Chapter 636: A Thousand Clues
Hearing Wang Xinran's words, Wu Zhongyuan nodded slowly, "The expected thing, the Protoss is arrogant and arrogant, and they will definitely not give up if they have planted such a big heel today." ”
Wang Xinran said, "Yes, although this battle shows your courage and determination, but it also exposes your style of doing things and political philosophy, the hawkish style is undoubtedly revealed, everyone knows that you will not grovel, compromise, before the five realms may still despise you, but now they will not treat you as the number one rival, unscrupulous to get rid of you." ”
"That's what I think about. Wu Zhongyuan said, any organization and team has a core person, at this time he is the core figure of the human race, everyone obeys his orders, his decision directly affects the fate of the human race, for the four realms of gods, ghosts and demons, the human race is like an enslaved flock of sheep, they will not drive the sheep to extermination, but will get rid of the leader who does not let them milk the sheep.
"Your martial arts are so high now, it is unlikely that they will attack you openly, but it is easy to dodge with open guns, and it is difficult to prevent hidden arrows, and you have to guard against assassinations that may occur at any time in the future," Wang Xinran said with a straight face, "Security work must also be strengthened, and you must ensure your safety." ”
Wu Zhongyuan nodded slowly, there are pros and cons to everything, - during the period before the disappearance of the five seals, the human race took the initiative and also had a certain advantage, and the disadvantage was that the enemy was dark and clear, and it could be attacked and harassed by unpredictable attacks at any time.
Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan was not in a very good mood, Wang Xinran knew that he was grieving those fallen warriors, so he said with relief, "Once you will succeed, you will always die in battle, you will encounter similar things in the future, if you want to live standing up, you always have to pay a price." ”
"There are some costs I can bear, but there are some costs I can't afford. Wu Zhongyuan said casually.
"What do you mean?" asked Wang Xinran.
Wu Zhongyuan did not answer.
Even Wu Zhongyuan didn't answer, Wang Xinran also guessed what he was thinking, and even guessed why he didn't answer, "They and I also have the possibility of dying in battle, and you have to be mentally prepared in advance, the war is so dangerous, and you have so many women, I'm afraid it will be difficult to accompany you to the end." ”
Wu Zhongyuan frowned and glanced at Wang Xinran, but still did not answer.
Wang Xinran said again, "Since I have said this, I have to remind you that they may not only assassinate you, but also attack a few of us, using us as bait to force you to act irrationally." ”
"What do you mean?" Wu Zhongyuan asked, tilting his head.
"It's literal," said Wang Xinran, "you are too attentive to women, they are not fools, it is impossible not to see this, they will take advantage of it sooner or later." ”
Wu Zhongyuan did not refute Wang Xinran's statement, as Wang Xinran said, he was very attentive to his own women, gave Wang Xinran the invisibility cloak and the silkworm gold armor, gave the Eagle King to Wu Di, and gave the Yang Soul Stone to Jiang Nan, never despise the opponent's mind, when they find that he attaches great importance to his children's private affairs, they may use it, heavy love is a good thing, but sometimes heavy love is also a flaw and weakness.
When the two returned to Youxiong, the wizards and warriors who had returned before the two had already handed over the bodies of the fallen warriors to their families, and there was a mournful sound in the square, and the whole bear was filled with a heavy and oppressive atmosphere, and the ordinary people were not so bloody, and what they hoped most was that there would never be a war, they only knew that they had lost their loved ones, and they did not understand the situation and pressure that the king was facing.
Everyone was waiting for Wu Zhongyuan to come back for a meeting, and their own side suffered heavy losses in this battle, and a large number of people in charge of the city had lost their heads, and they needed to send someone to replace them. In addition, the families of those who died in battle should also be rewarded, and those who had previously fought should be rewarded.
As long as we live, we will inevitably encounter all kinds of difficulties and troubles, and when there are difficulties and troubles, it is useless to be anxious, and the correct way is to sort out the clues and solve them as soon as possible.
At the suggestion of the old blind man, Wu Zhongyuan issued three holy decrees in a row, first, the vacancy in the bear clan was temporarily replaced by a deputy, the vacancy in the Niu clan was selected and appointed by Jiang Tao, the prince of Jiang, and Jiang Zhen, the king of Yong, and the bird clan was selected and replaced by Li Tai, the prince of Li.
On both sides, all the warriors and wizards who participated in this battle were given bronze crowns and cloak and pythons to encourage bravery and show honor.
Three, all the families of fallen wizards and warriors keep their homes, and the support treatment is the same as when the deceased was alive.
Ordinary clansmen would not know how difficult this victory was, they only knew that many people had died on their side, Wu Zhongyuan vetoed the proposal of the Ministry of Rites to hold a celebration, and in the afternoon, he proposed to withdraw from the court, and everyone returned to their own positions.
Wu Zhongyuan was also very tired, so he handed over the trivial matters of the aftermath to the old blind man and others to deal with it collegially, and returned to the harem, because Wang Xinran had not had time to enter the middle palace, he went to the East Palace and talked to Wu Di.
Wu Di no longer participated in court politics after entering the East Palace, but Wu Di was very good at government affairs, and he also wanted to hear Wu Di's opinion on this battle.
Different from Wang Xinran, Wu Di is still more careful when talking to him, Wu Di is very satisfied with the result of this battle, and Wang Xinran is also very respected in his words, Wu Di's move is not flattery, in all fairness, if there is no Wang Xinran's participation in this battle, his own side is likely to be wiped out.
"Don't be too sad, they die as they deserve, no matter how much it costs, we must get these four kinds of protective incense, if you miss, there will be endless troubles. Wu Di whispered with relief.
