    So, in the following days, Wenhan, Xilong, Gao Shun, and Zhao Yun were almost busy taking over the seven or eight hundred thousand people who had returned from the Qiang and Hu. Arranging such a huge number was very time-consuming.  First of all, we need to arrange their food rations and a place to live. Most of these Han people are from Bingzhou, coming from Shuofang, Wuyuan, Dingxiang and other counties close to the Qiang and Hu. Although these people have a short journey back, they still have to go back every day.  Every time a person opens his mouth, he wants rice and grain.  The combined amount of these rice grains is staggering and terrifying.

    But these people are all common people and compatriots of the Han Dynasty.  Wen Han actually rescued them from the Qiang Hu, so he would never let them starve to death.  Wenhan immediately ordered that the granaries in all cities and counties in Shuofang, Wuyuan, and Dingxiang counties be opened to help the people returning along the way.  At the same time, several teams of light cavalry were also dispatched to bring in food and grass from Pingyang and Taiyuan counties.  The people in the counties of Bingzhou also heard the news that Wen Han wanted to take back all the people who had been kidnapped by the barbarian thieves from the Qiang and Hu. Yin was so happy that they took out rice and grain from their homes to help the people passing through their cities and counties.

    At this point, the problem of rice grains can be temporarily solved.  The reason why it is said to be temporary is because 700,000 to 800,000 people are left behind and they need a livelihood.  Survival is nothing more than food, clothing, housing and transportation, among which food and housing are the most urgent.  In this regard, Wenhan and Xilong discussed for days and unanimously agreed that the only way to solve the problem of food and housing for these people as quickly as possible was through farming.

    And because Bingzhou has been ravaged by war in the past two years, most of the wealthy landowners in the counties in Bingzhou have moved out of Bingzhou.  Therefore, there are many unclaimed lands in every county in Bingzhou.  Therefore, it was the best time for Wenhan to implement farming.

    After the decision on the farming policy, Wen Han immediately transferred Zhang Hong, Han Song and other bureaucrats who had experience in farming in Hedong to take charge of the farming in Bingzhou.  At the same time, he ordered his sworn brother Zhou Long to bring a lot of grain and grass from the Hedong granary. He also notified the Wei family and Lin, who was in charge of Hedong business in the Wenhan Group, to purchase large quantities from various wealthy merchants in Hedong.  Seeing that Wenhan had won Bingzhou and his power had increased dramatically, these wealthy merchants wanted to please Wenhan, so they sold the grain and grass they had hoarded at very low prices.

    At this point, Wenhan gathered a large amount of grain and grass in Bingzhou from various channels. This grain and grass was enough to sustain the livelihood of these people for a year, so that there was enough time from farming to harvest.  Subsequently, Wenhan carried out a large-scale construction project and divided his army into various units to help the people build houses and build new homes for them in various counties.

    At the same time that Bingzhou was reviving, Yanzhou was on the other side.

    At this time, Cao Cao's troops had annihilated all the Black Mountain bandits in Yanzhou. He originally led 20,000 elite soldiers, but later recruited 30,000 bandits. In the subsequent battles, he recruited another 20,000 bandits. However, during the war,  Cao Cao lost 10,000 soldiers. Most of the soldiers killed in the battle were the traitors he had recruited.  Even so, Cao Cao's current military strength in Yanzhou has reached 60,000. Coupled with the 10,000 elite troops stationed in Chenliu, Cao Cao's military strength has reached 70,000.

