Li Yuanji stretched his waist and said lazily: "Your Royal Highness is not an immortal, how can you know everything?" ”

"Cut!" Chen Chun'er pursed her mouth, turned her head and left.

I haven't seen her for more than a month, but the little girl's temper has risen, and Li Yuanji didn't care, so she went back to the tent and slept beautifully.

Although this campaign was not long, Li Yuanji still felt a little uncomfortable, and when he stopped, he always felt like he hadn't rested enough.

On the south bank of the Yellow River, there are many large camps, and the pontoon bridge built during the previous expedition is still floating firmly in the middle of the Yellow River, connecting the north and south banks.

The north of the Yellow River is mostly mountainous, and only on one side of the river there is arable land less than two miles wide, but the terrain is low and can be easily washed away.

To the south of the Yellow River, all of them are plains, and the long-abandoned land makes Li Yuanji feel pity. But there is no way, sooner or later I will take this land, but not now.

It is said that it is north of the Yellow River, but in fact, it is necessary to continue to walk north for about four or five hundred miles, which is the real grassland, and this needs to pass through the Utra Gorge. How much Li Yuanji hoped that the current Yellow River would be the Yellow River after the diversion, so that the entire Fengzhou Plain would be his own territory.

The geographical location is particularly important, and controlling this canyon can block the southward movement of the large army.

But this is not absolute, there are still many small roads that can be further south, but it is a little more difficult.

On both sides of the Utra Gorge, there is a plain that is more suitable for farming, and in the past, it was a place for the Turks to graze, so there is no need to worry about the fertility of the land.

……

On the huge construction site, thousands of people were constantly busy, some soldiers were on guard, some soldiers were working, most of them were government soldiers working with Turkic captives, and those old, weak, sick and disabled were arranged to open up the wasteland and prepare for farming.

"If you don't do it, you can't eat enough, you can't sleep well, you don't even give a woman, you still have to work, just kill Lao Tzu." A Turkic captive angrily threw away his hoe and sat on the ground, his heart full of depression.

When did he ever work? Those were all things that slaves did, and he only needed to practice martial arts.

"Gul, what are you doing? Hurry up! Another Turkic captive's face tightened, and before the government soldiers rushed over, he hurriedly pulled up Gu Li, who was sitting on the ground.

"Fuck off! Lao Tzu quit......" Gu Li pushed him away with all his might, and continued to sit there whining.

After being pushed away, the Turkic soldier felt helpless and could only continue to pick up the hoe and dig the pit with all his might.

Gul's mood soon affected more Turkic captives, fighting a war is not the same as working, you don't feel tired when you fight, but not necessarily when you work.

Coupled with the hunger in his belly, after seeing Guli sit down, more and more Turkic captives also put down their tools.

The abnormality on the construction site attracted the attention of the government soldiers, and those government soldiers who were originally working also quietly left the construction site with tools on their backs.

But then, after leaving the construction site, those soldiers instantly dropped their hoes and replaced them with the weapons and equipment they had originally placed there.

"Who told you to stop? Work! The army was summoned, and Xiao Cheng, the Zhonglang general who was in charge of guarding, was wearing armor and leading the army to press forward step by step.

"We are warriors! It's not a slave, you didn't say that before, now you can't eat enough, you can't sleep well, and you let us work, Lao Tzu won't do it! ”

"General Ben will give you one last chance, now, immediately pick up the tools and continue to work!" Xiao Cheng is not afraid of these Turks who have put down their weapons at all, and the Turks who have no horses are only slightly stronger than ordinary people.

"Lao Tzu just doesn't do it, what can you do?"

"Humph!" With a cold snort, Xiao Cheng pulled out the horizontal knife on his waist, and with a finger of the blade, the thousand-man army was holding spears, horizontal knives and bows and arrows, approaching step by step.

……

In the camp on the south bank of the Yellow River, Li Yuanji asked people to write down the terrain in the north, and then made a sand table out of sand, although it was not very similar, but the mountains and roads and the arable land in the plains were written down.

"This city is particularly important, with this city, it can prevent the troops from the north and south from crossing the border!" Pointing to the city being built on the sand table, Li Yuanji explained.

Now that Su Dingfang has been appointed as the general of Qi State, Li Yuanji has no intention of hiding it, and he still has to make it clear about the next deployment arrangements.

After all, it is impossible for him to run back and forth, and the ones who really need to be responsible are the generals of Su Dingfang, as well as the upcoming Ma Zhou and others.

The terrain on the sand table is very complete, and you can see the geographical advantages of the canyon, but there are also disadvantages.

But for a city made of concrete, there is no problem with its hardness, so there is nothing wrong with this place.

