Beast King Three Kingdoms

() With the collection of millions of people, plus the army led by Yuan Shu, the daily consumption of food and grass is very large.

However, to Yuan Shu, this was just a trivial matter. He was in charge of all the food and grass of the coalition army before, embezzled a large amount of food through corruption and bribery.

Moreover, Yuan Shu had no intention of returning to Luoyang when he came to pursue Dong Zhuo this time, so he took most of the food and grass of the coalition army away, which was enough for the army and the people.

After a whole night of busy work, Yuan Shu finally arranged everything properly.

The next day, together with Zhang Xun, Lei Bo, and Chen Lan, Yuan Shu's army and millions of people set off on their return journey.

Yuan Shu returned home full of rewards, but the princes in Luoyang did not live well.

Sun Jian's ambitions skyrocketed after he got the jade seal, and he was about to return to the south. Unexpectedly, the news was learned by Yuan Shao.

After Sun Jian left, Yuan Shao followed him and Yuxi with all his heart, and wrote to the newly appointed governor, Liu Biao, asking him to intercept and kill Sun Jian.

Speaking of Liu Biao, he took office during the feudal alliance. During the crusade against Dong Zhuo, Liu Biao had already pacified the south of the Yangtze River, but because of Yuan Shu, Liu Biao's power is far from being as powerful as it was in history.

However, Yuan Shu himself did not realize this.

In history, Liu Biao pacified Jiangnan, took control of Jingzhou, and set his government in Xiangyang.

But now Yuan Shu has acquired Nanyang County ahead of schedule. Although he has not been in business for a long time, he still has a solid foundation, while Xiangyang is under the jurisdiction of Nanyang County.

Liu Biao pacified the four counties of Jiangxia, Nanjun and Jiangnan. Looking back, he intended to infect Nanyang County and unify Jingzhou.

It's a pity that Wenpin had already prepared to divide the [-] army left by Yuan Shu into two groups, one stationed in Wancheng, and the other stationed in Xiangyang to guard against Liu Biao.

Liu Biao tried many times, but all failed. Wenpin managed Xiangyang as solid as gold. Liu Biao had no choice but to reluctantly abandon Nanyang and move the government office south to Jiangling, the capital of Nanjun County.

Seeing Liu Biao's retreat, Wenpin immediately dispatched [-] troops to Jingshan to guard the various passes, completely suppressing Liu Biao to the south of Xiangjiang River and Jingshan.

Liu Biao was very talented, but he didn't have too much enterprising spirit. Seeing that Nanyang could not go down, Liu Biao no longer insisted, and managed the remaining six counties of Jingzhou with peace of mind.

One day, Liu Biao received a letter from Yuan Shao and learned that Sun Jian had hidden the jade seal. As a member of the Han family, Liu Biao naturally couldn't just sit idly by and raised troops to stop him.

The two sides fought a battle, and Liu Biao had the Kuai brothers to advise him. Sun Jian, a reckless man, was naturally no match. The one killed by Liu Biao was defeated, and most of the troops were lost. He dared not return to Changsha and went to Wu County.

Since then, the two have had a grudge, which laid the groundwork for Sun Jian's death in battle.

Besides, when Cao Cao returned from a big defeat, he scolded all the princes one by one in anger.

Seeing that the princes had no enterprising spirit, Cao Cao was deeply disappointed, and led the army to leave, wanting to vote for Yangzhou.

The crusade against Dong Zhuo was initiated by Cao Cao, so Cao Cao has always been regarded as the other backbone of the coalition besides Yuan Shao.

Now that Cao Cao was gone, most of the allied forces lost their morale and left one after another in less than a month.

In March of the first year of Chuping, the vigorous war against Dong finally came to an end.

This time the Eighteenth Route princes crusade against Dong Zhuo, the one who gained the most was naturally Yuan Shu, while Yuan Shao was the one who suffered the worst.

Luoyang was burned by Dong Zhuo, and the princes naturally had nothing to gain.

Among them, Yuan Shao not only did not gain anything, but lost his prestige because of Yuan Kai's last words.

After the news spread to Jizhou, the Yuan family forces who originally planned to support Yuan Shao but stayed in Jizhou began to move southward on a large scale, coming to Nanyang, Yuan Shu's territory.

Yuan Shao stationed troops in Hanoi, and there was nothing he could do about it.

Firstly, the influence of Yuan Kai’s last words was too great. In addition, all the eighteen princes were present at the time, so Yuan Shao had no way to refute. Secondly, Yuan Kai ordered Yuan Shu to succeed the Patriarch, and the Patriarch’s Token has now fallen into Yuan Shu’s hands. , so Yuan Shu has gained righteousness, which can be regarded as justified.

Yuan Shao had no choice but to watch the Yuan family move southward, hating Yuan Shu to death.

At the beginning of May, Yuan Shu's army finally returned to Nanyang after driving for more than two months, and there were millions of people who came at the same time. The happy event was not only these two, Yuan Shu also got a very important person to him.

……

Back in Nanyang, Yuan Shu ordered Gu Yong and Li Feng to settle down millions of people, and then he rested his army and retrained his army, preparing to attack Runan after autumn.

