Chapter 665: Cannibalization
Since the knights discovered the strange movements of the aliens on the grassland, there have been some changes in Longhua. The first point is that the intensity and frequency of the aliens' attacks on the Han Dynasty camp have increased, and another point is that some people have discovered that the attacks of the alien cavalry seem to improved.
The impact of this change on Huangfu Chaobo was mainly reflected in Longhua. The first thing to bear the impact was that horse roping and horse training were seriously affected.
In the past, Huyanda dared to lead five to six hundred miles into the grassland and search for the wild horses for dozens of days, but now the Xianbei tribe appeared less than two hundred miles north of Longhua. Although it was only a medium-sized tribe of 10,000 to 20,000 people, the sequelae appeared after the previous war ended, and the Xianbei people were already very alert.
Therefore, everyone in Sizhou is also supportive of this battle, and not only that, they also hope that Gongsun Zan can stand firm on the grassland, at least on the edge of the grassland, so that he can be better to share the pressure of Longhua.
Thinking of this, Huangfu Chaobo looked at Pang Tong beside him. Pang Tong understood and stepped forward two steps: "Second General, my lord actually has some ideas about this expedition, and he just wants to have a discussion with General Fenwu and other generals."
"Sir, is..." Gongsun Chao looked at the young man in front of him and asked doubtfully;
"Oh," Huangfu Chaobo stood up and said, "It was Chaobo's negligence. Let me introduce him to Brother Bogui and everyone. This person is Chaobo's close friend, the nephew and disciple of Pang Degong, a great scholar in Jingzhou, Pang Tong Pang Shiyuan of Xiangyang."
"Your Excellency is Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan, known as Mr. Fengchu?" Gongsun Zan was surprised and said;
As for Pang Tong's name, he became famous in one battle, especially as Huangfu Chaobo's ally, Gongsun Zan even learned more about the details of the Battle of Luoyang at that time. So when I heard Pang Tong's name, I no longer dared to look down upon the strange-looking young man in front of me.
After receiving Pang Tong's affirmative answer, Gongsun Zan quickly stood up and saluted, and had someone bring a chair for Pang Tong to sit on. In fact, Gongsun Zan still respected scholars, but because of his background, his personality was a bit strong.
After Pang Tong sat down, Gongsun Zan asked respectfully: "I wonder what Mr. Feng Chu can teach me! Please give me some advice, sir!"
Pang Tong stood up and returned the greeting, and then said: "I don't want to take it seriously. I just have some ideas that I want to share with the general."
With that said, Pang Tong stood up and walked to the map in the hall, pointing at several places on the map and speaking slowly. As a result of everyone's discussion in Luoyang, after the failure of the Suli army's attack on Youzhou last time, they did not completely return their troops to the royal court of Xianbei in the east.
Instead, many large, medium and small tribes have been arranged in suitable pastures throughout the grassland. This is why the Xianbei cavalry has been attacking and coaxing more recently than before.
For these Xianbei people, everyone believes that the best way to deal with them is to push the front to the grassland, and occupy and digest the area between the grassland and Youzhou. In this way, proceed step by step and advance step by step. By then, the safety of Youzhou and even Longhua will be completely guaranteed.
Of course, for any force to occupy such a wide area, the cost required will be staggering. The cost of building a city alone is a staggering amount.
But don’t forget that there are an equally astonishing number of players in this game. If Gongsunzan can occupy some key positions, and then hand over some of the surrounding positions suitable for city building development to one or several player forces at a certain cost. If we come to operate it, given time, these areas will be completely controllable. Of course, the selection of these forces requires some effort.
As Pang Tongyong spoke, he pointed out Pingquan, Ningcheng, Luanping, Shuangluan and other places one by one. Gongsunzan and others listened and nodded continuously.
After Pang Tong finished speaking, Gongsun Zan stepped forward and bowed respectfully and said: "Sir's words are shocking and shocking. They are indeed the words of an old man who wants to seek the country. In this way, we only need to control a few key locations." city,
However, you can use foreign towns to block the threat of foreign cavalry to Youzhou. It is really clever! "
Regarding Gongsun Zan's salute, Pang Tong accepted it, and then said: "Therefore, according to my general's intention, there is no need to give so many benefits to strangers during this expedition."
After Gongsun Zan and others came to their senses, Pang Tong continued. It is clear that Gongsun Zan not only does not need to give too many benefits to foreigners this time, but he can also get a lot of benefits from foreigners.
According to the discussion with Huangfu Chaobo, after Gongsun Zan captured the large Xianbei camp, he immediately used the prisoners to build a city there and protected it as a strong city stronghold. Then, mark out several nearby locations suitable for building a city, recruit strangers who have reached a certain level of merit, and auction these strangers. At the same time, it is guaranteed that these places will be protected by Gongsun Zanjun before they reach the level of a big town. .
Then Pang Tong introduced to Gongsun Zan in detail how to conduct auctions, how to operate behind the scenes, how to select strangers, etc. Gongsun Zan and everyone else were stunned. Regarding the auction, Gongsun Yue and others had witnessed Huangfu Chaobo's slave auctions many times, and were no longer surprised by this. However, after hearing what Pang Tong said this time, they realized that there was so much content in it.
Speaking of the last thing, Pang Tong also mentioned it a little bit. Because the distance between Longhua and Junmi was too far, Huangfu Chaobo planned to build another small city between Longhua and Junmi.
Gongsun Zan didn't care about Huangfu Chaobo's idea of building a city. In his opinion, the land outside the Great Wall was not his. He didn't need his consent to build a city anywhere. He thought that Huangfu Chaobo told him that he wanted to build a city out of respect for his allies. What he was considering now was whether what Pang Tong said was feasible. He always felt strange. Would the foreigners really snatch the right to build cities in those places from him?
He wanted to ask several times, but when he saw Pang Tong's determined look, he was embarrassed to speak again.
Pang Tong, who was standing aside, saw Gongsun Zan's look and smiled and said, "General Fenwu, do you find it a little incredible?"
Gongsun Zan hesitated for a moment, but still nodded.
Pang Tong smiled and said, "No problem. General, you can discuss with the Second General and other generals to decide which key positions must be in your hands and which positions can be handed over to the aliens. Then consider which alien forces you can rely on. Before the expedition, gather all the leaders of the alien forces and announce it. Then you will know. If this succeeds, it will be a great benefit to the general. If not, the general will not suffer any loss."
