The army marched all the way south, and when they came to Wuguan, the people behind them had reached more than 200,000, and they couldn't see the edge at a glance.

Yuan Yao is not a bad person, and taking in these people is also soft-hearted for a while, who knows that it will snowball more and more along the way, which makes Yuan Yao a little surprised.

As a flag-bearer who contributed to Chang'an, Yuan Yao's reputation in Guanzhong was not good.

But it also depends on who you compare yourself with.

Compared with the Xiliang soldiers who looted around Guanzhong unscrupulously, Yuan Yao can be said to be a representative of the model army, and under his constraints, he basically did not commit any crimes in the autumn.

Of course, this is also related to Yuan Yao himself.

Although he only brought 500 guards to Chang'an, with the Dujun warehouse in hand, Yuan Yao naturally carried very abundant grain and grass.

Coupled with the receipt of the money and grain collected by Dong Zhuo, as well as the income from the looting of foreign clans in Bingzhou, the current Yuan Yao can be said to be very rich.

The abundant grain and grass also determined that the army led by Yuan Yao did not need to loot at all, and the soldiers could eat enough every day, and naturally they would not run for life.

Many Xiliang veterans were also relieved to be under Yuan Yao's command, like Yuan Yao's way of eating three meals a day, and also having a full posture, even if Dong Zhuo led them to dominate the princes, it was not so luxurious.

Of course.

The homeless people who followed the army were not treated so well, after all, there was no free lunch in the world.

Under Heshen's plan, most of these displaced people signed lease contracts with Heshen.

The content of the contract was simple, Yuan Yao would pay back the food provided by these people every day, and Yuan Yao was responsible for providing land and shelter to these people.

On the one hand, Heshen did not completely cut off the freedom of life of these displaced people, and rented them so that they could slowly repay their debts in the future.

On the other hand, He Shen firmly controlled these displaced people in his hands with a paper contract, so that this person would willingly become a potential farmer in the future of Yuan Yao.

The homeless people not only did not dare to dislike the contract with Shen, but also were very grateful.

After all, compared to starving to death on the road, He Shen is tantamount to giving these displaced people a chance to survive.

Not only is it a survival ration now, but it is also a disguised promise of life and work in the future, which is simply the best of both worlds.

Looking at the dense finger prints on the paper, Yuan Yao, who was riding slowly, couldn't help but think of He Shen's words.

Population is the foundation of hegemony.

"News came from Chang'an, the ministers of the court secretly contacted the local forces in Xiliang, Ma Teng and Han Sui led their troops to enter King Qin, and Li Dao and Guo Yan are sending troops to block it."

He Shen's secret agent in Chang'an hurriedly came and told He Shen the news, and He Shen naturally wouldn't hide it from Yuan Yao.

"It seems that Liu Ji was right to let us leave Chang'an." When Yuan Yao heard the news, he couldn't help but secretly rejoice.

"It's true, staying in Chang'an will inevitably fall into a whirlpool, which will not be beneficial to the lord to run Yangzhou, and will also cause the hostility of the princes of the world." He Shen also deeply agreed with Liu Ji's withdrawal.

Compared with competing for hegemony in the world, He Shen prefers to develop and make money on a stable territory, and He Shen naturally understands what to fight, but he is not interested.

"What He Zhizhai said is reasonable, and whether the lord has noticed a status quo, such as today's chaos, the princes everywhere are no longer as in the past, they all occupy a piece of territory, and the trend of competing for the deer has been achieved."

"The Eastern Han Dynasty court is already in name only, the Han Dynasty is about to run out, and the chaotic times are about to begin.

"Gongsun Zan of Youzhou, Yuan Shao of Jizhou, Tao Qian of Xuzhou, Liu Yan of Yizhou and Liu Biao of Jingzhou all occupy a state of land, which can be said to have taken the lead."

"If it weren't for the lord who sent He Shen to Chang'an and also occupied Yangzhou, Yuan Gong might have fallen behind in the world's big chess."

"At this time, if we don't withdraw from Guanzhong, our territory is too long, and Yuan Gong's forces will definitely be attacked on all sides."

"If you are not careful, you will lose all the games."

Liu Ji rode on the other side of Yuan Yao and carefully analyzed the current situation for Yuan Yao.

Compared with others, Liu Ji's grasp of the situation is very accurate.

If it was just when the princes were crusading against Dong Zhuo, as long as the allies defeated Dong Zhuo, the situation in the world would become clear in an instant.

At that time, the princes of all walks of life were still relatively scattered, and there was no intention of separating one side, even if they were Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, the leaders of the north and south of the crusade against the coalition army, the two were just Bohai Taishou and Nanyang Taishou.

However, as time went by, the chaos of the Han family became more and more serious, and the thoughts of the princes of the world became more and more serious, and the pattern of separating one side gradually emerged.

At this time, if you can't occupy a favorable position early, it will inevitably have an impact on the future hegemony.

For example, the troubled times in history, which have just begun and ended quickly, often do not delay for a long time, but once a separatist trend is formed, it will become a group of demons dancing wildly.

The most serious of these is the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

The army passed the five levels and entered the Nanyang realm, Yuan Yao's heart was inexplicably relieved, as if he had returned home.

At this moment, Yuan Yao's feat of capturing Chang'an with the banner of Dong Zi instantly spread all over the world, and the princes were shocked at the same time, they also launched a condemnation.

Yuan Shao took the lead in Jizhou, and at the same time there were Cao Cao in Yanzhou, Kong Rong in Qingzhou, Liu Biao in Jingzhou, and Ma Teng in Xiliang.

These people directly informed Yuan Shu of Nanyang and asked him to hand over the national thief Yuan Yao, and for a while, the corporal clan in the world also jumped out to speak out, pushing Yuan Yao to the peak of evil.

Bite!

Feel the shock from Gongsun Chan, faint king point +10!

Bite!

Feeling the jealousy from Yuan Shao, the faint monarch points +50!

Bite!

Feel the joy from Cao Cao, faint king point +100!

Bite!

Feel the dissatisfaction from Liu Biao, faint king point +20!

......

Listening to the long-lost and familiar prompt sound in his ears, Yuan Yao couldn't help but smile in his heart.

These so-called princes are not because of the righteousness of the world at all, but simply to persecute their father Yuan Shu, so that they can reach the moral high ground.

Bite!

Feel the anger from Xun Yu, faint king point +100!

Bite!

Feel the killing intent from Guan Yu, and the faint monarch point is +100!

......

However, the next explosion line prompt sound was obviously not so friendly, and those so-called loyal ministers of the Han family were obviously full of hostility towards Yuan Yao.

Wancheng.

Yuan Shu did not care about the condemnation of Yuan Yao by other princes at all, but personally led the army to greet him outside the city gate, and proudly swore an oath in front of the two armies.

"If anyone dares to target my son Yuan Yao, ask me about the sword in my hand first!"

"Even if my son is the enemy of the world, being a father is your greatest reliance!"

Yuan Yao, who was just approaching the city, heard Yuan Shu's angry roar, his eyes turned red inexplicably, and a feeling of being cared for by his family spontaneously appeared.

Looking at this middle-aged man who was called a pseudo-emperor in history, Yuan Yao had a kind of arrogance in his heart, which was hot and warm.
