The goal of Yanbei was achieved, and the Yanzhou soldiers knew each other well enough, and they had already crossed the Yellow River south when he led the troops to come. If Cao Cao does not go back, when the arrangement on both sides of the Yellow River is completed, Yanzhou will have to be sent to a big defeat. However, Tai Shi Ci, who was currently heading to Henan, was unable to contact Xu Huang, who had cut off the enemy's food route, but Guan Hai had already led troops to attack Chen Liu.

Extraneous branches.

As the generals of Beiyan and Huanglong stationed in Hanoi County led their troops to patrol the territory, the situation in Hanoi County calmed down slightly, and Yanbei sent a message to the generals of the soldiers and horses on both sides of the Yellow River, giving them the mission of doing things cheaply, and delegating power to advance and retreat.

Compared with this dispute with Yanzhou, moving the capital to Yecheng is the top priority at the moment.

Hanoi and Henan Yin were handed over to these lieutenants to deal with the war on their own, and the emperor continued to move eastward.

There was no obstacle by the war, and the march of the imperial court's honor guard was also very smooth, and Wei County sent chariots and horses along the way, so that the hundred officials and ministers did not have to suffer on foot, and they could travel more than 40 miles in one day. It was only five days after the shooting dog set off, and then entered the territory of Wei County.

Yanbei is home!

Near Yecheng, you can see the city everywhere in the distance, the countryside outside the city stretches for more than ten miles, and the people are forced to work everywhere, and the magnificent city has begun to show grandeur.

It has been nearly a year since last year's Great Expedition to Youji, and the matter of Xun Yue supervising the expansion of the city has also been carried out for a long time, but in Yanbei's view, such an entry is not fast, nor is it slow.

"Xiangping Hou, is this Yecheng?"

Beside Luan, Yanbei rode a horse forward and guided the emperor who was standing in Fuyuan and said: "Your Majesty, since the minister discussed with Li Dao last year, and lured him to move east with grain and grass, I want to make Your Majesty contain Yecheng as soon as possible and stay away from Li Guo and others. Therefore, the minister levied the two northern states in the last year, expanded Yecheng with the grandeur of the old capital Luoyi, moved the original city of Zhongzhou Pastoral Mansion to the south, and left a vacant land in the city with the old site of the north and south palaces of Luoyi, and expanded the city for seven miles from north to south to east and west, and built the outer city wall. Just looking at the current weather, the construction of the city wall has only started on the west side...... However, Your Majesty does not need to worry, the original city wall of Yecheng is still intact as a middle city. ”

Even if there is the framework of the original Yecheng, how easy is it to build another Luoyang City on this basis? This is not a great undertaking that can be completed in half a year, after all, Yecheng still has too much precipitation compared to Chang'an, the western capital.

The little emperor helped Luan to drive the car, and the attendants on the left and right carried some stained curtains, and he was already smiling from ear to ear, full of novelty, and kept saying: "Yan Qing has a heart, Yan Qing has a heart!" ”

I don't even care about the loess flying everywhere outside the city...... Not to mention that the more east you go on the road, the more comfortable it will be in terms of food and clothing, Yanbei alone has been prepared before moving the capital, and the expansion of the palace wall makes Liu Xie's heart feel anxious.

Yanbei is much better than Li Dao Guo Yan, and even better than Dong Zhuo!

"But Your Majesty, this year, the emperor will probably stay in the state pastoral mansion, Yan has only been the head of Qiantou in the past, and he has never served in the imperial court, and most of his subordinates are rural people, so they don't know too much about etiquette, but they also know the truth that they can't be trespassed. The palace of the inner city has not yet begun without His Majesty's permission; There are also His Majesty's luan, robes, and utensils, and they dare not be prepared, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive me. However, there are not a few craftsmen in Yecheng, as long as His Majesty agrees, the officials and the people rush to work, and they should be able to live in the palace early next year. ”

Yanbei is based on Liaodong to lead Youzhou and Pingji Prefecture, in addition to the elite generals of his subordinates, the skilled craftsmen have made great contributions.

