After several years of development, the road between Heluo and Tongguan became smoother and smoother, and it didn't take long for Shen Zhezi to arrive at Tongguan.

Tongguan is located on the top of the plateau, although the terrain is peculiar, but the soil is also very fertile. In the past few years, in addition to the construction of Tongguan Pass, the reclamation development of the top of the hill has also been quite large-scale, especially accommodating a large number of displaced people from Guanxi, mainly placed on the land behind Tongguan, and has formed several reclamation areas with a capacity of more than 10,000 people.

When Shen Zhezi led the army to the top of the plateau, what he saw was no longer a barren jungle, but patches of newly cultivated fertile fields one after another, and on the other side was the Yellow River, which had become peaceful when the water level dropped in winter.

The people of this era naturally lack the idea of maintaining water and soil and sustainable development, and the reclamation officials who came to greet them enthusiastically told the general about the achievements of the reclamation in the past few years, and they did not realize that the general's face had become a little strange.

"It seems that environmental protection and afforestation should be put on the agenda."

Looking at the bare roof, Shen Zhezi sighed in his heart. In such a medieval era, no matter how hard he works, the damage to the environment cannot exceed the self-replenishment of the natural environment.

However, the ecological environment of the Yellow River, a large water vein, has its fragile side, not to mention the big proposition of soil erosion, as for the Sui and Tang dynasties alone, because the water level of the Yellow River was cut down, Tongguan Pass was changed its location several times. The rapid recovery of productivity also puts too much load on the regional environment in a short period of time.

In fact, in the past few years, such problems have gradually been exposed in the area under the rule of Xingtai, especially the smelting base like Luojian has made the surrounding mountains gradually barren.

In the case of the lack of universal vitality, the idea of concentrating manpower and material resources to focus on the development of areas is not wrong, but in the past few years, although Shen Zhezi's main business has not been such a trivial development as cultivating mulberry, it has also given a great boost to productivity, and there has indeed been overdevelopment in some places, which has a certain disconnect with the whole.

In the final analysis, it is still insufficient to control the overall situation, since it is necessary to ensure the leading edge of technology, then regional blockade is an inevitable means, some places are overdeveloped, some places are completely abandoned, and resources can not achieve an optimal allocation. As the territory of Xingtai's rule became more and more extensive, this phenomenon became more and more prominent.

"After the war in Guanzhong is over, a broader adjustment should be made."

While thinking about it, Shen Zhezi instructed the accompanying officials to write down a plan to plan a cultivation plan for an accelerated forest garden and deliver it to Xingtai for perfect implementation. There is no shortage of talents in agronomy in the engineering academy, and technical problems can be solved by them.

The current focus is naturally on the military, and when Shen Zhezi arrived at Tongguan Guancheng, the front-line generals had already lined up outside the pass to greet him.

Now that the season has entered winter, this year's combat mission is aimed at completing the first stage of the strategic goal is to take Hongnong, so there is no need to completely invest the strategic resources of Xingtai.

At present, there are only a few people at the front line of Tongguan, including Yu Manzhi, the general of Tongguan, Li Bing, the chief general of the Hongwu Army, who arrived in advance, and Xiao Yuandong, the commander of the Fenwu Army, who came from the general all the way. As for Xie Yi, who returned to Luoyang to recuperate, and Guo Yu, who was transferred from Xingyang to Luoyang, they are still reorganizing the army and preparing to fight in the spring of next year.

As he grew older and deepened, Yu Manzhi's body gradually faded away from the impetuosity of his youth, and he had a thick short beard under his chin, and he was also clear when reporting the military situation: "There are 12,000 people in the four armies of the old garrison in Tongguan, and 9,000 people in the three armies on the plateau, all of which are on standby, and the other cantonment is in the winter leisure, and 30,000 soldiers can be gathered......"

Tongguan is a heavy defense in the west, with more than 20,000 sergeants for a long time, and Heluo takes turns to change defenses.

And this time, Xingtai sent the two main combat forces of Fenwu and Hongwu, plus the Xiangyang soldiers who broke through Wuguan in the south, the number of front-line combat troops has reached 40,000, if it is enough to just occupy Hongnong and take advantage of the situation to exterminate the peripheral forces in Guanzhong such as Zhao Guo Jing in the Shangluo region further west.

"How is Hongnong Township?"

After entering the city and sitting down, Shen Zhezi asked about the enemy situation on the other side.

"After Shi Sheng broke away, Hongnong did not have a strong army stationed, and most of them were divided by the villagers. If it weren't for the general's order to be cautious and fortify, our troops would have been able to break through the next pass. ”

Yu Manzhi Zhengse said, this is not a boast, Hongnong has been devastated by the Hu people for a long time, and the township is already very weak, although the information on the register shows that there is no shortage of dock wall owners who have thousands or even tens of thousands of people, but it is mostly a rabble, and the armor and weapons are not complete, and the Tongguan garrison may not be as good as the four strong armies, but it is also the main combat force on the front line, and it is more than enough to break through these townsfolk forces.

"What the king is moving, he must seek Yongzhen to strengthen the defense, even if he gains merit, it will greatly disturb the countryside, and the enthusiasm of the people to welcome the king will not help."

The good situation is still not triggered, and it is indeed a little conservative. But Shen Zhezi is now in charge of the stage, and in addition to seeking merit, the main thing is to seek treatment. Last year, Xingtai was not able to completely take it easy, and rashly attacked to occupy Hongnong, and a large amount of investment was required to repair the place.

