I Built a Territory in Ancient Times

Yes, it's really frustrating. "

Ming Yu listened very seriously, and motioned to General Wei to speak out the unfinished meanings in his words. General Wei was stunned and continued: "The people of Suixi have no manners and morals, and their folk customs are sturdy. , their three-year-old children have been able to play on horseback. They have grown up on horseback since childhood. They are skilled in bowing and horses, and they come and go like the wind. However, we are mainly infantry. They quickly evacuate, if they encounter our team, they are not their opponents at all."

"That's it, it's really difficult." Ming Yu thought for a while, and then said: "A few days ago, the king of Japan witnessed General Xie's annihilation of a barbarian bandit in the Changlan Mountain area. If there is an invasion by barbarian bandits, let Xie Wouldn't the general be able to annihilate him in one fell swoop without fail? Hey! Speaking of which, why don't you see General Xie's people?"

When Ming Yu talked about this, he remembered that there was no figure of the red robe and silver armor among the officials who came to greet him, so he asked casually.

"General Xie has important things to do. It's really inconvenient to come here today. Please don't blame your Highness." General Wei hurriedly covered Xie Yixiu. One less thing, some things can be avoided if they can be avoided. One can only blame Xie Yixiu for his stinky temper, unwilling to come after saying anything, making it clear that he doesn't want to see His Royal Highness, the newcomer.

"It's not surprising, haha, that's all this king asked. The affairs of the army are very important. Don't delay because of this king, otherwise this king will die." Ming Yu joked with a smile. Seriously, this person has already offended himself by avoiding him before. He is not a narrow-minded person, and he is not to blame for this trivial matter. What's more, although he is a prince, it is impossible for him to have too much power to dispose of officials appointed by the court.

He tutted lightly, what did this man say? The impression left on him is quite deep, and it is already seen from one side that this person's indifference seems to have penetrated into his bones. He only needs to stand there and he can freeze others into ice sculptures. Most of these people are not gregarious. people. Therefore, it would be unbelievable if General Xie appeared here.

General Wei shook his head with a wry smile, and continued to answer Ming Yu's question, "General Xie's red robe army is indeed unparalleled, but with General Xie's 5,000 troops, it is really overkill to deal with such a small band of rogues, mainly because After a small group of rogues entered the country, the route of travel was really strange and unpredictable, and it often took a lot of manpower to hunt them down. Besides, the brigade of the Suixi Kingdom outside the customs was still eyeing them, and they would still have some scruples about the Red Pao Army. The army is desperate to clear out these rogues, and I'm afraid that it will turn the tiger away from the mountain instead."

The Red Robe Army is no better than other armies. It is the elite among the elites in the entire frontier army. A good knife should be used on the blade. Whenever the war is the most critical, dispatching the Red Robe Army is the key to victory.

If it weren't for Duan Wang and his party coming, the previous rogues would not have needed the red robe army to go to clear and suppress them. Although it will take a little time and effort, the risk is within the controllable range.

After General Wei said so much, Ming Yu finally understood that the Red Pao Army was worthy of being famous both inside and outside the country. It seemed that only the Red Pao Army could take action in Dayan.

"Although the Red Robe Army is very strong, it has only 5,000 troops, but it's a little small. Why don't you train more Red Robe soldiers to come out, so you still use the fear of Suixi?" Ming Yu asked when he didn't understand. Spirit. If there are 50,000 red robe troops, I am afraid that they have already attacked the royal court of Suixi Kingdom, where will there be a confrontation?

In the eyes of these bosses, Ming Yu's question was very naive, but they had to explain, "Your Highness's statement is not good, Your Highness knows that the military expenditure of the five thousand people of the Red Pao Army is more than three times that of the ordinary infantry, and Not to mention the extra military expenses for one extra person, just to say that the war horses equipped by each member of the Red Pao Army are all good horses. Your Highness knows that Dayan is not like Suixi, and does not produce good horses. We can collect all of them. These five thousand horses are already not easy."

Ming Yu finally understood that only the iron cavalry of the Red Pao Army was the guardian of Dayan. Although Dayan had a large army, they were mainly infantry. And the infantry against the cavalry of the Shangyi people, that is, for the purpose of delivering vegetables. When encountering a charge from the cavalry, it is not a problem to chop melons and vegetables. They have been able to protect the frontier of Dayan for so many years.

While speaking, the group had already entered Liangcheng, and Ming Yu looked around. This ancient city witnessed the long-standing war. Under the erosion of the years, it has already been riddled with holes, and the dilapidated city wall has been repaired every year and stands tall. Pedestrians in the city in twos and threes are full of dishes. Many houses are in disrepair because no one lives in them. Some of them have collapsed, leaving only ruins and broken walls. There are only a few people left.

