Chapter 278: Building a City in the Desert

Meiji, Xihe County, originally made the Xiongnu Zhonglang General station, but today the city tower flutters with the handsome flag of Zhang Quan. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Lin Chong killed Zhuang Yong, a warrior of the Xiongnu Zhonglang General's Mansion, and the Mighty Earthquake General's Mansion, Zhang Xiu led the crowd to surrender.

Duliao general Geng Zhi died tragically at the hands of Liu Bao, so that the Xiongnu Zhonglang general Zhang Xiu surrendered, since then Mobei except for the Xiongnu alien race, there is no force to prevent Zhang Quan from sealing the wolf Juxu and driving the north.

Meiji City, in the lobby of the General's Mansion, Hua Mulan, Changsun Sheng, Gao Changgong, Lin Chong, and Kuaitong, who had just joined the state, were lined up on both sides

Kuaitong's intelligence is as high as 98, and his defection makes up for the shortcomings of the Bingzhou army in intelligence, and Changsun Sheng is like the two twin stars next to Emperor Zhangquan, shining brightly. If the recruited Liu Ji is brought under his command, it will definitely make the Zhangquan Group achieve a qualitative leap in intelligence.

Zhang Quan sat on the main seat, looked at everyone and said loudly: "Kuaitong is resourceful, you can do it for me and the state pastor Cao, do you have any objections?" ”

Everyone gave their hands: "We have no objection!" ”

"That's good!" Zhang Quan nodded and announced loudly: "Add Kuaitong to Bing Cao to engage in military affairs, and follow the army to participate in the military!" ”

"Thank you, lord!" Zhang Quan bowed and bowed.

Kuaitong's resourcefulness, second only to Zhang Liang, Chen Ping, and Fan Zeng when Chu and Han were fighting, the reason why Zhang Quan went to Meiji in person was for Kuaitong, and he was overjoyed to be able to take Kuaitong under his command.

Joy is rejoicing, business still has to be done, and compared with other states and counties, the population and economy of the state are slightly insufficient, and now it has a large area of land in Moda, and how to develop it still has to make a basic plan

Now, the two wise men of Bingzhou are here, looking around, Zhang Quan said solemnly: "Geng Zhi died tragically, Zhang Xiu was ambushed, there is no obstruction in the north, we will face the powerful Xiongnu, do you have a good plan?" ”

Changsun Sheng took the lead in standing up and said: "Mobei is desolate, sparsely populated, and it is not easy to garrison the army. ”

"The eldest grandson's sacrificial wine is not appropriate!" Kuaitong stood up and stopped: "Emperor Wu is tired of the wealth of the second emperor of Wenjing, and he has the strength of the whole country, and he has the genius of Wei Huoshi, who has been poor for decades, so he has chased the dead and chased the north, went deep into the desert, opened the Hexi Corridor, and sealed the wolf Juxu!" And our lord is only a barren land in the state, with a population of just over a million, only more than 50,000 soldiers and horses, more than 10,000 fine horsemen, and less than a month of grain and grass reserves, how can he go north? ”

"Kuai is engaged in this statement, since the Huns have been untold, their potential is not one in ten, and there are many contradictions in it, and there are geniuses such as Yang Yanzhao and Gao Changgong under the command of the lord, and there are also powerful people such as Long and Lin Chong, choose a good opportunity to fight and raise the war, it is completely possible to become the merit of Wei Huo!" Eldest grandson Sheng said.

"Nope! No! No! Kuai Tong shook his head hurriedly, "The Huns are definitely not what you and I see in front of me, since I became an adult, I have been deep in the desert, and the ambitions of the Huns and wolves are expanding day by day, and their momentum is far better than the past!" ”

The two of you say a word, and I fight for a word.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is really an emperor through the ages, the king of the world in terms of civil rule and martial arts, the economy and the people's livelihood adhere to the policy of the two emperors of Wenjing, especially in the military rare through the ages, the reign first pacified the turmoil in the southern Minyue Kingdom, and then began to replace the humiliating nature of the peace policy with military means to completely solve the threat of the Xiongnu in the north, and then sent the famous generals Wei Qing and Huo Qubing to attack the Xiongnu three times, collect the Hetao area, seize the Hexi Corridor, seal the wolf Juxu, and push the northern territory of the Han Dynasty from the Great Wall to Mobei at that time.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has made achievements in various fields, but in the end he fell into a reckless evaluation, Zhang Quan admired the martial arts of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but the lessons of the past and the future of the division, Zhang Quan had to consider carefully, if according to history, with Zhang Quan's strength today, there is a chance to have a miniature version of Wei Qing, Huo Quai's attack on the Huns, but because of the existence of the system, the Huns are not what they used to be, but Zhang Quan has not really grasped the information of the Huns.

