In the early morning of the next day, Li Guang immediately set out from Yuyang, crossed the Yushui with Yuyang's lieutenants, lieutenants, and county orders, and arrived at Qiping County in the northeast of Yuyang County at about noon. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Yeopyeong County is a very young county.

It was only about thirty or forty years ago that it first appeared on the map of the Han Dynasty.

Until then, it was just a township.

Even now, the status of this place in the Yuyang defense circle is dispensable.

Because there is a Xi in front of it, there is a slippery salt in the east, and there is a white sandalwood plug and a place for the governor of Yaoyang.

And these forts are all military forts painstakingly managed by the Qin and Yan people, if they are all lost, the low walls and narrow areas of this Qianping City will definitely not be able to stop the Hun iron cavalry!

But after Li Guang took everyone through the territory of Qianping County roughly, he suddenly frowned and said, "Gentlemen, let's go back and take a closer look at this Qianping ......."

Although everyone didn't understand it too much, they still followed Li Guang back and walked around Liping again.

But this time, Li Guang took everyone to walk more carefully.

This time, they climbed the mountain, looked at the plateau, and then went deep into Daze to inspect the road conditions.

And a lieutenant accompanying Li Guang led a dozen or so personal soldiers, holding paper and pencils, walking around and drawing, making everyone a little confused.

Finally, when Li Guang led people down a hillside in Qianping, Yang Shi couldn't help but ask, "Why does the general attach so much importance to Qianping?" And these parts of the general, what is the matter with pen and paper? ”

Li Guang smiled when he heard this, beckoned to the captain and called to his side, and introduced to everyone: "This is the captain Wu Cheng, the top student of the martial arts!" It took me a lot of effort to snatch it from Wei Chi of the Xiliu Battalion, and it is indeed a rare talent! Especially in Kanyu mapping and ranging! ”

The lieutenant walked over with his subordinates, and after giving a military salute to Li Guang and the others, he said a little shyly: "I don't dare to be a general, I just did my duty......

But the eyes of the generals of Yuyang looking at this Wu Cheng have all changed.

Now, almost every senior officer of the Han army, as long as he is still motivated and wants to go to Chang'an Wuyuan to gild, will inevitably pay attention to the movements of Wuyuan.

And now, the martial arts of the Han family is known to have three major majors,

One is riding, one is walking, and the other is staff.

Each corresponds to specialties such as cavalry, infantry, and civilian staff officers, and of course there are subdivisions of each, but in general, in the martial arts you can watch your hobby and study whatever public content you want to learn.

Wuyuan is not forbidden, the cavalry major runs to the staff major to listen to the lectures, and in the same way, the infantry major can also run around and listen everywhere, as long as you can graduate.

However, this is just the appearance of Wu Yuan.

In fact, becoming a student of Wuyuan is only the first step.

Students who are capable, excel, or have a specialty in one area often receive special attention.

And get certain special treatments.

And this is the watershed for the students of Wuyuan Middle School.

Once this attention is gained, the student will immediately enter a whole new world, receive some special training, and even receive one-on-one teaching from famous Han generals!

In fact, only those who get such attention are the real martial arts students, the rising stars of the Han family.

Their names were directly recorded in the archives of Lantai, and they received the attention of the Lantai scholars, and even directly entered the high-level of the state, such as Prime Minister Zhou Yafu, Che Cavalry General Yi Zong, Wei General Zhidu's attention list, and even the blue eyes of today's sons.

This is a system for military generals that the Han family extended from the Mofu Sheren system.

In the Han military was privately called: List of future generals.

In the martial arts, the people who can learn and master surveying and mapping and Kanyu techniques all belong to this category of rising stars who are included in the list of 'future generals'.

They are the future giants of the Empire!

Behind everyone, there may be a giant.

And this surveying and mapping and ranging technology is not simple at all!

In today's era when all kinds of military books are flying all over the sky, mastering and learning to survey and map and be able to understand geography has become something that every soldier desires!

Because, from the Battle of Ma Yi to the Battle of Gaoque, one thing has been proved - soldiers must also understand culture, especially mathematics and geography!

For those who don't understand, it is difficult to lead good soldiers and win battles!

And Yuyang has always been a cold and bitter place.

This Captain Wu Chengwu is probably the officer with the highest level of culture and technology since the founding of Yuyang!

This is a golden thigh!

Even immediately, some people began to ponder: whether the martial lieutenant is married.

Li Guang smiled, took a map that had been preliminarily mapped from Wu Cheng's hand, and looked at it in his hand.

