When Pan Geng moved to Yin, I initiated Jian Shang

Xin Qu's mobilization was quite large in scale. After all, he was going to expedition to the Western Regions. He even sent people to Luo River to inform Dayi Shang of some intelligence about the Western Regions.

Especially words like "three thousand miles to the west, with a population of five hundred thousand."

Three thousand miles.

It seems far, but in fact it is not too far for the two major powers that possess chariots.

Just follow the flow of the water upstream and you will find all passable roads.

Our ancestors have used hundreds of thousands of years of migration and time to gradually outline the map of human survival.

But for Dayi Shang, this...didn't make them react too much.

Prince Xun even said: "Yan State is willing to go on an expedition, that is Yan State's business only, and has nothing to do with us."

The nobles all echoed the sentiment, and even some wizards offered sacrifices to the results that Xinqu could obtain on his journey.

No one knows the result of the divination.

All we know is that several months after that, until the beginning of spring, Dayi Shang launched an attack on Anyi and Shaoliang, and paid no attention to the developments and trends in the north.

Until summer.

Xin Qu looked at the hillside with gurgling water and the waves of the lake. Above the sparkling light, there were occasional howls of hawks and wolves.

At the same time, various kinds of antelopes crossed the mountains and found suitable mountain roads for the State of Yan to move forward.

Jin Tianshi's slaves carried wooden hammers and wedges and chiseled stones bit by bit. The stones rolled down to the foot of the mountain, where they were cut and glued together to build camps and villages between mountain roads, canyons and plains.

The construction technology from the East can easily turn the wilderness into a home.

What will embellish the wilderness will be not only wild beasts, but also the sparks of civilization.

"Finally! It's completely done!!!"

Xin Qu stepped on an isolated city in the northern border of the Western Regions. The "Yan" flag fluttered in the strong wind. There was constant cheering at the foot of the mountain. No matter nobles or slaves, everyone was excited.

Yes, it's done.

After the beginning of spring, the State of Yan had been struggling to move its camp forward little by little, crossing the Doumou Mountains and officially entering the heart of the northern border of the Western Regions. It wiped out three local countries and more than a dozen tribes and gained a population of more than 10,000. It then gathered subjects and laborers from vassal states in the east, totaling 100,000 people. It took three months to successfully build a new city here.

Having this city means that there is an outpost on the western foot of Doumao Mountain, and it also means that no one will be able to break through the eastern foot easily.

"Beibo, please give this city a name."

While everyone was excited, they did not forget the most important thing.

Xinqu glanced to the south and saw Lake Ulungur over there, scattering golden light under the sun.

"The heavenly palace is like this." Xinqu was a little emotional. It was one of the water sources in the entire northern Xinjiang and the upper reaches of the Irtysh River, which was flowing outward. If it controlled Altay, it would be no problem to support 20,000 to 30,000 tribes.

"There are golden mountains here, and the gold in the ravines is innumerable." Xin Qu pointed to the mountains in the north. The flat ground rose up like a dragon, but there was gold between the folds. After opening a passage along the way, he naturally discovered countless gold sands in many ravines.

Of course, what’s more important is that there is not only gold sand, but also some other things. It is an absolute treasure trove of resources.

"There is also the Silver Belt Waterway, which is extremely rich." Xinqu looked at the Irtysh River that passed around the city. Now it had a simple and crude name, called the Silver Belt River.

"Do you have any ideas?"

Xin Qu did not do all the work by himself. He asked the nobles and wizards who were accompanying him and gave them respect.

The wizards who followed had various backgrounds, so after some discussion, a young man came up and said, "My Lord Bei, we have discussed this.

This city, in the Book of Changes, Feng Shui, and Construction, is a typical city that is close to mountains and rivers, and also carries the power of mountains and rivers. If it is located in the basin of Quanhu, it is the eye of the basin of gold and silver, and it is definitely a feng shui that brings wealth. However, the Yindai River flows to the northwest, and some of it still leaks to the downstream.

The West is dominated by the White Tiger, which represents killing and destruction. Water can drain away evil and stop evil, so it feels like escaping from a tiger's mouth.

Therefore, gold and silver cannot be used. The west itself is dominated by the evil spirits of gold and silver, and using gold and silver as the city name clearly means that it is the White Tiger that is causing trouble.

Moreover, if the characters are too hard, they will break easily, but at the same time, you cannot use characters that are too soft, otherwise they will not be able to hold the power.

Therefore, we discussed and thought that we could rename this lake Yaochi. The city beside Yaochi was built with stones taken from Jinshan Mountain, so why not call it Yaofu County? "

Xin Qu raised his eyebrows slightly: "The word is good, but Yaochi is a pool in the sky. It is obviously inappropriate to put it in a low-lying place. As for the word Yao, it does not mean beautiful jade, but a stone inferior to beautiful jade.

There is a sweet spring on the top, and the Yaochi is inside. The Yaochi is the second most beautiful pool in the sky.

So, it’s not appropriate.”

Xin Qu shook his head slightly, Yaofu was not suitable.

Since the city in front of us controls the upper reaches of the Yindai River, it is better not to use the inferior character "Yao" as the heading, otherwise it will always feel like something is missing.

When everyone heard this, they felt it made some sense.

But they were distressed.

I can't think of any good words.

Xin Qu coughed lightly, suppressed their scratching, and said, "Let's use the word Rui. Rui means jade and trust. Yao is a second-rate jade and a beautiful stone, and Rui means a beautiful jade and trust. This place is in the north of the pond, and this city is a small town in the wild, not a small hill in the mountains, so we use the right ear instead of the left ear. So it's called Bei.

They were collectively called Ruibei, and a county was established to govern this area.

As for the lake in the south, south of the Yinshui River, it is called Nanbo.”

"Mr. Bei is wise." A group of people hurried forward to accompany him, nodding and bowing, very humble.

Xin Qu was also very satisfied, Ruibei was finally established.

After that, I discussed with them how to arrange the nearby area. They were having a good chat when a messenger came from the south: "Report! The south discovered that the Jin Tian clan's main army is heading north. The vanguard is riding horses and driving carriages, and there are 30,000 people."

Xin Qu, who was interrupted, suppressed his dissatisfaction and put on a smiling face: "Great! It's worth waiting for them for so long! Finally, we have gathered enough troops for a battle! Come on! Quickly organize the troops, and the rest of you should put stakes along the city, place chevaux de frise, rely on Ruibei, and defend the city!"

"only!"

Everyone took action.

Xin Qu rubbed his hands and waited excitedly.

There are 30,000 vanguards alone, so if you add up all the rest, there must be at least 200,000.

As long as he could grab them all, he wouldn't have to covet the population of the Indian Peninsula. This group of people alone could create a hundred years of national fortune for the Yan State!
So, we can't scare them away so quickly.

We need to let them go deeper, then surround the point and attack the reinforcements, and try to capture as many of them alive as possible!
Thinking of this, Xin Qu became more and more excited.

In the south, under the banner of Jin Tianshi, a group of people were rapidly approaching the north. When they arrived at the south of Nanbo, they saw a new city in the north from afar.

It was at least three people tall and infinitely wide. The most important thing was the circle of thorny wooden stakes around it, which made their eyelids twitch slightly.

These enemies are really quite capable.

The main general Jin Tianying is one of the twelve leaders of the Jintian clan.

He stared at the city with a sharp gaze and said slowly: "So they are a group of cowards who can only hide behind the city. This will be easy to deal with!" (End of this chapter)
