Ah Niu's face changed, and he nodded happily.

He was a coolie at the horse's head, and he had never worn new shoes when he was so big, and he picked up each pair of shoes that others didn't want, and then took them home to sew them up and keep them for himself.

After the carriage left the city, it drove a few more miles to a forest surrounded by mountains.

In the middle of the forest, there is a dirt road for pedestrians and carriages, dividing the dense green forest into east and west.

The mountains and forests in the east are backed by cliffs by the sea, while the mountains in the west border the interior.

"Boss, the highest mountain in the east is our warehouse. Ah Niu excitedly pointed to the mountain peaks in the east.

Qi Tian got out of the carriage and stood next to Ah Niu, looking around at the surrounding mountains and landscapes.

Long... A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he nodded secretly in his heart, that ninth uncle is really a military talent, this is really an excellent place, he didn't see the wrong person!

With such a talent to assist him, the time to be a good young man in the future can be greatly increased, Qi Tian thought to himself.

The warehouse is set up on the top of the mountain, condescendingly, everything under the mountain can be seen clearly, and the mountain road is rugged, the stone and trees are lined up, easy to defend and difficult to attack, unless the enemy and us are a hundred times different in strength, there is no possibility of capturing the top of the mountain.

And if you choose the top of the mountain in the east and not the top of the mountain in the west, Qi Tian can probably guess Uncle Jiu's thoughts.

Although the top of the mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it also has a fatal flaw, that is, it is easy to be surrounded by enemies.

If the enemy chooses to fight a protracted war, and does not hesitate to spend heavy troops to besiege the mountain, once the water source, grain and grass on the mountain are cut off, then the top of the mountain will become a turtle in an urn, and the soldiers on the mountain will also be unstable and difficult to fight, and the defeat is nothing more than a matter of time.

But the East Side just solves this problem!

Because the top of the mountain in the east is bordered by the inland on only three sides, and the coastal cliff on the east, as long as you prepare in advance, even if you are besieged, you will not lack food because of lack of water, after all, there are fish, shrimp and crab meat in the sea, and the seawater can be boiled and filtered and drinkable.

If you take another 10,000 steps back, even if you can't defeat the enemy, you can arrange your ships in advance and escape to the sea, so this is really an excellent military base!

Since there were few people in this mountain forest in the past, and the road in the mountain had not been repaired, several people tied the carriage to a big tree at the bottom of the mountain, and had to walk to the top of the mountain on foot.

Xia Qingxue has a foundation in martial arts, and mountaineering is effortless, and Ah Niu is born with a strong physique, plus he used to be a coolie, so this mountain road is not a problem.

But Qi Tian and Liu'er are bitter, the two have never walked such a rugged mountain road, stepped on the gravel of the mountain several times, and almost slipped down the mountain...

Qi Tian complained: "This mountain road is really difficult to walk, my feet are so painful." “

Although Liu'er didn't complain, her thin eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and her small forehead was covered with fine sweat.

Xia Qingxue listened to Qi Tian's complaints, a little unbearable, and then said: "Brother-in-law, if I don't carry you up the mountain, I will work lightly and will be able to go up soon." ”

Qi Tian was speechless, he suddenly remembered the domestic puppies in the countryside, when they were just born, they were just people pinching the skin on their necks and carrying them around...

"Little sister, do you want to change your posture, such as hugging your brother-in-law?" Qi Tian suggested.

Xia Qingxue was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Then I won't be able to get lucky, and if I don't get lucky, I won't be able to mention my brother-in-law." ”

Qi Tian was speechless, but it was just a change of posture, what does it have to do with luck, in the final analysis, it is that kung fu is not at home, and it still needs to be practiced.

When several people were about to reach the top of the mountain, there was a knocking sound of "ding, ding, bell, dang" from above.

"Boss!"

"Ah Niu!"

.........

A familiar voice came from the mountains.

Since it was morning, the sun was fierce, and several people looked up and felt that the sun was very dazzling.

"Hehe, boss, you're finally here! Look, how about the place the old man chose?" Uncle Nine greeted Qi Tian with a smile.

Qi Tian took a few breaths, glanced at him angrily, and said, "Let's fix the road and talk about it!" If it is always like this in the future, wouldn't it be a few days of rest for a trip, and tomorrow my legs, stomach and waist must be very painful." ”

Uncle Jiu's face turned red and smiled awkwardly, "Boss, we were officially stationed here yesterday, and we arranged for the brothers to open the mountain and repair the road early this morning, I estimate that it won't be long before the mountain road can be repaired." ”

Qi Tian continued to walk towards the top of the mountain, and from time to time there were many strong young men digging the ground with hammers and shovels, and after a rough count, there were as many as two or three hundred.

They all looked at the young man accompanied by Uncle Nine curiously, and they didn't understand who the young man in the white costume was.

Finally reached the top of the mountain, Qi Tian didn't care about the soil on the ground, sat directly on the ground, panting heavily...

Subsequently, Uncle Nine and Ah Niu sat on either side of him.

"This is the position you chose?" Qi Tian asked.

Uncle Nine smiled "hehe", nodded immediately, and said with a little pride: "Boss, this is the place I chose, in strict accordance with the criteria that the boss said is sparsely populated and not noticeable, not only that, but..."

Qi Tian answered: "It is still an excellent strategic place, condescending, the mountain road is rugged, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the east side is also close to the sea, which solves the hidden danger of building a city on the top of the mountain." ”

Uncle Nine was stunned for a moment, then his old face turned red, and he nodded, he originally wanted to borrow his past military experience to invite credit, but he didn't expect to be seen through by Qi Tian at once.

Qi Tian glanced at Uncle Nine and said with a smile: "It's much better than I expected, I didn't mistake you." ”

When it is time to encourage, it is necessary to encourage, otherwise it will always hit others, and they will not be motivated.
