Zhou Tai, head of the Wuling Mountain Rebellion Suppression Regiment, spoke and asked experts from various local departments to express their opinions, and sure enough, there were quite a few people who put forward their opinions.

This information gave Zhou Tai a specific understanding of the situation of many people in Wuling Mountain.

It turned out that the population of Wuling County had only grown to 600,000 for so many years, and the reason was that the people of Wuling Mountain did not obey discipline and hid in the mountains. Each of its five creeks has its own leader, and a total of one person is respected as the king, advocating natural economy.

Shi Tao, the governor of Wuling, said: "The barbarian people of Wuxi are barbaric, but some of them are subject to the discipline of the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce. But there are still some dissatisfied, so they organize their own arms, when Commander Lu sat in Jingnan, he sent several military horses to exterminate, but as soon as the military horses arrived, they hid in the mountains, and there was no way to start. ”

Liu Maodao, Minister of Construction of Wuling, said: "Our construction department also encountered a lot of resistance when planning the highway for the distribution area of Wuxi barbarians. Gongzi once said that it is necessary to build a highway from Dongting Lake, pass through Hanshou, enter Lingyang County, and then go west along Lishui to Youyang County (southeast of Chongqing, hinterland of Wuling Mountains, bordering western Hunan in the east), and you can open up the road from Wuling to Shu. The construction of this road had already begun one after another, but it was shelved after Commander Lü's troops and horses were transferred to the north to attack Nanjun. The reason is that when its people saw that our army was transferred, Wuxi barbarians began to disobey discipline, and occasionally dozens or hundreds of bandits appeared, looting the people's grain and grass along the way. ”

Zhou Tai listened, and basically had some understanding of the situation in this place, and some experts in natural disaster dispatch told Zhou Tai that now in October, there will be more than a month, it will snow, and the road in Wuling Mountain is difficult to walk, and if the army wants to enter, it is only afraid that the grain and grass will be heavy, and it will be difficult to replenish.

Zhou Tai was a little embarrassed, Lu Meng's army of 60,000 had not yet solved the problem of Wuxi Man, and he was only 20,000. Of course, Lü Meng's 60,000 Jingnan military horses were in charge of the four counties of Jingnan, and in order to repair the roads between the counties, the manpower was already clumsy, so naturally they could not be transferred to deal with the Wuling Mountains alone.

Suddenly, Pan Jun, the director of the Hanshou County Public Security Bureau, who had been sitting in the corner and had not spoken, raised his hand and said that he had something to say.

This meeting was supposed to raise your hand when you spoke, which was the rule, but Pan Jun was the director of the county security bureau, and for everyone present, he naturally had the lowest position.

If Wuling County is considered a province, Hanshou County can only be regarded as a city, and all the officials present are provincial-level high-ranking officials, and Pan Jun can only be regarded as the director of the city's public security bureau.

Zhou Tai knew this person and motioned for Pan Jun to speak.

Pan Jun stood up and said, "Commander Zhou, to exterminate the Wuxi Barbarians, in fact, according to the conventional methods, it is almost impossible. Even if Commander Zhou kills his king Shamoke today and annihilates the main force of his army, so what? In seven or eight years, it will still make a comeback. Now that there is a son's example first, why did my Wuling County abandon it? ”

Pan Jun asked a rhetorical question, but no one present understood, and Zhou Tai said: "Would you like to hear it in detail?" ”

Pan Jun sorted out his throat and said: "Gongzi is to enter Shu, to the road to determine Zigui, land and water, conquer the mountains, and use 300,000 manpower to build a highway into Shu, this move is to kill two birds with one stone, in the future, it will become the main road of internal and external communication, drive development, and can go straight into Shu, strengthen military control, since then, there is no independent Shu." Can we treat the Wuling Mountains as a small Shuzhong, backed by a large army, mobilize people's strength, and make every effort to build it. If the Governor and Commander Zhou cooperate, this will definitely be possible next summer. ”

Governors Shi Tao and Zhou Tai listened to Pan Jun's words, and their hearts were moved.

