- Chapter 507 [Then the problem arises]
Although Cold Spring Pass has the word "pass" in its name, there is actually no military fortress checkpoint here.
This is a border city that has been abandoned thousands of years ago. It was originally because the western part of the empire was invaded by the prairie people. The area west of Lengquan Pass, which is the "Northwest Region" in the traditional sense of the Roland people, suffered from Intrusion by prairie people. Prairie people invade and plunder all year round. The Roland Empire has been in a strategic defensive position for a long time, so it built such a "Cold Spring Pass" here as an important stronghold to defend against the eastward advance of the prairie people. In order to protect most of the empire east of Cold Spring Pass from being trampled by the iron hoofs of the prairie people.
Later, as the empire became stronger, the Northwest Army was once again established in the northwest, which gradually stabilized the northwest region and gained a strategic advantage over the grassland people. Cold Spring Pass no longer had any military value and became the empire's " Inner abdomen".
It is undoubtedly a waste to maintain such a military stronghold in the heart of the empire. Therefore, the empire completely abandoned this control card.
After hundreds of years, this Cold Spring Pass has long been turned into a ruin.
Only a piece of earthen city wall remains here, and even the main building of the city gate gate no longer exists. It has gradually disappeared under the wind and sand year after year. It is even covered with weeds. From a distance, it looks like a tower. Tushanbao.
After the carriage drove slowly through Lengquan Pass, a road next to Lengquan Pass led directly to the northwest - this road was built later and was fairly flat. A large gap was created directly in a section of the earthen city wall on the side of Lengquan Pass.
Sitting on the carriage, Chen Daolin looked at the mountains of Lengquan Pass as if he was in a daze.
A moment later. He withdrew his eyes and sighed softly.
"Why are you sighing?"
Sitting next to him was Fiona. This woman stared at Chen Daolin She always liked to quietly spy on Chen Daolin's face along the way.
Chen Daolin glanced at her and said with a smile: "All the great passes have turned into dust. Isn't this a sad thing?"
Fiona's eyes flickered, and she suddenly said: "The location of Cold Spring Pass is actually very critical. If something happens to the northwest, as long as there is an army to guard Cold Spring Pass, then even if the northwest is in trouble, the fire will not burn the east. Come. But now"
"Is there anything going on in the northwest now?" Chen Daolin took a deep look at Fiona.
"It's hard to say." Fiona smiled deliberately: "But after passing Lengquan Pass, heading east for thousands of miles of fertile land, directly to the imperial capital, there is almost no danger to defend along the way. And as long as you occupy the upper reaches of the Lancang River, you can take a boat Go down the river and reach the imperial capital. Do you think this cold spring pass is important?"
Chen Daolin pondered briefly. He nodded: "It is indeed importantbut this pass has already been turned into soil, so why bother talking about it again."
Fiona's eyes flashed and she suddenly said: "Darling, you have read a lot of historical records about the empire, and presumably you have also read a lot of biographies of the first Duke of my Tulip family. You may know that there is a story about Cold Spring Pass. allusion?"
"Allusion?"
Chen Daolin suddenly felt a little energetic.
Fiona took a deep breath. Staring into Chen Daolin's eyes, he slowly said: "In the past, when Lord Du Wei, the first Duke of Tulip, came to power, the empire was in turmoil due to war. There were alien races in the north, and the grasslands in the west could not be said to be stable
The first Tulip Duke once had an idea He said. The best thing to do is to prepare for the worst.
The geographical location of Cold Spring Pass is actually very important. He once wanted to rebuild Cold Spring Pass as the last line of defense in the northwest of the empire.
You see, the location of Lengquan Pass, as long as this majestic pass is rebuilt here and tens of thousands of elite troops are stationed.
So once something happens in the northwest, whether it¡¯s the prairie people moving eastward, or the orc kingdom breaking through the northwest fortress and moving south In the end, if you want to enter the empire, you have to pass through Cold Spring Pass!
"If we rebuild the pass here and station tens of thousands of elite troops, it will be the last line of defense to defend the fertile land thousands of miles deep within the empire!" !
As long as Cold Spring Pass is not lost, the imperial capital will be safe!
If Lengquan Pass is lost, then thousands of miles to the east, there is no danger to defend, and the enemy can gallop directly under the city wall of the imperial capital.
Darling Chen, do you think the idea of ??the first Tulip Duke is interesting? "
Hearing this, Chen Daolin pondered for a moment, then smiled and said: "The idea itself is correct. If something big happens, Cold Spring Pass can indeed be used as the last line of defense. But NorthwestWhat big thing could happen? That is the base camp of your Tulip family. If the situation really deteriorates to the point where the entire northwest is lost and the cold spring pass needs to be defendedthen your Tulip family will have perished long ago.
