Chapter 713: The City of Steel (1) [Fifth Update]

Chapter 713

"It seems that we have built a city and there are really a lot of people who care about it?"

Wang Chong looked at the sky and smiled.

"It's not just these scouting eagles, but since the first day of our fiefdom, there are not many people from the Western Regions, Turks, Usi-Tibetans, Great Cannibals, Tiaozhi people, and Goguryeo people who appear every day. They were disguised as jewelry merchants in the Western Regions, horse dealers, or sword merchants in the Great Food, constantly monitoring and inspecting the surroundings. We've driven it out several times, but it's still flowing. ”

Zhang Shouzhi. His eyes swept into the distance, worried.

Wang Chong's expression was calm, and he followed Zhang Shouzhi's gaze to look into the distance, and sure enough, he saw a few miles away, small black shadows standing on the low hills, looking here.

"Master Hou, should we set up a team to drive these people away?"

Zhang Shouzhi.

"Hehe, no need. ”

Wang Chong waved his hand and said lightly, with a disapproving expression:

"If someone builds a city, someone will pay attention to it, and it can't be clean. As long as the Tibetans, Turks, Great Cannibals, and Tiaozhi people have a heart, they will continue to send scouts to find out the news. Keep them. ”

Wang Chong was calm, and there was naturally a convincing power in his expression. Whether it is the eagle sparrow above his head or the scouts around him, it is just a mosquito bite for Wang Chong, since he dares to build a city here, he is not afraid of others coming to inquire about the news.

"But Master Hou, there is one more piece of news, I don't know whether to talk about it or not?"

Zhang Shouzhi hesitated, with a look of jealousy and hesitation in his eyes.

"Oh?"

Wang Chong's eyes flashed, turned his head, and subconsciously looked at Zhang Shouzhi. has been in contact with Zhang Shouzhi for so long, born and died together, Zhang Shouzhi has always given him the feeling that he is straightforward, has something to say, and never hesitates so much, with many concerns.

"What's the matter? Is there anything else I can't say in front of me? ”

"Forget about the people of Uszang, Da Shi, and Turkic, after all, they are all reasonable, our position is too special, and we are stuck in the place where their forces intersect. But during this time, in addition to them, we also found scouts from Beiting, Anxi, Moxi and Longxi, Master Hou, this is not good for us!"

Zhang Shouzhi was shrouded in a deep cloud of sorrow between his eyebrows.

The Beidou army of Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate, Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, Moxi Metropolitan Protectorate and Longxi, as long as it is a person in the Tang Dynasty, deeply understands what these names represent.

It is not surprising that Wang Chong became famous in the Battle of the Southwest and received the attention of foreign countries. But even Beiting, Anxi, Qixi and Longxi have sent people over, which is very bad.

Wang Chong frowned slightly, and was silent for a moment.

Beiting is An Sishun, Anxi is Gao Xianzhi, Qixi is Fumeng Lingcha, Longxi is Geshuhan, these people are all important generals in the empire, Taishan Beidou-level figures, have a huge influence in the military and the imperial court, and their status is extremely prominent.

It is very difficult for ordinary people to get the attention of one of them, but Wang Chong is the attention of the four imperial generals at the same time.

"Jie Du makes the event!"

An electric light flashed in Wang Chong's mind, and his heart was clear.

These four imperial generals are usually on different sides of the world, and they don't have much intersection with each other in private, in fact, the empire also strictly prohibits these powerful generals from colluding in private.

But despite this, the four people have one thing in common, that is, the festival made the incident, and Wang Chong wrote a letter to offend them completely.

All four of them once went to the imperial court to behead Wang Chong, and single-handedly caused him to be imprisoned in the prison.

"This is the aftermath of the autumn!"

Wang Chong said secretly in his heart.

Jiedu envoy incident, he is far away in Beijing, and he has the protection of his family, even if he is an imperial general such as Ge Shuhan and Fumeng Lingcha, there is not much to do about him. But now it's different, it's really strange that he came to Wushu and established a fiefdom and a city at the junction of the four people's forces, and with the temper of the four people, he would let himself build a city under their noses.

Although it is close to the Silk Road, its geographical location is also very special, hundreds of miles to its left is the edge of the Wuszang Plateau, where the Wuszang iron cavalry can go down.

And to the northeast, more than 500 li, is the edge of the power of the Western Turkic Khanate, which belongs to the territory of the Turkic Shabaluo Khan. Although it was more than 500 miles apart, it was nothing to the cavalry.

And along the Silk Road to the northwest, all the way down, at the end of the road, more than 2,000 miles apart is the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, commanded by the Anxi Metropolitan Protector Gao Xianzhi.

This road is so important that any move to build a city on the Silk Road will attract attention from all sides.

Originally, the imperial court set up the Western Protectorate here, rejecting the Western Turkic Khanate in the east and the Wusi-Tibetan Empire in the west.

But all of these big protectors of the palace were offended by Wang Chong.

