I was engaged in infrastructure construction in the Han Dynasty [Transmigration Book]

On the day when the vanguard of the army arrived in Liaoxi County, Liu Tan deliberately put everything aside and waited there, preparing to weigh the opponent's identity and character first.

However, when the general came in to salute, Liu Tan stood up in surprise and asked, "Why are you?"

The man in the hall was still kneeling on one knee: "My minister Li Xi pays his respects to the King of the Northern Territory."

Liu Tan hurriedly got down from his seat, helped Li Xi up and said, "I didn't expect it to be you. Didn't you guard the Golden City before? Who is sent over there now?"

Li Xi was obviously also very excited, and said to Liu Tan with a flushed face, "I... I never thought that the Golden City has been handed over to a newly promoted general. Please rest assured, Your Highness."

Both of them subconsciously ignored that Li Xi was not a vassal of the Northern Kingdom, so strictly speaking, he could not be a vassal.

In fact, Liu Tan is not worried. The Golden City was isolated before, so a capable general was needed to guard it. Now the Captain’s Mansion and the Protector’s Mansion have been built there. Even if they are not fully built, they are still stationed there With a lot of soldiers sent over to work, plus Lu Xuan and Princess Danyang, who would dare to touch the Golden City after eating the bear heart?

Probably because of this, Liu Che was able to let Li Xi leave at ease.

Liu Tan pulled Li Xi to sit down and said, "You guys are too tight to hide from me. If I had known this, I would have brought Li Buyan out."

Li Xi smiled and said, "I don't want to surprise His Highness."

It was quite a surprise. Before Liu Tan, he wondered why Liu Che's imperial edict had not come down. Even if he was to lead the army, he would have to be assisted. He never expected such a surprise to be held back.

Li Xi shook his head and said, "Li Buyan also has a heavy responsibility now, let him guard the surrendered city well."

Liu Tan stretched his eyebrows and said, "Since it's you, I'm relieved. I'll leave the war to you and leave the rest to me."

Li Xi immediately cupped his hands and said: "This time, I came here to assist His Highness, and I dare not step over my head to do it for me."

Liu Tan was very calm: "You know what's going on with me, and I don't know how to fight."

Li Xi was helpless: "If His Highness says he can't fight, how many people in the big man can fight?"

Liu Tan sighed: "In the past, I used to rely on some special things to win wars. To be honest, it means that the army is ready, but now... there are some tricks. The Liaodong County is in the hands of the opponent, and our people are in the hands of the opponent. It can't be so simple and rude."

Li Xi was really relieved. To be honest, he had studied Liu Tan's war situation before. Even if he was close to Liu Tan, he had to admit that Liu Tan's way of fighting was too simple and rude.

Facing the enemy head-on means three rounds of long-range strikes and then let the soldiers harvest.

As he said, the armaments in his hands are the best. The crossbow has a long range, and there are hand crossbows at close range. The bow and arrow are also equipped with sights, which lowers the requirements for talent a lot.

And even the armor of the soldiers is much better than that of the opponent. Maybe they just feel a little shocked when the opponent slashes them, but if they slash someone else, they will either die or be disabled.

This time Li Xi was on the road thinking about how to persuade Liu Tan, this time the war is different from the past, we have to take it easy.

Fortunately, His Royal Highness knew everything. Li Xi said with a look of relief: "So we have to think about it in the long run. It just happens that the weather here is getting colder now, and it is not suitable to go to war again. But if we wait until next year, we have to settle these soldiers first."

Liu Tan waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about this, the city has already started to be built."

Li Xi was stunned for a moment: "Jiancheng?"

Liu Tan immediately asked someone to bring over the blueprint of the new city and said, "Let's take a look and make changes if you are not satisfied."

Li Xi: ...

What could he be dissatisfied with?Looking at the whole world, there is no one who can compare with their highness in terms of construction projects. His highness will be the best if he doesn't make a move.

The buildings and houses on that drawing are very neat, even if Li Xi has no pursuit in this area, he likes it very much.

He hesitated and said, "Is this... a bit of a big fight?"

Could it be that His Royal Highness is not very optimistic about this expedition?Think it will be a protracted battle?

Liu Tan said: "You have also seen what Liaoxi County is like during this journey. It happens that this city will be used as a new city for them after the war. It is not a waste."

After hearing this, Li Xi couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I heard that the situation in Yan State was not good before, but I didn't expect it to become like this."

Before Emperor Qin unified the six kingdoms, Yan Kingdom was considered one of the most powerful countries. Although many years have passed, it is still a bit embarrassing to become like this now.

Liu Tan said: "It's useless to say anything. I can't pull Liu Dan up from the ground and kill him again. I can only see how to develop the country of Yan. But let's not mention this. Father wrote a letter, and later we will find a place to build a deep-water port."

