Once the land sale was finalized, the relocation schedule went one step further.

According to the original plan, the clan elders sold the property of the clan, and then organized the training of the clansmen, and purchased a large number of weapons and equipment, grain, grass, salt and other materials before they could set off.

The weapons and equipment captured the ring-headed knife left by Cao Ren's 200 soldiers, which was enough to equip two or three hundred clansmen, and had a certain combat effectiveness.

Grain and grass materials are obtained by selling the fields to Mi Zhu, which also eliminates intermediate links.

This leaves only the last two questions, training and route.

Training can't be done overnight, and it's impossible to make the clansmen have combat effectiveness in a short period of time.

But fortunately, last time Cao Ren came to help them carry out actual combat training, although it can't be said how much the combat power has improved, it can let the clansmen see blood and see the cruelty of the real battlefield, and they can be regarded as reborn in terms of character.

As for the route, it was finally decided by Shen Chen.

Shen Chen had thought about the migration route before, Guangling definitely couldn't go, Zhenrong scraped the ground three feet and went to Guangling, which was tantamount to a sheep entering the tiger's mouth.

Then they can only choose to go south from Xiapi, after Xiapi was slaughtered by Cao Cao, tens of thousands of square kilometers of land became a wilderness, chickens and dogs are not left, people are inaccessible, the roads are no longer pedestrians, and there is no need to worry about being exploited by the princes along the way.

The only concern is the plague.

Because Cao Cao killed hundreds of thousands of people, causing the Surabaya River to be blocked, coupled with the hot weather, the corpses decomposed, and bacteria multiplied, and the entire Xiapi became a plague bed.

It can be said that the great population decline at the end of the Han Dynasty began with natural disasters and ended with man-made disasters.

From Emperor Huan of Han to Emperor Ling of Han for decades, the Xiaoice River era led to frequent natural disasters, coupled with land annexation and other problems, leading to the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

The first large-scale population massacre was at this time, Huangfu Song first slaughtered the Henan Yellow Turban, and then slaughtered the Hebei Yellow Turban, not only killing all the people, but also setting up the Beijing Temple, in order to deter the world's rogues.

The Yellow Turban Uprising alone killed millions and displaced tens of millions.

Then Hebei regained some vitality under the governance of Wang Fen, but Henan has not recovered, all the princes from all walks of life sang and I appeared, not only the remnants of the Yanzhou Yellow Turbans plundered, the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans attacked, and even the Black Mountain Army, the Southern Xiongnu, the Taishan thieves, the Runan Yellow Turbans and so on.

After Cao Cao carried out a massacre in Xuzhou, the entire Yanzhou and Yuzhou in Henan, plus the three prefectures of Huaibei and Xuzhou, originally had a total population of more than 10 million, and after the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the Great War of the Central Plains Princes, the population dropped sharply, and the ten rooms were empty, full of devastation.

To make matters worse, the slaughter was followed by the plague virus, which was infected by rats, flies, mosquitoes, ticks and even cattle, sheep, horses, chickens and dogs, and then transmitted to humans.

Therefore, the current Huaibei area of Henan, such as Runan, Chenguo, Liangguo, Peiguo, and Xiapi, not only has a population of less than one, but also a large number of plague viruses are raging.

This is a great threat to the migrating clans.

Shen Chen naturally knew this, so in the route planning, racked his brains, and finally studied for a long time, and decided to go south from the border line between Pengcheng and Xiapi to cross Surabaya and Suishui into Peiguo, and then go from Peiguo to the Jiujiang area of Huainan.

Although Pengcheng was also slaughtered by Cao Cao last year, the main place is in the surrounding area between Pengcheng and Lu County, and it should not be a big problem to bypass this part of the area.

After arriving in Peiguo from Pengcheng, the situation will be much better, all the way through Fuli, Guyang, and Xiangxian into Huainan.

Yuan Shu is now strong and strong, not to mention 100,000 soldiers, food reserves are also very sufficient, and the most important thing is that the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, he still retains the face of the Yuan family, and he will not do everything without a lower limit like Cao Cao, even if he crosses the border from Huainan, Yuan Shu should not covet their clan property.

After the plan was determined in this way, and finally when the transaction with Mi Zhu was completed, all the villagers of Huangmenting packed their belongings, took the carriage if they had a carriage, and used a rickshaw to use a rickshaw if they did not have a carriage, and officially prepared to set off.

In mid-June, after nearly two months of preparation, nearly 1,000 villagers in Huangmen Pavilion finally set off. Liu Bei and Mi Zhu were also in the Huangmen Pavilion at the moment, seeing them off.

Located in the slightly dilapidated pavilion to the east of the Huangmen Pavilion, Shen Chen, Deng Mao and Shen Xian, two clan representatives, said goodbye to Liu Bei Mizhu.

These days, Liu Bei often comes to Huangmen Pavilion to chat with Shen Chen, sometimes chatting about major events, sometimes talking about trivial life, and it is this period that makes Liu Bei understand what productivity is and what labor is, and he has learned a lot of new vocabulary.

At the end of sunrise in the morning, when the sky was just bright, the villagers of Huangmen Pavilion, who had gotten up from the beginning of sunrise, had already prepared everything and gathered near the pavilion.

Countless vehicles, large and small, are piled up on the road, chickens, ducks, cows, dogs, pigs, sheep and other livestock can be sold, and those that cannot be sold are killed and smoked into bacon.

Therefore, the whole team is clean and tidy, there is no livestock manure that causes the stench, and under the maintenance of the clansmen, order is also guaranteed.

The old and weak women and children sat in the carriage in the middle, behind which there were Shen Zhen and other clansmen Ding Dian, and in front of Deng Zhao and others to open the way, and they even gathered more than a dozen horses of the whole clan and prepared a little cavalry to guard them around.

