Chapter 632 A Prophecy

Shen Zhezi's troops finally stationed in Quanjiao near Tushui, which already belongs to the upper reaches of Tushui, and is also a fringe area of ​​the large hills on the right side of Huaihe River. Rolling hills to the right.

Up to now, the generals of Shen Zhezi's troops also vaguely understood the fact that their Eastern Route Army should have missed the chance to participate in the battle to recover Hefei if nothing happened.This was a great disappointment to Shen Mu, Xie Yi and other young generals who were eager to fight.However, veteran generals like Lu Yong seemed to be quite obviously relieved.

The lack of attitude explains the problem. Shen Zhezi doesn't think that those young people who are dedicated to fighting can really surpass Lu Yong and other veterans in military affairs. Awe.

Even so, Shen Zhezi did not relax his vigilance. If a war broke out in Hefei, the defense he was stationed in was one of the directions that the rout troops might attack.And he doesn't think that Huang Quan has the heart to defend Hefei. If he really encounters a rout, his combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.

Therefore, after arriving in Quanjiao, Shen Zhezi found out that the old city was no longer usable. Based on the information and information collected by Du He earlier, supplemented by on-the-spot investigation, Shen Zhezi quickly selected a camp to station in.

The terrain of this camp is excellent. The northwest is surrounded by rolling hills. Tushui flows around the north slope, and a few miles away to the south is a tributary of Tushui. land.

After choosing the right location, the soldiers began to build the building, digging ditches and laying soil to build a grand framework.After the military battalion arrived at the back road and took over the follow-up work, the soldiers pulled out and continued their daily drills.

On the sloping ground, several riders were galloping. Shen Mu rode his horse over a rock that was more than half a person high.

However, there was no complacent expression on his face. Lemarton was on the slope, pointing his horsewhip at the large busy construction site down the slope, and said resentful words: "I thought I came across the river to get rid of the trivial things in the capital. Fighting fiercely and killing slaves, I didn't expect to build a city in a different place! How is this different from being in the capital?"

Several other people stepped forward, and there were many sighs, but after Shen Mu turned to look at the people nearby, he spat again: "It's better to be in the capital, where you can have sex with prostitutes in your free time! In this barren hills and wasteland , surrounded by wretched wretches!"

As soon as these words came out, the feelings of sympathy and sympathy in the hearts of several people disappeared immediately, and they spat at Shen Mu again and again: "Shen Er, what a beautiful posture you have, and you have the face to laugh at others!"

"It's really disgusting to speak viciously and contemptuously!"

Being besieged by everyone, Shen Mu couldn't stand it immediately, he rammed his horse towards Shen Yun who was also denouncing him with righteous words, and said angrily: "Shen Yunraccoon, you are not the commander of my battalion, why are you here to join in the fun? Go back to your camp!"

Shen Yun turned sideways to dodge, originally he was a bit afraid of brother, but after staying in the camp for a long time, he developed a posture of arrogance, waved his horsewhip in his hand and laughed loudly: "Everyone is telling the truth, whether I am here or not, ah Brother can't even look pretty!"

Hearing this, several people couldn't help laughing.Shen Mu was even more embarrassed. He chased after him and wanted to teach this bad boy who had demolished his family. Shen Yun couldn't avoid it, and kept begging for forgiveness. In the end, he could only use other topics to divert everyone's attention: "Houzhenji literature has arrived. , He and the general are the most compatible, what we say together is all guesswork, if we can catch Ji Wenxue and torture him, we will know what the general is planning!"

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard the words, and after a little calculation, they all turned and rushed towards the camp by the river.

Because Ji You had to escort more supplies in the back road, he arrived much later, especially among these supplies, besides the most important food, grass and military equipment, there were many that he felt were completely unnecessary.Although the waterway along the way has been initially dredged by the front line, it is still intermittent, and the journey along the way can be described as hard work.

However, seeing many strongholds built by Shen Zhezi's former army along the way, he probably understood that the focus of this trip to the north was not to wipe out the enemy, but to re-operate this area and rule the land.

Although he already had such a cognition, when he actually arrived here, he was still surprised by the posture planned by Shen Zhezi.Just looking at the scale of the fortress that has been outlined, where the fortress is being built, it is clearly to build a majestic city!

