The soldiers and horses roared westward, and countless people retreated along the way. War is always the most vicious weapon to break people's peaceful lives, and hundreds of thousands of civilians have been displaced, and although they have escaped the forced relocation of Gongsun Zhan's army, the rest of life has become an even greater problem for them.

The food on the way to escape has been almost consumed, and the little surplus wealth and food left have also been lost in the chaotic battle and even saved one in ten steps, as far as Yanbei has seen and heard along the way, there is no one who is worse than the people, and the grievances they have experienced are even more difficult than killing...... Probably comparable to the people of Zhuo County, only the Goguryeo slaves who suffered from the poisonous hands of Yanbei.

This is unique in Han China.

When you are thirsty, lie on the grass and drink some morning dew; When you are hungry, you gnaw away the turf on the ground; As for those who are sleepy, tired, or sick, they can only lie down by the roadside and wait for death.

People often say that resignation to fate is the grievance that you can't change the status quo after doing all the efforts you can. Because there is no one in the world who can help them.

Fortunately, this is Youzhou, Youzhou under the rule of Youzhou Muyanbei.

The pro-guards, the Guli soldiers, and the sergeants under Zhang Jaw scattered into various places, and the war horses were used as pack horses to haul the people, and handed them over to the rear Gao Ran, as for those who still had the strength to move, the soldiers under the command of Yanbei informed them of the porridge sheds arranged by the soldiers and horses along the way...... There were rumors among the refugees that General Yan had given them food from the army to keep them alive.

Resigned to fate, at this moment, Yanbei is their day!

Naturally, these rumors were spread by Guo Jia among the refugees, but they were not rumors, because the food distributed to the people was indeed divided from most of their military rations to save the lives of these people.

"Yan has done a lot of business, and since the yellow scarf, he has never lost money." Yan Bei smiled bitterly and looked at the people on the side of the road who were supporting each other to make way for the soldiers and horses, sighed and said to Guo Jia: "This time I fought with Gongsun Zhan, and it was really a big loss. ”

In the past, when I went out to fight, after every victory, I could always earn countless sums of money by removing the grain, grass, pensions and rewards consumed. For example, Pingheishan Township Yongyi from the supply of money and grain from the state capital, begging Dong Zhuo to empty the Luoyang secret room, not to mention the expedition to Goguryeo and Pinggong Sun, both battles brought more than 10,000 gold to Yanbei, which is about a whole year's tax in Youzhou!

But in this battle, it was his turn to pay millions of stone grains and grass, and the expenses were nearly 20,000 gold...... directly smoothed out the gains from the two campaigns.

Guo Jia looked at Yan Bei and smiled silently, obviously his general was complaining bitterly at this time, but his heart was overjoyed. Others don't know how much wealth Yanbei has, but he Guo Jia knows it, even if he suddenly throws out hundreds of millions of dollars of grain and grass to help the people of Zhuo County, he still can't hurt the roots. And this surging people's will can become General Yan's biggest gain.

All the foundations of Yanbei are in Liaodong County. But how did Liaodong County become what it is today? First of all, there is a co-ordination of capable officials, but on the other hand, Yanbei Jiu occupied Liaodong to get rid of the original power class of Liaodong County and successfully took charge of one of the Liaodong Counties.

At that time, he only had tens of thousands of people, and the land of one county was at his disposal. Now Lelang County, Xuanwu County, and Liaoxi County have all become the appearance of Liaodong County a few years ago. But that's all, he can turn the clouds and rain in the four counties of Youdong, and Yuyang County is an excuse given to him by Wang Song's early years to be able to send troops. But what about the western part of Youzhou? Although Yanbei is now a pastor in Youzhou, his foundation in the western part of Youzhou is too shallow, and it is not enough to support his desire to change the law.

Zhuojun is the breakthrough.

Taking the opportunity of rebuilding Zhuo County this time, Yanbei can harvest the hearts of the people of the entire Zhuo County as never before. In the past three years and five years, the people who have cultivated and lived on this land will not forget Yan Zhongqing's kindness.

Guo Jia said, "General, the battle of Nguyen Pass must be fought, this year, and next year. ”

How long can this battle be fought, and the influence of Yanbei will become more and more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in Zhuo County.

"Guo Fengxiao won my heart!" Yan Bei smiled happily, Mo said that he invested 10,000 gold, even if he threw all his family funds in, he could collect the hearts of the people of Zhuo County, which was enough for him. Yan Bei held the chariot and read softly: "The eleven counties of Youzhou belong to a country, and those who belong to Yan belong to a certain country, and there are six counties and a country!" ”

Is there any other prince in the world, whether it is the state pastor or the assassin, the general or the prime minister, who has such a strong control over the land under his rule?

Only Yanbei!

When Tai Shi Ci and Sun Qing's soldiers and horses crossed Yushui, they could have had a strong army of nearly 20,000 young and strong, but the follow-up grain and grass could not keep up, so they had to reduce the young and strong who were dedicated to serving to 3,000 villagers, and the rest were driven eastward by Tai Shici's subordinate military marquis, looking for Yanbei to replenish grain and grass, and lead them as reserve troops...... However, Sun Qing estimated that more than 10,000 young people would fall into the hands of General Yan and would not escape the fate of farming.

But this time, Sun Qing miscalculated. The farming he is talking about is the Tuntian Tianshu that is very popular in Liaodong, Lelang, Xuansu and other places, but Zhuo County is different from Youdong, the land that can be cultivated here has basically been reclaimed, otherwise it would not be able to become the county with the largest population in Youzhou. Since these people are willing to join General Duliao's army and continue to fight against Gongsun Zhan, then Yanbei will definitely reorganize them and become recruits stationed in Zhuo County.

However, at least until next summer, Yanbei will not send them to the battlefield...... After experiencing the Yellow Turban period, hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban disciples were chased and killed by 20,000 or 30,000 Han troops in Jizhou, and Yanbei did not look down on the art of war to win by numbers. His army will be equipped with well-trained professional samurai with well-trained weapons and armor, and become the real murderer on the battlefield!

Youzhou Mansion received Yanbei's letter and was shocked by Yanbei's disaster relief methods for a while. For a time, the state government talked about it, and this kind of practice of sparing no effort to help refugees was never done even in Liu Yu's era. In the Black Mountain Rebellion, millions of people from Jizhou poured into Youzhou to avoid trouble, and the state capital's approach was only to let them enter Youzhou, and each county opened a warehouse to give porridge, and in addition, it was just to let them fend for themselves.

Who would be as wealthy as Yanbei to let the people from the brink of starvation, freezing to death, and exhaustion, and suddenly mobilize the power of the state capital to open the liquidation, so that they have no worries about food and clothing?

The state government is engaged in many people to ridicule it, this kind of practice can only be done by people who don't know how to implement benevolent government and haven't seen the world, right?

In the final analysis, on the one hand, it is because Yanbei's governance measures are completely different from Liu Yu's, one is to use Youzhou as his own family's field, and the other is to guard the frontier for the imperial court; On the other hand, it is also because of Yanbei's lack of prestige in the state capital, which leads to this discussion.

Yan Zhongqing has made a reputation for doing good deeds, but more than 200,000 stones of grain and grass have to be paid by the state government, what kind of reason is this?

As a different driver, the old god Xun Yue was there, looking at the arguing and making a pot of porridge in the hall, coughed lightly twice and said loudly: "The government king's transfer of the state capital to store 250,000 stones of grain is just to solve the urgent need, and the letter has been sent to Liaodong to transport 700,000 grains and grass, so you don't have to argue anymore, right?" Let's discuss it and nominate talented people to go to Zhuo County to govern the government! ”
