Chapter 45 Inspecting the Pass
On May 13, the fourth year of Tianxuan, when Qu Mao was about to go out to inspect the customs and customs of the royal city of Prince Liusu, he was stopped by Xinpin at the gate of the palace and received the latest news about the expedition fleet led by Sylvia Ocean.
However, the territorial power of the 12 Chosen players in the Anti-Yi Town Alliance was not a particularly tough opponent after all, so Qu Mao never paid attention to them.
When Sylvia Ocean proposed to harass the ports and cities along the coast of the 12 God-Chosen player lords of the Anti-Yi 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 is away fighting.
Since he has gone out to fight and there are no casualties, Qu Mao will naturally not interfere too much and let Sylvia Ocean handle the battle on his own.
Regardless of whether Sylvia Ocean returns at the end of June or at the end of July, as long as the holy land of Yicheng territory is not threatened by invading forces, there will be no big problem for Qu Mao.
At this stage, even if the military strength is reached, Qu Mao will not easily capture the territory of the 12 God-Chosen player lords of the Anti-Yi Town Alliance. On the one hand, there is a shortage of administrative talents in the Yicheng territory, and secondly, the Anti-Yi Town Alliance is also
The territory is too far away from the holy land of Yicheng territory. Even if it is taken over, it will be inconvenient to manage.
The only thing about the navy that makes Qu Mao a little worried is the fleet of Fur Swanpo sent out to deliver food to the Fulu Principality in late February and early March. There has been no news for two or three months, and the Lord Exchange Channel
Even though Fu Zhi did not report receiving the grain delivered by Full Swanpe.
Sylvia Ocean did not report to Qu Mao the news about Fur Swanpu and her fleet for a long time, or Fur Swan Pu was getting farther and farther away from the holy land of Yicheng territory and sent a messenger back.
It's becoming more and more inconvenient.
Xinping's report did not take up much of Qu Mao's time, so after sending Xinping off, Qu Mao had some leisure time in the palace of Duke Liusu.
It took about three days to visit the royal city of Duke Liusu. In fact, Qu Mao had already learned a lot about the customs and customs of the royal city.
Su Yan was worried about Qu Mao's safety when he went out alone for a private visit, so Qu Mao naturally would not let Su Yan continue to worry.
But Su Yan would definitely not agree to staying alone in Prince Liusu's palace and wandering around alone, and Qu Mao would not get any new information or insights.
After thinking for a long time in the palace office, Qu Mao finally remembered that the Yicheng territory's fortification projects on the main continent were not just Wucheng Port, Wucheng and Teleport City.
In fact, after taking over the Luanshan Kingdom in early March, the Yicheng Territory built a pass in the narrow valley at the junction of the Luanshan Kingdom and the 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 construction results and build them completely according to his own construction planning drawings.
However, later the Gil Hou Kingdom was also captured by the high-level warriors of the Yicheng Territory Army. The pass was originally built to defend against enemies coming from the direction of the Gil Hou Kingdom, but now it is not that significant.
Since the defense significance is not that important, although the construction project of Aikou Pass is still continuing, it is not rushed day and night.
Zhang Da, the hero of the garrison who supervised the construction of Aikou Pass, also led his troops into the territory of Jirhou Kingdom to assist the expeditionary force in taking over the city of Jirhou Kingdom and maintaining public order.
As a military pass for which he personally drew the construction plans, Qu Mao felt that he should take a look.
After lunch on May 13, the fourth year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao summoned 100 fifth-level palace guards in the palace of Duke Liusu. He greeted Su Yan, then rode on his war horse and led the 100 fifth-level palace guards.
Leave the palace and walk towards the southeast gate of the royal city.
Since he decided to inspect Aikou Pass, Qu Mao had no plan to enter the Bai Tier Kingdom from the southwestern border of Liusu Principality, then go around the mountains from the Bai Tier Kingdom into the Jir Hou Kingdom, and then go straight to Aikou Pass.
The route Qu Mao chose was to take the southeast direction of Liusu Principality, pass through the canyon at the junction of Liusu Principality and Luoshan Hou Kingdom, and then turn around and head towards Aikou Pass.
After making this choice, the entire journey will be approximately more than 200 kilometers longer, and the total distance will be approximately more than 500 kilometers.
The speed and stamina of war horses in the Battle for Hegemony Continent are not completely based on reality. Especially for the horses and troops belonging to the Chosen players like Qu Mao, the speed and endurance still have distinct game attributes.
Starting from noon on May 13, the fourth year of Tianxuan, to around 10 a.m. on May 15, the fourth year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao led 100 fifth-level palace guards to the Aikou Pass.
This is under the premise of ensuring the most basic sleep and rest every night. If Zhang Da led the garrison to attack like he did before, I am afraid that he would be able to arrive at dawn on May 14th.
From a distance, the construction project of Aikou Pass is still continuing, but obviously the amount of people invested is not as much as it was originally.
The city wall close to the Luanshan Kingdom has been built to about the third level. The height of the city wall has reached about 10 meters. The height of the fifth-level city wall will eventually be 15 meters. This is equivalent to the completion of the city wall close to the Luanshan Kingdom.
Around 60.
Qu Mao made a simple visual inspection and roughly judged that the number of workers working on this city wall was about 20,000, not too many, but not too few either.
Leading the fifth-level palace guards into the Aikou Pass, you can see groups of expeditionary soldiers patrolling in full gear. Currently, the Aikou Pass is still fortified according to wartime.
While inspecting the construction inside the Aikou Pass, Qu Mao walked towards the pass wall close to the Marquis of Jir. However, before Qu Mao could finish the journey, Marquis Zhang Zhiyong appeared in front of Qu Mao out of breath.
Qu Mao had to stop his horse, and Marquis Zhang Zhiyong raised his hands and saluted: "My lord, my subordinates were notified by Queen Su Yan that you would come to Aikou Pass for inspection, so they rushed over quickly and finally met you, your lord."
Nodding, Qu Mao said: "Marquis Zhang Zhiyong, there is no need for you to come specially to accompany me. After all, the Luanshan Kingdom has just experienced a war, and you have just sealed the Luanshan Kingdom, stabilized the people's sentiments, resumed production, and many other things."
You are busy.
I'll wander around casually, maybe I'll go directly from Aikou Pass to the Wucheng construction site."
Marquis Zhang Zhiyong wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "My lord, I should still accompany you. As long as you are in my fiefdom, I have to accompany you. After all, I am a marquis conferred by Queen Su Yan. Su
Queen Yan is your subordinate again.
You can leave at any time and at any time, but as long as you are in the Luanshan Marquis Kingdom for one day, your subordinates will have to receive you for one day."
Qu Mao thought for a while and said: "Okay! Guests can do as they please."
