In Longxi County, Liangzhou, the family of a down-and-out family is surrounded by dozens of player lords and thousands of free players.

A strong man with a height of more than eight feet, a burly appearance, and a majestic face and nose walked out of the house. He didn't understand why this group of strangers came to the door.

The leader of the player lord stood up to negotiate with the strong man: "I am Xu Fengnian, the leader of the foreigners. The world is in chaos, the Qiang people are holding Bianzhang hostage, Han Sui started an uprising, and the momentum was so great that the court was unable to suppress it, and the bandits were allowed to cause chaos in Xiliang and Guanzhong.

, life is in ruins. How can you sit idly by and ignore it after your Excellency came to the aid of General Fubo!"

"I, Ma Teng, am just a common man now. You can find someone else."

"The prince and general Xiang Ning have the guts! Your Excellency, join forces with me. We will exterminate the rebellious Qiang people, pacify Bianzhang and Han Sui, and then occupy Xiliang. Watch the situation in the world and wait for the opportunity. Then great things can be accomplished. Why do we need to stay here as a hometown?

Mr. Nomura, you have disgraced the lintel of our ancestors!"

Lord Xu Fengnian's words were deafening, and Ma Teng fell into deep thought.

"Dad, who are these people?"

A boy less than ten years old followed Ma Teng, looking at the visiting strangers suspiciously.

Dozens of player lords and thousands of free players looked at this young man with fiery eyes.

Ma Teng's son, Ma Chao, once he grows up, will be a powerful general on the level of the Five Tiger Generals!

They came to invite Ma Tengshan, probably to get Ma Chao!

Of course, there are also Ma Tie, Ma Xiu, Ma Yunlu...

Ma Teng stroked Ma Chao's hair with his big and generous hands: "We are going to intervene in this troubled world."

Lord Xu Fengnian handed over to Ma Teng: "Believe me, we can become the king of Xiliang."

Xiliang was in chaos. The Qiang and rebels marched from Liangzhou to Guanzhong. However, there were still a large number of prefectures and counties in Liangzhou controlled by the governors and county guards of the Han Dynasty. The county guards of the ten counties in Liangzhou recruited troops or helped the Han Dynasty.

, resist the rebels, or support your own troops. The rebels, Han army, and player lords are mixed together, and the situation is unclear.

Some lords in Longxi County supported Ma Teng as the nominal leader of the alliance. They separated one side and quickly mobilized tens of thousands of troops.

"Xiliang and Guanzhong are in chaos, completely in chaos! The lords of the two places have raised troops and fought in melee, and a large number of lords have defected to Ma Teng and Han Sui, forming a separatist force!"

"Dong Zhuo hasn't risen yet, right? Ma Teng and Han Sui have raised their troops. I wonder if Dong Zhuo still has a chance to become bigger."

"I heard that many players have defected to Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo is now serving as Huangfu Song's lieutenant. There are free players making suggestions for Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo has recruited Hua Xiong, Li Ru and other subordinates. His power has expanded greatly, and is not weaker than Ma

Teng, Han Sui."

"Idiot, how can they take refuge in Dong Zhuo? After Dong Zhuo becomes big, before Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Liu Bei, and Sun Jian develop, who can stop Dong Zhuo's troops?"

"At first they wanted to support Huangfu Song to occupy Guanzhong, but Huangfu Song was loyal to the Han Dynasty, so the players gave up. No one believed that Huangfu Song could revive the Han Dynasty. Instead of relying on Huangfu Song, they might as well join the ambitious Dong Zhuo.

Although Dong Zhuo was rough in his methods, he was still good to some of his subordinates, as long as he did not provoke Dong Zhuo's women."

"I think they took refuge in Dong Zhuo because they were greedy for Diao Chan's body, or because they were greedy for Lu Bu's body..."

"Someone really took refuge in Diao Chan's adoptive father Wang Yun."

"..."

As soon as Chu Tian returned to Xia Town, he learned a series of shocking news.

After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Qiang people in Xiliang launched another rebellion, threatening Sanfu and Luoyang. Moreover, Ma Teng raised troops at the instigation of Longxi County players.

Unknowingly, two of the thirteen states were already at war.

In comparison, Xuzhou was considered stable under the governance of the governor Tao Qian.

There is a delicate balance between Tao Qian, Kong Rong and Taishan Thief.

The history of "Lord" is somewhat different from real history and is not real history.

At this time in history, Kong Rong had not yet separatized the Beihai Kingdom. However, in "Lords", Kong Rong has already entered the Beihai Kingdom, which is as consistent as possible with the common sense of most players. Moreover, there is a lack of historical records of the governors in various places.

"Liangzhou and Guanzhong were in chaos, Bingzhou was invaded by the Xiongnu, and Youzhou was threatened by Xianbei, Wuhuan, and the Goryeo civilization area. These are places rich in war horses. It seems that the lords of these places are not having a hard time either."

Chu Tian couldn't help but feel lucky that he could expand the territory at his own pace in Xuzhou without having to be passively involved in the war.

"The spring offensive is progressing faster than we imagined, and the financial crisis has been initially resolved. What do you plan to do next?"

After Xia Liang came back from Chutian, he immediately came to count the loot with the ledger in hand, and used the loot to make up for Xia Town's financial deficit, repay the bank's loan, and still have some leftover.

Chu Tian turned to Fang Xuanling, who was in charge of household registration, and asked: "What is the population of Xia Town now?"

Fang Xuanling had an extraordinary memory and replied casually: "There are 3121 households with 14017 people in total."

Chu Tian really had to consider the next strategy: "Replenish Xia Town by drawing the population from the seven towns and thirty-one villages that were just conquered, and draw five out of ten households."

There are a total of 35,140 people and 7,721 households in the seven towns and thirty-one villages. Chutian transferred half of the population to Xia Town, causing the population of Xia Town to increase to more than 40,000.

Fang Xuanling reminded Chu Tian: "Relocating half of the population of the seven towns in the north to Xia Town will lead to an emptiness in the north, and a significant decline in the public support and public security of Xia Town."

"Just execute it."

Chutian also knew that forcibly increasing the population of Xia Town would bring a lot of negative effects. The people of the seven northern towns that had just been conquered did not yet recognize the rule of Xia Town.

But plundering the population is undoubtedly the fastest way to develop a territory.

In order to reach the city level as soon as possible, Chu Tian could only administer strong medicine. As for the negative effects, he could just find ways to calm them down in the future.

Fang Xuanling only provided suggestions, and it was Chu Tian who really made the final decision.

Hua Mulan led the cavalry to various villages and towns to force them to move. For a time, the public sentiment in the seven northern towns dropped sharply.

The people in the Eastern Han Dynasty were reluctant to move to their new homeland, but in the face of the sharp saber, they finally chose to surrender and were moved to Xia Town.

Xia Town's public sentiment and public security dropped from 90 to about 70 due to the second large-scale immigration of immigrants.

Chu Tian was not in a hurry and resettled the townspeople who were forced to move to Xia Town, repaired their houses and arranged work.

Li Kui led them to cultivate farmland outside Xia Town, and then distributed the farmland so that the tillers would have their own land.

The farmland of these new townspeople in their original villages and towns will be taken over by the government, and they will still get a share of this year's harvest.

Chutian concentrated its population, food and money in the southern part of Kaiyang County. In this way, even if the land in the north was lost in the future, it would not have a huge impact on Xia Town.
