In December, the Guanzhong area is experiencing heavy snowfall.
The transaction with Jingzhou has been completed, and all ten million grains and grains have been moved into Wuguan.
At this time, it was being transported to Chang'an day and night.
With this huge amount of food and grass, the people in Guanzhong will have no problem with food and clothing.
After the Yizhou cavalry defeated the Xiongnu in Hedong, they not only frightened some small tribes such as Qiang and Di living in various parts of Guanzhong, but also directly changed the pattern of Guanzhong.
Last year, 400,000 Qiang elites were put to death and hundreds of thousands of Qiang people were wiped out, which has frightened the foreigners living in the Guanzhong area.
This year, all 200,000 Xianbei troops died in Guanzhong, and 100,000 more were buried alive, leaving these small tribes with liver and gallbladder split.
Once Liu Zhang wanted to deal with them, these small tribes were unable to resist and could only be massacred by the Yizhou Army!
This is not the worst!
Even without Liu Zhang's targeting, these small tribes were on the verge of destruction.
Guanzhong has been experiencing wars for years, not only the Han people have suffered, but also these foreign races!
Normally, forget it, you can barely survive.
When winter comes, their good days are finally over!
The problem of food and clothing cannot be solved at all, and we can only watch the tribesmen continue to freeze to death and starve to death.
This time the Xiongnu suffered a disastrous defeat in Hedong, but they did a great favor to the Qiang and Di tribes in the counties in Guanzhong.
surrender!
Take the initiative to surrender to Liu Zhang!
After the surrender, there was no longer a threat from the Yizhou Army, and Liu Zhang could be asked to help solve the problem of food and clothing.
This is definitely killing two birds with one stone!
Soon a tribe emerged that surrendered its entire clan.
Then one after another, the alien tribes surrendered with the whole tribe.
Without Cai Mao's help, it would have been difficult for Liu Zhang to handle it.
Now that he has 10 million stones of food and grass, Liu Zhang has no pressure at all on food and grass, and he accepts everything according to the order!
In this way, in just one month, more than 100,000 Qiang and Di people came to join them.
As time goes by, the coldness becomes more and more obvious.
After several heavy snowfalls, the temperature quickly dropped to freezing point, and even the water of the Wei River froze.
In this cold time, immigration will bring serious casualties to the people.
Therefore, three days ago, Liu Zhang officially ordered the suspension of immigration work.
This also indicates that the migration of people has come to an end for the time being.
Immigration will not restart until spring next year.
Fortunately, the results during this period were astonishing. The relocation results in Hanzhong, Nanyang, Hedong, and Hongnong were quite fruitful.
At present, the number of people in Guanzhong has skyrocketed to more than 600,000!
Adding in the 100,000 foreigners who surrendered, the population of the three counties in Guanzhong skyrocketed to 800,000!
Although the 800,000 people were divided among the 38 counties, they were still somewhat sparse.
But Liu Zhang was already very satisfied.
At least Chang'an City is full of life, and there are already an endless stream of people on the streets.
The population that has not yet migrated has been counted, and at least 600,000 people will migrate back next year!
By then, Guanzhong’s rejuvenation will have taken a giant step further!
Ten miles away from Chang'an City, Liu Zhang was standing on the official road facing the snowflakes.
Although many civil and military officials advised Liu Zhang not to leave the city, he still did not hinder his determination to leave the city.
Someone is coming from Chengdu.
Liu Zhang's three wives, five children, counselor Jia Xu and a group of officials!
On the eighth day of next month, Liu Zhang will formally establish the country and proclaim himself a duke.
As the wife and son of Duke Qin, it was natural for him to visit the capital in person.
As a minister of the elders, Jia Xu, including many talented people from Yizhou, were all highly used by Liu Zhang.
"coming!"
I don't know who made the soft call, which immediately shocked Liu Zhang.
I saw a fleet of vehicles approaching faintly ahead.
There are many soldiers and horses guarding both sides, and it is definitely not a vehicle for ordinary people.
Within the entire three states of Yongliang and Yizhou, whoever has such an honor must have something to do with Liu Zhang.
"finally come!"
Liu Zhang murmured and became excited in his heart.
It was the seventh year of Jian'an in less than a month since he led the troops on the expedition in the fifth year of Jian'an!
In a flash, I haven’t seen my beloved wife and children for nearly two years!
Liu Zhang sometimes couldn't help but wonder, from ancient times to the present, how many princes have been able to abandon their families and careers like him?
Then came the Yizhou Biejia Jiaxu.
Over the years, Jia Xu worked diligently for his great cause, always allowing him to fight on the front without any worries.
Without Jia Xu, today would not be possible.
Also coming together were Yang Hong, He Zong and others.
The joint efforts of these talents allowed Liu Zhang to have a stable rear area.
Not long after, the carriage arrived and three stunning women stepped out eagerly.
"Yun'er, Yan'er, Ran'er!"
Liu Zhang was so surprised that he quickly ran over and took the three of them into his arms.
The three women's faces turned red. They didn't expect Liu Zhang to call them that way in public.
However, feeling Liu Zhang's warmth, the three women couldn't help but squirm in Liu Zhang's arms.
"Husband!"
After nearly two years, the couple's feelings of longing for each other surged out.
There were too many people around and it was freezing cold, so Liu Zhang could only reluctantly let go of the three women.
Looking at the stunning face in front of him and smelling the refreshing body fragrance, Liu Zhang fell into intoxication for a while.
Although he has watched it for many years, Liu Zhang still felt amazed when we saw him again this time!
No wonder they say distance creates beauty!
This time, Liu Zhang finally understood everything.
"I have been thinking about my husband day and night, and finally the three ladies are here!"
The three girls' faces turned red, and their hearts felt strangely sweet.
They knew very well what kind of life Liu Zhang had spent outside in the past two years.
The people of Xiliang are fierce, the soldiers are brave, Ma Teng and Han Sui have dominated the northwest for a long time!
Foreign ethnic groups such as Qiang, Hu, and Xianbei are names that scare the Han people even more!
Every time they thought of Liu Zhang's life-and-death struggle with such a powerful enemy, their wives Liu Yun, Cai Yan, and Wu Ran were frightened.
This is because Jia Xu hid a lot from them, and did not tell the three of them that Liu Zhang was trapped in the city by hundreds of thousands of Qiang people, and was surrounded by more than 100,000 Xianbei people!
"Father!"
Suddenly, a chorus of shouts came from the carriage, and then three little heads appeared.
"Xun'er, Chan'er, Xin'er!"
After two years of not seeing each other, the three little guys have grown a lot taller!
Liu Zhang quickly waved his hand to signal them not to come down.
"Stay well in the car and wait until we return to Chang'an!"
"Yun'er, Yan'er, Yu'er, you guys should go back to the car first!"
The weather was so cold that Liu Zhang's strong physique felt extremely uncomfortable from the cold, let alone these weak women.
The three girls were very well-behaved. They nodded and quickly returned to the car.
They knew that Liu Zhang had other people to meet, so they did not ask Liu Zhang to ride with them.
In fact, Liu Zhang really wanted to ride in the carriage of Liu Yun and the others. He also had two sons and daughters in the carriage whom he had never met before!
But it was no longer possible. He saw a figure walking down.
