Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 354 Songning Defense Line
Wu Anguo smiled wryly and said: "It's not because of me. There are really few people here, and the city can't be built in winter. I'm afraid it will be too late in five years. If tens of thousands of people die to build the city and lose the hearts of the people, it's better not to build it."

Wu Gang's eyes widened. Dad really dared to say that he only winked at his father.Zhou Cang saw it in his eyes and said: "Wu Gang, this is the gap between you and your father. If you are determined to accept the order, it will be like raiding Xiangping. This is because you have not grasped the essence. The raid on Xiangping is for Occupying Xiangping has not changed the essence. But the city was built to guard the gate. Although the city has a gate, the family is in chaos, and even loses all the hearts of the people in Liaodong. How is it different from the Tyrant Qin? What is the use of a strong city ? Wouldn’t that mean building a city for the sake of building a city?”

"What General Wu said is true. I thought it would be enough to move [-] refugees who originally moved to Jinzhou, but it seems that it is not enough. I will transfer another [-] immigrants from Lushun in southern Liaoning to Jinzhou." How many people died when Qin Shihuang built the Great Wall , The sky is angry and the people are complaining. Although the workload of building a city cannot be compared with it, it must not be underestimated.

At this time, Wang Dahui was no longer the little craftsman he was in the past, he had thousands of people under his command, and the generals of each battalion tried their best to recruit people from him.He said with a mournful face, "Master, another 2 people are not enough, [-] people come, and the most young and strong are [-]..."

"The [-] yuan came to build the city. Women, old and weak, can wash and cook. Don't be short of food for them. If they have food, they will work with peace of mind. In addition, tell them that after the city is built, each household will give them ten mu more Land, tax-free for three years. If you can’t start work in winter, then build a factory tent and let them polish the stones, make pulleys, potter’s wheels, and ropes, even if you take them home to do the work, just turn in the work on time. In short, you can’t be idle.”

Wu Anguo sighed and said: "My lord loves the people, I thank the lord on behalf of the people, the people's hearts are useful. It's just..."

Zhou Cang waved his hand. He now regrets that he should not have given Guan Hai the order to do whatever he wants. It would be great if those people could be captured and treated as slaves. Unfortunately, there is no such thing as the best of both worlds. Be fast, precise and ruthless, and it is impossible to drag the captives down. "I know the general is worried. There is still no shortage of livestock in Liaodong. Just use them. Even if you are exhausted, it will be used to improve the food for the craftsmen. It's only for this time, and it must not be like this in the future."

"My lord, the construction is going fast now because there are ready-made stones brought from Xiangping. Once the stones are used up, we need to quarry, polish, and build the city again, which will definitely delay the construction period." Wang Dahammer looked sad.He has mobilized as many people as possible, and some people built the city wall. The inner and outer layers are all made of stones, and the middle is rammed with soil dug out from the moat. Only one city wall is three feet thick.How many stones would be used to build a city wall six lengths high.

"I will ask Zhang Jiong to find a way to get some of the stones that are lacking in building the city from Xiangping, and also transport some of the stones from Donglai to Yingkou by water, so they can be used as ballast stones." In order to build the city, Zhou Cang said He intends to spend a lot of money, even crossing the sea, as much as he can solve.Zhou Cang turned his head and said to Sun Da: "You return to Xiangping urgently, tell Zhang Jiong about this, and ask him to follow General Wu's request, and then you go directly south to Lushun to join me."

"My lord, this idea is very good. With such a sharing, the pressure on Jinzhou will drop sharply, and the three cities will be built for up to five years. How can the return ship be ballasted?"

"The general doesn't know something. I have ordered Liu Li to search for iron ore and coal, so we can transport it back to Xuzhou. It just takes a few more boat trips, and it doesn't take up much manpower. Hahaha." Zhou Cang said with ease, and also in his heart It hurts.

"I just heard from my lord that I have another suitable place." Wu Anguo pointed to the south of Jinzhou with a big hand. "My lord, please see that this place is near the sea, and there are many islands nearby, so there must be a good harbor. If a water village can be built, and the materials and grain for the city can be stored on the island, then the city can be built."

"What's the name of this place?"

"So it looks like a gourd, and the locals call it Huludao."

After finishing speaking, I patted my head, alas, why did I only think of the Battle of Jinzhou, but not the Battle of Songning in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.No, we must build a Songning line of defense!Nurhachi's place of hatred is also Hong Chengchou's sad place!

"Very good. Fortunately, General Wu reminded me that I almost forgot that there is such an important point. There is no need to build an acropolis. Just build a city here in the southwest of Huludao, name it Ningyuan, and place it under Jinzhou County. I will send someone to send a letter to Xingba He's coming to check it out."

"My lord, I haven't had time to say in the future, Songshan is okay to say, is this Ningyuan too close to Wuhuan, it is not suitable for building a city." Wu Anguo said anxiously.

Hearing this, Zhou Cang couldn't help frowning, in case Wuhuan came to attack, it would be difficult to defend against it with the Riri Battalion alone, and it would be difficult to guarantee safety even if Liang Guang went south. "For the time being, the city will be built in Ningyuan. Anyway, Jinzhou must be built first, so Xingba can build a water village to stockpile supplies. After Jinzhou is built, Ningyuan will be built. It would be best when Cao Cao and Yuan Shao go to war and take Wu Huan's attention was also drawn to the south, which made it easier for us to do things. At that time, Liaodong was stable, and I asked Pei Yuanshao and Liu Zhi to lead the two battalions of Xianfeng and Tuojiang to guard, even if Wuhuan was reluctant, there was nothing he could do."

The dialogue between Zhou Cang and Wu Anguo made Wu Gang and Duan Muling listen like drinking nectar, this is the real strategy.The direct confrontation between the two armies fell to the bottom, because at that time, no matter how you attack or defend, it seemed that it was all in the opponent's calculations. The ancient wizards in the world.The so-called soldiers who surrender without fighting refer to the fact that all kinds of preparations have been made before the battle to completely restrain the opponent.

"My lord, why don't you go south and break Wuhuan first?" Duanmuling asked.

Zhou Cang didn't answer, he looked at Wu Anguo and then at Wu Gang.Wu Gang coughed lightly: "It's not that we can't break Wuhuan, but we can't. Wuhuan is on good terms with Yuan Shao. If we send troops, Yuan Shao will think that we intend to go south. If the two families fight, Liaodong will be in danger."

Zhou Cang and Wu Anguo nodded, Wu Gang's overall view is better. "That's the reason. When we build a city here, what's going on between Wuhuan and Yuan Xi of Youzhou?"

"Wuhuan sent scouts to my place several times to investigate, and saw that I had no intention of invading Youzhou, leaving only a few thousand people patrolling far from the border, never crossing the border. There has been no movement from Yuan Xi."

"That's very good. I order our soldiers not to cross the boundary, and don't conflict with him. If he crosses the boundary, first warn and then fight back. Ask Su Yang to prepare some better leathers, medicinal materials, etc. to send to Yuan Xi." Go, being a neighbor is like being a neighbor, we still have business to do with Yuan Xi in the future, let's make a fortune together."
