Chapter 455: Gongsun Is More and More Inspecting the Situation of Longhua

The resident has been selected, but in terms of the selection of the Luoyang navy, it is really disappointing. Zhou Taitiao only picked out more than a thousand people in the entire Luoyang Huangfu Chaobo sphere of influence. In the case of the old department, it is estimated that there are only two soldiers and horses, which is three departments away from a school of soldiers and horses. Fortunately, the number of warships in Luoyang is far from enough, and the level and number of shipbuilding craftsmen are obviously not enough, so we say , The construction of the navy has a long way to go. After Zhou Tai had chosen the bases of the soldiers, horses and navy, he immediately came to Huangfu Chaobo, and said that he would return to Jingzhou after escorting Zaozhi, and said that he wanted to go to Yunmengze to recruit and gather some water thieves. Choose among the sailors.

Huangfu Chaobo readily agreed, and asked him to bring two thousand gold to surrender at that time, so that the people he recruited should not be limited to sailors and soldiers, but also various shipbuilding craftsmen. Ah arranged for people to take over Zhou Tai and the others' original foothold in Xiangyang as a station of the Shadow Guard in Xiangyang. If Zhou Tai didn't have enough money, he could ask Shadow to send back the news, and Huangfu Chaobo would arrange for someone to send it. Zhou Tai benefited from Huangfu Chaobo's spare no effort to support him, and made up his mind to train the navy as soon as possible.

At the beginning of April, after finishing his own affairs, Zaoyi, under the protection of Zhou Tai and dozens of soldiers, took a large amount of property to Yecheng, the governor of Jizhou. On the surface, the purpose of his trip was to go to Jizhou to buy grain, but in fact it was to form an alliance with Han Fu. The reconstruction and coordination of Luoyang was all handed over to Lou Gui, while Huang Zhong led the generals to carry out military operations non-stop. Training.

The reconstruction of Luoyang is proceeding calmly. But something happened in You Beiping that Huangfu Chaobo didn't expect.

In mid-April, Gongsun Zan's army sent troops from the Lulong Fortress to the grassland and returned in victory. In two months, Gongsun Zan led the army to sweep across several foreign tribes within 300 miles outside the Great Wall. To the surprise of the players, this time, Gongsun Zan did not kill anyone, but instead returned to the Great Wall from Lulong Fortress with more than 10,000 foreign captives, and then sent the captives to the newly ruled Junmi County After handing it over to Gongsun Yue, he led the army back to Tuyin City, the governor of Youbeiping.

What the players didn't realize was that 5,000 of the more than 10,000 captives were escorted by Gongsun Yue and 2,000 cavalry on a certain night, and went north into the edge of the grassland again. Gongsun Yue's destination is of course Longhua City outside the Great Wall. This is part of the agreement with Huangfu Chaobo. In fact, the purpose of his trip is not only to send prisoners, but also to inspect Longhua Town requested by Gongsun Zan development situation. However, this time, Gongsun Zan also learned the tricks. Of the 12,000 captives, only 5,000 were sent by Gongsun Yue. Among them, only a thousand were strong, and the rest were old, weak, women, and Confucianism, because there were no prisoners in Junmi County. How many people, so the remaining captives are used for the construction of Junmi County.

Gongsun Yue had already sent people to contact Tian Yu and others in Longhua Town before setting off. After Tian Yu received the news from the shadow, he immediately adjusted the population and troops in the town. Apart from the 1,000 ordinary cavalry, only 3,000 infantry and 8,000 ordinary people remained. All other soldiers and horses and nearly 10,000 people have moved to the vicinity of Baihugou Pass to build Baihugou Pass and Baihugou inside the pass. town. Then, Tian Yu led two thousand cavalry to the direction of Junmi to meet Gongsun Yue and his party.

Three days later, Gongsun Yue and Tian Yu rushed to Longhua Town with 5,000 captives. Seeing the pass under construction in Guzhong and the town full of stones and timber inside the pass, Gongsun Yue couldn't help being surprised, and said: "Lieutenant Tian, ​​it's only been a few months, and your speed is quite fast. Upgraded to a small town."

"The second general has won the award," Tian Yu said with a smile; "After I got the permission of General Gongsun, my lord ordered me to wait and speed up the construction day and night. In addition to four or five thousand soldiers, there are less than eight thousand people and prisoners in the town. If we want to quickly upgrade to a county seat, we have to rely on the second general to provide us with more people!"

"Isn't this a prisoner for you?

"Gongsun Yue patted Tian Yu on the shoulder and said, "With these five thousand captives, won't you go to the grassland to catch some more and you will soon be able to gather 20,000 people? "

"Yes, yes, that's what I said, but after upgrading a county seat, it will be basically difficult in the future. You know, this grassland is originally sparsely populated. If you want to gather 50,000 people, there is no It's basically impossible for ten or eight years, but it doesn't matter, anyway, the lord just wants to find a stable place to raise horses and train horses, there is basically no difference between a small city and a city." Tian Yu pretended said indifferently;

Gongsun Yue heard this, the light in his eyes flashed, and he quickly said: "It doesn't matter, the size of the city doesn't matter, we can send you prisoners when needed, but the number of troops stationed Not less, you see, this time I specially selected more than a thousand strong soldiers for you, these are all good sources of soldiers!"

"Yes, yes, the two cities of your family and I will be nailed to the outside of the Great Wall like nails!" Tian Yu said; "The two cities will support each other, and when this side is upgraded to a county seat, what the Lord means is the city It will stop at this level. At that time, except for some necessary personnel, most of the strong and strong people in Longhua City will be recruited as soldiers. As for the farmland and grazing, they will be handed over to women and children. We still need to purchase a large amount of food from You Beiping, and we will need the help of the Second General."

"Don't worry, with the relationship between me and your lord, these are minor problems, you should hurry up and upgrade the city, and then concentrate on taming the horses!" Gongsun Yue said, patting his chest;

"That's for sure. At that time, I will definitely get some good horses for the generals and send them over."

Gongsun Yue only stayed in Longhua Town for half a day. He saw that the whole town was basically an empty shell, and the population was obviously insufficient, which was basically equal to the number of soldiers. However, the defense was still in place. The people of Longhua Town The location is well chosen. If there is a pass in the middle of the valley, as long as there is enough money and food inside, it can basically last for a year and a half under the siege of tens of thousands of troops. According to Gongsun Yue along the way, there are all kinds of workshops in Longhua Town, but they are basically built there, like a blacksmith workshop. Although there is an intermediate blacksmith inside, there are not many iron ore raw materials in it, but there are some damaged ones. Weapons and equipment are being repaired. As for other workshops, the situation is similar. I believe that with such a city outside the Great Wall, even if the Xianbei people go south, if they don’t solve this place first, I believe they will not dare to invade Junmi on a large scale. It can be said that Junmi City is safe before Longhua is captured. .
