382. Australia

"Report! Letter from Liaodi! ”

Western regions.

The dragoons and the guerrillas, who were hundreds of miles away from Juyanze, received a letter from Liaodi.

It's almost the end of November.

They have to find a foothold in the Western Regions as soon as possible and wait for next spring.

Although the climate in the Western Regions is different from that of the Central Plains, the weather here will drop a lot after October.

Snow will also happen.

In the era of cold weapons, no one would want to fight in the cold winter of Layue, not even these brave men under Zhang Qi.

Therefore, Hu Shui and Huo Quai's plan is to find a water source in the Western Regions and station in the Western Regions while there is still a period of time, and wait until March and April of the following year when the army is full of ambition.

For the former wolf child, the current lord of Wusun is arrogant, Hu Shui and Huo Qubing did not pay much attention, one has countless battles of all sizes, and the other was sent by Zhang Qi to attack the northern court of the Huns, which is not a good master.

"What?"

Hu Shui, who was observing Yutu and discussing with Huo Quai, looked at the herald.

The latter made a military salute and came forward to report: "Liaodi sent a message that the king intends to set the capital, and the ceremony of fixing the capital and the army will be held in Youbeiping in October next year." ”

"What!"

"Your Majesty, this is going to the throne! Good thing, great! ”

Huo Quzhi looked surprised, while Hu Shui was ecstatic.

After following Zhang Qi for so many years, I finally saw the king ascend to that supreme position!

Even though there is only half of this son now, the king's heart that looks down on the world has been completely revealed!

"Good! I already know! ”

"General Huo! I want to change the original strategy, I think, time is not waiting for me, I need to hurry up, go to Wusun first! ”

"In the coming year, half of the land in the Western Regions will be a congratulatory gift!"

"Won't it be too rushed?"

Huo Quzhi frowned.

Hu Shui continued.

"We are so popular, running thousands of miles to get the thief camp is just to find out the bag, although Wusun hunting is famous, but which time my Liaodi man is not famous!"

"The first battle of King Zuoxian, and then the Xianbei Wuhuan, the Huns, and the Han army, which one is not a strong enemy in the world, but how is it today?"

"My Liaodi man is still standing, and the others, except for the Han Dynasty, which is still strong, are all dry bones in the grave!"

As he spoke, Hu Shui turned over a war horse, looked at Huo Quzhi and said.

"I value him Wusun, so I can slowly draw with him, I don't look down on him, and today I will take his head upward!"

"The Rangers! Gather!! ”

Hu Shui yelled a few times around, and then looked back at Huo Quai.

Huo Quzhi, who was looking at the map, raised his head and looked at Hu Shui's eyes.

After a moment, he nodded.

"The Dragon Banner Army is here to cooperate with the Gu Yi Army, since General Hu has an order, Huo should obey it!"

"Hahaha, good!"

"I have a bit of courage from Liaodi!"

"In that case, then the whole army is ready! The outposts are scattered, and within ten days, I want to know where the Wusun defense is concentrated! ”

"No!"

——

Bell, bell, bell.

The sharp-beaked hoe and hammer struck the stone hard.

A group of short, thin, sun-skinned, tanned workers were sweating.

This is the Australian continent, and more than a year ago, they were recruited into that fleet of two or three hundred huge ships.

Later, they followed them all the way to this land.

Distance.

Seagulls soar along the shore, and there are many houses in a very well-groomed open space below.

Among them, there are wooden houses, stone houses, tents, and all kinds of strange styles.

Smoke wafted from the cooking.

Looking over there, the workers seemed to smell the aroma of meat, and they kept swallowing their saliva one by one.

“@¥%#¥.”

"Don't look at it, it's not done yet, I want to eat, hurry up and finish today's task."

"I've heard that a lazy guy didn't complete his mission several times a few days ago, and now he has been sent back by the governor."

"Do you want to go back too?"

A taller man of a short and thin race said to a worker who was not very old beside him.

The latter's face changed drastically, and the thought of going back to live that hungry and full life made the tools in his hands swing even harder.

The road becomes smooth little by little.

Workers knocked the stone muck on the ground to soften the ground, and then let the horses drag it back and forth a few times, and a solid dirt road was completed.

These people are naturally the people from all walks of life recruited along the way by the group of Liaodi people sent to Australia by the Haiwu Division.

After more than a year of training, these natives have become extremely useful.

As the island chain sailed all the way, the 1,000-person team of the Maritime Affairs Division began planning and construction after arriving in Australia.

Ports, roads, housing, and today's Australian base have been gradually developed by them.

Moreover, in recent times, the prospecting team has discovered various large and small ore veins, and they are also preparing to line up a few ships to return to Liaodi.

Accumulation.

Inside a stone building.

The Director of the Exploration Bureau of the Maritime Objects Division is selecting the personnel to return and compiling a list of supplies that need to be supported.

Knock knock.

There was a knock on the door.

The chief lifted his glasses on the bridge of his nose.

"Come in."

"Director, the prospecting team has made another discovery today, two gold mines, one iron mine, counting the previous discoveries, in the past six months since we came, more than 100 mineral deposits have been discovered!"

"It's amazing!"

The report was full of joy.

Listening to his voice, the sub-bureau chief couldn't help laughing.

"Good, good!"

"How's the road going, has it been extended?"

"Come on, Director, the rest of the work of the natives has been canceled recently, all of them are building roads, and in one month at the latest, the first nearest copper mine can be mined!"

"Hahaha, okay, this is a great achievement, I'll write it down for you first, this time is also hard for your colleagues."

"Come, here's my list for the return trip, you go down and make arrangements, and leave as soon as possible."

"Ah, yes!"

The faces of the people who came to report were happy again, and after listening to the director's words, it seemed that he could go back with him.

Before he could react, he heard the director say again.

"But you can't go back empty-handed, there are a lot of things here that we don't have, you pick some and bring them back."

"I think that kind of thing climbing on the tree is very cute, our king's unicorn should be four years old this year, he should like it, find someone to catch four or five and bring it back, and the kind of thing with a bag on its belly, so tall and covered in meat, grab some and bring it back."

There is also that kind of big chicken, see if the people in the animal husbandry department have any ideas, breed to see if the meat can be produced, we have also tasted the taste is quite strong. ”

"Yes, Director, I'll arrange it."
