Chapter 259 Population, Troop Strength

When Xun Yun heard this, his face was full of astonishment: "Why doesn't my father want to go back?" Is it because of that kid just now? Didn't Liu Bei force you to take him as an apprentice, what else is there to be reluctant to? ”

"He is my disciple, your junior brother!" Listening to Xun Yun's words, Xun Yu frowned slightly, put down the teacup in his hand, looked at Xun Yun and said, "I haven't seen you for three years, why are you so rude?" ”

There is no harm if there is no comparison, Xun Yu used to think that his son was good, but after all these years of getting along with Liu Chan, now seeing his son again, Xun Yu can't help but be a little disappointed.

It's so far off!

"Father, I ......" Xun Yun was suddenly speechless, and said: "But father, our family business is in the Central Plains, since you left, our Xun family has not been as good as before, and now it is only supported by Gongda, if you don't go back, I'm afraid that our Xun family will decline."

And Duke Wei misses you a lot, and often talks about you, you have served Duke Wei for more than 20 years, don't you want to see him again? ”

Xun Yu said lightly: "Cao Cao arrogates the title of duke, I am Hanchen, and I have nothing to do with him!" ”

Xun Yun has to persuade again: "Father ......"

Xun Yu slapped the table and shouted: "You and others can eat Hanlu to become adults, eat the king's Lu, you should share your worries for the king, Cao Cao arrogates the public, I, as a Hanchen, I can't stop it, what, do you still want to persuade me to rebel against the court and join Cao Cao?" How did I, Xun Yu, give birth to you, an unfaithful and unfilial son! ”

"Father's anger!" Xun Yun hurriedly knelt on the ground: "The child is just reluctant to inherit the inheritance saved by his ancestors!" ”

Xun Yu snorted coldly and said: "It's only to blame me for not knowing people, the foundation given by Cao Cao, don't do it." Tell the school officials to let them go, otherwise they will be left in Chengdu forever, don't blame me for not reminding them. ”

Hearing Xun Yu's words, Xun Yun's eyes lit up, and he whispered in Xun Yu's ear: "Father, are you being monitored!" ”

Xun Yu took a deep breath, looked at Xun Yun and said: "My father just wants to stay in Chengdu to study scriptures, if you are reluctant to be fame and fortune, you can participate in the recruitment of talents Liu Bei, but you can no longer have anything to do with Cao Cao." If you don't want to be a scholar, you can follow me to study the scriptures, and if you leave this kind of talk, don't talk about it in the future. ”

"This ......" Xun Yun's face was full of astonishment, originally he thought that Xun Yu was being monitored, and the persecution had to say these words, but now Xun Yu actually let them go out Liu Bei, what the hell is going on?

Xun Yun sighed and said: "Liu Bei is just a weaver and a peddler, sooner or later he will be destroyed by the prime minister, if the child is born Liu Bei, he will hold a grudge against Wei Gong, and he is only afraid that he will die in the future, so he should study the scriptures with his father." ”

"Huh!" Xun Yu chuckled, but didn't say anything.

For Liu Chan's talent, the clearest person is Xun Yu, although he is only eight years old now, but Cao Pi is no longer in time, Cao Cao died of illness in the future, in this world, who else has won Liu Chan?

Xun Yu vaguely felt that in the future, this troubled world might end in the hands of Liu Chan.

It's just that Xun Yu didn't tell his son what he thought in his heart.

A peck and a drink, its own destiny.

Although Xun Yu has only learned himself, his sons are all mediocre talents, and if he doesn't rely on his father's shadow, it will be difficult to make a difference.

No matter how much you tell them, it's useless to not learn enough, and if you want to make contributions in troubled times, you can only rely on your own talents, and you can not be enough to occupy a high position, but it is the way to take trouble.

Late August 215 A.D.

Jiangdong Sun Quan led his troops to attack Hefei.

