Chapter 926: Watching and Helping Each Other
The bottom of the Eight Treasures Valley.
The figure of a Fengxiang martial artist disappeared at the entrance of the secret passage and headed for the Burning Dangqiang camp at the other end of the secret passage. When Feng Xiang needed help the most, the Burning Dangqiang brothers lent a helping hand and generously lent Ah Niu 5oo gold and 25oo high-grade Xiqiang war horses. Even if the Burning Dangqiang profited from the expansion of the Harmony Chamber of Commerce, and the ethnic group gradually recovered its vitality, such a effort was enough to make the Burning Dangqiang hurt his muscles and bones.
Mangzhong did not mention any conditions!
You must know that Mangzhong is competing for the position of King Qiang, and it is also a time when a lot of money is needed.
The overall situation of Qingzhou has been decided, Fengxiang's alarm has been lifted, and he came to Liangzhou again, Ah Niu naturally wanted to visit and say thank you to Mang Zhong and others in person.
With the friendship between the two sides, it is naturally okay for Ah Niu to go directly through the secret passage, but considering the subtle shape of the Qiang world at present, Ah Niu still chose a more secure way. From Cheng Gongying and others, it was learned that in order to compete for the position of the next king of Qiang, the burning of Dangqiang, where Mangzhong is located, and the Gongtang Qiang, where the current king of Qiang, are almost in fierce competition, and some ethnic groups that support the king of Qiang have been talking about the economic miracle of burning Dangqiang, and they are secretly accusing Burning Dangqiang of secretly smuggling with the secret passage of Babaogu, and asking Burning Dangqiang to evacuate from the current station.
Dragon Fei has always been the most mysterious territory in the minds of players, and there is no one.
It is a fact that the outside world said that Long Fei was Fengxiang's special territory, and after the secret was revealed, there were many hindsight and opinions to show his wisdom and foresight. On the forum, "Long Fei and Fengxiang Top Ten Connections", "Ironclad Evidence: Zheng Aniu is the Lord of Long Fei" and other posts have a high click rate, thorough analysis, and meticulous argumentation, even A Niu himself has to admit that it is justified and well-intentioned.
Ah Niu's attitude towards this is that he neither admits nor denies it, and guesses casually.
Fengxiang's current shape shì. is very different from before Zang Hong's decisive battle, Ah Niu no longer needs to use the name of Long Fei to let the hostile forces cast a rat bogey, and now Fengxiang City has enough self-confidence and self-preservation power. Because of this, Ah Niu took the initiative to uncover the bottom of Long Fei, which lacked motivation.
Ah Niu will not deliberately hide the fact that Long Fei originally belonged to Fengxiang, and Long Fei was already a fourth-level city. After completing the necessary upgrade equipment, it is inevitable to be promoted to the first-level capital. And the player's territory must occupy the famous city to advance to the capital, and Ah Niu has no way of knowing whether the special territory will also follow this rule, but in any case, the system announcement will inevitably appear when occupying the famous city. It is said that Long Fei has been followed by countless players. Even if he was unknown before, it was impossible to hide his origin when he was promoted to the capital.
With Cheng Gongying and the others inspecting the three-dimensional defense system of Babao Valley again, Long Fei's combat readiness did not slacken, which made a certain city lord quite satisfied.
A few people walked slowly, and Ah Niu asked, "How is the reorganization of the Liangzhou Chongbu Battalion progressing?" ”
Ma Wan, the former commander of the Liangzhou Chongbu Battalion, replied: "The reorganization of the Chongbu Battalion is just a change of name and is classified into the battle sequence of the Shanzi Battalion. The reorganization was completed on the same day that the order was received. However, the original Shanzi battalion suddenly changed from light infantry to heavy infantry, and the soldiers needed more time to adapt to the changes brought about by the increase in rank and strength. Please rest assured, after the promotion, the brothers will be more energetic, everyone will train hard, and they will never fall into the prestige of the Fengxiang Army! ”
Cheng Gongying also said: "Speaking of which, we have to thank Zang Hong for admitting that the lord is the prime minister of Qi, but he refuses to return it because Linzi is the state capital." The lord had to designate another Qi State Governance Office, and it happened that Fengxiang City met the conditions. If it weren't for that, our Shanzi battalion wouldn't have been able to take the opportunity to advance to the ranks of the heavy infantry! Zang Ziyuan still did some good things. ”
The crowd burst into laughter.
Ah Niu smiled lightly: "Long Fei occupies a favorable location, the defense system is formed, and there are thousands of well-equipped heavy infantry to guard, although it is not enough to expand and forge ahead, Bao Long Fei should be able to do it." ”
Cheng Gongying said quietly: "Very much." If you want to talk about the battle in all directions, you have to look at the cavalry. “
Ah Niu stopped and said, "You are reminding me to forget the Thunder Ride and be upset for Li Jin." ”
"The subordinates don't dare!"
