Three years have passed, and the time has entered 200 AD, during which Liu Bei and Cao Cao have maintained a tacit understanding, and there is no small friction on the border, but commerce and trade have become more and more developed.

Of course, Liu Beifang must have taken the initiative in this trade, belongs to the trade exporting country, and has always maintained a trade surplus, but in this era, except for some people around Wang Xuan, no one understands these economic theoretical things, and moreover, in the process of trade, the family under Cao Cao has made a lot of profits, even if there are some bad situations that gradually appear, no one cares.

Or, no one cares.

Among them, Liu Bei's side is not without paying, at least, a large amount of coins flowed into Cao Cao's rule, which greatly alleviated the problem of money shortage on Cao Cao's side, and pulled Cao Cao back from the brink of economic collapse.

As for waving the army to the north, not to mention that Cao Cao himself has no bottom in his heart, even the family under his rule will definitely not support Cao Cao to do this.

This is different from any previous dynasty, in the past, no matter the rise or fall of a regime, it had no impact on the family, it was nothing more than a nominal allegiance to the object, now, there is such a person as Wang Xuan in the north, Liu Bei has started a bullshit reform, and if he is not careful, he may lose everything, and the family is unwilling to take risks.

As for Liu Bei's support for foreign development and the founding of the country, there has been no effect in the past three years, except for Gongsun Zan and Lu Bu who have developed rapidly with Liu Bei's support, whether it is the Wang family or the Su family and the Zhen family on the Korean Peninsula, the speed of development is not fast.

What's more, the ghost knows if Liu Bei will regret it, it's good to keep the status quo and wait and see what happens, and now he can continue to accumulate strength, these hundreds of years of families know how to protect themselves.

However, Cao Cao's side stagnation and slowly continuing his strength does not mean that Liu Bei's side will also be indifferent, as a new system in the new forces, Liu Bei's side is extremely aggressive.

No, after the infrastructure construction in You, He, Hebei and even the Heluo region was completed and began to feed back to the country, everyone, including Wang Xuan himself, looked at other places again.

After all, it is only by growing and growing that you can be lucky.

In Wang Xuan's mansion, looking at Liu Bei, who was sitting chubby in front of him, the corners of Wang Xuan's mouth twitched, "The Western Expedition is the Western Expedition, why am I in charge." ”

"I can't help it!" Liu Bei stretched out his fat hand and began to count on his fingers, "The second brother is in Qingzhou, and the third brother is in Bingzhou...... The generals of the DPRK and China are stationed on the frontier, even if there are no people left around me, the only people who can be mobilized now are Zhao Yun, Gao Lan, Dian Wei, and Wu Anguo, and those who lead troops or something, don't embarrass An Guo and Dian Wei, Zhao Yun and Gao Ran are responsible alone, and I don't feel at ease. ”

Looking at Liu Bei, what can I do, I am also very helpless, Wang Xuan sighed, three years have just passed, the eighteen changes of the female college, the more and more beautiful, the fruit of hard care can just be picked and enjoyed, although it is still slightly green, but the green has the fun of the green, and the beauty of ripeness, especially the process between playing slowly from the green to the ripe, is the most intoxicating.

The elastic peaks, the enchanting arcs, the swaying and delicate posture......

This is just halfway through the development and is about to take command of the expedition, and mingling with a group of stinky old men really makes Wang Xuan reluctant.

Especially Mi Zhen is still pregnant, and she will give birth in a few months, this is Wang Xuan's first son, and she is very irritable when she thinks about it!

"The Western Expedition is mainly in the Guanzhong region, and we can't let the two guys Li and Guo Yan make a fuss, the Guanzhong family is miserable, the ancestral graves are all gone, and those who can run have run away." Liu Bei said with a sad face.

Damn, if it weren't for the slightly upturned corners of your mouth, I might have believed it!

It's not your Liu Bei who lured Li Dao Guo to dig the ancestral grave of the people, and now talk about this, won't your conscience hurt!

