Take the earth to enshrine the gods

Chapter 227

"Thank you King Qin for your kindness, I don't need it for now." Tantai Mengge declined politely.

This girl is quite proud.

Qian Yuan smiled in his heart, "It doesn't matter, your lord can mention it at any time if you need it."

"Thank you."

Saying that, Tantai Mengge walked away in a little bit of embarrassment.

July 25.

Not long after Qianyuan returned to the fiefdom, the army took action.

On this day, the Zhou Qing Department stationed in Jiwei Mansion joined the Second Brigade of the Security Division stationed in Tengshe Pass, and suddenly launched a fierce attack on the opposite Heibao Pass.

With the cooperation of the Xuangui chariot, the pass was conquered within a day and [-] enemies were killed.

This made Zhulong Kingdom extremely angry.

In the Qingqiu battle, Zhulong Kingdom and Zhaoyao County had already formed a relationship, and now Zhaoyao County is doing this again, which is basically hitting Zhulong Country in the face.

He didn't take the Zhulong Kingdom's army seriously.

However, the strategic focus of the Zhulong Kingdom has now shifted to attacking the Dagan West Territory, and the mobilization of soldiers, horses, food and grass is basically ready. If it is now to attack Zhaoyao County and readjust its strategy, it will be very troublesome.

Zhu Longguo could only temporarily swallow this bad breath.

As everyone knows, Qianyuan chose to win the Black Leopard Pass at this time, because he was sure that Zhulong Kingdom did not have the energy to launch a large-scale revenge action, so he had nothing to fear.

It is difficult for Zhulong Kingdom not to lose if it is intentional and unintentional.

This local war did not attract much attention in the empire, and it did not even cause any waves in the southwest region, because people's attention was all on the chaos of the two kings.

Whether it is the king of Wei or the king of Chu, after gaining a firm foothold in the local area, the first thing to do is to reorganize the armament, recruit new soldiers, and prepare to expand the army.

In order to increase the capital to fight against the imperial court.

It is reported that Wei Wang Qiantai plans to expand the three divisions in one go, expanding the first army to eight divisions, with a total of [-] troops.

Naturally, King Ganke of Chu was unwilling to be reconciled, and he also ambitiously proposed the idea of ​​expanding the army by [-] troops, which was really more brutal than the other.

You must know that the Fourth Army has just expanded a division, and now it will add three new divisions. In addition to the newly rebuilt Second Division, more than half of the army will be recruits.

The level of madness is already comparable to that of the sect's servant army.

What is even more ironic is that what supported the expansion of the two chaotic kings was the huge amount of strategic materials that the empire had stored in the arsenals of the counties, including a large number of idle weapons and armor.

There is no need to rebuild at all, the existing inventory can meet their expansion needs.

In order to support such a large army, the two chaotic kings also increased the taxation of the land under their jurisdiction, directly doubling it.To serve their aristocratic family is also a rich contribution, a powerful contribution.

Some families who were not very knowledgeable were directly confiscated by the two chaos kings. While eliminating hidden dangers and establishing their authority, a large amount of money seized was used as a military gesture.

The entire western and southern borders were mobilized.

As the two rebel kings reorganized their armaments and purchased war supplies on a large scale, the prices of spiritual rice, leather, refined iron, elixirs, spiritual herbs, etc. on the market began to increase.

Demand exceeds supply.

Those well-connected big families, with the help of the chambers of commerce they controlled, changed hands to earn back the donated money, and even had a surplus, making a lot of war fortune.

It only suffers from small and medium-sized aristocratic families and ordinary people.

There is no doubt that the two kings will not be satisfied with the status quo, and there are indications that the flames of civil war will soon be ignited.

This made the people of the empire very anxious, not only worried about being involved in the vortex of war, being implicated, but also worried about the future and destiny of the empire.

Times are getting tougher.

…………

On the first day of August, Zhaozhao City.

After the army took the Black Leopard Pass, Tian Caosi proposed a plan to transform the pass.

