Early in the morning, Yushi County.

In the early morning, not only the young and strong, but also many children and women joined in the expansion of the city, the construction of the city wall, and the restoration of the port of Jin.

After all, as long as you go to build the city, you can get food, you can eat, Jiangdong is rich, the rain is abundant, the crops are abundant, food is not very important, but in the winter of Liaodong, food represents life, more important than anything.

As long as they can eat enough, they are willing to do anything, so the entire county is basically mobilized by the whole people to build this new port-like city little by little.

On this day, Sun Quan got down from the hot kang, walked out of the county office, looked at the hazy sky, and felt a lot better, in the cold winter season, it was already a good weather if it didn't snow.

Now it is almost December of the fourth year of the first peace, and it has been more than half a month since Jiangdong landed in the Yu clan, although Sun Quan is not a military general, he can be regarded as a long-term martial arts practice, and his physique is considered to be strong, and he has begun to gradually adapt to the cold weather in Liaodong.

It's still hard to get used to, but it's much better than when I first landed.

In the barracks, among the soldiers of Jiangdong, such as the overlord iron cavalry and the tiger warriors under the car, there are also many soldiers who began to gradually recover, after all, these soldiers were originally elite soldiers and had good physique, but they were not adapted to the weather here for a while, and they fell ill because they were not adapted to the water and soil.

As long as you get used to it, of course, there are many people who are more difficult to adapt, and it will take at least a few months to ease up, after all, they have lived in Jiangdong before, and suddenly they have arrived in Liaodong, which is icy and snowy, which is also inevitable.

Sun Quan took a few talismans to inspect the port of Lujin on the east side of Yushi County early in the morning, and he had his own ideas about this port that had been silent for two hundred years.

He divided this port and wanted to build two ports, one as a military port for warships, and the other as an ordinary landing port, which Sun Quan prepared for the caravan from Jiangdong to Liaodong in the future.

Liaodong is originally a bitter cold land, just relying on the power of the official, without a hundred years, it is absolutely impossible to develop this piece of white water and black mountain, so we must form a good exchange with Jiangdong, and businessmen are the best exchanges.

As soon as the goods circulate, the population will circulate, there will be money to be made, and no matter how bitter it is, there will be people who will come.

"Childe, you're here." It was Xu Bin who supervised the city wall and the port of Yujin, this is an honest man, because of Sun Quan's grain release, he is already dead set on the sudden Jiangdong army.

"How much more does this port need to be used?" Sun Quan squinted, looked at the Liaodong people who had been separated and were working in full swing, and asked.

"The craftsmen did the work according to Childe's instructions, and they estimated that it would take at least ten days to complete a rough port, but it would take at least a month to complete it all." Xu Bin said respectfully.

"Good."

Sun Quan looked at the secluded sea, showed a satisfied smile, and pondered for a moment before asking, "Is there enough food brought down from the warship now?" ”

Now the people of the Yu clan are eating the military food of the Jiangdong Navy, and more and more people are joining, and the cost is very large, which is a bit unexpected by Sun Quan, if Sun Ce didn't take Pingguo, and get a batch of grain stored by Gongsun Du in Pingguo City, I'm afraid that there will be a real gap before the arrival of Jiangdong's grain.

"Childe, the food we got from the navy has been consumed, but Pingguo's food has arrived, and we should be able to support it for half a month!" Xu Bin hurriedly said.

"Okay, there is enough time for half a month, and the grain in Jiangdong should arrive soon." Sun Quan estimated that as long as there were no accidents, Jiangdong would be able to transport grain within five days at the latest.

After looking at the port of Jinjin, Sun Quan went to see the south wall of the city under construction, now the city has taken on a new look, Sun Quan not only repaired the city walls on the east and west sides, extending from the city wall, the largest area occupies the place, and he also expanded dozens of miles from the south side, building a new south city wall.

After the renovation, this is at least double the original expansion, into a brand new city, in terms of area, not much smaller than the first city in Liaodong, Xiangping.

The reason why Sun Quan wasted a lot of effort, in fact, this is planning for the future, he regards this as a passage from Liaodong to Jiangdong and Qingzhou, as long as it develops, the population circulates, and the ships run, it must be prosperous.

After watching the construction of the city wall, Sun Quan returned to the county government leisurely.

Now the county government of the Yu clan is Li Nie handling affairs, although Pingguo was taken by Sun Ce and them, they have always been in turmoil secretly, so Sun Quan sent Li Gu to Pingguo, he is more suitable to stabilize Pingguo's hearts.

Gongsun Du will not stop there, as long as he has a little brain, he will recapture Pingguo regardless of a single qiē, because he knows that if the Jiangdong Army is allowed to stand firm in Pingguo, it will be tantamount to acquiescing to the Jiangdong Army landing in Liaodong, which he will never allow.

There must have been a bloody battle in Pingguo.

"Childe, Pingguo's eldest son has sent a letter, eight hundred miles in an emergency." Li Nie knelt under the desk in the lobby, handling affairs very easily, he used to be Dong Zhuo's henchman, the power leaned towards the government and the opposition, and he had dealt with the big affairs above the court, this little thing of the Yu family was not worth mentioning at all.

