About twenty heavy cavalry crossed a sand dune to attack the black men of the Hazra faction, the attack and defense of both sides were extremely fierce, the heavy armored cavalry had the advantage, and the black men knew that it was inevitable, and fought back desperately, trying to destroy them all.

The heavy cavalry also folded a dozen horses, but they were still careful to replenish each enemy with swords and guns to ensure the death of the opponent.

One of the white-clothed knights rode towards Sima Dan and the others, and there was no weapon in his hand.

When he arrived in front of him, the white knight took off his hood, "You are from the Central Plains?" The language used turned out to be the Yueshi language, which has the same root as Otsuki.

Sima Dan was surprised and delighted, "You are from the Great Xia Kingdom? ”

"There is no Great Xia Kingdom anymore......" The white knight's face darkened.

"There's no more Great Xia Kingdom?"

"Now from here to Persia, there are only different tribes, the people of Hazra burned all the cities in order to destroy Zoroastrianism, and in the past two years here and Persia have been bloody, and the corpses are piling up, it is no longer the country it used to be, I heard that in addition to Ctesiphon, many Persian nobles have destroyed the city to avoid being attacked by Hazra."

"Really? Didn't Ctesiphon's dynasty convert to Manichaeism? Sima Dan sighed.

"It is quite possible that the Hazraites had a special kind of fire oil, and if the gates were not opened, they would burn all the cities to rubble with fire, and even the Zoroastrian shamans did not dare to use this oil in this way, because they considered fire sacred and could not be used to siege cities. Every city they passed through was scorched earth. ”

"Fuck, you should have kept some alive just now."

"Who are you? Why have you been attacking the Khazra Blacks for days? ”

"Because I am their enemy, we can be friends, my name is Sima Dan." Sima Dan spoke out the idea of tracking down the base camp. ”

"Are you a Han from Big Moon City?"

"Now it is, I was a Jin person a few years ago."

"I didn't think that the Jin people would come there, is there a war!"

"Jin and Dayue are not at war, and they haven't consulted the surname Gao yet."

"Saif, the great wolf king Kakara, the descendant of Muville."

"The Wolf King is the king of the steppe, and your ancestors fought against the Huns?"

"Compared with Hazra, the Xiongnu are just a small thing, they kill people like hemp, but they can't control people's thoughts, my friend, I advise you to go back to Dayue. There was no one left alive just now because these people would never reveal the whereabouts of their base camp. ”

"They are all the same, the murderous Huns don't care what people think, they will turn their enemies into slaves." Sima Dan disagreed.

"Words are sometimes sharper than knives, and they kill more people."

Sima Dan thought for a while before nodding in agreement, "Your words make sense, people who kill people with words are indeed more terrible than those who use knives, so this is the reason why I am here." ”

"Listen! This is not your war, we white-clothed soldiers are left to protect you, I can give you some food and water, but I can't let you know our whereabouts! ”

"Thank you then, it's best to guide me to Hazra, my best friend killed them."

A huge rock finally pressed against the city wall of Qiuzi, and there was a loud bang.

In the past month, about 20 thousand catties of boulders have fallen into the city at will every day, causing incalculable casualties each time, and the city is in chaos, but it has never dared to fight back outside the city.

So the stone fell closer and closer to the city wall, the garrison under the wall continued to hit, and today, this extra-large boulder, finally hit the city wall directly, the city wall shook a few times, and finally settled, but the gravel dust it emitted has covered the surroundings, people waited for a while, only to see that it is still standing.

But less than half an hour later, another boulder was pressed by a strong wind, and the wall was struck in about the same place, and this time the wall could no longer hold it, and a gap broke out.

Woo! Woo! Woo! The horn sounded in the Great Moon Formation, and the army pulled out and slowly pressed towards the city wall.

At this time, a white flag was raised from the city.

A group of messengers rushed out of the city and went straight to the Great Moon Barracks.

******

"If the Qiuzi people resist desperately, even if there is no city wall and fight a street battle, your losses will be very large, the countries of the Western Regions, as well as the Rouran Xiongnu, strong enemies are waiting for the ring, how dangerous is this!" The envoy of Qiuzi said proudly to Long Er, the leader of the Great Moon Army.

"So you want to enjoy the status of Yanqi?"

