The Linyu County Town is small in area and has a population of about 20,000.

The population distribution of the five counties in western Liaoning is very uneven. Except for the county where the population of Yangle is more than 30,000, among the other four counties, only Feiru and Linyu have a population of about 20,000. For example, the two counties such as Bintu and Tuhe, the populations all add up to less than 20,000.

In addition, Guzhu City has a population of 1,300 households, about 7,000.

This is also the total population of Liaoxi County...

Western Liaoning is large and has a fertile land of thousands of miles. However, due to climate and environment, the entire Liaoxi County looks very desolate.

In addition, the strong strength of foreign races such as Xianbei and Wuhuan also made it difficult for western Liaoning to develop.

Liucheng, under the jurisdiction of western Liaoning, gathered more than 100,000 Wuhuan people, and was the largest force in western Liaoning.

After the death of Qiu Liju, the former master of Wuhuan, passed the position of Wuhuan to his consul Tadun. This Tadun was superior to his martial arts and was responsible for the three tribes of Wuhuan in western Liaoning, and his reputation was extraordinary. At the beginning of Jian'an, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan were in a stalemate, so Tadun took the opportunity to send envoys to seek marriage with Yuan Shao, and then sent troops to attack Gongsun Zan. The reason why he wanted to help Yuan Shao was because Gongsun Zan was extremely tough in Wuhuan and Xianbei when he was in Youzhou, which made Wuhuan quite suppressed. After joining forces with Yuan Shao, he defeated Gongsun Zan, and Tadun won the title of Da Shanyu and obtained the seal and ribbon granted by Yuan Shao. Therefore, his reputation and strength in western Liaoning suddenly surpassed others.

Qiu Liju also has a son named Lou Ban.

At that time, before Qiu Liju died, because Lou Ban was still young, he passed the position of Lord Wuhuan to Tadun.

But now that Lou Ban has grown up, Tadun's reputation has become increasingly high. It has become extremely difficult for Lou Ban to seize the position of Lord Wuwan from Tadun. Fortunately, Qiu Li is under his command and has a group of close friends. Among them, Su Puyan and Nanlou, who are entrenched in the Liaodong vassal state, supported Lou Ban and formed a series of their own vassal states in Liaodong. Although Su Puyan and Nanlou surrendered to Tadun on the surface, everyone knows that Su Puyan and Nanlou are loyal to Lou Ban, and they can be regarded as having a disagreement with Tadun and are not very harmonious.

"It's just that, Tadun's total of three works, and the support of Khan Lu King Wuyan.

Na Wuyan led more than 800 troops. There were tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, with a population of nearly 100,000. It was also a force within the jurisdiction of western Liaoning, second only to Tadun. Although Su Puyan and Nanlou occupied the vassal states in Liaodong, they were restrained by all parties and were difficult to confront Tadun."

Mi Fang talked freely and introduced the situation in the entire western Liaoning to Liu Chuang in detail.

Since he was ordered to come to western Liaoning in the second year of Jian'an, he quickly gained a foothold in Guzhu City.

With the gold, silver and wealth in his hands, he obtained a large amount of land.

In Mi Fang's own words, he had nearly 60% of the land in Guzhu City and quickly established prestige in western Liaoning.

With the courage of Pei Wei Changsheng and others, and the generous and versatile, he has a good reputation in the local area. It is precisely for this reason that he can be regarded as a wise understanding of the situation in western Liaoning and even the four counties and one vassal state in the entire Liaodong...

If Mi Fang had not gained a firm foothold in Guzhu City, Liu Chuang would not have been able to gain a foothold in Linyu so quickly.

Even after Zhang Liao seized Feiru and occupied Lu Longsai, it was only after Mi Fang spent a lot of money to calm the matter down. Now that the new Liaoxi prefect Chunyu Qiong has not taken office, the Liaoxi officials are still not sure about the situation because they are in Yangle County outside the pass. It can be said that Mi Fang made the first contribution to Liu Chuang's successful migration this time, allowing Liu Chuang to successfully capture the two counties within the pass and take the initiative. Otherwise, Liu Chuang would be hindered even in the Linyu region.

"In this way, Yuan Benchu ​​doesn't seem to be smart in controlling the four counties in Liaodong."

