Looking at the opposite bank from the mouth of the Weiruchuan River, the woods are sparse, the distant mountains are almost flush with the quicksand, in a monotonous harmony, and because of the cutting of the Yellow River on the riverbank, it seems to be twisted and curved, and there are thousands of changes, the dragon-like Yellow River in this section of the river, but it is abnormally docile, there is almost no surge, but it goes north calmly and evenly, only the half of the dead wood that can be seen by chance in the river is washed by the river at a very fast speed, Gao Yue, Puwang and Ju Wenzhen and others can feel the speed of the river rushing, and they can't help but be dizzy.

At this time, King Pu was very angry, grabbed the reins of the roaring war horse, and immediately took a poem:

"Sunburst Jingo,

Plug the clouds and chase the yellow umbrella.

Crossing the river,

The six armies are all surnamed! ”

Originally, Gao Yue was ready to make peace, but when he heard this poem by King Pu, cold sweat almost flowed down, and at this time, the eyes of Ju Wenzhen next to him suddenly became fierce.

This yellow umbrella, also known as the Yellow Luo umbrella or canopy, and the six armies refer to the system of the six armies of the Son of Heaven.

Fortunately, Gao Yue was clever, so he quickly sighed and said: "What King Pu thinks in this poem should be the scene of the Holy Lord parading here in the future when the mountains and rivers are restored. ”

At this moment, King Pu also came to his senses, hurriedly got off the donkey, and said to Gao Yue, "Yes, Xiao Wang immediately transcribed this poem on hemp paper and sent it to His Majesty Dongnei." ”

Until then, it was barely regarded as prevaricating Ju Wenzhen.

Gao Yue hurriedly diverted the topic and invited Ju Wenzhen to inspect the camp repair of Feng'an City and the shipbuilding by the water.

This time, Feng'an City was added at the mouth of the river, and the 3,000 Shensan troops of Jingyuan were mobilized, expressing that the Tang family restored most of the state after recovering most of the state, and restored the water transportation from Jingyuan to Lingwu, and recombined the three square towns of Shuofang, Jingyuan, and Fenglong into a period painting integrating attack and defense; But Gao Yue's ambition does not stop there, he pointed to the mighty Yellow River and said to Ju Wenzhen, "The big river to Lingwu, is a big song, across Fengzhou, Shengzhou and other three surrendered cities, and then a big song, until the east of the river is away from the stone, two thousand miles can be boated, after the completion of Feng'an City, three years can be built here 300 ships, 500 salt ships, for transporting grain, trade, not only can revitalize Shuofang, but also regain control of the three surrendered cities, so within the big river, I Tang Jiangshan is stable. ”

By the river, Master Ming Xuan wore a simple monk's robe, squatted on the sand, and several disciples, old carpenters and old boatmen next to each other, and used branches to draw the regulations of the ship, "Shipbuilding is a thousand Hu load, can be seven zhang long, one and a half zhang deep, one zhang wide, the hull gangway is made of catalpa wood, nan wood, the beam is made of acacia wood, mixed with tung oil, linen cloth is stacked, can be waterproof and infiltrated; The side side is also opened to open the discharge port, one is convenient for cargo loading and unloading, and the other is convenient for supporting the boat when there is no wind. Because of the single waterway to Lingwu City, the bow of the ship is set up with a winch block, and the stern is set up with a tow (rudder), the ship has two masts, a mast with bamboo for the sail, a mast with cloth for the sail, the oblique wind with the former, the positive wind with the latter, ten thousand ships for a program, now build twenty programs that are two hundred, the river every year from March, to November are seaworthy......"

One of the children next to him was busy taking notes, while the other was drawing on the hemp paper supported by the scaffold.

When Gao Yue and others arrived, Wang Shao, Wan Qian and other officials who supervised the construction of the city and the construction of ships stepped forward one after another.

When Master Ming Xuan saw Gao Yue, he also got up and smiled happily, and then clasped his palms together to salute.

