The repair progress has been very fast, but it still does not meet Liu Ke's wishes.
"Is there any way to speed up?" Liu Kedao said.
"My lord, I'm afraid this is a bit difficult." Xu Shu said calmly.
After all, Xu Shu not only had to ensure the speed of repairs, but also ensure the motivation of his soldiers.
Don¡¯t let your soldiers feel tired.
Xu Shu had to take care of both, so he didn't dare to increase the speed easily. Of course, he also wanted to speed up the process by expanding the number of workers, but the venue simply could not accommodate so many people.
Too many people will get in the way and make it difficult to direct.
Liu Ke was silent for a while and then suggested: "What if we use cement?"
Cement is a strategic material transported by Liu Ke from Yangzhou. It can build high walls overnight and form a solid defense during the decisive battle.
"In this way, it can indeed speed up, but it's a bit wasteful." Xu Shu replied.
waste?
In Liu Ke¡¯s view, as long as it is used in the right place, it is not a waste.
"Get ready as soon as possible. The road will be built within three days." Liu Ke said immediately.
"Yes!" Xu Shu said.
Another important reason why Liu Ke did this was to reduce the baggage. He had not considered the road problem before, so he transported so many supplies.
Consumption of cement, since repairing roads can also reduce the load, there is no need to waste it.
It¡¯s just that the cement process is complicated. Currently, only Tieniu City has the capacity to produce it, otherwise Liu Ke would not waste so much transportation capacity.
So, the entire Yangzhou Army mobilized, some dug river sand, and some moved gravel, and the repair speed more than tripled.
Twenty miles of the road can Liu can still stop Liu?
Liu Ke personally inspected the road repairs and greeted the soldiers from time to time. He was very popular.
"Is it hard?" Liu Ke asked.
"It's not hard work. Compared with training, this bit of work is nothing." A soldier replied with a smile.
Liu Ke smiled back, it seemed that his usual training was still effective.
When passing a section of unsolidified cement ground, Liu Ke did not walk up, but walked onto the muddy ground.
"How could my lord, with his rich body, dirty his shoes!" Tian Yu stepped forward and laid out a wooden board.
Since no other road was found, Tian Yu came back and took charge of supervising the work.
"Don't worry about me, marching and fighting, this mess is nothing." Liu Ke scolded.
Tian Yu stepped aside.
"What do you think about cement?" Liu Ke asked.
"It's very magical!" Tian Yu said, "I have never seen it before. It is soft when poured with water, and becomes as solid as a rock after one night. If it is used to build a city, I am afraid it will not take a month for the city to rise from the ground."
It¡¯s not like Liu has never thought about building a city with reinforced concrete, but Lu Su calculated it and decided not to consider it if he didn¡¯t have 100 million gold.
Of course, if you just build a city wall, the cost will be smaller.
Liu Ke informed Tian Yu about the price of cement, which shocked Tian Yu.
"My lord, this is all money. Wouldn't it be a waste to use it to build roads?" Tian Yu said.
"So you should be careful when building roads. If you can use it for ten or eight years, it won't be wasted." Liu Kedao.
"Follow your orders!" Tian Yu said seriously, this is something that benefits the people.
In fact, Liu Ke also has other ideas. At worst, he will charge tolls as a business channel in the future.
Anyway, some people find ways to make money back.
Liu Ke walked nearly three miles, and the project progressed very quickly. In this way, there is no need to worry about being too far away from Zhao Yun.
Suddenly, Guo Jia hurried over.
"Zilong is here to take revenge!" Guo Jiada said.
Liu Ke just thought of Zhao Yun, but the news came unexpectedly. Liu Ke opened the letter and saw that it was just an ordinary report on the speed of the advance, and there was no battle.
Zhao Yun commanded the army and galloped for hundreds of miles and arrived at Baitan County, but no trace of Tadun was found.
"My lord, do you want Zilong to wait?" Guo Jia asked.
"Why wait?" Liu Ke asked, "I believe Zilong can deal with all emergencies! When I handed over the army to him, I clearly told him that he would use the 80,000 cavalry as a lone army. "
Simply put, ?However, Zhao Yun should not ask for help from Liu Ke. Without such awareness, Liu Ke would not appoint Zhao Yun as commander.
"I understand." Guo Jiadao.
In the next few days, Xu Shu and Tian Yu worked hard and finally handed Liu Ke a satisfactory answer sheet.
Road repairs completed!
In the original plan, this took nearly half a month, but the Yangzhou Army completed it within five days.
As for the estimates of Tadun and others, they are even more outrageous.
The Yangzhou Army pays attention to efficiency, how could it take a month?
"Fengxian and Erlai will be the vanguard and go to Liaoxi County." Liu Ke ordered.
¡°As ordered!¡± The two of them said in unison. Before leaving, they looked at each other, full of gunpowder.
After the vanguard army passed, the main army also began to advance.
Nearly 500,000 troops passed through the coastal road, plus 100,000 civilians transporting baggage, the scene was extremely spectacular.
The reason why Liu Ke used so few civilians is because the army transported some of them.
And the Yangzhou Army¡¯s transportation tools are very advanced, and they basically have the help of livestock.
In previous battles, the number of civilians even exceeded that of the army. This was because of a lack of livestock and almost relied on manpower.
The Yangzhou Army does not lack horses, or some eliminated war horses.
Binhai Road is full of cars and horses.
"Our army will definitely win this battle." Liu Kedao said that if he failed, he would really go bankrupt.
"Wuhuan and the Xiongnu don't know how high the sky is, we will definitely teach them a lesson." Zhang He said.
The army entered Liaoxi County without stopping for a moment.
Tadun was shocked when he learned the news.
Why did it come so fast? !
boom!
Tadun slammed the table hard and said: "I have said long ago that Dongyang Hou will not give up and should take the initiative to attack. You just don't listen. Now it's better. Dongyang Hou is about to come to the door."
"What's the hurry! Dongyang Marquis is still two days away from us, and judging by the speed of the cavalry, we have enough time to prepare." Gu Jin said.
"Prepare? What are you preparing for? What is there to prepare for? We, the Wuhuan people, are going to fight. Horses and weapons are enough. We can grab the food ourselves!" Tadun said, "We should go south immediately and fight to the death with the Marquis of Dongyang!"
"It is true. Now that Dongyang Marquis has just passed Binhai Road, the soldiers are tired, and our army can make a surprise attack." Yu Fuluo said.
"You're right, we have always invaded the Han Dynasty. When will the Han Dynasty come to your door?!" Tadun said, "Don't you feel ashamed?"
"Send troops and destroy the Marquis of Dongyang!" the capable minister Di shouted.
Seeing that everyone was eager to send troops, Gu Jin did not refute. He also felt that it was time to send troops, but he couldn't help but agree to Tadun's proposal.
When Tadun saw this, he couldn't help but raise his voice and said: "Liucheng's 800,000-strong army is going out to fight, set off immediately!" (Remember this website's website address: www.hlnovel.com
