Listening to the news sent by Jinyiwei in the palace, Liu Zheng also applauded after learning about today's incident.

Especially after listening to the description of Guo Jia and others' reasoning cases, he was even more amazed.

It is also the criminal punishment department of the government that does not have a special case judgment now, otherwise, Guo Jia will definitely be a master of judging cases like Di Renjie, Song Ci and others in the future.

The matter of the Royal Primary School was but a small episode in the winter of 193.

After the winter came, Liu Zheng's life became boring day after day.

But fortunately, Xu Huang, Tai Shici and others returned from the north.

And brought good news to Liu Zheng.

Yuan Xi, who was stationed in Youzhou, had a falling out with Karasuma.

Xu Huang, Tai Shici and others returned from the north, also because they received orders from Liu Zheng before.

The battle between Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang was sometimes fought and sometimes stopped, and the two sides could not dominate or completely suppress each other, and the battle was always in a relatively balanced state.

After all, Yuan Shang had Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses to help, and Yuan Xi had Karasuma's army to help, and the strength of the two sides was not much different, and Liu Zheng couldn't attack at any cost for Yuan Shang, so the two sides could only fight to a draw, and the victory was inseparable.

Liu Zheng suffered a big loss in the Hanzhong region before, losing nearly 40,000 soldiers and horses, and the Central Plains was empty, so Liu Zheng could not continue to exert more troops in the northern battlefield, so he could only let Xu Huang and Tai Shici and others return from the north.

In addition, it will be winter soon, and it is cold in the north in winter, and it is not easy to march and fight, even if Xu Huang, Tai Shici and others continue to stay in the north, it will not have much effect, besides, Liu Zheng is sure that Yuan Shang should not make any trouble.

If Yuan Shang dared to think carefully at this time, it would just give Liu Zheng an excuse to destroy him. Therefore, it is useless for Xu Huang and Tai Shici and others to continue to stay in the north.

Liu Zheng has never been too concerned about the affairs in the north, because whether the nomads in the grasslands can carry it this winter is still a matter of two words.

After Xu Huang and Tai Shici returned to Yangzhou, they immediately came to Liu Zheng to ask for peace and brought Liu Zheng the latest situation in the north.

Something about the two brothers of the Yuan family and the Karasuma people in the north.

The battle between the two brothers of the Yuan family is not a battle of life and death, they are brothers after all.

So on the surface, it seems that it has been in a state of war, but in fact there is very little time for the actual fight.

Liu Zheng also knew this, because once they fought, after either side perished, one of them would be worried that Liu Zheng would swallow them.

So on the surface, he has been in a state of war, but in fact, he still pays close attention to Liu Zheng's dynamics. Maintaining the status quo is the best way to do it.

Yuan Shang is still relatively old and has not done anything out of the ordinary.

This also gave Liu Zheng no excuse to come to him for trouble, plus he would send Liu Zheng a batch of good war horses every once in a while, so Liu Zheng didn't hate Yuan Shang very much.

Yuan Xi, this guy, mainly relies on Karasuma people, stationed in Youzhou, with the support of Karasuma people in eastern and western Liaoning, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians, it is indeed not easy to deal with.

Liu Zheng was busy with overseas Kyushu Island and Hanzhong before and after, and he couldn't concentrate his troops, so he never dealt with the affairs of the north.

For the time being, let Yuan Xi get away with this guy for a while.

However, Yuan Xi has not had a good time recently.

Even if Liu Zheng didn't go to them for trouble, those Karasuma people would start to come for him for trouble.

"Gongming, Ziyi, you say that Yuan Xi and those Karasuma people broke up? What's going on? ”

Liu Zheng looked at Xu Huang and Tai Shici curiously, and prepared a banquet for them in the backyard of the palace to catch the wind and wash the dust.

"Haha, Your Majesty, this matter, it is also Yuan Xi's own fault."

"Oh?"

When Liu Zheng heard Xu Huang say this, he was naturally even more interested, and he wanted to know what happened in Youzhou.

"Ziyi, let's talk about it, you know in more detail."

Xu Huang did not directly ask for credit, but looked at Tai Shici.

Tai Shici and Liu Zheng are no strangers, and they have been staying with Xu Huang for so long, so they naturally understand that this time is not the time to shirk, so they directly spoke, holding a wine glass, and while drinking, they talked to Liu Zheng about the things in the north.

"Your Majesty, didn't Yuan Xi unite with the Karasuma people before, his excuse for winning over the Karasuma people was to work with the Karasuma people to conquer Jizhou, and then divide the territory of Jizhou, and promised Karasuma a grain and grass of 200,000 stone in Qiu Liju."

"But as a result, with His Majesty's action, Jizhou was lost, and Yuan Xi himself lacked grain and grass, so naturally he couldn't cash it out to the Karasuma people."

"So there was a feud between the Karasuma people and Yuan Xi, plus the Karasuma people had always been the main force to fight with Yuan Shang before, and after being killed by our army and losing a lot of soldiers and horses, the Karasuma people also hung this grudge on Yuan Xi's body."

"The two sides once quarreled to the extent that they wanted to fight, but with us watching from the sidelines, the Karasuma people didn't go too far, just gave Yuan Xi some faces, and didn't really fight with Yuan Xi. Isn't it winter just around the corner around the corner? ”

"There were frequent battles last year, and there was a shortage of food in the north every winter, so the Karasuma people, who had no choice but to hit Yuan Xi, had to hit Yuan Xi."

In a few words, Tai Shici made the current situation in the north clear.

This result, even if Tai Shici doesn't go into details, with Liu Zheng's understanding of the north, he can also think of it, and in the past few years, Liu Zheng has not been less transported grain and grass to the north.

At the earliest, it was sold directly to those Karasuma tribes in western Liaoxi in exchange for their war horses.

Later, in order to form an alliance with Yuan Shao, he used grain and grass to sell to Yuan Shao.

A few years ago, if it weren't for Liu Zheng's support, maybe those Karasuma people in the north would have starved.

Now, Liu Zheng has completed the unification of Jizhou and Qingzhou, and there is only one Youzhou left, and the Karasuma people do not directly border Liu Zheng.

When they reach winter, the only possibility for them to need grain and grass is to go to Yuan Xi in Youzhou.

Otherwise, they would have to continue to send soldiers and horses to Jizhou to grab grain. However, after years of war, the ordinary people of Jizhou have long been out of grain and grass.

Even if they went to grab it, they wouldn't be much stronger, and in the end, they could only hope to deduct some from Yuan Xi's hands.

Yuan Xi actually had some grain and grass, and when he retreated from Jizhou, he scavenged a lot of grain and grass and left.

However, Yuan Xi himself also has soldiers and horses to raise, and the population of Youzhou is not large, so the food produced is naturally small, and it is not enough to feed the people of his own state, so how can he give a part to the Karasuma people.

But if you don't give it, you can't do it.
