Ouyang Xuan rushed back to Chongqing Mansion City to learn that the reason why the Mongolian army was assembled was not to prepare to attack the Perak army, but to prepare to fight south to Meizhou and Jiading Mansion.

It turned out that after Cheri escaped from Mingshan City, he went straight to Pengshan City along Hongya, causing restlessness along the way.

To say that the defenders in these places did not expect the sudden appearance of Mongol cavalry, they thought that the Cherry was still fighting with the Perak army at the famous mountain.

Cheri relied on the mobility of his cavalry to travel lightly and quickly, sneaking up on cities and forts if he could, and taking a detour if he couldn't.

Since the land boundary on this road is further south than the western Sichuan Plain, the harvest time is a few days earlier. It was late August, and the countryside was full of ripe grain, and there was no shortage of food for horses and men.

Therefore, Cheri was not in a hurry to go to Pengshan City, but burned and looted everywhere. Meizhou and Jiading Mansion are the core boundaries of Yuxing, where can these hundreds of cavalry interfere with the top priority of grain harvest, so he sent a large number of elite soldiers to prepare to encircle and exterminate the Cheli cavalry.

It is said that although Yu Xing is extremely greedy, he is quite disciplined in leading troops to fight, and he was also promoted to Chengdu to pacify the deputy envoy and the prefect of Jiading by virtue of his military exploits.

In 1254, the famous Mongol general Wang Dechen captured Chengdu, but was defeated in Jiading, which made Yu Xing even more famous.

Since then, the Mongolian army has not easily entered the territory of Jiading Prefecture, and the people in the territory have also been recuperated.

As a result, Jiading Prefecture, together with Chongqing Prefecture and Kuizhou, became the three core areas of the imperial court in Sichuan, and its population, financial resources and number of soldiers were second only to Chongqing Prefecture.

The large number of troops raised by Jiading made Liu Heima and the secret Huoli and others extremely nervous, and the defeat of Hengyuan Fort had already injured the Sichuan Ximeng army, and it was Yu Xing who wanted it

"Take advantage of your illness to kill you"? In addition to asking for help from Niu Ling, who hurriedly sought to attack in the direction of eastern Sichuan, Liu Heima also raised his troops in western Sichuan to prepare to deal with Yu Xing's attack, and the assembly place was in the county to which Longzhou belonged.

The county is located on the east bank of the Min River, and Pengshan City on the west bank of the Min River is only a few dozen miles away. In Yu Xing's view, this formation of the Mongolian army is to take advantage of the autumn harvest season to grab grain, so he also does his best to fight.

Just when the war was imminent, Cheri took advantage of the fact that the encirclement had not been formed and fled to Pengshan City, and at this time Liu Heima knew that Qiongzhou had been lost, and why the Jiading army was making a big move.

Yu Xing's land and water army followed Cheri to attack Pengshan City, but saw that the Mongolian army was well defended and could not be captured in the short term, and a large number of cavalry on the other side of the Minjiang River were waiting for the opportunity to move, so they retreated.

The autumn harvest required a large number of laborers to harvest the grain, and this was not a good time to go to war. Although the Mongol army had the upper strength, it was unable to cross the river to pursue because the waterway was controlled, and saw that Pengshan City was safe, so they also retreated.

Although the Mongol army occupied Pengshan City, the navy was suppressed by the Meizhou and Perak armies, and the sporadic boats could sneak across the river, but it was impossible to cross the river on a large scale.

It is said that at this time, the Thunderbolt army is also unable to fight again. In fact, despite the continuous fighting, the casualties of the Thunderbolt army were not large, and the physical strength of the soldiers was not seriously affected due to adequate nutrition.

The main problem of the Thunderbolt Army is that the consumption of weapons and ammunition is too serious, especially the ammunition of the naval warships is gone, and the barrels of the guns are also damaged a lot due to high-intensity use, and they need to be recast.

Ouyang Xuan ordered the cannon foundry to give priority to meeting the needs of the navy, and the fire and nitrate scraped in the newly occupied cities were given priority to the navy.

The artillery urgently needed in important pass cities such as Guankou Village, Baizhang City, and Pujiang City was transferred from Qianjiazhai, Liulizhai, Huaguoshan, Wanjiabao and other places, and even the artillery of Hengyuan Fort was transferred by one-third.

These important places, as important as they were, were now in the heart of the Perak army, sheltered by naval forces and land fortresses, and were highly unlikely to be attacked by the Mongols.

Of course, after the Thunderbolt army's artillery production capacity is expanded, these places will be fully equipped with artillery again. When the field battalion returned to Chongqing Mansion City, it was the end of August.

At this time, Ouyang Xuan had summoned the top leaders of the Thunderbolt Army to Chongqing Mansion City. As soon as Cao Ergou arrived, a joint military-political conference was held, and the theme of this meeting was the autumn harvest.

