Chapter 65: Temptation 3
Because of the remoteness and barren land, the garrisons of the two cities of Suizhou and Youzhou are not difficult to deal with, but Suizhou and Youzhou are close to the land of Beiqi - the iron cavalry of Beiqi is famous for its ferocity and fierceness.
This starts with the famous family of Beiqi.
The Beiqi tribe was originally a nomadic people, from the leader, the young children who just knew how to walk rode on the back of a sheep, and they could ride a horse to shoot hunting when they were a little longer, so they could be a man and a horse, come and go like flying, and archery on horseback was no different from flat land. At the time of the war, the Beiqi people advanced when they gained something, retreated when they were unfavorable, and they were not ashamed to flee. If they are pursued, they will scatter as birds and beasts, spreading for hundreds of miles, and they will not be able to drive them away. If you chase around, you will be tired of running, and you will become a horse. When the enemy is tired, they will gather again and encircle and annihilate the advancing or lone troops, turning defeat into victory.
Such a cavalry is enviable and gritting teeth.
Murong Chong pondered for a moment and said: "On the southwest border of the Dai Kingdom, there are only two military defenses, Suizhou and Youzhou, which are becoming horns. The Suiyuan army and the Youzhou army stationed in these two cities were not good at fighting, but these two cities were too close to Beiqi. If our army enters from here, even if we capture these two cities, it will definitely alarm Beiqi. ”
Lin Ruo added lightly: "Then what if there is a greater temptation, so that the Beiqi people have no time to take care of Suizhou and Youzhou?" ”
"What is it?"
Before Lin Ruo could answer, Lin Qi suddenly remembered the purpose of going to Daiguo with him when Ji Junyang came back, and immediately blurted out: "Gold mine? Yes, Gold Mine! ”
Everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Qi, who was so frightened that he quickly covered his mouth.
Lin Qian shook his head and sighed softly: "Still so frizzy......"
Lin Ruo covered his mouth and snickered, stretched out his finger, and nodded at him from afar.
Only Murong Chong was confused in the study, but Lin Qi was no better than him, only knowing that Ji Hai and Ji Junyang were busy with gold mines in Daiguo.
"Gold mines?" Murong Chong frowned, "You discovered a gold mine in Danzhou?" ”
Ji Hai smiled a little embarrassedly: "Sort of......"
Ji Hai's eyes looked at Lin Ruo, and Lin Ruozheng smiled faintly and put the quilt in his hand on the table. Murong Chong was calm, but Lin Qi didn't have such good patience: "Second sister, tell me quickly, what's going on?" ”
"Shao Ai, the prince is here, don't be rude!"
Lin Qian lowered his voice and scolded Lin Qi. Although Lin Qi was not very afraid of Lin Qian, he was a little in awe of Murong Chong, and immediately shut up, but his eager gaze did not weaken at all, and he looked at Lin Ruo and hurriedly said what was going on.
Murong Chong saw that Lin Ruo loved his younger brother a lot, and Lin Qi was a straightforward person, so he immediately said, "It's okay." ”
Lin Qi was relieved at this time, and made a grimace at his father without scruples, and then urged Lin Ruo to tell the whole story. There was only a faint smile floating on the corner of Lin Ruo's mouth, and he quietly announced the answer: "Uncle Ji and Brother Junyang built a gold mine in Danzhou. ”
Lin Qi's eyes couldn't help but widen: "Really built a gold mine?" ”
What a lot of gold it would cost!
Thinking of this, Lin Qi, who was the first master, couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
Murong Chong's eyes also had doubts in them, and he stared at Lin Ruo intently, waiting for her to solve the mystery.
