When Pan Geng moved to Yin, I initiated Jian Shang

Day three.

In the old village of Wu Zhong clan in Zunhua, Xin Qu and his men were urging a group of slaves to work.

During this period, he suppressed the rebellion of the nomadic part of the Guzhu clan, forced the migrant population to move to the old village of the Wuzhong clan, expanded the area, and officially listed it as Zunhua Town.

The geographical location here is good, and it will not be affected too much by the erosion of the Luanshui River. There is also a small river ditch and mountain road leading north. It takes three days to walk northeast to reach Xifengkou.

As for why it is not Qianxi Luozhai, it is because Qianxi has not yet emerged. It is either a mountain or a beach, and there is no room for development at all.

If the village could be settled here, would the Wu Zhong clan come to Zunhua and settle the village instead of moving to the west?

Therefore, Xinqu is now focusing on building Zunhua City, and then settling some fishing and hunting tribes in the west. Among the tribes of the Guzhu clan from the northeast, not all tribes have the surname Zi, and some are tribes that have lived in the northeast for a long time.

For example, Su Shen is a sideline.

These people cannot stay in the heart of the lower reaches of the Luan River, and the water and land environment near Qianxi is suitable for their production and life.

It can also serve as an early warning to a certain extent.

For example, while Xinqu was busy, two tribes guarding Qianxi sent news of the arrival of Shu Yan and Wu Zhongmi.

Xinqu quickly asked someone to pick them back.

The next day, the group arrived at Zunhua.

Looking at the old village that has changed beyond recognition, the memories of my childhood suddenly come back to me, but more importantly, I feel that things have changed and people have changed.

When they got outside the city, they saw Xin Qu commanding.

"The clan leader is here." Shu Yan quickly shouted to Xin Qu.

Xinqu put down the picture scroll in his hand, turned around and saw Wu Zhongmi with a shabby beard: "Haha, brother, I knew you would come back safely."

Wu Zhongmi smiled and said, "Hey, if you hadn't helped me, I would have been trapped in the mountains for a while now!"

"No matter where they are, they are all my brothers." Xin Qu smiled and patted his shoulder, "Okay, there is nothing better than coming back. I will have people prepare a banquet to give you a cleansing and a good rest. If anything happens, I will do it later. Say it again."

Wu Zhongmi's eyes flickered, seeing that Xin Qu was still as enthusiastic as ever, he didn't know what to say.

But after taking a closer look at Xin's arrangements in Zunhua County and Qianxi Camp, he knew that Xin Qu was not a person who really had no thoughts about Yanshan.

Otherwise, why would he keep blocking mountain passes and river mouths?
Do you really think he is a good man and a believer?
After Wu Zhongmi went to rest, Xinqu asked Shu Yan alone about the situation in the north, and Shu Yan told him the truth. Xin Qu rubbed his chin and pondered for a moment: "So, the mountains are in chaos because of the remnants of the Guzhu clan? "

"It's roughly like this, but... Patriarch, why did we build an earth wall over there?"

Xinqu looked north, which was roughly where Luowen Valley would be in later generations. Xinqu had already started sending people to pound the soil here.

Yes, he wants to build the Great Wall and block as many gaps as possible on the Zunhua side.

Not only Zunhua, but also the famous Yanshan Pass in the southeast of Yingyang County, he also arranged for more than 1000 people to set up a stronghold there.

Of course, the Great Wall is only on the surface. The progress of this project will take more than 100 years. Now we will build a wall to directly block the Luowen Valley, and then focus on Zunhua.

Zunhua must be blocked. After all, since this place has been decided to be the land entry and exit point of the Luanhe River Basin, it is the most important node to the east of the Xin family. After Zunhua is blocked, a large amount of troops can be saved, and a military garrison can be built here. Used for garrisoning camps.

That is, the farming system.

Therefore, at this stage, Xinqu only blocks Luowen Valley and Yanshan Pass. As for the west, there happens to be a swamp. Later, Yingyang County can deepen the swamp here and become a natural moat in the west of Yanshan Pass.Xin Qu calculated this, and it would take at most five years to block these two mountain passes. In this way, Zunhua would become an isolated village.

After all, it is a military group that mainly focuses on farming. Before it has absolute strength, it can only focus on defending the grasslands, fishing and hunting forces north of Yanshan Mountain.

