Chapter 711: Jujube Only Taken Away (Two in One)
"This levitating city is really big, but can it really levitate?"
The data of the Suspended City are too powerful, the city wall alone is almost forty meters high, higher than a thirteen-story building, and the highest ladder for the siege of the city cannot be built at present.
You can't climb the top of the city even if you build it.
It's all hard granite.
Of course, these magnificent and majestic city walls are not worth mentioning under the function of levitation.
Xiao Wu replied affirmatively: "Of course, master, if you can't levitate, how can you call it a suspended city, the master can control the lifting and moving of the city with his mind, and it is feasible for him to be suspended in mid-air or float and move in mid-air." ”
It can really be suspended, and if it is released, it must not scare the whole world.
Be cautious in the use of the Suspended City.
It's no better than dead things like the island and the Danquent Bridge.
However, Xu Ding soon remembered another question and hurriedly asked: "Xiao Wu, if this city is rooted on the ground or suspended in mid-air all year round, how does its water source come from?" ”
Water is one of the essential elements for human survival and the foundation of all living things.
The lack of water, the myth of beauty is just a monologue.
Xiao Wu seemed to know that Xu Ding would ask like this, and said with a smile: "Master, there is a water circulation system in the suspended city, whether it is in the air or on the ground, there will be a special system for absorption and transformation, which will not deplete the water source in the city, of course, the people living in the city cannot squander and waste water resources at will, and if it exceeds the standard, it will also trigger the water circulation system." ”
Hearing this, Xu Dingran nodded, and also smiled: "You still haven't said a little, it's more important not to pollute the water sources in the city, and it's best not to go to these polluting factories or anything." ”
"It's good that the master understands!" Xiao Wu asked, "Then master, do you want to use the Suspension City now?" ”
"No, let's store it like a crossing door, and when the time comes, I'll get it out." Xu Ding shook his head and refused.
Whether it's a suspended city or a passing gate, it's all good things, but it's not suitable to take it out and use it for the time being.
Two treasures, can only be put in the old nest first.
The armies of the Romans were all transferred to fight against the army of the Emperor of Anxi, and the Romans never dreamed that the rebel army of Alexandria* Qin, who had been chased and ran away by them, would turn a corner and come back.
Entering Armenia from the east was also supported by the Sabbatarians.
Eastern Armenia was a puppet government of the Sabbatarians, and it was very easy to enter Western Armenia by borrowing from them.
Now don't say that the Eleventh Army did not return to Armenia, even the Armenian Dependent Army did not return.
The eastern part of the area was extremely empty, and the rebel army successfully entered it, and then it was like a bamboo, and more than ten cities were conquered.
Hit directly into the northern mountains of Armenia, the Lesser Caucasus Mountains.
"Gather the supplies, and take with me all the necessary supplies and the people and livestock of all the places you pass, and leave nothing to the Kingdom of Armenia and the Romans."
The farther north he went, the mountains were higher and the climate was colder, and Xu Ding believed that the Romans would not dare to chase after him.
So what the rebels really have to face next is actually the special climate here.
The North Caucasus has a temperate continental climate, the temperature can drop to -30 °C in winter, and as high as 20 °C ~ 25 °C in summer, and the annual precipitation is neither more nor less.
Transcaucasia has a subtropical climate, with more precipitation in the west than in the east, and abundant precipitation.
The entire Greater and Lesser Caucasus region is extremely high in altitude and belongs to the plateau zone, and the further north you go in the Greater Caucasus Mountains, the lower the temperature.
Therefore, Xu Ding did not intend to enter the Greater Caucasus Mountains in this season, but stopped in the gentle area of the Lesser Caucasus, occupied a castle with an excellent geographical location, developed it into a city, and immediately started construction.
The infantry defended the city, and the cavalry was all released to train and fight guerrillas with Armenia to confuse the enemy, and at the same time collect all the necessary supplies and population.
Everything is on the right track and developing in an orderly manner, Xu Ding continues to live his comfortable light life with Ajman in his arms, admiring the infinite scenery of the Little Caucasus Mountains.
But life is like this, there will always be times when it disturbs people's dreams.
Twelve suddenly reported to Xu Ding: "The master has something that you need to deal with personally, and there is nothing I can do!" ”
"Twelve, don't worry, what's the matter, let's talk about it first." Xu Ding stabilized the twelve, and the twelve could only simply give the command, and he couldn't effectively complete many problems that needed to be dealt with comprehensively on multiple lines.
