When Roshna and others left, Huo Qubing personally went to the military mansion to see them off.
Watching a group of people board the car and leave.
"I don't know how long it will take these people from the Western Regions to make a decision."
Zhao Ponu stared at the carriageway going away: "They want to use me as a big man to fight against the Huns, but they don't want to pay too much and surrender completely. How can such a good thing happen?"
Huo Qubing said: “The situation will force them to make a decision.
With every moment of delay, the coalition forces from Loulan, Pulei and other countries will threaten them further.
Roshna left in a hurry just to contact the leader of the Kucha Kingdom and discuss the conditions for asking my big man to send troops to alleviate the danger. "
Situations are stronger than people.
In addition to relying on the Han Dynasty, the countries in the Western Regions had no second choice if they wanted to fight against the Huns.
The difference between the Xiongnu and the Han is that not even a single bone or dregs will be left if they want to eat them. Over the years, the Xiongnu had exploited the Western Regions and required so many tributes from them every year that they were overwhelmed and complained endlessly.
In fact, the big man wanted more and more ruthlessly, to annex them completely.
But this kind of annexation by Han is not exclusive and will leave room for them to survive independently.
Therefore, the countries in the Western Region were divided into two factions. Loulan, Pulei and other countries chose to rely on the Xiongnu and exploited and suppressed other countries to relieve their own pressure.
Countries such as Qiuci and Gumo wanted to annex the Han to gain living space for themselves.
At this time, another group of chariots and the chariots of Roshna and others passed by in the distance and arrived not far away from Huo Qubing and others.
The moment the car curtain opened, a small lotus foot wearing silver silk shoes with an upturned head and a flowery head first poked out from behind the curtain. Between the skirt and shoes, the snow-white stockings flashed, and then an apricot-yellow skirt was wrapped under it. The long legs are straight and round.
Then there are the slender waist and the two arcs that protrude like beautiful peaks above.
A woman stooped out of the car.
Zhao Ponu stood behind Huo Qubing, thinking that this woman is really beautiful...
The one who came down was Bai Nanyu.
"Master Hou."
Bai Nanyu bowed and bowed.
There was the sound of horse hooves on the official road behind her, and a team of troops, escorting a group of more than a hundred people, also came nearby.
Those more than a hundred people were the skilled craftsmen that Zonghengdao collected from all over the world when they broke through Zonghengdao's mountain gate east of Fuyu, and most of them were from the Mohist family.
"Take them and follow me."
Huo Qubing returned to the secret realm of Bingfu, directly crossed the first floor and entered the second floor of the secret realm of Bingfu.
This layer is similar to the first layer, also filled with mist.
Huo Qubing briefly inspected it and found that it had a horizontal and vertical area of about 500 feet and was in a square shape.
He planned to let these craftsmen build a construction department specializing in the production of various types of ordnance in the secret area on the second floor of the military mansion.
Bai Nanyu was asked to come because she was most familiar with the remaining people in Zonghengdao. She was responsible for selecting this area and making the best use of the people.
After these people were taken to Chang'an, Bai Nanyu had already contacted them twice.
Letting them switch from the vertical and horizontal roads to work for the big men is a sign of abandoning the dark side and turning to the bright side.
Moreover, these people were previously collected by Zonghengdao, detained semi-forcefully, and forced to work, which was not purely voluntary.
Being captured by the Han gave them a chance to reform, and they did not resist.
The leader among them is an old man who is somewhat short and fat. He wears dark brown Hanfu and comes from the Mohist family.
It is characterized by a pair of hands that are inversely proportional to the body shape, slender and slender, and the tail end of the little finger is significantly longer than ordinary people, almost flush with the fourth finger.
According to Bai Nanyu, this old man has quite some background.
He looked at the surrounding environment with calm eyes: "This is a small cave, divided into several independent small worlds by military formations..."
"Ji Qiu, first tell Huo Hou your origins," Bai Nanyu said.
The old man was Ji Qiu, and he nodded: "Back then, our Mo family had internal differences and strife with each other, gradually forming three branches: Zhao Mo, Chu Mo, and Qi Mo. They all regarded themselves as orthodox and elected their own princes as leaders.
Zhao Mo is good at personal practice and has amazing martial arts skills. He practices the non-offensive skills of my Mohist family.
Chu Mo was good at making ingenious weapons, and could make all kinds of ordnance, weapons, armor, traps, oxen and horses, etc. It can build palaces, build caves, and even defend a country.
