As the rout brought the news of the defeat of the front army, the Chinese army, which was already not far from Huicheng, immediately stopped to watch and watch, waiting for the convergence with the rear army.

After the Xihe Army defeated the Yuan Army's front army, it did not take advantage of this free time to celebrate.

Under the supervision of Zuo Zhiming, it has entered a new round of preparations.

Zuo Zhiming made it clear that defeating the Yuan army was not all right, and everything had just begun.

Zhang Xiu and Xu Ze did not stay, after withdrawing from the battlefield, they rested for a night, and left to join the main force before dawn.

In the land adjacent to the sea, the storm still hits from the sea, bringing abundant rainwater resources, moistening the entire storm Qingyuan and 50,000 mountains, making the land vibrant and beautiful.

Zhang Yuan sat in a place near the sea and increased his investment in government affairs.

There were Ba Dinghan and Hu Chu who had a good start before, and the frightened grass barbarians did not dare to have different hearts, even when the mountain barbarians attacked, they only dared to watch from the wall.

Now Zhang Yuan began to do it himself, and in the case of great benevolence, more and more barbarian tribes began to change from estrangement and awe to the Xihe army to become close and friendly, and the orders given to Zhang Yuan began to be serious, no longer perfunctory.

At the same time, Zhang Yuan began to set up market towns of different sizes centered on a certain friendly tribe according to the situation in various places, and used the various daily necessities sent by Xihe City to further induce those barbarian tribes who had succumbed to force, so that they could see that Xihe City brought them tangible benefits, so as to completely eliminate their resistance.

"The fortress of the canyon has already been built? Well. Well done! Wait a minute, order Liu Feng to bring people over to garrison the fortress. ”

"Although the grass barbarism and mountain barbarism in the land adjacent to the sea are barbaric and uncivilized, they are after all a race developed by the combination of the remnants of the Han nationality and the locals. In Chinese, it is not a race that has nothing to do with the Han nationality, but after the conquest, the follow-up pacification was still smoother than imagined. It seems that it is time to increase the export ...... to the land adjacent to the sea! ”

"The drainage system of the Han tribe has been dug up, and the market town has been built? It's only been a few days, and the drainage system is impossible to perfunctory. After all, I sent someone to personally supervise the people, but as for the road, I'm afraid that I will use a war horse to run out of the road repeatedly, right? And the market town? More of a joke. Pitching some tents solved the ......"

"Forget it, after all, the market town is a temporary thing, and after a while, the mountain barbarians will be completely solved, and it is only right to build a real city based on these market towns! with immediate benefits. The subtle influence of these rudeness has not yet been completely submitted. Qian Tian's move is really good. ”

"Originally, it would take at least a few years to completely control the land adjacent to the sea, so for the sake of this market town, I don't know how many tribes in Ludao took the initiative to come over! Although not all of them are sincere, as long as they don't slack off on the surface, after a series of propaganda combinations by Zhou Chengxing, I don't believe that those ordinary barbarians are not all in their hearts, and then they can't help but do whatever they want! ”

Finish the government affairs of the land near the sea. Zhang Yuan stretched his waist and strode out. As soon as I arrived at the door, I met Shao Zhang who came in a hurry.

When Shao Zhang saw Zhang Yuan, he immediately said: "Boss, urgent military situation!" ”

Zhang Yuan took the secret letter handed over by Shao Zhang, turned around and walked into the tent, after the translation, his face changed several times, and he was speechless for a long time.

Half-loud, Zhang Yuan exhaled: "It's a mixed bag, but it's more shocking!" This feather is really too violent, I know that when Chu and Han were fighting for hegemony, he was already very good, and Liu Bei was embarrassed, defeated repeatedly, and before that, he crippled the army of the Qin Dynasty that lost the rule of Qin Shi Huang. But...... That's a bit exaggerated, isn't it? ”

Words such as continuous violent, exaggerated, etc., Zhang Yuan didn't think it was too much at all, but he had some doubts about whether it was a mistake for him to rescue Xiang Yu.

Half a month ago, Liu Bang gathered nearly a million troops to suppress Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu led 30,000 troops to take the initiative to attack, after a series of long-distance attacks and intersperses. Just the night before yesterday, he defeated Liu Bang's 300,000 troops on the left side in one fell swoop, and captured more than 100,000 people and killed them all this morning, and Xiang Yu was nowhere to be found.

Zhang Yuan sighed a few times and muttered dumbly: "I'm afraid Liu Bang will be mad at this......!" ”

Xiang Yu in this life is much more fierce than in the previous life.

According to Zhang Yuan's guess, there is a relationship between the foundation of the Han Dynasty and the previous life, and Xiang Yu who has not been so sharpened in the previous life.

"The 300,000 army is lost, and Liu Bang still has 600,000, which is still more than Xiang Yu. However, this time Liu Bang is afraid that he will not dare to act rashly, if he is killed by Xiang Yu for another 300,000 yuan, then Liu Bang will really be unable to exterminate Xiang Yu in a short period of time......! ”

"In the next step, Liu Bang should replenish his troops, but the troops in other places are already very weak, and they can't squeeze much, but Xiang Yu's crisis is imminent, and the soldiers and horses in the hands of Li Shang are afraid that they will not be spared!" Thinking of this, Zhang Yuan couldn't help but show a smile and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Li Shang didn't move for a long time, but it gave Zhang Yuan a headache more than Yuan Jun.

He is like a thorn in Zhang Yuan's heart, and now this thorn is afraid that he has no strength, how not to let Zhang Yuan take a breath.

"However, we still can't take it lightly, the front army of the Yuan army was destroyed, and the battlefield of Ganping Prefecture is already close at hand, Xihe can send another army and horses over, mainly cavalry, but not too much. Otherwise, if Li Shang suddenly made a move at this time, there would really be no place to cry. Therefore, it is mainly dispatched from the land adjacent to the sea. ”

After writing a secret letter and asking Shao Zhang, who was waiting outside the tent, to send it back, Zhang Yuan went to the camp.

At this time, there was an incomparably loud noise outside, and the sound of grass and mountain barbarians 'hmm, hmm' resounded throughout the camp.

Many tribes, old and weak, women and children gather here to sing and dance to see off the departing procession.

Ba Dinghan and Hu Chu were in a hurry one after another, although Zhang Yuan had already passed the news to the Mengshan tribe on the opposite side by letting go of the captive mountain barbarians and using their mouths, but the Mengshan tribe did not appreciate it.

In other words, the war was fought to this point, and they thought that the Xihe Army could not hold on, and deliberately used the tactic of delaying the army to delay time, so the offensive not only did not decrease, but tended to increase.

In the face of such a tendon, while Zhang Yuan was secretly angry, he could only cry out in vain and step up the organization of troops to support Ba Dinghan and Hu Chu.

Today, this is the first supporting tribe, commanded by Yeluhong and Chu Feng respectively, including 3,000 Xihe Army, 2,000 Shanman, and 5,000 Caoman, a total of 10,000 troops. (To be continued......)
