A Journey Through the Worlds of Film and Television.

Chapter 673: Civil and Military Personnel Gathered

Looking at the team of cavalrymen in white on the opposite side, generals such as Dian Wei and Li Dian couldn't help but feel a little envious, and even Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin were the same.

As a general, who doesn't want to command an elite cavalry, travel freely and pursue the enemy?

Lu Su could not help but nod his head repeatedly. "I heard that under the command of Gongsun Zan, the governor of Beiping, there is an elite cavalry called the White Horse Volunteers. Everyone rides a white horse and wears a white robe. They come and go like the wind and are famous outside the Great Wall. It seems that this is the team."

Guo Jia smiled slightly: "It is indeed an elite force, but it also has many limitations. I heard that Gongsun Zan likes to rely on cavalry in battle, which may not be a good thing."

Xi Zhicai also spoke up: "In my opinion, the White Horse Volunteers are most suitable for grassland warfare and rely too much on speed. If they are restricted by the terrain, they cannot display their strengths and take advantage of their speed, and will be easily restricted."

Seeing the cavalry approaching, generals such as Dian Wei and Xu Chu stepped forward one after another. Li Dian and Zhou Tai also led their troops to line up in the front to meet the enemy.

After a while, the cavalry stopped in front, and a general rode out and said in a loud voice: "I am Yan Gang, a general under the command of the governor of Beiping. Is the governor of Liaodong here?"

Dian Wei came to the front of the battle line and said: "We are from Liaodong. Why are you trying to stop us? Do you want to start a war with us from Liaodong?"

"That's not the case. We just heard that the Liaodong governor has many brave generals under his command. Since we have met him today, we are here to challenge him."

Upon hearing this, Lu Cheng directly ordered Dian Wei: "Dian Wei, capture him alive."

"Yes, my lord."

Then, Dian Wei was seen holding a pair of halberds, spurring his horse forward and saying, "I am Dian Wei from Chenliu, and I have come to capture you!"

"Dian Wei? You are just an unknown person, and you dare to fight?"

"Take the iron halberd from my hand first!"

Dian Wei didn't waste any time and rushed straight towards Yan Gang.

Yan Gang came here to test the enemy. When he heard that the enemy was not Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, or Taishi Ci, he looked down on him. But when the two sides passed each other and their weapons clashed, Yan Gang realized the seriousness of the problem, but it was too late.

"Dang!" After a sound of metal clashing, the spear in Yan Gang's hand fell directly to the ground.

Then, Dian Wei swept the iron halberd in his right hand and hit Yan Gang directly on the chest, knocking Yan Gang off his horse with one blow.

Before the other party could react, Dian Wei had already jumped off his horse, picked up Yan Gang with one hand and threw him on the horse.

Hundreds of White Horse Volunteers saw their leader being captured and wanted to step forward to rescue him, but Dian Wei directly placed the blade of his iron halberd on Yan Gang's neck, and those White Horse Volunteers dared not move.

Afterwards, Dian Wei brought Yan Gang directly to Lu Cheng, threw Yan Gang to the ground, clasped his fists and bowed: "My lord, I have fulfilled your mission."

Lu Cheng nodded and looked at Yan Gang on the ground: "Yan Gang, let me ask you, is it you who wants to challenge me, or is it that Gongsun Zan wants to test me?"

Yan Gang hesitated for a moment: "It's me!"

Lu Cheng snorted coldly: "Go back and tell Gongsun Zan not to make trouble out of nothing. Dian Wei, let him go."

Seeing that Lu Cheng did not embarrass him, Yan Gang stood up and clasped his fists and bowed: "Thank you, Governor. Yan Gang takes his leave!"

After Yan Gang left, Dian Wei asked, "My Lord, are you just going to let him go?"

"This man led the White Horse Volunteers to occupy the Xianbei in the north, and he also ensured the safety of the people in that area. This time, I will spare his life."

After sending Yan Gang away, the rest of the journey went smoothly and Gongsun Zan's troops did not show up.

