"Driving !!"

The strong sound of harmony is intertwined with the sound of horses' hooves, which is very exciting. Wu Nian and Tie Niu rode more than ten horses, and galloped to the city gate.

On the tower of the city gate, the flag of the word "Wu" flies in the wind, and the hunting sounds. Groups of strong, high-spirited soldiers, armed with weapons, stood with their heads held high.

The gates opened.

Liu Zhixing, Li Yong, Wei Xiang, Liu Wu, Wang Gui, Zhang Sheng, Chen Jiagui and others led the officials in the Fuhan General's Mansion and lined up in two rows to greet them.

"Ladies and gentlemen. I am back. Wu Nian stopped his horse, but he used too much force, and the war horse man stood up.

It hissed at the top of the sky before regaining its footing and sneezing. Wu Nian laughed, turned over and dismounted.

Liu Zhixing and the others looked up at Wu Nian, and the empty hearts that had been empty for the past few months had been filled in again and began to be enriched.

This is the soul.

Without Wu Nian, they are just a plate of scattered sand. With Wu Nian, they are called Beishan Fort.

"General."

Everyone was convinced, and together with Liu Zhixing, they bowed to Wu Nian together.

"Get up. Let's go to the General's Mansion to talk. Wu Nian had too much to say in his heart, but after looking at the situation at the city gate, there were many soldiers, which caused trouble to the people who entered the city gate, so he waved his hand and ordered.

"Yes."

Everyone responded loudly, turned over their horses, and surrounded Wu Nian into Beishan Fort, and came to the long-lost Fuhan General's Mansion.

After dismounting, they all went to the hall and sat down.

The armor knocked his buttocks, Wu Nian sat uncomfortable, and couldn't help twisting his waist. At this time, the pro-soldier walked in with a tea cup.

"Is it the wild camellia from our Beishan Fort?" Wu Nian raised his head and asked with a smile.

"It's this year's wild camellia." The pro-soldier also smiled and bent towards Wu Nian.

Wu Nian couldn't wait to pick up the teacup, blew a few breaths first, and then took a sip, with a comfortable look on his face. He looked up and said to everyone: "It's really a wild mountain tea that I haven't seen for a long time." ”

"Wait a minute, let me drink this tea."

Saying that, Wu Nian squinted his eyes and tasted tea.

Han people drink tea and do not need to be cultivated. However, Wu Nian was not a person who was particularly particular about tea, but after the dragon fought in the wild, he returned to the dragon's nest.

Drinking home-grown wild mountain tea is really aftertaste.

For Wu Nian's small request, everyone naturally had no opinion, and they all began to hold the tea and drink it.

Some people are pins, and some people are cows chewing peonies.

After drinking a cup of tea, Wu Nian exhaled, with a smile in his eyes, looked at Liu Zhixing, and asked, "Liu Changshi." What is the situation of our North Hill Fort now? ”

Of course, Liu Zhixing knew what Wu Nian meant. Smiled and clenched his fists, and said, "General." Now our Beishan Fort, Mangya Mountain City, Chengtian Fort, and Tiancheng Fort are overcrowded. I took the initiative to divide some people and set them up in the empty castles that the general and we had beaten down, and also set up civilian cottages on some hills. ”

"Here's the map. There are also population registers. ”

Liu Zhixing, who had been prepared for a long time, took out a folded silk map and a booklet from his sleeve, came to Wu Nian, bent down and handed it over, and then sat back.

Wu Nian stretched out his hand to take the things, put down the booklet first, and unfolded the topographic map to look at it.

The four castles of Beishan Fort, Tiancheng Fort, Mangya Mountain City, and Chengshan Fort are in the center of the map. Spread outward, there are a total of nine castles.

Among them was Zhang Guangbao, which he personally captured.

Among them, there are also some civilian cottages, including Phoenix Mountain, where Zhang Jin used to live in seclusion.

Although the Phoenix Mountain is remote, there is arable land.

According to this layout, even if there are nine castles at present, the population is too large to settle down, and the cultivated area is too small.

That's why they set up cottages on the mountains with arable land in Phoenix Mountain.

There are many castles and hundred houses on this mountain, but with their current situation, nine castles are already the limit.

The other castles are not connected or are too close to the county seat to be defended.

Wu Nian's eyes flashed across the map, revealing a thoughtful look. He knew all these castles, and he knew all the terrain.

Depending on the terrain, many things can evolve.

Wu Nian put down the topographic map, picked up the population roster on the coffee table and looked at it. Unfold the booklet and there is only one line of words.

The male and female population is 172,365.

After staring at this line of words for a long time, Wu Nian exhaled a long breath.

Although it is a little more realistic.

But it's the population that matters.

It would be nice to have enough food and grass.

No matter how much gold and silver are grabbed, they can't spend it at the moment, and it doesn't make any sense.

Iron armor, weapons, war bows, arrows. This time they attacked from both sides and captured a lot.

There were also seven or eight hundred war horses.

A population of 170,000 people, if you limit it, you can recruit 20,000 troops.

Originally, the population of Beishan Fort was only more than 70,000.

There were only seven thousand soldiers.

Doubled.

After a long time, Wu Nian, who had regained his composure, put down the pamphlet and raised his head to look at everyone. "I have a lot of ideas, but I don't know how to start talking. ”

"That's right. That's right. That's right. Let's start with the population. ”

"These populations are all the populations directly under our Beishan Fort, right?" Wu Nian raised his head, looked at Liu Zhixing and asked.

This sentence is somewhat subtle.

The generals are all about themselves.

Liu Zhixing and Li Yong showed thoughtful expressions.

"Yes." Liu Zhixing nodded and said.

"Count the population of the mountain villages within the range of our nine castles. We used to encourage people in mountain villages to join the army and encourage them to pay food. ”

"On the one hand, it is to win people's hearts, and on the other hand, I am not virtuous."

"Now I am fighting with the four Mengyuan Wanhu and retreating. Weed has been established. And the next war will definitely be even bigger. ”

"When the time comes to send troops again, I will occupy the county seat. Instead of seizing supplies and leaving. We need more soldiers. ”

"The people in the mountain village are also Han people from Liaodong. If they don't want to be ruled by the Mengyuan people, they can't stay out of it. ”

"They must give food and men."

"Liu Changshi. You send people to count the population of these mountain villages and collect food. Taxes are set at a lower level. As for the soldiers, let's focus on propaganda. ”

"Even if you can't send soldiers, you have to send manpower. It is used to build water conservancy, fortifications and so on. ”

"Then we expanded our army to twenty-one thousand households. Each lieutenant commanded three thousand soldiers. ”

"Also. Find a talent who can lead cavalry. I want to form a heavy cavalry force of 600 households, also known as a thousand households. ”

"Also. The jurisdictions of the various lieutenants also have to be changed. ”

"A safe castle doesn't need to be garrisoned by soldiers, and a castle that needs to be heavily guarded on the periphery needs to be guarded by the captain himself."

"Above. Let's start a discussion based on that. ”

After saying it in one breath, Wu Nian raised his head, restrained his smile, and said in a serious voice.

This time.

Regardless of the civilian officials, whether they are foreign generals, they all gasped.

plus a heavy armored cavalry thousand households, this is a complete twenty-two thousand households in terms of structure.

According to a complete thousand household troops, about 1,200 people.

The scale of the Beishan Fort soldiers reached about 26,000.

That's a huge military force. Even if you add the population of the surrounding mountain villages, it is a reckless force.

A real reckless militarism.

Wu Wangfu is afraid that he is ashamed of himself.

Is this a big step?
