Huguan official road. Ma Heng, who went to pick him up, met Zhang Xian and the others who were released. The bandits didn't embarrass them, on the contrary, they were willing to accept the adaptation, but they needed some time.

"They didn't embarrass you, did they? If it's difficult, I'll attack immediately and make them look good, our Republican army is not that easy to mess with. Ma Heng looked at Zhang Xian and said.

"Sir. Nothing, nothing. It's all good, in such a situation, we will be fine, and, most importantly, the red lady they expressed their willingness to accept our adaptation, which is a good start. Zhang Xian said with a smile.

"What?" Ma Heng looked at this operational staff officer who had just arrived and had not yet reported.

"Sir, the Red Lady, they have already brought our request. They are willing to accept the adaptation, but it will take some time, and in this situation, we should give them some time to think about it. Zhang Xian said.

"Oh." Ma Heng was surprised, it seems that the commander above did not send some officers who can't do things here. Ma Heng is still worried that the other party may not cooperate in the work, which will take some time, but now it seems that this situation does not need to be too worried. Because the other party solved a big problem for them as soon as he came, and who to send to negotiate, Ma Heng has always been very troubled by this matter. He knew too well what kind of people his men were, and went. Because the things that are said will definitely be slaughtered by the bandits. However, I didn't think of it. This combat staff officer who has just arrived. It was surprising to solve such a problem all at once. Ma Heng felt very surprised, he wondered if he had picked up a treasure. Otherwise, how could he possibly get such a good combat staff officer.

"It's a surprise, it's a surprise, it's really a surprise, to be honest, I don't have anyone on hand who can solve such a problem, but now, with you, I think, this kind of thing, you solve it very well." Ma Heng said this.

"Sir, actually, there are some things I'm very worried about, mainly because of these things." The other party said.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Ma Heng is very happy, this is equivalent to solving a big hidden danger for them, and it is too late for Ma Heng to be happy.

"That's right, sir, in the process of negotiation, I used some things that should not be used, such as numbers, such things, which seems to be a little difficult for us, but if we can give them an independent number, I think their situation can still be solved, after all. Let them blend in all at once. There seems to be some difficulty. Are we going to take our time? This is a concrete situation. Zhang Xian said.

"Hmm. I still need to think about things like that, but you can submit a report. After reading the detailed explanation, I reported it to the headquarters and applied for such a number. You know, the situation of our infantry division, Taihang is a brigade in Taihang, but in fact, there are many, many local infantry regiments. And we already have two infantry brigades, and if we add another one, it will increase a lot in numbers, and the burden will also increase a lot, and the commander must think about it comprehensively. Ma Heng explained.

"Sir. Rest assured, I know all these things, I understand. Zhang Xian said.

"Hmm. It's good to understand. It's good to understand. All right. And so it did. You submit a report as soon as possible. Ma Heng said. Zhang Xian nodded. Just came here and made such a great military feat. Ma Heng was very happy that he got a baby.

Lijiazhuang. Highway to Handan. Yes, there is nothing wrong. Roads are indeed being built here. Despite the fact that it is winter, the road is smooth. And to hire a large number of nearby villages, as well as soldiers who have retired from the Yellow Turbans, which is a good thing, after all, the issue of employment has always been a big, big problem. After all, there are a large number of idle people in the base area. Especially in winter, in agrarian societies. Winter is a very special season, when a large number of labor activities stop, and the peasants are also the most idle in this season. A large number of events occur in this period, such as marriage. In order to solve the problem of the income of these people, they have taken some measures to solve some such things, such as building roads. Build a factory building and enter the factory. Of course. There are many, many things to do. Diligent people will make snacks to sell in Handan, Lijiazhuang, and nearby markets. Today's base area is very good, and every household has begun to have grain reserves.

The arms-for-food program is progressing steadily. Large quantities of food became an asset to the government. Some of this grain is deposited after it is deposited. The government actively exchanged a part of the bonds, which were mainly used to exchange the previous bonds to keep the people stockpiled. There is food in the hand. Don't panic. Only by ensuring that the people have enough to eat can most of the problems be solved.