Zhou Tai turned his head to Liu Mao, Minister of Construction, and said, "I don't know what the Ministry of Construction's opinion is?" ”

Zhou Tai wants to do this, the military can only be an auxiliary, the real implementation of the plan, the report of the project, but it is Wuling County.

It's just that cooperation is mutually beneficial, in fact, if the Governor's Office reports this matter, obtains Yang Xi's approval, and orders the military to cooperate, then Zhou Tai will also have to implement this matter.

Liu Mao said: "When Commander Lu was here, this highway had already been planned, and some people had been summoned to build the foundation, and even the roads to the north to Zuotang County and Xiaoling County had been opened, becoming a traffic artery in addition to the Yangtze River. However, although Hanshou to Lingyang County is only 80 kilometers, it has only been built for more than 10 kilometers and then it has been shelved. However, the highway planning and specific route surveys have all been completed. ”

Liu Mao shook his head and expressed regret.

Although it is only 80 kilometers, it is less than 200 miles at this time, but it is not easy to enter the mountain.

Although this mountain is not as good as Ziguibei, it also belongs to a hilly area, more than 100 miles away, bending around, there must be more than 200 miles.

Wuling Shitao couldn't help but stand up and said: "Minister Liu, if the head of the Zhou regiment fully cooperates, and the county will give you all the manpower to recruit people to build the road to Lingyang City, how long will it take for you to complete it?" ”

Liu Mao said with an embarrassed face: "One year! ”

"No! It's too slow! ”

"Ten months!" Liu Mao hesitated slightly.

But Shi Tao still felt that it was too slow, Lian Lian shook his head and said: "No, at most you will be given five months, if you want people, I will transfer people and materials for you, I will give you the mobilization of the whole county, and even ask Zhang Ji of Changsha County next door for help, this matter is directly submitted to the application, please ask the president for approval, how long can you be?" ”

Liu Mao saw that Shi Tao was in a hurry, his face was bitter, he calculated silently in his heart, and only after a long time did he solemnly nod: "If the whole county is mobilized, I can repair the road to the foot of the county seat of Lingyang County in six months." ”

Zhou Tai applauded and laughed: "Okay! Good! Good! Today, I asked Governor Shi to pass the book to Gongzi and let Gongzi issue it. I have 20,000 soldiers and horses, but with the dispatch, even if it is winter, except for the heavy snow blocking the mountains, my 20,000 troops will never rest. ”

Due to the high terrain, Wuling County is colder than other places in the south of the Yangtze River, but it snows heavily for only a few days a year. Now in a month, there will be a snowfall, Shi Tao and Zhou Tai and others, want to repair a section before the heavy snow, at the same time as Shi Tao's flying pigeon sent out the application, the various departments of Wuling County have already begun to plan specifically.

In this war, Pan Jun made a lot of contributions, Shi Tao made a special request to Yang Xi in his application, and asked him to be transferred to the county, as the acting director of the county security office, responsible for the material escort work of the entire battlefield after the war.

After receiving Shi Tao's application, Yang Xi didn't think about it for long, so he gave instructions that it was feasible, and only told Zhou Tai that while building, he must organize the security work to prevent Shamoke's sneak attack.

Yang Xi looked at the highway route planned by Shi Tao and others, and felt that it was not enough, so he directly instructed him to not only build the highway to Lingyang County, but also to Chong County dozens of kilometers to the west, and then to Yuanling County more than 100 kilometers to the south, and finally go back to Hanshou through Yuanshui.

This project is big, which is tantamount to going around the hinterland of Wuling. The total distance added up is not four or five hundred kilometers.

But Yang Xi told them that manpower and material resources are nothing more than financial resources, and the Chamber of Commerce approves this project, you just have to do it, we have money.

In terms of money, the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce must be richer than Cao Cao, Cao Cao dares to repair the railroad tracks from Xudu to Dunhuang, and Yang Xi builds a few roads, what is there to consider.

As for the railroad tracks, the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce has never stopped, and now Lingling, Guiyang, and Changsha have all the rails connected to Chenhe City, and even Wuling County and Hanshou City have communicated with Changsha and Lingling Counties.
