The Liaodong Iron Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 271 A New Beginning
"My lord father-in-law, after Huo Yu occupied Youzhou and Jizhou, the situation of one family's dominance has been formed! Because Yuan Shao was once again appointed as Yuzhou Shepherd!" Li Ru offered advice again.

Hearing Li Ruzhi's words, Dong Zhuo frowned and said nothing.Yuan Shao was hated by Dong Zhuo to the bone. Seeing Yuan Shao being deflated, Dong Zhuo was naturally willing, but how to explain this time he was named Yuzhou Mu?

"Father-in-law, the vassals in the pass are constantly fighting, which is a good time to further weaken their strength! Now that Cao Cao has basically won Yanzhou, Yuan Shu attacked Yuzhou but was jointly resisted by Kong Ni and Liu Biao. At this time, Yuan Shao is ordered to attack Yuzhou..." said the words Li Ru won't say much here, Dong Zhuo has fought all year round, so of course he can see the relationship between them.

"Of course our family knows what Wen You said, but our family is not happy!" Dong Zhuo said with a little anger.

"Father-in-law, those who achieve great things don't care about small things! Huo Yu's family is now the only one. If Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu have any strength, they will definitely unite to deal with Huo Yu. Once a fight breaks out, the Central Plains will definitely fall into the flames of war. Father-in-law Take this opportunity to recuperate, and then fight to conquer the world!" Li Ru continued to persuade.

After another silence for a while, Dong Zhuo agreed, as long as the Kwantung princes don't bother him!Besides, letting it fight internally is the best strategy. One day, one day you can send your troops out of the customs and fight to determine the world, and you will naturally be crowned the ninth five.

Li Ru's work efficiency is still very high, and it didn't take long for the two edicts to be carried out of Chang'an by the angel.However, what Li Ru didn't know was that he was plotting against Huo Yu, and Huo Yu was plotting against him too!

As the battle for Jizhou came to an end, Huo Yu returned to Jixian after making arrangements for everything in Jizhou.There are still many things to do here as the foundation for conquering the world in the future.As soon as he arrived in Ji County, Shi A appeared in front of Huo Yu again.

An Yuwei just sent back two messages from Chang'an. The first one is that the court of Chang'an has approved Huo Yu's memorial, and Jushou will be appointed as Jizhou Shepherd; the second message is that Yuan Shao will be appointed as Yuzhou Shepherd.

This move was not only expected by Huo Yu but also unexpected. It was expected that Dong Zhuo would once again be given Yuan Shao's official position.Unexpectedly, Yuan Shao was conferred the post of Yuzhou Shepherd, so Yuzhou will definitely fall into the hands of Yuan's family, and Kong Ni's end can already be met, and Liu Biao, a fool in the wall, will probably not have an easy time.

At present, it seems that Li Ru is really powerful. Once Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu gain a firm foothold, they will definitely join hands to deal with him.However, Li Ru ignored Yuan Shu as an outlier. After Sun Jian died in battle, his subordinates and Sun Ce's muffled remains would most likely have served under Yuan Shu's command as in history. This second product will definitely surprise everyone.

However, before dealing with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, Huo Yu still has one problem that must be resolved in advance.The civil war in Xianbei in the northern grassland is almost over. Although Wuhuan has surrendered, it does not mean that the northern border has been as stable as a mountain since then. There are still Xiongnu entrenched in the west, so the issue of Xianbei has once again been placed on the table.

Although Xianbei's strength is not as good as before, it is still a hidden danger after all. If this hidden danger is not eliminated, Huo Yu has no way to launch a campaign to unify the world with peace of mind.Cao Cao would never join forces with foreigners, but it was hard for Yuan Shao to say, if he did some tricks behind his back, it would not be a little trouble.Therefore, Huo Yu must take the initiative.

On the night when he returned to Ji County, Huo Yu found Xun You, Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia, the three of them, and of course Tian Feng who followed Huo Yu to Youzhou.The plan for conquest of Xianbei had to be formulated, but after discussions and discussions, many problems were discovered, so that the conquest had to be shelved.

After taking Jizhou, the number of soldiers trained according to the method of the Liaodong Army decreased significantly. Although many Jizhou troops were recruited, these people could not meet Huo Yu's requirements at all.Although the total number of troops under his command continued to increase, a series of problems came to him.

The first is the combat power of the soldiers. Since Jizhou is under control, there is naturally no need to worry about the food and grass for the expedition to Xianbei.However, the Xianbei people are brave and good at fighting, and now the combat power of the entire Youzhou army has dropped significantly. Huo Yu's wish to attack rashly is definitely not what he wants, so he must start training on a large scale.

The second is internal conflicts. Although the Wuhuan people have gradually integrated into the Han people under a series of relatively peaceful policies, after all, the time is still short and they have not completely integrated. If at this time, they lead an army to expedition to Xianbei, It is inevitable that some people with ulterior motives or other princes will take the opportunity to provoke conflicts, which will inevitably have adverse effects.

Again, it is the two external factors of Goguryeo and Buyeo.When Xianbei was strong, Goguryeo and Fuyu surrendered to Xianbei, and it was hard to guarantee that they would not send troops to attack and harass when the two sides were at war. Therefore, it was necessary for generals and soldiers to stay and defend.

The last thing is money. Now Youzhou, except for the four eastern counties, is undergoing large-scale construction according to the original plan. Jizhou must also invest a lot of money, which will inevitably affect the speed of armament replacement.

Combining the above reasons, the topic of Huo Yu and others gradually changed to the new policy.In Liaodong, Huo Yu encouraged business, which led to a large increase in commercial taxation. Therefore, Youzhou and Jizhou must strictly implement this law, so as to promote the stable and rapid development of the two states.

As a result, preparations for the conquest of Xianbei were postponed, and discussions began on new decrees.During the whole process, Tian Feng seldom opened his mouth. Once he opened his mouth, he must point to the crux of the problem. After repeated discussions among the people, all the questions raised were properly resolved.

Three days later, a new decree came out, Liaodong Xiangping was no longer the economic and military center, all of this had to revolve around Ji County, and all core departments had to be moved to Ji County.In order to avoid some unnecessary troubles in the future, Huo Yu insisted on the implementation of the policy of separating the military from the government, and that local officials have no right to mobilize the army, and the army cannot interfere with the local area.

Tax cuts, encouragement of business, garrison, road construction, salt and iron and other government orders came out one after another. The barracks were also changed from the previous open to the closed one requested by Huo Yu. Ordinary casual personnel could not enter at all, and outsiders could not see the barracks. internal situation.In addition, the decree to promote national integration was officially pushed to the fore.

Two new words, descendants of Yanhuang and Chinese nation, appeared in the eyes of everyone.The decree requires that the Han people and the foreign races they belong to be treated equally, but those who instigate ethnic conflicts, etc., will be severely punished regardless of whether they are Han people or foreign races.Although there are still many policies and decrees that Huo Yu wants to introduce, he knows that food needs to be eaten bite by bite, and Lu Yao walks step by step, and he still understands the truth that things must go against each other.

For the new government order, the people in You and Ji prefectures rejoice, especially for the big businessmen like the Mi family and the Zhen family, the new policy has benefited a lot.
