After Su Quan returned to Changshan, Changshan really settled down a lot.

also put on a show of loyalty, saying that it was Feng Yili who lured him and allowed him to be the pastor of the state and the general of Zhennan, and he Su Yan was loyal to Daliang and had no betrayal.

Li Yue also replied with an edict, sealing Su Yan as the general of Zhenbei and leading the history of Youzhou Assassination.

Press the gourd to float the scoop.

Lu Hu also rubbed his nose and face, and asked Yecheng to support him with another 100,000 stone of grain, 5,000 head of livestock, 3,000 sets of various ordnance, and 3,000 women.

And the news that Lu Kou sent back, Lu Hu also asked Murong Jun for these things.

It is not difficult to see that Lu Hu, Wang Wu, and Qin Xing are all good all the way, and they just want to get benefits from the left and right.

In view of the current situation, it was still necessary to coax him, and Li Yue ordered to send 10,000 stone grain, 500 sows, ewes, and 700 sets of ordnance over.

None of the women.

Most of the 100,000 palace maids in Yecheng were released and married to soldiers and people, even if there were, Li Yue would never send them out.

I finally gave something here, but Yan Guo was not used to Lu Hu's stinky problem, so he didn't give a grain of food.

Yan Guo is not in a good year this year, and Murong Jun, who is the king of Yan, eats Liaodong, so it is naturally impossible to give food to Lu Hu.

In the end, Lu Hu also put on a performance "sincerely", saying that he would never betray Da Liang, so that Li Yue could rest assured that he Boling King Lu Hu had seen through Murong's face and would resolutely resist to the end.

From his series of operations, it can be seen that this guy is by no means a fuel-efficient lamp, and it looks stupid on the surface, but in fact he has a very accurate grasp of the situation.

Use all means to strengthen yourself.

He won't be close to himself, but he will never wear a pair of pants with Murong Clan.

None of the people killed in the troubled times are general.

The situation in Hebei is still so deadlocked.

Winter is now in the blink of an eye, and this winter is indeed colder than usual, and before the snow falls, the wind is biting.

Li Yue inspected the army, and coal had already burned in the barracks, and it was as warm as spring.

When he went out for training and duty, he also wore fur furs, and the qualified soldiers also prepared wolf skin mattresses and leather shoes, which were wrapped around their bodies and were not afraid of the cold.

This year, trade with Gangneung has increased greatly, the supply of cloth is abundant, the soldiers have changed into new clothes, and the atmosphere in the army has changed.

Seeing that no one was frostbitten, Li Yue did not spoil them, and went out on a long-distance safari in batches, east to Langya and south to Luyang.

If the soldiers can't adapt to the harsh natural environment, how can they fight with the savages in Mobei and Liaodong in the future?

The strength of the Black Cloud Army lies not in the equipment, but in the strong desire to fight and the tenacious will.

Since you're in the army, don't want to enjoy it.

Not only the soldiers, but also the top and bottom of the Liang Kingdom, from slaves to officials, are busy.

Men fallow fields, build houses, and repair cities, while women carry coal and grain.

Even Li Yue did not stop, inspecting the defense of various places, and everything must be prepared with both hands, Xiangguo and Zhongshan hung above the head of Yecheng, Lukou was not in his hands, and the second line of defense could not be lost.

In particular, Fangtou, Liyang, Hutou, Dongguang, Nanpi, Fuyang and other important towns have built a large number of dock forts along Qingshui and Lutuoshui.

The longer the Murong clan prepares, the more intense the next big battle will be.

Defending the second line of defense is equivalent to defending the states and counties south of the river.

However, the rugged road along the way made Li Yue suffer a lot.

After Ran Min established the country, he was busy fighting all day long, and the official roads were no longer the same, the big pits were connected to the small pits, and the horses' hooves stepped into it, directly throwing people out of the three zhang and couldn't get up for half a day.

