Chapter 687: Vertical and Horizontal
"Childe, west of Xianyang, there is no longer a flat place in Guanzhong."
Take a boat in the Weishui, swim up, not five or seven days, you can go directly to the territory of Longxi.
The boat is steady, the person who drives the plank, keeps moving the boat towards the upper reaches of the Weishui, on the deck of the bow, Yun Shu, who is wearing a plain brocade robe, looks left and right, and looks at it, there are mostly mountains undulating, and few plains and open places.
Moreover, the more I go to the land of Longxi, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, fortunately, with the addition of Xuangong, it is okay, but the weather is a little hot after all, and I don't know how the Flame Spirit sisters are now.
In the past few months, although there have been documents, most of them are for the purpose of building a city, and many of them are mundane.
"That's nature, the land of Longxi is recorded in the "Book of Shang", and now most of it has surpassed the place of Zhuxia and Kyushu, hundreds of years ago, the ancestors of Win Qin raised horses and were given the seal in Qinchi."
"During the time of Qin Wugong, the Qin State began to open up to the west, conquering Tai Rong and Ji Rong, and placing Tai County and Ji County, and then Qin Mugong again attacked and destroyed more than 20 countries in Xirong, laying the foundation for winning Qin."
"In this way, there is a foundation land, only Mu Gong is hegemonic, plus forty years ago to attack and destroy the Yiqu country, the scope of Longxi has expanded again, and it is directly close to the location of the Xiongnu in the north."
Since the opening of the Qin State, the first to expand is Longxi, hundreds of years ago, the Central Plains, the Jin State dominated the Central Plains, the Qin State and the Jin State at war, although there are also victories, but more defeats.
Therefore, there is no way, so I have to expand to the west, north, and south, but there is the existence of Yiqu in the north and the existence of Shu in the south, and the most important thing is naturally only the west.
For that period of history, the annals of Xianyang Palace are recorded in great detail, as for the real expansion of the Qin State to the east, it was after Mu Gong, but unfortunately, when the Jin State existed, the Qin State has been staying in the land of Hexi, and even Hangu Pass is not under control.
Only since the filial piety, after the Shang Jun changed the law, he completely walked out of Hexi, controlled Hangu Pass, controlled the land of Hedong, and established Hedong County.
Then it expanded thousands of miles to the east again, and the country of the Three Jin Dynasty, which was originally a country of thousands of miles, almost conquered more than half of the country, and now the radius of Korea is only three or four hundred miles, and the Wei country is only more than a thousand miles.
"Lang Yu saw from the classics that in the land of Longxi, there are few grasslands, deserts, and rivers, Dirong and Xiongnu in the north, and Qiang people in the south, but there seem to be many small countries in the Western Regions."
"The man from the Peacock Country that the old man captured in the Zhao Kingdom came from the Western Regions."
In the airy and cool cabin, Lang Yu was adjusting to Zhenguo Wine, and the shallow light surging up and down his body, a trace of cold and icy air swirled, making the entire cabin more refreshing.
The jade cup is displayed, slowly poured down, a trace of sweet fragrance spreads, Su hand up, dedicated in front, crisp sound rises, for the land of Longxi, the land of the Western Regions, is also really curious.
Since Xinzheng returned to Xianyang, he really didn't go out to play a good game or two, and this time he went to Longxi to inspect through his son, but he could take a look.
"The land of Longxi, far away from the Central Plains, the water vapor is not obvious, the natural grassland desert, along this Weishui upstream, you can know to find the source of Weishui, its west is Lintao, Guanghe, in the forward, is an endless desert."
"There are many high mountains, the rivers are single, therefore, there are few roads, along the desert rivers west of Lintao, thousands of miles forward, you can reach the land of the Western Regions, Qin wanted to continue to expand, but the cost was too great, so there was no westward expansion."
"To the south, there are high mountains towering, and the Qiang people live in it, and there are also many ethnic groups, which can be compared to Baiyue."
Holding it in one hand, take a sip, the cool wine enters the throat, but it is pleasant, the depths of the eyes flicker with a mysterious light, the more west, the terrain is more and more single, the mountains are more and more towering, and the roads are becoming fewer and fewer.
According to the information from Qianhong in the past few months, Zhang Han has gathered a team of 10,000 people, which is in training, and the city has been built.
******
Three days later!
Tracing back to the source, it has reached the land of Shangtai in Longxi.
Four days later!
Arrive at Ji County, go down to Weishui, ride horses, go north to the lake of Tianshui, according to the king book issued by the brother of the king of the last year, take the lake of Tianshui within a radius of 500 miles as their fief.
It is rumored that thousands of years ago, the vast area north of Weishui was sparsely populated, with few houses left, and the land of Dijon was constantly conquest with each other, so that it was even more sparsely populated.
Then, one night, suddenly the wind howled, thunder and lightning combined, a golden light shone brightly, and a golden light appeared on the ground, and then, the earth shook continuously, and in the rumbling loud noise, a huge crack was cracked. 、
I saw the water of the heavenly river pouring down, pouring into the cracked cracks, forming a great lake, which is the lake of heavenly water.
The lake is clear, and not long after it appeared, a radius of hundreds of miles is densely populated by human eyes, and the houses are adjacent, but unfortunately, Dijon is endless, and there is no peace, it is more like a place where tribes are constantly migrating.
