Chapter 251 Chaos in Liaodong (3) 3/3(1/2)
That night, Bu Zhi, Chen Qun and others built wooden fences outside Xiangping City, and then used the method of building a city with ice and snow as Zhuge Liang mentioned, and built a city wall of up to three meters high overnight. // Updated at high speed//.
This also shows that Zhuge Liang's method of building a city with ice and snow can be implemented.
It is now early winter, and the temperature at night is minus 10c. It can be imagined that as the middle of winter enters, the temperature will definitely get lower and lower, and the speed of building a city with ice and snow will also accelerate. However, it takes a lot of manpower to build ten cities on an 800-mile road in a month. Fortunately, Liu Chuang does not lack manpower now, and tens of thousands of Liaodong prisoners are enough to take on the heavy responsibility.
"It is probably not enough for Gongsun Kang alone.
Since the Goguryeo and the Yu people may send troops to attack each other, they must also be prepared.
I thought that Wei Yan and General Pang De could be ordered to lead 3,000 troops to build military camps along the Daliang River and Xiaoliao River... Since building a city in ice and snow can shake Gongsun Kang's military morale, why can't we use this method to shock the powerful people of various counties, as well as the Goguryeo and the husband Yu people? Just imagine that the Xuantu County people woke up overnight and found that two cities appeared on the other side. What would it be like?"
Yan Rou offered Liu Chuang advice and immediately got Liu Chuang's approval.
The cost of building a city with ice and snow is not high, the key is manpower.
"In this way, we built two ice cities outside Houcheng City.
He ordered Wei Yan to lead his troops to station in Xiaoliao River, and Pang De built an ice city upstream of Daliang River... Well, if this is the case, I would be a little short of it. I will pass on my order and immediately send Mi Fang to Xiangping. Bo Zheng, I remember that you are proficient in the words of Hu Yu, are you willing to serve me as a mission to the Fu Yu Kingdom?"
Yan Rou was stunned when she heard this, and then she understood what Liu Chuang meant.
Compared with Goguryeo, the country of Fuyu is not too threatening to Liaodong.
Even to a certain extent, Yu Kingdom had a heart of surrender to the Han court.
However, over the years, the Han Dynasty has been in a slump and the country has declined, so that Yu Kingdom is not as respectful to the Han Dynasty as before.
But after all, the national strength of Fuyu Kingdom is not too strong.
But it is not easy to attack Fuyu Kingdom. Fuyu Kingdom has a large area, and its rule includes Heilongjiang and half of Jilin in later generations. Instead of conquering Fuyu Kingdom, it is better to focus on Huairou and slowly work. As long as the troubles of Fuyu Kingdom are solved, Liu Chuang can do his best to deal with Goguryeo. At this time, Goguryeo was far from the power of Goguryeo during the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
If the threat from Goguryeo cannot be completely solved, even if Liu Chuang goes south to the Central Plains, he will inevitably have worries.
Yan Rou is a smart man. From Liu Chuang's strategy to treat Fu Yu Kingdom, he could see Liu Chuang's next plan. His eyes lit up and he quickly bowed and said, "Rou is willing to follow the emperor's instructions."
This is an ambitious lord!
Although Yan Rou still couldn't explain whether he was a wise leader, he felt that Liu Chuang was enough to let him serve.
"Uncle Emperor!"
"Um?"
"Rou has another request."
"speak!"
"He said that when the emperor uncle was using troops against Goguryeo, Yan Rou would like to follow the army into Goguryeo and seize the domestic city."
Liu Chuang glanced at Yan Rou and nodded slightly.
"If there is really that, I will make Bo Zheng the commander."
Although it is not clear why Yan Rou is so interested in attacking Goguryeo, Liu Chuang saw a hint of fanaticism in his eyes.
Goguryeo must be eliminated!
This is a plan that Liu Chuang had already decided before entering Liaoning.
Not only Goguryeo, but also Sanhan... that is Liu Chuang's real goal. Seizing Sanhan is equivalent to having a stable ranch and farm. At the same time, Sanhan's strength is weak, and it is no problem to eliminate it. By then, the entire Liaodong would have a stable rear, which is truly safe. Not to mention, Liu Chuang had no good impression of Sanhan in his previous life.
Sanhan has a large population.
Sanhan has many other products...
And these are the resources that Liu Chuang needs most now.
If you want to develop and strengthen Liaodong and do not take the three Koreans, how can you stabilize the rear?
As for Fuyu Kingdom...
Liu Chuang couldn't help but feel excited!

At the end of October of the fourth year of Jian'an, Liu Bei defeated Yuan Shu in Xia Pi.
Yuan Shu had to lead his troops back to Shouchun when his road to the north was blocked. In June of the following year, Yuan Shu retreated to Jiangting, with only thirty hu of food and grass left in the army. It was the summer heat, and Yuan Shu wanted to quench his thirst with honey, but no one looked for him. Sitting on the bed, Yuan Shu sighed for a long time and sighed: "If I don't want me, Yuan Shu, I will have this day."