Soon after, Yuan family forces arrived one after another.

Yuan Shu originally thought that he had overestimated the strength of the Yuan family, but after seeing what the Yuan family brought, he realized that he had still underestimated this illustrious family of four generations and three generations.

The Yuan family brought more than 400 million yuan and nearly 500 million shi for grain alone, and the rest of the money was countless.

Even though Yuan Shu had the memory of later generations and had extraordinary knowledge, he was dumbfounded by shock.

"nnd! I finally know why Yuan Shao was able to dominate Hebei. With so much food and grass, how many people and how many troops can be fed!" Yuan Shu's eyes were almost blinded by the Yuan family's wealth.

Cao Cao in history can be said to be miserable. Every time there is a war, there is almost no food and grass, but Yuan Shao basically never worries about food and grass. This is the gap!

Thinking about it, Cao Cao's family background as an eunuch is naturally not comparable to that of Yuan Shao, the fourth generation and third prince. After acquiring the granary in Xuzhou, there is still a shortage of food, which shows how powerful the family is.

Not only that, the Yuan family still has [-] slaves, and they are all young and strong. This is an army of [-]!

In these days, Yuan Shu seemed to be hit by a big pie, and he was dazed and giggling all day long.

However, these were not the things that made Yuan Shu most happy.

With the title of the Patriarch of the Yuan family, he finally got a counselor, which made Yuan Shu almost wake up from his dreams with laughter.

Fengji Ziyuantu, Yuan Shao's counselors in history, once offered Yuan Shao a plan to obtain Jizhou and made great contributions, but now he abandoned Yuan Shao and switched to Yuan Shu after begging for Dong.

In fact, Fengji himself is a student of the Yuan family, so he defected to Yuan Shao. However, Yuan Shao's prestige was greatly reduced when he was begging for Dong, and there were even rumors that he had harmed his uncle Yuan Kai's family. Very disappointed, and finally decided to abandon Yuan Shao.

Without Yuan Shao, Feng Ji, who is a disciple of the Yuan family, can only serve Yuan Shu, and Feng Ji was born in Nanyang, so he is happy to return to his hometown.

Although Feng Ji is not considered a top strategist, for Yuan Shu who is poor and poor, even a third-rate is still a talent!Therefore, Yuan Shu treats Feng Ji with extra courtesy, and always asks about any important matters.

First he got millions of people, then he got the Yuan family's money and food, and then he got talented people to work for him. Yuan Shu's power suddenly expanded several times.

Divide [-] slaves of the Yuan family into the army, take out half of the food and grass, and fill it into the treasury. At the same time, divide the [-] carts of gold, silver and jewelry sent by Dong Feifei into three parts, and reward one part to the expedition Soldiers, one share will provide for the family members of the fallen soldiers, and the rest will naturally go into Yuan Shu's pocket.

The army was expanded by [-], and Yuan Shu's army was already [-]. After discussing with Feng Ji, Yuan Shu stationed [-] troops in Xiangyang.

As an important town in Nanyang, Wancheng is also the capital of Yuan Shu. It directly stationed [-] troops under the command of Ji Ling, assisted by Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and Yu She, and the remaining [-] were dispersed to maintain local law and order.

After arranging the army, Yuan Shu summoned Gu Yong, Feng Ji, and Yan Xiang to discuss the matter of marching into Runan.

After the three of them arrived, Yuan Shu first asked Gu Yong: "I originally thought that after the capture of Runan, people from the aristocratic family would move here to resume production, and at the same time reduce the pressure on Nanyang. But now we have millions of people, how do we go?" Arrangement, I can't make a decision in my heart, I don't know what Yuan Tan thinks about it?"

Gu Yong thought for a while, and replied: "The pressure of feeding a million people in Nanyang County is not small. I'm afraid it won't work anymore. But the lord don't have to worry. Runan is dilapidated. Apart from resuming production, it needs to be repaired." In the city, we are now able to hire those people who have no land. Of course, this is an expedient measure. If we want to properly arrange more than 200 million people, we need to expand the territory of the Lord."

Feng Ji glanced at Gu Yong appreciatively, nodded and agreed: "My lord! What Yuan Tan said is very reasonable, and my lord will not guard against it."

Yan Xiang also said: "Good!"

A gleam flashed in Yuan Shu's eyes, and a word flashed in his mind: "Relief with work!"

At the same time, a door in Yuan Shu's heart also opened. With the passage of time, Yuan Shu has fully integrated into this era. Due to the limitations of the era, he actually forgot the advantage of having the memory of later generations.

"Huh!" Yuan Shu breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "What Yuan Tan said is true, I have a plan in mind."

After closing his eyes and meditating for a moment, Yuan Shu opened his eyes and looked at Gu Yong, and ordered: "Pass down my order, the people's homes, in addition to farming cattle or horses, each household needs to raise an animal."

"Dare to ask my lord, what kind of animal is it?" Gu Yong asked curiously.

"Pig!" Yuan Shu said with a smile.

"Pig?" Gu Yong and the three were all at a loss, not knowing why Yuan Shu asked the common people to raise that seemingly useless pig.
