Chapter 173 The World Cloth (Seeking Full Order)

The earth is constantly changing in the vicissitudes of life, most notably the coastline.

In the late glacial period 8000~5000 years ago, glaciers melted, the sea level rose on a global scale, and the coastline of Bohai Bay was about the same as the 4-meter contour (Dagu zero point). Since then, the climate has cooled, the sea has receded, and the coastline has gradually pushed eastward.

The swampy terrain of the ancient Northeast is because of this coastline change, the surrounding area of Qinhuangdao, including Beidaihe, is now only one-third the size of later generations, and the Bohai Bay area has only just been transformed for less than a few hundred years, so there are still a large number of swamps and inner lakes.

Therefore, when comparing the map, Wang Xu needs to make a reassessment.

"Fengnan District." Wang Xu compared the map on his phone, frowned and muttered.

Tu Tan glanced at the ancient 'artifact' in Wang Xu's hand, and quickly looked at his nose and nose.

"There's a lot of coal and peat here, but it's a pity that it's too close to Qi and Yan." Wang Xu shook his head with some regret: "The west is full of mountains and forests? ”

"The terrain is quite flat, except for some small mountain ranges, they are all mountains, but they are not as dense as the West Forest, the trees are not as thick as the West Forest and the East Forest, and there are relatively few wild beasts." Tu Tan said.

"How long will it take for the cavalry to advance?" Wang Xu frowned slightly.

"Three days at most, but I didn't see the cottage situation of the steep river bandits, so it was a bit risky to rush out the troops." Tu Tan is colored.

"More than 10,000 bandits are just that, and the priest is worried?" Wang Xu chuckled.

Tu Tan smiled embarrassedly, "It's not that the minister is timid, it's that the domestic soldiers are urgent, and there is no movement in Jizi and Su Shen so far, and there is no need to go to crusade." ”

"Think of it as a military training." Wang Xu waved his hand: "Do you know about the matter of Yan Kingdom?" ”

Tu Tan's breath stagnated, his hand shook, and the cup fell on the carpet, "What?" ”

"The latest battle report, General Wang Ben has entered Liaoyang City." Wang Xu handed him the battle report.

Tu Tan didn't open it either, frowning and nervously asking, "Donghu has withdrawn?" ”

"There is still a stalemate, but Donghu only has less than 200,000 troops, and the defeat is sooner or later, but the Qin army did not take the initiative to attack." Wang Xu shook his head and said.

"Did the troops leave the country?" Tu Tan's eyes flashed with fine light, pointing to the border of Yan Qi, if it weren't for the strange soldiers pressing the border, the Qin army should have broken Donghu long ago, and Donghu and Qi were united?

Wang Xu shook his head, "I don't know yet, but I guess that Qi will surrender." ”

"Impossible." Tu Tan blurted out and retorted, "The State of Qi has a Jixia School Palace, with an army of 600,000, and it is impossible to surrender easily, unless the King of Qi is dizzy." ”

"You know Qi Guo well?" Wang Xu raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Well, when the minister was a teenager, he studied in Qi State, although he did not enter the Jixia School Palace, but he was also like thunder, and there was no way to be violent, and half of the doctors in the Qi State court were from the children of the Xue Palace, so naturally they would not surrender easily." Tu Tan swore and said.

"None of this has much to do with us." Wang Xu glanced at Tu Tan and handed over the letter from Tu Shan's lady, "This is what Tu Shan's lady wants to bring to his brother." ”

Tu Tan's eyes narrowed, "The emperor wants the ministers to pick them up?" ”

"You don't want to?" Wang Xu raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"Yes, yes, yes." Tu Tan nodded hurriedly, his expression was a little out of control, and he got up and knelt on the ground, "Chen just didn't expect it." ”

"I didn't expect me to be so kind? Why in your heart am I the kind of person who will not be saved when he sees death? Wang Xu smiled dumbly.

Tu Tan's face was full of embarrassment, "After all, they are foreigners, what the Guzhu Kingdom needs most now is lurking, and I have always been worried that picking them up will cause trouble for everyone." ”

"What? Can't you trust your relatives and friends? Wang Xu narrowed his eyes slightly.

"To be honest, not all of them are relatives and friends who know the roots, most of them are some doormen and knights." Tu Tan scratched his head and said with a smile, "You also know that before I met you, Chen was a dog butcher, and he didn't have any interest, but he just liked to make friends, so he had a lot of friends." ”

"Righteousness slaughters more dogs." Wang Xu smiled.