Even if there are some people who are reluctant to redeem, for example, some families still maintain the rule of two meals a day, which is for them. This is an extremely unfavorable situation. Therefore, the government compulsorily makes the exchange compulsory. And a certain placement was given. The main thing is to let them strengthen the food stocks in their homes.

In addition, there are many more people in the war zone who need to be replenished, and they have not only received some food, but also some cloth, which gives them the confidence to survive the winter. But these are only part of the stabilization measures. Group is important to work. It is necessary to bring order in the base areas into a favorable state.

Therefore, a large number of public facilities construction into it, the first to focus on solving the road problem, from Lijiazhuang to Handan, from Lijiazhuang to the country, Huguan, the eldest son, Tunliu. and all over the northern giant deer, a large number of roads must be built. The highway uses a new type of cement brick technology, and the cement plant builds a large amount of cement to make cement bricks, so that it can be paved from here to various roads.

The highway adopts the American traffic rules. All vehicles drive on the right-hand side, and at the time of construction, a four-lane wide lane method was adopted. This is considered in advance for the purpose of meeting future combat readiness needs. It's a crazy idea. Many people think that such a wide road is a waste, but no one knows what will happen in the future.

"The roads here are very wide, it seems. The Red Turban Army is going to fight a big war in the future. Huangfu Song said as he walked on the wide road. High in the middle, low on both sides, and drainage ditches on both sides of the road. This ensures maximum road integrity. Such a path. made Huangfu Song feel very vigilant. Because this kind of road can gather a large amount of supplies in a relatively short time. Two ox carts can run in parallel on one channel, running quickly in one direction. This is a very efficient mode of transportation.

"The general sees it?" Cao Cao asked, Huangfu Song.

"If I don't see that, I don't have to fight. What I want to know is where the Red Turbans got so much food. It costs a lot to build such a road. Huangfu Song said.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Arms for food, we exchange a lot of food for a lot of arms. One artillery piece is more than 50,000 stone of grain. Cao Cao said.

"This." After listening to this, Huangfu Song was speechless for a moment. Because of such a thing. Sounds very unpleasant.

"There is such a thing." Huangfu Song said after listening.

"Actually, we don't want such a thing to happen, but the truth is, it's already happening." Cao Cao said helplessly.

"Hmm." When Huang Fusong heard this, he knew why he was doing this. The Red Turbans told Huangfu Song some of the information they knew. When he returned to Luoyang this time, the most likely place to go was Liangzhou, because the rebels there were extremely rampant. Coupled with the annihilation of the two main forces, the possibility of their attack was further aggravated, and in such a situation, Huangfu Song had to fight against the nomadic tribes in the northwest, which were all cavalry troops. Cao Cao was very worried.

"General, this battle is extremely dangerous, the Qiang tribe launched the attack, and their attack is very fast. I want to deal with them, I should hold out, use firearms to kill and injure, and avoid large-scale battles as much as possible. Cao Cao said worriedly.

"I know what you're saying. In such a situation, we can solve a lot of problems. Huangfu Song said.

"There are some things, although I am forced to do so, but I fight for my country. None of this should be taken into account. Huang Fu Song said.

"I heard that you studied such a subject in the military academy of the Red Turban Army? Is there a breakthrough? Huangfu Song asked.

"Yes. Firearms can effectively resist such an attack, but the number of firearms equipped will be very large, and the autonomy of the soldiers will become great, and I suggest that the corresponding military school should be established after returning home. Sergeant Training Course. Equipped with a large number of artillery, musketeers. Cao Cao said.

"Hmm. These are some impossible, and the cost is too great. The imperial court has run out of money and grain, and it is impossible to spend so much money and grain to buy so many artillery and firearms. Huang Fu Song said. In Huangfu Song's view, the Red Turban Army exported firearms for only one purpose, to suck blood, and they were sucking blood from the treasury and sucking away the blood of the Han Empire. And their majesty could not see such a situation. In Huangfu Song's opinion. It's already a very, very stupid trick.

"This is our destiny." Huangfu Song said.

"Forget it. Here, you can learn a little more, the future war belongs to them, learn something, be able to adapt to the war. Huangfu Song patted his shoulder and said.
