Chapter 545: Adapting to the Environment

After He Bida was full of heart, he was calm in his usual situation and showed all his doubts on his face. When Li De saw that if he couldn't explain clearly, the generals who led the troops would definitely have conflicts with his orders.

"You have seen the experience of failure, but have you ever thought about whether there is another way to reach Goryeo?"

He Bida was silent. He had thought about taking a waterway, but it had proved that it would not work. What else could be done? It would be better to take a waterway than to pass through the mountains of mountains.

Not only He Bida was silent, but even the other captains were thinking, they really couldn't think of it, and their expressions were puzzled and puzzled.

"Grandmaster, is there really such a way?" He Bida asked.

Seeing that everyone still didn't expect it, Li De said, "Get the map."

Soon after taking the map, Li De pointed his target directly at the northern tribe, and the commanders all looked surprised because there was really a way.

Li De pointed to the place north of the Liao River, near the Yalu River.

The commanders suddenly realized that there was indeed such a way, but it seemed that they had another problem.

"Grandmaster, you mean going to Goryeo from the territory of the Northern Barbarians. If this is the case, you must conquer the Northern Barbarians before attacking Goryeo." He Bida said.

Li De nodded. In fact, this is his idea. Attacking Goryeo was just an excuse for his real purpose to occupy all areas in northern Liao.

It can be said that it is to seize the territory of tribes such as the Northern Barbarians and Turks.

"Grandmaster, if the Northern Barbarians are invaded, 150,000 troops will not be enough. The northern Liaoning area is vast, and even if it is defeated, it will be difficult to defend it." He Bida said worriedly.

Li Jing didn't say a word. Anyway, all he had to do was to formulate tactics and cooperate with the deployment orders of the Grand Commander. They had studied the battle in Liaobei before.

The reason why we set our goal in northern Liaoning is that we have a vast territory and many resource reserves are waiting to be developed, and the other is to truly solve the border defense problem.

The Northern Barbarians are a threat, and Goryeo is also a threat. If they occupy northern Liao, then the territory connecting Youzhou will develop even more after the expansion.

"Don't worry, with the current development speed, as long as we have land, we will not worry about the lack of people. Just like Youzhou City, the popularity has recovered in less than three years. I'm afraid I will be worried about being overcrowded in the future, so it is necessary to prepare in advance." Li Dedao.

Of course, all the military officers agreed. If there is a war, it means that they can get military achievements. Now, there are 300,000 soldiers in Youzhou, which can be said to have a certain degree of strength. The Turks are their number one enemy.

If the entire area of ​​Liaobei can occupy the entire area, then the Turks and Northern Barbarians can be excluded from the forces, and the enemy's living environment will be even more difficult, so there will be an opportunity to destroy them sooner or later.

The commanders were all smart winners, and now they knew that they were looking forward to expanding territory. What surprised them was that they had never thought that their governor would want to be before them.

"Governor-General, tell me what we want to do and give orders."

The excited captains all knew that their lives might be spent in the constant war in the future. They were looking forward to it and even more of their life they yearned for.

Seeing that it was almost done, Li De directly told his plan, just as everyone thought.

"Okay, you must keep things secret. Before dealing with Goryeo, you must first eliminate all the forces in the north and prevent the sneak attacks of Goryeo people. There are many things to do next." Li Dedao.

After a while, everyone finished the matter, and Li De also went back to rest. This time, no female relatives followed him, and Li Jing and others went to do things.

The tactical cooperation of the chariot also requires training, and the soldiers of the military city must also learn how to operate in case of irregular situations.

Although the military city had just passed the battle, it was already over after the soldiers cleaned the battlefield. The bonfire far away seemed to illuminate the whole night.

The flames continued after a day and a night.

The vanguard soldiers who had been corrected for one night were very energetic when they woke up in the morning. The new day began. Except for the 50,000 soldiers and horses brought by Li De, the remaining 100,000 soldiers and horses were all scattered out to take care of the fields and patrol and collect supplies.

Wood, wild vegetables, hunting, all people were arranged, and more people were dealing with the issue of prisoners of war.

Li De got up early in the morning. He was very concerned about the issue of prisoners of war, so he discussed with the lieutenants.

Shi Huaiyi had a straight temper and said directly: "If you want me to say it, you should use these Turks to exchange supplies according to the previous method."

"No, wouldn't you be able to replenish the Turkic troops?" Ding Qilin immediately opposed.

"What do you think you should do?" Shi Huaiyi asked.

"If I want to say, let these Turks be craftsmen and build houses here. The Governor said that there will be many people in the future. Now we are starting to prepare for the stones and wood in the mountains, so it is a good labor force to build houses." Ding Qilin said.

After following Li De for so long, the merchant learned his mind and thought about getting the greatest benefits and letting the enemy help them with their labor. The commanders all agreed.

Li De didn't say anything, he was also thinking about the problem.

Listening to several lieutenants talking about how they use these people to work. In fact, he would have considered this way in the past, but he thought that his current status and ideas had to be considered in the future.

Labor reform is necessary, but the ultimate goal is to make people be kind. To put it bluntly, it is assimilation. Otherwise, they will always treat them with the attitude of the enemy for a long time, which will be unfavorable to development.

"Okay, labor is necessary, but first of all, what they need to do is not labor but study." Li Dedao.

"Study?" The lieutenants were a little confused.

"Grandmaster, what does this mean?"

Li De began to explain: "Everyone needs communication. Although they are prisoners, the vanguard soldiers cannot support them for the rest of their lives. They always have to give them freedom. In order to avoid them becoming enemies in the future, the first thing they have to do is to let them learn language during the process of labor."

Communication is a problem, and the lieutenants all understood it even though they thought about it.

A consensus was quickly reached, and Li De agreed to let them build real estate. Not to mention the people, if they have houses, they can resettle the soldiers' families to solve the problem of long-term separation.

At the same time, it can replenish the people of the military city. There are vast land here with rare and large areas of land waiting to be cultivated, which requires people.

In order to carry out the next strategic requirements, Li De brought 50,000 soldiers and horses to train every day. When adapting to the environment here, the weather in the north is very changing.
