Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 153 The Final Return to Bingzhou 2
In the evening, Gongsun Xu arranged to hold a celebration banquet in the barracks. Liu Bian did not participate because he was not familiar with the lieutenant officers, and Gongsun Xu did not force it.At the same time, Gongsun Zan also said that he wanted to take a rest and happened to be with Liu Bian, so he didn't participate either.

In fact, Gongsun Xu knew in his heart that Liu Bian had a heart knot, and with this group of strangers, he would definitely not be able to adapt. In fact, his father was not directly subordinate to most of the soldiers in Bingzhou, so it was not convenient for him to participate.They did this, first to avoid embarrassment, and second, to make everyone have fun.

It is now in Jinyang City, which is the safest place, so, except for a few sergeants who have to watch the night, the rest will be given a gift and have the opportunity to participate in the celebration banquet.Even the soldiers who watch the night can get a few taels of wine and a few catties of meat. The northern Xinjiang is relatively poor, and the poor only have good wine and meat.

In the military camp, in Gongsun Xu's large tent, Gongsun Xu was having a drink with several confidant generals.

Dian Wei is fighting wine with Zhang Fei and Wen Chou, two fierce men. The three of them, to put it simply, share similar tastes. Once they get together, it is definitely the craziest trio.

Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, and Yan Liang sipped in small cups together, chatting a few words from time to time, or sharing their recent martial arts experience. Although these three were all military commanders, they all had Exuding a sage's breath, really should not be underestimated.

All three of them have fought against the general Lu Bu recently, and each of them has a deep understanding, especially for an experienced fighter like Huang Zhong, the gains he has gained may not be comparable to others.

Guan Yu and Tai Shici did not attend the celebration banquet because they escorted some books to Youzhou.

In the big tent, Gongsun Xuzheng was discussing with military advisor Tian Feng how to develop Bingzhou. Several other military advisors, such as Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai and others, left a few days ago because they had to go back to Youzhou in advance. up.

In fact, Gongsun Xu knew in his heart that these people were all seduced by those books. The generals may not understand the key points of these books, but, as military advisers of the Youzhou Army, they knew it very well. They are all readers, so they value these books even more.

Tian Feng's personality is relatively straightforward, and he always says what he has. When it comes to the development of Bingzhou this time, Tian Feng has only one answer, that is, the current situation of Bingzhou cannot support so many people.

In the exchange between the two just now, Tian Feng learned that a large number of refugees would migrate to Bingzhou. Tian Feng naturally knew the importance of population, but Bingzhou really cannot support so many people now. If the food problem cannot be solved, these refugees will It will become a burden to Bingzhou, and even bring disaster to Bingzhou.

"My lord, forgive me." Tian Feng put down his wine glass and said, "Last time, the generals Huang Zhong and Yan Liang had snatched a large number of refugees from Dong Zhuo, which had already brought a huge burden to Bingzhou. It is sparsely populated, but how many places can really produce food?
Moreover, Bingzhou is adjacent to the grassland, and the tribes of the grassland would go south to fight grass valleys every autumn. If these refugees were resettled in a border like Yanmen, it would be tantamount to sending them to death.Now, there are too many people migrating to Bingzhou, roughly estimated to be no less than 60, and Bingzhou really can't afford it. "

Gongsun Xu nodded in agreement and replied: "What if Youzhou supports Bingzhou? Now that Youzhou is developing very well, it should be possible to free up a lot of people, money and food to support the development of Bingzhou. We must get through this difficulty first, and we will definitely be in the future." There is a way."

Tian Feng shook his head and said: "My lord, you are joking. If you really want to use Youzhou to support Bingzhou, unless the lord wants Youzhou to be beaten back to its original shape, Youzhou has indeed developed well in recent years, but Youzhou The foundation of the state is not strong, and the eastern grassland of Xianbei also needs the support of Youzhou.

If this burden is passed on to Youzhou, I'm sure that within five years, Youzhou won't make any progress. My lord, please think carefully. "

"Really? If this doesn't work, there is only one way left." Gongsun Xu put down his glass and said coldly.

"The lord is saying,,,,,," Tian Feng asked curiously.

Gongsun Xu looked at the people in the tent and said with a smile: "I have a large number of soldiers, and now I just expand the territory. Thinking of me, Gongsun Xu, I can send out 10,000+ strong soldiers, how can I sit and wait for death?

I have decided that within a month, I will gather troops and horses, and when I am ready, I will send troops to capture Hetao. "

"Hetao? Is it the south of the Yangtze River that the lord said?" Tian Feng asked: "The biggest problem in Bingzhou is indeed the problem of food and grass. It would be great if there is such a place that can be used to produce food. But, lord, you How much do you know about this place, don't bother trying to figure it out, just get a piece of grassland."

"Hehe, the grassland, the grassland is also a good place." Gongsun Xu said with a smile: "Do you still remember how I managed the grasslands in the east of Xianbei? Do you think I will withdraw after I conquer the Hetao? I want to move the refugees to this place, I If you want to ask here to stand firm, you can rest assured that within two years, I will definitely solve the grain and grass problem in Bingzhou.

