sweeping the world

Chapter 174 The situation... is not good?

Wang Pu felt very aggrieved, extremely aggrieved, he had a thousand subordinates who were not bad, not to mention elites, but they were more or less practiced from time to time, it might be a bit worrying to fight in the field, but relying on the city wall to defend the battle could definitely be fought a dozen.

The reason why he felt aggrieved was that he had a boss who was slow in everything he did. Wang Pu only gave one order, which was for the city gate captain to close the city gate, and then the city... fell?

"New attached army?" Of course Wang Pu has a family in Xiami: "Another name for the slave army?"

As for why people with families should be selected, it is very easy to understand. A single person will not have any worries, and he can turn back or run away at any time. Having a family is equivalent to having a hostage in the hands of the Han Dynasty.

Gai Ning was deeply impressed by this middle-aged man with a resolute appearance. It was because of his appearance and clothing. Jin people like to be suave or majestic at first glance, and there is an unspoken rule that if you don't look good, you can't be an official.

"name?"

"Wang Pu."

"Origin?"

"Xiami Bencheng."

Gai Ning and Wang Pu were recording their conversation, and there were actually many people standing beside them, including Wang Pu's immediate relatives, who were two elders, three young women, three daughters, and six young men.

According to the final statistical results, more than [-]% of the prisoners had families, which meant that out of the [-] original guards, there would be [-] new followers.

"Where will our family be sent?" Wang Pu is still a school lieutenant, but a newly attached school lieutenant, whose status is equivalent to that of the head of the Han army.

Gai Ning had a lot of kindness towards this resolute man, and said with a smile, "Naturally, he will be sent to Dongmou County first."

Wang Pu fell silent.

Xiami is the easternmost city in Beihai County. The surrounding water system is much more than other places. About 1 miles to the south is Mi Township, and about [-] miles to the west is Duchang City (Chang [-] Yi). .

How else can we say that the cities in Beihai County are relatively close to each other?For example, in Changguang County, Dongmou County, and Donglai County, the distance between the cities is basically more than a hundred miles, and there are at least two cities within [-] miles.

On the other side, Liu Yan was patrolling the city, taking Zhang Liang along to learn more about the situation.

"Are you interested in being an official in the Han Dynasty?" Zhang Liang was stunned by Liu Yan's question: "You seem to be a person who can be a 'parent official'."

The more he understood the secret, the more Liu Yan felt that this guy with the same name as Liu Hou had some skills.

There are 620 residents in Xiami City, [-]% of which are Jin people, and the rest are Hu people.Slightly different from other cities, Xiami was relatively peaceful under Zhang Liang's governance, without the kind of rattling or wanton bullying between different races.

In addition, Liu Yan personally inspected the layout of Xiami City, and found that Xiami City has a strict layout, combined with the fortifications such as the city wall, he really thinks that Zhang Liang is a rare talent.

"It's not that it's easy to pay the ransom, and then..." Zhang Liang was stunned. It's not that he has nowhere to go. Why should he go to a small tribe when there are people in the court?He said with a dazed expression, "Are you really ignorant of your situation, or are you pretending not to know?"

"Oh?" Liu Yan really didn't know that much: "Referring to the Yao family or Shi Bin?"

Zhang Liang was speechless, it seemed that Liu Yan knew about it, but he didn't seem to take it seriously?

The Han tribe lacks talents, and the more the territory expands, the more scarce talents will be. The inability to effectively manage the conquered territory is equivalent to having a huge empty land that is difficult to turn into nutrients for war.

Liu Yan has already sent people to Wei County to look for such a fierce man as Wang Meng, but he doesn't know when he will be able to find Wang Meng.As for finding Wang Meng, is Wang Meng willing to come?Does that require much thought?If you don't come here voluntarily, then tie me up!
If you want to develop and grow, it is not enough to have high-end talents, the grassroots is crucial, and the middle is also indispensable, but it needs enough time to train yourself or recruit from outside.

Lu Yi was instructed by Liu Yan to write letters to call friends from the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

There are surprisingly many unsatisfactory literati in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, especially those who have difficulty finding a place in the officialdom. After all, if you want to be an official in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, you need to look at your bloodlines. Even a stupid pig can be an official as long as you have noble bloodlines. Talent is not noble It is difficult for people of blood to display their talents.After all, the top-rank Wuhan family and the low-rank no-gentry family are no joke.

Zhang Liangqi and Ai Ai refused, thinking that he could leave from Xiami before the start of the war.If he wants to leave, he needs his family to bring a ransom. His own ransom and the ransom of various family members under secret are equivalent to paying with one hand and delivering the goods at the same time, and there is no credit.

Xiami City has a good city defense, that is, the city wall is straight, without edges and corners, and there is no place for bed crossbows on the city wall. If you want to fight a defensive battle here, you must carry out some new construction .

"There will be a new satellite city, and bed crossbows will be placed on the city wall." Liu Yan said that he has arranged for systematic farmers to build a sub-city covering an area of ​​about three hectares: "What changes have been made between Mixiang and Duchang?"