"Li Jin...... There are unstoppable tiger generals. Since joining the territory, I have been born and died many times, brave and loyal, brilliant in battle, and the founder of Long Fei, how can I forget, I can't forget...... In order to make the Thunder Cavalry a strong soldier comparable to the Flying Wing Battalion, he took his sons into the Huns, and the last time he was unfortunately ambushed and besieged, leading his troops to fight bloody battles for eight days, crossing most of the Hun grassland, running out of ammunition and food, but still fighting bravely, the intestines fell out of the knife in the abdomen, he didn't snort, hastily bandaged it with his clothes, and then fought......"
"When we arrived, Li Jin was seriously injured and dying, and he still had his last breath left, and if we were one step late, if Zilong didn't have a life-saving elixir on him, he would be finished...... In the history of Fengxiang's war, the tragedy of that battle can rank among the top three, and in the end, only 4o of a thousand thunder cavalry survived, and the thunder cavalry finally broke out of the cocoon into a butterfly after this battle, and promoted to a special class, Fengxiang finally had a powerful heavy cavalry. “
Ah Niu fell into the memories of the past and told the story.
With his voice, Cheng Gongying and Ma Play looked as if they had traveled through time and space, returning to the grassland full of blood and slaughter. They were also military generals, they could fully feel the situation of Li Jin's department at that time, before the promotion, the Thunder Cavalry was not the opponent of the Hun cavalry at all, they were isolated and desperate to flee, but they held on for eight days, fighting with the Huns for thousands of miles.
Li Jin almost single-handedly led everyone forward!
Later, I learned that Li Jin had been injured and broke two ribs as early as the first breakthrough and fell from his horse! Every time he swung the whip after that, Li Jin had to endure great pain, he was like an iron god of war, and his double whips would always guide everyone in the direction of breaking through!
"Rushed to Tucheng and saw Li Jin dying, I can't wait to be injured, and I am willing to spend any cost to save him, any price."
Ah Niu's gaze softened: "You all feel that Li Jin is wronged, and so do I." ”
"However, when I came back, I had to punish him."
He was a good general, fighting to the last moment of his life to protect his brothers, but no matter what his original intentions were, that time his private actions made nearly a thousand soldiers lose their souls in a foreign land, and the lives lost were irretrievable. Feng Xiang has always had clear rewards and punishments, and he has done something wrong. You have to be held accountable. demoted to a deputy general, fined and reduced salary, 200 military sticks, plus the public platform took responsibility for him, and finally saved his life......"
"Li Jin is a man, and if his injury is a little better, he will go back to Liangzhou alone to prepare to rebuild the Thunder Ride."
"After returning to Liangzhou. He did not return home to live with his wife and children, and spent most of his time in the military camp of the former Thunder Rider, taciturn and depressed...... When we fought hard with Zang Hong, Li Jin asked to return to Qingzhou many times despite his serious injuries, but Chen Gong refused to allow it. He thought that it was because of his mistake that not only could he not go to battle, but also that his territory could not use the crippled Thunder Rider who had not had time to rebuild, so he got himself drunk that night and did not leave the barracks gate for two days......"
"I've been worried about his health, but fortunately he's been recovering well," the doctor reported. It can be cured in half a month at most......"
"Well, I heard that the day before yesterday he finally chose a new mount, a big gray horse with a fierce temperament, and he was almost taken off on his first ride, and he was busy running in with the mount......"
"I know all these things."
Cheng Gongying and Ma Wan looked solemn, and the lord's concern for Li Jin was far beyond their imagination.
Ah Niu sighed: "He probably thought I was still blaming him." Actually, there has never been a ...... More than 9oo cavalry were killed in that battle, and everyone was distressed, but if it wasn't for his hard fighting and forgetting to die, the Thunder Cavalry was wiped out last time, how could he have a chance to advance? ”
"He thought I was blaming him, and it wasn't strange. I never spoke to him alone after being punished. I think it's better to let this misunderstanding continue...... He has grievances, at least to prevent him from spending all his time blaming himself, with his temperament. It would have been more uncomfortable, you see, at least his injuries were almost healed, they were so bad...... "Ah Niu muttered to himself.
"Lord!"
Not far behind him, Li Jin's majestic body knelt on the ground, crying silently.
After appeasing Li Jin, the martial artist who went to Shaodangqiang came back and brought back the news that Mangzhong was not in the territory at this time, and learned that a certain city lord could not stay in Liangzhou for a long time, and the remaining Shaodangqiang people had sent people to find it. Ah Niu was not idle, and immediately recalled Da Hei and headed north.
After Han Sui was defeated, Ma Teng took over Jincheng County completely, and his general Pang De was stationed in Yunwu, while Ma Teng himself was still in Longxi.