Xinxing Xinqu had an advantage over people of this era, that is, he knew the general direction of the Yanshan Great Wall, especially the Great Wall in the Ming Dynasty. Anyway, now there are thick forests and nature has given shelter, so just block the mountain pass.

Come little by little, don't rush.

Shu Yan understood what Xin Qu was doing, frowned slightly and said: "Clan leader, it's not me, but the way you do things sometimes is quite... a waste of manpower and time. Just build a small town, why do you have to go around it? Zunhua made so many."

"It's very simple. You can think of Zunhua as an urn city. The enemy comes out from Luanshui Road. If you don't capture Zunhua, then we can send troops to the west in Zunhua and cut off your retreat, leaving you without food supplies. Retreat to the safe space of the prairie.

If you want to attack Zunhua, even if you attack, there will still be a large number of blocked mountain passes and waterways around you. We can surround you from several other directions. You can either stick to Zunhua and Qianxi and fight slowly and slowly with me.

Either I surround you with three in one, and you can hold it for a while, but not for a lifetime. After all, I have troops coming in from three directions, and you only have troops coming from one direction. In this way, once I have troops coming from any of the three directions, If we attack from one direction, you must mobilize all your troops to come to Zunhua and fight with me heartily.

In this way, if my troops from three directions come in together, you will either have to retreat in vain, or you will have to be surrounded and annihilated in Zunhua. Moreover, Zunhua has a city at its heart. In the future, it can have a population of several thousand and hoard it for a year and a half. The grain contained in Zunhua is in Zunhua. If you don't capture Zunhua at the first time, you still have to worry about being deflowered by the center. "

Xinqu took a map and pointed out the terrain of Zunhua and the surrounding mountain passes and rivers to Shu Yan. It was exactly as Xinqu said. As long as the areas around Zunhua are connected, it will be a large urn city. If you dare to come, You are the turtle.

Unless you have super powers and can fly across the mountains, if you are trapped in Zunhua, you have to either retreat or fight to the death. There is no other way.

Even if you take the trail in the direction of Lulong, the first pass is the Luanhe Waterway, and the second pass is Yongping County.

In these two places, if the Great Wall is repaired in Zunhua, you can go directly over the mountains to Qianxi, and then go directly down the river from Qianxi to cut off your Lulong supplies.

If you are lucky enough to break through the Luanhe waterway, then Zunhua can also send troops to join forces from the waterways to the north and east of you, and cooperate with the soldiers and horses of Yongping County. In this era where saddles, stirrups, and horseshoes have not yet been ordered, Do you want to come and go like the wind?
Ask the swamps in the Haihe River Basin if they will agree!

And even if you really capture Yongping and Zunhua, there will still be Chaobai River and river swamps blocking you from continuing eastward.

Even if you cross the Chaobai River, Xinqu, Huairou County, and Changping County, it is really impossible to retreat westward through Juyong Pass and enter Yanqing.

Who can’t consume?

This is why Beiping was set to the west of the Chaobai River, because the east side is full of mountain passes and battlefields, and the Chaobai River begins to scatter in Beiping, with a dense river network and many lakes.

The entrance to the sea is still in Tianjin.

Tianjin only needs to be built south of the river, so that it is equivalent to having another fortress with the ability to connect water and land.

It is easy to mobilize all the resources in the Haihe River Basin and distribute them in Tianjin. If necessary, you can land directly in Yongping from the sea and drop a certain amount of harassing troops to attack your rear.

Therefore, it is basically difficult for the development of any place to be separated from the influence of nature.

For example, Zunhua will become a major military town because it is a "small basin" surrounded by mountains, with mountains, rivers, and fertile soil. As long as floods and droughts follow, it can even be used as a node to enter the mountains in the future, alleviating hardships. The logistical pressure of his future journey north to Yanshan.

"That's... okay." What Shu Yan actually wanted to say was that farming should be given priority at this time, rather than building cities.

Xinqu could also see what he was thinking and said with a smile: "Don't worry, when I put down the chaos this time, I took care of some local Mo tribes and captured more than 5000 people and demoted them as slaves. They have been distributed now. In the clan, your family is also divided into three, two boys and one girl."

"That's what the patriarch said." Shu Yan laughed. As long as the rear is stable, it is more important than anything else.

After the boy left, Xinqu looked at the map for a while: "There are still not enough slaves. Let's open a market to trade? Or just send troops to plunder?" (End of Chapter)
