(Thanks to haggl for the monthly pass, bow) ^_^

Although Lu Chen had the urge to pull a few knives on Liu Bao's three legs, Liu Bao often cooperated and said that both of his legs were broken, and Lu Chen was embarrassed to make up for the knife, so he had to live in peace.

Half a month has passed in a blink of an eye, and the tail of July, baa ......

Yiqiē is walking according to the established plan of Lu Chen and Hu Chuquan, and there are no accidents, although Liu Bao's obedience and influence are indispensable, but the most important thing is Hu Chuquan's self-control, he is not greedy, and he didn't even swallow all of Xihe County, but only occupied the part of Xihe County near the Yellow River, and the eastern Fenshui line was left to Lu Chen, used as a corridor from Hedong to Yanmen.

The counties of Hedong, Xihe, Shangjun, and Beidi are in the southwest of Yanmen, and north of Luoyang, Chang'an, which originally belonged to the Han Dynasty, including the two subject states of Qiuci and Yuezhi, which were originally also under the absolute control of the Han Dynasty. However, with the southern annexation of the Xiongnu and the turmoil in the Central Plains, the number of Han people in these places gradually decreased, and the number of Xiongnu and Qiang people gradually increased, and the Southern Xiongnu, Qiuzi, Yuezhi and other forces gradually controlled these places. The Han Dynasty was no longer able to levy, and even the county guards and other officials in Shangjun Beidi and other counties were mostly Yao Ling, that is, nominally the county guards there, and in fact they might have helped Cao Bald lick his feet in Xuchang.

It was precisely because the princes of the Central Plains ignored this piece of territory that Lu Chen was willing to spend his efforts to fight for it.

Although for most princes, the land here is vast and sparsely populated, and the shape is complex, like chicken ribs, but for Lu Chen, it is not a treasure of feng shui. But it's also a great springboard. That's right, it's a springboard, after taking the Yellow River, you can look at Hebei in the east, Guanzhong in the south, and Liangzhou in the west.

It's just that although the idea is good, it is quite difficult to really grasp this piece of territory. First of all, the biggest force here. The Southern Xiongnu who took Huchuquan as a large single Yu. It is a hard bone to gnaw, and the moon branch and turtle are not fuel-efficient lamps, not to mention that there are Xianbei tigers in the north. None of these guys are vegetarians, actually. They are all nomads. Eat meat. Han people are mostly vegetarians, and carnivores are generally quite ferocious, so. Lu Chen's business in Yanmen looks incomparable, but in fact, he is terrified and walking on thin ice.

However, taking advantage of the Xiongnu's momentum, Lu Chen finally took the first step, and Shun Lì took down Liu Bao's Tu tribes, which can be regarded as a good start.

For Liu Bao, who belonged to Lu Chen and recuperated in Mayi, he did not resist at all, and he was quite cooperative, except for the pressure that Lu Chen gave him, more pressure came from Wen Chou.

Here's the thing, Liu Bao was not injured in the first place, so after he decided to lead Lu Chen to fall into the saddle and kick the horse, Lu Chen arranged for him to exercise in his eighteen relatives. When Liu Bao became one of Lu Chen's personal soldiers, Wen Chou, who originally didn't like to go to the door, suddenly came to report to Lu Chen every once in a while, sometimes three times a day. Obviously, this product is not here to eat.

Originally, Liu Bao, who was still a little resistant, suddenly became extremely obedient, not only forced his younger brother Robert to move his tribe outside Yanmen Pass, but also put pressure on the Xiongnu nobles in Hedong, asking them to raise their consciousness and move closer to Comrade Lu Chen. Liu Bao's influence in Hedong is incomparable, and now there are four major forces in Hedong, namely Liu Bao's clansmen and three other nobles, Xu Bu, Wu Wei and Hu Lugu. Among them, the three nobles are equally powerful, but Liu Bao is the strongest.

Lu Chen's process of subduing Liu Bao was not easy, at least it was not a child's play like the seven captures and seven verticals seen on the surface, in fact, the so-called seven captures and seven verticals were just a strange appearance.

