Chapter 486 The Key! Lion City!

Chapter four hundred and eighty six

Entering from the iron field, there is a huge fortress in the middle, without windows, all made of fine iron more than three feet thick, with a layer of defensive inscriptions attached to the fine iron, which is extremely strong.

This is where the Zhang family in the capital kept their weapons.

Wang Chong's Uzi steel weapons are stored here.

Wang Chong walked over, randomly picked one of the Uzi steel sword embryos piled up in the center, picked it up, and looked at it carefully. There are no windows in the fortress, but there are night pearls blooming brightly on the top.

With the soft light of the night pearl, you can see that the lines of the Uzi steel sword are very smooth. Although it has not undergone the final quenching and other processes, the outline of the sword embryo has been forged beautifully and has a great sense of beauty.

"The craftsmen of the Zhang family in the capital are really good!"

Wang Chong looked at the sword embryo, did not speak, but nodded in his heart.

A thousand Uzi steel swords is no small matter, and it needs to be forged day and night in such a short period of time. What Wang Chong is most worried about is that the Zhang family in the capital may be perfunctory in this process.

But the facts have proved that the Zhang family still attaches great importance to it.

Each of these Uzi steel sword embryos has been tempered and tempered, and a lot of effort has been devoted to it. For this precious forging material, the craftsmen of the Zhang family cherish it far more than Wang Chong imagined.

After looking back and forth for a while, Wang Chong weighed the sword again, then nodded.

"good!"

Each of these wootz steel sword embryos is heavy in the hand, and they are all pure woozi steel. Wang Chong manages the Utz steel with his own hands. Every weapon of Utz steel needs to pass through his hands in the end. He is very familiar with the weight of these Utz steel.

Wootz steel cannot be doped with other miscellaneous iron, otherwise it will be ruined!

"Send these weapons to me first, and send the rest over here!"

Wang Chong put down the Uzi steel sword embryo and said.

For the Zhang family in the capital, Wang Chong was completely relieved.

Coming out of the iron yard of the Zhang family in the capital, Wang Chong went straight to the cave outside the city. Afterwards, the Wuzi steel sword embryos from the Zhang family in the capital were also continuously sent into the cave.

time passed slowly,

Wang Chong completely forgot about the outside world, and devoted all his attention to the training of Uzis steel weapons.

Batches of Wuzi steel swords passed through Wang Chong's hands continuously, were sent out from the cave, entered Zhige Mountain, and then, together with the Tianwai Iron Helmets of the Zhang family in the capital and several other families, were assigned to a famous family. On the body of the real martial arts master who recruited.

"Your soldiers are better than more expensive." With these weapons, the elite army of thousands of people that Wang Chong expected is slowly taking shape.

Time was running out, and when Wang Chong turned his ears off, cut off contact, and devoted himself to tempering the Uzi steel sword in the cave, the outside world had already turned upside down.

The war in the southwest affected the entire empire and the hearts of thousands of people, and news continued to come from the southwest every day.

Details about the defeat in the Southwest War were constantly being unearthed. The more they know, the more entangled their hearts become.

A few days later, a letter from the front line of the southwest battlefield caused a sensation in the entire capital:

It has been nearly half a month since Xianyu Zhongtong led the 180,000 Tang elites from the southwest to the present, and the court finally received Xianyu Zhongtong's letter.

This is a letter asking for help!

The letter said that the food support in the "Lion City" would not last long, and at most it would be exhausted for a while, and requested the court to allocate food quickly.

Then Xianyu Zhongtong's seal was stamped on the back.

From this letter, everyone knew for the first time that there were still 80,000 of the 180,000 troops of the Annan Protectorate, and that these troops hid in a place called Lion City. Among the countless days and nights of worrying, this is undoubtedly the most comforting.

But soon, something puzzling came out. What exactly is the Lion City?

Where the hell is that place?

Why can the local area stop the attack of the hundreds of thousands of troops of Meng Shezhao and Uzang?

Countless questions came to mind!

Officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Officials were quickly summoned to the court to ask questions about the Lion City. But a jaw-dropping thing happened. After asking all the officials of the household department and the official department, no one knew what this lion was and where it was?

What is even more surprising is that the Lion City is not found on the map of Datang. Even the imperial court knew the Southwest Jiange like the back of their hands, and the veterans who had lived there for decades didn't know what the Lion City was or where it was located!

This conclusion has left countless people dumbfounded, and it is simply unacceptable!

Immediately, a large number of spies were scattered to the southwest, and the lives of 80,000 elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were at stake, and no one dared to ignore it.

Because everyone knows that the remaining 80,000 soldiers are the last barrier of the southwest gate. With them, they can contain the two foreign empires, making them dare not act rashly.

Without them, Meng Shezhao and Wu Sizang would no longer have any scruples, and the coalition forces formed by Ge Luofeng, Daqin Ruozan, and Huoshu Guizang would go deep, and no one would be able to resist them throughout the southwest, all the way to Longxi.

However, when countless people were inquiring about the location of the Lion City, the unexpected reversal came from a small official in the Ministry of War who followed Zhangchou Jianqiong.

He suddenly remembered that Wang Chong had mentioned the idea of ​​building a city in the southwest when Zhangchou Jianqiong went to Beijing for a banquet and invited Uncle Wang Gen.

And later, there was someone beside Wang Chong, who even asked him for advice. At that time, it was vaguely mentioned that the place where the city was built was in Lion Mountain.

When the news came out, everyone was dumbfounded.

And when it was further confirmed that the Wang family had indeed sent a large number of guards to the southwest more than half a year ago, and transported a large amount of materials, and Wang Chong had also transported a million taels of gold to the southwest, the entire government and the public were shocked!

The impact this incident had on the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty was unimaginable. Even Wang Chong's uncle, Wang Gen, was shocked and speechless.

He knew that Wang Chong asked Zhangchou Jianqiong for land. And at that time, he was right next to him. But even Wang Gen didn't know that the Lion City, which occupied an important strategic position in the Southwest War, was actually built by Wang Chong, and it was more than half a year ago!

By this time, even the most unresponsive person could vaguely feel something.

Could it be that the kid from the Wang family had predicted this war half a year ago and built this important and strategic city?

This idea is unbelievable to countless people.

"Crazy, crazy! This is totally crazy!"

"How could he know that Datang and Meng Shezhao will have a decisive battle there?"

"Impossible! A fool would build a city there for war! And how could he know that Meng Shezhao and Datang would fight there?"

"The ancient tea-horse road is of great interest. If it is not for war, is it still for business? Would you build a city there and invest millions of taels of gold for business?"

"This……"

The person who refuted was immediately stunned.

A war that involved 180,000 Tang elites, 300,000 Mengshezhao troops, and nearly a million Li people in the southwest was finally decided by an unremarkable family member in the imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty. No one could have imagined.

This is simply unbelievable!

No matter what the truth was, and whether it was for business or war, in short, Wang Chong and the Leo, which was thousands of miles away, attracted the attention of all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

One letter after another was sent to the Wang family on the spot, and the documents requested by the court were also sent to Wang Chong at the same time.

It's just that at this time, Wang Chong has flawlessly taken into account the controversy in the court...
