Chapter Forty-Three: Meeting with the Water City

However, it is said that after Huangfu Qianchong successively won Jasmine City and Mingcheng, he absorbed all the recovered Moshan bandits, and became famous for a while. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Within two days, bandits who had occupied a nearby city came to surrender. 、

Those who were still waiting and watching were also persuaded by Wu Lun in person, and almost effortlessly took a few more cities for Huangfu Qianchong.

The mountain bandits who were persuaded to surrender all the way were incorporated into the Moshan Army as a supplement to the Liuyu Army, but for more than a month, the serious bandits accumulated over the years in the Liuyu Moshan area were solved!

It's a win-win-win

However, he said that on this day, Huangfu Cen sent a message, mentioning that the recruitment of troops in the three cities had been completed, and Qingying felt that the time had come, and went to Shuicheng with Huangfu Qianchong.

Huangfu Qianchong agreed, leaving enough people to defend the city, and set off for Shuicheng with the elite soldiers selected from the Moshan Army and the Liuyu Army.

They are all their own territory, and it is easy to walk, and there is no obstacle along the way, starting from Mingcheng, the army of 3,000 people traveled for about three days, and then reached the sphere of influence of Shuicheng.

Fu Lingnan had already sent his deputy general Liang Xi to greet him, and when he saw the military flag of Huangfu Qianchong, he had been waiting for half a day.

"The last general, Liang Xi, see the third prince!" Liang Xi fell off his horse and knelt down on one knee in front of Huangfu Qianchong's car, and he was greeted by about a hundred soldiers behind him.

"General Liang, please get up!" Huangfu Qianchong raised his hand at him and motioned for him to get up.

Liang Xi thanked him before he stood up, and listened to Huangfu Qianchong say bluntly, "The general will lead the way!" ”

Liang Xi sighed in his heart that Huangfu Qianchong did things neatly and neatly, and he no longer greeted, so he answered, got on the horse and turned around, and led Huangfu Qianchong and his party to Shuicheng.

Water City is the most special city in Liuyu, which can be traced back to at least 500 years of history.

But it has been called "Water City" for more than 100 years.

More than 100 years ago, due to a strong earthquake, the terrain around Shuicheng subsided, and the river poured back, flooding the roof!

There are a lot of people in Watertown, and it is really difficult to find another place to relocate. In addition, most of the people of Shuicheng were reluctant to leave their homeland, so it was decided to build a new city on the original site of Shuicheng.

But the ground that had already sunk could not be rebuilt, the pumping project was too large, and there was a risk that the river would backfill again. At that time, some people had the whimsical idea to build a HOS house on top of the original house, so as to solve the problem of laying a foundation without land.

They followed suit, and in this way, a new city was built on top of the old city.

The castle was surrounded by a riverbed formed by river water, and the entire castle looked like it was built on water from a distance, so it was renamed "Water Castle".

It is precisely because the environment around this water city is special, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is directly connected to the river, so it is used as a garrison place by the Southern Xinjiang Army.

Most of the people in Liuyu have heard of the strangeness of the water city, but Huangfu Qianchong and others have seen the magnificence of this water city for the first time.

The group boarded a huge wooden warship to the water city.

From a distance, the city seemed to float on the water, and as the sun set, the water sparkled and cast a touch of afterglow outside the city walls, gorgeous and beautiful.

"What a beautiful city!" Qingying couldn't help but sigh, in the early years, she often heard her second brother mention this city, and she already had a yearning for it, and now that she sees it, she really lives up to her expectations!

On the side, Nangong Ao raised his hand to take her into his arms, met her smile, and pulled her cloak, for fear that she would get a little cold.

In the blink of an eye, the gates of the water city were in front of you.

The warship that Huangfu Qianchong and the others were riding was a smaller command ship, so they could directly pass through.

In a normal city, there will be a main road after entering the city gate, but when you get to the water city, it is a waterway!

Qingying looked around, ignoring the water under the ship and the bridges that could be seen everywhere, then it was almost no different from the rest of the city.

The only difference is that the houses in this water city are very high under the air.

Probably to prevent flooding into the house when the water rises? Qing Ying thought, and in the blink of an eye, he had arrived at the place where the Southern Xinjiang Army was stationed.

At the end of the waterway, there is a bluestone staircase of about a dozen steps, and there should be a platform on the top of the stairs, and not far behind the platform is a building similar to an official residence, which is the office of the Southern Xinjiang Army.

At this time, Fu Lingnan was waiting on the platform with a group of defenders in southern Xinjiang, and when he saw Huangfu Qianchong coming, he immediately walked down the steps and personally went to the side of the waterway to greet him.

Seeing Fu Lingnan, Huangfu Qianchong was full of emotion in his heart, and his guilt was indescribable.

I recall that when they were still in the military school, when they were marching in the mountains, one of the levels was that Uncle Shi was the examiner.

At that time, Uncle Shi also asked him to convey the agreement to fight again with the master, but before, in order to cover his withdrawal, the master chose to stay as a resistance, and the available news said that the master had sacrificed......

The two brothers never saw each other again......

When the boat arrived on the shore, it was inconvenient to salute here, so Fu Lingnan had no choice but to arch his hand at him and said respectfully, "Your Highness, it's been hard all the way!" ”

Huangfu Qianchong got down from the boat and immediately helped him up, his eyes flickered, and he held back the sourness in his heart and said, "Uncle Shi, you're welcome!" ”

He said and sank down, frowning guiltily, "Uncle, master, he ......"

"Your Highness!" Fu Lingnan pursed the corners of his mouth shallowly, and preemptively stopped him, "As a general, I am proud to die on the battlefield!" Big brother, in order to protect you, he left Mingjun for Liuyu, and this is a well-deserved death. At present, the Quartet is in turmoil, and the people are in distress, Your Highness must not be disturbed by this, and the world should be the most important! ”

Huangfu Qianchong nodded gratefully and remained silent.

"Pay seniors!" Nangong Mao arched his hand at him and suggested, "The water is windy, and this is not the place to talk, so let's go in first and talk about it!" ”

"Yes!" Fu Lingnan nodded, and welcomed Huangfu Qianchong and others into the commander's mansion of the Southern Xinjiang Army.

After sitting down and greeting a few words, Huangfu Qianchong asked about the recruitment of troops in southern Xinjiang.

Speaking of this, Fu Lingnan finally showed a smile on his face, "Back to Your Highness, at the beginning, when King Qin asked the last general to recruit troops in Shuicheng at the same time, the situation was not very good, but when His Highness conquered Jasmine City, the situation of this recruitment gradually improved, and now there are about 45,000 people, plus the original garrison of Shuicheng, at present, the strength of Shuicheng is almost 50,000 people." However, there are about 35,000 people who can come in handy right away. ”

Qingying listened and nodded, "The situation on our side is similar, except for the guards who stay in the various cities, there are more than 10,000 people trained under Brother Xiao, and they will be put into use in the near future, and we have about 3,000 elite soldiers under our command, and after the division in Shuicheng, there are almost 48,000 troops." She paused as she spoke, "And on Senior Brother's side, there are almost 50,000 or so people who can use it, and the strength of the two sides is close to 100,000!" ”

"In such a short period of time, it is very gratifying to have this situation!" Nangong Mao couldn't help but sigh.

"Looks like we can start connecting!" Xia Ziyou said excitedly.

Everyone was also excited when they heard it, and they couldn't help but look at each other and laugh.

"It's almost time," Fu Lingnan stood up and said to everyone, "Everyone has been walking all the way for so long, and they should be tired, so it's better to eat first, and discuss the rest tomorrow!" (To be continued.) )
