According to this development, perhaps Liu Bei, who had not been heard from for a long time, had already entered Shu?
He had to hurry up.
Pan Feng thought about it and let Gongsun Zan lead the soldiers of Bingzhou and Lu Bu lead the armored army to Liaodong!
Yes, the north and Liaodong were not in his hands!
Although the north was cold, the land there was fertile.
Didn't you see that the onions that grew there were taller than a person?
To develop, there had to be food, people, and a road!
After capturing other soldiers for the past few years, the number of soldiers could still keep up.
Moreover, ever since Pan Feng took control of Jizhou, she had been encouraging childbirth, and the new population was not bad.
However, it was still too early for these people to grow to the age where they could contribute.
The fastest way to increase the population was through plundering.
Liaodong and Silla bordered each other, so plundering was the fastest.
Liaodong was bordered by Xinluo, and plundering the population of Xinluo was the most in line with Pan Feng's plan.
As for the roads, which were also traffic, Pan Feng had already started building them when she was in charge of Jizhou.
Otherwise, why would Pan Feng escort Cao Cao and Liu Biao's surrendered soldiers?
The traffic in Jizhou was no longer what it used to be, but the other areas had not been completed yet. There was still a large need for captives to build roads!
Of course, there was another reason for Gongsun Zan and Lu Bu to go to Liaodong. Gongsun Zan was related to Gongsun Du.
It would be even better if they could avoid bloodshed.
"Liaodong, we must take it down!"
This was the only hope Pan Feng had left for Gongsun Zan and Lu Bu before the army set off.
"Zi Yuan, Yuan Hao, do you think Gongsun Du will surrender?”
Pan Feng asked the two strategists beside her as she watched the army leave.
"Don't worry, my lord. If Gongsun Zan wasn't confident, he wouldn't have only brought Lu Bu.”
Pan Feng nodded and let go of her worries.
Prepare people to attack Qingzhou and let Huang Zhong lead troops to guard the border with Cao Cao to prevent Cao Cao from taking advantage of the situation.
With the expansion of her territory, Pan Feng clearly felt that she did not have enough manpower.
There were only Zhang He, Jushou, Gongsun Zan, Lu Bu, Huang Zhong, and Zhao Yun. Now, Jushou and Zhang He were guarding a prefecture. Gongsun Zan and Lu Bu were heading to Liaodong, while Huang Zhong was guarding the border. Zhao Yun was the only one left.
Don't tell me I have to personally attack Qingzhou?
Sigh, he was born to work hard!
"My lord."
"In the northern region, excluding Liaodong, only Qingzhou is not in the lord's hands." Zhao Yun cupped her fists and said.”
"If there's nothing else, the Flying Tigers are almost done with their training. Why don't you let me lead my troops to take Qingzhou?”
Pan Feng sighed.
"Zilong, it's not that you can't, but can you handle Qingzhou alone?”
Qingzhou was originally the place where Yuan Shao started his business. Now, he had quite a bit of territory. When Pan Feng killed Yuan Shao, it had already fallen into Pan Feng's hands.
Most of the other regions were still under Cao Cao's rule.
"My Lord, although Zilong is not a strategist, since Cao Cao has sent a large army to control Chang 'an, Qingzhou will definitely be lacking in troops.”
Moreover, with General Huang in the south of Jizhou, Cao Cao would have to send troops to defend.
As such, Qingzhou would definitely be short of manpower.”
Pan Feng was a little surprised. She had long known that Zhao Yun was a top battle general and that her commanding ability was outstanding.
Since when did he have the ability of a strategist?
What was he saying?
"In that case, you and Tian Feng will send troops to Qingzhou!”
"We must take down Qingzhou in one fell swoop!"
"Yes!"
Zhao Yun and Tian Feng accepted the order and left. On the third day after Gongsun Zan and Lu Bu set out, they sent troops to Qingzhou.
Pan Feng was stationed in Jizhou. Every day, she would send scouts to guard the area 50 miles apart. They would report the movements of the two armies and send her orders.
He took the time to visit the Tianji Battalion a few times to check on the latest technological achievements.
Needless to say, the Heaven Secrets Battalion had really come up with a lot of useful things recently.
For example, organic fertilizer and sweet potatoes, these two things that could solve the food problem, were created by the Tianji Battalion.
The sweet potato was the crop with the highest yield that the Heavenly Secrets Battalion had chosen after experimenting with all the crops. At the same time, it was also the crop with the least investment.
It was being promoted vigorously in the past two years.
After the sweet potatoes were harvested, they were sliced and dried. They were very filling.
Eat it raw, grind it into powder, soak it in water, fry it, and eat it in various ways.
As for the organic fertilizer, it was said that it was invented by a dung picker in the Tianji Battalion.
He gathered the feces of the Tianji Battalion and the livestock in one place. Because of the stench, he covered it with hemp cloth and even covered it with a layer of soil to hide the stench.
A few months later, due to the wind and rain, the linen was corroded by oxygen.
The one who dug out the feces wanted to fix it, but when he realized that it didn't stink anymore, he didn't care anymore.
In the end, the plants that had seeped into the soil were unusually thick!
This time, the scavengers, who were influenced by the strange ideas of the Heavenly Fortune Camp every day, immediately realized that something was unusual.
Thus, this guy called his relatives from the Tianji Camp to experiment with him.
After three years of testing, they wrote a report that after the manure was sealed and fermented, the fertilizer could increase the yield of crops by 30%.
This discovery was immediately approved by Pan Feng. They quickly set up organic fertilizer production factories in various counties and districts to produce and use them in a unified manner.
Because of the use of feces, the hygiene problem that had troubled Pan Feng for a long time was greatly improved!
No one peed and defecated anywhere. They all held it in and went back to their rooms. If they saved up too much, they could exchange it for fertilizer or sell it for money.
Even the animals that were pulled out were picked up and brought home.
When the territory was large, it would be much more difficult to manage it.
However, Pan Feng didn't do it personally. She only held the military power and the financial power, controlling the three directions of the Tianji Battalion.
The rest was left to his subordinates.
For example, Zhang Shu and Zhang Bowen, who were in charge of the road administration, did a good job in repairing the road.
The world was still uncertain, and now that they were building roads, they focused on military supplies and intelligence.
The requirements for the roads were not too high. Zhang Bowen led nearly 80,000 captives and used four years to build all the roads in Jizhou!
He headed north to Youzhou and was about to reach Ji County.
To the east, he had already crossed into Qingzhou, to the west, he had cultivated to Shangdang, and to the south, he was outside the Eastern Capital.
On this day, Pan Feng was discussing the recruitment of talents for the second Talent Recruitment Roll with Xu You when the head of intelligence, Cui Dongji, requested an audience.
"Come in!"
Cui Dongji's round face was full of smiles. Apparently, he had something good to report.
Pan Feng heaved a sigh of relief.
I'm more at ease now that you look good.
"My lord, General Gongsun and General Lu Bu have arrived at the border of Youzhou and are confronting Gongsun Du from Liaodong.”
"The Liaodong spies have sent news that Gongsun Du and Gongsun Zan are distant relatives of the same clan. Although they know each other, they don't have much of a relationship.”
Pan Feng frowned slightly.
I thought you had good news, but there's no point in talking for so long!
Cui Dongji probably saw Pan Feng's dissatisfaction and quickly coughed to speed up his speech.
"However, General Lu saved Gongsun Du's son a few years ago.”
"In addition, the Zhao family, a big family in Liaodong, is from the same family as General Zilong. The spy is trying to communicate with the Zhao family to obtain their support and peacefully annex Liaodong.”
