The edict of the Son of Heaven was sent from Chang'an to the whole country, asking the state pastors and counties to guard the army and crusade against the national thief Dong Zhuo.

The princes from all over the country responded to the call and issued a document, saying that they were determined to get rid of Dong Zhuo and eliminate harm for the country.

However, the princes roared lively, but in fact it was thunder and rain, and they watched each other and did not see any movement of troops.

In the first battle of Tiger Prison Pass, the coalition army suffered heavy losses, and many princes were greatly injured, and some were even worse, and were swallowed up by others.

In this situation, it will be difficult to recover without a year or two of effort.

What's more, when today's son Liu Xie was established by Dong Zhuo, his name is not right, and he can't convince them at all. In the eyes of many people, King Hongnong, who was abolished by Dong Zhuo, is the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty.

The princes knew each other's words. But as long as it does not infringe on their vital interests, it is okay to serve Liu Xie as the Son of Heaven.

Once they cross the border, they may not listen to the court's call again.

At present, the most popular person is still Dong Zhuo, without the Son of Heaven and hundreds of officials in his hands, now he is embattled, and everyone shouts and beats.

Son-in-law Li Ruyan suggested that he should give up Luoyang and go north from Mengjin, so that he could first seize Hebei as the foundation, and then map Youzhou in the north, and curb Qing and Yan in the south, so as to recuperate and encroach on the world.

Li Ru can see through that Luoyang is the place of four wars, no matter which direction there is gunpowder smoke and war in all directions, Luoyang will definitely be affected. The princes of the east hated Dong Zhuo to the core, and Lu Bu was added to the west, eyeing him.

Sticking to Luoyang will only be a dead end in the end!

Dong Zhuo did not accept this, and after returning to Luoyang from the Tiger Prison, within a few days, he lived the extravagant life of the past, indulging in wine and indulging in pleasure.

He is no longer Guanzhong, and he can't live without Luoyang.

If you give up Luoyang and go north, if you can't attack Hebei, won't you be like a lost dog, wandering around.

Before he could fight, Dong Zhuo had already retreated in his heart. He is old, and he does not have the full energy of his youth, so he goes to fight the world again.

Dong Zhuo ordered his subordinates Li Dao, Guo Yan and others to plunder in the Sili area east of Hangu Pass, and transported all the looted grain to Luoyang City.

Dong Zhuo didn't care if the people had anything to eat, even if they all starved to death, it had nothing to do with him.

Dong Zhuo also forcibly conscripted the people to build the city wall, and he wanted to increase the height of the wall of Luoyang City and build it into a copper wall and an iron wall. Then, with the troops in his hands and the food he snatched, he stayed in Luoyang City and spent his old age in peace.

The princes of Kwantung were busy recuperating, Dong Zhuo was reinforcing the fortifications in Luoyang, and Lu Bu was also not idle.

In the four stops of Guanzhong, Gao Shun led the trap camp plus 5,000 soldiers, and personally sat in Hangu Pass; Huang Zhong also led 3,000 soldiers and horses, responsible for guarding the Wuguan in the southeast; The Sanguan in the west and the Xiaoguan in the northwest were guarded by Guan Hai and Wei Musheng respectively.

What made Lu Bu more troublesome was the question of how to resettle the more than 100,000 people in Luoyang.

Lu Bu is good at killing enemies, but in terms of internal affairs, he is completely a layman, and he is very melancholy.

From the time of Emperor Huan, the land annexation of the Han Dynasty was particularly serious. The people at the bottom had no land at all, and most of their fields were encroached upon by the landlords.

As a result, they had to live by renting their fields, toiling day and night. At the time of the autumn harvest, nearly seventy percent of the grain harvest was paid to the landlords. In the slightest natural disaster, tens of millions of people will starve to death.

Guanzhong is different from Bingzhou, and it is definitely unrealistic to distribute land to the people as before.

Before the recovery of the northern border of Bingzhou, it was entrenched by the Xianbei people all the year round, resulting in the land being deserted and the Han people scarce. Hanzhong, on the other hand, is relatively stable and has many deep-rooted aristocracy.

The reason why the family can become a family, in addition to the precipitation of time, the most important thing is the two things they hold in their hands: land and books.

They would never watch Lu Bu harm their interests, Dong Zhuo was able to gain a foothold in Guanzhong back then, because he not only had full deterrence, but more importantly, Dong Zhuo basically did not harm their interests too much.

In this era, if you want to dominate one side, you have to rely on the support of the family.

Lu Bu is new to Guanzhong, and when the foundation is not stable, he will also not clash head-on with these old family nobles in Guanzhong.

Whenever things don't work out, the best thing to do is to-

Find a plan!

After the drama came, after listening to Lu Bu's humble consultation, he also felt very tricky.

As the saying goes, there is a precedence in hearing the Tao, and there is a specialization in the art industry.

What Xice studies on weekdays is the art of war, and most of them are things on the battlefield. Domestic policy measures and people's livelihood governance happen to be his shortcomings.

It's like a person who writes history, asking him to write fantasy, which seems to be the same, but in fact it is very different.

"When I was in Luoyang, I shouldn't have let go of Old Man Xun. Alas, a mistake, a mistake! ”

When Xi Ce said this, the expression on his face was quite regretful, if he had left Old Man Xun at the beginning, he could have used him to ask for the uncle and nephew of the Xun family. With the two of them here, these small problems of people's livelihood management are not a problem at all.

It's too late to regret it now.

The two searched the map, looking for a place where they could properly house the people. More than 100,000 people are not a small number, and they must be resolved as soon as possible so that they can settle down.

If you just find a few counties and throw them away, the people of Luoyang, who have no land in Guanzhong, will soon starve to death. Thousands of miles to bring them from Luoyang to Guanzhong, not to mention food and clothing, at least let the family make a living.

However, the population of more than 100,000 is not a small number after all, and it is necessary to ensure that they do not starve to death and have land to plant. The Sanfu region is definitely not good, and almost all the land here has been divided up by the nobles of the family.

If they were to be tenant farmers, it is estimated that a large number of people would starve to death.

In the end, the eyes of the two fell to the west of Guanzhong, Tianshui County in Liangzhou.

When the Qiang people rebelled, almost all the Han people there fled to Guanzhong and Hanzhong, vacating a large area of land, which was a good place for the people of Luoyang to settle down.

It's just that at present, Xiliang Qiang is in turmoil, and there are many wars in various counties, so he rashly took the people to settle down, in case the Xiliang rebels came back to plunder, it would be in vain.

You have to be responsible for these people.

"Hmm~~~"

Lu Bu groaned, staring at the location of Tianshui County with a pair of eyes, and the cold light flickered.

At this time, a guard from outside came to report: "General, Chen Wei is back." ”

A few days ago, Lu Bu had already sent someone to pick up Chen Wei, and it stands to reason that he should have come back a long time ago, but somehow, it has been delayed until now.

Lu Bu looked at the map and didn't turn around, and said, "Let him in." ”

Chen Wei, who was bound by a thick rope, walked into the hall, and after seeing the tall back, he immediately knelt down and said ashamedly: "General, my subordinates are incompetent, and I lost King Hongnong!" ”
