I’m The King Chapter 1300: : Carry forward the past and open up the future (one hundred and ninety) division of labor

In Zhao Xilie's view, whether it is He Lanxiong or him, coming to serve in the Third Military Region, to put it bluntly, the Han Dynasty does not want the two of them to hold strong military power in their hands. It's better, when Zhao Di is completely integrated into the Han Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty Hall has digested this huge cake, and he no longer has to worry about his influence, he may return to the regular army one day, but He Lanxiong is different. He Lanxiong is the king's brother-in-law and the current banner of the Huns. No matter from which aspect, he has little chance of regaining military power. This fierce tiger will be kept in a fixed circle from now on, surrounded by the civil affairs work that he is angry with.

"Commander, we don't have any enemies in the northwest anymore. Those who dared to resist us have already turned into dry bones. There is no need to invest too much military power in the military, right?" Zhao Xilie said.

He Lanxiong glanced at Zhao Xilie, and laughed, Zhao Xilie felt guilty, knowing that his thoughts had been seen through by this seemingly rough guy in front of him.

"The area controlled by our third military region is too large, the land is sparsely populated, and all the farms are scattered all over the place. It is really unnecessary to build an infantry unit, but it is not necessary to maintain a sufficient cavalry force. Now we have two All the cavalry add up to less than 5,000 people. Such an army is still powerless to control such a large area. , It’s not that there are no hidden dangers and no enemies.” He Lanxiong walked to the wall where the map was hung, and looked up at the huge map.

"Where does our enemy come from?" Zhao Xilie was a little puzzled.

He Lanxiong pointed to the yellow patch on the map.

"Desert?" Zhao Xilie was dumbfounded.

"It's not the desert, but the other side of the desert." He Lanxiong said in a deep voice. "Old Zhao, do you still remember the battle between Li Xin and Wang Xiao on the prairie a few years ago?"

"Of course, although I was not a participant, I also know that the battle was earth-shattering and thrilling." Of course Zhao Xilie knew, because Li Xin passed through Shanggu controlled by the Zhao people at that time. The sudden attack on Daijun put the Han army in an unprecedented predicament.

"Wang Jian disappeared, taking more than 30,000 Zhao troops into this vast desert." He Lanxiong stared at the dazzling yellow on the map. "Wang Xiao, Wang Jian, I hate them."

Turning around, He Lanxiong sat down slowly, "Ten years ago, in Mount Huolan, this father and son slaughtered tens of thousands of Hun soldiers who had surrendered to me. Not far away, when I arrived there, what I saw was a hell-like scene. My comrades were lying there with their hands tied behind their backs, piled on top of each other, lying there with their eyes closed. They had already surrendered. !”

Zhao Xilie sat down silently, of course he also knew about it, afterwards. Although Wang Xiao was punished by Qin Ting on the bright side, everyone knew that this was just Qin Ting's blindfold.

"The battle on the grassland, I thought I could avenge them. But in the end, I just killed Wang Xiao, but Wang Jian disappeared into the desert with the main force of the Qin army, and I have never been heard from again. I will not Forget his."

Zhao Xilie heard He Lanxiong's fists clenched.

"But it is a vast desert. Over the years, I have never heard of anyone who can pass through the desert and survive." Zhao Xilie said: "Or, they have already been buried in the desert."

"No. No way!" He Lanxiong shook his head and said, "In the past, sporadic merchants would occasionally cross this desert. The Zhixiongnu tribe finally chose to cross the desert, although they also disappeared. On the other side of the desert, there is another world."

Zhao Xilie took a deep breath, "Even if there is another world somewhere, if it is suitable for human survival, there must be forces controlling them there. Even if Wang Jian goes there, life will not be easy. Or they have been wiped out by local forces."

"Many years ago, sporadic merchants arrived here, and we also got some information, but very little, but we also outlined the specific situation on the other side of the desert based on these pitiful information, but the two Over the past year, no businessman from the opposite side has been able to reach us across this vast sea of ​​sand, do you know what this means?"

Zhao Xilie shook his head.

"According to the information we obtained before, on the other side of the desert, the area is also vast, but unlike ours here where there is a strong national control, there are many forces and are in chaos. Some small countries close to the desert In the country, there are daring businessmen crossing the desert, not only to explore, but also to open up a business route, but now, there is no one. In fact, the National Security Bureau has been sending spies there in the past few years, but it is a pity , all of them have gone and never returned."

