Hand over the jade seal first [Infrastructure]

Xiao Zirong's head was full of question marks, Xiao Xuexing simply asked someone to take over the map around Taoyuan City.

This map was redrawn by someone he sent. The map that Xiao Zirong drew before was basically the place where they often moved, and there were no other places in the surrounding area. This map is much more detailed. Xiao Zirong reckoned It is estimated that the radiation has reached a range of ten or twenty miles nearby.

He looked at the map carefully, and suddenly pointed to the foot of a mountain next to Taoyuan City and asked, "What is this place? It doesn't look much smaller than Taoyuan City."

Xiao Xuexing said: "This is the place where I said I want to resettle people. There used to be people here, but later... moved away one after another."

As soon as Xiao Zirong heard it, he knew that it was probably because of Wen's family affairs. The people here were timid and worried, so they moved away.

He raised his head and took a sneak peek at Xiao Xuexing, and found that the other person's expression was calm, and he could calmly mention the past, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and asked curiously: "It's so close, I didn't even know."

Xiao Xuexing nodded slightly: "The people living here are all offshoots or relatives of the former Wen family."

Xiao Zirong's eyes widened slightly after hearing this: "Then...then this is also your territory?"

Xiao Xuexing nodded, saying that there seemed to be no problem with his territory.

Xiao Zirong asked curiously: "Brother, how old was your family...?"

He originally thought it was just the area of ​​Taoyuan City, but now it seems that since the territory in the next mountain is also owned by Wen's family, then obviously this mountain should also belong to Wen's family.

Xiao Xuexing clicked on the map and said, "This is all the pictures on it."

Xiao Zirong looked down and was dumbfounded.

That area is not small, roughly as large as Nanyanzhou Mansion. Of course, many of this area is covered with mountains, but it is not small.

With so many mountains, the source of Wen family's money probably depends on these mountains.

But Xiao Zirong didn't dare to ask more, for fear of asking about Xiao Xuexing's sad things again.

Xiao Xuexing guessed his doubts all at once, and said: "When Spring brings you to the mountains for a walk, those mines should still be there."

Xiao Zirong was startled: "Is there a mine in the mountains?"

Xiao Xuexing glanced at him: "Why do you think the Wen family has a foothold here?"

How could it be possible to support a big family just by relying on that little mountain product?

There are not only mines in the mountains, but also a lot of mines.

At the beginning, it was precisely because these minerals were coveted. Some people wanted to put pressure on the Wen family, but the Wen family was not a family to bully. There were also people in their family who were officials, and their positions were not high, but they had occupied South Yanzhou for many years. Ordinary people can move.

At that time, the governor of Southern Yanzhou was greedy for these mines, and hated that Wen's family didn't know what was good or bad and refused to cooperate with him. Wen's family was flattened.

This is the first time for Xiao Zirong to know the truth about the downfall of the Wen family. After hearing this, he was dumbfounded. He originally thought it might be because of the Northern Wei Dynasty or other reasons, but he never thought that the cause was just because of a state. It's just the governor's greed.

Xiao Xuexing regretted seeing him as if he was frightened and said: "I shouldn't have told you this."

Xiao Zirong came back to his senses and said very angrily: "This person...how is this person..."

He didn't even know what adjectives to use. He felt like he was scratching his head. Any word he could think of was not enough to describe the other party. To say that he committed a heinous crime would be an understatement.

Seeing him blushing with anger, Xiao Xuexing quickly pulled him into his arms to comfort him and said, "Okay, everything is over."

Hearing these words, Xiao Zirong looked up at Xiao Xuexing, and found that the other person's expression was indeed relatively calm, as if he really let go.

He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Then... what happened to these people?"

His brother has been in power for so long, it is impossible for those people to still be alive, even when Xiao Xuexing was just in his early days, they might have to take revenge first.

Xiao Xuexing's voice was a little cold: "Zuzhu."

After he finished speaking, he was worried that his younger brother would think that he was avenging his personal revenge, so he said: "At that time, the thief colluded with the Northern Wei Dynasty, and there was evidence of collaborating with the enemy. He will be punished as a crime of conspiracy."

It's just that what he didn't say is that the crime of treason also depends on it. Generally, it's the three tribes of the barbarians, and it's rare to punish the nine tribes. But at that time, Xiao Xuexing forbeared for a long time, and waited until Xiao Yu came to power to start a little bit of liquidation. Naturally, it was impossible to just let it go.

For many years, that family stepped on the bones of his family step by step, how could he leave disaster behind?

It is his greatest kindness not to kill them all, but to serve as official slaves under the age of fifteen according to the regulations.

Xiao Zirong didn't think it was a big deal, even if his brother killed him with such a big hatred, it wouldn't be surprising that the other party didn't show mercy to the Wen family's children when they colluded with bandits and the Northern Wei Dynasty. In the end, only his brother survived.

The more Xiao Zirong thought about it, the more distressed she became, she couldn't help but hugged Xiao Xuexing's waist, and rubbed against his cheek.

Xiao Xuexing was itchy from his hair, he couldn't help holding his head and laughing softly: "What are you doing? Why do you look like a puppy?"

