Lu Hao in the history books is not good at, or he doesn't like to play with any "imperial tricks", in all records, even in wild history, he is also a rare straightforward person throughout the ages.

Except for the necessary intrigues on the battlefield and the earth-shattering deception of Haotian Banner, most of the time Lu Hao went straight and did not hide it. His candor has led many to believe that he is not fit to be the leader of a country.

But Lu Hao is the king of a country after all, and no one can doubt it after he makes a judgment, but when he doesn't make a judgment and asks the ministers to speak freely, he is really asking for advice, and he has no intention of playing tricks or leading snakes out of the hole.

Judging from the situation at the scene, Lu Hao obviously did not find a reason to build a city in Hongshan.

Now Bai Xiao is going to give him this reason.

According to the records in the history books, the establishment of the city in Hongshan and the establishment of the Demon Dao Academy was initially criticized by many people as arbitrary and absurd, but soon people realized that this strategic plan really has many advantages such as the right time, place and people.

For example, the most obvious point: after the decisive battle, the 400,000 undead of the Shengyuan Expeditionary Force was a huge hidden danger, and under the snow-white wilderness, although the rich death qi was suppressed by Lu Hao, it did not dissipate, but had the possibility of brewing into something more sinister. And the battlefield of the decisive battle happens to be the heart of the Western Continent, once a crisis breaks out here, the consequences are unimaginable, so even if you don't consider building a capital or opening an academy at that time, you will inevitably build a lot of construction on the battlefield to suppress the undead.

And where is the 400,000 undead so easy to suppress? They died in the Demon Dao War, especially Lu Hao's ruthless attack, shattering them to pieces, their souls have long been fused with the free demonic energy between heaven and earth, and they must be dealt with by means of the Demon Dao...... At the beginning of the independence of the Western Continent, the available demonic power was not abundant, so the capital of Hongshan was somewhat helpless. Lu Hao must use his personal authority to restrain the demon Taoists of the Western Continent to settle in the cemetery, and then show their magical powers to suppress the undead.

On the other hand, 400,000 undead are both a crisis and an opportunity: before this, there had never been such a "high-level massacre" in the history of human civilization. The 400,000 Shengyuan Expeditionary Force is all the elite of human society - when they were selected for the Shengyuan Army, they had strict requirements for height and weight, and then they had to go through several years of rigorous training, and finally came across the Sea of Hope after being equipped with sophisticated weapons - but they were mercilessly slaughtered in a very short period of time, and in the end no one survived, this tragedy was unprecedented even during the Great War of Man and Demon.

In other words, this cemetery where 400,000 living beings are buried is the unique geographical advantage of the Western Continent! If we can make full use of these undead as materials for the study of the Demon Dao, the level of the Western Continent's Demon Dao will undoubtedly improve by leaps and bounds - in fact, the Western Continent is slightly ahead of the Biochemical Domain and the Mystic Realm while the overall level of the Demon Dao is lagging behind the Eastern Continent, which is the result of an in-depth analysis of the 400,000 undead 1,800 years ago.

Finally, it is a simple geographical advantage, compared to the White Night City, which is closer to the coast, the location of Red Mountain is closer to the "core" of the Western Continent, with plains on all sides, and roads extending in all directions, whether it is Qingjun, Gray Plain or Border County or Southern Xinjiang, starting from Hongshan City, it is far more convenient than White Night City. In other words, this is a heavenly destined hub of the Western Continent, and it is almost the word "capital of the continent" written directly. In contrast, the establishment of White Night City was just the first colonists to build a more livable city on the fertile land west of the East Fence City for convenience.

The content in the textbook quickly passed through Bai Xiao's mind, although he was not as quick as Qingyue and the original poem, but he had an excellent memory and a quick enough response.

But just as he was about to read from the script, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

The analysis in the textbook is an inductive summary based on the historical practice of 1800, and to put it bluntly, it is an out-and-out afterthought.

From the standpoint of our ancestors before 1800, none of the above reasons are valid.

