"Build water conservancy projects, reclaim wilderness, and have both soldiers and civilians, then the east of the Yangtze River will be settled." Sun Zhizhi pondered for a moment, then immediately reacted and asked Lu Meng: "You mean military settlements?"

Lu Meng immediately nodded and said: "The general has now arrived at Wucheng, and then goes south to Qiantang and will enter Kuaiji County. But does the general have a way to determine Kuaiji now?"

Sun Ce had to admit that this little guy's vision was still very accurate. Let alone being able to decide on Kuaiji now, even if he were to attack Kuaiji, he would be unable to do anything.

The reason that hinders Sun Ce is also very simple: insufficient logistics.

If we hope to seize thousands of stones of grain from powerful tribes and attack Kuaiji County, then even if we are invincible, tens of thousands of troops will just walk away and disappear.

Because the marching range from Wu County to Kuaiji County is really too broad!

Grain was transported from Wu County to Dongye County in the south of Kuaiji County, which is equivalent to transporting grain from Jiangsu Province in later generations across Zhejiang Province and then to Fujian.

It would be so troublesome to just attack Kuaiji County. What is even more troublesome is that the resistance in Kuaiji County is far more intense than that in Wu County, and rebellions are also coming one after another.

Gu Yong, the majestic Prime Minister of Eastern Wu, was sitting here, and he had to constantly lead troops to put down the rebellion.

He Qi was ordered to do so at the critical moment, and led his troops to fight day and night to stabilize the situation.

If a rebellion breaks out in Kuaiji County, troops and grain reinforcements must be sent from Wu County, which is equivalent to Sun Ce's army having to move across half of the south of the Yangtze River every time. It will greatly restrict the energy of the entire force.

Therefore, Sun Ce did not regard Lu Meng as a child at this moment, but as a weak genius like the Great Sima Huo Qubing, and asked: "In your opinion, how should we deploy it?"

Lu Meng immediately said: "Yuhang, Qiantang is close to Zhejiang, and there are good fields under the soil. If we can build water conservancy here and divert the water to the east, one acre of revenue can be used as military expenses, which can save about five acres of rice fields in Wuxian County. Ten thousand people can be stationed there."

In Yuhang, 10,000 people are stationed in Qiantang, and the water is always harvested. After taking into account the public expenses, one million dan can be obtained at the end of the year for military supplies. This can be used by more than 10,000 cavalry throughout the year! In this way, the food of Wu County is supplied to the north, Qiantang

Since the food supply is difficult, Kuaiji County no longer needs the general to worry about it."

Sun Ce nodded, Qiantang has been prosperous since ancient times, and Lu Meng's plan is a long-term solution.

But before Sun Ce could speak, the school captain Sun Bi, who was standing next to Sun Ce, could no longer stand Lu Meng's boastful talk, and scolded him: "A child with a breast mouth dares to talk on paper. Yu Hang, if the land of Qiantang can really have this advantage, how much more do you need?"

"A general who doesn't know the weather and the right terrain is a mediocre person! He knows nothing about the geography of the two counties, yet he dares to speak so loudly."

Several generals from the south of the Yangtze River next to them also laughed: "Amon, if the general doesn't praise you a few words, just think that you are truly the most talented person in the world. You still have a lot to learn! The first is Yuhang, Qiantang and Qiantang are seriously flooded and are not suitable for

Reclaim the fields!”

"If we really give you 20,000 people to cultivate the fields, I'm afraid that next year, instead of being able to accumulate grain, I will have to provide you with grain, which will become a drag."

Lu Meng now has a character that is not afraid of heaven and earth. When others laugh at him, he immediately becomes angry and sternly replies: "That's why we need to build water conservancy! If water conservancy is not built, are you waiting for the divine power to descend and turn Qiantang into a land of abundance?"

"Good!" Sun Ce was instantly emboldened and roared: "Amon's words are very ambitious! If we don't build water conservancy, how can this Qiantang become a blessed land, a land of fish and rice?"

Qiantang has been prosperous since ancient times, with hundreds of thousands of houses scattered around. Clouds and trees surround the embankment and sand. Raging waves roll up the frost and snow, and the sky is boundless. The city is lined with pearls, and the households are filled with Luoqi, competing for luxury.

Could it be that all of this is naturally occurring?

Of course not! It was someone who controlled the flood in Qiantang, and then the prosperity here has existed since ancient times.

And since floods can be cured sooner or later, why can’t they be cured by themselves?

If Su Shi had not been born, would the Qiantang floods have lasted for three thousand years?

If Su Shi could cure the flood in Qiantang, he could also cure it!

Of course, Su Shi was not the only one responsible for Yuhang and Qiantang's flood problems. Bai Juyi and Fan Zhongyan also built Qiantang water conservancy projects time and time again.

The methods of these people are generally similar, which is to dig out the silt from the West Lake, build a hundred-mile long embankment, and set up sluices to drain away the trouble.

In short, building a siege, dredging the river, and installing a sluice were all three like a tripod, each of which was indispensable. On this basis, Fan Zhongyan led 40,000 people to complete the project in just one year.

Sun Ce immediately thought of Liu You, the captain of Diannong under his command. He was interested in water conservancy and had trained a group of water conservancy talents in the Shicheng County water conservancy project in Danyang.

Sun Ce solemnly said: "I will transfer Captain Dian Nong to personally take charge of the water conservancy construction and military settlement matters in Yuhang and Qiantang, so as to save food and grass for the attack on Kuaiji County next year!"

Sun Ben did not expect that Sun Ce would really support this whimsical idea, and immediately said: "Bo Fu, why bother so much? I don't say whether there will be a flood next year, but there are only 20,000 troops stationed young and strong. Bo Fu plans to come

Where to collect?”

Sun Ce's attitude was resolute: "We cannot wait until a flood occurs before making temporary remedies. Regardless of whether there will be a flood in Qiantang next year, the year after or even within five years, the construction of water conservancy projects must start immediately! As for the 20,000 troops stationed in young and strong..."

Sun Ce laughed. In these troubled times, are you afraid that you won't be able to find a lot of young people?

He then pointed his sword to the south and said fiercely: "The powerful rebellion in the south has risen. They are gathering everywhere, with thousands or even tens of thousands of troops. There are countless people! Wang Sheng alone has more than ten thousand troops. All officers and men, please defeat this traitor for me."

, gather together, become the king and dominate the world!"

The officers and soldiers of the three armies immediately stood upright, and the sound of their heels approaching in order was as majestic as thunder.

Under Sun Ce's awe-inspiring will, the army marched to Wubao, the second rebel stronghold in Wucheng County, the next day.

The towering fire at Mu's Wubao has long been detected by the rebels.

As soon as Sun Ce's army arrived, the rebellious heroes sent envoys to ask for surrender and asked Sun Ce to spare his life.

But Sun Ce refused directly and ordered an attack on the city, which would inevitably punish the entire rebellious and powerful clan.

In this attack on the city, Sun Ce finally used his main force.

Zhou Tai led more than 800 elite Xuanjia troops to directly ascend the city under the cover of more than 2,000 crossbowmen.

Two thousand archers lined up under the fort, more than twice as many as the entire rebellious force.

The arrows blocked the sun, and there was no room for even a foothold on the barrier.

The strength of this powerful place is far inferior to that of the Miu clan. Under the attack of the dense arrow formation, dozens of troops collapsed and fled to the city, which even caused a chaos above the barrier.

Zhou Tai immediately seized the fighting opportunity, picked up the battle ax himself, and climbed onto the city wall wearing heavy armor.

It only took half an hour for the army to stand firmly at the top of the city, and it was only a matter of time to break through Wubao.

But at this time, the scouts finally came with good news. Cheng Zi ran to Sun Ce himself and said excitedly: "General, from the northeast, a large force is rushing towards this place."

The generals who gathered around Sun Ce were also happy. They all gathered their troops here to prevent the powerful people in Wucheng County from collaborating with other powerful people.

However, what the army is not afraid of most is enemy reinforcements. Instead, it is afraid that the enemy will defend Wubao and gather everywhere.

Chen Wu immediately asserted: "General, this must be reinforcements sent by Wang Sheng! I said that with the power of Wucheng County, how could he dare to rebel? It turned out to be rebellion and collusion between inside and outside. I asked the cavalry to go and delay the rebellion.

Their marching speed."

Sun Ce waved his hand and said decisively: "No! Today we will fight on two fronts at the same time. We will attack the city and defeat Wang Sheng's support army at the same time. Wipe out this rebellion, and our battle to pacify Wu County will end quickly!"

"

Several captains immediately stepped forward and asked for orders: "General, I'm going to defeat this thief!"

"I will destroy this thief for the general!"

The generals were happy when they heard about the battle, and their military morale was ready. Sun Ce was very pleased, and immediately ordered: "Qingyue is the captain of the southern part of Wu County, and you will command five thousand cavalry to go and defeat this bandit."

Xu Kun immediately stepped out and ordered Sun Bi. Ling Cao and two captains led his army to meet the enemy. The three of them had a total of 3,600 disciples and could serve as the main force. Then they brought 400 crossbowmen and

Chen Wu commanded thousands of cavalry.

This lineup is not to mention powerful, even if it faces Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Army head-on.

Wang Sheng's army is not far from here. After all, their gathering place is in the neighboring county. They can reach it quickly by marching in a hurry.

And their huge momentum even successfully noticed the powerful troops defending the city. The arrival of reinforcements greatly boosted the morale of the defenders in a short period of time.

But Sun Ce's troops were not a ragtag group like Zhou Zhang's men. Even if they saw the enemy's flags stretching out, they were in strict formation and had strict military discipline.

After Xu Kun completed his formation, he immediately faced the enemy's sharp advance.

Two huge armies are about to fight fiercely in front of the powerful fortress of Wucheng County.

Sun Ce also led his generals to stand on a high slope nearby, overlooking the battlefield, and watched the battle from the sidelines.

The terrain of Wucheng County is flat, there is no terrain for ambush, and the battlefield situation is clear at a glance.

Cheng Pu stood next to Sun Ce, looking at the situation of the upcoming confrontation in the distance, frowning slightly: "Wang Sheng's banners are stretching, the military formation is boundless, and the number of people must be over ten thousand, perhaps close to three times as many as Wu Duwei. In this case

, Wang Sheng’s troops must select elite and strong men as the front troops. In the battle between the two armies, Captain Wu cannot defeat the enemy troops quickly, and his troops may suffer heavy losses.”

Wu Jingze scolded angrily: "This is not possible. This battle must not only be won, but also won cleanly! Like Taiwei Zhu, he shocked the whole state and frightened all the powerful people, and they did not dare to fight again.

Rebellion. Otherwise, powerful and powerful thieves will often gather tens of thousands of people to rebel against the county, and Wu County will never find peace!"

"That's right, we must let the powerful and thieves be shocked by this battle. The rest of the generation is horrified by the might of our army!" Sun Ce nodded, and the lieutenants mentioned by Wu Jing were Zhu Jun, the famous general of the late Han Dynasty.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, these powerful people were arrogant. With more than ten thousand people, they dared to attack counties and even fight with the Han army.

During the Guanghe period, a group of bandits in Jiaozhi once gathered more than 10,000 people to launch a rebellion, but the prefect and state pastor could not stop it.

In such a place where the sky is high and the emperor is far away, it is difficult for the Han Dynasty court to organize a large army to quell the rebellion. So he appointed Zhu Jun as the governor of Jiaozhou and tried his best to put down the rebellion.

Zhu Jun had no troops, so he returned to his hometown of Kuaiji County, mobilized his family soldiers, and recruited soldiers, and got 5,000 people. Then he went straight to Jiaozhi. Within ten months, the prefecture and county were pacified, and the rebel leader Liang Long was killed.

Since then, the bandits in Jiaozhou have been quietly obeying the orders of the Han Dynasty as governors of prefectures and counties.

Sun Ce looked at the battlefield with a stern look. Wu Jun's heroes were just short of such an unforgettable defeat, so they dared to launch a rebellion after gathering more than ten thousand people, and even dared to come arrogantly to support and attack Sun Ce's main force.

They thought that Sun Ce, like them, was a local prince and general in Guanzhong who supported tens of thousands of people and rose to prominence.

This battle is to make them remember that there is a huge difference between Sun Ce's elite army and the rough people under their command!

Following Sun Ce's concerned gaze, two huge armies were slowly approaching in the wilderness.

Xu Kun obviously also knew that the opponent would definitely put the elite troops at the forefront, so he chose to build a strong wall to avoid the enemy's sharp edge, and temper the enemy's energy. He waited until the enemy's fierce warriors who dared to fight were killed or injured under the arrow array, and then Launch a counterattack again.
