Li Kou was talking to Zhu Wu.

He didn't expect that the tall, black and thin man in front of him was the famous Divine Machine Strategist.

"The villain's surname is Zhu Mingwu, he comes from Huayin, and he is originally from Huayin." This was the first sentence Zhu Wu said after asking to see him in person.

At that time, Li Kou was inspecting at the foot of the South Mountain of the Wild Boar Gou Military Village.

After the 800 army passed, Li Kou always felt unsteady.

Here, it is too close to the area controlled by the Tibetan tribes.

There is Longzhou in the south of Weizhou, and Qinzhou in the southwest.

It is said that the Tibetan tribes were unable to enter the Weizhou area through the defense line in the seed division.

However, this is too close to the front line after all.

Li Kou was even more worried about the operation of the Western Xia and Khitan here, and they were afraid that they would not let the two military villages in Weizhou that curb the north-south communication arteries grow smoothly.

The 800 army, once out of Weizhou, if it meets the Tibetan tribes, there will definitely be a fierce battle.

If the Western Xia forces also had a force here, then the elimination of Qu Jun was a necessary measure to strike at the military strength of Weizhou and even Jingyuan Road.

Standing on the road, Li Kou was strange that he seemed to know the road here.

"My lord, but do you think the road here is very old?" Some subordinates asked with a smile.

Li Kou nodded and said, "It's really very simple." ”

"The lord has been in the enemy mirror for a long time, if not, he must know the famous ancient road in Weizhou, and the Sprinkle family heard that this is the ancient road of the Han Dynasty, saying that it was a merchant in that year, and most of them passed through here with people and horses dragging goods." Commanded the way.

Li Kou patted his forehead, and he remembered.

Xiaomei once told him that Weizhou was an important town on the ancient Silk Road.

He remembered that when his little sister took him on a field trip, she also let him see an ancient road discovered by archaeology.

The road winds up the mountain, and the road is wide but uneven.

Li Kou noticed that there was a stone tablet erected in a section of the ruined wall here, and the handwriting of "Fanliu Village" could barely be seen on it.

That......

Li Kou's heart moved, if this is the ancient silk road, why not develop it anew?

"Look, from here, can you go through Qingtang Prefecture and reach the far Western Regions?" Li Kou asked.

The subordinates shook their heads and said, "We don't know. ”

Even the Western Regions have never heard of it.

Li Kou was silent.

"Han family, there are many people who don't know the hometown of the Han and Tang Dynasties." Li Koubei came from it.

He knew Ban Dingyuan, he knew the "white-haired city guard", and he knew the place where the little sister of Talas often had red eyes when she talked about it.

"The Han and Tang Dynasties are majestic, and the ancient silk road ......" Li Kou only muttered these familiar and unfamiliar words in his heart.

At this time, someone came to report that it was the homeless Qu Shuai who asked to see him.

"It's the man who the three lords ordered us to keep an eye on, and I think it's a leader." Commanded the newspaper.

Li Kou looked back and saw Zhu Wu, who was tall and thin.

As soon as he came, he reported to his house.

Li Kou looked at Zhu Wu, he had only heard the deeds of these people from Xiaomei.

Xiaomei said that Wu Yong was a conspirator.

"The bad water in that guy's stomach is very bad now, but in the old society, it was a symbol of ability. I don't want to see this person, even more so than Song Jiang. Compared with this person, Zhu Wu has more real talent and learning, and in terms of wisdom, he is not necessarily worse than Wu Yong; In terms of righteousness, it is more than a few miles higher than Wu Yong's ignorance of protecting Chao Gai and then throwing himself into Song Jiang. The most important thing is that this guy is a military talent, with a strong ability to march and fight, and he has never been ambushed by Lu Junyi, which shows that he has a strong ability to command troops. On the battlefield, this person knows a variety of formations, and he can use his strengths to attack the enemy's shortcomings at any time as needed, which is a real skill. It's a pity that this person has the ability, but he can't be reused, too, Liang Shanbo is very powerful, but in fact he is just a group of grass-headed soldiers, what ability can Zhu Wu embody. Xiaomei said.

He is now numb, and it is said that most of the characters in "Water Margin" are made up, but now that he has seen Luda Huyanzhuo and Zhu Wu first, he no longer cares.

"It turns out that you are Zhu Wu," Li Kou asked, "I have heard of your name, since you are Huayin Caokou, are you not afraid of being arrested by the government?" But what are you doing in my Weizhou? ”

Zhu Wu smiled and said: "The owner of the village has promoted the villain, where is there a great reputation, but he seeks a way to live in this world." ”

He said calmly: "Only this time I came to find the owner of the village, one is to seek a new way to live, after all, Caokou is not a long-term solution." Moreover, the villain just heard that there is a Zhu Wen under the command of the owner of the village......"

