Jinyang Pass, inside the residence of the Yanzhou Commander

Liang Wang Chen Yuezheng and Wang Shouren concentrated on marking small dots on the map. These are dangerous places in Yanzhou that will be included in the Yunjin defense line.

Zang Cheng, the commander of the Yungu camp, had already led some troops out of the city and started the bandit suppression operation. Xinji was personally in charge of the bandit suppression in Yunzhou, while Wang Shouren was in command of Yanzhou.

"From here to here, we can build three beacons, so that the military information on the other side of the mountain can be quickly conveyed to the other side of the mountain. There is no need to rush to deliver the message." Wang Shouren pointed to a certain place on the map and muttered in a low voice.

"Yes, this location is good. You see, you can occupy the main traffic road. If the Yan soldiers want to flee into the mountains, they must pass through here." Chen Yue also pointed.

…

"Your Majesty, I'm waiting for you. I've kept you waiting for a long time."

As the two were chatting, a burst of laughter came into Chen Yue's ears.

Tong Chengxiang and Wang Rusong, two senior officials in charge of Liaodong, walked into the room together.

After receiving Chen Yue's letter, the two of them immediately set off from Tanzhou, hurriedly and slowly, and finally arrived at Jinyang Pass. Both of them looked dusty.

"Haha, you two are here, please take a seat." Chen Yue waved his hand with a smile: "Master Tong, the roads in Yanyun land are rugged and windy and sandy, making it very difficult to walk. Can you still bear the burden of this old body?"

Wang Rusong is a serious military commander, so a journey like this is a piece of cake for him.

But Tong Chengxiang was different. He had lived in the mainland of the Central Plains for a long time and was a civil servant. He was afraid that he would suffer a lot during this trip.

Originally, Chenyue did not intend to let Tong Chengxiang go on this trip, but then he thought about it. Wang Rusong, Xue Leihan, and Xin Ji, the three generals and military envoys, were all in the Yanyun area. If Tong Chengxiang was not called, it would inevitably cause trouble.

People think Liangdi civil and military forces are a bit exclusive.

Although Tong Chengxiang had already gained Chenyue's trust, he had just arrived in Liaodong not long ago, so it would be bad if he had a grudge.

"Well, of course I can't compare with General Wang in terms of body and bones." Tong Chengxiang slapped her back and said:

"But if there is such a big commotion in the Yanyun Land, how can I, the manager, do it if I can't exert some effort? Looking back, everyone will think that I am freeloading in Tanzhou."

"Haha, I have to be fair, Mr. Tong is very busy in Shun and Tan." Wang Rusong joked at the side:

"Your Majesty, I have prepared a good car to drive Mr. Tong here, and the roads chosen are also safer."

"Haha, General Wang is interested." Chen Yue said with a thumbs up.

Tong Chengxiang was laughing so much that his beard was floating: "When I come to Liaodong, I can taste the extravagance and take a few luxurious car rides."

"Hahaha!"

Several people laughed at the same time.

"By the way, when I first entered the city, I heard that the prince was attacked by bandits on the road? Is it in the way?" Tong Chengxiang suddenly asked.

"Indeed. No, I also pulled out a big fish. A captured bandit leader said that there were two to three thousand gold soldiers hiding in the mountains, with countless gold and silver treasures hidden. General Xinji has been arranged to encircle and suppress them." Chen Yue

Said with a smile.

"Humph, these guys are really good at hiding, and they even ran into this deep mountain." Wang Rusong's eyes suddenly turned cold: "Let's wipe them out completely this time, so as not to be like annoying flies that jump around from time to time.

"

"Wait a minute, what did the prince say? Countless gold and silver treasures?" Tong Chengxiang's eyes suddenly lit up.

"That's right!" Chen Yue nodded proudly.

"Good thing, good thing! Haha!" Tong Chengxiang was very happy.

Liaodong Road has just been established, and everything needs money. The three melons and two dates given by the Ministry of Household Affairs alone are of no use. Tong Chengxiang is worried about this matter.

"Alright, I'll leave the suppression of bandits to General Xin. You two, I'm here to talk to you about this Yunjin defense line." Chenyue pointed to the table with a smile.

What is spread out on the table is the topographic map of Yanyun and Yunnan, with many dangerous places marked on it.

As a military general, Wang Rusong suddenly became interested: "General, I have already read the prince's letter. This method is very suitable for Yanyun's terrain."

Then Wang Rusong lay on the table and looked at it carefully, whispering to Wang Shouren from time to time.

Tong Chengxiang frowned and looked at it for a long time, and finally shook his head with a wry smile.

"Haha, Mr. Tong, these are the affairs of the generals, just rest." Chen Yue walked to the side and poured Tong Chengxiang a cup of tea.

Many of the geographical locations marked on the map are dangerous routes in a military sense, but a layman may not be able to tell what the route is.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Tong Chengxiang took the water glass politely and said, "I'm just here to give General Wang a hand, haha."

After a cup of tea, Wang Rusong, who was lying at the table, straightened up and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, according to this scale, Luoyun City must build at least a hundred fortresses and beacons before it reaches Jinyang Pass.

The selection of locations, the number of garrison troops, the movement of supplies, and the transmission of orders in the event of war all need to be studied carefully, and nothing can be done carelessly."

"Ha ha."

Chenyue raised his forehead and laughed and said: "That's why I asked the general to come here. Among the generals in Liaodong, only the general has the most seniority and the farthest vision. Besides the general, who else can take on the important task of building the Yunjin Defense Line?"

Chenyue raised his eyebrows as he spoke, looking seductive.

"Okay, okay, my lord." Wang Rusong hurriedly raised his hand and said, "This prince can't bear to praise the general himself. Don't worry, I'll leave this matter to the general!"

"Hehe!" Chenyue turned his head to Tong Chengxiang again: "Master Tong."

Before Chen Yue could speak, Tong Chengxiang stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I know what you are doing.

The construction of one or two hundred forts requires a lot of civilians, supplies, and stones. However, Yanyun and Yun are sparsely populated and there are not enough civilians. After I return to Shuntan, I will start recruiting civilians and accumulate supplies."

"Bah bang bang!"

Chenyue clapped his hands solemnly: "My two military envoys and envoys from Liaodong Province really understand my king's thoughts, haha!"

Wang Rusong and Tong Chengxiang stared at each other with a bit of contempt in their eyes, and then they shouted in unison:

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty!"

"Hey, I am really praising you two and your great talents!" Chen Yue heard something was wrong and quickly defended himself.

"Ahem, who in the world doesn't know that the prince is very good at catching coolies?" Wang Rusong said sinisterly.

"Okay, okay, let's get down to business." Chen Yue's face turned slightly red.

Wang Rusong and Tong Chengxiang also sat upright.

Chen Yue looked down at the map and said: "Xinji needs to spend some time to clear out the bandits, and Shun and Tan will soon enter the autumn harvest. There will be no large-scale recruitment of civilians in the near future. Wait until the autumn harvest is over before obeying Shun."

Transferring people from two places in Tan.

For the time being, we will recruit new soldiers from various states and select some of the most geographically critical places to start work first. After the autumn harvest, we will fully build the Yunjin defense line.

My two gentlemen, the Yunjin Defense Line is the top priority of our defense in Yanyun and Yanyun, and it must be deployed carefully to ensure that there is no leakage!"

"promise!"
Chapter completed!
