Chapter 235: The Gongsun Family’s Challenge

After dawn, the fire gradually extinguished. Zhang Yu sent many soldiers to monitor the Wuhuan people. Zhang Yu had to make sure that they left before he could feel at ease.

There were also many war horses scattered around the battlefield, and Zhang Yu ordered people to collect them.

One day later, Zhang Yu and the others collected more than 5,000 war horses, which can be said to be a very good harvest.

On the third day after the war, Zhang Yu formally held a meeting in the prefect's mansion.

Only a few of his core subordinates participated.

"This time the Wuhuan people invaded the south. Although the Wuhuan people have not left yet, I believe they will not dare to come back this time. But next time they come, they will definitely be even more ferocious." Zhang Yu spoke first.

Victory in the war should have been joyful, but Zhang Yu talked about such a heavy topic.

Everyone nodded, knowing that defeating Wuhuan's army was only temporary.

Zhang Yu went on to say: "We have lost a lot in this battle, but I hope we will not be like this next time. The most urgent thing for Liaodong at present is to restore its strength."

Zhang Yu paused, looked around for a week, and then said: "I have decided that Liaodong will start conscription training immediately. There will be 10,000 infantry and 5,000 cavalry, and everyone will make arrangements immediately, and they must be armed in the shortest possible time. "

Zhang Yu was so anxious that the order in Liaodong had not yet been restored, but he was anxious to restore his troops.

Zhang Yu had to worry because he thought of a terrible possibility.

Even if he had increased the population by so much, according to the regulations of the system, the population of Wuhuan would definitely increase dramatically.

Calculated in this way, the strength of the Wuhuan people has grown a lot.

Their population has increased greatly, but their food has increased little, and they will surely invade the south again soon.

Next time, it will definitely be more fierce.

That's why Zhang Yu couldn't wait to restore his troops.

Then Zhang Yu arranged for Guo Jia and Gu Yong to sort out the internal affairs, move the people out of the mountains, and then start to develop production.

Today's Liaodong can be said to be dilapidated.

Not to mention the loss of a lot of combatants for nearly a month, production in all aspects has come to a standstill.

Zhang Yu began to organize the entire Liaodong.

The first is to organize the administrative system of each county.

Due to Wuhuan's continuous invasion, all officials, big and small, in Liaodong have run away.

Fortunately, Zhang Yu asked for a group of people from Mi Zhu, so it was worthwhile to set up the shelves of several counties.

After setting up the team, Zhang Yu started production.

The development of production is not a simple matter, it requires a huge amount of investment, Zhang Yu spent hundreds of thousands of points to come up with a prototype, but there is a big gap.

Zhang Yu devoted himself to government affairs, and in order to set up the shelf as soon as possible, he also worked hard.

After half a month, Zhang Yu could barely catch his breath.

"Everyone has been busy for half a month, each talking about the results and problems." Half a month later, Zhang Yu called his men together again.

First of all, Gu Yong, who was in charge of government affairs, came out and said, "My lord, I haven't been able to resettle all the population in the past half a month. There are really too many people, and the entire Liaodong has been destroyed too badly."

Gu Yong explained in detail that there are still one-third of the people who cannot be resettled, leaving them to fend for themselves.

Some of these were destroyed by the Wuhuan people, and some were exchanged by Zhang Yu.

In order to deal with the Wuhuan people, Zhang Yu had to exchange a large number of people, but the problem also came, and Liaodong after the war could not be resettled at all.

Zhang Yu also had no good solution, so he could only do his best.

Then Huang Zhong reported: "Master, so far we have only recruited more than 3,000 infantry and more than 2,000 cavalry. Including the previous soldiers and horses, there are more than 5,000 infantry and more than 2,000 cavalry. There is still a big gap.”

Zhang Yu was puzzled. It was the easiest to recruit soldiers in this era. As long as there was food, a soldier could be recruited quickly, but now more than 10,000 people can't recruit enough for half a month.

Guo Jia said: "My lord, I know the reason, but my lord had too many things to do before, so I didn't report it to you."

Looking at Guo Jia's appearance, Zhang Yu knew that things were not that simple.

"Say.

"

Zhang Yu's face was serious, maybe he had already guessed something, Guo Jia cupped his hands slightly and said: "My lord, this subordinate is in charge of internal and external intelligence, and this subordinate has discovered that the members of the Gongsun family have been using their influence to spread all kinds of rumors to stop our things."

"Gongsun's family has been spreading the word. This time, the lord has angered the Wuhuan people. Wuhuan will immediately dispatch 200,000 troops to the south. When the time comes, people will surely die. All this is caused by the lord."

"Gongsun's family doesn't need people to join the Lord's army and spread all kinds of rumors to make our newly recruited army unstable."

"Boom~" Zhang Yu was furious when he heard this, dropped his cup and shouted loudly: "I said earlier that if I escaped, there would be no place for their Gongsun family. I haven't gone to them yet, I didn't expect They came to mess with me."

"My lord, we might as well send troops to destroy them." Dian Wei also said very angrily.

Zhang Yu stretched out his hand to stop it, calmed down his anger and said, "Now the whole Liaodong is unstable. It is easy to destroy the Gongsun family, but it will make the whole Liaodong turbulent. At that time, we may really have no way to stop the Wuhuan people's revenge."

This is indeed the case, and one-third of the people in Liaodong are homeless, so why should Zhang Yu block the Wuhuan people.

"The army is the top priority. Han Sheng, Elai, Zilong, and Ziyi, you should act separately." Zhang Yu calmed down and said to several people.

"Please command, my lord."

Zhang Yu thought for a while and said: "Han Sheng trains the cavalry that has been recruited, and evil comes to train the infantry. We must form combat power as soon as possible."

"promise."

"Zilong, Ziyi, go to other counties in Youzhou to recruit soldiers. Not only must you recruit all the soldiers, but you must also recruit 5,000 more soldiers as reserve soldiers," Zhang Yu said.

"promise."

The Gongsun family has great influence in Liaodong, but not elsewhere.

This time Zhang Yu exchanged so many people, and there are a large number of refugees in the other counties, it is not difficult to recruit soldiers.

Then Zhang Yu said: "Feng Xiao, you pay close attention to the movement of Gongsun's family, and properly clarify the rumors, let me find out their situation, and if you have the opportunity, uproot them."

"promise."

Zhang Yu finally said to Gu Yong: "Yuan Tan, your task is not light. In addition to continuing to resettle refugees, develop production, and improve administration at all levels, another important task is to establish various workshops. We brought so many talents from Kuaiji County before, and we need to make use of them."

Gu Yong thought for a while and said, "Master, it's no problem to build a workshop, but the environment in Liaodong is not good. I'm afraid we can only build it in Xiangping City."

Gu Yong was afraid that the Wuhuan people would kill them again. Once it was built outside the city, it would be destroyed in an instant.

"No, the space needed to build a workshop is too big, and it can only be turned into a small workshop if it is built in the city." Zhang Yu understood Gu Yong's concerns, so he said: "If we want to build, we will build a big one, and we will build it in the south. By the sea."

The southernmost part of the Liaodong Peninsula is the seaside, where Dalian is located in later generations. It is a very ideal place.
