Chapter 369: Chessboard Villa
While Li Yi sighed, he also inevitably thought about whether history would change for one reason or another!
Will the historical conclusions written in black and white go in a different direction because of themselves, the people who have crossed over? If not, what role can you play?
After thinking about it, Li Yi couldn't come to a final conclusion. Li Yi only knows that in this world, no matter at any time, there are very few people who are lucky with shit, and no one can succeed casually, so they can only do their best and walk step by step.
After more than ten days of intense preparations, Lin Yi informed Li Yi of the layout of the Qipangu Villa. Due to the importance of the matter, under the condition that the date of the alliance may be determined at any time, in order to prepare for the various matters of the Qipangu Villa as soon as possible, Lin Yi personally coordinated and commanded, Xiao Hui, Sun Chengye, and Qiu Feng sat in the town to arrange, and mobilized hundreds of craftsmen and servants, as well as a team of 300 capable soldiers, to guard the various transportation arteries of the Qipangu Villa to prevent the infiltration of the spies of the Dayi Ning Kingdom.
Of course, the area of the Chessboard Valley is vast, and the number of these 300 garrison soldiers is far from enough, and the defense force is very weak. When the day of the alliance came, Li Yi would also mobilize all the elite cavalry of the Ningzhou battalion to effectively strengthen the defense work here.
In order to be foolproof, Li Yi decided to personally go to the Qipangu Villa to inspect the topography of this place, find out the loopholes in the defense and focus on strengthening it, and strive to be thorough and properly armed, so that the personal safety of Duan Siping and the chiefs of various tribes can be guaranteed.
Li Yi and Lin Yi took twenty or thirty personal soldiers such as Lian Jun, Le Meng, and Ling Feng, as well as Li Liang, who had not had time to walk around since he came to Yunnan, and let him enjoy the beautiful scenery of Yunnan by the way, so at his request, Li Yi also took him with him and rushed towards the chessboard valley together.
After galloping along the official road northeast of Ningzhou, it looked like it was only thirty miles, and it came to a valley. Originally, it was just a small road that extended into the valley, but now after overtime and overtime, the condition of the road has been significantly improved, and it can accommodate six horses at the same time.
This mountain road is surrounded by low-lying hills and no lofty mountains, but the scenery of the mountains is stunning due to its lush forests and mountains.
Following this wide mountain path, I turned a small hill sandwiched on both sides, and suddenly my eyes were opened, and as far as the eye could see, a large area of relatively flat gentle slopes rose in the valley one after another, and there were few obstacles except for the lush green trees and flowers.
Through the cracks in the trees, you can already see a gable rising on the top of the slope, and dozens of houses are faintly standing inside.
What's more gratifying is that there is a mirror-like small lake at the lowest part of the col, the length and width are only 100 meters, but the lake water is clear and waveless, clear to the end, under the cover of the morning light, the waves are sparkling, the color changes, giving people the feeling of dizzying. The surrounding environment is elegant and pleasant, in this hot summer, it is more clean and refreshing, so that people do not feel a trace of hot and boring summer.
Passing through this large gentle slope, the inner area of the valley is very large, and the surrounding area is even more green and beautiful, Li Yi decided to go to other parts of the valley first, so as to understand the surrounding terrain clearly.
Following a circular mountain road that surrounds the entire valley, the people gallop along the edge of the valley floor. Although these circular mountain roads are almost half as narrow as the mountain roads into the valley, the closer you get to the edge of the mountains, the more strange the scenery becomes.
Halfway through, Li Liang was completely attracted by the beautiful scenery in front of him, and he took his painting clips and paper, pen and ink, and asked to stay here for a while in order to paint this beautiful scenery.
Of course, Li Yi didn't have anything to say, he originally came to enjoy the scenery and paint, and it was useless to follow him. In such a beautiful place in the world, there is just a place for him to use his skills. Li Yi ordered two soldiers who were familiar with the situation here to accompany him to look around, and wait until the afternoon to meet in the chessboard villa.
After going around the valley, I was a little relieved to find out that this was the only road that could lead to the chessboard villa in the valley. But the valley is surrounded by low hills, and it would be difficult to guard against an enemy attack over the hills.
You must know that such a large area of low hills not only can't stop the enemy's attack, but also has many points and wide areas, even if there is a team of thousands of people, it is impossible to effectively defend, which is what worries Li Yi the most.
By the time the group arrived at the gate of Qipan Villa, Xiao Hui, Qiu Feng, and Sun Chengye had already waited there with dozens of soldiers.
After a few words of greeting, Li Yi walked into the villa under their guidance.
As soon as he entered the mountain gate, Li Yi was immediately attracted by the two towering ancient cypresses on both sides of the door. These two tall ancient cypresses, with a diameter of more than two meters, require at least four people to hug them, and the trees are probably nearly a thousand years old.
Further inside, a stone slab road with a width of six meters and a length of about fifty or sixty meters extends to the front of the main hall, in front of which there is a huge oval pond surrounded by a hollow white jade railing, but in the middle is divided into two halves by an arched stone bridge on the road, each forming a circular pool.
On the left and right sides of the villa, there is a slightly narrower stone road to the side hall of the two compartments, and goes around to the back of the main hall. On both sides, there are endless rows of houses, and there are roughly thirty or forty of them, all of which are exquisite houses with carved beams and paintings.
Li Yi and everyone carefully browsed the layout and furnishings of the front yard, crossed the majestic main hall, and came to the backyard of the villa. The area of the backyard is more than twice as large as the front yard, in addition to the dozens of houses in the back, between the main hall and the back house, there is an open space the size of a football field, except for the two hexagonal pavilions on the side, there is a large enough open space to accommodate a cavalry team of more than 1,000 people galloping here.
Li Yi couldn't help nodding secretly, this place is the venue of the alliance, whether it is the number of houses or the layout of the space, it is very suitable as a place for a large number of people to gather, even if it is the thirty-seven tribes of Tonghai plus Baiman, the number of people from each family is counted as fifty, and nearly two thousand people are basically enough to stay, not to mention that for the sake of secrecy, it would be good for each family to have twenty or thirty people.
