Chapter 25: The Armored Soldier on the Chest and the History of the Scriptures Stored in the Belly

"Princess or princess, there is no need to mention it again." Ying Wuque said with a flick of his sleeves: "I am now General Zhenxi."

"good!"

Zhao Yu couldn't help but say a good word.

Then he smiled and said to Kumuzi: "If there is a master, there will be something like this."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed to the void above Ying Wuque's head, and said: "The purple air soared three feet high into the sky, with the appearance of transforming into a dragon, and the result is a hidden dragon."

Kumuzi stroked his beard and smiled contentedly: "Although I am old, my eyesight is not dim."

Zhao Yu laughed.

After a few casual conversations, we got down to business.

Zhao Yu didn't wait for Ku Muzi and Ying Wuque to speak, and went straight to the point: "Changhe County can be completely handed over to the general. I have my own advice from Prefect Wang, and I will not let the Taoist friends and the general down. It is said that the Taoist friends are planning for the general. It saved me a lot of trouble... Wang Taishou is a good official, but sometimes he is a little foolish and loyal. If the general is to go it alone, and Wang Taishou agrees, I am afraid I will have to use some means. . Now that the general is in charge of the West, his name is justified, and Governor Wang has no reason to refute me."

The position of General Zhenxi has great power. Specifically, the four prefectures, including Xizhou, Liangzhou, Loulan Prefecture, and Ganzhou, have all military and horse power in their hands, and even some important counties and counties that military strategists must compete for can even intervene in government affairs. Of course, this is obvious. In fact, no matter which general Zhenxi takes office, it is impossible to subdue these four states.

Especially now, the situation in Daqin is grim, and the Huangjiao Rebellion broke out, exposing the temple's decline. As a result, many people in the border counties and counties became cautious, and many generals led the troops to support themselves. Therefore, Ying Wuque, the general who suppresses the west, is probably the least powerful in history.

But after all, there is this famous instrument.

Righteousness is at hand.

She could choose any county from these four states as her governorship. Of course, if there is no accident, whether she can digest it depends on her ability.

Not anymore.

Changhe County is the best choice.

"The general should know." Zhao Yu added: "I have made an agreement with Taoist friend Kumuzi long ago - Changhe County must continue as usual. The general wants to seize the tripod and compete with the deer, recruit troops and tax, I can understand it, but don't go too far."

Ying Wuque smiled softly: "Mr. Zhao, does he think that this general is ignorant?"

Kumuzi stroked his beard and said with a smile: "I'm afraid you don't know, but before that, he was the prefect of a county. The counties he led did not pick up leftovers on the road and did not close the door at night. Every family lived in peace and contentment, and his government capabilities were second to none."

Seeing Ying Ying's confidence from the bottom of his heart, Zhao Yu couldn't help but nodded: "That's good."

But he said: "But...since the general previously led a county as governor, his actions must have won the hearts of the people, but why don't you use the county you led as the foundation and have to come to this Xizhou frontier?"

Ying Wuque said: "The county I lead is Nanyang. It is located in the Central Plains, right under the nose of the temple. It is also the place where the four battles were fought. There is no danger to defend. I dare to ask Mr. Zhao, if this general takes Nanyang as his foundation , how to take the first step?”

Zhao Yu suddenly realized: "That's it."

Then he smiled and said: "The general really has a rift in his chest. Although Xizhou is remote, its population and economy are not as prosperous as those in the Central Plains. But there are advantages to every disadvantage..."

"Of course." Ying Wuque said with a smile: "Xizhou is far behind the Central Plains in terms of people's livelihood. But the Xizhou frontier has sent out elite soldiers. I want to seize the tripod, and the soldiers and horses will be the first. What's more, there are barbarians in the four northwest frontier states. I want to use it to train my troops and build up my strength. It’s just a matter of course, but I don’t want to be suspected by the court.”

