Chapter 209: Exchanging Territories
Chu Zheng gave the big tent to Zhou Xuanfeng and others to discuss, and he took Chu Junsheng out of the big tent, and then the two flew into the air.
At this time, there were already a group of people standing in the sky, including Danshi Wang Feng, array mage Li Changqiu and Li Xingzhou, and Duan Yi, the commander of the personal guards, Wang Xiuyan, Ruan Cheng, Shen Wanqing, Chu Guanlan and Chu Qingsong, and one person was Liu Qingyan.
"Qingyan, you're here too. Chu Zheng saw Liu Qingyan smile knowingly.
Liu Qingyan smiled, "I'll come to see you." ”
Facing Liu Qingyan's smile, Chu Zheng felt a little warm from the bottom of his heart. However, this time is not the time for small talk, Chu Zheng pointed to the ground under his feet and said: "This piece of land will be the foundation of the Great Zhou's attack on Western Vietnam in the next ten years, and it will be an important hub in the next hundred years." Now that this land is occupied by us, everyone has their opinions. Let's see how we build it. ”
The crowd scratched their heads. Even Chu Junsheng and Liu Qingyan, who were the most capable, had black eyes, because no one understood at all.
Chu Zheng was also a little stunned. If you still have these fantasies in your heart when you occupy this tribe, fantasizing about building your ideal home, when you actually want to build it, you will find that it is really a thousand things.
"I've almost prepared all kinds of talents in the Lancang Plain, but they won't arrive until a day. At this time, Liu Qingyan glanced at Chu Zheng charmingly, and then said.
Chu Zheng pinched his nose a little embarrassed, "Then let's determine some planning and layout first." I'll start with my thoughts. The Lanbian tribe station under our feet has five spiritual veins, and the grade is also very average. I'd like to set up another huge Gathering Circle here. Usually our people gather here to live. Outsiders are not allowed to enter this area. ”
"Inside these three hills, hundreds of retreat rooms will be established, and I will set up a more powerful Spirit Gathering Array, and in the future, if someone wants to break through the realm, they can retreat here. Of course, the same is true for the top of the hills. ”
Duan Yi kindly reminded: "Dutong, this won't affect the big array." ”
Li Xingzhou replied: "It will not affect the big array." However, the perimeter also needs to be protected, although it is less important, but the destruction of people will also reduce the coverage of the large array. ”
"In that case, it's better to use all the areas within the scope of the large array as our station, and not allow outsiders to enter. ”
"No, I can't. The mountain road from Lancang Pass must be unblocked, and the road will inevitably pass through a large array, so it cannot be restricted. ”
"No one else will allow us to restrict it. The point is that it can't develop here after the restrictions. ”
The crowd discussed in the sky for about an hour, and finally decided on the general plan and layout. As for the specific and detailed planning, it is necessary to wait for professional talents to implement it.
Then Chu Zheng personally went into battle and flew out more than ten miles with everyone, and began to dig up rocks on the slopes of the south bank of the Lancang River.
The rest will have to wait for the professionals to come and confirm, and there is a task that can be started now. For example, the place where they dug up the rocks was already outside the scope of the Great Array. Here they will build a market town, the edge of the market town across the Lancang River, halfway up the mountainside will be a large number of buildings, here will be set up by Chu Zheng to gather the spirit array, rented to people who come here. And whether it is a station, a road, or a market town to be built, a large number of stone bricks will be needed.
Each piece of mountain stone was cut into a foot long and a foot wide and three inches thick with a magic instrument, and thousands of people worked together, and the bluestone slabs were transported to the other side of the river, and the gentle slopes like terraces on the hillside gradually took shape.
When you are tired, or your mana is exhausted, you go to recover and rest, and you go to eat. After recovering, he continued to work.
By noon the next day, it was unknown how many stone bricks had piled up on the riverbank.
At this time, a long convoy emerged from the Lancang Gorge and entered the territory of the Lanbian tribe. Chu Junsheng had already anticipated the development of the war after Li Tingzhao left that day, so he informed Liu Qingyan in advance to make preparations.
Now the seven or eight thousand people recruited by Liu Qingyan have settled in the Lanbian tribe.
The Lanbian tribe occupies important land, with a total area of about 6,000 square miles. The territory includes mountains, lakes, rivers, hills and plains, and although there are no minerals, it is rich in vegetation and abundant products. There is no problem in feeding hundreds of thousands of people. It's just that the internal struggle within the West Vietnamese group has always been fierce, and the productivity is backward, and the number of personnel has not been improved.
Liu Qingyan took personnel and a large number of materials, counting these people as one village per thousand people and placing them in eight places, while Chu Junsheng brought a large number of professionals to make detailed plans.
At this time, Zhou Qian and Ouyang Lifan teamed up to find Chu Zheng.
Chu Zheng quipped: "You have been discussing long enough. ”
Zhou Qian stretched out his hands, "No way." Halfway through, I also found a staff member to discuss together. ”
"Deliberation came and went, and in the end it became a division of interests. Ouyang Lifan also spread his hands helplessly, "More than 30 people have discussed together, what can they discuss? ”
Chu Zheng rejoiced: "Thanks to my wisdom. ”
The two of them gave him a roll of the eyes, and Chu Zheng smiled: "Don't talk about it." Isn't there Zhang Xianju here, why can't it be straightened out?"
