Things are not that simple.
Chen Luo pondered in his heart, there are thirteen states in Daxuan and thousands of cities. How he chooses will reflect his true thoughts.
Perhaps, this is the real test of a teacher.
If Chen Luo's choice is a prosperous place, Bamboo Sage will naturally agree, but his evaluation of Chen Luo in his heart may decline.
What about the icing on the cake? Wealth still blinds people.
But if he blindly chooses a harsh, cold and dangerous place, it will appear that Chen Luo has great ambitions but few talents, and lacks a clear understanding of himself.
The holy land is not the same as the family fiefdom. You can just leave it there and ignore everything. Once the holy land is determined, it will be the private territory of the semi-saint. The court will no longer interfere, and everything needs to be taken care of by yourself.
Therefore, how to choose is a difficult problem.
If you think about it in a good direction, the teacher has given you a base for free development; if you think in a bad direction, bah, can there be anything wrong with what the teacher has given you? Don't think about this.
Chen Luo thought of Yun Siyao's words before and had a clear understanding in his heart.
This is not just a city, but a high place.
Let yourself stand on a high place and see the world clearly.
Great leaders have taught us that when dealing with problems, we must be good at grasping the principal contradictions and the main aspects of them.
So what is the main contradiction in the world today?
The battle between humans and barbarians.
What are the main aspects of the contradiction?
The human race is in a defensive and passive position among the barbarians.
Perfect, problem-solving√.
Chen Luo quickly set his sights on the northern part of Daxuan.
Those eyes released the light of playing "Romance of the Three Kingdoms 11" in the previous life, looking for the first city!
"Sixth Senior Sister, can you tell me about the situation of the Northern Barbarian War?" Chen Luo asked.
"A battle between humans and barbarians?" Yun Siyao's face relaxed slightly: "No problem."
…
"The battle between humans and barbarians, in the final analysis, is actually a battle between the law of heaven and the barbarians. You must already understand this." Yun Siyao said, "But at the specific level, we still need to study it carefully."
"Beings of heaven, humans and demons who possess extraordinary power."
"Barbarian creatures are born, and those who possess extraordinary power are barbarians and beasts."
"Do you know why our human race has become powerful several times, but in the end we are unable to completely wipe out the barbarians?" Yun Siyao suddenly asked.
Chen Luo shook his head. In fact, he also had this question. Let's not talk about it in detail. Let's just say that Emperor Lin and Emperor Wu of this dynasty, two generations of heroes, were both great emperors who looked down upon the world. But why did they always only defeat the barbarians until they retreated and bowed their heads? When you become a minister, you will stop fighting.
In the previous life of the Han and Tang Dynasties, those barbarians could escape all the way north, to the Western Regions, to Central Asia, West Asia, and even to Europe. But in this world, it is said that the far north is the boundless ice sheet that can freeze the barbarians to death, even if they are driven away Entering the ice field can also eliminate the weeds, so why not do this?
"Alas..." Yun Siyao sighed, "This is related to the characteristics of the human race's practice."
"Let's not talk about Buddhism, just talk about Confucianism and Taoism, which control the general trend of the human race."
"The essence of Confucianism's magical powers is to use principles to resonate with heaven and earth, and gain the strength to transcend the world. Taoism leads to the same goal through different paths. The essence of Taoism is to use the power of the soul to resonate with heaven and earth and master unparalleled power."
"But once the Confucian and Taoist monks enter the wilderness, their connection with the way of heaven weakens, and the power of their magical powers will naturally weaken."
Chen Luo was shocked: World suppression?
"Only the Confucian sect's semi-sage and the Taoist sect's Taoist masters can break free from this shackles."
"The greater the Confucian and below, the Dao Lord and below, the deeper into the barbarian land, the weaker the combat power becomes. The only solution is to replace the power of heaven with strong luck, but the amount of luck this requires is astonishing!"
"Therefore, it is difficult for the human race to completely drive out the barbarians."
Chen Luo understood in his heart, but a new question arose: "What about the barbarians entering my land of heaven?"
Yun Siyao said: "Whether it is the Barbarian God lineage or the Barbarian Sacrifice lineage among the barbarians, it is the power given by the Barbarian Heaven that is injected into their bodies and souls. They are not affected by being separated from the Barbarian Heaven."
Chen Luo nodded, probably understanding. In fact, it means that the Confucian and Taoist families are more like Confucian generals, who focus on mobilizing the troops of heaven, while the barbarians are more like fierce generals, who rely entirely on personal bravery.
"That means that if the barbarians enter the heavenly realm, there will be no impact at all?" Chen Luo confirmed again.
Yun Siyao nodded, confirming Chen Luo's statement, but added: "So we have to talk about the Great Wall of Integrity."
Chen Luo concentrated his attention. He had always heard of the "Great Wall of Righteousness" before and was puzzled. Could it be that in this extraordinary world, a Great Wall could stop the barbarians? But I was worried that I would be embarrassed by asking casually, so I refrained from asking.
"The real name of the Great Wall of Righteousness should be the 'Tiandao Barbarian Formation', which is a 'Anbang national art'. Have you seen the official art of officials using official seals to mobilize their luck?"
Chen Luo nodded, of course he had seen it before. He spent thousands of taels of silver on this back then.
The one who collects the money is Cai Tongchen and Cai Tusun!
