Established a thousand-year family from the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 374 Yuan Zhao (Thirteen)
A few months later
Winter of the 15th year of Marquis Yan
After calling on all the people in the world to mourn for Wang Jue, Yuan Shao did not heed Wang Jue's dying advice. After establishing the Mobei Protectorate, he couldn't even wait for the time to recuperate and digest the grassland, so he couldn't wait to start the plan of the Southern Expedition.

In this Southern Expedition, there were 19 cavalry from Yuan and Zhao, 80 cavalry from tigers and leopards, [-] cavalry servants from the Southern Huns, [-] cavalry servants from the Qiang and Hu, [-] cavalry servants from Xianbei, [-] infantry from Yuan and Zhao, and [-] recruits. [-] troops, known as [-] troops to the outside world!
These [-] recruits were originally captured by Wang Jue in the war and were used to farm the fields, but they were pulled into the army by Yuan Shao to join the battle.

Yuan Zhao's army is either exhausted from continuous fighting, or the loyalty of the servant army is worrying, or the recruits have no combat effectiveness, and all of them are northern soldiers who are not familiar with water warfare and are prone to acclimatization.

Yuan Shao is 72 years old this year, he really can't wait for 20 years, let alone 20 years, he can't wait for five years, he is afraid that he will not see the unification of the world even if he dies.

This Southern Expedition can be said to be Yuan Zhao's most luxurious lineup so far, with all the generals and advisors on the field.

Royal Palace
main hall
"Liu Bei, the Marquis of Nanyang, disrespected the imperial court and attacked the princes without authorization. Please kill the traitor Liu Bei, sweep away the imperial court, and secure the world!"

After Yuan Shao finished speaking, all the officials in the hall echoed: "Please kill the traitor Liu Bei!"

"General Duyi!" The Han Emperor Liu Xie had no real power at all, so he could only agree.

Another month later, the twelfth lunar month

It was snowing heavily, and Yuan Shao's army had assembled and was marching towards Ye County, Nanyang County.

There is an entrance and exit between the Nanyang Basin and the Central Plains, which is called the Fangcheng Passage. The northern end of the passage is [Ye County], and the southern end of the passage is [Kunyang]. These two cities block both ends of the passage.

Kunyang was occupied by Yuan Zhao to prevent Liu Bei from going north, and Ye County was occupied by Liu Bei to prevent Yuan Jun from going south.

Both cities have their own classic stories.

Kunyang is familiar to everyone. When Wang Mang's 42 army besieged Kunyang City and wanted to open the passage into the Nanyang Basin, the result happened to be heavy rain for several months, and there were meteors passing by at night. The 42 Xinmang army was finally captured by Liu Xiusan. The defeat of a thousand elite cavalry has become a classic discussed by generations.

As for Ye County, there is also a story, that is [Ye Gong loves dragons], Ye County is the fiefdom of the protagonist Ye Gong in the story.

Yuan Shao's 20 troops marched south, which shocked Liu Bei. He had never fought against such a huge army in his life, and the largest one was only tens of thousands when he competed with Sun Quan for Jingzhou.

Just when the situation in the world is turbulent...

Liaodong
Zhangjia Manor
"I think this land exchange plan is feasible. We only have nine cities in Liaodong, and they are all small towns adjacent to poor villages that have not been well developed. The Wang family's fief East County has fifteen counties and is located in the Central Plains. You don’t have to worry about being invaded by barbarians, and all fifteen counties are big and rich counties, if you exchange nine small poor counties for fifteen big rich counties, is there anything better in the world?” The Patriarch of the Zhang family said The land exchange plan proposed by Wang Kuan was approved.

Two years ago, Jiacheng Wang Yi died of illness, so the 60-year-old Wang Kuan was elected as the new Jiacheng.

For the Wang family's fief East County in the Central Plains, the Wang family feels a little tricky, manage it, it's too far away, the enclave, it's inconvenient, just return it to the imperial court, don't want it, sell it, no one can afford it!

In the end, after much deliberation, the Wang family came up with the idea of ​​exchanging the fief for the Liaodong land.