Li Xi froze for a moment: "Deep water port?"

Liu Tan nodded: "Look at the map, I think we can go ashore by sea. Wuhuan definitely didn't expect that we would go by sea, and there might be a surprise at that time."

Li Xi's whole body was numb, which was a bit beyond his knowledge.

He has fought wars on land all his life, when did he fight at sea?

He smiled wryly and said: "This... I don't dare to make a decision. If your highness wants to fight a naval battle, why not ask your majesty for instructions and call some generals of the building and boats over."

If it were any other time, Li Xi might still be eager to give it a try. On land, he dare not say that he has won every battle, but he is still a relatively powerful general in the world. If he wants to go further, he must meet a formidable opponent. Or just figure it out yourself.

He didn't want to encounter the first of these two points, and he knew in his heart that it was probably unlikely. At this time, it would be a good choice to expand his professional scope.

It's a pity that this time it's time to fight Wuhuan, and the leader is the King of the Northern Territory. If he loses the battle because of his lack of experience, it will affect the reputation of his Royal Highness.

He himself doesn't care, and it's not that he hasn't lost a battle. It's common to win or lose in such things as war.

But the King of the North was different. His Royal Highness had never lost a battle, so everyone around Liu Tan wanted to subconsciously maintain this hard-won achievement.

Liu Tan didn't care much about himself. He didn't even know that his subordinates still had this idea. If he knew, he would be dumbfounded.

After listening to Li Xi's words, he realized later that the big man still had a navy. The generals of the navy were called Louchuan generals, but there were very few navy troops. No matter how tall, the people Liu Tan has been in contact with all the year round do not have this class, so he subconsciously ignores this point.

However, if there is another Louchuan general, then there may be a situation where the guest usurps the host.

Li Xi is now leading the army. He definitely cannot go back, but if he chooses to go on the sea, he will entrust the full power to General Lai Louchuan.

Without knowing the character of the other party, Liu Tan did not want to entrust all his hopes on the other party.

So he thought for a while and said: "It's not a sea battle. The Wuhuan people don't have warships. How can we fight a sea battle? We are at sea and they are on the shore. How can we fight? I just want to land from the sea and fight them one by one. We are caught off guard, and if it fails, we can withdraw from the sea at any time."

Li Xi thought so too. There is not even a larger lake in Wuhuan, but there is a river, but that river is more of a living water for them.

After Liaodong County was occupied by them, it was the only place in their territory that was close to the sea. It is estimated that these people will not know much about the sea for a while.

Li Xi's heart moved. Although he is far away in the Western Regions, he often communicates with Chang'an. At the beginning, he heard that His Royal Highness the King of the Northern Realm made a very good building boat, but he has never been able to see it. Maybe this time he will have a chance. .

Li Xi looked down at the map and said, "It's just that... I'm afraid that some soldiers who can board the ship must be selected."

Although taking the sea route is just another way, if a seasick person goes up, even if they get off the ship, their combat effectiveness will drop a lot.

Liu Tan said: "It's just right, I've sent someone to bring the ship over, anyway, if you don't want to do anything in a short time, then let's train first."

Li Xi asked: "Will you startle the snake?"

Liu Tan clicked on a location on the map: "Go to Guangyang County, there is also a sea there, and there is still a distance from Liaodong County, Wuhuan people will definitely not be able to find it."

Li Xi nodded and didn't say anything more. Now he just made a rough strategy, and many things will have to wait until next year.

Liu Tan looked at the time and said: "Let's set the meal, you should take a rest after eating, and I'll take you to see the military equipment tomorrow. It's not too much, and it looks like it can arm 2 or [-] people at most. So we have to choose the elite to equip."

Li Xi's eyes lit up when he heard the word "military equipment", and he wished he could go over and have a look without eating.

Liu Tan is very familiar with this kind of gaze. Originally, Li Buyan and the others were all fine when they were in Chang'an, but after arriving in the northern border country, they even learned the stink of fighting for armaments. What is new is this expression and eyes.

Well, Li Buyan is still very similar to his father, so Liu Tan felt a headache when he saw Li Xi's expression and said directly: "No one will compete with you for armaments, you should give me a good meal first!"

Li Xi smiled a little embarrassedly. After hearing these words, he felt relieved and became more honest. Of course, the main reason was that he was worried that if he didn't listen to the King of the North, what would happen if he turned around and the King of the North took back the armaments? ?

During the meal, Liu Tan said smoothly, "Speaking of which, the sheriff of Guangyang County seems to be relative to you."

Li Xi looked blank: "Huh?"

Liu Tan smiled and said, "I heard from him that in terms of seniority, he seems to be from your grandpa's generation."

Li Xi:? ? ?
