The upper reaches of the Lancang River of the Lanbian tribe are only 20 zhang wide, but the water is turbulent, which is not suitable for building a wharf.

Chu Zheng slowly flew over the Lancang River with the Demon Dragon Horse. There is a ruined wooden bridge over the Lancang River, and on the opposite side of the river is a valley more than ten zhang wide at the bottom, and the valley is flanked by steep cliffs up to 1,000 zhang.

Landing in the valley, Chu Zheng turned over his horse and ran forward along the gravel road more than five feet wide.

After a bend, about seven or eight miles away, the valley gradually widened, and after two or three miles, the eyes suddenly opened up.

This is the Henan Basin, which is as warm as spring all year round.

The orientation of the Henan Basin is northeast to southwest, and the overall shape is an irregular oval, 200 li long, and 100 li wide at the widest point. Moreover, most of the peaks around the Henan Basin are hundreds of zhang or thousands of zhang, and the outer periphery are all tens of thousands of zhang peaks. It can be said that except at the entrance to the valley, it is difficult to climb over the mountains and enter the basin even during the foundation building period. A natural defensive ring is formed here. At the same time, because the mountain peaks are too high, this place is as warm as spring. Therefore, there is not much rain every year, which makes the basin not very dark and damp.

Pacifying the Demon Dragon Pony and letting it stay well, Chu Zheng flew into the air. Perform the spell with both hands, and wipe the middle finger of the index finger of the right hand in front of your eyes. When I opened my eyes again, I saw everything in front of me.

"What a cornucopia!"

Flying on the back of the Demon Dragon Pony, letting the Demon Dragon Pony run quickly along the foot of the mountain, Chu Zheng couldn't help but show a look of joy on his face.

There are eight veins noted in the Henan Basin, including three balite veins and five copper copper veins. However, under Chu Zheng's Wangqi technique, there were fifteen ore veins around the basin. There are three veins, and although it is not known what they are, their sharpness is significantly stronger than the other unmined veins, and even not weaker than the eight veins that have been mined. What's more, in the mountains further out, there are many different mineral veins.

But these were not the main reasons for Chu Zheng's joy.

On the south side of the mountain range, flying south from the basin for more than ten miles, one of the peaks exuded a milky white breath under it, and the breath was very strong, and it was likely to be a relatively high-grade spiritual vein. It's just that the terrain is dangerous, and it is not accessible to ordinary people.

Now Chu Zheng is almost certain that the natural resources here are quite abundant, and they can be used as his rear base. With this place, if you arrange it well, you can lay a solid foundation for your future battles.

Letting the Demon Dragon Horse run along the foot of the mountain, Chu Zheng felt the breath and natural scenery of this place.

On the way, there were also tribesmen here who saw Chu Zheng, but they did not show malice, but just watched vigilantly from a distance. Now everyone in the basin has already known that this basin has been abandoned by the Xiyue tribe, and they can't afford to take care of it at all, and now they belong to a certain force of the Great Zhou.

Coming to the waist of the basin, Chu Zheng's figure moved and rushed towards the peak.

Over a mountain that is more than 2,000 feet high, you will come to the valley between the two peaks. This valley is very narrow, but the valley is full of some low-grade spirit grasses, and at a glance, the length of more than ten miles is covered by all kinds of spirit grasses.

At the root of the mountain, there are some spiritual plants growing on both sides, and some spiritual plants are hanging with various fruits that exude spiritual energy. It's just that because of the topography, almost no wind flows through here, and the terrain is cloudy and the light is not good, so this place has been neglected.

"This place is not very suitable for the cultivation of the masculine strength qigong method, but the Xuantian Nine Turns should be fine. In an instant, Chu Zheng thought of using this place as the station of the personal guard reserve. He planned to subdivide the guards again, and the monks below the half-step innate and realm were all stationed here in the short term, and the cultivation level was promoted as soon as possible.

Returning to the basin and riding the Demon Dragon Pony to continue to circumvent, every tribe that passed by on the way, Chu Zheng would also pass by to observe. It wasn't until I had a general understanding of the Henan Basin that I returned to the Lanbian tribe at sunset.

The rest of the Lanbian tribe had already left, and only Chu Zheng's subordinates were still stationed here. Moreover, the people who discussed the plan yesterday gathered again, and they were all waiting for Chu Zheng in the central tent.

"All of them. ”

Everyone stood up one after another, Chu Zheng motioned for everyone to sit down, then walked to the main seat and sat down, and asked, "What result did they discuss?"

Chu Junsheng took out a table and placed it in the center of the big tent, pointed to the map and said: "None of these people want to occupy a place, and none of them want to go to the front, so they all flash back, so they discussed it for almost two days and discussed a self-righteous division. ”

"In order to protect Chufeng County from threats, and to move the monks stationed in the Sunset Mountain Range forward, they have set a total of sixteen small tribes from us to Hengling. To this end, Trumen will add three Qi Refining Chenggang Elders and three thousand monks to the battlefield in the Southeast Region. ”

"Everyone in the Lanshui tribe agreed to be occupied by the Ouyang family, and the Ouyang family didn't have to pay any price because it was an exchange with Dutong. The Shanghe tribe on the north bank of the Lancang River in the far west was occupied by the Heavenly Sword Sect. For the rest, a total of eighteen tribes were occupied by the Great Zhou Dynasty in the line in front of us, and the Great Zhou Dynasty promised to send 10,000 monks to the front line to assist the frontier tribes in their defense. ”

“......”

