Hearing Gao Tang's words about flipping the table, Chen Cheng couldn't help laughing. I only heard him say: "Although I have not met the Tarslave emperor, I think he must be a bearded man." Guy with little eyes. Now think about him blowing his beard and glaring, and flipping the table in anger, it's really cool! ”

"Hahaha, that is, the pain of the enemy is our victory." Gao Tang said and laughed along.

The two men, with fifty or sixty cavalry sergeants, began to look north to inspect the terrain and study the construction of fortifications.

It wasn't until the sun went down that they returned to Anzhou City, and in the evening the two of them drank again while studying how to build the fortifications.

I only heard Chen Cheng say: "Our soldiers are enough, but this stone is not easy to get!" ”

Gao Tang said: "In this way, you can mobilize the people in the city, they should know where the stone is." And I think the people are willing to help us build the fortifications that will give them safety. ”

"Hmm!" Chen Cheng nodded after hearing this, and then said: "What General Gao said is extremely true, when you launch the group, the power in the group is great. ”

Gao Tang said: "Brother Chen, you will start organizing the construction tomorrow, this matter cannot be delayed, it must be built within a month, and when the Tatar army sends troops again, this fortification will be a powerful weapon for retreating from the enemy." ”

"Well, I understand that." Chen Cheng said.

"Okay, then we'll split up tomorrow." Gao Tang said.

Chen Cheng said: "General Gao, now there is no Tatar army in the north of Pingliang Prefecture, General Gao only needs to lead his troops to occupy there, and then build a military camp." ”

"Yes, Brother Chen, I also want to build a military camp that can accommodate 50,000 people in a month." Gao Tang said.

"Okay, I'll be a general and succeed." Chen Cheng picked up a bowl of wine and said.

Gao Tang also picked up the wine bowl and said, "General Ben also lives with Brother Chen to success!" ”

"!"

"!"

The two touched each other and drank it with a bang. Showing the clean bottom of the bowl, they smiled at each other.

Early the next morning, Gao Tang returned to Pingliang Prefecture and rushed to the mountainous area forty miles north of Pingliang Prefecture with 80,000 horses. This is a way to the west, though not as easy to walk as the land of Pingdu. But you can also walk past a pony carriage.

When Gao Tang led his troops to occupy this place, if he wanted to go from Middle-earth to the west, he had to make a detour from the desert, and the distance would have to be more than three times larger.

Gao Tang fell to the ground, and immediately organized soldiers to go up the mountain to cut down trees, beat stones, and began to build a military camp. The barracks must have a Tang Dynasty and a house where the soldiers live. There's also a stone wall.

This barracks is like an old-fashioned school, surrounded by houses and a large courtyard in the middle. There will also be a small courtyard at the back of one of the rows of houses with bungalows. and houses with weapons, tents, lights, and debris. Behind the other row of houses were stables and pig-like pens for the soldiers.

Of course, after the barracks are established, some vegetables and grain will be planted around. When there is no war or training, these can be used as leisure fun for soldiers.

Gao Tang thinks clearly, and the plan is even more clear. The construction of the barracks began in full swing.

There was no harassment, no fetters, and no trouble in the weather, on the contrary, with the enthusiasm of the soldiers and the support of the people of Pingliang Prefecture, the construction of the barracks was still very fast, and it began to take shape in just ten days. Most of the houses have already taken shape. The stone wall outside was several feet high.

It is close to the mountains, and wood and stone are readily available. It's not like Chen Cheng's side. He mainly uses stone on his side. for he will build stone walls. This and the stone wall shall be built half a foot high. The distance that stretches for hundreds of miles is really a big project.

Chen Cheng's strategy is segmentation. How many people are in each section, how many zhang. As for the stone, if you can take the nearest material, you can look for it nearby, and if you can't, go there near the mountainous area in the north of Pingliang Prefecture. And the south side is really not there to demolish the stone of the dilapidated five-person house in Anzhou City.

There are also stones on the side of Heihuling, and Chen Cheng also mobilized the defenders there to go up the mountain to mine stones and transport them to those places where there are no stones.

At the same time, Gao Tang also wrote a letter to the imperial court, asking the imperial court to mobilize some artillery and place it under a circle of defensive stone walls, ready to meet the attack of the Tarnu army.

The letter soon reached the imperial court, and when it arrived at Liu Yong, Liu Yong immediately issued an order to transfer 500 artillery pieces to Anzhou City. If there is a shortfall, it will be transferred from other armies first, and then the arsenal will step up production to fill the gap. Of course, it is not enough to have a cannon without shells.

Liu Yong also ordered the production of more artillery shells for the use of the border defenders.

Liu Yong's army is stepping up defense and production. However, the palace of Tiandu City, which is thousands of miles away from Anzhou City, is unusually calm.

These days, I feel that the government seems to be getting less and less. This year's grain harvest failed, and local officials were anxious to become ants on a hot pot. There's no time left to write any more memorabilia.

Many high-ranking officials of the imperial court also personally went to inspect the disaster situation first to see how they could take some food from the mouths of the common people. It was good for the court and the army to eat.

Now, even Prime Minister Lunta, who has always been idle, is busy.

Only the one who was idle in the palace. However, he was idle, but his heart was not idle. Now, there are two big things in his heart. One is the war in Pingliang Prefecture, and the other is the issue of food security.

On the whole, the current food problem is more important and urgent than the war in Pingliang Prefecture. As a result, the balance in his heart also tilted. As a result, more attention has been paid to the imminent food problem.

Although he didn't leave the palace, he also asked his subordinates to inquire about the prime minister, and the prime minister also told him about the situation. When he heard that grain could still be levied in a certain place, he was happy. When he heard that there was no grain left in a certain place, he frowned.

He thought to himself: "When we were in the desert, we didn't think about food at all, and all we ate every day was meat. Unexpectedly, when I came to this Middle Earth, food became a fatal event! It's hard! ”

Although it was difficult, this kind of impact was something he never expected. Food can be related to the fortune of this country, so that he can spend every day in trepidation.

Food was a big problem now, and he didn't care much about the war in the west. No matter what happens to the west, there is no more important question of food.

As a result, the two mountains in my heart became one mountain. It's all grain.

The war in Pingliang Prefecture, he forgot to send someone to investigate.

He had no idea that Bata would become a deserter.