Not noticing the strange look on Chen Luo's face, Yun Siyao continued: "The official skill is the 'Anbang national skill', and the 'Tiandao barbarian formation' is the only other national skill."
"When the barbarians step into the formation, the power of heaven will descend, suppressing the blood and spiritual movement of the barbarians, and increasing the attrition of the barbarians, so it can have the effect of resisting the barbarians."
Chen Luo frowned slightly and asked: "Since the 'Tiandao Barbarian Control Technique' is so powerful, why not deploy it throughout the territory? Is it too expensive?"
Yun Siyao shook his head: "No. A semi-saint once proposed this idea and even put it into practice. However, it was later discovered that the overall power of the barbarian formation has an upper limit. The more dispersed it is, the more suppressive power a single formation has. The worse it gets, the more we have to give up.”
"After countless years of matching and trying, the current Great Wall of Righteousness is considered the most efficient way to deploy the barbarian formation."
"The Great Wall of Righteousness is not a continuous formation, but consists of nine formations." As he spoke, Yun Siyao stretched out his hand and clicked on a few places on the territory map, explaining, "Start from the Jietian Great Wall on the westernmost side. From the snow-capped mountains to the Sea of Stars in the east, the long human-barbarian border is divided into nine formations."
"Each section has a heavy city that serves as the center of the formation to suppress the formation, so it is called a town city."
"These nine border towns are the nine towns of the human race. Below the town, there are secondary military towns that suppress the core formation, which are called road cities; outside of the road cities, there are places for defense, called acropolis."
"The three-level system of town, road and guard is where the Great Wall of Righteousness is located. As for the forts further down, they are basically built around the Great Wall of Righteousness, either to store grain, to station troops, or to provide early warning."
"Among the nine towns, 'Wanren Mountain' is the main one in the middle." Yun Siyao clicked on the map to mark the location of Wanren Mountain. "As the main town, the power of mobile formations can be deployed to assist places in urgent need. , so it is also where the Prime Minister of War and the Shogunate are located.”
After saying this, Yun Siyao paused and looked at Chen Luo with a smile: "Junior brother, do you want to choose a town? The teacher may not agree to this."
"Of course not." Chen Luo shook his head quickly and joked. This is a place where countless lives are related.
He looked at the map carefully, pointed to the open space between the two Great Walls of Righteousness and asked: "Sixth Senior Sister, what about the places where these formations are disconnected?"
"What to do? Fight!" Yun Siyao shrugged, "These places are also called 'corridors of flesh and blood', and they are places that barbarians must attack. Except for a few battles where barbarians attack the Great Wall of Zhengqi to the death, most of the time, barbarians will pass through. Attack these places and go south to the hinterland of the human race."
Chen Luo's heart sank slightly. The gaps on the map were not big, but if placed in actual geography, they would be enough to form a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood as far as the eye could see.
"Don't choose here, it's not suitable." Yun Siyao looked at Chen Luo in a daze and said.
Chen Luo smiled slightly. Naturally, he would not choose this place. It was not that he did not dare, but that he could not. His eyes slowly moved along the long border, and finally landed on a city in the east.
That place is very interesting. The entire area suddenly pokes out of the coastline and then slightly upwards. If the positions of all the important towns on the entire border basically remain within a width band, this city is a point on the width band.
Below that area is a half-moon-shaped bay. The territory is vast, but there are not many cities.
"Dongcang City?" Chen Luo looked at the name of the city and then looked at Yun Siyao, "Sixth Senior Sister, it seems that this city is no longer within the scope of the Righteous Great Wall?"
Yun Siyao glanced at Dongcang City and nodded: "Dongcang City was built during the previous dynasty. Thousands of miles into the barbarian plains, it is the Barbarian Roar Valley where barbarian beasts gather. If the barbarian army attacks, it will trigger a riot of barbarian beasts. , so this place is not in danger of facing the barbarian army."
"The original intention of the previous government was to open a sea route to transport frontline materials here, and then transfer them to major border towns in the east."
"It's just that the water monsters gathered in the Star Sea and there were many plunders. Emperor Hou Yang opened the inland river to Leya City in Yuanzhou, and Dongcang City was abandoned."
"However, due to the Manhou Valley, the power of Mantian will infiltrate from time to time. So although there is still some population in the city and there are officials to take care of it, it is much smaller than other towns."
"It's not an exaggeration to say it's a bitter cold place."
"Although it is not mentioned in the information, there should still be some barbarian tribes here."
"Junior brother, are you interested?"
Chen Luo touched his chin and nodded, very interested.
At this start, Gongsun Zan is in full swing.
It’s just a bit of barbarian power, and his body is not good at Confucianism and Taoism, but he is a martial artist, can he care about this?
There is a population in the city and there is still political power operating, which means that the nearby barbarian tribes are not strong, and they should be able to deal with it after taking over the city.
It feels like a great place to grow.
Also, who would have thought of finding a development site on the front line?
"You should think about it carefully." Yun Siyao clicked on a city named "Jianjia" on the map and said, "There is no rush in this matter. You can take another look and think about it carefully!"
"That's it!"
Chen Luo nodded firmly and said to Yun Siyao: "Sixth Senior Sister, I will choose Dongcang City!"
Yun Siyao looked at Chen Luo's determined eyes, smiled softly, and gave up trying to dissuade him.
"Okay, it's up to you."
"It's Dongcang City!"
