Youzhou Mansion is becoming more and more lively.

Aspiring young people in the world who pursue a higher level of strength all come to the north to make a living.

At the same time, several states to the south of Youzhou were plunged into fire and water at the same time. More and more refugees were displaced in the war. In order to escape the war, they went north to Youzhou and settled in Youzhou Prefecture.

Cao Su established strategies such as "relief for work" and "reinnovation of urban centers" to guide a large number of refugees to build their homes by contributing their own efforts.

This not only solves part of the labor problem, but also allows the newly arrived refugees to more quickly identify with Youzhou Prefecture and the home they built with their own hands.

This project was so huge that in the later stages of its construction, the original southern city wall of Youzhou Prefecture was in vain.

As the moat was filled in, the entire Youzhou Prefecture began to officially expand southward.

The city itself, which was extremely huge, has been further expanded.

Both inside and outside the city of Youzhou Prefecture were particularly lively, turning into a huge construction site.

Three months later.......

Bad news came from the Capital of Gods. Tao Mingwen defeated the Forbidden Army coalition led by Yan Da on the bank of Luoshui River.

The "Great General Soaring to the Sky" crossed the Luoshui River for the third time and was about to enter the realm of the divine capital.

This is the strongest battle since Tao Mingwen started his army.

Yan Da herself was the most powerful clan member of the Empress Dowager Yan, but now she failed to live up to the expectations of the Empress Dowager. After a stalemate with Tao Mingwen on the bank of Luoshui River for a period of time, she was finally defeated by Tao Mingwen.

By the end of the battle, Tao Mingwen's army had gradually gotten rid of the appearance of the early refugee army.

However, Yan Da never paid much attention to Tao Mingwen, nor did he understand the toughness of the northwest man in the wilderness.

On the banks of the Luoshui River, Tao Mingwen's 100,000 troops came out and defeated Yan Da's army.

At this point, there is no large army available in the entire city of God, and only a handful of Imperial Army and Yulin Army are left to protect the city of God.

Tao Mingwen knew very well the importance of military strength and speed, so he raised his troops to attack the divine capital at starry night.

The city of God is in crisis, and many princes and nobles will be frightened out of their courage.

Overnight, hundreds of thousands of refugees fled the city of Shen.

That month, General Yang Ming proposed to mobilize all the armies outside the Pass to support the king.

At present, Shendu is facing the biggest external crisis in its history. But at this time, the Taiwei, the General, and the Right Prime Minister are still not on the same line. The General’s proposal was rejected by the Right Prime Minister, who insisted that with the high power of Shendu,

The thick walls will definitely be able to stop the bandit army, but no matter what happens, there are still many royal families guarding the city of God, and there are Taoist palaces to rely on, so how can we easily admit defeat?

Tao Mingwen proclaimed himself the "King of Liang". After crossing the Luoshui River, the bandit army swept through the Shendu area.

At the same time, Chen Kaidao of Jizhou and Fu Tianyou of Guangzhou also launched a great momentum. Chen Kaidao conquered Baidi Pass in Jizhou and conquered the counties of Guangchuan, known as the "King of Guangchuan", while Fu Tianyou occupied Shanyang of Guangzhou.

Zhucheng called himself "King of Shanyang".

These thieves and bandits declared themselves kings one after another.

These are still relatively large "thieves". Of course, in the eyes of many poor people, this second batch of "thieves" can also be called "rebels."

After experiencing the Wanping Rebellion, the "thieves and bandits" that have emerged now are essentially very different from the previous Wanping Army.

For example, the "religious color" of the Wanping Army is not so strong in the new batch of "thieves and bandits", and the classes that have risen up are mostly the "landlord class". To be precise, they are based on the relationship between the "landlords and farmers" class.

Some people are even local gentry and tycoons, and have a certain social reputation.

In their mouths, the rebel army calls itself "the rebel army".

The so-called "proclaimed king" can also be regarded as a self-proclaimed "prestige person" in the world.

This year was the third year of Xuanhe, and hundreds of rebel armies, large and small, arose in various states.

Even the gods were unable to protect themselves. From south to north, the whole world was plunged into turbulent war.

In other words, Youzhou is slightly better with Cao Su in charge.

But there was also turmoil within Youzhou, but Cao Su discovered it in the bud earlier and eliminated it all.

November of the third year of Xuanhe.

A dozen rebel armies in Yuzhou formed a coalition and attacked Longbei City, a large city in Yuzhou. Longbei was one of the major cities in Yuzhou. The rebels again attacked Longbei City and killed the imperial general Shang Yan. They then opened warehouses to help the hungry people and laid the foundation for the victory.

