In the carriage, Wu Gen looked solemn, silently looking at the receding scenery outside the window.
Just now, Yuhao finally revealed her true intention, which was to become the master of the Ascension Palace. It was hard for Wu Gen to accept such arrogant thoughts coming from his mouth.
"The shepherds and the divine religion have been fighting for many years without victory because the Dengtian Temple is too loose and has no decision-making power, no killing power, and no smooth orders." Yuhao sat cross-legged in the car, with her hands on her knees. On top, he stared at Wu Gen aggressively, "If it can be like a temple and can command all countries and control each family like an arm and a finger, why would the shepherds have to worry?"
Wu Gen sighed, turned his head and said helplessly: "Hey, do you think you think too highly of me? The Fearless Army only has 100,000 people, and I don't know when I will be killed by Che Yunlu. Your great ambitions really make me proud." It’s a bit too much to bear.”
"Humph, Wu Gen, do you believe in equestrianism?" Yuhao sneered, raising her head slightly, revealing her fair neck, "From the first time you and I met, I felt that you could do great things. . Not feeling at ease, the master also made a special prediction, and then the secret realm of Junshan will appear in front of you.
Sure enough, as I expected, you have been prosperous in recent years, and you have a hundred thousand tigers so quickly. So, don’t feel that you are weak. If you and I join forces, we will definitely have a promising future. As for Che Yunlu, I will find a way to help you solve it. Don't worry, with me by your side, he won't dare to touch you. You really thought that his disappearance at this time was to betray Zhang You's face, but it was actually because the master greeted him. "
Wu Gen was stunned, always thinking that Zhang Youbao saved him, but he didn't expect that there was such a person in it.
There are many layers of entanglement, "Your master is alone, will the elders of Dengtian Temple sell face?"
"They dare not show off their face. My master has been guarding the secret realm for so many years. If someone is ignorant, believe it or not, other elders will take him away." Yu Hao said disdainfully, but the domineering power in her words was fully revealed.
Wu Gen gave Yu Hao a meaningful look, "Even if I can help you, why should I help you? Is it possible that I have to wait until you unify Kuntian Continent, use the power of the entire continent to defeat the divine religion, enslave and devour the human races in all continents? .
I admit that I don’t want to deal with the divine religion, but if I don’t deal with it, it will still be an internal dispute among the human race, and it won’t lead to luring wolves into the house and massacring our own race. If this happens, wouldn't I become a sinner of the human race? "
Yu Hao gave Wu Gen a slightly strange look, as if she had just met this person, "I originally thought that you were ungrateful, disrespectful of ethics, and frivolous, but I didn't expect... That's all, if you support I, I can ban the method of devouring in Kuntian Continent.”
"Hmph, the shepherd has kept this habit for so many years. If you say no, you can stop it. Otherwise, if you can dominate the world alone, otherwise, believe it or not, the shepherd will tear you apart." Wu Gen was a little disdainful. It was so difficult to change a person's old habits. Also, let alone a group of people.
"Don't worry about this, I have my own way." Yuhao seemed to be confident, holding the wine bottle with three fingers, and kept throwing it around, "I think since you are from Beizhou, you want to go back in the future. If The combination of Kuntianzhou and Beizhou will definitely be able to withstand the divine religion. Only with the three pillars standing together can the world's general trend be stable. Therefore, as long as you help me succeed, the shepherd will definitely help you fight against the divine religion in the future."
Wu Gen lowered his head and thought for a while,
He nodded and said with a smile, "What you said is a bit far. Let's make a gentleman's agreement first, watch each other, and support each other. At the moment, I'd better return to Liangzhe Mountain quickly, build my own nest, and then worry about other things. .”
"Yes." Yu Hao also knew that her thoughts were a bit far-fetched. Looking at Wu Gen's soothing and graceful face, her cheeks suddenly turned red and she felt a little embarrassed by her actions just now. "Speaking of which, you are still young, why don't you have a person around you? This woman is not attracted to me at all, is it possible that my appearance is so hard to look at?"
Wu Gen turned his head in astonishment and looked at the other person's neck, which was as thick as gel. He didn't expect Yu Hao to be so direct, "As a man, when we meet such a beautiful woman like you, we are not elegant gentlemen. If we say we can't be moved, that's it." pull.
