Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

Having said that, Liu Yu's tone revealed a hint of sighing.

Guo Jia comforted him, saying, "Jia has come under the command of my lord to assist General Gongsun, so that General Gongsun can have more chances of victory."

"Xuan De's heart is indeed very good."

This is also something that makes Liu Yu feel gratified.

Seeing that Youzhou is about to be drawn into the vortex, Liu Bei, considering the friendship, sent troops and generals from thousands of miles away, and Li Ji even sent his得意 disciple to assist in planning strategies.

This is the real heart of the great Han!

However, while Liu Yu was gratified, he shook his head and said.

"Gongsun Bogui is too arrogant and militaristic. Even if he wins this battle in Jizhou, he does not have the ability to properly govern one side. He will only make the people of Jizhou suffer because of Gongsun Bogui."

"Therefore, I hope that Gongsun Bogui will lose a battle, so that he can wake up."

"It's just that those good men of You and Yan are innocent. If Fengxiao has the ability, please try to preserve those men of You and Yan, so that the good men will not die at the hands of their own people."

At this moment, Guo Jia's heart was greatly touched, and he looked at the old man with white hair and beard in front of him with great respect.

Perhaps the troubled times have arrived, and the heroes are rising together.

But in the eyes of old people like Liu Yu who are concerned about the great Han, no matter which state it is, it is still their own people, so they can't bear to see the men of You and Yan die in battle like this.

"Jia will do his best."

Guo Jia responded solemnly, and Zhao Yun on the side also echoed in a deep voice.

This made the look on Liu Yu's face obviously relaxed a bit, and then he said.

"Now most of the troops in Youzhou have been taken south by Gongsun Bogui. The only troops left are mostly deployed by me on the border to defend against foreign tribes."

"However, Zilon only brought three thousand soldiers and horses. If he goes to assist Gongsun Bogui like this, he may be looked down upon by Gongsun Bogui."

"Fortunately, I still have a two-thousand-strong Wuhuan mixed cavalry in my hand, which can barely serve as a facade for Zilon and Fengxiao, and in Zilon's hands, I am not afraid that these Wuhuan cavalry dare to have any evil intentions."

After hearing this, Zhao Yun couldn't help but show a bit of an embarrassed smile on his face, but Guo Jia was a little confused.

"Could it be that the Wuhuan people have some handle in Zilon's hands?" Guo Jia asked.

Liu Yu explained with a smile, "That's not the case, but in the eyes of the Wuhuan people, Zilon's name is three points more terrifying than the White Horse Righteous Follower."

Once, Zhao Yun charged into the battle alone, three in and three out, blocking tens of thousands of Wuhuan cavalry from crossing the river, and beheading Quli Ju.

These past few years, the shadow that Zhao Yun brought to the Wuhuan people has not only not dissipated, but has gradually been deified by the Wuhuan people.

This is something that Liu Yu, who is in charge of Youzhou's political affairs and needs to frequently send people to contact the Wuhuan tribe, is very clear about.

White Horse has already been regarded as an ominous symbol by the Wuhuan people.

On the basis of White Horse, adding a silver spear will make every Wuhuan person tremble when they see it.

Immediately, before Guo Jia bid farewell and left, he mentioned to Liu Yu, according to Li Ji's instructions, the matter of promoting the breeding of war horses and cattle among the people of Youzhou.

Youzhou is one of the three major horse-breeding areas in the great Han, but in fact, except for some designated horse farms, ordinary people do not specifically breed war horses and cattle.

The reason is very simple, that is, the people of Youzhou are still not full, so how can they have the spare capacity to breed?

The difference between agricultural civilization and nomadic civilization is very obvious.

Therefore, even in Youzhou, a large number of war horses and cattle actually come from the mutual market trade opened up by foreign tribes on the grassland.

As for the war horse and cattle trade that Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan have maintained with Wu County for many years, in fact, Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan are more acting as middlemen.

The war horses and cattle traded from foreign tribes are resold to Jinmen Port, and then sent to Yangzhou through sea trade.

It is worth mentioning that horse dealers who used to appear frequently in Youzhou have almost disappeared.

After all, compared with the practice of horse dealers having to pass through countless passes and bribe to bring the war horses of Youzhou to the Central Plains.

The profits they can actually earn are not high, and the purchase price they can give is far lower than that of Jinmen Port.

Therefore, the appearance of Jinmen Port has completely wiped out the Youzhou horse dealers.

These Youzhou horse dealers either changed their careers, or moved to the neighboring Bingzhou to sell horses.

Among them, the horse dealers Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang, who had funded Liu Bei, became the people in Jinmen Port responsible for the war horse and cattle trade respectively, and the money flowing from their hands every day exceeded the sum of their past family wealth.

It's just that, in Li Ji's view, the number of war horses and cattle continuously flowing out of Youzhou is not enough!

Not to mention the continuous reclamation of Yangzhou and the development of the entire Yizhou, the shortage of cattle produced can be described as massive.

Horses are also important, not only can they be used to form cavalry, but they are also irreplaceable important labor in transportation.

Therefore, maintaining the current scale of war horse and cattle trade with Youzhou is no longer enough to meet Li Ji's needs, and it is necessary to further expand the trade of war horses and cattle.

Li Ji's gaze naturally fell on the people of Youzhou.

Promoting the breeding of a certain number of war horses and cattle by every household in Youzhou, and then selling them to Yangzhou uniformly, can not only increase the income of the people, but also further meet Yangzhou's demand for war horses and cattle.

In addition, Li Ji can also further tie Youzhou to Liu Bei's chariot.

Relying solely on the relationship with Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan is not stable enough, but once Liu Bei directly has a vested interest with countless people in Youzhou, then he will also win the support of the people of Youzhou invisibly.

If anyone wants to cut Youzhou off from Yangzhou, I am afraid that the first to object will be countless people in Youzhou.

Moreover, in order to promote the people of Youzhou to be free from worries, Li Ji also proposed a draft through Guo Jia's mouth.

That is, Yangzhou can continue to subsidize the people during the first batch of breeding, and then deduct the subsidized part when the war horses and cattle are sold.

In essence, this is an interest-free loan.

For a time, Liu Yu was undoubtedly greatly moved.

This is undoubtedly a great thing for the people of Youzhou, allowing the people of Youzhou to have the opportunity to get rich, but if you really want to implement it, you still need to take into account all aspects.

This made Liu Yu want to agree, but he could only shirk and consider it, carefully pondering its feasibility.

And even if Liu Yu intends to promote this matter, there are still countless details that need to be discussed.

Guo Jia alone cannot make this decision, and Liu Yu also needs to send someone to Yangzhou to confirm Liu Bei and Li Ji's attitude.

And after Liu Yu sent Zhao Yun and Guo Jia away, a smile couldn't help but appear on his face, and he said.

"Zikun is really confident. The war in Jizhou has only just begun, and he is so sure that Youzhou will be safe and sound, and he is considering promoting the breeding of war horses and cattle among the people in advance?" (End of this chapter)
