Chapter 713 City of Steel (1)

Chapter 713

"It seems that when we build the city, there are really many people who care about it?"

Wang Chong looked at the sky with a half-smile.

"It's not just these scouting hawks. From the first day around our fiefdom, we don't know how many people from the Western Regions, Turkic people, Uzbek Tibetans, big cannibals, Tiaozhi people, and Goguryeo people appeared every day. They either Disguised as jewel merchants from the Western Regions, or disguised as horse dealers, or disguised as Dashi sword merchants, they are constantly monitoring and checking around. We have driven several times, but there is still a steady stream.”

Zhang Shou's way. He glanced into the distance, worried.

Wang Chong looked calm, and followed Zhang Shouzhi's gaze to the distance, and he saw a few miles away, small black shadows standing on the low hills, looking at here.

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

Zhang Shou's way.

"Oh, no need."

Wang Chong waved his hand and said calmly, with a nonchalant expression:

"If someone builds a city, someone will definitely pay attention to it, and those who can't be killed cleanly. As long as the Uzbek Tibetans, Turkic people, big cannibals, and Tiaozhi people have a heart, they will continue to send out scouts to find out news. Keep them. "

Wang Chong had a calm demeanor, and there was a convincing power in his expression. Whether it was the hawks above his head or the scouts around, to Wang Chong, they were nothing more than mosquito bites. Since he dared to build a city here, he was not afraid of others to inquire about the news.

"However, Lord Hou, there is one more piece of news. I don't know if I should tell it or not?"

Zhang Shouzhi hesitated, with fear and hesitation in his eyes.

"oh?"

A light flashed in Wang Chong's eyes, he turned his head and subconsciously looked at Zhang Shouzhi. Having been in contact with Zhang Shouzhi for so long, and going through life and death together, Zhang Shouzhi has always given him the feeling that he is straightforward and straightforward, never so hesitant and full of worries.

"What's the matter? Is there anything you can't say in front of me."

"It's fine for people from Uzang, Dashi, and Turks. After all, they are all reasonable. Our position is too special, just stuck in the place where their forces intersect. But during this period of time, apart from them, we have also discovered Scouts from Beiting, Anxi, Qixi and Longxi,

Lord Hou, this is not good for us! "

Zhang Shouzhi said, with a deep sadness hanging over his brows.

Beiting Duhufu, Anxi Duhufu, Qixi Duhufu, and Longxi Beidou Army, as long as they are in the Tang Dynasty, they understand deeply what the meanings of these names represent.

It is reasonable for Wang Chong to become famous in the Southwest War and receive the attention of foreign countries. But if even Beiting, Anxi, Qixi and Longxi sent people over, it would be very bad.

Wang Chong frowned slightly, and fell silent for a while.

Beiting is An Sishun, Anxi is Gao Xianzhi, Qixi is Fumeng Lingcha, and Longxi is Ge Shuhan. These people are all important generals in the empire. , the status is extremely prominent.

It is not easy for ordinary people to get the attention of one of them, but Wang Chong received the attention of four imperial generals at the same time.

"Jedushi event!"

A flash of lightning flashed in Wang Chong's mind, and his heart became clear.

These four generals of the empire are usually separated from each other, and they don't have much contact with each other in private. In fact, the empire strictly forbids these powerful generals from colluding in private.

But despite this, the four people have one thing in common, that is, the Jiedushi incident, Wang Chong wrote a memorial, completely offending them.

All four of them had once reported to the court that they wanted to kill Wang Chong, and they single-handedly caused him to be thrown into the prison.

"This is the post-autumn reckoning!"

Wang Chong secretly said in his heart.

Regarding the Jiedushi incident, I was far away in the capital and had family protection, so even Ge Shuhan, Fumeng Lingcha and other imperial generals could not do much against him. But it's different now, I came to Wushang, established a fiefdom and built a city at the junction of the four forces, and with the temper of the four, I would allow myself to build a city under their noses, that's really strange.

Although Wushang is close to the Silk Road, its geographical location is also very special. It is hundreds of miles away to the left of it, which is the edge of the Uzbek Plateau, where Uzbek's iron cavalry can take advantage of the trend.

And its northeast direction, more than 500 miles, is the edge of the Western Turkic Khanate, which belongs to the territory of the Turkic Shaboluo Khan. Although there is a distance of more than five hundred miles, this is nothing to the cavalry.

And along the Silk Road to the northwest, walking all the way, at the end of the road, more than two thousand miles away, is the Anxi Governor's Mansion, under the command of the Anxi Governor Gao Xianzhi.

This road is so important, so any move to build a city on the Silk Road will attract the attention of all parties.

