Vol 9 Chapter 472: fortress

The Aoki collar can only be regarded as a remote place in the Daowu area. Although they are close to the thirteen islands overseas, they can do some maritime business, but their business is mostly done with the thirteen overseas islands. They can't be reached far away, because shipping is the lifeblood of the thirteen islands overseas, so they have been firmly in their hands, not allowing others to easily get involved, even if the Aoki collar wants to do the sea. The business is also impossible. In that case, it will cause a strong rebound of the thirteen islands overseas. At that time, the two sides will fight, and the strength of the overseas thirteen islands will not be better than that of Aoki, so the Aoki collar is not now. Dare to do the business of shipping.
There is no way to expand overseas, and there is no way to expand on land. Under this circumstance, there is almost no room for development in the Aoki collar, and there are three territories with the Aoki collar. The two are the same as the Aoki collar. It is also the territory of the coast. The area of ​​these two territories is similar to that of the Aoki collar. The situation is similar to that of the Aoki collar. It is not even as good as the Aoki collar. Because Aoki is the closest to the overseas thirteen islands, you can also do some shipping business. The other two territories are far away from the thirteen islands overseas. They want to do the shipping business, but they are not as convenient as the Aoki collar, so the two territories are also more impoverished.
Zhao Hai’s goal is of course not the other two territories, but the third territory that comes with the Aoki collar. The territory of this territory has been extended to the inner land of the Taoist martial arts. The leader is big, and of course he is more prosperous. Zhao Hai’s goal is this territory. This territory is called Qingshiling.
There is only one word difference with the Aoki collar, but the difference is very far. The Aoki collar is close to the sea, and it is mostly hilly, but the bluestone collar is different. There is a mountain between the bluestone collar and the greenwood collar. This mountain is called Daqing Mountain. This Qingshan Mountain produces a kind of bluestone. This kind of bluestone is very hard and is the finest stone for construction. This bluestone is mostly produced from the side of the bluestone collar, and the bluestone collar It is also named after it.
In addition to this Daqing Mountain, the land of the Qingshi Lingzhi is mostly plains, the land is very fertile, so it is relatively richer, and the family of the lord of the Qingshi collar is He, and the family is the bluestone collar. The biggest family, in fact, the situation of the bluestone collar is similar to that of the Aoki collar. Although the family is the largest family of the bluestone collar, the bluestone collar is divided into counties, and the counties are also controlled by some small families. That is to say, in the Daowu world, there is no territory at all, and a centralized system has been formed, all of which are alliances one by one. Even if a territory is a large alliance, it is so simple.
The border of Aoki’s bluestone collar is bounded by Daqing Mountain. There are several mountain roads in Daqing Mountain. There is a fortress at each mountain road. Of course, these mountain roads are not very large, but the main main passages. It is a canyon called Songfeng Gorge.
At the south exit of Songfeng Gorge, it is a fortress built by Aoki, and at the north exit of Songfeng Gorge, a fortress is built by the bluestone. These two fortresses are here at Songfeng Gorge. It has been squatting, and it has been said that more than a hundred years ago, the two sides also broke out a big battle. In the end, the two sides were delineated. With the Daqing Mountain as the boundary, Songfeng Gorge is the only passage in Daqingshan that can penetrate the whole mountain. Both sides naturally have to send heavy troops to guard them.
The Aoki collar has a 100,000-strong army stationed here all the year round, and the 100,000-strong army is all drawn out from the various territories. This army is rotated every five years, but the total number will not change, and this fortress The army of the glory is generally not moving, because once the army here is moved, the people of the bluestone collar may directly rush into the Aoki collar, and the entire Aoki collar will be finished, so this fortress The ranks of the army, in the Aoki collar is still very high.
However, in recent years, the situation has improved somewhat. The two sides have not been fighting for many years. The trade has been passed for many years, so the situation here is not so tight. It is because of this, so the army of the pine wind fortress here still has There are as many as 100,000, but the drill is inevitable and somewhat slack.
The Songfeng Fortress is the name of the fortress on the side of the Aoki collar, and the fortress on the side of the Qingshi collar is called the Songfeng Fort. It is to have a distinction. This Songfeng Fortress is just plugged in this Songfeng Gorge, built almost on both sides. The height of the mountain is as high as 20 feet. The whole body is built by Daqingshi, and the length is also ten miles. There are as many as eight in the city gate.
There are a lot of merchants here every day. The length of the Songfeng Gorge is only about 30 miles, so no one stays in the Songfeng Gorge. It is usually in the city outside the fortress on both sides. rest. Originally this was not allowed, but because there was no war between the two sides for many years, no one cares about it.