However, if a man cannot control his belt, he may lose his head. I am still young. If your master finds out, I believe my neck will not be able to bear his old man's sword. "
"Hahaha." Yuhao threw her head back and laughed so hard that her branches trembled and she could hardly breathe. to be honest
, she is not as chaste as human beings when it comes to matters between men and women. As long as it is beneficial to her own cause, she will not begrudge this body.
I didn't expect Wu Gen, a guy who usually looks like a scoundrel, to be so...cute. Why is he afraid of his master's methods? He has never been afraid of him in the secret realm of Junshan. Wu Gen has a kind of aloofness in his heart that despises all powers, but he usually hides it well under his absurd appearance. Even if he shamelessly begs for mercy from the strong in order to survive, he is never afraid of these people in his heart, and no one will really suppress him.
The head in his heart.
"When I have the power, I will snatch you away and take you to the inner room as my concubine." Yu managed to stop laughing and raised the wine bottle towards Wu Gen.
"Okay, wait for you to come." Wu Gen also laughed, raised his head and drank from the wine bottle. The wine flowed down his chin, like a broken pearl.
Wu Gen returned to Wuchuan Pass, and the army continued to move northwest to support Hua Yanlin, who was in a stalemate with the Hulan family.
Originally, Wu Gen wanted to build the city in Ji Yan's place, but she refused. She would wait here for the army to return, and for that person to return safely.
Seeing this woman who was also a princess in Beizhou, busy in the city every day, and even her face was tanned, Wu Gen felt a little sorry. Frankly speaking, Ji Yan can treat Shui Congyue, but how can there be any right or wrong in this kind of love between a man and a woman, and how can outsiders get involved, especially when faced with an aloof person like Shui Congyue.
Therefore, Wu Gen could only take Yu Hao back to Xianwan City. After the arrangements were made for Yu Hao, as soon as they entered the Governor's Mansion, Sun Hong walked in with a large stack of documents.
Wu Gen couldn't help but feel a headache when he looked at the thick document. Just as he was about to find an excuse to slip away, Sun Hong quickly stopped him.
"Master, the road from the south to Shule Province has been opened soon. Lu Qing is planning to use the last section of the mountain to establish a pass. He sent a letter asking for the name of the pass." Sun Hong knew that Wu Gen was afraid of trouble, so he directly took out a The paper was handed to Wu Gen. If he had waited for him to read through it slowly, he might not be able to get out of it for ten days and a half.
Wu Gen took a brief look at it, and Lu Qing said in the letter that he had identified a place with dangerous terrain and a lake named Xuan Lake in front of the mountain.
"When a pass comes out of water, it is called soft.
The entrance hall. "Wu Gen didn't want to bother thinking about it and picked up a name at random.
Sun Hong nodded and took notes, but still refused to let Wu Gen go, "Master, Liangzhe Mountain occupies a vast area. Since our army has decided to establish a foothold here, the most lacking thing at the moment is people. Now the people in the mountain plus the army There are more than 400,000 people living in households, but it is really a small number in such a big mountain. Building roads and cities, hunting and cultivating fields, and forging weapons all combine to make it difficult for everyone. Now even Yingzhu, Sui Kong, etc. The city has not yet been completed, and the city has to be built, so there really is no one left."
"I have asked Cong Yue and the others to capture more prisoners and bring back some people who were under the rule of the exterminated families. This should be able to alleviate the dilemma of a small number of people." Wu Gen silently followed Sun Hong's words. After doing the math, it turns out that when the time comes to use it, we will regret the lack of it. I am afraid that if we come to the next 500,000 people, it will not be enough.
"Master of the Village, listen to my subordinates, arresting people is not the right way." Sun Hong was a little strange today. He rarely bothered Wu Gen on weekdays, but today seemed a little abnormal, "If we want to gather the population in Liangzhe Mountain, the key is It is necessary for this place to be peaceful, with fields for cultivators, vines for weavers, huts for residents, and good circulation, so that people from outside the mountains can really be attracted to settle here.
This requires someone to be responsible for governing the people, commerce, land reclamation, and construction. Although these are inconspicuous compared to the major military affairs, they are the foundation for our fearless army to be able to stay here for a long time and compete with other companies. Village leader, you also have to give up the habit of wandering bandits, and you have to really settle down and build our rear. This is not easier than fighting in the front. "
Wu Gen gradually sat upright and looked at Sun Hong with a serious face. The other party said
It does make sense. For a long time, Wu Gen only thought about taking Hengmen Port early and using it as a basis to fight his way back to Beizhou. He had no intention of settling elsewhere.
