Therefore, the focus of Yanmen County should be on improving people's livelihoods. It would take several years just to develop all of these things.
Therefore, Xun You was extremely busy after arriving in Bingzhou, so busy that he barely had time to rest.
Now, since we can't recruit talents from Yuzhou or other places through a lottery system, we can only teach more and more people to read and write in Bingzhou.
This barely filled the large number of vacancies in the official ranks.
Meanwhile, the anti-Dong Zhuo alliance among the Guandong warlords was already defunct, with the group fighting amongst themselves and the alliance on the verge of disintegration.
Meanwhile, Dong Zhuo remained hidden in Chang'an and refused to leave, temporarily stabilizing the situation across the land.
But as the new year arrived, a conspiracy was already underway in secret.
Wang Yun conspired with Lü Bu to assassinate Dong Zhuo, and the plot succeeded in April of that year!
When the news reached Yanmen County, it was the end of April, and Tang Yu, Xun You, and Xun Yu had a secret discussion about it.
"Minister Wang hesitated and failed to handle the Xiliang army properly. I'm afraid the Xiliang army will soon be in chaos!"
The current situation is that although Dong Zhuo is dead, he still has a large number of Xiliang troops under his command.
This group lost their leader, and the court's stance was ambiguous. Instead of immediately pardoning them, rumors spread that they would be exterminated.
So, would these warriors just obediently wait to die?
Therefore, Xun You was certain that Chang'an would soon descend into chaos.
"Although Dong Zhuo was tyrannical, he could at least control the people under his command."
Now that he's dead, the Xiliang army will only become more and more chaotic, plagued by endless internal strife, and will ultimately bring about its own destruction.
Xun Yu sighed; the world had finally come to this.
Tang Yu, however, felt this was a good opportunity.
"This is our opportunity. The imperial court can no longer manage the surrounding areas, so let's take this opportunity to deal with Taiyuan County and Hedong County."
Although Tang Xuan is currently the governor of Taiyuan Prefecture and manages the prefecture's administration, he cannot actually reform the tax and land systems.
But now we can use force to resolve this, since the Chang'an court simply doesn't have the energy to deal with the surrounding areas.
When the Xiliang army launches a counterattack on Chang'an, they will only choose to cooperate with them.
The warlords of Guandong do not yet have their own territory, so it is impossible for them to organize an attack. This is the best opportunity!
In May of that year, Tang Yu unexpectedly rescued Cai Wenji, who had been kidnapped, from the Xiongnu side.
Cai Wenji is indeed a learned person; she can stay in Bingzhou to work.
Therefore, Tang Yu agreed to Cai Wenji's request for help and sent someone to Chang'an to rescue Cai Yong.
Thus, at Jia Xu's urging, when Li Jue and Guo Si launched a counterattack on Chang'an, internal strife broke out in Taiyuan and Hedong counties, leading to a major reshuffling of personnel.
Reforming the land tax system would naturally affect the interests of local powerful families, so bloodshed was inevitable.
But in this world, whoever has the sharpest knife is right.
Therefore, almost half of Bingzhou was under the control of Tang Yu's people.
Those who disobeyed died, and the survivors compromised with the newly established rules.
Then, having heard about the latest situation in Bingzhou, Lü Bu, Zhang Liao, Zhang Yang, and others who had fled from Chang'an headed straight for Bingzhou.
After all, Bingzhou was their hometown, and they didn't want to leave unless absolutely necessary.
Tang Yu's side is naturally short of military officers, and it's impossible for her to go to every battle. What will happen when there are multiple fronts to fight in the future?
Although she had recruited Zhang Yan of the Black Mountain Army and Xu Huang of Hedong County in the past few years, there is never too much talent.
Therefore, Bingzhou attached great importance to and respected the arrival of these three people.
Then these people, especially Lü Bu, somewhat underestimated Tang Yu's abilities.
However, after a fight in the training ground, all of them were convinced of his superiority!
Chapter 17 Xun Yu of the Three Kingdoms
For the next two years, Li Jue and Guo Si controlled the court, and Liu Xie remained a puppet. However, the two had no objection to Tang Yu of Bingzhou, and instead engaged in trade with him.
Because Chang'an lacked food, Bingzhou even made a lot of money, preventing Chang'an from falling into a state of famine.
Meanwhile, Tang Yu led his generals to train soldiers and attack the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Wuhuan, and Qiang people in the surrounding areas, eliminating all potential threats.
Keep beating those who don't obey until they submit.
The development of the Guandong region was similar to that in history. Liu Yu was killed by Gongsun Zan, and then Gongsun Zan went to war with Yuan Shao of Ji Province. Cao Cao went to Yan Province, and Yuan Shu was in Yang Province.
The situation in the Guandong region developed almost exactly according to the original timeline, with only the Guanzhong region and Bingzhou experiencing different changes.
However, by this time everyone in the world had realized that the actual controller of Bingzhou was a woman.
This woman was powerful; she drove all the surrounding barbarians back onto the grasslands, leaving them no choice but to confront her.
And now no one has the energy to manage Bingzhou.
Yuan Shao hadn't even properly controlled Ji Province yet, so how could he manage other places? Cao Cao was still struggling in Yan Province, and neither of them had the power to govern the distant Bing Province. On the contrary, they even had private trade and cooperation.
