The Feiwei has always reported the battle situation of Wan Kingdom to Li Yu in time, so Li Yu is also very familiar with the situation in Wan Kingdom.

Not only did he understand that the generals he swung under Meng Liao, Chen Fang, Gao Tu, Qin Shengying, Guan Ying and other generals were also very familiar with the battle situation.

The generals led by Chen Fang also specially made a sand table on the battlefield of Wanguo.

According to the battle reports provided by Feiwei, sand table deduction was carried out.

Discuss what are the faults of the Zhou army, what are the faults of the Xifan army, how will the future war develop, etc.

To sum up, the generals did not have an optimistic attitude towards this war.

During this period, the formation of the border army has achieved considerable results.

Outside the city of Pyeongchang, the border troops established a large military camp.

And recruited 20,000 new recruits.

In addition to the original veterans, the total force was exactly 30,000.

In addition, Li Yu also established a military camp in the Su Nu tribe, with 20,000 troops stationed, of which 10,000 were from Zhou people and the other 10,000 were from Su Nu people.

This army of 20,000 people can be said to be a mixed compilation between the Zhou people and the Su Nu people.

One inside and one outside, two barracks, a total of 50,000 soldiers, had to eat, drink every day, and consume a huge amount of money.

Fortunately, Li Yu is good at making money. By selling sugar, he makes a fortune. Not only can he support these 50,000 soldiers, but he can also have a lot of surplus.

He didn't keep the remaining money, and most of it was spent on buying grain all over the country in case of emergency needs.

The more you participate in the war, the more you can understand the importance of logistics supply.

Whether a war can win is not only the key point of whether the generals leading the troops are excellent, and whether the soldiers fighting are brave, but also whether the logistics supply is timely and sufficient.

There are many factors that determine the success or failure of a war, and each point is crucial and negligent.

After listening to the Wanguo situation introduced by Li Yu, Ji Yanyan and Li Yuan both showed worries.

Seeing this, Li Yu comforted: "Although we want to win, it is not easy for the Xifan Army to win. What we have to compete next is the internal strength of the two countries."

"oh?"

Li Yu said: "To compare national strength and determination, we must also compare who can withstand the rising casualties."

Ji Yanyan and Li Yuan nodded with a serious expression.

Li Yu said: "If our side wins, we can save Wanguo. Xifan will not dare to expand eastward within 10 or 20 years. If our side loses, Xifan will follow the trend and annex Wanguo, and the army will advance to our country's borders, and our country's local area will also be in danger."

What he said was all analyzed by Chen Fangzhu.

Li Yuan said: "My father has been through the battlefield for a long time and has many generals under his command. I believe that in the near future, his father will be able to command the army and defeat the people of the Xifan!"

Li Yu smiled and said, "What the Sixteenth Brother said is very true."

He is also unwilling to belittle his country.

Of course I hope my father can lead his troops to win a great victory and thus lay peace in the northwest border from then on.

When they arrived near Pyeongchang City, Ji Yanyan and Li Yuan were both startled by the scale in front of them.

In my impression, Pyeongchang City is just a small border town, but the Pyeongchang City with its circle of eyes is about the same scale as a state capital.

It covers a wide area and has high walls, especially when viewed from close range, it feels even more majestic.

Ji Yanyan asked curiously: "Seventeenth brother, why did I hear that the Pyeongchang city has been destroyed by the barbarians?"

"The old city was destroyed, and the current Pyeongchang City was rebuilt on the basis of the old city."

"So fast?"

Ji Yanyan and Li Yuan were both shocked.

When they entered the city, both of them were shocked by the prosperous scene in the city.

The city of Pyeongchang, which originally had few people left, is now full of traffic and crowds.

A large part of them are businessmen from other places.

Among the merchants, there were both Zhou people, Su Nu people, Ha clothes, and Fan Hu people.

All kinds of strange costumes can be seen here, and it is like a hodgepodge.

The first one to go to Pyeongchang City to do business was basically the sugar merchants of Zhou Kingdom.

Their purpose of going to Pyeongchang County was to purchase sugar so that they could sell it all over the country.

Later, as more and more Su Nu merchants came to Pingchang City, the merchants of Hayi became a large market for fur, herbs and wood. The merchants who came from all over the Zhou Dynasty gradually became diverse.

With more merchants, the local economy naturally became active, and the people they attracted also rose sharply.

At present, the long-term population of Pyeongchang City has more than 20,000, and the number of merchants entering and leaving Pyeongchang City every day is about 10,000 or 20,000.

It can be said that the long-term population of Pyeongchang City is far from saturated.

Li Yu, Lu Fang, Zhang Hong and others estimated that the long-term population of Pingchang City would eventually grow to about 100,000.

Walking along the way in the city, Ji Yanyan and Li Yuan were both shocked by the current situation in Pyeongchang City.

When he entered Li Yu's Wu Palace and sat in the lobby, Li Yuan admired Li Yu a little more and exclaimed: "It is really unexpected that Seventeenth brother can build a small border town so prosperous!"

Li Yu asked him to serve tea, fruits and snacks.

The desserts and fruits here are also diverse.

Not only are fruits produced in the Central Plains, but many are also produced in the tropics.

Li Yu said to Ji Yanyan and Li Yuan: "Pingchang City can develop, but also the strong help of the fifteenth prince and the sixteenth brother!"

Ji Yanyan and Li Yuan were both happy.

After getting unfamiliar when they first met, Li Yuanye has become much familiar with Li Yu.

He also looked much more relaxed.

He looked around, looked at the snacks and fruits in front of him, and smiled and said, "Pingchang County is really a good place. No wonder my seventeenth brother is unwilling to return to Beijing now!"

Li Yu smiled and said, "When everything is stable in Pyeongchang City, the inside and outside of Pyeongchang County are stable, so I will naturally return to Beijing."

Ji Yanyan and Li Yuan looked at each other, and the smiles on their faces faded a little.

There are some things that Ji Yanyan, the sister-in-law, is not easy to say, but Li Yuan, the brother, can say.

Li Yuan said: "Seventeenth brother, I think it would be better if you stay in Pyeongchang County and stay away from the capital."

"oh?"

"My seventeenth brother is in Pyeongchang County, planting sugarcane and using sugarcane to make sugar, which has attracted many people's jealousy. If he returns to Beijing at this time and his father is not in the capital, I am afraid that he will cause trouble!"

Li Yu blinked his eyes and thought about it carefully. What Brother Sixteen said was not unreasonable.

He smiled bitterly and said, "I have just received a letter from my elder brother in the past two days, asking me when I can go back to Beijing to help him."

Li Yuan's eyes were lowered and he said meaningfully: "Brother has been the prince for many years and has produced many talented people around him. How could he be the only one of the seventeenth brothers?"

Ji Yanyan nodded in agreement and said, "The capital city is a big quagmire. If you are not careful, you will be deeply trapped in it. Where can you be free and easy to come from Pyeongchang County?"

As they were talking, Jinwu walked in quickly from outside.

He first intervened to Li Yu, and then bowed to Li Yuan and Ji Yanyan respectively.

Li Yu asked in confusion: "Jinwu, what's the matter?"

Jinwu walked to Li Yu and whispered: "Your Highness, Miss Sister and Miss Zhou arrived in Pyeongchang City!"