Even when they arrived at Liangzhe Mountain, they just wanted to set up a few military camps. If it hadn't been for the repeated advice from others, cities such as Yingzhu, Suikong, and Chiyan would not have been built at all, except for those passes that needed to block the invasion of foreign enemies. Nowadays, with more and more people and horses, the soldiers are doing better, but the civilians can't live outside for a long time.
, as time goes by, he will eventually escape.
In Kuntian Continent, the Fearless Army has no one to support their family. If there are only soldiers but no people, there will be no place to replenish the lost personnel, and there will be nowhere to find food and grass after it is exhausted, it will eventually decline bit by bit.
As Sun Hong said, he can no longer build an army according to the old way. When he was in the Iron Hand Province, he was supported by the Ji family and the Lu family, so he didn't have to worry so much. If there are more troops and horses in the future, the three counties of Ji State may not be able to support so many people, and they will really have to rely on themselves.
"In your opinion." Wu Gen waved his hand towards Sun Hong, indicating that he could speak freely.
"Establish a county, trade, and collect taxes." Sun Hong obviously had a plan in mind, and he said eloquently, "We might as well separate three counties based on the terrain and the three provinces we face, to be responsible for controlling the people, developing industry, and ensuring the needs of the army.
I intend to use the three cities of Chiyan, Yingzhu, and Dengyun as the administrative bases, and divide the three counties of Bei'an, Xiling, and Yannan. The scope of each county should be expanded as far as possible. In the middle, the area of Xianwanling that is already inhabited by people will return to Xianwancheng. Straight. "
Wu Gen quickly walked to the wall and looked at the map on the wall. Liangzhe Mountain is so vast that even if three counties were established as Sun Hong said, they would still only occupy a small part of it.
However, even in this small area, Wu Gen had no one to guard it. Many places were still filled with smoke and wild beasts. Without military support, civilians could not settle down.
"Who do you think is qualified to be the governor of the three counties?" Wu Gen turned his head, his eyes burning.
Seeing Wu Gen's appearance, Sun Hong knew that Wu Gen agreed with his idea. He smiled slightly and said, "Lu Qing, Cang Renjing, and Meng Shuo can serve as county guards. The three of them have experience as city lords, so they are rich in experience." .”
"But, let the three of them take office. How big the territory of the three counties is. They all have their own abilities. Anyway, I don't want those around Xianwanling." Wu Gen clenched his fist with a rather excited look on his face.
"Trading matters can be implemented after the pass is established, or tariffs can be collected. Although our Liangzhe Mountain is barren, the black jade, beeswax and other items in the mountain should be in hot demand outside the mountain." Sun Hong then suggested road.
"You can discuss the specific matters with Ji Yan, and don't report it to me." Seeing that Sun Hong was still about to say something, Wu Gen interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "I'm tired from many days of fighting, so I'm going back to rest first."
"Captain, these documents..." Sun Hong was still trying to retain Wu Gen.
Wu Gen, who had already walked out of the house, waved his hand and said as he walked, "You can decide these little things on your own. Don't ask me. Anyway, just don't stop the construction of the shuttle."
After finally getting rid of Sun Hong, Wu Gen hurried back to his private house. As soon as he entered the yard, Gao Han was sweeping the floor. When he saw Wu Gen coming back, he ran over happily and said, "Master, has my brother come back?"
"Gao Jing is in Wuyang's army. The war should be over soon. Here, here." Wu Gen casually took out a handful of cakes he grabbed outside the mountain from his arms and handed them to
Gao Han.
"Oh." Gao Han pouted, but when he saw the cake, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he reached out and carefully took it.
"Where's Mo Zhibi?" Wu Gen turned his head and looked around.
"He was taken away by the diviner, saying he was going to see some kind of master." Gao Han took a piece of pastry into his mouth, and his eyes suddenly turned into two beautiful crescents.
"Yu Songsu?" Wu Gen suddenly felt a bad feeling in his heart.
Just as he was about to go out and send someone to investigate in the direction of Baishan, he heard a splash in the pond in the backyard. When he got to the backyard and took a look, Wu Gen's eyes widened and he saw that Muji was walking across the water with Mo Zhibi on his back.