"Is Gongsun Du sending troops?"

Sun Quan spread out the envelope, his eyes moved slightly, and he looked at it: "Good guy, it seems that this time Gongsun Du is angry, menacing, the letter said, this time Gongsun Du at least sent more than 15,000 soldiers and horses, a little tricky, Xiande, do you think we can hold Pingguo?" ”

"With the strength of the eldest prince, it is not difficult to defend Pingguo at all, after all, we still have tens of thousands of navies that can land at any time."

Li Ne said softly: "Coupled with the strength of the navy, the bravery of the eldest prince and the resourcefulness of the governor of Zhou, Gongsun Du does not have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and he can't take Pingguo." ”

"The navy is docked, but it is just prepared, at present, the navy also has a lot of weather that is not adaptable, it is better at sea, if it lands, it will be even more troublesome, and the combat power that can be used is not much, so they will not use the navy unless it is absolutely necessary." SUN Quandao,

"Then it's troublesome, as far as I know, the eldest prince has less than 4,000 soldiers and horses, and the people in Pingguo City do not belong to us, at least 1,000 people must be left to suppress it, and the eldest prince's troops will be even less, this battle is hanging!"

"Yes, I didn't expect that on a snowy day, Gongsun Du not only sent troops, but also came ruthlessly all of a sudden, it seems that he wants to fight quickly." Sun Quan had some worry in his eyes.

Li Nie squinted, a pair of black eyes in his eyes kept flowing, the corners of his mouth grinned, and he suddenly looked at Sun Quan and asked: "Childe, in fact, this battle may not be a good thing, have you ever thought about swallowing Liaodong in one go, Gongsun Du gave us a good opportunity this time." ”

"Swallow Liaodong in one go?"

Sun Quan was a little stunned, and looked at Li Nie with some incredulity: Good guy, you really dare to think that unless Jiangdong can send 100,000 troops, if you want to occupy Liaodong, you can only take it step by step.

Gongsun Du is definitely not a busy person, in the world, in fact, he is also an outstanding prince, able to lay the foundation of Liaodong, and has repeatedly attacked foreign tribes, fighting Goguryeo, fighting Karasuma, this is a strong person.

"Opportunity? What a chance, even if there is a chance, it is useless, if you want to capture Liaodong, you must land more than 50,000 elite soldiers. Although Sun Quan didn't quite understand what the opportunity was referring to, he still shook his head and replied.

"Not so much."

A sharp light flashed across Li Nie's eyes, and he spread out a large map of Liaodong, and said: "In the past few free days, I took a look at the information you have collected, and a certain interesting situation was found when studying the strength of Gongsun Du in Liaodong. ”

"What's the situation?" Sun Quan asked with interest.

"Liaodong's forces are too widely distributed, which gives us a chance to capture the thief and capture the king." The corners of Li Nie's mouth outlined a hint of implicit meaning, and carefully analyzed with Sun Quan: "Although Liaodong is barren, Gongsun Du is a strong hero, and the troops under his command are actually quite a lot, adding up, there should be almost 100,000 troops."

A few years ago, he had attacked Goguryeo, and now one-third of his troops are in Xuansu, one-third in Lelang, and there are also 10,000 in Liaodong's vassal states, so the maximum number of troops in Xiangping is more than 20,000.

But in order to make a quick decision, he did not hesitate to send 10,000 troops to 50,000 Pingguo, as long as the eldest prince dragged him this part of the troops, then his lair in Xiangping was only about 10,000 troops, Jiangdong Army can land from the sea, so we have the opportunity to smash Huanglong, if at this time, we suddenly attack Xiangping, we will be able to kill him a can't get out of time, capture the thief and capture the king, as long as you take Gongsun Du, the entire Liaodong is ours. ”

"But even then, we don't have enough troops." Sun Quan was said by Li Nie, and he was still a little tempted, if he could win Gongsun Du, he would be able to seize the entire territory of Liaodong in three months at most, this is definitely a **, even if it is worth the risk, but he thought about it, and shook his head: "If we mobilize tens of thousands of navies, maybe we have troops, but you should know very well that in this weather, if our Jiangdong Army lands in Liaodong, it will take a period of time to adapt, and it is too late." ”

"Childe, in fact, we don't have soldiers, so we can borrow soldiers." Li Nie pondered for a moment and said yes.

"Borrowed soldiers?"

When Sun Quan heard this, he was a little surprised, his heart moved slightly, and he hurriedly asked, "Where did you borrow it?" ”

"Here!" A trace of essence appeared in Li Nie's eyes, and his finger pointed to the land of Youzhou.

"Gongsun Chan!"

When Sun Quan saw it, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Beiyou and Xiliang are similar, as long as it is in the cold winter season, Youzhou will inevitably lack food, Gongsun Chan must be short of food, if we borrow troops from him with food, Gongsun Chan should not refuse us."

Li Nie explained softly.
