Prisoner Chapter 311 Where is Daozi now?

The Yellow River. It is very different from the course of the Yellow River in later generations.

Especially in Henan. After the water passes through the mouth. All the way north. It abruptly divides into two rivers. A river channel. That is, the course of the Yellow River. Another river channel. Continue to flow in a northerly arc. With the course of the Yellow River, it forms a bow-shaped inner sleeve area.

The river that branched off was called the North River, now known as the Uga River).

Kuhara County includes the south of the river. as well as the area of the inner sleeve.

Hebei in a broad sense. Refers to the north of the river. But in the eyes of the people of Jiuyuan County. The North River must be crossed. It's Hebei.

Riverside. It's right on the banks of the North River. It is a riverbank fortress in the inner set.

The first emperor in the great civil engineering of the river. The Great Wall was built. But really. The Great Wall was built with the river as a barrier. Cross the river. Although it is still within the territory of Great Qin. But most of the time. There are soldiers and horses stationed on the river. There is no more Qin army guards.

Inner sleeve of the area. The Great Qin Empire and the Yue Kingdom of Hebei. A band that carries out trade.

Since the Huns fled north. , the country and Lao Qin established a deep connection. In particular, the first emperor placed Jiuyuan County. Forty-four cities were opened. The connection between the Yue clan and Lao Qin. More often. When Fusu was alive. On the one hand, it is to strengthen ties with the nomadic peoples of the steppe. to facilitate large-scale economic aggression and integration. So it's in the inner sleeve area. And he built another city.

This city. Named Five.

But at this time, the five plains. It does not exist in the form of a county seat.

It is more of a trade exchange. The permanent population is not very large, but there are more than 1,000 people.

It consisted of elderly soldiers and some family members of exiled northern criminals. At the same time, it is also responsible for the management and cleaning of Gohara Castle.

Regardless of Fusu at the very beginning. What kind of purpose did you come to Jiuyuan?

But overall. In the four years of Fusu supervising the army of Wuyuan, he and Meng Tian vigorously rectified Jiuyuan County, which made Jiuyuan County quite happy.

After Wang Li took over. did not erase all the rules formulated by Fusu Mengtian back then.

But. Still, he relinquished control of the zone of the inner coat. In addition to the stationing of 800 pawns in the riverside fortress. There was no longer a garrison of the Qin army in the entire inner sleeve. And the role of the five originals was also diluted. Later, it was taken over by Wu Shi. Changed its name to Fort Usch.

Wu Shi is a very smart man.

He bought a mansion in Yancheng, but rarely lived there.

In addition to holding a wine banquet. Invite the king to get away from these great men. That Yan's mansion. More often than not, there are only a few dozen old servants to take care of it. For this attitude of the U-clan. Wang Li also appreciated it very much. Later, he simply put the five originals. Leave it to Wu Shi to take care of.

So. Gradually, Wuyuan became the private property of the Wu clan.

Almost all of the large border trade had to be handled through the U-clan. To a large extent, the Wu clan has controlled the economic lifeline of Jiuyuan and fifty percent. And for this. Wang Li didn't notice it. The opposite is for Uz. More trust.

Wang Li is just Wang Li after all. And not his father or grandfather.

If it's Wang Jian or Wang Ben. Surely such a thing will not be tolerated. But Wang Li. He's just a pure military man.

――――――――――――――――――

"I didn't expect this Wu Shijun. It's really capable. ”

After entering Henan. Liu ordered the march to be slowed down. On the one hand, continue to go north. On the one hand, he sent people to Jiuyuan. Consult with those who have left the king. Buy heavy grain and grass. to relieve the pressure on food.

Shandong, north, south, south. The war raged.

But Kyuhara-gun, Chirino. It's deserted.

Along. Liu saw many small villages and towns. There are about 1,000 households. The small ones may not even have a hundred. The so-called forty-four,. Just a general statement. There are many castles with the name of "prefecture". Not even compared to the small village of the barn.

Henan's is too big.

Meng Tian expanded the land for 3,000 miles. It's almost up to the last level.

Hundreds of thousands of people threw into it. The effect is very. It's like a stone sinking into the sea.

Imagine. A pass. There are about four or five hundred people. Of course. At this time, people's mouths are closed. It does not include Gansu, Ningxia and so on in later generations. Thousands of miles of fertile soil in the Hexi Corridor. It's still a barren place. But even so. It is very different from Jiuyuan County.

"Daddy. It's so barren here*. ”

While passing through an abandoned city. Qin took the commander with him. climbed into the car in which Liu was riding. Some disappointed complaints.

Liu's big car. Very big.

It is the processing that I went through. The compartment is almost smaller than the previous room.

In the middle of the carriage. There is a brazier. There is a hat fastened on it. The heat came out of the hole in the hat. It is very evenly dispersed.