Chu Junsheng pointed to the map and introduced them one by one, and more than 30 forces had their own gains. But without exception, the more powerful the forces, the farther the tribes occupied. Of course, these are only intentional battles, and they cannot yet form an actual occupation. For this reason, the six major sects, the two major gates, and the royal family all paid a lot of money, pushing many monks to the front. It's just that although these tribes in the southeast region have been divided into power belongings, none of the Shangyuan tribes near the first-line gorge and the Qujing tribes near Qujingkou dare to occupy them.

After introducing the results of the Lanbian discussion, Chu Zheng did not comment, and smiled at Chu Junsheng. Only the two of them here knew that dividing the army and occupying the tribes seemed like the most reasonable solution, but it was not the best. The result of this is to turn the tide of the war into a protracted war. But this is the best for Chu Zheng, for the Great Zhou royal family, and for the hundreds of millions of people of the Great Zhou. Save these six major sects, the four major gates, and the thirty-six families, and the energy is so strong that they have nothing to do in the territory of the Great Zhou. Let them devote all their energy to the battlefield of the Southeast Regions.

Chu Junsheng took out another stack of animal skin paper, spread out the animal skin roll, and said, "Dutong, this is the preliminary plan made today. Please take a look at them all. ”

On the three-foot-square scroll of animal skins depicts the topographical map of the Lanbian tribe and the Henan Basin. Chu Junsheng said: "My subordinates knew that Dutong was going to the Henan Basin today, but the time was limited, and my subordinates didn't have time to take people to inspect the terrain. This topographic map is found from the canon here. ”

On this scroll of animal skins, the locations of the current eight villages are clearly marked, as well as the extent of the Lanbian market town to be built. The eight villages and market towns, as well as the current core station, are all connected by stone-paved roads. The roads between the villages are two zhang wide, and two of the villages will have roads leading directly to the station and the market town, and such roads are five zhang wide.

Collapse the first picture, the second picture shows the architecture and distribution of the village.

These villages are all built on the plains, and each village has an average of 10 acres of land for 1,000 people, and each person will have a wooden house and a yard for half an acre of land behind the wooden house. Each village has a threshing floor and a large warehouse. The roads in the village are also bluestone paved with a width of two zhang.

The entire village is laid out in a square and is surrounded by a stone wall that is one foot high and three feet thick.

The people of the Western Yue tribe mainly lived by hunting, while the Great Zhou people, who poured in under the occupation of Chu Zheng, mainly made a living from farming. This also provides them with basic safeguards. As for other aids, such as ploughs, farming implements, ox carts, etc., they will take care of it themselves. Don't look at these people as mortals, but since they have followed the army into the Xiyue tribe, the vast majority of them are people who dare to think and do. Chu Zheng provided the foundation, and these people would naturally develop.

The layout of the eight villages is the same, but the market town is much larger.

This market town is located three miles to the west of the area covered by the Upside-Down Array, and the market town is planned as an area with a radius of three miles, surrounded by a fence. There is a square with a side length of 50 zhang in the center of the market town, the square is surrounded by buildings into attics, and the bluestone building on the east side of the square will be the place where Chu Zheng sent people to guard the market town to deal with affairs. There is also a bluestone building on the west side of the square, which is marked as an auction venue.

The roads in the market town are all bluestone roads three zhang wide, in the shape of a checkered shape, and the layers of buildings expand outward.

The south side of the market town is next to a pier. The location of this pier was realigned, and the former pier was completely abandoned.

In order to build this wharf, Chu Zheng will invest a lot of manpower and material resources, and will also repair the river.

Two stone bridges will be erected over the Lancang River, and 100 caves will be built on the mountainside of the stone bridge to rent out a retreat here.

Five miles to the west, there is a broken bridge leading to the Henan Basin. A stone bridge will be built to connect the two banks of the Lancang River. A pass will also be built in the valley on the way to the basin.

Within the precinct of the station, the current royal tent will be abolished and replaced with a council hall, with a thousand attics built around it. Watchtowers will be set up at the tops of the three hills to observe in all directions. There is also a bluestone building on the edge of the station, which is used as a canteen. The whole station building is sparse, and there are not many people staying in it. Only Chu Zheng's personal guards and several major teams can live here.

A ditch runs through the east and west on the south side of the station, and on the bank of the river outside the ditch is a stone road ten zhang wide, connecting the Lancang Gorge and the market town.

There are three barracks in the arc area outside the station, and each barracks has a hundred houses, a huge canteen and a training ground with a hundred feet of side. This will be the camp of the Wolf Tooth Army, and 3,000 Wolf Tooth Army will be stationed here every day.
