Moreover, Luo Tong was also a little worried in his heart, he went around Xiqiang so much, it was impossible for Xiao Chenglong not to know that the Longxi cavalry was coming, maybe he was now preparing for a big battle, if the enemy rushed forward and was ambushed, it would be more than worth the loss. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

So, more than 20,000 troops were stationed in the city two hundred miles on the left, waiting for Wang Qing to be built.

Speaking of building a city, Wang Qing also put a lot of thought into it, in his thoughts, it is to build the city like the city in the Central Plains, which can fight a tough battle, can hold on, and can resist the Qiang people.

But halfway through the establishment, he knew how difficult it was to build a city of that size, not to mention that the boulders and giant trees had to be transported out of Yanmen Pass, but the simplest soil was not a small amount, even if it was made from local materials, it would take a lot of manpower to excavate.

At this rate, it cannot be completed in a non-book month. And this is only three cities, if you want to build all twenty Xiqiang, it will take a few years.

He was worried that if it went on like this, he was afraid that Luo Yi would not be able to accept it.

In particular, it will take a lot of time and money to build houses in the city in the future.

After consideration, he decided that in order to unify Xiqiang as soon as possible, the number of subjects to be built should be reduced, such as the houses in the city, except for a county guard and a school field, the others should not be built for the time being, and the city tower, do not build those complicated caves or anything, let alone the roof, as long as the outline of the city wall is repaired, and it can be maintained.

To deal with an army like the Qiang who are not familiar with siege warfare, there are trenches, there are walls, it is enough!

As a result, the pace of construction increased dramatically, and in just one month, all three cities were erected.

On this day, Wang Qing led the army and advanced forward, and came to the city where Luo Tong was stationed.

Entering the palace, he said, "General, now that the three cities have been repaired, you can set off." ”

"Okay, then according to what you said, let's recommend another two hundred miles, but..."

Luo Tong walked to the map, looked at it, and asked, "Next, what cities are you going to build?" ”

Inside the house, in addition to Wang Qing and Luo Tong, there were also Zhao Yong and Sun Yu standing next to them.

When the two saw Wang Qing, they felt uncomfortable, and their faces were full of disgust.

However, seeing Luo Tong asking Wang Qing about the plan, the two of them were even more puzzled, how to march and where to build it, do they still need to ask Wang Qing? Isn't it enough to just give an order?

Wang Qing looked at the map and said, "General, I want to advance from our current city to the city two hundred miles to the right, and only build one city in the middle of the city!" After it is built, it will move forward. In this way, we can be safer, if we are still the same as before, divide the team into three parts, if we meet the Qiang people, I am afraid that it will be difficult to protect ourselves. ”

"I am ready to leave the first city with a thousand men to garrison, and this city, and the city on the right, will garrison three thousand each, and the rest will go to fortify the city, building and defending at the same time."

Luo Tong said irritably: "You are too cautious when you march like this, when can you get Xiqiang?" ”

Sun Yu said: "I think, he built his city, let's go and attack the Qiang people." I expect that the Qiang people are now preparing their troops, and their strength is insufficient, and if we go early, we may be able to catch us off guard. If you finish going and let the Qiang people prepare, then it will be difficult to win. ”

Luo Daodao: "Go now, it's too late." ”

"Alas, it's all my fault for this, if I had already seen the terrain of Xiqiang and led the army to their lair, I would definitely be able to make a contribution, but it's a pity that January was wasted in Xiqiang."

Wang Qing said: "The general doesn't have to blame himself, Xiqiang is too big, how can it be possible to find out the terrain in a short time, we can only encroach step by step in order to achieve the ultimate goal." ”

For Zhao Yong and Sun Yu, Wang Qing directly ignored them.

In his eyes, what these two people said was completely adventurism, and if they really fell into the ambush of the Qiang people, it would be too late to regret it.

"Okay, let's not discuss it blindly, let's march, just follow what Wang Qing said, and advance two hundred miles."

Luo Tong put away the map and said lightly.

Zhao Yong and Sun Yu both sighed, and the two of them didn't understand, why did Luo Tong listen to Wang Qing?

At the same time, in Xiao Chenglong's royal tent.

The chiefs who had been sent to various places also returned with their men one after another. Of course, this refers to those who are close to the king's tent, and those who are far away will take some time.

In the past half month, more than 16,000 cavalry have arrived, all of whom have been stationed outside the valley of the king's tent.

"My lord, I got a message yesterday."

"Oh? What news. ”

Inside the king's tent, Dong Fan's brows furrowed.

He said: "I heard that Luo Yi's march this time was not only 23,000 cavalry, but also the remaining 60,000 people, of which 30,000 were building cities in my territory, and 30,000 were transporting supplies. ”

"Build a city?"

"Yes, every step they take is to build fortified cities on the land they have been given, and they want to resist us."

Xiao Chenglong snorted: "How can this be reasonable, dare to build a city on my territory, I will lead a large army and drive them out!" ”

"Don't worry, the king."

"What's wrong with you?"

Dong Fan said: "Didn't the king forget that our people haven't arrived yet." ”

"Hmph, when our people arrive, it will take at least two months, can we wait that long? Then the enemy will build the city to my king's house. ”

Xiao Chenglong was very angry.

Dong Fan said with a smile: "Otherwise, the king, our Xiqiang Erlang lacks experience in attacking the city, I suggest that we take this opportunity to select 20,000 people to focus on training the method of siege, this is not only to deal with the Longxi army in front, but also to attack Xiliang and prepare for the Central Plains." ”

"In two months, we will definitely be able to train a good army."

"Moreover, we don't have siege equipment yet, and we should let the soldiers start to prepare, otherwise, how can we recover the territory?"

Xiao Chenglong frowned and said: "Yes, they have now established the city, if we don't have soldiers who can attack the city, we won't be able to capture their city." ”

"That's it, tell Ben Lei, let him draw 20,000 men from my army and the leaders who rushed here, immediately conduct siege training, and let people prepare siege equipment."

"I don't believe it, when I train this army, I'll see how the Longxi army can stop me!"

"The king is wise."

Dong Fan nodded with satisfaction. said: "As long as we have tens of thousands of siege troops and tens of thousands of iron cavalry troops, let alone recovering lost territory, even if we capture Longxi, it will be easy, at that time, Luo Yi's strength is no longer as good as ours!" ”

"Also, our food is already very scarce, we must not lose this battle, we must not be absolutely sure, we must not rush to send troops."

Xiao Chenglong sighed: "Yes, we are good everywhere in Xiqiang, but there is no food..." ”

"This time, I must enter the Central Plains, otherwise I will have no way to survive."