Originally, the imperial court set up the Qixi Protectorate here to reject the Turkic Khanate in the east and the Uzbek Empire in the west. In addition, there were the Protector of Anxi, the Protector of Beiting, and the Longxi Great Fighting Army to assist and restrain them. It can completely protect the safety of business travelers on this "Silk Road".

But it happened that all the chief guards of the guard mansion were offended by Wang Chong.

Wang Chong is building a city in Wushang, it's hard to say whether these people will play tricks!

If there are Uzbek Tibetans or Western Turkic people rushing over, it is hard to say whether they will help, or even more directly, these generals and generals will not do anything on purpose, and it is wrong to let some Uzbek Tibetans and Turkic people come over. Very likely.

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

These are the questions that Wang Chong has to consider

"Don't worry, there is no big problem!"

Unexpectedly, Wang Chong smiled and quickly returned to normal:

"Since I dare to build a city in Wushang, I have all the preparations. Moreover, the city of steel has just been established, and I have been named a marquis not long ago. Everyone is paying attention to this matter. Even Ge Shuhan, Gao Xianzhi, Fumeng Lingcha, An Sishun and the others would never dare to make a mistake at this time, otherwise it would be too obvious. They are both generals of the empire, giants of Jufang, and they would not do such childish things."

"During this period, no matter how uncomfortable they are and how dissatisfied they are with us, they still have to help us guard the boundaries of this section!"

A high status has its benefits, but also its constraints. Gao Xianzhi, Ge Shuhan, Fumeng Lingcha, and An Sishun are the generals of the empire, and their rank is Gao Juelong, but at the same time, it also means that their every move has been paid attention to by the government and the opposition, and everyone, so many things are absolute. What can't be done, at least, can't be too obvious.

"This...it is true!"

Zhang Shouzhi nodded. After all, he was a master of civil engineering in the imperial palace. He had also come into contact with many dignitaries and dignitaries, so he knew more or less the politics of the court. He knew that what Wang Chong said was indeed true.

No matter how displeased and loathed Wang Chong was by the generals and generals of the empire, they had to endure it for a while. Not only have to endure, but also find a way to protect him. Otherwise, even the Holy Emperor would blame him if something happened at that time.

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

"However, even so, it is only the beginning. We are building a city in Wushang, after all, it is their territory. After this period of time, what should we do?"

Zhang Shou's way.

The Silk Road is very long, very long. It seems that Wang Chong wants to build a city here, but it seems to be very random, but it is not. The reason is that business travelers on the Silk Road will only think of finding a place to stay when they start their journey for a long distance, and at the same time, there is a desert in front of them, and there is no shop to rest.

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

And there are not many places that meet this condition.

And Ushang is the best of them all!

First of all, it is very far from the capital, and the business travelers are very tired here. As for Wushang, not far ahead is Qixi, and not far away is a vast desert.

Qi, is the desert, which is the origin of Qixi's name.

Under the influence of the desert, the weather here is very dry, which makes people more and more tired. The most obvious is that you need to replenish water when you get here. This is the most substantial.

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

On the other hand, even Dashi, Tiaozhi, and businessmen from the Western Regions would like to rest their feet, replenish some things, and recuperate their spirits when they arrive here. Because it is a long way from here to the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and there is nothing to add after that.

The existence of the surrounding Uz-Tibet and Western Turkic Khanate also made Wang Chong's "Steel City" all the more precious, because it provided a refuge for pedestrians.

Therefore, Wang Chong didn't have much choice in where he could establish a fiefdom.

Zhang Shouzhi knew Wang Chong's ambitions, and he also knew that he built the city here not just to make some money. In the "Lion City" of the Southwest, it has already been proved beyond doubt.

Anyone who thinks that Wang Chong really only wants to make money is really a fool. Meng Shezhao obviously did such a fool once.

However, everything has a price.

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

"Haha, don't worry, the soldiers will block you, and the water will flood you. I have already arranged everything. As long as you get through the initial stage, I will give them a big surprise next."

Wang Chong patted Zhang Shouzhi's shoulder and said indifferently.

In Wushang Village, Li Siye has already started recruiting. Wang Chong had already taught him all the training methods of the "black-scarred cavalry". Next, he will stay in that Wushang Village for a long time, and will not leave Wushang Village until he completes the initial training and come to the City of Steel.

To be honest, Wang Chong had already begun to have some expectations in his heart. This "black-scarred iron cavalry", which will be famous all over the world in the future, will make its first trial in this world!

Zhang Shouzhi looked confused, Wang Chong's plans were always far-reaching. Even after following Wang Chong for so long, he didn't understand what Wang Chong relied on. However, despite doubts, there is one thing Zhang Shouzhi can be sure of:

Wang Chong has already made arrangements for everything. This is the most important!

After following Wang Chong for so long, although Zhang Shouzhi is not a member of the army, he has built up great confidence in him just like a member of the army.
