In October, the turmoil in Yongliang was basically settled. Poor Dong Bing could not even make a splash and was destroyed. Dong Bing was killed. The Dong family was no longer jumping up and down, and other related people were arrested for surveillance in the stable.

Ma Teng and Han Sui, who had some ideas, saw that there was no chance to take advantage of it, so they continued to cry to the court with their poor. After the court received food from the wealthy families of the aristocratic families, they did alleviate the major problems. Sima Fang wrote to Liu Biao again and asked to buy some food on the condition that they recognized Liu Biao's position as the prefect of Hanzhong.

Liu Biao and Sima Fang secretly reached an agreement. After all, Liu Biao was still a little worried that Sima Fang would expose his little thoughts, so it would be considered a cover-up fee.

On the other hand, the army did rob a lot of food, and with the coordination between the three parties, it finally settled temporarily. Sima Fang Zhiwen's approach, using work instead of relief, began to resettle landless refugees in the military-controlled areas, and carried out the semi-military settlement system.

This immediately received strong support from the military, and also solved the problem of refugees gathering to attack large households. Sima Fang's reputation quickly rose to a new high.

Sima Fang fully understood Ma Teng and Han Sui's call, and he knew that it would be better not to be in trouble at this time. Although it is not impossible to fight now, the key is that he is afraid that Han Sui and Ma Teng will collude with the Xianbei people, and that will be in trouble at that time.

So, Sima Fang gave Ma Teng and Han Sui some food to help them month by month in the form of loans, and suggested that they try their best to ask for food from wild monsters and Xianbei people. After the Xianbei people seized it, they sold it to Yiren. It is also a good business, even more money than selling horses. Now everyone lives a life of tightening their belts. They need to be considerate of each other, and even sent several beauties to the two to comfort them. It is said that these beauties were searched from Dong Zhuo.

In October, the war in Bingzhou was settled, and Gongsun Zan drove Zhang Liao away and became the master of Taiyuan. In addition, Gongsun Zan also had a considerable territory, with a population of about four million. Moreover, the terrain of Bingzhou is good, with mountains on all sides, a large Taiyuan Plain in the middle and a small Shangdang Plain in the south. Among the two relatively closed plains, Gongsun Zan was working hard to accumulate strength.

Zhang Liao retreated north to the barren Great Wall and merged into Youzhou Fang Zhiwen's wings to seek shelter. This avoided the collapse of food outages. However, in this way, he removed one of Lu Bu's arms. Unfortunately, Lu Bu is now unable to protect himself. The flaws with shallow foundations are so obvious when the natural disaster comes.

Lu Bu could not help swallowing this bitter fruit, but few people knew that Lu Bu was not without benefits in this transaction. In fact, Lu Bu's food problem was basically solved. Perhaps in the winter and spring, Lu Bu could fight a few more battles to vent his depression in his heart.

Then, in the disbelief of everyone, the grain prices of the entire Han Dynasty began to plummet, and Li Xueyin and Zhen Jiang and the Tiandihui Chamber of Commerce began to close the net. The rapidly falling grain prices and the heavy snow that have fallen in the north all show that the possibility of a drought next year is getting smaller and smaller. If you don’t take action now, the grain will rot in your own hands.

As a result, the guys who had hoarded goods in the past were in great trouble. When they purchased the goods, the food had increased several times, but now they suddenly fell back to the time of liberation. It was a loss to be a waste of money!

Therefore, there is no winner among the people who have made money in this national crisis. Everyone is regretting the problem of more losses and less losses. If they are not so greedy and leave early, they may not have suffered such a miserable loss. However, greed is always easy to breed, and it is difficult to ascend to heaven if it is eliminated!

Fang Zhiwen knew that his wife and confidante must have made a profit, but he didn't know how much he made. Anyway, all the food was eventually sold to Lu Bu, Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao. As long as Fang Zhiwen could realize Fang Zhiwen's strategic intentions, Fang Zhiwen was satisfied, and the other Fang Zhiwen would not ask about it. However, from Bai Xinyu's face who rushed to the rooster crowing, Fang Zhiwen read a lot of content, and there was joy in making money and more jealousy. It seemed that Li Xueyin and Zhen Jiang really made a lot this time.

However, the granary that Fang Zhiwen has accumulated for many years has also become empty. I hope that next year will be a bumper year, and I hope that Yanmen North will produce enough food next year.

Just when everyone thought that this year's winter would be a relatively stable winter, the Iron Army suddenly crossed the Yellow River from Yanjin north and raided Ji County. Because the Iron Army's actions were very sudden, and Gongsun Zan's military focus was in the northwest, he was immediately caught off guard by the Iron Army. Ji County was lost overnight, and a small number of defenders pushed towards Chaoge in panic. Who knew that the Iron Army did not divide its troops to defend Ji County at all, but followed Chaoge.

The next day, the siege started in Chaoge. Gongsun Fan, who was stationed in Huai County, immediately rushed from Huai County to attack Ji County, but Ji County was simply an empty city, and Gongsun Fan was useless to occupy it. If he didn't occupy it, he was afraid that Lu Bu's army would cross the river and occupy it. After hesitating for a while, he finally threw down the empty Ji County and attacked the iron army behind it.

Unfortunately, since the Iron Army surrendered to Lu Bu, it has strengthened its training in fighting cavalry, especially the Iron Army has two seventh-level heavy infantry generals, and has also trained more heavy infantry grassroots generals. It is no problem to fight against Gongsun Fan's light cavalry, not to mention that they have camps to rely on.