None of the old scholars in the land of Longxi want to see other families occupy that land, and it has survived to this day, although there are many people, but there is no unified city to manage.
Six days later!
The group entered the land of Pingxiang, which was only thirty miles away from the Tianshui Lake, and according to the Qianhong text, they stayed in it before the city was built.
"Qianhong, meet your lord!"
The news of his trip to Longxi has already been conveyed, and some people have teleported along the way, Zhou Qing held the reins in his hand, and looked from a distance, in front of the city of Pingxiang, there was already a familiar figure.
"Pingxiang County ordered Lu Sha to meet Marquis Wu Zhen!"
"Pingxiang County Chengbai Road to meet Wu Zhenhou!"
Of course, it is also indispensable to the county order and county Cheng of Pingxiang City, all middle-aged, neatly dressed, solemn eyebrows, close to the bow of the hand, in ten years, this is the first time that a big man has arrived in their Pingxiang City.
With honor.
Moreover, according to the words of the white girl a few months ago, the land within a radius of five hundred in Tianshui Lake is the fief of Marquis Wu Zhen, and the city of Pingxiang where he is located is also in it, so he dare not be rude.
"Let's go ahead of the city."
Turning over and dismounting, facing the eyes of everyone, Zhou Qing couldn't help nodding, and his spiritual sense sensed the heaven and earth here, and the difference between water and air was much different from Xianyang.
In the county government, a banquet was held.
The unique roast sheep and roast beef in the land of Longxi come out, and there is a jar of secret mare's milk wine, all kinds of dishes are also unique, taste one or two, it is also excellent, but there is the feeling of the land of Longxi.
When I entered the city of Pingxiang, it was already noon, and all things were gone, and the time had passed.
"My lord, it has been more than five months since the city site was planned, and the foundation of the city within a radius of nine miles has been established, and now it is speeding up the progress of the division, not surprisingly, in the past two years, a new city can appear."
"Standing on the shore of Tianshui Lake, densely populated, after the city is built, I am afraid that within five years, it will become a rich city, which is comparable to the city of Didao, Shouyang, and Lintao."
In a large mansion in Pingxiang City, where Bai Qianhong and his party stayed.
In the main hall, Zhou Qingjing sat at the top, slowly looking at the drawings on the case with one hand, as well as all the information about Longxi and the Western Regions, and Bai Qianhong was talking about the progress of the city's construction.
With the manpower, material resources, and financial resources of Longxi, it is easy to build a city.
"Well, the most important thing now is to finish the city."
"As for the follow-up, it's not too late to figure it out slowly, where is Zhang Han now?"
It's just that the situation in Longxi itself is not complicated, but when you look beyond Longxi, everything is completely different, and it is precisely because of this that Zhang Han has trained a team of 10,000 people.
"Zhang Han should be training in Tongwei at this moment, and the 10,000-person team has been recruited and registered."
"Mo Crow, Bai Feng, and Parrot Song should be taking Xiao Wu and them to travel in the country of Wusun and the country of the Yue clan at this moment, and those two foreign countries are entrenched on the main road west of Longxi."
"If you want to get through the countries of the Western Regions as your lord said, you have to go through these two small countries, and the journey is not less than a thousand miles!"
In the past few months, Bai Qianhong has also learned a lot about the local and external situation in Longxi, although it is located in a remote area, but it is a small country, although I don't know the current situation of the countries in the Western Regions, but there is a lot of information about Wusun and Yueshi.
The country of Wusun, located in the west of the big river and east of the Qilian Mountains, is red-haired and blue-eyed, quite strange, with as many as five or six hundred thousand people and more than 100,000 people who control the strings, which can be compared to today's weak Han.
The country of the Yue clan is located in the west of the big river, north of the Qilian Mountains, adjacent to the Xiongnu, the same tall stature, the hair color is very different from the Central Plains, the people of its country are slightly more, but less than a million, and there are more than 100,000 people who control the strings.
The two countries occupy the main road west of Longxi, and although there is news of the countries of the Western Regions, it is difficult to spread it.
"Since the main road is blocked, then there are only two ways left for them."
"Zhang Han just needs to train the army, Qianhong, these two countries should be enough for you to practice."
Wusun and Yueshi are still in the Qilian Mountains and the west of the Great River, but as Zhou Qing expected, although the strength of the two countries is not strong, it cannot be underestimated, but it is precisely because of the adjacency of the two countries that there is more room for operation.
Giving Qianhong a few years is enough to satisfy herself.
"I won't disappoint the adults."
Since it is a country, and its strength is not weak, as long as it has a certain ambition, then it is the domain of the Guigu Valley, and the two countries may not be able to play the situation of the sandpiper and the clam competing hundreds of years ago, and the fisherman profiting.
At that time, these two countries were not hindered, directly expanding their territory for thousands of miles, extending their power to the Western Regions, gathering soldiers, and then merging with the Mengtian army in Beidi County and Jiuyuan, and it was not impossible for the Xiongnu to do so.
It is that the Qiang tribe on the south side is a little difficult to do, they live in the high mountains, many mountains and forests, even if they conquer, it does not have much effect, and those tribes live very barbarian, faintly in line with the Zhuxia tribes three generations ago.
It's not right to spend a lot of money now.
