Chapter 128 Construction of Youzhou!

Cao Cao looked left and right at the battle report, as if he wanted to thoroughly understand the young hero described in the battle report, which was only a hundred words long.

Judging from the current situation, with the current posture and weather of Gongsun Road, he might not be able to satisfy his ambition just by conquering Youzhou. I am afraid that this young man's ambition will also sweep the world!

He has one more opponent to conquer the world!
Now Cao Cao began to be wary of this force that he had not cared about before!He is not the arrogant son of Yuan Shao, he will never underestimate his opponent!
However, Cao Mengde was indeed Cao Mengde, and he quickly recovered his mentality.

There was a hint of admiration on his slightly dark and thin face, "He is indeed the son of the former General White Horse. Sure enough, a tiger father has no dog son!"

Gongsun Lu attacked Wuhuan and eliminated one side of the trouble for our great men!

Xun Lingjun, please give me pen and paper in person. I want to ask the emperor for a title for General Gongsun Lu! "

What Cao Cao said now was true. Back then, Boss Cao was still an ambitious young man with dreams.

His biggest dream at that time was to leave in his epitaph the name of the general who conquered the Western Han Dynasty, so he naturally yearned for generals like Wei Huo who could conquer the Hu captives and their deeds!
The career and achievements that Gongsun Lu is now doing are the achievements that he dreamed of when he was a boy!

He simply uttered the well-known saying of later generations, "Birds should be like Gongsun Lang!"

Xun Yu immediately sat down after hearing this and looked at Cao Cao's current expression with admiration. What he admired most was Cao Cao's always calm attitude!
The expression of people's passion may not increase the success rate of what they do, but it can undoubtedly unite and attract the hearts of those around them!
At this time, Lu Bu, who was looking for Chen Deng's remnants in Xuzhou, heard that Gongsun Lu defeated Yuan Shao's army and defeated Wuhuan. He immediately straightened up on Chitu, crossed his arms, looked up to the sky and laughed loudly and said, "You are indeed my son-in-law, Lu Fengxian. Hahaha! I, Lu Bu, have the foresight to find such a promising son-in-law like me!"

He didn't even notice that Chen Gong was looking at him with a look of disgust on his side. You have a bad reputation on the street, but you still have a future!
Yuan Shu, who was also in Shouchun at the same time, looked at the battle report in his hand with a mocking look, "So, Yuan Shao not only lost a hundred thousand troops, but also lost the huge Youzhou!"

Yuan Shu had not dealt with his elder brother since he was a child, but when he heard that Yuan Shao had suffered such a big loss, he felt very happy at this moment!
"This slave is really useless. He is a disgrace to my Yuan family!"

Yang Hong, the counselor who stood under Yuan Shu's command, was flattering Yuan Shu at this moment: "Yes, if the lord takes action, there will be no Gongsun Lu's majesty. There is really no hero who makes Zhuzi famous!"

Yuan Shu laughed triumphantly at the table, thinking to himself, "Now that this slave's power has been suppressed, that matter should be almost done!"

After saying that, he looked down at Sun Ce, who was standing in the last row, with a trace of pride and excitement that he was bound to win flashing in his eyes!
But Sun Ce, who was standing at the bottom, did not notice Yuan Shu's eyes, but lowered his head very lowly.Look at the smooth ground beneath your feet.

In the past, there were two generals in the Han Dynasty who were most famous for their military exploits. One was the White Horse General Gongsun Zan, and the other was his father Sun Jian, the Tiger of Jiangdong.

Now Gongsun Zan's son has revitalized his family business in the north and dominated a state. He even defeated Yuan Benchu, the most powerful prince in the world, and his reputation has spread throughout the Han Dynasty!
As for myself, not to mention being much older than others, I am still under Yuan Shu's hand and cannot stretch!

This made Sun Ce feel very painful in his heart. It seemed that it was time for his good brother Zhou Gongjin to make up his mind about what he said!

At this moment, Liu Bei, who was still in Langya, had a complicated look on his face after hearing that Gongsun Lu had defeated Yuan Shao's army. He could not compare to Gongsun Zan before, but now his sons have become heroes in the north!

But he was still trapped in the quagmire surrounded by Cao Cao and Lu Bu, which made Liu Bei who was running around full of bitterness!

