Time is long, it is another year of autumn and winter, and everything sprouts.

In Wuhuan City, the three-meter city wall is thick but low.

Hundreds of thousands of laborers poured the inner and outer walls before the heavy snowfall, and now these walls are well maintained, except for the bamboo cage that is more than half a meter high and deep into the concrete, which is a bit of an eyesore, it already has the appearance of a strong wall.

After Zhang Qi returned to Wuhuan, he built thousands of iron rods that were four meters long, and by striking these iron rods to vibrate to evenly distribute the concrete, thousands of iron rods consumed a lot, but fortunately, these things can be reused, even if they are not needed in the future, they can be melted and made of others.

It has been several months since Zhang Qi returned to Wuhuan, and now it is spring, the weather is warmer, and the ice and snow are melting.

Last winter, Wuhuan Xianbei was very good, no one froze to death, and no one starved to death.

The hundreds of thousands of stone grains and grass promised by Zhang Yi arrived as scheduled, and with the continuous transportation of tofu, soybean flour and fish meat from Xianbei, the 200,000 people on Wuhuan's side successfully survived the winter.

The weather has warmed up, and the things that could not be done in winter are now starting to begin.

The inner and outer city walls are fenced and fixed with logs, and the mud wall in the middle is being crushed back and forth by countless people dragging stones back and forth with healthy horses.

Everything is in full swing.

However, what is more lively than Wuhuan is the Great Xing'an Mountains, and the beasts in the mountains where everything is revived are naturally also.

Xianbei Wuhuan dispatched herdsmen to form a hunting team, and shot the fierce beasts and foxes and wolves in the Great Xing'an Mountains along the way, so that the herdsmen in the tribe could be safe, and the skin and flesh of the beasts could also meet their daily needs.

The two armies returned to the camp after the tiger and eagle attacked, and the garrison of Wuhuan increased greatly, but Zhang Qi did not idle them like this, as Wang Li was transferred back from Xianbei by him, the two armies took turns to go to the east of the northeast, and plundered Fuyu and Su Shen.

Compared with the Xiongnu and Han dynasties, these two branches are a little too easy to bully, if they are not few and scattered, they will surely die out dozens of hundreds of years earlier.

The Tiger Ben army had already set out, carrying enough grain and grass, and they would not come back if they did not go wild on the Northeast Plain for half a year.

And in Wuhuan, as the three thousand young children who rode and cut time grew up, after Zhang Qi brought out a thousand people, the entire Wuhuan was on the right track.

Carrier pigeons fly south, trained to ride and chop the world for several years, in the winter Zhang Qi will bring the pigeon flock out of the riding and chopping world, the formation of a sense of home, and then in Liaodong and Wuhuan to establish a flying pigeon communication network.

With the help of carrier pigeons, Zhang Qi's side has accelerated the acquisition of intelligence, and the next step is to let these carrier pigeons gradually spread to the entire five counties of Biansai along the footsteps of weaving the web.

The dock has already been built, relying on the convenience of the northeast water system and the abundance of various materials, in two or three months, the first three-masted sailing ship will come out in the outside world.

Unlike the dockyard where there are only 300 people in the world, Zhang Qi has high hopes for the sea boats, so after the shipwrights came out, he organized more than 3,000 people to go to the dock to apprentice.

Because there is no one to hide, these apprentices have made rapid progress in half a year, and in Yang Disheng's words, they can already build small and medium-sized boats suitable for the river basin on their own.

This is also a good thing, with small and medium-sized river boats, fishing will be more convenient, such a large water system in the northeast has a population of less than five or six hundred thousand, and the catch resources in these river basins are unimaginable.

Everything is just waiting for the ice in the river basin to melt, when the sea ships enter the sea, the river boats fish and transport, everything is moving towards the blueprint of Zhang Qi's plan.

Western liaoning.

"General, it's time for us to go back, it's been almost a year since we came out."

The 6,000 men and horses of the Guerrilla army plundered a village and town in western Liaoxi and survived the cold winter.

From 600 to 6,000, Hu Shui has gained a lot in this small year.

In addition to soldiers and horses, there is also wealth and fame.

For such a gang of bandits from Jiuhuan and Liaoxi, it is impossible for Liaoxi to think about it or not.

But what can they do, they can't beat it, even if they can catch up, they can't catch up.

There is no way, the counties in western Liaoning have to spend money to ensure safety.

In this way, Hu Shui's murderous reputation is even worse.

Biting a piece of mutton, Hu Shui wiped the grease on his face: "Go back?" It's not time yet, the reputation we have accumulated over the years is a great prestige for you, and wait, I've already sent a message back to Wuhuan with my brothers, and when you come with the momentum, that's when we can go back. ”

The captain who asked just now nodded: "A general is a general, think far!" ”

"Hahaha, the rabbit cub gets out of the way, and dares to tease me, come on, come on, practice with me!"

After that, Hu Shui directly threw the mutton to an ordinary soldier, and in the sound of the latter's feasting, Hu Shui raised his knife and practiced with the captain.

After wandering outside for so long, the training of the guerrilla army has not fallen, and now those new grassland people are also decent under the training of these people.

Wuhuan .

Zhang Qi, who received Hu Shui's news, laughed unkindly, how could he not have found out that this guy had never done personnel before, and the reality had looted the two departments of Zuo Wang, and now he is the king of Liaoxi, good guy, he was born to be a robber.

After laughing, he called softly: "Come on, let the eagle mobilize a thousand soldiers and horses to follow me to Liaodong." ”

"No!"

The king's tent is no longer called the king's tent, and the people of Wuhuan are not idle in the winter months, and the concrete cannot be started because of the weather, but the wood and stone construction has no effect in this regard.

The houses made of wood and stone are located on the location that once belonged to the Wuhuan royal court, and they are located one after another.

And the most majestic of them is Zhang Qi's residence, all kinds of decorations inlay this wood and stone building is extraordinary, and the furniture is made by craftsmen with great effort, just to make Zhang Qi comfortable.

Outside the door, there was a sound of 'No! ’

Not long after, the female soldier came back with a token, raised it above her head and bowed down and handed it to Zhang Qi: "General Eagle has been ordered, he is heading to the school field, and he can leave in four quarters of an hour!" ”

Zhang Qi hummed and took back the token, his eyes did not leave the bamboo slip in his hand, Zhang Yi gave him a large number of books last year, although he had the people who rode and cut the world to copy it on paper, but for some reason, he just liked to hold the bamboo slip and read.

Three quarters of an hour later, the female soldier quietly woke up Zhang Qi, who got up and put down the bamboo slips, and then went out.

Thousands of horses rode cirrus clouds and came to Liaodong in the white fog.

The guards of the Great Wall were already familiar with Zhang Qi's identity, they were Zhang Yi's Liaodong Army, and they would not stop Zhang Qi.

However, they didn't open the pass, but watched with a closed eye as Zhang Qi and the others crossed the Great Wall with wooden planks.

Zhang Qihe laughed a few times, and then let people leave a few jars of liquor, Liaodong is close to the northeast, and the temperature in winter is not high, these Great Wall defenders are so cold that they shiver every day and are reluctant to leave the fire.

Staying in wine has become Zhang Qi's habit, don't underestimate this little favor, one day, he can also play his role.