At present, the plain area between the Jinma River and the Nanhe River has been controlled by the Perak Army, and this fan area includes the six counties of Dayi, Yizheng, Anren, Pujiang, Huojing and Linqiong, where the state city is located. There are Yongkang, Jiangyuan, Xinjin and Jinyuan counties where the city of Chongqing Prefecture is located; There are Qingcheng County, Daojiang County and the surrounding areas of Guankou Village under the jurisdiction of Yongkang Army; It also includes Baizhang County, Yazhou.

In the 13 counties involving the four prefectures (prefectures and armies), there are more than 3 million mu of fertile land, all of which are first-class fertile land.

It is only due to the war and bandits that less than 800,000 mu of grain has been planted in this area. Judging from the level of agricultural production in the Southern Song Dynasty, it takes about five acres to support one person, and about ten acres to support a soldier.

However, these thirteen counties belong to the land of western Sichuan, the land is extremely fertile and can be planted for two seasons, two acres of land can support one person, and about five acres can be used to raise a war soldier.

Since the area has just been conquered, there is no precise number of people, but it is roughly estimated to be between 10 and 200,000 people, and there should be enough food, but only if the autumn harvest does not go wrong.

These grains were coveted not only by the Mongols, but also by bandits and homeless people hiding in the mountains, and even Cao Zhizhou, Yazhou, had an idea - he sent a letter demanding the return of Baizhang and autumn grain.

For this reason, the military and political meeting decided that Huang Dagen would lead the naval army to prevent the Mongolian army from crossing the river to grab grain, and Cao Ergou would lead the field battalion to suppress bandits in various counties, and at any time to help Baizhang City, Guan Kou Village, Pujiang City and other places, and all the soldiers who did not undertake military tasks would also participate in the autumn harvest; In terms of economic departments, except for the non-stop construction of Guankou Village, Baizhang City, and Pujiang City, the rest of the laborers participated in the autumn harvest on the spot.

As for the factories and mines, in addition to the military factories and cement factories that continue to produce at full capacity, the rest of the personnel also need to temporarily participate in the autumn harvest.

In addition, tens of thousands of refugees in the Cockscomb Mountains also need to descend the mountain to participate in the autumn harvest. After the Battle of Yokohara, Li Shuang and others began to plan to move the refugees to various cities and reclamation points in the plains, but it was not until the Qiongzhou Mongol army fled west that the refugees were allowed to move, and it was estimated that it would take about five days to complete the migration, which was worthy of participating in the autumn harvest.

At the meeting, Ouyang Xuan proposed to move the headquarters of the Thunderbolt Army to Chongqing Mansion City. To say that in this troubled world, Wanjiaping is indeed a good place to take refuge.

However, there are advantages and disadvantages of things, but its easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack terrain also makes it a serious bottleneck in transportation and economic development.

On the other hand, Chongqing Fucheng is located in the core area of the fertile plain, with convenient water and land and Jinma River and Wenjing River as a barrier.

As for security, there is no need to worry, the headquarters of the Thunderbolt Army is not located in the capital city, but on the island in the middle of the river outside the capital city, even if the Mongolian army attacks, it can only look at the water and sigh.

In Ouyang Xuan's positioning of the entire city under his rule, Chongqing Mansion City will be the political center, Qiongzhou City will be the economic and commercial center, and Dayi City will also become an important industrial city.

In addition to the reason for the gradual depletion of resources in the mountain, the resources in the mountains of Qiongzhou and Dayi are more than those in the Jiguan Mountain, not only the ore resources such as iron, coal, limestone are extremely rich, but also a small amount of copper, fire salt, mercury and other resources, and even natural gas and other resources.

Xinjin City, Baizhang City, and Pujiang City are built as fortress cities, and Yongkang City, Dayi City, Qiongzhou City, and Qingcheng County are extremely rich in timber resources, and naval shipyards will be established respectively.

For more than a year, the Perak Army has developed industry and cleared land in the Cockscomb Mountain, and the big trees suitable for shipbuilding have almost been cut down.

In terms of commerce and trade, which were highly valued by the Perak Army, in addition to taking Qiongzhou as the most important center, Guankou Village and Baizhang City were also used as commodity distribution centers for tea and horse trading in the north and south.

Baizhang City leads to Diao, Yanzhou and Arrow Furnace, and the importance is needless to say. Guankou Village was the choke point leading to the Tibetan regions of Wei, Mao and Songzhou, which were now annexed to Mongolia but were still willing to trade with Han China.

After all, the local lords needed tolls and taxes, and the people also needed tea, cloth and other necessities from the Han region.

Economic interests are the most unbreakable, and even the Machemitars of the Mongols cannot cut off.
