Li Xin is indeed not in the Great General's Mansion these days, because he is busy with other things! As the new year began to warm up, he began to focus on agriculture. After all, this era is still an era based on agriculture, and the development of agriculture is the foundation of everything else, and we have to pay attention to it!

He personally took some officials into the field to take care of the crops in the field. Not only did he do this, but he also specially ordered the county commanders of the local government to do the same. This is to set a good example for the people under his rule, so that everyone can concentrate on farming and be diligent in farming!

Only in this way can we have a good harvest this year! It just so happened that last year and this year seemed to be doing well, and there were no natural disasters.

If all goes well, this year will be another bumper harvest year, which is a very good thing for restoring the vitality of the Huashan army.

Therefore, when Tu Qi took Zhou Tong and his party to find Li Xin, they saw him in the fields outside Chang'an City. At that time, there was a lot of dirt left on his shoes, and there were many officials from the General's Mansion around him, all of whom were working on the side.

Seeing that Zhou Tong and Li Erhei had arrived, Li Xin put down the work in his hand, walked to the side and cleaned it, and sat down in the resting place prepared next to him.

"The last general will wait to meet the general!" Zhou Tong and Li Erhei sighed in their hearts, and hurriedly came over to salute.

"Excuse me! A few of you have arrived, now it's time to send Zhao Ji, he is still guarding Shangluo Town, and he hasn't come back this time! If you count it, except for Liao Chuan and Liu Xiaohai, I and Zhou Tong Erhei and a few of you haven't seen each other for a long time. Especially Zhou Tong and Hu Tian, it's been more than a year, right? Li Xin bowed slightly, motioned for them to sit down too, and said.

There was nothing else here, so at this moment, Zhou Tong and the others simply sat on the ground.

"Yes! Since the destruction of Qin, Hu Tian and I have been staying in Qinzhou, and it is rare to return to Chang'an once, so I have never met the general! Zhou Tong said.

"It doesn't matter what you see, after all, you're busy for the business, but I owe you a little. It's been so long for you to come back once! This time I will come back, just some time, so you can reunite with your family! Li Xin smiled and said to everyone.

These are the most trusted generals under him, and it can also be said that most of the most elite part of the entire Huashan Army is here. Their existence is one of the main reasons that the Huashan Army has been able to expand continuously in recent years.

"I called you back this time, firstly, because I want to meet you, and secondly, there are some other things that need to be discussed with you! After all, we are not together, we are far apart, and once there is something, it is really inconvenient to contact! Li Xin waved his hand and pulled back the people around him, and then continued.

Seeing him do this, Zhou Tong and several people knew that there might be something important to say, so they hurriedly stood up again, bowed down and said, "Please give the order of the general!" ”

Li Xin nodded, and asked Tu Qi to bring over a map, which was the latest map in Li Xin's hand. Through the continuous efforts of the staff and the staff, such a detailed map has finally been produced.

On this map, not only all the places under the control of the Huashan Army are now included, but also many adjacent places are drawn. For example, the area of the Hexi Corridor to the west, the area of Hetao Shuofang to the north, and the area of Changshan, Zhao and Zhongshan to the east of the Taihang Mountains, as well as the Hanzhong region in the central and southern regions.

In short, compared to the ones that were obtained from the Fu Qin Palace, it can be said to be much more detailed.

After unfolding the map, Li Xin glanced at everyone and said, "After the end of this war, the situation we are facing has changed again. The Liangzhou and Hu tribes in the west should not dare to challenge us again in a short period of time, so for a period of time in the future, the Qinzhou area will be on the defensive. As long as the other party doesn't provoke us, then we won't touch them! ”

Let's talk about the situation in Qinzhou first, and there are only two key points, one is Zhang Qian in Liangzhou, and the other is the Hu people on the other side of the West Sea.

"The general is right, even if Zhang Qian is unwilling, it is impossible to make any new moves in a short period of time. As for the Xihai Hu clan, thanks to our successive victories over Liangzhou, as well as the benefits of salt power and school, those Qiang nobles have become more and more submissive to our Huashan army. From this point of view, as long as we don't have problems ourselves, there should be no big problem in Qinzhou! Zhou Tong has been in Qinzhou for a long time, and he knows the situation there best, so he nodded and said at this time.

"Well, the last time Hu Tian won a big victory in Haoqian County, the method he used was good. For these Hu people, we can't blindly isolate them, we have to find a way to integrate them into our Huashan army. On the one hand, this is conducive to the governance of the local area, and on the other hand, it is conducive to strengthening our own strength! By the way, all the Hu people who were recruited to participate in the operation last time will be rewarded heavily, and they will also greatly publicize their help in our Huashan Army! Speaking of this, Li Xin thought of what Hu Tian said in the official document, and explained.

