Lord of the People: I rely on cheating for hegemony

Chapter 776 Inspecting the Pass

On May 5th of the fourth year of Tianxuan, when Qu Mao was about to go out to investigate the local conditions and customs of Duke Liusu, he was stopped by the new product at the gate of the palace, and got the latest news about the expedition fleet led by Sylvia Ocean.

However, the territorial power of the 12 Chosen Players of the Anti-Yizhen Alliance is not a particularly tough opponent after all, so Qu Mao has never taken it seriously.

When Sylvia Ocean proposed to harass the coastal ports and cities of the 12 Chosen Players of the Anti-Easy Town Alliance, Qu Mao only thought that the navy was idle now and it would be good to accumulate some combat experience, so he allowed it. Sylvia Ocean was out fighting.

Now that he had already gone out to fight and there were no casualties, Qu Mao naturally wouldn't interfere too much, and let Sylvia Ocean handle the fighting on his own.

Regardless of whether Sylvia Ocean returned at the end of June or at the end of July, as long as the Holy Land of Yicheng Territory was not threatened by the invading forces, there would be no major problem for Qu Mao.

At this stage, even if the military strength has been achieved, Qu Mao will not easily capture the territory of the lords of the 12 God-Chosen players of the Anti-Yi Town Alliance. His territory is too far away from the Holy Land of Yicheng Territory, even if it is taken down, it will be inconvenient to manage.

The only thing about the navy that makes Qu Mao feel a little worried is the Fur Swamp fleet that was sent to deliver food to Fulu Principality in Fuzhi at the end of February and early March. At the same time, Fuzhi did not report that he received the food delivered by Fuer Swamp.

For a long time, Sylvia Ocean did not report the news of Fuer Swanpu and her fleet to Qumao, or Fuer Swanpu was getting farther and farther away from the holy land of Yicheng territory, so she sent a messenger back It's getting more and more inconvenient.

Xinping's report didn't take up too much time for Qu Mao, so after sending Xinping away, Qu Mao was free again in the palace of Duke Tassel.

It took about three days for Duke Liusu to go to the King City, but Qu Mao had already gone around a lot, and he also knew a lot about the customs and customs of the King City.

Su Yan was worried about Qu Mao's safety when he went out for a private visit on Weibo alone, so Qu Mao naturally wouldn't let Su Yan continue to worry.

But Su Yan would definitely not agree to stay in Liusu Duke's King City and wander alone, and Qu Mao could not get any new news or insights.

After thinking for a long time in the palace office, Qu Mao finally remembered that the fortification projects of Yicheng Territory on the main mainland were not limited to Wucheng Port, Wucheng and Teleportation City.

In fact, after taking Luanshanhou Kingdom in early March, the territory of Yicheng built Aikou Pass in the narrow valley at the junction of Luanshanhou Kingdom and Jierhou Kingdom.

The construction planning drawings of Aikou Pass were originally drawn by Kong Ming, but Qu Mao immediately revised and adjusted them in the Holy Land, and asked the Garrison and Expeditionary Forces to abandon the completed results and build them completely according to their own construction planning drawings.

But later, Jierhou Kingdom was also captured by the high-ranking soldiers of the Yicheng Territory Army. The pass was originally built to defend against enemies from the direction of Jierhou Kingdom, but now it has become less meaningful.

Since the defensive significance is not that great, although the construction of Aikou Pass is still going on, it is not rushing day and night.

Zhang Da, the hero of the garrison who supervised the construction of Aikou Pass, also led his army into the territory of Jierhou State to assist the expeditionary army in taking over the city of Jierhou State and maintaining public order.

As a military pass that he personally draws the construction planning blueprints, Qu Mao felt that he should take a look.

After lunch on May 5th in the fourth year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao summoned 13 fifth-tier court guards in Liusu's palace, greeted Su Yan, and led 100 fifth-tier court guards on horseback Leave the palace and walk towards the southeast gate of the royal city.

Now that he has decided to go to Aikou Pass for inspection, Qu Mao has no plan to enter the Marquis of Bertier from the southwestern border of the Principality of Liusu, bypass the mountains from the Marquis of Bertier, enter the territory of the Marquis of Jill, and then go straight to Aikou Pass.

The route Qu Mao chose was to take the southeast direction of the Liusu Principality, pass through the canyon at the junction of the Liusu Principality and the Luanshan Hou Kingdom, and then turn around and head towards Aikou Pass.

After choosing this way, the whole journey will be more than 200 kilometers, and the whole journey will be more than [-] kilometers.

The speed and stamina of the horses on the Continent for Hegemony are not completely in line with reality, especially for the horses and troops belonging to the Chosen player like Qu Mao, the speed and endurance still have distinct game attributes.

从天选四年5月13日中午出发，到天选四年5月15日上午10点左右，曲茂便带着100名五阶宫廷禁卫赶到隘口关关口。

This is still on the premise of ensuring the most basic sleep and rest every night. If Zhang Da led the guards to attack, I am afraid that they will arrive at dawn on May 5.

From a distance, the construction of Aikou Pass is still going on, but obviously the input of people is not as much as before.

The city wall near Luanshanhou Kingdom has been built to the third level, and the height of the city wall has reached about 10 meters. The height of the fifth-level city wall will eventually be 15 meters, which is equivalent to the completion of the city wall near Luanshan Houguo. About 60%.

Qu Mao made a simple visual inspection, and roughly judged that the number of construction workers on this city wall was about 2, not too many, but not too few.

Leading the fifth-tier imperial guards into Aikou Pass, you can see teams of expeditionary soldiers patrolling in full armor. At present, Aikou Pass is still deployed according to wartime.

Inspecting the construction of Aikou Pass all the way, Qu Mao walked towards the wall close to the Marquis of Jier, but before Qu Mao could complete the journey, Marquis Zhang Zhiyong appeared in front of Qu Mao, panting.

Qu Mao had no choice but to stop his horse. Marquis Zhang Zhiyong bowed his hands and saluted, "My lord, I was notified by Queen Su Yan that I knew that you would come to Aikou Pass for inspection, so I hurried over here. I finally saw you, my lord."

Nodding, Qu Mao said: "Marquis Zhang Zhiyong, you don't have to come here to accompany me. After all, the Luanshan Marquis has just experienced a war, and you have just sealed the Luanshan Marquis. Many things such as stabilizing people's hearts and resuming production are enough. You are busy.

I wandered around casually, maybe I went directly from Aikou Pass to the construction site of Wucheng. "

Marquis Zhang Zhiyong wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "My lord, this subordinate should accompany you. As long as you are in your fiefdom, this subordinate must accompany you. After all, this subordinate is the Marquis conferred by Queen Su Yan. Queen Yan is your subordinate again.

You can leave anytime and anywhere, but as long as you stay in the territory of Luanshan Marquis for one day, the subordinates have to receive you for one day. "

Qu Mao thought for a while and said, "Okay! The guest can do as he pleases."
