Lang Cangyu used to be the guard of the Flying Camel Pass, but after the imperial court canceled the Flying Camel Pass, he became an idle general and a marquis, and he took up a temporary post in the military department. Although Emperor Taiqian wanted to enable Lang Cangyu several times, Lang Cangyu had no choice but to reject Emperor Taiqian, saying in front of the first emperor that he (Emperor Taiqian) did not understand military affairs, how important the Flying Camel Pass was, and having the Flying Camel Pass could deter the clouds of the Southern Barbarian Hundred Kingdoms, and directly angered the first emperor. Emperor Taiqian then demoted Lang Cangyu to Muzhou to serve as the general of Muzhou, and he was not allowed to enter Beijing unless he was ordered.

When Lang Cangyu was a guard general in Muzhou, Muzhou did not dare to start a rebellion, and even the robbers escaped from Muzhou, just because this old man was too capable of fighting and too belligerent, and he trained soldiers according to the law, and sent troops to encircle and suppress according to the law. What burned mountains, exterminated clans, poisoned, and drugged, General Lang Lao did everything to deal with the bandits in Muzhou, and even he did not allow the sects to exist in Muzhou, forcing hundreds of sects to have to relocate to other places. Maybe it's because he killed too many people, General Lang only had one son, and he was frail and sick since he was a child, and his son died of illness after three years of marriage, leaving behind a granddaughter, who is only fourteen years old this year. It can be said that in the granddaughter's generation, the Lang family is considered to have no children and grandchildren, so Lang Cangyu is even more unscrupulous and fearless.

A few years ago, Emperor Taiqian wanted to use Lang Cangyu to assist Xuanyuan Zixun as the deputy commander of the Qinglong Army, but Lang Cangyu pointed at Xuanyuan Zixun's nose and scolded: "Huangkou Xiaoer can also be the commander, you lead the troops, kill I don't know tens of thousands of people, if you want me to lead the troops, I will lead the troops, why use such a child who does not understand military affairs to be the commander, it is really ridiculous." If you don't go, you can't go, it's ridiculous to lead troops like this. ”

Emperor Taiqian had no choice but to use Li Cunyi as a deputy marshal to assist Xuanyuan Zixun, and sure enough, Xuanyuan Zixun led the troops to the north to fight for injustice, and ended up being defeated and killed, and the Qinglong Army has since become the second Xuanwu army. And because General Lang Lao had already predicted, many people thought that Emperor Taiqian was appointed indiscriminately, and Emperor Taiqian naturally smashed his anger on General Lang's head.

But the old general is fearless, even if he is dismissed from the Muzhou guard, he is still at ease every day after returning to Longdu, although his subordinates do not have eighteen righteous sons, but there are also flying camels and seven masters, no one dares to provoke. This flying camel Qijie is the seven most capable and best fighting generals in the army promoted by General Lang Lao, of course, his temper is as stinky as him, and he is all a stone in the pit. After the old general was dismissed as the general of Muzhou, the seven of them resigned and went home to the old general as a guest, accompanied the old general all day long, and carefully taught the only granddaughter of the old general.

General Lang Lao was not aiming at Zhang Xiaowu's temper, but he was originally this kind of stinky temper, and when his interest came up, he dared to chase after Dushanbo and scold.

Seeing that the old general was gone, everyone could only smile bitterly, and Zhang Xiaowu was also helpless, but although the old general like Lang Cangyu had a worse temper, he was a problem-solver and the most determined main battle faction in the imperial court. A court needs to have a main battle faction like him, otherwise in the face of strong enemies and thorny problems, everyone is too calm, but they will cower and not want to forge ahead.

Seeing that it was getting late, everyone retreated after discussing the twists and turns.

Zhang Xiaowu stayed alone in the Central Mansion, he asked people to make a bowl of noodles, and ate Jingguang with noodles and snoring.

"General, you have a good appetite today." Wang Yijin smiled, "Do you need to add another bowl?" ”

"No need." Zhang Xiaowu rubbed his temples and suddenly asked, "By the way, the agarwood incense you gave me last time was quite good, and after I used it, I fell asleep quickly." ”

Wang Yijin snickered in his heart, can it not work? Where is the agarwood incense, that is the incense, which is used by those indiscriminate flower picking thieves under the rivers and lakes. He asked people to dilute the incense and then remake it into an incense plate, and said that after using this plate of agarwood incense, people seem to sink into the water to rest, which is extremely comfortable.

After Zhang Xiaowu used it, he slept very sweetly.

"I'll give you something?" Wang Yijin asked.

"No, I'm thinking about one thing right now."

"What's the matter?"

"Can the empire still expand?"

Wang Yijin said: "I brought the map?" ”

"Bring it."

A huge map was thrown on the table, Zhang Xiaowu was still staring at the world map, the empire's OOCL had the Dongying Hundred Kingdoms Islands; In the northeast, there are Birch River Plain, Black Forest, Beiyi Ice Field, and Dead Sea Desert outside Longmen Pass; Outside the two wolf passes in the north are the Saibei Wasteland, the Wuhuan Empire, the Yueshi Kingdom, and the Wuzi Kingdom; In the west of the empire, outside the Yumen Pass is Wanli Huangsha, and to the west of Wanli Huangsha are hundreds of countries in the Western Regions, such as Shengfan and Mida, as well as part of the territory of Uzi; In the southwest of the empire, in the northwest of Yizhou, there are hundreds of countries living on the Qiang Mountain Plateau, such as the Southern Qiang, the Northern Qiang, the Western Qiang, the Xiao'an, the Yelu, the Great Food, and the Small Food; In the southeast of the empire, there is a barrier of 100,000 mountains, beyond which there are still hundreds of barbarian countries in the tropics, but the saints and Han people cannot live in the tropics, so the 100,000 mountains have also become the southern barrier of the empire.

Looking at the map, Zhang Xiaowu was dumbfounded, and said to himself: "There are east and west Yehe Mountains as city walls in the north, 100,000 mountains as barriers in the south, thousands of miles of yellow sand and Qiang Mountain Plateau in the west, and boundless sea in the east. ”

Wang Yijin said: "In fact, the territory of the empire has been expanded to the extreme, you see, there are only 100,000 mountains to the south, even if you cross it, the barbarians there are used to the hot areas full of miasma and poisonous insects, and we Han people can't live there." Moreover, the road to cross the 100,000 mountains would take two months, so it would not be possible to expand southward. In two directions to the west, one is to climb the Qiangshan Plateau, where it is difficult to breathe and cannot climb up, and the other is to cross thousands of miles of yellow sand to go to the Western Regions, which is also worthless. So, the only thing that can be expanded is to the north, due north of the Saibei Heath and northeast of the Birch River Plain. ”

Zhang Xiaowu praised: "I didn't expect you to study geography very thoroughly, not inferior to me at all." ”

Wang Yijin said with a smile: "It's all educated by you, or is it better for you to educate." ”

"Flim Flam." Zhang Xiaowu said, "So in all dynasties, the county kings have expanded to the north, either in the north or in the northeast, and as a result, the Qinglong Army broke the halberd in the north, and the Xuanwu army broke in the northeast." He stared at the map, looking at the natural barriers around the map, they did help the Holy Han resist the invasion of the alien race, but at the same time, they were also a cage, imprisoning the civilization of the Holy Han Empire in this eastern continent.

"General, what did you say was the end of the sea?" Wang Yijin suddenly pointed to Dongying Baidao and asked, "At the end of the sea, could it be where the gods are?" ”

Zhang Xiaowu laughed, the end of the sea, will it be a new continent?
