Just as Yuan Shu and Liu Zhang were discussing how to reasonably defraud the money from Liu Zhang's uncle, the personnel sent by Liu Bei finally arrived in Yinping County.

"What, Liu Xuande is here to find us?" Yuan Shu had a strange expression on his face. No, they hadn't started to implement the plan yet, why did Liu Xuande run over? Hey, it's not right. They never thought of cheating Liu Bei's money.

Liu Bei said he was rich, but he was rich. If he was poor, he was really poor. Every year, the money given to his eldest wife and his younger wife, and the dividends Chen Xi gave him. In terms of the amount, there was no problem in killing Liu Yu.

The problem is that Liu Bei issued a certificate of discharge every year, and when he saw those disabled soldiers and veterans in trouble, he would pay out of his own pocket and give them some subsidies. Sometimes he would even meet them to comfort them to survive with strength.

It sounds like there is not much money, but I can't stand it many times. If I do this every year, it's thanks to my wife who can really make money. Otherwise, the family would have collapsed long ago.

The middle-level bureaucrats who were in the lower ranks were not very clear about this, but guys like Yuan Shu and Liu Zhang knew it in their hearts. They agreed that Liu Bei was indeed kind because there was no use of any details.

"Why did the clan brother come to find us? Have we done something strange recently?" Liu Zhang also had a worried expression on his face. He didn't remember what he did!

"No, since the second half of last year, we have been working hard for national construction, and even the gambling industry has stopped. Do you still remember when we were last time we went to the imperial prison?" Yuan Shu also looked strange, then turned his head to look at Liu Zhang and asked.

"Yes, it was a long time ago when I was admitted to the imperial prison last time. I haven't been fooled recently. It seems that my clan brother has any ideas. Forget it, let's go to Chengdu first and ask. Anyway, there is no mess this year, so don't worry." Liu Zhang patted his chest and said with a confident look on his face.

At this time, the two of them had basically finished their inspection in Yinping County. They were originally planning to go to Zitong County to have another look, but now that Liu Bei is here, we can go to see Liu Bei first, so we rode on our beloved Gungu and headed straight for Chengdu. To be honest, Sichuan and Shu are indeed suitable for Gungu.

After all, Genggu itself has the characteristics of climbing uphill and climbing downhill, which is fun!

In Chengdu, Liu Bei had already met Chen Deng, the new governor of Yizhou, and Sun Qian, who was also in Chengdu recently. These three were old acquaintances and could not be seen a few times a year. So after seeing them, they found a place to eat and drink. In this place in China, eating and drinking can often be called a ritual!

"Yuanlong, how do you feel when you come to Yizhou?" After drinking a few glasses of wine, Liu Bei asked Chen Deng with a smile. If Chen Deng was not too concerned about his family and too much of his family's development, with Chen Deng's ability and Liu Bei's relationship, there would be no problem in entering Chang'an. Unfortunately, he did not keep up with the trend of the times. His last step was wrong, and he was wrong step by step.

"There are huge differences from Xuzhou in many aspects, including customs, climate and environment, views on many things, etc.," Chen Deng said with a little emotion, "Relatively speaking, the Shuzhong area, that is, the Chengdu Plain, is better than Xuzhou, Xuzhou Taiping, and the place of four battles, from a strategic perspective or a life perspective."

"Yuan Long, your perspective on the problem is still the same as in the war era." Sun Gan said with some fatigue, "Actually, as for the current situation, I'm afraid that even if the war starts in the future, some heroes will win the overall victory in a very short time."

"Yes, the transportation network between the north and the south is too convenient. While the speed of freight has been greatly improved, it actually means that the efficiency of legion transport is improving. The significance of road logistics transportation network is more obvious in the war years." Liu Bei nodded and said.

"After these transportation networks were built, many places were already very different from the once isolated island form." Sun Gan dipped his fingers with a little wine and drew a road grid on the table. After all, he built most of the main roads in the Central Plains by himself, so Sun Gan knew what layout and what kind of places it involved.

"Hey, I was still poor back then. If I was not poor back then, these places would not be like this when I was built." Sun Gan pointed to the Yanzhou area where the transportation network was very dense. Judging from Sun Gan's eyes now, the layout of these roads has some problems. You should know that these are the main roads, and there are some layout problems from the national level. It really has a great impact.

"I can't see it." Chen Deng shook his head. He specialized in his profession. Sun had not been in vain for more than ten years. He did one thing and did the best possible thing. Now, even Chen Xi is difficult to surpass Sun Gan in this matter.

"It was probably because we did not take over the entire Central Plains back then and considered the road planning and layout with the mindset of one state and one county." Liu Bei said with a little speculation, although Liu Bei didn't understand this, but Liu Bei saw a lot.

"I remember the same thing when Chen Hou cut off the large industries in the east last time when Chen Hou cut off the eastern part of the country." Xu Chu, who had been sitting aside as a wooden man, said with some thoughts when he heard Liu Bei's words.

