Chapter 1093 Youzhou expands westward and Yanbei is attached
Zhang Liao couldn't believe that this was true when he received Lu Bu's letter, he once suspected that it was a letter forged by someone else, but after confirming it again and again, Zhang Liao had to admit that this was Lu Bu's handwritten letter, in fact, that tone seemed to be impossible for others to imitate except for Lu Bu.
After reading it several times, the expression on Zhang Liao's face changed, and finally he sighed, returned to the side of the bookcase, and quickly wrote a few orders, ordering Hao Zhao to abandon Wu County and retreat to Loufu along the Fenyang line, and Zhang Liao himself will slowly retreat to the Loufu chapter.
At the same time, notices were posted everywhere, so that the people of Taiyuan would immediately go north to Yanmen, where they would be rescued, and as for the fleeing clan, Zhang Liao was in no mood to care.
According to the agreement between LΓΌ Bu and Fang Zhiwen, Zhang Liao, Hao Zhao and Cheng Lian will be transferred to the command of Fang Zhiwen, and accept the logistics support and reorganization of Youzhou, the period is three years, during these three years, Zhang Liao's task is to fully assist Fang Zhiwen in attacking the remnants of Xianbei and the Xiongnu in Hexi.
As for Gongsun Zhan, Zhang Liao didn't have to pay attention to it anymore, presumably Gongsun Chan didn't dare to go north anymore and provoke Fang Zhiwen, a great god, for a few barren states and counties.
To put it nicely, Zhang Liao was leased to Fang Zhiwen for three years, and to put it mildly, he was sold to Fang Zhiwen, this transaction made Zhang Liao have no worries about lack of food, and also allowed Lu Bu to get rid of Zhang Liao's big burden, and he could get some extra grain and grass.
The bad thing is, of course, that Gongsun Zan is more plain, Taiyuan County and most of Hexi County. And Gongsun Chan has no Zhang Liao's restraint behind him since then, which is undoubtedly good news for Gongsun Chan.
Zhang Liao's big stride retreated, and Gongsun Zhan naturally followed behind to easily take over the territory. Then the two sides stopped tacitly at the Great Wall of Guangwu, Loufu, Xihehequ and Shenmu in Taiyuan.
On the other hand, Fang Zhiwen's letter had arrived, and the Dingtao Imperial Court had assigned the five counties of Yanmen to the unified management under the rule of General Zhengbei to resist the invasion of the Xianbei people from Hexi.
Other words. Gongsun Zhan's head is already Fang Zhiwen's territory, and now Gongsun Chan has no crazy idea of fighting Fang Zhiwen, although he has also moved the idea of uniting with Yuan Shao to fight back against Fang Zhiwen. But as soon as he thought of his own food problem and Lu Bu in the south, this thought was quickly dispelled.
Although Fang Zhiwen is powerful, he never does things absolutely, and rarely takes the initiative to attack anyone. As long as Gongsun Chan doesn't provoke Fang Zhiwen. Most of Fang Zhiwen will not pay attention to Gongsun Zhan, but concentrate on confronting the Xianbei people, which seems to be Fang Zhiwen's hobby.
Zhang Liao retreated to Lou Fu, and then the troops went north again, going to Qiangyin to accept the reorganization, Lou Fu was taken over by Gao Shun's troops, and Gao Shun's deputy general Zhixin became an independent army and was stationed in Xihe County to pacify. One east and one west blocked Gongsun Zhan's northward passage, and Zhang Liao met Gao Shun, an old subordinate, again after many years. It's just that everyone's mood is very complicated.
Fang Zhiwen led Huang Zhong's troops to the west to the Linrong and Fertile areas of Shuofang, and concentrated all the surrounding populations in Lin Rongcheng, which had been renamed, and prepared to launch another large-scale city-building movement.
After that, Zhang Liao, who completed the reorganization, led his troops to stationed in Linhe, and Fang Zhiwen's department blocked the road of Xianbei in Hexi to the east with one north and one south, and Chenglian garrisoned Wuyuan City after the reorganization, and Hao Zhao garrisoned Yunzhong City, which was connected with Qiangyin into a large city belt, which ran through the entire five northern counties.
Due to the concentration of the population in the big cities, Fang Zhiwen combined the five counties into two regions, one is Yanmen District, including Yanmen County, Dingxiang and Yunzhong, and the other is Shuofang District, including Shuofang, Wuyuan and the area north of the Great Wall in Xihe County.
In these two regions, we will concentrate on the construction of 11 cities, namely Linrong, Linhe, Wuyuan, Shuofang, Pingding, Yunzhong, Dingxiang, Tongguo, Loufu, Shanwu and Xixian, and strive to upgrade these cities to third-level towns as soon as possible to form a solid big city node.
The expenditure of money and food is naturally not a few, but originally Fang Zhiwen was going to spend a lot of money and food to help the nearly three million people in the state, and now he just takes these money and food as wages, mobilizing the people of the state to launch the climax of large-scale construction, and in the process of building their own homes, the victims also re-establish their confidence in life and feelings for their new homes.
