Chapter 446

Gu fan nodded and said: "Uncle fan is worthy of guarding Northern Xinjiang for more than ten years. He knows everything about Northern Xinjiang like the back of his hand." Gu fan then said, "Uncle fan, do you remember that you once proposed to the Ministry of war to build a fortress here?"

"Oh, I'm about to forget about it... Yes, but later I was dismissed by the Ministry of war with an excuse. Then Hou dantai RUOYE of Beisu came back to take charge of the military power with me, and the matter was completely shelved. What's the matter? "

Gu Fan said with a smile, "isn't it the best time for us to build a fortress here?"

Situ mengming pondered for a while and said, "I've heard about the establishment of a fortress there, marquis. It's said that the Army Department disagreed for three reasons. One is that the supply is too long, the other is that the defense is difficult, and the third is that the war situation is unstable. Is that so?"

"Not bad..." Tiebi Hou fan Suiyang nodded: "our army's supply line only extends to the Shanhaiguan fortress, and then there is no supply line. If we want to build the fortress there, we have to build more than 200 miles of roads. It's really difficult to build such a long road in the ice and snow environment."

Gu Fan said with a faint smile: "this is not a problem now. Even if there is no official road, there can be other channels for transportation. The border trade is so developed that the caravan can take the road, and the supply truck can also take the road..."

Fan Suiyang, the Marquis of Tiebi, said: "the second reason is the difficulty in defense. If there are too many garrisons, it will be difficult to supply, and it will also cost a lot of food and grass. If there are few soldiers stationed in the fortress, as the only way for the dog Army to attack Northern Xinjiang, it will certainly bear the biggest and sharpest attack of the dog army. If it is blocked, it will naturally be able to resist the enemy outside the country, and ensure that the people of Northern Xinjiang live and work in peace and contentment, If it is not stopped, the fortress will fall into the hands of the gourong people... Then retreat can deter the northern Xinjiang, advance can attack Shanhaiguan, and even Shenyang. The overall harm is greater than the good, and the harm is endless. "

Gu fan nodded again and said, "if ordinary troops go to guard, no matter how many people there are, they will not be able to stop hundreds of thousands of troops coming out of the country... But what if they are not ordinary troops?"

"How do you say that?" Fan Suiyang, the Marquis of the iron wall, asked.

"What if it's the cloud wing of our forbidden army that defends this fortress? What if I had five more of my elite warriors and three of my star level strongmen? Even if the dog soldiers sent 500000 troops, plus a considerable number of martial arts experts, it might be possible to capture this fortress, right

"Fan Er, I see what you mean..." Tiebi Hou fan Suiyang nodded his head and said, "now the dog army is seriously injured. It's absolutely impossible to invade again in a short time. The line from Shanhaiguan to the edge of the ice field is completely under our army's control. This is the best time to build this fortress..." after all, Tiebi Hou fan Suiyang is a battlefield veteran, He had already formed the habit of doing things in a vigorous and resolute manner, and then said, "as long as the funds for building the fortress can be in place, I will immediately write a letter in duplicate. One copy is the Ministry of arms, and ask the Ministry of arms to approve us to build the fortress at the ice field crossing. The other copy is the Shuai palace, and ask the cloud wing Department of the forbidden army to stay in Northern Xinjiang to help stabilize the situation. Fan'er, what do you think?"

Gu fan shook his head and said, "don't leave all of them... 30% of them stay in Northern Xinjiang, 70% of them return to Tianjing City, half a year for a change of defense. What do you think?"

Fan Suiyang, the Tiebi Marquis, nodded his head and said, "well, 100000 elite imperial guards occupy a unique fortress, and they are on the northernmost edge. If the guards have two hearts, they can be separated from each other. If you do that, it's easy to reassure those people in Tianjing City, and there's no reason to stop us from building the fortress. "

Gu fan nodded slightly and continued: "don't worry about safety. The gangs in those market towns have been integrated by my men. When the fortress is established, they will be reorganized into a regular army to maintain public security. As for funds, they also have enough funds. At most, Yantian army can allocate some more stones and timber here, and they can use local materials, It's not a big problem... "

Fan Suiyang, the Marquis of iron wall, nodded slightly, but said with a smile: "fan Er, I can't imagine that your men have even incorporated the gangs. It's really not easy..."

Gu fan heard that fan Suiyang, the Marquis of Tiebi, actually had a little bit of a catchword. Fortunately, fan Suiyang, the Marquis of Tiebi, and Gu fan are indeed on the same front. Otherwise, Gu fan's different voices and colors will integrate all the gangs around the ice sheet, which is enough to make fan Suiyang, the Marquis of Tiebi, have a different heart and be on guard against him.

"Well, in that case, I'll go back and prepare the official documents for the Ministry of war and the palace." Fan Suiyang, the Marquis of iron wall, stood up and said to them with a smile: "fan'er and Meng Ming, you two have been working hard these days. If you have nothing to do, go back and have a good rest..."

"I'm looking forward to hearing from you." Gu fan also stood up and arched his hand to fan Suiyang, the Marquis of iron wall. Next to him, Huan Lingyue bowed slightly to salute. Then they walked down the warm pavilion with situ mengming.

Gu fan originally wanted to have a rest, but he was just called by situ mengming to have a drink in deyuelou. He said that he had been short of this meal for a long time. Today, he said that he had to drink anything. Huan Lingyue didn't stop Gu fan, which made our little Marquis not easy to refuse. He had to follow situ mengming to Deyue building. As a result, in the elegant room on the second floor of Deyue building, he poured situ mengming into a drunken mess, lying directly under the table, mumbling and not leaving. Finally, he was supported by two or three men and came downstairs.

When Gu fan came out of Deyue building, he heard Huan Lingyue beside him chuckling abruptly, as if it were a silver bell. Gu fan couldn't help but turn his head and saw the beauty smile. It was like a flash in the pan. He couldn't help but ask, "Lingyue, what are you laughing at?"“ I laugh at the way you drink. Compared with two years ago, you have not made any progress Huan Lingyue said with a smile: "I always want to be a little gangster, and I'm still rowing..." "ah..." Gu fan stretched out his hand with the strength of wine, shook it and said: "don't say that. Two years ago, I was just a concubine of the Hou family, At that time, I might be said to be a dandy... I now... Now... Hold a heavy hand... This is... Name... Celebrity... Wind... Romantic... Ouch... "Gu fan was proud, thinking that he had drunk situ mengming under the table, and he was just like everyone else, At this time, I just felt that the strength of the wine began to surge up, but I felt that the sky was whirling around. If I wasn't supported by huanlingyue, I was afraid that I would be "Putong" to the ground“ You... Try to be brave. " Huanlingyue doesn't know what the expression is. Gu fan listens to this sentence vaguely. Then he feels that he is helped into a carriage by huanlingyue, and then he is in a daze. He doesn't know anything.
