This chapter is updated, and there are ninety-six chapters Suits.
At the foot of Helan Mountain, on the east bank of the Yellow River, Li Chao set up six cities of Dingyuan, Huaiyuan, Anyuan, Lingwu, Feng'an and Xin'an from north to south, while on the east bank of the Yellow River, he set up four cities of Taole, Huile, Mingsha and Anle.
The state city of Lingzhou is back to Lecheng, and Lingwu City, the second largest city in the West Set, across the river, only fifty miles.
Around these ten cities on both sides of the strait, Li Chao set up 20 military offices.
The fields of the government soldiers have also been divided, and letters have been sent back to Guanzhong, and the families of the fastest government soldiers have arrived in the first batch.
The second batch of 30,000 government soldiers, who were supposed to arrive long ago, finally arrived in Lingzhou at this time.
However, it was not the 30,000 government soldiers in Guanzhong that was promised at the beginning, but from Henan, Shannandong, and Shannanxi, half of which were government soldiers and half were people.
"It's a little late, but it's good to come, we still need the brothers from the Central Plains."
Li Chao was very satisfied with the arrival of these 30,000 people, after all, these were his own people, and they were much more credible than surrendering the army.
On the surface, Li Chao treats these troops equally, but secretly from Li Chao to the government soldiers below, in fact, they have always been secretly wary of them.
Now that his own people are here, this makes the Tang army, which has a total of only 20,000 people, breathe a sigh of relief.
"These 30,000 people, all of them were selected and registered as government soldiers, and they were divided into fields and granted land in various places in Yanxiayou, Yan, Sui, Yinshengfeng, and Zhuzhou."
No matter who these people were government soldiers and who were people before they came, since they came to Lingzhou and Shuofang, Li Chao planned to give them all the status of government soldiers, give them land and land, and let them garrison various states and counties.
The existing watered land in Xitao has been divided, and it is impossible for all the soldiers to be stationed in Lingzhou, so Li Chao directly assigned these newly arrived 30,000 soldiers to the states that had just been defeated, and asked them to strengthen the defenses of various places.
At the same time, new military governments were established in the states with these government soldiers as the mainstay. 30,000 government soldiers came, merchants also came, and the families of many government soldiers also began to come.
On the Xitao Plain, a scene is in full swing.
"The Turks have not moved, are they holding back some big moves?"
asked Li Chao.
Li Chao was looking at the sand table, which had become more and more accurate and detailed through the efforts of scouts and craftsmen.
Recently, the Turks have indeed not moved, the Tang army has been under Lingzhou for more than a month, this month, the Tang army swept Shuofang, only a Dongtao Plain has not been taken.
However, Fengzhou in the back, Shengzhou in the front, and the southern part of the face have also been occupied by the Tang army.
But even so, the Turks did not move.
This tranquility is more like a pre-storm omen.
Anyway, Li Chao didn't believe that the Turks had been beaten stupid by him, after all, the Turks were almost unharmed.
But on the Lingzhou side, the northernmost Dingyuan City, Li Chao stationed 20,000 soldiers and horses there, and sent rangers until the Wuhai region of later generations, but no movement of the Turks was found.
Not only did the Turks not move south, but there was not even any large-scale movement of troops and horses.
This is very abnormal.
To be honest, even Li Chao can't figure out what the Turks mean now.
The Yanei knew that Su Dingfang, the envoy of soldiers and horses, was called a young marshal in the army because he was not only Li Chao's protégé but also the commander of the tooth soldiers.
He also has his own understanding of the situation in front of him.
"I thought that the Turks had expected it at first, but they didn't expect that we would suddenly send troops in March and take the initiative to attack Liangshidu, which they never expected.
And they didn't expect that we could take Lingzhou so quickly.
Ashnasimo hurriedly withdrew, which can be seen.
As for the Turks who have not moved since then, I think it is indeed abnormal, the biggest possibility is that the Turks are not prepared, and they may not have decided whether to start a full-scale war with us because we destroyed Liang Shidu. ” "The Turks are not afraid of us, they are stronger than us."
Li Chao is not overly confident.
"The Turks may have been waiting for the autumn to be fattened by horses, but now it is early summer, the Yellow River is rising, the rainy season has begun, and the Turkic horses are still very thin."
"Maybe."
Su Dingfang walked to the sand table and pointed to the place surrounded by three mountains in the north of Dingyuan, which was Wuhai City in the future.
"Dashuai, here is only 200 miles away from Dingyuan, the east and north are separated by Gander Mountain and Henan Plateau, and the south and Dingyuan are across the river, surrounded by three mountains, and a water streams.
It is only 300 miles away from Fengzhou, which can be described as an important passage between Shou Ling and Feng.
This shape is a place of victory, and soldiers must fight.
Marshal, since the Turks have not moved, and we have gained a foothold in Shuofang, I think we can now immediately send troops to occupy this place, build a fortress here, and garrison it. ” Between the Xitao Plain and the Houtao of the Dongtao Plain, five hundred miles of land, with Ulan Bu and the desert to the west and the Ordos Plateau to the east, can only be connected by water transportation by the Yellow River or along the road along the Yellow River.
Wuhai is a necessary place between the two places, especially the terrain here, three mountains are surrounded by a stream of water, and the terrain is very dangerous to defend here.
If the Tang army knocked down here, it would be equivalent to taking the north gate of the Xitao Plain.
Wuhai, the sea of Wujin, the most famous thing here in later generations is the coal resources here.

The reserves of high-quality coal and iron ore are extremely amazing.
Well, there is also a sea here, Wuhai Lake.
Due to the topography, the Yellow River has accumulated here into a large lake, which is more than 100 square kilometers, nearly 20 times the size of the West Lake.