Mi Fang said: "The four counties in Liaodong are isolated outside and have never been valued by Yuan Shao... There is Gongsun in Liaodong, while Xuantu County and Lelang County have been in chaos due to the attacks of Goguryeo. As for western Liaoning, it is the foundation of Wuwan. In addition, Yuan Shao and Tadun have been indulged in Tadun, so he is often indulged in Tadun, causing him to rage western Liaoning. Including the vassal states in Liaodong, Yuan Shao has never been strong in control of it."

Speaking of this, Mi Fang suddenly remembered something.

"Since Liu Yu's death, Liaoxi has never established a prefect.

Previously, Yuan Shao had sent Liu He, the son of Liu Yu, to be the prefect of Liaoxi, but Liu He had never controlled western Liaoxi, and had never even come to western Liaoxi.

If the young master hadn't moved to western Liaoning this time, Yuan Shao might have forgotten this matter... and he hurriedly ordered Chunyu Qiong to serve as the prefect of western Liaoning. However, according to my inquiry, Chunyu Qiong was indeed a fool even though he was the eighth lieutenant of the Xiyuan Garden. If he hadn't had his deep friendship with Yuan Shao, he would have probably not be able to be the current position. Yuan Shao appointed him as the prefect of western Liaoning in March, but it has been May and he has not appeared yet."

Chunyu Qiong?

Liu Chuang scoffed at him, revealing a disdain.

He is no stranger to this name.

This guy was once the Shangguan of Xiahou Lan, but he was jealous of the virtuous and capable, and liked to seize the credit of his subordinates and was narrow-minded.

Although Liu Chuang rebuked Xiahou Lan at the beginning, to be honest, he didn't like Chunyu Qiong. The reason? There are records about Chunyu Qiong in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the Three Kingdoms. When this guy was stationed in Wuchao, he was greedy for alcohol and misleading things, and he was surprised by Cao Cao's attack on Wuchao.

Liu Chuang still remembers the TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Chunyu Qiong was covered in fat and drunk!

No, if Chunyu Qiong became the prefect of western Liaoning, who would guard Wuchao during the Battle of Guandu?

If Cao Cao could not attack Wuchao unexpectedly, wouldn’t it mean that there would be variables in the Battle of Guandu?

Thinking of this, Liu Chuang's face suddenly became gloomy and he sat upright on the couch and pondered... It is probably difficult for Yuan Shao to find a second person under his tent for a top-notch like Chunyu Qiong. If not, Chunyu Qiong must not be allowed to stay in western Liaoning, but it is better to let him guard Wuchao.

"Meng Yan?"

"ah……"

Seeing that Liu Chuang's face was gloomy, Lu Bu couldn't help but call.

Liu Chuang then woke up and saw that everyone was looking at him. He couldn't help but blush and looked embarrassed.

"I just remembered something, so I was a little lost. Please forgive me."

After saying that, he looked at Mi Fang, "Zi Fang. What did you say just now?"

When everyone saw Liu Chuang's embarrassment, they couldn't help laughing.

Mi Fang didn't care. On the contrary, his respect for Liu Chuang has become stronger and stronger since Liu Chuang broke into Xudu alone. Mi Fang was not particularly happy when Liu Chuang arranged for him to come to western Liaoning. In his impression, Liu Chuang sent him to the bitter and cold land in western Liaoning, which was like exile. But as he gained a foothold in western Liaoning, his ideas changed. Especially when Liu Chuang's prophecy gradually evolved into facts, Mi Fang became more and more respectful to Liu Chuang. It can be said that since he came to western Liaoning, all the changes have been evolved into facts according to Liu Chuang's deduction. This also shows Liu Chuang's forward-looking nature, and further shows that Liu Chuang's vision is unusual.

Thinking about it now, it is indeed a good thing for my younger sister to marry Liu Chuang.

Although Liu Chuang still has no stable foundation, he could predict that Liu Chuang will definitely dominate Liaodong in the future...

This is the real prince!

"Lord, I just said that there is a wise man in Guzhu City, which can be of great use."

"who!"

"I don't know the lord, have you heard of Yan Rou's name?"

"Yan Rou?"

