Ke Bineng nodded and smiled: "Although I thought of using Han people before, the strategy of using Han Chinese to control Han as mentioned by Chen Chao today made my mind clearer."

The woman said: "Da Shanyu has already married Yuan Shao's daughter. It is better to kiss Dong Zhuo and let him also marry a daughter to show the sincerity of the alliance."

Kebi laughed and said; "That's a good idea, just do it!" Then he put his arms around the woman's slender waist, kissed her red lips rudely, raised her chin with his fingers, and looked at this beautiful face. , Sighed: "Although you were born in the Han Palace, you are my Zhang Zifang!"

The woman smiled sweetly. Immediately there was a look of hatred on the beautiful face, and he said cruelly: "When I left the Han Palace that day, I vowed to destroy the Han Dynasty in return for their kindness to me! In this life, my concubine's greatest wish is to help. Da Xianbei destroyed the Han Dynasty and entered the Central Plains! At that time, I wanted to see what those people looked like when they knelt before me!" There was a crazy smell on the woman's face. Ke Bi can smile and say: "This day will definitely come!"

Ke Bi could think of one thing and asked: "What do you think of Ying Yangjun?"

The woman frowned and was silent for a moment, and solemnly said: "Da Shanyu must not be careless about the Ying Yang army! The concubines are originally Han people, so they know very well, in fact, Han people are very profitable and fierce in their bones! But they have always been treated by Confucianism Moral suppression is difficult to exert! But this Chen Lang obviously hates Confucianism. Under his rule, the influence of Confucianism is almost eradicated. Therefore, Yingyang's army is so powerful!"

Ke Bi can smile and say, "It's okay to have such a powerful opponent!" Then he looked outside, looking eagerly and authentically: "I really want to compete with this legendary General Ying Yang to see if he is not. It's really as powerful as the legend!"

The woman looked at Ke Bi Neng with admiration and smiled; "I think that Chen Lang will eventually surrender to the majesty of Da Shan Yu!"

Ke Bi was taken aback, laughed loudly, and took the woman and walked behind the screen. After a while, the sweet yin was loud, and the ambiguous atmosphere filled.

In the big tent, Chen Lang looked at the letter from Jia Xu that had just been sent from Luoyang. After reading it, Chen Lang looked thoughtful. He raised his head and said to the generals with a smile; "Wen He said that Ma Teng's messenger jumped in a hurry!"

Everyone couldn't help laughing, and Xu Huang said, "Ma Teng Han Sui is in a critical situation now, so he is naturally anxious! But now it is difficult for us to divide our forces!"

Zhao Yun thought: "If our army wants to make a move, it can only use the one hundred thousand troops in Guanzhong. Can this force work?"

Chen Lang said: "I have to try if it works. I can't just watch Dong Zhuo kill Ma Teng and Han Sui!" He glanced at the generals, "I plan to rush to Guanzhong tomorrow morning. The matter is left to you. Xingba, you are still the main general, Zilong and Gongming, and you two are the lieutenants to assist Xingba." The generals clasped their fists and promised.

Chen Lang exhorted: "The overall strength of the enemy army is higher than that of our army. You must guard against it and do not slack off, and you must not rush into battle!"

Early the next morning, Chen Lang left Yanmen and headed south under the protection of Dianwei and the fangs. At this time, the restoration and construction of Yanmen is still in progress, a busy scene.

After Chen Lang left Yanmen, he did not return to Luoyang first, but went directly to Chang'an via Hexi County. All the way day and night, a few days later, the group had already entered the city of Chang'an.

Zhang Liao received the news and rushed to meet Chen Lang.

Chen Lang smiled; "Wen Yuan, I haven't seen it for a long time, it was much darker immediately!" Dian Wei grinned. Zhang Liao smiled and clasped his fists and said: "Thank you for your concern!" Then he said: "The residence of the lord is ready, and the final will lead the way for the lord." Chen Lang said: "Let's walk on the street first!" Zhang Liao promised. .

The two riders walked side by side, walking on the east street of Chang'an, followed by Dian Wei and others. Chen Lang looked around, and saw the hustle and bustle of Chang'an City, and the cries of vendors were one after another. It was far from the original scene of a sparse population and a dying livelihood! Although it cannot be compared with the prosperity of Luoyang, there is already some prosperity!

Seeing such a sight, Chen Lang couldn't help but feel relieved, and smiled: "Chang'an City finally wants to behave!" Zhang Liao glanced around and nodded.

At this moment, an official in civilian robes led several subordinate officials hurriedly over and said: "Chang'an Changshi Zhang Kaixian pays homage to the general!" Several other people also paid homage. This Zhang Kaixian was originally an unknown official of the imperial court. Jia Xu recommended Chen Lang to inspect him personally, and then he was selected as Chang'an Changshi. Although this Chang'an Chang'an is not a high-ranking official, he is the actual executor of civil affairs in the entire Guanzhong area. Today's Guanzhong can be governed like this, and this Chang'an Changshi is absolutely indispensable.

auzw.com Chen Lang smiled and said; "You don't need to be polite, just get up!" Everyone thanked them, stood up, and ran to the other side of Chen Lang to join Chen Lang and the others. On the way, the common people gave way after seeing their group.

