Chapter 2481 Expectations are like God

The defense of the Shu army in Wei County was quite complete. Although there was no large-scale war in Nanzhong, in the attitude of preventing problems before they happened, the successive surrenders spared no effort in the construction of Wei County.

After decades of accumulation, Wei County's urban defense still has a profound foundation. With arrows alone, hundreds of thousands of defensive weapons, such as rolling wood, rock, gold juice, boiling water, which cost almost no cost, are countless.

The only regrettable thing is that the troops in the South Central are not equipped with Yuanrong crossbows. Although the Yuanrong crossbows can be regarded as the most exquisite weapon, due to their expensive construction, complex technology, and relatively small output, they can only give priority to the army of the Northern Expedition. The troops in the South Central Central have few combat tasks, so they are basically not equipped with serial crossbows.

Without such extremely lethal weapons, Wei County's city defense power is slightly weak, but this will not affect Huo Yi's confidence. Don't be Huo Yi and Yi soldiers as support. Even if there is no search for troops, there will be no problem in holding on for a long time.

Wei County has been constantly repairing and strengthening over the years. The successive surrendered governors have regarded the construction of Wei County as the first city in Nanzhong as their mission. For this goal, they have been working hard and spared no effort. Although the surrendered governors have changed one by one in the revolving lanterns over the past few decades, Wei County's position as the center of Nanzhong has not changed at all and has been quite stable.

Especially when Ma Zhong served as the governor of surrender, the expansion of Wei County reached an unprecedented level. The outer city of Wei County was built during Ma Zhong's tenure. The city structure of the inside and outside cities is really not something that ordinary cities can have. This invisibly provides a guarantee for Wei County's city, that is, even if the outer city is captured by the enemy, the defenders can still retreat to the inner city and carry out their final resistance.

Therefore, the original walls of the inner city were not abandoned due to the expansion of the outer city, but were reinforced and improved on the original basis, making Wei County town two defensive lines. This double-insurance design undoubtedly gave the Shu army full of confidence when guarding Wei County.

Since Yan Yu was transferred to the position of governor of Yong'an, Huo Yi has been promoted to the prefect of Jianning and general of Annan, in charge of the political affairs of the Nanzhong Army. Huo Yi has never taken Wei County's defense lightly. He used all resources to strengthen the city defense of Wei County, reserved grain and grass and armour, and prepared for a big battle.

In the eyes of many people, Huo Yi's move seems to be meaningless. Among the seven counties in the south, Jianning County is far beyond other counties in terms of population, economy and military strength. Even if the barbarians cause chaos, they will at most make trouble in other counties and will not attack Wei County.

Therefore, if Huo Yi wants to deal with the Yi people, he should invest more in the army. After all, once a rebellion occurs, Jianning's army will basically be transferred out to suppress the rebellion, rather than guarding Wei County and waiting for the rebels to attack.

As a strong city, Wei County has been fully improved after decades of construction. Huo Yi still has to make a big fuss about Wei County's urban defense, which seems a bit overwhelming.

Faced with such doubts, Huo Yi was of course laughing and ignored them at all. Huo Yi must be careful in the training of the army. After all, the imperial court has given him more than 10,000 troops. No matter how brave Huo Yi is, he will not dare to expand his troops easily. Otherwise, if someone with ulterior motives will give him a copy, he will be in trouble.

On the basis of training the existing army, Huo Yi also did not relax in the construction of urban defense in Wei County. Both the army and the city defense must be grasped, and both hands must be strong.

Now that the Wei army has reached the city of Wei County, many people suddenly realized that Huo Yi had the ability to predict the future. Knowing that the Wei army would come, they put in such a great effort to build the city defense of Wei County. They all praised Huo Yi's far-reaching advice and that the predictions were as good as God, and even more magical than Prime Minister Zhuge!

After hearing everyone's praise, Huo Yi just smiled slightly and did not explain.

In fact, only Huo Yi himself knew that he had no ability to predict things like a god, but Huo Yi was just doing his part.

Although Huo Yi has been working in Nanzhong all year round, it does not mean that he does not know that before the world, the Shu Kingdom will regularly issue residences to prefects in various places.

The dibao first appeared in the Han Dynasty. At that time, the Western Han Dynasty implemented the county system, and the country was divided into several counties, and the county was divided into several counties. Each county had offices in Chang'an, the capital. This residence was called "di", and it was sent to have permanent representatives. Their task was to do liaison between the emperor and the heads of each county, and regularly wrote the emperor's edicts, edicts, memorials of ministers, as well as political information such as palace affairs, on bamboo slips or silk, and then the messenger rode a fast horse and sent it to the chiefs of each county through the post road established by the Qin Dynasty.

The Shu Kingdom's official newspaper system basically follows the Han Dynasty, which is also an important way for Huo Yi, who is in a remote place, to understand the situation in the world. Moreover, Huo Yi and the merchants who traveled to Shu and Central Plains had good relationships with the merchants who did business in Shu and Central Plains. They often invited these merchants to travel to the prefect's mansion to sit and ask them about the customs, current affairs, news, and interesting stories in Shu and various parts of the Central Plains.

Therefore, although Huo Yi is in Nanzhong, he will not be blocked from the outside world. Moreover, the news reached Huo Yi's ears. Huo Yi did not forget it by listening to it, but instead wrote down the bamboo slips and summarized and analyzed it.

When Cao Liang rose to the Central Plains and defeated the Sima family and became the new emperor of the Wei Kingdom, it was just a matter of relish after dinner, but in Huo Yi's opinion, he was worried.

Since the Three Kingdoms’ Triumph, the three countries have been in a state of balance. Although the three countries have been constantly quarrels and attacking each other, in general, the territory of each country is basically fixed and there is no major change.

But Cao Liang's rise seemed unusual. After all, since Sima Yi seized power, the government of Wei State had basically fallen into the hands of the Sima family. He monopolized the power and dominated the world. Cao Liang could eventually turn the tables in Bingzhou and kill the powerful Sima family. This kind of strength was not ordinary strength.

If Cao Liang had been fighting for power with the Sima family before and had no time to deal with the Wu Kingdom of Shu, then after he destroyed the Sima family, the attack would be aimed at the Wu Kingdom and Shu Kingdom.

Born in distress and died in peace. When Wu and Shu were still watching the walls, they didn't realize that the storm in the world was already unpredictable.