This laid the foundation for the victory of the rebel forces in the Central Plains region.

The world was in turmoil and the city of gods was in crisis. Throughout the three years of Xuanhe, especially in the second half of the year, the entire Qianyuan territory was in flames of war.

The territory of thousands of miles is full of rebel armies surrounded by flames of war. It is no longer clear how many of them are rebels and how many were originally "officials". Seeing the strength of the insurgent army, they took off their official skin and became the insurgent army.

Compared with the Wanping Army in previous years, this uprising across the territory is even more difficult to suppress.

People in the Qianyuan Dynasty were in a state of flux. They were suppressing bandits and suppressing bandits. If the people who suppressed bandits were gone, what else could be used to suppress bandits?

----------------------------------

In the fourth year of Xuanhe's reign, the number of rebels continued to increase rapidly.

In addition to the peasant rebel army, there were also some mutiny teams.

The imperial court was unable to suppress the bandits, and Shendu was besieged by Tao Mingwen, a big bandit. Many places were cut off, and some soldiers could not get food and pay. In the process of redeploying defenses and switching to war, they directly launched a mutiny and joined the rebel army.

.

This change accelerated the collapse of the entire Qianyuan Dynasty.

At this time, Cao Su, who was far in the north, had not been able to get in touch with the imperial court.

The entire court, the emperor, the queen mother, the right minister, the lieutenants, the generals... so many complex forces gathered together that it was difficult to give him clear instructions, but he kept standing still.

Just for more than a year, he has been training elite soldiers, developing farming and mulberry trade, and continuously expanding Youzhou Prefecture.

The planned area of ​​the new city outside Youzhou Prefecture exceeds 100,000 acres, which is equivalent to recreating the ancient Chang'an of the previous life.

However, Cao Su could just use this to absorb the steady stream of refugees from the south. The population of the entire Youzhou Prefecture was rising rapidly every moment. From less than 200,000 in the first year of Xuanhe, it has now exceeded

Half a million people, and still increasing rapidly.

Cao Su estimated that the final population may exceed one million.

The concentrated population has brought commercial prosperity to Youzhou Prefecture. Coupled with the influence of the free trade zone established by Cao Su, Youzhou Prefecture is gradually becoming the most dynamic commercial capital in the north.

So a very strange phenomenon occurred.

The more prosperous other places are, the more prosperous development is in Youzhou Prefecture, and the speed of development is accelerating with the continued turmoil in other places, almost every day.

By the fifth year of Xuanhe's reign, the population of Youzhou Prefecture exceeded 800,000.

At this time, Shendu relied on its "high city walls and thick walls" and its deep foundation to finally push back Tao Mingwen's army outside Shendu City.

Rather than forcing a retreat, it is better to call it "negotiating peace."

Shendu recognized Tao Mingwen's legal activities in the Xizhou area. Tao Mingwen felt that he could not conquer Shendu, so he led his army of hundreds of thousands and left Shendu again in a mighty manner.

It left behind a devastated city and a precarious country.

In the spring of the fifth year of Xuanhe.

Just when everyone thought that God would usher in a brief period of peace.

Something happened to God...

--------------------------

North, Youzhou Prefecture.

Zhenbei General Mansion is the most majestic building in Youzhou Prefecture.

Although the door of the mansion is often open, no one dares to approach easily.

Outside the general's mansion, there are always powerful soldiers guarding it. When their eyes are scanning, ordinary people in the world will inevitably be shaken.

After careful investigation, you will find that the ordinary soldiers guarding the general's mansion are also at the same level of strength.

The ordinary soldiers in the General's Mansion are not ordinary.

They were the most elite tiger and leopard cavalry under Cao Su.

On the official road, which was wide enough for ten horses to walk together, a horse came galloping from a distance.

The cavalryman had a flag hanging on his waist and a golden token in his hand. He galloped down the long street and soon arrived outside the general's palace.

"Report——"

The soldiers guarding outside the general's mansion breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the cavalry's tokens and flags, and at the same time ordered: "Dismount!"

The cavalryman jumped off his horse and landed outside the general's mansion. Then he handed a green bamboo tube to the soldiers who came to meet him.

The soldier took the bamboo tube, turned around and walked into the gate of the general's mansion.

On the three floors inside and outside the gate of the General's Mansion, he held a green bamboo tube in both hands, and no one dared to stop him.

The journey was smooth and we soon arrived at a courtyard.
