The Three Kingdoms began with island farming

Chapter 549: Primary and Secondary
Such a distribution result was also within Zhuge Liang's expectations.

As competitors, the aristocratic families in each state naturally hope that they can get a bigger piece of the pie.

Therefore, when choosing a cooperating lord, one would try to consider those that one is familiar with. But at the same time, one would also have to consider whether the lord one chooses would cooperate with other state families.

For example, the Youzhou family who chose to cooperate with Lu Bu.

The Bingzhou family actually wanted to choose Lu Bu who was from Bingzhou, but the Youzhou family was too strong and dominated the rest of the states.

If they chose Lu Bu, they would undoubtedly be secretly suppressed by the Youzhou family, which would not be worth the loss.

Wherever there are people, there is struggle, and the discussions in recent days have undoubtedly proved this.

When the Kushans are conquered and the spoils are divided, there will definitely be another round of "internal fighting" among them.

Therefore, the Bingzhou family "compromised" and chose the second candidate, Gongsun Zan.

The same is true for the choices made by the powerful families in the Central Plains.

As a result of the distribution, it seemed that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao each occupied three states of powerful families and were too strong.

But in fact, if you really count them, the strength of the four parties is relatively balanced.

The aristocratic families and powerful people in various places have long been reshuffled with the military strength and development of Da Qi. Perhaps there have been few changes in their foundation, but their hard power has already undergone earth-shaking changes.

And the foundation will continue to accumulate and be consumed.

This is how it is in an era of great contention, the strong will become stronger and the weak will perish, some will take advantage of the situation to soar to the sky while others will decline.

When the results were finalized, many families quickly began to take action.

Another month of chaos.

The noble families fought each other to the point of their brains out. Dozens of noble families were directly expelled from the list, and many other noble families were seriously damaged.

Zhuge Liang sat back and watched these noble families fighting among themselves and quarreling with each other, and made a fortune.

Not only did it easily eliminate many hidden dangers in the Northeast Plain and even the Great Qi, but it also gained a large number of people and materials.

However, a month later, with the finalization of the list, the chaotic situation was cleared up again.

All the noble families began to prepare for the Western Expedition and relocated the people under their rule.

Facts have proved that population migration is indeed difficult, but as long as the driving force is strong enough, it can still be easily accomplished.

The aristocratic families and powerful people were well aware of the importance of population, so they made very thorough preparations for many matters along the way, and Zhuge Liang didn't need to worry about anything at all.

These people were more worried about damage on the road than Zhuge Liang, and they were extremely thorough in ideological work, organizational mobilization, and logistical support.

Millions of people migrated towards Xiliang in a mighty way, but it seemed so smooth that no major trouble occurred. It was truly amazing.

"It seems that the pressure on these families is still not enough." Tian Ze couldn't help but complain after receiving the information.

These powerful families are truly terrifying as enemies, and useful but restless as subordinates. However, they do these things much more efficiently than the government.

Even if Tian Ze was in charge of leading this population migration, he would definitely not be able to achieve this level.

Jia Xu smiled faintly and said nothing more.

"When does your majesty plan to take action?"

Hearing this, Tian Ze looked towards the south with a gloomy gaze: "Let's wait until next year to officially start. After all, Yuan Benchu ​​and Cao Mengde also need to settle down for a while, and these noble families also need to get along with the four kings in advance."

"However, we can practice on the Northern Huns first."

"A group of things that have been eliminated by the times can be eliminated in the times."

In the past, the Han Dynasty fought against the Huns and although it defeated the Huns thoroughly, it did not completely destroy them.

A part of the Huns moved to Bingzhou and became the Southern Huns, and have now been assimilated and incorporated.

The other part of the people who were determined to resist fled westwards, and came to the west of the Western Regions and the north of Kushan, where they settled and were called the Northern Huns. Unlike the Southern Huns who bullied the weak and feared the strong, the Northern Huns were no longer glorious, but they still had a backbone.

However, their strength was too weak, with a population of only over 400,000 and an army of less than 100,000, so they could not afford to provoke the Han Dynasty.

It was sandwiched between the Parthian, Kushan and Han empires and could only survive in misery.

Tian Ze didn't take the weak Northern Huns seriously at all.

It is only fit to serve as a whetstone for the four kings to train the army a little.

If they get serious, I'm afraid any one of the four kings can easily destroy it.

"After destroying the Northern Huns, Your Majesty, won't you worry that Parthia and Kushan will be wary?" Jia Xu asked.

Tian Ze shook his head gently: "If I don't destroy the Northern Xiongnu, won't they be afraid?"

"In a war of this scale, relying on a temporary strategy to gain an advantage is meaningless. We just need to control the initiative of the war as much as possible."

"The key to destroying Kushan lies in the four kings themselves and in the interior of Kushan."

Jia Xu nodded slightly.

Many times, one plus one does not always equal two.

This can be seen from the situation of the Central Plains princes' alliance attacking Tianze in the past.

Many times, although one side has the advantage in strength, when the real fight comes, each has its own concerns, and in the end, not even half of its full combat power can be exerted.

Even if they all worked together, the cohesive force was still not as good as expected.

This is no longer a question of the sincerity of the alliance, but more of a question of coordination between the parties.

Each of the four kings is a great man, but they cannot guarantee how powerful they can be when they are tied together.

Therefore, this problem must be solved before attacking Kushan.

Find an enemy who can take a beating but is not too strong to serve as a whetstone to sharpen the knife into shape.

"How does Your Majesty plan to arrange this matter?"

Tian Ze pondered for a moment, then said, "Wen Yuan will lead 20,000 troops, along with Ma Chao and Pang De, to the west. Each of the four kings will select a general and send out 10,000 troops."

"A total of 60,000 troops are enough to deal with the Northern Huns."

"Who is the commander? What is Wenyuan's position?" asked Cheng Yu on the side.

"The position of commander-in-chief can be decided by the four kings. Wenyuan will follow the command, but he will mainly serve as a reserve force."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yu nodded slightly.

The protagonists of this drama are the four kings, not them. Just get this done.

Although Cheng Yu was interested in expanding territory, it was rare for him to share the same idea with Chen Gong and others.

For this kind of thing, just push Yuan Shao and others out.

If they are defeated, it is their own problem. If they win, we can share the spoils.

It is foolproof and guaranteed to make money.

"Your Majesty, how many troops do you plan to send to assist the four kings in attacking Kushan?" Chen Gong suddenly asked.

When a large army goes on an expedition, the pressure on logistics will be enormous. Chen Gong is very worried that Tian Ze will get too excited and wants to set the tone first.

Tian Ze heard this and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Two hundred thousand troops, is that possible?"
