Jiuding Villa, Gong Qianbai's study.

Liu Bingzhong gently pushed the door and entered, and came behind Gong Qianbai, who was drawing a map.

In the entire Jiuding Villa, in addition to the people in the Tianbang who can directly push the door like Liu Bingzhong, there are also Chu Liyan, Kang Xiaojian, A Feng, Chen Yuyan, A Bi, A Zhu, Big and Black, Youyu, Xiaocai Mother and Daughter, Li Wei Li Hu and others, except for Bailong.

Li Mi secretly gave strict orders to everyone, except for the white dragon; But these Gong Qianbai didn't know.

On the bookcase, a map of Henan Fu Road is present, with many areas densely marked on it, and a lot of small characters are written.

Putting away the pen and putting it on the pen stand, Gong Qianbai pointed to the map and said to Liu Bingzhong:

"Mr. built the capital a hundred years ago, and his attainments are superb, and it must be easy to build this Luoyang. There is a main city of Luoyang, four sub-cities, and four military cities, a total of nine cities; There are 12 light and dark passes such as Hangu Pass, Tongguan, Mengjindu, Tiger Prison Pass, Yique and so on, as well as 36 beacons and Tibetan soldiers' caves. I'll tell you more about ......."

Gong Qianbai pointed to the map and began to chatter, and it lasted for more than a quarter of an hour before it ended.

Liu Bingzhong smiled bitterly after hearing this: "Master, you think too highly of me, you didn't pay so much attention to the construction of the capital, you are simply going to build a steel castle!" I do my best, if there is something I don't understand, I hope the host can give guidance at any time! ”

"No problem!" Gong Qianbai grabbed Liu Bingzhong's arm and said, "It is difficult to build Luoyang City in two years, and even if there are enough manpower, I am afraid it will take a year, so don't worry!" ”

He looked up again and asked, "Is there any military news?" ”

"Yes!"

Liu Bingzhong said while drying and folding the map, "Yue Shuai and Xiang Shuai are interspersed with the people of the Ming Sect every day to plunder the Haoqiang, and most of the Haoqiang have gone bankrupt, causing dissatisfaction among many sects in the rivers and lakes, and they have begun to attack one after another. Our side is better, there is a master who tells them to go in and out together, to avoid being alone, and those sects dare not provoke; However, Mingjiao is bent on fighting with us for speed, and the troops are relatively scattered, and they are broken by the Jianghu people, and the losses are greater. ”

"Which sects have made the move?"

"Mainly Bodhi Temple, Salt Gang, Longhu Mountain, Maoshan Mountain, Shaolin, Wudang, Tongbai and other big factions, there are also some small sects involved!"

Gong Qianbai didn't think it was strange, these sects had more or less something to do with the local heroes, and now that the gold lord was almost gone, it was strange that they weren't afraid. He only cares about which sects have nothing to do with Mingjiao, and the names mentioned above have nothing to do with Mingjiao.

"Bodhi Temple!" Gong Qianbai couldn't help but smack his lips, "Back then, it was the Shaolin Temple that was the authentic Buddhism in the world, and the Bodhi Temple suddenly rose after the Tang Dynasty, and now it has become the only big temple that can compete with Tantra, and it is said that the Bodhi Temple has half a book of Ten Thousand Buddhas, I don't know if it's true or not!" ”

Liu Bingzhong said: "Since the world is spreading, even if there are discrepancies in it, it must not be groundless!" ”

"That's right!" Gong Qianbai looked at him seriously and said, "If I go to Luoyang in person, I won't be able to lose Luoyang with the strength of the North Hall alone, right?" ”

Liu Bingzhong said: "There are many people who have come in and are eyeing Jiuding Villa, and the Mingjiao side may turn their faces at any time now, after all, the face of the old owner of the palace is not absolutely reliable, so if the master goes out of Luoyang, once his whereabouts are leaked, there will definitely be a lot of trouble; And no matter whether they can help you or not, they will definitely find trouble in Luoyang! ”

Gong Qianbai stared out the window, looked at the eagle sparrow soaring in the sky in the distance, and said to Liu Bingzhong: "Now there are not a few people who know my true identity, we are already roasting on the shelf, Mingjiao and the imperial court are our biggest enemies, once they know that our goal is the whole world, they will no longer put up with us; They may not unite, but they will tacitly work together against us. We are always in danger and we must keep improving. This time, I must go out and train the formation mage, the planner, and the true meaning of Xiaoyao, and at the same time, you must also practice as soon as possible! Cultivation is the same as learning, like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat! ”

The true meaning of Xiaoyao is the evolved version of the Book of Heaven of the Xiaoyao True Sutra, which has transcended the level of "law" and touched the level of "Tao", and only a few people such as the owner have reached it throughout the ages.

"We have to hone, but Luoyang City must not have problems! Now I'm thinking about Luoyang more often just trying to find trouble with me, but I may not really like this place, otherwise why would they have gone earlier? So if you want to keep Luoyang, you have to make them realize that Luoyang City in the future is really valuable, and the idea of fighting Luoyang City now is stupid! I'll revise this map again in a while, and you ask the Ministry of Planning to release the news and deliberately leak the map, so that everyone from all walks of life knows that we are going to spend a lot of money to rebuild Luoyang City, and it will be completed in about three years, and it will be solid after completion! Let them be patient and wait for us in a year or two! ”

Gong Qianbai walked back to the table, took out a large piece of paper and scratched it again, which was slightly different from the one just now, but in essence, he deliberately avoided the possibility of breaking the formation from the outside world.

Liu Bingzhong put away the second map, compared it carefully, found the difference, and knew it in his heart, but asked another worry in his heart:

"The hosts! When the news of the reconstruction of Luoyang City spreads, what should I do if the court is suspicious? After all, you first asked for the title of King of Song, and now you want to rebuild Luoyang, I am afraid that this ambition cannot be hidden! ”

"It's okay!" Gong Qianbai obviously thought about this problem, "The imperial court is still counting on me to exterminate the Ming Sect, and now it has achieved initial results, eliminating the bandits on Henan Fu Road and Bianliang Road, and if they want to be embarrassed, I will have to wait for the Central Plains to calm down." But it will take a year or two for the Central Plains to be completely pacified, and then I will have to resist the army in Jiangnan, so unless one of them is willing to come out to fight, I will be safe! ”

Speaking of this, Gong Qianbai remembered something again: "That Timur is really a big trouble in my heart, and the person behind him, Bailong, has also found out, it is a Pujiang man named Wu Zhifang, very powerful." You let the East Hall investigate, control all the people of the Wu family, and let Wu Zhifang go back to the south! The rest of the Mongols are not to worry about! ”

"In addition, let me tell you that the safety of Henan Fu Road and Bianliang Road is fully entrusted to the North Temple, so that the North Hall does not have to meddle in other places first. Yue Shuai and Xiang Shuai, from west to east, filtered one side more, and drove those who were not obedient and difficult to catch to the north of the Yellow River! ”

After saying this, Gong Qianbai asked about the captives again.

"How many coolies are available now?"

"According to the news of the Ministry of Planning, five or six hundred thousand people have been arrested, and there are 500,000 newly recruited soldiers!"
