1384 The Dragon City is Difficult to Build

Zimengchuan was the old nest of the Xianbei Yuwen tribe in his early years. Compared with other parts of the Liao border, the environment is better. There are not too steep mountains, and there are many flat and fertile soil. There are many forests, rivers and canals, which are very suitable for fishing, hunting and making a living.

Now the Murong tribe and his righteous soldiers gathered in Zimengchuan in large numbers. However, not many people were actually staying in the camp. There were already ploughing in the frozen fields, while more people were in the mountains, rivers and lakes, and woodcutting, fishing, hunting and replenishing supplies.

This is also one of Murong's troubles. The deserted wilderness is too barren and has scarce resources. Even leaders like him can enjoy very limited materials, let alone other ordinary people. Murong Ping and other short-sighted tribe members could not bear to give up the benefits of trade with the southern country, which is actually human nature.

Several rounds of military use have consumed the few reserve materials of Murong's troops. If it were not for the Lingzhili in western Liaoning, Murong decided to surrender to Jie Kingdom, and the goods and aid received in Youzhou were not enough to maintain the gathering of many ethnic groups here.

For a person with ambition, this reality of dilemma is simply a torture. Although the power of Jie Kingdom is already in danger, the little material leaked from the cracks of his fingers can greatly benefit the entire Murong tribe.

Not to mention the Southern Kingdom, it is said that only full-time professional soldiers have reached hundreds of thousands, and this kind of power has even exceeded Murong's cognitive limit to some extent.

The Dragon City, which Murong wanted to build, is located in the southwest of Zimeng River, a high slope next to the mountains and rivers. In the early years, there was no shortage of construction here, but it was completely destroyed when it was attacked by the Jie army in Youzhou. Now it can only start over.

Although it is already late spring, this place is still deep in permafrost and is not suitable for large-scale construction. However, Murong hopes that before midsummer comes, at least a framework for a city can be built to demonstrate the strength of the Murong tribe in the Zimengchuan Alliance, which is scheduled to be held in July.

Moreover, with such a new city as the core of the rule, it is of great significance to welcome the major changes in China in the future, whether it is to recruit the remaining forces of Jie Kingdom or to resist the invasion that may occur.

Because it was Murong Yanling, he had to catch up with the construction period at all costs. Even if all the tribes collected from the Liaoxi Lingbao were consumed here, he would do whatever he wanted.

In addition to dealing with the daily affairs of the tribe, Murong came here to inspect the progress of the project almost every day, and today is naturally no exception. In order to avoid resistance and harassment from the hard-working soldiers, Murong Fan went to Longcheng to inspect, and at least thousands of cavalry guards were guarding the troops.

The old name of Longshou Pond is no longer found, but it is now named Longshou Pond. At present, the entire Longshou Pond is full of dense, ragged and numb-looking laborers. The huge rocks and trees mined from the surrounding mountains are also piled up in a mess near the slope to be used.

The current Murong tribe is still short of food and clothing, and will not be more preferential to these soldiers, because these hard laborers are really working all by one breath, and there are countless people who die of typhoid fever and are exhausted and starved to death. And in a deep ditch on the west side of Longshou Pond, there are countless lives filled in it.

"Slow, or too slow. Is there any other way to pursue the work? There are frequent major events in the South China. Do they have clever methods to learn from?"

After patrolling on Longshou Pond, Murong was naturally dissatisfied with the progress of this time, so he sought opinions from his nearby entourage.

The one who is actually responsible for the supervision of Longcheng was the Yangwu, Youbei Ping. Although the Murong tribe recruited many Chinese and Korean soldiers in recent years, the number of people who really surrendered to the entire tribe was not large. After the Feng clan of Bohai was exterminated, the Yang clan of Beiping was one of the few soldiers in the Murong tribe.

Unlike the high-profile Feng family of Bohai, the Yang family of Beiping was not very prominent in Liao, but since the Murong period, Yang Wu's father Yang Dan has followed him and has been trusted and trusted by Murong.

To this day, the Yang clan in Beiping is also deeply rooted in Liao, with a huge influence. Ru Yangwu served as the law enforcement officer in his old age. After being named King of Yan, Murong appointed him as the left chief of the Yan King's Mansion. He dealt with many matters, which was highly trustworthy.

Hearing the master's question, Yang Wu stepped forward and said, "It is not known whether there are any skills in the southern country, but the most troublesome thing about the current construction period is that the soil layer is frozen deeper and harder than stubborn stones. If it can be applied slowly for more than a month, it will be much smoother."

Yang Wu said this not to shirk responsibility. Although there are a lot of labor on Longshou Pond, even the most basic tools are lacking. After the soil is dug shallowly, it is so frozen that it is impossible to dig, and even a large pot of boiling water is needed to release it. This is not only a matter of trouble, but also the waste of manpower and material resources is even greater.

"It's better to strike for more than a month? Is it good to go on strike? People will be on the ground, and foreign enemies will be invaded by flesh and blood when they are invaded?"

When Murong's face suddenly darkened when he heard Yang Wu's nonsense, he saw that his master was really angry, Yang Wu and others quickly bowed to apologize.

Although he was unhappy, Murong bent down and pulled Yang Wu up after venting a little.

