CHAPTER XXXII

Of course, there is a saying that one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, although Li Hu won the battle, the soldiers under his command also suffered heavy casualties, and they will definitely not be less than the people of the Tang Dynasty, but most of Li Hu's casualties are newly recruited recruits, and the elite of the Mo Dao soldiers lost in the Middle Tang Dynasty is an out-and-out backbone, so strictly speaking, he has made a lot of money.

From another point of view, this means that this army is not very good at attacking! Li Hu's great victory on land can be said to be the first time in nearly a decade that Nanzheng defeated the Tang Army in a field battle, so Li Hu also became famous and his prestige greatly increased.

Lin Fengjin also studied this battle case, but found that Li Hu's strategic and tactical thinking was quite similar to that of Tian Wu, the general of Hengbo in the Northern Qi Dynasty, both of whom advocated steady and steady fighting, step by step, but Li Hu just had a little more changes.

Of course, with Li Hu's outstanding military exploits and killing people, he finally succeeded in improving his life and became one of the few people in the world who broke the army's main life grid. When Lin Feng was cultivating, Li Hu paid a lot of attention to the wild boar, and the two seemed to be born with the idea of competing, in fact, it was indeed the case, the Seven Kills met the Broken Army Fate, as if a fierce general like Zhang Fei met a general like Gao Shun, and he was born to collide with Mars.

Therefore, Li Hu and Wild Boar will also learn from time to time, and they both feel that they have benefited a lot, and once when the two sides fought fiercely, they actually came up with a killer weapon, so that the star power was condensed and the weapon was a good blow!

Suddenly, it was as if there had been a terrorist attack. There was a big explosion immediately, and if both sides didn't keep their senses and save their hands, otherwise, the entire martial arts arena would be destroyed.

Of course, under the one-on-one competition, the wild boar has a great chance of winning, but if it is three hundred people against three hundred, then the wild boar is a hundred defeats, Li Hu's knowledge of the art of war. Wild boars, to be honest, can't catch up with the horses.

Lin Fengjin was originally going back to Northern Qi. But he fled to Nanzhenglai, which was quite a bit of a disagreement, although theoretically speaking, Lin Fengjin continued to go south. The most reluctant, it is inevitable to bypass the Middle Tang Dynasty and reach the Northern Qi Dynasty. However, he did not plan to take a trip around the world. Because if you want to go from Nanzheng to Northern Qi and don't have to go through the Middle Tang Dynasty. There is actually a shortcut to take.

That's the waterway.

Lin Fengjin calculated the time, and when he was at the sales meeting before, the manager of Xiangfan Qianzhuang He also promised Lin Fengjin one thing. That is, five five-masted ships were delivered to Lin Fengjin a year later, and these five ships could sail on the sea.

With these five five-masted ships, supplemented by more than a dozen three-masted ships, Lin Fengjin can successfully form a huge commercial fleet, and continuously transport the specialties of the south to the north, at this time, the Lin family has made a statistic that the goods from Xiangfan to Yedu need to go through seventeen checkpoints, and the taxes paid are at least eleven and a half times the value of the goods themselves!

In this way, it is necessary to have a good eye to maintain this trade route, because this person is not only responsible for opening the checkpoint between Southern Zheng and Zhongtang, but also responsible for the checkpoint between Zhongtang and Northern Qi.

However, cowhides and tendons in the north are basically the same as strategic resource reserves for the south, because siege weapons, armor and so on all consume a lot of leather and animal tendons!

And after the waterway is opened, the stronghold in the north is Sanlibu, and the stronghold in the south is Li Hu's single-handedly covered county, even if these two places have to collect taxes, there are only two checkpoints when they are full, compared with the previous seventeen levels, it can be said that it is completely different from the abyss!

Of course, Li Hu also understood the importance of this trade route, once opened, he could say that the economic dependence on the Nanzheng court could be completely reduced to a negligible level. Why did the prison army stick to the general's neck, it was nothing more than that he controlled the word salary.

Because of this, Li Hu is also very attentive to the five five-masted ships promised by He Da Steward, and the county is close to the sea and the river, and the water transportation industry is also particularly developed, after Li Hu came here, he is also painstakingly managing this related matter, and now he has taken a half-old five-masted ship and four three-masted ships, as for the sailors on the ship, there is no need to worry, Li Hu specially stayed alive when fighting pirates, although these guys are unruly, but the wife and children's families are also on land, and they are not afraid that they will not do their bestใ€‚

This time, after Lin Fengjin arrived in Yanjun, Li Hu also used his own channels to inform the chief steward of He, telling him that the creditor had come, and the one-year contract was only a few months, and Lin Fengjin did not mind living in Yanjun until the one-year contract expired.

