In the Yangzhou branch, shopkeeper Li summarized the recent situation in Yangzhou, and then wrote a letter to report to Lin Chuan.

Since the Great Wei army began to build fortifications and garrison the main roads into the mountains in Danyang County, Huiji County, Poyang County and Yuzhang County, all the transport convoys of the Hanzhong branch and production base in Yangzhou have not been plundered by Shanyue again.

Shopkeeper Li mainly reported to Lin Chuan, and it was also the resumption of normal sales and production of the Yangzhou branch and production base.

Thanks to Zhang Liao, the matter of the Shanyue people's looting was handled in a very timely manner, otherwise after the other Shanyue camps tasted the sweetness, the entire Hanzhong branch and production base in Yangzhou might be plundered by Shanyue.

When that time comes, it will not be as easy as it is now to solve the problem of the Shanyue people, who have obtained various materials such as grain, grass, and cloth.

Hanzhong County, Hanzhong Marquis Mansion.

Liu Ba has returned to Hanzhong after dealing with the affairs of the new Hanzhong branch and production base in Liaodong County and Lelang County in Youzhou.

In the study room of the Hou Mansion, Liu Ba was talking to Lin Chuan about the development of Liaodong County and Lelang County.

"Lord Hou of Hanzhong, now the entire land of Goguryeo has been completely digested by Liaodong County and Lelang County.

The people of the original Goguryeo of the Great Wei Dynasty were close to 30% of Liaodong County and Lelang County, and these people of the original Goguryeo were also allocated to various villages and towns in Liaodong County and Lelang County on a city-by-city basis.

These former Goguryeo people, after living the same life as the people of Youzhou, soon completely recognized the fact that they had become the people of the Great Wei. ”

Liu Baxian reported to Lin Chuan about the integration of the people of Goguryeo into Youzhou, and in the face of better living conditions, the people of Goguryeo became the people of Youzhou.

"Well, this is also an inevitable situation, no matter where the people want to live a good life, whoever can let them live a good life will be more welcoming to whose rule the people will be."

Lin Chuan said this, and said no more.

Liu Ba continued to report to Lin Chuan on the construction of production bases in Liaodong County and Lelang County.

"A total of 80 production bases have been established in Liaodong County and Lelang County, and now they have all started production normally.

The construction of the cement straight road between the various cities of Goguryeo has also been completed, and the upgrading of the post station has also been completed.

In general, the Hanzhong branch and production base of the two counties have been fully integrated into the system of the Youzhou branch. ”

"Very good, I can rest assured, and then I will wait for the situation of the Yangzhou branch.

I hope that the people of Shanyue will be dealt with by Zhang Wenyuan as soon as possible, so that the shipyard in Wu County can also start making treasure ships as soon as possible. ”

After listening to Liu Ba's report, Lin Chuan was very satisfied with the construction of the Hanzhong branch and production base in Liaodong County and Lelang County, and then mentioned the Yangzhou branch.

"Lord Hanzhong, I heard that you have given General Zhang a plan to subdue the Shanyue people?"

Although Liu Ba was in Youzhou before, he still heard a little about the rebellion of the Shanyue people in Yangzhou.

"Yes, I did give General Zhang advice to subdue the Shanyue people, but I don't know how the Yangzhou side is going on now."

Lin Chuan nodded and replied.

In Lin Chuan's prediction, the Shanyue people would be able to last for a year at most under the siege of the Great Wei soldiers in Yangzhou.

If they don't unite this year, it is estimated that they can last for another half a year, and once all the Shanyue camps are united, I am afraid they will not be able to hold out for half a year.

Now the Shanyue people in Yangzhou have a population of more than 100,000, and they will definitely not be tied up after they unite, and they can start a war with Yangzhou, and these Shanyue coalition forces are definitely not Zhang Liao's opponents.

In the afternoon of the same day, the letter from the shopkeeper Li of the Yangzhou branch was sent to the Hanzhong Marquis's mansion, and Lin Chuan finally had an answer to the progress of the siege of Shanyue, which Lin Chuan was still thinking about before.

In the evening, Liu Ba was called by Lin Chuan to the Hou Mansion to have dinner together, and during the banquet, Lin Chuan and Liu Ba explained the situation in Yangzhou Shanyue.

"Lord Hanzhong, in this way, I think the people of Shanyue should not hold out until next spring.

I have to say that the persuasion method used by General Cao Xing can be regarded as a relatively major blow to the Shanyue camp that is now short of food and clothing. ”

After listening carefully to Lin Chuan's account, Liu Ba's attitude towards subduing Shanyue was also very optimistic, especially Cao Xing's operation of giving Shanyue prisoners of war good food and drink, and then releasing them back to Shanyue's camp, both of them felt very practical.

"Hahaha, what Zichu said is good, I also think that the Shanyue people will not hold out until tomorrow spring.

After the subduation of Shanyue, the copper and iron ore previously mined by Shanyue Yingzhaimen could also be mined by the Yangzhou government.

In this way, the production raw materials of Yangzhou production base are also guaranteed. ”

In Lin Chuan's heart, there are three advantages of subduing the Shanyue people, the first is to solve the hidden dangers of Yangzhou, the second is to obtain the minerals of the Shanyue people, and the third is that Yangzhou has more than 100,000 more laborers.

Therefore, Shanyue must be attached to the Great Wei, and there is no other way to go.

In Danyang County, Yangzhou, Xiao Li and Xiaofang's family are on the right path.

"My lord! We are here to join Dawei! ”

Xiao Li came to the Great Wei fortifications at the foot of the mountain, and said with a smile on his face to a Great Wei soldier.

"Good! You are waiting here now, and I will go and ask the general to register for you. ”

The Great Wei soldier, who was stationed in the fortification, turned around and came to the fortification and reported the matter to the guard general Qian Zhiwen.

Guarding General Qian Zhiwen personally came to Xiao Li He when he heard this, stared at Xiao Li for a moment, and the guard Qian Zhiwen felt that Xiao Li looked a little familiar.

"Are you the Shanyue warrior who was captured?"

"Yes, Yes, General, I have brought my family to join Great Wei!"

"Hahaha, you're doing a great job!"

Qian Zhiwen smiled at Xiao Li when he heard this, and then personally registered Xiao Li and Xiao Fang's family as the household registration of the people of Yangzhou.

After Xiao Li and Xiao Fang's family got the new household registration, the apprehension in their hearts suddenly disappeared a lot, and it was impossible for them to return to the camp now, and the rest of the days were only to live in Danyang County.

"Since you are the first Shanyue family under Ben Jiang to surrender to Great Wei, Ben Jiang can give you a preferential treatment here.

That is to assist the people of Yangzhou to complete the construction of this fortification, and then I will provide you with red bricks, cement and two acres of land to build a new house.

What do you think? ”

Xiao Li immediately agreed when he heard this, and said loudly to the guard general Qian Zhiwen: "Thank you, General, we all listen to your arrangement, General!" ”

"Good! Next, you will eat and live with the Great Wei soldiers. ”

After the guard general Qian Zhiwen finished speaking, he asked the Great Wei soldiers to take Xiao Li and Xiao Fang's family to the barracks.

"Send two people to keep an eye on their family!"

After Xiao Li and Xiao Fang's family were taken to the barracks, the guard general Qian Zhiwen then ordered a Great Wei soldier beside him.

"General Cao's strategy has taken effect, this is a good start!"

After returning to the fortifications, Qian Zhiwen thought in his heart.
