Chapter 136: Spikes
In the forest of Dingzhou, the advance base of the original grassland barbarians has changed greatly, the simple wooden fence city wall has been abandoned, replaced by rammed earth for the wall, covered with stone strips and blue bricks, up to more than ten meters of the male city, although not as tall and majestic as Dingzhou City, but his unique fortress design makes him completely a strong military fortress, the forest is like a spike, deeply pierced into the throat of the grassland, so that Bayar's bones choked in the throat, the bedroom is unsafe.
The main city of Shanglinli has been basically completed, some auxiliary facilities are being installed intensively, and outside the city, the construction of Weibao has officially started, and the busy people are carrying all kinds of materials like ants.
The design of Shanglin Li Weibao has been greatly improved compared with Fuyuan, because it is a new construction, Li Qing designed an underground passage between Weibao and the main city when designing, in Weibao, there is a dark passage leading to the main city, so that once the war breaks out, the main city and Weibao can effectively support each other, and the necessary troop mobilization, unlike Fuyuan City, as soon as the battle starts, Weibao will become an isolated island.
More periphery, some of the surrounding houses have a basic prototype, these early enclosed houses Dingzhou government to provide materials for free, but need to come to the people to build their own construction, the government only provides technicians for construction guidance, although the initial investment is larger, but compared with the later income, there are still a lot of Dingzhou people, foreign displaced people come to come, call friends, do in full swing. Especially the displaced people who poured into Dingzhou from other states, the desire for land made them not care about the dangers they might face, and now the reclamation point is under the nose of Shanglinli, tens of thousands of garrisons in Shanglin have given them a great sense of security, not to mention that the victory in Dingzhou has just given them a reassurance, for these people, the ferocity of the grassland barbarians has no pain in their skin, no more than the local people in Dingzhou, once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of the well rope.
On the main city, Shang Haibo stroked the edges of the triangular table, these stacks stretched forward, poked out of the main body of the city wall, and stretched out of the city, he sighed: "Dashuai really doesn't know where to learn these city-building skills, you see, it is such a simple change, it has caused great trouble to the siegers, and there will be greater losses in the battle." β
Lu Dalin deeply felt the same way, as the person who presided over the construction of the high city, but also as a veteran of the battlefield his own experience, he said: "Mr. Shang is right, if this city has enough materials, it will become a nightmare for the enemy, at least in the grassland, there is no way for the barbarians to shake the forest." With him, we can retreat to Baoding Prefecture without danger, and we can attack the hinterland of the grassland, take the strategic initiative, and do our best. Every time I think of this, I have to admire the foresight of the commander when he set up his plan to seize the forest. Now that I think about it, with Shanglinli, there is really a possibility that Dashuai's three-year plan to pacify the grassland can be realized. β
Shang Haibo laughed: "It's not possible, but it will be, Da Lin, yesterday there was a message from Luoyang, the marshal has been recruited as a concubine, but who is the princess you promised to the general?" β
Lu Dalin was surprised and delighted, "Really? The handsome was recruited as a colt, which is of great benefit to Dingzhou? But I don't know which princess? β
Shang Haibo pursed his lips, pulled down slightly, and said: "Da Chu is shaky, although it is crumbling, but hundreds of years of imperial heritage still accumulate strength that cannot be underestimated, right now, it does have a great help to us, soon, Dingzhou will usher in more than 10,000 craftsmen immigrating, this is the first batch of benefits that His Majesty the Emperor gave to Dingzhou, I think I can get more things in the future." But in the futureβ" Shang Haibo shook his head, "but that's for sure." β
Lu Dalin couldn't help but be taken aback by the unfinished meaning in Shang Haibo's words, and Shang Haibo's meaning was obvious.
"His Majesty the Emperor promised the princess of Allure to the marshal as his wife this time, which can be regarded as a full amount of money." Shanghai Wave Road.
"Princess Allure? Commander of the palace guards? Lu Dalin said in surprise. As a veteran, he has long heard of the palace guards, and all the iron horses are the nightmare of all troops, and as the commander of the palace guards, Allure will naturally not be a vase ornament.
"If the palace guards are here, I'm afraid that even Bayar's Long Xiao will have to retreat, that army is simply a group of demons." Lu Dalin sighed.
