Chapter 1: The Shocking Change in Luoyang
"Brother and sister-in-law? When did the lord get married?" Di Yun was completely stunned.
"That... although there is not that thing now. But it should not be able to escape in the future. The future, the future." Li Qi smiled embarrassedly.
"Oh, then can you tell me who the future mistress is?" Di Yun asked seriously.
"Who else, Xiaoyu? My fourth brother is good at everything. He is busy with affairs in the territory all day long and neglected Xiaoyu. Some time ago, Xiaoyu didn't appear in the territory for a long time? Now the relationship between the two of them seems to be showing signs of recovery."
Li Qi probably wouldn't know that A Niu, who "puts career first" in his mind, actually "puts games first" some time ago. It would be a miracle for such a man to be smooth sailing in his relationship.
"So that's it. Now it's different. Now the lord is the city lord of the world's number one city. Our Fengxiang is now a strong soldier and the situation is very good. The lord is a hero who is a talented person. It's time to have a mistress. Before coming to Liangzhou, many of our Fengxiang's fellow villagers were anxious about this matter. They all said that the lord is too kind and loving to the people, and even his lifelong affairs were delayed. I feel very sorry. To be honest, the little fish mistress and the lord are still very compatible. I don't know when I will drink their wedding wine. That must be the biggest grand occasion for Fengxiang to come!"
(The above paragraph is a bit of a spoof. If you want to vomit, find a bag...)
"Get out! The little brat who has not even grown all the hair dares to pretend to be a big-tailed wolf here, thinking that he is the love saint, and I don't know what his surname is? Drink!"
Li Qi's eyes were filled with a warm smile.
Xiaoyu is Aniu's college classmate. After graduation, he is in Chengdu. Every time, Xiaoyu will always go to Aniu's doghouse and clean the house. In order to spend more time with Aniu who loves games, Xiaoyu, who has never liked games, made a special purchase of a game helmet and went to Fengxiang. Even with Aniu's emotional dullness, it is impossible for him to not understand Xiaoyu's affection.
But in fact, the relationship between the two has never made any substantial progress, for no reason: Xiaoyu is a very traditional and quiet girl. So far, everything she has done for A Niu is the greatest extent that Xiaoyu can do. Xiaoyu has never been the bold and direct girl, like a quiet little white flower, quietly releasing the clear fragrance and giving fresh warmth to the people around her. Few men dislike girls like Xiaoyu; while A Niu, although she is playing like a personal game, she is a real love scene. Even in her college career, the air is full of youthful hormones, this guy is so bored that he would rather sprinkle his youth and sweat on the court. He was unable to take off Chu Ge's hat for himself. In terms of emotions, A Niu is also a very traditional person.
It is hard to imagine that two people like this will suddenly spark. Even if they understand each other's feelings, perhaps, both of them are waiting quietly for a moment when the situation comes naturally. This wait will be two years.
When Xiaoyu arrived at Fengxiang, A Niu was deeply moved by it. In addition, the unexpected "first intimate contact" at his residence and that specious date, the original touching love seemed to usher in a new page. However, A Niu, who was very dedicated in the game, happened to have many problems in the territory one after another. A Niu could not seize that opportunity at all, and there were still so few people with Xiaoyu.
Under such circumstances, Xiaoyu will of course be very disappointed, so the time for online launch is getting less and less. It was not until three months ago that Xiaoyu left Chengdu on a business trip on business, and the number of meetings between the two was even less rare in reality and in the game. At this time, A Niu felt deeply lost, as if a very important part of his life suddenly lacked, becoming incomplete, and life seemed to have lost a touch of spirit.
Of course A Niu understood why.
Some people don’t feel that it’s too special when they are quietly accompanying each other, but once they lose it, they will find that they suddenly lose the sunshine in life. This is the feeling of love!