Gao Yue nodded and asked Wang Shao, "When will the military city be completed?" ”

Wang Shao replied: "Three thousand Shence children, with General Zhu Zhongliang as the governor, within a month." ”

"What about the ships?"

"Before June, the eight outlines can be made, and by September, the twenty outlines can be built, and this year 200,000 stone grain can be transported from Lingwu City and Liang, plus 30,000 stone of salt." Wan Qian replied.

"Good." Then Gao Yue pointed with the tip of his whip at the boiling shipyard, where the craftsmen, soldiers, and even criminals who worked hard to plan, saw, and knead hemp rope, "It is not easy to build a ship, and these people must eat enough, regardless of their status, and they will be rewarded with clothes, wine, meat, pickles, and money during festivals. ”

Wang Shao and Wan Qian hurriedly said that the ambassador Yingtian was relieved, and then Wang Shao said that the water journey from Feng'an to Lingwu was about 700 miles and could be reached in five days, and that five water posts could be set up along the coast, each with 140 sailors, 30 pavilions, 1 Fengwei, 10 post boats, 5 cattle, 60 sheep, and 5 camels.

"Okay, what Wang Desu said is very right!" Gao Yue agreed, and said that the construction of the water post and the recruitment of personnel would be handed over to the transfer patrol institute here after the Feng'an Military City was completed.

The inspection at the mouth of the Feng'an River made Gao Yue very satisfied, and just before he, Ju Wenzhen and King Pu were about to return to the town, Wang Shao told him a key piece of information:

Between Feng'an City and Destroying Sand Castle and Liupan City, there are Killing Niu Ling and Tiandu Mountain, on the west side of the mountain range, until the boundary of Huizhou, it seems that the little kings of Xifan Rangshatuo and Tuyuhun, where they graze, build cities and cut trees, and dig the soil, have found traces of their activities on the side of the mountains and forests several times.

Gao Yue's brows moved.

Ju Wenzhen said, will this Shatuo and Tuyuhun pose a threat to the Shence Zhujun City and Mafang north of Yuanzhou? Need to requisition, if so? I immediately sent a letter to the imperial court, and asked Tan Zhizhong, the supervisor of the right battalion of Shence, to cover the printing and printing of troops.

"Wait." Gao Yue raised his hand, "Whether it's Shatuo or Tuyuhun, shouldn't the little kings of these two clans stay in the land of Liangzhou in Hexi, why did they appear in Huizhou, is it the group that burned and fled after the failure of the previous siege and destruction of the sand castle and the Baicao Military City?" ”

In the face of Gao Yue's question, Wang Shao and Wan Qian groaned, and then said that there were originally Nanshan Dangqiang around Tiandu Mountain, since they were driven away by Gao Dayin, the entire Tiandu Mountain to the Killing Cow Ridge, there is very little farming and animal husbandry, this group of Shatuo and Tuyuhun seems to be very miserable, from time to time there are scattered people running to Feng'an City, to exchange cattle and horses for food and salt in the hands of the Shence soldiers.

"And what are they going to say?"

"They said that in the previous winter, there was several feet of snow on Tiandu Mountain, and many of their horses and livestock froze to death, so they couldn't survive, and they were willing to exchange the rest for food, clothes, and salt."

Hearing this, Gao Yue laughed, and he keenly pointed out in front of everyone: "Xifan, a country of Diyi, is purely to coerce Dangqiang, Shatuo, Tuyuhun and other little kings with violence, not only to gather their cattle and horses, but also to drive them forward when fighting, and after losing the war, they will be thrown at the junction of the original meeting to be destroyed, presumably this group of Shatuo and Tuyuhun people, and now their hearts are also full of resentment towards Xifan - it just so happens that after the battle of Huating, the people of Tibet said that I Gao Yisong was slaughtered, and immediately I Gao Yisong wanted to attack the heart and give benevolence and righteousness, The vassal system of Western Tibet! ”