"Those people are just the vanguard of the Protoss, just this battle has damaged half of the Terran Purple Qi masters, and the five seals will disappear at the end of this year, what will we do to intercept and resist at that time?" Wu Zhongyuan reclined on the warm couch, closed his eyes and sighed.
Wu Di thought for a while, and said, "The lack of purple qi wizards and warriors is indeed very bad for us, but fortunately, we still have time, the world is so big, there are no surprises, if we can find a magical spiritual object like a nine-leaf green lotus, we can quickly ascend and replenish the gains." Moreover, the firearms used in the middle palace are very powerful, at this time Zhou Rao has moved north, and the people of Zhou Rao are ingenious, we can let them imitate the firearms used in the middle palace and cast a large number of them. ”
"They may be able to find them, but they can't really make them with that kind of firearm. Wu Zhongyuan said casually, Wang Xinran used a high-precision sniper rifle, and it was impossible to make such precise parts and components at this time at the metallurgical level, and no matter how ingenious Zhou Rao's people were, they could only make bird guns, not standard guns, not anything else, they couldn't get rifling, and they couldn't make shots.
"There is no need to be too anxious, there will always be a way. Wu Di took the sugar water and delivered it.
As soon as Wu Zhongyuan took over the bowl, someone outside came to play a report, and a large number of birds flew from the south, and at this time they were already hundreds of miles away.
Wu Zhongyuan frowned when he heard the sound, put down the bowl and went out to inspect, sure enough, a large number of birds flew from the south, these birds were very familiar to him, most of them were birds such as ibis cranes, and then look at it, each bird was loaded with something on its back, and there were two birds with people sitting on it, and he also knew these two people, who were from Yanyun Mountain.
After confirming the identity of the visitor, Wu Zhongyuan guessed the purpose of the visitor, before Wan Shanhong had promised to support him 200,000 catties of copper and iron, because the winter was too cold, the cold birds were not suitable for transportation to the north, so it was agreed to send it after the beginning of spring.
Wu Zhongyuan did not continue to stay in the harem, left the palace and came to the square, and met and talked with the two people who transported copper and iron, this time the two sent two thousand catties of fine iron, the so-called fine iron is what later generations called wrought iron, wrought iron is tougher than pig iron, hardness is also greater, at this time it belongs to the second only to the black iron of high-quality metal, can be used to create various things including weapons.
The ordinary copper and iron, transported by a caravan of horses, had already set off for the north earlier today.
Wu Zhongyuan and the others spoke not only to complete the etiquette, but also to inquire about Wan Shanhong's situation, Wan Shanhong had been looking for a quiet place suitable for deducing Jin Jian Xuanwen, and he pointed out the Yanyun Island in the cold and icy land in the extreme north to Wan Shanhong.
This time, the two of them came to transport copper and iron because Wan Shanhong had confessed it years ago, and they had not seen Wan Shanhong recently, so it can be seen that Wan Shanhong probably went to Yanyun Island and stayed there.
As the saying goes, there is no disrespect, Wu Zhongyuan did not let these birds fly back, but rewarded some splendid pearls and jades as a gift.
Sending away the two of Yanyun Mountain, Wu Zhongyuan ordered to go down and ordered people to go to Goat Valley to meet the convoy transporting copper and iron. Moreover, there was no need to transport the copper and iron to Youxiong, who had previously discussed with Li Tai to build a large arsenal in the area between the Bird Clan and the Bear Clan, and the copper and iron could be sent there directly.
Just as he was about to return to the palace, the old blind man and Wu Rong stopped him, Wu Rong is currently the assistant of the household department and is in charge of farming, and the two stopped him to ask for instructions on how the hundred day rice and purple potato should be planted.
The two asked for instructions not on the specific planting method, but on the area and scope of cultivation, the Terrans only have one year to recuperate, and must hoard a large amount of rice grain this year, in addition to the grain millet planted before, whooping rice and purple potato are also the main sources of rice grain.
Since both of these items are rare, the idea of the duo is to concentrate on planting and send people to guard them closely to prevent the 100 day rice and purple potato from being obtained or destroyed by others.
Wu Zhongyuan denied the idea of the two after groaning, there is no need to plant centrally, you can plant it scattered, and there is no need to send people to guard it, you are not afraid of seed outflow, you can't see the good of others, everyone is really good.
In addition, the reason why he did not want to concentrate on planting was also because he was worried about being destroyed by the enemy, in case it was the harvest season, Wudao ran over and set a fire, which was a large area of fire, and relatively scattered planting could avoid this situation, even if part of it was destroyed, there were other farmlands that could be harvested.
When he returned to the harem, he happened to meet Wang Xinran and Jiang Nan talking from the pavilion, so he went over to say hello to the two, and then intentionally or unintentionally mentioned some details when he inspected the bloodline of the three clans that day, the reason why he mentioned this matter was to dispel Jiang Nan's doubts, you must know that Jiang Zheng was killed by Zhao Ying with a sniper rifle on the next day, he was worried that Jiang Nan saw the wounds of those shot warriors of the Protoss, and would suspect that Wang Xinran was the murderer of Jiang Zheng, but fortunately, Wang Xinran had been standing behind him when he was examining the bloodline of the three clans, and there was evidence of alibi.
Jiang Nan may not have doubted Wang Xinran at all, but whether Jiang Nan doubts it or not, it has to be said that the misunderstandings that can be avoided must be avoided as much as possible.
After chatting a few words, Wu Zhongyuan returned to the East Palace.
Seeing him come back, Wu Di warmed the sugar water he hadn't had time to eat before and then delivered it.
Wu Zhongyuan took it, and just about to eat, someone outside came to pass the ceremony, "Enlighten the saint, someone outside the palace asks to see ......"