When Xiaoyu received the first call from A Niu, he seemed a little panicked, but was also surprised. On both ends of the video call, a young man and woman fell into silence for a long time, staring at each other silently, conveying their own heart songs.
"How are you doing these days?"
Two red glows floated on the little fish's crystal clear cheeks. They bit their lips and nodded vigorously.
"I... miss you so much." A Niu almost used all his strength in these words. He had never worked so hard or so brave. However, after saying this, he seemed to have just finished a huge battle, and then he was completely relaxed. This Chu brother finally learned to attack.
"Silly, I thought you would never say such things!" The little fish with red face and a rapid heartbeat was clearly circulating in her eyes.
Xiaoyu has been waiting for this sentence for a long time. Although A Niu is still a little implicit and not direct enough, it is enough to make Xiaoyu's heart suddenly messed up.
“When will you come back?”
"After the matter here is over, the company sent me on a business trip just to rectify the affairs here. It may take five or six months, and I will come back as soon as possible."
"Okay, I'll wait for you!"
I'm waiting for you!
Simple language cannot conceal Aniu's firmness and persistence. Xiaoyu clearly felt this persistence.
In the next few months, although Xiaoyu still rarely played games, the two of them kept in touch offline. After that confession, A Niu did not say anything "stimulating". Most of the conversations between the two were about asking about recent physical condition, mood and other topics, but the care and desire contained in the dullness made the two hearts closer.
Both of them believe that the seeds sown in their hearts are sprouting quietly and growing, and will eventually become a towering tree!
A Niu has never been a person who can't hide his words, but his progress with Xiaoyu made this gentleman excited and wanted to find someone to talk to. I believe many people have had similar experiences and hope that someone can share their joy.
However, it is not easy to find a suitable confidant. Since graduation, A Niu has become a noble otaku. His social circle is very narrow. The one who has been closest is middle school and college classmates. However, A Niu, who has always been thinner than paper in this regard, did not choose to tell his classmates about these romantic affairs. College students all know that the two are in the same class, and many middle school classmates also know Xiaoyu. A Niu does not think that there is any eighth grandmother among these people. If it spreads, Xiaoyu, who has always been weak, will step down? Although it seems that Xiaoyu has always been very quiet and ladylike.
This is what is called concern and chaos. It is difficult for a Chu brother like A Niu to judge. How could Xiaoyu be unhappy about this?
So Aniu found Li Qi.
Friends in reality cannot tell you, but you will never have any problems when talking to NPCs in the game!
Among Aniu's sworn brothers, although his elder brother Wang Yue has always spared no effort to support Aniu, this master-level master, one of the most **osses in the Three Kingdoms, always makes Aniu feel a little awe from the bottom of his heart. Although this feeling is very stupid, after all, it is just a piece of data in the game, don't forget that Aniu's degree of being involved in the play is quite impressive.
The third brother Liu Xing is impatient and has the greatest possibility of not being able to hold on to the wind in his mouth.
As for the fifth brother Zhao Yun, he seems to have been wandering outside.
Only the second brother Li Qi, who has worked with A Niu for the longest time, has a very good relationship. He is nearly thirty years old and is quite calm, and is the best person to talk to. Therefore, Li Qi is the only one who knows about A Niu and Xiaoyu.
"Second brother must not tell this matter, otherwise we will break off diplomacy!" A Niu "threatened" Li Qi like this, and the master-level martial artist who was so amused and crying had to keep nodding in agreement.
Li Qi's calm and steady personality and his feelings for A Niu made this master-level martial artist keep this secret well. Even after coming to Liangzhou from Qingzhou, Li Qi kept his mouth shut. Unfortunately, people's calculations are not as reliable as God's calculations. No matter how reliable Li Qi is, he is drunk, drunk people often say things they don't usually say and reveal some secrets that they cannot usually reveal!
It seems that now, Di Yun has received some insider information. This guy, who has always been known as a quirky man among Fengxiang's generals, was immediately "drunk" and unconscious before A Niu came back from the call.
