"General, this.... Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info" The two doctors wept with sad faces.

Luo Yi ignored the two of them, and took Wu Yingxiang, Pan Long, and a few shadow members next to him into the house.

The house was very chaotic, there were bombed things everywhere, and there were all kinds of materials, sulfur, charcoal, saltpeter, etc., and all kinds of equipment piled up in the corner.

Luo Yi frowned and said, "How are you developing it now?" ”

"These things, during the experiment, must be placed farther away, otherwise they will be like the pharmacy in the south of the city, which can directly tear down the roof."

Wu Yingxiang was gloomy and said: "My lord, this explosive is indeed not easy to deploy, more will not work, less will not work, once it touches the spark, it will explode immediately, since the research, this is the second explosion." ”

"Then be careful, the whole yard is strictly forbidden fireworks."

Luo Yi said: "In short, before the Chinese New Year, be sure to research the explosives, this is your task." ”

"Also, including you, no one is allowed to leave these dozen or so courtyards, I will let Zhang Wancheng confine down here, give it the name 'Science and Technology Academy', send personal guards to guard it, and give all the food needed."

"No." Everyone responded in unison.

After leaving the Academy of Science and Technology, Luo Yi went to the Department of the Interior again.

"Lord Zhang, have you found out the situation in all parts of Longxi?" Walking into the house, Luo Yi asked.

Zhang Wancheng walked over with a book in his hand and said, "Lord, check it out." ”

"Tell me."

"Yes."

Zhang Wancheng said: "My Longxi, including Pingxing and Wuyang counties, has a total of 26 counties, with a total population of 560,000. 190,000 quintals of military rations in granaries everywhere, but... Now we have added a lot of soldiers, except for the one that will be given to Zhou Gandang next year, it should be just the autumn harvest. ”

"Hmm. You don't have to worry about food, we are never short of food. ”

Luo Yi asked: "I came here today to learn about the situation of land reform, how did the people react?" ”

"The people responded well, now I am all over Longxi, the people are actively mobilized, are farming, and in accordance with the technology of the greenhouse base, greenhouse planting, and wait until next year, there will be a harvest. In particular, the lord does not collect taxes, which makes the people praise him. ”

Luo Yi said: "With such a good policy, won't the people of other counties come to my Longxi?" ”

"Yes, I'm worried about that."

Zhang Wancheng turned around, picked up another book, opened it and said: "Yesterday, news was just sent from the border, and hundreds of people came to my border county. ”

Luo Yi said with a smile: "Okay, tell the local county government to be sure to resettle and distribute land well, and the policy should be the same as that of the original residents of Longxi." In addition, the county order of the three counties of Wuyang was notified, so that they could set up more porridge sheds to accommodate the homeless. ”

"Yes. Isn't that too much fanfare, though? ”

"I just want to make a big show, and I have to let the people of other counties and counties in Xiliang understand that when I go to Longxi, I can have food."

Luo Yi said: "Our Longxi is vast and sparsely populated, and what we lack is people, and with people, we can do things well." These hundreds of newcomers to Wuyang County, even if we buy horse bones, accept them well, and set an example for those people who are about to come, but have not yet made up their minds. ”

"No." Zhang Wancheng understands whether he understands or not, and he responds.

***********

Xiqiang.

After more than half a month of busyness, the fourth county seat has finally been built!

This means that the army can continue to advance, and it is one step closer to conquering Xiqiang.

Wang Qing ordered to move closer to the left and build another city two hundred miles to the left.

However, Luo Tong, Sun Yu, Zhao Yong, etc., couldn't hold it back, and spent all day in the newly established city, either training or sitting idle. Especially listening to Wang Qing, not only did he not move forward, but he also had to move to the left, that is, he had to wait for half a month before he could get closer to the hinterland of Xiqiang.

Luo Tong divided the cavalry under his command into two groups, with Sun Yu leading 3,000 people to advance quickly to the left front one day in advance, and Luo Tong led the remaining 20,000 people to kill the front.

In addition, Zhao Yong was specifically responsible for finding out the news of the other party, and sent countless spies to grasp the situation of the entire Xiqiang.

Da Da...

Seeing Luo Tong's army rushing out and running into the distance, Wang Qing stood on the city tower and couldn't help but sigh.

"The general's move is too risky."

Next to Wang Qing, stood Zhang Ming.

Zhang Ming was in charge of escorting grain, grass and baggage, and had just arrived here.

Zhang Ming said: "I don't think so, no matter what, the Qiang people must be defeated, if they don't fight, how to defeat?" ”

Wang Qing glanced at him and let out a chuckle, he didn't want to argue, especially not to be with a fool and stubborn person.

"Then we'll see."

Two days later.

In Xiao Chenglong's royal tent, more than a dozen leaders gathered.

After these days of deployment, the soldiers from all over Xiqiang have gathered and set up camp behind the canyon, and the besieging soldiers have also made great progress after these days of training, and can be thrown into the war at any time.

After receiving two cavalry troops coming to the hinterland of Xiqiang, Xiao Chenglong was extremely excited and couldn't wait to send troops immediately.

After gathering everyone, he grinned and said: "Luo Tong, Sun Yu, and Zhao Yong, there are not many soldiers and horses under their command, only 23,000, and the strength of our army is more than four times that of them, and we will definitely be able to defeat them in a battle!" ”

It is necessary to mention that after being gathered, the soldiers and horses of the Qiang tribe gathered around the king's tent have reached a terrible number of 100,000!!

"With such a powerful army, why worry about the indestructibility of thieves? Allow me, O King, to meet the enemy, and I will destroy them all! "The one who spoke was a fat man of short stature, a reminder of bloated and immense strength, and the leader of a tribe.

"Leader Tuoba doesn't need to worry, we should still listen to the advice of the military advisor."

Xiao Chenglong's eyes fell on Dong Fan.

Dong Fan couldn't help sighing. Originally, he did not approve of going to war so early, at least he should train the siege troops more maturely and build more siege equipment, so that he could recover the whole territory strongly and drive the enemy out of Xiqiang.

However, Xiao Chenglong was bent on the big war, and he had no choice but to agree.

After thinking about it, Dong Fan said: "Our advantage is that we are familiar with the land of Xiqiang, and the iron cavalry has strong combat effectiveness, which is suitable for field warfare. Luo Tong only has 20,000 iron horsemen, and he is alone in the depths, so he must not be our opponent. ”

"I agree with the proposal of the leader of the Tuoba Flame to send troops to fight."

Tuoba Yan felt a frenzy in his heart.

Dong Fan continued: "However, we can't underestimate Luo Tong, when he fought in the Northern Desert before, he led the Tang Dynasty army and defeated hundreds of thousands of cavalry in the Northern Desert, which shows that he has a skill in using soldiers. ”

"Hey, why should the military advisor raise the morale of others and destroy his own prestige, no matter how powerful he is, he only has 20,000 troops, can he meet us?"

Xiao Chenglong said disdainfully.

Dong Fan looked at the map, a little, and smiled: "Luo Tong asked Sun Yu to lead three thousand troops to advance to the left front, and the speed was very fast, obviously he wanted to lure our army forward, and wanted to lure most of my soldiers and horses away, and then he led the army to attack my king's tent." ”