Looking at this orderly migration, without too much cumbersomeness and bloat, just to serve efficiency, Liu Bei sighed with emotion: "Little sir, even if it is a migration, you have done a really good job." ”

"Thank you Xuande Gong for complimenting, there is no royal way in troubled times, and I am also forced to go to Jingzhou, I will study more and learn more about the art of war."

Shen Chen responded with a smile, he realized that he had a lot of shortcomings, and the historical memories brought by the time-traveler were indeed very helpful to him, but history is history, and if there is a change in the future, then he will not be able to do anything.

However, marching and fighting, and it is still a march and war in the era of cold weapons, it will never have a huge advantage because he is a traverser, but it will make him deeply understand his shallowness.

So this time I went to Jingzhou, in addition to avoiding trouble, Shen Chen has also been thinking and planning many things, to learn the art of war, learn to train soldiers, learn to farm, and learn everything, like hunger and thirst, in order to find a foothold in such troubled times.

Liu Bei praised: "It is precisely because Mr. Xiao is so studious that he may be so precocious." It's a pity that I didn't like to study in my early years, and I used to study under the great Confucian Lu Gong, but I spent all my days in waste, if I studied hard at that time, it would have been great. ”

Shen Chen said with a smile: "I once heard a sentence called "Ambition is not old, no ambition is a hundred years old." Ambition and the attitude of learning are the attitudes of life. No matter how old you are, you can learn, and there is no end to learning. ”

"A good one who has ambition is not old, and he is a hundred years old if he has no ambition."

Liu Bei was very happy when he heard this, and this sentence made him feel very comfortable, because he was a person full of ambition.

Shen Chen said again: "Jun is in Xuzhou, although this place is a situation of trapped dragons, but there is no way out. Please also ask Xuande Gong to manage it well, and maybe he can be dominant in the Central Plains. Tao Gong is old and can't sit in charge, so he needs the public to show his strength. ”

"I see."

Liu Bei nodded, these days Tao Qian proposed to give Xuzhou to him, Chen Dengmizhu and others also agreed very much, but he still refused, he really couldn't take advantage of Tao Qian's danger because he was seriously ill.

At the same time, talking with Shen Chen during this time, he also understood the situation faced by Xuzhou, even if he sat in the position of Xuzhou Mu, he did not have the confidence to manage it well.

However, Shen Chen still left a direction before, that is, to start cleaning up from the inside, first to restore people's livelihood, and then to open up Langya, support each other with Kong Rong in Beihai, and wait until the internal worries are solved step by step, and then deal with external troubles.

Of course.

Liu Bei would definitely not have thought that this method was right, the problem was that Yuan Shu would not leave him time, so he could only say that Shen Chen had indeed taught him the way, but there was no way to tell him that Yuan Shu would come to attack Xuzhou at the end of this year.

Shen Chen said again: "I heard that when Xuande Gong rescued Beihai, it was because a warrior broke out of the Yellow Turban Siege and went to the plains to ask for help, why didn't the Duke ask Wen Jugong to send him over, this must be a good helper." ”

"Ziyi is indeed brave, I will write a letter to Wen Jugong when I arrive, to see if he is willing to come."

"That's good, the public will be in Xuzhou in the future, please be more careful."

"Don't worry, I will."

The two talked for a while, and when the sun rose at three o'clock, the migration team outside was finally ready, and Deng Hong, who was in charge of the overall migration work, came to greet everyone and prepare to leave.

A servant brought a few glasses of wine.

Deng Mao and Shen Xian raised their wine glasses and saluted Liu Bei Mizhu and said, "Duke Xuande, Duke Zizhong, the elder of Huangmenting Township has said goodbye, and please cherish the second duke." ”

"I wish you all the best on your journey." The two of them also raised their drinks, and after greeting Deng Maoshen, they drank it all.

Shen Chen was still young and inconvenient to drink, so he watched them say goodbye to each other.

When they put down the cups, Shen Chen said to Liu Bei and Mi Zhu: "Duke Xuande, Duke Zizhong, Xuzhou is the land of right and wrong, if it is not going well, you must remember a word." ”

"What?"

Liu Bei asked curiously.

Shen Chen said: "If people lose land, people and land will survive; If the land is lost, the people and the land are lost. No matter what happens, you must remember to protect your own life, and Zi Zhonggong's industry in Qu County must also be dealt with as soon as possible, these days, food is actually more important than the field. ”

"If people lose land, people and land will survive; Lost people, lost people? ”

Liu Bei read this sentence carefully, and every time he talked to Shen Chen, he always felt that he had new insights, which made people sigh that the future was terrifying.

A few people came out of the pavilion, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun were all waiting outside.

Deng Hong beckoned to everyone, Deng Mao and Shen Xian bowed to Liu Bei and them, and each got into the carriage.

Shen Chen, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun all said hello, walked into their own carriage, and saw Liu Bei and they were still watching them on the side of the road, so they stood on the carriage and saluted: "Sending you a thousand miles must be goodbye in the end, please cherish it, it will have a time to meet again, and then drink with the princes in the morning!" ”

"You little hairy man, what kind of wine are you drinking!"

Zhang Fei laughed and shook his hand.

The carriage started slowly, and the large army on the road went far south, and Shen Chenle said: "Uncle Yide, I will prepare wine for you, I am afraid that you will get drunk when the time comes." ”

"Don't worry, you can't get drunk with me even if you're ten!"

"Xuande Gong, Uncle Yunchang, Uncle Yide, Uncle Zilong, goodbye!"

"Goodbye!"

The four of them waved goodbye.

The morning sun is rising, and the large army on the official road is slowly moving forward.

None of them knew that this parting would be six years later.
