At this time, Shu Han and others also fell into a state of stagnation, originally Zheng Yuanche and they were always moving, so Shu Han and others could take advantage of the local Yangcheng people's understanding of the terrain to deploy in advance, so as to strike at the enemy, the so-called annihilation of the enemy in the movement, and at this time, Zheng Yuanche no longer mobilized the army, and all the forces were shrunk in the barracks, only protecting the supply lines and the supply of the barracks, so that it was difficult for Shuhan to directly attack the barracks to win, After all, the enemy's current strength is always in an advantage, and at the same time, the Yangcheng side and the Black Iron City side belong to different camps, although they have agreed to form an alliance, and the two sides have also exchanged protons, but after all, there is still some distrust, so both sides have fallen into silence, and the most difficult to be quiet is Yangcheng.

Both the Holy Alliance and the Black Iron City can transport grain from the rear, while Yangcheng can only sit and eat empty, so it is natural to hope that the war can end soon, but Liu Sanyi has other ideas, now there are still 6,000 troops in Yangcheng, and the population in the city is about 100,000 or so, if there is a war against the Holy Alliance now, first of all, the Black Iron City itself will inevitably suffer heavy losses, this will be a hard-fought war, how many people will die, this is already an indescribable thing.

And another thing, is the strength of Yangcheng, if after the end of the war, Yangcheng's strength has not suffered a great loss, then for Black Iron City, it will be very difficult to fulfill the agreement on the agreement, and then Yangcheng will be willing to become a vassal of Black Iron City? I'm afraid this is difficult, so in this matter, Liu Sanyi also has his own considerations, any agreement and contract, must have enough strength to make things on paper a reality.

Now Yangcheng is the most urgent one, their food may bottom out at any time, and although the food supply of Black Iron City is also very tight, but now it has seized a base around it, and at the same time, there are a large number of animals in the surrounding forests that can hunt for meat, on the other hand, the food transported from Black Iron City can also be supported, although it is also very difficult, but after all, others do not know, so Black Iron City can wait any longer, and Yangcheng can't wait.

In the past few days, Yangcheng has repeatedly informed Black Iron City that he wants to launch an attack on the Holy Alliance, but Liu Sanyi has shirked it with various excuses, such as insufficient supply of weapons resources, and now it is too deep into the enemy's territory, and it takes a little time to maintain the stability of his army, etc., while Yangcheng faced the army of the Holy Alliance alone, and there were three major battles in five days, and the losses on both sides were not small, while Black Iron City sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight, on the one hand, to restore local production, On the other hand, they trained more local people to become their own soldiers, and taught them literacy in the army, giving them good salaries, these soldiers themselves have a lot of complaints about Yangcheng, and abandoned their own people at a critical moment, at this time after getting the benefits of Black Iron City, in just a few days, they began to regard Black Iron City as their own city and state, and the army of Shu Han and others is also expanding rapidly, and has reached an army of 6,000 people.

At this time, Liu Sanyi slowly began to push the army forward, and arrived at the foot of Yangcheng less than five kilometers or so to station, but did not immediately attack, but directly received the surrounding villages, at this time the Holy Alliance garrisons in these villages have all been withdrawn, and the soldiers of Yangcheng are trapped in the city, there is no way to escape, so they are in the borderless land, at this time Shu Han's troops came over, and immediately received all the more than 30 villages, tens of thousands of people, and continued to wait slowly, As for Yangcheng's urging, Black Iron City is naturally dragging letters one by one, in short, it is necessary to slowly encroach, so that the whole Yangcheng knows that Black Iron City is good, instead of remembering Yangcheng as the savior, so as to make the most important move for the future annexation of Yangcheng.

And this is also a good thing for Zheng Yuanche, if Yangcheng and Black Iron City work together at this time, then his troops may really not be able to defeat these two enemies, but at this time, there is obviously a gap between the two sides, this is a good opportunity for Zheng Yuanche, on the one hand, he appeases the soldiers, and on the other hand, he writes back to the Holy Alliance, asking for reinforcements.

