Chapter 152: Base
There were thousands of men, women, young and old in Wudu Village in the valley, and it became lively immediately. Although I couldn't bear the fertile land in Wudu River and the family business accumulated by my ancestors, I remembered the cruel revenge that the Mongolians were about to come, and all the villagers were still
I had to leave my hometown with tears in my eyes. This valley, called Hulu Valley by Yun Zhao and others, was dozens of miles long, the narrowest part was only a few hundred meters, and the widest part was two miles long.
The inlet is narrow, and then gradually widens. After walking inward for more than ten miles, the entire valley suddenly gathers inward, and the steep peaks and cliffs protrude into the valley. Here, the valley has only a hole less than a hundred meters, crossing this section.
After a long journey of about a mileage, the valley has become wider again. If you stand high enough, you will find that this valley looks like a huge gourd.
Hulu Valley is hidden in the Bayankara Mountains, extremely secret. After Yun Zhao and his group escaped into Bayankara Mountains, they unexpectedly discovered that this natural valley is not inferior to Yingzhu Rock and is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
After that, they were overjoyed. Compared with Eagle Beak Rock, Hulu Valley is larger, and even if there are tens of thousands of people living there, it is more than enough.
Yun Zhao accompanied Jiang Feng to inspect the valley. The arrow caused a lot of damage to Jiang Feng. The sharp arrow caused a penetrating injury on his shoulder. If it were a young man, he would still be able to withstand it, but Jiang Feng would be
As he got older, he was so weak that he lost a lot of blood. Yun Zhao found the most docile horse, led by Jiang Xu, and the group carefully observed the terrain of Hulu Valley.
Jiang Feng was a lieutenant in the regular army of Dayue in his early years. If he had not been discouraged and insisted on releasing his troops and returning to the fields, but insisted on hanging in the army, then he could have become a general. His military qualities
Of course, it is not comparable to Yun Zhao and others.
"This is a good place!" Jiang Feng was happy, "I lived at the foot of Bayankara Mountain for half my life. I didn't even know that there was such a good place in this vast mountain. Yun Zhao. How did you find it?
Here?"
Yun Zhaomei opened his eyes and said, "This is completely lucky. When we escaped into the mountains, we were completely disgusted with the Bayankara Mountains. We accidentally discovered this place."
"It's really God's will!" Jiang Feng sighed: "A good place can store troops and support the people. In terms of the entire valley, I'm afraid it's not a radius of hundreds of miles?"
"Absolutely!" Yun Zhao nodded, "This valley is dozens of miles long, and the widest part is about two miles. In total, it is almost a radius of hundreds of miles."
"This place can be used as a permanent base." Jiang Feng said happily: "Cut off all the trees in this valley. A lot of fertile fields can be opened. Look, the land here is so fertile, even if you only sow the seeds
, I’m afraid there will be no wrong harvest after autumn, not to mention that we are not short of good people serving crops here now.”
"The old man said it is right. Food is the foundation. We can't always grab it. If we can solve part of the food ourselves, it is a long-term solution. In the future, the population here will become more and more." Yun Zhao said confidently.
.
"If there are only 10,000 or 20,000 people, the grain produced in this valley can be self-sufficient, but if there are too many people, it will not work." Jiang Feng smiled and said, "We have to avoid another way and find ways in many ways."
Yun Zhao looked at these things, "What can I do with the old man? Although we are not many now, we are always going to make plans early."
"Your idea is good." Jiang Feng praised: "Think everything ahead. When things come, you will naturally not be in a hurry. Yun Zhao, in fact, there are treasures everywhere in Bayankala Mountains. As long as you are careful, you will naturally
Can find a way out of wealth.”
"Please give me some advice." Yun Zhao said sincerely.
"Not to mention the rest, the most common and easiest thing in Bayankala is medicinal materials and various medicinal materials." Jiang Feng smiled and said: "These medicinal materials are all over the Bayankala Mountains. If they are picked back, add a little
If you make and transport it, you can get a large amount of money. Yun Zhao, in this troubled world, war is probably common, so the demand for medicinal materials will be huge and the profit will be extremely high. Therefore, this is a
The way to livestock.”
"Old man is very careful!" Yun Zhao smiled and said, "When spring comes, we can organize people to go into the mountains to pick them. Well, we can even open up some slopes in the valley to specialize in planting medicinal materials."
Jiang Feng smiled and said, "Growing medicinal materials is a technical job. We don't have experts in this field now. Moreover, if the medicinal materials can be fabricated and sold, the profit will be higher. Unfortunately, we don't have this either.
Manpower in the field.”
Yun Zhao thought of someone in his heart, "You don't have to worry about this. I have a hand. After the spring comes, I will bring him."
"If there is such a candidate, it is naturally the best, but this is still second, and the most important thing is another point."
"The old man is right..."