"What's wrong?" Li Qi asked.
Usually, the contact between A Niu and Xiaoyu is carried out offline. This time, contacting directly in the game means that Xiaoyu must have entered the game.
A city lord glanced at Di Yun who was "sleeping hard" and then smiled with confidence: "She is coming back, a month later."
One month refers to the time in the game, but in reality it is actually half a month.
"Well, it's good to come back, don't neglect others now."
"Haha, I know. I'm happy today, come and have a drink!"
Another bounty drink, Aniu and Li Qi didn't notice it. Di Yun, who seemed to be drunk like a dead pig, had his eyelids moved...
The next day, a new day began. The special territory became lively again. The troops began to practice in the early morning, and the craftsmen began to enter their respective shops. The most lively one was in the Babao Valley.
There are no unbuilt buildings in Longfei Town except for the wooden walls. With the establishment of Longdang Town, the 13th affiliated territory of Fengxiang, Shaodangqiang sent back 2,000 villagers. Of course, Chen Gong claimed that it was "redemption". Didn't Longfei Town send a large amount of food and weapons some time ago?
Except for a few troops, the rest were all kinds of craftsmen. With the population size of Longfei Town and Longdang Town, Chen Gong carefully controlled the number of craftsmen and shops so that they could just meet the needs of villagers in the territory. For the remaining territory and villagers, Chen Gong planned to leave new buildings that will appear after the future upgrade of the special territory, as well as the growth of the blacksmith team. The blacksmiths will concentrate on Longfei Town to create various weapons and iron tools.
In the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms, food and weapons are eternal hot spots!
Now Longfei Town is not idle because of the perfect construction. In fact, Chen Gong is already working on building a huge project. Even when A Niu heard Chen Gong’s idea, he couldn’t help but take a breath!
"Is this project too exaggerated? The Gongtai believes that it is really necessary for Longfei Town to create such a system?" A city lord has always trusted Chen Gong. Most of the ideas that this royal adviser came up with are practical. A Niu has hardly refused, but this time...
Chen Gong actually wanted to build Babao Valley into a fortress! An absolutely solid and absolutely terrifying military fortress!
Before the Long Fei defense battle, Chen Gong painstakingly built a "three-dimensional combat platform" and built a platform similar to a plank road on the mountain walls on both sides of Babao Valley, so that Fengxiang's long-range troops could launch condescending attacks on the invading enemies on the platform. In the battle with Lao Jie Qiang, this platform has played a certain role, which has further strengthened Chen Gong's determination and will to improve the combat platform.
Chen Gong's plan: continue to build so that it can form a combat platform connecting the entire Babao Valley, rather than just building a small section at the bottom of the valley like now. Babao Valley is ten miles long. Although there will be 10 meters of gaps every 100 meters of plank road, so as to avoid being attacked by the enemy and advancing the entire line. Before the battle with Laojie Qiang, only one hundred meters were built. According to Chen Gong's intention, at least 4,900 meters had to be built (the length unit is converted according to modern standards), that is, at least 49 times the previous workload must be completed.
If that's all, it would be fine, but what if the actual workload is 49 times times multiplied by 3? That's right, Mr. Chen believes that the first-story plank road is not enough to exert the maximum damage, so the plank road must have three layers, each layer has a height of five meters to form a ladder attack firepower point!
In fact, the higher the plank road, the more difficult it is to build and workload, and high-altitude work is no easier than doing it on flat ground.
When A Niu heard Chen Gong talk about this, he was almost fainted, but Chen Gong seemed to have to challenge the limit of the city lord's tolerance, and it was not over yet!
In the Battle of Long Fei's Defense, the battle at the bottom of the Babao Valley was very fierce. One of the big reasons was that the Qiang people saw that the first-climb death warriors on the mountain wall could only cover a limited area due to their range. This also allowed the Qiang people to attack the Mama Wall without being killed by the first-climb death warriors, thus causing the Dark Flower Special Forces to pay the largest casualties since their establishment! Therefore, Chen Gong wanted to change this situation.
