System Blessing: The Young Master of the Dong Family and Diao Chan's Fate

In the military camp, after the soldiers finished their spring plowing, they began to gather for training.

A large amount of food and fodder was packed into sacks, and nearly a thousand wooden carts were ready to transport the food and fodder at any time.

If an outsider saw this, anyone with a little military knowledge would know that another war was about to break out.

"My lord, the forging and maintenance of arrows, swords and spears can only be done by the soldiers themselves."

"Doing this work while also practicing is a little slower in terms of efficiency."

Xu Rong followed Dong Yu and began to complain.

"I know."

"We are short of manpower now, so we can only let the soldiers suffer."

Dong Yu nodded slightly and said something to comfort him.

"My Lord, I also think that what the military advisors said makes sense."

"Is this too hasty?"

Xu Rong looked hesitant, but still asked the question that was in his mind.

"I don't want to rush it either."

"But the situation is stronger than people."

Dong Yu sighed and said helplessly.

The development of Luoyang will be difficult to achieve in the short term, and it will not even be possible to restore Luoyang to 30% in three to five years.

It is said that destruction is easy, but creation is difficult.

Can the people of Luoyang alone compete with the resources of others?

And it is impossible for Dong Yu to delay development for three to five years.

Because Luoyang and Chang'an are two ruins, no matter how fast they develop, they can never be faster than Hebei and Central Plains, where the economy and population are more developed.

Therefore, unlike the strategy of building high walls and delaying the claim to the throne, Dong Yu wanted to grow and develop as much as possible before the various princes had completely absorbed the local economy and population.

Although Dongyu has a small population and a small territory, it actually has advantages.

Looking at other princes, most of them had just occupied a state and had not had time to digest, develop and strengthen themselves, but ended up going to war with others.

Although the population seems large, its actual strength cannot be fully utilized.

And what about the Dong family?

Although they were driven to Chang'an, the recovered Luoyang was once again in ruins.

Today, the combined population of Chang'an and Luoyang is over one million.

But the military capabilities are strong.

Both the central army left by Emperor Ling and the Hebei army under He Jin were elite troops trained through actual combat.

The equipment and weapons assembly rate is also much higher than that of other princes.

In short, now the only way to promote the development of the Dong family is to use military force to exchange for the population, money and food in the hands of other princes.

Otherwise, the Dong family would not be able to compete with Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others in terms of family background.

They have been in politics for generations, and the connections and wealth accumulated by countless generations, why can you catch up with them in just one generation?

Only by taking a roundabout way and overtaking on the curve can we catch up.

Only by breaking common sense can one surpass ordinary people.

"Report!"

"My lord, Generals Xuanyuan, Guan and Zhang sent someone to deliver a secret letter."

Just as Dong Yu was inspecting the military situation, a soldier rushed over with a letter in his hand.

"Wenyuan?"

"Didn't Yuan Shu abandon Yingchuan?"

"Is there still a war at Xuanyuan Pass?"

Dong Yu was a little curious, so he picked up the letter and spread it out to read it.

"My Lord, what's the important matter with Wenyuan?"

Xu Rong looked at Dong Yu who was checking the letter and asked curiously.

"It's not a big deal."

"Wenyuan said in the letter that he had met a capable general and wanted to introduce him to me."

Dong Yu explained with a happy look on his face.

"General?"

"To be praised like this by Wenyuan, one must be quite capable."

Xu Rong was a little surprised.

He also had some private friendship with Zhang Liao.

At that time, he was also the General of the Central Army of the Han Dynasty, while Zhang Liao served under He Jin.

Judging from his understanding of Zhang Liao, if Zhang Liao could give such a high evaluation to this person, then this person's ability must be beyond doubt.

"Wenyuan kept it a secret and didn't mention the other person's name in the letter."

"Since he recommended him to me, then let him come to Luoyang. I want to take a closer look at who he is."

Dong Yu was extremely curious because of Zhang Liao's suspense.
