It is not easy for the 300,000 army to return north, and the auxiliary soldiers will need more than 100,000, and there are countless grains and grasses. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

As soon as Ding was summoned, he sat down, and these scholars asked Ding Yi to raise his noble hand and let Jiangdong have a way to live, Gu Yong took the lead and said: "The six counties of Jiangdong, since Sun Ce, have been fighting for many years, and the people are not making a living, Fang is about to end this summer, the ancients are planting in spring, summer is long, autumn harvest, and winter are hidden, if the army goes north, the young and strong men in Jiangdong are empty, and the coming year will be hungry everywhere, and the blessing of the country is also!"

Ding Yi realized that Sun Ce went south from Jianghuai to seize Jiangdong, and he did not fight every day, which caused great damage to Jiangdong.

Before Ding Yi's attack on Sun Ce, Sun Ce's army of more than 200,000 troops went north and looted all the counties in Jiangdong.

This is also the reason why Ding Yi went south, the Sun family's resistance was weak and the scholars raised trouble, and Sun Ce was unpopular in Jiangdong.

These scholars are rooted here, although they are a tumor of the Han Dynasty, but they are also the backbone of the stable place, and at this time, they jointly analyzed the difficulties of Jiangdong for Ding Yi, and wanted to ask Ding Yi to give him a chance to recuperate. Ding Yi promised to think carefully before making a decision.

After bidding farewell to these local representatives, he found Zhu Miao, the head of the Xuzhou Secret Spy Department, and asked Jiangdong about the people's livelihood, and came to a conclusion similar to the news provided by the Jiangdong Shi clan leader, Jiangdong's economy and people's livelihood were on the verge of collapse.

Zhu Miao sat in Xuzhou, spying on Jiangdong many times, this time to the south, his contribution is also very great, and the local forces thread the needle, and contribute a lot, this person Ding Yi plans to bring Xu Du to use.

Ding Yi convened all the generals and rewarded them for their meritorious deeds, and Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, Gan Ning, Huang Zhong, Hou Cheng, Wei Xu, Song Xian, Cen Ning and others made many military merits, all of whom were listed as candidates, and the whole army rejoiced.

He also ordered all armies to eliminate the old and weak, vigorously clear the army, get 150,000 strong soldiers, and leave 50,000 soldiers to the new Yangzhou assassin Liu Ye Liu Ziyang to suppress the place, Gan Ning and Ding Feng are naval talents, left to Liu Ye.

Preparing to return north, recruit Wei Yan, a young general in Jingzhou, Lu Xun, a young man from the Shi clan, and 100,000 troops and auxiliary soldiers such as Huang Zhong, a general in Changsha, and 10,000 auxiliary soldiers, return to the north, and the grain and grass will be supplied by the prefectures and counties along the way.

When going south, I was afraid that I would not be happy, so I returned to the north at this time, toured the mountains and rivers, met with the local officials and scholars of various states and counties along the road, and the whole army practiced martial arts, shocked the locality, and walked for a month before returning to Xudu.

There are still ten miles away from Xudu, and the Son of Heaven sent Lu Chang, the servant of the Yellow Gate, to inform Ding Yi in advance, and the Son of Heaven ordered hundreds of civil and military officials to replace him to meet the army returning from the expedition at the south gate of Xudu, and ordered the army to enter the city and go around the city to boast of martial arts, and then go out of the city to station! Lu Chang was extremely respectful, saying that he had never seen the Son of Heaven trust a person so much.

Ding Yi's life personally guarded the whole army, and the troops were thunderous and their morale was invigorated.

Five miles away from the city, Ding Yi ordered the whole army to stop, and all the troops must polish their armor, tidy up their appearance, and enter the capital with the fullest posture! Zhang Liao, Wei Xu, Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, and other generals wiped their armor and weapons again and again, and their faces were red with excitement.

Tanma kept coming and going.

Two miles away from the city, you can see the civil and military ministers, the whole army is holding their chests up, not squinting, trying to walk straight, and the cavalry also tries their best to arrange the sound of horses' hooves.

When the troops approached the city gate, the people on both sides cheered and shook the sky, and many guards knelt down on both sides of the city gate, shouting loudly: "Welcome to the triumph of the general!" The band played a triumphant song, and the soldiers of the whole army were more solemn, and more than 100,000 people did not say a word, only heard the sonorous iron armor, the footsteps brushed, and the people were shocked by the army, and the birds were silent!

