Chapter 543 The North Sea Is the Arctic Ocean, and the West Sea Is the Atlantic Ocean. This Makes Sense! [Ask for Monthly Tickets]

In the mountains of supplies, Ma Chao flipped through the Xiliang strategy formulated by Jia Xu and Xun Yu and Guo Jia, and asked curiously:

"Many classics of our Han Dynasty say that Jincheng County is close to the West Sea. I grew up in Liangzhou. I heard that the name of the West Sea has been passed down for a long time. Why should that place be renamed Qinghai Lake?"

He was a little puzzled. Could it be that Xihai, which had been called Xihai for so many years, was abandoned like this?

I just listened to "Love Song of the West Sea" with Hao Zhao in Teacher Sun's car a few days ago. Needless to say, it was sung quite nicely.

Zhuge Liang, who was checking supplies, said without raising his head:

"The name West Sea has another purpose. An inland lake is not suitable to be called the sea."

Ma Chao has a straight mind, but he can't make this turn:

"The word "Hai" is no longer needed? Then Beihai also needs to be renamed? Su Wu has been shepherding sheep in Beihai for nineteen years. Wouldn't it be bad if the name was changed?"

Zhuge Liang smiled and said:

"The North Sea that I, a man, call has always been the Arctic Ocean. Su Wu also grazed in the Arctic Ocean for nineteen years. Therefore, the Arctic Ocean has been an inseparable part of China since ancient times. The great scholars in the DPRK are compiling similar classics. The East China Sea, the South China Sea, the West Sea and the North Sea are all clearly defined. Pointing, it has nothing to do with inland lakes.”

Ma Chao:? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

Su Wu couldn't last even nineteen days if he was grazing in the Arctic Ocean, right?

But in this way, it seems that the area south of the Arctic Ocean is all the territory of China, and the expedition to the north immediately becomes the recovery of the homeland... Damn, you cultural people will still be able to change the name of a place and expand the territory of China several times.

He asked quietly:

"Then what is the name of Beihai going to be changed to now?"

Zhuge Liang flipped through the information saved on his phone and said:

"The name displayed in the real world is Lake Baikal. This kind of foreign name does not fit the style of our big men at first sight, so Mr. Wenhe has changed its name to Shengzi Lake. Drinking the water there can obtain the Holy Son of the Wa Palace, and also It’s my master’s protection, what do you think, brother Meng Qi?”

I think... I think you guys are quite thick-skinned... At this moment, Ma Chao felt relieved. No wonder he kept failing in the original work. His opponents were all such strategists. How could he fight?

However, the name Shengzi Lake is not bad. If we have a chance, we will ride a white horse and go there to have a look. I heard that there are freshwater seals in it. When the time comes, I will catch two and give them to His Highness Shengzi. When he is happy, he may give them to We can also extend our life by ten or twenty years.

After some anticipation, Ma Chao asked again:

"The name of the West Sea has been taken away. Where do you plan to put it in the future?"

"Then it depends on where you can reach. If you can reach Central Asia, the Caspian Sea will be the West Sea; if you can cross the Eurasian continental shelf, the Black Sea will be the West Sea; if you can advance into Europe, the Mediterranean Sea will be the West Sea..."

Ma Chao understood now:

"Anyway, wherever the troops strike, there is the West Sea. Then if Europe is unified in the future, the Atlantic Ocean will be the West Sea, right?"

"Yes, our Han Dynasty is a country of etiquette. We only want to recover our homeland south of the North Sea, west of the East China Sea, north of the South China Sea, and east of the West Sea. We will not take the initiative to invade other countries. However, if someone provokes us, even though our Han Dynasty is weak in national power, , will also gather the strength of the whole country to fight back angrily!”

Xiao Kongming was shaking his head and talking when Sun Facai came over and couldn't help pinching his cheek:

"You have so many clever ideas at a young age. Your master was not as bad as you when he was young...are these supplies for the Western Regions? Are there any toys suitable for my child?"

Ma Chao pointed to the all-terrain ATV that had just arrived and asked:

"Is this good?"

"Okay, okay, but I can't bear the thought that it's for the soldiers over there... Forget it, I'll let Brother Yu buy it later. I'll buy a 4090 graphics card for my child first, and then another one. A PS5 game console, a 4K120 frame monitor, and a motorcycle..."

After listening, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but ask:

"Teacher Sun, are these what you want to play with?"

"No way, I'm a father now, and I'm devoted to my children. I don't have time to play with these things... Mao'er will have a full-moon party soon. I've prepared all the gifts. Don't be stingy with me."

"Don't worry, everything is ready."

Sun Facai turned around, put his arm around Zhuge Liang's shoulders and whispered:

"Brother Liang, if I die one day, please remember to take good care of my son. Don't ask him to be rich, just let him live in peace. If he wants to go to the real world, you can also help run it. Please."

Ma Chao looked surprised:

"Teacher Sun, are you asking Kong Ming for help?"

"That's right, the most reliable one in the Three Kingdoms should be Brother Liang, right?"

Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly and said:

"Teacher Sun, don't be like this. If you say unlucky words so early in the morning, you will easily be scolded by Grandma Nuwa."

"That's all I'm saying, if I die..."

Before he could finish his words, a bolt of lightning as thin as a hair fell from the sky, hitting Sun Facai on the head. His half-grown hair immediately stood up, becoming a popular figure in China more than ten years ago. Kill Matt style.

Sun Facai, who had just retorted, quickly raised his hands to the sky and saluted:

"Auntie, I was wrong, so wrong!"

A gust of wind blew by, and his killer figure was restored again. Everyone was surprised to see it, but they did not dare to discuss it, for fear that the empress would do it to him.

After all the supplies were transported, Liu Xie drove another oil tanker with more than 30 tons of gasoline for ATVs.

It's not enough for marching and other things, but for reconnaissance, it won't be a big problem until next spring.

After everyone took stock, they thought it was almost done. Jia Xu patted his head and said:

"For fuel, let's get some more coal. Transport all the coal in the city, and also send a batch of coal stoves produced in the industrial zone. We must ensure the supply of heating and meals in the Western Region."

Zhang Daoling's figure had just appeared from the sky. After hearing this, he waved his fly whisk and said:

"Forget it, old man Coal will transport it to them. I have to go to the Westward Journey, so I can't delay any longer."

Sun Facai raised his head and asked:

"What about the coal stove?"

"I did some in my spare time. Although it's not much, it's enough for Zhu Jun... Everyone, please leave here."

When everyone walked away, Zhang Daoling stretched out his hand, and all the supplies in the square immediately flew up neatly, then became smaller and smaller, and finally they were all put into Zhang Daoling's hands.

Then he waved his whisk and disappeared into the sky.

In Liuzhong City in the Western Regions, the low city walls were covered with snow. Zhu Jun led his men back from a deep and shallow expedition. Just when he was about to let the soldiers drink some hot soup to warm themselves up, he discovered that the temporary governor's palace in the city had already been built. Crushed by heavy snow.

Zhu Jun smiled bitterly:

"I didn't expect the snow here to be so heavy, but I still underestimated it... Everyone, put up the captured tents to keep warm temporarily, and then rebuild the Governor's Mansion after the heavy snow stops."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a hundred-foot-tall Taoist appear in the sky:

"My God, am I hallucinating?"

Zhang Daoling said:

"I am the goddess Nuwa who is walking in the human world, Zhang Daoling. His Royal Highness the Holy Son takes pity on you. Pindao was ordered to bring some supplies from Chang'an. In addition, there is also a strategy for the Western Regions formulated by the imperial court. Please read it carefully, General Zhu, and restore the prestige of the Han Dynasty in the Western Regions as soon as possible. !”

After speaking, Lao Zhang waved his whisk, and the heavy snow in the city suddenly disappeared. The collapsed Changshi Mansion was erected and replaced with a brick building, which was much stronger than before.

Zhang Daoling slowly landed, and with a wave of his hand, the various supplies in his hand gradually enlarged and fell from the air.

When it landed on the ground, there was a huge amount of food, countless clothes, and various living facilities. The most eye-catching ones were the ten wind turbines.

Lao Zhang buried it directly in the soil, and then lightly used the petrification technique. The originally soft sand immediately turned into hard stone.

Zhu Jun was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that it could be operated like this.

Zhang Daoling connected the wires of the wind turbine, and with a wave of his hand, 5,000 tons of coal were brought from the ground in Hami, not far away, and piled up in the small town like a mountain of coal.

Zhu Jun and his men repeatedly raised their hands in salutes and thanked them. With coal and food, they could accomplish great things no matter how cold the Western Regions were.

Lao Zhang said with a smile:

"Don't take the initiative recently. Learn how to use these equipment and supplies first, so as not to make mistakes and waste the Holy Son's good intentions."

A young employee next to Zhu Jun raised his hands and saluted:

"We didn't want to take the initiative, but Liuzhong City is small and small, and there is no danger to defend it. Therefore, we formulated a strategy to turn passive into active and eliminate the disobedient tribes in advance to prevent the other parties from joining forces to attack the city. "

Seeing that he was talking well, Zhang Daoling asked with a warm face:

"Who's next?"

