A few days later at night, a total of 200,000 Chinese troops gathered in the camp ten miles away from the north gate of Shicheng.
There were four people in the tent, Qing Cang, Zhao Zilong, Zhang Liao and Guo Jia.
Cao Chen originally wanted to come with him, but Qing Cang stayed in Jinyang.
Sometimes defending a city is much more important than attacking it, and the responsibility is heavier.
Cao Chen couldn't resist.
The military orders were overwhelming and he had no choice but to obey them.
Several people were arranging tactics in the tent, with a sand table from Lishi City placed in the middle.
Guo Jiadao: "According to intelligence, Lishi City has a population of less than 100,000, and 30,000 Black Mountain troops are stationed there.
Zhang Yan's return this time has injected a large amount of military power into Lishi City, and their number will also reach 180,000.
This battle I’m afraid it’s not easy to fight either.”
"Consultant Guo is right, but since our Chinese Legion is here, there is no reason to return empty-handed.
I request that I lead the troops as the vanguard tomorrow."
Zhao Zilong volunteered and Zhang Liao was not to be outdone.
He said: "I can also be a vanguard and go to the front line to attack the enemy."
The three of them turned their attention to Qingcang, and he said: "I understand your feelings.
No matter how difficult it is to defeat, Lishi City must be defeated.
Don't let the news come out and say that we are here for Xun Yu, otherwise his The situation is bound to be dangerous.”
Guo Jia responded: "Commander, please rest assured, we have done a good job keeping this secret.
No one knows except the four of us."
"That's great.
I have already figured out how to attack Lishi City.
This time we brought 500 trebuchets, 100 city assault vehicles, and 5,000 ballista vehicles.
At dawn tomorrow, we will focus on attacking the north gate.
The trebuchets will be the vanguard to attack first, followed by the ramming vehicles, and finally the ballista vehicles will be the final force.
Commander Zhao and Commander Zhang will be on standby to take down Lishi City."
Lishi City does not have a moat, and their city is not as strong as Huaxia City.
In addition, during this period of time, Lishi City has been fighting fiercely with the Qiang and Hu people, and the durability of the entire city is naturally not high.
I believe that it won’t take too long for the city gate to be broken.
Once broken, it will be the moment of victory.
The two military commanders should "yes" At this moment, the intelligence officer said outside the tent: "Commander, there is news from Huaxia City."
"Pass it in."
"yes" The intelligence personnel presented the telegram.
Now the telegraph is their communication tool.
These people use it very skillfully and efficiently.
The sooner the intelligence is conveyed, the higher the value.
Qingcang adheres to this and allows everyone to study the telegraph in depth.
Only after sending the process did I have the current results.
He received the telegram and read it for a while.
Guo Jiazhi asked: "Commander, what's going on in China City?"
Qingcang looked at the piece of paper and wrote about a hundred words, and he said: "There are a few main things.
Some time ago, we defeated the 70 foreign coalition forces with 300,000 people, and won the victory at a very small cost.
Let The reputation of the entire Huaxia City has spread, and some people from the north are rushing into the city to join the Huaxia Legion.
Commander Dian now asks for instructions on how to deal with the problem. " Dian Wei had no experience in running a city.
Anyway, a telegram was as simple as asking, and he would get a reply soon.
When Guo Jia heard this, he immediately said excitedly: "That is a big deal for us in Huaxia City.

When the number of people reaches one million, we will be able to control most of the Central Plains."
Like this time, Jinyang was lost due to insufficient defenders, and the Chinese Army also lost two deputy brigade commanders.
"Yes, that's it.
Once the train comes out, my territory will expand again until the whole world is unified."
Guo Jia asked: "What is that in the whole world?"
"The entire land is not limited to our territory.
The entire territory of the Han Dynasty might as well be part of the world."
Qingcang knew that Guo Jia would not understand this explanation, so he added: "I will tell you all this knowledge later."
Guo Jia stopped asking.
In their hearts, they only have the concept of a round sky and a square place.
As for how big the world is, the distance of the footprints is the long-term vision.
Everything that cannot be reached is unknown.
Zhao Zilong asked the key question to the train.
"What is the train that the commander is talking about?"
"You can think of it as a box that moves at high speed.
A box is very big and can hold hundreds of people.
Their speed can transport people from Huaxia City to Jinyang City within an hour."
This frightened the three of them.
They had never asked about the steam train.
Now after hearing Qingcang's explanation, they understood that Qingcang was doing something big.
"If there is a train, then when the enemy attacks Jinyang, we can support them within an hour.
Even if our army is less than one million, we can still take care of the surrounding cities, and our tentacles can extend further.
This is a big project” Zhang Liao also looked a little excited.
He said: "Listening to what the commander said, I am already looking forward to the day when the train will cause trouble."
Guo Jia asked again: "It must be time-consuming and laborious to build such a moving box, right?"
He was thinking a lot, so he asked this question.
"Yes, it takes a long time to improve the research and manufacturing process.
It can only be researched through continuous experiments.
This research is not finished when it is completed.
Building train roads also takes time.
These projects are measured in years."
Although he said this, everyone was still full of confidence.
Zhang Liao said: "With the commander here, these matters can be solved soon."
Guo Jia asked: "What is the second thing?"
"The second thing is interesting.
Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty still wants to build a palace, and is now asking for wood and stones from various counties.
I have an idea."
"The commander wants to intercept these things."
"Yes, that's it.
We, Huaxia City, are also going to start to expand.
We need these building materials very much.
Doesn't the Emperor of Han intend to send us materials?
Dong Zhuo and Huangfu Song were defeated not long ago.
The chance of them coming back is very small.
Take advantage of this.

While they are resting, I want to make a fortune."
The three people said: "What the commander said is absolutely true."
Just do it, Qing Cang said straightly: "Come here, send a telegram to Huaxia City.
There are two main points.
First, review the people who come here.
Only those who have passed the review can join the army.
Those with strong strength will directly grant them the regimental rank." .
We are going to recruit troops on a large scale.
Let Commander Dian pay attention to one.
If anyone is found transporting wood and stone along the official road of a nearby city, they will be detained and sent back to Huaxia City for construction purposes.
It should also be noted that the limit is three hundred miles.
If there is a problem in Huaxia City, it will be difficult to return to defense."
"yes" After the intelligence personnel retreated, he said: "We will stop here today.
The whole army will have a good rest.
At dawn tomorrow, we will capture the beginning of Lishi City."
"yes" Everyone retreated, waiting for dawn tomorrow
