After Muchuan led the soldiers back to the military camp, he couldn't wait to deliver the mission.
[Beep - It is detected that the host has completed the main mission, please wait a moment! 】
The sound of the system reached Muchuan's ears. He closed his eyes and recited a few mantras silently. Then, the system issued a new task to him.
This is a hidden task, and the host needs to find clues by himself.
Muchuan frowned and carefully checked the new mission content.
[Mission goal: Return to Chang'an to help the Tang Dynasty establish a university. It is required to focus on teaching science and engineering technology. The construction of the university must use cement technology and lay asphalt roads in the courtyard! The mission period is 3 months! 】
"..."
Muchuan looked at this task and fell silent.
He was indeed a top student in his previous life, but that doesn't mean he knows everything. He is not familiar with civil engineering such as cement.
However, now that his mission has been issued, he cannot refuse.
Just have to give it a try.
Muchuan took a deep breath and then ordered: "Reorganize the team, clean the battlefield, and set off back to Chang'an soon."
System: [Main mission: The host must capture Goguryeo within two years and completely eliminate the Goguryeo nation.
Task reward: Chemical engineering basics and plastic technology!】
Muchuan: "..."
Chemical engineering basics?
Is this a good thing?
Muchuan touched his chin. He accepted this task.
The goal is to destroy Goguryeo anyway, so sooner or later there will be this battle.
In this case, he might as well take care of Goguryeo first.
"Someone is coming!"
Muchuan yelled, "Pack up and return to Chang'an!"
The next day, Muchuan left the border town with his soldiers.
The group of Goguryeo soldiers who had been guarding the border town were waiting for Muchuan's men to retreat, so that they could take the opportunity to return and capture the border town.
However, what they never expected was that Muchuan would station his troops here and use a new type of material to build a fortress!
This material is strong and strong, not afraid of fire at all, and is even stronger than ordinary brick walls!
If Goguryeo soldiers want to invade, they must break through this layer of protection.
But they tried for a long time without success.
Muchuan saw that Goguryeo soldiers did not dare to approach easily, so he had trenches dug to connect the boundary river between the two countries, and then buried explosives and detonated them.
After a loud noise, the water flow in the boundary river changed its course!
They rushed towards Goguryeo and drowned the fleet of Goguryeo soldiers.
"Boom——"
There was a violent shaking, and many boats were floating on the river. Some boats sank, while others managed to escape.
The Goguryeo soldiers were frightened.
They didn't expect that Tang Dynasty would be so cruel. Not only could they use gunpowder weapons, but they would also use such powerful water attacks!
"Retreat—retreat quickly!"
The Goguryeo general across the river hurriedly ordered his soldiers to retreat.
However, in this battle, all Goguryeo soldiers and civilians suffered heavy losses. Moreover, their food and grass were destroyed and there was no way to replenish them in a short time.
"Damn it!"
Those Goguryeo people were very angry.
"General, what should we do now?"
The deputy general looked at his general worriedly.
The Goguryeo general clenched his fists tightly and looked gloomy.
"We have to grab a batch of food and bring it back!"
"But where do we get food now?"
"Aren't there more than a thousand prisoners?
Let's seize the time to sell these people, and maybe we can get some food back."
The Goguryeo general muttered.
"The general is wise!"
Muchuan knew that the Goguryeo army was very evil, so he came up with this strategy based on his own experience.
He knew that as long as the boundary river flooded, the army on the opposite side would not be able to come, and he could just use explosives to divert the boundary river and cause it to flood.
Only in this way can I return to Chang'an with peace of mind.
At least Goguryeo here has been honest for a while.
The Goguryeo people were on the southwest border of Goguryeo, separated from the Tang Dynasty by three mountains. Although the Goguryeo generals were very angry at Muchuan's decision, they could do nothing to Muchuan, and in the end they could only lead their troops to leave in despair.
However, their eyes are still fixed on the border of Datang, and it seems that they may make a comeback at any time.
Muchuan was not worried about this matter at all.
His Majesty the Tang Emperor Li Shimin's current strategy for governing the country is: the more the enemy is ready to move, the more we should stay calm and not panic.
Only by stabilizing the morale of the military can the Tang Dynasty become more powerful.
It was only then that Muchuan discovered that he had done something after traveling through time so many years ago. He became the richest man in the Tang Dynasty and became as rich as anyone in the country!
But there was no good development in the Tang Dynasty.
Except for a few technologies and objects given away by the system, the Tang Dynasty was still the ancient feudal country.
But Muchuan was not satisfied. He hoped that the Tang Dynasty would become stronger and more powerful than any other Western country in history.
This is his responsibility and his new goal.
Muchuan arranged some defensive fortifications in the border town and appeased the Tang people here before preparing to return to Chang'an.
However, when he was about to embark on his journey to Chang'an, he suddenly heard a system prompt.
System: [Ding dong, congratulations to the host for triggering the hidden mission.
】
Since there is a hidden mission, he must not miss it, so he asked seriously: "System, what is the hidden mission?"
[The host can go to Youzhou to investigate the possibility of establishing the deputy capital of the Tang Dynasty. After completing the task, you can obtain urban construction technology and highway construction technology, as well as additional rewards.
】
"Youzhou..." Muchuan rubbed his chin and thought for a while, "I do know this place, but it's a pity that I have never been there since I traveled through time."
Muchuan searched for information about Youzhou from his memory and finally found the information about Youzhou.
Youzhou belongs to a large piece of land in the northern region of the Tang Dynasty. It is far away from Chang'an and is under the nose of the Turkic royal court.
Although Youzhou was the capital city and the capital of China in my own era, in the Tang Dynasty it was a border city and an important town in the north against the Turks.
I don’t know if this place can become a deputy capital.
"System, can you tell me the specific situation of Youzhou?"
The system told Muchuan the general situation in Youzhou.
Muchuan nodded, "I understand."
He remembered another place.
On the border between Datang and Goguryeo, there was a large river called the Yalu River, which was the only barrier blocking the exchanges between the two countries.
He now used this boundary river to temporarily hinder Goguryeo's invasion.
But the Turks and the Tang Dynasty are different!
There is grassland between the two countries, not even a mountain barrier.
Muchuan sat in the carriage, resting his chin on his hands, lost in thought.
The Turkic cavalry is very tough. If the threat from the north is not dealt with as soon as possible, it is hard to say whether the city can be saved, let alone turning Youzhou into a deputy capital.