"Transportation route! The way to export!" Jiang Feng turned his head to look at Yun Zhao. "Now Tanzhou is besieged. Even if there is goods, it cannot be exported through Tanzhou. There is a small path in Anqing that passes through Bayankala Mountain and can enter
Yizhou, but this road is firmly controlled by the Anqing garrison. This road is also the reason why Anqing can persist until now. If you pass this road, you will not be able to avoid the eyes and ears of the Anqing garrison."
Yun Zhao nodded, "I understand, that is to say, if we now want to contact the outside world and send these things out in exchange for a large sum of money, this path must be controlled in our hands."
Jiang Feng smiled and said, "Yes, of course, if Tanzhou can repel the attack of the Mongolian army and force the Mongolian army to retreat, then we can also export through Tanzhou. Tanzhou is a big local area, so it is easy to escape their eyes and ears.
There are too many."
Yun Zhao shook his head, "Old Master, this is probably unlikely. Judging from the Mongolian army's stance, I'm afraid it's going to take down Tanzhou. Now on the ground of Tanzhou, the Mongolian army has mobilized Tatar troops and Zarchiwu.
The elite Mongolian troops, including the Ti troops, the big tent soldiers, have planned to have nearly 100,000 troops. In this season, such a large-scale operation, it can be seen that the other party has made up his mind to take down Tanzhou. It is hard to say when Tanzhou can hold on?
Once Tanzhou is lost, Anqing will become the only city controlled by Dayue in this garden for tens of thousands of miles, and it is also our only breathing channel. Therefore, this road must be controlled by us."
"But Yue Ming attaches great importance to this lifeline. How can you take it down and control it in your hands?" Jiang Feng said in confusion.
Yun Zhao smiled, "Old Master, there are tens of thousands of Mongolian troops gathered under Anqing City. What is their purpose? It must be to take Anqing. If the Mongolian generals are not stupid, they will definitely attack here first. After these few
The mountain is blocked by heavy snow in the moon. Anqing must have been on the verge of collapse now, and it is difficult to resist the strong attack of the Mongolian army. Therefore, this is our opportunity, old man, these basic constructions in Hulu Valley and zero-point totals.
I want to ask you to take charge of the things I have to focus on training the troops. We are not many, so we can only take the elite route. I need to be reborn when we attack."
Among the thousands of people in Hulu Valley, mainly the villagers of Wuduhe Village. Jiang Feng has a huge influence and a prestige among them. He asked him to take charge of daily affairs in the valley, which was the best candidate.
"Don't worry, go and train troops. Leave these daily trivial matters to me!" Jiang Feng smiled and said, "Although I am old, I can't carry the knife or draw the bow, my mind is still active."
"It's just the old man's injury?" Yun Zhao asked worriedly.
"It's not going to be dead!" Jiang Feng touched the wound, "tǐngtǐng will pass."
The two rode their horses and talked while walking.
"Although Hulu Valley is hidden, easy to defend and difficult to attack, it cannot be taken lightly. A fortress must be set up at the entrance of the valley, and sentries must be set up on the peaks on both sides. At the entrance of the valley, you might as well make more traps and disguises to protect the safety of the valley." Jiang Feng said
: "If we pass by now, if we have the strength in the future, we can build a city wall, build soldiers outside, and live in the inside, and some other important things. There are many good things in the big belly of this Hulu Valley.
As long as you get stuck here, even if there are thousands of enemies, it will be difficult to break through it."
"You are right. Now we have no money or supplies, so we can only temporarily repair some simple protection, and we should do it step by step!" Yun Zhao said with a smile.
The front of Hulu Valley has been opened into a military camp and a schoolyard. With the addition of Wudu River villagers, Yun Zhao's troops have already reached more than 500 people. What makes Yun Zhao even more happy is that these five hundred people are besides the previous ones.
More than 30 horse bandits, others have also entered at least one battle and have seen blood. With such an experience, it will be of great help to them in the future.
The experience accumulated by those who have struggled on the brink of life and death is more effective than the instructors’ usual advice.
Hulu Valley became lively in this cold winter, and these people who had lost their home burst out with great enthusiasm. The whole valley was filled with working people, and the snow was removed, revealing the black soil below, almost all the valley was in
The trees were cut down to build houses. Under Jiang Feng's command, the entire valley was planned in an orderly manner, living areas, farming areas, and roads were only short.
In less than ten days, a prototype took place.
In the military area outside, the 500 troops were divided into several groups. Under the leadership of slaughtering tigers and bears, Hao Ren was training. The Tu brothers trained infantry, while Hao Ren found them from the soldiers.
More than a hundred people who can ride horses and have a certain riding foundation will train their combat skills on horseback. Now they don’t expect them to be able to shoot arrows on horseback, but at least they must ensure that they can slash people with swords when riding on horseback.
The Hulu Valley is now in sufficient supplies, and Yun Zhao led his subordinates to grab a batch, but Datou was still brought by the villagers of Wuduhe Village. The village with thousands of people actually had more than hundreds of thousands of kilograms of grain in the cellar, which surprised Yun Zhao.
, these food stocks are enough to make them survive the most difficult days.