In the middle of Babao Valley, a number of earthen fortresses will be built! The fortresses are also divided into three layers, with the height of each layer corresponding to the plank road, and are connected between the plank road and the fortress, and between the fortress, through wooden aerial cableways, so that Fengxiang's soldiers can easily transfer to the enemy in response to the needs of the battle situation and to deal with the most ruthless blows to the enemy in the most appropriate position! Of course, the fortress will reserve a batch of large stones to deal with some enemies with thick skin and thick flesh and thick shields.
A Niu was stunned by Chen Gong's grand plan.
Indeed, this system can almost be called perfect. Any enemy can only be depressed and hit the head to death when facing this system. Just imagine that as soon as the enemy enters the valley, several rows of crossbows in the air are shining with cold light. The shock is by no means something that ordinary people can bear. But how much money, how much labor and how much time will it take to build such a system?
In fact, A Niu is not worried about the expenses required. As for labor and time, there is no need for a certain city lord to worry about. But A Niu doubts whether it is necessary to build such a system with waste of money and money!
"It's absolutely necessary!" Chen Gong replied firmly.
"Lord, our affiliated territory can be rebuilt when it is destroyed, but after the special territory is destroyed, it is completely gone. Longfei Town has an irreplaceable position in the development of Fengxiang and its strategic choices, so for Longfei, safety is always the first priority!"
Chen Gong's meaning A Niu understood that although the threat from the Qiang people to special territory after the Long Fei defense battle had weakened to an almost negligible level, it did not mean that Long Fei could really rest assured. It was difficult to predict when the Qiang people would rest in peace. Even the forces in Liangzhou continued to fight, and there was almost no peace. When Long Fei Town gradually grew and its scale expanded to a certain level, it would inevitably attract the attention of the NPC forces, and even the conscription of Long Fei might not have happened.
When such a situation occurs, will Feng Xiang surrender under such rude requests?
I dare not say that I will never do it. After all, sometimes I need to judge the situation, but with A Niu's personality and Fengxiang people's pride, the possibility of rejection is almost 100%. Even if I temporarily compromise due to the situation, I will never tolerate it for a long time!
Maybe it is necessary to solve the problem through force. Although Feng Xiang is far from the energy to conquer the NPC forces, repelling the enemy's attack and ensuring the security and security of the special territory is Feng Xiang's bottom line!
"The Gongtai is right, but do we need to build fortifications in the entire Babao Valley? Or just build a large-scale construction at the bottom and in front of the valley. If the enemy attacks the middle of Babao Valley, then our defense system will not have much meaning. Especially in front of the town, the Gongtai should understand that the mayor's office has been at the front of the Babao Valley. After the front line collapses, the special territory will be over."
In the game, most of the buildings in the territory can be rebuilt. For example, when Fengxiang was besieged by three legions in the early stage of the game, some shops and warehouses were destroyed, but Fengxiang quickly rebuilt.
But at least one building is the exception: the village (town) mayor's office!
After this building is breached, it is no longer a matter of reconstruction, but the territorial level is directly reduced. Generally, there is nothing wrong with an affiliated territory. At worst, senior talents can be sent to rebuild it. However, this method is definitely not suitable for special territories!
——The special territory is built on special architectural drawings. After use, the drawings disappear. After the special territory is completely breached, there is no way to rebuild it again.
"Yes, because of this, the security of the special territory is more important. Although the mayor's office moves or rebuilt the ground rules, when Longfei Town is upgraded to a city in the future, will there be a city lord's mansion? As long as we extend the area of Longfei Town into the Babao Valley and place the city lord's mansion in the middle of the Babao Valley, it will be difficult to destroy the special territory no matter where the enemy comes from!" Chen Gong seemed a little excited. A Niu's loyal subordinate and the founder of the special territory were more concerned about the safety of Longfei Town than anyone else.