Chen Lang praised: "You have done a good job. The situation in Chang'an City is much better than I expected!"

Zhang Kaixian hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "This is all the great general's strategizing work, and the subordinates are just observing and implementing it!" Chen Lang smiled and waved his hand, and said, "I have nothing to do with my major policies! You cadres who implement the best policies are just empty talk! So in this matter, you and me deserve half of the credit." Zhang Kaixian was only flattered and didn't know what to say.

Chen Lang remembered the previous report and asked, "Now Guanzhong's fertile fields have increased to 1.5 million hectares, right?"

Zhang Kaixian smiled; "That was the number from a month ago, and now the latest figure is 2 million hectares!" Chen Lang was startled, "So much!" Zhang Kaixian smiled, "The speed of the return of refugees is faster than previously expected. It is much faster. In addition, many nomadic people and people in Xiliang who originally lived in the Hetao area have also migrated, and the population growth rate has doubled faster than previously expected! In addition, the preferential policy of reclaiming wasteland , So the rate of increase in grain fields is so amazing!"

Chen Lang asked, "So how many people are in Guanzhong now?"

Zhang Kaixian immediately said: "It is difficult to count the specifics, but there are already more than 3 million people registered!"

When Chen Lang heard this number, he was very happy, because when Chen Lang had just regained Chang'an, the population of Guanzhong was estimated to be only over one million people. Today the population of the entire Han area is about 35 million. Luoyang is probably the most prosperous place with a population of about 5 million; the population of Binzhou is only a few hundred thousand due to wars and foreign races, and Jinyang, a large city, has a population of only about seven to eighty thousand. At present, the total population of the area under Chen Lang's control is between 8 million and 9 million, but not all of them are Han people. I am afraid that there are almost a million foreign races, Huns, Qiangs, etc. who have migrated from various places. Having said this, let me say a little off topic. For all princes in this era, the most precious resource is not money and food, but population. This is why in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms," both Dong Zhuo and Liu Bei had to coerce the people when they retreated, because as long as there are people, there will be money and food, and as long as there are people, there will be an army.

Chen Lang chatted with Zhang Kaixian for a while, and probably learned about the current situation in Guanzhong area.

Chen Lang asked Zhang Liao: "Wen Yuan, how is the fighting situation in the west?"

Zhang Liao clasped his fist and said, "I just received the news that the battle situation in Heli Mountain is very bad. Ma Teng Han Sui has been besieged by Dong Zhuo's army. I think Ma Teng Han Sui will be wiped out by Dong Zhuo within half a month!"

Chen Lang frowned, "The situation has reached such a point!" he asked inexplicably; "Ma Teng Han Sui's army should not be weak! How come it is so?"

Zhang Liao shook his head and said; "The specific situation is unclear!"

When Zhang Kaixian saw Chen Lang and Zhang Liao talking about military affairs, he felt that he was unsuitable to listen, so he clasped his fists and said; "The general wants to discuss military affairs with General Wen Yuan, so his subordinates leave." Chen Lang nodded, "Go ahead." Zhang Kaixian bowed to Chen Lang, and led his staff to leave.

Chen Lang glanced at Zhang Kaixian's back and smiled: "This Zhang Kaixian is quite capable!"

Zhang Liao nodded and said with a smile: "It's really capable! There are a lot of officials I'll meet at the end, but it's the first time I've seen someone as capable as him!" Then he smiled and said to Chen Lang: "The lord may not be there yet. I know, we can say that we are not closing our doors at night in Chang'an now!" Chen Lang felt a little unbelievable, "Really?" Zhang Liao nodded seriously, "How dare you deceive the lord in the end!"

Chen Lang thought for a while and asked, "How many guards did Dong Zhuo deploy to the east?"

Zhang Liaodao: "One hundred thousand horses, led by Li Que. It is divided into two parts, one in Didao and the other in Tianshui. Li Que personally defends Tianshui, and general Duan Yan is responsible for guarding Didao."

Chen Lang thought to himself: "Our army can mobilize at most 80,000 soldiers and horses. I am afraid it will be difficult to defeat them." Zhang Liao nodded, also appearing a little embarrassed.

Chen Lang said to Zhang Liao: "Assemble the army. If this battle is not good, you have to fight." Zhang Liao clasped his fists and said; "Before the lord came, the final general had assembled 40,000 soldiers and horses and secretly transferred them to nearby Tianshui. Liushu Town, waiting for the lord's dispatch." Chen Lang praised: "Wen Yuan did a good job." After a pause, "It should not be too late, let's set off immediately!" Zhang Liao asked in surprise; "Don't the lord take a rest first? "Chen Lang waved his hand; "The military is in an emergency, what else to rest!"

Zhang Liao immediately ordered people to inform Zhang Kaixian and the generals who stayed behind in Chang'an, and then left Chang'an with Chen Lang and ran straight to the west.

A day later, Chen Lang and his party rushed to the army in the forest outside Liushu Town.
