Your Majesty, I have a plan to offer.
Just as the Jin Emperor was in a state of utter distress, an old minister, dressed in the manner of a foreigner, suddenly stepped forward from the court and bowed to Wanyan Xichen, saying:
"This old minister has three plans in hand: superior, middle and inferior. As long as Your Majesty listens to this old minister's plans, if Liu Fu dares to continue to come, I guarantee that he and that Vajra will never return."
Wanyan Xi was taken aback:
"Grand Tutor, what's your idea?"
"Do you know that ordinary water and fire cannot harm that beast in the slightest? Even swords, spears, and clubs cannot hurt it in the slightest. This thing is practically invincible. Its body is so huge, and it moves with incredible agility. It can cover a hundred meters away in just a few steps. Do you really have a way to deal with it?"
"Ha ha ha ha."
"Your Majesty, Old Chen's method involves neither knives nor guns. These three strategies are guaranteed to help Your Majesty subdue this behemoth."
"Very well, Grand Tutor, what exactly is your plan? Tell me quickly."
…………
Liaodong.
When you have powerful figures like Vajra (a legendary warrior) getting things done, the results are truly different.
Liu Fu now has eleven giant beasts. Apart from the two that Ma Liang and Wang Ping took to Liaodong Mountain, Zhuge has four of them working on the reservoir, and the rest have all been transferred to help Liu Fu build this hundred-mile Great Wall.
With more Vajra (a type of armor) available, the Great Wall was erected in the weakest point of the plains in Liaodong in just half a month, becoming a veritable winding dragon and a powerful defensive barrier for the Later Han Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, the Qinglong Pass of the Later Jin has been dismantled and brought to the Han Dynasty. Please give it a new name. We can't continue to call it Qinglong Pass as the Later Jin called it; that would diminish the majesty of our Han Dynasty."
After hearing Xiao He's words, Liu Fu tried to think about it for a moment.
"By the way, what do you guys think would be a good name for this place?"
Upon hearing Liu Fu's question, Zhang Fei stepped forward:
"The Great Wall stretches for hundreds of miles, resembling a long dragon winding across the land. No matter how great the enemy's abilities or how imposing their presence, they cannot break through into the pass. It is truly a divine weapon to blunt the enemy's morale and crush their arrogance!"
Guan Yu chimed in from the side:
"How about we call it 'Capture the Sharp Pass'?"
Zhang Fei waved his hand:
"Second brother, capturing Rui Pass is good, but it's not impressive enough."
"In my opinion, it should be called Killing Might Pass. No matter how powerful you are, you'll be slaughtered to the last man at Killing Might Pass. Your power will be gone. This name is domineering and resounding. What do you think?"
Liu Fu had originally wanted to choose a more imposing name for the pass, but upon hearing the name "Killing Might Pass," he immediately nodded and said:
"Yide is right! This name is majestic, interesting, very interesting indeed!"
Zhuge Liang then joined in the teasing:
"Everyone says that our Third General is a leopard-headed, piercing-eyed, and straightforwardly rough man. I never expected that Yide would also be a general who is meticulous despite his rough exterior. Hahahaha."
After the Great Wall was completed, it was immediately renamed Shawei Pass.
Soon after, the news reached the Later Jin.
"Your Majesty, the Later Han has already built our Great Wall along its border and renamed the once-famous Qinglong Pass to Shawei Pass."
"You scoundrel! This is outrageous!"
Wanyan Xi was truly furious at this moment!
He couldn't help but start cursing.
"This is clearly a slap in the face to me, a slap in the face to the Great Jin!"
"Liu Fu, if you don't come, fine. But if you come to the Later Jin again, I will make sure you die without a burial place!"
What a coincidence!
Shortly after Wanyan Xi made this boast, Liu Fu decided to go to the Later Jin again. Collecting protection money and humiliating the Jin soldiers were secondary matters.
Liu Fu's mind is now completely occupied with how to carry out the demolition and relocation.
They dismantled all the city walls of the Later Jin dynasty and took them back to the Liaodong border to build a section of the Great Wall.
If we rely solely on the captured prisoners to build the Great Wall, it will be far too slow. Even if we send out all the available Vajra minions, including all the Vajra warriors, it will still take a considerable amount of time to complete the task.
However, if we directly moved the city walls of the Later Jin dynasty here, the situation would be quite different.
Beyond Qinglong Pass lies a bustling metropolis in the north of the Later Jin dynasty, called Jinyuan Prefecture.
Liu Fu now intends to start with the Jin Yuan Prefecture.
"Thank you all for governing Liaodong. I need to go to the Later Jin again to collect some protection fees and to dismantle some city walls to repair the Great Wall."
Upon hearing Liu Fu's words, Du Ruhui teased:
"Your Majesty is now infamous for his wickedness. Other princes, on the other hand, govern with virtue and educate the people, earning a reputation for wisdom and striving to be sage rulers."
"Our king is quite something, going around robbing people. When they see you coming, they treat you like a plague god, they're terrified. It's truly something else."
Fang Xuanling, a close friend standing next to him, also said:
"Our king truly loves his people like his own children at home and strikes hard against foreign powers."
"Hmm, an angel to the people, a devil to the outside world, Your Majesty, isn't that what they say?"
Zhuge also adopted Liu Fu's usual catchphrases and began to praise him using these words.
Liu Fu chuckled:
"This time when I go to the Later Jin, I will make the formation even bigger. I will take Suanni, Qiongqi and Xingqi with me. However, just these three giant beasts seem to be lacking something."
"Let me ask you, what suggestions do you have if we were to summon another giant beast?"
Liu Fu now has plenty of reputation points, but he really doesn't know what kind of giant beast to summon next.
Liu Fu's idea was simple: use four giant beasts to surround the entire Jin Yuan Mansion, then intimidate the Jin people inside, and then he could dismantle the city walls and collect gold and silver however he pleased.
This is much faster than fighting a war; you can collect protection money directly without having to deploy troops.
But now all the other giant beasts have their own uses. Liu Fu's three beasts can't make up a fourth one. He wants to get a new one, but he doesn't know what kind to get. He already has enough King Kong. Although this guy is practical, you can't just get a bunch of King Kongs, that would look too crude.
At this moment, Zhuge pointed to Japan on the map:
"Japan is located overseas and has been landing and causing trouble for many years, causing great suffering to the people. In addition, the Linren Kingdom also relies on its coastal location and has become a formidable enemy of the Han Dynasty. Has my lord thought about when to deal with these scourges?"
"What does the Prime Minister mean?"
Liu Fu seemed to understand that Zhuge's suggestion was to create a giant beast that could stir up waves in the water, which would make it much easier to conquer the Japanese and the Scaled People in the future.
Having understood their meaning, Liu Fu knew what to do. As for aquatic creatures, there's an old poem that says, "A mountain is not valued for its height, but for the immortals dwelling there; water is not valued for its depth, but for the dragons residing within."
Why not create a dragon?
Not all emperors call themselves the Son of Heaven, the True Dragon. Since you are the true dragons, then create your own dragon and let's see who the real dragon is in the end!
