I’m The King Chapter 580: : dig meat

When seeing Pioneer City for the first time, not only Yan Peng, but even Sun Xiao was shocked. Pioneer City was completely different from what they had imagined.

In Sun Xiao's imagination, the current Pioneer City should be the same as when he built the Niulan Mountain Camp. First build a simple barracks with great development potential, and then improve it step by step. It took several years to transform it into a strong city. In fact, the Niulanshan camp was indeed the same. Of course, now he no longer uses the Niulanshan camp, but has been renamed Tonghu City. He Lanxiong's base camp.

The current Pioneer City is naturally incomparable with Tonghu City, but Sun Xiao was shocked by his progress. This is already on the verge of becoming a behemoth. The one in the middle should be the first camp to be erected, but most of the wall formed by the wide wooden fence filled with earth and rocks has now begun to be covered with green bricks, and on the left and right, two large camps of similar size have already Well done, Sun Xiao is an expert in this field, so he naturally knows that if the two big camps on the left and right are connected with the Pioneer City in the middle, the first real big city will appear on the Hetao Plain.

Looking around, a brick cellar in the distance is emitting wisps of smoke, and outside, piles of green bricks are being transported here by horse-drawn carriages. Before long, the entire exterior of Pioneer City will be covered with blue bricks. The strength of the city wall covered with bricks is naturally not the same as that of the wood-soil structure.

"Why are there so many people?" Sun Xiao was taken aback just by glancing at the soldiers working and training within sight.

Xu Yuan looked very proud, "Commander, I have divided the troops into three teams, one for building the city, one for training, and one for rest every three days. This ensures the speed of building the city and preparations. Combat training ensures that the soldiers have plenty of physical strength.”

"I'm asking you. Where did so many people come from? You have only three or four thousand troops, but I see...wait a minute, you just said that you divided the people into three teams, but you are busy building the city now There are more than three thousand people. You actually got tens of thousands of horses, where did you get them?"

Sun Xiao opened his eyes wide and looked at Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan laughed triumphantly, "Commander, please enter the city, and we will talk about it after entering the city."

Yan Peng, who was as suspicious as Sun Gong, was also puzzled. He thought that after the arrival of the 4,000 second army under his command, it would undoubtedly become the backbone of the Hetao Plain. , but it looks like right now. But this was absolutely not the case, under Xu Yuan's command, there were tens of thousands of horses, one army, two divisions, one division and three regiments. A division has 12,000 combat personnel, plus other miscellaneous items, it is 15,000 to 20,000 people. It is reasonable, and an army will definitely exceed 30,000 people. Sun Xiao estimated the same. Then Xu Yuan now has at least one division that can be fully staffed. Thinking about his subordinates, he is much poorer, and can only guarantee the strength of one regiment.

There is a huge gap in strength between the two sides. After that, I will become a supporting role in the Hetao Plain.

The wall of Pioneer City is still in the final brick-laying work. The inside, however, is even simpler. Obviously, Xu Yuan puts more emphasis on the external defense, and built a large building with a brick and wood structure. It was Xu Yuan's military headquarters. When he walked into the house, he could still smell a strong earthy smell. After several people sat down and the guards brought hot tea, Xu Yuan calmly began to talk about the first time in this period of time. The rapid development of the army.

Gongsun Yi and Luo Lei led their cavalry, and under the guidance of Chen Bin, they raided several Donghu reclamation sites around Tengger and rescued the prisoners of war of the Yan army who were reclaiming in these places. There are more than 10,000 people, and now these people have become Xu Yuan's subordinates. Except for a small number of people who no longer want to be soldiers, but have changed their careers to become farmers. When it came to Xu Yuan's First Army, there were now more than fifteen thousand soldiers in the First Army. It is indeed a full-staffed division. After being divided into two divisions, each division can also be filled with two regiments. With such a gratifying result, Xu Yuan couldn't help but be very proud and smile all over his face.

Sun Xiao and Yan Peng looked at each other in blank dismay, Xu Yuan's luck was a little too good, the Governor's Mansion originally estimated that Donghu would send a large number of people to the Hetao Plain to fight for this area with the East Conquering Army, but now it seems that it is not at all That's not the case. The Donghu did send people here, but most of them were prisoners of war, and what they did was nothing more than farming. It seems that the Donghu people didn't take the Eastern Army seriously. As if Zhengdong's army didn't dare to provoke casually, Xu Yuan just took advantage of this loophole and succeeded in one fell swoop. But this is also a one-shot deal. Xu Yuan succeeded, and the latecomers will never be able to follow suit. Donghu people have suffered this dull loss. How can there be any reason for not taking strict precautions in other reclamation sites?

"Why didn't you continue to mop up?" Sun Xiaoming asked knowingly, "The Yan army has more than 50,000 prisoners of war in Donghu."