Gongsun Fan failed several times to attack, so he had to retreat into Chaoge City. When the cavalry entered the city, they were nothing. At this time, Dong Zhao and Guan Jing realized that Pang Yuan's purpose was to restrain his cavalry. Sure enough, before Gongsun Fan returned to Huai County, Lu Bu personally led a large army to cross the river from Mengjin, took down the north bank of Mengjin's ferry and quickly surrounded Heyang. Afterwards, many alien troops followed and attacked Heyang.

There were not many defenders in Heyang, and there was no cavalry assistance on the periphery. Even if there were, I would not dare to hit Lu Bu, the great god. So at night, the defenders lit the city and ran away in all directions.

Lu Bu didn't care about these things, but quickly attacked the Ye Wang, trying to take the Ye Wang down and attack Gao Du. He completely separated the defenders of Hanoi from Shangdang. Lu Bu's attack speed was extremely fast. He pushed the front to the Ye Wang in three days. Fortunately, Gongsun Zan was prepared and established many defensive facilities on the periphery of the Ye Wang. He was a cavalry and naturally knew how to defend the cavalry.

Gongsun Zan had no other plan, just to hold back Lu Bu's footsteps, and then quickly shrink the Hanoi garrison to two key points, Ye Wang and Lin Lu, relying on the support of Shangdang County behind him to fight attrition with Lu Bu.

However, Lu Bu did not fight attributable to Gongsun Zan. After sweeping Hanoi, Lu Bu threw the empty Hanoi to the Iron Army and appointed Song Hufeng as the prefect of Hanoi. How to fight Hanoi and how much it can be fought, Lu Bu completely handed over to the Iron Army. However, Lu Bu himself rushed straight into Dongping County, changed defenses with Chen Gong and Wei Xu, and prepared to fight Yuan Shao again in the spring of the next year.

Naturally, the Iron Army could not occupy the entire Hanoi, but once the power was in hand, the Iron Army could fully utilize the advantages of the players to act, so the guilds with good relations with the Iron Army rose one after another. In Hanoi, the city that was picked up for free could be immediately turned into a prosperous territory as long as the population was transported.

The Iron Army was divided into two parts to block Gongsun Zan's route southward, and was also taking advantage of the players' advantage of being good at fighting to further erode the roads in the Taihang Mountains. They wanted to completely block the supplies of Ye Wang and Longu.

Soon, the heavy snowfall made the Taihang Mountain road more and more difficult. Ye Wang and Longu's supply became increasingly difficult. After weighing the pros and cons, Gongsun Zan had to give up these two cities, retreated to Gaodu and Hukou, and closed the passage to the south and north.

At this point, within a month, the Iron Army, with the assistance of Lu Bu, took all Hanoi County. Of course, this also has something to do with Gongsun Zan's intentional sale of Hanoi County. Gongsun Zan has been vigorously managing Shangdang County instead of Hanoi County. Hanoi County was not suitable for defense. Now, Hanoi County, which has no population assistance, is even more difficult to defend. This is also a fact. Furthermore, Gongsun Zan now has to do its best to manage Taiyuan County. It is obviously unwise to fight for Hanoi County. If Hanoi County is handed over to Lu Bu, Gongsun Zan can also use the two heroic passes of Gaodu and Hukou to attack at any time to plunder and harass Lu Bu at any time. This is nothing wrong.

From a strategic perspective, after Hanoi was occupied by the Iron Army, it was very close to Yuan Shao's old nest, Yecheng. Yuan Shao must have been restless and letting Yuan Shao fight with Lu Bu was in line with Gongsun Zan's interests. Therefore, the battle in Hanoi seemed abrupt, but in fact it was a very reasonable ending. It was originally Lu Bu's power.

This is the last battle in the seventh year of Guangxi. After that, there will be no war in the Central Plains. Everyone is preparing to celebrate the New Year quietly. However, the energy accumulated in the Central Plains is like the magma under the volcano, and there is a possibility of another eruption at any time. A natural disaster makes the fragile balance of the Central Plains appear to be even more fragile.

.

"Zhiwen, are you going back to Miyun during the New Year?"

Bai Xinyu opened the weather system and the hole fell around her and walked around her, looking very interesting.

"Back, what?"

"It's nothing, just ask casually. I'll visit your house during the Chinese New Year!"

"Yes, it's so crowded, and a barbecue conference is held!"

“It’s barbecue again!”

"Haha, I can barbecue."

Fang Zhiwen looked at the very lively construction site. This large group of people were digging a huge artificial lake. While chatting with Bai Xinyu beside him, Bai Xinyu couldn't feel the distance from other indigenous people at all. Instead, she was chatting with an ordinary friend. This feeling was very strange.

"Do you think Xianbei people will take the opportunity to call us in winter?"

"No, Xianbei people generally don't act much in winter. In fact, we have more advantages in winter."

"What about spring?"

"It's hard to say, their food shortage will reach the highest level in spring, and maybe they can't help but come."

"Will that ruin our projects?"

"The artificial lake is not very good, but the woods are hard to say, so we plan to visit their homes in winter and tell them not to mess around in spring and get some laborers back. This is a custom, haha."

"Aren't you going back to celebrate the New Year?"

"Nearly two months left, enough!"

"You are really uneasy, Zhen Jiang and the others are all looking forward to it!"

"As soon as possible, hehe."
