Chapter 714 City of Steel (2)

Chapter Seven Hundred and Fourteen

"Understood. Leave the matter of the city to me."

Zhang Shouzhi said solemnly.

"Um."

Wang Chong nodded, smiled without saying a word. Looking up at the sky, several big blue birds stretched their wings and flew over the city of steel from the horizon.

In the recent period, with the appearance of Wang Chong, more and more hawks and sparrows appeared on the city of steel for scouting.

Wang Chong shook his head and didn't care. He smiled slightly and walked towards other areas.

"Hoof da da!"

However, even Wang Chong didn't notice it. Just as he turned his head and walked to other places, an armored cavalry took a deep look at Wang Chong at a distance of five or six miles to the north of the "City of Steel". direction, then turned around abruptly and headed towards the northwest.

"It's time to report to the adults!"

The war horse crowed, and the iron cavalry with the obvious characteristics of a barbarian, set off clouds of smoke and dust, and quickly disappeared into the distance. Walking along the official road leading to the Western Regions, after hundreds of miles, the iron cavalry left the official road and turned into a magnificent dark golden hall.

"Qixi Protector's Mansion!"

Looking up, you can see a huge black-bottomed plaque at the entrance of the dark golden hall, hanging high above, with five large characters clearly written on it.

This is the most famous Qixi Protectorate on the road to the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty, which is famous all over the world, rejecting Uszang in the east and rejecting the Turkic Khanate in the west.

Wang Chong established a feudal city in Wushang and built a city. The closest one is Qixi Capital Protectorate.

"Hmph, knowing that Qixi is my territory, he still dares to feud and build a city here. It's really courageous. It's only been a year. Does he really think that we will forget about the Jiedu envoy so soon?" event?"

In the grand hall, a burly black shadow, like a tiger crouching on a dragon's plate, sat on a hollow metal throne, exuding a vast and powerful aura like a vast ocean.

Fumeng Lingcha, the last but most powerful general in the northwest of the entire Tang Dynasty!

Although the Qixi Protectorate's Mansion is not at the forefront, no matter if it is the Anxi Protectorate's Mansion,

The Beiting Protectorate's Mansion is still the great fighting army in Longxi. If something goes wrong and the strength is not enough, the most reliable and the one that can give them the most timely support is the Qixi Protectorate's Mansion.

And because of the existence of Fumeng Lingcha, the Protectorate in three directions avoided the situation of fighting on multiple fronts and facing enemies from both sides.

Simply put, what Fumeng Lingcha controls is a "throat" area.

Because of this particularity, no matter Gao Xianzhi, Ge Shuhan, or An Sishun, these important generals of the empire would not dare to offend him easily.

Moreover, Fumeng Lingcha is very old and has very old qualifications. He became famous long before Gao Xianzhi, Ge Shuhan, An Sishun and other later imperial generals. The status of Han generals is average.

That's why so many barbarian generals responded to Fumeng Lingcha's call from the top, and they all executed Wang Chong in the Jiedushi incident.

It's just that Fumeng Lingcha didn't expect that, in just one year, this "culprit" not only didn't run away thousands of miles, but stayed away from him. Instead, he rushed to build a city under his nose. It's not as simple as being bold and presumptuous, but a naked provocation and humiliation.

Even Ge Shuhan and An Sishun dare not be so presumptuous, but this is exactly what the youngest son of the Wang family is doing.

"My lord, the youngest son of the royal family has just been granted the title of Marquis, and he was bestowed with the title of the emperor. It is the time of the spring breeze, and the matter of the fiefdom has also been approved by the imperial court and the Holy Emperor. With these two 'Shangfang Swords', we are afraid that it will be very difficult for us." What to do with him!"

In the main hall, on the left hand side of Fumeng Lingcha, there was a heavy-backed military commander who was obviously a barbarian.

Wang Chong's city was built to Wushang, which is only a few hundred miles away from Qixi. If one were to say that the most unhappy ones were probably not Fumeng Lingcha, the generals and generals, but the barbarian generals who fought in the frontier.

"Jiedushi incident", although the Holy Emperor still passed this resolution, but the execution time of this resolution has been greatly slowed down, and compared with the original content, the power and status of Jiedushi have also been greatly reduced, which is not considered to be an issue at all. Go to the real Jiedushi.

Because of this incident, all the barbarian generals on the frontier almost gritted their teeth, hating Wang Chong to the bone. Because Wang Chong didn't just hurt Fumeng Lingcha and other big guards, he also hurt all the barbarian's upward channels.

After all, the imperial generals like Fumeng Lingcha will abdicate sooner or later, and all the barbarian generals have a chance to take their positions.

When Wang Chong appeared in Qixi, all the barbarian generals wanted to put him to death, but the only problem was that the imperial court was always a threshold they couldn't cross.

"Hmph, back then I wasn't even afraid of Mochaha, who was dressed in white, but would I be afraid of a young boy? Even if he had a feudal order from the imperial court, so what, even if Wang Jiuling was the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. Xi is my territory, are you afraid that I won't be able to cure him?!"

