Spring goes to autumn, and all parties move.

Let's not talk about the treacherous borders.

Even Zhao Guo is now a new look.

The originally barren wilderness of Zhao is now home to countless low-rise dwellings, large and small.

In each dwelling, there were at least three or four people.

As far as the eye can see, in the entire territory of Zhao State, there are more than 350,000 such low-rise residences.

They were built along the river.

One winter, in the bitter cold, the people in these dwellings forcibly widened the original Handan River by more than two zhang in order to obtain dry food to survive the cold winter.

The big boat sailed on the Handan River.

Docked in the dock planned outside the city of Handan, Zhao State.

Grain.

Population.

A steady stream of boats poured onto the boats.

Then it set sail with a trumpet and sailed northeast.

Zhao Palace.

Liu Pengzu sat upright and listened to the report of the staff.

"Your Majesty, as of June, we have consumed 400,000 stone of grain and grass, not counting the grain and grass to support the Liao Marquis, just the consumption of those displaced people."

"400,000 stones, that's not much."

Liu Pengzu said lightly.

It is also true that in terms of the wealth of Zhao State, the granary of 400,000 stones is just a drop in the ocean, which is not a big consumption.

The grain and grass accumulated in the granary of Zhao State alone have already exceeded 10 million stones.

Of course, there are a lot of grains and grasses that cannot be put on the surface.

In addition, since the alliance with Zhang Qi was reached, Zhao's caravans had already hoarded grain and grass all over the Han land, and then secretly transported them back to Zhao.

It can be regarded as indirectly speeding up the birth of displaced people.

And Zhao Guo is secretly absorbing these displaced people.

"400,000 stone is not much, but the king, the grain and grass that we secretly transported to Liao now exceeds 3 million stones, and we have to transport 500,000 stone of grain and grass to Liao Hou every month on average."

"Although the amount of grain and grass is not large, but. . . If it is discovered, I am afraid that the court will be dissatisfied with Zhao Guo. ”

"Well, this king knows about this matter, so Ling Fan is fully responsible for this matter, and you can continue to manage the affairs of Zhao State."

Liu Pengzu nodded and replied indifferently.

Now that he has formed an alliance with Zhang Qi, even some of the old ministers of Zhao know very little, and they only know that there are trade contacts with Liaodi.

The porcelain and wine from Liaodi really made Zhao Guo have nothing to say on the books.

It's just that for some reason, the successive changes in Zhao made many of Zhao's courtiers a little uneasy.

Regarding what he conspired with Zhang Qi, Liu Pengzu naturally wouldn't let these Zhao courtiers know, at least, not yet.

Liu Pengzu will not speak until the wood has been completed and these people are all in the direction of the times.

Sometimes, interests drive those who are not far away to join in.

"Okay, what's the matter? If it is gone, today's morning dynasty will be here. ”

Liu Pengzu raised his right hand.

A eunuch shouted at the right time.

"Retreat."

Helplessly, the ministers of Zhao State, who originally had a lot to say, also bowed down one after another and retreated.

The people in the main hall gradually dispersed.

Liu Pengzu didn't get up, and looked at the eunuch beside him.

"Let Fan come over."

"No."

Not much.

Zhao Wang Liu Pengzu's most trusted staff came in a hurry.

"See Your Majesty."

"Excuse me."

"This king has received a secret letter from the Marquis of Liao, and Chang'an has issued a holy decree to let his army out of the fortress, what do you think of this matter?"

Liu Pengzu's expression at this moment was completely different from the previous early dynasty.

Now his whole body is extremely vigorous.

"Your Majesty, I only see that I can wait for news on this matter, and it is not appropriate to ask a lot."

"However, Liaohou wants grain, we will support it, Liaohou wants people, and we will deliver it."

"In the opinion of the ministers, after the collection of troops outside the Saiwai, the Marquis of Liao may have a big move!"

Fan is worthy of Liu Pengzu's most trusted staff.

From many clues, he had already sensed the path that Zhang Qi might take in the future.

Combined with the frequent military movements of the Han in the past six months.

I guessed that there might be a big drama about to begin.

"That's it"

Liu Pengzu thought about it and nodded.

"How much grain and grass has been transported to Liaodi, and what is the number of displaced people gathered in Zhao now?"

"Back to Your Majesty, although the book exchange of Zhao State in Liaodi is only three million grain and grass, but privately, we have supported more than seven million stones of grain and grass in Liaodi, and now Zhao has gathered more than 100,000 displaced people, and they have begun to send it to Liaodi."

"Today, 10,000 people have boarded the big ship to and from Liao, and the minister has talked about it under the command of the Liao Marquis, and in the following days, the big ships coming and going from Liao to Zhao will increase, and after more than a month, these hundreds of thousands of displaced people will be transported away."

"Then continue to collect the displaced people, the grain and grass can't be left by Zhang Qi and them, their surplus of grain and grass is a bad thing for this king, notify all the caravans of Zhao State, and bring all the displaced people encountered along the way back to Zhao State."

"No."

Fan actually gave up.

Liu Pengzu waved his hand, and the two of them discussed in the palace of King Zhao.

——

Yunzhong County.

In the middle of the five border counties.

It was Zhang Qi who chose to go out of the county.

The 20,000 Liaodong Army took the lead, and now they happened to arrive here with Zhang Qi.

The county guard in Yunzhong waited for a long time, and as soon as Zhang Qi showed his head, he brought the officials in Yunzhong to meet him.

"Excuse me, Ben Hou is here to fight, just wait for the logistics to be done, and the rest, wait to take down the Huns, and talk about drinking at night!"

Zhang Qi's expression was cold.

seems to be proud of their talents, and when the officials in the clouds saw this, they also bowed their waists and saluted, calling the Marquis of Liao Yingwu.

Zhang Qi hummed a few times, and then ignored them.

With three hundred guards, he went to the school field in the clouds.

The school field of the side plug is mostly around the Great Wall.

The cloud is no exception.

When Zhang Qi arrived here, there was a lot of noise in the school field in the clouds.

Some displeasure.

Zhang Qi frowned.

"Why did you let us go out with the Marquis of Liao?! Why don't you go? A few years ago, General Wei also went to our school when he went out of the fortress, so it's time to change people this time! ”

Before he could get closer, Zhang Qi learned from the mouths of several guards who stepped forward that those people were arguing.

It turned out to be a military unit.

As a border fortress in the clouds, there must still be border guards on the Great Wall, so not all border guards will go out with the army, but at least half of the people should be left to guard the Great Wall to prevent the Huns from stealing their homes.

Among them, there are many places where you can use your hands and feet.

As I said earlier, not all the soldiers of the Han army dared to face the Xiongnu as much as Wei Qing and their newly trained good sons.

More than seventy years.

Many veterans have become accustomed to fighting in a city-by-city manner.

For the direct head-on collision with the Xiongnu, to be honest, they are unwilling, although the Han Dynasty has been in power for decades and has more than 300,000 horses, not every Han army is qualified to ride a horse, and in the face of the Huns with horses, the Han army without horses can not raise any desire to fight.

What's more, although the results of the last time Wei Qing led the army out of the fortress in the inland of the Han Dynasty were advertised as a big victory, it was not the case for the soldiers of the border counties.

Most of the baggage team and auxiliary soldiers were recruited from border counties, and how many of them came back, these veterans are clear.
