Chapter 301: Greed for Perfection

In the biography of Le Yilie, it is recorded in the historical records: "The planting of thistle mounds is planted in Wenhuang. ”

It means that the plants on the Yanguo Mountain are planted with bamboo produced by Wenshui of Qi State, and bamboo can still grow in the northern region at the end of the Warring States Period, indicating that the climate at the end of the Warring States Period still belongs to the R zone climate, although Liaodong is colder, but the temperature will not be too low.

Therefore, more than 2,000 years ago, the summer in the Northeast was still very hot, but because it is in the primeval forest area, the air humidity is relatively high, so it is cooler.

However, this high humidity and high temperature can easily cause wetland areas, so the formation of wetlands and swampy landforms in the prehistoric Northeast region has been created.

In this landform, morning fog is the most common climatic phenomenon, especially in summer, the morning fog will continue until the sun, and then gradually disperse, which also causes the living habits of the ancient people in Northeast China generally start after nine o'clock in the morning.

The Buyeo scouts who were in charge of reconnoitering the movements of the Lone Bamboo Army had already taken a bath in the morning fog and morning dew, and the dense fog with a visibility of no more than twenty meters directly obscured their vision, and once it was covered, it was several hours.

When the sun dispelled the forest fog, the first Buyeo scout who woke up from a nap discovered something important, the Xuanniao flag that was hanging high yesterday disappeared!

"Gone? What do you mean? Mu Shuli, the prince of Buyeo, put on a set of armor made of hemp armor and bronze armor while waiting for the maid, and frowned and asked after hearing the scout's report.

"Probably afraid of the majesty of the army, he fled overnight." King Wuqing, who rushed to hear the news, said with a smile.

Mu Shuli frowned and glanced at the Wuqing King, grinning and said, "Since this is the case, then trouble the Wuqing King to run again to see if the Lone Bamboo Man has run away." ”

King Wuqing's face changed.

"I will send the front army to escort the King of Wuqing." Mu Shuli continued.

King Wuqing hesitated for a moment, saluted and said with a smile: "The minister is willing to share the worries for His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Watching King Wuqing leave, Mu Shuli ordered his generals to put the whole army on alert and prepare to deal with the unexpected.

Mu Shuli was able to sit on the throne of the crown prince, not because of blood or matrilineal power, but completely relying on personal talent, the prince system of the Buyeo State is the inheritance of the selection system of the Five Emperors in ancient times, because the Buyeo State itself is composed of many ethnic groups such as the Zhan people, the Zhu people, the Lou people, the Wo Fu, and a small number of Donghu and Central Plains refugees.

It is different from the NN of Su Shen and Donghu, which is dominated by a single ethnic group.

Therefore, the stage they are in is somewhat similar to the tribal federation in ancient times, in order to stabilize the balance of various ethnic groups, so in the rules for selecting the prince, it is to select the most capable person in the country as the prince.

And the ability recognized by Buyeo is to fight wars.

Although the wars of the Buyeo Kingdom were more like the annexation wars of villages than those of the Central Plains, with the annexation and expansion of the Nation from generation to generation, the alliance between the Buyeo State and the Sushen and Donghu also had several large-scale battles.

Although they all ended in the defeat of Buyeo Sushen, Mu Shuli is undoubtedly a general of a hundred battles in Buyeo.

Therefore, he did not believe that an army with advanced armaments and a large number of vital forces would choose to retreat because of a meeting, and he felt that there must be other problems in it.

The Buyeo army had just lit a fire and started eating, and before it was completely reorganized, the scouts came to report again.

However, the news brought back this time made Mu Shuli more and more uneasy.

"The Guzhu army left behind all the Lou people in Chang County before, as well as a large amount of material equipment, and tens of thousands of livestock fled to the west." The scout had an irrepressible excitement on his face, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the blade of the lone bamboo is like clay, the armor is extremely strong, and it looks like divine gold in the sun!" ”

Hearing this, King Lou, King Xuansu, and King Lelang all showed different colors on their faces, only Mu Shuli had a grim expression.

"The Lone Bamboo Army has fled?" King Lou put down the bronze vessel in his hand, asked with indignation on his face, and then arched his hand to Mu Shuli, "His Royal Highness the Prince, please allow me to lead someone to chase and kill to avenge the humiliation of the clansmen!" ”

Before Mu Shuli could speak, the King of Xuansu next to him also stood up, with a look of hatred and hatred with King Lou, "This king is willing to help, the Lou clan and Xuansu have been allied for a hundred years, advancing and retreating together, the humiliation of the Lou clan is also the shame of my Xuansu, if I don't kill this group of earth fangs that came out of nowhere, it is difficult to show the prestige of Fuyu." ”

"Calm down, both of you." Mu Shuli frowned and stood up: "I always feel that something is abnormal. ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will wait a while, we will definitely drive out the Lone Bamboo people." King Lou and King Xuansu glanced at each other, and they didn't stop persuading Shuli to leave, and quickly walked out of the tent to mobilize the army.

