Youzhou.
Yi Jing.
After absorbing fifty thousand bandits from Zhuo County, Lu Fengnian's forces were no longer easy to deal with. It broke through 100,000.
"Ding! Congratulations to the lord for breaking through 100,000 soldiers and unlocking the next mission.”
"Mission Details: Defeat Gongsun Du and occupy Liaodong.“
The system notification rang out. Lu Fengnian's army had exceeded 100,000, and he had finally unlocked the next mission.
The mission to take Liaodong was getting more and more difficult.
However, as the gateway to the northeast, Liaodong was indeed a very important place.
More importantly, Liaodong had the geographical advantage. If an ordinary person wanted to conquer Liaodong, they would have a headache just by targeting the terrain.
The reason why the Gongsun family of Liaodong could dominate the northeast for decades was because they had an absolute geographical advantage.
But then again, attacking Liaodong was really a little strenuous and unrewarding.
First of all, it was not easy to fight.
By the time the army reached the Liao River, they were already exhausted. How could they have the energy to cross the river and fight?
Such a long journey would take several months for a round trip, and it would consume a lot of rations.
Gongsun Du was waiting for fatigue, and he had laid an ambush. When the time came, he would have to use up a lot of troops just to cross the river.
Even if he successfully crossed the river, the swamps would be another obstacle.
In addition, Liaodong's climate was extremely cold, and it was windy and snowy. Who knew if the local soldiers would be acclimatized to the weather when they entered Liaodong?
Moreover, once the other party did not fight you head-on and relied on the geographical advantage to retreat to Xiangping, how were you going to fight your way in?
Gongsun Du only needed to send people to block the grain routes and he would be able to destroy them quickly!
Even if they were lucky enough to conquer Liaodong, the gains would not make up for the losses.
As the gateway to the northeast, Liaodong needed to resist the invasion of foreign races all year round!
The land was not fertile, and although the products were not scarce, they were not rich either. They still had to subsidize money, food, and materials.
Lu Fengnian was really troubled. This system mission was a scam no matter how he looked at it!
However, Lu Fengnian quickly figured out the crux of the matter.
Liaodong is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Once they took down Liaodong, Lu Fengnian would be invincible with his strength!
The northern tribes were mostly nomadic and often disturbed the border. The Gongsun family was mostly passively resisting and never took the initiative to attack.
If Lu Fengnian changed his strategy and used Liaodong as a springboard to drive the Qiang and Hu in the north hundreds of miles away, then he might be able to achieve great feats!
If there were many horses in the northern plains, then he would have a source of warhorses. He could completely build an armored cavalry army!
With Liaodong as a barrier and Hebei as a fertile land, he could replenish his supplies at any time. He could rest easy in the north and use the Snow Dragon Cavalry as a prototype to form an unparalleled iron cavalry!
To recuperate and recuperate like this, to recuperate and recuperate, regardless of the chaotic battles between the heroes.
When the time came, the 100,000 cavalrymen would march south and sweep through the Central Plains!
However…
The premise of all this was that they had to take down Liaodong before they could implement it step by step!
Therefore, the next step was to unify Hebei and hold this fertile land in his hands. Only then would he have the confidence to talk about other things!
This mission to occupy Liaodong would take a long time to complete.
However, based on Lu Fengnian's experience, the system reward for such a difficult mission would definitely be a pleasant surprise!
After spending a few months to establish a base and become a feudal lord, he had obtained 7,000 white-robed soldiers and the God of War, Chen Qingzhi!
He wondered what kind of shocking reward he would receive if he took down Liaodong!
The more Lu Fengnian thought about it, the more excited he became!
She couldn't help but laugh.
"My lord?"
"My lord?"
Lu Fengnian came back to his senses after a few calls.
Chen Gong and Chen Qingzhi both looked at Lu Fengnian in confusion.
Lu Fengnian smiled awkwardly.
"Uh, I'm sorry for losing my composure."
Chen Gong smiled." Did my lord think of something good? Why are you smiling so happily?"”
" Nothing much," Lu Fengnian said seriously." It's just that now that we've gathered so many heroes under our command, our strength has increased greatly. We can finally manage Youzhou well and lay a solid foundation for conquering the world. That's why we're so happy that we've forgotten ourselves."”
Chen Qingzhi smiled.”
Chen Gong nodded and said,"My lord has hit the nail on the head."”
"Now that my lord's army is strong and powerful, you can be considered to have achieved some success among the dukes. It is indeed time to properly reorganize Youzhou, which has been ravaged by the flames of war in recent years.”
"Gongtai is right!" Lu Fengnian agreed.”
"Over the years, Gongsun Zan had fought for himself by conquering cities and plundering land. He had levied exorbitant taxes on the people, causing resentment to rise everywhere. In the end, he failed on the verge of success.”
"We must be careful and not follow in his footsteps.”
"Speaking of which, do you have any thoughts?”
Pei Xiulin, who was sitting behind Chen Gong, cupped her hands and said,"Reporting to my lord, Youzhou has been plagued with abuses for a long time. If we want to reorganize Youzhou, we must put the people first.”
"In recent years, wars have been frequent, and the people have been displaced. Youzhou can be said to be devastated.”
"We must first settle these people and stabilize the hearts of the people before we can talk about anything else!”
Lu Fengnian nodded.
What a people-oriented person. Only those who were born at the bottom could understand the hardships of the people the most.
In an era of war, the people who really suffered were the commoners.
the rise and fall of rivers and mountains, the people suffer.
Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, believed in the words of the Scholarly Sage. Water could carry a boat, but it could also capsize it.
Only by settling the people well could the country be stable and prosperous.