"After Pinglinghou, martial arts Su Ze!"

Hearing the name Su Ze, Zhang Daoling asked in surprise:

"Aren't you taking refuge in Jincheng? Why did you come to the Western Region?"

Zhu Jun replied:

"The old god didn't know something. I met the literary master by chance on the way to the Western Regions. We had a pleasant conversation and told the court that things are different now. Later, when I rushed to Zhangye, the literary master chased me on horseback and said that he would come to the border to praise me as a great man. With great national prestige, he is now working as a pianong in the Governor's Office of the Western Regions... I have written to the court, but the official system has been weakened and correspondence is extremely inconvenient. "

Su Ze raised his hands and asked:

"How did the old immortal know that I'm here?"

"I saw in the history books that you later achieved great success, and your child is also a famous general... Since you are serving as an official in the Western Regions, I will give you a gift."

After speaking, Zhang Daoling pulled out four silk threads from the fly whisk and flicked them hard. The four threads immediately turned into four walls, each of which was about three feet high and ten miles long, wrapping the entire Liuzhong City tightly.

Zhu Jun was so surprised that he didn't know what to say. He knew that he had help from gods, but he didn't expect that he could help to this extent.

With strong city walls and massive supplies, you don’t have to worry about surviving the winter!

Zhang Daoling said:

"Originally, I was just moving supplies under the orders of the Holy Son, but this move was contaminated by cause and effect, that's all. Who made me a Han citizen... I will come back in a year and help you move this city to a more suitable place. Within this year, you can all-out conquer the foreign tribes and determine the location of the Western Region Governor's Palace."

After saying that, his figure disappeared, and Zhu Jun led the troops of the Western Region Governor's Mansion to kneel on the ground and salute, thanking the old god for his efforts.

After a long while, Su Ze rubbed his face, feeling like he was dreaming.

Zhu Jun wrapped his cloak tightly and said:

"Even the gods themselves appeared and condescended to help. This is a sign of God's blessing. If you don't give up, please join me in making achievements to repay Your Majesty's kindness!"

Everyone knelt down on one knee and shouted in unison:

"I am willing to follow the governor to make great achievements and serve the imperial court!"

In the real world, Li Yu sat in front of the statue, watching this scene, and his blood boiled with excitement. Unfortunately, he couldn't shout slogans in the book and could only do some trivial tasks.

"Mom, if Zhang Daoling is so helpful, what will happen to him?"

"In the future, all soldiers killed or wounded in Liuzhong City's defense will be counted on his head."

ah?

Then didn’t Lao Zhang bear a lot of karma for nothing?

The empress continued:

"Although there are additional causes and effects, Zhang Daoling's act of becoming a saint helped the Han Dynasty manage the Western Regions, indirectly contributed to the expansion of territory, and at the same time increased countless foreign believers, so he should be able to gain a lot of merit."

Isn’t merit alone enough?

Li Yu thought for a while and said:

"Zhang Daoling helped Zhu Jun in my name. Transfer all his karma to me. We can't let the people who work bleed and shed tears."

The empress was a little surprised:

"you sure?"

"I'm sure. I can't go to the world in the book anyway, and those merits are of no use. Just offset the cause and effect... By the way, the remaining merits will be transferred to my godmother to make her feel more comfortable in the underworld."

The empress was very moved in her heart:

"I really found a good son, you are my pride!"

After speaking, she played what Li Yu had just said in the Wa Palace.

Zhang Daoling, who had just returned to the Wa Palace and was sitting in the front garden preparing to drink a cup of tea, was so moved that he almost lost his balance in holding the tea cup. Taibai Jinxing was so excited that he rubbed his hands together. He never expected that Li Yu would say such a thing:

"What virtues and abilities do you and I have to meet such a good young master like His Royal Highness the Holy Son?"

Zhang Daoling also expressed emotion:

"From the human world to the heaven, I have met many monarchs of all kinds. Never has His Royal Highness the Holy Son taken the initiative to take the cause and effect on himself... To meet His Highness is really a blessing for you and me, a blessing for the great man, and a blessing for the world." !”

In the living room of the Wa Palace, Yun Xiao, who was a guest, heard Li Yu's voice, and her pretty face turned slightly red. After hearing it, she couldn't help but look at the ring on her finger, looking proud of it. .

The empress conveyed Li Yu's words to the underworld and said to Empress Houtu:

"Congratulations on having such a wonderful godson."

