Chapter 8 Taking advantage of the times
Wutong Mountain is known as the first peak in the southeast. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Its main peak rises from the ground and towers into the clouds, and the majestic mountain is combined with the unpredictable clouds and mist. Standing on the top of the mountain, you can look up as if you can touch the sky, and when you look down, you can see the mountains and seas in the wilderness.
There is a mountain spring in the main peak, which flows into the heavenly pool, which is cold and unfathomable, but it accumulates the vitality of heaven and earth, and the essence of mountains and forests. The water of Tianchi flows down the valley, forming a spectacular group of waterfalls, and when it rains in spring, it pours thousands of feet, and the sound is like a flood bell. Tianchi water is poured into Longtan, Longtan water flows to Longzhu Mountain, gathers eight streams to form Qiyang River, the sages called "Nine Dragons Play Pearl".
The geography of this world is very different from that of the earth. The Bajiang River traverses the west and east inland, and turns south into the sea when it reaches Xin'an County, and Ye Tian has never found or heard of any mountains and rivers that are similar to the previous family.
After a few months, even if he knew that he wanted to make his hometown his hometown, Ye Tian was still full of longing for his homeland in his heart. Whether this Wutong Mountain is the other Wutong Mountain is not a big matter, but just a name, and a description of Xiaotong Dafei, Ye Tian decided to use it as the new site of the mountain gate in the future.
In other places, a mountain range like this with its steep and beautiful peaks and peaks may have been divided and occupied by the martial arts forces long ago. However, it has been passed down by the folk for hundreds of years, and the legend of Wutong Mountain makes people have many doubts about it.
Legend has it that before the former Dynasty Xi Taizu raised troops, he watched the smoke and clouds on the top of Wutong Mountain, and met the golden dragon playing in the sea of clouds. Xi Taizu panicked, stumbled and fell, and it was the golden dragon who rescued him. Since then, Xi Taizu and the golden dragon met, in the mountain as a companion, a few years later the golden dragon left, Xi Taizu with a dragon spirit down the mountain, and finally became a great cause.
Having seen Fang Chengzhuo's momentum like substance, how can he imagine the horror of the three grades, and even the realm of the grandmaster outside the products. With the same physiological structure, here, people have the possibility of conquering the heavens and the earth, so Ye Tian did not dare to make a conclusion about whether there would be other unbelievable divine beasts such as dragons and phoenixes.
But in any case, the replacement of the two dynasties has indeed made the current Wutong Mountain have the false name of the blessed land, and there is no prosperous martial arts sect to gain a foothold.
In this case, what is Ye Tian to hesitate about. Other sects can compete with the local government and even the center of the imperial court, and perhaps they also need to consider the relationship of interdependence, and they must be able to get by on face. Ye Tian thought that he had a system to add his body, which was much more awesome than any ghost dragon qi plus body, so he didn't have to care about these at all.
Moreover, Dahua is in an eventful season, and the inner court has no spare time, and the officials of Qiyang will only worry that the strength here is not enough to fight against the Yiren bandits.
"Just now, the store's words, think about it, there is a lot of guidance, you can take a look. Su Linglong drew a few lines on the map, drew a circle, and said: "Although Wutong Mountain is still a section away from the sea, ordinary people can walk at a fast speed, and it will not take an hour to complete. The bandits landed on the shore, and this place bore the brunt. ”
Gu Liuli recalled the words of the shopkeeper, and also said: "He saw that we were martial artists, and when he saw that we asked about the mountains and rivers of Qiyang, he may not confirm that we intend to establish a sect, but as long as there is a slight possibility, he hopes that we will be at the forefront of dealing with the bandits." ”
There are a lot of people in the martial arts in Qiyang, and the bandits are not all without real chapters, they only know that they are desperate, and the vision of the people here will not be too narrow. Especially ushered in the inns, restaurants, post stations and other businesses sent to them, and the knowledge is higher.
Ye Tian said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if he intends to guide or not, the description of Wutong Mountain doesn't have too much water." ”
Su Linglong was surprised: "You don't really believe in the legend of 'Nine Dragons Playing Pearls' and Xi Taizu's dragon energy?"
"Believe it or not, what does it have to do with me? I didn't want to be an emperor. ”
"Hugh is talking nonsense, no matter how special the status of the warriors of this dynasty is, there are some things that cannot be said. Gu Liuli reminded, paused, and continued the topic: "Listening to Wutong Mountain is good, but the trouble of bandits is always something to consider." ”
"It is with the pirates in mind that Wutong Mountain is more suitable for us. ”
The two women were puzzled, and asked in unison, "What do you say?"
Ye Tian didn't answer and asked: "What is the purpose of the bandits' landing?"
"Naturally, it's looting. Gu Liuli replied.
"What is the purpose of the raid?"
Su Linglong preemptively said: "Looting is naturally for life. Don't sell off, have something to say. ”
Ye Tian chuckled: "Yes, for life." But life is born before and life is lived after, that is to say, the so-called life must be 'born' in order to 'live', right?"
Su Linglong asked uncertainly: "You mean, when the pirates land, they will only find targets that are easy to loot, so that they can escape and retreat at any time?"
"Not only that, but I think the number of people they land each time, no matter how small, will act separately. Maybe it's because they've divided their own areas before landing, or maybe they've decided on a case-by-case basis after landing. Anyway, everything is premised on reducing one's own losses, and the benefits are secondary. ”
The advantage of the Yiren pirates lies in the vast ocean. They were born on the island, so they ensured their retreat and safety, and the officers and soldiers of Qiyang and the Jianghu guests could not kill them all in the windy and turbulent sea. It's easy to see why.
As for their troops, excluding the garrison part, there will definitely not be too many of them ashore at a time, and even fewer after they are dispersed. Otherwise, not to mention their urgent need for supplies, they really have to have a large number of troops, no matter what the leader of the Yi people thinks, they must also consider the ambitions and desires of the people below.
In that case, they will not be guerrilla pirates, but invaders who covet the land of Dahua. It's not just a matter of making mistakes from time to time, as is the case now.
In this way, for the sake of their lives, they will only avoid those dangerous places.
Cities are relatively the safest, followed by counties and towns where soldiers and horses are stationed. The mountains and forests seem to lack high walls and strong walls, but their natural terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is not conducive to farming, most of them are sparsely populated, and there is nothing worth grabbing in groups. If you really go, you have to beware of being trapped by design, the risk is too high.
And those villages in the wilderness, at the foot of the mountains, and near the sea, are undoubtedly the most favored by the pirates. It doesn't matter if the villagers run away, the belongings are always there.
It doesn't matter if you hide your belongings elsewhere, you can take as much as you want for ten days and half a month, bits and pieces of money, poultry in captivity, livestock for farming, and utensils for daily use. Thieves don't go empty, and so do bandits.
Therefore, what pirates land first bear the brunt of the landing, that is a matter that the pirates need to consider only when they change the purpose of landing. In case it really falls for eight lifetimes, with the area and topography of the peaks of Wutong Mountain, it is not a problem for people with some strength to escape.
Ye Tian slowly explained his analysis, and the two women were amazed.
When he was secretly proud, he actually knew that he was taking advantage of the times. These analytical reasoning, in exchange for any person with a certain amount of experience on the earth in his previous life, can basically say one, two, three.
Su Linglong said with emotion: "I estimate that there are few people in Qiyang's faction who can see it as thoroughly as you." ”
"It's nothing, it's just the inertia of thinking. ”
"What is the inertia of thinking?"
Ye Tian scratched his head, how do you explain this?
