Wang Jian simply smiled and nodded, then said nothing more.

Meanwhile, Zhang Han, far away in Shangjun, led Li Si and a group of newcomers to continuously reclaim wasteland, establish villages, and settle displaced people.

The most challenging task of windbreak and sand fixation is also proceeding smoothly under the leadership of Guo Yun and others.

I believe that before long, the experience gained in Shangjun can be extended to the deserts surrounding Shuofang, preventing soil erosion in those areas and allowing the entire Bingzhou to have more land available for production.

So, where is our beloved protagonist right now?

"Young master, the investigation is complete. The current garrison at Tanhan Mountain numbers less than 60,000."

Judging from the endless rows of tents, they have at least a million people stockpiled on Tanhan Mountain!

Zhang Hao was the one who reported the military intelligence. Such intelligence must have been obtained by Wang Meng personally leading him to investigate.

However, Wang Meng already had enough credit, so he simply had Zhang Hao report to Zhao Hao.

Zhao Hao simply nodded. During this time, he led his most formidable 100,000 elite troops around Youzhou, passing through Dai County and exiting through Juyong Pass.

The purpose was to completely raid the ancestral homeland of the Xianbei people!

"Not bad, Jinglue."

"Your subordinate is here."

"How did it go about sending you to negotiate with Liu Yu?"

"Reporting to the young master, although Liu Youzhou is a benevolent man, he does not wish for us to engage in much bloodshed."

However, if you intend to do as you previously stated, slaughter all men taller than a cartwheel in the northern desert and enslave their women and children, Liu Youzhou will support us.

As long as our army attacks the Xianbei in Liaoxi and Liaodong, Liu Youzhou will order General Gongsun Zan of Baima to assist us, and the various tribes of Youzhou will also do their best to provide our army with food and supplies.

Zhao Hao waved his hand. He was about to venture deep into the desert. Youzhou was already barren, so how much supplies could it provide him?

Fortunately, Zhao Hao didn't care this time, nor was he after the grain supplies from Youzhou. He was determined to conquer the world sooner or later, so naturally, he needed to eliminate the hidden threat from the north first!

"Hehe, go tell Liu Yu that when Youzhou has a million more mouths to feed, don't blame me, Zhao Hao, for not helping him."

"promise!"

After speaking, Zhao Hao looked at the elderly man beside him, who had white hair but was still very energetic.

"Senior Bai, I wonder if these thirty million Hu people of the northern deserts could serve as an appetizer for your return to the world?"
