Three Kingdoms: Everything Can Be Gamified

Chapter 391 Xianbei goes south
What happened to Er Qiao?

When Duke Qiao came to Chang'an, the concubine selection here had ended.

It is impossible for Liu Bei to expand his harem infinitely, although he can do that.

Besides, Mr. Qiao is only from a wealthy family in Lujiang, not from a humble family.

Er Qiao's beauty has spread all over the world, and it is also due to Qiao Gong's contribution to spreading the news everywhere. The reason is that he is still waiting for a price.

Duke Qiao, who missed the opportunity to enter the palace, never thought of going back.One is the war in Jiangdong, and the other is peace in Guanzhong.

I would rather be a peace dog than a person in troubled times. The main reason is that there are many dignitaries here and there are opportunities everywhere.

Normally speaking, if he could catch two sons of a wealthy family and marry one of the two Qiaos despite his family's objections, Mr. Qiao would be considered a profit.

Naturally, Liu Bei also heard about this. The problem was that he was not greedy for women, not to mention that there were so many new concubines in the palace.

Furthermore, Qiao Gong's background is of little help to him, and if the two Qiaos are allowed to enter the palace at the same time, their proportion in the harem will be too high.

If you marry one person alone and the other person marries someone else, he and you will become brothers-in-law.

The most helpless thing is that my queen, Zhang, is not very good at palace fighting...

And because he is the Zhang family of Zhuo County and is related to Zhang Fei and Zhang He, it is the most perfect marriage for Liu Bei.

It can be said that if Zhang He had not planned to go on an expedition outside the territory and Liu Feng succeeded to the throne, he would immediately be assisted by Zhang He and Zhang Fei.

The second generation, and possibly even the third generation, will be able to secure the throne unless they squander themselves.

Liu Bei is no longer the street kid in Zhuojun, he is also growing rapidly.

Er Qiao had a beautiful reputation, but it was of no use to him, so he turned a blind eye.

At this point, the matter has come to an end for the time being.

Compared with the problems in the harem, Liu Bei is now more concerned about the situation on the front line.

Sun Ce captured Yangzhou and quickly attacked Runan County, while forming an alliance with Cao Cao.

The person you originally wanted to fight for turned out to be on your opposite side.

Liu Bei couldn't help but wonder, was he so unpopular?
Liu Biao was at the end of his strength, and sooner or later he would be kidnapped and surrendered.

But do Cai and Kuai really think that they are stupid?
Zhang Fei has already reported Liu Pan's matter. It can be said that Liu Bei has no good impressions of Cai and Kuai at all.

Liu Zhang acted like a coward, but it was only a matter of time before he was dealt with...

There is peace in the north, so there is no need to consider it for the time being.

On the Yanzhou side, Guan Yu will officially launch an attack on Qingxuzhou after autumn.

How many troops does Cao Cao have?
Under the absolute suppression of strength, defeat is only a matter of time.

Nowadays, the situation in the world has completely tilted towards his side, and several other small forces are just hanging on.

Liu Bei was a little complacent, to put it bluntly, he was a little embarrassed. After all, when he was wandering the streets, he really never thought that this day would come to him.

At that time, I thought that it would be good to be able to promote filial piety and integrity into official positions.

I was thinking that since the situation was so stable, I would like to go on a personal expedition to attack Yizhou or something...

But thinking of the promise made to Zhang He in the past, he could only suppress this idea.

I also thought about the locust plague this year. Although it was eliminated before it reached a large scale, the weather is still a bit dry.

The crops improved by Zhang He are drought-tolerant, but the problem also consumes a lot of fertility.

If top dressing cannot keep up, soil fertility will be destroyed.

The most urgent task is to fight drought and ensure harvest.

When there are sufficient supplies in the rear, we can fight at the front without any worries.

At this point, Duke Qiao has been waiting in Chang'an for a year.

This year, Er Qiao still couldn't find a good match, but she went to the library to read and accumulated a lot of knowledge.

During this period, it also attracted many scholars, but when Duke Qiao came to Chang'an, his horizons were high and he didn't want to give in.

I happened to hear that Zhang He had another concubine, and she was Zhen Yi's youngest daughter, who was said to be very beautiful.

Qiao Gong thought for a while and finally took Er Qiao to Jinyang.

Having been in Chang'an for so long, he naturally knew Zhang He's reputation and status.

In particular, he has a very good attitude towards his wives and concubines. Even if his legitimate daughter used to be his concubine, she would not feel wronged.After all, after assuming his identity, why didn’t he give his daughter away?

Not to mention Zhen Yi, the great minister of the imperial court and a real upstart, also sent his daughter to him as a concubine.

Zhang He kept many concubines for a period of time, and then stopped taking concubines at all for several years.

Many people didn't know what he was thinking. Later, when they saw him taking concubines, they realized that his vision had become higher.