"After a few successes at the beginning, it was not so easy later. The Donghu people began to mobilize a large number of soldiers and horses here. The sentry inquired about the news that the Donghu general who presided over the Hetao Plain was called Yu Wenke. It’s easy to deal with, and after a few attacks, the loss is not small, the harvest is not big, and the income is not enough to cover the expenditure, so I just let it go, return to Xi’an, and start to build the city with all my heart.” Xu Yuan was in a leisurely manner, as if he had already taken advantage of the advantages and was satisfied.

Sun Xiao stroked his chin and pondered for a while, then stretched out **** towards Xu Yuan, Xu Yuan's face immediately showed a look of pain.

Two fingers naturally represent that Sun Xiao will transfer 2,000 people from Xu Yuan to the headquarters of the group army. Seeing Xu Yuan's reluctance, Sun Xiao smiled, "There is no room for bargaining, and there must be one less."

"Okay, two thousand is two thousand. When the commander leaves here, he can take it away."

"I want the strongest one." Sun Xiao added worryingly, "Don't look at me sloppily, or you will be more attractive."

"In front of the commander, how dare I play a blind eye!" Xu Yuan said with a bitter face, "The guarantee is the best."

"It's more or less the same." Sun Xiao stretched his legs contentedly, "I'm really exhausted after walking for more than a month, Xu Yuan, let me bring you some delicious food today. The altar of good wine is to reward you for your hard work during this period of time, and it also means to compensate you for not being in Jishi City for years, so today is just a good time to drink."

Xu Yuan jumped up immediately, "I have plenty of wine here, but save the wine sent by the governor, I can't bear to drink it."

Sun Xiao laughed loudly, "You kid is playing sloppy in front of me. The little wine in your hand can be compared with what the governor specially gave you. I want to hide the good ones and enjoy it privately. Mener None. Naturally, it is beneficial for everyone to share, Commander Yan, don’t you think so?”

Yan Peng nodded immediately. "Of course, everyone is a brother. Brothers, the benefits are naturally shared. It's better to be alone than to be happy."

Xu Yuan's face elongated again, he looked at Sun Xiao, then at Yan Peng, "It's not like playing Qiufeng!" He naturally understood what Sun Xiao said, it's not about wine , there are other meanings hidden in it.

Sun Xiao smiled slightly, Xu Yuan is a smart person, so he naturally understood what he said, and he knew that Xu Yuan must be dissatisfied with cutting his flesh like this, but there was nothing he could do about it, the first army and the second army belonged to him Under his command, if the difference in strength between the two sides is too great, many things will not be settled in the future, and the second army will completely become a subsidiary of the first army in the future.

"Everything is for the governor, everything is for conquering the Eastern Army, and everything is for defeating Donghu!" He said three things, then stared at Xu Yuan and stopped talking.

Xu Yuan was silent for a moment, "Okay, I will deploy another 2,000 people to the Second Army."

"Mr. Xu Gaoyi!" Yan Peng couldn't help being overjoyed, and gave Xu Yuan a thumbs up, "Everyone in the Second Army, thank you brothers in the First Army for your support."

Xu Yuan had a smile on his face, but his heart was bleeding, and he shouted loudly: "Come here, tell the kitchen to prepare some good food and drinks. Today I want to have a few drinks with Commander Yan and Commander Yan." , Hua Zong, go and inform the officers below, prepare to have a few drinks to the Commander and Commander Yan at night.”

Sun Xiao and Yan Peng looked at each other, with wry smiles in their eyes, Xu Yuan cut his flesh, and they are going to go out sideways tonight, seeing Xu Yuan's posture, don't force them down, Never give up.

But for the sake of 2,000 people, it's a fart to drink and lie down!

Just when Pioneer City was full of jubilation, Xu Yuan threw a big banquet ~IndoMTL.com~ to welcome Sun Xiao and Yan Peng, in Tengger, a Donghu general stood on the scorched earth, and he was also expressing his impassioned speech speech.

He is Yu Wenke, the patriarch of the Yuwen Department, and now he is the freshly-baked general of the Left Route Army of the Eastern Hu Dynasty.

Thorpe's work of unifying the Donghu clans and establishing a centralized dynasty has finally come to an end. With the power of defeating the 100,000 army of Yan State, coupled with the **** butcher knife, Thorpe's great cause of unification is progressing faster than expected A lot, the old king cleaned up a group when he was alive, and weakened another group when the Yan army attacked. The only ones that really belonged to Thorpe's direct line were Alundai's Tieling tribe. The strength of the clan has returned to the pre-war era.

Yu Wenke originally belonged to the neutral tribe when the two kings seized the throne, but he changed his style very quickly. On the Pu side, this is also one of the reasons why he was rewarded for his meritorious service after Thorpe became king.

And now, Thorpe has handed over the command of the Hetao Plain to him, which is also a recognition of his ability.

The Hetao Plain must not fall into the hands of the Eastern Zheng Army. This is Thorpe's bottom line, that is to say, it is not feasible for Yuwen to stick to the east bank, he must attack.
