The next moment, the shadows of swords and swords and the sound of shouting and killing in the king's tent suddenly rang out.
Almost at the same time, there were also extremely dense shouts of killing outside the tent.
Chapter 36 Yili City is a good place! (Second more)
Yili City.
To say it is a city is actually somewhat reluctant.
After all, this so-called Yili City is actually just a simple tamping with some soil, and then barely reaching a height of one foot, which is almost the same.
As long as some simple preparations are made, even cavalry can easily rush to this so-called "city head".
But Zhao Kuo is not worried about this at all.
At this moment, Zhao Kuo still has more than 8000 Zhao cavalrymen and nearly [-] horses under his command. Such a force in his hands gives Zhao Kuo endless confidence.
It's fine if he doesn't beat others, but he is afraid that others will attack the city?
Yili City is located in a vast river valley with an area of hundreds of miles. Not far from the south of the city is a big river. Of course, this big river was named Yili River by Zhao Kuo.
For Zhao Kuo and the [-] Zhao cavalry under his command, since I occupy this place, of course this place must be named according to my preferences, there is nothing wrong with it.
"This is really a good place!" Standing on the top of the city, Zhao Kuo looked at the surrounding clear water and green mountains, and couldn't help but let out a sigh from the heart.
You can even farm here!
Yes, the fertile and vast land, the wide river with huge water flow, and the fertile land without any trace of cultivation are simply the best treasure land that farmers in the Central Plains dream of.
In this river valley, at least two-thirds of the land is as fertile as Shangtian in the Central Plains!
"This place can support at least 1 people, no, 3 to [-] people are not a problem, General!" Zhao Kuo still remembers the dancing expression on his face when his quartermaster said this to him. .
What's even more wonderful is that in addition to farming, this area can also be used for grazing!
In the western half of the Ili River Valley, that is, towards the direction of the Bactria region, there is a large piece of fertile grassland. The grassland here extends westward for about a hundred miles, and the area is also quite large.
After only a few days of rough understanding, Zhao Kuo came to a very positive conclusion in his heart. Just relying on the resources of this place, it is enough to supply a fortress city with at least [-] soldiers and civilians, and it can also include [-] cavalry!
"This is simply the treasure land given to us by God Taiyi!!!" This is not the first time Zhao Kuo has expressed such emotion.
In addition to emotion, there are actually some doubts.
"Speaking of which, it seems that the king has never left the land of Zhao State. How did he know that there is such a place with such rich water and grass in a place thousands of miles away?"
Of course, this place is not something that Zhao Kuo can find casually. In fact, this is the place where Li Mu wanted Zhao Kuo to be stationed, and Li Mu told Zhao Kuo at the time that this Yili City was named by Zhao Dan. down place.
After much deliberation, Zhao Kuo can only attribute this to the strength of Hu Yiwei. After all, Zhao Kuo can be regarded as a "quasi" high-level member of the Zhao military. some.
Thinking of this, Zhao Kuo felt a little excited again.
"Speaking of which, I really didn't expect that behind this vast desert and towering mountains, there is such a place like a paradise. It's really amazing. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, those ministers in Handan would never have thought of it. Is there such a rich land comparable to the Central Plains thousands of miles away? It seems that the westward strategy mentioned by the king is really not just a waste of people and money out of thin air."
"By the way, your majesty also mentioned the country of India. It is said that the country of India is at least ten times richer than the Western Regions. I don't know what the situation in that place is like."
Thinking about it, Zhao Kuo suddenly couldn't help laughing: "Why do you think so much? Anyway, sooner or later, I will win and conquer this land of India for the king. Don't you know when the time comes?"
Zhao Kuo jumped up from the low wall, and kicked a barbarian captive hard on the ass: "Work hard, don't be lazy!"
Building a city, of course, requires a lot of labor.
Zhao Kuo's head had never been kicked by a horse's hoof, so of course he would not let the [-] elite Zhao cavalry under his command be used as migrant workers for city construction.
That being the case, it can only be found from the outside.
As a land rich in water and grass, there are dozens of nomadic tribes in the Ili River Valley. They surrendered to Diodotus, the governor of Bactria in the eastern part of the Seleucid Empire, and paid tribute regularly every year. In exchange for the right to graze here.
This situation naturally changed after Zhao Kuo led more than 8000 Zhao Jun cavalry with high spirits to this place.
In just a few days, the few thousand cavalry sent by Zhao Kuo swept over half of the Ili River Valley like the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves, and defeated at least [-]% of the Hu people's nomadic tribes in the Ili River Valley.
Therefore, in the current Yili City, there are more than 1 Hu slaves working hard, contributing to the construction of Zhao Guo's Yili City.
It is also thanks to these tribes that Zhao Kuo's already very tight logistics problems have been greatly alleviated.
Zhao Kuo crossed his arms, stood under the city wall for a while and watched the hard work of these barbarians who looked like little bees, and his mood became very good unconsciously.
This is a city built by me, Zhao Kuo, and it is also a city built without using any manpower from Zhao Guo!
"General, general!" A shout suddenly came from a distance, Zhao Kuo raised his head, just in time to see his quartermaster approaching from a distance with a happy face.
"what's up?"
"General, the statistics have been calculated just now. People from all major chambers of commerce have already bid, and all prices are here. Please also check and use the seal. After the general has finished using the seal, I will send this seal immediately. Report to the governor and the king."
When Zhao Kuo heard that this was the case, he couldn't help but smile.
After Zhao Kuo saw clearly the surprising prices on the watch and the amount of money that should be shared by the defenders of Ili City indicated on it, his mood became better.
So Zhao Kuo quickly took out a seal from his body, dipped it in the inkpad and stamped it hard.
On the red inkpad are the seven big characters "Ili General Zhao Kuoyin".
Zhao Kuo raised his head with a smile, and was about to say something when suddenly a rush of horseshoes caught his attention.
A moment later, Zhao Kuo's personal guard captain appeared in front of Zhao Kuo with a barbarian with a high nose and deep eyes.
"General, I have already contacted the Perseus family. This person is the messenger of the Perseus family and claims to be able to help our army break through the city of Bactria!"
Chapter 37 Messenger and Negligence (first update)
Zhao Kuo's eyes lit up all of a sudden: "Then what are you waiting for, don't hurry up and bring him to me!"
After a while, several barbarians with high noses and sunken eyes appeared in front of Zhao Kuo, and they all saluted Zhao Kuo respectfully.
Zhao Kuo set his sights on one of the barbarians: "Kretas, tell me."
Logically speaking, if you want to contact the Perseus family, then Perseus himself should be the best and most convincing choice.
However, Li Mu was obviously unwilling to do so.
In fact, Perseus himself is still following Li Mu's army towards the north, preparing for a decisive battle with the Huns.
It was impossible for Perseus to come to the land of Ili before the Huns were suppressed.
Even after the Huns were pacified, it is unknown whether Perseus would appear in the Bactria region.
Since Perseus cannot return to the city of Bactera, the task of contacting the Perseus family can only be done by Zhao Kuo.
