Chapter 14

This larger shadow turned out to be a larger city, and a new city under construction. The walls are more than half built, and there are not many houses in them. On the highest gatehouse is a big banner with the word "虢" written on it!

"This must be Father Yushi's house, we can't let him know our whereabouts!" Nejae hurriedly pulled the dutu back to the cabin, ordered all the ships to put away the flags and sails containing "Zheng" and "Ji", and at the same time quickly leaned towards the north bank, as far as possible from the city on the south bank.

Fortunately, God blessed it, and the fog happened to gradually thicken.

"How can you be sure this is the city of the Father of the Stone?" I don't understand it.

"This was originally Jiaoguo's territory. In the last seven years now, Yu Shifu killed their monarch under the pretext that Jiao Guo's tribute was flawed. The Jiao people were not convinced, and Father Yu Shi simply sent troops to destroy them. ”

It turned out that it was the Xiyu Kingdom that destroyed the Jiao Kingdom, and it seems that the memory of Dutu is correct. "He has an enmity with Jiao Guo?"

"Not really. It is rumored that Yu Shi's father fell in love with the land of Jiao in order to move east to the west of the country, so he designed to frame him. ”

"Hehe, that eighty percent was secretly chosen for him by the old man Taishi." Di Tu couldn't help but think of the scene where Taishi and Bao Xi tore apart in Situ Mansion.

"Quite possibly. When I heard the news that his father had fled on the eve of the coup, I guessed that he might have run here. Sure enough, he had already taken advantage of the chaos to urgently hang up the banner and build a new city. This person had already premeditated, so when he left, he did not evacuate in a hurry, but was full of looted gold and copper materials and hundreds of craftsmen, obviously preparing for this day for a long time. ”

"If he acts so recklessly, doesn't the Son of Heaven care?"

"The Son of Heaven is busy seizing power from the surname Jiang, and Father Yu Shi is the most active in this, so he naturally turns a blind eye." Nezai sighed, "However, Father Yu Shi has also made too many enemies because of this. Because this Jiao country is also surnamed Ji, this kind of fratricidal behavior led to a lot of dissatisfaction among the elders surnamed Ji in the DPRK, and finally caused the result of Zhou and Zhao coming forward to drive him down. ”

"It's a pity that everyone didn't catch Father Yu Shi and cheapened this big traitor. Now the pickaxe capital is in chaos, but he is hiding here! "Dig Tu hated itchy.

"Whether Father Yu Shi is busy with the founding of the country, it means that he has not focused on the East, which is conducive to us fishing in troubled waters. If he finds out that we are also moving eastward, he will inevitably try his best to stir up the yellow, whether it is to send troops to attack or to divide with his relatives in the east country, we will not be able to fight back. So be sure to avoid this plague god. Digging nodded thoughtfully.

At this time, the sun pierced the thick water mist, and the outside of the ship suddenly brightened, and sure enough, it was a winter fog and a sunny day. The fleet had rounded a hill and was out of sight of the new kingdom. The boatmen re-hoisted their sails and accelerated downstream. The dug stud went up to the deck again, and a magnificent view came before him. The Kunshan Mountain on the south side and the Zhongtiao Mountain on the north side are like a giant tong of Tiangong, firmly clamping the unruly Yellow River, which is in response to Li Bai's sentence "The green mountains on both sides of the strait are opposite each other, and the lonely sail comes by the sun."

Hundreds of years later, the Qin and Jin dynasties will compete for hegemony here, and thousands of years later, China and Japan will fight fiercely here, and the clouds of history will rush to the heart of the digging in an instant. He couldn't help but ask himself: What kind of legacy will I leave here? Thinking of this, it seems that this is not just a game, but perhaps a rare opportunity for Diqing to prove his ability. Di Tu secretly made up his mind that he could no longer rely on the blessing of Lord Neizai so completely, and he had to grow up gradually, exercise his political ability, and guide the country in this hot land of the Spring and Autumn Period as soon as possible!

The ship moves like an arrow. A few days later, the Yellow River left the mountains behind and rushed to the plains of the Central Plains. Zheng Guo's convoy resurfaced and headed straight for the capital of Dongyu Kingdom.

The envoys had already arrived in advance, so the monarch of Dongyu and the monarch of Yi had already been waiting outside the city, welcoming the convoy all the way to the palace. While greeting them, he carefully observed their words and deeds so that he could pinch them in the coming days. Because Lord Nejae was afraid that he would make some kind of moth on a formal occasion again, he told him in advance what to do and how to say.