"Yes, on the one hand, we did not take over the entire Central Plains at that time, and on the other hand, many of our planning and design levels did not reach the current level. In the early years, there was no such easy-to-use spiritual talent as Zhao Junqing had." Sun Gan said with emotion. When Zhao Shuang was not there, Sun Gan was building roads, but after using Zhao Shuang's computer, he really couldn't live without this thing.

"Then do you mean to rebuild?" Liu Bei looked at Sun Gan tentatively, and Chen Deng, who was holding the wine bottle, shook his hands. Liu Xuande, listen to what you are talking about!

"No, I just feel that the technology was limited and some historical problems were left behind. Rebuilding was impossible. Unlike Zichuan's situation when he cut some industries at that time, if I was moving to the construction of roads in the east, I am afraid that countless bureaucrats would fight me to the death." Sun Gan shook his head and said.

Chen Xi's cutting of those industries will not have any impact on the local people's livelihood. Even if someone changes to take over, there will be no big changes. However, if Sun Gan demolishes the main roads in the eastern region and rebuilds them, the current bureaucrats in the eastern prefectures and counties will really be fighting with Sun Gan.

When the road was being built, the bureaucrats would pick up Sun Gan and how they would kill Sun Gan now. This is not a joke. After all, what did that road bring? What would you lose if you lose that road? In addition, some firm-minded bureaucrats directly moved the city to the main road and re-planned and developed it again. Now it is finally prosperous, Sun Gan moved the local main road?

That's what the lives of these bureaucrats are!

One or two Sun Gan doesn't care about this level, and ten or eight are nothing, but Chen Xi will not make up the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands and millions of people, but if he only discusses it from a purely national standpoint, there are indeed some planning problems in the early paths.

But it is a historical problem so it can only continue like this.

After listening to Sun Gan's explanation, Liu Bei realized that he had asked a stupid question. As expected, he had never thought about such a problem before. Although he had seen many such situations in eastern prefectures and counties, he had never thought about why it was like this.

"Sure enough, it's not easy for all walks of life." Liu Bei said with a sigh, then looked at Chen Deng and Sun Gan, "Actually, I've walked far away this time, left Chang'an and walked westward, and followed the road to Hanzhong. Then I thought I had arrived in Hanzhong, so I came here to take a look, and then came over. Speaking of which, this is my first time in Chengdu."

It was because of Xu Chu that Liu Bei had a sudden idea of ​​going from Chang'an to Hanzhong, from Hanzhong to Chengdu, and from Hanzhong to Chengdu. I have learned a lot of new things along the way.

"It's similar to what I guess." Sun Gan said with a smile, touching his beard, "Then how do you feel along the way?"

"I took a walk and felt it for a while. I can only say that the path you have built is really rewarded in the present and for the future." Liu Bei praised with emotion.

Although Liu Bei knew that the work that Sun Gan had been dealing with was very important to this country, it was completely different to walk on the roads in the eastern plains and on the roads in the Sichuan and Sichuan region. At least in the eastern plains, Liu Bei could still walk on those dirt roads. Without Sun Gan's roads, there would be no roads to walk on, and it would not be too difficult. At most, transportation is difficult, but the individual feeling of such things will not be too deep.

But the Sichuan and Shu are different. Liu Bei specially walked the ancient Sichuan and Shu road in the past. How to say it, it is not a place that people can walk on. It is simply too difficult to walk on. The plank road is really deadly.

According to Liu Bei's estimate, just the plank road, let alone sending something, it would probably take one or two years to go out from the mountainous area. With Sun Gan's construction of Chang'an to Hanzhong and Hanzhong to Chengdu, the roads from Chang'an to Hanzhong are really fast, and you don't care about the loss of the horses, you can reach them in a few days.

When the neighbor Dai sent Ma Xinde to Chang'an, it was not to mention how troublesome it was for the neighbor Dai to come down from Zangzhou. After entering Hanzhong, it actually took only one day to arrive in Chang'an.

This is also why the Faqiang and Qingqiang of Tibetan areas strongly demand that every successor governor build roads in Tibetan areas. It would be fine if they didn’t feel it. After feeling it, they would really not be able to overcome this hurdle without building two roads. What are the efficiency of others and what are their efficiency.

For Faqiang and Qingqiang, the distance between the place they live from Hanzhong is not much further than that between Hanzhong and Chang'an. This is also the reason why Fu Ward first came up with a plan for a great earthquake in the world. To put it bluntly, the two sides are really close. If there is a Hancheng Expressway thing, Fu Ward can lead the army directly to the bottom of Chang'an City in two or three days.

Two or three days, what does this mean? It means that there is no need to store grain and grass at all. Each soldier can rush over with some dry food.

Not to mention conquering Chang'an City, a thousand people will have an armed parade under Chang'an City, which will be enough to lose half of the face of the Han Dynasty.

However, there is no way. Every time Qingqiang and Faqiang come out of Tibetan areas to Hanzhong, it takes more than ten days, and it takes dozens of days to wait. Comparing the same distance, the time spent from Hanzhong to Chang'an, Qingqiang and Faqiang can't bear it even if they don't have much brains.

It is precisely because of this comparative understanding that Liu Bei clearly felt what kind of work Sun Gan had done over the years and how much impact it had on the country.

