Zhang Liao couldn't believe it was true when he received a letter from Lu Bu. He once suspected that it was a letter forged by someone else, but after repeated confirmation, Zhang Liao had to admit that this was Lu Bu's handwritten letter. In fact, in addition to Lu Bu, it seemed that others could not imitate that tone.

After reading it over and over again, the expression on Zhang Liao's face changed. Finally, he sighed, returned to the edge of the desk, and quickly wrote several orders, ordering Hao Zhao to give up Wu County and retreat to Loufan along the Fenyang line, and Zhang Liao himself would slowly retreat to Loufan.

At the same time, notices were posted everywhere, allowing the people of Taiyuan to go north to Yanmen immediately, where they would receive assistance. As for the fleeing aristocratic tribes, Zhang Liao was not in the mood to care about them.

There is the old Great Wall to the north of Loufan, which is also the dividing line between Yanmen and Taiyuan. According to the agreement between Lu Bu and Fang Zhiwen, Zhang Liao, Hao Zhao and Cheng Lian will be subordinate to Fang Zhiwen's command and accept the logistics support and reorganization of Youzhou. The deadline is three years. During these three years, Zhang Liao's mission is to fully assist Fang Zhiwen in attacking the remnants of the Xianbei and the Xiongnu in Hexi.

As for Gongsun Zan, Zhang Liao no longer had to pay attention to it. I believe Gongsun Zan would not dare to move north again, and provoke the great god Fang Zhiwen for several barren prefectures and counties.

To put it nicely, Zhang Liao was rented to Fang Zhiwen for three years, but to put it bluntly, he was sold to Fang Zhiwen. This transaction left Zhang Liao without any worries about shortage of food, and also allowed Lu Bu to get rid of Zhang Liao's big burden, and he could also get more food and grass.

The bad thing is that Gongsun Zan has become more innocent than Taiyuan County and most Hexi County. Moreover, there has been no restraint from Zhang Liao since then, which is undoubtedly good news for Gongsun Zan.

Zhang Liao took a big step back. Gongsun Zan naturally followed behind and easily received the territory. Then the two sides stopped tacitly in Guangwu, Loufan, Xihehequ, and Shenmu's Great Wall in Taiyuan.

Gongsun Zan did not dare to continue to move north because he had already eaten the place where he had the eldest son and had to digest it. On the other hand, Fang Zhiwen's letter had arrived, and the Dingtao court had assigned the five counties of Yanmen to the unified management of General Zhengbei to fight against the invasion of the Xianbei people from Hexi.

In other words, Gongsun Zan was already Fang Zhiwen's territory. Now Gongsun Zan has not yet wanted to attack Fang Zhiwen. Although he had the idea of ​​joining Yuan Shao to counterattack Fang Zhiwen, the idea was quickly dispelled when he thought of his own food problems and Lu Bu in the south.

Although Fang Zhiwen is powerful, he never does anything and rarely attacks anyone actively. As long as Gongsun Zan does not provoke Fang Zhiwen, most of Fang Zhiwen will not pay attention to Gongsun Zan, but concentrates on confronting the Xianbei people, which seems to be Fang Zhiwen’s hobby.

Zhang Liao retreated to Lou Fan, and then the troops headed north again to Qiangyin for reorganization. Lou Fan was taken over by Gao Shun's troops, and Gao Shun's deputy general Zhe Xin** formed an army and stationed in Xihe County to pacify. One east and one west blocked the passage to Gongsun Zan's northward direction. Zhang Liao met Gao Shun again after many years. But everyone's mood was very complicated.

Fang Zhiwen led Huang Zhong's troops to the Linrong and woye areas of Shuofang, concentrating all the surrounding population to Linrong City, whose name changed. He prepared to launch another large-scale city-building campaign.

Afterwards, Zhang Liao, who had completed the reorganization, led his troops to Linhe, and with the Fangzhiwen Department, blocked the way to the east of the Hexi Xianbei. After Cheng Lian reorganized, he stationed troops in Wuyuan City, and Hao Zhao stationed troops in Yunzhong City, connecting with Qiangyin to form a large urban belt, connecting the entire five northern counties.

Since the population was concentrated in big cities, Fang Zhiwen combined five counties into two major regions, one was Yanmen District, including Yanmen County, Dingxiang and Yunzhong, and the other was Shuofang District, including Shuofang, Wuyuan and Xihe County Great Wall. Fang Zhiwen summoned Xun Yan as the prefect of Yanmen District and personally managed the Shuofang District. The entire administrative work was quickly launched.

Among these two major regions, we will concentrate on building the eleven cities of Linrong, Linhe, Wuyuan, Shuofang, Pingding, Yunzhong, Dingxiang, Tongguo, Loufan, Shanwuheju County, and strive to upgrade this Xingcheng City to a third-level town as soon as possible to form a solid big city node.

Of course, there are many expenses in this. However, Fang Zhiwen originally had to spend a lot of money and grain to help the nearly three million people in Bingzhou who were affected. Now he treats all the money and grain as wages and mobilizes the people of Bingzhou to launch a large-scale construction. In the process of building his own home, the victims also rebuild their confidence in life and feelings for the new home. This set of policies has become more experienced from meticulous and specific work to ideological guidance and publicity.