When Liu Chuang heard this name, he was stunned. He felt that the name sounded very familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.

"Yan Rou's courtesy name is Bozheng, and he was originally from Guangyang County.

This man was captured by Wuwan and Xianbei people when he was young, but he was very trusted by Wuwan Xianbei... And this man was loyal to the Han Dynasty! After Gongsun Zan killed Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou, Yan Rou colluded with the Xianbei and fought against Gongsun Zan. Later, Gongsun Zan was trapped in Yijing. Yuan Shao originally planned to recruit this man, but he refused. He took his younger brother away from Guangyang County and settled in Guzhu City. This man was brave and strategic... Moreover, he was good at prestigious horses, and was more proficient in dialects of the Xianbei Wuwan and even Goguryeo and Fuyu Kingdom. He was very talented.

After I gained a foothold in Guzhu City, I often interacted with him.

I still remember that he said to me again: Although I don’t know where you came from, I have something to remind you: First, we should plan the vassal state of Liaodong. Then, we should be able to get the four counties of Liaodong and establish ourselves in Liaodong."

Liu Chuang heard this and was shocked.

Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi, Bu Zhi and others also changed their faces.

"That's the boy, you must have been frightened at that time."

Xun Kuang couldn't help laughing, which made the rest of them laugh.

Everyone knows that Mi Fang is timid!

Mi Fang disagreed, "Yuan Yin, don't make fun of me. If it were you, someone would be seeing through the intention, you might feel nervous... You don't know how scared I was at that time, and even wanted Changsheng to fight Pei Wei. But later I thought again, since he made it clear, it means that he had no malice. Instead of having evil with him, it would be better to have more friends. In the past two years, I have had him give me a lot of advice."

Even Mi Zhu was surprised when he said this.

Who are your own brothers?

Mi Zhu actually knew very well in his heart.

Mi Fang is a bit of a playboy and even extremely profitable. But in his heart, he has a sense of arrogance and can ask others for advice in a low voice, which means that this person has real talent and knowledge. For a moment, not to mention Mi Zhu, others became interested in Yan Rou.

Liu Chuang sat aside, silent.

Yan Rou...

I remembered it!

This person did not appear in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but there are indeed relevant records in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. This person surrendered to Cao Cao after the Battle of Guandu and made great contributions to Cao Cao's attack on Wuhuan. Cao Cao treated him like his son and ordered him to stay in the north. Later, he took over as the captain of Huwuwan, commanding the troops of Youzhou and fighting Wuhuan... After Cao Pi ascended the throne, Yan Rou was appointed as the general of Du Liao.

Is Yan Rou really loyal to the Han Dynasty?

Liu Chuang couldn't say... because later, he defected to Cao Cao.

But one thing is that Liu Chuang appreciates this person very much, that is, his attitude towards foreign races is very tough.

Perhaps he surrendered to Cao Cao later because he saw clearly that the Han Dynasty was in a desperate situation. He was a smart man and very good at adapting. Otherwise, how could he become a friend of the Xianbei people after being captured by the Xianbei people? Since the Han Dynasty was in a desperate situation, it was reasonable for him to choose another wise ruler. But at present, Yan Rou still has confidence in the Han Dynasty and has not yet lost the slightest expectation for the revival of the Han Dynasty.

Are there vassal states in Liaodong?

Liu Chuang suddenly turned his head and said in a deep voice: "Kong Ming."

"Here!"

"I will leave this matter to you."

Zhuge Liang was stunned for the first time, and then he understood what Liu Chuang meant, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

Of course he knew what Liu Chuang asked him to plan... The brother-in-law of the Liaodong vassal state had adopted Yan Rou's suggestion and was determined to take action against the Liaodong vassal state.

"Zhongda!"

"Here!"

Liu Chuang said in a deep voice: "You are the chief clerk of Liaodong, and you must also have a better understanding of Liaodong.

If you want to understand Liaodong, you cannot ignore the customs and customs of Liaodong. You need some people familiar with the local situation to help you act.

You will go to Guzhu City tomorrow and try Yan Rou first.

But don’t alert the enemy. If this person is useful, tell me immediately and don’t neglect it.”

"Yi. Understand."

Sima Yi bowed to take the order and retreated to his original place.

"Long article."
