"Is this guy finished?"

Li Mang touched his head, a little annoyed. Those Qin people didn't do anything all day, so they knew that they would use reed poles to make walls at night and plug the gaps.

Winter is about to begin, and Li Mang wanted to take advantage of this moment to grab some supplies from the Qin people for the winter, but they were so unmotivated that he was very passive!

"Chief, the Yu Qing of Shushan is here?"

Just when Limang had a headache, Shushan sent a messenger. Although he didn't say what it was, at this time, Li Mang had already guessed that eighty percent of it was related to the Qin people's feudal monarchy.

Everything in this house was tailored to the people of the Zhurong tribe, and because of this, when Yu Qing entered the place where Limang was, it seemed very small.

"What are you here for?"

The loud voice echoed in the room, and Li Mang sat on the huge chair, looking at the very small Yu Qing below, but there was no trace of contempt.

"A few days ago, the feudal lord of the Qin people sent someone to Shushan to talk about cooperation."

"Cooperation?"

Li Mang's heart suddenly changed, if Shushan cooperated with that Qin feudal monarch, and he could carry it with him here, it would not be good news for Zhu Rongbu.

"That Qin feudal monarch wanted to buy the herbs and brocade we have here, but I refused."

"So, Shushan is now your decision?"

Li Mang keenly noticed a trace of detail from it, and for Shushan, a force that seemed to be a friend and foe, Li Mang's heart was very concerned.

"The Great Elder is in retreat, and the foreign affairs of Shushan are temporarily managed by me."

"That's great!"

Li Mang smiled, his face showing excitement.

"The power of the Qin people has touched my territory, so it is better for Shushan to join forces with our Zhurong Department to suppress the arrogance of the Qin people."

Yu Qing shook her head, as if she had some scruples.

"Don't make a move easily, that Qin man is not easy to mess with."

"Humph!" Li Mang laughed disdainfully, "I heard that you have a child, have you become less courageous?" ”

"I don't approve of dealing with that Qin person, not because of the birth of the child, but because that Qin person is not easy to deal with."

"What's not to deal with!"

Limang snorted loudly and stomped his legs, and the whole room trembled.

"More than seventy years ago, the Qin people destroyed the Shu Kingdom and drove us here; Now, step by step, they are closing in. If there is no movement, we will not even have a place of this size in the future. ”

"Limang, do you listen to me? The divination of the Great Elder? That Qin man is quite difficult to deal with—"

"Enough!" Li Mang shouted, "That Qin man does some strange things all day long? I don't see any difference. If you don't want to take care of Shushan? There is no need to say these words either. ”

"Limang, you have to be cautious? Don't forget what you wish to be guarded. ”

"I haven't forgotten, but if I don't do anything? Wait until the Qin military camp in the Eagle Mountain Stream is built? Then do I wish Rongbu a way out? ”

"Eagle Mountain Stream?" Yu Qing understood the importance of that location, but was a little puzzled, "The Qin army moved so fast, has it already repaired the camp there?" ”

Just when Yu Qing was vigilant? Limang laughed out loud.

"That Qin man is not as godly as you say? Instead, he is a fool. ”

"What do you mean?"

............................

The tents are continuous.

As a large camp for hoarding supplies, it is responsible for the supply of supplies to the surrounding camps.

Things are not going well in Eagle Mountain Stream, and the momentum of the entire camp is a little sluggish.

Zhao Shuang noticed it, but didn't say anything.

Mo Crow stood in the camp tent and told Zhao Shuang in detail about the affairs of Shushan and his party.

"So Shushan didn't agree."

"Shushan is quite closed? Except for the local tribes, little contact with the outside world? He was also quite wary of the Qin people. ”

"Is that so?"

In the past, the Qin State destroyed Ba and Shu one after another, and obtained a huge granary in the rear and a strategic channel to enter the Chu State. Now, more than seventy years later? This grudge has not yet been resolved, even? Still in the hearts of the old people who are still alive? Mouth? It affects the people of Bashu and Shu.

"It's okay if Shushan just doesn't want to have anything to do with us, but if Shushan's forces join the Zhurong Ministry in the fight with us, things will become quite troublesome."

Zhao Shuang came here, and his foothold was not stable. Only by building the military fortress in the Eagle Mountain Stream can we ensure the safety of the land in the rear. Otherwise, if you put your strength and resources into fighting with the local people, you will easily fall into a dilemma.

After all, it costs a lot of money to migrate, and the same goes for subsequent settlements. If things don't go well here, then Zhao Shuang's huge investment in the early stage will be wasted.

What's more, the 100,000 acres of land and pastoral area behind the Eagle Mountain Stream are only a part of it, and it cannot support the 200,000 people. For Zhao Shuang, who wants to build a fiefdom, the rest of the territory also needs to be built, and it is impossible to spend here forever.

"Will Shushan join forces with the Zhurong Ministry?"

"Although the Yi people here usually fight each other, their attitudes are surprisingly consistent when facing the Qin people. For so many years, the Qin State acquiesced in the independence of these forces under the control of the imperial court, in addition to the fact that the Qin army had to face the princes of the Six Kingdoms of Shandong and could not be distracted, their own strength was also the reason. ”

The road from Guanzhong to Shu was very rugged, and the Qin army controlled the plains of Hanzhong and Bashu, and after controlling the granaries and transportation channels, they did not further clear these forces, also because it was too difficult to attack them, and it was not worth spending huge resources to deal with them under the threat of the six kingdoms of Shandong.

What's more, in the continuous mountains of Bashu, it is impossible for the Qin people to migrate on a large scale, even if the Yimin is cleared, it will not take many years, and the Yimin from other places will enter.

"If Shushan and Zhurong converge, then a lot of effort must be expended. In any case, the matter of the king's territory will be delayed. ”

"Indeed, that's why we must build the military village of Eagle Mountain Stream as soon as possible."

Using this as a base and focusing on defense can save a lot of strength and resources.

"Just, will it be that easy?"

When Mo Crow came, he also heard what Zhao Shuang had done, and he also knew that the morale of the Qin army was low at this moment.

"It doesn't matter."

Zhao Shuang raised his head, and saw that the sunlight entering the big tent from the skylight was getting darker and darker, and it was almost night.

"I've prepared some things, and tonight you're going to have them buried under the reed poles. Remember, don't be noticed. ”

"My subordinates understand."

The crow bowed his head, and knew what those things were? When Zhao Shuang ordered them to enter this place, he had asked them to buy sulfur, saltpeter and the like, and he didn't know what to do?

"Remember, don't use an open flame."

"No!"
