Three Kingdoms: From Hulaoguan to Global Hegemony

Chapter 267 Letter from Tian Feng
After saying goodbye to the two, Liu Yu went to the underground palace to discuss with Ma Teng when to deliver the second wave of grain and grass.

"It takes a longer distance to deliver food to Niu Fu. There are only [-] soldiers and horses left here. How about... let the deputy general send another [-] soldiers to help King Zhongshan transport food?"

Ma Teng said that he would fully support Liu Yu's plan, which can be seen from his active deployment of soldiers.

"No! Brother Shoucheng is not only responsible for transporting food and grass, but also taking care of Luoyang city defense. If you lend me soldiers and horses, I'm afraid it will be stretched!"

Now Ma Teng has only 1 soldiers left in the city gate barracks, and they can no longer be transferred randomly. For this reason, Liu Yu ordered Huangfu to return to Mengjin County to transfer troops, so his "grain transport troops" can only be dispatched tomorrow. .

"During the time I left Luoyang, I would like to trouble Brother Shoucheng to keep the control of the East City Gate and North City Gate. If you encounter special circumstances, you can go to Mengjin County to discuss countermeasures with General Huangfusong."

After recruiting [-] soldiers from the Bingzhou Army, Liu Yu secretly garrisoned nearly [-] soldiers in Mengjin County, and transferred General Zhang Liao to station with Huangfusong.

The east gate of Luoyang is facing Hulaoguan, and the north gate is facing Mengjin County. Liu Yu asked Ma Teng to keep control of these two gates, in fact, he was leaving behind his plan.

In case the battle against the three Xiliang armies does not go well, or Liu Yu reveals his identity in advance, the Luoyang east gate and north gate will be the key to the Yulin army's invasion of Luoyang city.

It's just that Liu Yu still doesn't want to start a war in Luoyang City unless it is absolutely necessary. After all, this is an important place for the capital and the core of the Han court, and the war is likely to destroy the only remaining glory here in an instant.

"King of Zhongshan, don't worry, there are only 3 Xiliang troops left in Luoyang. Dong Zhuo will definitely use him, Han Sui, and your family. I will also send someone to secretly protect them!"

"If that's the case, then I will have a long life and become a brother!"

In the end, Liu Yu also reminded Ma Teng to beware of Han Sui, because his sworn brother is really not a loyal person.

Ma Teng and Han Sui were righteous brothers in name, but they often clashed with each other. When they were in Liangzhou alone, they often fought for territory and supplies.

So even if Liu Yu didn't say anything, Ma Teng would keep an eye on this enemy.

After Liu Yu and Ma Teng separated, they were about to go to Niujia Village, and met Liu Bei just after leaving the underground palace.

Liu Bei came to report that Situ Wangyun, Sikong Xunshuang and Weiwei Yang Biao were waiting outside Liu's residence.

Liu Yu was about to leave Luoyang to deliver food and grass to Niu Fu's troops. At this time, Wang Yunsan was anxious to visit and must have a plan.

Is it because you want to stuff people into Taicang, or do you want to partner with me to make a fortune in the process of transporting grain and grass?Liu Yu thought to himself that there might be both.

"It happens that there are still some soldiers to escort food and grass, and Wang Yun and the three come together. It seems that they have tasted the sweetness of dealing with Guo Si's army last time!"

The corner of Liu Yu's mouth curled up slightly, and he dragged Liu Bei to the city.

In fact, Ting Wei Li Ru arrived outside Liu's residence earlier than Wang Yun and the other three at noon.

Li Ru didn't come here to discuss matters with Liu Yu, and it was even more unlikely that he came here to curry favor with other officials. He brought people here to take advantage of Sima Fang's accident to search Liu's mansion to disgust Liu Yu.

But when Li Ru opened the door, he saw Princess Weiyang sitting in the courtyard to enjoy the shade. At that time, he knew that today he might return without success.