The map mapped by Wu Cheng was drawn in accordance with the standard military mapping method of the Han army.

The various symbols and lines on it depict the entire geography and landform of Qianping vividly, and after just one glance, Li Guang already had a preliminary impression of Qianping in his mind.

He handed the map to the generals of Yuyang and asked them to pass it on and look at it.

After everyone finished reading, Li Guang looked at them and said, "Gentlemen, I think, maybe everyone was wrong in the past!" ......He took the map, which was still the first draft, and only drew the general geography and landform of Qianping, but it was enough to tell Li Guang and all those who had seen this map: Here, the land at his feet, is likely to become the key area of the Han-Hungarian war!

The reason is very simple: don't look at this place, it is not long to be built, there are few dwarves in the city, and the traffic is inconvenient, there is only a straight branch road from here, connecting the slippery salt, white sandalwood, Yuxi, and Yaoyang.

But......

To its east, the flat terrain and the open east, the right and northern flat.

Here, it happened to be stuck between Youbeiping and Yuyang, and became the last barrier for the enemy of Youbeiping to go south.

In other words, if there is a problem on the Right Beiping, if the Hun cavalry wants to go south from the Right Beiping, they must face Kuang Ping first!

In this way, Kuang Ping's gains and losses have gone from being inconsequential to being a strategic place related to the safety of the entire swallow thistle!

And that's not all!

The distance from Jiping is only hundreds of miles......

And after the peace, there is no natural danger to defend.

In other words, Ryhei has become the last barrier of Jicheng!

In addition, because there is a straight road through the Yanping, the reinforcements, grain, grass, and supplies of the swallow thistle may need to pass through here.

Li Guang raised his head, looked at the generals, and said: "This place should be the gateway of the swallow thistle, the hub of the hidden swallow, and the fortress of the north and south!" ”

He said heavily: "It must be guarded with heavy troops!" ”

"But ......" Liang Xian, the commander of Yuyang, hesitated: "Our army is currently seriously understaffed!" ”

"The total number of soldiers in the county is only more than 10,000...... If the militia is recruited again, it will be against the Han law! Liang Xian said: "And I have too many places to guard Yuyang!" Slippery salt! Yuyang! To Yang and White Sandalwood, Yu Xi! Every place is a place to be discarded! ”

This is also a fact, Yuyang County and Youbeiping County are both counties with a history of less than 100 years, and before a hundred years, they were Hulu's territory.

It was not until the time of King Yan Zhao that it was gradually controlled by China, and it was not developed until the time of Qin Shi Huang.

Currently, many mountainous areas of these regions, which are not even known, are a paradise for wild animals.

And each of these places controlled by the Han army is so important.

For example, Yuyang Stopper, as soon as Yuyang Plug is lost, the Hun cavalry can drive straight into and go straight to the swallow thistle along the straight road.

Even if they can't beat it, they can turn the horse's head and turn the power of Shanggu County, and at that time, Shanggu County will have to suffer from the enemy on its back, and it will be difficult to support!

Another example is the Yaoyang Duweisho, Huayansai and Baitan County before Qianping, these three places are stuck in the advance path of the enemy from the north, and they control Chaoshan and Baishui and Weishui.

However, in fact, even if they were guarding these areas, the county soldiers of Yuyang County were already overstretched.

Further conscription and expansion of the number of county soldiers will not only lead to a decrease in the combat effectiveness of the army.

What's even more troublesome is the violation of the law and the edict of the Son of Heaven!

If you don't teach, you can't be recruited!

This is the iron law of the Han family!

Soldiers of the army must have received professional military training, possess and master the skills and experience of using various weapons before enlisting in the army.

And using civilians with no military training to go to the battlefield is not only irresponsible for the lives of the people, but also irresponsible for their own lives, but also a fact that has been proven through countless wars!

Not to mention, Wu Chu's rebellion didn't last long!

At the beginning, Liu Bi, the king of Wu, mobilized the young and strong of the entire Wu Chu to form an army of 500,000!

The result......

He was led by Li Ji and Han Yidang with 3,000 elite cavalry, cut off the grain route, and the 500,000 army was wiped out in three days, and Liu Bi, the king of Wu, was only spared......

Besides, there are few people in Yuyang, even if all the young and strong are stuffed into the army, compared to the huge defensive area, it is only a drop in the bucket.