Longxi Zhisuo Didao City.
Upon learning of Ah Niu's visit, Ma Teng personally greeted him and set up a banquet to entertain him.
"The general still took time out to see each other in his busy schedule, which is enough to prove his hospitality, and such a hospitality, Ah Niu is a little uneasy." A certain city lord sighed, although he said that he was uneasy, he was half embarrassed on his face.
After defeating Zang Hong, Ah Niu, the position of the prime minister of Qi, finally sat firmly, officially became a prince, and intersected with NPC princes with a little more confidence.
Ma Teng's eyes were blazing, and he said with a smile: "There is no need to be too modest, everyone is also Hanchen, Ah Niu is now the prime minister of Qi and the leader of Donglai County, and his official rank and territory are roughly similar." Aside from the official position, Ah Niu's Fengxiang City can block Zang Ziyuan's full attack, Shou Cheng (Ma Tengzi) admired, but he didn't expect Ah Niu to be a hero, just by virtue of this, he is qualified to have a relationship with a certain peer. ”
"General Shoucheng was born in a famous family, and he is very bold, and Ah Niu also admires him very much."
Ma Teng smiled: "We're touting each other, right?" The last time we met, I was busy receiving Jincheng trivial matters, and I didn't care about chatting with Ah Niu, and today I will definitely fulfill the friendship of the landlord. As he spoke, he picked up the wine cup with both hands and said to a certain city lord: "This cup, I wish Ah Niu to be promoted to the prime minister of Qi, and I will do it first!" “
How could the player be afraid of drinking, a certain city lord smiled happily: "!" ”
In the sound of "cooing", both of them drank it all, and a maid had already stepped forward to pour it full.
Ma Teng didn't care about the wine stains between his beards, picked up the cup again, and said solemnly: "The second cup, I want to rebuild Luoyang with a cow, so that the Han Dynasty will not continue to wither." Ah Niu, please drink this cup to the fullest! ”
"Duty!"
"!"
"!"
Ma Teng is the Fubo general Ma Yuan, has always been loyal to the Han family, when the eighteenth road princes discussed Dong Zhuo, Ma Teng is one of them. You must know that his territory is in Liangzhou, Dong Zhuo can't help the Kwantung princes, but it is not difficult to get rid of Ma Teng next to the old lair, but Ma Teng still raised troops, which shows his loyalty to the Han family.
Completing the task of rebuilding Luoyang has greatly increased Ah Niu's weight in the hearts of NPCs loyal to the Han family.
"After Han Wenyue's death, I took over all of his territory, and it seemed to be gaining momentum, but in fact it was full of dangers. Dong Zhuo hated me for begging him with the Kwantung princes, and the Qiang people were not willing to fail, seeing Han Wen's death, he deceived me into being isolated, and he didn't want to ask for some bargains all the time, although he didn't fight during this time. Skirmishes are constant. The rhubarb crossbow sold to us by the Aniutong Guò and Qi Chamber of Commerce is very useful, and there are also high-grade Xiqiang war horses, and the combat power of our army has been improved, so that Dong Zhuo and the Qiang people do not dare to start the war lightly. ”
Ah Niu said with a smile: "You and I are both Hanchen, and my Longfei City has a lot to be taken care of by the general, so I should watch and help each other." The general is threatened by rebels and aliens, and he should be fully supported in both public and private affairs. ”
Ma Teng was overjoyed. Quickly raised the wine glass again: "Yes, we are both Hanchen, watch and help each other!" “
A certain city lord also got up and said: "The Aniu jurisdiction is all in Qingzhou, and the reconstruction after the war is in ruins, and Longfeicheng has to trouble the general to take care of it." “
"For small things, we also hope to buy a more advanced rhubarb crossbow and a high-grade war horse from Fengxiang."
"Well said. Dry! ”
"!"
After the third drink, the two looked at each other and smiled.
Ma Teng is straightforward and heroic, but he is by no means a simple-minded person, otherwise he would not have become a prince.
Ah Niu is no longer just the lord of Fengxiang, even if he does not count the Henan Yin under his current jurisdiction, he is also a prince with 2o counties under the jurisdiction of the two counties; Maten's forces also occupy two counties. Jincheng County leads 1o counties, Longxi County leads 11 counties, a total of 21 counties, and the number of counties is equivalent to Aniu. However, Ah Niu, who survived the difficulties, won the time for the peace exhibition, which was in stark contrast to Ma Teng, who was always on the lookout for the warlords of Liangzhou and the Qiang people. If you count Long Fei, who is easy to defend and difficult to attack in Jincheng, as well as the unique convenience of Ah Niu's player identity such as not being afraid of death and instant messaging, Ah Niu's status and threat. The shoe is on the other foot.
is as heroic as Ma Teng, and after Ah Niu became the prime minister of Qi, he was a little more afraid of Feng Xiang.
