Chapter 573 199 AD

From the early summer of 198 to the beginning of 199, more than half a year passed, and the world of Huaxia temporarily returned to tranquility.The three forces that lost a large number of soldiers due to the war all retreated to lick their wounds, waiting for the opportunity of the next war.

"Yuan Shao and Liu Ting are absolutely crazy!" Li Ming looked at the information in his hand and threw it to the ground.It can be seen from the intelligence that Yuan Shao and Liu Ting actually recruited another [-] troops for training after the war ended.

"Hebei's population is getting smaller and smaller, yet it still consumes so much people's energy! Guanzhong's population is not large, and most of them are people from Bashu... It's just how many strong men Bashu can have, and [-] might make Bashu shed a layer of skin!" Li Ming paced back and forth.

"It's not surprising that they would do this..." Guo Jia said slowly, "Our side lost nearly [-] troops in last year's battle, but at the same time captured [-] troops and absorbed [-] of them. At the same time Occupying Jingxiang and the entire Xuzhou and Yuzhou, the population has soared by more than [-]%, and it is absolutely necessary to recruit tens of thousands of troops.

At the same time, General Zhang He has gone to guard Xiangyang, General Pang De has guarded Nanyang; General Lu Bu and General Guan Yu are in Yingchuan and Chen Jun, General Huang Zhong is in Rencheng, and General Tai Shici is in Taishan County; Langye County landed and set up a stronghold, while General Zhou Tai occupied Huang County, Donglai County.In addition to Jeju Island, Yizhou Island, and even Wa Island for supplies, I am afraid that Yuan Shao will also be worried, and we will send Yanzhou and Qingzhou back. "

By the way, Wang Yu was appointed as the General of Zhengbei Army years ago and formed the Army of Zhengbei. At the same time, Guan Yu, Huang Zhong, and Taishici were transferred to his command. The goal is self-evident. give enough freedom.

Xu Huang was appointed General Zhenbei a month ago.It is not easy to be in charge of the north until we really conquer the four counties of Youzhou.Every year when the weather is a little bad, the Hu people will go south, and whoever sits on the frontier will be responsible for guarding it.It used to be Gongsun Zan, and Yuan Shao also sent people to guard it earlier, but now Li Ming is naturally in charge of it.

Fortunately, Xu Huang, Zhao Yun, and Gongsun Zan were all very capable, and they recruited talents such as Tian Chou, Xian Yufu, Tian Yu, and Yan Rou.

Tian Chou was well-read and well-versed in governance, and he knew Wuhuan very well. In the fall of last year when Wuhuan invaded, Gongsun Zan went north to crusade, and Tian Chou was his guide. The leader, Qiu Liju, and his son Tadun led the army to retreat.

Tian Yu is a low-key person, but his martial arts are very good, and he was defeated after a hundred rounds of fighting with Zhao Yun.He was appointed as a deputy general as soon as he joined the army, and no soldier was unconvinced.

Yan Rou was captured by Wuhuan and Xianbei when she was young, and she returned to Han after all kinds of hardships. She was first recommended by Xian Yufu to join Liu Yu. After Liu Yu died, she contacted Xianbei to fight against Gongsun Zan.But now he and Gongsun Zan are both under Li Ming's command. Although they seem to have no contact with each other, at least they can still focus on military affairs.His man, Yunwen Yunwu, was appointed as the captain of Wuhuan, responsible for resisting Wuhuan's invasion. He was in the army and contributed a lot to the crusade against Wuhuan last year.

Speaking of Tian Yu and Yan Rou, it is natural to mention Xian Yufu.He recommended Yan Rou to Liu Yu, and after Liu Yu's defeat, he planned to avenge Liu Yu, but Tian Yu persuaded him.After the two were recruited, Xian Yufu was naturally recommended.This person is Yunwenyunwu, can sit in one side, and is also very proficient in logistics management. As Xi Zhicai's deputy, he is in charge of the logistics of the entire army.

