Le Ming and Le Jin searched the foot of the Broken Cloud Cliff three times, but they still didn't find any trace of Fu Zifei, but they picked up her saber, which was already broken.

In the place where they picked up the sword, Le Ming and Le Jin climbed up the cliff for two miles around, until they couldn't go up again, and they also fell to death a few soldiers, and no clues were found.

Put the rope from the place where Fu Zifei fell, send someone to hang it down to find it, and put the rope dozens of meters straight, but it was also fruitless.

Le Ming and Le Jin had no choice but to report the facts.

"The brothers have done their best, and the king of war doesn't have to be sad, maybe this is the best result, I can't find that there is still a glimmer of life." There is no double way.

"I hope so!" Fu Yu was a little depressed, and said softly while slowly carving a piece of wood with a knife.

"I hope the war king will cheer up. Sister Zifei wouldn't want to see you depressed because of her. Seeing this, Shi Fengchun hurriedly persuaded.

"Well, what's the military situation like now?" Fu Yu's heart was shocked, nodded slightly, gently put away the wood with a cloth, and said.

"Since the extermination of the thunder, the heroes of the Quartet in the south of the Yangtze River have come to vote, and our soldiers and horses have reached more than 300,000, occupying half of the rivers and mountains in the south of the Yangtze River, and the base is stable, it is time to go on the expedition." Ji Wushuang said again.

"So good! The matter of going north cannot be delayed. Fu Yu nodded heavily and asked, "How is the enemy situation in the north?" What is the situation on Cheng Youming's side? ”

"Cheng Youming took Yangzhou City as the capital, established the Cheng Dynasty, divided the civil and military officials, and focused on operating the south of the Yangtze River, making coins, encouraging production, controlling finance and taxes, and the number of people and horses also reached more than 30 thousand, but no other actions were seen." Niu Zhenmou said.

"In order to stabilize the rear and move north, we have also drawn up a strategy for the construction of the base area and the northward operation, please take a look."

Niu Zhenmou handed the plan to Fu Yu, and said Kankan, "In order to prepare for future operations, I discussed with the military advisers and generals and drew up this plan, the main content, to put it simply, is to divide the land to the household, reduce rent and interest, pay military rations, be self-sufficient, establish political power, encourage industry and commerce, diplomacy, make great efforts to govern the country, strengthen the strength, and move the army north." ”

"The so-called division of land to households, self-sufficiency, is to divide the land evenly to the peasant households according to the capitation, let them cultivate by themselves, and encourage the cultivation of land, the field is not allowed to buy and sell, in the case of more people, the dead population, and then dynamic adjustment, a variety of gains. The so-called rent reduction, interest reduction, and payment of military rations means that the public funds for military rations are levied at a lower rent than that of the Wei Dynasty, and the public funds for military rations are paid sufficiently, and the rest is owned by the peasant households. The so-called establishment of political power means that towns are set up in the countryside, villages are set up in the towns, and groups are set up in the villages, and each group has a group leader, and each village has a village head, all of whom are appointed by the lord and given a certain amount of dedication, and can reduce or exempt rent and interest taxes......"

Niu Zhen plotted to tell the story, Fu Yu listened carefully, and said, "Yes, it is very comprehensive, and it is very much in line with my wishes, so you can implement it first." If there is something inappropriate in the implementation process, make adjustments. ”

"The first pass in the north is Qinglong Pass, which is currently occupied by the Sunset Army, and the guard general Red Eagle was originally a maritime trader. There is a key point for the landing road of the army that never sets, so it is heavily guarded, with about 100,000 soldiers and horses. There are also tens of thousands of sailors and hundreds of warships. Coming and going on the sea. Ji Wushuang continued.

"So it looks like it's a hard bone!" Fu Yu frowned and said.

"The 100,000 soldiers and horses in Qinglong Pass are not to be feared, the most difficult thing is that tens of thousands of sailors and hundreds of warships, if they are not destroyed, they will continue to disturb the place, and it is very likely that troops will be transported from the country where the sun never sets for reinforcements. Therefore, even if we succeed in occupying the Qinglong Pass, it will be difficult to hold it for a long time. And so far, our army has no sailors and warships. This is the one that needs to be addressed the most. "Ji Wushuangdao.