"If you can't talk about righteousness, you just can't get used to seeing a lot of things." The more Tu Tan smiled, the more stupid his ordinary facial features looked a little silly, "Coincidentally, I can also meet a lot of such fellow practitioners, and then I know more and more people, and my involvement is becoming more and more extensive, there are fugitives from various countries, there are also nobles who destroy the country, and there are some peddlers and pawns, although they are all seemingly good people, but after all, they know people and faces, but they don't know their hearts. ”

"Looks like you've made a lot of friends." Wang Xu quipped, "Tell me how many people can there be?" ”

"There are so many friends of the minister, but those people have a lot of friends, we rangers, friends of friends are friends." Tu Tan sneered, "I used to be a dog butcher, it doesn't matter, but now ....."

"What's the matter, now that I'm an official, I can't look down on my former friends?" Wang Xu quipped.

"No, no, absolutely not." Tu Tan hurriedly explained, "A friend must be a friend, but once the position is different, there will always be some differences, and some are not so familiar, the minister is now the priest of the Lone Bamboo Country, and he can't ..... because of personal matters."

"Guzhu Country has always upheld a clear distinction between public and private." Wang Xu smiled, "But you did remind me of one thing, the people of the Central Plains may not easily adapt to our living conditions, but it doesn't matter, fortunately, there are many of us in the city, and we are also about to move into Chaoge, so let those Yan refugees and your friends live when they are vacated, and wait until the world is calm, and then see what they want." ”

Tu Tan was overjoyed when he heard this, and kowtowed to thank Wang Xu.

"Okay, get up, just in case, you work hard, let's go immediately, if Qin Qi is a regeneration variable, bring Tu Shan's brother as soon as possible, and let their mother and son feel at ease as soon as possible." Wang Xu said with a smile.

"The Emperor is merciful!" Tu Tan shouted.

"By the way, what about the refugees and barbarians?" Wang Xu suddenly asked.

"The minister left a company of troops to escort them back." Tu Tan said with a smile.

"Then you have 3,000 men left in your royal army?" Wang Xu frowned slightly, "In this way, you can bring the two thousand Hu cavalry that Murong exhausted before, and then let Li Qi's Ruomu army take over the royal army to escort them, so that your six thousand men and horses will enter the land together, which is safer." ”

"Thank you, Emperor." Tu Tan thanked him again, and said with some embarrassment: "That minister has the courage to ask Ruomu Jun to borrow five hundred war horses." ”

Wang Xu thought for a while, nodded, and wrote an order, "Go." ”

Tu Tan held the order, and was served by Mo Geng and others at the door, put on, washed, and dried the reglowing armor, and went to transfer the troops.

"The priest took away 6,000 troops at once, and the defense of the capital may be much weaker." Mo Geng said as he wiped the floor.

"It's okay, since the last two days, the people of Modu are going to move to Chaoge, and when the city is empty, there is no need to defend." Wang Xu smiled: "Did Tu Tan talk to you about his friends before?" ”

Mo Geng's movements were sluggish, "I talked about his deeds when he was a ranger a few times." ”

Wang Xu smiled, and once again focused on the map that Tu Tan brought back with various markers, this map will be divided into Guangyang County after Qin unifies the six countries, and here in the late Qin period more than ten years later, there will be a mystery-like figure named Zang Di, who is the king of Yan who was later divided by Xiang Yu.

This person was originally an old general of the Yan Kingdom, but after the Yan was destroyed, he did not know where to go, but when he rebelled against Qin at the end of Qin, he became a prince and king, and he enjoyed a good reputation in Yandi.

The reason why this person is more confused is that after Zang Di was named the queen of Yan by Xiang Yu, he surrendered to Liu Bang when Chu and Han were fighting, and later rebelled against Liu Bang, and his son took refuge in the Xiongnu, but his great-granddaughter became the queen of Emperor Jing of Han.

That is, he gave birth to the famous Wang Wan of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and there is also a great-grandson Tian Wei.

A person who is full of stains, or in the era of the old Liu family's retribution, the descendants of the Zang family have such an honor, it is indeed incredible.

I don't know why, Wang Xu always has a hunch that the leader of this steep river bandit, even if he is not Zang Di, should be related.

After all, in this chaotic environment, it must not be a simple person to be able to gather and feed tens of thousands of bandits.

Maybe it's the curiosity of the traverser who is at work, Wang Xu is really like going to see who the leader of this steep river bandit is.

So the day after Tu Tan and Li Qi left the city, Wang Xu called the scouts and asked him to bring a message to Li Qi, if he had the opportunity, he would go to investigate the details of this steep river bandit.

Wang Xu stood on the balcony, watching the fish surging in the misty Weiming Lake, and the dark tide waves brought by it reflected the restlessness in his heart.

When the first rays of sunlight shone on Wang Xu's somewhat stiff side face, casting shadows, he finally couldn't help but sigh lightly.

"The cloth of the world."
