On Wuzhang Plain, directly behind the vast camp of tens of thousands of people, a camp that looks more massive is rising rapidly, which is also the first major decision made by Li Xiaofeng after arriving in Wuzhang Plain, to establish a rear army and expand logistics baggage with local materials. Just looking at the scale of the military camp after that, anyone can be sure without doubt that the Feng family army will not only fight a protracted positional war here, but also launch a large-scale battle to capture the city, because in the camp, in just a few days, two siege towers with a height of seven or eight meters have been erected.

In late April, with the change of climate and the length of the day, the Fengjia army stationed on the Wuzhang Plain was also very busy, as the vanguard of the former army Modao Army was training in the barracks all day long, and the vanguard army led by Meng Hong was to strengthen the camp and be responsible for the overall defense of the front army. In addition to daily training, the winged cavalry regiments and the lance cavalry regiments also served as scouts, and from time to time scattered several small groups of cavalry to harass and demonstrate near the surrounding small county towns that were still under the control of the pseudo-Qi.

The Chinese army led by Li Xiaofeng spent half a day training and the remaining half a day devoted himself to the construction of the rear army, and at the same time reclaimed wasteland around it and vigorously collected refugees who fled from the famine. Due to the fact that the pseudo-Qi side could not do its best to operate, for a period of time, there began to be a nearby people's people to move to the vicinity of the Fengjia army, after all, there was no tax to open the fields here, and there was also the free labor of the Fengjia army to help divert the Weishui in the north into the field for irrigation, at the same time, the people who reclaimed the wasteland in this area will also be unconditionally protected by the Fengjia army, which is fundamentally different from the situation under the jurisdiction of the pseudo-Qi, in addition to the field tax, there are all kinds of protection fees, and they only collect money and do nothing.

At the beginning of May, the large-scale Houjun camp was finally completed, but it was not a large number of soldiers or craftsmen of the Fengjia Army who lived in it, but thousands of civilians, more than half of which were still empty, and the Fengjia Army only occupied the camp in the northwest corner and the open space in it to make ordnance, and the remaining three corners were all vacant for the displaced people who came to defect one after another.

Looking at the newly built 'Houjun' camp, Li Xiaofeng and a group of generals stood on the general platform in the camp, showing mature and proud smiles on their young faces under the gorgeous sunshine.

"If you want me to see, at the end of the month at most, this camp will be full!" Yin Bo was standing on this Wuzhang Plain as the vanguard army to break through the Xieyu Pass, but now seeing the scene in front of him, and thinking about the time when he just led the army into the Wuzhang Plain a few months ago, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional, sighed, and said with a smile: "It's really unimaginable!" A few months ago, this place was almost deserted, but now there are tens of thousands of people from our Feng family's army, and thousands of people have moved in! ”

"Yes! It's unpredictable! Following Yin Bo's footsteps into Wuzhang Yuan was Lin Han, the general of the Modao Army, who took advantage of the completion of the camp today to be lazy, slightly looking up to feel the sunshine, and showing a smile on his face, squinting slightly, and taking over with a smile: "In my opinion, after this year's harvest, there will be tens of thousands of people in this Wuzhangyuan, and when the time comes, I am afraid that a small city will have to be built!" ”

"I'm afraid not in a small town! Hahaha! Although Meng Hong has reached middle age, he still has a youthful energy in his bones, especially with the group of young people around him, when he sees the creation of one miracle after another, he can't help but feel that he is also young, even if there is an age gap, but it has not affected him to join this young team at all, and his face is also full of youthful smiles: "With the strength of our Feng family's army, how can we only build a small city?" If you want to build, you have to build a big city! A big city where people come and go, so that the people nearby can live a stable life in this city! Hard work, no worries about food and clothing! ”

"General Meng's words are right! We have to make it big! Li Xiaofeng, who was surrounded by several people, smiled and spoke, turned around, looked around, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, stretched out his hand to point around, and laughed: "Hahaha!" General Meng's words really reminded me! As long as the agriculture is developed well, it is also very good to build a fortress! ”

Then everyone talked and laughed casually for a while, and then brought the topic to the current situation, Li Xiaofeng looked around at the new camp, slowly shook his head and smiled: "However, the most important thing at the moment is how to eliminate the puppet Qi rebels in Chencang County!" Everyone also understands that our military camp is just a bluff, or it won't be long before the news that we don't manufacture a large number of engineering equipment will reach the ears of the puppet Qi rebels! At that time, if the Pseudo-Qi does not fight us head-on, we can only continue to stay here, and it will not be of much benefit to the morale of our army! ”

"Indeed..." Meng Hong nodded, took over and continued: "Our army does have an absolute advantage in the current situation, but if we can't open up the situation as soon as possible, our army's grain and grass are indeed the primary problem!" Recently, several spring rains have caused the road to Baoxie Valley to be very difficult, and if the rain increases in summer, our army's grain and grass can hardly be transferred from the rear, and we can only rely on ourselves to be self-sufficient! Although our army's grain and grass can last until the first harvest, with the fields reclaimed now, it cannot support the consumption of many soldiers of our army! ”

"But, I can't help it now." Yin Bo, who had been fighting the main battle, shook his head helplessly beside him, sighed and explained: "Our army can't carry out large-scale manufacturing of engineering equipment here, and the logistics can't catch up with the supply at all!" But the puppet Qi rebels stationed in Chencang refused to fight at all! Although they also have two camps outside the city, it is difficult for our army to carry out a strong attack, in that case, our army's casualties will inevitably increase greatly! It's really not a good deal! ”

"Indeed, the current situation is very troublesome!" Mao Hao, who hadn't spoken much, nodded solemnly and added in a low voice: "If it is to attack the camp, it is more than enough with the current strength of our army!" But if you use the Modao Army and two cavalry regiments to attack the city, it will undoubtedly be a big waste! Besides, even if it is attacking the camp, it is not the strength of the Modao Army and the cavalry regiment, and it is impossible to give full play to all the combat effectiveness at all! ”

"Hey!" Li Xiaofeng also shook his head and sighed lightly after hearing this, in fact, they have discussed this issue countless times, and the only chance is that the two sides agree to a decisive battle again, and Li Xiaofeng and others also have enough confidence that they can completely defeat the rebels of Pseudo-Qi, and even take the opportunity to snatch Chencang County, control Chencang Dao, and even give the Pseudo-Qi rebels on the front line of Fengzhou from behind a fatal blow.

"Actually, actually, I think..." Among the crowd, Zhao Maozi, who joined the Feng family army at the latest, suddenly stammered, but when everyone suddenly focused all their eyes on him, Zhao Maozi's neck suddenly shrank, and for a while he even felt like he was being targeted by a group of wild wolves who had been hungry for several days, and felt a chill down his spine.
