"My lord, will this work?"
Even Jia Xu, who trusted Lin Yi the most, couldn't help but widen his eyes, looking at his lord with a bewildered expression. This was practically creating something out of nothing, doing something on a cliff face!
This project is so difficult that only a god could accomplish it.
Lin Yi chuckled and said in a deep voice, "Although you've lost some of your memories, have you forgotten even the Great Wall of Ten Thousand Li? That was the outpost against the Xiongnu. I can't build the Great Wall of Ten Thousand Li, but I can certainly build this section."
That's right, it's the Great Wall!
Lin Yi had personally climbed the Great Wall of Ten Thousand Li before. Although most of the section was relatively safe, there were some sections that were built on steep cliffs.
Qin Shi Huang could build the Great Wall of Ten Thousand Li, so he could certainly build a section of the Great Yu Mountain Great Wall.
" Great Wall!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up. If that's the case, then it's worth a try.
There's no reason why the Qin people could do it, but their own elites couldn't.
After tapping his fingers on the table and pondering for a long time, Jia Xu suddenly stood up, slammed his hand on the table, and said, "My lord is right. There is no reason why Qin Shi Huang could do it, but we cannot."
Qin Shi Huang conscripted hundreds of thousands of laborers; we can use an army of 100,000 to build it. This will not only train the soldiers' physique but also acclimate them and their warhorses to mountain warfare.
In addition, we can build a military fortress on Great Yu Mountain. In the event of war, this will greatly reduce the marching distance, and any attack will be swift and decisive, catching the enemy completely off guard.
In that case, it's hard to say who will own Great Yu Mountain!
With this section of the Great Wall, troops could be transported to the mountains in advance to build a military fortress. This would not only train the soldiers' physique but also reduce the combat radius of the cavalry.
Our lord is indeed resourceful; he actually came up with this method.
Although it may cost a lot, it is absolutely worthwhile!
Mountain warfare training!
Strengthen the soldiers' physique!
Military fortress!
These words ignited Ma Chao's passion.
"My lord, let's build our Great Yu Mountain Great Wall!" Ma Chao was overjoyed. This would truly give them a chance for a blitzkrieg.
Zhang Liao nodded and said in a deep voice, "Then bring the Qin Straight Road on too! Our cavalry will be as swift as the wind, invincible in their path!"
puff!
Chen Qun felt a chill run down his spine. Launching so many projects at once—how much money would that cost? It would probably bankrupt the entire Xiliang Commandery.
He looked at his lord; this was a matter that required careful consideration!
"We have to do it!"
Lin Yi glanced at him and said in a deep voice, "Even if it's not very useful now, it will be very important in the long-term plan. I want to show Tuoba Yu what it means to go against the will of Heaven."
This road is finished!
As for the location!
He suddenly pointed to one side of the map, towards the location of Northern Liang. Then, with a flourish of his brush, he drew a route directly on the map, and a road appeared on the map.
" Heavenly Pillar Peak?"
Jia Xu's eyes lit up. "So this is it? Perhaps it really can work!"
The so-called Heavenly Pillar Peak is actually the place where Ma Chao was assassinated. The intelligence at the time said that the attackers were all barbarians who had come around from Heavenly Pillar Peak.
Since the enemy can come around, we can naturally go around them; it's a natural path.
However, this detour doesn't take you to the main peak of Great Yu Mountain, but instead leads directly to the South Mountain Plain behind Tuoba Yu, entering the heart of the barbarian territory—that's terrifying.
Once this road is completed, it will likely become a major threat to the Northern Region Barbarians.
He said excitedly, "My lord is right. This road must be built. With this road, we can not only avoid Li Anlan's sight, but also avoid Tuoba Yu's spies. Moreover, once it is completed, we can directly threaten the South Mountain Plain of the barbarians and get around to Tuoba Yu's rear..."
He didn't say anything more, but no one in the room was a fool.
By getting behind their backs, it means that we can strike the Northern Region Barbarians homeland at any time, not only eliminating Tuoba Yu's advantages but also gaining the greatest initiative.
There was even a chance for a sneak attack. If the flanking attack succeeded, the 100,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry would rush into the rear, and Tuoba Yu would probably be surrounded before he could even react.
"Direct access to South Mountain Plain!"
"It absolutely needs to be fixed!"
"Rest assured, my lord, our Xiliang Iron Cavalry are not only skilled at killing, but also adept at road construction."
puff!
Wang Yue was both amused and exasperated. Looking at the group of people who were pumped up like steroids, he chuckled dryly and said, "My lord, the terrain here is extremely complex. Building a road here would be an unprecedented challenge."
"It's alright!"
Lin Yi waved his hand, saying that there might be difficulties, but there are always more solutions than problems.
Moreover, he knew of one thing that, if he could obtain it, would make construction much easier.
He said in a deep voice, " Wang Yue, find some experts in this field to inspect the route and design the most suitable one. I will help you solve the other problems."
"Understood!"
Wang Yue took a deep breath and accepted the task. Since it was a task assigned by his lord, he had to do his best.
Since my lord is going against the will of heaven, then I, Wang Yue, will go crazy with my lord this once!
Lin Yi nodded. Now that he had made a decision, he naturally wouldn't change it.
Located in the mountains between the Northern Liang and the barbarian tribes, this place had very little control over the Great Ning Dynasty, and Tuoba Yu couldn't pay much attention to it, making it the perfect location.
Although I am quite strong now, I am not All Under Heaven. I should still keep a low profile.
An army of 100,000 is a considerable force, and it would be easily discovered elsewhere. If the Great Ning Dynasty were to discover it, Li Anlan might become restless and take action against him prematurely, which would be a huge loss.
Furthermore, opening up this area would directly threaten the heartland of the Northern Region Barbarians, a rare and precious opportunity that cannot be missed.
" Changwen, Wenhe!"
He looked at Chen Qun and Jia Xu and instructed them, "You two need to take personal charge of this matter. Changwen, you will coordinate resources, prioritizing their use for Heavenly Pillar Peak, and the remainder for the construction of Xiliang Commandery. Wenhe, you will be responsible for personnel allocation, and together we will complete this task!"
"Rest assured, my lord, Chen Qun / Jia Xu will do their utmost!"
The two men had solemn expressions; they knew in their hearts that this would be the most important step in the rise of Xiliang.
If the previous sweep of Xiliang was the foundation of our strength, then this is the expansion of our territory, and we cannot afford any mistakes.
"My lord, what about me?"
Zhang Liao couldn't sit still any longer. Everyone else seemed to have tasks, while he was left with nothing to do.
Seeing his impatient look, Lin Yi couldn't help but smile and said in a deep voice, " Wenyuan, don't be anxious. I have left you with a very important task, and no one else can do it!"
