Yanbei was lucky and left no sequelae.

People said that he was poisoned by charcoal, but no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't understand how he could be poisoned by charcoal because he didn't eat charcoal, and even the wood ash in the brazier was blocked by the lid of the copper stove. In order to find out about this, he specially asked people to find a few chickens and ducks and put them in an airtight room, put a few braziers to warm up all night, and wait for the next day to see that the chickens and ducks were all dead thoroughly, and the corpses were not stiff but extremely soft.

Just like when you were alive.

Zhang Ji commanded the soldiers to carry the soles of the chickens and ducks like butchers to bleed from the neck, and the blood that flowed out was bright red and not normal, Zhang Ji pointed to Yanbei with a blood basin and said: "King, this is charcoal poison." ”

The first thing that scared Yanbei a lot was to send a message to all states and counties in the world, ordering the people to light braziers for heating and remember to open the door for ventilation, especially at night.

In the past, every year, there would be elderly widows and widows living in the township, and even a family slept overnight and died mysteriously the next day, some people died with a smile on their faces, Yanbei has always treated them as if they froze to death, but now he will not think like this anymore.

Many of the people in it were probably like themselves who had been poisoned by charcoal, and even people knew that they died strangely like those chickens and ducks, but they didn't know what happened.

Now Yanbei knows that it is charcoal poison, and if you burn the stove fire in the house without breathing, it will be poisoned.

At the beginning of the year, the city of Handan in the four years of Xinghe is more lively than ever, when Yanbei stands on the Wuling Cong platform at night and looks into the distance, the lights are everywhere under the purple mountain in the distance, and it is the people who have not been able to return to their hometowns for the New Year. They came because King Zhao built a mausoleum, and now that the labor has passed, the people of Handan City and have returned home, and the people of Youzhou who are far away stay at the foot of the Purple Mountain to celebrate the New Year with the prototype of the mausoleum that has just been excavated.

Many of them hoped to continue their labor here next year, and even heard from Lu Bu that someone had asked for a message to bring their wives and children from Youzhou and continue to work in Zishan until the mausoleum was completed.

Ziling, a city in Jiang Jin's imagination, has gradually taken its own prototype, and it is located in Handan and, and there are heavy soldiers to protect it at any time, so that the people feel safe in this town named after Ling, even if there is no city wall. It is close to the national capital, whether it is the Han capital Yecheng or the Zhao capital Handan, the east of Taihang has convenient transportation, and merchants gather more fertile land, not to mention that they build houses with their own hands to enrich the city.

Ziling has everything in place, but if it is only so, it will not be enough for the people to leave their homes and voluntarily come here to start their lives again. The real reason why they wanted to stay in Ziling was because the Xianbei people went south this time...... The news of Xianbei's re-use of troops against Youzhou last autumn has reached Ziling, and the laborers here are reluctant to return to their hometowns to face the possible war this autumn.

People envy Jizhou, envy Jizhou since Yuan Shao left and have not experienced war, it is not easy for ordinary people to survive in this era, starvation and freezing to death is still within the ability of Qianshou to solve, but the war is something they can't solve, and it is impossible to hope that Yanbei will be pacified this year, so they can only let themselves move south, Ziling, is their best opportunity.

Fortunately, the person who presided over the construction of the mausoleum was Jiang Jin, one of the few people in the Yan clan who dared to call himself a brother and Yanbei, and dared to tell the truth to King Zhao. If it weren't for Jiang Jin, Yanbei would never know the true intentions of the people, but thought that he was very kind and convinced the people to voluntarily build a mausoleum for him.

This is not a trivial matter, the laborers' request to stay in Ziling is related to Xianbei's entry into Youzhou, and their stay in Ziling will also affect Youzhou. Youzhou is in a big war this year, and whether it is a burden or a collection of war spoils, a large number of people are needed in the follow-up of the war, which is only one of them; After the war, Yandong wanted to build a new city in Youzhou in Danhanshan, which means that Youzhou will need a large number of people in the next two to three years.

The most important thing is that Yanbei does not think that his mausoleum is more important than Youzhou New Town.

The Great Wall in the north is a collection of manpower from the two Han Dynasty and three generations before and after the Qin Dynasty, and has been a natural barrier to protect the Han people for hundreds of years. But just as Yanbei had a view on Jiangdong's insistence on the Yangtze River, it was precisely because of this natural danger that the northern territory of the Han Dynasty stopped here.

His third brother Yan Dong had the idea of letting the Han people go north, even if it was just one step, it was a feat in his opinion!

Yanbei didn't know any big truth, but he knew that Jixian County, which was prosperous thousands of years ago, was also a barren land, and even just twenty years ago, Liaodong was still a frontier land, with only 80,000 people in the huge county.

But now?

Jixian County is the capital city of Youzhou, where all the merchants from the south converge, and Liaodong has changed its appearance.

He can build the first city in Saibei, and in the future, Yan Huan will be able to build the second and third, and then they will have one more county, or even one more state. Yan Zhao will never be short of horses again.

The land in Saibei may not be suitable for farming, but it is very suitable for raising horses, cattle, sheep, donkeys and even dogs and pigs.

As for the people, when was there ever a shortage of people in the land of the Han family?

Since ruling Liaodong, the number of people under the rule of the Yan clan has increased year by year, especially in the case of no war in the northern states, and now it has almost increased from tens of millions of people in the northern states to nearly 20 million people today.

Although it is not much, it makes Yanbei very happy. In the territory of the princes today, the people are not born and die, but the number of the people under his rule is increasing, and he has overcome natural and man-made disasters.

The completion of Handan's annual festival means that spring has arrived.

In spring, some people hope that spring will never come, and some people look forward to the arrival of spring more than Yanbei.

This person is Zhang Liao.

Jiangxia County, Jingzhou, it is okay to say that this is the north, and it is okay to say that this is the south. Spring is the agricultural time, but this spring Jiangxia people can not go to the field, groups of Yan Zhao soldiers from the winter moon idle to hear, from the Jiangxia counties to the Exian riverside assembly, take the war boat to play the war drum along the west of the river to the south of the county to assemble. Zhang Liao's purpose was not only to deal with the Zhang Jaw and Gao Lan army in the north, but also to seize Huarong.

Even though Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao had already prepared for this, Liu Biao was still caught off guard when Zhang Liao decided to send troops, and hastily gathered troops and horses to send them to the south of Nanjun, and sent a fleet to block the river, in order to block Zhang Liao's offensive.

Now Liu Biao and Cao Cao have cold lips and teeth, and Cao Cao, who has been recuperating in Changsha for several months, also sent troops from the county, and the soldiers pointed directly at the Zhijiang River and Jiangling area, he fought with Zhang Liao many times, and knew that Zhang Liao's plan was Huarong, and he could not compete with Zhang Liao here by relying on the strength of Jingzhou today.

This is such a move, in the eyes of Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, but it has a different meaning.