Surrounded by mountains and rivers, there are rivers and lakes, a good place.
Not to mention the coal and iron mines, which are still large-scale minerals.
Coal can be mined for coking, and with coke, iron ore can be mined to smelt iron and steel.
Steel is not only extremely important in future generations, but even more so at this time.
If we build some hydraulic workshops and engage in some hydraulic forging hammers along the Yellow River, we will not be able to produce a large number of iron armor and iron tools, not to mention the production of plate armor and so on, even if it is the production of rake and plough and other agricultural tools, which is also extremely important for the expansion and development of the Hetao Plain in the future.
"Great commander, the last general asks for an order, and he is willing to capture this important place."
Su Dingfang asked for battle.
"It's really important here, and if you don't take it, you can't say it.
I decided to go personally."
Li Chao doesn't want to fight for credit, he is a handsome, no matter whose credit he has, he has a share.
It's just that the Turks haven't moved, and Li Chao doesn't dare to be careless, and he also wants to go there to have a look, to explore coal and iron and other minerals, if he can, he also wants to start mining and digging coal, smelting iron, and making steel as soon as possible.
"Here, it's named Ning Yuan."
Li Chao picked up a small red flag and planted it in the Wuhai position, next to the big lake, among the three mountains.
After deciding to personally lead the army, there were many things that followed, but it was not chaotic.
There are detailed regulations in the Shuofang Town Army, and each person is responsible for specific affairs.
Mobilize troops, reorganize the army, draw weapons, transport grain and grass, and even draw up marching routes, set battle plans, and so on.
This army has been branded with Li Chao, and what it pays attention to is to make a plan and make sufficient preparations.
Midday.
Li Chao ate in a restaurant opened by a merchant from the Western Regions in the city, which can be regarded as inspecting the people's market.
It's a very interesting place, and they have a few signature dishes, such as finger lamb rice, large plate of chicken, grilled eggs, red willow kebabs, raisin pilaf, and grilled buns These exotic foods are really tempting.
Whether it's the golden brown and crispy roasted whole lamb or the oily pilaf, it's very popular.
The extra-large skewers of barbecue skewered with red willow branches are at least half a catty in each skewer, a real conscience skewer.
However, Li Chao prefers this house's grilled buns and baked eggs.
Grilled buns are made of leg of lamb with carrots, mutton fat and other ingredients, wrapped in flour and slowly roasted over a fire.
Wait until golden brown and crispy on the outside, then serve.
When eating, instead of eating directly, use a knife to open the bun horizontally and lift the lid to reveal the fragrant and juicy filling.
Cut the crispy bun skin, and sandwich the juicy and tender mutton filling with chopsticks, you can't stop eating it.
"Dashuai, this baked egg is really interesting, these people really think of anything."
Niu Jianhu chose a few eggs, and the Hu people brought the eggs over and buried them in the charcoal ash.
Baked eggs, in fact, are simmered.
After the charcoal is burned, the outside is covered with cold charcoal ash, so that the fire is not big, and the eggs will burst when they are big.
It won't be small, and if it's small, it won't be cooked.
Hot charcoal plus cold charcoal ash, just right.
"Bring me medium-rare," after Yu Chi Baolin chose the eggs, she didn't forget to shout at a orchid who was burying the eggs over there.
This baked egg shop has a booming business, and Li Chao feels that half of the credit is for the baked egg orchids in this shop.
The owner of this shop is very business-minded, and he got several beautiful young orchids and baked eggs here.
The shopkeeper of the Hu people came with an apron and nodded at Li Chao and lowered his waist.
"I don't know what egg the handsome wants, it's a little cooked" There are many varieties of baked eggs in this shop, not only duck eggs and goose eggs, but also all kinds of bird eggs, which are rare and very fresh, the eggs can be chosen by the guests, and the candle flame shines on them, and the red inside is the fresh egg, if it is black, it is a bad egg.
"Bake two eggs and medium-rare."
The orchids who bake the eggs are very skilled and are able to accurately control the heat and time according to the preferences of the guests.
If you want to be a little cooked, you can get a little cooked, and if you want to get a little cooked, the egg yolk is generally still alive and can be drunk directly.
Li Chao would rather cook a little, peel off some eggshells, eat some egg greens on top, and then sprinkle some cumin, refined salt, etc. on the egg yolk egg greens.

Boss Hu Ren retreated with a smile, and Li Chao sat in the small but clean shop, very satisfied.
More and more merchants came, and many of them were Hu merchants like the owner.
Some of these Hu merchants are merchants, but some of them come and see the excitement here, so they stop here, rent shops here, open business here, and become businessmen.
"Eating less eggs, eating too much is not good for the body."
Li Chao looked at Cheng Chumo, who had ordered ten eggs in one go, and said.
Li Gan laughed at Cheng Chumo on the side, "Some people are drunkards who don't mean to drink, you really think he came here for the eggs here, someone ordered ten eggs, just to take the opportunity to chat with the baked egg orchid." ” Cheng Chu was silent, "This shop lets orchids bake eggs, doesn't it just want to attract some business, I came here to eat baked eggs, and laugh with his orchids, what's the matter?"
Li Chao gave Cheng Chumo a thumbs up.
"It's good, dare to do it, look at the orchid, look at the orchid, what's this, I came here to eat baked eggs, and I would like to look at this beautiful baked egg orchid sister" "Dashuai, you don't really like the little girl with baked eggs here, isn't it your sister-in-law in Beijing, you are not around Mrs.
Ru, Dashuai is lonely and lonely, which one do you like, let's help you say, I believe that Sister Orchid will definitely be willing to go with you, and the owner will be very happy." ", I just admire, and I don't have to possess, you think everyone is like you" t1706231537:
