Smiling leisurely, Liang Chongxin breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Let's go, let's go back to Shuangdui City first, I think the mountain pillar should also arrive, when the time comes, let's discuss and discuss, be sure to plan foolproofly, otherwise won't you disappoint the adults?"

"Well, we also have to arrange someone to reconnoiter immediately, although we didn't notice how many people were annihilated here, but we also had to guard against it, I'm afraid that the build-up of such a large army of ours will attract the attention of people with a heart. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" made Fox Wing offer his opinion.

After nearly a year of construction, Shuangdui City is far from being comparable to the big market town of last year, the location of the whole city has moved slightly to the west, and the cheap land that was expropriated at the beginning has skyrocketed several times after only half a year, which has made Lu Man a big profit, and also provided sufficient funds for urban construction.

Although the construction of the city walls of Shuangdui City has not yet started, according to the urban planning, the construction within the city walls has long been in full swing. Most of the well-planned road construction and other municipal facilities have been completed, and the rest is being intensified, but the busiest is not here, but the mansions and giant houses that line the streets of the city, which have been determined to regard Shuangdui City as the only political, economic, cultural and transportation center in this area, and the noble and wealthy merchants of all ethnic groups have spent huge sums of money to buy large plots of land next to the newly built Shuangdui City Guardhouse, which has become the first choice for the rich whether they are doing business or living.

Because this area has not formed a real central city for a hundred years, so the rich and noble people of all ethnic groups have to be content with the status quo, and now it is very different, the good planning of Shuangdui City has greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of the upper class of these ethnic groups, the appropriate concentration of population, the large number of immigrants moving in, and the promulgation of preferential industrial and commercial tax policies, all provide good prospects for the development of Shuangdui City, so the vigorous construction will be carried out.

The camp of the Shuangdui Garrison Division was next to the big battle field, and even though the men and horses of the 1st Division of the Northwest Army and the Shuangdui Garrison Division were stationed, it still looked very spacious, and it was obvious that Helian Bo had obtained better conditions from Lu Man for his subordinates at this point. The headquarters of the division is in the middle of the barracks, and it has now become the temporary station of the headquarters of the first division.

It's already evening, after dinner, a few people have gathered in the war room, here is Helian Bo separately asked to set aside a room, dedicated to military tactics research and discussion, a large sand table in the room will be near the Shuangdui Mansion geographical terrain location carved vividly, this is also Helian Bo learned from Wu Feng, the entire Shuangdui area and even the surrounding areas of the geographical terrain are displayed in front of everyone, above the passes, towns, mountains, rivers, forests, hills, The swamps were all represented, and even the number of garrisons stationed in various places was clearly marked with markings.

Holding a thick cigar in his mouth, Helian Bo took a deep breath, and a light mist slowly erupted from his nostrils, and a faint and unique cigar aroma permeated the room.

"Helian, what's the situation?" Liang Chongxin ignored him, who was swallowing clouds and mist, looking for pleasure, and asked in a deep voice.

"Boss Liang, why don't you let me digest this cigarette after dinner. Helian replied with a grin.

"Okay, let me ask you what is going on?" Liang Chongxin said without pretending to be colorful.

"Hey, I've come back, it's basically the same as what we knew before, most of the armed forces that the Punjabs often come out to loot are the private armed forces of the nobles in their tribes, of course, there are also some regular armed forces mixed in, after all, there are benefits, who doesn't want to? Not to mention that most of those nobles are powerful and important figures in their tribes, and arranging some regular armed forces to suppress the formation is also a trivial matter, and the discipline of these tribal armed organizations is not like ours. With a flick of his fingers, the cigar butt landed in a beautiful arc into the glove basket in the corner.

"What else?" Liang Chongxin didn't raise his head, his eyes only moved on the sand table.

"According to the Insider, there are three main Punjab armies that often harass the five tribes of the Green Sea Marsh, the largest of which is owned by a great nobleman who is second only to the chieftain of their tribe among the Punjab tribes, and they are also the main armed bandits who plundered the Indean caravans from the Hyderabad tribe to Luzon, with about 3,000 men in each sortie. However, these guys are very cunning, they plan and act before they move, they almost never miss, and they have never used a caravan from our northern Luzon region since we took over, and probably don't want to give us a chance to do so. The level of detail in which Helian Bo obtained surprised Liang Chongxin.

Seeing Liang Chongxin's somewhat surprised gaze falling on him, Helian Bo scratched his scalp a little embarrassedly, "Well, this information was not obtained by our scouts, but from the Shuangdui Mansion Intelligence Agency and the Green Sea Swamp Five Clans. ”

Liang Chongxin relieved his doubts and nodded.

"But these guys seem to have been unwilling to admit that the Five Clans of the Green Sea Swamp are under our jurisdiction, so although they have restrained their disturbances since we came, they still come back from time to time, because of the strategic needs, we have been holding back, and have only made a few representations. Ling Fox Wing on the side also added.

"It's a good excuse to pick up the scar in the near future. Of course, the burly man with a fierce face was the commander of the Reading Infantry Division, Shan Zhu, and he also led the whole division from Crater Town to Shangduifu, but in order to hide people's eyes, the Reading Infantry Division was rerouted from Shuangdui Mansion to the south under the leadership of the deputy division commander, nominally for long-distance training.

"Well, there's a good chance, I'm not afraid that those guys won't take the bait. Helian Bo and Ling Fox exchanged a knowing look before saying.

"Oh?" This immediately aroused the interest of Liang Chongxin and Shanzhu.

This is an extremely luxurious mansion, and the carvings of two human heads and winged oxen on the spacious gate are completely carved from white stone, and its richness can be seen. The one-meter-high glazed wall skirt is an elegant pale blue color, and various statues of gods are carved on it, symbolizing that the owner of this house is not just an ordinary wealthy family.

In the depths of the mansion, an obese old man was lying comfortably on a strangely shaped carved rattan table, and two plump girls knelt respectfully beside him, and his hands kept picking up a strange oil that looked extraordinary from the large basin next to him, and carefully applied the oil to the obese old man's body. The old man looked very comfortable, and his bloated face was filled with pleasure, apparently enjoying this unique oil bath.

A servant walked in quietly, and wanted to say something, but when he saw the old man like this, he hesitated again, but the old man with a keen sense had already sensed the actions of the two women who were serving, and gently opened his eyes and glanced at the servant who was waiting on the side, and snorted from his nose with some unhappiness: "What's the matter?"

"Sir, Master Laval is waiting for you outside, he says he has something urgent to say to you. The servant bowed his head respectfully.

"Hmph, what can he do in a hurry?

The servant did not dare to answer, but bowed down and waited for the command.

Ignoring the servants standing aside for a long time, the fat old man closed his eyes and enjoyed the pleasure brought by the massage of the girl next to him, and after a long time, a few words burst out from between his teeth: "Let him go to the living room and wait." ”

The servant hurriedly bowed and retreated.

An hour later, the fat old man who had tidied up his clothes staggered to the door of the living room covered with a soft and thick cashmere carpet, and a tall young man who had been waiting in the hall quickly stood up and greeted him, "Uncle, you are here." ”

Ignoring the young man's courtesy, the fat old man walked straight into the hall and sat down on the main seat, his fat body made him feel tired after walking a few steps, and he had to take a few breaths.

"What's the matter?" took the teacup from the maid and took a casual sip, and the old man asked impatiently.

"Uncle, something good is coming. The young man didn't care about the old man's cold treatment, and his smart eyes showed a cold light from time to time, showing that this guy was not a good person.

"Good thing?!" Glancing at his only nephew, the old man felt a sense of irritability in his heart, if he didn't have no children under his knees, he wouldn't give this guy in front of him three colors no matter what, the Kodra family has only such a successor now, no matter how much work he spends on many women, it will always be fruitless, is this the will of God?

"Uncle, I got the news that in half a month, those guys on the edge of the Green Sea Swamp in the east are going to hold a harvest festival celebration, and I heard that they have a good harvest this year, and several clans have prepared rich items to celebrate and trade. Our people haven't been active for a long time, and now the guys of the Hyderabad tribe are becoming more and more cunning, many of their caravans don't go this way, and even if they go, the path often changes, and it is very difficult to get it, and you don't let us move the caravan in North Luzon, and the people below are complaining. The young man spoke very strategically and quietly expressed his thoughts.

"You want to move the caravan in Northern Luzon? I think you are not living comfortably enough! You don't want to inquire about what kind of goods that Li Wufeng is? That's a wolf that eats people and doesn't spit out bones! It's funny enough that he didn't come to the door, and you still want to fight his idea!" The old man was obviously a little annoyed, and he was very angry at the recklessness of his nephew.

"Yes, so don't we just follow your instructions and never provoke them?" But you also know that we are consuming so much now, if we don't look for a little, it will be really difficult!"

The old man also knows that most of what the young man says is the truth, and he is used to saying that he can endure loneliness, and no matter how cautious he is, he must always pass, and the survival of the fittest is a matter of course, and he can't say that the words of the young are completely unreasonable.
