Han counter current

From a distance, Gongsun Kang could see that the fortress was all made of solid stones, how much manpower and material resources would be consumed.

Inside the fortress, Chen Feng handed over the task of defending the city wall to his adopted son Yan Cheng, and Gongsun Xu also volunteered to help.

Regarding Gongsun Xu, Jia Xu supported Chen Feng to recruit him, not only because of the influence of Gongsun's family in Youzhou, but more importantly, Gongsun Xu is definitely a talent, and it is a talent that Chen Feng's tent is in short supply.

Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Zhang He and others are very good fighters, and they can even become half handsome talents after a lot of experience.

Cao Xing, Wei Yue and others led a small number of cavalry to have a huge impact on the nomadic tribes on the grassland, and they are also talents.

But other than that, Chen Feng didn't have any all-round talent. In comparison, Gongsun Xu was absolutely all-rounder.

In terms of leading troops in battle, under Gongsun Zan's command, he had commanded the White Horse Yi Cong, commanded tens of thousands of troops, and also commanded the Black Mountain Army.

In terms of coordinating supplies, he used to be the chief logistics manager of the four northern states. He knew the customs and customs of the various places in the rear, and he even knew the cities and population conditions in each place.

In terms of knowledge and vision, he has seen enough big scenes, and he has basically not missed the big battles that have happened in the north and grasslands over the years.

It doesn't mean that Gongsun Xu's ability must surpass Zhang Liao and others, but, at least so far, Zhang Liao and others commanded the most troops with less than [-] horses.

They didn't have such an opportunity, and it was even more impossible to have such an experience. Compared with Gongsun Xu, Zhang Liao and the others were still lacking in many aspects.

Moreover, Zhang Liao, Zhang He and others are all qualified cavalry generals. Even Xu Huang has been mixing with cavalry for a while.

But Gongsun Xu was different. He had commanded the White Horse Yi Cong as an elite cavalry soldier, and now there are hundreds of Bai Horse Yi Cong soldiers under his command.

He was an elite infantryman who had commanded the Black Mountain soldiers who had survived a hundred battles. Back then, Zhang Yan sent him hundreds of soldiers to curry favor with him. Now there are still two hundred of them left by his side.

In other words, even Chen Feng had never had such a rich experience.

Siege the city, continue the meeting with Gongsun, defend the city, continue the meeting with Gongsun, coordinate supplies, continue with the Gongsun, develop the rear, raise food and grass, and continue with the Gongsun.

Maybe Gongsun Xu is not particularly outstanding from a single point of view, but the key point is that he has done everything, and he can do everything. This is the talent Chen Feng lacks most now.

No, seeing that his savior didn't have any well-known defenders of the city, even his teenage adopted son was sent to defend the city.

Gongsun Xu couldn't sit still anymore. Isn't this an opportunity to show off, well, coming to Liaoxi by himself is not just for leisure.

"After this battle, the lord can subdue this son."

Looking at the various records submitted by Gongsun Xu, Jia Xu was very satisfied with the arrangement of the supplies for the defense of the city, the arrangement of the soldiers, and the arrangement of the troops.

"You like him so much."

Chen Feng naturally knew that his future brother-in-law was a talent.

"Are you sure he will follow me? Instead of recruiting another group of people."

"He has vision that no one else has."

Jia Xu smiled.

"This son has a lot of experience, he has a lot of experience, and he does things meticulously. He knows what he lacks now, and he also understands that the Gongsun family cannot return to the glory of Gongsun Zan's time, but he wants to keep the Gongsun family and then go to revenge.

For these, he will definitely think carefully. Besides, isn't the lord very interesting to Gongsunyue?

The lord can continue to work hard, as long as you marry the Gongsun family, this eldest son will definitely give you his heart, at least, he will find a way to capture Youzhou for you. "

"You say that you are old enough to encourage others to pick up girls. It's not serious."

"If you don't mean it, then the old man will tell him that the Lord doesn't like his sister."

