Daqin: Assist Zulong at the beginning and become a public enemy

Chapter 275 How to Develop
Chapter 275 How to Develop
In Jixian City, Li Xin and Ying Gang went together to inspect the situation in various places in the city.

After several wars, the vicissitudes of the city is now full of holes. For a long-term plan, Li Xin plans to rebuild the city in the southeast of Jicheng.

"Sir, I estimate that at least 10 civilians will be needed to build the city."

"Liaodong still has so many troops?"

Li Xin's face was filled with helplessness.

Before the war, Liaodong received disaster victims from all over the country, and the ruling population exceeded one million. However, after the Fusu rebellion and other incidents, the people's livelihood in Liaodong is now in decline, and a large number of people have been displaced. 20 is almost half of the people under Li Xin's current control to build the city.

"I think it's better to build the city. The land of Liaodong is not a long-term place after all. It is far away from Guanzhong. Without the material supply in Guanzhong, it is really difficult to go long-term with you alone."

Li Xin was a little unconvinced at first, but when he thought about his current situation, he had to accept this fact.

At this moment, Meng Tian strode over and saluted Ying Gang.

"The general is inspecting the northern border. Is there any change in the Huns in the grasslands?"

"Since the great victory in the Central Plains, Maodun has completely controlled the various ministries of the Xiongnu in his own hands. Now they are constantly using troops against Donghu. Swallowed by the Huns."

Ying Gang frowned slightly.

The previous Xiongnu had already made him feel a great threat. If Maodun was allowed to completely eliminate dissidents and control the grassland in his hands, it would not be a problem to send 60 to [-] troops to the south with the posture of the Huns as soldiers.

Qin State can withstand such a fierce attack, but none of the countries in Shandong can support it.

In the past, they could still support the Great Wall, but the Xiongnu destroyed all the Great Wall in the Jiuyuan area of ​​Shangjun during their retreat. Without this barrier, the Xiongnu cavalry could go south to threaten the Central Plains at any time, which indeed poses a great threat to the future Qin State.

Ying Gang didn't want to see him destroy the six kingdoms of Shandong with his own hands, and then push Wu Huan Hua to the front of the screen.

"It seems that we can't discard Liaodong yet."

Meng Tian glanced at Li Xin, who added: "Ji City has been abandoned, at least one hundred thousand people will be needed to build the city. You sympathize with the people and don't want to use so many people, so you plan to abandon Liaodong."

Meng Tian was anxious when he heard this and said quickly: "No, no, absolutely no! My son, Liaodong is not only the key to the six kingdoms of Shandong, but also an important move to deal with the Huns. If it is lost here, Daqin will be able to deal with the Xiongnu in the future. Only by going all the way to the county, how can we defeat the Xiongnu in such a crusade. Only with two prongs can we be sure of victory."

Ying just listened to his words, pondered for a moment and asked: "Then, what good way does the general have to solve the matter of the [-] civilians?"

Meng Tian was speechless for a moment.

These people are not crops in the field, if they want more, they just need to grow a little more.

All their supplies are entirely dependent on themselves.

The more people use, the next year there will be no way to reclaim enough land to support enough people.

When Ying just saw him, he had no choice. Just as he was about to refuse, some information flashed through his mind. He looked at the two people in front of him and asked, "Can you use the army to build the city?"

When Meng Tian heard this, he felt a little dissatisfied.

Nowadays, most of the soldiers in Liaodong are the Jiuyuan Army trained by Meng Tian himself. These are the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty who can compare one to a hundred.If they are on the battlefield, they are just tigers; but if they are allowed to build cities, wouldn't this be a waste of their skills?

"Young Master, this is a bit inappropriate! Isn't it a bit too wasteful to let these elite soldiers build the city? The general is worried that it will stir up a mutiny."

Ying Gang ignored the two of them, but continued to ask: "How many prisoners have we captured?"

"Thirty-six thousand people!"

"Just now you said that you want 10 people, so that is equivalent to a difference of 5000 people. Let me ask you, are there any soldiers in the Jiuyuan Army who are injured and unable to continue fighting?"

Meng Tian immediately understood what was said, thought for a moment and replied: "There are about 5000 people, but only 3000 to [-] people can really do things."

"In this way, we still have about 6 people short. But you have forgotten one thing, we did not use so many soldiers at once, and there is no battle to fight for the time being, and the soldiers are idle. To grow fat, instead of doing this, it is better to let them move. In my opinion, building the city can also be regarded as building meritorious service and part of daily training. Let my Liaodong garrison build in rotation, so that the soldiers can have fighting spirit and Make sure the city is built. What do you think?"

Li Xin's eyes lit up: "I think it's feasible. What does the general think?"

Meng Tian stroked his beard and nodded, "It's indeed a good idea. You really think farther than us. Meng Tian admires it."

Ying Gang waved his hand and said: "I'm just a joker. The affairs in Liaodong still need more work from the General and General Li."

The two just saluted.

A soldier came quickly, saluted Ying Gang, and then saluted Meng Tian and Li Xin: "Young Master, you two generals, urgent report from Xianyang."

After all, a piece of information was delivered to Ying Gang.

As soon as Ying opened the information, he froze there.

"My lord, what happened?" Meng Tian looked at Ying Gang in front of him and asked.

"Your Majesty wants me to go back to Xianyang as soon as possible. Xiang Yu's army from the Chu Kingdom attacked Wuguan. Wuguan fell, and Guanzhong is in a hurry."

"What?" A trace of panic appeared on the faces of the two of them.

Wuguan is the southern gate of Qin State, it can be said that it is the throat of Qin State. Although there are large troops in Guanzhong, there are no good generals. Yang Duanhe and others can only be partial generals. It is still a bit too late to command hundreds of thousands of troops.

"Why don't I go back with the young master?" Meng Tian looked at Ying Gang and asked tentatively.

"No, Liaodong still needs you, and you must not leave." Ying Gang replied decisively.

"What about me?" Li Xin asked tentatively.

"You can't leave either. That's fine. I'm alone in this matter. You don't want to get involved. No matter how powerful Xiang Yu is, I don't believe he can compete with my Daqin's hundreds of thousands of troops." Ying Gang looked at it with a smile Glancing at the two of them, he said, "I'll go back right away, and I'll leave everything in Liaodong to you. I hope you will remember one sentence, you're insignificant, and don't attack in numbers. If a group of enemies comes to attack, Liaodong will definitely lose."

"Dare to ask, what is obscene development, my lord?" Li Xin's face was full of bewilderment.

"This..." There was a trace of embarrassment on Ying Gang's face, and then he added: "You can think of it as a stable development of Liaodong. Anyway, you should remember that Liaodong can't help but continue to fight. No matter who comes to attack, you have to withstand it." Pressure, don't start another war."
