Chapter 508: The Secret of Chiyou City
[PS: Congratulations to Ji Yinghu for being promoted to the head, and will choose an opportunity to add another chapter, thanks! ! ! 】
Red clouds overwhelm the top, and the wind is bitter.
Ouyang Shuo led his troops to walk in the wilderness, feeling the different customs of Wuzhou County.
When passing Mowangpo, I could faintly smell the scent of sweet-scented osmanthus in the air. In this chilling wilderness, such a strange fragrance is really refreshing and refreshing.
"Where is this?"
"Returning to Junhou, the hillside here is where Chi You previously stationed his troops."
"Is there an osmanthus tree on the mountain?"
"That's right. There is an entire osmanthus forest on the top of the mountain, which is really spectacular. It's just that the climate in the wilderness has changed suddenly recently, and the osmanthus that had just bloomed all withered overnight."
Hearing this, Ouyang Shuo silently glanced at the top of the mountain with an unpredictable expression.
After a long time, Ouyang Shuo spoke again, saying, "Since this is the place where Chi You garrisons are accompanied by sweet-scented osmanthus, it can be regarded as a place of good geomantic omen. Let's bury Chi You on the top of the mountain!"
Originally, Ouyang Shuo planned to take Chi You back to Chi You City for burial, but he changed his mind temporarily.
"promise!"
The army stopped there and held a simple funeral for Chi Youdi on the top of the mountain.
As soon as the funeral was over, Ouyang Shuo heard a system notification sound.
"System prompt: Congratulations to the player Qiyue Wuyi, who buried the leader of the Shanman, Chi You, with both kindness and power. The act of benevolence touched the Shanman, and the loyalty of all the Shanman increased by 10 points at once."
Ouyang Shuo let out a long sigh when he heard this.
From what happened to Chi You, Ouyang Shuo couldn't help feeling that in the great cause of hegemony in the wilderness, one's combat power is limited after all. If you want to make a difference, you need the help of talented people.
Although Ouyang Shuo's military strength is constantly increasing, his heart is as firm as iron, and he will never be dazzled by personal bravery.
The breeze blew by, taking away Ouyang Shuo's sigh and bringing the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus.
The army set off, and Demon King Po became quiet again.
Since then, every golden autumn and October, the sweet-scented osmanthus in Mowangpo always blooms exceptionally luxuriantly, and the fragrance wafts for miles, becoming a well-known scenic spot.
And who knew that a generation of demon gods would sleep here forever.
***********
On October 25th of the second year of Gaia, Chiyou City.
After four days of marching, Ouyang Shuo and his party finally arrived outside Chiyou City. And as early as a day ago, Shi Hu had led the vanguard and rushed to Chiyou City ahead of schedule, announcing the results of the Battle of Wuzhou to the whole city.
Hearing that the leader Chi You died in battle and the army was wiped out, all the mountain barbarians in the city were silent for a while, and then there was an uproar. Especially when Ouyang Shuo was crowned as the [Barbarian King], it caused huge waves in the city.
All the surprises finally converged into one sentence.
"Chiyou City, the sky is about to change!"
At that time, there were people rioting in the city, and Shi Hu resolutely suppressed them with iron and blood.
As a vanguard officer, Shi Hu's duty is to ensure that Chiyou City is placed under the rule of Shanhai City before the Junhou rushes to Chiyou City, and there must be no second voice in the city.
Otherwise, it would be his dereliction of duty as a vanguard officer.
Of course, there are not no happy people in the city. At the very least, the Han people in Chiyou City were full of joy, but they dared not show it in front of the Shanman.
Shanman's powerful rule over the past year has left a shadow in the hearts of the Han people.
At the south gate, the patriarchs of various tribes in Chiyou City, including some core figures, were organized by Shi Hu early in the morning, and lined up neatly on both sides of the gate, waiting for Ouyang Shuo's arrival.
According to the concept of the ancient city, Zhengnanmen is the highest gate in the city. The Zhengnan Gate of the capital is also known as the "National Gate". The "Daming Gate" in the Ming Dynasty and the "Daqing Gate" in the Qing Dynasty are both Zhengnan Gates.
Ouyang Shuo entered the city through the south gate, which was an oath that couldn't be more clear. From now on, Ouyang Shuo is the new owner of Chiyou City, and even the entire Wuzhou County.
The patriarchs stood outside the city, suffering from the cold wind, they didn't dare to complain on their faces, but there were complaints in their hearts. For Ouyang Shuo, the new king, he really recognized it before he knew it.
However, the vanguard troops led by Shi Hu were overwhelmed with swords and axes, and they couldn't help themselves.
The army in Chi You City was all recruited by Chi You, and the rest were some servants, no matter how they were the opponents of the vanguard, they had surrendered obediently long ago.
In the hands of the various tribes in the city, there is no military force that can compete with Shihu.
Chi You also took thorough precautions against each tribe, and all the elite fighters of each tribe were selected into the army. The major tribes are not allowed to keep private soldiers.
Even so, they still had a little luck, maybe this was a lie at all. In other words, when the mountain barbarian army returned, the patriarchs would be able to recall the disciples with an order.
Unfortunately, when the mighty army appeared outside the city, the patriarchs were immediately dumbfounded.
In the dense army formation, Ouyang Shuo was wearing bright light armor and a scarlet cloak, riding Qingfu Mawang, surrounded by Shenwuwei and Shanman warriors, walking slowly.