"Yes, the last general will definitely get this matter done as soon as possible!" This matter was planned by Hu Tian, and he naturally couldn't get out of it, so he hurriedly responded at this time.

"One more, it's the two counties of Yuanwei and Xuanjuan! Needless to say, these two counties are both important and must be strengthened and repaired as soon as possible! In addition, I have already decided that on the Jincheng side, after the Anyuan Fort is built, Lingju County to the east of Haokan will be restored. And in the southern part of the county, Sanshui County, which was abandoned in the past, has also been restored! Li Xin pointed to two places on the map and said.

Lingju County is located in the Reverse Water River Valley, located in the eastern part of Haokang County and the northern part of Jincheng County. This county was originally set up in the Western Han Dynasty, but it was slowly abandoned later. Otherwise, when Zhang Ju's soldiers and horses went south, it would have been impossible to directly station troops at the mouth of the Reverse River.

If this county town recovers, it means that the road to the south of the Hexi Corridor will have another fortress in addition to Gulangxia Pass and Anyuan Fort. If you go east, you will have to pass through Yuanwei County.

Similarly, Sanshui County was also established in the Han Dynasty, and later slowly abandoned. Its location is in the southeast of Aojuan County, northwest of Xiaoguan, and it is located on the south side of Xiaoluo Mountain. If you look at it from a distance, it happens to be located in the middle of the area between the county and the Xiaoguan.

If Sanshui County is restored, it will mean that the distance between Xuanjuan County and Xiaoguan is more than 300 miles shortened a lot. Especially from the point of view of defense, connecting the county with Xiaoguan is like a pearl necklace, blocking the road from the southwest to the pass in the Hetao area.

Both of these places are obvious on the map, and for Zhou Tong, the situation in this place is relatively clear. Everyone present is a person who knows the soldiers, so the significance of the existence of these two counties is naturally clear at a glance.

"What does the general mean, is it intended to connect Anyuan Fort, Yuanwei County, Xuanjuan County, Sanshui County and Xiaoguan?" Li Erhei asked.

If you look at it from the map, there is indeed a curve that can be drawn in this way, starting from Anyuan Fort in the west, ending at Xiaoguan in the east, crossing the Yellow River in the middle, and stretching for more than 1,000 miles from east to west.

The places within this line are now the territory of the Huashan Army, and outside the line, there are either Liangzhou or the Hu people in the Hetao area.

Although it is only a few points, it is not like the construction of the Great Wall, which is too huge. But for the defense of the Huashan Army, it can play a huge role.

As long as the middle is properly arranged, if the enemy wants to attack from this direction in the future, he will inevitably not be able to escape the ears and eyes of the Huashan army.

"Not bad! Take these places as a base, and then choose a suitable place in the surrounding area, and establish beacon warning facilities, so that if there is a change in one place, all places can get early warnings! Li Xin nodded and said lightly.

His words immediately made everyone ponder, and after thinking about it, they all had to admit that in today's situation, this is indeed the best way. So, no one raised any objections!

"As for the line from Xiaoguan to Luguan, the facilities that should have been established in the past, so I won't say much about it this time. The problem now is that those places east of Luguan were at the beginning of the war with Zhang Ping, and our strength was not enough, so they stopped at the ferry in the north of Yuandu County. This time, the annexed states were all in our hands, and the Xiongnu were also defeated. Let's take the opportunity to expand a little more! Seeing that no one had an opinion, Li Xin pointed to another place and said.

The places he said are actually the large ~ places on both sides of the Yellow River north of Yan'an County and east of Luguan. This area is very vast, and some of it is the land of the original Shangjun, and most of it is the land of the former Xihe County.

With the current strength of the Huashan Army, even if it eliminated Zhang Ping's forces and defeated the Huns, it would not be able to project the military force ~ into the entire Shangjun and Xihe County. But take half of them, and that shouldn't be a problem. To do this, part of it depends on strength, and part of it depends on prestige.

"According to the general's wishes, how should we adjust the deployment?" Shao Zisong is often here, and he is most familiar with the situation there, so he asked.

"We must form a line and put both sides of the river in our hands! In this way, whether it is for Shangjun, Beidi County and other places, or for Taiyuan, Pingyang, Xihe and other counties, there are great benefits! Li Xin drew a short line on the map and said in a deep voice.