The five counties of Yanbei quickly changed from a miserable hell on earth to a scene of vigorous construction, which made Zhang Liao, Cheng Lian and others stunned. At the same time, they admire Fang Zhiwen's ability. It was such a big deal and rich man! At the same time, they were unknowingly full of expectations for the five counties of Yanbei in the future, and they all wanted to see what the five counties of Yanbei would become in Fang Zhiwen's hands. Speaking of which, this is their hometown!

"This place is called Jiming Pass, which is a small pass at the westernmost end of the Yinshan Mountains. However, it has been abandoned now."

Zhang Liao sat on the horse and explained to Fang Zhiwen beside him. Fang Zhiwen nodded silently, with a look of curiosity and emotion flashing in his eyes. Zhang Liao felt very strange. Could it be that Fang Zhiwen had been here before?

Taishi Zhaorong was more familiar with Fang Zhiwen and knew that her husband would sometimes feel inexplicably. As for the reason, no one knew. He asked him that he was just taking over nonsense. Later, Taishi Zhaorong did not investigate it deeply, and just accepted it silently and accompanied his husband.

Behind the three of them, Guo Jia, Liu Ye and Lu Su were whispering something. Lu Su is very busy now because although Fang Zhiwen personally served as the administrative head of Shuofang District, Lu Su was actually the worker. Because Lu Su was too young, Fang Zhiwen temporarily took on this title. When Lu Su got started, he appointed Lu Su as the prefect of Shuofang, and then slowly went to the center. In the future, Lu Su would definitely be the secretary to be the first position in charge of foreign affairs. Liu Ye was specially summoned by Fang Zhiwen, with the purpose of being the crowing cock under his feet.

"Is this desert already? Or is it destroyed by a locust plague?"

"This place and the sutra are deserts. In the past, this gateway mainly played an early warning role. Now the warning task is handed over to Yiren to do the task. The gateway is also removed."

“Is there any water source here?”

"There is a summer river that flows to the Yanhunze behind it, and the river water and lake water are dried up in winter."

"So there is still groundwater here? Do you dig a well to get water?"

"Yes, you don't need to dig the well very deep. You can see water three or four feet away."

"Very good. Fengxiao wrote a letter to President Bai. They came here to build a military subway. The military subway that accommodates 50,000 people, and then plant sand prevention forests around them, and slowly develop the place."

"No! Look, I said the lord must have liked this place!"

"Hehe." Liu Ye and Lu Su laughed together.

Zhang Liao looked at Fang Zhiwen in surprise: "General, it is difficult to build a city here. After all, there is no output support! And it will be attacked by the Xianbei people."

"I want them to come and harass them. They dare not move easily in big cities like Linhe and Lin Rong, not to mention that there is a big flag of black demons floating on this star pool, haha."

Guo Jia said proudly, and Zhang Liao suddenly realized.

"Not only that. Zijing, tell me the purpose of building the city here."

"The lord's intention is to use the method of fortress erosion to improve these difficult-to-live places. As long as we can live in and cultivate, we Han people can take root here. Once we take root, we can gradually assimilate and swallow the fallen Hu tribe, and eventually turn this Gobi desert into a fertile land and turn the Hu tribe's pasture into a farmland for the Han people."

"Yes! That's the intention, and I also want to see if doing so can improve the geographical environment of this area. If the woods survive, can the water be maintained. If the Yanhunze behind it can become a large lake that exists all year round, the surrounding desert will soon become a fertile land."

"Haha, lord is going to change the world! I look at the books of my predecessors and have some considerations in planting forests."

"Of course, you can't just type one to prevent insects or something. These are already quite experienced in Fengning County. What should I do if I have a rare source of water? It is obviously difficult to rely on well water for a long time."

"Sow trees here and then dig an artificial lake to store water. If the river water in summer can be stored until spring, it will become 9 that can lead the Yellow River water into Yanhunze, and you can return to come here in autumn."

Liu Ye is quite knowledgeable about these things. He has a wide range of interests and hobbies, especially in manufacturing and engineering, and has a high level. This is also the main reason why Fang Zhiwen summoned him to come.

"Ziyang has a good idea. Let Ziyang and President Bai plan here together. Wenyuan will be stationed here in one part."

"General, the Gobi Desert in front is thousands of miles wide. Could it be that the general will build the city all the way?"

Zhang Liao asked in disbelief. Fang Zhiwen glanced at Zhang Liao, and Guo Jia and others laughed.

"Of course not. Just try to build cities where conditions permit. This is a long-term task. Our troops can attack the Hu tribe, and the Hu tribe will also escape. The world in the west and north is very vast. We cannot drive the Hu tribe out of it, and they will grow and grow. So we need these nodes. As long as we can take root here, it will be difficult for the Hu tribe to retake it back. At least, our backs are safe, right?"

"It turns out that the general is not planning for a lifetime, but for a hundred generations! The last general admires it!"

"Haha, this is just an idea. Whether it can be realized depends on everyone's efforts. As soldiers and superiors, we naturally have plans and visions to plan for the world. Everyone, everything we do today is a conclusive text in the future history and a glorious footstep of the Han people in the future. Therefore, I am very motivated!"

"Lord, we are also very motivated. If there is some wine tonight to warm your stomach, it will be even more!"

"Ha ha"
