Tian Chou spent three days to complete all matters in Zhuangzi.
Liu Ke then set off for Lulongsai.
Lulongsai is not particularly far from here. It is located at the easternmost foothills of Xuwu Mountain and is located between two mountains.
On the left is Meishan and on the right is Yunshan.
Due to the steep terrain, it took Liu Ke's team a full day to reach Lulongsai.
When Liu Yu was there, there was still a garrison in Lulongsai, but later, after Gongsun Zan became the lord of Youzhou, he established a powerful cavalry, and foreigners did not dare to invade easily.
By the time of Yuan Shao, Lulongsai was even more useless, because Yuan Shao and Qiu Liju were on good terms, and Wuhuan did not cause rebellion.
What Liu Ke saw was a dilapidated fortress that was sparsely populated.
Lulongsai is a city built on the mountain. There are three walls forming a "Ô»"-shaped defense system. It's just that the first city wall is damaged, and the second one is not much better.
The outer main city wall is five feet high, three feet wide and one hundred feet long. It is made of stones stacked from the inside to the outside. In the center there is a tower one or two feet high.
"This building is called Wangri Tower." Tian Chou introduced.
At both ends of the main city wall, auxiliary walls were built according to the mountain topography, and each wall also had one floor.
The one standing on Meishan is called Meilou, and the one built on Yunshan is called Yunlou. It starts from the auxiliary walls on both sides and extends further up the mountain.
The Han Dynasty built a city wall of about two hundred miles here to prevent Wuhuan from invading.
A hundred steps back from the main city wall, another tall city tower was built between the two mountains. The height and width of the city wall were the same as the main city wall, and it was fifty feet long.
There is a floor above the building named Lulong, hence the name Lulongsai.
It can be said that the defensive power of Lulongsai is very strong and it is an important stronghold to resist foreign invasion.
"It's just that now that the war is in chaos and the Central Plains is constantly fighting, no one pays attention to this place anymore.
"Lulongsai is a good place, Youzhou should re-build defense fortifications here." Liu Kedao.
"Hou Yingming of Dongyang!" Tian Chou bowed.
Although Liu Ke intends to completely solve Wuhuan's troubles, nomads are like weeds. They will grow vigorously if you don't pay attention to them, so the necessary vigilance is still needed.
"Brother, I have checked the fortress and it is not occupied by bandits." Dian Wei said.
In order to prevent a crisis, Dian Wei explored Lulongsai in advance.
"The terrain of Lulongsai is steep, making it inconvenient to travel, and there is no land for planting. Foreign races will visit from time to time, so no one wants to come here." Tian Chou explained.
"There are still alien races?" Dian Wei asked warily.
"Since this place was abandoned, foreigners rarely come here." Tian Chou said.
However, Dian Wei did not take it lightly and sent people to guard everywhere. If a foreign race appears, at least someone will warn them.
It has to be said that Dian Wei is still very careful in protecting Liu Ke.
Liu Ke acquiesced to Dian Wei's action, and then led Guo Jia and Tian Chou into the fortress.
Through observation, Liu Ke discovered.
Lulongsai is a natural pass.
The terrain on the south side of this place is relatively gentle, with an altitude of no more than a hundred meters. When you reach the north side, it suddenly rises to a height of a thousand meters.
???????????????????????????????????????????????¡
Liu Ke climbed up to the Lulong Tower and looked at the entire pass.
¡°It¡¯s so tall and majestic, so powerful that one man can¡¯t stop ten thousand others,¡± that¡¯s probably what it means.
However, after all, it still cannot withstand the erosion of time.
Lulongsai has been in disrepair for a long time, and many city walls have collapsed. Of course, the main body has not been destroyed, but the upper floors have been reinforced.
Later, Liu Ke finally knew why Lulongsai was abandoned because the road was no longer smooth.
Due to landslides, the road has been buried, making it difficult for pedestrians to pass, let alone troops carrying heavy loads.
"How much time and manpower will be needed to dredge the main road?" Liu Ke asked.
Tian Chou made an estimate and said: "Ten thousand people will work for more than a month."
"It's too long." Liu Kedao said.
"Marquis Dongyang, winter has arrived. When the snow falls heavily, the work will become more difficult." Tian Chou said.
Of course Liu Ke knows that the cold winter in the North can kill people.
If it were in the past, if 10,000 people were mobilized to dig mountain roads, I'm afraid it would beThousands of people froze to death.
The Yangzhou Army has sufficient supplies and can reduce casualties, but people will still die in the end.
As for waiting until next spring, it will be too late. I am afraid that Wuhuan will attack Youzhou.
"Anyway, let's send 30,000 troops here first, recruit masons, and repair Lulong fortress." Liu Kedao.
Liu Ke didn't have only one way to go, it was just that he could take Lulong fortress by surprise.
If the difficulty is too high, Liu Ke will not persist.
But now it seems that there is no solution.
"If we give you 20,000 people, are you sure we can open the road?" Liu Ke asked Tian Chou, "Just give it one month."
"It must be possible!" Tian Chou nodded.
"Just working in winter may cause frostbite to the people." Tian Chou said worriedly.
"It's not civilians, but 20,000 Wuhuan prisoners." Liu Kedao.
Liu Ke will feel sorry for the people under his rule, but Wuhuan prisoners will be used if possible.
"If he is from Wuhuan, isn't the Marquis of Dongyang afraid that the news will leak out?" Tian Chou said.
Twenty thousand people is not a small number. If they are not careful and some people escape and return to the grassland to inform Tadun, wouldn't their efforts be in vain?
"I will send someone to keep an eye on it," Liu Kedao said.
Being on duty in the wind and snow is not an easy task.
Tian Chou originally wanted to say a few words, but Liu Ke's decision could no longer be changed.
If someone must sacrifice, the Wuhuan people will be enough.
??Whether they are ordinary people or soldiers, Liu Ke will not let them die worthless.
After the discussion, Liu Ke did not leave Lulongsai directly. Instead, he explored around for a few days and even went to the grassland through trails.
As Tian Chou said, the people here are rare, and they can indeed be unexpected.
However, there are too few troops that can pass.
"According to everyone's estimation, if Taton wants revenge, he will definitely mobilize more than 500,000 troops, otherwise he will just come to die.
And the total number of Yangzhou's cavalry is less than 200,000, so there is no advantage at all.
Although it was a surprise attack, Liu would not underestimate any enemy.
In other words, this place can only be used as a surprise weapon?
Liu Ke has been thinking about this question for the past few days, but has never gotten an answer.
After Liu Ke told Guo Jiahe everything, he said:
"Fengxiao, what do you think?"
Send all the cavalry to raid Liucheng, or select some of the elites and wait for the decisive battle to suddenly attack.
Faced with Liu Ke¡¯s inquiry, Guo Jia had no answer in his heart and could only console himself: ¡°Lord, we still have time to think about it now.¡±
Liu Ke nodded, they still have one winter, there will always be a way.
The real decisive battle will be next spring. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
