Lulongsai, located in the northmost part of Pingzhou and Yuguan, to the east, are the two major gateways of Pingzhou and have always been a place where military strategists must compete for. Out of Yuguan is the current Yingzhou at the northeast end of the Tang Dynasty. Now under Zhang Jian’s management, the defensive power is not weak, so the defensive pressure faced by Yuguan is not very large unless Yingzhou is in a hurry. However, Lulongsai is directly facing the beacon line of all foreign races in the north, which is naturally the top priority of Pingzhou’s defense.

This Lulongsai is actually the famous Xifengkou in later generations. It is located at the eastmost point of the foot of Xuwu Mountain, between the two mountains. On the left is Meishan and on the right is Yunshan. Lulongsai is a city built on the mountain, with three walls forming a "Sun"-shaped defense system. The outer main city wall is five zhang high, three zhang wide, and one hundred zhang long. It is made of stones piled up from the inside to the outside. At both ends of the main city wall, auxiliary walls are built according to the mountain direction and extending to the further mountain.

The Han Dynasty built a city wall of about 200 miles to prevent the Hu tribe from invading. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that Lulongsai is a Great Wall. Moreover, the mountains here are stretched and the typical mountainous and hilly landforms are the most easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The cavalry of the nomadic peoples were a little confused when they came, because the war horses could not run at all on such a steep mountain, so the cavalry simply changed to horseback infantry. At most, they were more powerful in bows and arrows, but they often attacked from the back, and they missed the lead in all aspects. It was too difficult to capture Lu Longsai.

Unless it is a real army that gathers and does not want to face the city walls that are taller and stronger and more densely packed, you will choose to break through from the Pingzhou line.

In addition, Pingzhou is indeed not very developed, with not many people in total. He spent so much effort to cross the Great Wall and break into Lulongsai, but he didn't have to grab it. This investment and income are very disproportionate.

Moreover, the Tang Dynasty can be said to be awesome in the world. Even if it does not focus its main energy on the Northeast, its deterrence is really powerful. There are few foreign races in the Northeast that gather together to invade in large quantities.

So most of the time, they passed by Pingzhou, just to fight the autumn wind, and their more targets were placed around Youzhou, including those prefectures and counties and business travelers who were not protected enough but were relatively wealthy.

After all, the border of the Tang Dynasty was too long, and there were only 1,800 miles of Youzhou. It was impossible for a defender of tens of thousands of people to block all the places. Although the Great Wall is known as tens of thousands of miles, it is impossible to go around them all. There are always loopholes that can be used for those thieves.

But Lulongsai is more like a elephant emblem and a more concrete enemy of life and death to the alien races in the north, so there are always some alien warriors who want to use this to prove themselves, which leads to several battles of all sizes every year.

Shi Lei was just worried that there would be too many people who were sucking in this brain, or that if the Northland's year was too bad and those aliens who could not survive would have to die in Lu Long's place, the defense pressure would be greater.

Shi Lei's arrival was unexpectedly warmly welcomed by Lu Longshu's soldiers. It seems that it is wise to ask his subordinates to go back and promote his glorious deeds first. It is better than howling to everyone at the top of his voice. He is much smarter.

Of course, the reason why he is so enthusiastic is that the many labor supplies brought by Shi Lei have played their role. So many high-quality high-quality wines and various jerky meats can be smashed over, so how can they even give them some good impressions.

Who made Shi Lei rich and willful? If this is not expressed, the outfits of Shi Lei and the others will easily make the local border soldiers who seem simple to treat them as young masters.

After all, it is a border army that is not a direct elite like the Sixteen Guards. The equipment level of the Lu Longsai defenders is definitely worse than that of the Guanzhong soldiers who came from the landlords in the Guanzhong family. What's more, the ones stationed in a bitter and cold place like Pingzhou, which is not very good and water, but there are frequent battles.

What they deserve is their bravery and fearless spirit, rather than their strong equipment. Because behind them is their own home, and what they protect are their own family's wealth and lives, they naturally dare to fight for their lives. This is exactly what Shi Lei values ​​them the most.

Shi Lei hopes to truly take root in Pingzhou. Some of the powerful border troops who belong to him completely are obviously more suitable to become their own people than the sixteen guards with a wide range of power institutions.

These people have less intrigue and more common hatred for the enemy, which is more conducive to Shi Lei's implementation of his spirit and will. In the end, there is only one voice here, that is, his Shi Lei's voice.

Although Shi Lei has never had the idea of ​​rebelling against himself as an emperor, he has always been no longer vigilant against imperial power, and he does not want to devote his wealth and life to the emperor.

I dare not say that I have completely mastered my own destiny, but I must give the family a chance to start over when necessary, instead of just stretching my neck to wait for death. Therefore, Shi Lei must do this kind of business retreat when he gets the opportunity.

As long as you take over Pingzhou, the Shi family will establish their own retreat in four directions: northwest, northeast, southwest and southeast, and can basically deal with any possible situations. Then Shi Lei can completely relieve himself.

He was also afraid that Li Chengqian would take the old path in history. Before his possible degeneration came, he would arrange his retreat. In the future, he could calmly deal with various possibilities and help Li Chengqian get to power with all his heart.

The hunter uncle actually had this consideration when he came here. His goal was to Taihang Mountain and he wanted to open a reliable channel for the Shi family.

These are just Shi Lei’s plans. The current top priority is to really let the soldiers and generals in front of you accept their Shangguan.

For these people, Shi Lei is still an outsider. He was airborne from Chang'an. There must be some people in the army who are not convinced.

Shi Lei's record was promoted, but it was just the first step in the plan. Next, Shi Lei should come on stage and truly show his strong strength. After all, many people are more willing to believe what they have seen with their own eyes and are somewhat dissatisfied with what they have heard.

However, General Li, who is recognized as the number one strong general in Youzhou, was easily defeated by Shi Lei in the competition. Obviously, no one of the defenders of Lu Longsai was blind and would take the initiative to provoke the main general. Although Shi Lei was happy to be idle, he always had to show his strength.

Just don’t play anything fake in the army. Just show off your skills with the frame and show off your abilities to everyone.

We are strong and powerful. If the overlord is reborn, I will ask you if you agree? If you don’t agree, just fight. Don’t bet if you can do it.

Just so I just pointed the topic to myself, and then in front of the soldiers of the army, Shi Lei raised the stone lion that weighed more than a thousand pounds by the gate and ran back and forth. He teared the bass and said that he had diarrhea at 2 o'clock last night and squatted in the toilet until three o'clock. My face turned pale... I was seriously inactive today, but I couldn't stop working, and the phone kept flowing... It was uncomfortable //
