"The Lord means!" Kan Pingtian's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said thoughtfully.

"Lord, what kind of dumb riddle are you playing, boss! Just say what you have! The black bear said dissatisfied.

"Get on the map!" Yang Zilu shouted at the guards outside the door.

"No!"

It didn't take long for a large map to appear on the main hall, the map was newly made, and Yang Zilu also participated in the depiction. With the help of memory, the coastline of China and the Yangtze River were roughly drawn. In other places, old hunters and merchants among the Shanyue people were invited to tell the story from memory, and then the cartographic officials drew it on the map.

"It's huge!" The black bear leaned over curiously, looked at the map and sighed.

Yang Zilu rolled his eyes when he heard this, he was speechless about this muddy person. Although this map roughly depicts the southeastern part of China, such as the present-day Wu, Yue, Han, and Gumi kingdoms, it is considered an important military item in this era. I don't know how many generals are willing to spend a lot of money to buy, and when it comes to this muddy person's mouth, he only gets two words 'really big' evaluation, what can you do besides being speechless?

Yang Zilu pointed to the map, and under the stroke of Yang Zilu's fingertips, a black line that zigzags but leads straight to the seashore is revealed: "After investigation, there is an ancient road here that can lead directly to the Sanyi people living by the sea, and as long as it is slightly repaired, it can become a road for marching." Now the only question is how long the sea salt of the Han Kingdom can last! ”

Kan Pingtian had already prepared, and blurted out without thinking about it: "Folk sea salt is generally stored for half a month to a month, and some time ago, Yu Miao just bought a batch of sea salt from Wu Guo and came back. Reluctantly, it is estimated that it can support the Han Kingdom for two months. Even three months is not unavoidable, but in this case, I am afraid that many people will experience slight weakness in their limbs. ”

"Two months? It should be enough! Yang Zilu frowned, clenched his fists, and said in a deep voice. In fact, two months is not enough, because the Sanyi tribe slowly migrated from the Qi area to the south of the Yue country from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and occupied this plain by the sea. They have absorbed a lot of the culture of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and their level of civilization is much higher than that of the Shanyue people, and it is not as easy for Yang Zilu to deal with the Shanyue people as in the past. If you want to subdue them in two months, and you have to boil the sea salt and transport it back to the Han Kingdom, this is probably not an easy task.

Obviously, everyone else knew that he was difficult about this matter, and Ou Bijiang bowed his head and said: "Lord, let the ministers and Ou go to Wu State, and the ministers should buy a batch of sea salt and smuggle it back!" ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!" When Yu Miao heard this, he also bowed his head.

Yang Zilu waved his hand and said, "Get up!" It's too risky, and your value is a thousand times more important than sea salt in the eyes of the widow! 10,000 times! ”

When Yu Miao and Ou Bijiang heard this, they straightened their waists helplessly.

Yang Zilu turned his head sideways and said to Dong Kuang bus: "Dong Kuanggong, go down now to prepare supplies!" I also conveyed the order this time, and this time there will be 500 troops! Don't let the 500 soldiers who have just returned from the expedition participate. ”

"Please rest assured, Lord, that the ministers will prepare the supplies and orders to be delivered to the Lord in one day for the five hundred men to go on the expedition!" Dong Kuanggong, the doctor in charge of the warehouse, money, grain and cloth, responded.

Yang Zilu nodded, looked at Kan Pingtian and said, "Old Kan, this time I still have to trouble you to personally sit in Jiukui City!" ”

"Lord, please let the ministers take command this time! Even if you can't, let the ministers follow the army. Kan Pingtian pleaded.

"Nope! You've just returned from a trip and you're tired. Don't be reckless in this matter! Besides, if you are with the army, who can sit in Jiukui City for the widows? Only you can reassure the widow! Yang Zilu said.

"No!" When Kan Pingtian heard this, he couldn't help but be moved in his heart, and he didn't say anything anymore.

Yang Zilu didn't know whether to be happy or sad, because Kan Pingtian couldn't expose new weapons when he went out to help Wu Guo, and the soldiers who did not go out were only 300 longbowmen and 100 cavalry, and there were 100 ghost-faced soldiers, and the hand-to-hand combat soldiers in frontal combat were very weak.

Fortunately, after the Han people learned of the situation, many people spontaneously asked to participate in the war, and Yang Zilu's army had reached 800 after leaving the border of the Han State. If Yang Zilu is willing to stay for a while, there is no problem at all with the number of troops exceeding 1,000.

After leaving the Han Kingdom, there were mountains all the way, and the miasma was even more dense at night and early in the morning. Fortunately, it is the people of Yamagoe who live in the woods. If it were the Central Plains army, I am afraid that it would have been dragged down by this geographical advantage and miasma, but even so, Yang Zilu was not happy, he could only march in the daytime, and he couldn't even make a quick march.