I don¡¯t think the heroes of Du Wei¡¯s generation would be so unsure of their Tulip family. "
"So although Master Du Wei proposed this idea later, he quickly gave up the idea." Fiona seemed to be laughing.
"Oh?" Chen Daolin narrowed his eyes: "There is also a possibilityunlessunless the Tulip family rebels! Then the northwest is naturally no longer owned by the empire. Only when this happens, the empire will We need a place like Cold Spring Pass as a barrier."
The smile on Fiona's face was a little forced: "You are joking, the Tulip family has been loyal for generations, how could it be the opposite."
Chen Daolin said leisurely: "It's hard to say. At the beginning, everyone said that Shiloh was a foodie prince with no ambitions, but what about now?"
Fiona kept silent and seemed to be afraid to take up such a sensitive topic.
For a moment, the carriage fell into silence.
Chen Daolin turned his head again and looked at the Cold Spring Pass carefully again.
After looking at it for a long time, Chen Daolin's heart moved.
Although Lengquan Pass has been abandoned, it is not impossible to rebuild it.
Although the main city walls and buildings have been abandoned, the foundation is still there. If it needs to be rebuilt, only the original earthen city walls need to be repaired. The project won't be too big.
As for the fortress level that has turned into a slope, the outline of the main building is still there. Just need to build some fortifications, and then it will have some military value.
But after thinking about it, Chen Daolin shook his head and laughed at himself: I am afraid that this Cold Spring Pass will never be used again, and the kind of thing he imagined will never happen.
The Tulip family rebelled?
What a joke!
That woman doesn¡¯t look like she wants to be an emperor.
Well?
If she really becomes the emperor wouldn't she be the queen?
What if I really married her? Wouldn't that be the future emperor, his father?
Hahahahahathis kind of thing is too ridiculous.
That's ridiculous¡¡

The carriage passed through the land of Nulin Province, and a few days later approached Mulan City, the capital city of Nulin Province.
Although we clearly know that Panin is in this city. But Chen Daolin had no intention of going to the city to catch up with this old acquaintance.
Moreover, after passing through Nulin Province for the past few days, I clearly felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
The towns we passed along the way were heavily guarded.
The local garrison has been mobilized. Although the city defense is not tighter than before, cavalry from the local garrison can be seen galloping along the road from time to time.
These are all patrolling scouts, patrolling around.
This is clearly an atmosphere of approaching war.
The closer we got to Mulan City. I can feel this atmosphere more and more.
Near Mulan City, the two divisions of Thunder God¡¯s Whip seemed to be ready to mobilize the entire army.
There were actually some military fortifications stored on several main roads outside Mulan City. Chen Daolin even saw some military transport teams carrying various ordnance and supplies.
This large-scale mobilization and transportation of military supplies carries an unusual signal.
When passing by a small town, Governor Fritz sent his men out to investigate. Brought back news.
Panin, the commander-in-chief of the northwest, has issued an order to classify Mulan City and three other nearby cities into the military area, and the two divisions of Thunder God's Whip have completely taken over the defense of this area.
In addition, all the few local garrison troops in Nulin Province were mobilized. Even the logistical support units were not spared, and all were mobilized and mobilized. More than 10,000 local garrison troops began emergency training - although the official explanation was given. Governor Panin, the governor-general of the northwest, is preparing to conduct a military review before the New Year to rectify the armaments of Nulin Province.
But everyone knows that things are never that simple.
When Governor Fritz was resting that night, he took out a map of the Nulin Province, scribbled on it for a while, and then drew on it.?The map was placed in front of Chen Daolin.
"It seems there's going to be a war here."
Fighting?
Chen Daolin glanced at Governor Fritz in surprise.
"Don't believe it?" Governor Fritz sneered: "Look at this picture carefully. I compiled it based on the information my subordinates found out. If Panin had put up such a posture in the northwest, if there was no war, ¡The few years I spent at the Imperial Military Academy were in vain!¡±
Chen Daolin's expression changed slightly and he lowered his head to look at the map.
On the map, Governor Fritz has used two different pens, red and blue, to outline two areas on the map. On the map at this moment, a red area band and a blue area band are closely attached to each other, showing a fan-shaped state.
"The red is centered on Mulan City and radiates to the three cities around it. These three cities plus Mulan City happen to be a fan shape, blocking the westernmost part. The red area is currently all assigned to the Whip of the Thunder God The military area that took over the defense. The blue area, after the red area, is the blue area composed of more than 10,000 local garrison troops mobilized and assembled. After the red area, it is considered the second line of defense. .
Panin has put on a defensive posture. "
Governor Fritz said this, paused deliberately, and said with a smile, "Then, here comes the problem"