Changsun Sheng's strategy is not available, and Kuaitong has been living in the desert, and there may be some bright ways.

Interrupting the argument between the two, Zhang Quan said: "Kuai engaged in existing objections, why don't you pour out the good plan in your heart?" ”

Kuaitong did not think twice, arched his hand, "After decades of recuperation and development, the Xiongnu are unprecedentedly powerful, but they have been far away from the desert, we rarely know, so it is quite inappropriate to go deep into the desert, I intend to build a city in the border place first, implement the policy of military tun, and gradually advance to the north every year according to the situation, so that the grassland can be ruled for a long time!" ”

Is it really possible to build a city on the border and govern the grassland for a long time?

In addition to the change of dynasties in the past 2,000 years, China has been constantly fighting with foreign races in the north, from the Xiongnu, Donghu, Wuhuan, Xianbei, Rouran, Murwei (Mongolian), Khitan, Turkic, Uighur, Jurchen, Dangxiang, Qiang, Di, Tubo, Qian, thousands of miles of frontier has never stopped the beacon smoke, this long border line is covered with white bones, and any handful of dirt is full of blood.

There has never been a dynasty that has ruled the grassland in the true sense, even if such as the first emperor Qin Shi Huang, the heroic Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and the Heavenly Khan Li Shimin, have all broken the Xiongnu and other northern alien races, but when it comes to rule, there is no one yet, not that they don't want to, but they don't agree with the grassland from the bottom of their bones.

The sky is vast and rich, the climate is warm, the soil is fertile, and it is suitable for habitation, while the grassland is bitter cold, desolate and barren, comparatively speaking, it is more suitable for the development of nomads, and it is difficult for agricultural culture to take root here, which has caused the face of foreign races to take defensive measures and rarely take the initiative to attack.

Kuaitong wants to build a city on the desert, this is to bring the farming culture to the grassland with the unprecedented development of nomadic culture, can this work?

Zhang Quan expressed skepticism, after all, 2,000 years of historical experience told him that this was impossible.

Zhang Quan clasped his arms in his hands, "Why don't you elaborate?" ”

"Although it is difficult to grow crops all year round like the Central Plains, there are still some alpine crops suitable for growing here, build a city again, implement the military tun, and be completely self-sufficient, cultivate and weave in spring and summer, and practice military affairs in winter and autumn, and the lord only needs a small amount of materials to get a winning division!"

"And the border city, the lord can open a mutual market with the Xiongnu and other foreign races, treat them equally, and exchange necessities, but the salt and iron trade must be strictly controlled, so that a large number of foreign nobles can be attracted to be stationed in the city.

"For a long time, the lord gradually pushed north to build cities, and these cities built on the prairie are like pearls connecting the Central Plains and the grassland, closely linking the two, and they can support each other as horns in wartime.

After the call, the quiet needle drop in the lobby can be heard, everyone was stunned by the bold idea of Kuaitong, if it can really be realized, it will be far beyond the merits of the first emperor and Han Wu, Qin Shi Huang built the Great Wall, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty chased the Xiongnu in the north, all of which can only solve the urgent needs of the moment, but can not solve the difficulties of the first life.

It was so crazy that if it weren't for the lord's praise for his extraordinary resourcefulness, everyone would have believed that he was a complete madman.

In the past two thousand years, there have been many eloquent masters, prodigies, and the northern alien races have never been completely solved, and only in the modern era of cold weapons can the grassland be regarded as a complete solution to this millennium problem.

According to Kuaitong said, there are still traces to follow in modern times, the northern alien settlements in modern times such as the Hetao is a famous granary, Mongolia also has grain planting, the Hexi Corridor is the main site for oil and grain planting, and in history the Tang and Ming dynasties have had a record of military tun inside and outside the Great Wall, and it is entirely possible to implement military tun.

If you can succeed, you will solve the unsolved problem that has plagued China for 2,000 years!

After a long time, Changsun Sheng stood up with his cheeks and hesitated: "The strategy of Kuai is not to say whether it is successful or not, the main consumption time is not short!" ”

Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, compared to Changsun Sheng's strategy is more practical, you might as well give it a try, thinking of this, Zhang Quan stood up, and a trace of resoluteness flashed in the tiger's eyes, "Order Gao Changgong and Yang Yanzhao to build cities in Meiji and Manbai respectively, implement the strategy of military tun, train cavalry, use each other's horns, guard against the Huns, and Kuaitong is responsible for the affairs of the two places!" ”

"Whoa!" Gao Changgong and Kuaitong replied. (To be continued.) )
