Chapter Seventy-Eight: Draw a circle on the map
"Lord Wang, do you want to report to the country of Qiuzi?"
Mo Shuyu led a group of soldiers for three days, and finally arrived near Qiuzi Country.
Mo Shuyu stood on the sand dunes and looked at the Qiuzi Kingdom in the distance, as if he was thinking about something.
Zhang Dabiao stood behind Mo Shuyu and asked, although Li Ke said that Mo Shuyu died on the way back to the south. But now that Mo Shuyu has led nearly a thousand soldiers to the vicinity of Qiuzi, I'm afraid that the news can't be hidden, and when he arrives in China, he has to say something.
"Nope! Don't enter the turtles! ”
Mo Shuyu looked at the oasis where Qiuzi City was located, like a pearl in the desert. Pointing to a small oasis not far from Guizi.
"Let's go there."
Mo Shuyu had already thought about it, he had already seen the soldiers of the Xuanjia Army take off the iconic black heavy armor on their bodies, just to hide their eyes, how could he go to Qiuzi to expose his whereabouts now?
"What are you doing there? They can't feed us. ”
Laifu was confused, and he didn't enter a city, why did he run to a small oasis dozens of miles away?
"Stupid! Now that the Tang Dynasty has rumored that I am dead, won't I be exposed if I go to Qiuzi? ”
Mo Shuyu hated that iron could not be made of steel, and shook off Laifu with a shiver.
"Lord Wang? You meet merchants along the way and say they need lime and other things, don't you? ”
Su Dingfang thought about it, Mo Shuyu met the businessman along the way and said what he needed, and then contacted the oasis that Mo Shuyu said he was going to at this time.
I opened the map and saw that the small oasis was right in the middle of Qiuzi Gaochang and other countries, and if it was in a rich place, it would be a place where soldiers would fight.
But in this sparsely populated Western Regions, even Qiuzi, as a big country, only has more than 20,000 troops, how can any country send troops to this oasis?
"That's right, I'm going to build a city here!"
Mo Shuyu pointed to the map, picked up his homemade charcoal and drew a large circle.
"Lord Wang, I'm afraid it will cost a lot to build a city here, we can't afford it."
Luo Tong glanced at the circle drawn by Mo Shuyu, which also occupied a lot of space on this map purchased at a high price from merchants in the Western Regions, and it was almost worth a state city in the Tang Dynasty.
"No, no, no, someone paid us. We just need to take the land and have the ability to protect them. ”
Mo Shuyu didn't mention how cool it was at this time, he finally understood the pleasure of Chairman Deng's big hand and a small fishing village turned into an international metropolis.
Although it does not have the abundant capital of Chairman Deng, it does not have such a good geographical location. But now there are countless merchants of the Tang Dynasty who go to the Western Regions to make profits, as long as they have a way to make money, there must be countless businessmen who come for profit.
As long as there are merchants, Mo Shuyu has countless ways to let merchants stay. With merchants, there was money, and cities were built.
The Western Regions are rich in gems, and other materials are scarce, Mo Shuyu plans to build an economic city in the Western Regions like the Demon Capital of the later generations, so that merchants from all over the world can come here.
"This, I'm afraid that with less than a thousand of us alone, we can't defend against the countries of the Western Regions, and there are more than 20,000 soldiers and horses in this turtle alone."
Zhang Dabiao didn't speak after Mo Shuyu said a few words, and listened carefully to Mo Shuyu telling everyone about his plan.
"Yes, Da Biao, you have finally enlightened, indeed, it is difficult to gain a foothold here with less than a thousand of us alone. But we can pull the turtle into the water! ”
Mo Shuyu had already thought about it, as a big country in the Western Regions, why didn't he spend money to buy off their high-level and let Qiuzi be his backing?
"Forget it, we are rough people, we don't understand this, what does the prince want to do, we obey!"
Zhang Dabiao thought about it, felt that what Mo Shuyu said seemed to be reasonable, and couldn't find a reason to refute it, so he said in his heart that he was really not a product who used his brain. The big fan-like hand slapped the door of his head, and he didn't bother to think about it.
"Let's go! While it's still early, hurry up and go to the little oasis! ”
"Oh, the last general is commanded!" Not to mention Zhang Dabiao, even Luo Tong and Su Dingfang didn't understand what Mo Shuyu meant, but the duty of a soldier is obedience, so he can only turn around and set off as a whole army.
Only Yuan Tiangang was left standing behind Mo Shuyu with a smile and not speaking.
"Can Daoist Yuan know whether Sanfeng's trip this time is auspicious or evil?"
Mo Shuyu didn't know what Yuan Tiangang wanted at this time, but I had to say that Yuan Tiangang helped him a lot this time.
"Don't forget it, the prince is a crape myrtle saint, with the help of immortals, he can turn evil into good fortune."
Mo Shuyu didn't know whether Yuan Tiangang was a sycophant or the truth, but usually Yuan Tiangang didn't speak, he was always drinking silently alone, if you didn't ask him, he would basically be like a transparent person.
"Don't you believe it?"
"Half-convinced, I don't know myself, how do you know that I am a Ziwei Sage?"
"If you believe it, you will have it, and if you don't believe it, you will have nothing." Yuan Tiangang didn't seem to want to deal with Mo Shuyu, and always said a few words concisely.
"Why is the Taoist always silent?"
"It's all a heavenly opportunity, and it's a long life."
Yuan Tiangang's answer made Mo Shuyu embarrassed for a while, the god stick is always the god stick, no matter what, he is pretending to be profound.
Since Yuan Tiangang didn't want to say more, Mo Shuyu didn't bother to talk to him. As a prince, why should he use his hot face to stick to other people's cold butts?
One of the reasons why Yuan Tiangang was kept by his side was that Yuan Tiangang could tell fortunes, not to mention whether it was accurate or not, but at least his face was very accurate in later generations. Even in the Journey to the West, Wei Zhengmeng killed the Dragon King, and the Dragon King of Weishui didn't know when it would rain, but Yuan Tiangang knew that the Dragon King was beheaded in anger.
Another is Yuan Tiangang's force, according to Liu Donglou, Yuan Tiangang's strength is unfathomable, and even he is not his opponent. Since Yuan Tiangang has no malicious intent, it is always good to keep a master by his side.
"Hey, where's the East Building?"
Speaking of Liu Donglou, Mo Shuyu seems to have not seen anyone else for half a day.
"Lord Wang, Leader Liu has gone to Qiuzi."
An internal guard who had been guarding behind Mo Shuyu said loudly, Liu Donglou was always elusive, and he didn't say a word to Mo Shuyu every time he went out.
"Gone to Qiuzi?"
Mo Shuyu wondered, didn't he just say that he couldn't enter the turtle? Why did Liu Donglou go again?
"Well, Chief Liu went to Qiuzi before we even arrived here."
The internal guard seemed to be afraid that Mo Shuyu would misunderstand Liu Donglou, so he hurriedly explained.
"What are you doing in the East Building?"
"There is a branch of our internal guard in Qiuzi."
In the face of Mo Shuyu's question, Neiwei answered without concealment.
"There are internal guards in Guizi?" Mo Shuyu thought secretly, he seemed to underestimate the internal guard, and he had always thought that the internal guard was just a guard team of Emperor Yang of Sui, just the few people around Li Ke. I didn't expect that even Qiuzi had a branch of internal guards, and I am afraid that the internal guards are much bigger than Mo Shuyu thought.
