Chapter 800: Economic Warfare
The reason why the tiger and leopard rider is so capable is that under the battle formation composed of thousands of people, although the cloud qi is not as strong as ten thousand people, the quality is even better, faintly transformed into the shape of a roaring tiger, under the suppression of this cloud qi, Xiahou Xuan's gang qi will be wiped out immediately once it is released.
And without the blessing of Gangqi, the combat power he can exert is indeed not comparable to that of a single soldier of the tiger and leopard cavalry, but the special problem is that this is an army of thousands of people, and the ghost will fight you alone!
Especially under the drive of the main general, although Cao Chun can't play the gangqi, he can use the method of consuming cloud qi to exert a super-level attack, although the consumption of cloud qi is not small, and it is difficult to replenish, but as a killer weapon, it definitely has the power to kill the general who is trapped in the formation.
In fact, in comparison, Liu Bei's 1,000 heavy armored cavalry is not as good as the 1,000 tigers and leopards ridden by his wife Cao, after all, the gap in the quality of the soldiers is too big, but ...... Liu Bei not only used 1,000 heavy armored cavalry, when his wife Cao Neng built a weapon armor equipped with 1,000 tiger and leopard cavalry, Liu Bei may already have 10,000 heavy armored cavalry.
……
A melee in the Central Plains involved the forces of Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, Liu Biao, and Zhang Ji, and it took more than half a year before it gradually calmed down, and finally formed a relatively stable situation.
Zhang Ji and Lu Bu's forces occupied the south of Heluo and Nanyang, and Liu Biao of Jingzhou was separated from the Xinye line in Nanyang to form a confrontation, under the control of Jia Xu behind the scenes, Zhang Ji communicated with Liu Biao several times, and finally reached a non-aggression agreement, and also served as Liu Biao's northern barrier, blocking peeps from the north, and Liu Biao opened Jingzhou's trade routes, and the two sides communicated with each other.
In fact, the last point is what Wang Xuan asked to add, after all, Zhang Jilu Bu, who has half of Nanyang's supply, is not short of grain and grass, and Jingzhou, which has always been stable, is a big market that Wang Xuan peeps at, salt, iron, cloth, wine, fish, and so on, there are too many things in Qingzhou that can't be digested at all, in order not to cause inventory backlog and unsalable, Wang Xuan must find a new market for the product.
For this reason, Wang Xuandu was already ready to trade with Yuan Shao......
In the face of money, the enemy does not exist at all.
Besides, Cao Cao, after continuing the entire Yanzhou, after the war, occupied Yingchuan County, Chen State, Liang State, Peiguo South, Lu State, as if half of Yuzhou was taken by it, and its strength increased significantly, known as the first male lord of the Central Plains, and talents from all walks of life in the world competed to vote, which can be described as unstoppable.
Of course, this is on the basis of deliberately ignoring the fiasco of Licheng and the four great generals who were almost killed by Lu Bu, but its strength beyond that of other princes can already compete with Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shu, the person who suffered the most losses this time, can be said to be one person who fired three guns, and Cao, Liu, and Zhang grew up eating his flesh and blood with a smile.
Yuan Shu, who was attacked by the three families, was stunned at once, and lost the land that was close to it, so he could only retreat sharply, retreating the center of his influence directly from Pingyu to Shouchun, Jiujiang County, and honestly licking his wounds.
Fortunately, there was the land of Jiujiang County laid by Sun Ce before, otherwise, Yuan Shu would not even be able to keep the land the size of a state for a while.
At this time, Sun Ce also occupied the entire Lujiang County and exterminated the Lu family, and only some of the Lu family's children and grandchildren returned their hometown Wu County.
As a result, the Central Plains region has entered a period of stable peace, needless to say, Yuan Shaozhi's strength is needless to say, north of the river, two and a half states, Longpan is in the north, Cao, the wife of the surge in strength, the tiger is proud of the Central Plains, and the rest of the people, including Liu Bei, can only be the second echelon, although Cao Cao and Yuan Shao know that Liu Bei is very strong, but how strong is it...... I don't know.
Spies or something, as long as they are thrown into Qingzhou, they are like meat buns beating dogs - there is no return.
Wang Xuan's household registration system was too strict for other princes in the late Han Dynasty, so strict that anyone who entered the village would be immediately discovered, and Wang Xuan presided over the rebuilt city without any soldiers except for the security forces.
The garrisons are stationed in special military camps outside the city, which is fundamentally separated from the government affairs system, and they will not enter the city at all if they are not wars, which makes it difficult for all the spies to know the reality of Liu Beijun, of course, this is also the reason why they do not have big data algorithms.
As for the rebellion in the city or something, Wang Xuan never worried, he didn't even have any special soldiers, you rebelled a ghost, you want to clean up some rebellions that don't even have military power, and you can't catch them yet.
As for when there is a real war, it is not far from the city, and it is only a matter of a few hours to enter the city to defend, so there is no need to panic at all.
The unknown is fearful, the more so, the more Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are more careful about Liu Bei, because, although they don't know how the troops are, the prosperity of Qingzhou makes them unbelievable at all, and they deeply doubt whether everyone lives in the same world!
Yes, the gap is too big, and now in the sphere of influence of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, many things are sold from Qingzhou, and these cheap and good things occupy a lot of market share of the two forces.
This is still the effect of those local families after strict defense, no way, although they don't know what is called economic war, what is dumping, but their own things are not as good as others, and they can't sell them or see it, besides, there are fewer and fewer copper coins on the market, so that the transaction is going to return to antiquity, and these local families have to start to close the inventory for I don't know how many years, and re-mint coins.
The Han government's coinage right has long been in vain, and the copper coins minted with conscience have enough copper content, such as Dong Zhuo's small iron coins...... It's just a special pit man.
Although I don't know what Liu Bei's military strength is, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao at least understand that Liu Bei is rich, and he is very rich!
For this reason, heavy taxes have been imposed on the goods flowing in from Qingzhou, and this way of establishing trade barriers is self-taught, but fortunately, in order to make money, there are still people who are willing to take risks, and smuggling came into being.
In fact, when Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were worried about Liu Bei's affairs, Liu Bei himself was also worried.
Since the last meeting of Wang Xuan raised the issue of insufficient women, this matter has attracted everyone's great attention, although everyone agrees with what Wang Xuan said to a certain extent, but the current atmosphere is that everything is based on data.
After a large-scale census began, the specific data was presented to everyone, and according to this data, after substituting a series of parameters such as pregnancy length, infant survival rate, and adulthood, the conclusions reached surprised everyone.
The problem is indeed too serious, which is also part of the reason why the Five Hu Chaohua still occurred after the return of the Three Kingdoms to the Jin Dynasty in the later period, the population is too small!
