041
Although most of the cities in Youzhou Province had been repaired, it was still possible to add a layer of cement to the original cities.
By doubling the thickness of the entire city, it would be useless to use catapults or siege vehicles.
Of course, the biggest use of cement was still in building roads.
These matters were directly handed over to Xi Zhicai. After all, he was the governor of Youzhou and was in charge of these matters.
As for the army, it was handed over to Gongsun Zan. After all, Gongsun Zan was a feudal lord in history, so he naturally knew how to manage it.
Other than that, there was Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun had the talent of a general.
As for Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Lu Bu, only Guan Yu was better off. However, he could only lead the troops in battle. It was better to leave the management of military affairs to Gongsun Zan.
In the following days, Youzhou Province had to carry out compulsory education and the autumn harvest!
Of course, during the autumn harvest, the most important thing to pay attention to was the situation of the foreign tribes. After all, during the autumn harvest every year, the foreign tribes would plunder the south in order to obtain food for the winter.
The movements were different every year. However, in most cases, dozens or hundreds of people would form a group. They would constantly kill their way into the large villages in Youzhou Province and escape after snatching the food.
Every year, the Xianbei, Wuhuan, Qiang, and other races would come. They called this looting the Grass Valley.
Most of the time, they would not attack the big cities. After all, it would be troublesome if the cavalry attacked the cities.
Lu Qing said to Guo Jia in the hall.
"The autumn harvest is about to begin. The villages outside the city that cannot be taken care of will face the greatest threat.”
"So I have an idea that everyone can discuss.”
Everyone looked at Lu Qing curiously.
"Youzhou is vast and sparsely populated. There are tens of thousands of villages outside the major cities.”
"After all, the Outsiders who come to attack the Grass Valley are all small groups of cavalry. Even scouting is a big problem.”
Hearing Lu Qing's words, everyone nodded.
Gongsun Zan said with deep agreement.
"That's right! The terrain of Youzhou is flat and close to the grasslands. The Xianbei and Wuhuan cavalry can come and go as they please. We can only set up troops to defend on the key roads, but there will still be people being robbed.”
His White Horse Righteous Followers had fought against the Outsiders countless times. Although they had gained some benefits, they still lost a lot of people. After all, Youzhou was too big. Unless they built extremely huge cities, they would be able to survive.
Most of the people were included, but this was not something that could be done in a short period of time.
Or they could set up a guard station system, directly setting up a guard station in each county or even pavilion. They could barely resist and then hold on until the army came to their aid.
However, these methods required time and were not suitable for the time being. Therefore, Lu Qing's idea was to take the initiative to attack.
"My idea is to take the initiative to attack!”
"Gather the army and go deep into the grasslands. Wherever our Youzhou cavalry passes, it will be Han soil!”
Hearing Lu Qing's words, everyone's body trembled as they looked at Lu Qing in disbelief.
It should be known that the Han Dynasty basically did not take the initiative to attack the outside world after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Just like what he had analyzed before, regardless of whether it was Youzhou, Bingzhou, or Liangzhou, due to the terrain, the large forces of the non-humankind could intercept them, but the small groups of cavalry could not.
Therefore, the only way to truly protect the Youzhou people from the threat of the non-humankind was to take the initiative to attack.
They would eliminate the Xianbei, Wuhuan, and Qiang people, and let them hide in the grasslands for the next ten or even decades to recuperate. This way, the people of Youzhou would be able to avoid the disaster of war.
Lu Qing's idea was like a clap of thunder. After all, even generals like Gongsun Zan had never thought of attacking first.
Lu Qing stood up and said to everyone.
"Can't I? Our Youzhou army is two hundred thousand strong, including one hundred and ten thousand cavalry.”
"If I wanted to, I could even send two hundred thousand cavalry. Could it be that two hundred thousand cavalry of Youzhou cannot sweep through the grasslands?”
Hearing Lu Qing's words, the soldiers felt their blood boil. Gongsun Zan and Lu Bu, who had been fighting the foreign tribes on the border for a long time, were especially excited.
Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai opened their mouths, but they didn't know what to say for a moment, because it seemed like they could.
If other dukes were to use their troops, they would be worried that they could not afford to raise them, but Lu Qing was not afraid at all!
Their lord was an immortal who could conjure countless grains out of thin air. Therefore, Lu Qing did not panic even if there were 500,000 troops.
Lu Qing said in a deep voice when he saw the excited crowd.
"Then pass on my orders! The 10,000 Snowy Dragon Cavalry of Youzhou did not move and were responsible for the safety of the Provincial Governor's Office.”
"The remaining 200,000 soldiers will all be reorganized into cavalry and will be under the prefecture soldier system.”
"Each county recruits 1,000 to 3,000 soldiers. The entire Youzhou Prefecture has a total of 100,000 soldiers.”
Hearing Lu Qing's words, everyone's eyes lit up. This was a good idea!
In Youzhou Province, Lu Qing was the king. Therefore, the entire Youzhou Province started to operate as soon as he gave his order.
Although there were not enough officials, after Lu Qing became stronger, these original officials did not dare to play tricks.
Therefore, the entire Youzhou Province started to operate like a war machine. For a moment, the surrounding Bingzhou Province, Liangzhou Province, Jizhou Province, and so on were all extremely nervous.
