The news that the city had begun to set up checkpoints in the surrounding area spread to thousands of households through television sets.

The people of Chasing Light City were naturally rejoicing, because it was said on TV that when the safe zone was established, ordinary residents would be able to go out of the city gates and go to the wilderness.

Now the wilderness is the world of adventurers and mercenaries, the regular troops are busy fighting the county seat, those small towns and villages and other places, are their world.

As for ordinary residents, it is very difficult to find or collect a little supplies.

Besides, although the city is good, people can't always stay in one place, and going out is inevitable.

So the people in the City of Light are happy, but the others are not so happy.

In Jinghe County, Liu Yibang also saw the news.

Now that Li Wuwu has returned to the Yuanjing Palace, he is still in charge of all affairs here.

When Li Wuwu was leaving, he also instructed Liu Yibang to let him have a good relationship with Tang Zheng, and strive to pull the other party into the camp of the empire as soon as possible.

Liu Yibang originally wanted to find someone to go over and inform Tang Zheng, saying that if he was willing to join the empire, he could consider giving him the title of Viscount.

But seeing this news, Liu Yibang didn't think so.

This Tang Zheng is very ambitious, and it can be seen from the fact that he began to enclose the land, and he is not satisfied with a corner of the city of chasing light.

And in the past few days, he has also learned about the situation in Chaser City, if he is Tang Zheng, the earl doesn't want it, let alone the viscount.

He planned to use the viscount to win over Tang Zheng, and he had the idea of not wanting the other party to go to a high position in his bones.

Although Tang Zheng inadvertently ruined his good deeds, it also made Liu Yibang instinctively dislike.

And he also learned about Tang Zheng's situation in the past few days, but he didn't expect that the old man or middle-aged man he thought was actually a young handsome guy.

After learning about Tang Zheng's family history, Liu Yibang felt more and more that this guy was a talent, no, a genius.

An ambitious genius, a natural hero.

When he reported the news of Chasing Light City and Tang Zheng to Li Wuwu in Yuanjing, the other party actually asked him to contact Tang Zheng as soon as possible, if she could, she planned to go to Chasing Light City before the Spring Festival.

Liu Yibang still clearly remembers that Li Wuwu didn't say this before.

What she said was that if she could, let Tang Zheng come to see her.

How did it turn out that she was going to Chase Light City now?

At that time, if Tang Zheng really took refuge in the princess and became a member of the empire, I am afraid that at least the marquis will start, and the duke will not be impossible at all.

Thinking about Tang Zheng and Li Wuwu's appearance and age, Liu Yibang did not send anyone to Chases Light City.

He also learned that Tang Zheng is still single, with countless beauties around him, and he still doesn't have any real female companions.

It is too difficult to be able to do this in the last days, and he Liu Yibang is still single, and that is because he has a higher pursuit.

Li Wuwu, the princess of the empire, he must marry him, compared with thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, he would rather endure his desires, but also achieve this highlight.

But why did Tang Zheng do this?

What does he want to do?

Although there is no indication that Tang Zheng has the same ambitions as himself, the man's intuition still makes Liu Yibang vigilant.

In an area, it is enough to have a shining star, so now the plan to recruit Tang Zheng can be announced to be stopped.

However, Liu Yibang does not intend to do nothing, as the commander of a group army, and also the lord of a big city, Liu Yibang has a very keen eye.

He saw that Tang Zheng wanted to expand, but the Northern Region had some natural disadvantages.

To the north, the farthest can reach the edge of the Tongtian River, and crossing the river is the boundary of Daliao, and it cannot be expanded.

The northeast is a Guyun mountainous area, which cannot be expanded.

To the east is Hezhou, where two large rivers pass through the city, and the main bridges are in the urban area, which act as a natural barrier to block the direct contact between the Jing River and the city of Zhuguang.

Therefore, Tang Zheng couldn't expand to this side, and he couldn't even get over it if he wanted to, so he could only send troops to gnaw the hard bone of Hezhou little by little.

To the west, there is the endless desert of Mobei Province, thinking that Tang Zheng will definitely not pass for the time being, there is no practical significance.

So Tang Zheng wants to expand big enough, and there is only one choice, and that is to go south.

Fengcheng and Qinzhou, two populous cities, have unlimited resources and possibilities.

Liu Yibang thought for a long time and made a decision.

Since you don't want Tang Zheng to expand, you have to suppress it.

With Her Royal Highness the Princess paying attention to this matter, it is definitely not possible to suppress it directly, then he will suppress Tang Zheng's future development space, so that he will not be able to form a large scale in a short period of time.

At least before he opens up Hezhou, Tang Zheng must not continue to develop and grow, so let him jump on the one-third of an acre in the northern region.

If you want to go south, that's absolutely not possible.

After opening up Hezhou, his power directly expanded to the northern regions, and Tang Zheng could announce his resignation.

The Qinzhou and Fengcheng raids that have been arranging can be started in advance.

After seeing that this kind of enclosure was effective, Tang Zheng seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood.

This shows that in the area he currently occupies, there is no opposition from the surrounding forces.

This is also very normal, after all, there is no force that can compete with Tang Zheng on the Northern Regions, and he has not infringed on the interests of other survival bases, of course, no one will be idle to oppose it.

Maybe the empire will object, but at present, the Fifth Army is far away from the Jing River, which is 1,300 kilometers away, and there is still a natural barrier that cannot be bypassed in the middle, and the empire cannot interfere with its own actions until it takes Hezhou.

The area of 500,000 square kilometers is of course very large, but after all, there will be enough circles to go down in such a circle piece by piece.

In the next few days, Tang Zheng kept carrying out this enclosure movement.

Thirty checkpoints in a row were established by Tang Zheng, and the number of people in the city guard camp was also rising.

There are 16 people at a checkpoint, and 30 people are 480 people, which is almost close to two companies.

There are other bases, which were also sent by Tang Zheng to the troops of the city guard battalion.

Among the twelve bases, the university town base currently has a population of nearly 70,000, and the rest of the bases are between 20,000 and 50,000.

In the base of the university town, Tang Zheng stationed a full company, and the rest of the bases were a platoon.

As for some of the original troops in these bases, they were all dismissed by Tang Zheng on the spot.

Some of those who were dismissed petitioned the local interior department to meet with the general and let them continue to serve in the army.

Tang Zheng did not do anything desperately, and sent political officers and sheriffs to various bases, and then selected some dismissed personnel, but the security officers at that time.

The Minister of the Interior of each base, the Director of Public Security, and some of the main officials below are all people from Tang Zheng's system, and it doesn't matter if the position of ordinary clerk is handed over to the survivors.

With the continuous establishment of various checkpoints, Tang Zheng's highway system in the northern region has become more and more perfect.

If you want to bypass the checkpoint, it is becoming more and more difficult to take small roads, and Tang Zheng's control range is getting bigger and bigger.

Nearly a week passed, and Tang Zheng finally completed the construction of the checkpoints around the city of chasing light and the twelve bases.

By this time, in the system, the territory controlled by Tang Zheng had reached 120,000 square kilometers!

Nearly half of the three areas in the Northern Regions were controlled by Tang Zheng, and the rest of the places were places where there were other survival bases.

However, Tang Zheng also calculated, even if this area was all included in the control range, it would be less than 500,000 square kilometers, so if he wanted to complete the task, he still had to go out.

To the north is a direction, Tang Zheng can even advance the territory to the north wind crossing on the banks of the Tongtian River.

However, there are still some counties in Rumba City that are in this area, which is not considered a safe area.

The scope of Tang Zheng's territory recognized by the system must not only be recognized by other forces, but also there must be no large number of zombies, and humans cannot safely operate in this area, what kind of territory is it.

After taking the two county towns of Qingquan and Shuanglin, maybe the territory can be expanded by tens of thousands of square kilometers, but it will be difficult to expand again, and the space is so large.

In the past few days, Tang Zheng has been thinking about this matter, if he doesn't win Rumba in the north, he can't expand, and in the northeast is Guyun Mountain, and he can't expand.

To the east, he entered the boundary of Hezhou, and Tang Zheng didn't want to contact the empire too quickly.

To the west is Mobei Province, which is relatively easy to control, but it is a deserted place, and it is useless to control it for the time being.

Do you want to go south, in the direction of Fengcheng?

Fengcheng is a bigger city than Rumba and Hezhou, and there are many survivors around, Tang Zheng just passed through Fengcheng and came here, but he is not very clear about the specific situation of Fengcheng, after all, there is still a distance of about 700 kilometers between the two.

Moreover, it has been so long since the end of the world began, and everyone's sphere of influence has been fixed, and it is easy to cause war if they venture into the sphere of influence of other survival bases.

If it was the first two months, Tang Zheng didn't care about this kind of thing, but now the situation is different, the empire has even resumed the operation of the TV station, and everyone has a certain restraint in their actions.

Although the empire is no longer as binding as it was before the end of the world, after all, it is better to be careful and try not to be criticized.

The empire has been founded for hundreds of years, and it is deeply rooted in the land of Hanyue and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, even if it is now in the city of chasing light, many people are also interested in the empire, and it is too risky to directly deal with the empire, Tang Zheng has to consider these problems.

Just when Tang Zheng was thinking about these questions, a news from Jinghe caught his attention.

On the evening of November 10, Jinghe News broadcast a shocking piece of content.

"Good news for everyone."

"With the unremitting efforts of Mr. Liu Yibang, the Duke of the Empire and the commander of the Fifth Army, the Qinzhou Survivors Alliance accepted the Empire's recruitment."

"After Duke Liu Yibang's request and the approval of Her Royal Highness Princess Li Wuwu, Liao Yucheng, the leader of the Qinzhou Survivors Alliance, was appointed as the commander of the First Independent Division of the Fifth Army and awarded the title of Marquis of the Empire."

"The various divisions of the Qinzhou Survivors Alliance have been integrated into the first independent division of the group army, and the current force size is 50,000 people."

"In addition, the military headquarters of the group army is in contact with several major survival bases in Fengcheng, striving to let Fengcheng return to the embrace of the empire as soon as possible."

"I hope that the survival bases in various places, after seeing the news, can take the initiative to move closer to the group army, and strive to establish an organized and orderly sphere of influence in the central and northern parts of the empire and the central and western regions as soon as possible, so as to jointly fight against the zombies, the greatest enemy of our human race, and restore the glory of the empire."
