Chang'an experienced drastic changes, and the army under the command of King Hejian in the Sili area could not remain still.

When Li Jue, Guo Si and others arrived outside Chang'an City, Wang Yue had already passed the information to Duan Jue and Tian Feng.

Tian Feng was in charge of the government, restored the people's livelihood in the three counties, and served as military advisor; Duan Qiao was in charge of the army, protecting the people of the three counties.

Duan Yan: "Yuan Hao, although the Lord has given us the right to make decisions on the fly, Li and Guo have gathered 10,000+ people. With such a scale, what should we do?"

Tian Feng also felt that it was outrageous. Dong Zhuo was severely injured by the princes of Shandong and recovered in just one year?
"I can only say that the nobles in the Sili area are extremely rich!"

The more Tian Feng thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became. How much supplies would be needed? !waste!
Tian Feng: "General, Chang'an will definitely fall. According to the nature of the Xiliang people, they will definitely be more brutal than when Dong Zhuo was there. It is a foregone conclusion that the whole country will be filled with mourning."

If Duan Ji was ten years younger, he would definitely not sit idly by, but now...it can only be said that time is not forgiving. Duan Ji can take charge of the army only by relying on his prestige in the army. Zhang Huan, who is also the "Sanming of Liangzhou", Huangfu's regulations have long since become a pile of loess, and only Duan Jiong remains.

Tian Feng: "General, I wonder if we can order people to cross the Yellow River, capture Tongguan, and take Hongnong back."

"Hongnong?"

"Yes, accept the refugees. We will capture Hongnong and stop moving eastward. We will leave a buffer zone for Jingzhao and tell them that we do not want to go to war with them, but they must not hinder us from accepting refugees."

"Yuan Hao, now the Xiliang army is in Chang'an, and Tongguan is just a decoration. It is easy to capture Tongguan, but if we accept more refugees, the three counties of Sili have not recovered from the war, and Jizhou is still recovering. Then we will spread the stalls outside. Logistics Can you bear it?"

Of course Tian Feng knew Duan Jiong's concerns. If there was not enough material supply to accept the refugees, it would easily cause riots. Then the three counties that had finally settled down would fall into chaos again. This responsibility...

Tian Feng gritted his teeth: "General, don't worry, I will go to Jinyang personally to let them free up supplies."

Seeing Tian Feng's behavior, Duan Yan was not shy, "I will let Duan Xuan lead 5000 people to capture Tongguan."

Balhae County.

Liu Han, who was in Nanpi, also received intelligence from Chang'an. It was only a matter of time before Li Jue and Guo Bang invaded Chang'an. Liu Han was just thinking about how to gain maximum benefit from the chaos.

"Fengxiao, are you here?"

Guo Jia walked in: "Lord, Li Yan is here."

Li Yan: "Your Majesty, Li Yan, pays homage to the Lord."

Liu Han: "Zhengfang (characterized by Li Yan), when did you arrive?"

Li Yan: "Just arrived."

Liu Han: "Thank you for your hard work. The Bohai Sea is full of waste, especially the southern connection with Qingzhou. It will be the front line of the war in the future. You have a heavy burden on you."

Li Yan thought on the way here that Bohai would inevitably become the front line of conflict in the future. This was the lord's trust in him and also the lord's test for him.

Li Yan: "My Lord, there are fifty thousand troops in Bohai County. The princes dare not invade. The most important thing at the moment is to stabilize the people's livelihood as soon as possible. When I come to Bohai this time, in addition to myself, there are also [-] students and some supplies. If everything goes well, with spring plowing next year, stability will be restored to the Bohai Sea."

Generally speaking, post-war reconstruction can take at least half a year or as long as several years, but Li Yan said that it only takes four months, and the time is tight and the task is heavy.

Liu Han: "Zhengfang, do you know that there is no such thing as joking in the army?"

Li Yan: "My lord, Bohai County has been seriously harmed by Gongsun Zan. With this purge, as long as the place is stabilized, I am confident."