When Li Guang heard this, he smiled and said: "It's okay, have you forgotten that in addition to being the county guard of Yuyang, you are also the lieutenant of Yan Kingdom?" ”

Li Guang said freely: "A certain person immediately repaired a letter to Jicheng, and transferred the soldiers of Yanguo County here!" ”

"And, I got a military report yesterday that the vanguard of the Guardian Army and the sailors of the Lou Ship Fleet have landed in Quanzhou, and perhaps, our reinforcements will come tomorrow!"

Only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

However, new problems arise.

Yang Shi said hesitantly: "The general may not know that our land of fishing and yang is barren, the population is sparse, and there are few soldiers and little food...... Don't hide it from the general, even now, the military rations in various places are a little tight......"

"How so?" Li Guang said in surprise: "I remember that two years after Yuande, the Son of Heaven ordered: Biansaitun Fort needs to be stocked with food and drinking water for more than three months!" ”

"Alas......" The generals and county commanders of Yuyang lowered their heads in shame and sighed.

Yang Shi was a little embarrassed and said, "This is all our sin!" Last year, Yuyang suffered from a drought, the grain harvest failed, and the people were starving, so we had no choice, so we hid from Zhang Junshou, and each took grain from the army and gave it to the people, originally thinking that when Anton's wheat was ripe this year, I would go and ask for a little ......."

"Account?" Li Guang was a little puzzled.

Yang Shi said proudly: "At the beginning of Anton's great development, immigrants passed from Yuyang and Youbeiping, but we borrowed a lot of food, and we said that we would pay it back!" ”

"Which Cheng wants...... This Huns didn't come late, they didn't come early, and now they are coming...... Alas......" said with a long sigh.

Yuyang's grain output is already pitiful, and the yield per mu in many places is only one stone......

Even less......

This is also the reason why the Yuyang defenders were hungry before!

I think back then, before I took the throne today, Yuyang was not a soldier, even these captains, captains and even county commanders, they were not hungry, especially when they were not old, hungry and full!

That is, when today's son ascended the throne, he began to subsidize the army stationed in Biansai.

He also brought food from all over the country, so that the soldiers could finally eat a full meal.

In addition, the national policy began to tilt towards the border area, and the forced labor and taxes of the people in the border area were all halved from the original basis, and the missing part was directly taken from the accounts of the Shaofu and from the profits of salt and iron and the coinage.

Only then did the people's livelihood and economy in Biansai, including Yuyang, begin to develop slowly.

But even so, these preferential policies cannot have an immediate effect.

However, Yuyang is a cold and bitter place, the land is barren, and there is a serious lack of water conservancy facilities, all of which are objective realities that cannot be changed for a while.

Therefore, when a disaster occurs, the entire economy and society will collapse.

Li Guang also sighed after hearing this, he remembered the scenes he had seen in Daiguo and Shangjun and Longyou Beidi back then.

During the Taizong period, the army in these places was also as embarrassed as the Yuyang army.

It wasn't until Chao Cuo began to donate millet and encouraged reclamation that the situation began to improve.

But the situation really changed in the years since today's son took the throne.

Today, a large amount of resources and funds have poured into the border fortress to build water conservancy, roads, and military forts.

Therefore, he can also understand the choice of the military and civilians of Yuyang, after all, he has also done things on the side plug to sell military rations and even lend them to the people.

This is also the option that almost all normal Han army officers would definitely choose.

Otherwise, if the people go hungry, they will flee, and once they flee, the population of the area under their jurisdiction will drop sharply, and the population of the area under their jurisdiction will drop sharply, and next year the grain will not be harvested, and if there is no food next year, the army will starve, and if the army is starving, it will have no combat effectiveness.

Moreover, without the population, there is no reserve and mobilization capacity.

Once something happens, what does a captain with hundreds or thousands of people take to fight against tens of thousands of Hun barbarians?

Nowadays, the problem of lack of food in Yuyang has undoubtedly become the most critical and fatal problem now.

If there is no food, what can be taken to feed the army?

Transferring grain from Jicheng?

Not to mention whether it can be transferred, just this procedure alone will take half a month!

Besides, I'm afraid there is no food in Jicheng!

Anton's large-scale development and almost emptying the official warehouse of the entire Yan Kingdom, Li Guangke once saw it in Di Bao.

And without food, even if Li Guang has great ability, he can't solve the needs of the soldiers' stomachs!

I wanted to continue today, but I wasn't in good shape~~~~~~

Come back tomorrow! ~I'm afraid I'll be like this in the future, diligent and lazy every day.

This can be regarded as a combination of work and rest in a sense~ (To be continued.) )
