Chapter Forty-Eight: The Growth of the Breeze

Today's Chapter 2:

Li Qing's general's mansion, because he insisted on not wanting to build a new one, has been located at the top of this slope, and although it is still the same wooden house, it has still changed a lot from last winter.

The wall made of three-fold soil, covered with green bricks and stones, the thickness has reached several feet, the height has reached more than one zhang, from the slope down to the top, although it is an elevation angle, but still can only see the roof of the general's mansion, above the four corners, all the sentry towers made of stone are taller than the sentry towers in the barracks, a sentry tower can be stationed dozens of soldiers, between the stacks of the sentry tower, there is a faint cold light flashing, that is the scorpion crossbow. Li Qing's personal guard team had previously been siphoned off by Qingfeng to send dozens of people to the Survey and Statistics Department, but in this round of army expansion, it was replenished to 200 people. It's twice as big as the previous one. This also makes the annex buildings of the General's Mansion more, dozens of steps away from the wooden house of the General's Mansion, is a row of stone and blue brick built of the guard barracks.

Outside the courtyard wall, a stone step has also been built, Xu Yunfeng mobilized the people, dug up dozens of pine and cypress trees from the mountain, moved to both sides of the steps, and the other open space was also transplanted with all kinds of trees, and the originally bare side of the gentle slope became lush.

The wide gate separates the General's Mansion from the outside into two worlds, and the guards with knives on all sides stand straight on both sides of the gate, so that the General's Mansion has added a few solemn atmosphere, and at the lintel, the five gilded characters of the Changsheng Camp General's Mansion are shining, and these words are written by Li Qing himself.

Qingfeng's Survey and Statistics Department is still located in the General's Palace, but another blue brick house was built as an office location, perhaps because the name of the Survey and Statistics Department is too strange and awkward, and the high-level executives of the Changsheng Battalion, who are familiar with the inside situation, habitually use the inner study to refer to this special department, because this department was established in Li Qing's study, and was led by Qingfeng, who was originally in charge of study affairs.

Shang Haibo, as Li Qing's chief strategist, also left the military camp and moved to the General's Mansion to participate in military affairs. Now in the entire general's mansion, there are more than 300 people from all over the place.

Standing on the sentry tower of the General's Mansion, you can overlook the entire old camp of Chongxian, because of the expansion of the army, the left, center and right wings of the soldiers of the battalion form a triangular layout, in the middle of them, is the craftsman battalion, the women's battalion and the people of the county seat.

Chongxian is not ready to rebuild the county seat, but to build a new settlement on the basis of the old camp, and is not ready to build the city wall again, in Li Qing's words, we don't have so much money to build the city wall, too short and thin, it is better not to have it, if you want to build a new strong and strategically valuable new city, it will cost a sea of silver. This is also the reason why when the barbarians attack, they must tear down all these walls, you want to rebuild them, okay, then the financial delay will also drag you to death. And the second reason is that Li Qing's words made Shang Haibo and other people who rebuilt the county no longer speak, Li Qing said, people's hearts are walls, not walls. As long as the people of Chongxian County are united, even if the Kou soldiers come again, they can also be stopped. Otherwise, what is the use of the city wall no matter how high it is, and the previous Chongxian city wall is not high or thick? It's not that he was drummed down by the soldiers.

Since Chongxian was not on the front line of resisting the barbarians, Shang Haibo and others were not insisting, and let Li Qing be the master. At this time, Chongxian, the silver is indeed spent like flowing water, the construction of Ji Ming Ze Fort is very smooth, Li Qing designed the fortress is not big, but it is very profitable, this is Shang Haibo and several generals after making a model after repeated arguments to get the conclusion, the cost is not large, but the excavation of Ji Ming Ze, this is a very manpower and material resources of the work. Fortunately, the mud that was turned out was piled up on the barren field and dried for a few days, and the soldiers hurriedly sowed the seeds, hoping that there would be a first round of harvest during the autumn harvest. Now the chicken Mingze has changed greatly, the planned lake has been dug halfway, although there is no water storage, but the scale can be seen, and the dug silt is covered with dozens of hectares of wasteland, seeing that these original barren mountains can be harvested in the autumn as a gratifying land, everyone is happy in their hearts.

In the study, Qingfeng was holding a stack of case files to report to Li Qing the information that the Survey and Statistics Department had just received and analyzed, and there were very few literate people in the Survey and Statistics Department, and a few of them had just passed the literacy stage, and Qingfeng was doing the analysis and other affairs by himself. After merging the shadows of the Li clan in Dingzhou in Yizhou, a great deal of information of all kinds was gathered in the Survey and Statistics Department, and the work was extremely arduous, and sometimes Qingfeng was buried in the piles of documents at night, picking out some information that was useful or influential to the current Changsheng camp.

