If you are afraid that the grain road will be attacked, then strengthen the defense of the grain road.

Wu Nian's strategy is actually very simple, like a highway. The grain transport teams on this road, rain or shine, are not affected by the road and move at a fast speed.

Every ten miles of small towns, provide vigilance and shelter.

Guarantee the safety of logistics.

Feng Chong's 10,000-household cavalry was the highway guard. When the enemy is found, the small ones are eaten, and the big ones are resisted.

Meng Yuan guards such a large plain, isn't there a city? I also kept the road and built many small cities.

Send troops to guard the town to ensure that the grain route is unblocked.

This was only possible with the Han Dynasty. One is cement. The walls it built were much stronger than those of the earthen city. And it's much easier to build than a dirt castle.

Second, the Han army was strong and strong, with a large number of troops.

This time the Northern Expedition. Wu Nian specially mobilized four garrison households from the Youyan area.

At present, there are 14 garrisons in Liaodong. The opponent is only Xiong Wume's 80,000 horse infantry army, and 40,000 households are dispatched to come over, which is easy.

Maintain this grain route that goes directly to the capital of Mengyuan. And he led the main force of ten thousand households to the capital of Mengyuan.

So.

Meng Yuan is almost there.

When the army of the enemy country reached the heart of the empire. Imperial capital.

And in a short period of time, it cannot be solved.

That would be a huge blow to the prestige of the empire.

This time. Wu Nian sent many envoys to persuade Mengyuan to surrender the city. Most of the envoys were killed, and none of them succeeded.

But what if the Han army was stationed outside the capital of Mengyuan for a long time?

People's hearts will surely fluctuate.

The cornerstone of the empire is sucked away, and the entire empire will collapse.

The end of Mengyuan has arrived.

Wu Min was dumbfounded.

Since ancient times, the use of troops and maintaining the smooth flow of grain routes has been the first consideration of the commander.

Like Qin Shi Huang, build a straight road.

Like the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang had to cross the mountains and mountains from Chengdu to send grain to the northwest.

But there has never been anyone like Wu Nian, who built a straight road (cement road) and guarded the post stations (small towns) along the way.

But Wu Min was dumbfounded, and after thinking about it carefully, it was really okay.

As long as the concrete road is built, the carriage and horse can go as fast as possible. Together with the warning, before the enemy attacked, the logistics team took refuge in the small town.

The cement town is very strong, and it will not be able to be attacked for a while.

Isn't the food saved?

If the food is saved, then it's easy to say.

Who is going to attack those heavily guarded cities along the way, and go straight to Mengyuan Dadu.

"The father's strategy is convinced by the son's heart. I'm afraid it will take a long time. Wu Min thought for a long time before he said.

"Hmm. This is a problem. Although the production of steel and cement is very large. But it takes time to build these facilities. But it doesn't matter. ”

"As long as it can reduce casualties. Time is nothing. ”

Wu Nian said with a smile.

"Hmm." Wu Min nodded.

Now that this matter has been decided, there is nothing more to say. Wu Nian immediately found the scholar on duty today, asked him to draft the holy decree, and sent it to the imperial court quickly, so that Liu Zhixing could act according to the plan.

Steel, cement.

There are also skilled cement craftsmen.

Four garrisons of 10,000 households.

Here, he still has to chart a route.

This thing. Wu Nian also explained to the general and the close ministers around him.

On the side of the imperial court, Liu Zhixing's efficiency is very fast. The four soldiers who were guarding ten thousand households rushed along the avenue, first arrived at the city of Beta, and set up camp outside the city.

Cement, rebar, craftsmen, and people then arrived.

After the craftsmen arrived, Wu Nian asked them to start from Beta City and build a wide cement road wide enough to accommodate three large carts in parallel according to the established route.

No one can take this road.

Used only for logistics. And it's a one-way street. That is, those who transport grain can go, and the logistics team that transports grain back can take the dirt road next to it.

In order to avoid unexpected situations, the road is jammed and the traffic of vehicles is affected.

Cement this thing. The generals have known for a long time.

Building bridges and paving roads, that's really good stuff.

It's just magical.

But Wu Nian used cement in the war, and the generals felt fresh and surprised. Cement solidifies very quickly.

The craftsmen poured cement on the day.

Early the next morning. Wu Nian led all the generals and a large number of close ministers, under the protection of the Ouchi guards, to watch the cement road.

"Seriously. This thing. Although I am familiar with it, every time I see it, I feel amazing. Everyone walked on the cement road, Tie Niu bent down, knocked on the cement pavement, shook his head and said.

"Who's to say it isn't. Some powder, add sand. It became a hard concrete road. Militarily speaking. It has greatly increased the speed of grain and grass transfer. ”

"It's comparable to the waterway."

Zhang Sheng crossed his hands on his hips and agreed very much.

"This thing doesn't have any effect on the cavalry. The war horse is running on it, and maybe it still feels awkward. Feng Chong pinched his chin, and the angle of thinking was very novel.

"No matter what. The road to the capital of Mengyuan has been paved by the widows. This road, plus the construction of small towns along the way. It will take at least half a year. ”

"Within half a year. You have trained your recruits like steel. ”

"Wait for the fight to start. If you lose. The widow will not spare you. ”

Wu Nian's eyes were full of essence, and he looked at the generals sternly.

"Please rest assured, the King. As long as you arrive in the capital of Mengyuan, Haida is not a problem. Feng Chong held his head high, raised his hand and patted his chest, very confident.

"Yes."

It is rare for the generals to agree with Feng Chong, and they should be loud.

"Hmm." Wu Nian hummed, a smile on his face. After carefully looking at the cement road built yesterday, Wu Nian led the crowd back to the city and had dinner with the generals.

The three cities of Beta, Soha and Ninggu are located in the mainland of Mengyuan. This is Mengyuan's territory. The spies of the Mengyuan people are everywhere.

Now that the Han army is building a lot of buildings, it is natural that it can't hide it from the Mengyuan court.

Cement has been around for a while. The Han Dynasty has been used in the construction of roads and bridges.

But Mengyuan people only know a little about cement. I don't know how this thing is made, what the cost is, and whether the output is large.

When Wu Nian first built the cement road, they felt very lost.

What does Wu Nian want to do?

But when Wu Nian built a ten-mile cement road and built a small, cement city.

The Mengyuan court finally realized what Wu Nian was going to do.

It was like a huge hammer that struck a strong man on the chest. The strong man spat out a mouthful of blood in an instant, and was seriously injured.

The imperial uncle's regent, Prince Crotton, Haida's strategy, failed completely.

Meng Yuan has reached the brink of life and death.

The sky above the capital of Mengyuan was covered with dark clouds that were invisible to the naked eye.
