Fang Zhiwen stretched out his head and looked at the letter in Xu Shu's hand. He had read it, but he had not considered it well. At the same time, he also had to decide on Zhao Yun, Zhe Luo, and his final result. Another point is that the talents in his bags also needed a reply from Xun Yu and Tian Chou.
However, since Xu Shu has proposed it now, Fang Zhiwen also wants to discuss his ideas with Xu Shu.
Fang Zhiwen stood up and walked to the edge of the map. Xu Shu also followed. Fang Zhiwen reached out and clicked on the map.
"Yuanzhi, look at the location of Zilong and Zheluo here. They are all between Zuoleshui and the Daxianbei Mountains. Our Changping location is five hundred miles north of Zuoleshui and the Liaohe River estuary. There is also a camp at the mouth of Zuoleshui River. Looking at Linxi City, if these points are connected together, a city chain along the eastward of the Daxianbei Mountains, which is also the border line of our Han Dynasty in the northernmost part of Youzhou."
The urban belt referred to by Fang Zhiwen is intended to make full use of the water. In fact, the importance of water sources is unparalleled in this era, because there is no deep well technology in this era, so whether it is drinking water or irrigation water, it must rely on rivers. This is also the main reason why the Huanghuai River Basin is called the Central Plains, and it is also the root cause of the development of the Yangtze River and the Pearl River Basin.
"Sir, the flow of Zuole Water does not seem to be very large. It is summer now, where we spend Zuole Water. The water flow seems to be very shallow. Can it support these large cities?"
Xu Shu's concerns are very necessary. However, Xu Shu still does not understand the essence of this world. The essence of this world is a game world, or a virtual world constructed by the intelligent brain. Therefore, there is no unchanging terrain. If the water source is needed, the intelligent brain can increase. Fang Zhiwen firmly believes in this.
"It's okay. That's because there is no integration of the water system, it is completely natural river channel. The water flows are lost on the grassland. Just renovate the water channel to prevent overflow from being formed by too shallow. The water source is still sufficient."
"Will this project be too big?"
"Of course there is no need to renovate the entire river, or in other words, there is no need to renovate it at one time. You can use the winter to proceed slowly, starting from the shallow point and then slowly. If a waterway can be formed in the end, it is better, and the Liao River can lead directly to the sea, from top to bottom. Along the way, there are big cities such as Linxi, Chifeng, Xuantu and Xiangping. If Zuoleshui is well managed, this is a river that flows gold."
Fang Zhiwen said with a shiny look, his fingers along the Liao River and tributaries to make Leshui. Wuhou Qin River drew a big circle on the map. This plan will give full play to the role of the Daliao River. If the intelligent brain agrees with this plan, the entire Daliao River galaxy will be renovated in the future and will definitely be the artery on the Liaodong Plain.
Xu Shu's eyes also lit up, and his eyes were repeatedly looking along the Daliao River, then he said slowly with a frown: "There are a few problems here, sir! One is that we need to build at least three more cities in the Daliao River gyre, including the camp at the mouth of Zuoleshui River. This means that we will invest a lot of money and materials, as well as population, management talents, garrisons, etc. The problems are quite complicated!"
"Well, so I didn't reply to Zilong immediately, just waiting for Wen Ruo and Zitai to reply. Your General Staff also calculated whether this idea can be realized in terms of garrison. As for money, grain, and property, we don't have to worry about it. Our territory is very large now, so it's good to sell some cities, especially in the location between these key cities, without city support, and the bandits and monsters that are rampant on the trade routes are also a big problem."
Fang Zhiwen squinted his eyes and smiled strangely. Obviously, he was using the idea of plundering the power of players again. Although there are many places where the entire Han can buy official positions, Youzhou has always been a good choice. At the beginning, Youzhou was a place that attracted players through war and now it is a place that attracts players through a peaceful and developed trade system. It took only a few years for Youzhou to transform from a war training ground to a granary, horse farm, and barracks. It is a magical miracle. Of course, this is also related to the continued turmoil in the Central Plains.
With Fang Zhiwen’s guarantee of money and food, most of the difficulties in this plan have been solved. There are nearly 520,000 soldiers and civilians in Changping City, which is obviously too much. For a long time, this border city cannot accommodate so many residents. Therefore, half of the residents of Changping City were moved to the mouth of Zuoleshui River to build a city. In this way, as long as Zhao Yun and Zheluo can capture enough population and choose a location to build a city in a suitable location.
Now Zhao Yun has obviously gained a lot. If he can successfully take down more than 300,000 people of the Yuwen tribe, he will definitely meet the requirements of building a city in Zuole Water. The two tribes of Queji and Mijia have a total population of more than 600,000. If half of these populations can be captured, the population problems in the Fangzhiwen plan can be solved.
Then what remains is the problem of civil and military officials, which is easier to solve. Now there are many military officers growing up in Fang Zhiwen’s military system. You can only draw deputy commanders from regular mobile troops to take on guard work. As for the mobile strike force, you can solve it by drawing backbones from the old troops to expand the defense zone and appropriately expand the defense zone.
For civil servants, it depends on the newly graduated students from Xilin Academy and Zhengxiang Academy this year. However, these border towns are very remote, and I wonder if they are willing to come?