Xiao Zirong didn't want to say clearly that he was distressed, he just hummed and asked: "That person is cheap, he really deserves to be hacked into pieces."

But Xiao Xuexing didn't speak, Xiao Zirong looked up a little strangely and saw the corners of his brother's lips tightly pursed, and the expression on his face seemed a bit unwilling.

He originally thought that Xiao Xuexing felt that what he said was right, but at this moment the other party felt a little regretful, so he quickly comforted him: "The matter is over..."

He racked his brains to comfort the other party, but he heard Xiao Xuexing say, "It's not over."

Xiao Zirong was a little confused: "Huh?"

Xiao Xuexing closed his eyes and said: "Although the thief's family was punished, he... probably ran away."

Xiao Zirong frowned: "Run away? Where is he going?"

Xiao Xuexing said in a deep voice, "Northern Wei Dynasty."

Xiao Zirong immediately wanted to understand the key point: "He... used his relationship in the Northern Wei Dynasty to run away by himself?"

Forget about the rest of the tribe, parents, wives, children, brothers and sisters didn't care, and he ran away alone. Is this still a human being?

Xiao Xuexing nodded and then slowly shook his head: "Not only that, I suspect that he...may be a pawn inserted by Northern Wei An."

For the first time, Xiao Zirong felt that his IQ was not enough, so he just asked: "Then his family members are all real family members?"

Xiao Xuexing said hesitantly: "It's hard to say, I just found some clues. The family originally had a son who died of illness at a young age. Later, the family moved to another place sadly, and the place where they settled later found out It was the son of that family who fell ill, but was later cured."

Xiao Zirong immediately grasped the key point: "Impersonator? Then this family...does it benefit from the Northern Wei Dynasty?"

Xiao Xuexing said: "I can't find out. If it is true, the hands and feet of the Northern Wei people are very clean, and there are no clues left."

If it is true, then this person's behavior of ignoring his family members is very understandable. They are not his family members. His family members may all be in the Northern Wei Dynasty. Anyway, I can marry again in the future.

Xiao Zirong touched Xiao Xuexing's frowning brows, and said softly: "Brother, don't worry, you can always find this person to take revenge."

Xiao Xuexing knew that Xiao Zirong was trying to comfort him, so he originally wanted to follow suit, but in front of Xiao Zirong, he didn't want to pretend to be confident, so he just smiled bitterly and said, "It's not easy."

The other party was in the Northern Wei Dynasty, no matter how powerful Xiao Xuexing was, he couldn't reach out. He had indeed placed some people in the Northern Wei Dynasty over the years, but none of these people could get to the top, so naturally he couldn't find much useful information.

Xiao Zirong originally wanted to say that I was here to help you, but he felt that Xiao Xuexing would not believe what he said, so he changed his tone and said, "It doesn't matter, if you can't find it, you won't look for it."

Xiao Xuexing looked at him in surprise, and before he could say anything, he heard Xiao Zirong say with high spirits: "At worst, let's fight there. When the time comes, Luoyang will be defeated, and Emperor Wei will hand him over directly!"

Xiao Xuexing: ...

He couldn't help but laughed directly, thinking that this kid really dared to think.

Taking back the Northland has been something that the Han people have been thinking about for many years, but for so many years, not to mention taking it back, even defending it is very difficult. Hu Lu is almost empty talk.

Xiao Xuexing has a heart, but how much can he do alone?Not to mention that it is not an exaggeration to say that Nan Qi is a mess now.

Xiao Zirong didn't mind seeing him smile. Many people might not believe what he said, but he could see that what Nan Qi needed now was to pass on the contradiction.

Because he couldn't win the Northern Wei Dynasty and didn't dare to fight, he could only fight for power every day to divert his attention, or he would lose his fig leaf.

The establishment of such things as confidence from scratch is linked to the strength of the country. The geographical location of the Southern Qi is very good, occupying the world's granary, and the aspect of food and grass is actually much more relaxed than that of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

The so-called wars are generally fought on logistics and financial resources, and Nan Qi has a natural advantage in this regard.

It's just that the Northern Wei Dynasty occupied a large area of ​​plains, and the barbarians' cavalry were powerful at first, and they may become more and more powerful now that they have been supplied by those large grasslands.

Half of the cavalry is useless in the mountains, so the opponent can't fight now, but they can still develop infantry.

On the Southern Qi side, there were not too many horses, and the cavalry was not very good, but the navy was stronger, but you can't just rely on the navy to fight against the Northern Wei Dynasty, you must find a way to destroy the opponent's cavalry.

As for the training of cavalry... This thing is too expensive, and the money for raising horses is a huge expense. Those people in the court may not agree, so they can only find a way elsewhere.

As long as you win the war with the Northern Wei Dynasty twice more, you will naturally dare to fight after you build up your confidence.

Seeing that this time the defensive counterattack was done very well, directly occupying several cities in the Northern Wei Dynasty, it seemed that everyone was very happy.

Xiao Zirong thought about it for a long time, and finally came to his mind: his Taoyuan City has just stabilized now, why did he start thinking about how to fight the Northern Wei Dynasty?