"General, I think this piece of information is the most valuable." The slightly immature Qingfeng handed Li Qing a scroll at the top, "The barbarian Dadan Yu Bayar appointed Wanyan Bulu as the king of the left school, and led 10,000 elite horsemen to enter the upper forest. ”

Qingfeng's eyes are dark, obviously he didn't rest well last night, Li Qingwei, who took over the case file, was a little apologetic, maybe he shouldn't let such a delicate woman take over such a complicated job, staying up late is the number one killer of beautiful women.

"Now the situation we are facing is not so severe, you don't have to work so hard, you have to pay attention to rest." Li Qing blamed: "You are the head of the Survey and Statistics Department, you don't have to do everything yourself, you have to learn to let go and let the people below do it." ”

Qingfeng's heart was warm, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, but he insisted: "I have just learned to do things, and the responsibility of this survey and statistics department is very heavy, I dare not slack off, my subordinates are now short of manpower, there are not many literate people, I can only hold it first, and it will be better in the future." ”

Li Qing glanced at the case file and said, "You can transfer someone from the shadows." ”

Qingfeng shook his head: "General, you said that the Survey and Statistics Department is the core department of the Changsheng Battalion, and I don't worry about the people on the shadow side. I'd rather work my own. ”

Although I was satisfied, I really felt sorry for the woman in front of me who was getting thinner and thinner, in the past few months, she had lost a lot of weight, her waist was thinner, her plump breasts were more prominent, but her cheekbones were also a little prominent.

"Well, Bayar's move is probably in preparation for the Kou soldiers after the autumn, it's okay, let's just pay attention." Li Qing didn't care about the authentic way.

Qingfeng shook his head: "General, I have a different opinion. ”

Yes? Li Qing was a little surprised, looked at Qingfeng, and said, "Tell me about it?" ”

Qingfeng was a little uneasy, but with Li Qing's encouragement, he couldn't help but be a little bolder, "If it's another general, it must be to prepare for the autumn queen, but it's a complete face, and the situation is different." ”

Li Qing was interested, and couldn't help but sit up straight, it seems that Qingfeng is growing up very quickly!

"Why is it different? The current barbarians are not ready to attack at this time. ”

Qingfeng nodded and said: "It should have been like this, presumably Bayar also ordered Wanyan Bulu in this way, but don't forget, General Don't forget, Wanyan Bulu and we have the hatred of exterminating the clan, the hatred of killing the son, he commanded tens of thousands of elite soldiers, stationed in the forest, and Fuyuan Fortress is only two hundred miles away, morning and evening, general, do you think Wanyan Bulu led a much stronger force than his previous tribe, and with a monstrous hatred in his heart, he will obediently stay in the forest and not move?" ”

Li Qing's expression became solemn, "Will he disturb Fuyuan Fortress?" ”

"I think that's for sure, he will definitely do it, and maybe, in the midst of constant harassment, he will suddenly change from a feint attack to a real attack and take Fuyuan."

Li Qing shook his head: "Although the Fuyuan Fortress is rebuilt, as long as it is fully prepared, it will not be possible for 10,000 troops to besiege the fortress stationed by the 3,000 soldiers of the Xuanfeng Battalion. ”

Qingfeng's face turned worried, "That's exactly what I'm worried about." ”

Li Qing said strangely: "What are you worried about?" ”

"General, if the damage of the Xuanfeng battalion of Fuyuan Fortress increases under the constant blows of Wanyan Bulu, and we are now the closest army to Fuyuan, what will Xiao Dashuai do?"

Li Qinghuo stood up, and there was a loud bang in his head, "I understand what you said, Xiao Yuanshan also knows that Wanyan Bulu is a feint, he doesn't have to worry about the other party must take the fortress at this time, then at this time, maybe it's time to clean me up." ”

Qingfeng nodded, "Yes, I think so too, Xiao Dashuai will order us to rotate and consume our strength in the non-stop battle." ”

Li Qing admits that there is a complete possibility, many of the actions of the Chongxian Changsheng Battalion cannot be concealed from Dingzhou, but the affairs in the military camp have always been highly secretive, whether it is the military level, equipment, or the expansion of the army, it is impossible for the outside world to know, Xiao Yuanshan must think that even if he expands the Changsheng Battalion to a full strength, the large number of soldiers is still a group of farmers, and even the army composed of veterans in the Xuanfeng Battalion has suffered heavy losses, so if these new recruits go up, wouldn't they be justifiable cannon fodder.

Li Qing's expression became solemn, "Please come over Mr. Shang." ”
