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

Let's start from the beginning. Liu Tan's passing Zhengdan in the northern border country is basically just a formality, and he will come back to give everyone a year-end bonus and hold an event.

Although those activities have been set up since the first year here, and they have been like this every year, but every year is very enthusiastic-probably no one doesn't like the feeling of giving out money.

In particular, Liu Tan often distributes practical money and commemorative gold horseshoes together, which has both face and face. Coupled with the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year, the atmosphere is naturally more enthusiastic.

And Liu Tan also received the "Year-end Award" from his parents and brother, oh, in fact, there was also Princess Li.

However, the original words of Princess Lichang were to give Liu Tan some lucky money.

Liu Tan, who is already 23 years old: ...

Okay, I heard that there is a custom in some places that people who are not married can always get lucky money.

Liu Tan took the account book and smiled at Lu Xuan: "It seems that I can take the lucky money given by my family for the rest of my life."

What he said was ordinary, but to Lu Xuan, it seemed to be the most beautiful love words in the world. Excited, he hugged Liu Tan who was still settling accounts and went back to the room directly.

Liu Tan was happily picking up the abacus, but he was taken away with the abacus, and he was a little confused.

What follows is a night of indulgence.

In other words, Liu Tan stayed in the northern border country for as long as he lived in the palace, and he didn't even go to see the lanterns.

He and Lu Xuan would get together to talk even if they weren't singing every night.

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Liu Tan set off to return to Yan Kingdom again. In front of everyone, Liu Tan couldn't help but hugged Lu Xuan, put his chin on his shoulder and said, "When you worship your ancestors in summer, I'll go find you."

Lu Xuan said: "Don't be too eager, we still have a long time, there is always a chance."

Liu Tan didn't know what was wrong, but wanted to go there very much, so he said with a smile: "At that time, your royal city should have begun to take shape, so I just went to have a look."

Lu Xuan persuaded him not to say a word, he believed that Liu Tan must have his own ideas, so he responded with a smile: "Okay."

The two of them were bored there, but the others around them were forced to look up at the sky and the earth.

After the two of them had finally finished keeping warm, the King of the North finally boarded the car and left, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Xuan turned his head to look at Huo Guang and said, "If Ah Tan encounters any trouble, you must tell me."

Huo Guang naturally wouldn't be polite to him: "Okay."

In the past, he did reject Lu Xuan a little, but now he finds that Lu Xuan is there to make him feel at ease.

In the absence of Liu Tan and the absence of the elite regiment, the force value of the entire northern border country has dropped a bit-of course, their soldiers have been trained according to the new military training method, although these soldiers are slightly worse than the elite regiment, but It is also limited, and with a large enough number of people, the strength of the northern border country is actually increasing rather than decreasing.

But without Liu Tan, everyone seems to have no backbone in terms of martial arts.

Huo Guang was fine in handling other affairs, but he really lacked a bit of talent to lead the army in battle.

Now that Lu Xuan is watching and helping each other, at least they will have reinforcements when they are in danger.

But who would have thought that the Xiongnu didn't come here to trouble them, but went to the country of Yan to find trouble with Liu?

After Liu Tan went all the way to the country of Yan, Li Xi had already made the final preparations. After Liu Tan returned, he directly launched the wartime plan.

But before that, Liu Tan took a look at the port of Guangyang County.

The ports of this era are different from those of later generations, because they only need to be able to park ships, and the requirements for transporting goods are not very high, so they don’t need to be built too well. It is already good now. If there is a need for transportation in the future, it will be expanded. good.

What made him concerned was the warships. The ships he got before were used for long-distance voyages and transportation, but there were no warships.

The warship this time is actually based on the ship that took over Liu Che before, adding the positions of stepping crossbows and crossbowmen, as well as some catapults, which are smaller than catapults, and are mainly used to throw black powder of.

However, if it is not a last resort, Liu Tan actually does not want to use this thing on the ship. On land, the throwing speculators can be dispersed. A place, but on the ship, the ship may be scrapped.

Fortunately, the ships of the Wuhuan people are not very advanced. They probably wouldn't go to sea to fight naval battles. As long as they don't fight naval battles, this ship is only used for landing.

Liu Tan circled around, and after making sure that all the equipment was in place, he turned to Li Xi and asked, "Is the supply of food available?"

Li Xi's eyes lit up: "Don't worry, Your Highness, there is enough food and grass."

Now most of their food and grass are provided by the northern border country. He did not expect the northern border country to develop to the present level in just a few years. I heard that the arable land of the northern border country has expanded by more than [-]% compared to before. , This grain output is terrifying.

That is to say, the processing industry of various soybean products in the northern border country is very developed, otherwise so many soybeans would be thrown into the hands.

As for other countries in the north, they also have food, and a large part of it is provided by Zhongshan.