"Is there a good plan for the military advisor?" Fu Yu asked.

"On this point, we have long thought that in the process of strengthening our strength, we mentioned the creation of a water army. There are many fishermen along the coast of the south of the Yangtze River, and a little training is enough, and there is no need to worry about the troops, but this warship must be built quickly. I have arranged for General Hu Xiaohai to supervise the construction. I'm afraid it will take some time. "Ji Wushuangdao.

"It's so good, the navy will ask General Xiaohai to handle it with full authority." Fu Yu was overjoyed when he heard this, and said.

"Don't worry, lord!" Hu Xiaohai said with a smile, "There are few children in Jiangnan who don't know water. ”

"The rivers and lakes are not as strong as the ocean, the wind is high and the waves are urgent, the water is deep and treacherous, the general must not take it lightly, the warship must be unusually strong, wide and stable, and it is not as good as the river boat." Ji Wushuang reminded, "The people of the sea are more experienced in this area, please rely on the general." ”

"The military advisor doesn't need to say much, Xiaohai knows." Hu Xiaohai is confident.

"That's very good." Fu Yu looked at Hu Xiaohai, smiled and said, "Have a good drill before the war, be fully prepared, and be sure to win the battle." We can't afford it. ”

"This matter must be kept secret, the army will not sit back and wait for me to develop a water army." Ji Wushuang reminded.

"Near the sea of Yangzhou City, there is a lake, named Yingyang Lake, the lake is wide and deep, connected to the river and the sea, you can communicate with Cheng Youming, build ships there, practice water warfare, and go to the sea after the water army is trained." Niu Zhen conspired.

"Well, I'll repair a book, ask Xiaohai to bring it, and ask Cheng Youming to borrow the lake to train the troops." Fu Yu said happily.

Cheng Youming received Fu Yu's letter and asked the ministers for their opinions, Liu Wuxian said, "Practicing sailors in Yangzhou City, for some reason? I'm afraid it's wrong, if he has other plans, how about it? ”

"If you reject him, it will hurt your feelings. Now that his army is powerful, if he uses this as an excuse to tear his face, he can't help but guard against it. Zhang You said hatefully.

"Your Highness can agree, but in the third chapter of the offer law, all officers and soldiers of the navy are not allowed to enter Yangzhou City for half a step. In addition, we can also train our water army in the lake, and we must be stronger than other water army in case of accidents. Duan Jiuli stepped forward.

"This is very good, my journey towards the lake is wide and the sea is wide, and I must have a strong naval army." Cheng Youming nodded yes, "First, we can protect the coast from foreign invasion, and second, we can carry out maritime trade." The best of both worlds, in this matter, please ask the Jiuli brothers to do it. ”

"Yes, Your Highness! In addition, it is reported that the guard is besieged in Kyoto, and the holy chamber is hunting in the south, and I don't know where to go, so I have to guard against it! Duan Jiuli continued.

"Oh? Kyoto is thousands of miles away from Yangzhou, and it is expected that they will not come here. But I have to take precautions, ask the Traceless Brothers to send someone to investigate. Please hate the brother to take charge of military affairs and hurry up the construction of city defenses. Cheng Youming said.

"I heard that the king of war plans to go north, it is better to inform him of this news, and ask him to postpone the dispatch of troops, if the Wei Dynasty army arrives, it is better to resist together." Duan Jiu left the road.

"That's reasonable, but the king doesn't think he will agree. You can tell him the news of Wei Chao's southern hunting, and if the two armies meet, it will be just right for them to fight to the death. Cheng Youming said with a smile.

"That's the best, doesn't the War King want to overthrow the Wei Dynasty? The Holy Chamber came from the south, and the two armies met, just in time to get what they wanted. Liu Wuxian said with a smile, "I will arrange to find out the movements of the Wei Dynasty as soon as possible, so that I can inform the King of War of the news as soon as possible." ”
