Of the counties of Liangzhou, only Wudu County borders the Guanghan vassal state of Yizhou. And between Wudu and the subject state of Guanghan, there is a mountain barrier. This mountainous area is the intersection of Nanshan (Qinling) and Minshan, the terrain is complex and steep, difficult to climb, and there is no smooth land connection at all.

However, there are two waterways that can reach the territory of Yizhou.

One of them is the Qiang water, which originates in the territory of Wudu, and is integrated with the white water flowing out of the Minshan Mountain, which runs through the mountainous area and enters Guanghan.

The second is the West Han River, which originates in Hanyang Lingzun Mountain, runs through Wudu County, and enters Guanghan in the south.

However, due to the difference in terrain, these two waterways are very rugged and bumpy, and it is impossible to sail at all.

Li Zheng thought for a moment and said: "It is not easy to open up a direct channel between Liangzhou and Yizhou. Although the mountainous area between Wudu and the subject country of Guanghan is only a few dozen miles wide, perhaps less than a hundred miles. But it is too steep, and if you want to build the road by manpower, although it is not delusional, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and I don't know when it will be able to pass. However, it is far-sighted to say this. Sooner or later, Yizhou will be my gain, and in order to strengthen the connection with Yizhou, this road must be built. Anyway, this matter will be handled by Gongda, recruiting slaves to open mountains and build roads, but there is no need to be in a hurry. ”

Speaking of this, Li Zheng paused slightly and said: "As for the current matter, maybe you can make a fuss about the water army." Although the Qiangshui and the Western Han River could not sail, they could not stop the sea and the cavalry. ”

The Battlehorse is not a warship, and it is much more agile in comparison. Even though the waterway was bumpy and rugged, and there was even a waterfall in the middle, Li Zheng still had absolute confidence in the sea-covering battle horse. It's a pity that the Mystery Shop hasn't refreshed the terrain conversion blueprint during this time, but then again, that area is not under Li Zheng's rule, and there is no way to use it if there are blueprints.

When the four people in the hall heard this, they couldn't help but bow their heads together.

Jia Xu spoke at this time.

"My lord, it may not be as difficult as imagined to build a land route from Wudu to Yizhou."

"Oh?" Hearing this, Li Zheng's eyes lit up.

Xun You and the others couldn't help but be shocked.

"The lord may have overlooked the mineral-eating beast." Jia Xu pondered for a moment and said, "Is it possible to synthesize a special war horse that specializes in gnawing rocks and dirt according to the characteristics of the mineral-eating beast?" If it can be synthesized, then it will not be difficult to build roads in mountainous areas! ”

"Shhh

When Li Zheng heard this, his heart couldn't help but suddenly brighten.

Immediately clapped his hands and laughed: "Jia Wenhe is really delicate!" That's right, that's right! ”

Xun You and the others also showed admiration and admiration.

Jia Xu remained silent, his face was indifferent, and he fell silent again.

As Jia Xu said, building mountain roads may indeed be too difficult for ordinary people. But for Li Zheng, it is not impossible to solve.

Even though Li Zheng is the host of the system, sometimes, he still looks at the problem from the perspective of ordinary people, which ignores that the system is his biggest dependence!

Mineore-eating beast!

Isn't it exactly what is needed for mineral-eating beasts to be able to easily break through mountains and open up rocks and mine minerals buried deep in the mountains? As Jia Xu said, if you can use the Mineral-Eating Beast as a blueprint to synthesize a special war horse that specializes in eating rocks and dirt to build roads, then all the problems will be solved!

As a first-order special battle horse, the Mineral-Eating Beast cannot be synthesized as a raw material if it is not upgraded before the system is upgraded. But it just so happens that the system has been upgraded, and the second-order warhorse can now be synthesized!

"Mr. Wenhe will take note of it first, haha, I'll go back to the grassland in a while and prepare to synthesize."

Li Zheng waved his sleeves and made a decision.

"In addition, the navy must also increase its construction efforts. Mr. Gongda, the shipyard business is up to you. The shipyard in Shirasuigawa already has some foundation, but it is far from enough, the scale must be expanded, and the shipbuilding technology must also be improved! As for the technical talents, the scale of Yizhou's naval army is not small, and there must be some merits in shipbuilding technology."

Xun Yu slowly bowed his head.

"Mr. Zhicai, the recruitment of the navy will be left to you. The villages in the counties along the great rivers must have deep water, and they can be targeted. ”

"Honorable Order!"

Li Zheng nodded with satisfaction, and smiled at Jia Xu again: "Most of the Hetao area has fallen into my control, but there are still some of them outside. The intelligence department must step up its infiltration of these counties and counties, and when the navy army grows to a certain size, they will immediately take it down, and use the big river as the line of defense and the navy army as the shield. ”

There are Shang County, Xihe County and Shuofang County in the prefecture within the scope of the Hetao. At present, Shuofang County has been mastered by Li Zheng Most of the area, only Shangjun and Xihe County are still in the hands of the Huns. As long as the naval army achieves a certain scale and takes these two counties, the Huns on the left can only withdraw from the Hetao. There was a naval army blocking in the big river, and the Huns were helpless.

When Jia Xu heard this, he nodded and took the order.

As soon as the discussion was settled, Xun You and the others retired and went to their own business, and Li Zheng left the state pastoral mansion and prepared to return to the Shenzhou pasture.

