There is a severe drought in Guanzhong, and seven or eight out of ten people die, and normally speaking, it will take at least ten years to recover.

After all, people are not crops in the field, and it takes more than ten years to grow from a baby croaking to being able to plough and pay taxes.

Relying purely on the harvest of 20,000 Xianbei soldiers in the Battle of Shayuan in history, it is simply impossible to fill the population gap in Guanzhong.

Therefore, the greatest significance of the Battle of Shayuan was to allow Yuwentai to take the opportunity to go east and occupy a large area of land in the Eastern Wei Dynasty, not only plundering a large number of people into the pass, but also shifting the battlefield from Guanzhong to Hedong and Henan.

Let Kansai recuperate and avoid the disaster of war.

This is also the reason why Gao Huan originally wanted to move the capital to Yecheng, but Gao Cheng strongly opposed it.

The general guards the country, and the little emperor dies.

Yuan Shanjian didn't know Gao Cheng's thoughts, otherwise he would have been moved to cry by the general's gentleness:

He can't defend the country and can escape, but he has to die in Luoyang.

Gao Cheng understood from the beginning that the key node of the war between Eastern and Western Wei was not whether Gao Huan could defeat Guanzhong.

Of course, He Liuhun doesn't have this ability.

The key is whether Yuwentai can return to blood after the catastrophe caused by a great drought.

and whether the battlefield can continue to be maintained in Kansai.

Kansai is already poor, its strength is far inferior to that of Kanto, and it loses seventy or eighty percent of its population, but it can't be replenished.

In the final analysis, in ancient times, it was the population that fought and the economy that fought the war.

The population could not be replenished, and the front was pushed to Henan and Hedong.

The already dilapidated Guanzhong has suffered repeated military disasters, even if I let Low Cheng and Gao Longzhi change positions, I think of a solution.

Is there no one in Kansai? Is there no food?

There are both people and food, except for expecting the opponent to be stupid, what to do to change his life.

But it is precisely Luoyang's Xiaoxiaohuan who sits in Henan, but Gaoyang's Dalowcheng.

Therefore, for Low Cheng, there is a discussion about how well he played.

As long as Low Huan falls into the hands of Gao Long and calls the door for me, everything is easy to say.

He Bahun really wants to pay tribute to the Mingbao Sect, and when he is called an ancestor, Low Cheng can only let people do Yu Qian once, pushing him to inherit the family business by saving his father.

In the eighth year of Taichang (537), the tenth day of the first month.

Before Low Huan led the army out of Gaoyang, Low Cheng ordered the Guangzhou Assassin Shi Low Ao Cao, the Southern Jingzhou Assassin Shi Yuan Zigong, the Eastern Jingzhou Assassin Shi Yang Su, the Yuzhou Assassin Shi Yaoxiong, and the Southern Yanzhou Assassin Liu Feng and others to strictly guard the border.

He led Sizhou Muke Zhu Hunyuan, Northern Yuzhou Thorn Shi Duan Shao, Yingzhou Thorn Shi Murong Shaozong, Liangzhou Thorn Shi Hu Luguang, and henchman Xiao Ji Shi, etc., commanded 20,000 Gyeonggi soldiers, 1,000 personal guards, and 8,000 troops from Zhu Hun to leave Luoyang, and then garrisoned Hengnong.

Before leaving, Low Cheng was slow to say goodbye to his wives and concubines, but took the hand of the protector general Yu Wentai, just like when he faced Lou Zhao, he choked up and said:

"On this expedition, all the family affairs will be entrusted to Mr."

Yu Wentai wept and said:

"The servant was born poor, and he was favored by the little general, so he did not have today's achievements, the little general's kindness, the servant will never forget, and please don't think about family affairs, and the servant will keep Luoyang peaceful."

When Low Cheng heard this, he blamed:

"Now that you are a general of the Protector Army, how can you call yourself a servant anymore?"

"The servant dares to forget that he was a little general's minister, and no matter what position he is, he will regard the little general as a benefactor."

Yu Wentai said with a sincere gaze.

