Chen Chen was sitting in the hall at the moment, looking at the front with serious eyes, and Commander Wei and Chen Cheng were sitting together, their faces were also ugly.

"You two got the news too, right? Chen Guo took the initiative to sue for peace with Nanzhao, and now there is a truce, this truce seems to have been forcibly implemented by Chen Zhuo alone, what do you think of Chen Guo's actions this time? Chen Chen let out a sigh of relief and leaned back on the chair.

Commander Wei and Chen Cheng glanced at each other, and Chen Cheng said hesitantly: "I'm afraid that Chen Guo has already guessed that the war may be burning." ”

Commander Wei also said heavily: "I originally hoped that I could have the opportunity to develop, but now it seems that it is impossible. ”

Chen Chen nodded slightly: "Of course it's impossible, that's why this king sent someone to Lushui Island to find Yang Cheng back, maybe it will be the beginning of the war soon, at least that's what we get now." ”

"So what now? Will the road continue to be built? Chen Cheng looked at Chen Chen and put forward his own ideas.

"Why don't you repair, continue to repair, don't mess up, immediately summon Shangguan Yu, Wu Kexin and Qin Ruhai to come to Shengzhou, Dongshui is temporarily stabilized by Chen Biao, and tell the major merchants that they have quickly gathered their strength to return to Dongshui recently." Chen Chen made a quick decision.

Sighing slightly: "Our intelligence system is still not detailed enough, although we have received the news of the truce between Chen Guo and Nanzhao, but the specific motives of the opponent are still not visible, and immediately send someone to infiltrate Chen Guo to quickly inquire about the news and see what they are going to do next." ”

Commander Wei bowed his hand slightly: "Don't worry, the last general has already sent someone to investigate, and there will be news soon, this time our army is almost trained, and it must be able to resist the attack of Chen Guo, after all, Chen Guo's combat effectiveness is not very strong." ”

Chen Chen shook his head: "Although Chen Guo said that the army is weak, but after months of fighting, presumably the combat effectiveness has also improved, we can't underestimate it, besides, which country doesn't have the strength to press the bottom of the box?" ”

"Okay, you two go down and deploy the army at once, and this king will go and see how the road is repaired." Even if the environment is unfavorable now, the road construction still cannot be stopped, after all, once the fire is fired, the smooth flow of the official road determines the speed of the army's assembly.

Seeing off the two, Chen Chen rode a horse to the construction site, through the streets of Shengzhou, the city has been built, all walks of life have also begun, walking in the city, Chen Chen was comfortable.

The streets are made of concrete, there are trees on both sides of the street, the sidewalks and lanes are distinct, all kinds of horse-drawn vehicles are running with things and goods, and residents are pushing their carts to walk quickly on the road, everything is so safe.

Coming to the construction site, at this moment Li Chuanwen was leading the Ministry of Engineering to discuss things, and when he saw Chen Chen coming, he hurriedly led everyone to greet him.

accepted everyone's great gifts and worshipped, leaving Li Chuanwen alone for questioning.

Chen Chen looked at the map and carefully observed the repair work of the road surface: "Now that Shengzhou City has been built, is the road connecting Dongshui also being repaired?" ”

Li Chuanwen nodded and replied: "Yes, Lord Wang, Shengzhou has been built, the road to Dongshui has been built, and the lower officials have accelerated the construction." ”

Chen Chen nodded: "Continue to repair, speed up, don't delay, everything is mainly about road repair." ”

Master Li hesitated for a moment and said: "Lord Wang, Xiaguan heard that Nanzhao and Chen Guo truce, this is probably not good for our Dongshui, road construction is a big project, Xiaguan is afraid of energy overdraft, it is difficult to deal with the unknowable factors in the future, do you want to stop building roads?" ”

Chen Chen waved his hand: "No need, continue to build the road, first of all, the main line will connect Dongshui Kyoto as soon as possible, and the other branch lines can be appropriately slowed, this is a big deal." ”

Li Chuanwen hurriedly nodded and promised to promise that he would take it seriously.

Accompanied by Li Chuanwen, Chen Chen took a special look at the road built, although it was ancient and the productivity was low, but there were many people, so the progress of the project was quite fast, the road surface was smooth, the width was about five meters, and the words were connected, all in accordance with the rules.

Although the terrain of Dongshui is uneven, it is not steep, and it is relatively easy to apply, and the cement road spreads along the terrain.

After commending the people, encouraging their enthusiasm to continue the construction, and ordering some rewards to the laborers to boost morale, Chen Chen returned to the capital with peace of mind.

This road can be completed in another week or two according to this progress, and the mobilization of the army will be easier at that time, and now the army is mainly concentrated here in Shengzhou, and the newly built Shengzhou City has also completed the construction of the offensive and defensive facilities of the city wall, and the new castle can be described as impregnable.

Looking at the iron production of the factory, Chen Chen is also quite satisfied, although it is difficult and slow to make iron by manpower, but he has started to prepare a long time ago, so now he has a lot of savings in iron production.

Chen Chen looked at the technology of making steel and gunpowder in his notebook, and fell into deep thought, should he let the artillery land here?

If artillery is not built, then regional security is really difficult to guarantee, and if it is built, it will enter the era of hot weapons in advance, and then it will be a full-scale massacre.

And once the technology is leaked, it will be even worse, Chen Chen can't calm down for a long time with the notebook.