The five counties of Yanbei quickly changed from a miserable hell on earth to a scene of vigorous construction, which made Zhang Liao, Cheng Lian and others stunned, and at the same time, they also admired Fang Zhiwen's ability so much that they threw themselves to the ground, what a big deal, rich man! At the same time, they are also unconsciously full of expectations for the future of the five counties of Yanbei, and they all want to see what the five counties of Yanbei will become in the hands of Fang Zhiwen.
"It's called Jimingsai, and it's a small pass of the Great Wall at the westernmost end of the Yinshan Mountains, but it's now abandoned."
Zhang Liao sat on the horse and explained to Fang Zhiwen beside him, Fang Zhiwen nodded silently, his eyes flashed with curiosity and emotion, Zhang Liao felt very strange, could it be that Fang Zhiwen had been here before?
Taishi Zhaorong is more familiar with Fang Zhiwen, and knows that her husband sometimes sighs inexplicably, as for the reason, no one knows, and when she asks him, he just talked nonsense, and later Taishi Zhaorong didn't delve into it, just silently accepted and accompanied her husband.
Behind the three of them, Guo Jia, Liu Ye, and Lu Su were whispering something, Lu Su was very busy now, because although Fang Zhiwen personally served as the administrative head of the Shuofang Region. In fact, it was Lu Su who worked, because Lu Su was too young, so Fang Zhiwen took this title for the time being. When Lu Su got started, he appointed Lu Su as Shuo Fang Taishou, and then slowly transitioned to the center, and Lu Su will definitely be the secretary in the first position in charge of foreign affairs in the future. Liu Ye was specially summoned by Fang Zhiwen, and the purpose was to stop the chicken under his feet.
"This is already a desert? Or was it ruined by a plague of locusts? β
"It's a desert here, and this barrier used to be mainly used for early warning, but now the early warning task is handed over to the Inhumans to do the task. The blockade was removed. β
"Is there a water source here?"
"There is a river in the summer that flows to the back of the muddy river, and in the winter the river and the lake dry up."
"So there's still groundwater here? Do you dig wells for water? β
"Yes. The well does not need to be drilled very deep, and the water can be seen in three or four feet. β
"Very well, Bong-hyo wrote a letter to Chairman Bai, and they came here to build a military fortress. A military fortress that accommodates the lives of 50,000 people. Then plant a sand-proof forest around the perimeter and slowly develop the area. β
"No! You see, I said that the lord must have taken a fancy to this place1
"Hehe" Liu Ye and Lu Su laughed together.
Zhang Liao looked at Fang Zhiwen in surprise: "General, it is very difficult to build a city here, after all, there is no output support!" And it will also be attacked and harassed by the Xianbei people. β
"I want them to attack and disturb, big cities like Linhe and Lin Rong, they don't dare to move easily, not to mention that these cities have the banner of black devils floating on them. Hehe. β
Guo Jia said proudly, Zhang Liao was stunned.
"And that's not all. Zi respect, tell me about the purpose of building a city here. β
"The intention of the lord is to use the method of fortress encroachment to improve these uninhabitable places, as long as they can live, as long as they can be cultivated, we Han people can take root here, we can take root, we can gradually assimilate and devour the Hu people after they fall, and finally make this Gobi become a fertile field, and let the grassland of the Hu people become the farmland of the Han people."
"That's right! That's the intention, and I also want to see if this can improve the geography of the area, if the woods survive, if the water can be maintained, and if the muddy water behind it can become a large lake that exists all year round, the surrounding desert will soon become fertile. β
"Hehe, my lord, this is going to change the world! I read the books of my predecessors, and I also pay attention to planting forests. β
"Of course, you can't plant a single kind to prevent insects or something, these have quite a lot of experience in Fengning County, what to do if it is rare to be a water source, if you rely on well water for a long time, it is obviously very difficult."
"Plant trees here, and then dig an artificial lake to store water, and if you can store the river from summer to spring, then it's done! You can also divert the water of the Yellow River to pour into the muddy water, and you can pour it here in autumn. β
Liu Ye has studied these quite well, and he has a wide range of interests, especially in manufacturing and engineering, and his level is very high, which is the main reason why Fang Zhiwen summoned him here.
"Zi Yang's idea is very good, let Zi Yang and President Bai plan together, and in the future, Wenyuan will be stationed here."
"General, the Gobi in front is thousands of miles wide, could it be that the general will build the city all the way?"
Zhang Liao asked in disbelief, Fang Zhiwen glanced at Zhang Liao, and Guo Jia and the others also laughed.
"Of course not, just try to build a city where the conditions permit, this is a long-term work, our troops can fight the Hu people, the Hu people will also flee far away, the west and north of the world are very vast, we can't wipe out the Hu people, and they will also develop and grow, so we need these nodes, as long as we can take root here, it will be difficult for the Hu people to take this place back, at least, we are safe behind us, isn't it?"
"It turns out that the general is not planning for one life, but for a hundred generations! The last will admire 1
"Hehe, this is just an idea, whether it can be realized depends on everyone's efforts, as a soldier, as a superior, we naturally have the plan and vision for all generations, everyone, everything we do today is a chisel in the history of the future, and it is the glorious footsteps of the future Han nation, so I am very motivated 1
"Lord, we are also very motivated! Hehe, it would be even more if there was some more wine to warm up the stomach tonight1