Ding Yi rode Lu Fengxian's red rabbit horse, which was like coal, tall and majestic, and walked at the forefront of the army. This kind of ritual is also the first time for Ding Yi, slowly riding his horse forward.

In front of the city gate, nearly 100 civil and military ministers clasped their hands in front of their chests and bowed deeply: "Congratulations to the triumph of the general!"

When the first person was seven feet five inches tall, with a white face and big ears, facing the army, when he looked up, he saw that Ding Yi was about to dismount, hurriedly walked a few steps, held the reins of the red rabbit sideways, and said: "Liu Bei, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, is ordered by the Son of Heaven to lead the horse for the general, and guide the way forward in the street! The general must not dismount, and he will finish this journey." Xun You, Jia Xu and the others nodded opposite Ding Yi, and then the hundred officials parted on both sides.

"Good. Ding Yi agreed, and slowly walked forward with Liu Bei leading the horse, and the hundred officials escorted Ding Yi on both sides of the city gate in turn. The generals followed, followed by the guards.

Not far ahead, the servants hurriedly brought the horses, and the hundred officials got on the horses in batches, and Liu Bei also loosened the reins and got on the horses and walked side by side with Ding Yi.

The people on both sides, who had been quiet for a while, cheered again: "The Great Han is mighty!" "The Great General is mighty!" and "Long live the Son of Heaven!" ......

Liu Bei immediately bowed his hand to Ding Yi, with a sunny smile on his face: "The general is so young, except for Cao Cao, kill Sun Ce, eliminate harm for my Han and Ping thieves, and do a great job, Liu Bei is forty years old, but he has achieved nothing, he thinks about it, admires and admires!"

Ding Yi smiled and returned the salute: "It's a joke, Xuande Gong except Yuan Shu and Ping Lu Bu, defeated Yuan Shao's army twice, and beheaded the fierce general Wen Chou, and now he is serving as Zong Zhengqing, in charge of the Temple of the Son of Heaven, with a high and powerful position, how can he say that nothing has been accomplished?"

Liu Bei smiled slightly, and said reservedly: "The matter of Lu Bu, the Son of Heaven does not like it, don't mention it again! The great harm in the world, Cao Cao and Sun Ce! Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the candidates, and the world did not dare to disobey; Sun Ce used a brigade of lone soldiers, fought hard, and monopolized Jiangdong, who would dare to compete with them! These two people are really heroes!" After a pause, he continued: "Yuan Shu and his ilk, the rear is not quiet, and the soldiers are unstable, so they want to be called emperors, and they are so anxious that they should be defeated early, and it is not my credit; Yuan Shao saw Cao Cao's rebellion, and he was suspicious, Yan Liang, Wen Chou can't take charge of the situation alone, but he takes on the responsibility of the side, and if he employs people like this, sooner or later he will be captured by the general! These two people, relying on the advantages of their own life and the strength of their ancestors, are not heroes!"

Ding Yi smiled and said: "Xuande Gong is very knowledgeable, Cao Cao and Sun Ce all died in assassination, not in military politics, Ding is lucky!

The two sympathized with each other, were polite to each other, and went straight to the imperial city, where the Son of Heaven set up a banquet to wash the dust for the generals.

Under the guidance of the adjutant general, the soldiers of each department circled around the city, and went out of the city to return to the barracks.

In front of the gate of the imperial city, Emperor Liu Xie was wearing golden armor and riding on a tall horse, but Ding Yi didn't recognize it. Liu Xie greeted Ding Yi and the others: "Come, come, all Aiqing triumphant in removing the thief, and the heart is very relieved, thinking of Gaozu, the majestic posture of the founding of the country, leading the way for the Aiqing, riding a horse and traveling to the imperial city!"

Ding Yi led the generals to dismount and kneel on the ground: "The saint is loved, the ministers dare not be, and when the ministers see the Son of Heaven, they will be disarmed!" After three bows, the guards stepped forward and helped the generals take off their armor.

The hundred officials knelt down: "Please disarm the Son of Heaven and dismount, the imperial city is not allowed to ride the horse!"

Emperor Liu Xie was helpless, knowing that his naughtiness could not be supported, and said with a wry smile: "Qing and others are boring, so let's come and relieve the armor for the United Nations! I will personally celebrate the achievements of the Qing family, get up, come with me, and go!"

Liu Xie dismounted and unarmed, and under the escort of all the attendants and guards, beckoned Ding Yi to come forward to accompany him, Liu Bei followed closely behind, and the group of people went straight to the main hall.