He relies on his own to others. He was a tribe who was a little too young and could still rely on his diligence and help from others. However, as powerful as the Murong tribe, his affairs were numerous and complicated. If he wanted to sort out calmly, he could only ask for rules and regulations. In this regard, he was far from capable of being able to handle the tribe warriors, and he could only rely on the talented scholars such as Chongyang Wu.

Including the entire planning structure of Longcheng, it was even completed by Yang Wu's late cousin Yang Yu. And the current coordinated construction would not be able to be carried out without Yang Wu's coordinated management.

"At present, our country seems to be sharp, but it also has many troubles that make people feel uneasy. I can't help but feel upset. I'm afraid of being harsh. Please don't blame me."

Murong's attitude became kind again, while Yang Wu hurriedly said that he didn't dare.

He really didn't dare. Not to mention Murong's ruthlessness in the past year and his clan destroyed the Feng family, not long ago, Yang Wu witnessed with his own eyes what kind of torture Murong Ren suffered after being defeated and captured before he died tragically. Naturally, he knew very well that Murong's seemingly magnanimous skin was a heart that was even colder than frozen soil.

Murong no longer talked about the city building affairs. He signaled Yang Wu to follow him and walked for a while before he sighed and turned to Yang Wu: "The South Country was the sect leader of our country in the past, and now it is a great trend. It is in the sense of emotion and reason. It is inevitable that people will criticize him when he is alone at this moment..."

When Yang Wu heard Murong talk about such a sensitive topic, she was already frightened and didn't know how to respond, so she simply lowered her head and kept silent.

"The Changshi naturally has a clear understanding of how Chen Weizhou in the South has been underestimated for several years. Even if I put aside my personal honor and disgrace, hundreds of thousands of people in the Liao area, the life, death, and fortune are all related to my life, death, and fortune. How can I show my own desires when I live and the people are entrusted to me? Even if others don't understand this, the Changshi should know me?"

Feeling Murong's gaze, Yang Wu dared not remain silent anymore, so he could only speak: "The king is good-minded, and I naturally know that the southern country is very powerful, and I can't help the bitter cold in my borders. I chased the front and the back and judged the situation. If there is no great king's painstaking protection, I will rob you and go into exile, how can I enjoy the peace and happiness..."

Although Yang Wu's answer was respectful, Murong was still a little dissatisfied and did not hear the echo evaluation of his own vote for him from his mouth. It can be seen that in his mind, he also did not recognize his choice very much.

If it were others, it would not be worthy of Murong's patience to persuade him. But not to mention that Yang Wu's own talent is an indispensable help, the Yang family can be said to be the leader of the Liao border. If he cannot get Yang Wu's sincere cooperation, it will be difficult for him to calmly control the large number of Jin people's deceased households.

"Jie Lord Shi Jilong once had a discussion with his ministers, saying that no matter how poor the southerners attacked, even if they lost the world, they could still retreat to King Heshuo. If the people under their command could not rely on the hero and fell into the hands of the southerners, they could still have honor and power to defend themselves? In addition to the destruction of the country, they would lose their integrity and righteousness. I dare to expect that people would treat each other with courtesy? It's ridiculous!"

Speaking of this, Murong took a step forward and held Yang Wu's hand, saying sincerely: "I and Shiqiu are the masters, but in fact they are good friends. The so-called protection is actually mutual support for many years. This time, I am backing Jin and Zhao, and it is obvious that ordinary people are not good choices. Don't I know? The victory of the southern country does not require support from the Liao border. But I can take advantage of the dangers of Jie Kingdom, and I can seek more and make up for the border wasteland. After all, it is to benefit the people in the Liao border, and not only honor or not."

Murong's sudden expression of emotion caught Yang Wu off guard and could only act with fear and gratitude.

Murong pulled Yang Wu, turned around and looked to the west, and sighed again: "The Liao border is not a place where the good people are to support the good people. In the past year, I and Shi Qiu and others have made great wishes to enter China. But now the Southern King's business is so popular that the great wishes to enter the country have become a plan for rebellion in the past year. Is this heart Shi Qiu similar to me?"

When Yang Wu heard this, he really nodded sincerely. His family worked hard on the Liao wilderness and followed the Murong family. It can be said that the Liao border is the source of its achievements. In his heart, he also hoped that the masters could compete for China, and that these followers would also increase their power.

However, the general situation did not go as expected, and the prosperity of the southern country also made them, exiled scholars from the Liao border, fall into a dilemma. On the one hand, they are happy about the revival of their homeland, and on the other hand, they are lost in their ambitions and lose power. They were born in China and knew that once China rose to prominence, it would not be possible for border heroes like Murong to fight for it.

Murong cast his own opinions on his own, which disregarded the feelings of these exiled scholars. In fact, it seems that to some extent, they have cut off their way back to their homeland. Without the calmness of advancing and retreating, and tying the future of the family business and the future of the Liao border, this is a very unwise strategy to pursue self-sight.

Moreover, once the southern country regards the Murong tribe as a rebellious thief, it will be the next target to attack. Even if they follow Murong with loyalty and righteousness, can there be no gap between the monarch and his ministers?

At present, the Jie master Shihu is slaughtering the Hebei Shiliu in the country, and even the Liao border have been heard of many cruelty. Once the Murong tribe is facing the southern country as an enemy country in the future, these people may also have to step on the old path of the Hebei Shiliu, and there will be a dilemma of life and death.
