Ye Banyan is still dressed as a village girl.

When Fang Jun came over, she was hoeing the ground with a hoe, as if she wanted to plant some peas.

She was wearing a jingyi cloth skirt, which was covered with patches, and the sword was also set aside by her.

This village is not big, with only 300 people and 70 to 80 families, most of which are relatively poor and poor.

It is said that this was a stronghold of the Mo family in the past, but as time goes by, the Mo family has disappeared. Now most of the people living here are serfs on the plateau.

Now, there is only Ye Banyan, the descendant of the Mo family.

She should have taken in several apprentices too.

There are people practicing martial arts in the village.

In addition to Ye Banyan, there is also an old man in charge in the village, named Mr. Yuan, who knows his words and is quite sensible. When Ye Banyan is away, he is usually responsible for the daily affairs of Mo Village.

In addition, there is also a second head and a third head, but today the second head and a third head in Mo Village seem to have gone out and are not in Mo Village.

They are bandits on the plateau and often make a living by robbing the way. This is why they dare not go to Li Shimin openly.

Ye Banyan and Mr. Yuan had quite expected Fang Jun to come over, but they did not expect that he would arrive on the plateau so soon.

When Fang Jun walked into Mo Village, Ye Banyan and Mr. Yuan raised their heads.

There is also a group of children in Mo Village, raising a group of sheep. When they saw the large army coming in, some children couldn't help but be curious and stood aside to watch the fun.

"I am humble in Zhao Hu, I have met the general!" A big man came over. It was Zhao Hu, the deputy captain and scout of the vanguard team. He was a little excited.

Fang Jun nodded: "What's going on nearby? Are there any abnormal movements between Tubo soldiers and horses?"

"Report to General! The Tubo soldiers are temporarily located three hundred miles away, and there is no abnormal movement for the time being. Li Shan and Dugu Ling have already stared at them!"

"That's good! You're tired, go and have a rest!" Fang Jun said.

"yes!"

Zhao Hu nodded and took a few steps back.

Fang Jun then looked up at Ye Banyan and Old Yuan.

Old Yuan seemed a little excited when he saw a general coming with hundreds of Central Plains soldiers. He should be from the Central Plains, but he had not returned to the Central Plains for a long time. Now that he saw a familiar face, he should feel kind.

Of course, there may be some fear.

After all, according to Tubo, they are bandits.

Ye Banyan looked calm and had expected him to come over, but the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"Miss Ye, we meet again!" Fang Jun smiled slightly: "This time, I took His Majesty's order and went to the plateau to go to the plateau! This time, I'm afraid there will be some things to do. And we are still not familiar with the plateau, so I'm afraid we still need Miss Ye to help!"

Ye Banyan nodded when he heard this: "How many people have you brought?"

"Three hundred people!" Fang Jun said: "All are here! Facing Tubo, the manpower should not be enough. Therefore, some soldiers may need to be recruited!"

"What are you going to do?"

"I plan to do more. In addition to repelling 10,000 Tubo soldiers, I may also need to build a city here! It can be regarded as a bridgehead for the soldiers of the Central Plains. It will be very useful in the future!" Fang Jun glanced at the surrounding environment and said.

"Do you want to use this bridgehead to curb Tubo?" Ye Banyan stared at him.

Fang Jun smiled and said, "If it were just a containment, then there was no need for me to waste so much effort and go there! This bridgehead is naturally useful for the future. The soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty will be freed up one day!"

Ye Banyan frowned and was silent when she heard this: "What are you going to do?"

"First use this Lancang Valley as the base to build the city wall and fortifications! What we have to do now is to keep here before talking about it." Fang Jun said: "We have already brought some materials up, but there are still some stones. This may require Miss Ye to mobilize some people to raise them!"

"Of course there is no problem with this! There are a lot of stones nearby, we can find them!"

"That's good!"

"I didn't expect you to come here in person. In fact, the plateau is extremely difficult! It is extremely barren and many places have not yet been fully integrated, far from being as prosperous as Chang'an. Emperor Tang was thinking about the plateau, and it may cost a huge price! Moreover, it is very likely that it is thankless!" Ye Banyan looked at him and said.

"We naturally thought about this. However, the plan has not been decided yet. I came up this time just to give it a try! If it works, then do it. If it is not feasible, then retreat. For Your Majesty, the loss will not be great!" Fang Jun spoke.

"Then you guys! As long as you don't harm the people in the cottage, do whatever you want." Ye Banyan nodded.

"Miss Ye!" Fang Jun smiled slightly, looked back at Xiaohe next to her, and saw that her face was pale, so he said, "I don't know if Miss Ye can help me find a room. Someone here needs a rest!"

Ye Banyan glanced at Xiaohe and nodded.

Xiaohe looked a little uncomfortable when she went to the plateau for the first time.

Although it was not altitude sickness, it was probably difficult to breathe. She was not in good condition along the way. She probably had to drink more water, rest and replenish oxygen.

Ye Banyan quickly helped him find the house. Fang Jun arranged for others and took Xiaohe over to rest.

This village already has a city wall, but considering that Tubo has a large number of troops, a higher city wall and trenches are still needed to be repaired.

This has been planned before coming here, so there is no big problem.

Let’s make a simple repair first, and then wait for the things to come in place before repairing them. When Fang Jun sent a scout to come up, he had asked them to survey the environment many times and asked them to find some materials around.

These materials are very ordinary and not difficult to find. They are lucky and have found them.

One of them is located by the river, which is a piece of clay.

Fang Jun hasn't visited yet.

If you are sure that it is the materials you need, you can dig a lot. Building a city will not be a big problem at that time.

good!

Fang Jun already plans to build a fortress city here.

Use local materials and just dig them directly by the river. In addition to the clay on the river, white burning lime is also easier to find.

The scouts of the vanguard found a place that was about a hundred miles away from Lancang Valley in Mo Village, which was not particularly far away.

After settling Xiaohe, Zhao Hu rushed over and gave Fang Jun a map.

Fang Jun took a look and nodded: "Organize some people to dig back and show me some! If it works, then dig more from tomorrow!"

"yes!"

"Order the craftsmen to start building the stove here. This one has been planned before, so do it as planned!"

"yes!"
Chapter completed!
