A counter-ambush battle ended soon. In addition to the corpses left on the shore of Liaoshui, people felt particularly disappointed. Looking into the fields in late autumn, the empty and lofty not only made people feel comfortable but also refreshed.

Zang Ba led his team to the upper reaches of the Great Liao River for two days, and finally arrived at the location where the Raole River merged into the Liao River, which is also the closest place to the new city of Changchun.

The fleet has already docked steadily on the river bank. Although the ship had to stand in the silt in order to get close to the shore, as long as the large number of steel armor and weapons pressed against the bottom of the cabin were taken out, the stranded ship would naturally escape with the help of increased buoyancy.

Zang Ba did not understand the navy, but he had military vision. After Zhang Xiu led the large army to arrive, he was preparing to propose the construction of a dock, transfer warehouse and peripheral defense facilities on the edge of the river channel here.

After sweeping away all forces in Liaodong in the future, the new city of Changchun will definitely play a very important role. It can be foreseeable that a large amount of goods in the Northeast region will need to be transported to the Yellow River Basin by the Daliao water, and many commodities in the Central Plains region will also need to be transported to the Northeast by the help of water. Building docks and warehouses here can greatly reduce the cost of land transportation and strengthen the connection between the Northeast and the Central Plains region.

The injured and sacrificed soldiers were already escorted to Changchun. Before the next battle came, there was still some free time for some tired soldiers to rest.

The silent soldier of Fuyu, following the instructions of the Han army brothers, learned to dig deer trenches, set up red-resistance forts and build temporary simple camps. After a few days of battle, these Fuyu soldiers completely saw the true face of the Canglang Army.

If it weren't for seeing the desperate attack of the heavy armored cavalry with one's own eyes, the soldiers of Fuyu might have thought that the heavy armored cavalry they boasted about were cowhides.

The soldiers of Fuyu, who have always advocated power, were impressed by the powerful power displayed by the heavy armored iron cavalry. They sent representatives to find Zang Ba and asked if the soldiers of Fuyu are qualified to be selected as the heavy jockey in the future. Zang Ba replied to them: "The Canglang Army is composed of brothers from the Han, Yaoxing and Huangxuan. As long as the brothers of Fuyu are capable and willing to be loyal to the Canglang Army, everyone has the opportunity to be selected as the heavy jockey."

The soldiers of Fu Yu, who received the affirmative reply, were very happy. Although they were still taciturn, they seemed more motivated to work and their desire to fight became stronger.

When Zang Ba stationed his troops under the Raole River, Zhang Xiu, who was in Changchun City, had already received a report from Zang Ba. He was very impressed by Zang Ba's practice of temporarily adjusting his action plan and hijacking his fleet to the upper reaches of the Liao River.

To put it bluntly, the fleet belongs to Jin State. His troops hijacked their own fleet and finally asked Gongsun Kang to pay for it. Zhang Xiu would do such a good thing. More importantly, Zang Ba's idea of ​​relying on water transportation to increase military income for the Canglang Army was not expected, and the realization of this idea was actually not difficult.

It can be foreseen that for a long time in the future, the Canglang Army will need to guard the Northeast region as an important strategic mobile force to ensure that Zhao Xing’s Northeast strategy can be successfully and continuously advanced. Since you want to gain a foothold in the Northeast for a long time, all factors must be taken into account, and military expenditure is a big problem.

According to the idea of ​​establishing a legion in Zhaoxing, the Northeast region will definitely establish a Northeast legion in the next step. I don’t know if it will become a legion under the command of a certain "Northeast King" like the six legions. After all, the "Pingxi King" now has a strong army of 120,000 infantry and cavalry in the Western Regions.

Although Zhao Xing did not make it clear when he was traveling for Zhang Xiu at Yumen Pass, Zhang Xiu knew in his heart that he was likely to be the commander of the Northeast Legion in the future. Therefore, even if he was considering the unformed Northeast Legion, Zhang Xiu had to lay a solid foundation in the Northeast through self-sufficiency.

After brief discussion with military advisor Li Hui, Zhang Xiu decided to personally lead 15,000 people to support Zang Ba, while Li Hui led the remaining 10,000 people to guard Changchun City. Raoleshui is only three days away from Changchun City. Even if Changchun City is attacked unexpectedly, as long as you stay for three days, Zhang Xiu can lead 20,000 troops to get full supply to kill one of the troops.

What's more, military advisor Li Hui is also a powerful character. Who can plot against these barbarians in the Northeast?

After throwing the miscellaneous matters such as treating the wounded and burying the sacrificed soldiers to Li Hui, Zhang Xiu brought the Second Heavy Cavalry Division, the First and Second Divisions of Light Cavalry Division, accompanied by two deputy generals Lu Xiang and Lu Kuang, he escorted the 20,000 troops to use food and grass for one month, and came to the place where Zang Ba and his troops were stationed.

The journey was safe and sound. Four days later, Zhang Xiu led the army to successfully meet with Zang Ba.

Zhang Xiu stood by the river, looking at the nearly 100 "sand loach" ships (the name of transport ships) that broke down in the middle of the river, and asked Zang Ba beside him, saying, "Has Xuan Gao ever thought about how to place this fleet?"

Zang Ba seemed to have already made up his mind and replied: "The reason why I temporarily adjusted the action plan and robbed this large-scale transport fleet upstream is that I want to build a large dock, some warehouses, and defense facilities around it to build this place into a water transportation transit hub connecting Changchun and the Central Plains."

Zhang Xiu was very satisfied with Zang Ba's answer, so he nodded and said, "Since Xuan Gao has a blueprint in his heart, you will be fully responsible for this matter. The most urgent task is to apply to Quanzhou Naval City for several masters to come and guide us in the construction. After all, we are not experts in building a dock and building a port."

Zang Ba said: "To be honest, the commander knew that I had sent Shadow Team members to Xiangping a few days ago to contact the "Nighthawk". Through him, he coordinated with the Navy City and sent us a team of capable and top-notch craftsmen to come."

Zhang Xiu stared at the water surface wrinkled by the autumn wind and said thoughtfully: "This place is unique. If a pier is built, it will slowly become a lively and prosperous place in the future. We should give it a loud and nice name!"

Zang Ba reminded Zhang Xiu: "The best name in King Pingxi in his life. He changed the name of "Sujiangcheng" to "Fengxuecheng". At the beginning of the year, the former capital of the Western Regions Chief Mansion was named "Liweicheng". Why not let him decide such a blessing?"

Zhang Xiu smiled on his face, as if he was also interested in his third junior brother's hobby, so he said, "If Xuan Gao did not remind me, I would have forgotten this. Guochang had already named cities in the Western Regions and northern Shanxi respectively, and now this Northeast is missing. This time I happened to give him a surprise!"

Zang Ba’s reminder was implicit and tactful, but Zhang Xiu could understand it. Although Zhao Xing was named King of Pingxi, the huge world belonged to him. It is naturally best for Zhao Xing to name the newly built land. Doing so can not only show the loyalty of the Canglang Army, but also show Zhao Xing’s prestige.