The second gentleman was very enthusiastic, the ceremonies and music were played in unison, and the three animals and five grains were all on the ground. The banquet was staggered, so it was not lively, and outsiders couldn't see the conspiracy surging behind it. When the wine was half-drunk, the red face of the monarch of the country was full of greeting, and he stammered with a smile: "We are a small country, and today we have to welcome the eldest prince of Situ, which is really brilliant!" He burped and continued to pat his ass, "With all due respect, you are willing to come to us, and the whole country is welcome!" Speaking of which, we will also live next to the princes from the capital, and our faces are beautiful! ”

"Uncle Yi has an overreputation. The country is the descendant of the fire god Zhurong, and it is our honor to be our neighbor with you. "You also know that the monarch has served the country all the year round, and the military expenditure is huge, and the little Zheng Cheng has long been unable to support my subjects. This time, the Son of Heaven is gracious, Uncle Yi and Uncle Yu appreciate their faces, and they are willing to share some land for us to stay, I am really grateful. ”

"Where, where? Even if there is no order from the Son of Heaven, we should help with all our might. "Yi Guojun really has no bottom line when he speaks.

The monarch of Dongyu seemed to be a chicken thief, and his two rat eyes turned around twice from time to time. He asked in a sharp voice: "After the abolition of the crown prince defected, the Holy Lord and Lord Situ personally drove to conquer the Xishen Kingdom, and it has been more than a month, I don't know why the war has not been successful?" ”

Di Tu secretly scolded in his heart, this gentleman is really cunning, but it also shows that he has not received the latest battle report, so he opened his mouth: "The monarch's father is out of the horse, and the divine power of the Son of Heaven is naturally invincible." Thinking of the old father-in-law's old feelings, the saint besieged but did not attack, looking forward to him turning back. If Shenhou insists on stubbornly resisting, he will eventually pay the price. Is Uncle Yu still worried about Wang Jun? ”

"That's good, that's good." Yu Jun was slightly embarrassed, changed the topic, and continued to say in a weird manner, "We welcome Gongzi to settle down, but the country is small and the people are weak, and I am afraid that there will be places where the hospitality is not good, so please forgive Gongzi." ”

Digging Tu naturally heard the words, so he glanced behind him. Lord Neizai immediately stepped forward, took out a beautiful soft silk from his sleeve, and presented it to the two monarchs: "This trip is in a hurry, I will give a light courtesy, and I hope to accept it with a smile." ”

There are gold, copper, jade, and silk on this list, which is worth the income of these two small countries for many years. So the only little suspicion at the banquet was swept away, and both sides became even happier until they were drunk.

This is the third political show since Jia Hanqing's crossing. The first time Situ Fu took the initiative to talk at night, but he was choked up without saying a few words, and he was at a loss; For the second time, under the encouragement of love, Mingtang struggled, and although he was at a disadvantage, he barely saved Zhong Xi, showing the momentum of a newborn calf; When it came to dealing with the two old foxes this time, he became the protagonist, and his words and deeds were already remarkable, and even Lord Neizai praised him privately. His political self-confidence began to gradually increase, and he was more daring to participate in political affairs according to his own ideas.

The next day, the officials of the two countries agreed on the specific allocation area. He asked for a piece of land between Yu and Yi according to Taishi's suggestion and the information he had consulted in advance. The other party saw that this land was not big, and because it was on the edge of the two countries, it had been neglected for a long time, so he secretly laughed at Zheng Guoren's stupidity in his heart, so he readily agreed.

Nejae got the map and studied it with Dutu. The place they chose was between the end of the Qinling Mountains and the Yellow River. This land is located next to the northern foot of the Yumai, so although the land is flat, the terrain is high. This is important because further north near the Yellow River is Xingze, a fertile but low-lying swamp that requires a lot of water conservancy projects to develop. It is very disadvantageous for Zheng Guoren, who have just moved in and urgently need to settle down.

Di Tu had to admire the vicious eyes of the old man Taishi and the meticulous research of Lord Neizai. These places can be cultivated with a little rectification, but the two countries of Yu and Yi have been deserted, and the kings of recent generations have become more and more incompetent, and they have not recognized the value of these places.

There are not many cities in this land, and one of the larger castles is called "Kyo", and Uchizai chose this place as the capital of the transition. Digging suddenly remembered, this "Jing" is the place where the famous story "Zheng Boke Duan Yuyan" in "Zuo Biography" takes place, and the protagonists are his eldest son and youngest son who have not yet been born. Among them, the youngest son was sealed here, and he also received a name of "Uncle Jingjing", which is very Korean Oba-style. Of course, after such a stirring of digging and crossing, whether this will happen depends on his mood.

After completing the formalities, in order to avoid long days and dreams, the digging group quickly set out and went to the capital to settle down. At the same time, we will speed up the gathering of immigrants and the development of production, in an attempt to seize these places as soon as possible. However, new problems soon arose.
