Chapter 382: The strength is weak and the responsibility is heavy for a long time (2) Accumulating strength in the vast expanse
"In the year 1668 of the Great Calendar and the 903rd year of the founding of the country, our army was defeated, and the king was exiled to the vast land by thieves, and he emigrated with his family and cronies, from Lugro to the east, through the Frank Pass to the vast land. The vast expanse was the eastern wilderness of the Maiskarin Lands, sparsely populated, rife with thieves, and often infested by mobs and Huron barbs, with only the two main cities of Sarasi in the north and the foothills in the south being taxed. ”
The king migrated here, but the thief governor Dama IV still refused to let go, and vowed to move the king to the east of Salasi. The virtuous minister Xiuge, although he was a relative of Dharmar IV, understood the righteousness, and entered the capital to persuade him, and the king temporarily resided in Salasi. ”

When Kejie IV negotiated with the rebels, they agreed that if the Delian family gave up resistance, they could collect their wealth and move to Sarasi, but the news that the Delian family and their servants had just moved to Sarassi and let them continue to roll further east spread everywhere.
Compared to Lugro, Sarasi was desolate enough, and if he were to be exiled further east, it would really cost the Delian family their lives, and there were only piles of villages to the east, and there was no main city at all.
In the end, as the only one of his subordinates who could talk to the Ross family, Xiuge was ordered to go to Lugro to negotiate with Dama IV, and the two sides exchanged their hearts and asked each other what their attitude was.
After traveling all the way to Lugro, Xiuge found that this suggestion was made by other nobles, and tried to beat the water dogs. Xiuge remembered that the nobleman who made this suggestion belonged to a family that was not in harmony with the Ross family, so he had the bottom in his heart and guessed this matter thoroughly. Since it wasn't Dama IV who wanted Delos to continue rolling east, it would be easy to settle.
"Xiu Ge entered the curtain drinking, laughed loudly, the governor of Dama IV doubted, asked what he meant, Xiu Ge replied: 'The governor is wrong! The Governor was astonished: 'Brother, please say, what is the word of light and darkness?' Xiu Ge sat down and said solemnly: "The Governor has made a covenant with the old king to move to Sarasi, which is the decision of the Governor." Today, there is a thief who speaks wildly, ordering the old king to migrate to a farther place, the yang is to destroy the majesty of the old king, and the yin is to destroy the covenant of you, so I said that the governor is wrong. ’”
"The governor is puzzled: 'This yang is easy to understand, but what does yin mean?' "The covenant of Salassi was made by the governor, and it should be the guarantee of the governor, and now the thief has not passed through the governor, and he has written a book to discuss it, and this intention is to overturn the covenant of the governor, and it is not known that the covenant of the governor can be overturned today, and the covenant of the governor can be overturned tomorrow. ’”
After hearing this, the governor changed his color, bowed and thanked him, and wanted to keep Xiu Ge inside, but Xiu Ge excused himself, saying that people should not be untrustworthy, so he left Beijing that night. The governor said: 'The sage is planted, the wise man is good, I can't do it, and I regret that I didn't leave it at the beginning.' ’”

After persuading Dama IV, Xiuge did not even rest, and left Lugro directly that night, and the reason why Xiuge walked so fast was because he was afraid of dying of an unknown violent illness.
The reason why Xiuge thought that this incident could easily draw the help of Dama IV was because this time he first proposed to make the Delian family feel that the nobles in the farther place were not on good terms with the Rus' family, in fact, the two families had already clashed, and they only stood together under the banner of overthrowing the Delian dynasty before.
And this time they wrote a book, attacking the Delos family is fake, and taking advantage of this incident to attack the prestige of Dama IV is true. You must know that the exile of the Delian family to Salassi was a promise made by Dama IV to the Delos family. Now that the ink of the promise has not dried, if Dama IV is exiled again, he will definitely lose his trust and leave behind a reputation of casualness and resentment.
Therefore, after the reform was cleared, Dama IV, in order to maintain his prestige, had to ensure that the Delos family remained in Salassi, even though the two families had been fighting each other a year earlier.
After reading this incident, he broke the other party's plan, and naturally he wanted to run away as soon as possible and run to Sarasi, who was beyond the reach of the other party. And don't look at how sincere Dama IV is to keep himself, if Xiuge really stays, both of them will be very embarrassed based on the past of both parties. Xiu Ge has been a human for four lifetimes, and the doorway in this is clearly ruthless.
Upon his return to Moncador, Shuge found that the situation of the Delian family was now rather bleak. The first is that Moncado's environment is very difficult, which is really different from Lugro's, and the second is that the local nobles of Moncado regard the Delos family as a land grabber, and they have no respect for the former royal family.
In this case, many of the nobles who were still with the Delian family left without saying goodbye, and even some slaves found various opportunities to run, and some of them even took some property with them before running.
"Why are there so many fugitive slaves on the border, I know it today," Ke Jie captured a fugitive slave, the angry Ke Jie killed them all, hung on the tree to warn other possible fugitive slaves, after whipping to vent his anger, Ke Jie turned to Xiu Ge, and said in frustration, "I have lived four years, and I have not encountered this situation, and the time is not good." ”
Because there are still some attendants on the field, what the two of them say can't be so straightforward, of course, Xiu Ge understands it, Ke Jie's four years here does not mean that he has lived for more than forty years, but that he has been a human being for four lifetimes, and he has not encountered this situation.