For these two days, Dong Bai would come to the front yard of the Liu Mansion in the afternoon to guard. Whenever she saw ministers coming to the Liu Mansion, she would step forward and question her intentions.

Sure enough, as soon as Dong Bai saw Li Ru appearing, he immediately stepped forward to question the reason for his visit.

Of course Li Ru didn't come to introduce Liu Yu's daughter-in-law, but seeing Dong Bai here, he didn't dare to order his men to search Liu's house and make trouble.

In the end, I had to make up a nonsense saying that it was to remind Liu Yu to deliver food to Niu Fu as soon as possible, and then left with his men sadly.

Li Ru led the talents away, and Situ, Wang Yun and the other three came hand in hand.

As soon as the order for Liu Yu to be appointed as the grain transport officer was issued, Wang Yun and the small group of three immediately held an emergency meeting.

At the meeting, they first discussed how to take over the management rights of Taicang while Liu Yu was away from Luoyang, followed by the rumors about Liu Yu and Dong Bai.

If the rumors are true, Liu Yu is likely to become Dong Zhuo's grandson-in-law. In that case, it will be a big deal for the royalists.

After discussing, the three decided to come to visit together and ask whether there is any relationship between Liu Yu and Dong Bai.

But just as Wang Yun and the others knocked on the door of the Liu Mansion, Dong Bai blocked the door.

Dong Bai was not afraid of them, he still asked proudly what he wanted.

Wang Yun and the three would definitely not tell her the reason for their visit, and Dong Bai did it even worse, shutting the three of them away as soon as the gate was closed.

The three of Wang Yun were furious and angry, but they became more and more worried about the relationship between Liu Yu and Dong Bai.

At this moment, Liu Bei came out of the mansion, and was immediately surrounded by Wang Yun and three people.

Liu Bei told them that Zhongshan King Liu Yu went to the underground palace outside the city and was really not at home, and he was here to report important things to Liu Yu.

It turned out that Liu Bei came to the mansion to convey an urgent letter from Cheng Mou, but Liu Yu was not at home, so he was waiting in Xu Shu's "office".

He waited and waited but no one answered, and the matter in the letter was more urgent, so Liu Bei decided to go to the underground palace outside the city to find Liu Yu himself.

Liu Bei would definitely not tell Wang Yun and the other three of these things, but it was inevitable that he would be pulled to invite Liu Yu back to the mansion.

……

On the way back home, Liu Bei handed the letter written by Tian Feng to Liu Yu.

Opening the letter, it first mentioned the development and construction process of Chengmou County, and then wrote about some doubts about the equal distribution of land. I hope Liu Yu can give some pointers to solve the doubts. Finally, Tian Feng also mentioned a difficult problem.

There are signs of food shortage in Chengmou County.

Although Sun Jian ran away with two generals, Guan Yu and Gao Shun were still sitting in Chengmu County, and with Tian Feng's deployment in the middle, Chengmu County has become a good place to live in in just over two months. place.

Refugees from all over the world came after hearing the news, and Tian Feng accepted all of them into the city according to Liu Yu's suggestion, and posted a notice to let the refugees work to support themselves.

The so-called working to support oneself means that all refugees who participate in urban construction can not only obtain some benefits such as food, clothing and housing, but also obtain the right to live in Chengmou County for a long time through accumulating meritorious service.

With the right of residence, you can be allocated a small amount of land. It is precisely because of this that countless people come to Chengmou County to actively participate in the urban construction here.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, good land was completely in the hands of rich families, but Liu Yu wanted to conduct research on experimental fields and sow high-yielding crops. At the same time, he also wanted to try to implement the land equalization system in some specific areas.

It just so happened that the land in Chengmu County was fertile, and all the wealthy families in the city had either moved away or declined during the previous battle.

So when the Habayashi Army marched to the city, the first thing they did was to control all the fertile land in the county, regardless of whether the land was owned or not, the Habayashi Army forcibly bought it.
