Chapter 367

The vast grassland in the North whistling, once looked at the endless green grass, this time a trace of yellow.

It's autumn, and the cold winter of the year will not be far away.

as he rides on the vast grassland, Xiao Ming looks at the land once occupied by the barbarians and has a lot of emotion in his heart.

Almost three years later, he finally drove the threat of northern feudalism out of Shanhaiguan. From then on, the grassland outside Cangzhou will become his horse breeding land and plantation.

After the restoration of the Jizhou rebellion, he returned to Qingzhou. After five or six days, he received the news of breaking the mountain customs.

To his surprise, without rest, he rushed to the mountain customs all night to have a look at the most powerful pass in the world that once belonged to the state of Dayu.

"Your Highness, you see, here comes the governor Niu

Zhan Xingchang pointed to the front and said.

After recovering Shanhai Pass, Xiao Ming decided to strengthen it and make it a thorough fortress.

So he took the construction camp of Cangzhou City to Shanhaiguan and let Zhan Xingchang take charge of it.

At the same time, their fortress promotion strategy will continue to be implemented, they will build fortresses along the Shanhaiguan line, and gradually reduce the survival area of the barbarians.

The Jizhou war made Xiao Ming see the ferocity of the Golden Horde, and he had to pay attention to this opponent.

The fierce and fearless charge of the barbarian soldiers made his generals tremble.

What's more, Beishan almost destroyed Jizhou with his own blood wolf tribe this time. Jin Wuwei and his Qingzhou army would have won miserably if Beishan had not been injured by the shell.

If so, he would not be able to take advantage of this opportunity to seize the mountain customs, and then change the offensive and defensive trend.

"Your Highness."

Niu Zhen and others soon arrived in front of them. They were all very excited, and obviously they were still intoxicated in the joy of seizing Shanhaiguan.

"Please forgive me. Now you are the most meritorious officials. I'm going to salute you." Xiao Ming said with a smile.

It's a sunny day with a broad vision and a pleasant mood. In addition to the victory, Xiao Ming's mood is even better.

When they heard the words, their faces became more and more happy.

At this time, Niu Zhen said: "Your Highness, the front is Shanhai Pass, but the front gate was blown open by us, and it was seriously damaged."

"So I brought you the construction camp. With them, Shanhaiguan will be stronger than Cangzhou in a few months."

Luo Xin is a look at the artillery behind the long line, he was surprised, "Your Highness, this time sent a lot of artillery."

"It's not much. It's just 200 guns. This construction camp will build two fortresses near Shanhaiguan. These guns are prepared for the fortress. I want to make this mountain customs an insurmountable barrier for the barbarians."

At this time, Xiao Ming was so ambitious that he got the Shanhaiguan Pass, and his fiefdom was really safe. From then on, he didn't have to worry about living, and he could always develop safely.

However, he also understood that although the barbarians were defeated this time, their strength was still strong.

Because of this, he brought the construction camp to repair Shanhaiguan. Now that he's got it back, he can't lose it any more.

Entering Shanhaiguan from the bombed city wall, Xiao Ming and Zhan Xingchang patrol the city under the leadership of Niu Zhen.

Outside Shanhaiguan is a high city wall, behind which is a complete military town.

Now because of the war, this military town has been seriously damaged.

"This military town is a little small. Since it has been destroyed, it's better to rebuild it and directly extend each side of the city wall to five li long." Xiao Ming pondered for a moment and looked at Zhan Xingchang.

"Your Highness said that judging from the Jizhou war, the barbarians still have a strong ability to hijack grain roads. Therefore, to expand the military towns, we should build more granaries, so that the military towns, like other prefectures and counties, should prepare at least three years of war food."

Zhan Xingchang sees Xiao Ming's idea.

"Three years!" Lu Fei laughed. "It's a good idea. If we are besieged, we are not afraid of nothing to eat. When we were in Jizhou, we almost ran out of food."

Xiao Ming and Zhan Xingchang laugh at the same time. A solid city has three years of grain reserves. Any enemy will have a headache.

When they talked about the food, they also talked about the armory, ammunition depot and other necessary facilities in the military town.

After the agreement, Niu Zhen said, "Your Highness, now that you have won Shanhaiguan, what should we do about the garrison?"

Xiao Ming understands Niu Zhen's meaning. The Qingzhou army can't stay at Shanhaiguan all the time. After all, the domestic situation in Dayu is complicated. The most elite Qingzhou army should defend the important area of Qingzhou.

"Now the pressure on the front line of Cangzhou is much less. Let the Cangzhou army be on top first, but this is not a lasting strategy. After all, the army of each state has its own responsibilities." Xiao Ming frowned.

Niu Zhen and Lu Fei, Luo Xin exchanged eyes and said: "Your Highness, I have a suggestion. I don't know if I should say it properly?"

"Just say it." Xiao Ming took a picture of the wall of the mountain customs."In this battle including customs, about 35000 slave soldiers surrendered and captured many slave soldiers in Jizhou battlefield. These slave soldiers are young and high-quality soldiers. It's better to select their elite to form gongweishan customs of Youzhou army."

Niu Zhen and Lu Fei once participated in the battle of Youzhou, and they have strong feelings for Youzhou.

Lu Fei also said: "Your Highness, just like Guan Ning's cavalry, the people who hate the barbarians most are Youzhou people. These slave soldiers refuse to yield to the barbarians only because they are cruelly oppressed by the barbarians. Now they escape from the control of the barbarians, and they only have hatred for the Barbarians. Now they choose some elite men to build a strong army, which will inevitably become a nightmare for the barbarians. ”

"Youzhou city!" Xiao Ming suddenly remembered.

The slave soldiers driven by the barbarians came from Youzhou City, which was called "sheep pen" by the barbarians.

These slaves were born on the land of Youzhou, and they were oppressed by barbarians since childhood. He still remembers the tragic scenes thunder once told him.

In a hurry to Shanhaiguan this time, he didn't go to Youzhou City, because the barbarians who ruled them for more than ten years have gone, and Xiao Ming is not sure what people in Youzhou city will think of him now.

"What do the slave soldiers think?" Xiao Ming asked.

"Your Highness, it was many slave soldiers who proposed to join our Qingzhou army to kill barbarians that we mentioned it." Niu said.

Zhan Xingchang said to Xiao Ming, "Your Highness, I don't think you should be too hasty about this. These slave soldiers are unidentified and uneven. They must be strictly examined to confirm that they are from Youzhou. Only when they really hate the barbarians, can they join the army. Otherwise, if those who have the intention to commit crimes mix into the army, the mountain customs will be in danger."
