Faced with these two questions from Xun Yu, Feng Yu pondered for a few breaths and said:

"Dong Zhuo is cruel, only knows how to raise soldiers, not how to comfort the people, only knows how to fight, not how to farm and sericulture. Even if he gets the land of Heluo, he will not develop much outside, because he does not understand the importance of the foundation of management. He is rampant at the moment, only because of the prestige he accumulated in the Xiliang army in the past, and this prestige is actually transported by the court's food. So..."

Xun Yu hurriedly took Feng Yu's words and said, "So sooner or later, his army was in chaos because of the collapse of the morale of the army."

On weekdays, Xun Yu also used the same question to ask those Confucian scholars in Runan, Yingchuan. The conclusions he got were the same, but the reasons he gave were all words such as "Dong Zhuo was domineering and domineering, and he was not in charge of the ruler and his subjects, so he would be punished with evil deeds".

Feng Yu believes that in real history, Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo not just for the sake of his maid Diao Chan. If Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo just as accidental, then once Dong Zhuo died, the Western Liang army would be divided. How can I solve it if Dong is no longer respected?

You should know that in the original world, Dong Zhuo was over 60 years old when he died, and he didn't know how many children he had. He had been entrusted with the emperor for three years, and actually became a warlord for nearly eight years. After being assassinated, he was unable to pass on his power.

If this matter was put on Cao Cao later, this would never have happened. This shows that there was a problem with Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army itself.

Xun Yu asked with great enthusiasm: "The second question, can you answer the Lord? Do you think the Han Dynasty can be saved? How to save it?"

Feng Yu did not answer directly, but instead asked Xun Yu a question: "Brother Wen Ruo knows how many people are there in the Thirteen Prefectures of the Han Dynasty today?"

Xun Yu replied with a brief thought: "I don't know the specific number, but in Yuzhou, I once had a household registration of one million, but now there are only one or two people, with only more than one hundred thousand people. This should be the case in the northern states. The south may be better, but not much better, and the south is not very large. So I estimate that the population is at most five million today."

Feng Yu said: "The actual situation is worse than you estimate. This population is so large that it is. No matter what kind of saint lord and wise ruler, the court cannot form actual effective rule over the local area. Therefore, the first thing to do to revive the Han Dynasty is to restore the population, at least to the scale of tens of millions. This is a necessary condition."

"But in the current situation where the king is weak and the ministers are strong, such a barren population provides protection for the Han Dynasty. Because under such population conditions, even if a hero in troubled times is, no matter how talented he is, he cannot unify the world in a short time. At most, he will be like King Wu of Zhou, and then divide the world into the world after serving on behalf of the merchants, and his name is the lord of the world. However, at present, Confucian etiquette and law, the rule of the king and his ministers are always in the world, and few princes in the world will recognize him as the emperor."

"So, to promote the Han Dynasty now, we must do two things. One is to balance the power of the princes in the world, so that we can stop the troops and stop the troops to the maximum extent, restore the people's livelihood and increase the population. The other is to enhance the strength of the Han Dynasty. Unfortunately, since Dong Zhuo entered the capital, the Han Dynasty lost its last base - the Heluo Land. So the first thing to do is to restore the foundation of the Han Dynasty. As for how to do this, you and I are both outsiders and cannot be discussed."

After hearing Feng Yu’s three major passages, Xun Yu was stunned and fell into deep thought. It was only after Feng Yu took three sips of tea that he came back from his thoughts and praised: “The Lord’s thoughts are really strange, which makes Yu feel enlightened.”

Feng Yu suddenly said with concern: "Wen Ruo has ever thought that when all the scholars in the world are worried about the internal crisis facing the Han Dynasty, the whole world may face huge external crises. The world I am talking about refers to the Xia in the Central Plains."

Xun Yu's eyes sterned and said, "June and Hou refer to Xianbei. Wuhuan and other Hu people will take advantage of the collapse of the world and have a sparse population to invade the Central Plains? However, they are also affected by the plague and their population has dropped a lot."

Feng Yu shook his head and said, "It's not just them. The real world is much bigger than what literati know."

Xun Yu nodded thoughtfully and said, "If this situation really happens, Junhou thinks how to deal with it."

"Of course, we should first unite the princes and respect the king and expel the barbarians. We just need to do the specific things, and we will talk about them when it really happens."

The two talked for a long time, and before they knew it, it was time to eat. Xun Yu obviously had no intention of giving up his heart and wanted to invite Feng Yu, and ordered his subordinates to send meals to the soldiers of Zhuyang Army who were waiting outside the city.

After drinking for three rounds, Feng Yu said to Xun Yu: "Brother Wen Ruo, there is something I don't know whether to talk about it or not."

"June just keep saying that, you and I are no longer passers-by."

"Before, brother, I said. Dong Zhuo is a person who only knows how to fight, does not know how to farm and farm, and manages the foundation. At present, all the princes will no longer pay tribute to Sili. Then when his food and grass are not enough, he will inevitably dispatch troops to rob him everywhere. Brother Wen Ruo's Yingchuan is a place of four battles, and there is no danger to defend, and he is close to Heluo Sili. Therefore, beware of the precautions early."

Xun Yu frowned slightly, put down his chopsticks, clasped his fists to Feng Yu and said, "Heroes have similar views, and Yu has already had this concern. To be honest, with the strength of the Xun family, they can't resist Dong Zhuo's tiger and wolf soldiers. So I have always advised the clansmen to move all the places to avoid disasters. But the clansmen are reluctant to leave their local foundation."

After he said this, both fell silent. After the banquet, Xun Yu sent Feng Yu to the city gate. Several large cars were waiting here.

Xun Yu pointed to the cart and said to Feng Yu: "Junhou, this is five thousand kilograms of refined iron ingots. I know that Junhou does not lack grain brocade, but only salt and iron. We don't have salt, but iron is rich. From now on, Wuyang will also provide Zhuyang with five thousand kilograms of iron regularly. Please accept it with a smile."

Feng Yu was overjoyed, but knew that there was no free lunch in the world. He bowed his hand and said to Xun Yu: "How can this work? How can you get the money without merit?"

Unexpectedly, Xun Yu suddenly bowed to Feng Yu and said, "Yu really has something to ask for from the Lord and the Lord."

"Wen Ruo, if you have something to do, you will do your best as long as you can help." Feng Yu responded.

Xun Yu had a solemn expression and said word by word:

"I will not hide it from you. Yu will leave Yingchuan soon. I will find a like-minded lord to help him support the Han Dynasty. But as Junhou said, if there will be turmoil in the future, as Yingchuan, the place of four wars, Runan will suffer war. Yu is really worried about these tribesmen who stayed in Yingchuan and Runan. Therefore, I beg Junhou to promise Yu that at that moment, please do your best to provide them with care and help."

Feng Yu replied: "Even if Wen doesn't say this, I will do my best to do this. Wen Ruo rest assured, I will say nothing. I am willing to swear with Wen Ruo. If the Xun clan members in Runan are subject to external threats such as wars in Yingchuan and the future, the Zhuyang Marquis State will definitely provide support and rescue within its capacity."

Xun Yu was overjoyed and swears with Feng Yu on the spot.

At the top of the city, Xun Yu looked at Feng Yu's team that was leaving and sighed: "It would be great if you were older."