Who knows if Ah Niu, after becoming a prince, will fight Ma Teng's idea?
Long Fei is on Ma Teng's territory, you must know that the princes have the right to expand their territory!
In terms of combat power, the Fengxiang Army is a well-known iron army. Ma Teng's army was also brave and good at fighting. However, in terms of financial resources and equipment, Feng Xiang threw off Ma Teng a few streets! Whether it was out of fear of Feng Xiang's own strength, or the need for external support under the threat of the Qiang and Liangzhou warlords. Ma Teng didn't want to have a bad relationship with Ah Niu.
Ah Niu went to Liangzhou to visit Ma Teng soon after the war in Qingzhou territory ended, which was to release goodwill. The tentative and vague statements made by the two at the banquet just now got the results they wanted.
Ma Teng knew that Ah Niu had no ambitions for Liangzhou and had no intention of being his enemy; Ah Niu also got that Ma Teng would continue to tolerate Long Fei's deposit. There is also the deal of strategic materials that is crucial for Maarten. Although they are not formally aligned, the tone for the cooperation between the two companies has been set, and both are very satisfied.
The atmosphere of the banquet was a little less routine and more casual and harmonious, and the guests and hosts were happy.
Ma also attended as an accompaniment, the famous Jinma in history, just 16 years old at this time, a beautiful young man with a strong body and a handsome face. Although he is young, he has experienced the baptism of the battlefield many times, coupled with his father's heroic and brave style, his words and deeds almost make people forget the fact that he has just become an adult. During the banquet, Ma seemed to be very interested in a certain city lord and kept looking.
The reason is simple, curious.
Ma Yongguan three armies, although he has just come of age, he will not fall behind in the fight with Ma Teng's general Pang De. However, Pang De was defeated by Li Jin in the first battle of Bishui Pass, and Han Sui attacked Long Fei before, Pang De led his troops to support, and retreated without a fight in the face of Li Jin, but the young horse was somewhat resentful, which seemed to damage the honor.
"I really want to fight that Li Jin to see if it's really as powerful as the legend!"
"I heard that Zhao Yun, the fifth brother of Qi Guoxiang, is stronger, but I don't know if it's true or not......"
However, Ah Niu was Ma Teng's guest, and Ma didn't dare to squeak no matter how itchy he was, so he just drank a few drinks with a certain city lord and hurried up.
Before leaving, Ah Niu asked Ma Teng about the export of silk.
Historically, Zhang Qianci of the Western Han Dynasty opened up trade routes, and then was interrupted by the Huns' attack on the Silk Road, until the Eastern Han Dynasty opened up and extended the trade route again, and China's export goods were most representative of silk, which was exchanged for fur, jade, jewelry and spices, which was the famous Silk Road.
In the game, the player's territory can only produce silk when it reaches the third-level township, and when the silk production reaches a certain scale, Dong Zhuo chaotic power and directly led the siege of the Kwantung princes, Dong Zhuo finally moved the capital to Chang'an with the Son of Heaven to avoid the edge of the princes, and the two sides did not win or lose. Although the war stopped, Dong Zhuo, who owned most of the Yong, Liang, and Si Li, did not change his hostile position with the local princes, and the Kwantung princes, who were rich in silk, obviously would not hand over the silk to the imperial court controlled by Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo's control of the zhì area was not the main production area of silk, and the previous practice of the imperial court purchasing silk for export could not be sustained.
In addition, in addition to Ma Teng's mismatch behind Dong Zhuo, the weakened Han Dynasty also lost actual control over the Western Regions, and for various reasons, the Silk Road was finally cut off.
The silk produced by Feng Xiang is now piled up in several warehouses, and the inventory of silk in its ally Maple Leaf City is even more exaggerated. Now that he has a good relationship with Ma Teng, and his special territory is in Liangzhou, Ah Niu naturally wants to try it to see if there is a possibility of reopening the Silk Road.
"If the Silk Road can be reopened, I believe that the general can also benefit from it, in troubled times, recruiting troops and buying horses, everything needs money."
Ma Teng was obviously moved, but finally shook his head and said: "Don't hide it from Ah Niu, I also hope that the Silk Road will be reopened, but what is the difficulty of this matter...... My forces are only in Longxi and Jincheng, and the counties in the north are outside the range of my control. The biggest problem is still the Western Regions, our Han Dynasty has been in turmoil in recent years, and many countries in the Western Regions have taken refuge in the powerful Huns, and it is not easy to reopen the Silk Road! ”
Ah Niu also knew that this thing could not be done by Ma Teng, and if he wanted to turn the silk in the warehouse into money, he had to find another way. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation!