This day, the Guards of the Songfeng Fortress is still the same as before. After an hour of dawn, this opened the door of the eight fortresses. The caravans that had been waiting outside the door began to enter and exit. It was very lively. This has been going on for about two hours. The soldiers who are observing the fortress gates are standing there boringly. If they are not strict with them, they are not allowed to leave. They are afraid that they will leave early, even if they are strict, they also I feel very bored.
At this moment, suddenly the fortresses outside the fortress who had to enter the fortress suddenly had a madness, and no one ran to the fortress like a fly. This made the soldiers alert and they immediately looked around. I glanced at them, and then their eyes were rounded up. They saw a giant elephant and walked slowly toward the fortress.
This giant elephant is really too high. It seems to be three feet tall and very tall. Every step seems to make the earth tremble. The soldiers who guard the city gates are all there when they see the giant elephant. They really didn't know what to do. At this time, suddenly a shrill whistle came, and the soldiers responded. They immediately ran to the city and ran to the city while loudly : "Guanchengmen, close the gate."
They have been here for a long time, and they have seen such a giant elephant, so they will be such a reaction. Soon, the eight gates on the fortress were all closed, and the people on the fortress were all nervously watching the giant elephants outside the city. In a few moments, several generals with top helmets appeared on the wall. One by one looked nervously at the giant elephant outside.
The giant elephant slowly came to the outside of the city, and stopped at about 30 feet from the city wall. The people in the city only saw it clearly. On the back of the giant elephant, there were two people, a man and a woman. The man sat calmly in his face, still closed his eyes, and the woman sat next to the man, dressed in a palace dress, but it looked like a maid.
The general in the city glanced at the people outside the city and said loudly: "Who are you? Why come to my pine wind fortress?" The general saw that the person did not seem to want to use force, so this would be the case. He believes that if the other party really wants to use force, it will soon be a force, and will not wait until now.
At this time, the general in the city heard the woman sitting on the back of the elephant and said: "The people in the city listened, my young master is the elder of Aoki, and the commander of the lord, who travels the world, is now going to the bluestone collar. The generals let go." The voice didn't seem to be very big, but it was clearly transmitted to the general's ears. The general heard the other person saying so, but he couldn't help but change his face because of his slight change. That woman's hand is enough to explain their strength. This kind of strength is not something he can deal with, so his face will be so ugly.
However, the general also understood the meaning of the woman. When he heard the identity of the other party, he really caught it. He also had some understanding of the situation in Qingshicheng. He did not seem to remember that there was such a place in Qingshicheng. The elders of the guest, but the other party said, he can not be scorned, and immediately said: "Can there be a certificate?"
"The customs clearance and identity gold medals are here, the generals please see." The woman’s voice came from one time. When she heard the woman say this, the general was relieved, but he waved his hand and immediately Someone put down a basket, which was tied with a long rope and slowly entered under the wall.
When the woman saw this situation, she couldn't help but snorted. Then she didn't see her movements. She saw her body flashing a few flashes, and she had already reached the wall, then put two things in the basket, then she The figure flashed again and it was back on the back of the giant elephant.
When the general saw the action of the woman, he did not dare to neglect. He immediately waved his hand and immediately put the basket up. The general took out a gold medal in the basket and cleared the customs. Looked at it and looked at Zhao Hai again. He just took a breath and then said: "Open the city gate." The people under his hand were all relieved, and then someone immediately ran to the city gate. It is.
Then the eight gates were all opened, and the soldiers in the city were all listed on both sides of the city gate, holding weapons in their hands, and Zhao Hai also went to the gate with Xiangxiong at this time, they have not yet reached the city. At the door, there were several horses rushing out of the city. The head was a general who looked like he was fifty years old. The general sat in the horse and came to the front of Xiangxiong. He stopped the horse and held his hands. With the identity gold medal and customs clearance, the last move, the loud voice: "Yu Fengyang has seen the elders, just rude, and please the elders forgive me."
When Yu Fengyang just finished speaking, he felt that his hand was light. The next time the customs clearance and identity gold medal had disappeared from his hand, he felt that the other party did not come down from the elephant’s back. Just use a special force to things up.
Then Yu Fengyang heard a voice saying: "Yu General is polite, this is your duty, what can be said to be rude, but I want to go to the bluestone collar today, so I will not bother the general. The general does not have to spend a lot of time, we will leave immediately, if there is any rude place, please also forgive me." This time it is Zhao Hai.
