Zimengchuan is the nest of the Xianbei Yuwen Department in the early years, and the environment is more superior than other places in Liaobian. There are not too steep mountains, and there are many flat and fertile soils, and there is no shortage of forests and rivers, which are very suitable for fishing and hunting to make a living.

Now the Murong Department and its righteous servants are gathered in Zimengchuan in large numbers. However, there are not many people who actually stay in the camp, and the frozen soil of the fields has been ploughed, while more people haunt the mountains and rivers, collecting fishing and hunting to replenish supplies.

This is also one of Murong's troubles, the Liao Wilderness is too barren and lacking in property, even if a leader like him can enjoy very limited materials, not to mention other ordinary people. Murong Ping and other short-sighted clansmen couldn't bear to give up their trade and trade benefits with the southern country, which was actually human nature.

On the occasion of the New Year, several rounds of troops have consumed the few reserves of the Murong Ministry, and if it were not for the slight replenishment of the Lingzhi in Liaoxi, coupled with the fact that Murong immediately decided to take refuge in the Qianguo Kingdom and received some material assistance in Youzhou, it would not even be enough to maintain the gathering of many clansmen here.

For a person with great ambitions, this dilemma of reality is simply torture. Although the state of the state of Qi was already in jeopardy, a little material leaking out of his fingers could greatly benefit the entire Murong Ministry.

Not to mention the Southern Kingdom, it is said that there are hundreds of thousands of professional armorers who are completely out of production alone, and this kind of strength has even exceeded Murong's cognitive limit to some extent.

The Dragon City that Murong wanted to build was located in the southwest of the Zimeng River, on a high slope near the mountains and waters. In the early years, there was no shortage of construction foundations here, but it was destroyed when the Youzhou army plundered this realm, and now it can only start from scratch.

Although it is now late spring, this area is still deep in permafrost, which is not suitable for large-scale construction. However, Murong hoped that before the arrival of midsummer, at least a framework for the city could be built, so as to demonstrate the strength of the Murong tribe in the Zimengchuan Alliance, which was scheduled to be held in July.

Moreover, having such a new city as the core of the ruling is of great significance for the great changes in China that followed, whether it is to recruit the remnants of the kingdom of China, or to resist the possible incursions.

Because of Murong's strict order, it is necessary to catch up with the construction period at any cost, even if all the tribesmen collected in the Liaoxi Lingzhi are consumed here, they will not hesitate.

In addition to dealing with the daily affairs of the clan, Murong had to personally come here almost every day to supervise the progress of the project, and today was naturally no exception. In order to avoid being resisted and harassed by those hard servants, Murong Fan went to Longcheng to inspect, and the soldiers who escorted him before and after at least had thousands of horsemen.

The old name of Gaogang, where the dragon city is located, is no longer traceable, and now it is named Longshoupi. Right now, the entire dragon's head is full of densely packed, ragged, and numb laborers. The rocks and giant trees mined in the surrounding mountains are also piled up on the left side of the slope to be used.

At present, the people of the Murong tribe are still lacking in food and clothing, and they will not give preferential treatment to meet these soldiers, because these hard laborers are really working with one breath, and there are countless typhoid diseases, exhaustion and starvation. In a deep ditch located on the west side of Longshoupi, I don't know how many lives have been filled into it.

"Slow, still too slow. Is there any other way to do the follow-up work? There are many great things in the south of the country, do they have ingenious methods to learn from? ”

After inspecting the dragon head, seeing that it had been so long that even the basic foundation of the city had not been completed, such a progress naturally made Murong very dissatisfied, so he asked the left attaché for advice.

The one who is really responsible for the supervision and construction of Longcheng is Pingyang Crane in the right north. Although the Murong Department has recruited a lot of Chinese and Korean scholars over the years, the number of people who really take refuge in the whole clan is not much, and after the Bohai Feng clan was exterminated, the Beipingyang clan has become one of the few Shiliu portals in the Murong Department.

Different from the high-profile of the Bohai Feng clan, the Beiping Yang clan is not very visible in Liaodi, but since the Murong period, Yang Yu's father Yang Tan has followed Ren Shi and won the trust and trust of Murong.

Up to now, the Beipingyang clan is also deeply rooted and leafy in Liaodi, and its influence is great. For example, Yang Hu served as the law enforcement department in the old years, and after Murong was named the king of Yan, he appointed him as the left chief of the Yan Palace.

Hearing the Lord's question, Yang Hu stepped forward and bowed his head and said: "It is not yet known whether there is a skill in the southern country, but the deepest problem in the current construction period is that the soil layer is frozen deep, which is more solid than the stubborn stone. ”

Yang Hu is not shirking responsibility when he says this, although there are a lot of workers in Longshou at present, even the most basic tools are a little lacking. After the soil layer is shallow digging, it is frozen and cannot be excavated, and even needs to be poured with boiling water in a large pot to release the frost. This is not only a lot of trouble, but also a huge waste of manpower and material resources.

"Slow down the rest of the month? Why don't you strike right here? The living people are on the ground, and the flesh and blood deserve it when the foreign enemy intrudes on it? ”

Hearing Yang Hu's nonsense, Murong's face sank, and seeing that the Lord was really angry, Yang Hu and the others hurriedly bowed and pleaded guilty.

Although he was unhappy in his heart, Murong still bent down and pulled up Yang Hu after venting a little.

He has his own place to rely on his own people, the tribe is small, and he can still rely on his diligence and personal help, but he is as powerful as the Murong Department, and his affairs are complicated and complicated. And this aspect is far from being able to do it by the tribal warriors, and they can only rely on the good talents of these warriors.