Most of the Mohists controlled by the Han Dynasty came from these two families. "
Mohism was the most prominent school in the pre-Qin period.
Among the three religions and nine streams of the original system, the three religions did not include Buddhism, which was passed down in the later period, but Taoism, Confucianism, and Mohism.
At that time, all three companies had the qualifications to compete for the top spot among the top 100 companies.
In that era when a hundred schools of thought truly contended, its brilliance can be seen.
Huo Qubing said: "The meaning of your words does not belong to Zhao Mo or Chu Mo, so are you from Qi Mo?"
Ji Qiu squinted his eyes slightly, with shallow wrinkles appearing in the corners of his eyes, and said proudly: "No. Qi Mo specializes in the spiritual practice of our Mohist school, with the goal of 'loving each other and benefiting each other'."
"I still have a branch of the Mo family called Yin Mo. Qin Huali is the founder. I am from Yin Mo. I have some knowledge of the skills of the above three families."
Qin Huali was passed down personally from Mozi. The Mohists were extremely successful and were also called Qinzi.
Ji Qiu said: "Except for the weak martial arts in personal cultivation, the Yinmo lineage is very good at the Mohist mental method, the art of ink craftsmanship, and the Mohist method of mantra and seal carving."
This Ji Qiu's behavior should give people the impression of a character who is proud of his talents.
However, what was unexpected was that after he finished speaking, he bent down with a smile on his face. He reached out and took out an object from his sleeves, presented it with both hands in a formal manner, and said:
"These are two little things made by the third generation of Juzi from my Yinmo lineage and passed down for hundreds of years," Bohuo Hou smiled.
From now on, when I serve under Huo Hou, I will do my best to do all kinds of things for the great man, for His Majesty, and for Huo Hou. "
What he handed over was a small jade box, which sounded like it had a lot of origins.
The Mohist Juzi made it himself and passed it down for hundreds of years?
Bai Nanyu helped Huo Qubing take the box and whispered: "Zonghengdao began secretly stockpiling weapons about twenty years ago, and Ji Qiu was found by Zonghengdao at that time.
He was very courageous at first, and would rather die than work for Zonghengdao.
Later, Zonghengdao used methods to smooth away the edges and corners. I heard that some family members died because of it, and they suffered miserably. "
In other words, this Ji Qiu has been severely beaten by society and experienced human tragedies, so he now knows how to advance and retreat.
Just lick it when it's time to lick it, there's nothing to be proud of.
"I don't know what Marquis Huo wants us to do, from what I've seen. No matter what you do, you must first have sufficient resources, that is, if you are rich enough, then everything can be done."
Ji Qiu stood aside humbly and offered advice.
Huo Qubing: "Can you detect mineral veins?"
Ji Qiu clapped his hands, and an oval cage made of bronze appeared inexplicably in the void beside him.
This is the ingenuity of the Mo family, hiding in the void, and the method is quite amazing.
He's trying his best to show his worth.
Rolling out of the cage was a spiritual beast that was similar to a pangolin, but had incantations engraved on its claws and body armor.
"This is the earth-detecting armor of my Mo family. It needs several generations to cultivate and refine, carve incantations, and raise with secret methods. It can be used to detect earth veins and various minerals. I have more than ten sect members who learn the art of earth veins. .”
Huo Qubing glanced at the spirit beast:
"I will send a team to take your people with you. Go to Fuyu and Wuhuan to the east to explore for mineral veins and see if you find anything."
As a time traveler, the biggest advantage is the information gap.
Although Huo Qubing did not remember the specific location, he had a vague impression that the largest metal mines in later generations were mostly in the Northeast.
In this current era, technology is not booming and productivity is not good, but we can make do with spiritual practice.
The skilled craftsmen of the Mohist family had their own methods of digging veins and extracting minerals.
If we could find some of those large mines in advance, even if we dig out some corners, it would be enough for the Han Dynasty's military industry.
"You guys will settle down on the second floor of this military mansion first. As soon as the weapons and forging are needed, I will have people send them over one by one."
Excavating minerals, building military industry, and promoting the gradual prosperity of military strategists are one of Huo Qubing's tasks.
The ultimate goal is to make Han's manufacturing and armament stand at the forefront of the entire era, form a fault-line hegemony in military industry and technology, defeat all parties of the same era, and promote Han to become a truly strong Han!
Of course, things have to be done step by step.
