Doomsday Commander.

Chapter 182 The beginning of the territorial dispute

The news that Zhuguang City started to set up checkpoints in the surrounding area was spread to thousands of households through television.

The people in Zhuguang City were naturally rejoicing, because it was said on TV that when the safety zone is established, ordinary residents can also walk out of the city gate and go to the wild.

Now the wild is the world of adventurers and mercenaries, the regular troops are busy attacking the county towns, and those small towns and villages are all their world.

As for ordinary residents, it is very difficult to find or collect some supplies.

Besides, although the city is good, people can't always stay in one place, going out is inevitable.

So the people in Zhuguang City are very happy, but the others are not so happy.

In Jinghe County, Liu Yibang also saw the news.

Now that Li Wuyou has returned to the Yuanjing Palace, he is still in charge of all affairs here.

When Li Wuyou was about to leave, he also ordered Liu Yibang to establish a good relationship with Tang Zheng, and strive to draw him into the empire's camp as soon as possible.

Liu Yibang originally wanted to find someone to inform Tang Zheng that if he was willing to join the empire, he could consider giving him the title of Viscount.

But seeing this news, Liu Yibang didn't think so anymore.

This Tang Zheng has great ambitions, it can be seen from the fact that he started enclosing the land, he is not content to settle down in a corner of Zhuguang City.

And these few days he has also learned about the situation in Zhuguang City, if he were Tang Zheng, the Earl would not want it, let alone the Viscount.

He planned to use the Viscount to win over Tang Zheng, but deep down he didn't want the other party to be in a high position.

Although Tang Zheng ruined his own good deed unintentionally, it also made Liu Yibang instinctively dislike it.

Moreover, he also learned about Tang Zheng's situation in the past few days, and he didn't expect that what he thought to be an old man or a middle-aged man turned out to be a handsome young man.

Knowing about Tang Zheng's family history, Liu Yibang felt more and more that this guy was a talent, no, a genius.

An ambitious genius, a born hero.

After he reported the news about Zhuguang City and Tang Zheng to Li Wuyou in Yuanjing, the other party asked him to contact Tang Zheng as soon as possible. If possible, she planned to go to Zhuguang City before the Spring Festival.

Liu Yibang still clearly remembered that Li Wuyou didn't say that before.

What she said was, if possible, let Tang Zheng come to see her.

How did it become that she was going to Zhuguang City now?
At that time, if Tang Zheng really took refuge in the princess and became a member of the empire, I am afraid that at least the marquis would start, and the duke is not impossible at all.

Thinking about Tang Zheng and Li Wuyou's appearance and age, Liu Yibang didn't send anyone to Zhuguang City.

But he also learned one thing, Tang Zheng is still single, surrounded by countless beauties, and still doesn't have any female companions in the true sense.

It is too difficult to be able to do this in the last days, and he, Liu Yibang, is still single, because he has a higher pursuit.

Li Wuyou, the princess of the empire, he must marry. Compared with Wanli Jiangshan, he would rather endure his own desires and achieve this bright spot.

But why did Tang Zheng do this?

What does he want to do?
Although there was no sign that Tang Zheng had the same ambitions as himself, the man's intuition still made Liu Yibang wary.

In an area, one shining star is enough, so now the plan to recruit Tang Zheng can be announced to stop.

However, Liu Yibang didn't intend to do nothing. As the commander of an army group and the lord of a big city, Liu Yibang had a very keen eye.

He could see that Tang Zheng wanted to expand, but the Northern Region had some natural disadvantages.

To the north, the farthest you can go is the edge of the Tongtian River. Crossing the river is the boundary of Daliao, and it cannot be expanded.

The northeast is the Guyun Mountain area, which cannot be expanded.

To the east is Hezhou. Hezhou has two big rivers passing through the city, and the main bridges are all in the urban area, which serve as a natural barrier to block the direct contact between its own Jing River and Zhuguang City.

So Tang Zheng couldn't expand to this side, even if he thought about it, he couldn't get over it, so he could only send troops to gnaw at the tough bone of Hezhou.

To the west is the endless desert of Mobei Province, thinking that Tang Zheng will definitely not go there for the time being, there is no practical significance.

So if Tang Zheng wanted to expand big enough, he had only one choice, and that was to go south.

Fengcheng and Qinzhou, these two populous cities, have unlimited resources and possibilities.

Liu Yibang thought for a long time and made a decision.

Since he didn't want Tang Zheng to expand, he had to suppress him.

With Her Royal Highness paying attention to this matter, it is definitely not possible to suppress it directly, so he will suppress Tang Zheng's future development space, so that he cannot form a large scale in a short period of time.

At least until he opened up Hezhou, Tang Zheng absolutely couldn't continue to grow and develop, so let him roam around in the Northern Territory.

If you want to go south, it is absolutely impossible.

After opening up Hezhou, his influence directly expanded to the Northern Territory, and Tang Zheng could announce his get out of class dismissal.

The strategy of Qinzhou and Fengcheng, which has been in progress, can start ahead of schedule.

After seeing the effectiveness of this kind of enclosure, Tang Zheng felt as if he had been beaten to death.

This shows that in his current occupied area, the surrounding forces have no objection.

This is also very normal. After all, there is no force in the Northern Territory that can compete with Tang Zheng, and he has not violated the interests of other survival bases. Of course, no one will rush to object.

