    "What exactly is Hu Xueting going to do?" Several people on the high platform stared at Hu Xueting, waiting for her explanation.

    Li Zixiong's eyes were a little complicated.  As one of the core staff of Situ's Mansion, he almost watched Hu Xueting step into Situ's Mansion, starting from scratch, doing inexplicable things constantly, and stepping up to the cloud step by step.  Although Yang Shu never made it clear, but Li Zixiong and others have guessed something, this Hu Xueting is probably not an ordinary person.

    Li Zixiong agreed with Hu Xueting's mud-high-wall-turtle tactics, but he didn't think it was a big deal.  Building high walls and increasing the damage to the besiegers is something everyone knows, so what can we praise.

    What?  The way everyone knows?  Then why has no one used this method for hundreds of years?  The way of defense with high mud walls is simply Hu Xueting's nonsense and cannot stand the test of history.

    Li Zixiong can only sigh for this view, war and historical truth, how can it be so simple.

    In prosperous times, there are prosperous cities without walls everywhere, which are convenient for merchants to come and go; in troubled times, tall walls are desperately built, even villages or families in the wilderness have to build walls desperately, such as docks everywhere.  It is a reality at all, and it was not invented by Hu Xueting.

    What?  Is that stone, not dirt?

    The use of soil to build walls or bunkers is less in the northern grasslands to deal with nomads, but in the southwest and northeast, there are countless, and there are many high walls of various soils.  Just talking about the Turkic tents in the grasslands, aren't they all high walls of mud?

    The reason why the high mud wall did not prevail in the past hundreds of thousands of years is only because it was eliminated by the high stone wall.  The high mud wall, which is easy to build, but also easy to overthrow, is just the original version of the strong masonry wall.  Hu Xueting built eight high mud walls in Dangtu, but the effect may not be as good as one high masonry wall.  Otherwise, Li Zixiong, Gao Ying, Yu Wenshu, and countless military strategists throughout the ages are not stupid. They don't understand such primitive things as mud and high walls?

    The various cities did not build a large number of mud walls and stone walls, and it was also because no one thought of going to war in the interior.

    When the world was peaceful, apart from the centuries-old cities that had experienced many wars, there were still some historical remnants. It was impossible for newly-built cities to spend a lot of money to build useless and expensive masonry walls.  In addition to preventing business travelers from entering the city and restricting the city's outward expansion, does the city wall have another purpose?

    Therefore, when the world is in chaos, the defense of these small counties without walls is zero, and hundreds of bandits come and wash the county with blood.  What's worse is that although the chaos in the world is slowly accumulated by various evils, everyone can see it, but few people think of building a city wall to prevent the chaos that seems to be controllable.

    "It's not that I didn't think of it, but the city wall is too expensive and it took too long." Li Zixiong sighed slightly, revising his thoughts.  There is only such a small amount of money in the county town. If you buy weapons, you can¡¯t buy stones. If you pay soldiers, you can¡¯t hire migrant workers. Bandits will arrive within three days, and it¡¯s too late to build the city wall.  people have no choice but to give up.

    It doesn't take much time to build a high mud wall, why not build it?

    Yes.  But everyone knows that a high mud wall can't stop the enemy, how many people are willing to spend time and effort to build it?  The common people are miraculous, and most of them are not willing to work hard in front of the high dirt walls that can consume part of the thieves' troops in a limited amount.  They prefer to have a high wall of stone once and for all.

    Without a single cruel official, this high mud wall could not be built during times of war.  On the contrary, villages or families with fewer people and concentrated power will build many high mud walls.

    Why is it that in Mao's world today, walls are being built everywhere?

    It¡¯s just because other dynasties collapsed, the people rioted, the government lost its ruling power, and Dasui was still some time away from the real collapse, but it was split up strangely.  Intimidate the people with the impending war, threaten the people with weapons, and forcibly organize the people to establish various defense measures.

    Li Zixiong sighed slightly. Behind the high mud walls everywhere in the Central Plains, there must be countless cities inside the high mud walls, and tall stone walls were being built desperately.

    The main force of the Twelve Guards is still there, all the famous generals are there, and the stock is sufficient. This is too different from the collapse of other dynasties, which makes the difficulty of unification by force beyond imagination.

    The unification of the Central Plains in this era is not to end the troubled times where blood flowed into rivers, ten rooms and nine empty spaces, a group of bandits ruled most of the world with grinning smiles, people's minds are stable, and people's hearts yearn for a master, but to annex all complete countries in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods.  , the people opposed the invaders and tried their best to resist the aggression

    "Taking down Shandong won't help." Gao Ying shook her head.

    "In the hands of Hu Xueting, is there a way to keep warm in Liaodong?" He Ruobi asked. Hu Xueting's purpose of forcing them to expand to Liaodong is too obvious. Most likely he has a trump card in his hand, which can lure them to move towards Liaodong and stay away from the Central Plains.

    "If there really is, it's not impossible for everyone to exercise restraint and jointly develop the world." He Ruobi could not understand Yang Huan and was not convinced by Yang Huan, but his ambitions were not big, and he never thought about unifying the world or anything.  A small, comfortable country, as a minister of power, has fulfilled all his wishes.

    Gao Ying was silent.  Seeing Zhang Xutuo's continuous expansion to the Turks, one can tell that Hu Xueting's plans are huge. If the ambition is not in the Central Plains, there is still a chance that the Central Plains will be stable for ten years.  For the sake of the people in the world, Gao Ying is willing to cooperate with Yang Xuangan and Hu Xueting. It is not impossible to develop Liaodong. His wish is for the happiness of the people in the world. Without weapons, developing Liaodong is also a kind of happiness.  However, he understood that Hu Xueting and Yang Xuangan would definitely kill him in the end.  It would be unwise to cooperate with the enemy's plan.

    "Yeah, deadly revenge." He Ruobi said seriously, really worried that Gao Ying cooperated with Hu Xueting because she had similar goals with Hu Xueting, and ended up losing her life and implicating herself.

    Emperor Gao of Qi State listened to the two ministers talking about government affairs, but he didn't dare to say a word.  As a puppet emperor, he knew what attitude he should have.  He also knew that Gao Ying and He Ruobi never avoided discussing government affairs with him in order to reassure him, and the two powerful officials had no intention of killing the donkey.

    "The old man wants to protect himself, there is only one way." Gao Ying suddenly smiled.

    A few days later, Gao Ying, He Ruobi, Yu Wenshu, and Yu Juluo formed an alliance in Dongjun to establish "ASEAN". The administration, personnel, finance, military, and diplomacy of the three countries in ASEAN will be coordinated within one year, and the three countries will eventually merge into one.  One.  The first joint armed force operation of ASEAN was aimed at Shandong.

    Hu Xueting stared blankly at the news sent back by the spies, only to feel that the world is really wonderful.

    "Could Gao Ying also wear it?" Hu Xueting slapped the table hard, playing it so beautifully.

    "Only Gao Ying and Hu Mouer are the heroes of the world."

    Xiao Xuelan looked at Hu Xueting who was looking at the sky with admiration, then at Cabbage and Kui Chuixue, blinked, and shouted loudly: "Thunder is coming!" Then imitated the sound of thunder and lightning, and the sound of chopsticks falling to the ground.

    ¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù

    ps: Soil walls are not uncommon, and layers of defense are not uncommon, as is the case with infantry trenches in the early 20th century.