Zhao Xilie became a little nervous, "So, now they are deliberately controlling people from flowing here?"

"That's right, someone is consciously controlling it, so, who could this person be?" He Lanxiong waved his arm, "If you want me to say, it must be Wang Jian. Where did he go, he survived, and , He has also established a force capable of controlling the border. He is afraid that we will leak his whereabouts from the businessmen who occasionally arrive at us, causing us to chase and kill him. Therefore, he forbids any businessmen to come to our side. pass."

"This is just a guess." Zhao Xilie said.

"Yes, it's just a guess, but I'm not afraid of 10,000, just in case. Wang Jian has a deep hatred with us. Now he is weak and cannot be our enemy, but if one day he becomes stronger, he Will they attack us across the desert? We must plan ahead, and we must be prepared."

"Then, does the king know about this?" Zhao Xilie asked.

He Lanxiong laughed: "Brother Zhao, do you really think that our third military region is only here to cultivate and open up wasteland? We developed the Northwest to guard against them. Of course, not only for Wang Jian, he is just one of the king's plans." Among the enemies in the world, an insignificant one."

"Is that so?" Zhao Xilie exclaimed.

"We want to develop the northwest. This is the first step. The most practical role now is that we will become the barrier behind Jishi County and other important cities of the Han Dynasty. Without us, if there are enemies coming across the desert, the first step The one that was hit was Jishi County, you know the importance of Jishi County in our Han Dynasty, this is our military and industrial center, and it is the core driving force for our Han Dynasty to move forward."

"Now we have basically completed the first step, and the next step is to enter the second step, to develop the Great Northwest, so that it can become a base for us to attack, retreat and defend. After that, one day, we will wave our troops across this desert to see the scenery over there.”

He Lanxiong turned around and looked at Zhao Xilie with burning eyes, "So Brother Zhao, don't think that we were dispatched here. What we shoulder is that ten years later, or decades later, the big man will move forward." Direction, of course, or when the time comes, it is not the two of us who will enjoy this achievement, but it is the strong foundation that the two of us have laid since today, and when the day comes, this northwest will be our forward base.”

Zhao Xilie only felt that the blood in his whole body was on fire. It turned out that Han Guo had already begun to outline a strategic plan for ten or even decades later, and he always thought that this was just a move to resettle He Lanxiong and himself!

"Don't underestimate the king's heart." He Lanxiong said with a smile.

Zhao Xilie was a little surprised.

"Then what are we going to do next?"

"The foundation has been laid. In two years, we have taken root here. Next, we will naturally develop. The Northwest will not only become a barrier for the great Han, but also become a forward base for the great Han to march one day. Civil affairs and military affairs are two parts. You are in charge of civil affairs. This is the most important part. If you think about it, you have to understand that our first step is to feed these hundreds of thousands of people, food, water conservancy, transportation, step by step. Chong has become an important town in the northwest, and I focus on military affairs. First, I plan to expand the number of cavalry to about 10,000, and then use one to two years to turn them into a strong and brave army. Before preparing to march, our army must be able to defend our achievements in the northwest."

"The commander is saying that before this, the enemy may attack?"

"Who can say for sure? For example, Wang Jian~IndoMTL.com~ If he can really control the area opposite and thus sit big, then he has no intention of returning to his homeland? Besides, the former king faintly Jojo raised his nose and said that there are many powerful regimes in the far distance. Will they invade us across the desert? This is all uncertain, so we have to look forward I want to, but I must prepare for the worst.”

Zhao Xilie nodded: "Commander is right." After thinking for a while, he sighed again: "When our eyes were still limited to this small area in front of us, His Majesty's vision has already focused on us without even thinking about it." Perhaps this is the reason why the big man can rise so quickly and look down on the world!"

"Yes, sometimes I wonder if this person is a god-man descended from the world, otherwise, how could he know so many things that we have never even thought about." He Lanxiong said with emotion: "For example, our water Master, brother Zhao, I am afraid that our navy is so powerful now that you would never have imagined it."

"Compared to Chu people?" Zhao Xilie asked.

He Lanxiong laughed loudly, "What are the Chu people's navy? If our navy is a sea dragon, the Chu people's navy is at best a small loach!" (To be continued...)
