Chapter 456

The garrison was selected, but in the selection of the Luoyang Navy, it was really disappointing. Zhou Tai only selected more than 1000 people in the whole Luoyang Huangfu Chaobo area of influence. If his old troops are added, it is estimated that they are two troops and three troops away from one school. Fortunately, the number of warships in Luoyang is far from enough, plus the number of shipbuilding The level and quantity of craftsmen are obviously not enough. Therefore, there is a long way to go for the construction of the water army. After Zhou Tai had selected the troops and the water army, he immediately came to Huangfu Chaobo and said that he would return to Jingzhou after escorting Zaozhi. He said that he wanted to go to yunmengze to recruit some water thieves and select the water soldiers from among them.

Huangfu Chaobo readily agreed, and asked him to take two thousand gold with him to recruit surrender. The people he recruited were not limited to naval officers and soldiers, but also all kinds of shipbuilding craftsmen. Not only that, he also asked Shi a to arrange people to take over Zhou Tai. Their original foothold in Xiangyang was as a garrison of shadow guard in Xiangyang. If Zhou Tai didn't have enough money, You can let the shadow send back the message, and Huangfu Chaobo will arrange someone to send it. For Huangfu Chaobo spare no effort to support, let Zhou Tai very useful, determined to train the Navy as soon as possible.

At the beginning of April, after busy with his own affairs, Zao was escorted by Zhou Tai and dozens of soldiers, carrying a large number of belongings to Jizhou Zhicheng. On the surface, the purpose of his trip seems to be to go to Jizhou to buy grain, but in fact, it is to form an alliance with Han Fu. Lou GUI is responsible for the reconstruction and coordination of Luoyang, while Huang Zhong is leading the generals to train their troops.

The reconstruction of Luoyang is going on smoothly. But something happened in youbeiping that Huangfu Chaobo did not expect.

In mid April, gongsunzan's army, which sent troops to the grassland from Lulong fortress, won and returned. In two months, gongsunzan led the army to sweep several alien tribes within 300 miles of the Great Wall. To the surprise of the players, this time, Gongsun Zan didn't kill a bloody man. Instead, he took more than 10000 foreign captives back to the Great Wall from Lulong fortress. Then, the captives were sent to junmi County, which was under the new rule, and handed over to Gongsun Yue. After that, he led the army back to Tuyin City, which is the governance center of youbeiping.

What the players didn't find is that five thousand of these ten thousand captives were escorted by two thousand cavalry led by Gongsun Yue one night and went north again into the edge of the grassland. Gongsunyue's destination is of course Longhua city outside the Great Wall, which is part of the agreement with Huangfu Chaobo. In fact, his purpose of this trip is not only to send prisoners, but also to observe the development of Longhua Town as required by gongsunzan. However, this time Gongsun Zan also learned to be proficient. Of the 12000 prisoners, only 5000 were sent by Gongsun Yue. Among them, only 1000 were strong and strong. The rest were old and weak women and scholars. Because there was not much population in junmi County, the remaining prisoners were used in the construction of junmi county.

Gongsun Yue had already sent someone to contact Tian Yu and others in Longhua town before he set out. After receiving the news from the shadow, Tian Yu immediately adjusted the population and forces in the town. In addition to 1000 Baima Yicong and 1000 ordinary cavalry, only 3000 soldiers and 8000 ordinary people were left in Longhua Town, and all other soldiers and nearly 10000 people had been transferred to Baihu In the vicinity of gouguan, efforts will be made to build baihugouguan and baihugou town. Then Tian Yu led two thousand cavalry to junmi to meet Gongsun Yue and his party.

Three days later, Gongsun Yuecai and Tian Yu arrived at Longhua town with 5000 prisoners. Looking at the pass under construction in the valley and the town full of stone and wood in the pass, Gongsun was more and more surprised, and said: "Tian Xiaowei, it's only a few months. Your speed is still very fast. You've upgraded the village to a small town."

"Second general, I'm flattered," Tian Yu said with a smile. "After I got general Gongsun's permission, my lord ordered me to speed up the construction day and night. However, second general, what you see now is an empty shelf. Now in Longhua Town, there are less than 8000 people and prisoners besides 4000 or 5000 soldiers. If you want to upgrade to the county, you have to rely on the second general's help We provide the population

"I'm not sending you prisoners," Gongsun Yue said, patting Tian Yu on the shoulder. "With these 5000 prisoners, you can catch some on the grassland. Won't you be able to gather 20000 people soon?"

"Yes, yes, that's right. But after upgrading to a county seat, it's basically very difficult. You know, the grassland is already vast and sparsely populated. It's basically impossible to gather 50000 people in ten or eight years, but it doesn't matter. Anyway, the Lord just wants to find a stable place to raise and train horses There's basically no difference. " Tian Yu said as if nothing had happened;

Gongsun heard this, his eyes flashed by, and quickly said: "it doesn't matter, the size of the city doesn't matter, when we need to, we can send you prisoners again, but the number of troops can't be less. You see, this time I specially selected more than 1000 elite soldiers for you, which are good soldiers Source

"Yes, yes, our two cities will be nailed to the outside of the great wall like nails!" Tian Yu said: "the two cities help each other. When they are upgraded to the county seat, the Lord means that the city will stop at this level. At that time, except for some necessary personnel, most of Longhua will be recruited as soldiers. As for farmland and grazing, they will be handed over to women and children. However, at that time, a large amount of food in the city will need to be purchased from youbeiping I need more help from the second general. ""Don't worry, with my relationship with your master, these are all small problems. You should speed up your time to upgrade the city, and then concentrate on training horses!" Gongsun patted his chest and said;

"that's for sure. At that time, you must get some good horses for some generals."

Gongsun Yue only stayed in Longhua town for half a day. He saw that there was basically only one empty shell in the whole town, and the population was obviously insufficient, which was basically equal to the number of soldiers. However, he did a good job in defense. Longhua town was well selected. If there was a pass in the middle of the valley, as long as there was enough money and food, it was basically surrounded by tens of thousands of troops In some cases, it can last for a year and a half. Gongsunyue all the way, there are all kinds of workshops in Longhua Town, but they are basically built there. For example, there is a blacksmith's workshop. Although there is an intermediate blacksmith in it, there are not many iron ore raw materials, but there are some damaged weapons and equipment in repair. As for other workshops, the situation is similar. I believe that with such a city outside the Great Wall, even if Xianbei people went south, they would not dare to invade junmi without solving the problem first. It can be said that junmi city was safe before Longhua was captured.