At this moment, Sun Quan did not know about the defeat of Xiahou Yuan's army, but only knew that Cao Cao asked the Xianbei leader Bu Dugen to lead troops to reinforce.

Sun Quan thought that Cao Cao would have a long-term stalemate with Liu Bei, so he launched the Battle of Hefei on the Eastern Front.

After Cao Cao and Liu Bei exchanged, Cao Cao received the news that Sun Quan was attacking Hefei, and Cao Cao originally wanted to continue the confrontation for a period of time to see if there was a chance to defeat Liu Bei, but when he heard the news, Cao Cao dispelled this idea and urgently ordered Zhang He to withdraw from Wudu.

At the end of October, Zhang He led his troops to withdraw from Wudu and stationed in Qishan, originally Zhang He also wanted to pack up the people of Wudu County and take them away, but because of Ma Chao, Fa Zheng was eyeing one side, and the situation in Hefei was critical, so Zhang He quickly withdrew from Wudu, and the matter of taking away the people was not successful.

After Zhang He retreated, Ma Chao led his troops to occupy Wudu County.

In mid-November, Cao Cao learned that Zhang He had safely withdrawn from Wudu and was stationed in the Qishan area, so he withdrew his main army from Hanzhong and went to Hefei to defend against Sun Quan.

Liu Bei then occupied the entire territory of Hanzhong.

In this battle, Liu Bei won a complete victory, and got Hanzhong, Shangyong, and Wudu, and the people of the three places were not taken away by Cao Cao.

Liu Bei now occupies the five counties of Jingzhou, and Jiaozhou, except for Nanhai County, is also in Liu Bei's hands. It also occupies the entire territory of Yizhou, Wudu County, Liangzhou.

Jiaozhou is vast and sparsely populated, although Jiaozhou has not had a major war, the world was in turmoil at the end of the Han Dynasty, and some people chose to flee to Jiaozhou to avoid disaster, but the road is rugged, and Jiaozhou is humid, and the northerners will not adapt to the water and soil when they arrive in Jiaozhou, so Jiaozhou does not attract many people, but fortunately, there is no war in Jiaozhou, Shixie's governance is also quite prosperous, and the population has also increased, about 400,000.

In Jingzhou, the total population of the Han people is about 700,000, and in addition, there are about 500,000 barbarians, but they live in the mountains and do not belong to Liu Bei's governance.

And Yizhou, except for Hanzhong, has a total population of about one million.

The land of Hanzhong, counting Wudu and Shangyong, has a total population of about 500,000 because the population has not been plundered by Cao Cao. A census was also conducted in the middle of the Han Dynasty, when the population of Hanzhong was 260,000, but over the years, Hanzhong had not experienced war, and the people of Guanzhong fled into Hanzhong, so the population increased dramatically.

In this way, the total population under Liu Bei's rule now is as much as 2.5 million, plus the soldiers obtained from Hanzhong, the total strength is 25 people.

Jingzhou garrison of 50,000 troops, guarded by Guan Yu, Pang Tong, Ma Tan, Ma Liang, Zhou Cang, Liao Hua, Guan Ping.

Wudu, Yangpingguan garrison 30,000, garrisoned by Ma Chao, Pang De, Ma Dai.

The garrison of Hanzhong was 50,000, with Zhang Ren and Yang Ren serving as the governor of Hanzhong, and Jiang Wan serving as the Taishou of Hanzhong.

Shangyong garrisoned 10,000 troops, garrisoned by Liu Feng and Meng Da.

As for Jiaozhou, it is still governed by Shixie, he does not repair military armor, although he has some troops, but he is not a standing soldier, and he has little effect.

As for Yizhou, Liu Bei returned to Yizhou in mid-December, bringing back 110,000 soldiers and horses.

"My father is going to win tomorrow, and this time he has won a big victory, so I'll come and see what I gain."

The night before Liu Bei returned to Chengdu, Liu Chan opened the system interface.