Xu Shu said his own ideas, Fang Zhiwen also had the same view. Fang Zhiwen was not worried about the defense of these newly built cities. They were all residents transformed by the Hu tribe with strong combat power. The defense ability was self-evident. Moreover, there was almost no major force in the surrounding area that could compete with them except Yi Ren, so there was still a lot of time left to slowly integrate in terms of security.
But what is worrying is that the work of civil servants was the most difficult at the initial construction time. If they rely entirely on new officials to handle it, they might not be able to complete all this smoothly, and it is impossible. Fang Zhiwen has to use his magic weapon Li Xueyin again!
The mobile administrative team that Li Xueyin once organized was a very effective method. She could go on tour and control and manage these emerging cities as a whole. Moreover, Fang Zhiwen did not have too high expectations for these emerging cities in the early stage. As long as she could balance income and expenditure, maintain the army, and continuously develop the river channels, she must have such low requirements, Li Xueyin should be able to easily complete it!
....................................................................................
On this side, Fang Zhiwen and Xu Shu were planning a big plan in front of the map, and on the other side, Zhao Yun was steadily advancing towards Yuwen Mohuai's territory. Zhao Yun's initial marching speed was extremely fast. He ate Yuwen Mohuai's 20,000 elite troops from the west, and then rushed eastward to bypass Yuwen Mohuai's territory. He ambushed Yuwen Mohuai's troops who were retreating from the mouth of Zuoleshui River to return home to rescue the emergency.
The two sides launched a cavalry duel on the grassland that lasted for two days and one night. Zhao Yun's headquarters had 22,000 people, and Yuwen Mohuai's remaining troops looked like 46,700. However, after two days of chasing and entanglement, Yuwen Mohuai was completely defeated by Zhao Yun's gun. He was shot dead by Zhao Yun, and the remaining troops were either captured or fled.
The letter Zhao Yun wrote to Fang Zhiwen was captured after the battle, and a large number of prisoners and surrendered soldiers were captured. What was even more excessive was that many small tribes actually came to surrender voluntarily. This time, Zhao Yun was completely trapped, but these tribes that voluntarily surrendered could not ignore it. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be that the Hu people who were determined to be Han!
Fortunately, Zhao Yun was depressed for only one day and received a response from Fang Zhiwen, asking Zhao Yun to build a city directly near the mouth of the river where Zuoleshui and Wuhou Qinshui intersect. The city was named Wulecheng. The city order was temporarily appointed to Li Xueyin. However, Li Xueyin is still on the road now, and Zhao Yun's political ability is not bad. There is no problem in completing some of the early work, not to mention that there are still a large number of players to support.
After the city was built here, Zhao Yun immediately led the main force to advance towards the Yuwen tribe.
Zheluo on the other side was even smoother. Zheluo himself was the best role model. Que Ji had already admired the Han people. Under the pressure of Zheluo, he directly surrendered, and exchanged his tribe for the title of a village marquis, and took his wife's wealth to Miyun City to enjoy his happiness.
Zheluo had to reluctantly swim in the Zuole River. He chose a location near the camp of the Queji tribe, and the city was named Tongliao.
Then, according to Fang Zhiwen's order, Zheluo dispatched a mobile force to go north and cooperated with Taishi Zhaorong and Zhen Xiangwei to chase the Xianbei of Mika.
The Battle of Zuoleshui began on May 7th. By the end of May, Fang Zhiwen's troops had advanced the front line to the foot of the Great Xianbei Mountain, surrounding the remnants of the Yuwen tribe and the Miga tribe who fled to the Xianbei Mountains.
During the escape along the way, basically the two tribes had less than 200,000 people, and the main ones were combat troops and young and strong men. The old, young and young women and children were basically thrown to Fang Zhiwen, or the old, young and young women and children chose to surrender themselves. After all, in recent years, countless businessmen have heard of how good the great man was.
It is a bit regrettable that the total number of troops Fang Zhiwen can dispatch is only more than 60,000. Facing more than 200,000 Hu cavalry, if these cavalry were always gathered together, Fang Zhiwen's slow pursuit would always cause the other party to collapse. However, Yuwen and Mijia were very stubborn and would rather scatter across the terrible Daxianbei than choose to be captured or surrender.
When they arrived near the Xianbei Mountain, the Hu tribes rushed into the mountainous areas in scattered. After Zhao Yun and others had already pursued them for a while, they had already gone deep into the mountains and the Xianbei people had completely escaped. In this case, it was meaningless to pursue them again, so they had to post the pursuit mission to the players, and then ended the military operation of the large army, returning all the way south to clean up the battlefield and the nomadic tribes distributed near the Daxianbei Mountain.
At this point, the summer offensive that lasted more than a month came to an end. Fang Zhiwen completely destroyed the Xianbei in the eastern region. There were no longer any established Xianbei troops south of the Great Xianbei Mountains and west of Fuyu.
A total of 1.2 million Xianbei people were captured in this battle. There may be some scattered tribes and defeated soldiers behind them. However, the total number is estimated to have not changed much. The newly occupied territory is the largest Liaodong county, and this part of the territory will be the jurisdiction of Xuantu County. Xuantu County, which was once the largest county in Youzhou, finally returned to its former glory.
As the prefect Zhao Zhiyang was so tired that he didn't even want to say anything. The other person who was tired and wanted to hit someone was naturally Miss Li Xueyin!
Next, there is still a matter of auctioning the county town, and Li Xueyin is really popular! Even if Fang Zhiwen is diligently serving her tea and water, nodding and bowing, she can't let go!...)
