During this time, Tong Yuan has been busy inspecting the training and combat readiness of the Tuntian Army.

As a scarce elite standing army, the Dreadnought can deal with all the surrounding forces, and can be engaged in medium-intensity battles at any time.

However, for example, the scale of the war with the old royal court of the Xiongnu, the recovery of Xihe and Shangjun, and the plot of Hetao and even the entire annexation of the state is far from being easily achieved by seven or eight thousand people in a short period of time.

Since the old Xiongnu royal court occupied a large area of Han land, he was unwilling to admit that his puppet Hu Chuquan had become Shan Yu, and dared to launch an attack to lure the Hu people in Sanfu to rebel. Then this war will have to be well arranged.

This will be the first large-scale mobilization of the Xinxi Liang Army, and it will also be an excellent stage to show its strength. Either he doesn't fight, or he shocks the world.

Of course, the timing must be right, and the fruit he cares about the most must not be destroyed.

However, he has thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in his heart, and he has to start from brick by brick.

At this time, he was arranging for Qiqi, Yaxian, Heyang, Xiayang, Puzi, Jiexiu and other counties to rest and renovate the beacon tower and fortress.

If this practice is known to the scholars and doctors of some later eras, they will scold him for working hard and hurting money. However, Tong Yuan, who has offensive strength, still arranged it like this, and personally asked about some key details.

Shen Long, the captain of the Tuntian Army's unloading department, has already taken on many positions such as engineering, digging charcoal, pouring buckets, and training troops, and he has done a good job.

At this time, the various roads north of Sanfu have been figured out, and dozens of beacon towers and more than 10 large and small fortresses have been built in the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum, Liangshan North and other places, and the Tuntian army has arranged soldiers and horses to take turns on duty in peacetime, and once there is a police, they can burn the beacon fire and transmit the message.

These facilities are generally only arranged with a few dozen people, and they may not be able to withstand strong attacks, but the terrain they are located in is also very inconvenient for the opponent's large army to attack.

Tong Yuan's main purpose in setting them up was not to defend, but to serve as an outpost for advances, and to provide daily defense for future settlements.

It is estimated that the Hedong side may become the main battlefield in the near future, and Sanfu's side will become the key to his attack and annexation of the state.

Whether it is Jia Xu, Li Ru and him exchanging correspondence, the possibility of analysis. It was still the actual contact between Wei Qi, Zhang Ji, Xu Rong and others on his side in various places that they all came to a conclusion.

The old kings of the old court of the Southern Xiongnu will be harassing this autumn. From Anding in the west to Taiyuan in the east, on a territory of thousands of miles, there are wars at any point.

And the place where the war took place must be the area of Hedong, Taiyuan, and Xihe.

Xihe County, which is close to Puzi County of Hedong County and Jiexiu County of Taiyuan County, is stationed in Zuo Xianwang, the head of the old royal court of the Xiongnu.

In addition to the distance, the Huchuquan Department stationed in Hedong County was also their main target.

The plan of the old royal court should be to beat Tong Yuan and show it to Hu Chuquan. If he is determined to follow Dong Bai and Tong Yuan, then he will have to be exterminated. As soon as Hu Chuquan died, it is estimated that a large number of the remaining subordinates will fall to the side of the old royal court.

At this time, Geng Qing went to the old royal court Zuoguo City more than ever, eager to break the treacherous Tong Yuan tomorrow.

However, the enemy's goal and timing have been basically predicted, so you can completely invite you into the urn and then smash the Yellow Dragon.

After checking the implementation of Shenlong's side, he instructed again, "At that time, the Qin Straight Road and the Han Straight Road will be restored, and I am afraid that the stones on the Qilong side will still be accumulated." ”

Shen Long said: "No problem, now we have figured out more than two hundred miles of roads to the north from Qiyi, Suyi, Xiayang and other places, and the Qiang tribes that have been oppressed by the Xiongnu are also willing to assist us." At that time, it will definitely be able to lead to Shangjun and even the Hetao at high speed. ”

Tong Yuan said: "The Hetao is estimated to be the next stage, and at present, the fortress north of the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum is rested first. There, I'm going to set up a new county where the tunns graze, farm, and mine, so the fort needs to be able to withstand the attack. ”

Shen Long replied, "Don't worry, the construction of the fortress has the personal participation of the Demolition Department, and the quality is assured." The enemy on that terrain can't be attacked by a few hundred people, and there will definitely be no place for tens of thousands of people to stand, if there are more than a thousand people, they can just send troops to attack and destroy. ”

Tong Yuan said, "Okay. At that time, there will be fewer big battles of tens of thousands of people on your side, but there will definitely be continuous skirmishes. You must protect your strength, this time you will gnaw bones over there, and you will eat meat, but you can't have too little appetite. ”

Shen Long replied, "Of course, when the time comes, the matter of restoring the big cities such as Gaonu and Diaoyin will be left to us." By the way, do you want to sell those treasures here and exchange them for some materials and equipment? ”

Tong Yuan knew that he was talking about some treasures that he had obtained in Hedong this year. The biggest role of these things in troubled times is to reward his subordinates, but he has other plans and doesn't want to squander them directly.

