Chapter 388: Sour Dates Association
Two days later, Liu He received a letter from Feiying Guard.
"As expected, this time, I sent my fifth brother to Luoyang, which is the most suitable candidate. It's not bad."
After reading the letter, he threw it into a charcoal basin beside it and burned it.
"Hmph, Li Ru, maybe your wisdom is above me today, but so what? You don't know me enough, but I know you too much. Historical materials I learned in my previous life and the secret investigations of the Flying Eagle Guard these days, Humph, I expected that you would have many doubts about me. Do you think you were guarding me? Humph, but you didn't know that your way to prevent me was the guillotine I set up for you!"
In Chenliu County, Xiangyi City, there is a mansion with a vast area, which can be called the largest mansion in the city. A plaque hung at the door of the mansion with two big characters written on it.
Somewhere in the mansion, two middle-aged men with similar appearances were sitting in front of a bed with concern. On the bed was a young man, either someone else or Wei Zhong, the eldest son of Wei, who was punished and detained in Jiuyuan City a few months ago.
An old man carrying a medicine box, after some diagnosis and treatment, bowed and retreated, and the two men followed him out.
"Sir, how is my son's health?"
The old man bowed and said, "Don't worry, the young master just suffered from a cold and had some skin trauma on his body. He was worried and frightened. So that's why the villain prescribed a prescription, take it every day, and then recuperate for a while, so it's fine. However, the young master has always been weak, and this time he has suffered from cold seems to have been a bit long. The cold air has entered his body deeply. You need to be careful in the future. It's better to go out less."
"Thank you so much, Mr. I'm sending someone to take medicine with me."
A servant followed the doctor away, leaving two middle-aged men with a very ugly face.
"Brother, it's all my fault that Liu He's son was so difficult for a little bit of trouble. He was imprisoned in prison for so long. The north was cold. How could he not be frozen? You and I both got children from old age. If you are not careful, you will be at risk of extinction. How can you endure such a deep hatred?"
The one who looked a little younger looked very angry.
The older man had an extremely gloomy face and clenched his fists tightly.
"Liu He is powerful, don't talk about you and me, even the master family will give in. How can he take revenge?"
"Hey, you can't be bullied for nothing, right?"
The elder brother suddenly sneered a few times: "I, Chenliuwei, are you easy to bully? In business, if the Yingchuan Xun family secretly helped him, it would be inconvenient for us to fight, but we would never give up!"
The younger brother's eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked, "What are your tricks?"
"Why do you have to take revenge and let me take action personally? Do you still remember that Cao Aman came to visit him half a month ago?"
The younger brother blurted out: "Of course I remember that he asked his elder brother to fund his riot and said he was attacking Dong Zhuo. This matter is really ridiculous. His Cao family and Xiahou family also have a lot of property. Why do you and I need to invest in the army?"
The eldest brother sneered, "No, I not only want to support him, but also double the amount of money, food and materials he mentioned before..."
The annual Spring Festival is coming again. Now at least more than 10,000 people have settled in each county in the six counties, and the walls and roads of each city have been renovated.
The construction of the rebuilding of the official road that had been discussed with Qian Li and Zhang Shiping has started. The official road from Pingcheng to Qianyin has been repaired, and the official road from Tongzhu to Manbo has been repaired. Finally, it has arrived at all the official roads in Linrong City, Shuofang County. It is expected to take two years, cost about one billion, and have more than three million stones of food and grass.
Not only that, there are five dangerous passes in the northern border, including Yanmen Pass, and it is also planned to be repaired or rebuilt after the beginning of spring. The new passes will be taller and stronger, and will be equipped with dozens to hundreds of stern crossbows, or heavy crossbows that break stones, which will be such a pass.
Except for Yanmen Pass, the other four passes are built on the terrain of the Yinshan Mountains, which are easy to defend but difficult to attack. With this arrangement, even if two thousand Anminister soldiers guard it, they will be enough to resist ten times their enemy cavalry, and use this to deter and guard against the Hu tribe, which is now hostile to Liu He and the Han Dynasty, which is more than enough.
To this end, the Anmin Army recruited thousands of new recruits in advance and stepped up training so that it could enter various passes when needed every day.
Among these six counties, the powerful family almost does not exist. In order to offset some of the crimes committed by the family, most of the family property was dispersed. Most of their servants and guards were lifted out of their contracts for sale and returned their free self, becoming ordinary people involved in labor.
By now, under Liu He's rule, more than 800,000 people have been registered, including more than 600,000 Han people, nearly 200,000 Xianbei, and about 10,000 other ethnic groups such as the Huns have naturalized. Those who come to naturalize will be arranged nearby, and those who come together in groups or even the entire small tribes will be placed separately, and will be placed separately, and will be cared for and educated by a dedicated person.
At the end of the year, more than 300 million yuan of taxes and more than 200,000 stones of food and grass were received. A total of 160,000 mu of paddy fields were taken care of by Zhan Lian in the army. The harvest was a total of more than one million stones for the two harvests throughout the year. In addition, the bank distributed nearly 400 million yuan in dividends, and Liu He's own cattle, sheep, horses and donkeys sold more than one billion yuan.
Over the past year, Liu He was almost considered rich.
In short, now the rule is in order and a prosperous scene. Liu He can finally completely lose his worries and go to the Central Plains to try it!
As February arrived, the snow had melted, the earth was rejuvenated, and the plants and trees all sprouted.
And in the wilderness outside Yanmen Pass, a huge army was arranged very neatly, and was waiting for it here.
Liu He's army gathered again.
Guan Yu's 20,000 purple gold dragon cavalry have been equipped with all of them, including people and horses, and a full set of black armor. Each horse has a sharp metal horn on the head. The soldiers held the newly created scimitar spear and added a scimitar on the side of the spear head. It was extremely sharp. Although it was not a magic weapon, the sharpness alone was not far from the same difference.
Zhang Yong's 10,000 Golden Sword Camp, the soldiers' light armor was also improved, and the golden sword in his hand was also completely new, which was even more than the previous one.
In Ye Xiang's Ten Thousand Shenji Camp, everyone's crossbows were improved, especially the twenty consecutive powerful crossbows, which were difficult to use by ordinary untrained soldiers, but they were very powerful. Ye Xiang and Qu Hang finally replaced the strongest five-stone strong bow "Breaking Cloud Bow".
The same is true for Gao Shun's Han Wushu. The soldiers' armor became thicker, but the heavy shield, which was nearly one person, was changed to a much lighter and much more flexible to use. The spear was also changed to a much shorter ordinary spear, and each person had a sword around his waist.
The number of the 100 God Tiger Cavalry led by Cheng Liang has not expanded, but the tiger mounts are even more fierce, and the soldiers' equipment and martial arts are also improved.
After Liu He's oath, all the soldiers were excited, and they were panting and their eyes were red.
Because everyone knows what this battle means, it is all about this battle. It is all about this battle.
"Set off!"
At the command of Liu He, a 50,000 army sang various military songs and crossed Yanmen Pass. His morale and morale were strong, which shocked the world.
In these days, many princes rose up from all directions, and everyone had a common destination, jujube.
However, all the princes did not expect two things. One was their actions. Every day, the Flying Eagle Guard would report to Liu He who was marching, so that Liu He knew their strength well before joining the princes.
Second, this time the Dong League was Liu He's plan from beginning to end, and the final result was destined to belong to Liu He.