This is true of the counties of Hebei, and the same is true of the regions of Henan.

What was originally a two-day journey took four days.

Although the rugged road could slightly restrict the southward movement of the Yan cavalry, it also severely restricted the projection of its own troops and the transportation of materials.

Nowadays, the territory of Liang is not small, and the grain and grass from all over Hebei have to be transported from the three states of Qingyan and Henan.

Waterways can solve the problem of grain and grass transportation, but cannot solve the problem of troop projection, and many places have no waterways, so they can only take land routes.

Moreover, the uncontrollability of the waterway is relatively large, floods, droughts, and the enemy's dams will affect the waterways.

If you want to get rich, build roads first.

Wherever the road is repaired, Li Yue's control over the place will be extended.

Taking advantage of the heavy snowfall, Li Yue ordered all counties to organize people to repair roads, and how much could be repaired.

Wait until next year's spring ploughing to carry out large-scale development.

Li Yue inspected the Yellow River, there was no war, all parts of the country were revitalized, and the number of villages increased a lot.

It is no longer the miserable appearance of a few years ago when there was no one for thousands of miles and no roosters crowing.

However, the few baby corpses he saw on the road cast a shadow on Li Yue's heart.

If the people do not want to give birth, or they cannot afford to raise it, it means that the problem is more serious.

Wang Jun, a famous general of the Western Jin Dynasty, was too punctual for Ba County, the soldiers worked hard, the people were hard-working, and many men were not raised, and they were abandoned.

There is nothing new under the sun, and what is happening in front of us has been reincarnated countless times in history.

The guards found the local pavilion chief, or the old soldier of the Black Cloud Army who retired due to disability, recognized Li Yue as soon as they met, and knelt directly on one knee, "The dead soldier of the forward battalion greets His Highness!" ”

Li Yue looked at his broken arm, and the anger in his heart subsided a lot, "Why are there children's corpses?" ”

"These children died at birth, His Royal Highness released 100,000 women from the Ye Palace, promised to marry others, encouraged marriage, and gave birth to more children this year, and died a lot." The big eyes of the koji face are sincere, not as if they are fake.

The words of the old soldier of the Black Cloud Army, Li Yue naturally believed it.

They don't have to deceive themselves.

The worst thing in the troubled times is that women still have children, it is difficult to survive, often do not have enough to eat, hunger and cold, and they get married early before they reach the age of childbearing, and the death rate is naturally high.

Of the thirteen emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty, five of them did not live past the age of ten, and even more members of the imperial family died young.

Li Yue sighed, after all, he didn't do it on his side, "Get up and speak, how are you doing after you retire?" ”

Lu Damu was flattered, "There are one hundred and fifty acres of fertile land under the subordinates, three female slaves, two female slaves are pregnant with cubs this year, and in two months, they will be born, and next year they are going to buy two field slaves to help with farming." ”

"Great goodness!" Li Yue was in a better mood.

The Hu people have oppressed the Han people for decades, and it is time for them to pay back the debt, and it is already merciful not to kill them all.

The slaves were able to survive, and they gradually got used to it.

Those who don't adapt to it can't live now.

After asking about some other things, Li Yue led his own troops back to Yecheng.

After the country's middle school is stabilized, there are many people who are married, and if the premature mortality rate can be reduced, the population will inevitably increase greatly.

Li Yue summoned Yueji to discuss.

"It was the negligence of the little sister, who studied medical books and taught medical skills during this time, and stayed at home, so that a tragic incident happened." Tsukihime directly admitted her mistake.

"Do you have a plan?"

"Brother, rest assured, there are more than 13,000 people in the women's camp and medical camp, and medical clinics can be set up in various counties and counties to save lives and help the wounded, and to deliver babies and take care of babies."

"Yes."

Professional things are left to professional people to do.

Tsukihime is delicate, and the women's camp and medical camp in her hand are the most suitable for doing these things.