"Furthermore, although Xizhou is remote, it is easy to defend. The outcome of the chaos in the Central Plains will definitely not be decided in a short time. It is wise not to get involved too early. I am in Xizhou, watching with cold eyes, accumulating strength, and once the opportunity comes, , a thunder strike is the way to go.”

"As for people's livelihood and economy, it is not absolute. The Central Plains is in chaos. I can take this opportunity to recruit refugees and deepen my war potential. At the same time, I can subdue the sudden change of barbarians for my use..."

"The frontier area seems to be poor in resources, but in fact it is not. First, there are many grasslands in the northwest, rich in cattle, sheep and horses. Whether it is used to arm cavalry or sold, it can create huge profits. Second, there is a lot of kerosene in the northwest , salt mines, and the remaining veins of Zhoushan Mountain are rich in various medicinal materials..."

As far as Yingwuque Kankan is concerned, everything from military offensive and defensive strength to people's livelihood development, various resources, and so on, is everything.

It can be seen that his understanding of the northwest frontier fortress is not superficial.

"The northwest is actually rich in resources, so it is not impossible to develop." Finally, she concluded: "The key to poverty and weakness for many years is inconvenient transportation."

At this point, she turned her attention to Kumuzi: "Master has promised me that he will use magical powers to dredge several dangerous places in Zhongjiang and Nanhe and open waterways. In this way, traffic will be smooth and everything will no longer be a problem. .”

After hearing this, Zhao Yu couldn't help but nodded repeatedly, stroking his palms and smiling: "Okay, okay, the general is indeed confident. In this way, I don't have to worry."

Then he smiled and said to Kumuzi: "Fellow Taoist, you really put in a lot of effort."

Kumuzi shook his head: "Old man, I'm from the same sect. Since I've made the right choice, I'll do my best."

Dredging the dangerous areas in the upper reaches of the Zhongjiang River and Nanhe River is not an easy task.

Otherwise, Great Qin would have invited immortal monks to accomplish this all these years ago.

Due to the flow direction of the rivers and dangerous places, they are all formed by earth veins and are the natural creation of heaven and earth. Once it is changed, even the slightest mistake will lead to disaster!

This is a criminal record.

Hundreds of years ago, when the Qin Dynasty was at its peak, an emperor sent out immortal monks to dredge the river. Little did he know that as soon as he started dredging a place, a disaster like an earth dragon turning over occurred.

The disaster was so severe that a section of the Zhongjiang River was diverted, causing disaster to surrounding states and counties. Millions of people were affected!

Such a disaster is unbearable.

Therefore, even though we knew that dredging the river would be of great benefit to the development of the Qin Dynasty and the communication between the East and the West, we could only put it aside.

Zhao Yu shook his head: "Friend Taoist, are you sure? You must know that if dredging the river is successful, the benefits will be infinite. But if it fails..."

Kumuzi smiled helplessly: "Now, what else do you have to worry about?"

Then he said: "Aren't there still Taoist friends?"

Zhao Yu was startled, then laughed and scolded: "You old man, you are planning on me!"

Kumuzi smiled and said: "Apart from Taoist friends, who else can I turn to?"

Ying Wuque on the side said solemnly: "Please don't refuse Mr. Zhao! I know that Mr. Zhao has great powers. As long as Mr. Zhao helps me, I will comply with any request!"

Zhao Yu couldn't help but sigh: "He is a person who does great things."

Then he shook his head.

Kumuzi was stunned: "Fellow Taoist..."

Ying Wuque said anxiously: "Mr. Zhao..."

Zhao Yu waved his hand: "Don't worry, listen to me."

"I can help you. In my eyes, the direction of the earth's veins is like looking at the lines on the palm of my hand. But I won't do it myself. Fellow Taoist Kumuzi, how about I give you the map of the earth's energy veins, and it's up to you to dredge the earth's veins yourself?"

Without waiting for Kumuzi to answer, he added: "As for the conditions..." Zhao Yu smiled and shook his head: "I don't have any requirements."