"These items are being sold now, and they don't make much difference," he said. I think it may come in handy in Chang'an in the future. ”

"By the way, there are also some minerals here in Shangjun, and there is even a kind of black petroleum ink mine, I don't know what it is called.

Hearing that he made a big profit like a carbon stone, Shen Long's eyes came with spirit.

He replied, "Don't worry, my lord, those novices are very scared, but the enthusiasm for mining is not low." Last winter, they had their stomachs full, burned charcoal to ward off the cold, and earned some five baht. Everybody wants to do it again. ”

Tong Yuan nodded, seeing that General Shenlong and the Dreadnought Army have no fate, but they can become an important part of the Xinxi Liang Army as an engineering army, which is also a different way to the same end.

After inspecting the project, he found Su Ze again and asked about the preparation of the personnel.

Since the worship at the Cangjie Tomb, Su Ze has been entrusted with the important task of recruiting talents, especially those who have lost their homeland.

He lived up to expectations, gathered nearly a thousand strong forces that were determined to restore his hometown, and bought back more than ten talents such as Feng Mou from the Hu people.

This year, they all worked together to plan the establishment of Yongzhou and the long-term layout, and Su Ze was famous for refuting Ma Teng and Han Sui for colluding with the Shi clan to make trouble.

It can be said that after Wei Qi, this is another child of the scholar clan who is not well-known in later generations, but has outstanding ability and is quite pragmatic.

Of course, similar to history, Su Ze will shine more brightly in Yongzhou and Liangzhou later, and has made great achievements.

At this time, Su Ze also summoned sufficient guides, explained the tasks to them, and assigned them to the corresponding military cantonments, civilian cantonments and refugees, so that they could integrate into the team of recovering and annexing the state in advance.

Tong Yuan asked, "How is the guide?" Is it possible to lead a team deep into enemy territory? ”

Su Ze replied, "Most of these people are exiles from Shangjun, and some are heroes who escaped and ransomed from the Huns. Most of them are familiar with the territory of Upper County. A small number of dozens of people live in the Hetao all the year round, and they hate the Xiongnu to the core, so there must be no problem. ”

Tong Yuan asked, "How are the statistics of the pastures that the Huns graze all year round and the town bunkers that spend the winter?" ”

Su Ze said, "At present, it can be found that the other party will drive a large number of herds to the river basins such as Weishui, Zoumashui, Xiuyanshui, and Luyanshui in the summer. These rivers are fed from west to east......"

Tong Yuan was directly dizzy even if he had a map beside him, so he went to the river to graze as a Huns.

In fact, the rivers mentioned by Su Ze just now were called Yan River, Qingjian River, Huaining River and Wuding River in later generations. Most of them have left a deep imprint on the development of Chinese civilization.

“…… When winter comes, the larger tribes will concentrate in larger cities such as Fushi and Gaonu, while the smaller tribes will gather in some towns or towns or their newly built towns. ”

"For example, our allies, the Qiang, who are mainly inhabited on the east side of Luoshui, have built a town of their own, with a wall of earth and stone specially prepared for winter. They also often set out from this town to trade with our counties. ”

Tong Yuan has an updated version of the silk map on the side, although it is a little chaotic for a while, but it can also be slowly sorted out, and according to what Su Ze said, find the above areas one by one.

There are no species of Qiang.,It's true that you can incorporate them into your own system.,Gradually Sinicized into one.。

Most of these Qiang people are tribes from primitive society to the stage of slavery, and they only have internal political power, but they do not have a real nation and state. To the extent that they are acceptable, taking the initiative to include them is a move that conforms to the trend of history, not a form of control or coercion.

They can have their own area, or they can change their habits and integrate into Han Chinese society. This is the plan of Tong Yuan, Dong Bai, Zhang Ji, Su Ze and others after discussion.

As for dividing land to organize households and people, firstly, it is not very necessary, and secondly, it is not conducive to the subsequent absorption of other Hu people.

For example, the Xiongnu Huchuquan Department operated in this way, dividing the three internal counties so that they could mainly maintain their original living habits and appropriately increase the proportion of their own participation in agricultural production rather than that of slaves.

At the same time, it absorbs people who are inferior and completely integrated into the system. This part of the people is organized according to the system of dreadnought army and military cantonment, and although the Hu people in different battalions and teams will be relatively concentrated to ensure combat effectiveness, the general trend is that the Han and Hu are mixed.

Their families can graze cattle or engage in other types of production, but their living conditions are similar to those of other military cantonment households.

In fact, they are no longer the Southern Xiongnu Zuoxian Wang Department on the surface, but the original Zuoxian Wang subordinates who began to sinicize.

Did you ever think about reviving the glory of the Huns? It may be the same as in history, but when he was in the system of the powerful Dreadnought, the Tuntian system, and Tong Yuan, this idea would be stifled by his own reason as soon as it germinated.

After Tong Yuan and Su Ze discussed the personnel preparations and some affairs in the mansion, they found Yu Poison, the general of the Tuntian Army.
