"May I ask Miss Liu, did I guess correctly?"
"Guessed it right..."
Liu Zhiheng originally thought that it would be nice to tell Duan Wujiu that he was a layman from the Snow Mountain, but for some reason, he no longer felt happy at all.
Duan Wu Jiu looked at Liu Zhiheng and couldn't help but laugh when he saw her sullen look.
"Want me to kowtow for you?"
"Ah?" Liu Zhiheng was a little confused, "What are you knocking for?"
"I have said before that if I meet a Snow Mountain layman and ask me to kneel down and ask her to come out of the mountain, I will be willing to do so. So, layman, do you need me to kowtow to you?"
Liu Zhiheng suddenly felt happy again, laughed, waved his hands and said, "That's all, I don't talk about false etiquette."
"Then I would like to thank you, layman."
"No need to thank you. I didn't promise you to go out. I don't need you to do it because even if you do, I may not come out. I have to know what you want me to do first."
If the person in front of him was just Liu Zhiheng, Duan Wujiu might have concealed his true purpose, but facing the Snow Mountain layman, he didn't hide anything.
If you want to win over people like Xueshan layman, you must treat them with the courtesy of a national scholar.
"Although I have the title of King of Yan, I have not actually fully controlled the entire Yan Land. Most of the land in Yan Land is under the control of the gentry clans, and the most important iron mines in Yan Land are also controlled by Zhao Guogong's clan. Firmly grasp it, so I want to find out how big my territory is, how much land is suitable for farming, how many mineral deposits can be mined, how many mountains, rivers, and natural chasms there are, and what natural disasters need to be prevented."
"Do you want the map and resource distribution map of the entire Yan region?"
"Yes, in addition to understanding these things, I also want to redefine Yandi and use all the natural moats to make Yandi the safest base camp for me, so that the people of Yandi will no longer be disturbed by war and can repair Live and work in peace and contentment.”
Liu Zhiheng nodded, Duan Wujiu really wanted to be a good vassal king.
"None of this is difficult."
"Not difficult?"
"It's not difficult. You just don't want me to do it, and I want to do it myself. Do you have anything a little challenging for me to do? If you don't ask for something difficult, I'd be embarrassed to ask for it."
Duan Wujiu laughed dumbly, isn't this difficult?
"There are other things...but the time has not come yet."
"You tell me first."
"I want a map of the entire northern territory, including Beiyi and Northern Liao. It is best to be as detailed as the map of Beilao Mountain, with detailed coordinates. This northern territory is either a grassland or a desert, and it is the most difficult to march. It is to identify the direction. Often the army spends several months in the grassland without encountering the enemy's main force. When we do, we are often tired. But if we have a good map of the northern border and accurate coordinates, we can The king is confident that in just three years, I will be able to turn the entire northern territory into the tenth continent of our Yan region."
Liu Zhiheng was silent for a while and asked: "You want to take down the entire northern border? How many troops, food, and money will you need? Will the emperor support you?"
"Since I want to do this, I will definitely make complete plans. I must conquer the North. How can I allow others to snore on the bed? Since I am the King of Yan, I cannot let those barbarians attack me outside. Our people in the north are watching with eager eyes."
Liu Zhiheng remembered that in the original book, Duan Wujiu fought a battle with Beiyi the next year. Although he won, it was a tragic victory. He went with 20,000 troops, but only 500 were left when he came back.
However, although it was a tragic victory, it also gave Daxia a chance to negotiate, so Xie Tinglan later had the opportunity to make sauce with the little princess and reach an agreement.
Liu Zhiheng couldn't help but sigh. Duan Wujiu, as the villain in the original book, was given super strong force value and an invincible bUff, but he always succeeded in pain and struggle. In his life, he has never been completely victorious or satisfied. He has always been dealing with various forces and winning with difficulty.
So what if we just keep losing miserably? Three years after he ascended the throne, he died suddenly and directly gave the country to the hero. Until his death, Duan Wujiu would have no chance to attack the North again...
"I can help you survey the Northern Territory, but it will take two years to complete the survey of the entire Northern Territory. Moreover, the conditions in the grasslands and deserts are different from those in Beilao Mountain. Even if I bury iron knots as coordinates, it is very likely that the first You won't be able to see it in two years, and you have to use other methods to help Kantu map to identify the direction. But you don't have to worry, I can teach you these soldiers, you just need to pick some talented people for me... "
After Liu Zhiheng finished talking, he thought Duan Wujiu would be disappointed, but he didn't expect his eyes to be filled with surprise.
"Just two years?"
"If you only have a map that can be used for fighting, two years will be enough. I'm afraid there will be more time. But if you want resources and mineral deposits, then I don't know how long it will take. It's hard to say."
"Resources and minerals should wait until I conquer the northern border. I am not in a hurry."
Hearing Duan Wujiu say that he was not in a hurry, Liu Zhiheng's expression darkened. Calculating, there were only five years left before Duan Wujiu's sudden death in the book.
If the plot cannot be changed, Duan Wujiu will die in five years...
Thinking of this, Liu Zhiheng inevitably felt a little uncomfortable.
The book says that Duan Wujiu killed 100,000 prisoners and massacred two cities, so he met a violent end. But Liu Zhiheng didn't feel that Duan Wujiu was so violent. At least the Duan Wujiu she came into contact with was not a bad person. Why did it end like that?
"Can I ask you a question?"
"It's okay for lay people to ask."
"If the enemy surrenders, will you kill all the prisoners?"
Duan Wujiu couldn't help laughing and said helplessly: "Are you worried about me killing prisoners? Of course I will not do such a thing. I am not a cruel and unscrupulous person. Moreover, the most taboo thing for soldiers is to kill prisoners. , killing prisoners will make those who fight you in the future believe that there is no way out and will only fight desperately with you. Moreover, if the problem can be solved without fighting, why die so many innocent people? I just want to unify the northern territory, It’s not like killing people.”
Yes, that's the truth, but why did Duan Wujiu kill prisoners later? And he killed 100,000 people in one breath!
"Then after you capture the city, will you choose to massacre it? What do you think of those who massacred the city?"
Duan Wu Jiu couldn't help but feel a little emotional this time, because he really didn't expect Liu Zhiheng to ask such a question.
His voice dropped slightly, and he said with some disappointment: "Who am I in the eyes of lay people? Am I the living king of hell?"
Liu Zhiheng was speechless, that was indeed what was written in the book.
"I never claim to be a saint, and I hate those defenders of morality the most. I hate people using the four words of benevolence, justice and morality to demand of me, but I am by no means a murderous and inhumane person. What have I done to make me happy? Does the layman miss me so much? Or has he heard some rumors that led him to misunderstand this king?"