Originally, with Zheng Yuanche's arrogance, he would definitely not write this kind of letter, which would undoubtedly reduce Zheng Yuanche's status in the Holy Alliance, and even disgrace his family, but the advanced guns owned by Black Iron City made Zheng Yuanche change his mind, the rise of Blue Pigeon City is because of guns, and now, there is a city-state that has more advanced guns than Blue Pigeon City, and over time, it will inevitably grow strong enough to threaten the Holy Alliance, if you don't take advantage of this time to eliminate the other party, when will it be?

Therefore, Zheng Yuanche immediately sent the letter of request for help back to Blue Pigeon City, and the adults of Blue Pigeon City immediately realized the seriousness of the problem after seeing this letter, they themselves completed the rise through the upgrading of weapons, and now seeing that another city-state is the same as himself, he is naturally jealous, and under the joint resolution of the Skywalkers of Blue Pigeon City, it was announced that the central corps would directly attack the enemy in the direction of Yangcheng, and it was necessary to completely eliminate the enemy in the area to ensure the safety of the Holy Alliance.

At this time, it was only two days since Shu Han and others moved to a range of five kilometers around Yangcheng, Shu Han and others did not know, but for Liu Sanyi's plan, Shu Han himself was more opposed, in his opinion, to destroy the enemy as soon as possible, so as to ensure the safety of Yangcheng, but also to ensure his own safety, at this time, to calculate the gains and losses of Yangcheng, it is obviously irrational to do things.

But Liu Sanyi thinks that Shu Han doesn't understand politics, at this time, Yangcheng is more urgent to relieve the siege, so he will naturally have to pay a greater price, and the enemy's strength is so strong, if it is subdued, the result is that the Black Iron City faction and the Yangcheng faction coexist in the same system, and the strength between the two sides is almost the same, and the final result is that no one will obey anyone, and then lead to internal friction, and finally Black Iron City will not want to take a step forward.

This is not the integration that the families want, what they want is more annexation, and now this opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, it is precisely because of this that Liu Sanyi does not care about Shu Han's opinion, and even said that he does not understand politics, and after hearing Liu Sanyi's words, Shu Han asked Liu Sanyi, what if the enemy's reinforcements arrive? The Holy Alliance is simply a behemoth for us now, and the other party is attacking us with all his might, and we can't defend it at all?

Liu Sanyi said: "If this is really the case, then it will be more beneficial for us, we can bring all the people of Yangcheng in these occupied areas to the Black Iron City, and then let them settle down in the Black Iron City, as for the people of Yangcheng, what do we have to do, when the time comes, we don't need to integrate, just annex it directly, the population problem of the Black Iron City will be solved, and with this forest risk, the enemy wants to cross, only those few places, as long as we send heavy troops to guard, there will be no problem." ”

What about Yangcheng? Shu Han asked in his heart, but he didn't ask in his mouth, obviously, the people in Black Iron City didn't care about the people in Yangcheng, this answer made Shu Han very disappointed, although Liu Sanyi was very compatible with him militarily, but from the perspective of treating the people, it was obvious that he didn't treat these people as people, they were just mating machines, and they were just tool people to improve the genetic composition of Black Iron City. 17

This cruel reality of thinking logic makes Shu Han incomprehensible, although he also has the element of using these people, he wants to become a Skywalker, wants to find his own secrets, and wants to return to his own era, but he will never use human life to pave the way for his own purposes, for people in this era, maybe this is taken for granted, for people who stand in high positions, they may be accustomed to the worldview of treating the people of the world as dogs, but Shu Han can't accept it.

Two days later, Shu Han said that he was not feeling well and wanted to return to the rear to preside over the logistics work, in the military tent that day, Liu Sanyi's eyes were complicated and puzzled, he couldn't understand why Shu Han would have so much sympathy for those civilians, he explained this as class empathy, because Shu Han was born in the civilian class, so in Shu Han's perspective, civilians are a very important part of his mind.

