"After General Guo Wei conquered Hezhong City and recovered the three towns of Hexi, his merits are incomparable, and there are not too many rewards from the saints today, and there are generals stationed in the north, and General Guo's Hedong Army can only be stationed in Yedu, so it is as we expected!"

Guo Chongtao talked eloquently and analyzed carefully,

"After that, it will be a game between the DPRK and General Guo, if at this time, the general is not involved in the affairs of the north, and he is determined to go north and compete with the Khitan, so that he will not have a bad relationship with General Guo, and he can also win the reputation of the north!"

"Oh!?" Liu Feng pondered silently, what Guo Chongtao said was exactly what he thought in his heart, he didn't want to meddle in the affairs of the Han Dynasty and China at this time, first, he wanted to avoid being dragged into the quagmire of war, and secondly, when the industry under his rule did not reach the level of the first industrial revolution, he never wanted to have trouble with Guo Wei and others.

After a long time, Liu Feng slowly spoke: "But the situation of the Khitan is not something that my Fanyang Mansion can fight!" ”

In this way, it shows the traces of the heart, and then the development direction of Fanyang Mansion is not to the south, but to the north, but this is also the proper meaning, Fanyang Mansion is not a lot of ethnic groups, to the north, to the more suitable.

"The new Khitan emperor Yelu Ruan's internal affairs are not repaired, and the battle for the throne has not yet dissipated, and the control of Liaodong Mobei is insufficient, although it is large, but if it can hit its center and mess up the frontier, it will definitely be effective!" Yuwen Jiayou has a thorough understanding of Khitan internal affairs, so he built a way,

When Liu Feng and Guo Chongtao heard this, they looked at each other, and their shock was full of suspicion, everyone in the world knows that the Khitan is strong, ahead of the world, but when it comes to Yuwen Jiayou's mouth, it seems to be vulnerable.

Seeing this, Yuwen Jiayou continued: "The Khitan people, no more than a million, are all soldiers, but in the battle array, the fierce soldiers are only tens of thousands, and because of the villagers of other ethnic groups under the rule of the Khitan, they have been oppressed for a long time and live in hardship, so they have deep grievances!" ”

"And the Khitan's method of maintaining the abundance of the treasury is to go south to plunder every year, and now we are stationed in the three passes of the north, and do not teach the Khitan to go south, so that the Khitan will squeeze other people under its rule again, and it will be ...... at that time."

The information revealed in the words is self-evident, and if the oppression is extreme, you can only resist.

Guo Chongtao continued: "At that time, the general only needs to send a general to lead a group to Mobei, Liaodong in the eastern region of the Sea Wolf Camp, so that the Khitan will be set aside on the fire!" ”

"Two talents!" Liu Feng was amazed, and then his words changed, and he asked: "Then at this time, how to treat the Qingzhou Pinglu Army?" ”

Hearing this, Guo Chongtao smiled and said nothing, looking unfathomable, Yuwen Jiayou looked thoughtful!

……

When Liu Feng and others were discussing how to deal with the Qingzhou Pinglu Army, Deng Jieyu, who was stationed in Qizhou, had already launched an operation, and under such a tense situation, Deng Jieyu was extremely calm.

With Hucheng going down the canal and the materials transported as a guarantee, Deng Jieyu completely let go of his hands and feet, and did not take the Pinglu army in his eyes at all.

And in the city to watch such as Lu Chong and others, although accepted the post of Fanyang Mansion, but still in Cao Ying's heart in Han, unreliable, but then Deng Jieyu started a series of projects, and promulgated the land policy.

Let the Qizhou squire Annai led by Lu Chong not stop.

The city of Qizhou is booming, repairing and raising the city, cleaning up the canal sediment, renovating the road from Qizhou to Hucheng, etc., the villagers of the whole Qizhou are busy, and they almost forget that they are the villagers under the rule of Qingzhou.

Qizhou and Cizhou Hucheng and other places are not far apart, and the news between each other has never been cut off, and the squires of Qizhou often hear news about Liu Feng, but most of them are negative news.

However, they also envy the tax management of Fanyang Mansion, as a city on the banks of the canal, Qizhou's commerce and trade are far more developed than the three counties of Fanyang Mansion, and the traders with slightly more active brains have already aimed at the output of Yucheng, Cizhou, Hucheng and other places.

But what Liu Feng did, in Lu Chong, was tantamount to Guo Wei, the second Hedong Army, and after the Fanyang Mansion Army occupied Qizhou, the strict military discipline won the favor of the villagers of Qizhou at once, and even the Qizhou battalion of the Qizhou soldiers often bullied the villagers of Qizhou.

Moreover, Deng Jieyu is also very easy to get along with, abandoning his county guard, he actually commanded a group of officials, and completely operated the functions of the yamen, and the villagers of Qizhou participated in the construction of various projects, and the enthusiasm was unprecedentedly high.

It is as if the Fanyang Mansion Army is their main master, and it is obvious that the Fanyang Mansion Army has won the hearts of the people of Qizhou.

As the county guard of Qizhou City, he is undoubtedly very familiar with Qizhou City, but now, as long as he is not in the city for three days, the environment he is familiar with has changed, the city wall street defense measures, etc., after Deng Jieyu mobilized 50,000 villagers in the city, all this is changing day by day.

The three-zhang high city wall has become five zhang high in ten days, which is definitely not good news for the Qingzhou Pinglu Army, and for the villagers who are extremely insecure and live in Qizhou City, they are still very happy, after all, such a high and strong city can still bring them a great sense of security.

Lu Chong even found on the city wall that the catapults in the shape of the military monsters of Fanyang Mansion were far simpler than their catapults, but they were extremely complex in structure.

Although he is a little sparse in the army, how can he not understand the advantages of Fanyang Mansion's catapult as shrewd.

The catapult was originally a bulky piece of equipment, and in order to be able to throw stone projectiles, it required at least a dozen people to work together to pull up the counterweight iron at the end of the boom, or use a large winch to pull up the large iron block.

Twenty trebuchets require hundreds of people to operate, plus the mechanical maintenance of transporting stone bullet materials, and twenty trebuchets require nearly 1,000 people to work together.

However, the catapult in the Yang Mansion only needs eight people, and it can be operated properly, which greatly accelerates the projection rate of stone projectiles, not to mention that the shooting accuracy of the ballista is far greater than that of the counterweight catapult.

Driven by curiosity, he climbed the city tower and approached the catapult of Guanfu, but the army of Fanyang Mansion standing guard did not stop him at all.

Liu Mouchong, who was on duty at the head of the city, greeted him, beat his chest and gave a military salute, and smiled Chong, although he was a sour Confucian, but after all, Lu Chong was a temporary county guard, and the necessary respect was still necessary.

And at this moment, Lu Chong didn't care whether Liu Mu was rude or not, and couldn't help but ask: "What is this?" ”

Liu Mu didn't have the slightest intention of concealing it, and said briskly: "Torsion ballista!" ”

When Lu Chong heard this, he was very interested and asked, "Torque?" ”

Liu Mu smiled a little contemptuously and said, "I don't know the details of this, these are all developed by my family's envoys and craftsmen!" ”

Lu Chong's eyes were shining, and he asked, "Was it developed by the craftsmen commanded by Lord Jun?" ”

Liu Mu said proudly: "Of course, Lord Jun is a master of the Northland!" ”

Lu Chong nodded when he heard this, and no longer spoke, but his heart was turbulent, and he couldn't help but have a new understanding of Liu Feng.
