The warm spring breeze blew across the earth, and the biting cold seemed to dissipate overnight. After surviving this most difficult winter, the land of Luzhou seemed to usher in new hope.

"Grown grains have been distributed! Each household will receive according to the field area allocated to them. They are not allowed to receive more!"

"Plant the seeds as soon as you receive them, so as not to delay the farming season!"

"Ah? Sir, it's just the beginning of spring. If you plant the seedlings now, they will be stunted!"

"This kind of seed is an improved variety cultivated by [Agricultural University], which is to encourage early seedlings. It is not only more cold-resistant than ordinary rice, but also has a higher yield. With the winter wheat cultivated by [Nun Shen], we in Luzhou can also

Like the south, it gets two crops a year!"

"Is this... is this true?"

"[Liu Yin Fengguo] has been implemented there for a year or two, and the people's homes have more food than they can eat. Is this still fake?"

"…………"

"By the way, [Zhen Guo Gong] has also prepared farm tools for you. Each household can receive hoes, rakes, sickles according to their labor..."

The distant voice seemed to come from outside the sky, and countless people seemed to see a happy life in the future, but the next second, they thought of starving to death from exhaustion, and their relatives who had been captured and left without news.

Joy and sadness intertwined in their hearts, and countless people burst into tears and choked with sobs.

"[Zhen Guo Gong] is so compassionate..."

"Master, we can live a good life, why can't you hold on... Wuwuwu..."

…………

However, just as Luzhou welcomed the dawn of dawn, the savior in their eyes was extremely busy.

"[Zhehe County] is a fertile land with thousands of miles of fertile land. It is the same name as [Linbo County]. We must give priority to ensuring their supply of seeds and farm tools!"

"yes!"

"The reserve force is not fully in place yet. What is the logistics department doing?"

"Your Majesty, the transportation capacity is mainly used to transport food supplies. The dozen or so counties we conquered are extremely short of food. Those aristocratic families burned all the food they couldn't take away. The common people don't have overnight food at home. If

If we don’t provide relief, I’m afraid there will be a large-scale tragedy... As you ordered before, priority should be given to ensuring the survival of the people!"

"…………"

Nodding his eyebrows, Zhao Yinshun took a long breath: "Very good, you did a good job!"

"Thank you, sir!"

"However, the reserves can relieve the blockade pressure of the [Shenwu Army]. When will they arrive and when can we launch a general attack? You have to hurry up!"

Hearing this, the subordinate showed a troubled expression.

"Your Majesty, after rough statistics, the population of the dozen or so newly recovered counties is close to 200 million. With our current transportation capacity, it is already insufficient just to maintain their survival. We also have to ensure production. We really cannot do it in a short time.

Transport all reserves to the front lines..."

"Then when do you expect to complete the task?"

"If we can wait until the first round of local food harvest..."

"Doesn't that mean we have to wait until summer?"

Noticing Zhao Yinshun's slight frown, Zhou Rou on the side took over the topic.

"Your Majesty, now that all the enemies have been sealed in Lanji County, you can slowly control them."

"What's more, the vast majority of the 5 million reservists are still unawakened mortals. If they are forced to fill in the lines, the casualties will probably be considerable. It is better to wait for the [Elixir Bureau] to refine some more powerful elixirs for the awakening of the martial arts. Our army

There will definitely be a qualitative improvement in strength.”

Speaking of this, Zhou Rou whispered meaningfully.

"Now, our army has engulfed Luzhou and is getting stronger every second, while the enemy is in desperate situation. They should be the ones who are anxious..."

"Well... I have swallowed it, but if I want to fully digest it and turn my potential into strength, I can't do it within a year or two..."

Speaking of this, Zhao Yinshun called softly without looking back.

"Chu Qinqin."

"My subordinate is here."

"When will [Long]'s cadres be fully in place? Nowadays, one cadre has to manage an average of seven or eight villages and towns. The ruling power at the grassroots level is too low!"

"It is expected that the construction of the grassroots system will be completed in two or three months, but it will probably take at least one or two years to build a bureaucracy as mature as the one in [Liu Yin Fengguo]."

"…………"

Zhao Yinshun pursed his lips in distress, walked to a huge map of Luzhou, and stared at it intently.

Except for [Lanji County], all the vast mountains and rivers of Luzhou were in the palm of my hand, but I swallowed too much and it was so big that I already suffered from severe indigestion.

