Chapter 723: Fu Meng Lingcha's Warning (1) [First Update]

"Childe, is that Hulu Yege really trustworthy?"

Walking on the road, Hu Ren rubbed shoulders and passed through, and the lone wolf suddenly asked. Wandering outside for more than a year, although Wang Chong has been made a marquis, the lone wolf still maintains the original title of "Gongzi".

"It's not about trust, as long as there's profit. Moreover, he can't believe it. ”

Wang Chong smiled, but in his mind, he remembered the strange expression on Hulu Yege's face when he finally left.

Yao Luoge, the closest and most trusted housekeeper around Khuluyege, is in charge of more than seventy percent of the property around him, and is absolutely "loyal" in Khuluyege's heart.

It's a pity that even Hulu Yege didn't expect that it would be three or four days at most, and this loyal subordinate in his eyes would take his concubine and abscond with the money.

Khulu Yege later made a series of big mistakes, and he knew that he was beheaded by the Great Khan Sha Boluo of the Western Turks, which may have something to do with it.

"Also, Childe...... , 100,000 war horses, this is not a small amount, can we really take it with our ability?"

The lone wolf said worriedly.

According to the price given by Wang Chong, one hundred taels of gold, and one hundred thousand fine war horses is ten million taels of gold. Wang Chong even borrowed the cost of building the current steel city from thousands of families in Jingshi, and if he wanted to buy 100,000 fine war horses, he would never be able to do it with the ability of the Wang family.

"Hahaha, I see that after you came out of the Huluyege Mansion, your eyebrows were furrowed, you didn't talk much, and you looked worried, it turns out that you are worried about this. 100,000 war horses, of course we can't do it with the ability of our Wang family, and besides, why do our Wang family want so many war horses?"

Wang Chong smiled, looking indifferent. How much gold is needed to buy a horse, he never thinks about it, and he doesn't care at all.

"It's ...... that boy buys so many war horses"

The lone wolf tilted his head sideways, puzzled.

He had always thought that Wang Chong disguised himself and quietly sneaked into the Western Regions to buy so many war horses for himself, but now it didn't sound like that was the case at all, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart.

Even if he had been following Wang Chong for so long, he felt that he still couldn't keep up with Wang Chong's train of thought at all.

"Haha, of course it's for Datang. ”

Wang Chong said without thinking.

Of the 100,000 war horses, he will leave a maximum of 10,000, and the follow-up will intercept 30,000 to 40,000 of them, and the rest will be sent to the imperial court.

Raising these war horses requires not a small amount, and only the imperial court can do it calmly. In addition, as for the gold and silver needed to buy a horse......

Whether it is 10 million taels or tens of millions of taels, for the current Datang, it is just a drizzle, what is it?

Although the Tang Dynasty has declined militarily, the people are at ease, and they no longer have the heroism and enterprising they used to be, but for so many years, the country and the people have been peaceful, and they have indeed accumulated a lot of wealth.

When will you not use this time, and how long will you save it?

Wang Chong quickly left the Western Regions, and as he had done when he came, he did not alarm anyone. At the same time as he left, a carrier pigeon with golden feet and claws soared into the sky, leaving the Western Regions and flying to the capital division of the Tang Dynasty at a speed far faster than that of ordinary carrier pigeons.

A few days later, the carrier pigeon fell from the sky, through the layers of windows, and landed in the study of King Song.

"It's ...... Wang Chong's letter?"

King Song took out the letterhead and immediately looked at it, and the more he looked, the brighter King Song's eyes became, and finally he couldn't help laughing excitedly.

"Hahaha, 100,000 fine war horses! Wang Chong, you have made a great contribution to the imperial court! No matter how many 10,000 taels of gold you need, this king will go to the imperial court and do his best to solve it for you.

Speaking of the last sentence, King Song's face suddenly became extremely cold, there are priorities, ordinary things are just that, but when it comes to the war horses urgently needed by the imperial court, in this kind of major right and wrong, if anyone dares to make trouble, he will kill a few imperial historians and doctors.

Without the slightest slowness, King Song took Wang Chong's letterhead, hurried his steps, and soon left King Song's mansion.

......

Wang Chong soon returned to the City of Steel. It took more than ten days before and after, and the current steel city is very different from before:

The huge city wall of 40 meters stood on the ground, smooth and steep, enough to make any siege equipment such as ladders look at it.

After the completion of the construction of the outer ring of the city wall, nearly 150,000 craftsmen are already building the inner ring of the city wall, as well as various restaurants, tea shops, and inns in the steel city.

Various families also began to send people to build their own restaurants and shops, and the entire city was under construction, showing signs of being in full swing.

At this point, Wang Chong's fiefdom has begun to get on the right track, and nothing can stop it.

