Chapter 31: Strong Walls and Clear Fields

Jiaozhou Prefecture's Longbian, the prefecture's government, and the white-haired governor Li Fozi was making arrangements for various matters to everyone in front of him. Of course, he was as the king of Wanchun Kingdom, setting up national defense to the civil and military officials of Wanchun Kingdom.

"Julu, Nanding, all the grain stored in Quyi was transported to Longbian, and the residents of the city also moved them over. Then, except for Quyi, the other cities were burned in fire!"

"Along with all the rice fields outside the city, the wells are thrown into dead pigs and dead people, and then block the wellheads. Remember that every well must be blocked!"

"The civilians gathered in the Dragon Weaving and organized them to strengthen the city defense. If they don't work, they will have no food!"

"Check the population from door to door, arrest those who have suspicious identities first, and dare to resist and kill them!"

"Prepare as much firewood as possible, keep it properly, and clear the drainage ditches in the city..."

Li Fozi is over 70 years old, but he speaks with a strong sense of vigor and is not as depressed as he was a few days ago.

At that time, he was lying on the couch pretending to be sick and met the envoy sent by Commander Zhou Jun. He looked like he was about to die at any time, so he almost believed him.

A general asked carefully: "King, there are many rivers in the country. Even if the well is blocked, the Zhou army can still get water by the river..."

"Yes, they can get water by camping by the river, and they can also go upstream from the sea to the Longbian, and travel until the outside of the Longbian City, haha..." Li Fozi smiled, "So, immediately organize manpower to build ships by the river outside the city, pile up flammable things to make fire boats, and then set fire to burn Zhou Jun to the point of urination!"

"If they come to Longbian by land, they have to pass through Dulongling, so our army will be on guard!"

"If the opponent is in a big way and really wants to attack Longbian City, then we will burn the granary with fire and turn to the southwest mountainous area to see how long they can stay with Longbian, which has no food!"

Li Fozi was not panicked at all about the upcoming Zhou army. After fighting for so many years, the Liang army, Chen army, and the current Zhou army, the more people come, the easier it is to deal with it.

Back then, he followed Li Ben's uprising and went through decades of ups and downs, and finally became the king of Wanchun Kingdom. Li Fozi would never give up this hard-earned power and status.

Wanchun Kingdom consumed the Liang army and Chen army. Next, the Zhou army would inevitably consume energy and leave people in shame. This land always belongs to Wanchun Kingdom!

To this day, there have been three kings in the Wanchun Kingdom. Li Ben, who founded the country, was called "Nan Emperor". After Li Ben died of illness, his younger brother Li Tianbao was the "King of Taolang", and then Zhao Guangfu took power, and was the "King of Luminous Light".

At that time, Zhao Guangfu was in great power, and Li Fozi fought with him for a long time. He was at a disadvantage and thought of a solution. He first took the initiative to seek peace, and then asked his son to marry into the Zhao family as a host.

But it's actually an insider.

After planning for many years, he finally defeated Zhao Guangfu under the internal and external cooperation and became the fourth king of Wanchun Kingdom. Then he walked step by step to this day. He finally won the Dragon Box again and became the governor of Jiaozhou in Chen Kingdom.

He felt that he could definitely allow Wanchun Country to expand its territory and allow the country to last forever. Because "Wanchun" means "Spring and Autumn", Chen State had no choice but to do anything to him. He only needed to operate for more than ten years, and the foundation of Wanchun Country was solid enough.

As a result, the situation suddenly changed, and Lingbiao changed a new government office.

The Zhou, the enemy of Chen, sent troops to attack Lingbiao, and replaced it in a few months. The opponent's commander also asked him to go to Songshou, Anzhou, which made Li Fozi feel like he was facing a great enemy.

Although he was the governor of Jiaozhou in Chen State, he was actually the king of Wanchun State. The inside story may be that the commander of Zhou Army knew, so if he went to Song Shou, he would fall into the trap.

Since Li Fozi could not go, the other party might send troops to invade. So when the envoy left Longbian, he began to arrange defense in a intensive manner, first of all, to strengthen the walls and clear the fields.

Whether it is the Liang army, Chen army or Zhou army, it can be said that it is a labor force to mobilize troops to Jiaozhou from thousands of miles away, and the military needs are extremely consumed. When Liang State was operating in Jiaozhou for a long time, the army could still eat in Jiaozhou, but now, Li Fozi wants to make the soon-to-be Zhou army complain.

Jiaozhou has under its jurisdiction, Jiaozhi County, Songping County and Wuping County. Among them, there are many cities in Jiaozhi County. In addition to Longbian, there are nine cities including Julu, Wuning, Wanghai, etc. Li Fozi has sent people to these cities and brought all the people and grain back to Longbian.

At that time, the Zhou army, who came to Jiaozhou in a fierce manner, would not harvest a grain of food locally, and there would not be many people to drive it. All the food and grass needed would be transported from Guangzhou. The more troops the other party came, the more food and grass they consumed, and the shorter the time they could stay in Jiaozhou.

The more this happens, the more anxious the opponent's coach will be, and the easier it is to get into a trap. He only needs to carefully plan and set up a trap, waiting for the main force of the Zhou army to fall into the trap and defeat the enemy in one battle.

At that time, Zhao Guangfu fought against Liang general Yang Chan, using a strategy of showing weakness and luring the enemy. When he was in trouble, he attacked with all his might, killing the Liang army corpses everywhere, thus obtaining countless armor, weapons, and baggage. It was through these captures that he had the capital to fight for power and become the "King of Luminous Light".

Li Fozi believed that only by defeating the invading Zhou army this time, he could ensure that no one would attack Wanchun Kingdom within a few years. If the Zhou army's armor, weapons, and supplies could be seized in large quantities, he could even strengthen the strength of his own army.

At that time, I will take down Aizhou and Dezhou on the south side of Jiaozhou, confront Linyi Kingdom on the southern foot of Hengshan Mountain across the mountain, and carefully manage it for more than ten years. By then, the wings of Wanchun Kingdom will be full.

Thinking of this, Li Fozi became more and more excited, and the detailed work that had just crossed the ocean from Anzhou brought the latest news: the "Sunset King" of Zhou, who was in Song Shou, decided to lead his troops on the sea to attack Jiaozhou.

The Ning clan of Anzhou sent troops to assist and prepared a large number of sea boats for him to transport troops across the sea and advance westward. It is said that the "Sunset King" also summoned Li Liao's troops to assist in the war through Ning Mengwei, with a total of more than 20,000 troops.

The distance between Anzhou and Jiaozhou is very short, and it is only more than 300 miles apart. If the wind is good, the sea boats can reach the southeastern coastal port of Jiaozhou in one day and night. If the Zhou army really wants to attack, I am afraid that Wanchunguo will not have much time to prepare.

However, after hearing the news, Li Fozi was not worried but happy. Everyone was confused when they saw this, so he told the reason.

"If the king of Zhou sent elite soldiers, I would be careful, because a small number of elite soldiers could immediately take a boat to our country. If these soldiers came from Fanyu, they would most likely arrive at our coast in four or five days..."

"But now this person has summoned a large number of troops to pluck up courage. If he wants to come here, he has to spend a lot of time raising food and grass, gathering troops, and preparing a large number of sea ships. This will not be done for a month or two, and he will have to wait for hyacinth at that time. Haha, if the storm on the sea is too strong, he may not be able to cross the sea for several months!"

Speaking of this, Li Fozi couldn't help but despise the commander of the Zhou army, the Xiyang Wang Yuwen Wen, who was about the same age as his grandson.
