Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 475: Visitors from the Grassland 1
The land of Jiangdong is in trouble again, and the little overlord Sun Ce will display his talents in this land. The south, which was originally relatively stable, is now gradually falling into war.

Relatively speaking, Northern Xinjiang, which has always been famous for its wars, is now in a period of stable development. Youzhou, Bingzhou, and parts of Jizhou are all thriving at the moment.

This is really 50 years in Hedong and 50 years in Hexi. Who would have thought that the northern border of the Han Dynasty could have such a stable environment.From the south of Jizhou, it is also in chaos at the moment.

Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou, and Yuan Shu sent troops to seize the territory of Yuzhou. Naturally, Yuan Shao was not idle at this time.As the most outstanding son of the Yuan family of four generations and three lords, Yuan Shao never forgot to use his family's prestige to help him expand his sphere of influence.

With the prestige of the fourth generation and third prince of the Yuan family, Yuan Shao took over Jinan, Le'an and other places in a short period of time.It wasn't until his troops met Lu Bu's that his expansion speed stopped.

In fact, Lu Bu didn't have any enmity with Yuan Shao and the others. Some time ago, he was still discussing with Yuan Shao about borrowing land, so he even sent troops to fight for Yuan Shao.

It's a pity that the land was not borrowed in the end. Yuan Shao couldn't tolerate Lu Bu's arrogance, and was even more afraid of Lu Bu's bravery and capriciousness. At that time, Yuan Shao even planned to send someone to assassinate Lu Bu.

Lu Bu was not so easy to deal with. The assassins sent by Yuan Shao were easily dealt with by him. As for the army sent by Yuan Shao, they failed to defeat Lu Bu.

On the battlefield, Lu Bu was really not afraid of anyone.When Yuan Shao's tens of thousands of troops were in formation, he dared to lead dozens of his own guards to charge.

This kind of bravery, I am afraid that only a few generals in northern Xinjiang can possess it.After seeing Yuan Shao's true colors, Lu Bu also knew that he would not be able to gain a place to settle down in his hands.

Taking advantage of Cao Cao's conquest of Xuzhou this time, Lu Bu came to try his luck, but he didn't want to face Yuan Shao again.

Yuan Shao's current territory is not small, and he has more than [-] troops in his hands. This strength can be ranked first in the world. However, what he has to face now is Lu Bu, the world's number one brave general.

Although Lu Bu has only less than [-] troops, most of his troops are cavalry, and many of them are veterans of many battles. He is better than Yuan Shao in this alone.

Moreover, Lu Bu has such a large territory now that he had to gather all his troops here. On the other hand, Yuan Shao, although he had an army of tens of thousands, could send no more than [-] troops to fight Lu Bu.

In this way, Lu Bu didn't suffer much.From the confrontation to the present, Lu Bu had defeated Yuan Shao several times, and only then did he restrain the momentum of Yuan Shao's army's expansion. At this moment, the two armies are at a stalemate.

Cao Cao is not having a good time now, what he has to face at this time is the army of Liu Bei and Tao Qian, although these two troops may not be as strong as him, but there is Lu Bu next to him, that is a ruthless role, Cao Cao didn't want to be bitten by Lu Bu.

As for Yuan Shu invited by Cao Cao, he has no time to talk to them now.It's not that Yuan Shu didn't keep his promise. The key is that Yuan Shu only agreed to help Cao Cao deal with Liu Bei at the beginning, and it was still on the premise of obtaining Yuzhou. Did not come to hinder him.

Because Gongsun Xu didn't intervene in the chaotic war among these princes, it was possible for this war to continue to a stalemate. However, Gongsun Xu felt that something was wrong from the beginning, and he couldn't tell what was wrong.

On the grassland of Hetao, groups of cattle and sheep are gnawing on the green grass, and groups of herdsmen are singing loudly. Hetao is now a piece of paradise. Herdsmen no longer have to worry about being plundered by cavalry from other tribes when they graze here, and their property will also be obtained. ensure.

Groups of Han children who migrated here also began to take root here. They built houses, reclaimed wasteland, and herded cattle and sheep while farming the land.

Of course, these refugees who had just migrated did not have so much property. The cattle and sheep they grazed belonged to the Northern Xinjiang Army, so they were working for the Northern Xinjiang Army.

Gongsunxu built many factories in Hetao, no matter herdsmen or Han people, they could work in factories and earn some extra money during the busy farming season.

The blankets, leather and other items produced from these factories are sold all over the country.Many people even set up teahouses on various main roads, or set up sheds for passers-by to rest, and at the same time set up stalls to trade with passers-by to make some money.

The prosperity of Hetao was within Gongsun Xu's expectations. He invested a lot of manpower and financial resources in Hetao, and even shifted his focus of work here. It's a waste of time.

In the barracks, groups of soldiers were practicing, and Gongsun Xu never relaxed his requirements on the soldiers.

"Have you found out which tribe is causing the trouble?" Gongsun Ce had just finished observing the soldiers' drill, when Zhang Fei led the army back to the camp, so he called Zhang Fei over for questioning.