After passing Youbeiping County and entering Liaoxi County, troops from Liaodong came to greet them along the way.

Although Liaodong has not yet occupied Liaoxi County, Liaodong has already completely infiltrated Liaoxi County, and officials in various cities have either sided with Liaodong or been sidelined.

After entering western Liaoning, the people from Liaodong felt like they were back home.

After passing through western Liaoning and entering Tuhe City, you will see a completely different scene.

Looking at the bustling scene in the city, the smiles on the faces of the people, and the children playing and fighting in the alleys, Guo Jia, Lu Su and others couldn't help but marvel: "I think even the capital Luoyang has never seen such a peaceful scene."

"Yes, Kyoto may be more prosperous. But this place is full of vitality. The shops along the street are full of people coming and going, and the restaurants and teahouses are full of laughter. The prosperous scene is even better than Jianghuai."

"I have heard for a long time that Liaodong is prosperous and peaceful. Seeing it today, it is indeed true."

Not to mention Lu Su and others, even the young and strong people who followed were infected by the atmosphere here, and they felt more yearning for Liaodong.

It was already late autumn and early winter, and the autumn harvest had been completed in all parts of Liaodong. Every household had a lot of surplus grain, enough to last for more than a year.

Moreover, there were official grain purchasing points in various parts of Liaodong. If people had uneaten grain at home, they could sell it to the purchasing points in exchange for money to purchase various daily necessities.

The grain prices at grain purchasing points are set by the government and will not let the people suffer losses.

Moreover, every city in Liaodong has its own workshop, where people can go to work and earn extra income to supplement their family expenses.

Every year, each city has a lot of work to do in terms of water conservancy construction, city wall repair, ditch digging and canal digging, which also provides many jobs for the people.

Even during the long winter, some women who have nothing to do can learn some skills like knitting sweaters and making insoles through training, and take on odd jobs to earn money.

Since the occupation of Buyeo, Goguryeo and many other territories, Liaodong's breeding industry has also been vigorously developed, and many side businesses have spawned it.

For example, there are workshops that make wool into yarn and blankets, workshops that pickle bacon and cured meat, and workshops that process leather.

These workshops not only provided more material supplies for the Liaodong military and civilians and enriched the market materials, but also provided many jobs for the people, allowing them to store grain and save money at home, thus further driving economic development.

Of course, there are also many official iron smelting workshops, salt making workshops, glass workshops, etc.

In terms of economic development, Liaodong has been ahead of the entire Han Dynasty for many years.

As the group continued to go deeper into Liaodong, Guo Jia, Lu Su, Xi Zhicai and others also gained a deeper understanding of Liaodong, and were more fully prepared to assist their lord in building Liaodong in the future.

As for military generals such as Dian Wei and Xu Chu, they were more interested in the various stir-fried dishes and meals in Liaodong, and they ate as they walked.

When they returned to Xiangping, many people had gained several pounds.

However, the weather in Liaodong was not very friendly to Lu Su, Zhou Tai and others from the Jianghuai region, especially some of their family members. Many of them caught colds after entering Liaodong.

Fortunately, Lu Cheng had made preparations in advance and personally prepared a lot of medicines, which basically cured the disease.

After arriving in Xiangping, Lu Cheng immediately asked people to settle this group of people.

Although Liaodong is bitterly cold, almost all houses in Xiangping City are equipped with kangs, so the indoor temperatures are still quite warm.

After settling the staff, Lu Cheng immediately issued orders to all places, summoning civil and military officials from Liaodong to prepare for a meeting to reallocate work.

At this time, Lu Cheng already had a number of talented people under his command, and many of them had their names recorded in history books.

Among them, the civil officials include: Guo Jia, Lu Su, Tian Feng, Tian Yu, Man Chong, Xi Zhicai, etc.

The generals include: Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Zhang Liao, Taishi Ci, Zhou Cang, Li Dian, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Liao Hua, Xiahou Lan, etc.

In addition, there is the great scholar Cai Yong, who is in charge of educational matters.

When all the civil and military officials gather together, it can be considered a gathering of talented people...
