It was noon, and the sky was clear. On the top of the mountain where the three flying cars fluttered, there were also three identical flying cars floating above the sea to the south. The Wansheng army of more than 10,000 people has all arrived and occupied the place where the Jin people were originally stationed.

  Zhou Nan, Gao Yuan, and Yang Keshi stood on the hill, looking around, only to see that the north was a continuous mountain, and from the foot of the mountain to the south less than six miles to the south was the sea. And the position where the three of them stood at this time was between the mountains and the sea.

  "Sure enough, as Da Lang said, it turns out that the real Yuguan is here, if you hadn't come, Yang Datou and I would still be in the dark." Gao Yuan said with a smile.

  "The terrain here is narrow, the situation is dangerous, if you build a fortress here, from the north of the mountain to the sea, build a section of the wall, it is not more than six or seven miles long, but it can resist the golden dog in the north. Even if there are no rockets or flying cars, there is no fear of a sneak attack by the golden dog. This is the real choke point! Yang Keshi first saw the military defense value here, and said with emotion.

  Zhou Nan pointed to the wilderness in the northeast and said to Yang Keshi: "Not only to build Guancheng, but also to move forward, there are hundreds of miles, all of which are in this kind of terrain, and when it is stable in the future, send a team of men and horses to capture the past, and then build Guancheng at the door of the Jin people's house." At that time, it was the golden people who should be worried. ”

  "Da Lang, why wait until later?! I can lead 10,000 horses now, and I can hit the Golden Dog's den! Yang Keshi heard that Zhou Nan had a heart, so he shouted to call him now.

  "Now is not the time," Zhou Nan said, "Now the seaside is too close to the foot of the mountain, and the land cannot be cultivated if the tide rises and falls, and it is all barren land, even if it is occupied, it is useless." ”

  Yang Keshi said disappointedly: "The golden dog has also run away, and even all parts of Pingzhou have been recovered by Shiyue and Taogu, is it time to go back to Yanjing?" ”

  "Originally, I still wanted to capture Yuguan and then go back to Ma to recover Pingzhou and Yingzhou, who knew that you and I were here with the golden dog, and the good things were taken away by Shi Yue." Gao Yuan was also quite annoyed.

  "The next step is to build a closed city here, do you two want to supervise the work here?" Zhou Nan asked with a grin.

  Gao Yuan and Yang Keshi shook their heads at the same time, although this section of the city is only six miles away, but this is not comparable to the wall of Sanssouci Village. Even if it gathers migrant workers, it will take half a year to complete. Neither of them is a person who can sink down, and they are even more afraid of being left here to do nothing every day, watching migrant workers dig stones and ram earth.

  "Let's set up camp right here!" Zhou Nan instructed, "The three prefectures of Ping, Ying, and Luan have also been recovered, and tomorrow we will send people to summon Shiyue and Taogu to come so that we can discuss the construction of Guancheng and the dispatch of troops to Yanmen." ”

  Yang Keshi and Gao Yuan thought that when they returned to Yanjing City this time, there would be nothing to do. In the north, there are four major passes: Juyong Pass, Gubeikou, Lulongsai, and Yuguan, and it is impossible for the Jin people to invade Yanjing on a large scale. To the south is the Great Song Dynasty, which has long been frightened by the Wansheng army; To the east is the vast sea, and to the west is the Taihang Mountain, which is isolated from Jinji. Then lead the troops into battle, unless the enemy is a fool.

  But Zhou Nan said that he would send troops to Yanmen, which made the two unable to react at once. After a while, Gao Yuan grabbed Zhou Nan's arm excitedly and asked repeatedly, "Do you really want to send troops to Yanmen Pass?" ”

  Yang Keshi was even more happy, after all, he was a native of the Great Song Dynasty, and out of Taihang Mountain, the farther west, the closer to his hometown. According to Yang Keshi's current thoughts, Zhou Nanken sent troops to capture Guanzhong.

  Zhou Nan nodded, and didn't say much, sending troops to capture Yanmen Pass was something he thought about when he was in Bianjing, and if he really wanted to send troops, he naturally had to discuss with Yu Liyan and the ministers of the DPRK and China, "Right now, it's about repairing and garrisoning Guancheng, and the rest, let's talk about it after returning to Beijing." ”

  Yang Keshi had already calculated for Zhou Nan: "Da Lang, if you want to build the city as soon as possible, you must also recruit the people of the nearby states to come and complete it as soon as possible." Otherwise, although the terrain here is dangerous, there is no Guancheng to rely on, just relying on the camp, the golden dog can come to sneak attack from time to time. When I was in Yuguan City, Brother Gao and I often harassed the golden dogs, and we couldn't be at peace. ”

  "This place is the closest to Yingzhou and Pingzhou, so let's recruit the people of these two states. Tomorrow, when someone is sent to order Tao Gu and Shi Yue to come, they will also call the governors and county orders of the prefectures and counties of these two states. Zhou Nan said to Yang Keshi.

  Now it is the middle of February, according to the seasonal solar terms, if it is in the Central Plains, spring ploughing will begin. But it's still cold here. If you want to see the scene of spring blossoms, it will take a few days. Although Zhou Nan has not been easy since the beginning of the year, in order to seek a stable and solid territory. But now that the four realms are stable, Zhou Nan still can't settle down in his heart, just like a painter, he already has a general idea in his heart, and in the face of the canvas that has been spread, he can't resist the urge to splash ink at all.

  If you have the territory and the people, you have to think about how to increase your strength. The strength has been enhanced, the people can be fed, clothed warmly, and have hope for life, so they will naturally be able to attract people and return to them for hundreds of miles.

  And he should also calm down and think about how to improve the combat power of the Wansheng Army. Rockets and flying cars that anyone can build with just these principles will be stolen and learned sooner or later.

  There is also Zhou Nan overturned the previous idea of sticking to the pass and running Yanjing, this time he decided to send troops to Yanmen Pass, not only to isolate the Jin people and the Great Song Dynasty, the main reason is that the sulfur needed to make rockets is given by the Great Song Dynasty, but there will always be a day when it will be used up, if the Great Song Dynasty refuses to give it, the firearms he relies on will really become burning sticks.

  You still have to go out and find the supplies you need. Zhou Nan vaguely remembered that in the Northern Song Dynasty, most of the sulfur was bought from Japanese islands, and there was no natural sulfur mineral land in the Central Plains.

  Do you want to hit the Japanese islands? Zhou Nan couldn't help but be a little moved.

  However, it is said that during the Northern Song Dynasty, the development of the Japanese island was uneven, and it can be said that it was a deformed society that was completely disconnected from top to bottom. At that time, the only civilized city was Kyoto, and the rest of the country was a poor area for the old and the young. Even His Majesty the Emperor's name is "Emperor Ichijo", "Emperor Sanjo", and "Emperor Go-Suzaku", and it is said that the local nobles used mercury powder to their faces to whiten it, so it is conceivable that the islands of Japan at this time did not have much attraction except for silver and sulfur.

  Even if it is to send troops to capture the Japanese island, it should not be difficult, and the gap in weapons and equipment is sometimes really not something that can be filled by the number of people alone. What Zhou Nan cares about the most is the Yanmen Pass in the future.
