Chapter 44: The Mystical Approach

Seeing that it was almost the end of September, the three groups of people and horses had no intention of leaving here and going back for the winter, and they were all collecting food all over the mountains, as if they wanted to take root here for the winter.

This scene made the people of Phoenix Castle hiding in the shadows worried, and they were really afraid that they would spend the winter by the lake.

In winter, the lake has always been the preserve of Fort Phoenix, where they often dig back and forth on the ice to catch fish, and are the most important source of food for them.

"Can't let them spend the winter by the lake anyway! Even if we don't go to the lake to dig ice and catch fish, they will; In this way, it is easy for them to spot the mountain passes of Migu! Curiosity will urge them to come and have a look. ”

Gongzi Wei Xing said a few words, and all the worries in everyone's hearts were said, and they all nodded silently.

"So what to do? It's better to kill them all, and there will be no more troubles! Xiahou Zhu proposed very directly.

"I think it's not bad, just kill it, don't worry about this and worry about that all day long!" Huyan Leopard also took the opportunity to shout.

Everyone else knew that the two of them were belligerent, had been depressed for a long time, and had long been impatient, but none of them echoed it, and they all automatically moved their eyes to Childe's side, waiting for Childe's opinion.

"Let's see in a few days, if they really want to spend the winter by the lake, we in Phoenix Fort must be prepared to fight a tough battle!"

Gongzi Wei Xing sighed a few times, he really didn't want to clash and fight with any enemy now, Phoenix Fort was in a stage of rapid growth;

Once the damage is severe, all the hard work will likely be in vain, and you will return to the original difficult times.

Hearing Childe's words, everyone has a backbone and knows what they should do!

Xiahou Zhu and Huyan Leopard looked particularly excited, as if they were about to step into the battlefield in the next moment.

"The matter here in Migu is very important, don't slack off on the Shibao side, especially collecting food for the winter, this year's population will be at least twice as large as in previous years, you must not ignore this problem, Uncle Da!" Gongzi Wei Xing asked very solemnly.

Cao Da nodded and promised: "Childe, you can rest assured!" In a few days, I will go back to Shibao and discuss it with Meng Ping and the others, and there will never be a famine in winter. ”

Hearing Uncle Da's reply, Gongzi Wei Xing was much relieved, most of the specific things in Phoenix Fort were handled by him and Uncle Zhongwei, and there were few mistakes.

、、、、、、

Five days later, Tang Zhongyi, who had been hiding in Haitou City to collect intelligence and supplies, came back!

This made Gongzi Wei Xing very happy, and hurried back to the stone castle.

Haitou City is the location of the Western Regions Changshi Mansion, located in the northwest of the Peacock Sea (now Lop Nur), Shanshan Kingdom has not changed its name to Loulan, before Loulan moved the capital, the capital was near Haitou City.

The Peacock Sea, because of its shape like a human ear, is known as the "ear of the earth" and is also known as the "sea of death".

In the east of the Tarim Basin, about 780 meters above sea level, with an area of about 20,000 square kilometers, it is located at the lowest point of the Tarim Basin, where the Tarim River, the Peacock River, the Cherchen River and the Shule River converge, and is the second largest saltwater lake in China.

(The ancient capital city of Loulan on the northwest side is the throat of the famous "Silk Road", that is, near Haitou City, and then due to climate change, the upstream water supply decreased;

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the capital of Loulan had to move to the southeast, moved the capital to Nicheng, renamed the current Shanshan country, and the capital was also changed to Shanshan City. ）

Haitou City is connected to the southwest and the end, Jingjue, Kumi, Khotan, the north is through the Cheshi, the northwest is through Yanqi, the east is Bailongdui, and the Dunhuang is the only place on the Silk Road.

Tang Zhongyi hid in Haitou City, more than 2,000 miles away, mainly to consider that if his identity was exposed in the future, it would be convenient to escape to the Cheshi Kingdom in the north and the Yanqi Kingdom in the northwest, and not to implicate the people of Phoenix Fort in the south of the basin, so as not to be caught by the Sima thieves of the Western Jin Dynasty.