"To the north, fifty miles along the way a military fort was built, and these military forts served as post stations, and a group of officers and soldiers were stationed on weekdays. After arriving on the grassland, build a military fort every 100 li, garrison a regiment of soldiers, build a city every 300 li, live in 10,000 households, 2,000 troops, set up a military palace every 600 li, garrison 6,000 soldiers, set up a granary, and the army can travel without carrying a large amount of grain and grass, and replenish it every 300 li. Once a city or a military fort is attacked by the enemy, relying on the height of the fort or city to ensure that it can hold out for at least a day, and within a day, it is enough for reinforcements from the two surrounding cities to arrive. ”

Through the castle mode, Li Yuanji connected the entire grassland, on the grassland, it is not difficult to travel 300 miles a day, and in the future, it must be two horses per person, or more configurations, in addition, they do not need to carry more supplies, they can march at full speed.

Over time, when the cities and military forts are lined up on the grasslands, and there are pastures and fields everywhere, the barren land outside the fortress will eventually become a grand occasion like the Central Plains.

Listening to Li Yuanji's explanation, Su Dingfang nodded silently.

This idea is indeed very good, relying on the advantage of the city, as long as it can be held on the first day, and reinforcements will arrive every day, then the ideal result is that not a city will be lost.

And the model of grazing and cultivation can ensure that the people will have enough food, and it is also extremely conducive to the official grain stockpiling, only ten years, no, only five years, this grassland will become a place that no one can defeat.

"Your Highness, there has been a rebellion among the Turks, and General Xiao has led his troops to suppress it!" While they were talking about their future plans, the soldiers who had arrived from the construction site were panting and reporting.

"Those who dare to resist, kill the light and kill the quiet!" Li Yuanji responded lightly.

I didn't intend to count on these Turks, who were not of my race, and their hearts would be punished, what they needed was women, young women, women who could give birth, and it was always an uncontrollable factor for those tall Turkic soldiers.

If they are obedient, they don't mind sparing their lives, and those who are disobedient will be killed.

"Will this cause panic among the other Turks?" Su Dingfang wondered.

"Then kill them all! Those who are disobedient and dare to resist are all enemies of our Qi country, and there is no need for sympathy and mercy to treat enemies. Li Yuanji said unusually firmly.

Su Dingfang was stunned, Li Yuanji at this moment made him feel a little strange, he had never felt such a strong murderous aura on Li Yuanji's body before, but since he left Fengzhou, everything has changed.

Li Yuanji kept talking about his ideas, and his views on the caravan were particularly important, and Li Yuanji even planned to set up a separate department to be responsible for protecting the interests of the caravan.

It can be seen that Li Yuanji is indeed very interested here, but how difficult is it to do?

In this blank land, build a number of cities and military forts, immigrated from the mainland, one by one, just thinking about it, you know that it is not so easy.

Because of his own emotion, Su Dingfang listened a little groggy, about the development of commerce, economy and agriculture, he didn't take it to heart at all, fortunately, the military aspect had already been said earlier, otherwise, Li Yuanji could only waste so much saliva in vain.

There was still shouting and killing on the construction site, but unlike before, the battle was one-sided.

Those who have already accepted their fate have run to the back early, but they are still injured a lot by arrows.

Those who want to resist, after the first round of despair, are only timid, hoes and other tools are left, they are not the opponent of spears at all, there is no sharp point of the spear, there is no sharpness of the horizontal knife, and there is no range of the bow and arrow, and it has become difficult to even block the bow and arrow.

"Kill! Keep killing! Some Turks had already begun to shout for surrender, but Xiao Cheng didn't intend to let the Turks go so easily.

On weekdays, one by one, they show off their might, and they are lazy and lazy when they work, so many people add up, and the work they do is not as much as that of the five hundred government soldiers, and for these Turks who eat food and do not work, and complain constantly, Xiao Cheng and other government soldiers are also very disgusted.

Soon, Xiao Cheng, who received the order of King Qi, was even more responsible for killing.

In the end, even the Turks themselves felt hopeless, didn't they just do a job? I'm tired, but I'm not dead, right?

After a short period of effort, more than half of the 4,000 Turks died, and only more than 1,000 people remained.

And the Turkic surrenderers, who had already shouted surrender, finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the other party was no longer doing anything, and secretly made up their minds that they would never be lazy again in the future.

Looking at the cowardice of the Turks, Xiao Cheng was even more angry, standing on a dirt slope, pointing to the Turks who were still alive below, and scolded: "Damn, Lao Tzu can't get used to you gang of cowards, all of them are specially brewed without eggs, today this general will set a rule for you, from now on, free combination, five people in a team, mutual supervision, one is lazy, the whole team is punished, the first time is punished for a day without food, the second time the whole team is directly executed, and the reward for the report is a pound of meat......"
