And more importantly, Huangfu Song has said so much, can you produce grain?

Luoyang's reserves have always relied on water transport from the Central Plains. This type of water transport has a high loss in normal times, and only the authority of the Han Dynasty can maintain this loss, allowing grain to be transported from various places to Beijing. But what about now?

After two years of war in the world, Dingkou was dispersed, production was cut off, and merchant travel was extinct. Even the strong men who were originally responsible for water transportation have been drafted into the army by various counties and counties. How can we still transport grain?

In the end, Huangfu Song and Xu Pingting had a quarrel, and no one could persuade the other. Later, several powerful families in the capital, including Zheng, Zhang, Wei, and others, agreed to lend 200,000 dan of food to the court, and the chaos was stopped.

In addition, the young emperor Liu Bian had lived in Luoyang since he was a child and was unwilling to leave. Not to mention that he was also worried about being scolded by his relatives for abandoning the tombs of his ancestors.

So after seeing that the food crisis had been temporarily resolved, Liu Bian decided not to move the capital.

But this capital relocation incident made the officials and workers of the Manchu Dynasty feel thorny in their hearts. They all had this thought in their hearts:

"Have I reached this point as a big man?"

However, no matter what kind of turmoil swept Luoyang, the great epidemic in June of the first year of Taiwu finally caused civil unrest in the Central Plains.

More and more Guizhou leaders who could no longer survive began to group together to attack the local tyrants from various places. There were various rebel armies with various names.

In this regard, Luoyang was completely helpless, and the Han Dynasty could only ask local powerful families from all over the country to start their own troops to suppress the civil unrest.

There is an edict:

"Whenever a young man comes out of the army, a hundred people will be awarded the title of general, five hundred persons will be awarded the rank of captain, and five thousand persons will be awarded the rank of lieutenant general."

For a time, there were many powerful men in the Central Plains. They were either called Xiaowei or Zhonglangjiang. There were as many people as Weiwei or generals. Some of these people were directly divided into counties. For example, Su Dai, a Wu man, had five thousand soldiers and became the governor of Changsha.

Beiyu is the leader of Huarong, and each of them is the lord according to the militia.

It was also when the situation suddenly accelerated that Zhang Chong summoned civil and military officials to discuss the next stage of expansion.

Now Zhang Chong handed over the Lutai region to Guan Yu, and then left more energy to deal with Hebei affairs.

With the sudden decline of the behemoth Guandong Court, Zhang Chong predicts that the probability of subsequent joint strangulation of the Taishan Army in Hebei is low. Without strong central control, the powerful powers from all over the country cannot unite.

It was also based on this judgment that Zhang Chong believed that now was the time to take over all the lands in Hebei.

Some staff members thought that it would be better to take advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains and the heroes to rise south, pass Xingyang and go straight to Luoyang.

But Xun You put forward a different view for Zhang Chong. He believed that the Central Plains is now a muddy land, which seems to be in chaos but is complicated. Moreover, the Central Plains is the area where the powerful have the strongest strength. It is better to take advantage of the civil strife and the depletion of strength.

At that time, we worked together on the Northern Expedition.

Youji has strong soldiers and horses, and has been defeated by Taishan's army. It is time to capture them all. Once you support Youji, you can leave Taihang and enter Bingzhou, and then control the two capitals with nothing, and the world can be settled.

Zhang Chong accepted his strategy and decided to make another northern expedition.