"Yoha, you're insane, you dare to do this, hahahaha, well, let's not talk about it, Gongsun Kang has already been transferred out.

Junyi should have also made a detour to the rear. Whether he can take down Gongsun Kang's hometown in one fell swoop depends on Junyi's ability.

In addition, Wei Yue has led [-] elite cavalry to detour to the Sanhan area, where he will kill and kill Gongsun Kang. Anyone who runs errands for Gongsun Kang will be punished.

Now that there is nothing behind them, it is time for our cavalry to show their might. Huh, they want to grab my things, but they don't weigh their own weight. "

"There is no suspense about the matter here. The old man will return to Liaoxi the day after tomorrow. There are still many things waiting for me to deal with when I go back."

After thinking about it for a while, Jia Xu felt that there was nothing else to be done.

"By the way, my lord, the heirs of the Mohists and Legalists have already arrived, and they are waiting for the lord in western Liaoning. I have arranged for the Mohist disciples to set up a craftsman camp alone, and at the same time, I have taught them some machine tools and other machinery from western Liaoning.

Presumably with the participation of the Mohist disciples, my western Liaoning will develop faster.As for the Legalists, for the time being, I dare not arrange anything for them.

But I first showed them the laws that the lord made temporarily. If they can accept it, they will definitely stay. If they can't accept it, hehe, there will definitely be a group of people left. "

"That's good news."

Chen Feng nodded, he knew that he would not be able to complete so many tasks by himself, only in terms of machinery.

Most of the time, what he knows are theories and blueprints, while those ordinary craftsmen lack certain creativity even though they are very skilled.

But the Mohists are different. They have been passed down for hundreds of years, and all kinds of knowledge have been accumulated. Although they have suffered huge losses in the middle, the spirit of exploration of the Mohists has always been there.

As long as you give them an idea, give them a blueprint, and then give them all the help, they can quickly do some impossible things well. This is what Chen Feng needs most at the moment.

"How about this, after you go back, immediately recruit people to enrich the shipyard, and if there are people from the Mohists who have research or interest in this area, you can let them enter the shipyard.

After Liaodong is taken, I plan to move the shipyard here. The geographical location here is more suitable for housing those craftsmen.

In addition, I know that there is a large iron mine in the land of Sanhan, and the quality is very good. If the steel smelted from this iron mine is used to make weapons, our army's equipment can be upgraded to another level.

The conquest of the Xiongnu was too hasty this time. Some soldiers were equipped with ordinary 2000-steel-smelting weapons. At present, the best [-]-steel-smelting weapons are equipped with less than [-] people.

This is not enough, we not only need to improve in terms of talents and technology, but also in terms of raw materials, we also need to find better ones. "

"You know more about this matter than I do, so I will do as you wish."

Jia Xu nodded, he knew that his lord was very good at machinery and smelting, and he was even more interested in shipbuilding.

Now Liaoxi has purchased and manufactured hundreds of ships, including three built-up ships. As for sea-going ships that are larger than built-up ships, one has also been built.

It is because of these ships that the materials and personnel from western Liaoning can cross the strait to reach the coast of eastern Liaoning in such a short period of time. This is also the main reason why western Liaoning can deceive Gongsun Kang.

So far, the reason why Gongsun Kang is still unwilling to retreat is because he has received news that the Liaoxi Army does not have many people here, and as long as they conquer the pass in front of them, all the supplies here will belong to him.

In order to prevent the reinforcements from the west of Liaoning to make trouble, Gongsun Kang deployed some troops in the north. As everyone knew, Chen Feng was constantly transporting supplies through the strait every day.

"How about it, brother Gongsun, are you still used to living here?"

Looking at Gongsun Xu who had just returned from his tour of the city, Chen Feng asked him to sit down and filled a glass of wine for him himself.

"You said that the materials and personnel I prepared are not enough for Gongsun Kang to torment."

"Enough to take down the entire Liaodong."