Such a big car. There are twenty cars in total.

Except for the big car in which Madame was riding. Liu's car is the largest.

It can accommodate more than a dozen people at the same time. It is also a temporary place for Liu to convene his staff to discuss things.

Conductor. Just Ning's little grandson.

Liu put down the official document in his hand. Smile slightly. "Compared to eight years ago. The first time I came to Henan, it was much better.

Eight years ago. Here's all the way through. Villages may not be visible for hundreds of miles.

Except for those nomadic Hu people. It's a wasteland. Qin. Daddy wants you to remember. No matter how prosperous the party is. It's also a little bit of reclamation. Jiuyuan is the gateway to Shandong and even the entire north. In the future, even if there is only one person here. Nor must we give up. ”

Liu Qin didn't quite understand what Liu meant. It can be seen that Liu's solemn expression is serious. Still nod vigorously. Indicates that it was written down.

"Alright. Go ahead. ”

Liu rubbed Liu Qin's head melon seeds. "You grew up in Loucang. I've never seen such a spectacular view. Warehouse. Beauty is beauty. But in the end, it was less bold. And the long go out for a walk. Find your father-in-law. Let's see if we can catch two good horses back. ”

One into Henan. Che Ning and Tu Tu caught more than a dozen wild horses. Let Liu's cavalry. to a little addition.

After all, in the passage of Yokoyama. Liu's cavalry losses were not small. At least more than 100 horses lost their sex in the mountains.

Liu Qin listened. Cheers out. And the captain got out of the car.

Liu found Li Cheng, Jia Shao and others. Prepare to deliberate...

"We're going to arrive tomorrow. Presumably, Wu Shijun has also received the news.

Looking at Wu Shijun's actions in Jiuyuan, I'm afraid it's not small... I didn't know when I asked him to transfer to Jiuyuan County. Still wrong.

But. I believe that he is afraid that we are not welcome at this moment.

Whether we stay in Jiuyuan. Or cross the river to the north. will be to a large extent. affects his interests. Person. Don't be careful. ”

Li Cheng took out a picture of a roll of cowhide from his bag. Spread in front of Liu.

"Prince. Jasma has inquired about the main areas of activity of the Wu clan in the past two years.

He is very close to the Yue clan and has frequent contacts with Dragon City. I've heard people talk about it. At the end of last year, the king of the Yue clan married a daughter to the Wu clan. This person is in Wuyuan, and he controls the inner set of Hebei, and there are thousands of fertile land under his name. More than 100,000 horses. The strength is very strong; At the same time, he also controlled copper salt and other materials. Befriended the Yueshi Xiongnu. It is also quite prestigious in Jiuyuan.

If the prince wants to be full of nine plains. I'm just afraid of this Wu clan. It's the first big obstacle. ”

Liu nodded. Look at the densely marked red dots on the map. I can't help but feel a little heavy in my heart.

At the beginning, I wanted Wu to go to Jiuyuan Exhibition. It's trying to take advantage of him. Be a nail. I didn't expect it. This nail. has become a sharp weapon that is enough to give Liu a headache. Since you want to be based on Jiuyuan. Then all power must be concentrated in the hands of one person.

And so it goes. and Ooth. Conflict is inevitable.

"Jashaw. Have you ever been in contact with Daozi? ”

Jia Shao shook his head. "Say weird. I left my contact information according to Michiko. But I couldn't get in touch with him.

But. Meng is in touch. ”

"Munch? Where is he now? ”

Jia Shao said: "Shaojun Ru is still in Wuquan in the clouds (northeast of present-day Hohhot City). ”

"Wu Quan?" Liu Yi was stunned. glanced at Li Cheng.

If you talk about the level of knowledge in the Nine Plains Clouds. Liu is far inferior to Li.

Li Cheng hurriedly said: "Wuquan is a border fortress in the clouds. It is also the northern gateway of Yunzhong County. If the Donghu and Yueshi people want to attack Yunzhong. It is necessary to pass through Wuquan. I want to come to Meng Shaojun to go to Wuquan. is worried about Wang Li's evacuation. The Hu people will attack there. ”

Jia Shao said: "Meng Shaojun also said the same.

Wang Li gathered eighty percent of the soldiers and horses in the northern frontier. Shandong suppressed the rebellion. From the cloud to the mouth. There are only 10,000 people left behind in the thousand-mile defense line.

Meng Shaojun said. It was Daozi who asked him to gather the troops of the former generals in the clouds. After Wang Li leaves. Took over Wuquan. Donghu's attack has been released. And. Judging from the news from Meng Shaojun and Li Shaojun. Since the end of last year. After Wang Li gathered troops and horses into Shandong. The Donghu Xiongnu are indeed ready to move. In the spring of this year. After three sorties. But it didn't stay long. ”

The news. Liu also said.

