Chapter 328: Discussing the Imperial Capital

"Your Majesty, Xiling City has been fully captured, do you want to send troops to reinforce General Gan now?" Wang Ping asked Ma Hong, who was standing on the city tower and was in a daze with gunsmoke. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Ma Hong shook his head and said, "The navy is strong enough, Gu believes in the ability of General Gan Ning and Zhuge Liang, and they will definitely not let Gu down." What we have to do now is to take a city, appease the heart of a city, build houses for the displaced people, and provide them with food and grass, after all, this is a war initiated by Lone, and it is Lone who pushes them into the war, and after the war is extinguished, Lone will definitely give them a peace. ”

"Your Majesty, there will be a problem at the end."

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

"Your Majesty, how many years does it take for the State of Chu to seize the world?"

Wang Ping's question made Ma Hong's heart boil, Wang Ping did not ask whether Chu could seize the world, but asked how many years it would take for Chu to seize the world, which proves that in Wang Ping's heart, he Ma Hong seized the world when the time is not a question of whether he can succeed, since Wang Ping thinks so, then there must be many generals who think so, the generals think that if they can seize the world, then their fighting spirit will boil, and the soldiers feel that they can seize the world, and their fighting spirit and combat power will be greatly improved. Ma Hong understood at this moment that as long as the Chu army continued to maintain such momentum, the seizure of the world was just around the corner.

"Your Majesty, did the last general ask a question that should not be asked?"

Wang Ping saw that Ma Hong didn't speak for a long time, his heart tightened, and he hurriedly said.

Ma Hong shook his head and said: "No, Lone just thinks about it again, when he takes away the world, how will Lone govern the world, how will he build the palace, and where will he build the imperial capital?" ”

Deng Ai and Jiang Wei on the side heard Ma Hong's words, and instantly raised their spirits, Jiang Wei spoke: "Father, the son feels that if you choose the imperial capital, you must choose from three places. ”

Ma Hong asked, "From which three places?" ”

"First, it is Xiangyang, because the father's kingdom is called Chu, and Xiangyang is an important military and commercial town, and it is half of the father's hometown, which has been operated by his father for many years, and is now the royal capital, which is the current economic and cultural center of Chu, and is qualified to become the imperial capital; Second, it is Chang'an, Chang'an City has an excellent geographical location, Chang'an is located in Guanzhong, can be attacked, retreated can be defended, and there are 800 miles of Qinchuan fertile land, now the population is the second most populous city in Chu State, since the father took Chang'an, Chang'an City is becoming more and more prosperous, coupled with the mining of Taiyuan coal mines, now Chang'an's economy is not weaker than the royal capital Xiangyang, and Chang'an has been the capital of the Han Dynasty, and it is also suitable to choose it as the imperial capital; The third is Luoyang. Luoyang City, located in the Central Plains, borders Pishan in the north, Luoshui in the south, Jianghuai in the east, and Guanlong in the west; There are more mountains surrounding, according to the tiger prison pass in the east, Hangu Pass in the west, Youyan in the north, Yique in the south, the mountains and rivers arch Dai, and the situation is in the world. "Emperor Cuihan's residence, Heluo Kingdom", Luoyang is the political, economic and cultural center of the Han Dynasty, and it is also a transportation hub with roads extending in all directions. The galloping post road, which is as straight as an arrow, is far away; Although Luoyang City is now under the command of the Wei State, Erchen thinks that it will definitely be taken over by our Chu State in the near future. ”

Jiang Wei gushed out.

Ma Hong listened to Jiang Wei's words, and what Jiang Wei said was not much different from what he thought.

At this time, Deng Ai spoke: "Your Majesty, the student thinks that there is another place that is more suitable for being the imperial capital. ”

"Where?"

"Taiyuan City, now there are a large number of coal mines near Taiyuan, although coal mining is more difficult now, most of the coal mines mined are used for military and forging, but with the improvement of mining technology, Taiyuan City will become an extremely economically developed city in the future."

Ma Hong nodded and said, "Not bad, not bad." You're all right. So now, let's attack Soochow first! ”

"No!" Wang Ping, Deng Ai, and Jiang Wei said in unison.

Ma Hong smiled, stretched out his hand and stroked the blackened stone brick burned by the flames, and said slowly: "How many people's blood will be soaked in this brick." ”

After speaking, he walked down the city tower and walked into the palace of Xiling City under the protection of the guards.

"Empires are piled up with human corpses, and the more enemy corpses there are, the stronger the empire becomes. We are appreciated by the king, and we must be the king, for the state of Chu, to cut thorns and thorns, and dedicate our blood. ”

Deng Ai looked at Ma Hong's back, raised his head slightly, and said firmly.

Jiang Wei nodded and said, "Senior brother is right. ”

Wang Ping looked at his two junior brothers and smiled slightly, once upon a time, he was just a son of an ordinary person, not only the favor of fate, but also the king of Chu, Ma Hong, had the ability to predict the future, and he was able to find him out of the mountains and wilderness when he was more than ten years old, and carefully taught him who was illiterate, taught him the art of war, and adjusted his martial arts. made him Liu Ye's apprentice. Now he has become the general who commands the Wudang Flying Army, and he can get to this point all thanks to Ma Hong, and the soldier dies for his confidant, so from the very beginning, he decided to contribute his life to Ma Hong's cause.

Don't stutter, the teacher taught him reality, although the method of teaching him is very special, but he learned a lot from the teacher, so that he, a stuttering teenager who was not valued before, can also become a general who leads thousands of troops and horses, stationed in the capital Xiangyang, Deng Ai got what Deng Ai got much earlier than the Deng Ai in history. Ma Hong has changed the lives of many people, originally Jiang Wei and Deng Ai, a pair of fateful generals, have now become brothers in the same school, learning martial arts and literature together, and fighting on the battlefield together.

The apprentice of Wolong and Phoenix, the son of Ma Hongyi, the king of Chu, this heavy aura was added to him, and the three most capable of the seven sons of the water mirror taught him, and the military generals with superb marksmanship of the Chu State taught him marksmanship, Zhang Ren, Zhang He, and Gan Ning. All this is thanks to Ma Hong, Jiang Wei got more things than anyone else, Ma Hong is bent on cultivating him into a handsome man with both civil and military skills, and he is also working this line, conquering the Southern Barbarians, fighting Zhu Rongping Meng, and also harvesting his other half, Ma Hong has no objection to marrying a Yi woman as his wife. This attack on Soochow, its battlefield personally beheaded Handang, and it became famous in the first battle.

Wang Ping, Deng Ai and Jiang Wei stood on the city wall and looked at Ma Hong's back, Wang Ping said: "Two, after taking the Eastern Wu, will the king be the emperor?" ”

"I think it's very likely." Deng Ai nodded.

Jiang Wei also nodded and said: "My father's talent is also extremely outstanding among the emperors of the past and present, no, it can't be described by the word outstanding, it is already comparable to the Qin Emperor Han Wu, and the Chu State will definitely be able to sweep Liuhe under its leadership, and when the time comes, the territory of the Chu State will be the largest." ”

A gust of wind blew, Deng Ai and Wang Ping both had smiles on their faces, the founding of the Chu State, they are not the first batch of heroes of the founding of the country, but if they can seize the world for Ma Hong in the next time and expand the territory, their exploits will surely be passed down through the ages. Because in another ten or twenty years, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Liu Ye, Gan Ning, Wei Yan and others will grow old, and then the world will be their battlefield!! Because now they are all young. They have time to see something further afield.
