068, Brothers Gather (I)
Such a team composed of elite masters, and Xuanyuan Yunyuan opened the way, if all the goods were received into the space artifact, even if they could not all fly in the sky, but there was no problem in walking through the mountains, and they should have arrived in Bayuan a long time ago. However, Chongbokun was not only walking, but also building roads, and the standard of the roads he built was to allow the hundred ox carts to pass safely in a normal way.
This is a difficult task that ordinary people can't accomplish, so Chongbo Kun brought three hundred elite masters, and he himself walked at the front of the team and personally split the mountain to open the way. The Xuanyuan Yunlun that Chongbo Kun rode on controlled two dragons with the cultivation of nine realms of immortals. But the task of these two dragons now is not to pull a cart, but to explore the terrain, choose a route, and usually build roads.
The road was chosen to wind and coil as gently as possible in the gentle part of the mountain, and when it encountered a really difficult place, it was forced to split the cliff, and several bridges were built along the way. Someone asked him why he did this, and Chong Bo Kun replied: "I was ordered by the emperor to be the king of the subject country, and the king of Ba was subject to Gui, and with the Son of Heaven as a witness, I signed an alliance with all the Chinese tribes, how can it be just empty talk?"
The canonization of a subject state involves a ceremony of alliance. The covenants of the ministries formulated and presided over by the Son of Heaven of China stipulate the common oath of all ministries and countries. For example, if Pakistan is invaded by a foreign enemy, then the surrounding ministries must work together to help Pakistan and Yuan jointly defend against foreign enemies; if Pakistan suffers a disaster, the Chinese Son of Heaven will also call all the ministries to rescue together.
But if there are no roads and ordinary convoys can't pass, such an oath can only be empty talk. Therefore, since Chongbokun is a Chinese angel to canonize Ba Jun, he must be able to achieve an alliance in the true sense. He had been preparing for more than three months, and had walked for another three months, but now he was not halfway there.
The front of Chongbo's team will pass through the wilderness where the Shanzha Demon King was originally entrenched, so Huwa will send the Shanzha Demon King over and lead a group of elite warriors to dig a road from the side of Bayuan to meet Chongbokun, so that the roads dug by the two teams will be connected to each other, and they will converge in the wilderness.
Huwa returned the Xuanqi bead to Shanzha, and took out a pair of jade-like axes and handed them to him and Haqia respectively: "This is what I used to split the mountain to get out of trouble when I was trapped in the Cave Mansion of the Immortal Family of the Whistling Mountain, and now it has been refined into an artifact. I'll lend it to you for the time being, and go to the wilderness to split the mountains and open the way. The demon king's body strength is infinite, and he is most familiar with the terrain of that area, so it is most suitable to build this skill. ”
Shanzha turned into a humanoid face again, and felt high-spirited again when he carried the axe, and said with a straight chest: "Lord Peng Keng, can I set off for the wilderness here? This is a great feat, you just wait for me to welcome Lord Chongbokun back!"
Huwa waved her hand again and said, "Don't worry, it's best to go in the name of welcoming the envoy from Pakistan this time." You should go with me to Badu, accept the appointment and canonization of Ba Jun, and then mobilize the forces of all the cities to help, not alone. ”
……
The tiger baby waited for a day in the Mountain of Beasts. Xuanyuan went to the Yandi Immortal Palace, and then came to the Beast Mountain to meet him, and then took Fan Chong, Ha Qia, Shanzha, and the five of them rushed to Badu City together. As for Taiyi, he was directly sent to Chongbokun by Huwa. Since the road needs to be built on both sides at the same time, it is necessary to negotiate the route in advance and communicate at any time, so that they cannot diverge from each other.
These five masters did not fly directly into Badu, but fell into the clouds outside the city and entered through the east gate. When the young man got the news, he led his ministers not only to welcome him outside the main hall, but also to the gate of the palace in person. Except for the tiger baby, no one in the original country can receive such an over-standard courtesy.
When Shaowu saw the tiger baby, before the tiger baby saluted, he stepped forward and hugged him and said, "You and my brother, we finally got together again today!"
Shaowu's eyes are red, and the tiger baby can detect the true emotions in his heart, this emotion and excitement are not disguised in the slightest, and they are indeed true feelings. Shao Wu has been Ba Jun for many years, and the joy and anger in the court are invisible, and he is also a lonely person in Ba Yuan, maybe only in front of the tiger baby, will he be so moved.
The seats in the hall have already been arranged, and the tiger baby and Xuanyuan are both sitting on an equal footing with the young man, but the position is on the side. Today's court meeting is not only to welcome the tiger baby and his wife, but also to discuss how to welcome the Chinese angels.
In fact, Shaowu had a very leisurely time some time ago, and after the pacification of Ba Yuan, the country has become increasingly fine after some rectification. The most important national policy at the moment is to accept the canonization of the Chinese Son of Heaven. Most of these are ceremonial affairs, and how to prepare for the middle school is mainly the responsibility of Xiling, the master of Xuezheng.
Huwa came to the court, with no intention of interfering in government affairs, he just made another suggestion: open a road to meet Chongbokun in the wilderness northeast of Bayuan, and recommended three people.
The two demon kings, Shanzha and Haqia, are of course the main forces to open the way, and Fan Chong is the person in charge. For such a large and arduous project, it is not only necessary for the three of them to do it, but also to mobilize the assistance of the local cities and districts in the vicinity to organize logistics support and other affairs. Fan Chong not only has a great cultivation, but also served as the monarch of the Fan family, and it is most suitable for him to preside over it.
