The Rise of the Song People of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 437
At the same time, judging from the respective requests of Yu Yunwen, Du Gao, and Zhang Wei, all three of them wanted to independently resist Yuan Shao's attack, and none of them asked Lu Heng for reinforcements!

Of course, it was because Lu Heng was much stronger, and the three of them knew that Lu Heng had his own strategy, so none of them thought of asking for the help of Lu Heng's Xuzhou garrison.

Let me start by saying that Lu Heng's strength is much stronger than last year, not only in terms of the territory he occupies on the surface, but also in all aspects.

Let’s start with Lu Heng’s main force of 12 troops last year. When the war started last year, Lu Heng ordered the expansion of the reserve force. In addition, last year’s battles resulted in a total of [-] soldiers, including Xuzhou’s Yu Jin army, Chen’s private soldiers, and Yuan Tan’s collapse. There are [-] elite soldiers in total after excluding the old and the young.

These [-] elites are of course not comparable to the elites of Lu Heng's main force, but they are all veterans who have fought in the battlefield, and they are not comparable to new recruits like reserve soldiers!

These [-] troops plus the [-] trained reserve troops constituted the second echelon of the army. This part of the troops was all placed on the Yuzhou defense line. In addition, the original garrison on the Yuzhou defense line was actually comparable in strength to Yuan Shao's self-led army, but The defense lines in various places involved scattered troops.

The Qingzhou battlefield was at a disadvantage. At first, Lu Zan, Yue Sheng and others stayed behind and only [-] elite troops were left behind. In addition, the army could be recruited locally. Although a lot of recruits were recruited, they had only trained for a whole winter and they hadn't been trained yet. The recruits of the battlefield.

Except for the military strength, Lu Heng was not like Yuan Shao who took almost all open land. The Xuzhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, and Yuzhou occupied by Lu Heng were all populated lands.

It can be said that in terms of population alone, although Cao Cao's territory is weaker than Yuan Shao's, it is only [-]-[-], or even [-]-[-]. Yuan Shao's only advantage is Jizhou, a populous state, except for the Yellow Turban Rebellion. There is no other harassment from Zhanluan.

However, Youzhou, Bingzhou, and Qingzhou each have their own problems, resulting in a population no larger than that of Xuzhou, Yuzhou, and Sili. Therefore, Lu Heng, who bit off a large piece of Cao Cao's meat, and the original An Ding of Yangzhou, are already in terms of population. On the same level as Yuan Shao, what really dragged Cao Cao down was the grain and grass.

So in this regard, Lu Heng is much better than Cao Cao in the original time and space. In this time and space, Lu Heng tried the farming system earlier than Cao Cao. In addition, the new rice discovered and researched in Jiaozhou, and the special rice in Wanwan, Under Lu Heng's rule, grain production has been rising rapidly.

What's more, this year, after more than two years of construction by Zhao Ding, Shi Xie, and Bu Zhikuai, the Chi Road in Jiaozhou has finally begun to open to traffic. The grain in Jiaozhou will be continuously transported to Moling
So now Yuan Shao and Lu Heng are really two strong contenders!

Apparently from the letter from Qingzhou, it can be seen that Zhang Wei's idea is to stick to the county's defense line. At the same time, he probably thinks that Lu Heng will rescue the Yuzhou battlefield, but Lu Heng obviously wants to use Qingzhou as a breakthrough point. More than 3 elites are preparing to go north to Qingzhou.

Obviously Yuan Shao was about to make a move, which forced Lu Heng to send troops. At this juncture, Lu Heng received a bad news, which made Lu Heng at a loss for a while. The bad news was Lu Heng's cheap father. Five days later, news came from the servants of the Lu family in Moling that cheap father Lu Kang had died of illness, and at the same time gave Lu Heng a letter.

Cheap Daddy is already seventy-six this year. In fact, Cheap Daddy's illness has become more and more serious in the past few years. Especially when the news of Liu Xie's death spread, Cheap Daddy's health has been deteriorating. The elder brother Lu Jun took him back to Moling to recuperate.

But even with Hua Tuo, An Daoquan, and Chen Ziming's three genius doctors taking turns to consult and take care of him, they were unable to recover. Lu Heng thought that the cheap old man was bedridden, but Hua Tuo, Chen Ziming and others should be able to stabilize his diagnosis and treatment all the time. Seeing that Xiao Nishang can still get out of bed during the Chinese New Year this year seems to be a flashback.

Lu Heng quickly opened Daddy Cheap's letter, and the general meaning was as follows: "Heng'er, you are the child I am most reassured and least reassured about. Being a prince is like walking on thin ice. If you are not careful, you will fall into a land of eternal doom. At the same time, even the family will perish together. This road is only forward and not backward, and even reaching that goal is just another beginning.

As a father, I have been loyal to the Han Dynasty all my life, and I hate the son of a prince. My son became a prince because of this time, not because of my son's wishes. Whether it is a father or not in the past few years, it has nothing to do with the courtiers of the Han Dynasty. Guilt for my father.

When Emperor Xiaomin (Liu Xie) merged with heaven, he knew that the Han dynasty was about to perish as a father, but he didn’t know whether my son was right or wrong. There was only one piece of advice. Start with a Jiangdong family, but you can't overindulge the family. Human greed is like a gluttonous beast. There is only one way to control the family. You must always treat the people well. Water can carry a boat and capsize it. Only when the people live and work in peace can long-term peace and stability be achieved!If the people are strong, they can reproduce the prosperity of the strong Han Dynasty, otherwise they can only repeat the mistakes of Qin and Han, remember!Remember!

It's a pity that I can't see Nishang growing up. My son needs to treat Nishang kindly, but remember not to spoil him too much. A loving mother often loses children, and so can a loving father!
In the end, my Lu Kangsheng is a Hanchen, and my death is Yi is a Hanchen. My son wakes up!I should go by myself, my son don't want to be sad! "

When Lu Heng read his father's letter, tears were streaming down his face. His father only wanted to be a minister of Han in his life, a loyal minister of a big man!Even if it is fatal!
But Lu Kang was caught in a dilemma about family affection, and it was also the reason why Lu Kang's illness did not improve for a long time. In the end, he still agreed with Lu Heng at the end of the day. It can be seen from Lu Kang's instructions on the relationship between Lu Heng's family and the common people. This may have been the ultimate for what the old man Lu Kang did.

Unfortunately, Daddy passed away, so Lu Heng didn't even go to the funeral. Not only Lu Heng, the second son, couldn't go to the funeral, but Lu Yi, the kid, couldn't go back to the funeral either!

This kid is currently playing an important role in Yu Yunwen's army. At this juncture, Lu Yi chooses to wear hemp and mourning in the army, and at the same time follow Lu Kang's last wish and change his name to Lu Xun with the word Boyan (he will be called Lu Xun from now on!), to come Expressing condolences to his father Lu Kang, it seems that not only he has a legacy, but also his eldest brother, Lu Xun, Lu Ji, and Lu Shang, and even the content can be seen from the fact that Lu Yi changed his name to Lu Xun, they are always father and son!
So Lu Heng also wore white clothes to criticize the linen cloth in Xiapi, but Lu Heng asked Lu Lingji to take Xiao Nishang and Lu Ji back to Moling for the funeral together. This most beloved youngest son can be filial.

In addition to Lingji and his younger brother Lu Ji, Lu Heng also ordered his eldest grandson, the eldest brother's son Lu Shang, to rush back to Moling from Yuzhou, and asked Yu Ji to personally help his eldest brother Lu Jun handle the funeral of the old man.
