Compared with previous years, the first year of Xingping was much easier for the Yan family. There were not many wars this year, except for the Xianbei people under the leadership of Micah, who were defeated by the Yan brothers in the east and west of Youzhou, there were hardly any major wars.

The Xianbei people in the north hibernate after the First World War, and Budugen and Kebineng respectively sent envoys to Yecheng; The border with Goguryeo to the east was already calm, but in the letters sent back by the prison king, it seems that the Buyeo Kingdom in the north was debating whether to send troops to Goguryeo to regain the lost territory; As for the land of Henan, it was even calmer, Yuan Shao was unable to advance north, and was strangled by Tian Yu and the Guan brothers, like a turtle in an urn.

Cao Cao, who had the ability to threaten Hebei, was trapped by the continuous challenges of Yuan Shu in the south and Liu Bei in Xuzhou, which caused internal unrest. At this time, even if Yanbei refused his requests one after another, he would not dare to add strong enemies to the north. Instead of thinking about it, he continued to bridge the relationship with Yanbei.

In the west, there was a lot of fighting. Although Zhang Yang, who was driven out of Hanoi by the Yan clan, did not dare to covet Hanoi County anymore, in the battle report sent back by General Du Liao, the small group of rogue soldiers who attacked back and forth were full of the shadows of Zhang Yang and other princes of the state. For a long time, Jiang Jin's Duliao Department could only hold on to Yanmen County and Dingxiang County and rely on the Great Wall. The battle for the Great Wall never stopped.

On the other side of the Great Wall, beyond Dingxiang County and Yanmen County, there was their enemy, the allied army of Tu Ge Zhuhu and Bingzhou Haoqiang. A few years ago, he killed the Southern Xiongnu Qiangqu Shan Yu, and two years ago he joined forces to kill and assassinate the state assassin Shi, these people have never changed.

If it weren't for the fact that there were Xiongnu Shan Yu Huchuquan and Youxian Wang in the south of Bingzhou to lead troops to contain them, Jiang Jin's Duliao Department would probably have been defeated and retreated to Jizhou for a long time, and he would not have made the idea of wintering in Bingzhou at all.

Because the long winter has arrived.

From the east of the city, west to Yanmen, the land under the actual control of Yanbei at the end of October into the winter, widows and widows from all over the country get clothes from the state capital, counties and counties, garrison soldiers around the construction of camps, cities, to meet the arrival of the snow.

Before the arrival of the New Year, Yan Bei, the former general who was in charge of the military and political affairs of the two states of Jizhou due to the imperial edict, issued the last warrant of the first year of Xingping. The content of the warrant is that all the people in the vast land under the actual control of the Yan clan, including the 72 kingdoms of Goguryeo and Sanhan, which are subordinate to the central and eastern Xianbei and the subjugated Goguryeo, Sanhan, will be requisitioned and sent into service from February to June of the following year according to their distance and ability.

The Goguryeo and Samhan kingdoms of Dongyi levied 6,000 lifu to board ships from Liaodong County to the Bohai Sea; Xianbei in the middle and Xianbei in the east, levy 6,000 Lifu from Juyong Pass into the fortress, and transport giant trees and stones to Yecheng by land; Wuhuan five departments, levy 6,000 forcemen from Youzhou to Yecheng; Black Mountain Baibo, levy 6,000 Lifu to Yecheng.

In addition, wood and stone are operated all over Youzhou to transport heavy grain and grass to Hebei. The people of Jizhou do not have to contribute their own strength because they are still in the time of being exempted from forced labor.

In the second year of Xingping, Yecheng wanted to build a large number of buildings.

It is true that Yecheng is the majestic city of the world, but it cannot be compared with the current western capital Chang'an, let alone the glorious and majestic Luoyang in the past.

The princes of Liangzhou, led by the Baiguan Gongqing and Li Dao Guo Yan, have moved their capital to Luoyang, so Yanbei made a special trip to the old capital of Luoyang before the snow fell to explore the pattern and appearance of Luoyang...... A few years ago, he had stayed overnight at the site of the Imperial Palace, and Luoyang was already devastated. And now, Guanzhong is more like Dong Zhuo leaving a scar that belongs to him in the world, revealing endless desolation.

The chaos in the Guanzhong has been fighting in various places for many years, making the land within the Luoyang Zhuguan become a wild land, there is no popularity under the lush grass and trees, there are beasts that are not afraid of people everywhere, and the towering palace walls and city gates in the past have long been covered with green vegetation...... Luoyang can't be the capital, and it can't be the capital.

Yan Bei was like a beast dormant in the dark, staring at Guanzhong with his eyes flashing in the dark night like copper bells, and it seemed that even the second son, who had not been born for a long time, could not make him interested. There is nothing more important in the world than this matter, and there is no Zhou, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shao. This is the only thing that deserves his attention - moving the capital!

It's not Luodu, it's Yedu!

Attached to the foreign Yi levy and sent conscription, the next year in Yecheng to build a large number of buildings, expand this Jizhou Xiongcheng into the northern capital of the world, according to the pattern of Luoyang in the past to build Yedu, the next thing to do is almost nothing else to consider...... Send troops to welcome the emperor!

Taking advantage of this winter, Xu Huang, a lieutenant who recruited enough staff from Youzhou, went south from Yecheng in the snow, crossed the Yellow River from Hanoi County, and directly attacked the westernmost Tiger Prison Pass under Cao Cao's rule to seize the pass; Yang Fengbu led the army south from Hejin, stationed in Yanshi, Chenggao in the east of Luoyang, and even outside Xingyang City, you can see a little spark, completely blocking the news of the attack on the Tiger Prison Pass.

On the top of Xingyang, when you climb the city and look west, the only banner you can see is the banner of the Baibo Rebellion...... Yanbei deliberately created an illusion for Cao Cao, and the attack on the Tiger Prison was just a self-inflicted achievement of the Baibo Rebellion, and he couldn't imagine that he was in Erzhou. But farther away in the Tiger Prison Pass, east of Luoyang has been hung with the Yan clan Yi coat of arms.

Although nearly half of the world still did not know what kind of changes the imperial court would bring to the future situation by moving from west to east, and even Li Dao Guo Yan, who was in the middle of the storm, was busy eradicating dissidents because of his bad relations with Fan Chou, such news had already spread among the upper echelons of Youji.

They all knew that their lord, the former general, the Marquis of Xiangping, the former general of Youzhou Mu, and the general military and political governor of Youji Erzhou, was ready to send troops to Luo and obtain all the preparations to take charge of the supreme power of the imperial court!

Taishi Ci, who was supposed to garrison Hebei and guard Wei County with Gaolan, rode his horse to Ye and asked Yanbei to join the expedition to welcome the emperor to Yedu in the following year...... Yanbei readily agreed, transferred the recovered Zhang Jaw to Gao Lan's command, and summoned the old department to garrison Wei County. Drill the general's headquarters on a large scale, and prepare to launch an expedition to the southwest to cross the Yellow River with the general's headquarters.

At the beginning of the new year, Yanbei named his second son Xi. He was twenty-eight years old this year, he and his younger brother did not die of war and hunger, he had the dignity of ten thousand households, he was the master of the two states of Youji and Hebei, he was a beautiful wife and a charming concubine, and he also had two sons and thousands of heroic warriors who were loyal and willing to offer him loyalty in exchange for his qualifications.

There is no doubt that he became a pivotal figure of the era.

And all this, just like the name of his second son, belongs to him, and his great cause has just begun.