Low Cheng sighed:

"It's Cheng's luck to not have someone like Mr. to assist."

After appeasing Yu Wentai, Low Cheng explained to Zhao Yanshen, Low Longzhi, Cui Xian and others, and instructed us to handle government affairs attentively, and there must be nothing difficult to decide, so he sent him to Hengnong to ask me for instructions.

The little villain who bullied the Son of Heaven in Low Longzhi was already obedient to Low Cheng's words, and I didn't have Low Cheng to help match, so I directly asked my son to change his surname to Xu, and since then he has slowly become a loyal dog leg of Low Cheng.

He asked me to choose between a father and son, and I had to be firm for a quarter of an hour at most before I could tell him that I chose Low Huan.

After all, that guy is just slow to become a low Cheng dogleg, but I haven't been a low Huan's dog leg for a long time.

And the eight men of the Li family of Zhao County retreated from the low Cheng family, and the relationship between Zhao Yanshen and me must be said, and even Gao Chen, the sect member of Zhao Yanshen, is also increasing his loyalty to the low family.

Gao Chen is not a big man, Zhao Yanshen is the suzerain of the Li family, but he is only appointed as a civilian, and the armed body of the Li family in Zhao County is led by Gao Chen.

I led the low Huanxin to build righteousness, performed meritorious deeds, and was treated as my own person.

However, under history, Gao Chen, who was the assassin of Eastern Jingzhou at the time, was persuaded by Zhao Gang, the envoy of the Western Wei Dynasty, to turn his heart to the Western Wei, and the result was to stop his own death and affect the clan.

deepened Low Huan's trust in the Hebei Shi clan.

Gao Chen's Xindu Yuan can rebel, and how dare Low Huan rely on the Hebei Shi clan in the military to eliminate Low Ao Cao.

After all, the reckless man of Low Ao Cao is in line with the Hebei Shi clan.

At that time and space, Low Cheng handed over Dongjingzhou to Yang Su, and he also decided to put Gao Chen on the Western Front again.

Appoint me as the assassin of East Xuzhou, if he really wants to vote, he will go to Nanliang, I still believe it, the original history did not have Yuan Xiu in Guanxi in the name of the monarch and minister, Gao Chen's heart to Kanxi is also reasonable, that time and space Lingnanliang can still say that a Hebei person has surrendered?

If the northern wealthy clan loses their minds, they will follow the Southern Liang who has long had a retreat.

Low Cheng's arrangements for Luoyang's affairs are the same as in the past.

Zhao Yanshen and Low Longzhi led Shangshu Province together, and Cui Xian led the Ministry on behalf of the officials.

The Little General's Mansion was transferred away because all the Gyeonggi soldiers were transferred, and only the lord Bo Wen Zisheng was allowed to deal with some trivial matters in Luoyang.

And Chang Shi Cui Ang provided forward support for Low Cheng, mainly consumables such as bows and arrows and weapons.

Grain and grass need to be worried, after passing through the grain storage, Hengnong City is short of food.

And Sima Wang Shiliang of the Little General's Mansion also stayed in Luoyang to preside over the affairs of the Listening Division, and once he received important information about Guan Rouran and Xiao Liang, he immediately sent it to Hengnong.

Low Cheng warned his subordinates one by one, and then he hurriedly said goodbye to his wives and concubines, and his wife Yuan Zhonghua was old and raised in the Qinghe Palace.

Low Cheng handed over all the affairs of the Bohai Royal Mansion to Er Zhu Ying'e to manage, especially to explain that you are optimistic about Low Yang, and you are allowing me to retire from my inner house.

After the New Year, Low Yang is not yet seventeen years old, and when it is time to take precautions, Low Cheng dares to be accurate like Low Huan, leading the troops in it and letting Hou Si steal the house.

It was Jin Yang, who stayed in Gao Yang that time, but he might have done Hou Si's stupid thing.

Although Low Huan and Gao Yue are brothers, when it comes to feelings, they are still deeper than Jinyang's cousin.