    Let¡¯s look at Cao Cao¡¯s men again. During the nearly year-long war in Yanzhou, Jia Xu, who was very resourceful and set up a series of beauties to kill Dong Zhuo, joined Cao Cao¡¯s men. Jia Xu¡¯s wisdom was even known as Xun Yu¡¯s talent as a king¡¯s assistant.  He felt ashamed that he was inferior to Jia Xu because he specialized in military matters. In terms of marching, fighting, and making plans, Xun Yu felt that he was not as good as Jia Xu, so he voluntarily resigned from the post of military advisor to Cao Cao.  He gave up the position of general and division to Jia Xu.  Jia Xu doesn't like to attract attention by nature, but two years ago he had to show off his talents in order to escape Wen Han's control. Jia Xu also knew that in front of Cao Cao, it was best not to make too many calculations, so he had to accept it happily.  As for Xun Yu, he was later worshiped as a marching Sima by Cao Cao.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­  At the same time, Xun You also resigned from Cao Cao's position as military advisor and gave it to Guo Jia, who was later appointed as a marching professor by Cao Cao.  Although the two uncles and nephews Xun Yu and Xun You voluntarily demoted their official positions, they did not feel depressed at all. On the contrary, they were sincerely happy for the arrival of these two talented counselors, Jia Xu and Guo Jia.

    Xun You even said happily underneath.

    "My lord has acquired Jia Xu and Guo Jia, like a tiger with two wings and a dragon with clouds, so why worry about the uncertainty of the great cause of the world?"

    Later, Guo Jia recommended a descendant of Guangwu's direct sect, a native of Chengde in Huainan, with the surname Liu, given name Ye, and courtesy name Ziyang.  Cao Cao set out to hire him personally.  Liu Ye recommended two more people, one was from Changyi, Shanyang, whose surname was Man, whose given name was Chong, and whose given name was Boning. The other was from Wucheng, whose surname was Lu, whose given name was Qian, whose given name was Zike.  Cao Cao was also aware of these two reputations and hired him to serve in the army.  Man Chong and Lu Qian jointly recommended one person, who was from Chenliupingqiu. His surname was Mao, his given name was Jie, and his given name was Xiaoxian.  Cao Cao also hired him to work.

    Later, one day, Cao Cao's army was fighting with the Black Mountain bandits. Cao Cao liked strange strategies and led an army to sneak attack on the bandits' stronghold. Unexpectedly, there were a lot of thieves in the bandits' stronghold, and the leader of the thieves was born with a tiger's back and a strong waist. He rode his horse with Cao Cao  Fight.  Cao Cao can'tHe was so powerful that he wanted to escape, but was surrounded by the bandits. He was secretly complaining.

    A burly-looking, nine-foot-tall villain with dark masculine skin and muscles as strong as iron, who seemed to have the power of a dragon or an elephant, suddenly came to kill him with two halberds.  It was like a black whirlwind, killing the surrounding thieves in a frenzy. Wherever the two halberds passed, a hurricane was born. After killing for a while, no thieves dared to move forward in fright.

    Later, the evil man ran to Cao Cao. At this time, the thief was slashing at Cao Cao. Seeing that Cao Cao was in a dangerous situation, the evil man took a short halberd from his arms and threw it at the thief without saying a word.  The halberd flew past like thunder and fire. Before the thief had time to react, he was stabbed in the throat by the halberd and died on the spot.

    The evil man came to Cao Cao's side and shouted loudly. The sound was like the thunder of a huge bell, which shook the heaven and the earth.

    "Who dares to step forward!!!"

    With this drink, the evil man drank nearly a thousand thieves until their souls were broken and their courage exploded. In the end, the thousand thieves scattered away.  When Cao Cao saw this, he couldn't help but sigh on the spot.

    "This hero is truly the evil one from ancient times!"

    Cao Cao sighed and was about to talk to the evil man. At this time, Xiahou Dun heard the news and learned that Cao Cao was in danger, so he galloped towards him.  When Li Yuan saw a villain next to Cao Cao, he stared at him and shouted.

    "You evil man, please don't hurt my lord!"

    The evil man didn¡¯t know Xiahou Dun¡¯s identity and thought he wanted to avenge the leader of the thieves, so he immediately went to greet him with two halberds.  Cao Cao, on the other hand, fell in love with the evil man and wanted to take him under his command because he wanted to test his martial arts ability, so he did not say anything to stop him.

    The evil man rushed to Xiahou Dun and swung his halberd with his left hand. The force was so terrifying that a vicious wind rose up. Xiahou Dun saw that the evil man was so powerful that he did not dare to raise his weapon, so he quickly raised his gun to block it.