Undoubtedly, this action has already represented the mountain barbarian warriors of various ministries, and has recognized the [Barbarian King]'s rule.
With no soldiers in hand, there is no reason to explain.
The complexions of the patriarchs immediately turned pale, with bitterness in their hearts.
When passing by the patriarchs, Ouyang Shuo didn't get off his horse at all, and went directly into the city surrounded by Shenwuwei.
The mighty army marched into Chiyou city one by one.
It was only at this time that the Han people in the city confirmed the news that the demon god Chiyou was really dead. The new ruler of Chiyou City is a Marquis, and most importantly, a Han.
Immediately, countless Han people went to the streets to watch the grand occasion of the army entering the city.
From time to time, there were bursts of cheers, one higher than the other.
This was the first time that Ouyang Shuo received such a warm welcome when he entered the city. The soldiers of Shenwuwei and Imperial Guard Division held their heads high, like heroes returning from victory.
The mountain man in the city watched the army with complicated expressions.
There is confusion, but also awe.
After entering the city, Ouyang Shuo immediately ordered Shi Hu to lead four independent mountain barbarian divisions to enter the military camp in the city. It is forbidden for any idlers to enter or leave the barracks.
Even the mountain barbarians are not allowed to contact their family members.
Ouyang Shuo didn't want to give the Shanman tribes the opportunity to meet their children.
Who knows what kind of moths those patriarchs will make.
The city defense of Chiyou City was fully taken over by the Imperial Guard Division. Naturally, all the guards of the City Lord's Mansion were replaced by Shenwuwei. In this way, no one can cause chaos in the city.
Seeing that Ouyang Shuo was so cautious, the expressions of all the patriarchs who had small thoughts became even more ugly.
After everything settled down, Ouyang Shuo still didn't meet the patriarchs, determined to put them aside. Instead, he asked someone to move the files of Wuzhou County to the study for him to read.
The more he looked, the angrier Ouyang Shuo became, and his face turned ugly.
Along the way, Ouyang Shuo already had a premonition of the dire situation in Wuzhou County. The livelihood of the people in various places is declining, the rulers of the mountain barbarians implement a high-pressure policy, and the confrontation between the mountain barbarians and the Han people is serious, and so on.
After reading the file, Ouyang Shuo was speechless.
The entire Wuzhou County is not organized at all, it is completely Chi You's private territory.
There are no professional officials in each city.
Some are just dignitaries of various ethnic groups in the Shanman, dominating the local area.
A county does not even have a decent industry.
In addition to farming, mining, and building weapons and equipment, there is no shadow of a businessman.
The total population of Wuzhou County is also the lowest among the counties, roughly half of that of Lianzhou County. A large number of Han people left their hometowns. They would rather become refugees again than flee Wuzhou County.
The more Ouyang Shuo looked at it, the more frustrated he became, he simply threw the file away, out of sight and out of mind. Let Fan Zhongyan clean up this mess.
The only thing that comforted Ouyang Shuo was probably the treasury in Chi You City.
Wuzhou County is backed by the Shiwan Mountain, and the mountain man has discovered two large gold mines in the mountain. Because there was no business, Chi You had nowhere to spend the mined gold coins, and piled them up in a mess in the treasury.
Preliminary estimates, no less than 100,000 gold coins.
The initial construction cost of Wuzhou County has been settled.
Ouyang Shuo invested in the purchase of iron ore and coal from the financial income of the territory in the past few months, so there was absolutely no extra funds to support the construction of Wuzhou County.
Originally, Ouyang Shuo was ready to live on debt again.
In Chi You's room, Ouyang Shuo also found two booklets.
A book called "Jiuli Blood Domain Scripture", specifically about the training methods of the mountain barbarian blood guards.
Ouyang Shuo glanced at it hastily, and immediately closed it. The training method described in the book is really too cruel, it hurts the peace of the world, even Ouyang Shuo can't stand it.
After thinking about it for a while, Ouyang Shuo decided to set fire to the "Jiuli Blood Region Scripture". This kind of sorcery shouldn't be kept in the world, so it should be burned to avoid harming living beings.
The other half of the booklet is called "Jiuli Nine Forging Methods", which tells about the forging skills of the Jiuli people. The armor of the mountain barbarian army has its unique features, all of which come from this method.
That's not bad.
If it is sent to the War Preparedness Department, it should have something to learn from the research and development of Shanhai City's weapons and equipment.
Other than that, there are some sundries, not worth mentioning.
Strictly speaking, Chi You is not a hedonist personally. The place where they live is also extremely simple, without any gorgeous things.
Even maids are extremely rare.
The only downside, I guess, is that it's a little too cruel. According to the servants in the mansion, when Chi You came to the wilderness, he still liked to eat blood. Large pieces of beef, bloody, are eaten raw.
Ouyang Shuo was speechless after hearing this.
After strolling around the City Lord's Mansion for a while, Ouyang Shuo got up and left, and decided to go to the compound where Chi You trained the blood guards to take a look.
Although the "Jiuli Bloodland Scripture" had been burned by Ouyang Shuo, but he didn't take a look at the scene, Ouyang Shuo always felt a little bit unwilling.
Humans are curious.
The entire compound is uninhabited for a hundred meters around, and it is simply a restricted area. Even if Chi You led his troops to leave, no one dared to enter the compound to find out.
