Chapter 449: Prepare for War
Jishi City at Jishi Mountain and Jishi Lake next to Jishi City. This desolate place in the past has now changed the world. The high walls of Jishi City, which are five-pointed stars, stand tall. The lake water led from Jishi Lake slowly flows along the moat that is five meters wide. After a roundabout way, it injects into Jishi Lake. It has to be said that the craftsmen who designed this lake city river are quite talented. He cleverly created a landform of different heights during construction, making the moat a flowing living water.
There were few trees on the originally rugged and steep Jishi Mountain, all of which were hard granite. With the gradual construction of Jishi City, the stones on the mountain were decreasing day by day. A large amount of stone was taken out and neat stones were turned into houses in Jishi City. A large amount of soil produced by digging the moat was transported up the mountain, spread on the mountain, and transplanted trees of different sizes. Now, Jishi Mountain is lush, rows of stone houses appear and disappear in the forest, and avenue leads directly from Jishi City to the top of the mountain.
In the city, well-connected roads have marked the city into independent areas. In some areas, there are already many houses and construction has been completed. In most areas, countless people are still busy. The city of Jishi City is still a large construction site.
The first to complete the construction were the administrative areas and workshop areas in the city. Various military workshops transferred from Curieguan have begun to operate with all their strength. The joining of a large number of technicians from Langya County has greatly improved his production capacity. Now, in the warehouses of the workshop areas in Jishi City, various types of military weapons are piled up like mountains, but the Chief Jiang Jiaquan is still constantly urging them to speed up production.
Outside the city, large areas of fertile fields are growing just in time. The drainage system extending from the city is exposed to the ground outside the city, traveling between the fields, providing irrigation water for a large number of fields. Countless women and girls appear and disappear from crops, and without exception, they are holding a handful of grass in their hands.
Although Jishi City now has more than 100,000 people, it is still extremely poor in the construction stage. Except for the strong laborers who came back to help for a few days during spring plowing, the rest of the time. These fields are all managed by the elderly, weak, women and children. It is almost September. It is the season of harvest, and Jishi City is changing day by day, and everyone is filled with happy smiles.
There is no reason not to feel happy. Once this crop is harvested, it will survive the most difficult moment. Jishi City can start to support itself. These lands will become the eternal property of the people here, and the towering Jishi City gives them a great sense of security.
There is vitality in places where there are people. This originally desolate place is now full of chickens and dogs, which is extremely lively. In the wide moat, there are many ducks and geese floating leisurely on the water surface. On the river bank, several children are carrying long poles, saying that they are laying ducks and geese, but in fact they are chasing and fighting happily.
The soldiers in the city patrolled the guns and knives, looking at the cheerful children under the city, everyone smiled.
In Jishi City, ordinary people are filled with happiness from the inside to the outside. However, among the top leaders, the tension is getting stronger and stronger as time goes by.
Zhang Shouyou died and Zhang Junbao ascended the throne of county magistrate. The first thing he did was to give Gao Yuan a charge of being connected with Donghu. Jiang Jiaquan did not care about Zhang Junbao alone, but as Tan Feng, Chunyu Yan and others arrived in Liaoxi City, Jiang Jiaquan had to take this matter seriously.
Zhang Junbao remained safely in the position of county magistrate, which shows that the court had already acknowledged the position of this person under the current situation, which also represents Gao Yuan's crime. It has been confirmed that Zhou Yuan's army was trapped and lost all his money. Zhang Shubao, the right army, was destroyed, but the left army broke out under Gao Yuan's leadership. In the eyes of those who do not know the truth, it is not true that Gao Yuan's crime of communicating with Donghu became conclusive. Otherwise, tens of thousands of troops would suffer in this battle. Why did your team of less than 10,000 people escape back?
This is really something that can't be explained even if you have a mouth.
Huang Zhan led more than 100 cavalrymen to Jishi City under the guidance of military and judicial personnel. The information he brought shocked Jiang Jiaquan. Zhang Shubao, Huang Desheng, and Lu Hong, these three people died just like this. They did not die on the front line of the Donghu, but died at the hands of their own people. Especially when they thought of the deep feelings between Lu Hong and Gao Yuan, Jiang Jiaquan was even more worried.
As time goes by, more and more information gathered from Fufeng. Zhou Yu and Hu Yanchao broke out. More than 30,000 troops were stationed in Niulanshan camp for rest and rest. Three thousand elite troops in Tianhe County entered Liaoxi City. As these information slowly formed a line in Jiang Jiaquan's eyes, he had already smelled the smell of conspiracy.