And after the battle line advanced to the Hongnong Weinan area, the Tongguan defense line focused on building became a rear defense base, it is true that the Wang Division can advance and retreat calmly, once the group of thieves in the pass come to attack, if the war is not smooth, you can retreat to Tongguan, but between the advance and retreat is undoubtedly more depletion of Hongnong's remaining vitality.

In particular, although Shi Sheng was defeated and crossed the river, his combat power still existed, and he could come from Pubannan to harass Wang Shi's back road at any time. In this way, Wang Shi has been forced to deepen his investment again and again, and he has fallen into this kind of offensive and defensive tug-of-war.

Now, although it has been suspended for a year, Wang Shi can gather gravity and seek to make a final decision and completely bring Hongnong into the governance of the land. This is the trade-off consideration that Shen Zhezi had to make after pulling out the regional battle situation from his vision.

"Previously, there were many villagers in Hongnong County who crossed the pass and asked Wang Shi to enter the county, but their situation has been controlled by slaves for a long time, and there are more slave generals Guo Jing on the flanks, and the authenticity of the nostalgia is still doubtful."

Speaking of this, Yu Manzhi waved his hand and motioned for Li Bing to continue speaking.

Although the four main armies are not clearly labeled, they generally have their own emphasis. In addition to being responsible for guarding the platform, the battle focused on strong defense and fortification, which was the best choice for setting up a foreign base.

The successor establishment of the Fenwu Army, the main general Xiao Yuandong himself is a well-known and almost demonic lucky general under the government, and the daring soldiers in the army are universally elected, attacking fortified villages, full of aggressiveness, accumulating more first, and making great achievements in battle.

The Yangwu Army can be said to be the best engineers, and the heavy weapons carried by the army are mostly used by the officers and men of the Yangwu Army, and the battle array is repaired, although it lacks the outstanding merits of fighting independently, but its sergeants are active in front of the formation, and the morale of the entire combat team is extremely strong, and the haunt also makes the enemies frightened, and it is not a level of combat effectiveness at all.

As for the Hongwu Army, it is a scout service, and the soldiers who can be selected among them may not be the strongest individual combat effectiveness, but their comprehensive ability is definitely the most comprehensive, and they all have superb riding skills, diving behind enemy lines, and running thousands of miles. After the formation of the army, the most brilliant achievement was to go deep into the Hebei Qianguo region, and even go around to the back of Xiangguo, intercept and kill the envoys sent to Xiangguo by Xianbei Daiguo all the way, and return with full strength.

The various divisions of the royal division, especially the legions of several main forces, were extremely luxuriously equipped, far superior to the rest of the world's armed forces. Relatively speaking, the Hongwu Army can be said to be the cheapest team to be rationed, and it can even be directly stocked in the mountains and wilderness, without burdens, and it can be maintained for a long time, and the soldiers can still live and live.

The reason for building such an alternative army is that Shen Zhezi has the kind of special forces feelings surging in his heart, there were no objective conditions before, but after Luoyang established Xingtai, the more resources and manpower can be mobilized, and Shen Zhezi also exhausted his efforts to build it.

Li Bing, the chief general of the Hongwu Army, is the son of Li Hong, the original Xuzhou general, but his ability to lead this ace army is not entirely nepotism.

First of all, his people did have great achievements, especially when he attacked Heluo in the early years, he took the lead in capturing Mengjin. The second is that since there was the concept of the Hongwu Army, his people followed the training, fought all the way, and finally stood out from more than a dozen candidates and became the general of this army.

Hongwu army entered the customs in advance, the main task is to spy on the detailed military situation, at this moment the general asked, Li Bing stood up from the table to collect the military intelligence collection during this time, and at the same time selected the key points to make a brief statement: "Previously, Hongnong Township was frequent, and the strong and weak merged and killed each other, because it was born several large families in the township, especially the largest in the Huayin Wubi of Hongnong Yang's base, and the township Yong had more than 10,000 people, and more than 10 ...... villages."

When Shen Zhezi heard this, he frowned, he didn't care much about the ordinary township tyrants, whether he killed or not, and whether he killed or not was only a thought.

However, it is really difficult to do a portal with a long heritage and a long-term reputation for many years, because this kind of portal is not a lonely and unknown person regardless of the current power, no matter what the attitude is towards it, the impact cannot be limited to one place, and it is inevitable that it will be widely interpreted by the times.

After thinking about it, he turned to the information about Hongnong Yang's family, Hongwujun did his best to collect information, and the people involved were not only at the moment, but even Hongnong Yang's ups and downs over the years.

Needless to say, the old reputation of Hongnong Yang's family, Yang Zhen, a famous minister of the Later Han Dynasty, was the master of Guanxi, which was well-known at that time, and the famous scholars of later generations, and the so-called three Yangs in the near and middle dynasties, and the three brothers of Yang Jun were in charge of the government and respected for a while.

But the fire cooking oil, too much, Yang Jun brothers are good at a while, and later by Emperor Hui Empress Jia Nanfeng and the king of the sect and the courtiers will kill the Yang family, involving thousands of people, the world-famous Hongnong Yang family is in decline, and even the local foundation has almost been uprooted.

However, the hundred-legged insect died but did not stiffen, and although the Yang family was slumped through this turmoil, it was not broken. Although Sanyang was killed, Yang Huan, another vein of the Yang family, survived because of his early death and young children, and Yang Huan was the son of Yang Xiu, a famous scholar in the late Han Dynasty.