The leader of the Donghu Xiongnu is also Liu's old opponent.

The two had a fight in Henan. Although there is a huge disparity in power. But that time. Liu did lose.

"Is there any Meng Shaojun? Where is Daozi now? ”

Meng Shaojun said. After Daozi arrived in Henan. First of all, after Jiuyuan Yan Guangwu and Wuyuan and others went around in a circle. Just alone. I went to Hebei. At the same time, most of the gold was taken away. I haven't had any contact with you since.

Before Shaojun and Liqiu. has been hiding in one of the general's former generals. Prince. You say that he will not. ”

"No way."

Liu didn't wait for Jia Shao to finish speaking. He waved his hand and motioned for him not to continue.

Jia Shao's meaning. Liu is clear. He said. Chen Ping did not flee with the money.

Liu and Chen Ping have known each other for more than ten years. There is also a friendship between life and death. His brother is now on Liu's side. The assets of the Chen family. Although it has shrunk a lot after leaving Yuanwu. But if Chen Ping betrayed Liu for the sake of a mere gold.

Liu didn't believe it.

"That said. Michiko has no contact with the Wu clan? ”

"I don't think I heard what Meng Shaojun meant."

Liu's eyes lit up: That is to say. Chen Ping may have sensed Wu's ambitions. Otherwise. Such a good nail. There is no reason why he doesn't take advantage of it. The reason why he didn't go to the Wu clan was because Chen Ping was wary of the Wu clan.

If Chen Ping is wary, then.

Liu couldn't help but laugh.

'M afraid. , the danger. The ensuing is minimized.

"Good. Next, Jia you should strengthen your ties with Meng Shaojun and Li Shaojun. In particular, the movements of the Donghu people need to be inquired more carefully.

There are also small works sent to try to blend into the Ushi.

Let Qin Tong send black-clothed guards to cross the North River again. Closely monitor the movements of the Xiongnu and Yueshi. Anything that comes to mind must be told to me as soon as possible. ”

"Whoa."

Jia Shao immediately got up. Got out of the car.

Li Cheng couldn't help but ask, "Junhou." Don't worry about the road. I mean. He hasn't been heard from for so long. Will there be any accidents? ”

Liu smiled and shook his head. "Daozi is not a book without the power of a chicken. His swordsmanship may not be as powerful as Gai Nie and Liqiu, but ordinary seven or eight people don't want to get close to him. Besides, he's a man. Very cautious and careful. You will be very calm when you encounter problems.

If something really happens. Will find a way to inform me.

Now he has no news. Just explain. Everything is still under his control. ”

Li Cheng was infected by Liu's confident expression. I couldn't help but laugh.

"Let's be honest. Michiko and I have known each other for a long time. But I'm now. What I know about him. Not as good as the prince eleven. That guy doesn't talk much on weekdays. Nor do they speak. I really don't see it. Why is the prince so confident? ”

For?

This is a question that Liu himself has a hard time answering.

Maybe. It's because he's in history. Indeed, there are countless deeds left behind. So that Liu can have no reason. To trust.

――――――――――――――――

It's been night, and the city is still brightly lit.

Gohara Castle has been renamed Wushi Fort. It is also as majestic as the castle built by the Wu clan in the Wu clan back then.

Of course. The time is somewhat short.

Fort Us. It is far from being compared to the ancient castle of Wushi. Regardless of the height and thickness of the wall. Or from the various building facilities inside the fort. It's not ancient. But. The scale is already there.

Compared to the castle. Newcastle is based on a city.

The space for exhibition is even larger. And this momentum is even more magnificent.

Ushi knelt in the center of the living room. Looking at the message transmitted from Jiuyuan Yan. The brow unconsciously twisted into a Sichuan character.

"Ying Yuan. What do you think about this? ”

The letter that Wu Shi put down his hand. He looked up and asked the middle-aged man sitting on the side.

This is the eldest son of the Wu family, named Wu Yingyuan (pay great tribute to Huang Yi). The year is past forty. Born burly and majestic. Looks resolute. At first glance. You definitely won't believe it. This Wu Yingyuan and Wu, between. There will be blood ties.

A fat one is like a ball of meat. One is.

Wu Yingyuan heard the old father's inquiry. Shaking his head slightly, he sneered, "I really didn't expect it." This Liu Junhou really did it. ”

"yes. I didn't think of it either. ”

Wu's eyes narrowed. It looks like it's smiling.

But if you look closely at his eyes. You can feel it. A touch of color in the light of his eyes.

