reunited with their families for a few days, and strengthened their relationship with Xiao Qiao, Zhen Mi and others, Cai Yan and Zhang Ning also put down their work and came to Huaguo Mountain to be their good wives and mothers.

Xu Ding saw that the days were getting closer and closer to the end of the year, so he issued an order to recruit Wenchen, who was scattered all over the place and worked outside all the year round.

Guo Jia, who is in charge of intelligence work and can work anywhere, was the first to arrive.

"My lord! There were some changes in Yangzhou, and Sun Jian took Lujiang and launched a war against the three Zhou brothers without recuperation. Guo Jia wrote down the recent situation in Yangzhou on the letter, which contained detailed information.

Xu Ding took it and swept it, and then said: "Xu Gong has gone to fight the meeting, it seems that Wu County still needs our people to control it." ”

After speaking, Xu Ding looked at Xu Shu on the side and said, "Yuan Zhi, what kind of bad idea did you say Pang Tong, this kid is fighting." ”

Xu Shu, as a friend of Pang Tong, thought for a while and said: "Lord, Shiyuan is a person who likes to take risks, is easy to use dangerous tricks, and is prone to extremes, I guess he may want to take advantage of Xu Gong's war with Zhou Qiao to attack Zhou Qiao's rear, so as to take advantage of the meeting." ”

"So this Pang Tong wants to cross the mountains from Yuzhangyue and go east through the land of Shanyue to enter Huiji." Guo Jia's mind had already engraved the map of the Great Han, and as soon as Xu Shu said it, he thought of the route of Pang Tong's troops.

I couldn't help but sigh, this Pang Tong really dares to play.

Entering the Huiji from there, this is undoubtedly a mountain of knives, and it is really a dangerous step to step with death.

"If you don't die, you won't die, don't worry about Yangzhou, as long as you control Wu County and hold the mouth of the river, the rest is just temporary, let them fight for it." Xu Dingzhi didn't agree with Pang Tong's method very much, although he also likes to take risks and often fights in light disguise, but that's because he has this strength, can control the danger factor, and has enough life-saving methods.

Soon, Man Chong, Sun Qian, Juan Pei, Xi Zhong, Fu Zhu, Wang Xiu, Xu Yi, He Kui, Cheng Yu, Tian Feng and others all arrived from all over the country.

"In recent years, everyone has worked hard, with the establishment of Pingzhou, the takeover of Qingzhou, the burden on everyone's shoulders is getting heavier day by day, here I will give you a ten-day holiday, after the meeting is over, we will reunite with our families, and strive to carry forward our cause in the coming year, and do better and better." Xu Ding raised his glass and looked at the nearly twenty henchmen and ministers below, and then drank it all in one gulp.

Everyone stood up and raised their glasses and said: "It is not hard to follow the lord, it is not hard to establish oneself for heaven and earth, to establish one's life for the people, not to work hard for the saints to continue to learn, and not to work hard for the world." ”

After speaking, everyone also drank it all.

It's been a long time since so many people have gathered together to drink.

There are people they used to know very well, and there are people they have never met.

Take this opportunity to get acquainted with each other or further strengthen your relationship.

"Our team has grown, I believe there are many new faces, you have not seen them, and then everyone will introduce themselves one by one, I will not introduce them to you." When the team is large, it is easy to form a small group and it is easier to disperse, so Xu Ding will recruit everyone back, and take advantage of the atmosphere of the New Year to hold an annual meeting for them, in addition to knowing each other, but also to eliminate some hidden dangers.

Guo Jia was the first to stand up, raised his glass and said: "Everyone, I am the laziest person under the name of the lord Guo Fengxiao from Yingchuan, I hope you can cooperate with my work more in the future, here I will first take a sip to suppress the shock!" ”

"Hahaha, Bonghyo, you guy just want to take the opportunity to drink more!"

I have to say that Guo Jiakai's head is excellent, and the atmosphere is quite active and relaxed, which attracted everyone's laughter and sideways glances for a while.

Guo Jia is in charge of the Tianluo Net, and his name is full of spies and various action groups, both external and internal.

The location is important, and the deterrent is great.

The slightest disturbance will reach him, especially in his own jurisdiction.

So this is extremely feared by everyone.

Guo Jia can talk and laugh so much, which naturally relieves the pressure on everyone.

Next, everyone introduced themselves one by one, just like a new student at the beginning of school, the first time they arrived at a school, and the class teacher asked everyone to stand up and introduce themselves.

"Good! At present, whether you are cooked or not, you have cooked it, and since it is cooked, then serve it and eat it, and we will talk while eating. ”

"Uh...... Cooked! ”

"Hehe, it's still the lord's funny, well, I'm not cooked yet, I can't eat it yet, Fengxiao, are you ripe!"

"It's not cooked, it's not cooked, I can't eat it, Yuanzhi, you are cooked, don't you ......"

Soon the wine passed three rounds, the dishes passed five flavors, and everyone was full of food and drink.

Before that, everyone talked more about the summary report, and there were opinions on some of the situation reports of the prefectures and counties under the autonomy, and the insufficient reviews were taken out to share the useful ones, and they learned from each other and exchanged progress.

"Okay, let the past pass, our hope in the future, let's discuss the next direction and strategy of our development, and you can say whatever you want to say." Xu Dingyi waved his hand and asked people to clean up the table, remove the wine and meat, and serve tea, melons and fruits.

"My lord, I'll talk about the north first, now the Handong Protectorate is still short of manpower, our future direction is to develop the Handong Protectorate into a major grain production base for our side, for this basic grain production, to ensure the food supply of our army, there are two things I think need to do the most.

The first is to destroy the Buyeo country, clear the north, and create a peaceful and stable living environment, so it is necessary to invest more new Japanese troops to let them enter the mountains and forests to fight and reclaim the land.

The second is to build roads, shorten the contact time with Liaodong County, and enhance the ability to transfer troops, so I hope to get more cement approvals, and it is best to obtain an engineering army to spread the road and city construction of the capital of Handong to our Handong. Tian Feng was the first to stand up and say.

The jurisdiction of the Eastern Handong Protectorate is too large, equivalent to a state of land, and there are countless mountains and forests, the great plains are very large, and the large mountains are also very large.

Road conditions and climate are the biggest factors restricting the Handong Metropolitan Protectorate.

Tian Feng did not mention the climate, because this can only be overcome, and cannot be improved for the time being.

In the same way, he wants to transfer all the resources he can to the cement and engineering teams to improve road conditions and traffic and obtain the probability of passing.

"Yuan Hao, we all understand your difficulties, the road needs to be repaired, but there are only remnants of the country left on the side of the Handong Protectorate, as long as you continue to invest troops, it will be eliminated sooner or later.

But the whole Handong is too big, it is not realistic to connect all parts of the country with cement hardened roads, and there is not so much financial resources to support, now Qingzhou and Pingzhou are developing all over the country, cement is a must, especially the next road optimization of Xuzhou and Youzhou, it will be a big project, the demand is more, it is really not possible to squeeze out the Handong Duhufu. ”

Although the cement technology is its own, the factory can produce it and use it, and there is almost no middleman to earn the difference.

But the cost is always needed, and the artificial material still needs money.

This is also a gold-swallowing beast that is always losing money, so Mao Jue, the general manager of money and grain, stood up and vetoed this proposal.