Peng Hu is the general of Zhennan, just like the literal meaning, the entire Jiaozhou and Nanzhong areas are guarded by him; he himself is the commander-in-chief of Peng Yue, so the local barbarians do not reject him.At the same time, he is a deep sister-in-law, as long as Peng Die is around, everything will be fine.

Lu Bu was appointed as General Pingxi, which literally means that he was asked to crusade against Guanzhong, but he was not the main person in charge.

To crusade against Liu Ting, Li Ming will personally serve as the commander of the army, and even Pang De of Nanyang and Zhang Yun of Jingzhou are in the army.By the way, Pang De in Nanyang was appointed General Zhenxi, and his status was still higher than that of Lu Bu.Before Li Ming went north, if he encountered an enemy attack, he would be responsible for defending against the invasion of the imperial army.

The number of soldiers has not changed much. The key is that there are fewer places to defend, so the main force on the front line has increased.In the autumn, Li Ming also added [-] troops to the front line, which was transferred from the third line of defense. After all, the third line of defense is already the rear.

Now in the whole of Jiangdong, there is no purely indigenous tribe of Yue people, nor any big monster...except Baihuang.The strongest ones were probably at the level of monsters, and the threatening ones were beheaded by Li Ming and Zhang Mo in the past, and the rest were those who stayed peacefully in the mountains.

In the second half of last year, more than 30 ships returned from the Wa country, and the food they brought back brought back 10 people. Only then did Li Ming know that there are less than 20 Japanese people on the entire Kyushu Island, and women account for 65% of the population. proportion.I have to say, how many men did Zhang Mo kill when he went to Wa Island?
Himiko was very satisfied with the food he brought, especially the various cooking methods.He directly said to Hao Lang: "In the future, we won't grow any more, and just eat the grain brought over by the big man!"

"The people from the Dahan Wa Island are all Chinese, don't make a mistake!" Hao Lang retorted back then.Of course, Himiko is not stupid to be able to take the top position. Hearing this, he lowered his posture and quickly said yes.In fact, what she said before may not have no intention of flattering her.

Huaxia Wa, this is the official name of the people of Wajima, and as the sinicization work continues, Himiko also has a Chinese surname. She was originally a descendant of Xu Fu, so her surname is Xu, and Xu Mihu is her new name.Most of the other Japanese also took Xu, Jiu, Dao and Qin as their surnames.It is not difficult to see from here how unserious Li Ming is.

As Zhang Mo said, the Wa Kingdom did not even form a country, but a group composed of multiple tribes.They still speak pre-Qin official dialect, and their customs still have a strong Qin style.They have no written language, no customs and habits that belong to them, and no concept of nation and country.For such an existence, Sinicization is still very promising.

"I know what it means..." Recalling the events from last year to this year, Li Ming looked at Guo Jia, "It's just that both sides spare no effort for the people, after all, it's not China's blessing."

"Having said that, if the lord takes the opportunity to sweep away and become a prisoner in the end, then what about Huaxia and what has it to do with them? After all, those who are in high positions will be less courageous." Guo Jia said slowly. .

After a pause, he continued with a smile: "Besides, isn't it better for them to do this? The lower the war potential of the two sides, the more difficult it will be to supply logistics. The court is okay, at least the Western Regions will supplement him with money. It's just this Food production is dangerous. Hebei is even worse. In the future, tax revenue will decrease, and food and finance will be in crisis. In the end, the soldiers on the front line will not be able to eat enough. The subordinates think that within three years at most, Hebei will be in chaos. Yuan Shao didn't want to do this, so he had to launch an all-out attack on us, and his subordinates were just worried that they would drag the court into trouble."

"You mean, they will form an alliance with the imperial court?" Li Ming leaned back on the chair, "This was expected, it's only three years, it's not easy for us..."

The bigger the territory, the bigger the mess, and the more troublesome it is to rectify it. Reform is not something that can be done in a day or two.