"I haven't found out yet." Zhang Fei replied: "This is strange, these tribes have been very honest this year, and I haven't seen any tribe dare to make trouble.

This time is good, four small tribes were annexed all of a sudden, if there is no big trouble over there, I would like to ask Ling to conquer Hua Xiong and he hasn't come back yet, so I'll ask him later. "

Gongsun Xu nodded to express his understanding. Some time ago, news came from the grassland where Hu and Qiang lived together that there was some trouble. Gongsun Xu put aside the matter of Bingzhou and came here. He didn't want anyone to destroy the development of Hetao at this time.

"Since that's the case, we'll just have to wait and see." Gongsun Xu said, "Since there's going to be trouble, it's definitely not the only way to do it, I guess there will be something next.

Humph, but it doesn't matter, the chaotic grassland tribes meet my requirements, as long as the chaos is not too big.Now we still have to keep an eye on the Huns, for fear that they will play tricks behind their backs.

We can just sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, maybe we can make a little money too, the military supplies we produce in northern Xinjiang will not worry about not being sold. "

Zhang Fei nodded to make it clear that the Huns are the most powerful tribe on the grassland, and other loose tribes are nothing compared to the Huns.

"Yide, the factory has recently stockpiled a batch of goods, and you will lead five thousand cavalrymen and twenty thousand civilians to transport these goods to Bingzhou tomorrow." Gongsun continued: "Besides, you will stay in Bingzhou to assist Fengxiao for the time being.

Cao Cao is attacking Xuzhou now, and the war is still at a stalemate. I don't want them to spread the flames of war to northern Xinjiang. However, I believe they need a lot of military supplies now. You can send them to them, as long as they charge a high enough price. That's fine. "

"Oh? Shall I go back?" Zhang Fei asked: "Well, I thought I could stay here to fight, but now that Xuzhou is in such a mess, it must be fun.

Bujun was transferred to the eastern grasslands of Xianbei, and there are not many generals on the Hetao side. Do you want to think about it again? If you keep me, maybe it will be of great use. "

"Hehe, you're so passionate." Gongsun Xu scolded with a smile: "I didn't come to Hetao to continue the war. What are you doing here? You are capable of destroying things. If you want to talk about production, you are superfluous. These days have not been short Steal a drink in the army.

If you really can't control you, you will stay behind to escort the food and grass, and then you will never even think about going to the battlefield.

There is also a purpose for asking you to go back this time. I always feel that the battle in Xuzhou is not that simple. Cao Cao is one of the best heroes in the world. He will not be so impulsive.

Oh, by the way, you haven't been home for more than a year. Last time your father told me to ask you to go back. I promised your father. I must not break my promise. "

"Ah? Eh,,,,,," Zhang Fei felt speechless after hearing this, but he still asked cautiously, "My lord, did my father say anything?"

"Yes, of course." Gongsun Xu said with a mocking smile: "You said you are old and young, why haven't you married yet, you are the only man in your family, your father is dying of anxiety now, Why don't you urge me to let you go home and get married.

Hehe, Yide, you said that I have been married for so many years, why are you still silent? Could it be that you have some special hobbies? This is not acceptable. It is forbidden by the military, and you cannot violate military regulations. You know No?
Be obedient, your father will definitely tell you about a good marriage when you get home, haha, Zilong and I will go to drink your wedding wine at that time, look, you are the only one of us who is still single, it’s not good for you ah.

Yun Chang's son is now riding a horse and practicing swords, and you don't even have a wife. If it gets out, people will think that I have treated you badly. This time, I have to settle your matter. Good brother, turn around and you Just tell me which girl you like, and I will be your matchmaker. "

"Stop, my lord, we can't make jokes like this." Zhang Fei now had a bitter face, and he hurriedly begged, "Why don't you tell my father that the Xiongnu are causing trouble and that I can't leave for the time being.

My lord, what do you think I look like when I go back now? I won't be scolded to death by my father.How about letting Ziyi go back, he's not married yet, how about helping him out first? "

"Stop talking nonsense, you don't need to worry about Ziyi's affairs." Gongsun Xu shook his head and smiled, "I'm aware of Ziyi's situation, so just take care of yourself.

Well, you can go to the camp to transfer troops later, anyway, just stay in Bingzhou to help the military division handle things well, Huang Xudianman and the others have all graduated from the martial arts hall, so they just stay in Bingzhou to work.

Don't put on a bitter face for me. Others are smiling when they get married. You are the only one who is cheap and good-looking. It's not good to give you a holiday to go home and rest. Others don't have such a chance. That's it. Help me later Say hello to your dad. "

After finishing speaking, Gongsun Xu didn't pay any attention to Zhang Fei's distressed expression. Anyway, the matter was finalized like this, and it was too late for Zhang Fei to go back on his word.

Hundreds of miles away, on the grassland where Hu and Qiang lived together, a group of cavalry escorted a large number of gifts, cattle, sheep and war horses to the Hetao side. It seemed that most of them came to do business with the Northern Xinjiang Army.

It's just that it might be a bit wrong to come here at this time. After all, something happened just now on Hu Qiang's grassland side. If they can't give Gongsun Xu an explanation, I'm afraid this business will not be done.
