The first heavy snow in the 27th year of the Han Dynasty came, and after Liu Feng took charge of the three counties and eighteen counties of Fanyang Prefecture, there was a great improvement in just two months. （）

Fanyang Fuzhi, Yucheng.

But it is not what it used to be, it is no longer an ordinary Wu Fort, here is the old nest of the North Magnetic State Army, although it has snowed in winter, but the pedestrians on the street are not a little less, and they are still busy.

Liu Feng, who returned from the Qiang camp, was receiving in the conference hall, and the relatives from the grassland, after the musket of the Qiang camp, he wanted to solve the output of steel, but he was brought back to Yucheng by the news that there were believers visiting the grassland from Yucheng.

After repelling the attack of the Zhaoyi army and recovering the three passes in the north, Liu Feng was in the rear, and had been urgently preparing to resist the Khitan army going south to retaliate, but he never thought that the Khitan army had never gone south, so it gave Liu Feng a chance to breathe, but how could the cautious Liu Feng be so gullible about the dynamics of the Khitan army.

So he sent, the freshly baked "guards", went to the grassland to investigate, but his carefully selected guards did not disgrace him, and returned with the grassland caravan in Yucheng in less than a month, and returned with the caravan in Yucheng, as well as the people and horses of the relatives on the grassland.

……

Yucheng, in the chamber.

After learning the news that the Khitan army could not go south this year due to internal struggle for the throne, everyone talked in detail and had a relaxed and happy atmosphere. Liu Feng was also relieved, he gambled this time, it was half right, he knew that even if he had three levels to resist, but his troops were too weak, there were not enough elite soldiers, even if there was a dangerous city, it was impossible to defend it.

But he had to bet that whether to win or not to win the three passes, he had to face the Khitan army head-on, and if he didn't take the three passes, he would lose even the advantage of geography, so he agreed with Guo Wei's idea of the Hedong Army with some desperateness.

And now he can relax a little, and everyone is relaxed, after all, two months of intense and busy, not everyone can afford it, Liu Feng knocked on the table, attracted everyone's attention, and said slowly: "In the past two months, everyone has really worked hard, but then we can't be too relaxed, even this winter, the Khitan army will no longer go south, but the villagers of Xingzhou and Jizhou Erzhou are waiting to be fed, and the Khitan army is not beaten by us and has no power to fight back, I want to come next year they will go south, There will never be more than 100,000 sergeants like this year! ”

With Liu Feng's words, the council hall became a little heavy again, it seems that joy is always short-lived, the enemy is still there, and the Khitan mountain will always oppress those of them who live in the north, which is also the reason why more and more villagers are moving south.

Deng Junliang also bowed his head and said: "What the general said is reasonable, next year will be another bitter battle!" Everyone was also embarrassed!

Liu Yandong was a little unconvinced, and questioned a little: "Mr. Deng, is it a little majestic?" ”

Deng Junliang sighed, shook his head and said: "Lord Liu, this is just the worst plan, the general and I are reminding everyone to be ready to prepare for the Khitan wolf to ride south next year, besides, we are prepared, and we are not afraid of the Khitan army going south!" ”

Liu Feng asked with some interest, "What is the best way to teach me?" ”

"There are indeed a few strategies to offer to the general!" Deng Junliang paused, and said slowly: "First, to completely stabilize and unify the two counties of Xingzhou and Jizhou, only if we completely control the villagers of the three counties of Xingzhou and Jizhou, grant them land, collect their taxes, and levy their service, can we have enough troops, financial resources, and civilian power to be able to fight with the Khitan army." ”

Deng Junliang's thinking is very clear, in a word, Liu Feng, the young Fan Yang Jiedu envoy, although in just over two months, has roughly controlled the land of the three counties, but the lack of sergeants, officials, officials, etc., has caused too many bandits and bandits under his rule to not belong to Wu Bao, claiming to be the overlord of one side.

Liu Feng knew what Deng Junliang said in his heart, and said: "The land of the three counties is under our rule, we must do our best to govern, and we must not let the villagers be disappointed in my Fanyang Mansion!" Don't know what to do? ”

After speaking, he gestured to Deng Junliang.

Deng Junliang said again: "The mountain ** trouble in the two counties of Xingji is nothing more than the villagers and soldiers, two kinds of people, the villagers are thieves, most of them are forced by hunger and cold, and the soldiers are thieves, and they are all remnants of the army. As long as you open up to those villagers, grant them land, suppress those sergeants and brutal people, and do not have too many evil deeds, forgive their sins, and become miners! ”

When everyone in the hall heard this, they nodded their heads and said good!

Deng Junliang sighed: "The second thing is to build water conservancy and implement agricultural tuntian and military tuntian!" Let the villagers under his rule have land to plow and have food to eat, so that they can follow the general stably! ”

"We also need to build roads and dams!" Liu Feng added,

Deng Junliang shook his head when he heard this, and seeing that everyone was confused, he explained mysteriously: "The general's meaning, you will be able to know it in the future!" ”

Then he said: "Third, the lesson of the front car, the division of the rear car, the Zhaoyi army dares to risk the disapproval of the world and come to see the opportunity to sneak attack my Yucheng, and the Southern Tang garrison will not be able to attack and disturb the south of my Yucheng!" Therefore, we have to reconcile with Nantang! ”

"There is a point in that! We can't fight at the north and south ends, but, who will go to the Southern Tang? Liu Feng said

"This time I went to the Southern Tang Dynasty, I can't send an envoy in the name of Fanyang Mansion, but I have to visit the important ministers of the Southern Tang Dynasty in private, so as not to let the court hear about it and blame us!" Deng Junliang suggested with a smile.

Liu Feng nodded thoughtfully.

Yi! Even Guo Wei, who is as strong as the Hedong Army, does not dare to offend half a point in front of righteousness, although in this era of bad etiquette, he is called king everywhere, but if he is a courtier, he does not know the righteousness, he will still be blamed by the villagers.

Liu Yandong nodded as if he didn't understand, and said, "What about the fourth?" ”

Deng Junliang said: "Fourth, it is necessary to guard against the Hedong Army!" ”

Everyone was a little surprised, and Liu Feng also smiled and asked, "Where do you say this?" We have always been friendly with the Hedong Army! I have never fought against each other! ”

Deng Junliang shook his head and said: "You can't have the heart to hurt people, and you can't have the heart to defend people!" The Later Han Dynasty appointed the general as the envoy of Fanyang Mansion, in fact, he wanted the general to resist the Khitan army, but there was no intention of restricting General Guo, you must know that the Hedong Army and our forces are intertwined. ”

After saying this, he continued: "Most of my army resisted the Khitan army in the three passes of the north, and the rest of the army was either stationed in Xianghe Mountain or stationed in various important places, but our inland air defense is too much, if the Hedong army has bad intentions, as long as it takes a day and night, it will be able to take a few cities!" ”

Liu Feng was already worried about this, but fortunately, the Hedong army was still entangled with the rebels of the Three Towns, so he put his mind at ease, and at this moment Deng Junliang mentioned it, so that he had to ponder.
