Liu E continued: "And this matter is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you, Marshal Zuo."

"how do I say this?"

"The King of Wei previously led troops to conquer these barbarians and defeated the Mongols several times. The Wang Gu tribe was frightened by the power of Jin Tianwei, and all the tribes obeyed. Since the Wang Gu tribe now has a disobedient heart, Marshal Zuo, you are now pressing forward with your army.

Wang Gu's tribe will turn into powder like rotten wood."

Liu E spoke quickly and impassionedly.

"However, this Wang Gu tribe is nomadic after all. They flee very fast and cannot be wiped out in a short time. Xioguan has a plan, which can not only eliminate the troubles of Wang Gu tribe for Marshal Zuo, but also help Dajin unify the grassland."

"Speak quickly."

"Although the Tatar tribe is superficially obedient to me, Dai Jin, secretly they have different intentions. Why not Marshal Zuo take this opportunity and ask the King of Wei to issue an order to the Tatar tribe and order the Tatar tribe to also recruit troops to go south to help our army quell the chaos. If this happens

The Tatar tribe is not willing either, so we will fight together!"

"This is a wonderful plan!" Pucha Shi's slave said happily, "Who should I send to see Alash?"

Pucha Shi's slave looked around, but no one answered.

Of course these people didn't dare to move. Now the intelligence showed that Wang Gubu was having an affair with the Song Dynasty. What if he ran over and was stabbed by that old bastard Ala Hushu and gave it to the Song people?

At this time, Yelu Yujian stood up and said: "Marshal Zuo, General Zuo is willing to go."

"You can't go. You are the Zuo Dujian. Who will lead the troops if you go?"

"Then let Yelu Rongguang, the son of the last general, go. He is brave and resourceful and will not disappoint Marshal Zuo's expectations."

When Liu E saw that none of these people were willing to move, only Yelu Yu and his son were willing to go, so he had no choice but to say to Pu Cha Shi's slave: "Marshal Zuo, I think it's feasible."

If this was the case, Pucha Shi's slave had no choice but to say: "Okay, I'll send your son."

The next day, Yelu Rongguang set out.

However, Yelu Nu Ge reported Ye Lu Yu Jian's rebellion, but Pucha Shi's slave kept silent and did not mention it again.

May 29th, Tokyo City.

Lu Yihao submitted a report on Hebei Official Road.

"Your Majesty, the current transportation of materials in Hebei is mainly based on the Yellow River and the sea." Lu Yihao said, "The northern branch of the Yellow River runs from Damingfu through Jizhou, to the Hejian area, and finally enters the sea from Cangzhou. This sea line is

From the Hangzhou area to Dengzhou and Cangzhou areas, the two fast-moving supplies lines cannot reach Zhongshan Prefecture and Zhending Prefecture, which are precisely the important military centers of our country."

"So you mean, this official road must be built to Hebei West Road?"

"Yes, it must be built to Dingzhou, or at least to Tang County. From Tang County, it can be used as a military deterrent to Yizhou. As long as it can be built, we will definitely take the initiative in the war."

What Lu Yihao said is true.

In fact, wars between countries cannot be decided by just a few generals.

War between countries is fought in depth, and depth contains troops, supplies and weapons.

What do you need to stock up on?

Depend on logistics!

Therefore, wars between countries are actually fought on logistics.

This is also the fundamental reason why Zhao Kuangyin must solve the problem in the south first.

Do you want to fight a deep and protracted war with a newly-rising empire like the Liao Kingdom on the territory of the Zhou Dynasty?

If it were not for Zhao Kuangyin and Chai Rong had not died, he insisted on attacking the north first and was dragged into a protracted war by the Liao Kingdom. There would be no way to continue with the limited tax revenue, food and population in the following weeks.

Once it is weakened, surrounding countries will immediately launch sneak attacks on it.

In the final analysis, the basis is to see who has a strong financial background, and the next step is to see who can mobilize the financial resources quickly and efficiently.

The construction of official roads is to solve the problem of transportation efficiency, and the implementation of new agricultural policies and land reform is to solve the problem of population mobilization and taxation and finance.

Lu Yihao continued: "If our army launches a war with the Jin Kingdom in Yizhou, and both sides invest 50,000 troops each, each consumes a lot of money and needs support, our army can urgently mobilize 10,000 troops within a month.

With this official road, the food and energy sources in the later period will continue to keep up, and the front line will not panic because of this, but this may not be the case in the Jin Kingdom."

"I understand what you mean." Zhao Ning said, "If this is the case, we will build it from the capital to Tang County. No, we will also build another official road from Jingzhou Mansion on Jinghu North Road to the capital to connect to the south."

"yes."

At this time, Wang Zonglio hurriedly walked in: "Your Majesty."

"What's the matter?"

"According to previous requirements, the new batch of tea leaves will be sent to Fuzhou."

"How is the deployment of the bronze cannon going?" Zhao Ning suddenly asked.

Lu Yihao and Wang Zongliu didn't answer. The bronze cannon was under the control of the military and political yamen, and the Dongfu could not interfere at will.

After a while, Zhang Shuye came to Wende Hall urgently.

He said: "One hundred bronze cannons were shipped to Fuzhou specifically for Yu Yunwen's use."

"How long does it take to be delivered?"

"It will be delivered around mid-June."

Zhao Ning thought about it.

"There is a change in the Jin army. South of Yinshan Mountain, the next step must be the golden army. The country has no foundation south of Yinshan Mountain. Now it is difficult to gain a foothold there. You can imagine the difficulty. Support for Yu Yunwen must be

It’s all-out.”

"Yes!" Zhang Shuye said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, the Military and Political Council is indeed strongly supporting him now."

Lu Yihao took over the words and said: "Ten days ago, the order to immigrate from Hedong was issued to the designated state capitals. This year, it is expected that 30,000 people will enter the state capitals and hand them over to Yu Yunwen for city wall construction."

Zhang Shuye said: "However, Henan is quite far away from Fuzhou and Fengzhou. The middle area is deserted. If you want to build a city south of the Yellow River, you must first gain an advantage in military strength."

"Don't worry about this anymore. Leave it to Yu Yunwen. Isn't there Wu Jie still guarding Fuzhou?"

"yes."

In early June, Yu Yunwen had already taken quick action.

On the pretext of expanding business, he used subsidies to attract a large number of merchants to engage in tea trading.

If you look closely at this businessman, you can find that there are also a large number of civilians and craftsmen among them.

Yu Yunwen had only one purpose: to build a stronghold more than two hundred miles northwest of Fuzhou.

This stronghold was located where the city of Ordos would later be.

Two hundred miles due north of this location is the Yellow River, and opposite is where Baotou City is located.

Of course, this place also had a name in this era, called Dongsheng Prefecture.

Dongsheng Prefecture was established by the Liao Kingdom and was very small in scale. It was mainly used to contain Xixia and control the southern foot of Yinshan Mountain in the north.

Yu Yunwen's strategic intention was very obvious, using this place as a base to attack Henan.

This was undoubtedly a stab directly into Jin Guo's calf.