Dilapidated, depressed, these are the only words Ming Yu can think of. Thinking that this place will be his territory from now on, he has an urge to support his forehead, but he really did not expect it to be in such a situation. He once thought about the situation in Liangcheng, but it is also the largest city in the frontier. It is so.

I chose this place because I wanted to stay away from the disputes in the capital, and I didn't want to be too conspicuous. This place is good. As a transit station on the Silk Road, if it is used as a territory, it will develop into a trading city in the future. You can also earn gold every day while sitting, and you will not lose money. Moreover, the emperor suffered a lot because he chose to be here. He also subsidized a lot from his private bank. He also mentioned the three hundred guards who were originally the king to five hundred. He originally thought that he had made a profit, but he was shocked by the reality. It was he who lost a lot of money!

It's good now, there is no way out, so I can only bite the bullet and rush forward. The one you choose is to swallow your own tears.

When Master Liu saw Ming Yu's face, he knew what he was thinking. He smiled and said with relief: "Your Highness, Liangzhou City is considered a good city, but this is only the outer city. The inner city is still relatively prosperous, and there is still Orchard. Selling wine, don’t have an exotic style, this is something you can’t see in the capital, and your Highness may wish to take a look when that time comes.”

Orchid? foreigner?

9. Chapter 9

Ming Yu was really interested when he heard it, and asked in surprise, "Hu Ji? I don't know where she came from?"

"To the west of the Suixi country, there are many large and small countries, such as the Wan country, the Ma Dan country, the Huhu country... and so on, the minister knows about a dozen of them."

Ming Yu's gloomy mood finally improved. It was very good, and it was almost the same as what he had learned. "Yes, when you settle down, you must go and see this exotic style."

People who heard this couldn't help but smile. The prince from the capital was really a young man, and he was very curious when he encountered novel things.

Only General Wei's face was impatient, with a faint look of contempt. The soldiers in the front were working hard and sweating, but the people in the back only knew how to eat, drink, and enjoy themselves. If it wasn't for the pros and cons that had to be weighed in this position, he would have left long ago. It's no wonder that Xie Xiaozi would rather take a mission to inquire about the enemy's situation than come here.

Liu Zhifu had a deep friendship with General Wei. Knowing the temperament of General Wei, he secretly gave him a wink, telling him to be calm, but he brought up other topics.

Civil servants and military generals are generally disgusted with each other, and each looks down on the other. You think that I am a reckless husband who only knows how to fight and kill, and I think that your words are sour. Liu Zhifu was able to get along with General Wei because both of them were from the same town, so they would naturally be closer than ordinary people.

The two secretly signaled that Ming Yu didn't know it, and it was another scene when they entered the inner city. There are also more people doing small business here. The noisy and messy voices penetrated into the eardrums, and there are more prosperous fireworks. Of course, I also saw a lot of Hu people with fancy clothes and high noses and deep eyes.

There were guards clearing the way, and the group moved quickly. Many people saw this battle and knew that a big man was coming. The people here have never seen such a scene before, and many people stopped and watched curiously.

Ming Yu is very pleased, this is what a city should look like. Although it is not as prosperous and lively as the towns in the Central Plains, it is still popular.

"This is a land of war and chaos, why are there still people from other countries who come here?" Ming Yu is still a little strange. Logically speaking, this is a dangerous place, with ten rooms and nine empty spaces, and many people want to leave this place.

"His Royal Highness does not know, most of these barbarians come to do business, or there are also civil wars who have escaped. Although there are wars here and there from time to time, Liangcheng is relatively stable anyway, so there are more barbarians coming to Liangcheng. ." Master Liu explained.

Because the people in the hinterland of the Central Plains did not understand the Hu people and had deep prejudices, these Hu people did not dare to venture there. It can only do business in Liangcheng. The people here have long been surprised by the Hu people, so many people have settled here.

Ming Yu's eyes were bright, "Doing business? When you come here, you have to pass through the Suixi country. Does the Suixi country care about these Hu people?"

"The Hu people pass through the Suixi country without anyone's supervision, and some small countries surrender to the Suixi country, so the barbarians in the Suixi country also turn a blind eye to them." An accompanying official who knew this aspect explained for Ming Yu. confused.

Ming Yu nodded, already having some vague thoughts in his heart, but now that he has just arrived, no matter what thoughts he has, he can only put them down temporarily. It seems that you should still find an official who knows the border area by your side, so that you can ask questions at any time.

I made this request to Liu Zhifu, but Liu Zhifu did not refuse it.