Empress Houtu did not expect that Li Yu would miss her so much, so she wiped the tears from her eyes and said:

"Congratulations to you too, for having such a wonderful son."

In the real world, Li Yu returned to the B&B from the scenic spot and drove Diao Chan to the archaeological team. Professor Zhou would take the little girl to treat the school leaders to dinner tonight, so he couldn't be late.

Zhou Ruotong was away, and Diao Chan finally sat in the passenger seat again. She looked down at the cicada wing ring on her ring finger, worried that the teacher would find it inappropriate, so she immediately took it off, took out a red string from her bag, tied it, and hung it on On the slender white neck.

"Husband, does this look good?"

"You look good. You are so beautiful. You will look good with anything hanging around your neck... Don't drink at night, and don't let your sister Zhou drink."

"No, just now the head teacher sent a message saying that everyone is drinking juice. The freshly squeezed pomegranate juice in that restaurant is so sweet and delicious, but it is so expensive, costing dozens of dollars per bottle, I am not willing to buy it."

At this moment, there was a traffic light ahead. Li Yu stopped the car, raised his hand and pinched the little girl's cheek:

"Just spend it when it's time to spend it. Don't spend the whole day digging at it."

"It's not easy for a husband to make money, so he can't bear to part with me... I am the least educated and the least wealthy person in our family. Will my husband dislike me?"

Li Yu interlocked with her and said with a smile:

"Why don't you say you are the youngest?"

"It won't be the case in a few years, because someone likes to pretend to be eighteen years old... I have been waiting to see Sister Guiying peel off all the difficulties, and find out from the clues that the person pretending to be eighteen years old is her husband. In the end, you admitted it yourself ”

"Well, as a family, we have to be open and honest, not secretive."

Yes, we are being frank, we are not worried about being killed by the Queen with a flying knife.

Diao Chan chuckled, held Li Yu's hand and said:

"Don't worry, I will protect your husband!"

Arriving at the archaeological team, Zhou Ruotong was getting ready to get off work. Diao Chan came to the office and helped organize documents diligently, while Li Yu competed with the Rubik's Cube and mentioned Zhang Daoling's help in transporting express delivery.

"It's a pity that it's just this one time. If we can send it once a day, unifying the world won't be a problem."

Zhou Ruotong said with a smile:

"We have to develop step by step, and we can't be too eager for quick success, lest the people can't keep up with the pace of the court."

After locking the door of the office, Diao Chan took Zhou Ruotong's arm and went downstairs. After waving goodbye to Li Yu, she got into the Masari Guard and prepared to go to the appointment.

Li Yu also drove away and came to the bicycle cemetery, just in time to catch up with Zi Shou to deliver dinner.

Today's dinner was very sumptuous, including beef stewed with potatoes, ribs stewed with beans, sweet and sour sea fish fillets, shrimp stewed with tomatoes, and an unnamed vegetable soup that tasted very fresh.

"Empress Yunxiao said that this is a kind of fairy grass, which is usually used to feed mounts and spiritual beasts. Occasionally, she made a soup and it tasted pretty good, so she specially asked him to try it. I hope he won't dislike it."

Damn it, the fairy grass that feeds spiritual beasts? No wonder it tastes so good.

Li Yu filled some rice, covered the four dishes with each other, and made himself a deluxe version of donburi.

Just as they were about to start eating, Mu Guiying arrived on time with a stainless steel basin:

"Haha, I found that it is quite convenient to go back to Muke Village from the B&B, and then come here from Muke Village. When I can open the door in other places in the future, wouldn't I be able to save a lot of travel expenses?"

Li Yu: "..."

Why are you, like Baby Cicada, becoming more and more picky lately?

But if I go back to a foreign country and open a time and space portal, I can travel between China and abroad at any time, and I can save tens of thousands of dollars in air tickets for one trip... Hey, why do I think so?

Mu Guiying first served Li Fengyang a small bowl of rice, then turned back and held her stainless steel bowl, eating:

"I'm going to learn to drive tomorrow. Are there any precautions? Do I need to bring some food and drinks to supplement my nutrition? Is there any food for sale near the driving school? What if I can't make it back for lunch?"

Li Yu: "..."

Are you learning to drive or gaining weight?

He said:

"Tomorrow I will just get familiar with the car, it won't take too long, and it won't delay your meal... By the way, don't bring the flying knife."

"Why, don't I, a weak woman, need protection?"

Wu Song on the side said with a smile:

"Put aside the matter of protecting you, we must first protect the driving school coach!"
