"Although the friendship between Qin and Jin can bring me closer to Soochow and Liu Bei, this is Shangxiang's major event after all, and we can't be so hasty!" Hearing Sun Ce's words, Zhou Yu put this thought into his stomach, but these words But he was caught by the blue-eyed boy at the banquet.

Chapter 827 Population Competition

In Xiliang, Liangzhou area, after Cao Cao led the army to wipe out Li Que in Guanzhong and occupied Chang'an, the terrifying coercion came, and a subtle change occurred on the land of Xiliang.

Xia Houyuan, the governor of the Chang'an Governor's Mansion, ran wild with a mace in Yanzhou. At first, he fought against six generals and retreated, and finally defeated three generals in a row.

It was widely rumored in the army that Xia Houyuan, the captain of the Dianjun Academy, marched five hundred in three days and one thousand in six days, and his marching speed was the fastest in the world. Every battle was unexpected, like a heavenly soldier descending to earth, the enemy he killed threw away his helmet and armor and fled in a hurry.

Zuo Xiaowei, one of the twelve mighty guards in Cao Cao's Nanya, since Xia Houyuan led the army, mostly light cavalry, with one man and one horse in the army, and some even equipped with two horses, which naturally greatly increased the marching speed, although Compared with the war horses of the Xiliang Army, there is still a gap.

Ning Rong, known as a geek in the world, Cao Cao's right army division has exhausted strategies, and the tricks in his bag are even more terrifying. Every time he comes out, he will secure the world and determine the outcome.

But now, Ning Rong was appointed by Cao Cao as the governor of Yongzhou, to control the power of government affairs in Yongzhou, to collect refugees, and to recuperate with the people.

And all these news were transferred to Liangzhou through some special channels. At the same time, the relationship between Ma Teng and Han Sui actually eased a lot under this terrifying pressure.

Ma Teng and Han Sui were also good brothers who lived together and died together. At the beginning, the two joined forces and soon grew to become the most powerful princes in Xiliang, overwhelming the tribes of the Qiang people in Liangzhou, and finally reached an agreement with the court. Compromise, and this changed, from an insurgent army to an official army.

"Hey! During this period of time, the population loss in Liangzhou is serious!"

"That's right! According to the news from Chang'an City, the new governor of Yongzhou, Ning Rong, once offered a reward. Every soldier in the Yongzhou Patrol Battalion can have a settling allowance of [-] guan, as long as they can fill up the empty Yongzhou! "

"Three hundred guan? Hiss...the patrol battalion has a small number of 2000 people, this Ning Rong is really a big hand..."

The person who spoke was more than eight feet long, with a large body, a distinctive face and nose, resembling a Qiang people, with a broad mouth and nose showing a bit of loyalty, this man was Ma Teng, a well-known general in Xiliang.

"What Brother Shoucheng said is true. That Ning Rong is known as a geek. He never plays cards with common sense when marching and fighting. There are endless conspiracies and schemes. Now...he has declared war on us Xiliang!"

But the person sitting on the same level as Ma Teng was his sworn brother Han Sui, and Han Wenyue, there was a light in his eyes, and he said worriedly to Ma Teng in a deep tone.

"what?"

Ma Teng looked at Han Sui with suspicion on his face, he was in Xiliang, and Ning Rong was in Chang'an, when did he declare war on him?

"Hey! Ling Ming, tell me, how many people have fled from Xiliang in the past half month?"

Han Sui didn't answer Ma Teng, but turned his attention to Pound, who was next in line. Today Pang De is no longer the school lieutenant of the past. With the continuous expansion of Ma Teng's power, he has become one of the leading generals under his command.

"My lord, as of the day before yesterday, the prefect of Jincheng came to report that [-] Han Chinese had smuggled through the Immortal Pass and entered the territory of Yongzhou!"

Pound saluted Ma Teng meticulously and said.

"What? Thirty thousand? A few days ago, didn't the general order the gate to be closed, so that people are not allowed to enter and exit at will?"

When Ma Teng heard the words, he was furious. Could it be that the prefect guarding Jincheng was pocketed and surrendered to the enemy secretly?

"My lord, these [-] people are all Han Chinese. They are all people who escaped from Chang'an in the past two years. Now Li Que has been killed by Cao Cao, and Yongzhou has returned to peace. , the soldiers are helpless even if they want to take precautions..."

Pang De's words were full of helplessness, these people were not a large army, they ran all over the ground in twos and threes, some even crossed the Qinling Mountains, passed Yangping Pass and entered the territory of Yongzhou.

"Wen Yue, this...the governor of Yongzhou, Ning Rong, has such popularity?"

