Chapter 284: Chaos (I)

A drizzle drizzled in Zhangye for ten days.

With the watering of spring rain, the green grass grows particularly lushly and is full of vitality.

A team of cavalry flew past like lightning, causing the cattle and sheep that were gnawing on the grass to panic for a while and scattered.

The shepherds wanted to scold, but when they saw clearly the words on the flag floating in the wind, they all closed their mouths.

There is a big word "Lu" written on the big banner. Zhangye Jiuquan and Dunhuang, and even the newly occupied Juyan vassal state, all the generals will show their official positions on the banners, but this one is the only one.

Lu Zhi Lu Zigan, this person, does not need any official embellishment, is enough to shock the Western Regions.

Since I arrived in Zhangye, I have calculated it for almost three years.

Lu Zhi seemed to have become different. It was completely different from the feeling of being depressed when he was in Luoyang. Here he found what he most longed for in his life, which was to expand territory and re-establish the mighty and majestic style of the Han army.

Since the first year of Chuping, Lu Zhi captured Longle and then his troops left Yumen Pass.

In the second year of Chuping, he led 3,000 troops to occupy Yiwu, recaptured the Yihe Duwei City built as early as the early Eastern Han Dynasty, and forced the two countries to transfer letters to surrender on the northern foot of the Northern Tianshan Mountains, and then mobilized the troops and horses to look back at the rear of the Cheshi Division.

At the same time, the front of the Cheshi on the southern foot of the North Tianshan Mountains was also panicked and there was no peace all day long.

The fifty countries in the Western Regions vary in size, such as the front of Cheshi, which was called Juguo, which is somewhat similar to the early Greek city-states.

The population is only 30,000 to 40,000 people in total. Even if there are five or one, Lu Zhi can be eliminated in an instant.

Except for the strong countries such as Dayuan Wusun, Wuge Shanli, and Dayuezhi, the other countries in the Western Regions were not strong enough. Ban Chao could pacify Shanshan with thirty-six cavalry, which was enough to show that their combat effectiveness was not strong. The countries in the Western Regions bowed down when the Han Dynasty was strong. Once the Han Dynasty had no time to take care of them, they immediately broke free from the control of the Han Dynasty and proclaimed themselves as kings at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains. They lived a free and easy life.

Lu Zhi was not in a hurry to station the troops, but continued to migrate to the refugees who moved to Zhangye in Yihe Duwei City.

With the chaos in Kanto, especially in Yuzhou, countless refugees arrived in Zhangye one after another under the guidance of Huang Shao. This caused the population of the three counties of Zhangye to soar, and 1.3 million refugees had gathered. Although there were 600,000 hectares of fertile land, it was obviously not enough to accommodate so many people, so they moved inland to the Western Regions in batches.

Yihe Duwei City accepted 80,000 people, and Puli moved two branches to live in the country, accepting 70,000 to 80,000.

In recent years, Zhangye has had a bumper harvest and there is no shortage of food. Lu Zhi did not rush to expand, but quickly reclaimed fertile land at the foot of the Beitian Mountains. In half a year, the CCP was willing to produce 320,000 hectares of fertile land, and then was quickly contracted by 400,000 refugees.

On the issue of land, Dong Chu did not make any useful suggestions.

In fact, everyone knows that Zhangye has 600,000 hectares of land and the newly reclaimed 320,000 hectares of land are all owned by Dong Qi. It is a pity that it is abandoned; but it is obviously not in line with the interests of everyone, including Lu Zhi. Moreover, it is difficult to guarantee that there are lazy people among the refugees who are lazy to distribute it, but it is a waste.

At this time, Zang Ba, who came to Zhangye with Lu Zhi, came up with a solution.

That is to contract out, refugees can cultivate in the fields, but the ownership of the land is in the hands of Dong Qi.