"The private agreement between Beiqi and Daiguo has been established for several years. Although Daiguo pinned his hopes on the protection of Beiqi, Beiqi's appetite grew bigger and bigger year by year, and the people of Daiguo did not know the truth and hated Beiqi to the core; And Beiqi knew that Daiguo was rich, so he was naturally not satisfied with only such a small amount of tribute. At this rate, the former covenant existed in name only, and all that was missing was an excuse to tear the face. ”
Murong Chong nodded, Beiqi doesn't care about farming, he can only look at the sky and eat, once there is a famine, everyone will be the victim, so he will be the victim. However, because there is little fertile soil, the grain production is not abundant, but the rich minerals allow the country to exchange for all kinds of corn, silk cloth, utensils, and jewelry. Beiqi is naturally red-eyed.
Lin Ruo continued: "The sparse defense of the southwest border of Daiguo is precisely because we want to use the power of Beiqi to contain Donglu. If the news of the discovery of gold mines comes out at the border between Daiguo and Beiqi, the Beiqi people are greedy and rely on the benefits of cavalry, and the two sides will definitely turn their faces in order to compete for gold mines. At that time, if Zeguo wants to intervene, it will either cross the Daiguo, or bypass the territory of Donglu or Beiqi, how can Donglu directly send troops quickly and conveniently? ”
Murong Chong nodded appreciatively: "Profit is tempted, and chaos is taken." ”
Lin Ruo smiled knowingly. Sun Tzu's Twelve Tricks of the Art of War, Murong Chong should have more experience than her. Lin Qian looked at his niece and Lord Rong, who had a tacit understanding, and the worries in his heart were also put down a lot.
"You picked this place?" Murong Chong turned his head and asked Lin Ruo.
Lin Ruo shook his head and said frankly: "I just set my target in the southwest area of Daiguo, avoiding the throat fortress, and the specific ones are still found by Uncle Ji and Brother Junyang." ”
Murong Chong nodded approvingly, being able to carve out the southwest area and avoid the southwest garrison was already a crucial decision.
"Second sister, how did you build a gold mine? Won't anyone find out? Lin Qi's focus is not on the conquest of the two armies and the world, with his eleven-year-old mind, he is more interested in how to build a gold mine.
"Then you should ask Uncle Ji and Brother Junyang for advice." Lin Ruo turned his conversation directly to Ji Hai and Ji Junyang.
Lin Qi's expectant eyes fell on Ji Junyang.
Ji Junyang coughed and said, "Before leaving, Ah Ruo told my father and me, 'Those who have dansha on the top have gold below; He who has a stone on it has a stone on it, and a bronze and gold one on the bottom; He who has a mausoleum stone on it has lead, tin, and copper below; There is ochre on top, and iron below. 'It would be best if the real gold mines could be found in the south-west; If not, you need to choose a proper place, turn the yellow water into gold water, and then every once in a while, taking advantage of the rainy night, pour the gold water from different places into the holes dug in the ground, and the gold water will seep into the soil along with the rainwater. After the gold water is poured, every few days, sprinkle a little dansa on the soil to cover it with soil. The southwest is dry, the wind and sand are raging, and the dansha is scattered with the wind, so there is no need to worry too much. After going back and forth a few times, it is completed. ”
Lin Qi's eyes widened: "Oh my God, so troublesome?" ”
Lin Ruo covered his mouth and snickered: "Then what do you think is not troublesome?" ”
"Second sister, what you taught me is not troublesome."
After speaking, Lin Qi grinned, very happy. What he said was from his heart, Lin Ruo taught him the speed algorithm, Luban lock, thousand machine lock, nine rings, etc., he was particularly interested, and so did Xiang Xuehai, who connected his hand.
Listening to his son's words, Lin Qian was very pleased, and turned to look at Lin Ruo, his eyes full of love.
Lin Qi has been very naughty since he was a child, and Lin Qian knows it. And because he was busy with business, he neglected to discipline his son, and Lin Ruo was always worried. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Lin Ruo treats Lin Qi very well, and Lin Ruo teaches Lin Qi what he wants to learn; What Lin Qi should learn, Lin Ruo will also use special methods to cultivate his interest, and then teach him. Even the gentleman he picked for him fully took care of Lin Qi's temperament.