Fumeng Ling inspected the big horse with the golden knife, and sat on the top, bursts of sharp cold light shot out from his eyes, like a knife like a sword, icy cold to the bone.

"What does the lord mean..."

The military commander at the side twitched his eyelids and asked hastily.

"Huh, the construction of the city is time-consuming and labor-intensive. It is difficult to complete without two or three years of work. No matter how fast his Steel City is, it will take at least seven or eight months. He is now in the limelight, so I will give him two months , let him build with peace of mind. After two months, no matter how big his limelight is, it's time for us to do it!"

Fumeng Lingcha gave the general next to him a hard look.

"Also, send a letter to inform Ge Shuhan and An Sishun, presumably the two of them will also be quite interested in that kid."

With the last sentence, Fumeng Lingcha's eyes became extremely deep.

"Clatter!"

A flying pigeon fell from the sky, passed through the open window, and landed in Beidou City. In a quiet study room. The study room is filled with rows of bookcases, and the shelves of the bookcases are filled with scriptures, histories, essays, collections, and some ancient books collected.

In the corner, a copper stove in the shape of a crane stands upright, and bursts of rich sandalwood are spit out from the crane's beak, filling the whole study room, setting off the place like an antique, quiet and elegant.

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would be hard to believe that there was such a study on the front line of the empire, in a war-prone area.

"come yet?"

In the room, there was a gentle, yet majestic voice. One arm stretched out, the five fingers were slender and white, and at the same time contained an infinite force. With just a light squeeze, a letter was pulled out from the carrier pigeon's leg.

Opening the letterhead, there were only a few simple words on it, "Wang Chong has arrived at Wushang".

"Sure enough."

Ge Shuhan looked as expected, and with a slight flick of his fingers, the letter was shattered and scattered on the desk.

"My lord, what should we do next?"

A deep voice came from behind Ge Shuhan. About three steps away, a general of the Great Fighting Army stood there, and he didn't know how long he had been waiting.

"Then Wang Chong is now a young man in the imperial court, and the fact that the emperor bestowed letters is known all over the world. Are we really going to attack him? And the Southwest War, to a certain extent, that kid actually helped us out of the siege , are we really going to deal with him?"

"What do you think?"

Ge Shuhan didn't turn his head, and said calmly.

Behind him, the general of the Great Fighting Army with a bushy mustache was stunned, obviously not expecting Ge Shuhan to ask such a question.

"The Wang family is in the limelight, and they have the relationship with the King of Song. It is indeed unwise to deal with them now. Moreover, the Jiedushi incident, that kid was too disrespectful to the protectorate. Up to now, the brothers have criticized him. In addition , His feudal city can be built anywhere, but he chose Wushang, right under our noses, it is a bit too disrespectful to adults, if you don’t teach him a little lesson, let alone adults, brother I'm afraid we can't see it."

"Also..., Fumeng Lingcha, Chief Protector of Qixi, also sent a letter to your lord, hoping that we will join hands with him and put some pressure on Wang Chong. If we do nothing, the distance is so close, husband I'm afraid Meng Lingcha will have some criticisms for us."

Daoujun general with a bushy mustache said.

"Haha, it seems that you have already understood."

Ge Shuhan put down the "Spring and Autumn" in his left hand, and stood up from the desk. His body was straight, and the air waves rolled invisibly, and a huge aura like mountains and seas radiated from him.

At this moment, Ge Shuhan stood still on the high mountain, and even the general behind him lowered his head slightly, showing a look of awe.

"Wushang has a special geographical location. He wants to build a city there and take advantage of it. How can it be so easy? Moreover, the battle in the southwest is for the country, but Wushang City is for selfishness. One yard is for one yard, so why bother?" take into account."

"Besides, if he doesn't have the ability to gain a foothold in Wushang, then we might be helping him if we put a little pressure on him, and let him retreat in spite of difficulties, which is not a good thing. Then he will understand that the world Things are never as easy as he thought."

Ge Shuhan said lightly.

"My lord is right."

The general with a bushy mustache behind him also nodded obediently, but soon, his eyelids twitched, as if he remembered something, and said hastily:

"It's just, my lord... Wushang City is not just his business now, he has also attracted more than 80% of the aristocratic families in the capital. If we take action at this time, I am afraid that nearly 80% of the aristocratic families in the capital will be killed Everyone is guilty."

As soon as the voice fell, the thick mustache general of the Great Fighting Army showed a deep melancholy between his brows.

In front of the desk, Ge Shuhan, who was originally confident and free and easy, fell silent without frowning, and the study room was dead silent.

Wang Chong's Steel City has been under construction for some time, but up to now, no major actions have been taken by all parties. It's not because they are concerned about the power and status of the Wang family, but because Wang Chong is behind him, and more than 80% of the capital is tied up by him. Aristocratic families in their chariots.

With the development of Tang Dynasty for so many years, these aristocratic families are no longer as simple as ordinary aristocratic families. Their influence has penetrated into the court and the field, the military, and the states and counties in various places.

They represent the top power in the entire empire.

Even Ge Shuhan can't guarantee that there will be no descendants and influences of aristocratic families under his name.
