368. The more you know about Youzhou, the more shocked Jia Xu is!
So Yuan Shao sent someone to cross the river at night, but after he got ashore, he was burned by Ju Su the next morning, which made Yuan Shao's stomach hurt.
After trying a few times, Yuan Shao suffered a lot and his morale dropped to the extreme. He had to return to Xingyang in shame to see if there was any good news from others. When everyone gathered to see, they were all crying.
Finally, Li Ru suggested that he would take a break for a while, it was almost October, and the weather was getting colder. When the Yellow River freezes, the Yellow River will no longer exist, and the army will be able to kill directly.
When everyone heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up and they all said that this idea was reliable. Then the coalition forces began to repair it and wait for winter.
The coalition forces were resting and Liu Zhe received the news. After seeing it, he smiled and put it aside without caring.
The people of the coalition forces thought that it was cold and the Yellow River freezing was a good thing for them, but they didn't know that it was also a good thing for Liu Zhe and the Youzhou Army. The Yellow River blocked the coalition forces, but they didn't know that it was actually protecting them.
Liu Zhe never took the coalition forces seriously and was too lazy to pay attention to them for the time being. He had to wait until the New Year was over before talking about it. He wanted to enjoy the warm days at home.
After Jia Xu surrendered to Liu Zhe, it had been almost three months since he followed Liu Zhe back to Youzhou. In these three months, Jia Xu gradually understood Youzhou and the place where Liu Zhe ruled. The more he understood, the more shocked he was, he understood how much power Liu Zhe had mastered and how strong Liu Zhe was.
After understanding Liu Zhe's terrifying power, Jia Xu understood how lucky Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao were. Compared with Liu Zhe, their strength was just like adults and children.
If Liu Zhe really wanted to destroy them, it could be said that he would be a flip.
Liu Zhe's current rule include Youzhou, Bingzhou, Jizhou and Pingyang counties in Hedong, Henoi.
Youzhou was the place where Liu Zhe started his birth, and its wealth was far greater than other places. It can be said that it was the richest state among the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, and even Yangzhou and Jingzhou in the south could not be compared with it.
Whether it is population, wealth, or army, it crushed other states. Liu Zhe issued many policies in Youzhou that Jia Xu had heard of, and it was these policies that forged the prosperity and strength of Youzhou.
Bingzhou, when Ding Yuan died and the court was busy fighting for power and profit, Liu Zhe sent troops to occupy it and appointed his confidant Xi Zhicai to become the governor of Bingzhou.
Under the rule of Xi Zhicai, Bingzhou was not as rich as Youzhou, but it provided Liu Zhe with a steady stream of military resources. Bingzhou was bitter and cold, and the environment was even worse than Youzhou. The people were tough by nature and were the best material for joining the army.
In fact, the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry is also one of the world's famous powerful troops. If Ding Yuan hadn't been careless, Dong Zhuo might have been beaten back to the northwest to play with sand.
The three counties of Sili and Jizhou were places under Liu Zhexin's rule. Nothing was seen for the time being, but Jia Xu knew that these places had great potential.
Sili County and Dong Zhuo moved the capital, which harmed Yin and Hongnong County, Henan Province. The three parts of Hedong County, Pingyang County, Hedong County, across the Yellow River were not affected. Instead, many people fled to these three places, with a large population.
Needless to say, Jizhou was the governor of Jizhou. When Liu Yu was the governor of Jizhou, Jizhou and Youzhou had a good relationship with each other and wore a pair of pants. Liu Zhe took over Jizhou and would not be resisted, but the people would be sincerely supported.
Liu Yu governed Jizhou and advocated reducing taxes and scattering. Under Liu Yu's governance, Jizhou had weak military strength, but the population of the people increased rapidly, and the wealth contained in the people was huge. Once the Youzhou model was implemented in Jizhou, Jizhou's strength would surpass Bingzhou and rank behind Youzhou.
Jia Xu even speculated that Liu Yu and Yuan Shao had a grudge, Yuan Shao attacked Jizhou, and Liu Yu died. This series of plans were planned by Liu Zhe, with the purpose of bringing Jizhou under his rule.
Because Jizhou's potential is too great, if Yuan Shao gets Jizhou, it will seriously threaten Liu Zhe and become Liu Zhe's biggest opponent in less than a year.
However, even if these are true, no one will say it. After Jia Xu just made a little guess, he quickly strangled the guess to death in his mind and would never think about it again.
Of course, this is naturally not true! Liu Yu is Liu Zhe’s friend, so how could he do such a treacherous thing?
When Jia Xu learned about this and was still sighing at Liu Zhe's strength, he came into contact with a further secret, which was the information outside the border. After looking at the information outside the border, Jia Xu was shocked to speak.
After reading the information outside the Great Wall, Jia Xu finally understood why Liu Zhe always looked indifferent to the Central Plains and rarely took the initiative to send troops to conquer cities and land. Especially after occupying the area north of the Yellow River, Liu Zhe even started a defensive counterattack, relying on the Yellow River to defend against the Yuan Shao coalition forces, and pretended to be like you would come over and fuck you, but he would not care about you.
Even if he attacks Qingzhou with all his might, Yuan Shao will be destroyed in a blink of an eye, but Liu Zhe will not. Instead, he plans to deal with Yuan Shao after the New Year.
The reason for all this is outside the frontier. After reading the information, Jia Xu understood that Liu Zhe's main focus was on outside the frontier. He would play whatever the princes on the Central Plains were, as long as he didn't mess with him.
