If Fu Guoming and Fu Guozhao could make a decision for Su You, they would definitely choose to leave Funing City to Su You.

Funing City was originally separated from Kunchuan and Dali by thousands of mountains and rivers, and they obviously looked at Funing like chicken ribs, if Su You could stay here, it would obviously be the best result.

Because Su You can contain Duan Ruqi's possible revenge.

But Su You chose to live in Nanzhong, obviously not like he blew himself up, just to wait for Yang Guang's anger to subside, the real reason is still dormant, waiting for this Central Plains to be disrupted, so he can take the opportunity to kill back and chase the world.

Since he had just made it clear to Jian Guoming and the others that he would only live in Nanzhong for ten years, he would eventually go back.

Which way do you want to go back?

No matter which way he goes, he can't go back the way he came, not only because of the miasma everywhere, but also because he has already formed a grudge against the bullies on the road.

In addition to that road, the way out that Su You could choose was nothing more than a few big rivers in Nanzhong.

There are six major rivers that flow through Nanzhong.

The northernmost Jinsha River belongs to the Yangtze River water system, and if you choose this land and water, the place to settle is the Central Plains.

The second is the Nanpan River, which originates in Qujing, belongs to the Pearl River system, and flows downstream into the Zuojiang River, the Right River, the Liujiang River and other rivers in Guangxi, and finally flows to Guangdong, Hong Kong, Macao and other places.

The name of the river is Yuanjiang, which originates in Weishan County, Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture, and is named Red River after exiting the country, and flows into the Beibu Gulf through Hanoi, Vietnam.

It is the Lancang River, which belongs to the Mekong River system, which is the sixth largest river in the world, the second longest river in Asia, and the largest river in Southeast Asia. The Lancang River originates in Yushu, Qinghai, flows into Yunnan through Tibet, exits the Mohan Port in Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture, and flows into the South China Sea through Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam.

The waterway, the Nu River system, originates in Tibet and flows through Yunnan, leaving the country through Myanmar and flowing into the Andaman Sea in the northeastern part of the Indian Ocean.

The waterway belongs to the Irrawaddy River basin, and several tiny tributaries originate in the Dehong Jingpo Dai Autonomous Prefecture, which soon leaves the country and enters Myanmar.

Su You obviously would not choose the last two waterways, because these two roads flow southward, and after reaching the sea, they are also the Indian Ocean, and the sea route that will go around back at that time is too far; As for the third Yuanjiang River, Su You will not choose, because the gap between the upstream and downstream of this river is too big, and there are no waterfalls on the waterway along the way, and it is really a big problem whether you can sail safely.

As for the rest of the road, whether it is from the Jinsha River, the Nanpan River or the Lancang River, Su You is probably acceptable.

In addition, resources are also a big problem, Su You is going to stay in Nanzhong for ten years, it is impossible to wait for death here, if you don't prepare advanced weapons and sophisticated equipment, won't you be sent to death when you go back?

As early as when he was in Dali, Su You actually had a plan, and at this time, after listening to the questions of Jian Guoming and Jian Guozhao, he immediately pointed to the map and said, "The place I want to borrow is here." ”

"Dongchuan?" Fu Guoming and Ji Guozhao looked at Su You's fingers and frowned at the same time.

"This is Dongchuan." Su You nodded and looked up at them.

Dongchuan is two hundred miles away in the north of Kunchuan, adjacent to Huize in the east, Luquan in the west, and facing each other across the Jinsha River in the north from Dongxian County, the capital of Sichuan Province, and is known as the "hometown of iron gallstones" and "the copper capital of Tiannan". As early as the Western Han Dynasty, the ancestors used the 'fire and water pouring method' to mine copper ore, and used charcoal to smelt copper ingots and mint coins.

It was only later, as the surface copper mines were exhausted, and the mining industry in Dongchuan disappeared. Since the Southern Song Dynasty, a large number of easy-to-mine copper mines have been discovered. In the Yuan Dynasty, Dongchuan became the only copper producing area in the country. After hundreds of years, until the Qing Dynasty, more than seventy percent of the country's coins were still minted by Dongchuan copper drums.

If Su You can mine copper ore here, I am afraid that he will be able to count the money every day in the future; The most important thing is that it is not too far from the Nanpan River and the Jinsha River, and no matter which road you choose, you can easily return to the Central Plains.

Nanzhong's current currency is still a shell, and Fu Guoming obviously doesn't know the secret of Dongchuan's copper production, even so, he will not allow Su You to be stationed here. - This place is adjacent to the Great Sui and too close to Kunchuan, if Su You is lucky enough to plot to capture Kunchuan, then how can he resist?

If Su You made this request in Dali, maybe Ji Guoming would have agreed, because he was still relying on Su You at that time, and he still needed to be protected by Su You at that time, and the closer Su You was to him, wouldn't it be better?

But now

Jian Guozhao obviously did not allow Su You to be stationed at the north gate of Nanzhong, which would be too unsafe for Nanzhong.