The Jishi City incident can be hidden from the idiots like Zhang Junbao, but in the eyes of a shrewd person like Tan Feng, it is afraid it will be difficult to maintain it. Sooner or later, it will be discovered that Tan Feng has never understood it. He is Ning Zecheng's confidant, but he has not hesitated to overturn Ning Zecheng in the Jicheng Incident. If he hates evil like a grudge, why can he tolerate Zhang Junbao's evil deeds? Zhang Junbao kills his father and kills his brother, Tan Feng cannot not know, but he chose to tolerate it. Is it just to stabilize western Liaoning? It is not necessary for Zhang Junbao to stabilize western Liaoning. Gao Yuan has broken through. Without the Zhang father and son, Gao Yuan can do this with his prestige in western Liaoning.
What exactly does this person want to do?
Jiang Jiaquan had some headaches.
But this pain did not last long. When the latest information appeared on Jiang Jiaquan's desk, he had already understood it and figured it out.
Tan Feng, such a powerful figure!
Zheng Jun sent news that Zhou Yu from the Niulanshan camp led a 10,000 permanent army and a large amount of military supplies, suddenly disappeared from the Niulanshan camp. In the city of Liaoxi, Zhang Junbao led thousands of troops to drive towards Fufeng.
The purpose of these two armies being dispatched is self-evident.
Zhou Yu must have been dealing with General Gao Yuan and Gao, and Zhang Junbao must have come to Jishi City.
Tan Feng took advantage of the charges given by Zhang Junbaoan to Gao Yuan, and wanted to kill Gao Yuan, confirm that Gao Yuan was connected to Donghu, and then caused trouble to Langya, completely pulled Ye Tiannan and took Langya back to the jurisdiction of the court. Now, it is believed that Liaoxi is also under his control. Zhang Junbao was just a name. This person's plan was to connect Liaoxi, Langya, and Tianhe into a piece. In addition, Ning Zecheng's fiefdom, Fenzhou, did not expect that Tan Feng was actually a loyal believer of his senior brother Li Ru. What he wanted to imitate was the county system of Qin and take back the fiefs of major nobles one by one to the jurisdiction of the court.
amazing!
Jiang Jiaquan praised Tan Feng in his heart. This person is not very old, only in his early thirties, and he has such a cunning and such a plan. He is really a hero.
After thinking through all this, Jiang Jiaquan stopped thinking that Zhou Yu would definitely suffer a great loss when he attacked General Gao Yuan. He only knew that General Gao had lost more than half of the 7,000 troops when he set off, but he did not know that the infantry had led his troops to respond. He was wrongly aware that the opponent's troops were incorrect. With General Gao Yuan's ability, waiting for Zhou Yu would inevitably be a painful failure. However, he was extremely dangerous here!
Now, in Jishi City, except for Ye Zhen’s 1,000 troops, there are only those new recruits in the New Soldiers camp. There are many young and strong people, but when they really fight, they are not helpful.
The three thousand people who came to attack Jishi City must be the three thousand people from Tianhe County. Zhang Junbao might even piece together thousands of people to make up the numbers. Even so, it was not something that Jishi City's current power could resist.
"Come here, I will send my order to summon Tang Ming and Wang Yi to lead their troops back to defense."
"Order Bai Yucheng to lead his troops to return to Jishi City immediately and abandon the peripheral blockade."
One by one, the orders were issued from the Changshifang and Jishi City began to prepare for the war.
Three days later, 500 cavalrymen from Bai Yucheng returned to Jishi City. Ten days later, Tang Ming and Wang Yi led 1,000 troops back to Jishi City. When the two set off from Jishi City, they had only one battalion of troops of 500. They were stationed in Baokang and Yingkou for nearly half a year, and had expanded to 1,000 people.
Jishi City now has 3,000 infantry and 500 cavalry. Jiang Jiaquan is in great peace. These troops may not be able to fight in the field when they go out of the city, but there is no problem in defending Jishi City. As long as General Gao defeats Zhou Yu and returns to Jishi City, everything will improve.
What's more, Da Yan's strength is now greatly damaged. Two years ago, Zhao State, who was beaten by Da Yan, would not come to pick up this ready-made cheap truth? Thinking of Feng Fayong's vague remarks a few days ago, Jiang Jiaquan couldn't help laughing.
Zhao Wuji finally re-appointed Zhao Mu and appointed Zhao Mu as the Grand Marshal of Zhao. I believe that now, Zhao Mu's eyes have turned to the direction of Yan.
Two years ago, Gao Yuan seized the four cities that Gao Yuan had for Da Yan and the land extorted from Zhao State were no longer protected.
As soon as Zhao Mu took action, Tan Feng, who wanted to deal with General Gao, would inevitably stop and seek peace. Zhou Yu's tens of thousands of troops in Niulan Mountain might have to travel to Yuyang again.
After the crisis was over, General Gao was about to show his great fortune. Jiang Jiaquan smiled. Hejian and western Liaoning took these two counties and General Gao was on this continent and he had the capital of speech.