For the specific matters, I have to wait for Zhengfang to come back before discussing with him. He has stayed in Bingzhou for a long time, and I am afraid that he will have to make great efforts to capture Hetao this time.

Well, Yuan Hao, you don’t have to worry, no matter what, I will not give up on these refugees. The world is so big that there is no shelter for these refugees. If there is a way, these hundreds of thousands of refugees will undoubtedly die.

It is hundreds of thousands today, and it may be millions in the future. My people are so innocent, and I will not let them suffer such a bad luck. I think, Yuan Hao, you don't want to either. "

After hearing this, Tian Feng immediately raised his wine glass and said: "My lord is wise, I, Tian Feng, really did not misunderstand the person."

After hearing Tian Feng's praise, Gongsun Xu just smiled and shook his head. He looked at the generals in the tent and sighed in his heart: "So many strong generals are gathered under my command, how can I let them be dusted and prevent them from fighting?" , how can I be worthy of their allegiance to me."

When Gongsun Xu looked around at the people in the tent, he noticed that Zhang Jai was drinking alone. It seemed that he didn't know the others very well. Except for Dian Wei, he might not be able to get along with others.

Gongsun Xu stood up with a smile, walked up to Zhang Jaw and said, "Junyi, you have worked hard these two years, I respect you."

Zhang Ja stood up flattered and said: "It is the duty of the minister to serve the lord, how can I have to say it hard."

Hearing what Zhang Jaw said about birth, Gongsun Xu smiled and said: "You are Dao'er's cousin, we are also a family, and you are my subordinate, we have been born and died together, this glass of wine, I respect you You should too, can't the brotherhood between us compare to this glass of wine?"

Zhang Jai was so excited that he couldn't speak. Gongsun Xu's words were already thinking of him announcing that he had already entered the big family of Youzhou Army. He Zhang Jaw was already a part of this big family. , is exactly what Zhang Jaw has been trying to achieve.

The rest of the generals also saw Gongsun Xu talking in He Zhangja, and they could understand Zhang Jaw's current mood. Not everyone can get Gongsun Xu's approval, let alone walk into the top inner circle of the Youzhou Army. .

Huang Zhong also walked over with a wine glass and said with a smile: "Come on, Junyi, at such a young age, you have been born and died for your lord. It is really not easy to hide in the Xiliang army with Dianwei for these years. I will also offer you a toast." .”

Zhang Ja hastily raised his wine glass and replied: "If I am being hypocritical again, it is my fault for Zhang Jaw. I drank this glass of wine. Brothers, from now on, I hope you can remind me of Zhang Jaw more."

After speaking, Zhang Jaw picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp.

Everyone laughed and drank wildly with their wine glasses, and when everyone was almost drunk, Gongsun Xu said with a smile: "Okay, let's call it a day. During this time, everyone, don't relax. For the time being, we are I want to stay in Bingzhou.

Within a month, I plan to hold a martial arts competition. At that time, I will invite the most brave soldiers of the whole army to participate. At the same time, I will send an invitation to the heroes of the world. When the time comes, masters will gather. You must seize the opportunity , To discover more talents for our Youzhou Army. "

Everyone immediately became excited when they heard this. The martial arts competition is definitely the best thing for generals.This is the day everyone has been waiting for.

As long as there is a martial arts competition, there will definitely be rankings, and if there are rankings, there will be comparisons. At that time, everyone's fame will definitely start again. If the heroes of the world gather in Beijiang, it will be even better.

,,,,,,

Two days later, Gongsun Xu led his troops out of the city to meet Gao Shun, and Liu Bian was invited to go with him because Gongsun Xu promised to let him choose whether to go or stay.However, before that, Gongsun Xu felt that it was necessary to bring Liu Bian to understand something, and it was also necessary to let Liu Bian understand his responsibilities and obligations.

Riding on the horse, Liu Bian was very excited. He had hardly traveled like this for so many years. The world in the palace was different from the outside world. Everything outside was so new to Liu Bian.

Seeing the flowers, plants, trees, birds and animals along the way, Liu Bian's mood suddenly brightened a lot. He excitedly asked Gongsun and continued, "General Hussars, are we going out to hunt?"

"Your Majesty also likes hunting?" Gongsun Xu said with a smile.

"Don't call me Your Majesty in the future, I don't want to be born like this." Liu Bian replied: "How about I call you elder brother, and you call me good brother? How about it, elder brother?"

After hearing this, Gongsun Xu replied with a smile: "It couldn't be better, anyway, after Liu Bi and I get married, we will be a family, and we will be called the same no matter what."

"That would be perfect." Liu Bian said with a smile, "By the way, brother, what will you do when you invite me out today?"

"Today, I'm taking you out to see something." Gongsun Xu replied solemnly: "Of course, if you want to hunt, we can go hunting first."

"Okay, I haven't hunted before, so let's hurry up." After speaking, Liu Bian urged the horse to speed up.