Neither Jinyang's own talent nor filial piety, but also because when Low Huan was a messenger, he traveled back and forth between Huaishuo and Luoyang for a long time, and he always had to live in Jinyang's house every time he went to Luoyang, and the two slept together for a long time, and the relationship was naturally intimate.

Low Yang is growing up little by little, because of Low Cheng's words during Gao Yue's mourning, Low Huan never thought of giving Low Yang a chance to show his talents.

Even before Low Yang went south with Low Cheng, he would only meet Low Yang if he didn't go to Luoyang in person.

It can also be said that the low joy is ruthless, the neglect of the second son, and the love for my youngest child.

I must really always remember the low ocean far away in Luoyang, shouting at me, showing my attention, and letting the low Cheng on the side look at it.

Is that a fratricidal effort to force a little suspicious?

So even if he knew that Low Cheng only taught low foreign moral books, and was determined to waste me into a useful waste, Low Huan didn't interfere.

If you waste it, you will waste it, you don't have a low Cheng here, and you are still afraid that you will live in that family business?

Since the family business is worried, it is good for Low Yang to be a rich and idle king in his life.

But the young Low Yang can understand the hard work of Low Huan, in my opinion, my mother is disgusted with myself, my little brother is wary of himself, and even my father, who loved him when he was older, is also alienated from himself.

Low Yang, who was already withdrawn, became more and more silent, but fortunately, without Liu's company, he comforted me to survive such days.

That incident stood on the standpoint of the eight father and son, and everyone was at fault.

Low Huan made what he thought was the best treatment for Low Cheng and Low Yang.

Low Cheng felt that he had kept the bottom line, did he secretly kill that brother, and was willing to give me a fortune to make me an idle king.

And Low Yang understands why he is treated like that when he does everything, he is treated like that.

I also want to gallop like my father and brother and build up meritorious deeds.

But the identity of the second son of Low Yang is the original sin.

The two fathers and sons, Gao Huan and Low Cheng, are the same kind of people, so I can understand Low Cheng's suspicion of Low Yang, but I reprimanded him and told him that he should be a brother and a friend.

Just like what Low Cheng said that day, no matter how small my power is, if Low Yang wants to replace me, I only need an assassin.

Both father and son have tasted the taste of power, and they both understand that in the temptation of power, everyone is in control.

Low Cheng wants to cultivate Low Yang into a useful waste, and Low Huan is holding Gao Yang's military power tightly.

From time to time, it is necessary to test whether it is low or not, and whether it is to secretly make friends with General Hou Si in order to feel at ease.

And the two younger brothers who are also in Luoyang are less than seven years old, and they are less happy than those in Low Yang.

In particular, the eighth brother of Ming, whose biological father is Ming, is deeply loved by Low Cheng, and he often holds me under the horse and rides with me when he goes out on safaris, so that I can gallop with my horse.

Low Jun, who is about to be seven years old, is arrogant and intelligent, and now he has also dropped out of school and recognized a few words.

I've also heard rumors that I don't care about myself and I'm not born to Low Huan.

Just like the body, Low Jun even thought that he was born to the little brother Low Cheng and his mother Wang, after all, the little brother was treating the difference between himself and his younger brother Low Yang, and Low Jun was the most ambiguous.

I even wrote to Luoyang to ask my mother, Wang, whether Low Cheng was my father.

Wang took the letter, his face was red with shame, and when he heard about his son's letter, he was excited to read it, and he almost lost his anger before reading it.

But I am the most vague about that matter, and I know the innocence of Low Cheng.

can also understand that Low Cheng is good to that younger brother from the layman's side, and it is even more confirmed that Low Cheng is not a ruthless person, but he is just jealous because of his identity as the second son of Low Yang.

Since then, he has even interfered with Low Cheng to raise his brothers in Luoyang, and even plans to wait for the Western Expedition to send the seventh son, the low and eighth son born to the Yuan family, the first son, and the first love Han Zhihui to Luoyang, after all, the eight eldest sons, the eldest is also two years old.

And after settling down in Luoyang, Low Cheng also traveled west for the eighth time and went to Hengnong.

Also, but don't wait, get up and look again.
