Chapter 30: The Terran King's City
For the Terran Dynasty, the eight hundred town princes scattered in all directions were only dependent forces, and only the internal territory was the core of the Great Shang Dynasty.
The 800 princes were nominally subservient to the court, but in fact they were all vassal states that divided their territories.
If the power of the Terran homeland declines, some princes will become ambitious and disobey the rule of the court.
is like Beihai Yuan Futong, who rebelled against Chaoge in the future, he won over the princes of the seventy-two towns in the north, and even suppressed the Northern Bohou, becoming one of Chaoge's external troubles.
In order to guard against the princes of the four directions, Chaoge built checkpoints in dangerous places in the local territory, just in case.
The pass to guard against the princes of the two hundred roads in the east is the Wandering Soul Pass!
"Sure enough, it is a dangerous pass, if you only use armor to attack the city, it will be difficult to break through the dead and wounded millions of soldiers and horses......"
After Feng Yuan and the others saw the Wandering Soul Pass, this emotion rose in their hearts.
Although the reputation of the Wandering Soul Pass cannot be compared with the Three Mountains and Five Passes in the West, as the gateway to the Great Shang East, it has resisted the millions of soldiers and horses of the two hundred princes in the East for decades in the future.
If a powerful general is placed at this pass, Feng Yuan will be helpless against this kind of majestic pass, even if he uses all his strength.
The Wandering Soul Pass has stood for many years, at the beginning, the land in the east outside the pass was basically the territory of the Dongyi people, and the blood stains on the wall that could not be clearly seen were the traces of the battle between the Great Shang and Dongyi for many years.
Later, the Great Shang became stronger and stronger, relying on the Wandering Soul Pass as the foundation, and constantly expanding the territory to the east, and gradually developed a full 200 town princes.
With the princes acting as a buffer for the homeland, the Wandering Soul Pass has developed from a heavily guarded military town to a semi-military, half-princely territory. Absorbed a large number of people to settle in the neighborhood.
Among them, the Dou clan is the most famous family in the territory near the Wandering Soul Pass. The head of the family, Dou Rong, is now the chief soldier of the Wandering Soul Pass, and he is also one of the few famous generals in the Great Shang Dynasty.
Chen Qi tried his best to rescue those Dou disciples from the monsters, just to get in touch with Dou Rong of the Wandering Soul Pass, so as to pass the stages of ordinary armor and hundred people in one fell swoop, and directly become the head of a thousand people.
Of course, this was Chen Qi's previous thoughts.
After the subtle stimulation of Feng Yuan, Feng Zong at this time had already developed ambitions in his heart, and he had the ambition to replace Donglu and become the new Dongbohou. If you want to overpower Donglu, the efforts of your subordinates are indispensable.
Recruit a master and talent, and Qingzhou's strength can increase by one point.
Without Feng Yuan's reminder, Feng Zong kept talking to Chen Qi on the road, intentionally or unintentionally soliciting Chen Qi, and even vaguely said that as long as Chen Qi was willing to take refuge, he could directly appoint him as a deputy general. The status in the Hou Mansion is only below a few people.
Becoming a thousand-person general through the Dou family's relationship or joining Qingzhou to directly become a deputy general, which of the two options is better?
Chen Qi only hesitated slightly, and immediately expressed his willingness to join Qingzhou and work for Fengzong and Fengyuan!
After recruiting Chen Qi, everyone ignored the banquet of Dou Rong, the chief soldier of the Wandering Soul Pass, and hurried to continue on their way.
......
As the drizzle fell, dark clouds covered the sky, and countless people on the road headed for a majestic city ahead, including woodcutters carrying dry firewood, farmers carrying vegetables and vegetables, and merchants driving chariots.
The huge city in front of it is not as far as the eye can see, and there are extremely powerful armor soldiers patrolling and garrisoning on the city walls, and on the four sides of the city, there are hundreds of city gates that allow people inside and outside the city to enter and exit.
The number of people who entered the city every morning to beg for a living was hundreds of thousands.
And the people and magnates who lived in the city were almost innumerable. The huge crowd renders the city extremely prosperous.
"It's finally here!"
Feng Yuan rode the five-colored sacred cow, and saw the Xiongcheng in the distance, and subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. This Xiongcheng is the center of the Great Shang Dynasty, the capital of the Terran Dynasty.
Qingzhou is located in the eastern frontier of the Great Shang Dynasty, it is not easy to rush from the frontier to Chaoge, he is not yet an immortal who has stepped into the fairyland, and he will not escape the magic power, he can only rush step by step through the mount.
Needless to say, the experience on the road was dry and tasteless.
At first, Feng Yuan was still interested in observing the local customs of the Great Shang, but after watching it for a few days, he went directly into the carriage to cultivate.
After such a long journey, I have finally reached my destination.
Looking at it from afar, you can see endless qi surging from all directions, forming a heavenly pillar that penetrates the sky and the earth, and in the heavenly pillar, a mysterious bird spreads its wings to protect all living beings in the territory of thousands of miles.
After seeing the Xuanniao transformed by the great business's luck, Feng Yuan subconsciously compared Linzi's luck true dragon with the other party, and found that the two sides were not of the same grade at all.
"Compared with Chaoge, Linzi now is like a loach in a pond...... If you want to become a true dragon that spans the Nine Heavens, it will take a long time to accumulate!"
Feng Yuan shook his head slightly.
Even the Western Zhou Dynasty, which replaced the Great Shang Dynasty in the original timeline, did not dare to prick the slightest prick in the heyday of the dynasty, and kept low and small all day long, without seeing the slightest ambition.
"Let's go! After we enter the city, we will first go to worship the first emperor!"
Fengzong had been to Chaoge several times, and he was familiar with the situation in the city, so he immediately led everyone into the city.
After seeing the banner of the Marquis of Qingzhou, the armor guarding the city gate hurriedly led people to disperse the people at the city gate and cleared the road into the city for the convoy.
In the city, the streets are wide and there are many pavilions. The overall look is similar to the bustling cities in Feng Yuan's memory.
Now Yin Shou has moved from the East Palace into the palace, and is guarding filial piety for the deceased Emperor Yi, only when the four great princes and the marquis of Kyushu gather, he will hold the succession hall and officially ascend to the throne of the emperor.
"Master Hou, General Feng, you're finally here!"
When Feng Zong and Feng Yuan went to the palace to worship, not long after reporting their names, they saw Huang Feihu and Feng Lin walking out quickly.
The two wore armor and served as his personal guards until Yin was succeeded to the throne.
After seeing Feng Yuan, Huang Feihu, who had a stiff face, also showed a smile.
When the Eastern Expedition was made, the two sides also joined forces and formed some friendships. Huang Feihu also admired Feng Yuan's ability.
"Brother Huang, Brother Feng, we haven't seen each other for a long time!"
Feng Yuan also greeted him with a smile, not to mention Feng Lin, the two sides have a blood relationship, and Huang Feihu is the future king of Zhenguo Wucheng, which is even more worthy of wooing.
It would be great if in the future, when the king of Zhenguo Wucheng was desperate and betrayed the big business, he chose to take refuge in Qingzhou!
Of course, these are all things for the future.
Feng Yuan is now only thinking about getting into a relationship with the other party, and when Qingzhou and Donglu have a conflict in the future, he can use the relationship to resolve Donglu's relationship network in Chaoge.