"Jing Gongyou, a jar." Liu Bei said with a smile. Sun Gan was not polite. Sometimes he felt that the work he did was too big, but when he recalled it before going to bed at night, he felt outrageous, but when he was really asleep, he was still satisfied with his own achievements.

"It's not easy to do." Sun Gan said with a little emotion. "But the most difficult thing has been done, and the rest will probably be completed in two to three years."

"Do you go from Chengdu to Ganges?" Liu Bei asked with a look of surprise.

"Yes, I have basically repaired the mountainous area. The rest is to connect to various sections of roads. This will take a year this year. After passing this section of forest, you will enter the Central and Southern regions. Then you can just go west all the way, and there are no mountains anymore." Sun said with a smile.

Although the war on the front line stopped, the support from the rear did not stop. Sun Gan was still working hard to build his own road. The detailed geological investigation and road planning of the Indochina Peninsula have also begun to be arranged. It can be said that the real fatal killing move of the Han Dynasty to the Kushan has only begun to be launched.

Compared with the fact that less than 200,000 troops were fighting in Kushan due to various logistics and management problems, Chen Xi's plan was to build the southwest channel and mobilize the whole country's strength to let Liu Bei personally issue a general mobilization of war, mobilize two million troops, and solve the Kushan in one breath.

The First Emperor destroyed Chu and wanted to truly destroy Chu State, it would take 600,000 yuan. The Han Dynasty destroyed Kushan and bleeded for so long. It would probably take 2 million yuan to really kill Kushan. However, the Han Dynasty had not mobilized the general mobilization before and maintained a normal size of troops.

But as Chen Xi estimated, more than ten years of war were fought and it was constantly rotated. Now the Han family has more than 2 million yuan in a stable system. From the top to the leader, the legion with all the sergeants can really be pulled out.

With Kushan slowly grinding, Chen Xi could not guarantee that it would last until it was. Just like Severus destroyed Anxi. Rome had worked hard to bleed for hundreds of years, Anxi was about to die. But if Severus had not taken out Rome's old capital and killed directly to Tessifon, just like the situation of Vollogis V, touched it again, Anxi would have come back to life.

Therefore, a war of attrition is not desirable. With a large enough foundation, Kushan will inevitably give birth to so-called heroes and heroes in consumption, and batches of elites will inevitably give birth to. This is an inevitable reality, and the so-called extreme sublimation is the case.

The number of heroes can appear when the country of sabreeding will appear as many heroes as the Kushans. After all, when every dynasty is over, in addition to a large number of shameful treacherous ministers, countless people of kindness will use their lives to fulfill their oaths.

What's more, the Kushan Empire was in the official history, and it was the last period of the empire's rise. It was not yet at the level of domestic corruption, civil servants and military generals fighting, and they were basically united.

So when Chen Xi started to make plans, he was not prepared to rely on the Ganges main force with the 200,000 yuan Ganges main force. To be honest, the Ganges main force with the 200,000 yuan Ganges main force is just a target on the table for Chen Xi.

From the beginning, from the first time Chen Xi mentioned the Ganges River, and from the time Chen Xi made up his mind to destroy Kushan, all plans did not revolve around the Ganges Battle, but around the southwest major passage.

"If I remember correctly, Zichuan seemed to have proposed the Southwest Pass before the Yuanfeng Year." Liu Bei asked with some recollections.

"Yes, Zichuan decided to repair this a long time ago, but the appearance of Kushan made him accelerate this idea and attack Kushan in the future. Zichuan's focus has always been on how to repair the southwest passage." Sun Qian nodded and said.

"I remember Zichuan said that if the Southwest Passage is repaired, it seems that it will take only about three months to transport the army directly to the Ganges?" Liu Bei asked with a little thoughtful look.

"Yes, this is indeed the case when the grain and grass logistics is ready." Sun Qian nodded and said, "And Chang'an, which originated, gathers a large amount of food and grass in the Central Plains. After all, it is the capital, and the problem of food and grass has not been a problem from the beginning."

Liu Bei frowned. Although Chen Xi had told him before about how to kill Kushan quickly, compared with the previous oral description, Liu Bei clearly realized Chen Xi's plan at this moment.

"Gongyou, how many veterans are there under your command?" Liu Bei looked at Sun Qian and asked.

"Just calculate the corps on Sichuan and Shu, or do everything calculate?" Sun Qian asked with a frown.

"Everything is calculated." Liu Bei looked at Sun Qian, while Chen Deng, who was standing beside him, vaguely felt the difference in the realm of the three of them, and Xu Chu buried his head and gnawed his elbow.

"Free soldiers from 420,000 to 440,000." Sun Qian thought about it and gave the answer. He would continue to count the veterans, so the number was guaranteed.

The veterans who retired from the Ganges River have basically been resettled in the Han Dynasty, and the best place to resettle is actually Sun Qian’s construction engineering team.

Because there are all over the world, a veteran from Xuzhou is willing to spend time in other prefectures and counties, or is willing to spend time in his own prefectures and counties’ construction team. After all, some simple skill training does not take much time for veterans. As for hard work, they are not very particular about these days.