Including the planning structure of the entire Dragon City, even Yang Yu's late cousin Yang Yu completed it. And the current overall construction, without the overall planning of Yang Hu, can not be carried out at all.

"At present, our country seems to be sharp, but there are also many troubles that make people feel uneasy. Lonely is inevitably upset, and occasionally behaves violently, please don't blame me for Changshi. ”

Murong's attitude became kind again, and Yang Hu hurriedly said that he didn't dare to bow again.

He really didn't dare, not to mention Murong's ruthlessness in pushing the boat down the river and destroying the Feng clan in the old years, not long ago, Yang Que also witnessed with his own eyes what kind of torture Murong Ren suffered after being defeated and captured, and naturally knew that Murong's seemingly magnanimous skin contained a heart that was colder than frozen soil.

Murong no longer talked about the construction of the city, he motioned for Yang Crane to follow, and walked for a while, before he sighed and turned to look at Yang Crane: "Nanguo is the old suzerain of our country, and now it is a sharp and prosperous trend, it is reasonable, and it is always inevitable to criticize ......people when he turns to the lord at this time."

Hearing Murong talk about such a sensitive topic, Yang Ju felt his heart pounding, and he didn't know how to respond, so he simply lowered his head and kept silent.

"How Shen Weizhou of the Southern Kingdom has thinned me over the past few years, the long history is naturally insightful. Even putting aside my personal honor and disgrace, the hundreds of thousands of people of the cold and bitter tribes in Liaodi are all related to me. The people are entrusted with me, how can I be poor in my selfish desires. This painstaking work, even if others don't know, Changshi should know me? ”

Feeling Murong's compelling gaze, Yang Hu didn't dare to be silent anymore, so he could only speak: "The king has good intentions, and the ministers naturally know it. Even though the southern kingdom is powerful, the bitter cold in my side is very lacking, chasing the front and back, judging the situation, if there is no king painstakingly sheltering, the rest of the catastrophe and exile, there is an inch of land to enjoy ......"

Although Yang Ju's attitude in answering was respectful, Murong was still a little dissatisfied, and he didn't hear the echoing evaluation of his own vote from his mouth. It can be seen that in his mind, he also does not approve of his choice.

If he changed others, he was naturally not worthy of Murong's patience and persuasion, but not to mention that Yang Hu's own talent was his indispensable help, the Yang clan could already be said to be the leader of the Liaobian Liuren alone, if he couldn't get Yang Hu's sincere approval, it would be difficult for him to calmly control the large number of Jin people.

"Shi Jilong, the lord of the Qian, once had a discussion with his subordinates, saying that no matter how the southerners attacked, even if they lost the world, their people could still retreat from Wang Heshuo, and the people under his command, if they could not rely on the male lord and fall into the hands of the southerners, could they still have honorable positions to defend? In addition to the death of the country, the righteousness is lost, dare to hope that people will treat each other with courtesy? Amusing! ”

Speaking of this, Murong stepped forward, took Yang Hu's hand, and said sincerely: "I and Shiqiu, words are master and subordinate, but in fact they are good friends." The so-called asylum is actually a mutual support over the years. This time I went back to Zhao, and ordinary people can still see that it is not a good choice, don't I know? The southern country is determined to win, and there is no need for our Liaobian to support it. However, I was able to take advantage of the crisis in the country to seek more and make up for the famine. In the final analysis, it is for the benefit of the people who are suffering in my Liaobian, and there is not only one person who is honored or not. ”

Murong's sudden emotional expression made Yang Ju quite unprepared, and he could only make a look of fear and gratitude.

Murong pulled Yang Hu, turned to look at the west, and let out a long sigh: "Liaobian is definitely not Shiliu Anyang, in the old years, I and Shiqiu and others, there is no lack of great wishes to meet and enter China together." But now that the southern king's industry is transpiring, the old year's covenant has become a conspiracy against the chaos, and the thought is painful, and even more unwilling, is this heart Shiqiu close to me? ”

When Yang Hu heard this, he really nodded sincerely. His family has cultivated the Liao Wilderness for several generations and pursued the Murong family, and it can indeed be said that Liaobian is where his achievements lie, and in his heart, he doesn't want the Lord to be able to compete for power in China, and let these followers rise to the top and become their forces.

However, the general trend did not meet people's wishes, and the prosperity of the southern kingdom also put them, the exiles in Liaobian, in a reasonable dilemma. On the one hand, I am happy with the revival of my homeland, and on the other hand, I am disappointed by the loss of ambition. They were born in China, and they know that once China rises to power, it is definitely not a border hero like Murong who can fight for it.

Murong Touqi, selfishly, is disregarding the feelings of these exiled soldiers. In fact, to some extent, it also cut off their way back to their homeland. Without that kind of calmness that allows you to advance and retreat, it is a very unwise strategy to tie the future of your family business to Liaobian.

Moreover, once the southern kingdom regarded the Murong Department as a rebel bandit, it would be the next target to attack. Even if they are full of loyalty and follow Murong to protect the Liaobian, can there be no gap between the monarch and the minister?

At present, Shi Hu, the lord of the Qiang, is wreaking havoc on the Hebei Shiliu in those countries, and many cruelties are even heard of in their Liaobian. Once the Murong Department faces the southern kingdom as an enemy country in the future, these people may also have to follow the old path of those Hebei Shiliu, and they will be in a dilemma of life and death.
