A few days later, at night, a total of 200,000 troops of the Chinese Army gathered ten miles away from the north gate of Shicheng to camp in Xiazhai.

There were four people in the tent, Qing Cang, Zhao Zilong, Zhang Liao and Guo Jia. Cao Chen originally wanted to come together, but was left in Jinyang by Qing Cang. Sometimes defending the city is much more important than siegeing the city, and the responsibility is heavier. Cao Chen could not resist it, and the military orders were as high as a mountain, so he had to obey his orders.

Several people arranged tactics in the tent, and a sand table from the stone city was placed in the middle.

Guo Jia said: "According to information, the population of Lishi City is less than 100,000, and 30,000 Black Mountain troops are stationed. This time, Zhang Yan returned, injecting a large amount of military power into Lishi City, and their number will reach 180,000. This battle is probably not easy to fight."

"Staff General Guo is right, but since my Chinese Army has come here, there is no reason to return empty-handed. I ask me to lead the troops to fight the vanguard tomorrow."

Zhao Zilong volunteered and said that Zhang Liao was not willing to be outdone.

He said, "I can also be a pioneer and go to the front line to attack the enemy."

The three of them turned their eyes to Qing Cang, and he said, "I understand your feelings. No matter how difficult it is, Lishi City must be defeated. Never leave the wind and say that we are here for Xun Yu, otherwise his situation will inevitably be dangerous."

Guo Jia responded: "Commander, please rest assured. We have done a good job of keeping confidentiality. No one except the four of us know."

"That's great. I've already figured out how to attack Lishi City. This time we brought five hundred catapults, one hundred rushing cars, and five thousand crossbows. As tomorrow dawn, we will attack the North Gate. The catapults will be the vanguard first, and then all of them will be the rushing cars, and finally the crossbows will be finalized. Commander Zhao and Commander Zhang, you two are on standby at any time. You must be defeated by Lishi City!"

Lishicheng does not have a moat, and their city is not as strong as Huaxia City. In addition, during this period, Lishicheng fought with the Qiang and Hu people, and the durability of the entire city is naturally not high. I believe that without much time, the city gate will be broken. This break will be the time of victory.

The two commanders should "Yes!"

At this moment, the intelligence officer said to the outsider: "Commander, there is news that he came from Huaxia City."

“Come in.”

"yes!"

Intelligence personnel present the telegram. Now telegram is used as a tool for their communication. These people are very skillful and efficient. The earlier the intelligence is conveyed, the higher the value. Qing Cang adheres to this point, so that everyone can deeply study the telegram sending process and achieve current achievements.

He received a telegram and looked at it for a while.

Guo Jia asked directly:

"Commander, what's wrong with Huaxia City?"

Qing Cang looked at the paper with a hundred words written, and he said, "There are several main things. Some time ago, we won the victory with 300,000 people against the 70th external alliance army, and made the entire Huaxia City famous. Some people in the north rushed to the city and wanted to join the Huaxia Army. The current commander asked for instructions on how to deal with the problem."

Dianwei has no experience in governing the city. Anyway, the telegram is so simple. Just ask and there will be a reply soon.

When Guo Jia heard this, he immediately said excitedly: "That's a big deal for our Huaxia City! When the number of people reaches one million, we will be able to control most of the Central Plains."

Like this time, Jinyang was lost due to insufficient number of defenders, and the Chinese Army also lost two deputy brigade commanders.

"Yes, that's it. Once the train leaves, my territory will expand again until the whole world is unified!"

Guo Jia asked: "The whole world? What is that?"

"The entire land is not only our territory, and the entire Han Dynasty's territory is not as good as a part of the world."

Qing Cang knew that Guo Jia would definitely not understand this explanation, so he said, "I will tell you all the knowledge in the future."

Guo Jia no longer asked. In their hearts, there was only the concept of a perfect sky and a place. As for how big the world is, the distance between the footprints is the long-term vision. Everything that cannot be reached is unknown.

Zhao Zilong asked the key question about the train.

"What is the train the commander mentioned?"

"You can understand it as a high-speed moving box. One box is tenth of its size and can hold hundreds of people. Their speed can send people from Huaxia City to Jinyang City within an hour."

This scared the three of them. They had never asked about the steam train. Now, after hearing Qing Cang's explanation, they understood that Qing Cang was doing something big.

"If there is a train, then when we encounter an enemy attacking Jinyang, we can support them in one hour! In this way, even if our army is less than one million, we can take care of the surrounding cities and our tentacles can extend further! This is a big project!"

Zhang Liao also looked a little excited, and he said, "I'm looking forward to the day when the train is caused by this commander!"

Guo Jia asked again: "Building such a moving box must be time-consuming and laborious, right?"

He thought a lot, so he asked this question.

"Yes, the improvement of research and manufacturing processes takes a long time, and can only be studied through continuous experiments. This research is not completed yet, and it also takes time to build the train road. These projects are calculated over the years."

Even though he said this, everyone was still full of confidence. Zhang Liao said: "With the commander here, these things can be solved soon!"

Guo Jia asked, "What's the second thing?"

"The second thing is interesting. Emperor Ling of Han was still in the mood to build a palace at this time, and is now asking for wood and stone from each county. I have an idea."

"The commander wants to intercept these things?"

"Yes, even so, our Huaxia City will start to expand, and we need these building materials very much. Did the Han Emperor clearly send us materials? Not long after Dong Zhuo and Huangfu Song were defeated, the chances of their return were very small. I will make a big profit while they were resting."

The three said, "What the commander said is very true."

He did it right away, Qing Cang said straight: "Come here, send a telegram to Huaxia City. There are two main points. First, review the people who come here for fame. Only those who have reviewed can join the army. The strong people directly approve him at the regiment level. We must recruit soldiers! Second, let the Commander Dian pay attention to the official roads of the nearby cities. Once you find someone transporting wood and stone, you will detain them and send them back to Huaxia City for construction. It should be noted that it is limited to 300 miles. It cannot exceed 300 miles, for fear that if there is a problem with Huaxia City, it will be difficult to return to defense!"

"yes!"

When the intelligence personnel retreated, he said, "I'll be here today, the whole army will have a good rest. It will be dawn tomorrow, but we will take the beginning of Lishi City."

"yes!"

Everyone retreated and just waited for tomorrow morning.
Chapter completed!