    There was a loud bang, and Xiahou Dun's expression changed on the spot, secretly saying that this villain's power was terrifying, and he was even on par with Lu Fengxian, who was known as unparalleled in the world.

    While Xiahou Dun was surprised, the evil man suddenly shouted loudly, and struck the halberd from top to bottom with his right hand. Xiahou Dun shook his head and stabbed out dozens of spear flowers with one shot, hoping to win with speed.

    The evil man smiled coldly, not afraid of the backlash, and waved his two halberds with both hands. In an instant, the black halberds seemed to turn into black whirlwinds, killing Xiahou Dun, the most powerful general under Cao Cao, without the power to fight back, and could only hold a  Defending vigorously.  The more the villain beat him, the more energetic he became. He shouted the word "happy" and waved his halberds a little faster.

    Except for Lu Fengxian, who was unparalleled in the world, Xiahou Dun had never experienced such bad luck. In a moment, his gun style changed, and his whole body's momentum exploded. In the eyes of the evil man, he saw waves of black murderous intent rushing towards the head of Xiahou Dun's gun.  , a huge black leopard looms.

    Once the phase comes out, it is a killing move.  A smile suddenly appeared on the evil man's ferocious face. In a sudden moment, his burly body also burst out with a strong momentum. In Xiahoudun's eyes, he saw only one black and one white wave of energy in the evil man's double halberds.  It surged out wildly, and a black dragon and a white elephant seemed to be rushing towards the sky. This terrifying momentum overwhelmed Xiahoudun's black panther.

    Although Cao Cao was not a top-notch general, he had extraordinary foresight. When he saw the strong winds and air currents surrounding the two of them, he knew that they were about to make a killing move.  It was obvious that the evil man's momentum overwhelmed Xiahou Dun.  Cao Cao was afraid that Xiahou Dun would make a mistake, so he quickly shouted.

    "Yuan Rang, Junjie, stop it quickly!"

    "Obviously Cao Cao's words were a little slow.  In the battlefield between the two men, the evil man's two halberds fell suddenly, the dragon and elephant galloped, and Xiahou Dun also stabbed with a shocking spear, and the black panther crawled and jumped into the evil looking dragon and elephant.

    There was a bang.

    The dust is flying and the wind is blowing.  Cao Cao was almost blown away by the strong wind.  When the wind and dust cleared, the evil man was seen retreating wildly, at least a hundred steps away. The evil man gave a sharp shout and stamped his foot on the ground, almost cracking the ground before stopping his castration.  Cao Cao continued to look for Xiahou Dun anxiously, and finally saw Xiahou Dun's body flying away a hundred meters away. He broke through several big trees and then stopped his attack.

    Xiahou Dun felt as if all the bones and nerves in his body were broken, but with his strong will, he stood up and said secretly at the same time.

    "Where did this monster come from? If this monster hadn't restrained most of its strength after hearing Aman's words, my hands would probably be useless."

    Xiahoudun¡¯s original gun had flown to nowhere, and the hand holding the gun was bloody and trembling.  After the evil man stopped castrating, he smiled at Xiahou Dun, as if he still wanted to fight Xiahou Dun again.  Xiahou Dun had also reduced his strength just now. The evil man wanted to know how much impact Xiahou Dun would have on him if he exerted his full strength.

    From this point of view, this villain is not only terrifying in terms of force, but also a war-loving humanoid monster!

    "I don't know the name of this hero. I am the prefect of Chenliu.Cao Cao, Cao Mengde, is here to fight against the thieves according to the order of Liu Prefect.  If it hadn't been for the heroic rescue just now, Cao would have almost died.

    "The enemy you just faced was a general under Cao's command. He must have mistakenly thought you were a traitor and had harmful intentions to Cao, so he swung his gun at you in desperation."  If you have been offended, Cao would like to apologize to you.  "

    At some point, Cao Cao got off his horse and walked up to the evil man, as if he was not afraid that the evil man would suddenly attack him.