Su You looked at the two of them and shook his head, his face couldn't help but darken, and he could only retreat, "I have another choice, which is Lincang City." ”

For the copper mine in Dongchuan, Su You is not determined to get it, after all, it has now entered the Iron Age, if it is only to mine copper, Su You obviously does not have the legal system to make sophisticated weapons

As for Lincang City, because it is close to the Lancang River, it can also be said that the transportation is convenient, not only is there no pressure to collect nearby iron ore and coal mines; Even if a large ship is built, it can also go out to sea along the Lancang River from the Mekong River, and then return to the Central Plains via Linyi and Quanzhou.

All things considered, Lincang City is the best choice for Su You.

"Lincang City? OK. Fu Guoming and Fu Guozhao glanced at each other and nodded.

"I have a small request" Su You had long thought that they would agree to his proposal, but when he heard them say it in person, he couldn't help but get excited in his heart, and hit the railway while it was hot.

Although Jian Guoming was dissatisfied with Su You's request, because he had rejected him just now, he still inevitably felt a little guilty in his heart, and asked, "What?" ”

"I need to build a new city in Lincang, and I hope that the king can lend me 10,000 people for two months, and I will pay for food and shelter," Su You looked at him with burning eyes, and immediately said.

"This and this." Jian Guoming immediately hesitated, originally his tribe was not very large, and the people he could control were only tens of thousands, Su You's request was indeed a little difficult for him.

"I'll lend you this ten thousand people." Jian Guozhao looked at Jian Guoming in a dilemma, and immediately said generously.

"My people are too few, but I can provide you with 10,000 stone of food!" Seeing that Jian Guozhao had stolen the limelight, he immediately swore and said.

Su You obviously knew that Fu Guoming's food came from Duan Ruqi, and this 10,000 stone grain was not even half of what he had captured.

Despite this, Su You still stood up solemnly and expressed his gratitude to Jian Guoming and Jian Guozhao, and then agreed that the 10,000 people supported by Fu Guozhao would be delivered to Lincang after the New Year, and work for Su You for two months to three and a half months

After chatting about these heavy topics, Jian Guoming turned the conversation to Wang Bodang again.

After Wang Bodang came to Nanzhong, he only experienced two major battles, the first was at the south gate of Funing City to impact Duan Ruqi's fish scale array, which can be described as a brave performance; The second was the final battle against the Ironclad Fortress.

Wang Bodang was the first person to enter the city from the Iron Armor Fort, and he was also the first person to discover Duan Ruqi's surrender.

In the past nearly a month, Wang Bodang and Princess Biyun got along day and night, and they also had some emotions; Jian Guoming is still quite satisfied that Wang Bodang can become his brother-in-law, not only because Wang Bodang is personable and a good leader, but also because Wang Bodang is a person from the Great Sui.

If Uncle Wang became Nanzhong's concubine, not only would the relationship between Nanzhong and the Great Sui be closer, but even if he didn't dare to move Dongzhong easily

The matter of the wood has been completed, Su You and Ji Guozhao didn't say anything.

After the meeting ended, Wang Bodang stayed alone again, and repeatedly assured Su You that he was still a member of the Great Sui; But if Su You has any instructions, he will definitely be duty-bound.

Su You was obviously very satisfied with Wang Bodang's attitude, and only advised him that there was no need to say more, everything was in the wine.

Two days later, the coalition army returned to Lincang City, and the busyness of Su You began.

Su You first ordered the guards, but found that after this battle, there were thirty or forty fewer brothers he brought from the Eastern Capital, plus Wang Bodang brought more than twenty, and more than 100 people stayed in Dali

The guards around Su You were no more than five hundred and fifty people, but fortunately, although Fu Guoming and Jian Guozhao agreed to Su You to live in Lincang City temporarily, they did not take the residents and guards of Lincang City away.

In Funing City and Lincang City, there are more than 200 guards in each pass, and they are all concentrated in Lincang City at the moment, because Su You is stuck here, these checkpoints south of Lincang City will automatically be taken over by him.

Even if Su Youdang used his power for personal gain, he only sent 200 people to guard the four checkpoints in the south, leaving Peng Sheng to lead the remaining 1,000 people to obey his orders in Lincang City. - The first step, apparently, was to take over the fifteen-odd captives.

In the face of these captives, Su You swore and said, "The reason why we started the war in the first place was because of different concepts, you have become a prisoner here, and you probably have the consciousness of being a prisoner, right?" I'm here today, as long as you can obediently do the work of three months here, and when the time comes, whether you leave or stay, I won't stop you from running away if you dare to run away after three months, don't blame me for being unkind! ”

They naturally knew about Su You's methods, and they had to honestly obey him at this time.

After the news of the victory of the coalition forces came, the people who originally lived in Lincang City also returned one after another.

At this time, Lai Yanbei had just completed his confinement, and after hearing the news that Su You was going to take root in Lincang City; Under the escort of more than 100 people including Su Yunfan and Lu Sheng, they came to Lincang City by boat.