Riding Qingyun, Li Zheng slowly walked out of the city.

On the street, it was bustling with people, merchants and farmers, shouting, noisy, and lingering. It's bustling.

Coming out of the north gate of Lingzhou, a brand-new building stands beside it.

This is the headquarters of the Mercenary Union.

Next to the headquarters of the Mercenary Guild, there is also a huge building that is no less large than the Mercenary Guild. After receiving three official tasks, the mercenaries from all over the country will return to the local union branch and report to the local trade union branch, and then they will transport the captured wild animals and collected medicinal herbs here and store them in this building.

For this reason, the mercenaries called this building Okura.

When the beast herbs in the large warehouse are hoarded to a certain extent, they will be transported to the Shenzhou grassland, or imprisoned in the animal taming field, or transplanted into the medicine field.

Since the mercenary union opened for more than a month, a batch of wild animals and medicinal herbs have been transported to the Shenzhou grassland, and the harvest is not abundant.

On the avenue outside the city, people come and go. Most of them are mercenaries armed with swords. They either drove the carriages carrying iron cages, or drove a wild beast that had lost its temper, or carried a basket of herbs on their backs, laughing and scolding.

Li Zheng looked at these scenes, couldn't help but smile, flicked the horsewhip, Qingyun quickened his pace and galloped away.

In my ears, I seemed to hear the exclamations of the mercenaries: "That's the Qingjia War Horse!" ”

Back at the Shenzhou grassland, Li Zheng summoned Zhao Wu, ordered to prepare a dry raw material, and went straight to the war cavalry hall.

This time, the synthesis of the first type of second-order warhorse is the first task. Secondly, it is necessary to consume all the first-order warhorse raw materials that have been accumulated.

In the operation room of the war riding hall.

Li Zheng clicked on the operation light curtain, and all kinds of information were revealed.

The money consumed by the system to synthesize the Warhorse comes from the basic mission. Basic tasks are related to territory building. Every time a house is built, every road is built, there is a certain amount of money rewarded.

Look at the packages, which have accumulated more than four million gold, and the numbers are rising!

More than four million gold, it looks terrifying, but Li Zheng doesn't care at all. It seems to be a huge wealth, but one cannot be taken out and used, and the two are synthesized into war horses and consume a huge amount, and this money is not in Li Zheng's eyes.

Regardless of success or failure, the first-order warhorse consumes 1,000 gold to synthesize once. At least half of all the war horses under Li Zheng's command are synthesized from the Tong Guò war horses, and at least more than two million gold have been consumed here, which is not a failure.

And what about the second-order warhorse?

Li Zheng took his breath and clicked on the battle horse synthesis option.

Five thousand gold!

Li Zheng couldn't help but be speechless, the second-order battle horse was combined once, no matter whether it succeeded or failed, it would cost five thousand gold!

Pit!

Sighing slowly, he browsed all kinds of information again, and after a while, Zhao Wu took the people from the beast taming field to transport all kinds of raw materials to the war riding hall in a steady stream.

First of all, the raw materials of the five main battle horses related to the Qingjia War Horse, the Blade Destroying War Horse, the Mountain Wolf Horse, the Golden Wing Tiger Horse, and the Pig Po Dragon Horse enter the synthesis option.

In just half an hour, a total of more than 100 various war horses were born, which were led away by Zhao Wu.

Subsequently, the first second-order warhorse was synthesized.

With the mineral-eating beast as the mother, Li Zheng added some wild things that specialize in eating soil or can break through mountains and rocks as a secondary body, but he got a hint that the formula did not meet the requirements.

Li Zheng frowned, and couldn't help but think of the synthesis rules of the second-order battle horse.

It must be made of first-order warhorses or special species!

Thinking of this, Li Zheng couldn't help patting his head.

It's because I want to go wrong, and I still use the habit of synthesizing first-order war horses!

The Mineral-Eating Beast is a first-order warhorse and meets the requirements. But the secondary body did not meet the requirements, which made Li Zheng in a dilemma.

After pondering for a moment, Li Zheng immediately ordered the attendants waiting outside the operation room to immediately prepare some of the wild things that the mercenary union transported over last time, and try it first.

A moment later, according to Li Zheng's request, the animal training ground successively transported some samples of all kinds of strange wild animals.

"Let's get started!"

Li Zheng said: "Take the mineral-eating beast as the mother, and try each of the other samples once!" ”

When the waiter outside the operation room heard this, he immediately agreed.

The first thing to put in the secondary body turned out to be a chameleon.

Li Zheng couldn't help but be stunned, clicked on synthesis, but he didn't expect it to be successful!

Taking a closer look at the characteristics of this new war horse, Li Zheng couldn't help but be speechless. The newly synthesized warrior did not inherit the characteristics of the Mineraleater, but inherited the color-changing characteristics of the chameleon!

Completely useless, destroy!

However, although this kind of war horse is useless, it gave Li Zheng some inspiration. He finally had an understanding of the special aspects of special war horses.

The chameleon's ability to change color turned out to be a special ability.

This ability gave Li Zheng the idea that he might be able to apply it to the main battle horse - to synthesize a war horse that can change color, specifically for ambushes!

This idea disappeared in a flash, and it was buried in Li Zheng's heart. Now, what he has to do is to synthesize a special battle horse that specializes in opening mountains and breaking roads, and as for the main battle horse, he will talk about it later.