As for Liu Biao in Jingzhou and Liu Zhang in Yizhou, their territories are too far away from the North, so they don't particularly care about this war!

Gongsun Lu didn't pay attention to the evaluations of those princes about him at the moment. He was very busy at the moment, dealing with various official affairs every day, busy dealing with things in Youzhou.

His territory has more than doubled, and there are naturally many more government affairs to manage. He has urgently heard from Bing Yuan and Guan Ning who were managing political affairs and provoking food and grass in Liaodong.

Fortunately, the current government affairs process in Liaodong is very mature. Without the person in charge, there will be no problem for a while, and I now have a few more good helpers.

Jia Kui, whom Zhuge Jin brought back from Huguan, was an official. Although he was quite young, he was very capable.

At the same time, Zhang Hong, who Gongsun Lu had been sending people to visit in Lujiang and Yuzhang, also came to Youzhou. He was moved by Gongsun Lu's sincerity in seeking talents many times, so he agreed to serve in Liaodong!
In addition, Gongsun Lu defeated Wuhuan, defeated Yan Liang's army, and captured Youzhou, which added a lot of fame to him. Many literati from all over the world joined his command!

The more outstanding ones include Sun Qian from Qingzhou, Tian Chou from Youzhou, Yan Zhen from Xuzhou, Lu Dai from Guangling in Xuzhou, Fa Yan from Liangzhou and others!
They are all talented people from various states and counties. With their help, Youzhou's internal affairs went through a blank period in an instant!
Gongsun Lu and others have very tight tasks during this period, because Yuan Shao's expedition this time mostly recruited local civilians in Youzhou. After several months of fighting, spring plowing was delayed a lot.

But now that Youzhou has become Gongsun Lu's own territory, feeding these people has become Gongsun Lu's job.

Gongsun Lu was anxious to summon these celebrities and talents, and held a short meeting very directly with Liaodong characteristics!

Then, according to the specific situation in Youzhou and the thoughts of the people of Gongsun Road, the initial strategy of using work for relief was set, and the people in Youzhou were expropriated to build infrastructure, dredge rivers, open mountains and build roads, etc. with money and food.

Although "relief for work" is as simple as one sentence, the practice is very complicated!Although Gongsun Lu's group of talents have never heard of this term, they have to say that their lord's new policy is very good.

Therefore, a plan and personnel division of labor were made, with Gongsun Lu taking the lead and Zhang Hong responsible for overall deployment.

Talents such as Jia Kui and Sun Qian who were able to take charge of their own affairs each allocated a part of the area and mobilized the people to start work!
Fortunately, Gongsun Lu's army had captured hundreds of thousands of dan of military rations in Yuyang and Nanpi before. In addition, after emergency transfer of some grain from Liaodong, part of the gap for spring plowing was made up!
On the other hand, the young Guoyuan took over the work of Bing Yuan and Guan Ning and began to take charge of the government affairs in Liaodong. At the same time, he also cooperated with Tian Yu in Liucheng to transfer the small half of Wuhuan that was originally retained by Wuhuan. Women and children migrated to the peninsula plains of Samhan.

Although Liaodong has been developed and reclaimed for several years, the land here on the peninsula is still very vast and sparsely populated.

He arranged for many officials from the Han family to help these Wuhuan women and children start to open up land. In addition, after hundreds of years of development, Wuhuan basically also carried out some farming in addition to nomadic herding.

Guoyuan is confident that the land will bind these Wuhuan people on horseback. In a few decades, they will become subjects of the Han family like the Sanhan tribe there!

Most of the Wuhuan people were moved away, and the grassland left in the north of Youzhou and the Gongsun Road were not wasted.

With Liucheng as the center, he established many pastures on the grassland, specifically responsible for domesticating horses, cattle and sheep, and sent [-] knights to take charge of defense. At the same time, he built stone fortresses on each pasture to control the local water sources and establish textile mills.

This series of operations is like a rope pulling cattle and sheep, pulling the remaining Wuhuan people, and providing Gongsun Lu's men with an endless supply of war horses, beef, mutton, and woolen textiles!
I have to say that Guoyuan did a very good job, which made Gongsun Lu feel relieved and handed over all the government affairs of Liaodong and the grassland to him!