Wang Chong built a city in Wusheng, it is difficult to say whether these people will make trouble!

If there are really Usi Tibetans or Western Turks rushing over, it is difficult to say whether they will help, or even more directly, these major protectors and generals deliberately do not act, and it is very likely that some Usi Tibetans and Turks will come over.

After all, the defensive line is long, and no one can blame!

——These are all questions that Wang Chong has to consider.

"Don't worry, it's not much of a problem!"

Unexpectedly, Wang Chong smiled and quickly returned to normal:

"If I dare to build a city in Wusheng, I will be fully prepared. Moreover, now that the City of Steel has just been created, and I have not been a marquis for a long time, everyone from top to bottom is paying attention to this matter. Even if Ge Shuhan, Gao Xianzhi, Fu Meng Lingcha and An Sishun had any ideas, they would never dare to make a mistake at this time, otherwise, it would be too obvious. They are all generals of the empire, giants of the giants, and they will not do such childish things. ”

"During this time, even if they are uncomfortable and dissatisfied with us, they have to help us guard the boundaries of this section!"

High status has the benefits of high status, and there are also the constraints of high status. Gao Xianzhi, Ge Shuhan, Fumeng Lingcha, and An Sishun are the generals of the empire, and they are Gao Juelong, but at the same time, it also means that their every move is concerned by everyone from the government and the opposition, so many things must not be done, at least, they can't be done too obviously.

"This ...... Indeed it is!"

Zhang Shouzhi nodded, after all, he is a master of civil engineering and architecture in the palace, and he has also been in contact with a lot of dignitaries, and he also knows more or less about the politics of the court. knows that what Wang Chong said is indeed the truth.

Even if several imperial generals and most of the protectors were unhappy and disgusted with Wang Chong, they had to endure it during this time. Not only have to endure it, but also find a way to protect him. Otherwise, if something happens at that time, even the Holy Emperor will blame it.

After all, how many people are watching Wang Chong's fiefdom.

"But even then, that's just the beginning. We built a city in Wushen, after all, it is their territory. What are we going to do after all this time?"

Zhang Shouzhi.

The Silk Road is very long, very long, and Wang Chong wants to build a city here, which seems very arbitrary, but in fact it is not. Reason: The Silk Road business travelers will only think of finding a place to settle when they start a long journey and at the same time there is a barren place to stop and they can't find a shopkeeper to stop.

Therefore, if Wang Chong's city wants to win the favor of those business travelers, it must not be too close to the city and the countryside.

And there are definitely not many lots that meet this condition.

And the black wound is the best of them all!

First of all, it came far from Jingshi, and when it came here, the business travelers were very tired. In the past, not far in front of the moraine is the west of the moraine, and not far away, there is a vast desert.

Moraine is the desert, which is the origin of the name of Moxi.

Under the influence of the desert, the weather here is very dry, and it is easier to get tired. The most obvious thing is that you need to rehydrate when you get here. This is the most substantial.

If there is a city to settle down at this time, rest, and at the same time replenish food and water, this is definitely the dream of all business travelers.

On the other hand, even the Great Food, Tiaozhi, and merchants from the Western Regions will want to rest their feet, replenish something, and recuperate their spirits when they come here. Because from here until the Tang Jingshi, it is a long way, and there is nothing to add after that.

The presence of the surrounding Uszang and Western Turkic Khanate also made Wang Chong's "Iron City" even more precious, as it provided a refuge for pedestrians.

Therefore, there are not many options for the place where Wang Chong can establish a fiefdom.

Zhang Shouzhi knew Wang Chong's ambitions, and he also knew that he built a city here not just to make some money. The time of the "Lion City" in the southwest has long been proven.

Whoever thinks that Wang Chong is really just trying to make money is really a fool. Meng Shezhao had apparently been such a fool once.

However, everything has a price.

Wang Chong immediately decided to build a city here, so the danger was the price he had to consider.

"Haha, don't worry, the soldiers will come to block, and the water will flood. I've already arranged everything. As long as they get through the first stage, I'll give them a big surprise next. ”

Wang Chong patted Zhang Shouzhi on the shoulder and said indifferently.

In Wusheng Village, Li Siye was already starting to recruit. Wang Chong had already taught him all the training methods of the "Black Wounded Iron Horse". Next, he will stay in that black village for a long time, and until he has completed the most preliminary training, he will not leave the black village and come to the steel city.

To be honest, Wang Chong has begun to have some expectations in his heart, this world-famous "black wounded iron horseman" in the future has made his first cry in this world!

Zhang Shouzhi's expression was confused, and Wang Chong's plans were always far-reaching. Even if he has been following Wang Chong for so long, he doesn't understand what Wang Chong relies on. However, despite the doubts, there is one thing that Zhang Shouzhi can be sure of:

- Wang Chong has already made arrangements for everything. That's all that matters!

has been following Wang Chong for so long, although Zhang Shouzhi is not a member of the army, he has established great confidence in him like a person in the army.