Twelve Dao: "Master, your subordinate Zao Yi was only plundered, and I sent all your troops to find him, and now your subordinates Guo Jia, Mao Jue, Xi Zhong and others are anxious, I think you have to go out of this matter." ”
"What dates were taken away?" Xu Ding was shocked, Zao Yi is his old man, he has followed him since he walked out of Xujiazhai, and he has been busy with the agricultural development plan for so many years along the way.
He is one of the most important talents under him, and his weight is no less than that of any civil and military.
Improving crops, increasing production and income, and conducting biological research, it can be said that he is now the most authoritative person in the Han Dynasty, and he has long been unable to guide him.
This is equivalent to the importance of Old Man Yuan to China in later generations.
If I remember correctly, there has been a new breakthrough in grain and wheat today, is it ......
Xu Ding thought of a terrible possibility, and hurriedly asked: "Where was he plundered, didn't I send soldiers to protect him at all times?" ”
"Master, the jujube was only plundered in Pingzhou, and he originally went to the experimental field in Pingzhou to collect Kancha...... Then the soldiers and the people of the heavens and the earth were all killed...... "Twelve then recounted the information on the report of Xu Ding's subordinates one by one.
After hearing this, Xu Ding showed a clear expression, this time it was really premeditated, and it was a premeditated thing a long time ago, and the other party was able to even detect the net, which shows that a lot of effort has been put in.
And the pick is also very professional.
Weiyuan Island is estimated to be too tight, ordinary people can't go up at all, and it is impossible to gather people on a large scale.
Qingzhou is also strictly controlled, there are too many troops, and it is not easy to leave after success, because each pass must have a school captain's army, and the county soldiers, county soldiers, and militia are guarded, and there are many checkpoints, and it is not easy to get out.
And Pingzhou is different, it seems to be the rear of Xu Ding's forces, a peaceful place.
In addition, the garrison is small, the population of each county is also small, the mountains are dense, and the information is still relatively closed, so it is easy for everyone to ignore here.
So it's the easiest place to move, and it's also the easiest to hide and escape.
No wonder Guo Jia and the others are in a hurry, Twelve really can't deal with such a headache.
Without thinking too much, Xu Ding said: "The matter here will be handed over to you, do as I say, develop well, don't have a head-on battle with the Roman army and Armenia, try to urge Meng Yu, use cavalry to attack Armenia, bite their flesh to replenish our base, and wait for the spring of the next year, we can send foot soldiers to the north to explore and develop."
First of all, consolidate the Caucasus, and try to completely transform and develop this place into a fertile soil and a base for the development of our army.
Soros should not let him sit idle, he has nothing to do with it, he can study the construction of ships, and explore the situation in the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea to the east and west. ”
Twelve said: "Rest assured master, I will definitely complete your task, although I may not have a smart mind like you, but I will not mess around, I will not let the rebel army have turmoil, I will pay attention to it, and I will not let the enemy mix in and plunder the important people here." ”
Listening to the twelve with a package ticket, Xu Ding was also relieved, Twelve will also learn and progress, knowing that the matter of Zaoyi cannot happen for the second time in the West. After taking control, Xu Ding immediately returned to Weiyuan Island.
And immediately let Hachi go online.
Circle of friends plugged in, see if Zao Yi left him any clues.
As soon as Xiao Ba went online, Xu Ding immediately asked it to look through the information.
"Who are these people, what are they trying to do, to take me away?"
"Although I was blindfolded, I could feel that I was still in Pingzhou and had not left far away......"
"They have already made up their minds, there are so many supplies here, everything is ready for winter, even a coal stove, it should be on a mountain......
Looking at the circle of friends of the jujube pot, although Xu Ding still couldn't get a specific location, one thing is certain.
Zao Yi is still in Pingzhou and has not been taken out of his jurisdiction, so his original guess is correct.
And the other party should be hiding in a cave and stockpiling a lot of materials for the winter, perhaps because he wants to wait until next year's limelight is over, and he is taking the dates away.
It's really calculating.
No change should be changed.
But who has such a big hand, and he only specializes in plundering dates.
The value of jujube is agriculture, who has such a far-sighted vision and courage.
"There are not many goals, Lao Cao has courage and vision, but he won't do such a thing, and he doesn't have the energy to do it now!
Liu Bei is congenitally deficient, and agriculture under his rule is not right, and most of the money and energy are used to develop armaments, expand the army, and deceive talents!
Gongsun Zhan doesn't have this mind, Yuan Shu will only use brute methods, if he would probably kill Zaoyi directly instead of snatching it back.