Shang Haibo laughed, "General Lu, don't look down on these palace guards, let's not say that we can't afford the equipment of the palace guards, even if we can afford it, such a force may be able to continuously win victories in a small area, but in terms of big strategy, how much help can it have." β
Lu Dalin smiled: "Mr. Shang is very right, but as a cavalry general, commanding such a unit is something that you have to wake up with a smile in your dreams!" β
The two teased a few words, and then turned the question back.
"My sentry has been released for nearly a hundred miles, and Bayar is finally moving." Lu Dalin said.
"The barbarian tribes of the green and red tribes have appeared a hundred miles away, and have begun to set up camp, forming a rugged situation in the upper forest, so as to force the upper forest not to infiltrate into the hinterland of the grassland. It seems that in the long future, this hundred miles will become a battlefield for the two clans. β
"Blue and red?" Shang Haibo asked rhetorically.
"Yes, Haningqi, the leader of the Green Department, and Abbas, the leader of the Red Department, have moved the big tent to Luofengpo, a hundred miles away, although the two departments have not come to the nest, but they are all elites, with a total of 50,000 accounts and nearly 150,000 people, and after removing the logistics women and children, at least 70,000 or 80,000 elite troops may be gathered, which is very stressful for us."
Shang Hai sighed and said, "Bayar is starting to do it. His long-planned plan to unify the grasslands has officially entered the implementation stage. β
"What do you mean by that?" Lu Dalin said puzzledly, "The two Qingwu are facing us head-on, doesn't it mean that Bayar has given up the dominance of Dongkou and let the Qingbu take the top?" I think that Bayar's prestige among the barbarians has been greatly damaged after the last defeat, and he will definitely be criticized by the various ministries, and this time it is a last resort. β
Shang Haibo shook his head: "Although the Bai clan failed in Fuyuan, it did not shake its foundation at all, Bayar's dragon roar, Huhe's wolf run, did not suffer any losses, and these two armies are the strength of Bayar's Weizhen grassland." With the help of this defeat, Bayar let Aobe come forward, and he was borrowing our hand to fight Aobe. β
"Dalin, think about it, on the grassland, in addition to the white department, the most likely person to get the big single Yu Bao is Qingbu Haningqi, but although the Qingbu has a large population, but when it comes to the elite soldiers, where can it compare to Long Xiao and Wolf Run, after the two wars, Bayar must have enough understanding of our Dingzhou army, so let the ambitious Haningqi come up and fight a few battles with us, after the strength of the Qingbu is greatly damaged, can it still hinder Bayar's plan? I'm afraid that the current Haning is still in the dark, and is trying to defeat us, take advantage of the power of victory, and force Bayar to give up his position! β
Lu Dalin was shocked, "Reasonable, Huhe's wolf run has begun to assemble and return from outside the Green Ridge Pass, and he will soon return to the Bai royal court." Could it be that is when Bayar will do it? β
"Bayar will definitely force Zige to do something to us this year, prompting the two families to fight, but I am afraid that he will have to wait until the summer and autumn of next year to clean up the grassland, and Huhe's wolf will run against the Wei people outside the Green Ridge Pass, and the pressure is very high, and the loss is not small, after coming back this time, I am afraid it will take a certain amount of time to repair and replenish."
"Mr. Nashang, are we going to fight Qingbu or not?" Lu Dalin said.
"Hit, of course you have to fight!" Shang Haibo smiled, "Even if we don't fight, Haningqi will fight, but we have to defeat him, but we can't beat him too painfully." In order for him to still have enough strength to deal with Bayar's threat, he will inevitably be at both ends of the line, and at this time, we will mix some material in the middle in order to reap the maximum benefits. β
Shang Haibo's eyes flashed, "Da Lin, our most fierce offensive will not be launched from Shanglin, but from the far west, and at that time, it will be the time for us to solve the grassland problem in one fell swoop." β
"Therefore, in the next two years, our strategy in Dingzhou is to defend and counterattack militarily, to divide the country diplomatically, to enrich the people and strengthen the state in terms of people's livelihood, to accumulate strength, and within three years, we will form an army of more than 100,000 people to carry out the final blow to the grassland."
"The West?" Lu Dalin gasped, "You mean the people of Murowei?" β
Shang Haibo nodded, "It has begun to be implemented, this is the most perfect plan, of course, it is very difficult to implement, if this strategy fails, it will be up to us." β
Lu Dalin nodded vigorously. 100,000 troops swept across the grasslands, and he couldn't help but begin to look forward to the magnificent scene.