So after seeing Shen Zhezi, Ji You couldn't bear to complain: "Weizhou, are you addicted to fun? Now that the building has not been completed yet, you have to cross the river to build it? This is not the pure land of Jiangdong, here Building a city in an enclave is really..."

Shen Zhezi smiled when he heard the words, and said: "Now it is the void on the right side of the Huai River, and there are few slaves walking on it. It is suitable to build high. If you change the time, you may not have a good opportunity again."

He naturally understands how difficult it is to build a city in Huaiyou, a remote place, not to mention the huge consumption of materials, the number of people needed is almost an impossible task in the left and right.But if there is no city to rely on, no matter how much Jiangbei invests, it will be a floating board on the water. Once the wind and rain hit, it will be empty in an instant!

Regardless of how much investment this city needs, once it is completed, the original Liyang defense line can be pushed all the way to the upper reaches of Tushui, connecting with Hefei and Guangling on the left and right wings, activating the entire Huaiyou water network, and garrisoning along the river. A solid forward base.

The entire Tushui River Valley can be steadily filled and developed one after another. As long as the initial difficulties are overcome, large areas of uninhabited barren land will become liquid ointments, which will continuously inject nutrients for the subsequent Northern Expedition.

Of course, Shen Zhezi also understands that the biggest hidden danger of this huge plan is the initial difficulties.Even if it can receive continuous supplies from Wuzhong Capital in terms of material resources, if it wants to operate on a large scale, it is difficult to see results without several years of solid investment.And once the large-scale southward plundering of Jie Nu occurs, it is very likely that this plan will die.

Therefore, when Shen Zhezi implemented this plan, he also undertook a lot of pressure. He had to assume that Jie Nu would not sweep south on a large scale during this period.As for its support, it is naturally the unstable situation within Jiehu, and the death of Shi Le next year.

But Shen Zhezi is not sure whether there will be variables in this.But even if you are not sure, what should be done is still done.Things are not perfect, since you have a greater chance of winning, it is really not appropriate to be too conservative.The old route of the Northern Expedition, from Guangling to Huaisi, or from Xiangyang to the Central Plains, is not under his control.

Now that Yuzhou has been selected, this transfer station is very important.If there is no core of this area to radiate the surrounding area, then the entire Huaiyou water network will not be able to be used, and it will fall into a vicious circle of digging ditches every time it goes north.Moreover, the no man's land in Huaiyou will continue to be deserted, lengthening the entire supply line.

Therefore, in Shen Zhezi's view, building a city upstream by painting water is more important than harvesting compound fertilizer.It is true that starting with Hefei can guarantee the important waterway of Chaohu Lake, but the radiation to the east of Hefei is seriously insufficient, which is not enough to guarantee a stable Jiangbei base.Moreover, the current strength is not enough to win Huainan in one fell swoop, so this choice is an aggressive and conservative one.

No matter how majestic the fortress was, it was built by manpower. Liu Fu was able to build Hefei City alone, and Shen Zhezi now had much stronger resources than Liu Fu did back then, so naturally he had no reason to be afraid of difficulties.

When Shen Mu and others rushed to the place where Ji You was camping, just as Shen Zhezi was leaving the camp, they bumped into each other.The expressions of those few people can be described as wonderful, the horses in the camp made a lot of noise, and they were arrested one by one, stripped of their armor and whipped.

"I will be punished for breaking the ban. But can the general tell you when you can go to the battle to kill the enemy in person?"

Hearing that these people were still stubbornly fighting after being whipped, Shen Zhezi felt a little helpless. Compared with the fierce battle, the current state of his troops was really boring.However, this desire to fight is really not easy to hit. After pondering for a long time, he still comforted: "Stay true to this ambition, and the time to fight is not far away."

Not long after he finished speaking, Shen Zhezi felt that his words had become a prophecy. Qian Feng, who was one step ahead of him, sent someone to send a message that Huang Quan might abandon Hefei and turn to Tuzhong.And if Huang Quan turned to Tu Zhong, Shen Zhezi would just stop him on his way!

In other words, the main force of Yu Yi's Yuzhou Army is likely to be defeated in Hefei, and Shen Zhezi's flanking division will collide head-on with Huang Quan's direct descendants!
