In the autumn of 206 AD, Li Ming led an army of 50,000 and slaughtered in the direction of Hangu Pass.

During the period, I stayed in Luoyang, looking at Luoyang, which was slowly recovering its vitality, and the people had begun to recognize the rule of Da Chu, and they were naturally extremely relieved. At the same time, a large number of supplies began to be transported from Yizhou, Jiaozhou, Xuzhou and Yangzhou, and even Wado Island and Jeju Island to the whole country.

If you want to get rich, you must first build roads, and Li Ming put out this slogan openly. Encourage local families and merchants to build roads together, and the people who walk this road within 10 to 15 years must pay a symbolic 1 copper coin as a toll. The focus is still on caravans and horse-drawn carriages, which are slightly more expensive and are mainly used to maintain the road surface.

Rao is so, a large amount of reinforced concrete investment, so that the ground is very strong, the only problem is that the engraving of the anti-skid line needs to waste a lot of labor, but this year's labor, is really worthless.

It is conceivable that more than a dozen joint stock families, send more than 3,000 family members or something, even if ten lines are carved every day, and then the spacing is longer, it basically does not take long for a road to be completely engraved with anti-slip lines, the key is that there is almost no cost except for two meals a day, there is no more cost-effective deal.

The real biggest expense is the cost of supervising the patrols needed. There are always people who say that they don't take this road, but they secretly take this road halfway through, and no one finds them. At night, someone patrols the road back and forth to make sure that every penny is not wasted.

Later, the government stepped forward and imposed a fine of 100 times on the violators, and in addition to a public parade in the streets. Anyway, there is no humanitarianism in these days, and the cost of trampling on the dignity of the people is too low. However, most of the people think that it is still beneficial to severely punish those who violate the law and discipline, and there is a farce of 'cracking down on public order' in the future, but the stability of law and order in the rear is a good thing for the soldiers on the front line.

When the road was built, the families involved in the road construction naturally made a lot of money. Li Ming also has an official road that can go directly to the front line, not only cement and concrete roads, but also more than a dozen railways, relying on a few horses to pull it, and replace horses along the way to rest. In this way, the whole Dachu is even more accessible in all directions, the connection between the north and the south is closer, and the transportation of materials has become more convenient.

In the end, based on 11 places, including Panyu, Yuzhang, Shanyin, Shouchun, Pengcheng, Beihai, Wan, Chenliu, Puyang, Yecheng and Ji, the traffic situation developed rapidly. Before Li Ming set out in autumn, it only took two days to travel from Shouchun to Panyu; From Shouchun to Jixian County, it is only about three days. In the past, it may not be possible to arrive in less than seven or eight days.

Railways have also promoted the transportation of logistics, and a large number of materials have been transported from south to north through railways. A large number of weapons and equipment, as well as grain, grass, daily necessities, and even medicines, were successively transported to the Southern and Northern Legions.

The reform of grain varieties has further increased grain output; The large-scale breeding base also makes all kinds of meat not lacking at all; At the same time, there is also a herbal medicine cultivation base, where the varieties of herbs are constantly being improved and the efficacy of drugs is optimized; There is also a medical school, and a large number of military doctors enter the army every year, and surgical procedures, as well as drug conditioning, acupuncture and other technologies are constantly being studied.

The larger the territory, the more resources Li Ming can control. The state advocated that the general environment was good, and the family also began to work in traditional farming, and began to move towards a scientific research-based agricultural economy, and even the road of business or industrial technology research. Li Ming attaches great importance to the protection of patents, and the infringer can be easily beheaded, and the most serious is the three clans, so that the families can rest assured to study technology, and use the technology in their hands to obtain profits.

Now he has enough ability to wage war with all his might, and this war has a good chance of winning. It only takes about ten days to confront the imperial army's troops at Hangu Pass, then the overall situation can be decided, and the annexation of the state and Ba County will inevitably fall into his hands.

This is the conclusion that Ying Wei came to after considering the specific situation of Dahan, and then after in-depth analysis by Guo Jia and others.

The Han Dynasty was reckless, and only relied on the Silk Road and the original heritage for development. In addition, Emperor Liu Ting of the Han Dynasty was an ancient man in the end, and his thinking was not so advanced, even if he sent spies, he constantly collected the policy of Great Chu. In the end, in Liu Ting's opinion, these things are all things that he knows and doesn't know why.

In the end, Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi joined forces to decipher Li Ming's complete governing philosophy. The whole concept was almost understood from the beginning when he served as the county guard of the Huiji, and all the policies were connected in series. Rao is like this, and the two can only admit that they understand all the concepts at this stage at most, but they can't make up their minds about how to develop in the future.

In the final analysis, it is the lack of insight and accumulated knowledge, and it is very difficult to catch up with Li Ming's ideas. If he wants to surpass, Zhuge Liang feels that he has to continue to study hard for a few years, and even find more books from Da Chu's side to read, so that he can eat it thoroughly. Sima Yi's side also almost meant this.

A large number of conscripts eventually led to the weakening of the Han background. At present, the tax revenue has further shrunk, and what Liu Ting can do at present is to concentrate superior forces and make a breakthrough at a certain point, leaving him with only more than ten days, and after ten days, the whole army is about to face the embarrassment of food shortage.

Troops in other places cannot be mobilized at all, roads are difficult to walk, and if they support one place over long distances, then every day a batch of grain will be consumed in the process of transportation. The key is the process of transportation, and it will not be fast. It can be said that if the soldiers from Bingzhou or even Jiangzhou plan to come to support, then they are afraid that the grain and grass will be enough for three days at most, and if they can't win in three days, there is no need to fight.

Just when Li Ming came to Luoyang, he was in the Han Palace.

Liu Ting listened to Sima Yi's words and paced back and forth in the main hall: "Seriously, I really envy Li Ming, why is Da Chu getting richer and richer?" The amount of money and grain in his hand is now too much to count, and the annual grain output is also rising, and the price of meat is affordable even for ordinary people. The key is that the transportation of materials is so fast, and not much food can be consumed during the period, and without this foundation, he will not be able to fight on multiple fronts! ”

"Then a single point breakthrough! Your Majesty doesn't need to be discouraged, it's not necessarily a good thing that they have built the road so well! As long as there is a little breakthrough, then our army can completely drive straight in. On the contrary, their path has become a channel for us to rapidly expand our successes, and we can even eat the enemy, and when the time comes, we will fight all the way, and I will see what they can do to stop us! Zhuge Liang said leisurely, in his opinion, the situation is not so bad.

The real key lies in how to do it, with a single click! As long as you break through one opening, one opening is good!

"I want to take the royal expedition!" Liu Ting was silent for three seconds, and then said resolutely, "Anyway, if you can't win the other party after ten days, the big man will inevitably be stormy, and it may even be decided by the other party!" In that case, then what else do I have to worry about! Either defend my Han country and die, or my Han Zhongxing! ”

"Your Majesty is wise!" When the four people present heard this, they didn't expect Liu Ting to plan to let go, but if you think about it carefully, this is not the best result, looking at the big man, the strongest person is him.

And Liu Ting's thinking was to think of Shen Ye's last advice. Cao Cao has already established a city in his body, which is the last retreat of the Han Dynasty, otherwise, send Xing'er (the prince of the Han Dynasty) over?!