When Chen Chen was entangled, Emperor Chen had already gathered the envoys of Nanzhao, Western Qi and Western Chu, and Emperor Chen personally received him in the palace.

Chen Zhuo sat on the throne in a golden dragon robe and laughed: "Today is the day when our four countries gather for the first time, presumably all the envoys should also know that Dongshui has seriously threatened us, and now all the merchants of my Chen State have entered Dongshui, and the people of Chen State have poured into Dongshui, if it is not for me to send people to stop it, I am afraid that all the people will rush to Dongshui." ”

General Nanzhao picked up the wine glass and threw it up: "Your Majesty is right, our two countries value peace, but they were provoked by Dongshui and there was a war, this hatred will naturally be repaid, this general has been fighting against Tu'an in the southwest, but he never thought that Dongshui would dare to show off his might, and this time he will eradicate Dongshui." ”

Xichu Yushi smiled slightly: "General Liu is really brave and bold, it seems that he has been battle-hardened for a long time against Tu'an in the southwest!" But don't forget, Dongshui is not Tu'an, they don't use brute force, Chen Chen's air attack on Dongshui in Nanzhao Tianzhou has almost no casualties, he is scheming, not to mention, and he has the notebook of the high priest of Xinglong in his hand, it seems that this new weapon is also made according to the notebook, and it is better for our four countries to be careful. ”

When General Liu heard this, he was immediately unhappy: "What, Lord Liang, are you Xichu afraid?" ”

Lord Liang laughed: "I'm afraid, we're afraid of death, he didn't use much strength to attract the people of your Nanzhao and Chen Kingdom, and the merchants of several of our countries have also become the power of Dongshui, what's even worse is that so many people have gone, Dongshui is still not chaotic, it's really incredible!" ”

"Yes, a year ago, he led a group of special troops to break the city of our Western Qi, and the two generals were defeated and fled." The envoy of Xiqi also smiled bitterly.

General Liu: "Ao, General Ben remembers, it is said that women and children went to the battlefield, your Qichu coalition army was defeated, so many years have passed, you still have not grown, and when the old man meets Dongshui, he will be wiped out, and Dongshui will be strangled." ”

"Hmph, Old Man Liu, you thought you were a god when you successfully defeated Tu'an in the southwest? Can you use more soldiers than your ancestors? Your ancestors were defeated again and again at the hands of the high priest of Xinglong, defeated again and again, and finally committed suicide because they couldn't bear it. When Lord Liang heard that Old Man Liu insulted Xi Chu like this, he was not happy at once, and immediately ridiculed him.

"You ......" When Old Man Liu heard Lord Liang say this, the ancestor of the Liu family suddenly couldn't hold his breath, and his face turned red.

"What? The official said it wrong? Lord Liang glared at General Liu with a sneer.

Old man Liu smashed the cup and got angry.

Their Liu family is the pillar of Nanzhao, and the ancestors of the Liu family have a more wonderful way of using troops, which can be said to have pacified many wars for Nanzhao.

But since meeting the high priest of Xinglong, the Liu family has been deflated again and again, and every time they have been beaten to the ground, the ancestors of the Liu family have been humiliated and overwhelmed many times and committed suicide, this is their shame, but now they have been put forward so directly by Lord Liang, how can they not make him angry.

"Okay, okay, two, don't be angry, this time we are facing Dongshui, not each other, we have to gather our strength together, this time we are talking to everyone to form a coalition to attack Dongshui, you must know that Dongshui's wealth is huge." Chen Zhuo watched a few families making a fuss, only felt a headache, and hurriedly made a round.

The envoy of Western Qi smiled slightly: "Yes, Dongshui has gathered huge wealth now, and Dongshui Bank is a treasure that gathers major merchants, which can be described as very rich, and it is estimated that the total income exceeds our treasury." Look at the new city that has been built, equipped with a new army, and what cement factory has been built, the official road has been renovated, and the Shengzhou City is said to be made of cement outside, which is solid, and this action is not small. ”

General Liu snorted coldly: "If it weren't for His Majesty Chen Guo saying that Dongshui is rich and powerful, the old man wouldn't have bothered to look at this little place." ”

Lord Liang sneered: "Old guy with low eyes, you still look down on others?" However, Dongshui really needs to be eliminated, there were almost no troops before, but now there are more than 200,000, and these troops are all old soldiers from our previous family, which is annoying. ”

Chen Zhuo laughed: "Then form a four-nation alliance, break the East Water, and divide the huge treasure equally." And the key to the inheritance treasure of our Chen Kingdom is also in Chen Chen's hands, once you get it, all the wealth will be divided equally among the four families, what do you think, I have done my best to be sincere, I hope to repay your king, you must send troops! ”

For Chen Zhuo, Dongshui really needs to be removed, Dongshui was originally the fief of Chen Guo, but now it has developed rapidly and almost become a cancer of Chen Guo, wealth and military strength seriously threaten Chen Guo, this time with the help of the power of the three is to uproot Dongshui.

When the envoys of the three kingdoms heard this, their faces moved, and they all praised again and again, the wealth of Dongshui and the inheritance of the wealth of Chen Guo, this wealth is also huge, if they all share a little soup, it is estimated that they can ensure the operation of the country for several years, and no one will get along with silver.

Several people nodded hurriedly and quickly repaired the book to report to their own king about this trip to Chen Guo.