Mu Shuli frowned, didn't stop it, and turned his head to look at King Lelang, who had a gray beard and a calm expression, "What does Uncle Wang think." ”

"Two brainless sparrow thieves, see the benefits and don't want to die, I don't know that rabbits also have the power to fight eagles, although the lonely bamboo has left his baggage and fled, but people are really afraid of us without taking it." King Lelang said with a smile, "And they think that they can take advantage of it by grabbing some materials first, but they don't know that they will be handed over to the treasury in the end, how can these two princes be able to monopolize such divine soldiers." ”

Mu Shuli smiled when he heard this: "Uncle Wang can see it clearly." ”

King Le Lang smiled and shook his head, "If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to take the throne in advance, he can't do without these two people." ”

Mu Shuli sighed lightly, "That's right, but this Wuqing King is a little interesting, why haven't you heard of this royal department before?" ”

"Wuqingbu, it used to be just a small tribe, because it had an old relationship with the Yan people Qin Kai, and it was named the king, saying that it was the marquis of my Fuyu country, but in fact, it was just a false title, but now that he is subordinate to His Royal Highness the Prince, he is also a chess piece with him." King Lelang said with a smile, "King Juli and King Hao have lived on the ancestral beach for a long time and are neighbors with Su Shen, and it has long been unclear where their hearts are. ”

"Please ask Uncle Wang for advice." Mu Shu's pupils shrank and asked respectfully.

Changxian is an area surrounded by mountains, surrounded by two mountains in the west and north, endless mountains and forests in the east, and a wetland in the south.

But again, before the city was planned to be repaired, it was also an easy place to attack and difficult to defend.

Except for the wetlands in the south, the other three sides are good places for Tibetan raids.

At this time, the Lone Bamboo Army was hiding in the mountains and forests to the west and north, and the only mountain road to the west was choked.

Wang Xu hid in the mountains and forests with the last army in the second half of last night, and then was harassed by mosquitoes in the forest until almost dawn before falling asleep, I don't know whether the air in the forest was too fresh or too tired, Wang Xu actually slept well, until he was woken up by the sound of the trumpet.

"Haven't you sent troops yet?" Wang Xu lifted the tent and asked at the drama outside.

"It's not that we sent troops, it's the Buyeo people who came in." Ji Kang said with a somewhat strange expression.

"Don't you think these people are a little too stupid?" When Wang Xu saw the dramatic expression, he knew what he was thinking.

Ji Gao nodded.

"Actually, we're a little too cunning." Wang Xu took a sip of mouthwash tea and stretched his waist, "A long time ago, war should have been like them, and the brave won when they met on a narrow road. ”

Ji Kang blinked, "I admit that the war should be above board, but they are not meeting on a narrow road, they are sending themselves to death, the gorge of the two mountains, they rashly send troops without any preparation, and it is inevitable to be ambushed." ”

"They didn't expect to be ambushed." Wang Xu chuckled and said, "In the eyes of these Buyeo people, throwing away their baggage equipment is a symbol of surrender and escape, and they don't know what it means to lure the enemy deeper." ”

"So they can't set foot in the Central Plains for the rest of their lives?" Ji Kang frowned.

"You should have seen the consequences of Donghu's footing in the Central Plains." Wang Xu smiled, "Su Shen and Fuyu together can barely be wiped out by Donghu, so the result is obvious, but in the same way, it is difficult for them to set foot in it, and it is difficult for the Central Plains to get involved." ”

"So, that's why the Great Emperor chose to be here?" Ji Kang blinked.

"Sort of, for me, this is a pure land." Wang Xu smiled, "Guzhu is not without the capital of chasing the Central Plains, but it is meaningless, just like Liaodong is meaningless for the Qin State." ”

"Why? Liaodong has a vast geography and abundant products. "The drama is a little incomprehensible" Just one Chang County has countless mines. ”

"For the king, the bigger the property, the territory, is not the better." Wang Xu smiled, "Only if you can buy property and territory in your hands can you have value, otherwise it is called a hidden danger." ”

Ji Kang frowned, "The more land there is, the more grain it can produce, and the people of Li can eat enough, so naturally there will be no problems." ”

"And then the need for power is also increased, you know, the greed of those in power, there is no end, the more land, the more property, the more greed." Wang Xu smiled, "And people are not satisfied when they are full." ”

The drama was stunned and looked dazed.

Wang Xu smiled meaningfully, "And in contrast, the king is not so greedy, but the existence of preventing this greed from spreading." ”

The drama looked more and more confused.

"It's okay not to understand, because you haven't tasted what it's like to be in power." Wang Xu said with a smile.

"Let's go, the horn is gone, and let's see how the battle goes." Wang Xu patted the shoulder of the drama.

Helping Wang Xu put on his armor, Ji Kang was still thinking about the question just now.

People are not greedy after all.