There were still a few hundred meters away from the city gate, and Gongzi Wei Xing couldn't help but be happy, and shouted loudly while speeding up: "Sir, you are back, Ah Xing wants to kill you!" ”

He jumped off the horse and walked briskly, holding on to his hands.

"Xiaoxing, I haven't seen you for a year, you have grown a little taller and matured a lot, the new changes in Phoenix Castle, I have already seen it in my eyes, sir, I am very pleased!" Tang Zhongyi, who had a beard, gently patted Gongzi's shoulder, very satisfied.

"This is all because of your teaching, sir, and Phoenix Fort has changed today!" Gongzi Wei Xing replied with a smile.

"Yes, at least I'm a little more humble than before!" Tang Zhongyi joked with a smile.

"Doesn't the sir know the students yet? A student is a straight-hearted personality, how can he know what modesty is? Gongzi Wei Xing replied with a rosy face.

"Boy, stop being sloppy, I know more about the bad water in your stomach than anyone else! Be proud, be proud, what else to hide in front of Mr.? Tang Zhongyi shook his head and said absolutely.

"I still can't escape the eyes of Mr., the students are a little proud in their hearts, our Phoenix Fort has suddenly increased more than five hundred sturdy labor, which has greatly alleviated the difficulties of Phoenix Fort."

"Soon, the Zhenhu Dart Bureau will send at least a few hundred young people; As long as our Phoenix Fort survives this year's difficulties, next year will be completely different, and its strength will increase greatly, and it can be regarded as basically gaining a foothold in this place! ”

Tang Zhongyi nodded, and said as he walked, "You have already walked in front of me!" I was going to wait until you were a little older, and then I would smuggle some people from the Central Plains. ”

"On this trip, I hired someone from the Weiyuan Dart Bureau to accompany me to protect it, and the materials sent over were mainly salt and rice from the south, as well as a little cloth and shoes."

Gongzi Wei Xing smiled happily: "Sir, I was thinking about how to get a batch of salt, the stock in the fort has bottomed out, you are really in time!" ”

"Boy, I'm also very concerned about the situation in Stone Castle, I've heard from a few of them that the situation in Migu is very bad, right?" The group walked into the conference hall, Tang Zhongyi sat on the chair and asked worriedly.

"Sir, the general situation, the uncles should have told you a step earlier; The problem now is that those three groups of centaurs are preparing to spend the winter by the lake, and we have a headache. ”

"In desperation, we are ready to kill them; However, the three of them have a total of six or seven hundred people, all of whom are the elite of the Hu people who have been on the battlefield for a long time, and now we are worried that if this battle is fought, our own losses will be too great, and if we hurt our bones and muscles, it will not be good! I haven't made up my mind yet! Gongzi Wei Xing explained worriedly.

"It's a problem!" After Tang Zhongyi nodded, he closed his eyes and thought for a few minutes, then opened his eyes and said, "Ah Xing, I once told you that there are multiple ways to solve anything, and it is very difficult to solve it head-on, and it can be appropriately detoured, or even many times. ”

"Roundabout? After re、、、、、、citing it several times in Gongzi Wei Xing's mouth, he suddenly thought of something, and suddenly shouted: "I have a way!" ”

"Childe, what's the solution?" Meng Ping asked urgently, his face full of anticipation, and the others were also very interested.

"Secret!" Gongzi Wei Xing responded mysteriously, and said: "Prepare some more green vegetables here in Shibao, and I will bring them back tomorrow." ”

Everyone is very confused, I don't know what green vegetables have to do with this matter, and my heart is itching, and I am very curious.

Even the knowledgeable Tang Zhongyi didn't know what good way Gongzi Wei Xing had come up with, and he thought hard for a while, but he didn't come up with anything to do with vegetables.
