Aniu's face changed and he nodded happily.

He is a coolie with horse heads. He has never worn new shoes when he grows up so old. He picks up every pair of shoes that others don’t want, and then takes them home to sew them and keep them for themselves.

After the carriage left the city, after driving for a few miles, he arrived at a forest surrounded by mountains.

There is a dirt road in the middle of the forest for pedestrians and carriages to walk on, which divides the dense and green forest into east and west sides.

The mountains and forests in the east are cliffs by the sea, while the mountains in the west are bordered by the inland.

"Boss, the highest mountain in the east is our warehouse." A Niu pointed to the mountain in the east excitedly.

Qi Tian came out of the carriage, stood beside Aniu, and looked around the surrounding mountains and landforms.

After a long time... a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he nodded secretly. Uncle Jiu is indeed a military talent. This is a great place. I have not misjudged the person!

With such talents to help you, you can greatly increase your time as a three-good young man in the future, Qi Tian thought in his heart.

Set the warehouse on the top of the mountain and beside you can see everything at the foot of the mountain clearly. Moreover, the mountain road is rugged and the stones are everywhere, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Unless the troops of the enemy and us are a hundred times different, there is no possibility of capturing the top of the mountain.

If you choose to get the top of the mountain in the east, and not the top of the mountain in the west, Qi Tian can probably guess Uncle Jiu’s idea.

Although the top of a mountain is easy to defend but difficult to attack, it also has a fatal flaw, that is, it is easy to be surrounded by enemies.

If the enemy chooses to fight for a long time and spends heavy troops to siege the mountain. Once the water source and food on the mountain are cut off, the top of the mountain will become a turtle in a jar, and the soldiers on the mountain will be unstable and difficult to fight. The defeat is nothing more than a matter of time.

But the east side just happened to solve this problem!

Because the top of the mountain in the east only borders the inland on three sides, and the cliffs on the east are coastal areas. As long as you prepare in advance, even if you are surrounded, you will not be short of water and food. After all, there are fish, shrimps, crabs and meat in the sea, and the sea water can be boiled and filtered, and it can also be drunk.

If you take another step back, even if you can't defeat the enemy, you can arrange your ships in advance and escape to the sea, so this is really an excellent military base!

Since there were few people coming to this forest in the past, the roads in the mountains had not been built yet, several people tied their carriages to a big tree at the foot of the mountain and could only walk to the top of the mountain.

Xia Qingxue has a martial arts foundation and does not have any effort to climb mountaineering. A Niu is born with a strong body. In addition, he used to be a hardworking man, so this mountain road is no problem.

But Qi Tian and Liu'er were in trouble. They had never walked such a rugged mountain road. They stepped on the gravel on the mountain several times and almost slid down the mountain...

Qi Tian complained: "This mountain road is really hard to walk, and my feet hurt."

Although Liu'er did not complain, she also had a slightly frown on her eyebrows and her small forehead was covered with fine sweat.

Xia Qingxue was a little embarrassed when she heard Qi Tian’s complaint, and then said, “Brother-in-law, why don’t I carry you up the mountain? I know light skills and I can go up soon.”

Qi Tian was speechless. He suddenly remembered the puppies raised in rural areas. When they were just born, they were people holding the skin on their necks and lifting them up and down...

"Little sister, why don't you change your position? For example, holding your brother-in-law up?" Qi Tian suggested.

Xia Qingxue was stunned, then shook her head and said, "Then I will not be lucky, and if I don't have luck, I will not be able to raise my brother-in-law."

Qi Tian was speechless, but he just changed his posture and had something to do with luck. After all, he was not good at kung fu and needed practice.

When several people were about to reach the top of the mountain, a knock of "ding, ding, ding, ding, ding" came from above.

"Boss!"

"A Niu!"

………

A familiar voice came from the mountain.

Since it was morning and the sun was fierce, the few people looked up and felt that the sun was very dazzling.

"Hehe, boss, you are finally here! Look, what's the place you chose?" Uncle Jiu smiled and greeted Qi Tian.

Qi Tian took a few breaths, glanced at him angrily, and said, "Before repairing the road! If you always do this in the future, wouldn't you have to rest for a few days after a trip? My calves and waist will definitely hurt tomorrow."

Uncle Jiu blushed and smiled awkwardly, "Boss, we were officially stationed here yesterday. We arranged for brothers to open the mountain and build the road early this morning. I guess the mountain road will be repaired in no time."

Qi Tian continued to walk towards the top of the mountain. From time to time, many strong young men were digging the ground with hammers and shovels. After a rough count, there were as many as two or three hundred people.

They all looked at the young man with Uncle Jiu curiously, not understanding who the young man in white clothes was. It seems that Uncle Jiu was a bit flattering to the strange young man.

Finally arrived at the top of the mountain, Qi Tian sat directly on the ground regardless of the soil on the ground, gasping for breath...

Then, Uncle Jiu and A Niu sat on both sides of him.

"Is this the position you chose?" Qi Tian asked.

Uncle Jiu smiled and nodded immediately, saying proudly: "Boss, this is the place I chose. I chose strictly according to the standards that the boss said was sparsely populated and unattractive. Not only that, but also..."

Qi Tian responded: "It is still an excellent strategic location. It is condescending, with rugged mountain roads, easy to defend and difficult to attack. In addition, it is also near the sea to the east, which solves the major hidden danger of building a city on the top of the mountain."

Uncle Jiu was stunned, then his old face turned red and he nodded. He originally wanted to borrow his past military experience to seek credit, but he didn't expect that he would be seen through by Qi Tian.

Qi Tian glanced at Uncle Jiu and smiled and said, "It's much better than I expected. I'm not wrong with you."

When it is time to encourage, you should encourage it, otherwise they will always hit others and they will lose enthusiasm.