In the end, Liu Sanyi agreed to Shu Han's request, so that he could go to the rear to continue the logistics work, at the same time, there were 15,000 men and women in Yangcheng who followed Shu Han back, including 10,000 men, 5,000 women, and the escort was a team of 300 people. ”

Liu Sanyi looked at Shu Han, his eyes were very complicated, and after being silent for a long time, he said: "I promise you, as long as I can do it, I will do it." After shaking hands for the last time, Shu Han rode away from the front line, and when he returned to Yeyu City, it was already noon on the third day, and the difficulty of the mountain road, as well as the large number of children and women, made the march very slow.

But fortunately, during this time, Yang Wangdi has been arranging for the people to widen the road, and at the same time build the road in a more open and flat place, when the road was built before, the people of the Black Iron City did not have much confidence in whether they could win, so when building the road, they were often built at the dangerous pass, and now, the war has won a succession of big victories, and the Black Iron City has become more and more bold, and it has begun to build more and more, and at the same time, the number of people coming and going between the Black Iron City and Yangcheng is also increasing. There are more than 4,000 people in the Black Iron City in Yangcheng alone, plus those Yangcheng people, so many supplies have to be transported, and then take the small road, not to mention the slow speed, and at the same time, the consumption on the road is too great.

Most of the logistics supplies in Yangcheng now need to rely on the Black Iron City, and the rations of tens of thousands of people need to be transported from the rear, which naturally requires the efforts of the Black Iron City, so the road is built very spacious, but Yang Wangdi obviously understands the connotation of politics, so when the road is built, the road inside the forest is very spacious, but the population and exit on both sides are very narrow, only able to accommodate three people side by side, and the car can only walk on the wheelbarrow, obviously he also saw Liu Sanyi's deployment, began to make a decision secretly.

After returning to Yeyu City, Shu Han handed over these rural peasant women to the following officials to deal with, and temporarily settled them all in Yeyu City, and then made specific arrangements, and at the same time let the women who stayed behind reunite with the men who came back, so as to avoid the situation that her husband was still there but married someone else, Shu Han returned to Yeyu City, hugged Fu Erlan and slept well, and when he woke up again, Shu Han also figured it out.

They are them, what they want to do is their own business, and I am not a savior, just a person in this troubled world, don't think of yourself as amazing, don't think that you can save everyone, what you can do is to take care of everyone within your sight, this is already very good.

Shu Han is still an optimist after all, and he did not let himself become depressed because of the cruel political reality, he quickly got up in spirit, and immediately went to Du Erxin, asking him to complete the plan of the hydropower station with him, before Shu Han and Du Erxin have been trapped in the problem of insufficient manpower, and have never been able to build a hydropower station, and now, they have tens of thousands of strong laborers in their hands, and building a power station is not a problem.

Du Erxin is very happy about this, he has been doing this dream for more than ten years, and now it is finally about to come true, so he immediately began to work, as early as the previous few months, Du Erxin has already observed all the water flow and terrain around Ye Yu City, and finally identified a high mountain in the northwest as the target by the Yu people, these two mountains are the two highest mountains in the northwest of Ye Yu City, about two hundred meters above the ground, if a dam can be built in the middle, The amount of water that can be stored will reach about 70 million cubic meters, which shocked Shu Han and Du Erxin's handiwork, and he kept asking Du Erxin, can our technology build such a high dam.

"Of course you can't, but we can start with a 50-metre dam that can store more than 20 million cubic metres of water, which is no problem for the dam, and then we can build it when the technology is mature in the future," Duerxin said. ”

After receiving Dür's new assurance, Shu Han immediately began to direct the people to start work, the new 10,000 men in Yangcheng were obviously the best labor, and Shu Han also promised them that as long as the dam was built, then they would get more than ten acres of land for each of them to cultivate in the newly developed paddy fields.

Such preferential conditions naturally make people unable to refuse, come to a new city, these people who used to be farmers, the most eager is to have their own land, so they immediately agreed to Shu Han to carry out this project, and Du Erxin, as the chief engineer, took his own engineering team and began to build the first hydroelectric power station in the Black Iron City in the mountains of Yeyu City.