Zhang Xianju's ability Chu Zheng could feel something, and he had the ability to straighten it all out.
"Don't stand and talk without back pain. Zhou Qian pursed his lips angrily, "I am soft-spoken, Zhang Xianju is very capable, but he is dragged down by me, and he himself is not famous." In addition, these people are jealous of my royal family, and the result needs to be said!"
Chu Zheng smiled silently.
Ouyang Lifan looked at Chu Zheng with a smile, "Brother, you don't have anything to say to me?"
Chu Zheng was slightly stunned, and after thinking for a moment, he knew in his heart.
On the south bank of the Lancang River, there are thousands of mountains. But there is a gap, and extending inward is a basin. There were eight small tribes in the basin, of which Ouyang Lifan occupied five, and he didn't move the remaining three, and he also sent someone to inform the three tribes, saying that someone would come to receive them. In fact, these were everyone's intentions before the battle of Xilancang Pass began. Originally, these things can be taken seriously, or they may not be taken seriously. However, Ouyang Lifan still left the three small tribes to Chu Zheng.
Although the scale of these eight tribes is very small, there are several minerals around the basin, and the surrounding mountains are rich in natural resources such as spiritual grass, spiritual plants, and dancai.
However, there is only one outlet to this basin, and it is still within the territory of the Lanbian tribe.
Chu Zheng and Ouyang Lifan cooperated more happily, but there was still a mustard in their hearts, after all, Ouyang Lifan's son was directly killed by Yujing Mansion because of Chu Zheng's remnants. It's just that because everyone is a sane person, it's not good to turn their faces in this environment now, so no one mentions it. But if Chu Zheng directly blocked the exit of the basin, he would really choke Ouyang Lifan's neck. Ouyang Lifan naturally wouldn't let this happen.
This is an awkward situation for Ouyang Lifan and Chu Zheng. The three tribes that Ouyang Lifan left for him were close to the inside, and now it is equivalent to Ouyang Lifan's tribe directly cutting off the connection between these three tribes and the Lanbian tribe, and Chu Zheng must pass through Ouyang Lifan's territory if he wants to go to those three tribes.
No one is comfortable in this situation, but if anyone brings it up first, they will be at a disadvantage in the negotiations, so Ouyang Lifan said so.
Thinking about this, Chu Zheng said: "When Uncle Shi said this, I really have something to discuss with Uncle Shi. I want to occupy all these tribes in the south as my rear. I don't know if the several tribes occupied by Uncle Shi are sold or not, Uncle Shi will make a price, and I will pay you in one lump sum. ”
The old man laughed. Ouyang Lifan shook his head, "For us families, temporary wealth cannot bring us qualitative changes. What we lack is a foundation, and what we lack is our own territory. What is lacking is to allow us to establish ourselves in the territory of thousands of years, not to consume the wealth that is gone. So I have two options here, my brother is considering it. First, it is the edge of my brother's Lanbian tribe, and I bought a piece of export with material wealth, even if it is 500 square miles. The price is out of my brother, and I will never bargain. The second plan is that the elder brother has locked the Lanshui tribe in advance in Yiling Town, and I will exchange the five tribes in the basin for the elder brother's Lanshui tribe. What do you think, brother?"
"Lanshui Tribe......" Chu Zheng carefully recalled the area, landform, and minerals contained in the Lanshui Tribe. Compared with the tribe occupied by Ouyang Lifan, a rough idea has been drawn. On the surface, he suffered a little. But just like the dispute after Chu Zheng withdrew, whoever is in front will have to face the white forbidden edge. It can be said that the risk of occupying the Lanshui tribe is still relatively large. These risks are also more than enough to offset some of your own losses. Moreover, Ouyang Lifan left him three tribes in the basin, which is righteous enough, and Chu Zheng can't understand the sophistication of people.
Chu Zheng arched his hand and said, "Uncle Shi, I agree with this plan." But there are still some issues that need to be addressed. For example, I promised the Lanshui tribe that I would not take the initiative to attack them, and that I would guarantee their lives......"
"You take all the people from the Lanshui tribe with you. Ouyang Lifan replied immediately. What is lacking in the family? What is lacking is territory. There is no shortage of spiritual stones, wealth, minerals and the like, and there are more people. As long as the people of the Lanshui tribe withdraw, Ouyang Lifan will be able to fill 10,000 people in immediately.
"Okay, Uncle Shi will take over the Lanshui tribe in a month. ”
Ouyang Lifan didn't expect Chu Zheng to agree so happily, and laughed: "Brother is refreshing, it's so decided!"
Zhou Qian showed a faint smile and said, "In this way, my dynasty can also traverse the east and west." At that time, I promised the two of you to separate you from the other sects. But now the Lanshui tribe is here to be the head of the Ouyang family himself. Then there is the east side near the Sunset Mountains, and the west side of the Shanghe tribe they won't give us. I hope you will forgive me. ”
Chu Zheng and Ouyang Lifan exchanged a few polite words. After all, the royal family did their best.
The two returned to the royal tent to continue arguing with everyone, and Chu Zheng instructed one of the Zhuji guards who handed the jade plate behind him: "You immediately report this information to the others, and then take a few other Zhuji guards to inform the Lanshui tribe to move today in a month." Otherwise, there will be no mercy!"
