, and prepared to hold Changsha and several counties in the north of Wuling.

Before leaving, I didn't forget to cut the seedlings......

It's only April, even with the climate of Jingnan, the rice has not yet matured, at least it will have to wait for another month or two, but it is impossible to fight back this year anyway, people don't eat to feed horses, horses don't eat fire, and they can't leave the army of the General's Mansion!

As for the people?

Naturally, it will be handed over to the General's Mansion for relief.

Because of the rebellion of the scholars in the four counties of Jingnan before, they were hit hard by Liu Biao, so the resistance of the wealthy families of the folk family to Jingzhou Mansion was also very small.

The Nanjun Shi clan cooperated with Liu Biao precisely to reap the benefits of the other counties in Jingzhou, and Nanyang County and Jingzhou have always been incompatible, and they were originally Yuan Shu's lair, so the four counties of Jingnan were their main targets.

Liu Pan left Guiyang with people to eat and take, and compared with Yuan Shu, what was better was that Liu Pan did not do anything when he overdrafted manpower, let alone entered the city to loot.

First, Liu Pan wanted to face, and secondly, it was the general's mansion's pursuit of Yuan's relics, which played a deterrent role.

Zhang Liao brought only 20,000 troops, and now there are 15,000 wounded, and he does not dare to let the Wuxi people enter the city defense, and it is very reluctant to control the more than 20 counties of Guiyang and Lingling, and he is unable to enter Changsha.

The White Tiger Department led by Shamoke, as well as other vassal departments, totaled 30,000 barbarians, and was always stationed in the same county town as Zhang Liao's 5,000 main forces and Gao Shun's 3,000 camps.

Although Shamoke considered himself to be the general of Han Zhennan and the pacification envoy of the general's mansion in Nanzhong, he ...... Military discipline is not something that can be placed in a day-by-day manner, and it is easy to expect these barbarians not to disturb the people, and it is expected that they can consciously not disturb the people when no one is watching...... That's a bit too demanding.

The purpose of Zhang Liao and Chen Gong has also been achieved - there are Guiyang County and Lingling County as the rest stop of the "end point", and the General's Mansion can send troops over in a steady stream.

It's just that the army marches from the land of Wuling, don't think how efficient it is, and the long-distance combat can't eat the local food, and the consumption of military food is also very terrifying.

Don't look at the distance from Zhangling to Guiyang, the distance is not as far as Zhangling to Jinling, but because it is full of mountains, hills, and forests, the consumption of military food is three or four times that - more than 30,000 stone of military food, transported to Guiyang County, after removing the consumption, can only reach 10,000 stone!

This is still a mountain cart improved by Huang Yueying, otherwise the consumption will be higher.

The truth here is indeed the same as what Han Xuan and Liu Pan expected and expected.

But what they don't know is......

Now Yangzhou not only has increased its yield per mu by nearly 30 percent compared with five years ago, but also the area of cultivated land has not decreased but increased, especially the fields of Juntun and Guantun have opened up a lot, and this part of the mu output is all filled with military funds.

At the same time, there are Jiangdong salt and sugar, soft glass, Jiangdong brocade and other sharp weapons, but also can siphon grain from other regions into Yangzhou.

If Yangzhou's grain output is not controlled, grain prices will have already fallen back to the level before the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

At that time, the grain merchants of the Shi clan will naturally not go to other places to buy grain and transport it back, and each stone of grain will be transported from the Central Plains to Yangzhou, at least a few hundred dollars, what do you want?

After all, in other regions, grain prices are rising, but grain should be poured out of Yangzhou!

However, it can't stand the white sugar and rock sugar produced by Yanyin and Guanfang, as well as Gan's Jiangdong Jin, etc., are all grain-based, and it is true that Yangzhou's breeding industry is more developed and needs more feed, which increases the consumption of grain, and forcibly stabilizes grain prices, especially salt, as well as the preferential price of "imported grain", which greatly makes Yangzhou operate like a grain suction machine.

With the recovery of the commodity economy, Bai Tu has long wanted to make the currency "hard" again, but he can't let go of the grain now, so he has to put it aside for the time being, and wait until the grain output is completely stable, and then support the five baht money......
