Zhuang Yi smiled and nodded, stood up and saluted everyone, and then said unhurriedly: "Building a city is a meticulous and tedious matter, you must first prepare materials, including masonry and wood, and the most important thing is craftsmen, as long as there are a large number of craftsmen in the tooth tent, this is not a problem." So what I mean is that we should concentrate on the young and strong labor force first, half of them prepare the materials by hand, and half of them participate in the training, which can be carried out on a rotational basis, and when the materials are ready, they can do their best. ”

Zhuang Yi paused for a moment and continued: "As for the location of the city, this can only be built with a royal city first, and then a fort in twenty miles, a military city in fifty miles, with the royal city as the center, and spread to all sides around, so it is easier to act. And the cities of the tribes can only be built after the war, as long as this battle is won, everything is not a problem. ”

"And what about our tribesmen?" Sunu asked a little anxiously.

"There is definitely more than one military fort in the military city, are you still worried that you can't accommodate it? It's really not good, there is still a royal city, you can move here in wartime, I don't think you patriarchs really have anything to worry about. Zhuang Yi explained with a smile.

"Our department is on the north side of the defense line, and it is also the closest to the tooth tent, so can the city be built first?" When Aunt He heard this, she couldn't help but be overjoyed, and immediately got up and asked.

"This should work! But in the war, all the ministries need to move closer to the tents. Where to build a city, where to build a fort, the exact location needs to refer to the map, in short, a herdsman will never be allowed to sleep in the wilderness. ”

What Zhuang Dalang said is very true, and the general situation has been clearly explained. There is no smooth sailing in the world, let's take the first step, and then we will discuss if there is any problem, do you have anything else to say? Turus asked.

The patriarchs and chieftains in the tent whispered to each other, exchanged opinions privately, and finally reached a consensus, and the matter was decided.

Turus was overjoyed, and seeing that the hour was still early, he asked Shuli to fetch a map for everyone to see, and everyone was familiar with the surrounding terrain, and after some deliberation, Turus decided to build the royal city in the bazaar east of the tent. Because it is surrounded by mountains and rivers, it is indeed a good place to build a city, and everyone has no objections.

Zhuang Yi's defense article was submitted to Tules, and the other four clan leaders were actually very happy to accept it, but this was to give up the property of young cattle and sheep, and there was always a little bit of flesh pain in his heart, but in the long run, there was a lot to do, and there was no reason to refuse at all. Now that the main events have been agreed, the details will come.

Training! In fact, the Xi people are young and strong, and rarely carry out formal training exercises, only the guards of the king of Xi will do this, how can the rest of the tribes have this financial resources, not to mention that the grassland people have grown up on horseback since childhood, and they are born to be riders, and they do not need too much training.

Of course, this is what they think, and Zhuang Yi doesn't see it that way. Those herdsmen may have good riding skills, but they are not up to the standard of cavalry in his eyes. Real cavalry, the cost is too expensive, the same needs to be formally trained, the cost of consumption of grain and grass is amazing, successfully training a cavalry, enough to train three to five infantry, so in an army, the number of cavalry does not need to be too much, and the mixed infantry is the king. Although it was a steppe terrain, half of the cavalry reached the sky.

But this is not a matter of Zhuang Yi's upper and lower lips, it still needs to be discussed, and Turles will finally determine the plan for selecting generals and training troops. Tules is also unsure of Zhuang Yi's ability to train soldiers, and the patriarchs of various tribes are even more so.

"Anyway, it will take three to five days for the young and strong people of all departments to gather in the tooth tent, and Dalang can sort out the clues first in these few days and then report to me. In addition, the specific number of people in my Ah Hui Department is in charge of Elder Yuda, and you can consult with him later, so that you can do things first while you are free, so that everyone can see your ability. Turus said with a smile.

"Good! I still say the same thing, first train a thousand old and weak, and become an army in five days! Good to teach the tribal chiefs to rest assured! Zhuang Yi said categorically.

"Haha...... Young people are just motivated! A certain self will help you deal with the beginning and end, and you can come to the school early tomorrow morning! Elder Yuda smiled without seeing it, and readily agreed.

"It turns out that there is a school field, so it will be even better!" Zhuang Yi was pleasantly surprised, he had never seen the Xi soldiers gather for training after coming to the tent for so long, and he thought that they had no school at all.

This is his misunderstanding, the tooth tent camp occupies a small area, of course, it is inconvenient to set up a training school, at most it is just a small school field, 1,000 soldiers spread out in formation, the area is very large, and the daily guard of the tooth tent is only 500 people. There are tens of thousands of people in the entire Ah Hui Department, which are camped separately, and the small heads are in charge of daily affairs, scattered around the dental tent, and the large school field will certainly not be in the dental tent camp area.

After noon, the important matter was tentatively agreed, and Turus did not leave the people to eat, and announced the adjournment of the meeting, and everyone was busy with their own affairs. Zhuang Yi and Zhang Yitai also said goodbye and were about to return to the station, but Xie Ra followed behind.

"Zhuang Dalang! In the future, you and I will be my own family, if you need my help, just send someone to say, brother, I don't have anything else, this heart is hot! ”

"Huh! Thank you, Patriarch Xie Ra! You can rest assured...... If the Khitans raise an army to come, they will definitely be defeated! I can tell you about this first...... Anyway, you introduced me to King Xi, oh...... It's the father-in-law! There's nothing wrong with that! The matter was done, Zhuang Yi was in a good mood, patting his chest and taking care of it.

"That's good, that's good...... In this case, I will go back to Wulieshui first. Five days later, I hope the soldiers you have trained will not disappoint me! Patriarch Xie smiled hehe, with an expression that you understand, which instantly made Zhuang Yi feel a lot of pressure.

After the Xie Ran clan went for a long time, Zhang Yitai smiled and said: "Your stall is too big, I'm worried about you!" To build a city, you have to prepare materials, and I'm afraid that time is too late! ”

Zhuang Yi replied: "Things are done, what's the urgency, you can take your time to build the city, I plan to entrust you and Monk Yangguang to be responsible, as for the training, I will come by myself!" And Mr. Limin, I want to ask him to coordinate in the center and help me take charge of things, he may soon return to Hebei, and then I will ask you to go to the top, what do you think of this arrangement? ”

"Good! I think the same way, so should we discuss with Monk Yangguang and Mr. Limin now and listen to their opinions? ”

"That's exactly how it should be! It's noon now, and it's time to go to dinner. In the afternoon, we simply took everyone around, inspected the surrounding terrain and environment, and talked about the details of the city building by the way, so as to meet the Yaxing that we could not travel to the grassland, and then we would be busy. Zhuang Yi replied with a smile.

Zhang Yitai was overjoyed and readily agreed, and the two immediately went to see Zhu Yongji and Master Yangguang.