Aniu's eyes also lit up, and Chen Gong's words reminded Aniu.
After the territory is upgraded to the city stage, the city lord's office and the city lord's mansion will exist at the same time. As long as one of these two buildings is not compromised, the territory will not be degraded.
After each upgrade, the sphere of influence will be expanded accordingly, and the expanded part will be selected when the upgrade is just completed as long as it is not to disconnect the territory! Simply put, if the territory is a square word "mouth" before the upgrade, the territory may become a square word "field" after the upgrade, or stretched into a long "me" character! Of course, if you have a hobby of drawing, it is also possible to eventually make the plan of the territory look like a pig.
Just ensure the consistency of the territory!
Take Fengxiang City as an example. Fengxiang, which is close to the sea in the east, will stretch the expanded part of the territory to the south, north and west after each upgrade. The special territory Longfei has always focused on the expansion of the east and west directions during the upgrade from a first-level village to a first-level township, so as to completely block the Babao Valley entrance as soon as possible!
Chen Gong will not have any technical difficulties when he put the future city lord's mansion in the central area of Babao Valley. Once such a situation is formed, unless the eight treasure valley, which is ten miles long, is completely captured, it will not be possible to damage the root of the special territory!
As for why fortifications were built at the bottom of Babao Valley, Chen Gong also had his own considerations:
Now the cooperation between Fengxiang and Shaodang Qiang has just begun. Even Chen Gong believes that Mangzhong and others are trustworthy and the possibility of rebelling is extremely low. However, Shaodang Qiang is only one of the Qiang people in the crowd, and there is a higher existence of Qiang King on Mangzhong. No one can guarantee when the Qiang people will be itchy or be resentful of the losses they suffered in Longfei Town before, and then launch an attack on the special territory again.
Be careful to sail the ship for ten thousand years, and Chen Gong is a model of careful management.
When the defense system of Babao Valley is built, any enemy who wants to attack Longfei Town is afraid that they will have to claim their own weight first! If you want to attack Pi Longfei, be prepared to pay enough lives first!
A certain city lord was finally persuaded by Chen Gong and said with a smile:
"Do it, this project is very large, and I don't know how long it will take to build it. It is best to start from both ends of Babao Valley and support the storefront first; in addition, we also need to inform them of Mangzhong, otherwise they will inevitably have some ideas when they see such a terrifying fortifications built at the bottom of Babao Valley, which will affect everyone's cooperation."
"Yes. The biggest benefit of this defense system is that it utilizes the special terrain of Babao Valley. Except for the valley that occupies a small amount of land to build fortresses, other facilities are all in mid-air and have no big impact on the valley. Whether it is herding horses and sheep or building a production base, it is not a problem."
"Well, the Gongtai believes that if this project is completed, how long will it take?"
"If everything goes well, maybe it will take three years; if there are some twists and turns, it should be completed within five years. After completion, Longfei Town will be connected to Babao Valley and become an indestructible war fortress!" Chen Gong was already a little fanatical. In fact, it is difficult for everyone who knows this idea to have aspirations.
"It depends on you. As long as our war horse trade can get on track, there will be enough funds to support the construction of the defense system, as well as the military expenditure and military expenditure that must be increased for this purpose. Anyway, this business in Liangzhou is under the responsibility of the public station, and it is enough to act directly on the camera. When you need support from Qingzhou, just talk."
"I understand."
As a result, many villagers in the Liangzhou Special Territory and Longdang Town were soon mobilized and began the hot fortress construction project. Plank roads and fortresses began to be built at both ends of Babao Valley, and the originally quiet valley became extremely noisy.
No one knew that the Fengxiang people's construction had disturbed the tranquility of Babao Valley, and some "indigenous people" had strong dissatisfaction with this!
Chapter completed!
