The strongest system to dominate the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 927 Investigating Qingzhou
For north-south travel, Zhang Yu and the others usually used to travel by sea, but today they plan to travel by land.

And Zhang Yu planned to go by land this time.

After Gu Yong arranged the team, they started to move, and the team slowly headed south.

This time the team was very large, with more than 5 people. The [-] troops were led by Zhang Yu, who were going south to attack Xuzhou.

In addition, there are hundreds of people selected by Xi Zhicai.

Xi Zhicai has deployed hundreds of people from various places, some of whom have been in politics for many years, but two-thirds of them are people who have been in politics for less than two years.

Zhang Yu boldly uses new people, so that more outstanding talents can be cultivated, and the situation can be controlled in the future.

Zhang Yu's territory will become bigger and bigger, and in the future, a group of outstanding talents will be needed to govern the place.

The ability to quickly stabilize after controlling a place is related to the large number of talents in Zhang Yu's hands.

With enough talents, each county can be quickly controlled, and then the entire territory can also be controlled.

When going south, Zhang Yu and the others were not fast.

After entering the territory of Qingzhou, Zhang Yu intentionally stopped to search around.

Zhang Yu left the team to travel in microservices, which did not attract too many people's attention.

Even if someone pays attention to Zhang Yu, he doesn't care.

Soon after the beginning of spring, Zhang Yu took Diao Chan to walk in the field, while the others rested with the big team.

As for Zhang Yu's safety, guards followed him from afar.

Zhang Yu was walking in the field, some places were already plowing the land, and the farmers here still mainly planted wheat.

"Husband, they look like they are indifferent to the world, but they are harmonious." Diao Chan said.

Zhang Yu nodded silently. There is a lot of land here. From a distance, dozens of farmers are working on their respective fields.

Zhang Yu saw that there were young people, several old people, and even three women.

Zhang Yu pulled Diao Chan over and saw an old farmer resting in the field, perhaps tired.

The two men walked over and alarmed the old farmer, who quickly stood up and saluted.

"You two gentlemen, why are you here?"

Zhang Yu didn't answer him, but just sat in the field, which made the old farmer very uncomfortable and restless.

Zhang Yu patted the field beside him and said, "Old man, please sit down."

You old farmer sat down in surprise, but he was still very uneasy.

Zhang Yu looked at the land and those around him and said, "Your family has a lot of land, why are you here to cultivate it?"

The old farmer stretched out his hand and grabbed a handful of soil in the field, then crushed it on his nose and smelled it and said, "Old man, I have only one son, and now I am building a new city. The land at home must not be left unused."

It turned out that this was the case, Zhang Yu pointed to the surroundings and said: "There are many old people and women here, are they also in this situation?"

"Oh, no, most of them are wars, and there is no backbone in the family." The old farmer said with a sigh.

The war in Qingzhou was actually not serious. What was serious was that Yuan Shao took a lot of young men from Qingzhou to serve as soldiers and civilian husbands and never came back.

Zhang Yu no longer asked about this, but asked: "Now that Qingzhou has adopted the New Deal, what do you think?"

"Your Excellency is an official or a businessman. I often hear that there are officials and businessmen. Oh, yes, there are some scholars who like to go down there to do research."

Zhang Yu smiled and did not answer.

After the old farmer finished speaking, he said: "If you want to talk about the New Deal, it is good at present. The government has allocated land and wiped out bandits, so life can be lived on."

Despite this, the old farmer was still worried and not happy about it.

"In this way, the New Deal is still possible, but why are you still frowning, old man?" Zhang Yu asked.

"Oh, it's not because I'm afraid of war. I had two sons, but one of them went to the battlefield and didn't come back."

The old farmer sighed deeply and then said: "Actually, Yuan Shao lived a good life after he occupied Qingzhou. He did not impose excessive taxes and allowed him to rest and recuperate. But after the war, Qingzhou fell into chaos."

"In the end, many people couldn't make it through, and there were bandits everywhere."

The old farmer fell into deep sorrow when he recalled the past.

Zhang Yu nodded slightly, but didn't make any promises.

Wars kill people, and Zhang Yu will continue to wage wars. If he wins, there will be no chaos in Qingzhou, and bandits and bandits will not be rampant even if it is tight.

The war is not something that Zhang Yu can stop fighting if he wants to. The general trend is such that the long-term must be united, and only reunification can stop the war.

Zhang Yu learned about the new policies again, and saw how the government governed. He didn't find too many problems, so Zhang Yu left again.

Along the way, Zhang Yu inspected many places. The big problem is that Qingzhou's young and strong lost a lot, most of which were due to war and banditry.

Now that Qingzhou has stabilized, although it is developing rapidly, it is impossible to replenish the lost youth.

Zhang Yu moved a large number of people abroad, one is that so many people are needed overseas, and the other is to allow the people to get enough land.

There is a lot of land here, but there are only so many that have been reclaimed. Of course, it is okay to let the people reclaim the land by themselves, but in order to quickly develop and stabilize the situation, Zhang Yu still relocated the population.

Going south was much slower because Zhang Yu often stopped to investigate.

Zhang Yu was inspecting, and Xi Zhicai was actually taking people on the inspection as well, letting them learn from experience by the way.

Xuzhou's battle reports are constantly coming in, and it's not too difficult. Half of Xuzhou has been captured now. It won't take long for Zhang Yu and the others to capture Xuzhou once they arrive.

Zhang Yu is so slow, and he still has an army of [-]. It doesn't look like he is supporting Xuzhou.

In fact, Zhang Yu is more supportive of Xuzhou.

Cao Cao has been paying attention to Zhang Yu, but after Zhang Yu entered Qingzhou, he often walked dozens of miles a day.

The suspicious Cao Cao has never dared to intervene in the battle of Xuzhou, he was afraid of Zhang Yu's [-] reinforcements.

I don't know where the [-] reinforcements are going to attack, whether it is Qingzhou, Yanzhou or Jizhou.

Within Qingzhou, Zhang Yu could change direction at any time.

Therefore, Cao Cao has never dared to directly intervene in the battle of Xuzhou, fearing that Zhang Yu would suddenly attack from somewhere, and he could not deal with it.

Now Zhang Yu has deployed 30 troops on the border between Qingzhou and Youzhou, ready to intervene in the battle of Jizhou at any time.

At this time in Jizhou, Cao Cao had already started to attack, Cao Ang went all the way, and then another way, the offensive was very fierce.

But Cao Cao must always be on guard against Zhang Yu's intervention.

After Cao Ang returned, Sun Ce increased his troops in a few places separated from Zhang Yu, apparently to support Cao Cao and contain Zhang Yu.

No matter what agreement they reached, Zhang Yu only cared about his own rhythm.

All the way south, Zhang Yu walked very slowly. In the evening, he and his wives did some private things in the luxury carriage and in the marching tent. They were very happy.