In the words of the game, it is over-expanded and will explode!

One of the reasons for this is [Liu Yin Fengguo]'s own lack of foundation, but more importantly...

Those swarms of insects did a great job, and almost all the wealth and food of the people were looted. Those that could not be taken away would rather be burned than left to the people, in order to turn the entire Luzhou into a quagmire and sink themselves deeply into it.

!

In a short period of time, this huge territory and population will not only be unable to provide strength for itself, but will become a heavy burden.

This is a conspiracy. You can either watch tens of millions of people starve to death in front of your eyes, or you can only do your best to ensure their survival first!

If you choose the former, even if you win, the population of Luzhou will plummet and it will be difficult for at least one generation to recover.

By choosing the latter, the enemy will get enough breathing time.

The army of more than 10 million people took this opportunity to train hard, and then promoted some outstanding elites as key officers, and they could barely form a certain combat effectiveness!

If the Confucians find another eighth-level soldier Dao Yasheng to be the commander, then this battle will be really difficult to fight!

Holding his chest with one hand and supporting his chin with the other hand, Zhao Yinshun stared at the huge map covering the entire wall, with an elusive light shining in his eyes.

This damn world is so big!

The area of ​​Luzhou alone exceeds 15 million square kilometers, almost catching up with Da Mao in the previous life!

Transporting supplies from the easternmost [Wishan County] to the western front line, the distance is not much different from traveling through Siberia!

If it hadn't been for the built trunk railway, it would have taken at least a month or two for the supplies from [Liu Yin Fengguo] to be delivered. Tens of millions more people in the counties on the western front would have starved to death!

When this battle is over, I will definitely carry out infrastructure construction and cover the entire Luzhou with railways!

Gritting his teeth, Zhao Yinshun moved his eyes and focused on the middle area of ​​the map.

In the west-center part of the map, [Lanji County] stretches along a blockade line that stretches for more than 10,000 miles. The numbers representing the 65 divisions of the [Shenwu Army] are evenly distributed and appear to be watertight.

However, Zhao Yinshun knew that with only one million people, it was too difficult to tightly seal off a front of more than 10,000 miles.

In fact, strictly speaking, the [Shenwu Army] did not encounter any resistance from the established organizations during the process of regaining Luzhou. All the territory was voluntarily given up by the enemy, so there was no effective force to kill them on a large scale.

This also means that the enemy's overall strength is well preserved, and the real war has just begun!

"It's too risky to force one to fight ten..."

While muttering to himself, Zhao Yinshun sighed solemnly.

"Sigh... Why can't you retreat even if you have such a huge advantage? Can't you take the initiative to attack?"

"Ten million versus one million, the advantage is yours!"

"Is there going to be a fight? Come out and see me off!"

In fact, the current actions of the [Shenwu Army] are already outrageous. The art of war emphasizes the ten principles of encirclement and the five principles of attack.

It's better for him here, with one surrounded by ten, he even wants to take the initiative to attack!

If it weren't for [Shenwu Army]'s impressive reputation before, others would probably laugh out loud if they saw his unnatural operation.

However, he showed such an attitude of underestimating the enemy that the enemy's six generals just refused to take the bait!

Except for the initial wave of tentative attacks to find out the combat effectiveness of both sides, the enemy has completely transformed into an iron turtle. In addition to training troops every day, he is frantically strengthening the defense line without giving any chance!

For the first time, Zhao Yinshun felt the burden of fame and looked up at the sky with melancholy.

Although I single-handedly destroyed the city, slaughtered the army alone, swept through Shen Li, and beheaded millions of people, I was still just a child!

No, a baby to be precise!

After looking at the life span of more than 2,700 years on the attribute panel, Zhao Yinshun became even more unhappy.

Six old thieves with gray beards who are several hundred years old in total are as afraid of a baby like me as a tiger?!

Don't let me catch you, or I'll kill you all!

Grinding his teeth, Zhao Yinshun frowned slightly, and another concern emerged in his mind.

[Shengyan Duke's Mansion]'s reaction was too strange. Ever since he chopped off a great Confucian's sacrificial flag, no matter how provocative he was, there was no response from the Confucian side.

It looked like he was lying flat on his back.

No matter how powerful the [Emperor] was, they would not be able to suppress them so much.

Somehow, Zhao Yinshun always felt that they were holding something back!