So one after another, members of the Tang family and the Xun family came to Bingzhou.
After all, this place is safe, and our own people still have a future.
The Xun family initially had some reservations.
Tang Yu married into the Xun family, so why is her child surnamed Tang? Is the entire Bingzhou still ruled by people with the surname Tang?
But all these questions vanished after witnessing the brutality of Tang Yu of Bingzhou.
In chaotic times, whoever wields the sharpest blade speaks the loudest words; everyone understands this perfectly.
At this time, the Chang'an court, after two years of rest and recuperation, had not gradually become stable.
Instead, Li Jue and Guo Si began fighting amongst themselves, plunging the entire city of Chang'an into chaos.
"Due to the uneven distribution of benefits, some people have proposed to temporarily unite and attack us to seize the wealth that Bingzhou has accumulated over the years. That's a good plan."
Indeed, after their internal strife, Li Jue and Guo Si suddenly turned their guns on Bingzhou.
After all, Bingzhou has developed very well in recent years, and Chang'an still comes to Bingzhou to buy grain. As for other items such as white sugar, salt, cotton clothes, and porcelain, they are even more popular.
But you have to pay to buy things, but you don't have to pay to steal things. So these two people had this idea.
"We can also take this opportunity to attack Chang'an and occupy the Guanzhong region."
Lu Bu was more direct, suggesting that they fight back directly. Did they still have to fear the Xiliang army in Chang'an?
Others also agreed with this idea, including Tang Yu.
Once we conquer Guanzhong and then occupy Yizhou, we will have the same power as the Qin state in the past.
Unifying the world will be much easier in the future.
But now the problem is, Tang Yu is worried about how to deal with Liu Xie.
She didn't think that using the emperor to command the feudal lords was a good thing, because then the Han dynasty officials in Chang'an would have to stay, and their cronies would also have to stay.
If Liu Xie wants to implement new policies in Guanzhong in the future, he and his old ministers will probably oppose it. There will be too many obstacles, which will not be good for the future.
So we need to find a way to get rid of these people.
In August of that year, Li Jue and Guo Si led the Xiliang army to attack Bingzhou.
The Xiongnu were dishonest; they wanted to help Chang'an seize the wealth of Bingzhou.
Thus, Bingzhou fought on two fronts, attacking the Xiongnu on one side and engaging in a decisive battle with the Xiliang army on the other.
Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Zhang Yang, Xu Huang, and Zhang Yan are all formidable generals, which is why Tang Yu allowed them to fight freely this time.
Tang Yu then went directly to Chang'an and made Liu Xie disappear.
When news of Liu Xie finally arrived, he was already inexplicably in Luoyang.
A group of ministers in Chang'an panicked instantly, and they all rushed to Luoyang, completely ignoring the Xiliang army and Bingzhou army that were currently fighting.
The Xiliang army panicked. They had originally intended to use the emperor to command the world and promote themselves.
Now that Liu Xie had fled, what was the point of them holding out in Chang'an? So their morale was shattered, and they were utterly defeated.
As a result, the remaining Xiliang army surrendered.
This mainly refers to Duan Wei and Zhang Ji. These two did not participate in the attack around Chang'an at all, so they surrendered very readily without any psychological burden.
In the future, we will need to completely control Liangzhou, so we will definitely need to leave some people from Xiliang to appease the Xiliang army.
Therefore, in this war, Liu Xie and his group of old ministers all fled to Luoyang, while Tang Yu and his men successfully occupied the Guanzhong region.
Liu Xie thought he had gained his freedom, but now Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were fighting over him.
No matter who gets into his hands, he will only continue to be a puppet, but he doesn't understand this yet.
But now, everyone in the world is looking at the Tang army with a different eye.
This woman named Tang Yu is incredibly powerful; she's now directly controlling such a large area.
Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and others wanted to punish Tang Yu, this usurper.
However, with the Taihang Mountains and Hangu Pass separating the two sides, it would be as difficult for the people from Guandong to attack as it was for the Qin Dynasty back then; it would simply be a losing proposition.
So everyone was just verbally cursing each other, but in reality, very few people took any action and actually led their troops to attack Guanzhong.
Tang Yu is no longer concerned about the situation in Guandong, but is thinking about building up Chang'an and recovering Liangzhou.
Therefore, in the following years, Yuan Shao was busy fighting against Gongsun Zan, occupying Youzhou, and expanding into Qingzhou.
Cao Cao was busy continuing to control Yan Province, and he even stumbled once, almost being driven out of Yan Province.
Yuan Shu's rule in Yangzhou was unpopular, and he levied exorbitant taxes, so Yuan Shu made little progress and his territory shrank.
However, Tang Yu and his men have recovered Liangzhou and are now in the process of recovering Yizhou.
Because Liu Zhang failed to consolidate the situation in Yizhou after Liu Yan's death, he was able to take advantage of the situation and seize control of Yizhou.
In July of that year, Guo Jia received a letter from Xun Yu and came to Chang'an.
Over the past few years, Chang'an has been completely renovated and rebuilt into a new city, five times larger than the previous Chang'an city. It is a huge city that can accommodate one million people.