Yuan Shao? Sun Jian? or Liu Biao, there are certain possibilities, but the probability is too small.
It's confusing, but Yuan Shao's suspicion seems to be the greatest. Xu Ding rubbed his temples, this question still has no eyebrows, and it is not easy to solve.
Soon Guo Jia came in with a step of papers.
"My lord, I think my guess is right, the enemy must not have left Lelang County after plundering Zinong, I went to check these days, although the other party released three smoke bombs, one is to go north to Liaodong, one is to go south to sea by boat, and one is to go east to Andong County.
These interferences are so obvious that it is estimated that there will be further news in a few days, and these people can be caught, but it is possible that they have no horizontal connection with the gang that actually kidnapped Zinong. ”
Xu Ding asked, "That's not going northeast!" ”
This is not a question sentence, so Guo Jia also shook his head: "Impossible, to go to the northeast is to enter Han'an County, although there is also a coast in the north of Han'an County that can be taken by water, but in addition to our military fleet, there is no civilian merchant shipping route, now this season, the north is frozen badly, there is no perennial experience, it will be very difficult to go south around the coast, and it will also be intercepted by our navy, which is redundant." ”
"What if they enter Han'an County and don't leave, like find a cave to hide." Xu Ding's gaze became deep and deep, and he continued:
"The four counties of Pingzhou, Han'an County are the most difficult to walk, and the number of people has always been the smallest, the bandits plundered Zinong is the most difficult to be found, and it is the first to enter winter here, if it snows a little after a while, it is estimated that you can't find it."
"This ...... It seems to be! Guo Jia was inadvertently mentioned by Xu Ding, and he was also a little stunned.
He's a smart guy and he's better at analyzing sensitive information.
I feel more and more that Xu Ding's words are very reasonable.
If the bandits really plundered the jujube to Han'an County and hid it nearby, it would be really difficult to find out.
Xu Ding got up and said: "You go and do other things first, I think there is a way to save Zinong, don't be distracted, pay attention to Jizhou and Youzhou, and the soldiers and horses of our army have also been mobilized." ”
"It's the lord," Guo Jia was a little suspicious and didn't know what good way Xu Ding thought of to save Zaoyi, but since Xu Ding spoke, most of the time there was no problem.
So he reported the recent transfer of troops and horses.
In general, the troops of Liaodong and Liaoxi counties in Youzhou did not change, and the troops of Xuzhou, Taizhou and Qingzhou moved north, concentrated on the border of Jizhou.
The naval warships were also transferred to the Bohai Sea, and even the engineering team stopped aiding Xuzhou and moved north.
These are all planned things, Xu Ding nodded slightly, and then Guo Jia went down.
Xu Ding just patted his ass. and then head to the north of Weiyuan Island.
There is a large area of independent primeval forest in the north, which is painted for Wangcai.
When Fa Zheng was transferred back last time, Xu Ding asked Fa Zheng to bring back Wangcai with him.
After all, except for Xu Ding's communication with Wangcai, ordinary people can't command Wangcai.
Xu Ding naturally won't let it stay in the Northeast.
When he came to this mountain, Xu Ding howled, Wangcai heard Xu Ding's voice, and then returned a tiger roar on the mountain, and then ran down the mountain.
At this time, Wangcai was quite large because of his evolved body, like a medium-sized horse, especially the long exposed tiger teeth, which were hideous and cold.
However, after seeing Xu Ding, Wangcai immediately turned into a cute pet, lying on the ground, humming at the bottom, and then rubbing Xu Ding with his head.
"Wangcai, you have worked hard in the Northeast all these years, you are now the king of kings, be serious, get up for me, and we will do something serious." Gently patting Wangcai's long-haired head, Xu Ding sat directly on Wangcai's back.
Wangcai shook his head, then stood up, habitually turned around twice, and then showed his front teeth at Xu Ding's mount claw Huang Feidian, indicating that he was the first pet under the master.
However, Huang Feidian was also very horsey, snoring twice to show disdain, and then bit down a wine bottle hanging on the flank of the horse's back, pulled the stopper himself, and drank it beautifully.
After drinking, I went down the mountain directly to the east, and I didn't even look at Wangcai, as if to say stupid, I don't have to work to drink wine, what about you.
Wangcai comprehended the contempt of Huang Feidian, and couldn't help but scream aggrievedly, turned his head, and stretched out his tongue to lick Xu Ding.
Xu Ding slapped his mouth angrily and said, "Don't make trouble, don't drink and pretend to be a ......."