Even in the first life, Kejie's family was in tatters, but at least there was a farm that belonged entirely to him, and now although there was no big name, but the rest of the people, the well-developed area of Sarassi was all controlled by the local nobles, who regarded the Delian family as hungry wolves who came to grab food, and did not cooperate with them at all, so that Kejie had no strength but nowhere to use.
However, Xiu Ge is different, he started in his first life with empty gloves and white wolves, so he said: "Your Excellency Kejie, staying in Salasi now is in vain, and we can only have the opportunity to accumulate strength if we jump out." ”
"What do you want to do?"
"I've been out there for the past few months, and I've found that the conditions in the east are good, and the Salassi nobles want to come to the jurisdiction of the village in the east, and they've been trying to drive us away anyway, so they'll agree. As long as the east side is fully developed, it may not be impossible to achieve a foundation. ”
"Poof~ You're going to the east together?"
"The king made a suggestion from Xiuge that he migrated west from Sarah to further east, but when his subordinates objected, he said: 'Xiuge is a spy of Rus, and now drive us further east, and Rus can rest easy!' The king angrily rebuked this, and summoned Xiuge to argue, and Xiuge debated with the ministers three times, and all the ministers obeyed, and then migrated to the east. ”
"There is no main city in Sarasi, and there is only one town named Crow. The king traveled to Crow, and the executive of Crow closed the city and refused to accept it, and the ministers were furious and wanted to attack the city. ”
"There is a lake in Crodon, more than 100 miles to the lake, called Wuqi Lake, the king settled with Huxi and built Wuqi City. ”
"The king lived in Wuqi City, cultivated acres of land, recruited displaced people, and was the leader of the vast land for a time. The inhabitants of Crow City admired him, so they tied up the consul and begged the king to become the lord. The king refused, and entered. ”
- The Tale of the Kings of Maisica, The New Delos Benji and the Biography of Kojie IV
After driving out Kojie, Archon Crow was deeply disturbed, not because he was in awe of his predecessor, King Maisica, but in the whole vast expanse of the world, he was not inferior to him. But Sarassina was a main city with a large number of guards, and his Crowe was not.
The reason why the Archon Crow did not dare to let Kojie in was not because he was an anti-Dellian, but in fact, he was far away from the Maisca dispute and almost did not participate in the "Anti-Delian War", and Sarasi sent a hundred warriors to the end of the entire civil war.
Therefore, the reason why the Archon of Crow did not dare to let Kejie in was because the number of Delos family accompanying Kejie was roughly the same as that of the men in the whole city of Crow. If they were to be let in, the Delos family would have bad intentions, but it would not be something that the local waste wood guards in Crow could stop.
The father of the consul of Crow was the illegitimate son of a minor nobleman, and he went to the vast land to endure all the hardships before establishing the city on the eastern shore of Lake Wuqi, and in the succession competition, he killed all his brothers and sisters, and if he could not pass it on to his son, then his brother would not die in vain?
Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen Crow's military strength, so the Archon of Crow is ready to recruit some mercenaries. However, in order to prevent the Dells from infiltrating the ranks of the Maisica mercenaries, the Archon of Crow recruited Huron mercenaries.
The source of the Huron mercenaries is the Huron people in the east, the Huron are a barbarian tribe east of Maisica, the equipment is backward and primitive, the clothes are plain, and the body always exudes the smell of jungle dampness, the Delos family can not disguise it at all, so the Crowe Archon is relieved.
However, Crow is a small city, and it is okay to recruit Huron mercenaries for a while, but it is simply unbearable to maintain it for a long time, coupled with the arrogance of the Archon of Crow as a nobleman, as a result, after a few months, he began to be in arrears.
The Delos family had long been eyeing Crow, and when Xiuge noticed that the Archon of Crow was beginning to be in arrears, as soon as he was slightly wooed, the Huron mercenaries defected, and the consuls who should be combined with the outside were tied up, and Kejie entered the city of Crow.
"Let's call this city Wuqi, in honor of the simple dwelling we built a few months ago next to Wuqi Lake," said Kejie, walking down the streets of the city, formerly called Crow and now Wuqi, looking in high spirits, he hadn't been so happy in months, "and finally there is a place that can be called a city." ”
At the back of the team, Ke Jie's imperial historian was writing hard: "The king lives in Wuqi City, cultivates acres of land, recruits displaced people, and is politically harmonious, and for a time he is the leader of the vast land." The inhabitants of Crow City admired him, so they tied up the consul and begged the king to become the lord. The king refused, and entered. ”
While the historian was writing his book, other Delian servants were burning the local archives and revising them to their desired appearance.
"The Divine Realm does not count the history of cities below the main city, even though this is the case, some small towns with a long history and a clear history can still be recorded by the locals themselves and cannot be changed, but here it is different, first, the town itself does not have much history, and second, the town is far from the center of civilization," explained Xiuge, the proposer of the plan.
"Then, I'll use this as propaganda, how wise I am, I can build such a big town in two years," Ke Jie smiled and his eyes narrowed, "and a thousand years later, they will see that the history books are the chronicles of kings, so who will remember that this place was once called Crow?"