The Wang family transferred the fief Dongjun to the Zhang family, and then the Zhang family moved to Dongjun, and finally all the land of the Zhang family in Liaodong was given to the Wang family.

Such a land exchange plan.

Under normal circumstances, no one wants to change land. After all, if you are unfamiliar with the place, it will be more difficult to develop.

But the land exchange plan of the Wang family is too tempting. You can exchange nine small cities in the frontier for fifteen large cities in the Central Plains. This is a wonderful thing!

The children of the Zhang family discussed for a long time, and finally most of them agreed to this plan.

To be able to move away from the cold and remote Liaodong, which is threatened by barbarians, and migrate to the more fertile Central Plains, and the interests of your own family will not only not be damaged, but also benefited. Is there any reason not to agree to this?

This is not the same as the "Yi Ling" in the former Han Dynasty.

The [Yiling] of the former Han Dynasty only gave you 20 yuan in compensation after you were moved away, but Zhang’s monthly income was more than 20 yuan, and 20 yuan was not enough for Zhang’s teeth, so it must be wrong. Willing to move!

There are no nail households, but the compensation is not satisfied.

If the former Han court could give each family 100 billion compensation, I don’t believe that the tyrants would not move to the mausoleum!

But this is definitely impossible, let alone 100 billion, if each family gives [-] million, the big man will go bankrupt in an instant.

All problems are economic problems in essence, and they are problems caused by lack of money. If you have money, it will naturally be solved easily.

After the Zhang family agreed to the [Land Exchange Plan], the Wang family was very happy, the Zhang family was also very happy, and even the Li family was also very happy.

The Zhang family was happy because they felt they had made a profit. Isn’t it blood money to exchange a small frontier city for a big city in the Central Plains?

The Wang family was happy because the enclave of the Dongjun fiefdom was finally dealt with. This enclave was a tasteless place for the Wang family. It was too far away and difficult to manage. It was reluctant to give it up.

The Li family is happy because their territory is finally directly bordering the Wang family, and it will be more convenient to do business with the Wang family in the future.

After Wang Kuan received the news that the Zhang family had agreed, he took the initiative to send people to help the Zhang family move, and borrowed boats and carriages to the Zhang family for free, so that they could move out of Liaodong faster, so that the Wang family could live in Zhangjiakou. The family is carrying out major construction on these lands in Liaodong.

On the Wang family's own site, many roads have been built and the city has been repaired. Now it is time to start construction on the new site.

The Zhang family's territory is located in the middle and upper reaches of the Liaohe Plain, the Wang family's territory is located in the lower reaches of the Liaohe Plain, and the Li family's territory is all in the mountains. The only plain is the long and narrow Liaoxi Corridor. It will be eroded by sea water, and the Liaoxi Corridor will not be stable until the Northern Song Dynasty.

Because of this, Liaodong in the Han Dynasty was actually not much more difficult than [Shu Road], and the degree of easy defense and difficult attack was only slightly inferior to Yizhou, which was a natural separatist area.

If the Central Plains wants to enter Liaodong, there are only three roads, the sea road, the mountain road, and the Liaoxi Corridor.

The sea routes are all the fleet of the Wang family, so they are not afraid at all. The mountain roads are difficult to supply, and the food roads are easily cut off, and large troops cannot pass through, so as long as you are vigilant, you are not afraid. As for the Liaoxi Corridor, it is eroded by sea water from time to time. It is not afraid to pass through the Liaoxi Corridor when the sea tide is low, because the Li family built the [Shanhai Pass] in the Liaoxi Corridor.

If the regime in the Central Plains cannot attack, what about the barbarians?

The barbarians had only two paths, either the mountain path or the upper reaches of the Liao River.

The mountain road is still the same, it is impassable for large troops, and it is enough to be vigilant. As for the upper reaches of the Liaohe River, it has been forcibly transformed into an impassable swamp by the three major families decades ago.

The entire Liaodong is a basin surrounded by mountains, swamps, and the sea. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and can develop independently.