Since everything was said to this point, Liu Han chose to believe Li Yan, "Go down and rest first, and do it boldly." Li Yan: "Here."

After Li Yan left, Liu Han looked at Guo Jia: "How?"

Guo Jia: "My lord, Zhengfang's personal abilities are beyond compare. He is well-equipped in culture, skills and military skills, but his character..."

Liu Han naturally knew that Li Yan had some flaws in his character, "So, how about bringing Jun Yi here?"

"Wonderful!" After hearing this, Guo Jia praised: "General Zhang He is good at adapting, and together with Zheng Fang, they complement each other."

One thing Guo Jia didn't say was that although Zhang He's status in the army was not high, Zhang He was a retainer who followed Liu Han from birth to death. Li Yan and Zhang He were just right!

Liu Han changed the subject: "Fengxiao will take a look at the latest Chang'an information first."

Guo Jia took the information, browsed it and pondered for a while, "My lord, if the nobles in Chang'an cannot hold it, Chang'an will be a river of blood in the future, and the emperor..."

Of course Liu Han knew Liu Xie's situation, "Don't worry about it. As long as I am here, the emperor's life will not be in danger."

Now Liu Han is very confused. Allowing Li Jue and Guo Bang to disturb Sanfu will indeed kill the nobles of Sanfu, but it will also hurt more innocent people.But sending troops to Chang'an now is inconsistent with our strategic policy.

After thinking for a while, Liu Han decided: "Let Tian Feng be responsible for accepting the refugees from the Sanfu area. The population of the Sili area has suddenly decreased a lot. The population from Sanfu is just used to fill the gap. The refugees received from the south will be transferred to Sanfu later." ,fill vacancy."

Guo Jia nodded, that was all he could do.

Nothing else, the main reason is that the Sanfu area has not recovered after 200 years, and it really cannot afford to be hurt.

On the eve of Wang Mang's usurpation of the Han Dynasty in 2 AD: Jing Zhaoyin, 68.Zuo Fengyi, 92.You Fufeng, 84, a total of more than 240 million.

During Emperor Shun's reign, the national population had recovered to at least two-thirds of that of the Western Han Dynasty, but Guanzhong lagged far behind the national increase.Jing Zhaoyin, 29.Zuo Fengyi, 14.You Fufeng, 9, is just a small number of people.

The impact of Wang Mang and Chi Mei on the annihilation of the Guanzhong population was too shocking. The population base was wiped out by the scourge, and it has not been able to recover for more than 100 years.

After Li Jue and Guo Si brought disaster to Chang'an, the population was almost zero again. From this moment on, the value of Guanzhong as a strategic base to influence history would almost cease to exist in the next hundred years.

No matter how fertile the country is, no matter how vast the country is, nothing can be done without people. In ancient times, population was the basis for success.

Therefore, Liu Han had to grasp this point. The population of Guanzhong was definitely more than 52. After all, the gentry liked to hide their population, and there were 80.

Now, the focus is still on Jizhou. This time 17 troops are sent to win here.

Yecheng.

Yuan Shao received Cao Cao's letter and made a decision in his heart. Even if he didn't want to, Yuan Shao still chose to go south and Jizhou didn't want it.

"Transmit the order! Order Han Meng to be the vanguard of the march south. Chunyu Qiong will lead his family and supplies behind, followed by the army. I will personally lead the elite troops to seize the rear."

Yuan Shao's decision will inevitably cause harm to the local nobles in Jizhou. Now they face two choices. One is to leave their hometown and go with Yuan Shao. If there is a chance to return home together in glory, this is a huge gamble with no hope.The second is to choose to betray Yuan Shao and stay in Jizhou. But Jizhou changes hands, how should we face the King of Hejian?How should the King of Hejian deal with himself and his family?Judging from the attitude of the King of Hejian towards the nobles in the Sili area, his family is likely to be destroyed.

"Ugh!"

Cui Yan looked at the gloomy sky and said, "This winter is getting colder and colder." (End of Chapter)
