Chapter 66: The Extraordinary City
Wen Bufan had already walked around the unfinished city for half a circle, and at this time, Princess Changping and the others came back.
After a night of fighting, the sky has gradually revealed its light. The Duke of Changping wanted Wen Bufan to return to Wuguan with her first.
Wen Bufan looked at Princess Changping and said, "Your uncle won't come here, at least not now." ”
"I want to go home for dinner! Hungry! "Princess Changping is dressed as a little daughter.
"Let's eat here, what do you think of here?" Wen Bufan stood on the city wall and looked at the city that was still under construction, at this time, the first sunlight of the morning shone into the city, and the city looked particularly quiet under the light of the morning sun!
"You like it here?" Princess Changping asked.
Wen Bufan nodded, "I really like it!" ”
"Well, I ask my father to seal this city to you! As a reward for this big win! Princess Changping looked at Wen Bufan gently.
Wen Bufan nodded, for some reason, Wen Bufan did have an inexplicable liking for this!
Seeing that Wen Bufan did not refuse, Princess Changping actually felt a sense of joy in her heart, "I'll accompany you to have breakfast here!" After speaking, Princess Changping gently took Wen Bufan's arm and rested her head on Wen Bufan's shoulder. Wen Bufan took out his arm and took Princess Changping in his arms.
The morning sun shone warmly on Wen Bufan and Princess Changping. Princess Changping closed her eyes and enjoyed the warmth!
Last night's fight doesn't seem to exist, only the warmth of the moment is real!
Princess Changping's request, Ji Chengbo quickly agreed, and named this city - Zhuocheng. Extraordinary is extraordinary!
In fact, since that day, Wen Bufan has never left Zhuocheng. Walk around Zhuo City every day. Thinking about how to complete the construction of Zhuo City.
As soon as Ji Chengbo's king ordered, Princess Changping moved the defense of Wuguan to Zhuocheng. is called garrison, but it is actually helping Wen Bufan repair the city.
In this city, the foundation of Ji Nan City has not been completely built, but a city wall on the back has been built, and there is a moat outside the city wall.
Many years later, when Wen Bufan stood on the wall of Zhuocheng again, he suddenly remembered that if Ji Chengbo didn't want to use himself to guard the south back then, if Ji Chengbo knew his plan for Zhuocheng, would he still use Zhuocheng as his fief!
The foundation framework of Zhuocheng, Wen Bufan already has a blueprint in his heart. Waiting for Princess Changping, as soon as the team to repair the city came, Wen Bufan immediately started to start the construction of Zhuocheng!
Wen Bufan did not continue to build on the foundation of Ji Nan City. It's just that the city wall built by Ji Nancheng has been slightly renovated and built into a small pass!
Then the construction of Zhuo Castle began about thirty miles southeast of this pass.
For Wen Bufan's small action, Princess Changping chose to default. Since the father gave Wen Bufan a city that had just begun to be built. Then there is nothing wrong with Wen Bufan building another one by himself. It's going to have to be built anyway!
The reason why Wen Bufan chose to build Zhuocheng in the northeast of the city built in Ji Nan City was because these days, Wen Bufan has investigated everywhere around.
The place Wen Bufan chose, first of all, the purpose was different from Ji Nancheng. The purpose of Ji Nancheng is to build a city and fight against the court of Yanshan for a long time, so the city built is on the only way for Wuguan to enter Nanjun, which can be attacked and defended!
And Wen Bufan's purpose in building the city is to use it as the foundation for his future development! Donglai country is poisoned by aliens! The people are not happy, and it is not difficult to gain a foothold there. But it will be difficult to recruit troops and supply food and grass!
The northern part of Yanshan Country is relatively stable, and it is difficult to have a city of its own. So here is the best choice, and it has been ordered by the king of Yanshan Kingdom. Therefore, Wen Bufan can develop his own strength justifiably! Make this your own foundation!
So Wen Bufan chose this place, which is more suitable for building a city. The southeast side of this place is a vast plateau, a large river rushes down from the plateau, from north to south, mighty and endless, in the southeast two directions, forming a natural barrier. Locals call this big river Weishui.
Wen Bufan had already thought that he could introduce Weishui into Zhuocheng, so that he would not have to worry about drafting.
To the northwest is Wuguan, and to the southwest is the pass where Wen Bufan rebuilt the city built before Ji Nancheng.
Between these two passes and the plateau and Weishui, there is exactly a plain of thirty or forty miles, and the two passes in the southeast and northwest of this plain are just guarding this plain. And the northeast and southeast have the natural barrier formed by Weishui and that plateau!
Therefore, Wen Bufan built Zhuocheng on this plain.
Princess Changping looked at Wen Bufan, who was busy on the construction site all day long, and her heart was full of happiness! Princess Changping has received a royal order from Ji Chengbo, asking her to return to Hengyang as soon as possible! The aliens from the north suddenly stationed many troops in the Blue Mountain Pass!
Ji Chengbo analyzed that the aliens couldn't plunder much in Donglai Country, so they were fighting the idea of Yanshan Kingdom. It is very likely that Hengyang City will be attacked! Loot the supplies around Hengyang City!
"You're looking for me?" Wen Bufan came to Princess Changping with a sweat profusely.