Ma Teng's face was a bit ugly. The Xiliang cavalry was able to run across Xiliang, suppressing those Qiang people who dare not act rashly, and they still count on these people to send troops to pay for food.

Han Sui, the Jiuqu Yellow River, has always established himself by calculating others, otherwise he would not have grown from a small job to the commander of an army, and he would not have broken with Ma Teng, annexed his territory and established himself on the land of Xiliang.

He naturally knows about the affairs of Yongzhou. After all, Yongzhou is the gateway of Liangzhou. When the idiot Li Que occupied Chang'an before, he relied on his Xiliang iron cavalry to extort violently. and so on.

but……

Han Sui shook his head. In fact, he knew in his heart that in troubled times, people don't care who the emperor is or who the princes are on top of them. What they care most about is whether their hometown can survive!Now that Ning Rong is in charge of the governor of Yongzhou, this person is naturally not comparable to Li Que's trash. I heard that the first thing this person does after he takes office is to put out steamed buns, wine and meat, kill people and announce a government order, let all the people clean up Chang'an City, and then the outstanding ones will be rewarded. Those who steal, rape and play tricks will be killed. In this way, under the combination of grace and power, Yong

The order of the state governor established prestige.

Afterwards, he even selected the children of good families to enter the Xuncheng camp, lured those people with a huge sum of three hundred yuan, went to the mountains and forests to suppress bandits, and then put these returned people into labor labor, and asked them to build water conservancy projects and repair the city walls , open up wasteland and farmland, build official roads, etc.

"However, how many bandits and bandits can there be? What's more, this person has a murderous nature and uses harsh methods to govern the people of the state. Anyone who does not obey orders will be killed without mercy!

In this way, there are naturally not many people who can serve in labor, so where will the people needed in Yongzhou come from?

A certain even heard that the water canals in Guanzhong were being dug, and now there are four canals, Longshou Canal, Baiqu Canal, Lingji Canal, and Zhengguo Canal, which naturally require a large number of people to work! "

"There is such a thing? Then let's spread the news to the counties and counties, and the people will definitely be afraid and stop!"

Ma Teng was overjoyed when he heard the words. Since ancient times, there have been no common people who are willing to do hard labor for officials.

"Hey……"

Han Sui shook his head bitterly, turned around and explained to Ma Teng.

"Brother Shoucheng, I'm afraid you don't know that Ning Rong's shrewdness lies in this. Why do you think those people smuggled back to Yongzhou? They are just going to serve as labor!"

Seeing Ma Teng's puzzled expression, Han Sui continued immediately.

"Then Ning Rong is a mediocre person? I heard that the people under his command eat three meals a day, eat big steamed buns and drink broth for each meal, and whoever contributes to the government will provide them with free houses in the future! Eat and eat Drinking and living, and earning money, the people will naturally flock to it!"

"What's more, the people are not fools. Now that water conservancy projects are being built, Guanzhong will surely restore the peaceful scenery of the fertile fields and thousands of miles in two years' time because of these canals and official roads. Therefore, these people have fled to Guanzhong to settle down." Ma Teng Hearing the words, he gasped, he didn't know if he didn't say it, but after hearing Han Suiyi's explanation, Ning Rong was playing a population war with himself!

Chapter 828 Jian Yong enters the cold

Hearing Han Sui's words, Ma Teng had a somewhat incomprehensible look in his eyes.

"Brother Wen Yue, can Ning Rong still pay wages for the common people?"

But Ma Teng could hear clearly that the governor of Yongzhou was in charge of food and housing, and he could still get his salary.

"No!"

Han Sui smiled strangely.

"Yongzhou Governor's Mansion ordered the soldiers of the patrol battalion to collect good people. Those who complete the mission on time will be rewarded with [-] guan. If they finish ahead of schedule, I heard that there will be material rewards!"

"However, exterminating bandits will naturally be life-threatening, and the officers and soldiers of the patrol battalion naturally understand this truth, so...they cooperated with the people who fled to Yongzhou.

The refugees needed food, and the patrol battalion needed rewards, and the two hit it off. The patrol battalion took the refugees as their own trophies into Chang'an, Yongzhou, and recorded their meritorious deeds.

However, as the people in the later period entered the customs, they suddenly found that even if there were no patrol camps, the government would not treat them badly, so those patrol camps agreed to share dozens of pennies among the three hundred coins! "

When Han Sui mentioned this, Ma Teng understood everything.

call……

Taking a long breath, I have to lament the ingenuity of the Han people for money.

"Could it be that Ning Rong doesn't know?" Ma Teng asked Han Sui.

"So what if you know? Yongzhou needs people, and Ning Rong only needs to pay three hundred guan. As for who the patrol battalion soldiers are willing to give the money to, he naturally doesn't care!"