Perhaps the empire will object, but the Fifth Army is currently [-] kilometers away in the Jinghe River, separated by the unavoidable natural barrier of Hezhou. Before taking Hezhou, the empire will not be able to interfere with itself action.

Although the area of ​​50 square kilometers is very large, but if you circle it piece by piece, there will be enough time to circle it.

In the next few days, Tang Zheng continued to carry out this enclosure movement.

Thirty checkpoints in a row were established by Tang Zheng, and the number of people in the city guard battalion continued to increase.

There are sixteen people at a checkpoint, and thirty is 480 people, which is almost two companies.

There are other bases, which were also stationed by Tang Zheng's troops of the City Guard Battalion.

Among the twelve bases, the university city base still has a population of nearly [-], and the rest of the bases are between [-] and [-].

In the university city base, Tang Zheng stationed a full company, and the rest of the bases were all platoons.

As for some of the original troops in these bases, they were all dismissed by Tang Zheng on the spot.

Some of the demobilized people petitioned the local interior department, hoping to meet the general and let them continue to serve as soldiers.

Tang Zheng didn't do anything wrong either, he dispatched political officers and security officers to each base, and then selected some dismissed personnel, but the security officers at that time.

The Minister of Internal Affairs, Director of the Public Security Department, and some of the main officials below in each base are all people from Tang Zheng's system, and it doesn't matter if the positions of ordinary office staff are handed over to survivors.

With the continuous establishment of various checkpoints, Tang Zheng's road system in the northern region has become more and more perfect.

To bypass the checkpoint, it became more and more difficult to take the path, and Tang Zheng's control area became wider and wider.

Nearly a week passed, and Tang Zheng finally completed the construction of the surrounding areas of Chasing Light City and the checkpoints around the Twelve Bases.

By this time, the territory controlled by Tang Zheng in the system had already reached 12 square kilometers!
Tang Zheng controlled nearly half of the three-way zone in the Northern Territory, and the rest were places where other survival bases existed.

But Tang Zheng also calculated, even if this area is completely included in the control range, it is still not enough for 50 square kilometers, so he still has to go outside if he wants to complete the task.

Going north is one direction, Tang Zheng can even push the scope of his territory to Beifengdu on the bank of Tongtian River.

However, some county towns in Lumbardy City are in this area, which is not considered a safe area.

The scope of Tang Zheng's territory determined by the system not only needs to be recognized by other forces, but also must not have a large number of zombies. Human beings cannot move safely in this area, so it is still a territory.

After taking down the two counties of Qingquan and Shuanglin, the territory may be expanded by tens of thousands of square kilometers, but it will be difficult to expand, because the space is so large.

For the past few days, Tang Zheng has been thinking about this matter, if he goes to the north, he cannot expand if he does not take down Lunba, and to the northeast is Guyun Mountain, and he cannot expand.

Xiangdong has entered the boundary of Hezhou, Tang Zheng doesn't want to contact the empire too soon.

To the west is Mobei Province. The desert is relatively easy to control, but the deserted place is useless for the time being.

Do you want to go south, towards Fengcheng?

Fengcheng is a bigger city than Lumbah and Hezhou, and there are more survivors in the surrounding area. Tang Zheng just passed through Fengcheng and came here, but he is not very clear about the specific situation of Fengcheng, after all There is still a distance of about [-] kilometers between the two.

Moreover, the apocalypse has been going on for so long, everyone's sphere of influence has been fixed, and entering the sphere of influence of other survival bases rashly will easily lead to war.

If it was the first two months, Tang Zheng didn't care about this kind of thing, but the situation is different now, the empire has even resumed the operation of the TV station, and everyone has a certain degree of restraint in their actions.

Although the empire is no longer as binding as it was before the end of the world, after all, we still have to be careful and try not to be criticized by others.

The empire has been established for hundreds of years, and it has been deeply rooted in the land of Hanyue and has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Even now in the city of Zhuguang, many people still want the empire. It is too risky to directly confront the empire. Tang Zheng had to consider these issues.

Just when Tang Zheng was thinking about these issues, a piece of news from Jinghe caught his attention.

On the evening of November [-]th, Jinghe news broadcast a shocking piece of content.

"I have good news for everyone."

"Under the unremitting efforts of the Duke of the Empire and the commander of the Fifth Army, Mr. Liu Yibang, the Qinzhou Survivors Alliance accepted the Empire's offer."

"After Duke Liu Yibang's request and His Royal Highness Princess Li Wuyou's approval, Liao Yucheng, the leader of the Qinzhou Survivor Alliance, was appointed as the division commander of the Independent First Division of the Fifth Army and conferred the title of Marquis of the Empire."

"The ministries of the Qinzhou Survivors Alliance have been integrated into the First Independent Division of the Group Army, with a current troop size of 5."

"In addition, the military headquarters of the group army is in contact with several major survival bases in Fengcheng, striving to bring Fengcheng back to the embrace of the empire as soon as possible."

"I hope that the survival bases in various places can take the initiative to move closer to the group army after seeing the news, and strive to establish an organized and orderly sphere of influence in the north-central and central-western regions of the empire as soon as possible, and jointly fight against the greatest enemy of our mankind, the zombies. Restore the glory of the Empire."