"General Long, we want to enjoy the higher alliance status of Jingyanqi."

"The Yanqi people are already the highest level, equal to our Great Moon people, do you want to be above the Great Moon people?"

"Don't dare, we just don't want to pay taxes, that is, the Qiuzi people, as allies, have their own financial rights."

"The Yanqi people have also become the elders of the ruling class, and the taxes they pay are also handed over to their own people!"

"But as a city, Yanqi is paying tribute to Da Yue!"

"Good!" Long Er readily agreed.

"Okay? ......" The envoy of the turtle was unexpected, and he did not know how much eloquence he could not say in his chest.

"As long as you lay down your arms, and we make a victory parade around the city, we will do as the ambassador wants."

"I ...... We're going to make a peace treaty! ”

"Of course! Everything is the same as Yanqi, except for the eleventh tax rate, you can not pay it, when will you lay down your arms? ”

"I ...... We ......"

"Don't you think the victors can't do a victory parade?"

"This ......"

"Or are you afraid that we will go back on our word when we enter the city?"

"No...... Don't dare ......"

"Since you think your demands are unreasonable, why do you put them forward again, and you are afraid that we will not carry them out! Isn't that a contradiction? ”

"We ......"

"In fact, there are examples of Yanqi in the past, you can also see that our commitment to the alliance city is fair and enforceable, and we Dayue people are also willing to implement the peace treaty and accept such an alliance, but if the conditions are not compatible, the Dayue people will naturally refuse, so you are afraid that we will not accept it and go back on our word, why don't you put forward a plan that the Dayue people can also accept?"

"General Dragon...... Our two countries are enemies, can we really become brothers? ”

"Your Excellency, you and I have no grudges, if you don't want to become an alliance, you can also pay military compensation appropriately, we have no ambition for Qiuzi, as long as you open the door to our merchants to pass through and give up part of the profits at the gate, we don't want to cause trouble, the reason why you are allowed to enter the Senate is to give you rights, so, as long as the military expenses and customs clearance are resolved, we will go back in triumph tomorrow, and we will not stay for another day, of course, your 3,000 infantry will be banned in Baiyun Fort, Because we don't want you to go back on our word, if there is a foreign enemy, our army will fight for you with enough military funds! Do you see these conditions are not satisfied? ”

"Long live Helena, the goddess of victory!"

Chen Lihua, Chen Long and Gan Chen, above the gate of Dayue City, watched the army returning triumphantly, passed through the triumphal arch built by the people, and entered Dayue City from the south gate.

At the head of the procession, a carriage with four white horses was occupied by one of the new consuls and the commander of the war.

After the carriage, there was another identical carriage, and on it was another consul, Liu Bo.

In this war, Liu Boke, who was in charge of logistics, had fulfilled his responsibilities, not only ensuring the supplies on the front line, but also the prices in the city were also stable, and the Senate praised him one after another, becoming an archon respected by the people of Otsuki.

However, the most jubilant thing for the people was the statue of the goddess of victory, which was carried by a tall guard of honor and entered in a white carriage with eight white horses, which was a goddess carrying a crown, with her wings outstretched, a sword in one hand, and an abacus in the other, standing on a flagpole several feet high.

"Humph! Even the arithmetic, she also taught the people here. Long Chen couldn't help but sneer.

"Yes, the goddess of victory is not only the goddess of victory, but also the god of making money, the population of this big moon city has risen to more than 300,000 over the years, and it has been attracting more people to come, they are all here to do business, they have paid a lot of taxes, and vigorously participate in the construction, the new city of the east city has almost been built, the west city has begun, when the nine palaces are centered on the old big moon city, it will be several times larger than the old city, it is really a huge courage!" Gan Chen nodded and said.

"Helena, the goddess of victory, that is the incarnation of Zhuge Xiaomin, after two victories over Yanqi and Qiuzi, people have begun to believe that the soldiers of Dayue City are invincible, so this Tianshan North Road, in the future, only Dayue City will be the first, Lihua, you will have to face every day in the future, but the goddess of a hundred battles and victories!"

"Uncle Long, what I have to face is not a goddess who wins all battles, why does she stop there?"