Tian Caosi is going to give full play to the advantages of the fief's reinforced concrete, and take advantage of the fiefdom's infrastructure advantages to integrate Heibaoguan and Tengsheguan into a super fortress, which will serve as the strongest fortress for the fiefdom to resist the invasion of the monster race.

The name of the fort is Teng Snake, that is, Teng Snake Fortress.

The whole fortress is divided into three parts, the front, middle and back, namely the outpost base, the central headquarters, and the logistics base, which span the entire canyon to maximize the defensive effectiveness.

The outpost was the original Heibaoguan, where two battalions were stationed as an early warning and reconnaissance force.

The logistics base is the original Tengsheguan, where the troops of the two battalions are also stationed. The granaries, arsenals, weapon and armor repair workshops, school grounds, horse farms and other facilities serving the fortress garrison are all located here.

The central command headquarters will be a newly built building located in the center of the canyon. It will also be the building with the strongest defensive capabilities of the fortress. The city wall will have reinforced concrete as the inner core, up to 20 meters thick, and will be inlaid with a layer of three-meter-thick precision concrete on the outside. Iron, carved defensive formations.

In addition to stationing a battalion of troops at the headquarters, there will also be a permanent squad of monks.

As for the defense equipment, there are as many as twelve cannons in the spiritual fortress, and the defensive facilities such as arrow towers and monk towers are densely designed.

The most important thing is that Tian Caosi is going to build a small defensive formation at the central headquarters as the strongest defense force for the fortress.

If it is really built, even if the demon king leads his troops to attack, it may not be able to conquer it. It can be said to be the strongest fortress in the Zulong mountain range, and it will become the strongest barrier for the fiefdom to resist the invasion of the monster race.

In order to build the Tengshe Fortress, Qianyuan not only approved the construction funds of 50 taels of silver and 20 Lingshi, but also appropriated a sum of precious formation materials from the internal treasury.

It can be said that it has paid enough blood.

The purpose is to solve the problem of the demon clan once and for all so that he can concentrate on dealing with the civil war of the human race. While the Soaring Snake Fortress is being built, the combat strategy formulated by Guo Jia is also being steadily implemented.

The first step is to play Qianyuan to the court.

The new emperor had already issued an edict, hoping that the Southwest Corps would cooperate with the Third Army, and launch an attack on the southern border before the Fourth Army had completed its expansion.

Qian Yuan thought that it was not the best time yet.

In the memorial, Qianyuan suggested that the imperial court should first mobilize the city guards and the Third Army to encircle and suppress the Kunlun faction and capture Kunwu County to make it a solid barrier south of Zhongzhou.

Conquer Kunwu County first, and then attack the southern border, and fight steadily, without giving the King of Chu any opportunity.

The words are conclusive and sincere.

In Shendu, after reading the memorial on Qianyuan, the new emperor Qianshen also hesitated, summoned Wu Wujiaoyang, Shangshu of the Ministry of War overnight, and asked, "What do you think, what is King Qin's suggestion?"

The fifth scorching sun thought for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, Kunwu County is bordered by the Western Region, the Southern Region and Zhaoyao County at the same time. Being able to open up the connection between Shendu and Zhaoyao County can be said to kill three birds with one stone."

The implication is that Fifth Scorching Sun agrees with Qian Yuan's proposal.

When the fifth scorching sun said this, the new emperor Qianshen was also moved. He thought further. Right now, only the three prefectures of Zhongzhou, Gushe County, Donghai County and Shaoyang County are really under the control of the imperial court.

But they have to support the Imperial Guard, the City Guard, and the Second and Fourth Legions.

After years of fighting, the national treasury was not abundant. In the long run, the imperial court did not even have enough financial resources to support this huge army.

But the enemy is still frantically expanding its army.

Kunwu County is a traditionally prosperous county. If this county can be won, it will greatly improve the finances.

The fifth scorching sun followed and said: "Your Majesty, compared to the uncontrollable battle in the southern border, attacking Kunwu County is almost a win-win situation, and it can be won quickly, which will greatly boost morale."

The new emperor Qianshen's eyes flashed, and he immediately understood what Fifth Scorching Sun had to say.