Liu Fuling, King of Zhongshan, rumored to have a very bad relationship with the King of the Northern Realm. It is said that when he changed the title of King of Zhongshan from the King of Qi, it was the King of the Northern Realm who wrote it.

So even though Zhongshan Kingdom is bordered by Yan Kingdom and Northern Border Kingdom, Liu Tan didn't have much contact with him before.

Unexpectedly, Zhongshan State sold the grain and grass to Yan State at a very low price this time.

After hearing this, Liu Tan turned to Li Xi and asked, "Did he say anything?"

Li Xi shook his head: "The ones who sold us food and grass were all businessmen who said they were doing their part to drive away Wuhuan. Look, Your Highness..."

Liu Tan shook his head and laughed: "It's okay, if he doesn't say it, just pretend he doesn't know. We'll talk about it later."

Because the Zhongshan Kingdom quoted a very low price of grain, it invisibly made the reserve of military grain very sufficient. Li Xi reckoned that there would be no problem for at least one year.

However, even if he could persist for a year, Li Xi would never do so. He worried that His Royal Highness the King of the North would run out of patience after three months.

Liu Tan turned to look at Li Xi and asked, "How did you arrange it? The soldiers are divided into two groups, who will lead the team?"

Li Xi hesitated for a while and said: "I... I think that Wei Deng and Li Ling should lead the team on the Hailu side, and it is better to drive north to Wuhuan and let the minister come. After all, it is necessary to be cautious when going deep into the opponent's hinterland. of."

According to Li Xi's thinking, since it was Bo Xishi who did it, then just beat Bo Xishi directly.

It's just that His Royal Highness obviously put the blame on Wuhuan as a whole, so what else can we do?He could only do as he was told.

Liu Tan asked with a smile: "Don't you want to go on a warship to show your prestige? This can be recorded in history."

He really didn't talk nonsense. This warship is the first warship after the improvement of shipbuilding technology, and it is also the first warship to go to war. As long as it can win and the big man can gain supremacy at sea in the future, then this A ship of war and the man who first led it will surely go down in history.

Li Xi was entangled for a moment, the temptation to be famous in history is greater than anything else.

Even if he conquered the Xiongnu back then, he would definitely be able to leave a name, but Wei and Huo were more dazzling. He belonged to the kind who followed behind these two people and was easily remembered.

Being able to be recorded as a general, no one can resist.

However, after being silent, he still said: "Forget it, there will always be a chance in the future."

After weighing the gains and losses, he felt that the most important thing was to win, and he had to help Liu talk about this.

After hearing this, Liu Tan looked at him for a while and said, "If you can conquer Wuhuan's royal city, I will allow you to enter the city."

Li Xi's eyes lit up. This is much more useful than being the first to lead a ship to go out. Anyway, this time the warship goes out to form a multi-faceted attack on Wuhuan, and it will not compete with Wuhuan at sea at all. It is more useful to take down the king city at once.

Without waiting for him to say anything, Liu Tan said again: "It just so happens that the Surrendered City should be very quiet recently, let Li Buyan come over, I feel more at ease with the three of them staring at that side."

In this way, even if the name on this ship is really left in history, Li Buyan can still get a record. If Li Buyan has achievements in the future and can get a biography of himself, then he will definitely write his father's name on it, too. It is a curve to save the country.

It's just that this time Li Xi didn't think about such a long-term thing. What he thought was that if his son could get this share of military exploits, it must be better than anything else.

He thanked Liu Tan very seriously.

Liu Tan stood in front of the window and took a deep breath: "Since everything is ready, let's leave tomorrow."

Because of the division of troops, Liu Tan struggled for a while and stayed in Jicheng to see off the army. Since Guangling County is marching in a straight line by sea, it must be faster than marching by land, so it will be a few days later, just waiting for Li Buyi to hurry up. Come here, when the time comes, he is going to Guangling County to mobilize the army.

On the day of bidding farewell to the army, Liu Tan stood on the city wall, only belatedly realizing the concept of a hundred thousand army.

And it's not that the [-] troops gathered here, it's just some representatives. If the [-] troops were to stand in Chen Wang's place, there would be no room. Looking at the black heads below, his blood boiled for a while.

The only thing that made him feel that there was a fly in the ointment was that the armor of these soldiers was not very good. In terms of weapons, only a small part of the elite had the best and most advanced weapons in the northern border country, and the rest were not good.

This is also something that can’t be helped. When the northern border country made these weapons, it was impossible to do it according to the number of [-] troops. Do you want to rebel?

It is impossible for a vassal state to raise an army of 3, at most [-] to [-].

Now these are sent as spares, only [-] to [-] sets, which can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket in front of an army of [-].

It's a pity that Liu Tan couldn't wait any longer, and didn't want to wait any longer.

He turned his head to Li Xi and drank the wine bowl in his hand, then fell to the ground without using those official words, just said: "May the general win the flag and return safely."