"Huh? How so? ”

"After Qiuzi signed the peace treaty, he thought that he was only open to trade, and he could maintain relative independence, and he also hoped to secretly accumulate strength, and then seek revenge, the so-called Wu-Yue war, lying on the salary and tasting courage, however, the soldiers of Dayue City have not returned to Dayue, and a large number of serfs have abandoned Qiuci and come here to find a way to live, they did not have this freedom before, the farmers here can sell their products directly in the market, and they can go to the city to help when they are not working, and there is a lot of wasteland around Dayue City, as long as these people can channel the water conservancy, Those fields can be rented to them for free, that is, as long as they pay five percent of the rent, which is several times lower than Qiuzi, who wouldn't want to go here? Half of the population in Qiuzi City has settled here for various reasons, and the outsiders that Qiuci originally attracted have all moved to Otsuki City. ”

Long Chen pondered for a while, "I can't imagine that the Goddess of Victory, who has done the way of business so thoroughly, we must buy a piece of land in Dayue City, didn't you say that they want to expand the field as big as eight seats?" We're going to build one of them, on the condition that we own half of the city......"

******

When the triumphant army entered Otsuki Castle, it was welcomed by all the citizens, even the citizens who emigrated from Yanqi were infinitely happy to accept their status as "victors".

The soldiers marched through the streets, and the citizens threw flowers into the air, making a colorful scene.

There is no greater honor in the world than to be greeted by the people's heroes, and the soldiers finally enter the newly built arena to receive the congratulations of the queen Jiabao.

The scene was grand and short.

Among them were the retirement of some of the soldiers who were given a house in one of the outer cities of the Expanded Castle of Otsuki as a reward for their contribution to the country. These people will be exempt from military service unless they voluntarily or if the country is in danger. They handed over the flags to eager recruits and were cheered on by the citizens of the arena, especially the women.

Helena! Helena! Helena......

A shout came from the audience, and finally, Zhuge Xiaomin stood beside Jiabao and accepted their cheers.

"Victory belongs to the citizens!" Xiao Min only said one sentence.

The entire Great Moon City fell into a carnival, and everyone was amazed that there was such a place in the world that could make all walks of life fall into the same celebration.

******

"With Dayue City as the center, southeast, northwest, and a total of eight directions between several directions, each build a city as big as Dayue City, build the east city first, build the west city after completion, and build it one by one, how long will it take for the military division to reach the goal?"

"Shopkeeper Chen, it's not a question of how long it will take to build this city, the question is how long it will take for so many citizens to fill a city."

"The military advisor is clever, but it's a pity that we can't just absorb the tribal population on the grassland."

"Who's to say no? With enough food and communication, anyone can be a good citizen, and I'm not too worried that they still miss the kindness of the former tribal leaders, the Khan. ”

"Sure enough, it is the goddess of victory...... my Chen family has a very large population in the south of the Yangtze River, and they are also very experienced in reclamation, if we immigrate some people here, wouldn't it be very good!"

"Immigrants based on one family and one surname will slow down the integration of the city, and I would rather recruit displaced people from the Central Plains!"

"You need people with knowledge and skills to lead the displaced people to reclaim the land, and you need a way for them to get here safely."

"And you not only have talent, but also trade routes, and it's easier to bring people in like goods, isn't it? Anyway, people have legs, and they can help you work along the way. ”

"Yes! The military advisor is so wise! ”

"I still need food, and it will take about two years for these people to become self-sufficient citizens."

"Of course, food is not a problem, and with their food delivery team, they can also carry more food."

"Aren't you afraid of the rebellion in Qinglian Temple?"

"Afraid! However, there is a way, there is so much grain in the south of the Yangtze River that there is no place to put it, and it can be transported here while making money when it is transported to the north. ”

"Conditions?"

"I'll help you build the North City, and half of the land in the city will belong to the Chen family."

"The northern city still belongs to the city lord's family, how is the strength of the southeast city? A quarter of a land. It's already a lot, and as long as you use it well, it can accommodate 50,000 people, and it can also become a transit point for all your goods. ”

"That's too little, isn't it?"

"Dayue City will build an immigrant city on South Road in a few years, and then give you another piece of land, don't be too greedy, businessmen should know that it is enough to stop."

"Good! A gentleman's word! ”

"Whip the horse!"

The two walked out of a restaurant, looked at each other, and laughed!
