After the war in Xuzhou, he secretly began to prepare farms and planted large quantities of potatoes and sweet potatoes. At the same time, Xuzhou began to accept large quantities of refugees from all over the country.

Li Chen intercepted a large amount of food and grass supplies from his own transportation team leader Yuan Shao. At this time, he could be said to be in short supply of money and food. Moreover, Li Chen did not need to leave a backup plan. It only took more than a hundred days later that his first batch of potatoes and sweet potatoes was time to harvest. At that time, he did not need to worry about food and grass.

In a blink of an eye, half a year has passed. Xuzhou is developing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Military, agriculture and commerce have become the richest state in the entire Han Dynasty.

Xuzhou City, Yunlong Palace.

"Report to the lord, the first batch of potatoes and sweet potatoes have been harvested, and the warehouse is now rich in grain. If calculated based on the current population and military strength of Xuzhou, it will be enough for three years." Chen Deng was reporting that he was responsible for the military farming matters in Xuzhou.

"Lord, in the past six months, Xuzhou has collected a total of 300,000 victims. Now the victims have been resettled in various counties. In recent years, there have been many fewer victims in these days." Yu Qian also reported his work, and he is responsible for the absorption and resettlement of victims.

Even in this era when eating is a bit difficult, the Han people attached great importance to the concept of home and the New Year. A few days ago, disaster victims from all over the country rushed to Xuzhou in groups. These days may be due to the recent end of the year, and fewer disaster victims came to Xuzhou.

After listening to everyone's report on his work, Li Chen then said, "The absorption work of disaster victims must be accelerated. We must make Xuzhou the largest population state in the entire Han Dynasty. Now we have no shortage of food. With a population, it means having a source of troops."

"The next big battle is probably not far away."

These days, the situation in Luoyang has become more and more serious. Since Dong Zhuo took Emperor Xian of Han Liu Xie to Chang'an a few years ago, Wang Yun and Lu Bu planned to kill Dong Zhuo. Later, Li Qun and Guo Si killed Wang Yun and avenged Dong Zhuo, and brought Emperor Xian of Han Liu Xie back to Luoyang.

Just a few months ago, Li Que killed Fan Chou, a general of the Xiliang Army, which made Guo Si feel a sense of crisis. At this time, the honeymoon period between Li Que and Guo Si was almost over, and the civil strife in the Xiliang Army was about to begin.

At this time, the biggest node from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms period came. The ministers of Luoyang took advantage of the civil strife of the Western Liang army and secretly led Emperor Xian of Han Liu Xie to sneak out of Luoyang and escape from the control of the Western Liang army.

There is no doubt that behind it was many warlords robbed Emperor Xian of Han Liu Xie, and then Cao Cao used the emperor to order the princes to move the capital to Xuchang, thus occupying the initiative throughout the Three Kingdoms period.

The year 194 was about to end, and the year was 195 AD. If we follow the history of our previous life, the time when Cao Cao took the emperor to command the princes should be 196 AD.

But Li Chen always felt that the wind flapping out of his butterfly's wings blew the entire historical trajectory a little bit. Judging from the current situation, Li Que and Guo Si's honeymoon period would never last for one year.

Whether he can get the things in the dry well in Luoyang is related to whether Li Chen can take the initiative and righteousness in the warlords' melee in the future. Therefore, he must make plans early. Because of this, Li Chen is preparing to sneak to Luoyang secretly.

"Yuanlong, I'll go to Luoyang this time. It's a few months or a few months later. I'll leave the matter to you in Xuzhou." Li Chen reminded Chen Deng.

"Don't worry, lord, Chen Deng must do his best." Chen Deng bowed his hand and said.

"Qingzhi, when my military order arrives, you will immediately lead your army to Hulao Pass, and you will not delay it for a moment." Li Chen hurriedly reminded Chen Qingzhi again.

"No." Chen Qingzhi bowed.

Outside Luoyang, there is a Hulao Pass. This is a place where one man is the pass and ten thousand men cannot open. Back then, even when the eighteen princes attacked Dong, they did not open the door to Hulao Pass.

If Dong Zhuo hadn't panicked in the end, burned Luoyang and moved the capital to Chang'an, he would have been afraid that the 18 princes would not have been able to conquer Hulao Pass at all.

When the eighteen princes of the eighteen routes were able to join forces, the reason why they were able to join forces was because everyone was still very weak. A group of small fish could join forces to resist the big fish, but the big fish and the small fish would eat the small fish together.

Therefore, the situation of the eighteen princes in the 18th line of vassals against Dong could not be replicated. Therefore, Li Chen just asked Chen Qingzhi to rush to Hulao Pass to obey the orders as soon as he received his military order, rather than attacking Hulao Pass.

Once the Xiliang army was in civil turmoil, the ministers in the court would take Emperor Xian of Han to escape, and there was no need to do such a thankless thing as a forced attack on Hulao Pass. The reason why Li Chen sneaked into Luoyang was not Liu Xie, but the thing in the dry well.

Li Chen was not good at handling political affairs, so he simply became a hand-off manager. Chen Deng and Yu Qian handled the political affairs in Xuzhou, and Chen Qingzhi was there in military affairs. Xuzhou was like an iron barrel.

Li Chen sneaked into Luoyang this time and was also a super luxurious team. Wen and Liu Bowen were by his side to make suggestions, Wu and Yu and Wen were personal bodyguards in Chengdu. Professionals were Luo Yangxing, an intelligence expert, and then brought Cheng Yaojin, the mascot.

With such a team around you, how can you talk about failure?

In December 194 AD, when there were not many days before the end of the year, Li Chen brought his team of kings to Luoyang disguised as a merchant.

The northwest wind roared, and heavy snow like goose feathers were scattered in the sky. The heavy snow fell, and the snow on the ground was thicker than a finger.

"Ka, da, da."

A sound of horse hooves sounded without any rush, and a horse team that looked like a merchant appeared in front of Luoyang City.

Why do we say that this is a horse team that looks like a merchant? Because the two white horses in the lead look extremely handsome, you can see at a glance that these two are good horses that travel thousands of miles a day.

This caravan is naturally disguised by Li Chen's Heavenly King Group. As for the two leading divine white horses, they are Yuwen Chengdu's Race Dragon Five Spot Horses and Li Chen's Red Rabbit Horses.

Naturally, Li Chen would not ride this famous Red Rabbit Horse into Luoyang, so in order to disguise, he used the method of fooling Gongsun Zan to dye the Red Rabbit Horse and the five-spotted horses in Yuwen Chengdu white.

As we all know, the red rabbit horse is red. No one would think that this white horse is so handsome that no one would think that this is the red rabbit horse.

Looking at the tall city wall in front of him, Li Chen couldn't help but sigh. The place where the emperor lived was extraordinary. Even though he was burned by Dong Zhuo a few years ago, he seemed to have returned to his former prosperity.

Merchants, if they have milk, they will go wherever they have business opportunities. The emperor lives in Luoyang, and Luoyang's business is naturally everywhere.