Although there are ancient roads along the way, the ancient roads are ancient roads, and I don't know how many years ago the ancestors left them, and they have long been in tatters. Now it is just a path that has been artificially carved out by hunters, and Yang Zilu has to widen the road when they walk it. For this reason, even if the Shanyue people under Yang Zilu are all good at wading through mountains and rivers, they are only walking forty miles every day.

What made Yang Zilu even more depressed was that the distance of the ancient road on the map was only one hundred and forty miles, and it stands to reason that it could be completed in four days at most, but this is not the case. The mountain roads are all winding, and a mountain is shown on the map as ten miles, but if you climb over this mountain, I am afraid it is not surprising that the distance covered is twenty miles. And can climbing a mountain compare to the speed of walking on flat ground?

It took ten days of hard work to open the road and build a bridge in the mountains and rivers, and the 800 Han Kingdom passed through this dense primeval forest. Out of the dense forest, I immediately saw dozens of smoke soaring into the sky like black snakes, and an earthen city entered everyone's field of vision. Outside the castle are fields that look like giants measuring and dividing them with a ruler, which is a true well field system. Yang Zilu couldn't imagine that it was still so primitive here, of course, no matter how primitive it was, it was much stronger than the Shanyue people in the past.

By this time, Yang Zilu already knew that the ancient system of the Jingtian system had been seriously damaged long ago. Even in the remote part of the Yue Kingdom, the well field system was also affected, and many doctors' food estates were changed to levy taxes to increase the active surname of the peasants. It was also the first time for Yang Zilu to see such a large-scale well field system.

"It's such a great place! There are so many fields! Yang Zilu sighed.

Yu Miao, who was following Yang Zilu, shook his head and said: "The lord is wrong, don't look at the many fields here, but because it is close to the sea and eaten by sea salt, the land is not fertile. Such a field is only one acre, two and a half stones, or even two stones, in a normal year! ”

(Generally, the annual yield of the field is three stones, and the current unit is one hundred and eighty catties, and the yield per mu is really small.) ）

"No matter what, it's better than the poor mountains and bad water behind you!" Yang Zilu glanced at the dense forest behind him with palpitations.

Yu Miao smiled when he heard this, this question was not easy for him to answer.

Mang Gao pulled Yang Zilu's sleeve and said, "Lord, look! These Sanyi people seem to have discovered us! ”

Yang Zilu looked over, as if it was true, there was a loud horn sound in the direction of the city, and the farmers and peasant women who were originally in the fields spread their feet one by one and fled towards the city quickly.

Yang Zilu took a look, is this okay? Let you enter the city, and will it not be much more difficult for me to attack the city? Yang Zilu immediately ordered loudly: "The cavalry attack!" ”

The sound of a hurried horn sounded immediately.

The 100 cavalry, who were in the vanguard, immediately rushed out of the dense forest when they heard the sound of the horn, like a tornado. But at this time, the Sanyi people in Tucheng sent troops, and Yang Zilu hurriedly asked the cavalry to come back and wait and see what happened.

After half a ring, Yang Zilu found that the Sanyi tribe seemed to want to fight in the field, and Yang Zilu immediately led the army to the plain. In Yang Zilu's opinion, as long as he sends troops, he is most afraid that these guys from the Sanyi clan will shrink in the earth city. At that time, even if the city is captured, the Han soldiers will lose a lot, which is not what Yang Zilu wants to see.

It seemed that there were only eight hundred people on the other side, and there was a burst of laughter from the direction of the Sanyi army. seems to be mocking Yang Zilu for not being able to measure himself. The faces of the Han soldiers showed indignation, and Yang Zilu smiled disappretently, You will know how powerful the Han army is in a while. Even Yang Zilu was a little grateful to the Sanyi people, and they smiled like this, which omitted Yang Zilu to boost morale.

However, in a way, the Sanyi tribe really has the strength to mock, and about 1,200 people have walked out of the earthen city. And there was also an army of chariots, consisting of thirty chariots of rudimentary troops. Probably not very good at horse training, the military vehicles used by the Sanyi tribe are all light military vehicles pulled by two horses, and there are only three soldiers on the military vehicles. In the middle is the driver, and the left side is called Rong Zuo, who is responsible for archery. The right side is called Rong Right, responsible for fighting, using a long Ge that is one zhang and five feet long.

"It seems that the Sanyi clan is quite rich!" Yang Tugou's voice full of jealousy came, and he was jealous of the war horses of the Sanyi clan. Thirty military chariots require sixty war horses, which is sixty percent of the war horses in the cavalry army today. And looking at the head, it may not be as powerful as the bantam horse on the mountains, but it is a head taller than the bantam horse, and it is more suitable for running on the plains. Yang Tugou couldn't wait to snatch these war horses intact.

"The people of Sanyi are not rich, but very rich!" Yang Zilu's face was a little ugly, and he glanced at the south, where a corner of an earthen city could be vaguely seen. Although he had known that there were a lot of people in the Sanyi tribe, Yang Zilu didn't expect the city to be so dense.
