One kick to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 442 Merging State Development
Cold comes and summer goes, south geese return to north, winter goes to spring and returns.In the blink of an eye, time has entered the fourth year of Chuping.

It has been three full years since Qin Yi traveled to this time and space.In three years, he grew from a white man to a state governor.

In just three years, many things have changed.From Qin Yi's unfamiliarity, resistance, and fear of this time and space at the beginning, to now he is very happy.He almost regarded himself as a person from this time and space.Except, when she was with Liu Ruoyin.

The relationship between Qin Yi and Liu Ruoyin seemed to have reached a dead end. Although Liu Ruoyin still provided help to Qin Yi and often chatted with Qin Yi through the intercom, Liu Ruoyin's various behaviors gave Qin Yi the feeling of being just a friend. The kind between them, not mixed with other emotions at all.

There was nothing Qin Yi could do about it, so he could only take one step at a time.His main focus now is to vigorously develop Bingzhou in order to lay a solid foundation for unifying the country in the future.

On the 17th day of the first lunar month, a wedding was held in Bingzhou Governor's Mansion, and the people who got married were Liao Hua and Zhao Yu.Back then, when Liao Hua followed Qin Yi, he was only 13 years old, and Zhao Yu was only 20 years old at that time.Now, three years have passed, Liao Hua has become a [-]-year-old boy, and Zhao Yu has also reached the marriageable age of women in this era.

Ever since Zhao Yu moved to Jinyang, she has been able to get in touch with Liao Hua often, and after going back and forth, this group of boys and girls actually developed feelings for each other.After seeing through this matter, Qin Yi took the initiative to act as a matchmaker and betrothed Zhao Yu to Liao Hua.

Among the civil and military men under Qin Yi, Liao Hua is the youngest. He is already married. As the eldest, Qin Yi, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Guo Jia and others are still single.Probably because Qin Yi was stimulated, he actually ordered that Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, and Guo Jia should all solve their personal problems within this year.

As for himself, Guo Jia testified that, in fact, our lord already has a sweetheart, but the lord is too busy with official duties to take care of getting married.

Everyone was dubious about Guo Jia's explanation, but Qin Yi found it helpful - Fengxiao still understands me!

………………

After the time entered February, spring plowing began.This year, the area of ​​the Mintun area has doubled, and the Military area has just started. For the entire February, Qin Yi has been busy urging the farming.

At the end of last year, Qin Yi moved several small tribes outside the pass into the pass, and also sent more than 1000 Han people out of the pass to reclaim land and grow food outside the pass.

God seems to be giving Qin Yi extra favor this year. Throughout the first half of the year, Bingzhou was stable and the weather was smooth.

While urging the farming, Qin Yi also reorganized the military forces in Bingzhou.After the reorganization was completed, Qin Yi had a rapid response force of 5000 people, a standing garrison army of about 2 people, a field army of about 2 people, and a team composed of Huns and Qingzhou Yellow Turban captives. A hired army of about 5000 people.That is to say, if there is another war, the current Qin Yi can deploy [-] to [-] troops to join the battle.

The operation of Huangshiya Iron Mine and Hedong Salt Field is also very stable.These two places can be said to be Qin Yi's cornucopia and cash cow.

Whether it is salt or iron, it can create huge profits for Qin Yi.Especially after Qin Yi's technological improvement and management improvement, the output of Huangshiya Iron Mine and Hedong Salt Field has become larger, the quality of salt and iron has become better, and the profits created will naturally be more.

However, the products sold by Huangshiya Iron Mine and Hedong Salt Field are all inferior products, and the real high-quality products are given priority to Qin Yi's army.Especially the fine steel produced by Huangshiya Iron Mine, which is not allowed to be sold out for one or two cents, all of which are made into armor and weapons to equip Qin Yi's troops.

………………

Bingzhou is very stable, but it does not mean that other places are also very stable.The Han Dynasty has completely entered troubled times. There are two courts in the west and one in the east. Each court is supported by several states, and some states are weak and wavering.

Even the states that support a certain imperial court are not monolithic, and are also fighting for power and profit.Take the imperial court of Yecheng supported by Qin Yi as an example. Since last year, the brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu have been fighting against each other.

This year, the situation finally became clear.Yuan Shu wooed Gongsun Zan of Youzhou and Tian Kai of Qingzhou as allies, while Yuan Shao wooed Cao Cao of Yanzhou and Qin Yi of Bingzhou as allies.

In other words, the imperial court in Yecheng divided into two camps again, and the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu each commanded one of the camps.

It can be seen from the map that Yuan Shu's camp is in the outer circle, which just wraps Jizhou and Yanzhou in Yuan Shao's camp.And Bingzhou is also on the periphery, but it can also be attacked by Youzhou and Yuzhou at the same time.

Although the two camps are still on the surface of harmony, everyone can see that everyone is accumulating strength, sharpening their swords and preparing for a big fight.

The court of Chang'an didn't stop much either.After Li Que and Guo Si took control of the government, they carried out a large-scale purge in the court. Many officials were dismissed by them, sent back to their hometowns, or imposed a crime and sent to prison.The vacated positions were naturally replaced by their own cronies.

Li Que and Guo Si once issued orders to Niu Fu stationed in Tongguan and Zhang Ji and Lu Bu stationed in Luoyang to report to Chang'an, which was tantamount to letting Niu Fu, Zhang Ji and Lu Bu recognize their current status.But Niu Fu, Zhang Ji, and Lu Bu didn't respond to Li Que and Guo Si.

This angered Li Que and Guo Si. In July, Li Que and Guo Si ordered Fan Chou and Yang Ding to lead an army of [-] to attack Tongguan.Niu Fu asked Zhang Ji for help, and Zhang Ji ordered Lu Bu to lead his army to reinforce Tongguan.Fan Chou and Yang Ding returned to Chang'an after attacking for a long time.

When the battle broke out in Tongguan, Yuan Shu didn't know where his brain was twitching. Seeing that Zhang Ji had sent Lu Bu to Tongguan for reinforcements, he thought that Luoyang's defense was empty, so Yuan Shu personally led a cavalry force of about 5000 men. , Attack Luo Yang.

As a result, Zhang Ji's nephew Zhang Xiu led [-] cavalry to fight and defeated Yuan Shu's army outside the east gate of Luoyang. Yuan Shu almost failed to escape back to his hometown in Yuzhou.

If it's just a matter of stealing chickens, Yuan Shu can bear it. After all, he wants to sneak attack Luo Yang, and if he loses, he loses.However, when the mantis stalked the cicada and the oriole was behind, when Yuan Shu led his army to attack Luoyang, Liu Biao of Jingzhou took advantage of the opportunity and stabbed Yuan Shu's chrysanthemum fiercely.Jingzhou sent troops to Runan County, Yuzhou, and connected several counties within a few days.If it wasn't for Yuan Shu's defeat in Luoyang too quickly and his return to Yuzhou too early, the Jingzhou army might have captured the whole of Runan and dug up the old Yuan's family's ancestral grave.

When Yuan Shu returned to Yuzhou, he immediately got into a fight with Liu Biao. The old enemies fought again.