"You're Zhu Wen's younger brother?" Li Kou laughed dumbly.

Zhu Wu said: "It is the villain's brother, the owner of the village is benevolent, save his mother and brother, if he regenerates Zhu Wu, he dares to ask the villain to worship." ”

Li Kou waved his hand: "In this case, you don't have to be polite, let's say, how do you plan to settle down?" ”

"If everyone can be a man, who wants to be a thief?" Zhu Wu said unceremoniously, "If the villain doesn't have half the ability, and he doesn't dare to involve the old mother and brother, the owner of the village can make people inquire, Huayin County, no one who knows Zhu Wu's face, Huayin Order, a thousand days sent someone to burn the cottage, known as a great victory, the thieves of Shaohua Mountain, have long been wiped out, and now Zhu Wu is just a first-class citizen." ”

Li Kou thought about it carefully and first agreed with Zhu Wu's statement.

"You are a talented person," Li Kou didn't believe Zhu Wu, but he believed in the little sister, "Willing to be in the army?" For the people? ”

"I am willing to run for the owner of the village." Zhu Wu deliberately approached.

Of course, Li Kou knew that he was not sincere.

But it doesn't hurt, he has to think about it.

"This guy is also a man." Because he was beaten by the army the day before yesterday, Zhu Wu was very much loved by Li Kou and his subordinates.

If you can be beaten, is you a good man?

Li Kou scolded with a smile: "Let you read more books, it's all dead." Go back and stare at those officials, the minister's money matter is very important," he looked sideways at Zhu Wu, "Since you have the name of a divine machine military advisor, can you plan for me?" ”

Zhu Wu smiled and said: "Why do you care about this matter, the owner of the village only investigates the petty officials, and he is neither a messenger nor a prince, so why bother too much?" As long as the Wild Boar Ditch Military Village is in hand, it echoes with the north and south of the Beiyuan Military Village, and it is Weizhou, locking the door to the east......"

"Silence!" Li Koden scolded.

Zhu Wu was not afraid, and said with a smile: "The owner of the village has the majesty of a gun and a knife, besides, there are only two military villages, there are only a few hundred, and there will be no more than three or five people, and most of them are divided into business.

Li Kou laughed heartily: "Where are the Sprinkle family and the Son of Heaven?" ”

"The owner of the village doesn't have to laugh, this is a real thing, at least," Zhu Wu paused, "The people of Weizhou don't think so." ”

Li Kou was vigilant in his heart, this is not a good identity.

"However, the prestige of the owner of the village with a knife and a gun, a big gun, pressed the heroes in the west and did not dare to open their eyes, so no one talked about it, but it does not mean that people don't think so." Zhu Wu praised, "If this is the case, why not guard the north for Weizhou and guard the east gate for the military and civilians?" Besides......"

Li Kou stopped his rambling and only asked one.

Do you know this ancient way?

Zhu Wu's spirits perked up, and he looked excited, and said: "The owner of the village only knows that there is an ancient road in Weizhou, but he knows that hundreds of miles to the south, there is actually an ancient road, called 'Hui Road', or 'Qingtang Road'?" ”

Li Kou's eyes flashed, and he only asked the reason.

"It is recorded in the "Historical Records" that it is stated in the "Book of Han" that in today's Qingtang Prefecture, there is a saying of 'Qiangzhong Road'. From the Wei and Jin dynasties to the late Sui and Tang dynasties, there was a saying of 'Tuguhun Road', but it was actually a road. Zhu Wu pointed to the south and said, "And now, there is a link with Weizhou, through Xining Prefecture, through Xihe Road, directly to Jincheng, this is the Qiangzhong Road Road." And there is another way, through Longzhou, connected with northern Sichuan, can go directly to Tubo, which is also the middle road of Qiang. These two are collectively known as Qingtang Road. ”

But he hesitated again: "It's just that whether or not to go to the ancient Western Regions, the villain doesn't know." ”

Li Kou smiled and said, "That's since ancient times?" ”

Not bad.

Li Kou nodded and smiled: "It should be from now on." ”

Zhu Wu was confused.

Though he was young, he was very knowledgeable in his words.

And it seems that the ambition is so great that Weizhou can't let him go?

What does he want to do?

Open up the ancient silk road and go through the Western Regions?

Zhu Wu was quite excited, but he was also a little skeptical.