At this time, people still attached great importance to their commitments, so Chief Steward He quickly replied that he would come in person, of course, with him, there were also five huge ships, which would probably go down the river in half a month and arrive at Shangmao, the county town of Yanjun.

At this time, Lin Fengjin had been recuperating from his injuries here for nearly ten days, and he could already try some strenuous exercises, and after hearing the news of He Da Steward, he was also a little happy and moved, after all, this was a major event that he had planned for a long time.

Since he also got the letter at this time, Lin Fengjin carefully searched for it in the Sumeru mustard seed ring, and finally found a token that could contact the Ao family of the water monarch in the north, according to Ao Li, as long as this token is sprinkled with a little realgar, and then after holding it, you can directly carry out long-distance telepathy, but it can only be used three times at most.

And Lin Fengjin thinks that this maiden voyage is of great significance, it must be to seek a victory to ensure its smoothness, and it also happens that he can guard the fleet and explain the matters of getting along with the demon snake family, so he directly used this token and contacted Ao Li, an old and cunning guy.

After Ao Liquid once again confirmed that he would feed his children and grandchildren, he happily sent several members of the family out, all of whom were Ao Chi's descendants, and also participated in the siege and killing of the six-eared demon ape.

At this time, these snakes and snakes are when they are quietly thinking about moving, and they can't wait to come out and see the world, because this time the matter is a little urgent, so these giant snakes all have a certain magical ability, and they can travel day and night at the same time, they can also perform a strong water escape technique, and it is expected that they can arrive on time as long as it takes seven or eight days, and they must be able to catch up.

And Lin Fengjin also learned one more thing, it was about his mount Lan Gongzi, it turned out that after this guy returned to the grassland, he suddenly obtained the side effects of a thousand-year-old Taoism, oh, no, it should be a necessary link to be presented, that is, it will evolve again.

In fact, the most typical characteristic of any youkai that has been practicing for more than a thousand years is that it can transform into a human form.

All monsters that can transform into humans, please note that it is change rather than transformation - change means that even a woman's reproductive function is like the White Lady, and transformation is to use illusion to blind people's eyes, it looks like a beauty, in fact, when you touch the 36D Mimi, you must have touched the scales - then it must be a big monster that has been in the Tao for a thousand years. Because the human body secretly combines the five elements of yin and yang, and the nine palaces and gossip, it is also effective to cultivate with half the effort.

Of course, there are many big monsters who still don't forget their roots and don't want to become human, but it's not that they can't change, it's that they don't want to change.

And Lan Gongzi's condition at this time is quite like being boosted by Lin Feng's careful pulling out of seedlings, so as soon as it returned to the grassland, it fell into a deep sleep, except for eating, it will never wake up, this is the strength of the heavenly demon bloodline, although it has been boosted by being pulled out by people, but as long as it sleeps more, it can be slowly adjusted, without leaving any trouble.

However, during this time, Lin Fengjin wanted to use its strength, but there should be no way, but this matter didn't matter to Lin Fengjin, because he had too many resources and chess pieces in his hands, and Lan Gongzi's dormancy would not make Lin Fengjin feel that his strength was hurt all of a sudden.

Time passed quickly, and on the third day when Lin Fengjin's injuries were completely healed, that is, on the tenth day of his stay with Li Hu, he got the latest news: Grand Steward He and his fleet had arrived at the guest town seventy miles away from Shangmao, and it was probably expected to arrive the next day.

Of course, since it was He Da Steward who came in person, Lin Fengjin couldn't hold it up, he must go to greet it in person, otherwise it would be too uninteresting, and when he thought that his fleet would be successfully formed from now on, Lin Fengjin's mind was also eager, after all, this business road was passed, and it was a source of wealth from now on, and the world was rich

Early the next morning, Lin Fengjin got up and began to let the maids who were waiting for him dress up, after all, in this kind of grand meeting, they couldn't dress casually. When he was dressed up and went out, he suddenly remembered something, and asked the butler who was waiting next to him:

"Has there been any special news from Xiangdu recently, especially about the king?"

This housekeeper is Li Hu's henchman, and sometimes he has to play the role of the master, he will look through the newspaper or something, and after listening to Lin Fengjin's inquiry, he said with some doubts:

"No, there's really no special news. (To be continued......)