Princess Changping took out a handkerchief, gently helped Wen Bufan wipe away the sweat, and said softly: "I'm going back to Hengyang!" ”
"Back to Hengyang? The aliens are moving again? Wen Bufan took a sip of water and continued: "Don't worry here! Your uncle won't make any moves for a while, as long as we don't attack Nanjun! He'll just be honest! ”
Princess Changping helped Wen Bufan wipe away the sweat, put the handkerchief back in her arms, and said: "Don't be careless, although we hit my uncle hard last time, but if he and those tribes in the south borrow troops, it will be difficult to deal with it at that time!" When I go back this time, I can only leave you with 50,000 horses, plus 30,000 horses from Wuguan. You have my warrant and you are free to do whatever you want. ”
"Don't worry, with me, our uncle won't take a step forward!" Wen Bufan said with a grin.
"Humph!" Princess Changping gave Wen Bufan a blank look.
Wen Bufan stretched out his arms and gently hugged Princess Changping into his arms, "You have to be careful yourself, the aliens can't loot any supplies from the Donglai Kingdom, and this time they must be very ferocious in the Yanshan Kingdom!" Just take care! There is also a rattan armor army that is afraid of fire, you must pay attention! ”
"Hmm!" Princess Changping snuggled in Wen Bufan's arms, happily closing her eyes, how she hoped it would always be like this!
Before Princess Changping returned to Hengyang, Wen Bufan and Princess Changping gave a name to the city that had not been built in Ji Nancheng - Pingnan Pass!
Princess Changping led Murhajita and Qingzhu away, leaving Qinglan behind. One can take care of Wen Bufan, mainly because Wen Bufan is not very familiar with Yanshan Kingdom. Leaving Qinglan can help Wen Bufan!
Wen Bufan agreed without thinking about it, because he and Princess Changping could see that Qinglan and Orion seemed to be secretly in love! Qingzhu Qinglan has followed Princess Changping since she was a child, and has been known as the master and servant for many years, but in fact, Princess Changping has long regarded them as her sisters, so she also has the heart to match Qinglan and Orion!
Sure enough, although Qinglan was a little reluctant, she finally stayed. Orion smiled, excited, for several days.
After Ji Nancheng fled back to Nanjun City in disgrace, he cleaned up the remnants, and there were less than 100,000 people left! It's hard to protect yourself with this bit of strength, let alone attack your brother!
"Lord Wang, why don't we retreat here!" Hua Baifeng said softly.
"No!" Ji Nancheng roared, "If you don't take revenge, I hate it!" ”
"But we don't have the strength to fight against the court?" Hua Baifeng still persuaded Ji Nancheng to stop.
"We don't have the strength?" Ji Nancheng's momentum disappeared all of a sudden, sat down, and immediately saw a light in his eyes, and said, "We have no strength!" You can borrow! Those tribes in Nanjun have long promised me that they can help me crusade against that faint king! Let's go to the tribes and borrow troops from them! ”
Hua Baifeng looked at Ji Nancheng and knew in her heart that if there was a glimmer of hope, Ji Nancheng would not stop!
Hua Baifeng thought for a while and said, "Then the prince must have thought about it, and he is looking for those tribes!" They're all unprofitable people! ”
"Also, I have to think about it, what will they want? Then go talk to them! Ji Nancheng stretched out his hand and pulled Hua Baifeng to his side, "Let you follow me and be afraid!" ”
At this time, Luo Wei asked to see outside, Ji Nancheng patted Hua Baifeng's hand and stood up, "I'll deal with it first!" With that, he walked out.
"Lord Wang, General Feng Yi is here!" Lowe said with his head bowed.
"Oh, where?" Ji Nancheng was overjoyed. Feng Yi is the guard general of Tonggu, a small city in the southeast of Nanjun, and he has mishandled local affairs once before, and should be removed from his post and investigated according to the law. But Ji Nancheng didn't deal with Feng Yi at that time, but only punished Feng Yi, and later Ji Nancheng also made up for Feng Yi's punishment to him through rewards!
Ji Nancheng had long forgotten about this matter. So I didn't expect that Feng Yi would actually lead the troops to vote at this time!
Ji Nancheng came to greet him in person, Feng Yi was a little flattered, and hurriedly bowed and saluted, "The last general, Feng Yi, led eight thousand soldiers to listen to the dispatch of the queen prince!" ”
"Good, good!" Ji Nancheng was overjoyed in his heart, there is a way that is easy to add to the cake, but it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow. At this time, not to mention that Feng Yi came with eight thousand soldiers, even if Feng Yi came by himself, Ji Nancheng was also very happy!
At the moment, Ji Nancheng held a banquet in Nanjun, one is to reward the soldiers of Nanjun, and the other is to welcome Feng Yi to vote!
Just when Ji Nancheng was holding a banquet, the construction of Zhuocheng was proceeding in an orderly manner.
Huge strips of stone and logs are flowing down the Weishui River from the mountains of the plateau to the construction site in Zhuocheng. These are the materials carefully selected by Wen Bufan to build Zhuocheng. The construction site of Zhuocheng is even more bustling, stretching for dozens of miles. Busy people everywhere! At this time, it was not only the soldiers of Yanshan Country who were busy on the construction site, but also many people!
Wen Bufan stipulates that as long as the people who come to repair the city will be paid daily. One dollar a day! And they also buy grain and grass at a price 10% higher than the local grain price! Therefore, the local people are very enthusiastic to sign up to build Zhuocheng!
Wen Bufan asked Shangguan Hao to register one by one, and if there are healthy people, if they are willing, they will be accepted as extraordinary pro-soldiers, and they don't need to pay military salaries from Yanshan State!
Ji Nancheng naturally knew about Wen Bufan's construction of Zhuocheng, so Ji Nancheng stepped up his pace and contacted those tribes in the southwest of Nanjun.