Lu Yi seems to be a little distracted, mainly because the city-building speed of those system farmers is really too exaggerated. About 300 people have built a large-scale stone city wall in less than two days. I have never seen such high efficiency. city ​​building speed.

It is impossible to defend a main city in a defensive war, so the existence of satellite cities is really needed, that is, the formation of corners.A satellite city doesn't need to be too big, and it doesn't even have to be extremely strong. Its existence is to create fighters.

In addition to a satellite city with a stone wall, Liu Yan also set up a camp on the edge of the glue, which means that the Xiami City, the satellite city, and the walled city form an irregular triangle and become the most stable angle.

"Ah? Oh!" Lu Yi came back to his senses after being called several times, and immediately said: "The other side of Mixiang is the same as before. There are troops passing by from Duchang."

Mr. Gong Tao also appeared in Duchang. He brought a group of scribes or someone who came out of nowhere. After arriving in Duchang, troops began to gather there.

The Han Dynasty took over the Donglai Academy and captured a large number of students and important figures from various families. This is almost equivalent to friction with most of Qingzhou?But those guys went to Laishan to discuss the division of Changguang County and Dongmou County. They deserved to be caught, right?
Lu Yi was already fully aware of Liu Yan's thoughts, otherwise the marching commander Shi would not be able to do it.He still didn't quite understand why he had to fight a passive defensive battle, and he still didn't understand how the so-called "continuous source of troops" should come from. Seeing that Liu Yan easily converted most of the densely guarded troops into new subordinates Army, began to think in the wrong direction.

The new affiliated army is not only played by the Han tribe, but the most successful ones are those Hu regimes that established the country. Liu Yan still learned from the Murong family when he set up the new attached army, but he only selected those who have families on the Xiami side. It is a brand new attempt.

In the future, as the Han Dynasty continues to expand, the scale of the new attached army will inevitably become larger and larger, and it may no longer be limited to having family members, but the new attached army with family members will become the backbone to restrain And oversee the newly attached troops who have no family.

Of course, Lu Yi's understanding was that, thinking that Liu Yan was going to keep absorbing prisoners of war to become new affiliated troops.No matter how much wisdom he has, if Liu Yan doesn't talk about it, how could he know that there is such a thing as a "system".

As far as Liu Yan was concerned, Lu Yi didn't need to know too much. As the commander of the army, Shi made arrangements according to the needs of the chief general. As for the source of troops, he didn't care at all, he just needed to know that there would be a steady stream of troops.

"According to the dynamics of war preparations, Duchang will only move closer when there are about [-] troops gathered there." Lu Yi looked around. It looked like the same thing outside the city, but there were many soldiers walking around inside the city: "If they are more cautious, they may need to gather more than [-] troops. I even suspect that they want to rely on the city to fight defensive battles."

Liu Yan was stunned. The emphasis on siege is "ten times that of the enemy", that is, if there are [-] defenders in a city, it needs [-] to besiege. Those guys in Donglai Academy are literati, and it is really possible to follow the book of war ?
Fucking literati commanding the army is a disaster, the powerful ones are extremely powerful, but the cute and stupid ones are extremely cute and stupid. No matter whether Mr. Gong Tao is good at commanding the troops or cute and stupid, it is not a good thing for the Han Dynasty.

"Is there any way to attract the enemy troops from Duchang immediately?" Liu Yan frowned and said, "What are the chances that they won't come if they hide in Duchang?"

Lu Yi smiled wryly, pointing to the satellite city under construction outside the city, as well as the already established fortress: "It depends on the king."

In other words, building defensive facilities in order to fight a good defensive battle has become a drag?Will those literati dare not lead the army to attack?

That is really a very possible thing, but it is impossible for Liu Yan to stop the arrangement. If the enemy does not come, the Han Department does not really matter much. Anyway, Dongnai County has been captured now, which is tantamount to On Hou Zhao's side, Liu Yan controls the three counties, and it should take some time for integration and digestion.

"Your Majesty, in fact, we can't afford it." Lu Yi seemed to have kept a wry smile for a while?He wrenched his fingers: "The Yao family will definitely look back after solving their troubles, and Shi Bin will come back after the Northern Expedition, and... our campaign will hinder Shi Hu's 'female picking' and exploitation in Qingzhou. "

There is one thing, Liu Yan is the governor of Hou Zhao, so of course he also received an order from Shi Hu, that is, to choose beautiful women from the people, and to pay more taxes than in previous years.

Liu Yan didn't ignore Shi Hu's order. Didn't they just come back from the Korean Peninsula? ***Choose some transactions, and the tax will be increased by 1% according to the ratio of previous years.

"Perhaps...too many people want this war to be dragged on?" Lu Yi seemed a little worried: "Once the court thinks that the emperor started the war and hindered the 'Choice Girl', I'm afraid the consequences will be unpredictable."

Liu Yan didn't think so much before, and he was a little surprised when he was reminded by Lu Yi: "Those guys will push everything to my head?"

Lu Yi nodded: "It is inevitable."

"Hehe..." Liu Yan grinned, and said again, "Hehe!"