After making arrangements, he was about to leave the military mansion. As he walked, he asked, "Have the materials intercepted at Zonghengdao Mountain Gate been accounted for?"
After breaking the Zongheng Road, Huo Qubing intercepted a batch of things, but did not hand them over to the civilian officials for counting and deposited them in the treasury.
Huo Qubing was unwilling to do anything that would be choked by handing over all the things he seized to the civil servants, who would then distribute them uniformly.
After seizing the supplies, he planned to keep them in a dark place for emergencies.
But when I find an opportunity, I have to send a message to the emperor and bypass the civil servants.
"We have counted enough armor, weapons, and some food and property for thirty thousand elites," Bai Nanyu said.
The things are left in the secret cave of the mountain gate in Zonghengdao, which is very hidden.
"Zhao Ponu, later you will lead the soldiers and horses of the Yulin Guard and the Huben Guard, each of 1,500 people, to cooperate with Xiu Yi to attack the sect forces in various places. It's time to train your troops."
Zhao Ponu quickly agreed.
Bai Nanyu's heart moved slightly and she said: "Huo Hou is going to send troops to wipe out the sects in various places. Can you... let the people who embroider the clothes first focus on getting rid of the Yan sect active in Donglai County and Bohai County."
"Yan Jiao?"
“The Yan Sect is very powerful among the sects, and is one of the three or four sects second only to Zonghengdao.
I am collecting a secret book passed down from ancient times, and some of the clues in the secret book point to the Yan Sect. "
Bai Nanyu whispered: "This time, sects in various places have moved and gathered frequently, and Yan Jiao is one of the organizers.
I have selfish motives, one of which is wanting to obtain the secret scriptures. Furthermore, the leader of the Yan Sect wants to make me his concubine... If I agree, he will show me the secret scriptures mastered by the Yan Sect. I am also planning to go to the Yan Sect. Teach me how to grab things. "
"The leader of a sect still has a concubine?"
Huo Qubing burst into laughter.
After he left the military mansion, Bai Nanyu returned to the city with him, and then returned to Zhuo's house by himself.
When she entered the inner courtyard of Zhuo Mansion, the setting sun was shining, and its fiery red light cast a long shadow behind her.
"Did you go out again in the afternoon?"
Zhuo Huai walked out of the house and looked at Bai Nanyu with a frown.
This daughter-in-law has been mysterious recently, as if she has changed into a different person, which is very abnormal. She left home twice before returning for half a month.
This is really unreasonable.
"You've been going out a lot lately. I asked people to go to your Bai family to inquire. They said you haven't gone back."
Zhuo Huai frowned: "You, a woman, marry into my Zhuo family. You should know the family tradition of my Zhuo family and don't do anything to disgrace the family."
Bai Nanyu shortened her height and saluted: "I went out to do things with Huo Hou. I came up with a recipe to wake up Huo Hou's aunt, and then we started to interact with each other. If you are worried, you can go to Huo Hou and ask. , there is nothing false in what I said.”
"who?"
Follow Huo Hou... That's okay. Zhuo Huai coughed lightly and said: "It has been difficult for you in my Zhuo family these years, and I know that, so in these years, I have treated you like my own daughter.
You and Huo Hou have been... very close recently? "
"Well, Marquis Huo asked me to do something for him." Bai Nanyu admitted frankly for the sake of convenience in the future.
There was nothing to hide. Zonghengdao had already known that she had turned to Huo Qubing.
"Since you are doing work for Huo Hou, then you can go ahead with peace of mind. It doesn't hurt to go to Huo Hou's place more often..." Zhuo Huai wanted to ask what he was doing specifically, but he felt it was not easy to ask. You said it might be something unusual. what to do?
We can't afford to offend Huo Hou. It's better not to know if we know, and we can only pretend to be confused.
Bai Nanyu bowed again and left with graceful steps.
Zhuo Huai glanced at his daughter-in-law's graceful figure and sighed secretly.
Here Huo Qubing came to Liangyuan where Xiuyi was.
Before getting out of the car, he took out the small box that Mo Gong Ji Qiu had paid tribute to.
They said they were two small things. Huo Qubing was also curious about what they were.
The moment the box was opened, Qi energy overflowed, which actually caused fluctuations in the Book of War in the Sea of Knowledge. Many strategies on the book of war shone brightly.
The first thing to take out from the box is a small bead.
It was this bead that induced the fluctuations in the Book of War on the Sea of Knowledge.
There are many mantras inside the beads that change the light and death.