Soon after, he died of indignation and vomited blood.
Yuan Shu's cousin Yuan Yin was afraid of Cao Cao and did not dare to go back to Shouchun, so he took Yuan Shu's coffin and his wife and children to Lujiang...
However, these things are not important to Liu Chuang.
There are too many things he needs to worry about at this time.
After the plan to build a city with ice and snow was agreed, Liu Chuang immediately ordered Taishi Ci to launch Xinchang.
There were nearly 8,000 surrendered soldiers accompanying him... Liu Chuang promised them that once the Liaodong pacification was pacified, they could get rid of their armor and return to their fields without having to stay in the army.
Moreover, Gongsun Du's sufficient food storage guaranteed the supply of food and salary for these surrendered soldiers.
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, soldiers rarely had any idea of serving the country. They joined the army more because of life and had to do it.
He could eat his stomach and gain civilian status, so the surrendered soldiers quickly stabilized.
After Taishi Ci led his troops to the expedition, the marching speed was not very fast.
On the first day, the Han army advanced only more than 60 miles.
After dark, Taishici ordered camping on the spot. Under the command of the surrendered soldiers, they dug snow and boiled water and built camps. However, the camp they built this time was very different from the past. The wooden fence of the camp was about three meters high, and the fences were filled with earth and rocks, and then the boiling snow water was poured on. In just one night, a city about four meters high in the city wall rose from the ground and appeared in the wilderness of Liaodong.
The sun shines on the walls of the Ice City, reflecting a psychedelic light.
Even the surrendered soldiers who built this city with their own hands were extremely surprised and even developed an inexplicable sense of respect.
Taishi Ci led his troops to climb to the top of the city, looked at the white snow fields, and suddenly laughed to the sky.
"Why is the general laughing?"
Xiao Ling was beside him and asked quickly.
Taishi Ci shook his head and smiled, "The emperor's uncle once said that Kong Ming had the unpredictable wisdom of ghosts and gods. I always thought that the emperor's uncle was a little exaggerated.
Now it seems that little Kongming is really as wise as the emperor said.
Zisheng, have you ever seen such a method? With such a city, it will not only make our food channels clear, but also make Gongsun Kang's son feel anxious. I originally thought that this battle would be extremely difficult. But now I think that the Liaodong soldiers and horses would be defeated before we reach Xi'anping... I passed my order, and the three armies immediately dressed up and continued to move forward with me. Now, it is necessary to travel sixty miles."
Whether it is the Han army or the surrendered soldiers, they are actually very tired.
However, under the stimulation of building a city overnight, the morale of the soldiers was high and the army was motivated.
The next day, the march reached eighty miles.
Then, Taishici ordered the city to be built on the spot, and then the rest was carried out.
Just like this, walk for two days and rest for one day.
Ten days later, the Han army had advanced nearly 400 miles and built seven cities.
Seven ice cities rose from the ground in the empty snowy fields, and under the sunlight, they exuded a mysterious color.
The news spread quickly, which shocked Gongsun Kang from Xi'anping.
Building seven cities on ten days?
How is this possible!
But according to the scouts' reward, the seven cities appeared overnight in the snow field, standing alive and truly on the snow field.
Could it be that Uncle Liu has the help of the gods?
Otherwise, how could he build so many cities in just seven days?
Not to mention the Liaodong soldiers felt inexplicably panic, even Gongsun Kang could not help but be frightened.
However, what if you, Uncle Liu, have the help of the gods? I don’t have any other tricks, and it depends on how long you can be proud!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Faced with the approaching of the Han army, Gongsun Kang was frightened.
The four cities that appeared overnight on the banks of the Xiaoliao River and Daliang River caused panic and uneasiness in the entire Liaodong.
The magistrate of Houcheng County would never have thought that overnight, two cities of similar size would appear twenty miles west of Houcheng County under his jurisdiction.
Just by looking at the banner, you will know that the other party is a Han army.
But the magistrate of Houcheng clearly remembered that before dark yesterday, the two cities should have been a snow field, how could it suddenly...
When the news came out, the people of Houcheng went out to check.
Originally they thought it was a joke, but when they left the city, they found that the two cities actually appeared in front of them so realistically. Uncle Bai Wang, a flying bear, and stagnated the chaos on the snow. This folk song, which was originally regarded as a joke, quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys of Houcheng.
Located in a magnificent mansion in Houcheng County, a middle-aged man in a fur robe showed surprise on his face.
"You really see clearly that there are two cities?"
In front of him, a young man stood with his hands down, looking about his early twenties.
The young man looked excited, waved his arms and shouted loudly, "Father, I'm not wrong. It's really two cities that appeared overnight. I passed by there yesterday. It was just a ferry, an open space, and there was no people at all. God knows why two cities appeared on this night. Father, I really don't lie to you. Not only me can see it, but many people have seen it."
"Uncle Bai Wang, Fei Xiong appears..."
To be continued...