As for the small details that he first brought up, he didn't care at all.

"It's not a big problem to solve them, the main thing is that they need to sit in the town to solve the chaotic people's livelihood problems in Guanzhong, which involves both military and political aspects, and other people are either busy with their own things, or they are not qualified or incapable, so they can only be carried out of the mountain!" Liu Bei said sincerely.

"You're saying I'm an idler, aren't you?" Wang Xuan raised his eyebrows.

Liu Bei spread his fat hands and said with a righteous face: "I didn't say that, you can't wronged me!" ”

Depend on!

Looking at Liu Bei, who was a blatant scoundrel, Wang Xuan sighed, this guy is becoming more and more shameless, and he doesn't know who to learn from.

"Okay!" Considering that it is Li Dao and Guo Yan, it is not easy to catch them.

Besides, the east-west railway has been repaired to Luoyang, from Luoyang to Chang'an is nothing more than 700 miles, with the help of waterways can be reached in two days, the railway has been repaired for about half a year, that is, at most, he can come back in less than half a year.

And Chang'an is not a barren place, it's a big deal to let the wives and concubines in the family go over to accompany him after cleaning up Li Dao and Guo Yan.

The preparations for the expedition did not last long, and it was originally the most time-consuming problem of grain and grass transportation, but with the help of the railway line, it was completed in two days, Wang Xuan and his family said goodbye, and took Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Gao Ran and 20,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry to embark on the westbound train.

When he arrived in Luoyang, Wang Xuan couldn't say what mood he was, the ancient emperors couldn't even count the ruins at the moment, and the whole became a huge construction site, where nearly 100,000 slaves worked in order to rebuild Luoyang, and the source of slaves was very complex, including the Huns, the Wuhuan people, the Buyeo people, the Goguryeo people, the Sanhan people, and the Japanese people.

As for how to use slaves, Wang Xuan gave a set of effective methods, one of which is that a single clan must never be allowed to appear in one place, and it must be mixed to prevent chaos.

Of course, it is only to prevent that for these slaves, life here is better than it used to be, nothing more than the loss of some inconsequential self-possession.

For these people who used to have a hard time eating a full meal, they have their own, not bullshit.

Out of Luoyang and continue westward, the next day after crossing the valley city, we arrived at Hangu Pass.

Hangu Pass has a long history, because of the terrain and the Yellow River diversion several times rebuilt, this Hangu Pass is located in the west of Luoyang Xin'an, is rebuilt in the Han Dynasty, according to the plateau in the west, the east is bordered by the Absolute Stream, the south is connected to the Qinling Mountains, the Yellow River in the north, it is really a checkpoint that is not opened but bears the most important function of communicating Luoyang to Chang'an, the battle of Hangu Pass during the war of aggression against China was started here.

Coming out of Hangu Pass, the scene immediately changed greatly, inside and outside the pass was like two worlds, one breathed with civilization and hope, thriving, and the air was full of dead silence and decay, the scene of the end.

"The fertile soil of Guanzhong has successively produced two major dynasties of Qiang Qin and Han Dynasty, and has not suffered any invasion in the past eight or nine years, even if you put two dogs in the position of the ruler, you can develop well, but now it is made like this by Li Dao Guo Yan."

Wang Xuan shook his head and sighed, turned his head to Dian Wei beside him and said, "Zhente Niang's is a talent!" ”

Dian Wei waited for the big eyes of the copper bell and nodded very approvingly, "No, I still go to dig people's ancestral graves, it's not as good as pigs and dogs, and I don't know which person who has a child and doesn't have a ** person thinks of this idea!" ”

"Smack!" Wang Xuan slapped Dian Wei on the back of his head, "Look at it, there's a mosquito!" ”

Dian Wei looked at Wang Xuan with surprise and disbelief in his eyes, as if he had discovered Huadian's blind life.