Before Liu Bao came to Mayi, Nameless returned to Mayi, and the Flying Dragon spy he led sprinkled to the two counties of Hexi and Donghe in various identities, and after nearly a month's effort, he also heard a lot of information, and successfully used the stirrup horseshoe and the temptation of the territory to secretly recruit Uwei and Hulugu. The two are weaker, and they were already deeply oppressed by Liu Bao, and they hit it off with Nameless, hinting at supporting Lu Chen, but they will not express their position openly, at least, before Liu Bao is placed under house arrest, they will not express their position. However, they also helped Lu Chen a lot when Liu Bao hesitated to go to Ma Yi to get weapons in person.

As for Xu Bu, because he had a close relationship with Liu Bao, Nameless was not sure to convince him, so he didn't dare to startle the snake.

It was under this premise that Liu Bao asked all tribes and tribes in Hedong Tu to join Lu Chen, which did not cause a backlash. After Liu Bao's tribe migrated to Yanmen, the tribes of Uwei and Hulugu overwhelmed Xubu in the east and west rivers of the river, and the three-legged stand was quite stable, plus the weapon support promised by Lu Chen, and the horse trading treaty, these three tribes had a lot of good feelings towards Lu Chen.

Liu Bao's tribe was not deliberately weakened by Lu Chen, except for the loss of some influence on the tribes of Hexi and Hetu, and the losses caused by migration, and it was led by Luo Ba, which was also to let Liu Bao feel at ease and not to break the net.

In half a month, under the leadership of Luo Bai, the Liu Bao tribe successfully migrated to Dingxiang County outside Yanmen Pass, and the rule was in Shanwu, of course, Lu Chen also gave Liu Bao the title of Dingxiang Taishou. Dingxiang terrain is northerly, in the northwest of Yanmen, southeast of Yunzhong, not close to the Yellow River, the water and grass are not as abundant as the East and West Rivers, but the victory is in the vast terrain, close to the real prairie, so it is not a loss. After all, the Yanmen Pass was still nominally the land of the Han Dynasty, and although the Xianbei people often plundered the Yanmen, they had not yet expanded beyond the Pass, just enough for them to graze.

The only thing that made Liu Bao and Luo Ba a little apprehensive was that not far to the west was Shan Yuting Meiji from Hu Chu Quan, who looked at each other across the river and was very red, but fortunately, Lu Chen now has a good relationship with Hu Chu Quan, and Liu Bao and the others have taken refuge in Lu Chen, so they will not blatantly call.

In the process of migration, Lü Chen naturally sent people to help, but as a price, Liu Bao released all the Han slaves to Lü Chen, and these people naturally became the working class of Yanmen.

In addition to Han Nu, there are also Han women.

Liu Bao did not break his promise, nor did he dare to break his promise, so he decisively offered his stepmother Cai Zhaoji.

Cai Zhaoji came in a carriage with Liu Bao's two half-brothers, this is the cub of her and the former Zuoxian King Yu Fuluo, mixed-race Xiao Zhengtai, weird and cute, Wen Chou swallowed his saliva and coughed cough.

Cai Wenji is not as beautiful as she imagined, but she has an outstanding temperament and good conversation, which makes Lu Chen quite admired. As soon as they met, they smashed over a lump of classical Chinese, Lu Chen was dizzy, and he answered each other, basically didn't understand what the other party said, and finally had to let Pang Tong, who was eager to try, go to the top tank.

Pang Tong drooled and asked, "Sister Cai, do you remember me?" ”

Cai Zhaoji shook her head decisively, I have never seen such an ugly guy!

"I'm chubby, Xiangyang Pang's family, I saw my sister when I was a child." Pang Tong couldn't help but remind.

"Oh!" Cai Zhaoji suddenly realized, isn't this Pang Xiaopang who scared my guard dog to death back then? Immediately, the circles under his eyes turned red, "I haven't seen each other for more than ten years, and you still look so peculiar." ”

Pang was speechless when he was unified. (To be continued......)