"Master Hou, the steel and city wall modules in the early stage have all been used up, and the next construction speed is probably not so fast, and the sword towers and sword shops in various states and counties are needed to build the follow-up city wall modules, and then send them to Wusheng. I'm afraid I won't be able to deliver this in a short time. ”

Standing on the high city wall, facing the fierce wind, Zhang Shouzhi opened his mouth and said:

"In addition, in addition to the simple defense of the city, it also needs to set up some mezzanine walls, and some arrow stacks and other places for soldiers to avoid enemy attacks. I'm afraid that the speed can't be fast, and it can't be compared with the previous stage. ”

"It doesn't matter. At this point in the construction of the City of Steel, we already have a foothold. That's what I was trying to do in the first place. Now we've all reached it!"

Wang Chong hunted with long hair and fluttering clothes.

There are hurries and slows, modular construction of the city, it seems that it is extremely fast, Wang Chong's "steel city" is a miracle for many people. But many people ignore how much manpower, material resources, and time it takes to prepare these modules of the Steel City in the early stage.

If it weren't for the resources and financial resources of the various families in the capital, as well as the mobilization of the casting capacity of the entire Middle-earth Divine Continent, the shock of "building a city overnight" would have been impossible at all. This is a huge and unimaginable project, and for many forces, many people, it is simply a luxury!

But despite all the shocking points, there is a huge flaw hidden behind the shocking speed of modular construction of cities:

That is, all its shocking emotions are based on the full preparation in the early stage, and once the modules are consumed, you have to wait for the later construction, which will be much slower. This is also the current situation facing the steel city.

This period of frantic construction has consumed all the surrounding city wall modules, and the next construction speed will naturally be slow.

However, for Wang Chong, his purpose has been achieved.

"Boom!"

When he was talking to Zhang Shouzhi, suddenly, the earth shook, and a roar like a sea tide suddenly came from the north. Wang Chong's heart was shocked, and when he turned his head to look, he saw that at the horizon, thick smoke was billowing and rushing into the sky, and countless black spots in the smoke were galloping towards him, and the momentum was extremely terrifying.

"Enemy attack!"

A roar tore through the sky, and around the Steel City, the thousands of elite horsemen brought by Wang Chong from the southwest, as well as the city guards brought by the major families, reacted immediately. In just an instant, in all directions, all the guards who were not far away gathered one after another, and in a short period of time, they lined up in battle formation, ready to charge and attack the opponent at any time.

"Buzz!"

Not far away, steel roared, and two huge steel doors opened, and as they could welcome their knights into the city, they could also keep the enemy out of the city at any time, and defend them with a heavy, strong city.

Rolling, Wang Chong's ears heard the sound of the machine, and a sharpshooter brought by a famous family quickly rushed to the city, took a bow and arrows, and aimed at the north.

——It was only a few breaths before and after, and just now, it was still busy, and the city of steel, which was lax, immediately became heavily armed and heavily guarded, like a steel molestation.

"Buzz!"

The "enemy army" on the opposite side was getting closer and closer, and the smoke and dust were getting thicker and thicker, seeing that there was going to be a fierce battle next, suddenly, Wang Chong's eyelids jumped and he sneered.

"Stop! The order goes down, and the whole army is on standby to maintain a defensive posture. Archers, retract the bowstrings! No one is allowed to act without my orders!"

Wang Chong raised an arm straight and suddenly ordered.

This sudden attack immediately stunned everyone.

"Mr. Zhang, you are waiting here. I'll leave for a while, I'll take care of this matter!"

Wang Chong stood on the city wall, looked into the distance, looked at the smoke and dust in the distance, and sneered:

"Looks like we've got a good friend!"

After saying this, Wang Chong turned his body around, and soon left the city wall along the steps of the city wall. Behind him, Zhang Shouzhi still looked stunned, not understanding what was going on.

But facing the scorching sun, his eyes narrowed slightly, and after a while, Zhang Shouzhi's expression shook slightly, and he suddenly understood something.

"It turned out to be him!!"

Zhang Shouzhi's expression was slightly shocked, and he blurted out, looking at a hunting and dancing battle flag suddenly stretched out in the billowing smoke, and there was a deep worry in his eyes.

"Bai Siling, Zhao Hongying, you are guarding in the city, don't come over!"

"Cheng Sanyuan, Su Shixuan, follow me!"

"Yes, Master Hou!"

......

The war horses crowed, and hurried away from the city with a puff of smoke and dust.

Cheng Sanyuan and Su Shixuan, both of whom were born and died in the southwest with Wang Chong, were among the thousands of masters that Wang Chong recruited from major families.

These two are very strong, crowning the masters of other families, and they are extremely loyal.

In order to curry favor with Wang Chong and at the same time close the relationship with the Wang family, in order to board the huge chariot of the Wang family and the King of Song, they simply gave these two people to Wang Chong as his close attendants.

However, Wang Chong values them not only for their martial arts, but also for their courage, as well as on-the-spot adaptability, and decision-making ability. In the Battle of the Southwest, when Li Siye led them back, the Wusi Tibetans tried to counterattack a wave, wanting to attack from the diagonal moment, cutting off Li Siye's impact formation.

As a result, the two sensed the danger in advance, led a team, and took the initiative to charge while the Uszang Iron Cavalry had not yet gathered and formed a queue.

A team of more than a dozen people, unstoppable, directly scattered the iron cavalry of seven or eight hundred people and broke up their offensive.