400,000 undead are indeed excellent research materials, but it is a big deal to establish a special research institute here, why is it necessary to set up the first demon academy in the empire here? The risk is too great. After all, the academy is to recruit students, and for those young people whose demonic skills have not yet matured, the undead under their feet are more like a mortal threat......

And the geographical advantage also did not exist, because the civilization of the Western Continent at that time was still limited to a radius of thousands of miles with the White Night City as the core, and the border counties and southern Xinjiang belonged to the outside world, and the convenient transportation was not only an advantage, but even a disadvantage - because that meant that the danger from the southern Xinjiang and the border counties could spread to the imperial capital at any time.

Finally, there are a hundred solutions to suppress the undead, and there is no need to put the capital of the empire and the magic academy that symbolizes the face of the empire with it!

Bai Xiao thought all this through for a few seconds.

After all, he is not the kind of wise man who can do everything in one step, and it is not easy to realize the problem before he speaks.

But it was these few seconds of silence that had already made Lu Hao very dissatisfied, the overlord of the Western Continent stretched out his hand and tapped the rock under him, and sneered: "Pretending to be amazing, but there is no follow-up? Do you want to grandstand at my court?"

Bai Xiao pondered for a moment and said, "Of course, there is a good reason for choosing to establish an academy here. ”

"Tell me about it. ”

Bai Xiao looked directly at the unsightly overlord of the Western Continent on the stone seat, and did not back down at all, and said word by word: "Because of handsome!"

"Hahaha!"

Lu Hao was stunned for a moment, and then let out a rolling and stirring laugh, and a well-shaped shock wave suddenly stirred up on the snow-white wilderness.

"Well said, it's handsome to build the capital and academy of the empire on the corpses of the enemy!"

On the stone seat, Lu Hao stood up, and a hegemonic aura like a substance was stirred, and the important ministers of the empire all bowed their heads and did not dare to look directly, Bai Xiao also narrowed his eyes slightly, and only then did he withstand the pressure of the overlord head-on.

However, the next moment, Lu Hao's words changed abruptly: "However, being handsome is not a reason to do whatever you want! In terms of being handsome, Yuan Qing, the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force who died here, is more handsome than me, but now it is me who is stepping on his bones to designate the strategy of the Western Continent here!"

Bai Xiao was stunned when he heard this: Yuan Qing? This is completely different from the record in the textbook...... Unexpectedly, the teachers of the academy paid a lot of attention to copyright issues when they wrote the screenplays, and they obviously presented a real historical story, but the characters involving Shengyuan were changed beyond recognition......

However, without thinking about it, I heard Lu Hao continue: "The establishment of the capital in this Baishan Plain is indeed a feat that is enough to go down in history and make me immortal, but the premise is that this matter can be done properly and will not become a laughing stock." If it were so easy to build a cemetery, no one else would be unexpected, let alone all my ministers would be on the opposite side of you! When you proposed this plan, did you consider the feasibility?"

Bai Xiao was silent for a moment, and the record about Lu Hao resurfaced in his mind.

The original overlord of the Western Continent, when playing the role of the emperor, was an out-and-out realist, and those splendid flashes made him feel moved for a moment at most, but it was not enough for him to make a real decision, if you want to convince him, you must have absolutely sufficient reasons.

But...... Compared with the absurd and bizarre idea of building a capital in a cemetery, it is obviously much more realistic and reasonable to transform the existing capital.

If it weren't for the script that arranged him on this issue, Bai Xiao also felt that it would be more reasonable to build in White Night City.

But now, reasonableness is no longer important.

So he raised his head, his gaze made direct contact with Lu Hao, without showing weakness at all, and said in a deep voice: "Feasibility can be created the day after tomorrow, if you blindly seek feasibility, then the independence of the Western Continent itself is not feasible." ”

"Hahaha!"

More heroic and fierce laughter stirred up, and the sound was rolling, so that the ministers around the stone seat had to plug their ears and show a look of pain and torture.

Bai Xiao still faced the overlord's edge, his face remained unchanged at all, and he continued to state his reasons.

"The current Baishan Plain is indeed just an empty cemetery, but as long as I am given enough time, I will transform it into a paradise suitable for building a capital with my own hands!"