According to the land cultivated by each person or every family, appropriate grain will be paid for the use of the land during the bumper harvest. If it cannot be paid on time, I am sorry, not only will the land not be obtained in the second year, but I will also be punished. They will be escorted to Longle to do hard work, or they will be sent to the military camp to guard the border.

This regulation has greatly mobilized the enthusiasm of refugees.

The land use fee is not too high. If you work hard for a while, you may be able to save some property.

Perhaps even Zang Ba himself did not expect that such a small suggestion actually took a big step.

However, this system was officially implemented at the beginning of the year, how effective is... Haha, let's wait and see.

Lu Zhi was very happy in Yihe Duwei City, and at the same time accelerated the annexation of the territory of the Cheshiqian Kingdom. According to his calculations, by the beginning of next year, he might be able to station troops in the royal city of the Cheshiqian Kingdom and Jiaohe City.

Just when he was busy with these things, Juyancheng recalled him back to Zhangye with a letter.

The letter did not say what was going on, but only said that there was a big deal to discuss. Please ask Mr. Lu to return to Yancheng to discuss it immediately.

The letter was written by Jia Xu. Lu Zhi knew that it must be very serious if Jia Xu called it a major event.

So he handed over Yihe Duwei City to Zang Ba, and then took his two newly acquired students, He Qi and Hao Zhao, to Juyancheng at night.

Along the way, I was always working hard.

After Lu Zhi arrived at the Juyancheng Prefecture Office, he jumped off his war horse and rushed into the prefecture office with great strides.

"Wenhe, what happened? Let me hurry up along the way... I'll give me a pot of wine first."

This wine is a specialty of the Western Regions. It was sent to the Central Plains as a tribute as a tribute as a gift.

However, in the Western Regions, wine is not very precious. Lu Zhi was not used to the taste of the wine at first, but slowly, he tasted it. This wine seems to be very good for the body. Over the years, the dizziness that Lu Zhi suffered in his early years has gradually disappeared, his spirits have become better and better, and it is also quite helpful for sleep.

Jia Xu wore a blue shirt and smiled calmly.

"Mr. Lu is calm and please wait for a moment, please wait for the first time... Uncle Zhi has already rushed back from Jiluo Mountain, and Huang Shao is here soon."

Lu Zhi felt a little nervous.

Chen Daojiuzhai, who was on the Jiluo Mountain, resisted the Northern Huns' advance southward, and was also responsible for the task of blocking the Southern Huns' tribe.

Why is he back too?

Huang Shao has also been in poor health in recent years, so most of the time he lives in Dichi. On the one hand, he is responsible for the local military farming and military farming. On the other hand, he is because the environment in Dichi is good and the seasons are like spring, which is suitable for his physical care.

Huang Shao, Chen Dao!

Including Jia Xu, these are the three major leaders who Dong Qi stayed in Zhangye.

Lu Zhi's status was transcendent and he would not interfere in Zhangye's affairs most of the time, but was only responsible for the expansion of the Western Regions.

But everyone knows that this is an important and important person.

"Wenhe, what happened?"

Lu Zhi's heart suddenly rose and he looked at Jia Xu nervously. He really couldn't think of what would happen, mainly because Dong Qi won a great victory in Shuofang earlier, and the military farming in Luoyang was also going smoothly, and the Han Dynasty was constantly recovering its vitality.

Jia Xu seemed very hesitant, pondered for a moment, picked up a letter from the table and handed it to Lu Zhi.

"What's this?"

"The news I just got, the Grand Tutor..."

"What's wrong with Dong Zhuo?"

Lu Zhi did not have any position as the Grand Tutor of Dong Zhuo, and he did not even agree with the Han Emperor Liu Xie established by Dong Zhuo.

In Lu Zhi's view, Dong Zhuo's prestige is not enough to do such a thing.

If Dong Zhuo had been smarter at that time, he would not have caused such a big deal if he had let Cai Yong or Liu Hong, even if he were Huang Wan and Yang Biao, he would not have caused such a big deal. Dong Zhuo was too conceited, and Lu Zhi was very dissatisfied at this point.

