Under the leadership of Tian Yu's soldiers, Zhang Fei led the army towards the place where Tian Yu was stationed. About two days later, Zhang Fei and others met Tian Yu who came to greet him.
After meeting Tian Yu, Zhang Fei no longer had any doubts and gave Tian Yu a bear hug, and the two talked about the original incident.
"When General Gongsun entrusted me with so many soldiers, it was indeed beyond my expectation. I never thought that General Gongsun would have such an army under his command." Tian Yu sighed and said, "If General Gongsun had entrusted these soldiers to me, it was indeed beyond my expectation."
A group of people are also dragged to the battlefield, it really is not like this."
In fact, Tian Yu has always believed that if Gongsun Zan brought these troops to the battlefield against Yuan Shao, it would take at least three years for Yuan Shao to defeat Gongsun Zan.
It's a pity that Gongsun Zan refused, and now Tian Yu also understands Gongsun Zan's original thoughts. It will indeed take a long time for these people to march to the battlefield, but when the soldiers guarding the border also died on the battlefield of the civil war, who should go?
Defend the barbarians in the north.
This is no longer the era of Gongsun Baima. The Hu people are no longer afraid of Youzhou. If they put the last force into the battle, it is destined that Youzhou, the frontier of China, will be ravaged by the Hu people. Gongsun Bogui probably cannot bear this kind of thing.
.
"Even if he dies, he will not let go of his pride." A hint of admiration appeared on Zhang Fei's dark face, "Similarly, other monarchs who can be called princes also have their own pride."
In fact, Zhang Fei may understand Gongsun Zan better than Tian Yu. Although Tian Yu has been following Gongsun Zan for a longer time, Zhang Fei has a very similar state of mind to Gongsun Zan.
In essence, it is not to protect the people of Youzhou, but to prevent the pride of a great country from being trampled on by others. Even if China is torn apart, I can still guard this glory. This is the frontier of my great Han Dynasty. How can I tolerate it?
Trampled by barbarians!
The princes of this era all have their own pride. They can be defeated or die, but they will not give up their pride.
"Maybe, let's go and rest where I am stationed." Tian Yu nodded. The place they are now is considered to be close to Liaodong, but to be precise, it is still under Yuan Tan's control. However, Tian Yu is there.
Troops are stationed here.
"This place is completely uninhabited." Although Zhang Fei was born in Zhuo County, this was his first time in northern Youzhou, and he was really surprised by how desolate it was.
"Yes, so I gathered all the soldiers in winter. No one was in charge here. Tens of thousands of people were stationed together, training and discussing at the same time." Tian Yu nodded and said. The northern part of Youzhou is very desolate.
No problem in no man's land,
"Won't Yuan Tan notice it?" Zhang Fei said in surprise.
"Yuan Tan is consolidating the essence of Youzhou. Very few people come to these places, and this is also the actual area of control of our Tian family. If Yuan Tan comes, we will receive the news before they arrive, and we will send them away if we can.
If you can't, just do it." Tian Yu said casually.
Zhang Fei looked at Tian Yu. The Tian family was almost a local emperor in Youzhou. When Gongsun Zan sent troops to Tian Yu, on the one hand he believed that Tian Yu had the ability and character, and on the other hand he also wanted to borrow the power of the Tian family.
Only a wealthy family like the Tian family in Youzhou, which has 30,000 to 50,000 people hidden away, would not reveal any clues. Unless it touches Yuan Tan's fundamental interests, it will be too late to win over him, and he will not offend him unless necessary.
Soon Tian Yu took Zhang Fei to the outside of a small city. This is where Tian Yu was stationed. "This is it. Destroy the city after the spring begins, and then find another place to build another in the winter. With such a small city,
It’s a lot safer to be stationed there.”
Zhang Fei felt his teeth sour when he heard this. He always thought that Chen Xi was extravagant sometimes, but he didn't expect that Tian Yu was even more extravagant. He actually built a city in winter and destroyed it in spring. He could station wherever he needed to in the coming year.
Again, this Tian family is no ordinary trench.
"This is built of ice and sand." Zhuge Liang frowned and said. The countless frosts on this city illustrate the nature of this city. Unlike Zhang Fei, Zhuge Liang learned a lot from Chen Xi.
Use the ice and snow method.
"Young friend, you really have good eyesight." Zhuge Liang exposed Tian Yu before he could show off, so Tian Yu said with a smile, "That's right, my brother taught me this many years ago, and that's why I was able to find a
Stationed in the wilderness to train troops."
Tian Yu is now considered the head of the Tian family, and Tian Tian is the steward of the Tian family. Tian Yu is good at running a family, while Tian Tian is good at business. He was also one of the first wealthy people to support the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce. Now he relies on the Chamber of Commerce to do business all over the world.
The pulse also has its own head and face.
In addition, Tian Tian was a kindhearted person and had Tian Yu's endorsement, so he got along very well with Liu Bei, and he could copy most books as long as he was willing to pay a certain price.
As for building an ice city, it was something Tian Tian borrowed from the library. When he read it at the time, he didn't think it was anything important, but when Tian Yu wanted to train soldiers, Tian Tian suddenly realized that this was a very good way.
"It's not that I have good taste, it's just that I've seen this method in books." Zhuge Liang shook his head and said. He had read quite a few books.
"Hahaha, so it is not wrong to say that a book is worth thousands of gold." Tian Yu said with a smile, "This is why the book should not be passed on lightly. Go, go to the city, go inside to warm up, and there will be another month like this
The city will no longer be inhabitable."
"Oh, what if it's further north?" Zhuge Liang showed a searching look.
"It is said that further north, there are some places where the frost never melts all year round, but I have never been to such places. I just heard the old man say so." Tian Yu didn't pay attention to Zhuge Liang's question.
[Is this also the reason why Zichuan said he would no longer develop further north?] Zhuge Liang followed Tian Yu into the city while thinking about Chen Xi's plan at the time.
Zhang Fei's more than 20,000 people filed in through the city gate and soon entered the small city. Tian Yu had already arranged many camps here. Soon Zhang Fei's soldiers were arranged in Tian Yu
Under the guidance of the general, he moved into the tent in the city.
Not long afterward, Zhuge Liang smelled the aroma of meat. It seemed that Tian Yu had prepared everything and was waiting for Zhang Fei to arrive.
It was also at this time that Zhuge Liang had time to observe the layout of the city. This small city was made of sand solidified by watering. It was difficult to defend against strong attacks, but it was more than enough to defend against the cold wind and snow in the north.
Zhuge Liang mobilized the extra soldiers to set up camp on the spot, while carefully observing the layout of the camps in the city. Zhuge Liang soon found some minor flaws. However, overall, the layout of the camps in the city seemed messy, but it was capable of both offense and defense.