On the other hand, the team sent by Ba Yuan was not only to open the way, but also to welcome Lord Chongbokun. Chongbokun's title is the highest in the Chinese Empire, so the envoy sent by Shaowu to the border to greet him should also have a corresponding status. The highest title on Ba Yuan is the Ten Lords, which is not something that can be awarded to anyone casually, but Fan Chong has this qualification.
Huwa finally said: "It is my idea to open the way to meet each other in the wilderness. If the lord doesn't have this intention, I will let Shanzha and Haqia go to help Lord Chongbokun on their own. ”
If it is just to assist Chongbo Kun to open the road and repair the road, Huwa can send someone to help on her own, but if it is in the name of the official Bamuro State, officially open the road from the border and send envoys to greet her, this is not something that Huwa can do. Shao Wu hurriedly replied: "Senior brother has made this arrangement, it's too late to be grateful to my brother! ”
But Lord Fuzheng said: "Bayuan is surrounded by steep and barbaric wilderness, and it has been difficult for foreign enemies to invade since ancient times. If we assist Lord Chong Bo Kun to build such a road, it will of course be a good thing at the moment, but in the event of a war and chaos in China in the future, will it endanger the peace of Pakistan?"
Before Shao Wu could speak, the generals in charge of military affairs of Beidao, Hanxiong, and Lingbao all shook their heads and said, "Lord Fuzheng is too worried!"
The road to be built by Chongbokun passes through the nearest distance between Ba Yuan and the land of China, but it winds between the mountains and mountains along the way. Even if the elite army is full of logistical baggage, when the weather is most suitable, it will take at least half a month to walk from the nearest city in China to the border of Pakistan.
In peacetime, this can greatly promote the exchange between the people of China and Pakistan, and its significance is not only in trade, but also in the integration of civilizations and mutual learning. But in wartime, such a road is not suitable for large army expeditions, and logistics supply lines can easily be cut off.
It takes a lot of manpower and material resources to get through it, but it is much easier to choose a few strategic nodes to cut it off. Moreover, the place where this road enters Ba Yuan is in the northwest of the former Fan Mur country, and the terrain and mountains of the former Pa Mu country are crisscrossed and crisscrossed, and from there it enters the hinterland of Ba Yuan, and there are many passes along the way.
The relationship between Pakistan and the hinterland of China, after this road is opened, is somewhat similar to the relationship between Shanshui City or Xiancheng and the hinterland of Pakistan. Of course, Shanshui City cannot threaten Pakistan, it even has to coexist politically and economically dependent on Pakistan, and on the other hand, it is difficult for Pakistan to raise a large army to conquer Shanshui City.
Chongbokun's plan to build such a road was beyond Shaowu's expectations, and what a price he had to pay! After Danzhu pacified the Jiuli tribes, he could actually open a road from the southeast of Bayuan through the Wuyun Mountains to enter the land of Jiuli. But that road is more difficult to build, and there is no plan until now.
Even if Ba Yuan can open up the road connection with the land of Jiuli, its significance is far less than the road opened by Chongbo Kun, and after it is opened, you can directly take the caravan, and it connects the prosperous hinterland of China. On the other hand, Jiuli is a staggered area of villages and wilderness, and there is not even a formal city outline, which is much more backward than Bayuan.
Shaowu canonized Fan Chong as the tenth lord and served as the envoy on the spot, and he could mobilize manpower and material resources in the cities on the northeast border of Bayuan, appoint Shanzha and Haqia as deputy envoys, and give him seven lords to assist Fan Chong in opening mountains and building roads to welcome the Chinese angels. Without further ado, Fan Chong and the other three immediately took the order to leave Badu, and the court meeting ended here.
Huwa went to Badu to find a young man, and the most important thing was not this, but for Chongbo Kun to canonize the King of Mountains and Rivers and the King of Xiancheng. But at the court meeting, neither Shaowu nor he said a word about it.
I don't mention it because it's hard to mention it, and in a public occasion like a court meeting, every word spoken may be passed out. Of course, the affairs of the Chinese Son of Heaven can't be managed, and he also said that the affairs of Xiancheng and Shanshui City are not counted, if it is criticized here, it may cause dissatisfaction, and it is useless to talk about it at the court meeting, it is better to discuss it privately with Huwa.
After the court meeting, the young minister invited the tiger baby and his wife to the garden of the back courtyard of the palace, and ordered someone to set up a banquet, accompanied by the general Hanxiong and his wife, as well as the tiger baby's eldest disciple, Lingbao, who is also a general.
Hanxiong's wife, Xiao Sa, is a monk of Lianzhi Peak, and she is also an old acquaintance of Huwa. Because Xuanyuan, a female dependent, was present today, Shao Wu also specially asked Hanxiong to call Xiao Sa over, which also made the atmosphere more relaxed. When everyone discussed, Xiao Sa couldn't interject, she mainly poured wine and persuaded Xuanyuan to drink.
Xiao Sa looked at Xuanyuan and the tiger baby, and her heart was full of emotion. I think that when she first met Tiger Baby, Hanxiong and others in Hongjin City, her cultivation was similar to that of Tiger Baby, and they were all in the four realms. Huwa claimed to be just a casual cultivator, and she was born in a large sect of cultivation, and she was a personal disciple of the famous master Ruixi.
Xiao Sa did not despise the tiger baby because of this, and she was also very optimistic about the young man's qualifications and future. But this kind of "optimism" is not looking up or even looking up, but looking down and paying attention with a sense of superiority. But what happened afterwards was something that Xiao Sa could never have dreamed of, and the changes in the world were too magical! )
