The location of the factory should also be only located along the river, because some of the manufacturing equipment invented by Ma Jun can already be driven by water power, which can free up a lot of manpower and do some work that is not as good as manpower.

Therefore, many middle-aged and elderly people and women in the three industrial areas mentioned above have been recruited into factories to participate in the production and assembly of various equipment.

Anyway, there were many jobs in that era that only required physical strength to be able to repeat labor, and did not require technology.

As a result, many jobs have been created, idle labor has been fully utilized, and more income has been added to the people.

Some military workshops with weak secrecy have been sold by the military to private individuals, which is also Lu Bu's suggestion, so as to mobilize the enthusiasm of more people, and also led to the birth of the first arms dealers.

From the very beginning, their interests were closely tied to the military's foreign expansion.

They are the vested interests in foreign wars, and they are the biggest supporters.

It is not ordinary people and ordinary families who can become the first batch of arms dealers, they are all the major chaebols in Guanzhong and Bingzhou, as well as the major families behind the Central Army.

They used a large number of slaves to farm, graze, build roads, and build water conservancy, while more Han Chinese were allowed to work in their factories.

The rising demand for slaves stimulated the growth of slave privateers, and larger and larger slave privateers appeared in the northern steppes.

They also need to procure a large amount of weapons and equipment and recruit more people.

In this way, a virtuous circle has been formed, and all walks of life are closely integrated to promote the common development of production, economy and technology.

Foreign wars and slave hunters have greatly awakened the martial spirit in the blood of the Han people, and learning martial arts and exercising since childhood has become the daily routine of many children from poor families, and joining the army or going to the grassland has become their ideal in life.

Because the 5th Cavalry Division and the 6th Cavalry Division are still far away in Qingzhou and Jizhou, although there is convenient water transportation, it will take time.

It also takes time to transport and hoard war materials, so Lu Bu decided to send reinforcements to the Dawan front in batches.

The Silk Road from the Central Plains to the Western Regions has been overhauled and expanded several times, and many sections of the road have been paved with asphalt concrete gravel roads, so the speed of personnel mobilization and material transportation has been greatly improved.

Several major military towns along the road were ready to receive and store large quantities of supplies and receive combatants, and many warehouses and barracks had been built.

As the saying goes, the army goes first before moving grain and grass, and in addition to providing the necessary troops to participate in the war, the countries in the Western Regions must also provide food, grass, and drinking water to share part of the supply problem of the central army.

However, Lu Bu also got good news from the divine doctor Zhang Zhongjing, and the divine doctor developed a very convenient and practical medicine for the army to use under Lu Bu's reminder and suggestion - marching powder.

Solving fatigue, pre-epidemic prevention and water and soil adaptation are all its effects, but it solves a big problem.

In addition, the miracle doctor also helped to make a military portable ration, which can be carried and stored for a long time, not easy to spoil, easy to digest, and can provide a certain amount of calories and nutrients.

The first batch of reinforcements consisted of Tai Shici's Ninth Division and the Tenth Cavalry Division of the Cavalry, but the Tenth Cavalry Division only went from Liangzhou to Wusun to change defenses, and only the Ninth Division was really going to the Dawan front.

The second batch of reinforcements is the 2nd Garrison Division, the Special Operations Division, and the 1st Rong Division, which will set off from Chang'an.

The Second Garrison Division was personally led by Gao Shun, because this division was probably the only unit among the main divisions of the Central Army that had not participated in the test of the Great War.

This time, he also actively asked for battle, and Gao Shun personally led the team to ensure that the Second Garrison Division would make fewer mistakes.

He did not influence Fazheng's command decision-making, but only gave Fazheng a hand.

He will be mainly responsible for logistics management, coordination and scheduling of the participating units, because Gao Shun is the person who knows the most about the participating units.

The third group of participating troops consisted of the 5th Cavalry Division, the 6th Cavalry Division, and the 4th Division.

The Fourth Division went to Liangzhou to take over the defense, and the commander of the Sixth Cavalry Division was replaced by Huo Jun and Zhao Yun.

Therefore, the real participating troops are as follows: the 6th Division, the 9th Division, the 2nd Garrison Division, the Special Operations Division, the 1st Rong Division, the 3rd Cavalry Division, the 5th Cavalry Division, the 6th Cavalry Division, and the 7th Cavalry Division.

There are a total of nine divisions, including three infantry divisions and four cavalry divisions, the Rongyi Division is a cavalry brigade plus two infantry brigades, and the special operations division is a musket brigade and two cavalry brigades.

In July 201, Tai Shici's 9th Division was the first to arrive at Guishan City, the capital of Dawan.

Fa Zheng had already arrived with the 7th Cavalry Division, and Zhang Yang's 6th Division had also moved south from Nakhshab and was stationed on the border between Dawan and Guishan. Pound's 3rd Cavalry Division had also moved out to the border.

The personnel of the Ministry of Intelligence are sending all kinds of information to Dawan, and they are very efficient, and in a short period of time, they have used money to buy many officials of the Kushan Empire, and many important information has been sent to Fa Zheng.

Although war had been declared, the government and army of the Kushan Empire were far less efficient than those of the Great Han.

Their armies were still being drafted, and standing armies from the east and south were massing to the Sogdian provinces by land and sea.

The prince of Bo Tiao also went into battle in person, he wanted to command the whole army to fight against the Han Dynasty, and it was also considered a personal expedition, but he had just set off from Peshawar, and his extravagant and luxurious chariot was slow.

Troops requisitioned from Punjab, Gandhara and other provinces or satrapy districts were also on the way, while the Khorasan Governorate and the Western Governorate, which were the strongest and most powerful in the composition of the empire, were still arguing with the Kushan royal family and the prince of Porchi, negotiating terms.

That is to say, at present, three months have passed in the Sogdian province opposite the border of Dawan, and only soldiers and horses from Khorezm, Herat, Bactria, Kabul, and Sogdia have gathered.

The troops of the five provinces together amounted to about 150,000 people, and in addition to infantry and cavalry, and even camel cavalry, Herat sent 3,000 camel cavalry.

Fa Zheng and Sima Yi are studying whether they should take the initiative to attack, and take advantage of the enemy's commander and main force before they arrive, and kill him first.

A militant like Ma Chao raised his hands and feet in favor.

At the end of July, in the territory of the Sogdian province, small units of Han cavalry attacked and harassed the sentry posts and looted the logistics supply convoys.

Nearly 100,000 troops have been concentrated in the city of Maracanda, and the armies of the entire Kushan Empire are gathering here.

Not only were a large number of barracks built inside and outside the city, but also a large number of warehouses were built to store the materials needed by the army for the war.

However, the frequent attacks of the Han army seriously affected the progress of the reserve materials, and even affected the food and drink of the 100,000 army.

The governor of the Sogdian province, Amp, who was temporarily exercising command of the front-line army, consulted with the commanders of several other provinces and decided that it was necessary to send cavalry units to clear these Han troops and ensure the smooth flow of logistics and supply routes.

Otherwise, when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arrives, everyone will be punished.