A family that realizes there is hope for their daughter will naturally find ways to go to Jinyang and try every means to create opportunities for Zhang He to get to know their daughter.

There are really a lot of gifts for women, but there are too many female relatives in his family. Besides, they are not even historical beauties, and they are not that helpful to his career and development. Zhang He just looks down on them.

If he really wants to open an unlimited harem and accept all comers, now he can gather at least [-] harem beauties.

"Xianbei went south?" Zhang He didn't know the news about Duke Qiao's arrival. He only knew that there was news from Yanmen that Bu Dugen was going south.

Not only Bu Dugen, but Ke Bineng was also harassing Youzhou. Apparently he heard about the war in Hebei and felt that the Han Dynasty was internally unstable.

Another point, and the most important point, is that Zhang He did not open a border market.

Not to mention Bu Dugen and Ke Bineng, all the tribes in Eastern Xianbei couldn't sit still: Since you don't want to trade, then we will come directly to grab it!
As mentioned before, if Zhang He intends to play economic tactics, he can indeed open a side market.

Take care of whichever side is stronger, slowly draining Xianbei's war potential.

It's just that he finds this very troublesome. To say the least, the territory occupied by Xianbei, the resources within it, and even the population of Xianbei are, in Zhang He's view, his own spoils of war.

Then there is no need to let them fight for so long, just kill them early and then march into the grassland one after another.

Unfortunately, the grassland is not suitable for farming. Not only is the climate cold and dry, but the soil structure also makes it unsuitable for farming.

The cost of improving the soil is too high, and desertification must also be avoided.

However, large-scale planting of pasture, feeding livestock through silage fodder, and then intensive grazing, using animal husbandry to maintain the economy, and cooperating with the development of mining, may not necessarily prevent them from settling on the grassland.

Especially when hot pots, cotton coats and coal are put into use one after another, as long as they can survive the winter, nothing is a problem.

After all, Chinese people can use the twice-yearly rainfall to store water in arid places for various daily needs.

In this way, everyone can survive tenaciously.

The grassland peoples can survive on the grasslands, why can’t the Chinese people?
It is nothing more than optimizing and adjusting the life style of the Hu people. Finally, the vast grassland can naturally support more Chinese people.

As long as there are no problems with cultural inheritance, there will be no danger of becoming a Muslim, or at least the risk of becoming a Muslim will be reduced.

I originally thought I would start going north next year, but I didn't expect Xianbei to be unable to sit still and go south.

"Come on!" Zhang He ordered, "Get supplies ready and prepare to go north! By the way, tell Zhao Ang to go west as appropriate!"

The Southern Xiongnu didn't attack, but they didn't say that they couldn't attack. Shuofang County was still China's territory, so it would naturally be taken back.

Although it is arid and even somewhat desertified...

But even if it becomes salinized, you have to find a way to improve it. If it doesn't work, you can also raise shrimps/fish in the desert. It is nothing more than improving the species and adjusting the cost of salt water!
Later generations also did sand control for so many years, with remarkable results.

Many technologies, even if used in ancient times, would have no problems.

After making some arrangements, seeing that it was already getting late, I went to the office and went home.

Xianbei went south, and he was about to go north to fight. He had to communicate this matter with his family no matter what.

I really didn’t expect that more than two months after I came back, I would have to go to war again...

　By the way, in Jingtai County, Gansu Province, desert shrimp/fish farming has now been successful, and shrimp and fish can also be eaten in the mainland.In theory, the impact of nuclear radiation will be much smaller, and the price is definitely not very friendly.

　　However, when it comes to the proportion of seawater ingredients, the formula may need to be made by Zhang He himself, but in theory it can be done.

　　To say that Liu Bei should not be so lustful, there are not many wives and concubines, excluding those who were captured by Cao Cao and those who died on the road.

　　There are records of Empress Wu (childless), Sun Shi (Sun Shangxiang), Mrs. Gan (born Liu Chan), and Mrs. Mi (childless).There may also be two or three concubines. After all, the biological mothers of Liu Yong and Liu Li are unknown.

　　Just make some assumptions and confirm that Liu Bei is a career-oriented man and his requirements for women are not that high.

　　The identity of the Gan family is also worthy of scrutiny. After all, it is understandable that the Mi family is related to Mi Zhu. And by coincidence, I discovered that Tao Qian's wife is also surnamed Gan, so I speculate that she is a tribesman of Tao Qian's wife.

　　There is a high probability that she is a niece, so she is the cousin of Tao Qian's two sons. Liu Bei adopted Gan's family, and he is also considered an in-law with Tao Qian's son. On this basis, Tao Qian felt free to give Xuzhou to him.

　　Of course it's just speculation, who knows what the facts are, just laugh it off, there's no need to delve into it.

　　Ask for collection, ask for recommendation, ask for subscription!