"I want to be at the beginning. I heard he was going north. I don't think this person is crazy. Loucang to Hebei. Thousands of miles away. And don't be a lot of hurdles along the way. He migrated with many displaced people. It's simply an impossible thing to succeed. But. Did it. ”

"So. It's time for us to have a headache. ”

Wu Yingyuan narrowed his eyes. He said softly: "Now Liu Junhou is holding 100,000 displaced people. Arrived in Henan. Whether he wants to stay in Jiuyuan. Or to the north of the river. It is inevitable that we will have an impact on our inherent strength in Jiuyuan. Cause a huge impact. Not to mention. He stayed in Jiuyuan. It's definitely going to affect our business. At that time, the two sides clashed. I'm afraid it's not easy to do. ”

Ushi didn't speak. Nod your head slightly.

"Even if he crosses the river and goes north. It will also affect us.

We finally got the support of Maudun. Just wait for the beginning of spring next year. Mao Dun will definitely attack the Yueshi. We took the opportunity to take down the Yueshi. Plus Wang Lijun's help. It will definitely be able to gain a firm foothold in Hebei. When the time comes. Daddy is the founding king.

But Liu came over this time. That's a lot more variable. No, no, no. ”

From Wu Yingyuan's words. Wushi wants to establish a country in Hebei?

Woo smiled. "I'm getting old. It doesn't matter if it's the founding king or not. It's just that I don't want to. Two years of hard work have been in vain. And put on your sister's body. Serving the father and son of the king of the Yue clan. matter. There must be no slip-ups. ”

The Wu clan married the daughter of the king of the Yue clan. The king of the Yue clan married the daughter of the Wu clan. Also father and son.

The relationship between men and women of the Hu people. One is that it is very confusing.

Children for fathers. Things like mothers marrying children are commonplace. How can there be so many sayings?

Ushi itself. There is also the blood of Rong. The customs of the Sohu people. It's not surprising.

He wandered the halls. Searching for countermeasures.

Wu Yingyuan said suddenly: "If you really can't do it." Just take advantage of the time when Liu crossed the river. Please send troops from the Yue clan. with a halfway sneak attack. How is it? ”

"Liu is like a god. It's not that I haven't heard of it. What did he do in Henan back then?

On war. On stratagem. You, I, father and son. I'm afraid it's not his opponent. And he's amazingly powerful. It is known as old. Wanted to kill him. I'm afraid it's not that easy. ”

"Father. Have you forgotten who lives in the East House?

Presumably if he made a move. I must be able to be seven or eight percent sure. ”

"Uncle Nie?" Wu shook his head.

Uncle. At some point. It means to represent brothers. Wu's name is "Uncle Nie". Not really an uncle. It's the "Nie brothers".

"Uncle Nie is strong. But he has a good impression of Liu. I'm afraid it's hard to convince.

And Uncle Nie's closed brother. Now he is working under Liu. I can't convince him. Instead, Liu will be notified. It's unwise.

So. Not only could they not tell him. and set him to take him away.

Kindness. It just so happens that the Huns and we have a batch of goods to trade. Let Uncle Nie escort him tomorrow. Let's go to Hebei and deal with the Huns. ”

"But that Liu."

"Liu's business. There's no need to rush too much. ”

Wu Shi rummaged through two coins made of gold in his hand. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Liu hasn't arrived in Yan yet. Count the arrival of the advent. It will take more than ten days. You immediately sent someone to Jiuyuan Yan and the others. Let out the wind. Let's just say that Liu took the ten streamers. It is necessary to rob everyone of the food for the winter. Etcetera. Anyway, I want to let the people of Jiuyuan County. Became hostile to him. ”

Wu couldn't help but laugh.

"Father. Brilliant plan"

"Besides. You set off overnight. Go to Hebei to find your sister. Let her be among the Yue's people. Choose 100 warriors. Send it across the river immediately

Remember. A true warrior. Don't get me a bunch of foodies who don't know what to do. ”

Wu Yingyuan nodded. He stood up and said, "I'll go out immediately." ”

"That's right. Why hasn't Tingwei come back yet? ”

Wu Yingyuan was stunned. "I sent Yan to find him three days ago. Now the road is closed by heavy snowfall. It's not easy to walk. Presumably Tingwei is already on top. ”

"That's good. That's good."

Wu Shi nodded repeatedly. "You can go. I'll go talk to Uncle Nie. Let's discuss the matter of letting him go to Hebei to deliver goods"

"I'll get out now."

Wu Yingyuan turned around. Strode out of the hall.

Wu Shi looked at his son's back. After disappearing into the wind and snow. I closed my eyes.

"Liu. Oh Liu. ”

He muttered a few words. Suddenly open your eyes. Sen Ran smiled. "You can come to Jiuyuan. Count your skills. Merely. It should be over here. ”

Rummage through the money in your hands. Usss strides. Walked out of the hall.

――――――――――――――――――――

Person. I don't want to fix it.

After it's cold. The electricity seems to be normal.

Kindness. Volume 4 begins. It seems a little astringent. I believe it will pass soon.