The emperor was young, and he didn't care about the palace and the guard of honor, so he completely handed it over to Yanbei. Perhaps it was in Wei County that he finally had a long-lost sense of stability, looking at the wheat fields and the mulberry trees that moved out of the city from time to time...... However, after holding Jinwu's horse, he left the guard of honor and rode his horse, and walked side by Luan with Yanbei, pointing to those Lifu and asking: "General Yan, in order to expand the city, the two states of Youji have levied forced labor, why are there so many foreigners?" ”

Yan Bei looked out of the city from afar, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly, which is no wonder Fu Wan was surprised, and replied: "Youzhou is located in a remote area, outside the neighboring territory, and Zhijin Wu also knows about this matter. Although there are 5 million people, there is a heavy burden on your shoulders, and your Excellency does not know it. After three or four years of war, the fields were barren, and although the officials urged the people to pay taxes on agriculture and mulberry, the grain produced by 100 mu was only 100 stones, and the wasteland had to be reclaimed, and the two million people could not be self-sufficient until this year, so they did not dare to transfer them to do forced labor; Although Youzhou is rich, it has to use the grain of one state to feed the people of the two states, not to mention the number of soldiers and horses in various places, which consumes a huge amount, and they do not dare to draw them to work. ”

After listening to this, he smacked his tongue secretly, and said incomprehensibly: "Since the people are not forced to serve, then these ......"

"The Wuhuan Five Divisions are attached to the Eastern Xianbei, to Goguryeo, and to more than 70 countries in the East and Han. There are also slaves after Yan's victory in the battle with foreign tribes. Yan Bei spoke of these things easily, but he didn't say anything in his heart, and under the high-sounding excuse, he was unwilling to mobilize the Han people to do these coolies. Saying that, he smiled at Fu Wan and said: "Of course, the counties of Youzhou have also requisitioned more than 10,000 people and criminals in prison. ”

Fu Wan looked at those ordinary people who were not dressed ordinarily but commanded those foreign laborers to carry logs under the protection of the soldiers, and looked at Yan Beidao with a smile: "Well, the old man saw them." ”

The little emperor on Luan's car was thinking about Shutai, and just got into the imperial car, when he heard the words, he poked his head out again, and shouted at Yanbei and asked, "There are more than 70 countries in Sanhan!" ”

"Your Majesty?"

Fu Wan watched the emperor lose his temper, but he would not care about the emperor's majestic words and reminders like Dong Cheng did in the past. Yan Bei did not have the slightest surprise in his demeanor, on the contrary, he became more respectful, beat the horse a little closer to the chariot, and said: "Your Majesty does not need to be surprised, Sanhan is in the south of Lelang County, and there are three foreign tribes, like Sanbu Xianbei. However, they are not as big as the three Xianbei, and there are not so many people, although there are seventy-two countries, among which the largest sect, Wei Qiutai, is from Buyeo, called Baekje, but there are thousands of families, more than 100 small sects, the total number of people is only 100,000, and the armor is less than 8,000. A few years ago, the ministers conquered Goguryeo in the east, making the Dongyi countries submit, and now Goguryeo, Buyeo, Sanhan, and the Sushen people in the east established the Lou, competing to submit to the envoys and send tribute. In the autumn and winter, His Majesty will receive their envoys. ”

The emperor blinked, he had heard the names of these foreign clans in the royal education he received when he was a teenager, but as Dong Zhuo took power and established him as the emperor, those important ministers who accompanied him would rarely tell about the foreign enemies of the Han Dynasty, and more about the bad things of the ministers, so he did not have a complete understanding of the Dongyi countries, but felt that these foreign ministers were very proud of their submission to the imperial court.

After a little thought, he seemed a little worried and asked Yan Bei: "Yan Qing, it is a good thing for foreign tribes to submit, but is it against etiquette and righteousness to drive their subjects to build palaces for me in this way?"

"Your Majesty, in the past, we were courteous to the Xianbei, Wuhuan, and Qiang people, and their envoys were courteous and courteous in the court, but the borders of the country were never calmed, and the Xiqiang Rebellion and Xianbei Koubei never stopped with the decline of the imperial court." Yan Bei looked at the young emperor and felt like a blank piece of paper, he paused, looked at the high wall of Yecheng that was getting closer and closer as the mount bumped, and said in a deep voice: "So we want to talk to them about etiquette and righteousness in the court, and talk to them about swords and soldiers at the border." ”