But what's the use of his dissatisfaction?

The Han Emperor had already been abolished, and the new imperial association had already sat on the throne.

If it is deposed again, the dignity of the Han Dynasty will be gone.

Of course, Lu Zhi was also very dissatisfied with Yuan Wei and others. Since the facts have been caused, why are you still making trouble?

Could it be that for the sake of your scholars and for the sake of your scholars, you can ignore the safety of the Han Dynasty at all? The Han Dynasty needs to rest and recuperate and have a stable environment. The more noisy you make, the more dangerous it is.

On this point, Lu Zhi was very satisfied with Dong Zhuo's actions later.

He was able to put down his airs, even if he was wearing shackles to slander Li Ying and others, which was enough to show Dong Zhuo's attitude.

Lu Zhi is not a party member, and he is 23 years younger than Li Ying. Although he has not been under Li Ying's disciple, he has received Li Ying's support and guidance. So from this matter, Dong Zhuo did a beautiful job and comforted Lu Zhi who was very excited at the time.

The failure of the Kanto Alliance's attack, to a certain extent, Dong Zhuo inspired the dignity of the Han Dynasty.

Later, Dong Qi's three strategies of advection can be regarded as a masterpiece. It not only stabilized the Luoyang area, but also gave Zhangye some reference to it to a large extent. The release of the recruitment order also gave Lu Zhi a hope for the rise of the Han Dynasty.

However, his recognition of Dong Chi does not mean that he recognizes Dong Zhuo.

Therefore, in terms of name, he still called him directly, unlike Jia Xu, who called Dong Zhuo the Grand Tutor.

Jia Xu did not answer, but just pushed the letter to Lu Zhi.

Lu Zhi opened his eyes and looked at him. His rosy face suddenly turned pale and there was no blood.

"Corrupt scholars should be killed, and the clear streams should be killed in the country... These are all rioters and traitors, they should be killed, they should be killed!"

Dong Zhuo, actually died!

No matter how Dong Zhuo was born or what Dong Zhuo had done, overall, he has been working hard for the Han Dynasty.

But when I looked at the famous scholars in the clear stream, they were still making trouble.

"The Grand Tutor..."

At this moment, Lu Zhi changed his name to Dong Zhuo. He tried hard to calm down his emotions and said softly: "Wenhe, where is Xiping now?"

“No news has come.”

"How did this happen? Why didn't we get any news?"

Jia Xu took a strong breath, "Zheng Tai did it very secretly before, and I didn't see any flaws. In the past year, the princes of Kanto performed very normally, and they fought for their own territory, and there were no abnormal actions. If it weren't for the abnormal mobilization of Zhang Miao and Ma Teng's troops and horses that attracted my attention earlier, it would have been difficult to detect."

Jia Xu said one less thing!

He had noticed that Ma Teng mobilized his troops, but Dong Qi had sent him a message earlier, asking him to pay attention, that Ma Teng would attack Zhangye with the order. Dong Qi had good intentions, but it was this good intention that made Jia Xu feel illusioned.

Ma Teng's troops were mobilized just to conceal his purpose of attacking Zhangye.

Until later, when Jia Xu discovered that Ma Teng's troops were moving towards An Ding and Zhang Miao's troops were heading towards Longxi, Jia Xu realized that the situation was not good. He immediately sent a detailed work, but before the detailed work could be paid back, news came from Luoyang.

This is thanks to Dong Long. When Jia Xu learned that Dong Long had presided over the gangster in Luoyang, he immediately ordered him to try to contact his confidant and pay close attention to Luoyang's every move. Therefore, after the accident in Luoyang, Jia Xu could find out quickly.

At noon, Chen Dao and Huang Shao arrived in Juyancheng.

Both of them were in a mess, but before they could sit firmly, they heard about Dong Zhuo's murder.

Huang Shao shivered and said, "Where is the lord? What is the situation of the lord?"
